Guan Yu and Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words, and their hearts were a little heavy.

Over the years, everyone has been displaced, starting from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it has been seven or eight years.

Although it is also a little famous now, people are more popular than people.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei couldn't help but think of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was convicted of being unfavorable in battle when he exterminated the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then he was able to reduce the punishment by bribing the eunuchs.

is even more fortunate to meet the Spirit Emperor again.

Whether it is a familiar way to deal with crises in the officialdom, and his own luck is first-class.

Now it has been mixed into the position of Xiangguo.

And think about yourself and others, even if you have merits in the battle against the Yellow Turban Thief.

But there was no one in the imperial court, and in the end he only got a small official "Anxi County Lieutenant".

It's just that later the imperial court ordered that if anyone became an official because of military merits, they would be selected and eliminated, and the county governor would dismiss Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei heard the news that he was also among the layoffs, he had a plan, pretended to be angry and whipped the superintendent, and then resigned.

And most people don't know that Liu Bei was among the layoffs at the beginning, and although he lost his official position, he was not dismissed, but took the initiative himself.

One is active and the other is passive, and the gap between the two can be said to be worlds apart.

Being passively laid off means that one's own ability is not good.

Once it spreads out, others don't care what reason you were laid off, and in the impression of others, it will directly become a line of work, and it will not work.

After that, Liu Bei had the experience of being promoted several times due to the suppression of bandits, but he resigned not long after he became an official, until he was listed as Sima of another department by Gongsun Zhan, and mixed with the current plain phase.

After such an operation, Liu Bei not only did not suffer because of his resignation, but his prestige increased greatly.

In the mouth of the people, he is a good official who loves the people like a son, and his reputation has also spread after moving to many places.

No way, it's that magical.

Of course, this is only for those who are truly capable.

Because of the really capable celebrities, even after resigning, there will still be people rushing to recommend, and Liu Bei has no one to recommend, so he can only rely on his own efforts.

It can be said that the famous people of the Han Dynasty are all masters of pretending.

If you don't agree, you may resign, but you can always settle elsewhere.

The so-called "there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep the master" is nothing more than that.

But most of the people who can act like this are really awesome.

An existence like Liu Bei, if he pretends to be not mellow enough, it is easy to shoot himself in the foot.

Fortunately, everything is going for the better.

Liu Bei's reputation is getting better and better, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits he brings are naturally more and more.

Judging from the whipping of the post superintendent, Liu Bei has grown a lot and has begun to adapt to the laws and routines in officialdom.

Sometimes the momentary gains and losses are not important, but the future development.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei made up his mind and had the intention of leaving "Pingyuan County" in advance to find another way.

It's just that the next family hasn't been found yet, which is the reason why Liu Bei really has scruples.

And the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves were originally the best choice for everyone to be promoted and make a fortune, but now it has passed the point where you can be promoted with just one vote.

The situation in the entire Han Dynasty became a food chain of "big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp".

Liu Bei should have belonged to the first batch of "small fish" that evolved into "big fish", but in the end, because there was no one on it, he was still at the bottom of the food chain.

He is a "little fish" who struggles to make a living, but fortunately he is temporarily out of the ranks of "shrimp".

If this "small fish" wants to grow up, in the case of insufficient "shrimp", the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, Liu Bei can only continue to "Gou" to accumulate strength in Pingyuan County for the time being, and make better plans for the future.

is different from Liu Bei is Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo was convicted, he knew that the eunuch was powerful, and he immediately thought of bribing the eunuch, so he decisively chose this optimal plan.

This is also because Dong Zhuo's reputation at the border in the early stage can be known to others, and a minion like Liu Bei can't find a way even if he wants to bribe others.

Dong Zhuo's officialdom's routines are sloppy, but they also leave a stain on his reputation.

However, "the lesser of two evils." ”

For reputation, being able to clear one's name and save one's life is of course the most important thing.

After the Qiang people on the border rebelled, the emperor immediately thought of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo.

This is the bargaining chip that Dong Zhuo has brought to the border for many years, a general who understands the Hu people on the border and has combat experience with the Hu people is always much stronger than other inexperienced generals.

Later, the imperial court was worried that Dong Zhuo's tail would not be lost, so he appointed Dong Zhuo as the assassin of the state, and let Huangfu Song command Dong Zhuo's army, and wanted Dong Zhuo to separate from the army led by him.

But Dong Zhuo had already realized the importance of military power, and directly wrote that the soldiers had a deep relationship with him and were reluctant to leave him.

Until the end, Dong Zhuo still commanded thousands of his descendants.

After having the descendants of the soldiers and horses, there was the capital to wait and see the turbulence in Luoyang City, and there was a series of things such as the follow-up "Beibei Rescue" and the entry into Luoyang.

Everything seems to be coincidental, but there is this inevitable connection in it.

Dong Zhuo was mixed in the side plug when he was young, which was his bargaining chip.

Then he led the troops with extremely strong combat ability, and it was his bargaining chip.

Therefore, although he overturned once, he was able to turn the tables again with his previous chips, which is what makes him special.

Compared with Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei is particularly immature, but this is also a matter of no choice, after all, personal experience is different, and when making a choice, it will be different.

However, compared with before, Liu Bei is now becoming more and more sophisticated, and he is becoming more and more proficient in the "Thick Black Learning".

Only then did Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao realize that something was wrong when they attacked each other.

Compared with the friendship between Gongsun Zhan, his future is of course more important.

No.

Not a future.

It's ambition.

Men, if their ambition is money and beauty, it is extremely vulgar.

The correct way to say it is, of course, career and love.

In order to realize his ambition to revive the Han dynasty, Liu Bei now naturally knows how to choose.

And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally looked forward to Liu Bei, no matter what the reason was for gathering together.

Their gang can't be dispersed, after all, Liu Bei and the two are already firmly tied together.

Neither Zhang Fei nor Guan Yu was willing to let their reputations be stained.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion, after all, everyone has been fighting side by side for so long.

Liu Bei was very successful in turning the two "colleagues" into "brothers".

Just when Liu, Guan, and Zhang were worried about the future, Dong Zhuo was now in a very happy mood.

Because after he gave the order, the tea he wanted already had a rough appearance.
