Since Yuyi used Tang Zhou to pass the information of the Golden Uprising to the imperial court, Zhang Jiao and the people of the giant deer rose up, and the Golden Army pointed directly at Fanyang in Youzhou, and Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, heard that the Yellow Turban Army was coming, so he called the captain Zou Jing to the hall to discuss the matter, and said: "This time the Yellow Turban Army is menacing, and there are responses from all over the country, what should I do?" ”

Zou Jing thought for a while and replied: "The reinforcements of the imperial court should still be on the way, but the far water can't save the near fire, we don't have many soldiers guarding the city, we should recruit some righteous people in the city as soon as possible to fill our team, which is also in line with the meaning of the imperial court." ”

Liu Yan is the queen of Hanlu Gong, is an authentic Jiangxia Jingling people, he does not understand the war in the north, so he obeys Zou Jing's meaning, so Youzhou City publicly listed to recruit volunteers.

The news of Bangwen spread to Zhuo County, attracting the attention of local heroes, and soon surrounded Bangwen, one of whom had a face like a crown of jade, lips like grease, born seven feet five inches long, two ears hanging shoulders, hands over knees, eyes can take care of their ears, a strange person at a glance.

At that time, Yuyi entered the territory of Youzhou and came to Zhuo County, and happened to encounter such a scene, so he went up to make friends.

"Why is Your Excellency sighing?"

Yuyi walked up to the man and asked softly.

"I heard that the Yellow Turban advocated chaos today, and I had the ambition to break the thieves and settle the people, but I couldn't hate, so I sighed."

The man bowed his hand, and it was considered a salute.

Yu Yi returned the salute and said: "Your Excellency's words are wrong, Taiping Dao is a cult, its uprising is just perverse, the court and the people will always crusade against it, and it will be destroyed sooner or later." ”

"After Liu Sheng, King Jing of Xiazhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, surnamed Liu, named Bei, and the word Xuande, listened to Mr. explain today, and suddenly his mouth was opened!"

After Liu Bei heard this, he seemed to understand something, and intended to make friends with Yuyi.

As soon as he heard the other party's name, Yu Yi was secretly surprised, and said that Liu Bei was a big-eared thief, and when he saw it today, it was indeed worthy of his name, and it was said that Liu Bei was not very good at reading; Sexual tolerance, few words, joy and anger are invisible; Known for his great ambitions, he specializes in making friends with the world's heroes.

As for his life experience, although he is a relative of the emperor, but the family is in the middle, his grandfather Liu Xiong, his father Liu Hong was filial piety, he died when he was very young, Liu Bei was an orphan since he was a child, and his mother depended on each other, the family was poor, and he relied on selling and weaving mats for a career.

"I don't dare to take the title of Mr. seriously, just call me Yuyi, I'm from Jiangxia."

Liu Bei has a high opinion of Yu Yi, and of course Yu Yi has to respond modestly.

Then the conversation between the two was sharply interrupted by a person behind him: "The eldest husband does not contribute to the country, why are you sighing here!" ”

Yu Yi glanced back at the man, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, his voice was like a huge thunder, his momentum was like a galloping horse, his skin was dark, and he spoke rudely, who was it not Zhang Fei? Then he asked: "You are Zhang Fei, the word Yide?" ”

Liu Bei saw that this person had an abnormal appearance, and wanted to ask his name, but he was preempted by Yuyi, so he said, "How did Mr. know his name?" ”

Zhang Fei also felt very strange, his eyes stared at Yuyi and did not leave.

Yu Yi smiled and said, "Aren't you the butcher who sells meat in Zhuo County, I have bought things from you before, so I remember you!" ”

I didn't expect that there were still people who knew him, Zhang Feixi smiled, and said: "I just saw you looking at Bang Wen and sighing, I have always liked to make friends with the world's heroes, so I asked." ”

"I see, my name is Liu Bei, and he is Yuyi."

After Liu Bei figured out the situation, he made an introduction.

"I've got some pork business, I have some money on the estate, I can recruit some militia, how about we do something big together?"

Zhang Fei suggested.

"I don't know what you think, sir?"

Liu Bei was naturally very happy after hearing this, but he had just met Yuyi, and he didn't know what he thought, so he asked tentatively.

"Of course, this is good, it is the honor of my generation to be able to contribute to the country."

Yuyi smiled.

So Liu Bei took Yuyi and went to his manor with Zhang Fei to drink in the store.

During the period when the three of them were pushing their backs to repay their debts, they saw a big man, pushing a car, stopping at the door of the store, entering the store and calling the bartender: "Pour the wine quickly, I am still rushing to the city to join the army." ”

Look at his person: nine feet long, two feet long; The face is like a heavy jujube, and the lips are greased; Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, dignified appearance, majestic, not ordinary at first glance.

Yu Yi wanted to call him by his name, but thinking that something was wrong, he suggested to Liu Bei: "Since this person is also going to join the army, why don't we invite him to drink together." ”

Liu Bei nodded, immediately asked for his name, and replied: "My surname is Guan, my name is Yu, the word Changsheng, and later changed to Yunchang, and Hedong Xie Liangren is also." Because of the power and domineering of this place, I killed him in a fit of anger and fled to the rivers and lakes for five or six years. Now I heard that Zhuo County is recruiting soldiers and thieves, and I have come to apply. ”

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, come and I'll toast you!"

When Yuyi saw Guan Yu's appearance, she was very excited in her heart, and she wanted to toast with the other party.

Guan Yu drank the wine in one gulp, and after listening to Liu Bei's ambition, he was very happy, and immediately agreed to go to Zhang Fei's manor together to conspire with him.

Several people drank a lot of wine, a little drunk, Zhang Fei was arrogant for a while, and suggested: "There is a peach orchard behind my manor, and the flowers are in full bloom; Tomorrow we will be in the garden to worship heaven and earth, and the four of us will become brothers, and we will work together, and then we will do great things. ”

Liu Bei and Guan Yu replied in unison: "That's it." Only Yu Yi was silent on the side.

Yu Yi was thinking about what the fortune teller in front of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang said at this time, he calculated his good luck in the north, is it the Taoyuan Three Knots, from a historical point of view, the fate of these three people in the future is very tragic, if they really become brothers, okay?

"Sir has always been ambitious, does he look down on us mountain villagers?"

Liu Bei looked at Yuyi, showing a skeptical attitude.

Yu Yi thought about it, since it was the arrangement of fate, he agreed to settle the matter, but he also had to make a rule, that is, to save them at a critical moment.

"Your Excellency's words are wrong, I just drank a little too much and didn't hear it, and I also agree with the righteous thing!"

Yuyi smiled.

In this way, the atmosphere returned to the past, and the three of them continued to drink, and they did not return home drunk.

On the second day, in Zhang Fei's peach orchard, sacrificial items such as cattle and horses were prepared, and the four of them burned incense and worshiped again, and then swore together: "Reading Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yuyi, although they are different surnames, they are brothers, and when they work together, they will help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month. The emperor and the queen of heaven can learn from this heart, if someone is ungrateful and ungrateful, heaven and man will kill together! ”

After the oath ended, Liu Bei was worshiped as his brother, Guan Yu was second, Zhang Fei was third, and Yuyi was his younger brother, and Liu Bei was twenty-eight years old at this time.
