Since Lu Zhi agreed, Yang Zhao also wanted to see how prosperous Luoyang was in ancient times, so he followed Liu Bei outside.

On the street, after walking briefly for a while, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Yun Chang, Yide, there are some things for my brother, I want to talk to my junior brother, you can go back first." ”

Zhang Fei said first: "We went back, who will protect the eldest brother?" ”

"With Yang Sima here, the eldest brother is very safe."

Guan Yu understood what secret they were going to say, and said, "What's more, in Luoyang City, who dares to mess around?" The third brother should not disturb the eldest brother's business. ”

The two of them left first.

Liu Bei gave Guan Yu an understanding look, took Yang Zhao and continued to walk on the street.

"Senior brother, if there is anything, just ask."

Yang Zhao could see that the other party wanted to talk to him, and he didn't want the two righteous brothers to hear it.

Liu Bei asked directly: "Did the junior brother tell the teacher that he wanted to go to the north, become the head of a county, and guard the border for the Han Dynasty?" ”

This matter was raised by Yang Zhao last night.

Liu Bei can say it, it should be Lu Zhi who told him just now.

"That's right!"

Yang Zhao admitted.

Liu Bei said again: "Can the junior brother tell the teacher to change the request and stay in Luoyang?" ”

"Why?"

Yang Zhao was puzzled.

What does it have to do with going to the border of the Northland by himself and staying in Luoyang and Liu Bei?

It seems to have nothing to do with it!

Liu Bei was embarrassed: "The teacher said just now that the junior brother has made great contributions, but he took the initiative to petition to go to Youzhou to guard the border, and the senior brother Gongsun Zhan is also in Youzhou, guarding the border pass, but I asked to stay in Luoyang, which is not very suitable, and I can lead by example as a senior brother." ”

In this way, Yang Zhao understood everything.

Just now Liu Bei asked the teacher to recommend him as an official, of course, he wanted to stay in Luoyang, here at the feet of the Son of Heaven, opportunities are everywhere, and he is a royal prince, so it is easier to be promoted.

Yang Zhao could still guess that Lu Zhi should have compared Liu Bei with himself, refused his request to stay in Luoyang, and even blamed him.

It is also possible to say that if Liu Bei could let Yang Zhao stay in Luoyang, Lu Zhi would agree to recommend him and become an official in Luoyang.

Liu Bei has been dull for so many years, and finally caught up with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made some credit, it is naturally best to use the credit to stay in Luoyang, but this will seem that he is very eager for quick success, so he doesn't want Guan Zhang to hear it.

"The teacher also said that I am going to recommend my junior brother to be a county magistrate in a certain county in Youzhou, and I, as a senior brother, can be a county lieutenant and assist my junior brother, which can be regarded as experience."

Liu Bei said with a bitter face: "Actually, I don't want to go to the Northland, let alone leave Luoyang, please help me." ”

Yang Zhao remembered that Liu Bei served as a county magistrate after the Yellow Turban, but after being a county magistrate for a short time, he whipped the superintendent and had to run away, and now he can't even get the county order.

"Senior brother's pursuit, I know, but I also have my own pursuit."

Yang Zhao felt that Liu Bei still valued fame and fortune too much, so he was rejected by Lu Zhi, and said: "What I want is to kill the enemy and kill the thief, keep the border peaceful, and calm the world, this idea will not change, please understand me, senior brother." ”

Liu Bei understood as soon as he heard that it was impossible to convince Yang Zhao, so he sighed helplessly: "Senior brother has lofty ambitions, but senior brother is abrupt." ”

Yang Zhao smiled and did not speak again.

The two continued to walk, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"It's the senior brother who is wrong today, and please don't be surprised, so let's do it, the senior brother invites you to drink a meal as an atonement."

Liu Bei was worried that Yang Zhao would talk nonsense in front of the teacher and destroy his tall image, and in the end he couldn't even get the county lieutenant, and wanted to buy people with a meal.

