Although Yuan Shu was very eager to become the emperor, he did not immediately declare that he wanted to establish himself as the emperor, but began to prepare in full swing.

Calling the emperor is not something that can be called casually.

Since ancient times, the monarchy has either been given by God, or it is to follow Yao Shun and practice Zen concession; But since there is no Son of Heaven in hand, then Zen will naturally not work, so it can only be through the first method.

This method is also simple, it is nothing more than to discover what auspiciousness and what to dig out tokens that represent the mandate of heaven and providence.

What fox barks in the middle of the night, what swings a red sword to cut a white snake, what fish finds a note in its belly, what thousand-year-old turtle suddenly surfaces, and the turtle shell is engraved with "xx is the true son of heaven" and so on.

All of these can be regarded as God's instructions and approvals.

You can say it's false, and others won't necessarily believe it, but it has to be, because it represents "providence."

This is also why Yuan Shu wants to force the proverbs on himself, because he just wants others to know that he is not a usurper, and that he is in accordance with the mandate of heaven to call the emperor.

As for whether it is a true destiny, it is unknown.

……

Jizhou, outside Yecheng.

Now that late autumn has passed, winter is coming, and although the weather has not completely turned cold, there is already a deep chill in the wind.

A withered yellow leaf hung on the bare branches, crumbling and trembling, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

"Stampede ——!"

Three horses galloped along the trail, the wind blowing off the leaves, and then the horses' hooves trampled heavily into the mud.

"Appeal ——!"

Suddenly, the leader rode back to a halt.

So the two riders also stopped.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

One of them stepped forward and asked, but saw that this person was eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers, and his voice was extremely loud.

"Big brother Mo is tired and wants to rest?"

At this time, the other rider also asked.

Compared with the previous one, this person's appearance is much more handsome, his face is like a heavy jujube, his lips are greased, his eyes are danfeng, his silkworm eyebrows are lying on his chest, and he has three locks of long hair floating on his chest.

In the face of the inquiries of the two, the leader shook his head, then raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Ten miles ahead, it will be Yecheng." ”

"I'm hesitating now, I don't know if it's the right choice to go to Yuan Shao this time."

This is the person who is called the eldest brother by the two, and he is also good-looking, tall and tall, with arms that are longer than the knees; The face is like a crown of jade, and the eyes are deep and bright, giving people a sense of gentleness.

The most remarkable thing is that his earlobes are huge, and he is blessed with a deep fortune at a glance.

If Liu Xie was here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize the identities of these three people at a glance.

These three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!

The appearance of the three of them is so extraordinary that even if they are placed in the crowd, they can be noticed at a glance.

Especially Guan Yu's red-faced and phoenix eyes, long beard and beautiful hair, and Liu Bei's big earlobes are all iconic features that have been recorded in history; And both of them are here, so the identity of the remaining person naturally needs not be said.

Where did these three brothers go?

"Hey, big brother, what's there to worry about."

Zhang Feice immediately stepped forward and said indifferently, "If Yuan Shao's son of heaven here is fake, let's go to Xu County and switch to Cao Cao." ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Third brother, you think too simply, I am a member of the Han family, if I come to Yuan Shao and leave and turn to Cao Cao, how do you think the people of the world will view Yuan Shao?" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head and wondered, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Bei: "......"

He felt that it would be better for him to talk to the third brother directly in the future.

"What the eldest brother means is that if Yuan Shao's Son of Heaven here is fake, then he will definitely not let us go, so as not to be exposed."

Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei, "You must know that the eldest brother is a member of the Han family and is famous all over the world, if he says that the Son of Heaven in Yecheng is fake, then who will believe Yuan Shao again?" ”

"Therefore, it is quite dangerous for us to go to Yecheng."

Obviously, Guan Yu knows very well how risky it is to come to Yecheng this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big gamble.

Liu Bei didn't speak, just sighed.

And Zhang Fei immediately exploded after listening to the explanation, and glared: "Yuan Shao, he dare!" He wanted to be unfavorable to his eldest brother, so he first asked me if the Zhangba snake spear in my hand would agree! ”

The spear in Zhang Fei's hand shook, and a cold light flashed.

A dead tree with a thick bowl mouth on the side of the road was suddenly pierced!

With a casual blow, it was terrifying.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like if this spear were pierced on a person.

"Third brother, don't be impatient."

Liu Bei pressed Zhang Fei's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Yuan Benchu was known as a model in the world, and he was born in a famous family, he was a hero, and he would not do such a thing as finding someone to pretend to be the Son of Heaven." ”

"We came to Yecheng this time, not only to meet the Son of Heaven, but also to ask Yuan Shao for help and recapture Peixian. When the time comes, don't be so rude when you see him, after all, we have a request. ”

Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I know." ”

But hearing his words, the worry on Liu Bei's face was even worse.

Every time the third brother said this sentence to reassure him, in the end it was often the most worrying for him, and it seemed that he had to pay attention to it a little later.

And Guan Yu wiped the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the three family slaves who took advantage of our unpreparedness to send troops to attack and seize Pei County, why would we have fallen to the point of begging for help!" ”

"When I borrow soldiers and horses, I will lead the soldiers to fight back, and cut the thief under the sword, and hate him with snow!"

The reason why the three brothers came to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao for help was that Lu Bu sent troops to attack Pei County and seize their territory.

Now Pei County is occupied by Lu Bu, and even Liu Bei's wife and children have been captured, so as a last resort, they can only choose to be cheeky to borrow troops from others.

This is extremely humiliating for Guan Yu!

"Don't worry, Yun Chang, we will take Pei County back."

Liu Bei comforted, patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and smiled heartily: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and it is not a shame to ask for someone, eldest brother, have I begged less people in my life?" ”

Guan Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Obviously, he was not relieved by his eldest brother's words.

Liu Bei was also helpless when he saw this, he naturally understood the arrogance of his second brother, but now that the situation is like this, there is no other way.

"Alright, hurry up and arrive at Yecheng before dark!"

"Second brother and third brother, if anyone is the last to arrive, then they will have a drink for a treat!"

"I'm going to go first for my brother, hahaha! Driving ——! ”

Liu Bei regained his spirits, and after dropping this sentence, he rode his horse and whipped away.

"Big brother, you are cheating!"

"Third brother, I'm going first! Driving ——! ”

"Wow! Wait for me! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also galloped wildly and followed closely behind.
