In a carriage in Jingzhou City, a young man with dark skin and barely able to see his facial features clearly was accompanied by a little boy who looked like a pink carving.

"Childe, it's time to get there. Do you think it's small to call the door? ”

The dark-skinned man lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down and said, "You go and call the door first, and I'll go over." ”

The little guy stepped forward to call the door, but a guard stopped him: "What are you doing?" Is this also where you can come? ”

The little guy took out a few big coins from his body and stuffed them into his hand outside the door: "Big brother, I'm tired of informing me, my son-in-law wants to see Uncle Liu Huang." ”

The guard weighed the big money in his hand, the expression on his face looked a lot better, he glanced at the black-faced man not far away, and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, my father-in-law is the most virtuous corporal, but your son-in-law has come to seek refuge in my father-in-law?" ”

The little guy smiled and said, "Naturally." My son-in-law heard that Uncle Liu Huang has been famous for benevolence and righteousness for a long time, so he came to work for Uncle Liu Huang. ”

The guard smiled and nodded, and said, "You wait here, I'll go in and report." ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "There is Brother Lao." ”

The guard went in for a while and then came out, and when he came out, he brought with him a white-clothed scribe, whose face was like a crown of jade, and he was dressed in a crane, and he had the demeanor of a fairy.

The scribe came out and saw the black-faced man waiting quietly at the door, and smiled, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time." Under the command of Uncle Liu Huang, the military advisor Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming. I don't know what you call you? ”

The black-faced man let go of the little boy in his hand, and also bowed his hand to Zhuge Liang: "In Xia Guo Nian, the word Fengjun, is a member of the Guo clan in Yingchuan, and he has come to take refuge in Uncle Liu Huang to serve Uncle Liu Huang, and he also asked the military advisor to introduce him on his behalf." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with doubts, and he said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be a member of the Guo clan, and he was disrespectful." Bong, please, let's go in and talk. ”

Guo Nian smiled, pulled the little boy in his hand and followed Zhuge Liang into Uncle Liu's mansion, and the little guy brought by Guo Nian also followed Guo Nian and walked in.

Zhuge Liang asked with a smile as he walked: "Dare to ask Fengjun, but he is the clansman of that ghost genius Guo Jia?" ”

Guo Nian nodded and said lightly: "Not bad." ”

"Oh?" A flash of surprise flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes: "Then why didn't Mr. Fengjun go to Cao Ying, but took refuge in Uncle Liu Huang?" ”

Guo Nian sneered: "The clan brother was killed by Cao Ying's people, and I naturally came here to avenge the clan brother." ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said: "Watching the stars at night, I saw that Cao Ying had a brain tank falling, and I didn't want it to be Guo Jia." ”

Guo Nian turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said lightly: "Zhuge can also watch the stars, he is really capable." ”

The two talked about walking and arrived at the hall where they were entertaining, and Liu Bei had already been reported by someone, saying that someone had come to vote. At this time, Liu Bei didn't even have a place to settle down, so he could only temporarily live under Liu Biao and guard Liu Biao's house in Xinye. There are no people willing to vote for him at all, Zhuge Liang is still invited by him to look at the thatched house. Suddenly, someone took the initiative to vote, and they came out in a very good mood.

It's just that he didn't expect to see a dark-skinned young scribe after he came out, and the dark-skinned ones could barely see his facial features, if he hadn't heard that the other party claimed to be from the Guo family, he would have suspected that the other party was a barbarian.

The ancients looked at people, and appearance was also a very important part, Liu Bei saw that Guo Nianchang was really unbearable, his impression was a little worse, and his joy was reduced a little, and he reluctantly put on a smiling face and made a polite corporal look: "Mr. came from afar, and he was prepared to miss the distance." ”

Guo Nian bowed expressionlessly and made a gesture: "Guo Nian has seen Uncle Liu Huang." ”

Liu Bei smiled and helped Guo Nian up: "Mr. doesn't have to be polite, Mr. is willing to come to help Bei, it's really an honor to be prepared." ”

Guo Nian lowered his head and said: "The name of the emperor's uncle benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world, which makes people respect. Coming down to assist the emperor's uncle and revive the Han Dynasty is a move that is in response to the heavens. ”

Liu Bei listened to Guo Nian's words and was very comfortable with his appetite, and he was very comfortable with himself. When he looked at Guo Nian again, the smile on his face was a little more sincere: "Mr. is new here, why don't you be in the military advisor's office and be a strategist together?" ”

Guo Nian bowed again: "Everything is arranged by Uncle Huang, but there is a reluctant request below, and I also ask Uncle Huang and the military advisor to allow it." ”

Liu Bei was a little displeased when he heard Guo Nian make a request as soon as he came, but he still said with a pleasant face: "What do you ask for Mr.?" ”

Guo Nian raised his head, and his eyes were bottomless: "Before I came, I heard from the people in Cao Yingzhong that Cao Cao would send the general Cao Ren to fight Xinye soon." This Cao Ren killed my brother Guo Jia, I hope that the imperial uncle and the military advisor can hand over this battle to me to command, let me sword Cao Ren, and avenge my brother! ”

"What? Cao Ren is coming to fight Xinye? This ......" Liu Bei's eyes were flustered, and he looked at Zhuge Liang on the side in horror.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and comforted: "Don't worry, the lord is there, and Xinye will be protected." ”

Liu Bei felt a little relieved when he got Zhuge Liang's words, and said to Guo Nian: "Cao's army is strong, Mr. is still young, Mr. is afraid that it is inappropriate for Mr. to be in charge of the army, how about Mr. and the military advisor to take charge of the army together?" ”

Guo Nian saluted Liu Bei and said, "I once swore in front of my brother's grave that I would slash the enemy." This feud really does not want to fake hands on others, this battle Guo Nian is willing to issue a military order, if the battle is defeated, please also ask the emperor to take Guo Nianxiang's head. If the emperor is really not at ease, he can ask the military advisor to be the supervisor of the army, and if he feels that there is something wrong with Guo Nian leading the troops, the military advisor can seize the military power of Nian. After a pause, he said: "If Uncle Huang fulfills Guo Nian, Guo Nian will die for Uncle Huang in this life!" ”

Liu Bei was still a little hesitant, but after hearing the last sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, he saw that this person was full of confidence, and it was likely that he was a talented person. And he is now in urgent need of talents, anyway, there is a military advisor watching, and there will be no big incident, let him slash the enemy, for such a talent, this deal is worth doing.

Liu Bei smiled and helped Guo Nian up and said: "Why is Fengjun so polite, since Fengjun has come to Xinye, he will be Beizhi's family from now on." Since the gentleman wants to slash the enemy, then he is ready to give the right to the army to the gentleman. It's just that Mr. Beiguan is young, and he is afraid that Mr. will have something negligent and hurt Mr., so he will let the military advisor follow Mr., and there will be someone to discuss in case of trouble. ”

Guo Nian saluted again and said, "Thank you to the lord." ”

When Liu Bei heard Guo Nian call himself his lord, he was overjoyed and accepted Guo Nian's salute.

Liu Bei asked his subordinates to arrange a place for Guo Nian to live and then left to deal with military affairs, leaving Zhuge Liang to greet the newcomer Guo Nian. Guo Nian saluted Zhuge Liang and said: "This is the first battle after the military advisor voted for the lord, and it was originally the time for the military advisor to make meritorious contributions and show his talents, but Nian snatched the opportunity of the military advisor. Please also ask the military advisor not to worry about Nian for the sake of the blood feud. ”
