"I always feel like I've seen this kid somewhere." Zhang Fei's unintentional words made Liu Bei's heart tighten, and even Guan Yu, who had never cared about other things, looked at him.

But the portrait thing, after all, is a little distorted, the painter's skills are already superb, painting seven or eight points of charm, only two years have not seen, at the beginning of a hurried glance, Zhang Fei really can't remember.

"Think about it again, but you saw this person when you were in Pengcheng?" Liu Bei asked this for no reason, because when he was in Xuchang, Guan Yu kept muttering when he heard Lin Mo's name as if he was a little impressed, and now that Zhang Fei mentioned it again, it would inevitably make him a little suspicious.

As soon as it came to Pengcheng, Zhang Fei's dusty memory was like blowing away the fog in an instant, and he suddenly remembered the past, stared at him in surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, it's in Pengcheng, this kid still wanted to"

Then, he didn't dare to continue, biting his nails, his black face turned red, and he looked at Liu Bei timidly.

If you tell your eldest brother about this, he shouldn't be particularly angry, right?

"What else do you want?" After getting a definite answer, Liu Bei slowly stood up and looked at Zhang Fei seriously with a look of anticipation.

"He he he, he thinks, he thinks"

"Go on, third brother, what's wrong?" Guan Yu was a little impatient, and hated the broken dog the most.

"He wants to run to you"

Zhang Fei lowered his head, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, it was the first time in so many years that he had twisted into this picture.

Seeing that the two brothers were petrified and stunned when they heard his words, Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "Big brother, this kid was guarding the gate of Pengcheng Mansion at the beginning, and I heard the guard say that one guard is a day, and I suspected that he had evil intentions, so he was blown away as an assassin."

My stupid brother, do you know what you've done?

Liu Bei heard that his heart was shattered, and the impregnable line of defense was crumbling inch by inch, very clearly, very clearly, so clear that his eyes were blurred.

Lin Mo actually came to vote for me?

It's in Xuzhou, it's in Pengcheng.

The world-shattering genius stayed at the door of the government all day in order to see me, just to assist me.

However, he was rejected by his third brother as an assassin.

Oh my God, it turns out that it is not that I have not received the favor of heaven, but that I have not been able to keep the gift of heaven.

Starting from the Taoyuan uprising, Zhuojun beheaded the Yellow Turban, suppressed Zhang Chun's rebellion, whipped the post governor and lost his office, and even later mistrusted Lu Bu, these things have brought him a lot of spiritual impact.

But he never just told himself that all this was a test given by God, and that the heavens would descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones and suffer their minds, so he would only take this as a warning, but he did not regret anything.

And this time, it was the first time, the only time, he hoped that the two years were a dream, and when he opened his eyes, he was in Pengcheng, he walked out of the door and saw Lin Mo waiting in front of him under the sunset, and stepped forward and said: "In the lower Lin Mo, I am willing to help Liu Yuanjun Kuang help the Han room." ”

Since then, he can behead Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, defeat Cao Cao, step on the land of two states, hold 100,000 heavy soldiers, and wait for the right time, he strategizes in the army, and the front is like breaking through Xuchang, welcoming the Son of Heaven, and recovering the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity.

None of this is possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei only felt that his back bones were pulled away, and he instantly sat down with a weak click.

"I should have slaughtered this kid in the first place, and there would be no such things as follows!" Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei's appearance, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he subconsciously blurted out what he thought.

Guan Yu hurriedly glared, "Third brother! Hugh is talking too much! ”

You're pouring salt into your brother's wounds.

Not to mention Liu Bei, even Guan Yu felt that this fact was a pity, and at the same time he was extremely self-blaming, no wonder he felt that this name was familiar at the beginning, Zhang Fei obviously told himself about this matter, if he had one more heart to find Lin Mo back, it would not be like this.

It's no wonder they think so, Cao Cao, who was in full swing at the beginning, was also angry when he learned that Lin Mo wanted to defect but was cut off by Lu Bu, not to mention Liu Bei, who is now sitting in Xinye?

His heart was dripping blood, and he didn't understand why it was so coincidental, Yunwen, you have been waiting for me for a day, why did you go to meet the third brother instead of talking to me directly.

There is nothing more painful in the world than this.

Xuzhou was stolen, and he was uncomfortable; Peicheng was deceived by Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes go, and he was uncomfortable; An Feng was defeated, and he was also uncomfortable.

But these pains combined, less than one-ten-thousandth of the loss of Lin Mo.