When he passed a restaurant, he took people inside.

Liu Bei also wanted to drink stuffy wine, use wine to kill his sorrows, and vent his unhappiness, why did the teacher not treat him so much, and only paid attention to Yang Zhao alone.

When the wine and food came up, Liu Bei poured a glass for Yang Zhao and apologized: "It was the senior brother's gaffe just now, please don't be surprised." ”

"Senior brother is serious."

Yang Zhao smiled politely and toasted a glass of wine with him, indicating that he would not take it to heart.

Liu Bei said again: "Only we drink, it's so boring, come and find me two beauties back." ”

Yang Zhao: "......"

The first emperor started a business before half and jumped in the middle of the road!

Or the senior brother will play.

Liu Bei got some reward, the money bag was full, and he wanted to be luxurious for a while, as long as he had money, the people in this restaurant could meet everything, and immediately brought two beauties over for him.

"I don't need it, senior brother can enjoy it."

Yang Zhao didn't have much interest in these.

Liu Bei was not polite to him, hugged left and right, didn't know how happy he was, and the depression just now was instantly left behind.

"Mingguang!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came.

Yang Zhao looked for the sound, and saw that Cao Cao happened to be here, followed by a handsome man, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Meng De!" ”

Liu Bei also recognized Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Cao Duwei is also here, just drinking together!" ”

He was already a little drunk, and he was smiling all over his face at the moment.

Cao Cao ignored him and introduced: "Originally, this is the Yang Mingguang I mentioned, guarding Yecheng, saving King Ganling, breaking the yellow scarf, with very high credit, and he is still a new student of Lu Zhonglang. ”

Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu!

Hearing Cao Cao's introduction, Yang Zhao's gaze fell on Yuan Shao again.

"As for the drunk one, he is also Lu Zhonglang's student, Liu Bei Liu Xuande!"

Cao Cao continued.

Yuan Shao said arrogantly: "You are Yang Zhao? Okay, it's an acquaintance, let's go! ”

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, even if Yang Zhao's merits are monstrous, Yuan Shao will not put a grassroots root in his eyes, and after saying it lightly, he turned around and walked to the second floor of the restaurant.

Cao Cao gave an apologetic look and then left.

Yang Zhao's attitude towards Yuan Shao was treated as if it did not exist, but it also confirmed what Lu Zhi said, it is difficult for the grassroots to gain a foothold in front of the powerful in Luoyang.

Leaving Luoyang temporarily is the most correct choice.

Unconsciously, Liu Bei was drinking with a beautiful woman and was also drunk.

Yang Zhao was too lazy to take care of him, so he directly asked the two beauties to open a room here, continue to jump, and then go back to Lu Zhi's house.

"Mingguang, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhi was waiting in the hall.

As for what Liu Bei would say to Yang Zhao, he expected it.

Yang Zhao said: "The student will not agree to the senior brother. ”

"Not bad!"

Lu Zhi smiled with satisfaction.

The next day.

Lu Zhi finally received an edict to let him enter the palace and be rewarded for his meritorious service to the Yellow Turban.

It has been several days since they defeated the Yellow Turbans and returned to Luoyang.

Liu Hong has only summoned Lu Zhi now, and you can imagine how wasted government affairs are.

Lu Zhi's merits are not low, and Zuo Feng said a few good words on the side, he went to the palace once, was directly promoted, and was appointed as the general of Beizhong Lang before Shangshu, and now he is promoted to the imperial servant.

One of the Nine Qings!

Lu Zhi is in a good mood!

Time was fast, and a few more days passed.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also returned to Luoyang in triumph and announced that they had officially pacified the Yellow Turban traitors, so they discussed with several bigwigs and prepared to hold a celebration banquet, probably eating and drinking together, by the way, how to attack the Yellow Turban and other things at that time.

Of course, Lu Zhi went to participate, and brought Yang Zhao with him.

The place where the celebration banquet is located is the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang City.
