Chapter 4: Youzhou Taishou

The boy heard an acquaintance shouting, and looked here. After seeing clearly that it was Guan Yu who shouted to him, he hurriedly ran over, "Isn't this Brother Guan?" What is the purpose of this going? ”

Guan Yu looked at his outfit and felt very strange, so he asked: "You and that yellow turban thief have a deep blood feud. Why don't you think about revenge now, but instead help the abuse? ”

The young man sighed, "It's a long story, it's expedient for me to join the Yellow Turban, and I think it's an opportunity to take revenge in the future." Yesterday, this pair was robbed of gold, silver and iron, and was very happy. After coming back, he got the news that Cheng Yuanzhi was about to command 50,000 troops to attack Zhuo County. This made him even more proud, and he got drunk, and let me wait for the opportunity to kill him with a knife! ”

Zhang Fei raised his head and shouted, "Okay, good kill!" ”

When Guan Yu heard him say this, he was also very satisfied, "I don't know what your next step will be." ”

The young man pointed to the north, "I'm going to go to my uncle." ”

Guan Yu hugged his fist at him, "The rivers and lakes are far away, please take care." ”

"Brother Guan, goodbye!"

At this moment in Ping'an Township, Zhang Shuang has gathered more than 20,000 poor people here, and when Cheng Yuanzhi comes, he will raise troops together.

The 50,000 troops mentioned by Cheng Yuanzhi actually include more than 20,000 people here. And under his own hands, there are now less than 30,000 crop men.

After killing Zhang Shuang's men. Guan Yu asked the villagers to gather more than 20,000 poor people.

Although they had already had the idea of an uprising, they heard that it was the royal family who recruited them, so they all rushed over.

When everyone gathered, Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said loudly: "If there is chaos today, the people will not have a good life." First, there was government corruption, successive years of famine, and then a major epidemic. Today, there is a giant deer with its horns open, performing bonfires and fox roars, in order to deceive the people's hearts and incite uprisings under the pretense of the harm of the gods, so that the world is in chaos! Excuse the words of Shun Tian to cover up the fact of accumulating wealth! Pity our people, first they were robbed of the anointment, and then they were knocked out of the bones and marrow! ”

What can the common people know, they just want to live, they have been deceived by the Taiping Dao, and they are all angry in their hearts.

Guan Yu let go of his body and showed Liu Bei.

He first bowed his hand to Liu Bei, and then said: "My eldest brother, surnamed Liu Mingbei Xuande. Although he is white, he is actually the emperor, he is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan. It is only because of the corruption of the government and the loss of the ancestors that they have to sell shoes and weave mats to be able to honor the high hall. ”

After Guan Yu said this, the simple villagers here did not underestimate Liu Bei because of this, but gave birth to a lot of identity.

Guan Yu pulled out Zhang Fei again and said, "If there is chaos today, the yellow scarf is rampant. The three of us, although they have different surnames, are also brothers. In order to work together, just to break the yellow scarf and protect the territory and the people. In the coming days, we will eliminate the traitorous party, serve the country, and save the people. I only hate my three brothers, and I am lonely. Now ask for loyal people to help together! ”

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu bowed to everyone.

Seeing the second brother like this, Zhang Fei also hurriedly bowed.

Liu Bei was told by Guan Yu that he was in his heart, and at this moment he was already in tears and couldn't cry. and these two brothers, and saluted to the multitude.

Hearing Guan Yu say this, more than 20,000 people all asked to follow.

Guan Yu said to everyone: "We are improvised teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and we follow the words of the ancient sages. Father and son are in the army, and father is home. Brothers are in the army, brothers are back. An only son has no brothers, and he is adopted. ”

That's it, and in the end, 3,000 elite soldiers were selected

The three brothers not only took back all the gold, silver, and iron given by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. This time, he gathered 3,000 soldiers and obtained all the gold, silver and jewelry that Zhang Shuang had looted.

Liu Bei was in charge and gave most of the goods to the people who were dismissed and returned home. Only a small part was left as military funds.

Since then, Liu Xuande's benevolent name has gradually spread from the mouths of these villagers.

Due to the large number of people and horses, it was difficult for the three brothers to bring the large number of soldiers and horses back to Zhuangzi in Zhuo County. Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to go in person and invited Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Ping'an Township. A banquet was held to shock them and express their gratitude for their righteous deeds.

In the coming day, after thanking Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, the three brothers purchased armor and weapons.

After the training of the three thousand elites stopped, Liu Bei wanted to lead everyone and go to seek refuge with Liu Yan.

At this time, Guan Yu suggested: "Big brother, someone mentioned Liu Yan before. Although he is a nobleman of the Han family, he has long had a heart of separation. If you bring 300 people to your place, he will see that you will not endanger his position, and he will be able to use you again. If you go with 3,000 men, I am afraid that he will fear that you are endangering his position and will try to frame you. ”

Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu was a person, and understood that he would not be untargeted, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but cry sadly.

"I wanted to serve the country and save the people. I didn't expect to be involved in the whirlpool of their power before I got out of the school, how good is this. ”

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei like this, and said angrily: "Big brother, I'm afraid that he is a bird!" If he has a bad heart, we will kill him with a sword! ”

Guan Yu heard him make a mistake and said: "The third brother is talking nonsense, we are waiting for the uprising to raise troops, originally to serve the country. If you do that thing of killing officials, what is the difference between it and this yellow scarf? ”

Zhang Fei listened to it and said stupidly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but this bird is too guarded and can do everything." ”

Liu Bei listened to the more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, and he couldn't help but shout: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense in the future!" Our brothers are here, and nothing is important. If you are outside, you will be heard by someone with a heart, and you may be killed. ”

At this moment, Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei say this, but he agreed very much, and he said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, third brother is right. Why can't we do this if we are too obedient to what Liu Yan did? ”

Liu Bei heard Guan Yu say this, and he didn't know what he meant for a while.

"Since he Liu Yan wants to cede land and become dominant, why can't we support our own troops? If Liu Yan plotted against these 3,000 elites, the method he used was nothing more than to separate them and reorganize them into the army. We told everyone in advance that this was too much of Liu Yan's mind. When the time comes, if he uses this method, he will make these soldiers resolutely refuse. Could it be that before Liu Yan broke the yellow scarf, he wanted to cause the sergeant to mutiny! ”

"Good! Second brother said it well! Joyfully! What a pleasure! Ha ha! ”

When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu say this, he couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh.

Although Liu Bei felt that what Guan Yu said was reasonable, he was still a little hesitant: "Such an act is really not done by loyal ministers." ”

"Big brother, don't do this woman's kindness. Otherwise, I am afraid that the legacy will be endless! This Youzhou Liu Yan, what he did in private, one by one, what are the actions of loyal ministers? We are loyal to the country's society, but we are not loyal to him too much. ”

Liu Bei heard Guan Yu say this, and he was also very reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei no longer hesitated, so he called Shaoji, who was standing on the side, to go to find his fellow villagers in tandem. Let him privately inform his fellow villagers of Pei San's words before his death, and agreed with each other that he would only follow Liu Xuande.

When everything was ready, the three brothers led three thousand elites to see Zou Jing. When Zou Jing saw this scene, he was really taken aback, and hurriedly introduced the three of them to Taishou Liu Yan.

When Liu Yan heard about it, he hurried to greet the three of them. After the two sides met, Liu Bei first took his two brothers to visit the shrine, and after introducing their names, Liu Bei talked about his family lineage.