Because he knows very well that what he has lost is not Lin Yunwen, but half of the country.

Everything Lu Bu has now should belong to him Liu Bei, how can this not make people feel sad, especially for a desperate imperial uncle.

Tears fell silently, Liu Bei had cried a lot, but what really made him depressed in his heart, except for Anfeng Guan Yu who was lost, only this time he really felt helpless.

"Big brother, I was wrong, you punish me!" Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Zhang Fei was also distressed, and knelt down in front of Liu Bei with a puff.

It's come to this, it's futile to hate, you can't really kill your stupid brother.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked up to Zhang Fei, helped him up, and choked up: "The third brother should take this as a lesson from now on, and never be reckless and snub to those who come to vote." ”

"Big brother." Zhang Fei also had tears in his eyes, he didn't realize that it was a big deal to lose Lin Mo, but he just felt that what he did made Liu Bei sad.

"It's just that I'm Liu Bei Fubo, so I don't have to come here as a genius." Liu Bei slapped Zhang Fei's hand, and he also needed to appease him in turn, and there was no one to confide in his heart.

After Zhang Fei's mood was stable, Liu Bei asked the two to retreat, saying that they wanted to rest.

How can he sleep with such a turbulent mood, after Guan Zhang retreated, he looked at the portrait in front of the desk, and his tears could not be held back again.

How many young people with a haunting aura have missed out like this, this will probably be the biggest difficulty in this life.

Jizhou, Ye County.

The mansion of the Yuan family mansion is a magnificent mansion, and even Cao Cao sighed after winning the northern kingdom in Guandu, this is even more gorgeous than the palace, no wonder the world's scholars are willing to defect to him.

"At the beginning, this black mountain thief was expelled by Cao Cao, I thought about saving his life, who knew that he would take revenge, and now the Ministry will take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill me, if it weren't for the subordinates fighting with their lives, the last general would have died in Hanoi!"

In Yuan's mansion, the northern man with a dark complexion, a short beard, and a resolute face cried with tears in his eyes.

The black mountain thief in his mouth is the general Zhenggu, who was defeated by Cao Cao when he attacked Dongjun in connection with Yuan Shu, and it was he who stretched out a rescue hand to save his life.

Who knew that half a month ago, Zheng Gu heard that he intended to go north to defect, but he launched a mutiny among his generals, and after a bloody battle, Zhang Yang fled to Yecheng with only more than 800 people.

As for Zheng Gu, he now occupies Hanoi, replacing Zhang Yang, and taking the position of Hanoi Taishou himself.

"Uncle Zhi, I heard that you have an old relationship with Lu Bu, and you have helped several times before, why didn't you vote for him when you were defeated, but came to vote for me?" Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, asked casually, but his eyes were carefully observing the subtle changes in the other party's expression.

"Yuan Gong sits on the belt of four states and has 500,000 people, and people of insight in the world do not know where this world belongs, and they are stupid and know what is the destiny of heaven, and please accept it!" Zhang Yang is buried in his head, and his feelings are sincere.

In fact, Yuan Shao has been very smooth over the years, so smooth that he got a little carried away, but he was not gullible because of a few words, in fact, he began to investigate when he received the defection letter.

Generally speaking, the flamboyant defection should be true.

First of all, Hanoi was the land of four wars, there were Xiongnu in the north, thieves in the west, and Cao Cao locked in the southeast and southeast, so he had no place to go.

Secondly, Zhang Yang did offend Cao Cao several times in the past few years, and he also wrote articles in Dongjun, so the probability of defecting to him is not large.

There is another point, Zheng Gu was born as a black mountain thief, and he can do everything, where will a mountain bandit talk about what kind of affection.

On the whole, there is really nothing wrong with Zhang Yang's actions.

Coupled with the sentence of destiny, it can be regarded as saying that Yuan Shao's heart is in the heart, and suddenly the balance in his heart is also tilted a little towards him.

"Okay, Uncle Zhi, it's right for you to vote for me. After I break Cao and Lu, I will help you return to Hanoi, and the position of Taishou is still yours! ”

Yuan Shao pointed his fingers and raised his forehead, "You go down to rest first, and you will rely on your courage to break the enemy in the future." ”

"Thank you Yuan Gong for your kindness!" Zhang Yang bowed and took a few steps back before turning to leave.

After he left, only the three fathers and sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Tan, who had just returned from Qingzhou, were left in the hall.

