The two were talking, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves in front of them was flying, and the two looked up, but saw Chen Yan actually riding a horse from the team in front of them and running towards them.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both shocked, they didn't know why Chen Yan came over at this time, and they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan had already arrived in front of him, looking at Liu Guanzhang and the others with a look of surprise, Chen Yan smiled and said, "What? I'm not welcome to come with you? ”

At this time, the army marched towards Luoyang, Chen Yan and his henchmen led the army in front, and Liu Bei led Chen Yan to the rear of the army that Chen Yan had just assigned to him, at this time Chen Yan suddenly ran to Liu Bei's side, claiming to go with him, Liu Bei always felt a little strange.

But feeling strange but unable to refuse, Liu Bei hurriedly smiled and bowed and said, "How can it be, welcome general." ”

Guan Yu saw that Chen Yan was looking for Liu Bei this time, so he took Zhang Fei to the back with a sense of interest, so as not to cause trouble for Chen Yan and Liu Bei.

Chen Yan came over on horseback, side by side with Liu Bei, and marched forward together.

The two had a casual conversation along the way, the two were not familiar with each other, and their backgrounds were completely different, so they really couldn't find any common topics for a while.

Liu Bei even found in the casual conversation that Chen Yan seemed to know very little about today's era, and Chen Yan didn't know much about many of the past events and customs he said, and he didn't know where Chen Yan came from.

Although Chen Yan has traveled back for a long time at this time, he still does not have a deep understanding of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but fortunately, Chen Yan rarely talks to people except for battlefield events, and now he and Liu Bei have just chatted for a while, and they are a little stretched.

In a hurry, Chen Yan was a little flustered, and suddenly thought in his heart: "Guan Yu moved me with sincere words that night, I simply treated people with sincerity and told Liu Bei the truth." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yan blurted out: "Xuande, I caused you to lose 30,000 soldiers, do you hate me in your heart?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed, and he was shocked, he never expected Chen Yan to suddenly come out like this, and tell him the truth openly.

Although Chen Yan asked Liu Bei to take the lead against Ji Ling's elite troops, it was tantamount to borrowing a knife to kill people and hitting a stone with an egg, but Liu Bei never imagined that Chen Yan would dare to expose this matter and ask himself face to face.

Liu Bei is a frank person, although he is not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he is not willing to deliberately pretentious.

Now facing Chen Yan's question, Liu Bei groaned slightly, and then gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest? ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "To be honest." ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "Those soldiers were born and died with me, and some of them came from the plains, and they are also half of my own brothers......

Speaking of this, Liu Bei's face suddenly showed a sad look, it was an indescribable sadness. Yes, these brothers are his own right-hand men, Liu Bei hid and hid along the way, and never had a place to live, but these brothers never left him, but now they are dead in a foreign country, and they died on the battlefield against Ji Ling.

And all this was caused by Chen Yan's decision, although the two armies fought, casualties were inevitable, but Chen Yan really needed to be responsible for these losses.

Does Liu Bei hate Chen Yan? Presumably, the answer is self-explanatory.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei continued: "General, do you know my background? ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Liu Bei to suddenly ask himself this question, and immediately lost his mind, and asked hesitantly, "Life experience?" ”

Liu Bei said to himself: "I was originally a person from the northern border, although I am a royal family and nobleman, but I also fell early, my grandfather used to be an official, but unfortunately he lost power soon...... My father also died early, and my mother and I were the only ones in the family. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei did not have a tragic expression on his face, it was just a faint helplessness, Chen Yan was very familiar with Liu Bei's background, after all, in later generations, Liu Bei was a very famous historical figure.

I only heard Liu Bei continue: "This world is the world of family identity, not the world of grass people's white bodies, although Gaozu was born as a pavilion chief, but now, who can afford to look at a white hero?" Liu Bei seemed a little cynical, and when he said this, his face changed a little.

He continued: "It is not easy for my mother to make a living, in order to let me get a good education, she is a shoe seller, and I have enough education, and finally let me learn from Lu Zhi, a sage in the county. ”

Chen Yan listened to it and sighed, throughout the ages, although the times have continued to progress and develop, some things have always been the same, this era pays attention to origin, and the era in which he was originally located is not?

Liu Bei suddenly clenched his fists and said: "But I just want them to know that although I, Liu Bei, am from a humble background, I am stronger than them, I am more talented and capable than them, and I value love and righteousness more than them!" ”

At this time, Liu Bei, although he was not confused in his old age, was still resolute, just like the humble young man who studied hard in Zhuo County back then, his eyes were blazing and radiant, which moved Chen Yan even more.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Chen Yan and said, "General, I know why you have always been jealous of me, because you feel that you are ready to live in all directions, but you always do not want to live under others, you think I am an unpragmatic and dishonest person, right?" ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he didn't care about it, and nodded.

Liu Bei smiled: "The general is too worried, I don't want to be subordinate, but because I want to prove to them, although I am from a humble background, but I can also make them bow down, I want my mother's hard work not to be in vain!" If I am willing to be a little Taishou, then wouldn't I be ashamed of the grass shoes that my mother used to weave day and night?! ”

Chen Yan was suddenly told by Liu Bei to the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect that he would be able to get Liu Bei's heartfelt confession of a sincere question.

Although Chen Yan knew that Liu Bei had a bad background and was a shoe seller, and he also knew that Liu Bei was displaced, but he never wanted to live under others, but he never thought that there was such a connection between these two things.

I am afraid that it is the poverty and blindness of his youth that have created the ambitious, affectionate and righteous Liu Xuande today, Chen Yan suddenly felt that Liu Bei was just like himself, and he always wanted to prove himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan asked softly: "Xuande Gong, are you willing to assist the Han family with me and achieve great achievements?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Yan with a pair of burning eyes, and a warm and sincere smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Of course I do."

It was a childlike cry from a man in his thirties.
