Chapter 26: Liu, Guan, and Zhang (2)
At this time, let's not talk about the truth or falsehood of Liu Bei Zhongshan Jingwang, even if it is true, it is just a false name.
However, the times created heroes, the Yellow Turban Thieves rebelled and appeared, Liu Bei's previous efforts were not in vain, and he successfully seized this opportunity.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei's name as a member of the Han family is also valued.
It's not so much about valuing it, but about seeing the huge benefits in it.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhongshan businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang came to Zhuo County with thousands of gold and horses, because the business was naturally not good because of the Yellow Turban thieves, and they also heard about Liu Bei.
The story of Lü Buwei's "strange goods can live" in the Qin Dynasty is a model worth learning from all businessmen.
The businessman pursued profits, and immediately saw the business opportunities on Liu Bei.
It is not easy to do business during the war, if Liu Bei really has a future, it is also a good thing for them, fortunately, Liu Bei was funded.
Liu Bei made a fortune because of this and got the second "angel financing", and Gongsun Zhan, who had expanded his contacts before, also achieved the effect that Liu Bei expected.
However, human affection is mutual.
The investment of businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang is a drop in the bucket for them, and now that Liu Bei has some soldiers and horses, he will naturally vote for Li Baotao.
But Gongsun Chan is in trouble here.
Liu Bei's mood at this time was a little complicated, and it took him several years to climb from a civilian to the position of Pingyuan Xiangguo.
After several years of fighting horses, Liu Bei is also constantly improving himself, and he naturally sees the importance of 'Pingyuan County'.
Now that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are attacking and killing each other, and they are in Pingyuan County, if Gongsun Chan orders him to send troops to Jizhou, how can it be good?
If Liu Bei is asked to fight with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei must be a little reluctant in his heart, after all, it is Yuan Shao.
The Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.
The protégés and former officials are all over the world.
Yuan Shao replaced Han Fu and became the speaker of Jizhou.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of armor.
Liu Bei naturally didn't want to be this cannon fodder to fight with Yuan Shao.
If I have such a family, I must do better than Yuan Shao!
Liu Bei couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
Now the top priority is to find a way to stay away from this whirlpool, although Gongsun Chan is kind to himself, but ......
For the sake of his ambitions, Brother Gongsun is really embarrassed.
"Ugh."
Liu Bei sighed, it's difficult.
He couldn't help but say in his heart, "If the husband is like this, how can it be so easy."
"Why is the eldest brother sighing?"
At this time, Liu Bei's first handsome man dressed in a dark robe, more than eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and a beard under his chin, asked.
"The third brother doesn't know, and now he is a brother and this plain county order is like sitting on pins and needles!"
After that, Liu Bei sighed again, sighed heavily, his eyes were slightly red, and his face was tangled.
The transition between Liu Bei's demeanor is not shown for the time being.
What's more important is that this handsome guy who looks handsome and powerful is Liu Bei's third brother, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!
If Dong Xun is here, he will be dumbfounded!
You must know that the rumored Zhang Fei is a rough man with a big head and three thick, a leopard head and eyes, and eyes like copper bells.
How can there be a Confucian general style now?
If Zhang Fei is a rough man, it is really a misunderstanding of him.
You must know that Zhang Fei is a big family in Zhuo County!
They have their own estates, they have their own good land, and they have their own slaves.
Zhang Fei's family can be called a wealthy family in Zhuo County, and the formation of a wealthy family cannot be formed overnight, it must be accumulated through several generations of operation.
When people are rich, they will naturally want to improve their lives, Zhang Fei is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has the courage of ten thousand people.
Zhang Fei is also good at calligraphy and painting, not only writing a good hand, but also painting a good hand.
He is especially good at drawing beautiful women.
As a wealthy family in Zhuo County, Zhang Fei had long noticed Liu Bei, a down-and-out Han clansman.
When he was in the age of peace, Zhang Fei naturally looked down on Liu Bei, a down-and-out royal family.
It was still the Yellow Turban Rebellion that appeared, and Zhang Fei, a child of a wealthy family, thought about it.
Because although the Zhang family is a local wealthy family, it is not a big family.
The biggest difference between local wealthy families and families is whether there is someone in the court who is an official, and where the official residence is the most important.
But if you want to be an official, it is not so easy, let alone a high-ranking official.
Because of the Han Dynasty's inspection system, most of the official positions have been occupied by the family.
It is very difficult for Zhang Fei to get a recommendation.
Because the so-called wealthy families in the world, in the eyes of real scholars, were either businessmen or "underworld" nature.
Some people are not even considered "good families", and no one is willing to take this risk to recommend.
Those who have a good reputation for big officials such as Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, Zhang Fei wants to climb but can't.
And the recommendation of small officials, Zhang Fei may not be able to look down on it.
To put it simply, this is a hierarchical society.
The most famous Cui Lie, who was born in a family, spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a Taiwei when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official beard.
This kind of thing was not only despised by the scholars, but even his own son blamed him.
Zhang Fei took advantage of the Yellow Turban Thief's chaos and found Liu Bei.
One has that bit of money.
One has a little bit of identity.
And they all have their own ambitions, or utilitarian hearts.
It's like-minded, and the smell is the same.
The icing on the cake is far worse than sending charcoal in the snow, so Zhang Fei thought about helping him with his family resources.
Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's first partner in "angel investment".
At the same time, Liu Bei is very good at being a person, and knowing that Zhang Fei can take a fancy to him is also an opportunity, because whether it is sincere or false.
The two of them had a good time together.
Speaking of which, I have to say that Liu Bei is indeed a character, just by virtue of the identity of a down-and-out royal family and an extremely thick skin, he has expanded his circle.
really has the shameless energy of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
Just with this cheekiness and shamelessness, some people believe that you say that he is a descendant of Liu Bang.
Liu Bei listened to Zhang Fei's inquiry, and said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Bogui treats me like a brother, and now he is competing with Yuan Shao, and he only hates to be a brother and a major general, and he can't help each other." ”
Zhang Fei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Gongsun Zhan has indeed helped the eldest brother a lot, and now he has no news, I just need to guard this plain county." ”
Liu Bei sighed again, "Now that the people are displaced, the powerful ministers are in charge, and people from all walks of life are fighting each other, when will the world of the Han family be restored to peace." ”
At this time, another burly man in the hall comforted: "Brother, don't worry, I've been running around for a long time, but it's already good compared to the beginning." ”
"Now that the people of Pingyuan County are living in peace under the rule of the eldest brother, it is already the credit of the eldest brother, which is better than some people in high positions and vegetarian meals."
Zhang Fei asked, and said in a loud voice: "What the second brother said is very true. ”
Zhang Fei's face showed indignation, "Especially Dong Zhuo's house, burning Luoyang City, disrupting the government and harming the country, is simply the most evil!" ”