Yuan Tan came back in the name of supervising the grain and grass, and said to Yuan Shao that he missed his father.

In fact, he came back this time for publicity.

A few days ago, after receiving Zhang Yang's letter, he discussed with the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi to win over Zhang Yang.

There are two reasons, the first person who has been a taishou, whether it is connections or influence, is very important, and it is of great significance to bring him under his command to improve his power in the future.

The second is that he is sitting in Qingzhou, and it is likely that he will have a head-on conflict with Lu Bu next.

It's not that he doesn't know the relationship between Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, but there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, Zhang Yang has a lot of friendship with everyone under Lu Bu.

In the future, once the two armies face each other, there will be an opportunity to use Zhang Yang to make some fuss, lobbying or persuading them to surrender.

It's a double-edged sword, he knows it, but he's confident he can use it.

Yuan Tan's thoughts can't be said wrong, he is completely different from Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, he really has military merits on his body, and today's Qingzhou was taken away from Kong Rong by him with his troops.

Because of this, among the three sons, he has the highest prestige in the army.

Of course, there is another reason, a reason that is not explained, he knows that Yuan Shang's favor is getting stronger day by day, and he feels threatened by his eldest son.

What to do? Military merit! He will defend his throne with unshakable military exploits, and will never allow the abolition of the elder and the youngest in the northern country.

As long as he can successfully take Xuzhou and defeat Lu Bu head-on, even if Yuan Shao is biased, he may respond to every call and become a jealousy that he has to worry about.

"Do you want to bring Zhang Yang to Qingzhou?"

Yuan Shaomo held his short beard, his brows tightened, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lu Bu's subordinates have a long history with Zhang Yang, and using him to shake the minds of Lu Ying's soldiers is indeed a clever move, but there is one thing you need to keep in mind, be careful to beware of Zhang Yang, and you must not be used by him." ”

The meaning of Yuan Shao's words was already obvious, although he felt that there was no problem with Zhang Yang coming to the surface, but he still had to beware of the possibility of the other party's fraudulent surrender.

Yuan Tan obviously came prepared, and said: "Father, don't worry, he is only allowed to lead a few entourages when he goes to Qingzhou, and the rest of the hundreds are decided by my father!" ”

He clearly knew how Yuan Shu was defeated, it was because of the hundreds of people brought by Lu Su, it was precisely these hundreds of people who were disguised by the trapping camp and became the sharp knife that broke through Shouchun's defense.

With only a few followers, no matter how much trouble you make, it's limited.

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and without waiting for him to praise Tan Er's prudence, worthy of Wu'er, Yuan Tan continued: "Even when you arrive at the Qingzhou military camp, the child will also send someone to keep an eye on it, and you have to find out who you see, what you say, and what you bring."

Of course, all this will only be done in secret, and on the surface, I will give him the utmost respect. ”

"Good!"

This time, Yuan Shao applauded loudly, Yuan Tan deserves to have made military exploits on the battlefield, he thought of everything he thought of, and he also made additions to what he didn't expect, in this case, there should indeed be no big problems.

"Tan'er, you have grown a lot in Qingzhou alone in the past few years, and I am glad for my father."

Yuan Shao did not hesitate to praise his words, and also looked at Yuan Shang and taught earnestly: "Shang'er, you have to learn more with your eldest brother." ”

"Remember the child!" Yuan Shang smiled on his lips and MMP in his heart.

"Father, the child has one more mouth."

Yuan Tan didn't forget to turn around and look outside the hall to make sure that no one had walked in, so he took two steps forward and whispered: "May I ask if my father is preparing to let the child contain Lu Bu, and my father will personally lead the army to exterminate Cao Cao, or will he send troops on two fronts and swallow the Central Plains?" ”

This question seems to be a tactical and strategic choice, but for Yuan Tan, it is related to the military merits that he values most, and it also determines how much autonomy he has, and even how many soldiers and horses he can raise.

Yuan Shao held his cheeks, and he was a little hesitant for a while, obviously he had been thinking about this issue for a while.

"That's Tan'er, you can stay for a few days first, and then discuss the army after your father, and then make arrangements after listening to the opinions of all parties."

"Whoa!"

If you want to think about it, of course he wants to send troops together, but at the same time, he also knows that no matter whether it is Cao Cao or Lu Bu, none of them are soft persimmons, and they need to be weighed.

Even if it is really a two-front army, the distribution of soldiers and horses, the transfer of generals, and the ratio of ordnance all need to be discussed.
