Facts have proved that Liu Bei's choice was correct.

Only by participating in this death game can he truly break through the ceiling of the powerful landlord and enter the real upper echelons of the Han society, and then obtain the current series of power and status.

From fifteen to nineteen years old, four years have passed, and I dare not say the entire Zhuo County, but in Zhuo County, he Liu Xuande is already the No. 1 player.

Even if Gongsun Chan has a disagreement with Liu Bei on practical issues, he will generally not insist on his own opinion, because Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's real disciple, and in terms of the weight of the future future, Liu Bei's weight has obviously surpassed that of Gongsun Zhan.

And Gongsun Chan is also quite ambitious.

He was not willing to just become a big man at the county level, he also wanted to go to Luoyang and dance on a higher stage, so that the people of the Liaodong Gongsun clan who looked down on him at the beginning would be deflated and regretted, and then flattered him in front of him.

He has a strong desire for it.

He's going to get ahead!

He's going to crook his mouth and smile wickedly!

But he himself did not have a way to gain a foothold in Luoyang, and he failed to become Lu Zhi's disciple, so he needed Liu Bei, and he needed Liu Bei very much.

Therefore, after learning about the looting of Su Shuang's horses, he didn't do anything, because Liu Bei said that this matter would be solved by Liu Bei himself.

For this former little brother who has now surpassed himself in actual identity, Gongsun Chan is envious with a hint of jealousy.

But he also knew that he was jealous.

Some things, some choices, to miss is to miss.

If it was himself who stood at the gate of Lu Zhi's Mansion for three months and didn't leave, if it was himself who begged Lu Zhi to go to Jiujiang County together, if he sacrificed his life to save Lu Zhi and almost died because of three arrows in his body......

Maybe everything will be completely different now.

But what's the point of thinking about it now?

Gongsun Chan could only sigh, sighing deeply.

On the second day, Liu Bei finished reorganizing all the teams and went to Cheng Dazhi's village with hundreds of fully armed and loyal young warriors and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ji Jian.

Cheng Dazhi is Liu Bei's old opponent and old friend.

Liu Bei was well-known in Zhuo County when he was not yet promising, and later Liu Bei made a fortune and gradually suppressed Zhuo County, eliminating many disobedient forces, and Cheng Dazhi was also beaten by Liu Bei.

However, Dazhi was not cleaned up, because he took the path of several powerful families in Zhuo County and became a channel for them to operate illegal trade.

Liu Bei took into account the opinions of those families, so he did not do anything to Cheng Dazhi.

But for a long time, Cheng Dazhi was also very polite to Liu Bei, even respectful, and did not dare to harm Liu Bei's interests at all, so Liu Bei couldn't take the initiative to provoke him.

But this time Cheng Dazhi crossed the line, if he didn't know what to do, Liu Bei wouldn't let him go, those local tyrant families in Zhuo County really had an opinion on this, and Liu Bei was not afraid of them.

There are people above me, and there are people above you?

The outcome of the matter was actually not beyond Liu Bei's expectations.

Liu Bei came to Cheng Dazhi's village with hundreds of young men and strong men in full armor, just showing off his muscles so brightly, as long as Cheng Dazhi was not a blind man, he could know Liu Bei's determination.

So Cheng Dazhi accompanied the smiling face, smiled and personally went down the mountain to greet Liu Bei, and invited Liu Bei to the cottage to talk about it.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei with him, and let Guan Yu and Ji Jian lead the armed forces to stay at the foot of the mountain as a deterrent, so he went up the mountain and entered Cheng Dazhi's stockade, and then saw a hundred good horses that were plundered by Cheng Dazhi.

"I didn't know that you actually came forward to do this before, you don't actually have to come forward in person, as long as you send someone to say it, I will naturally return these horses, and I dare not make any mistakes."

Cheng Dazhi was very respectful in front of Liu Bei, and even a little humble, obviously very afraid of this overlord who dominated Zhuo County.

Liu Bei touched the mane of a good horse and glanced at Cheng Dazhi with slanted eyes.

"You tell me honestly, who told you to do this, I think with your caution, you shouldn't do such a thing that is easy to provoke me, three or five horses are enough, a hundred horses in one breath, who can swallow this breath? You're looking for death. ”

Cheng Dazhi's face froze and smiled.

"Actually, when this incident happened, I was not in the village, and the people who stayed in the village were ignorant and did something wrong on their own initiative, and I have already dealt with this matter after I came back."

"How?"

"Bring people in."

Cheng Dazhi gave an order to the people around him, and then a guy who was beaten and bruised and half dead brought him over and threw it in front of Liu Bei.

"Li Damu?"

Liu Bei knows this person, this person is the second-in-command next to Cheng Dazhi, I don't know what his name is, but because of his big eyes, people on Zhuoxian Road call him Li Damu.

Since Cheng Dazhi started doing this, Li Damu has always been by Cheng Dazhi's side and is Cheng Dazhi's indispensable right-hand man.

"Cheng Dazhi, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Liu Bei sneered: "Li Damu, is he ignorant? If he is not sensible, wouldn't all of the more than 100 people in your cottage be idiots? ”

"This thing ......"

Cheng Dazhi pursed his lips and lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again and said with a sneer: "This matter is really not what I want, Li Damu is in charge of his own affairs, I can't keep this person, I will completely leave it to you to dispose of, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Dazhi for a while.

"He's not ignorant, he should be disobedient, Cheng Dazhi, your mind is still sober, so I advise you, don't get too close to the people of Taiping Dao, you may not be able to tell who has a future and who has no future, but I can tell you clearly, Taiping Dao has no future."

Cheng Dazhi raised his head in amazement and stared at Liu Bei in disbelief.

"You ......"

"The idea of the Taiping Daoist is good, and the big man is indeed seriously ill, but Zhang Jiao does not have the ability to be a doctor."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Marching and arranging, fighting with soldiers, communicating up and down, transmitting information, setting up camp, logistics scheduling, talent placement, planning and implementation...... These are very professional and have to be learned, Zhang Jiao has not received such education, let alone such experience.

Specialized things should be handed over to professional people to do, Confucius said a long time ago, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, I don't understand, and there is no professional talent to assist, I only know that a hot head to break forward, but anyone who makes a trip for you, and you can't die are considered lucky. ”

Cheng Dazhi swallowed.

"You know everything?"

"What do I know? I don't know anything, I just know that you're still on the precipice. ”

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Dazhi on the shoulder: "I will take Li Damu away, I can help you suppress this matter, but how to go in the future, Cheng Dazhi, you have to think about it, think seriously, and don't make a decision that you regret."

You and I are the same people, it is not easy to climb up from the bottom, it is not easy to get to today, I know your hardships, you know my hardships, it is precisely because of this that I don't want to watch you so broken, understand? ”
