Longzhong is located more than 20 miles west of Xiangyang City. The scenery is pleasant and the climate is suitable. The mountain is arched and guarded, and there is a kind of "Tibetan show" pattern in feng shui.

There is a small town here, mostly farms, who farm on weekdays and hunt in the mountains in their spare time. Relying on Xiangyang City, but it is not a military stronghold, it can be regarded as a bit of peace in this troubled era.

On this day, a group of more than a dozen horsemen galloped from the official road. The three people at the head are all dressed in regular clothes, with hair tied on their heads, swords at their waists, and they are also tall and mighty when they sit on their horses, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. Behind him were all dressed as samurai, and their eyes were shooting all the way, quite vigilant. And during the march, the three people at the head were sandwiched in the middle, and the intention of the guards was obvious.

All three have renewed their requests. One person has fair skin and a tall figure, but his face is very strange, especially the pair of attractive ears, which are surprisingly big.

The person on the left has a red face, as if drinking, a pair of sword eyebrows with blazing eyes are quite powerful, and he has a long beard, half a foot, and extremely thick.

There is a person on the right, with a square face and meat, exposed arms, muscles coiled, a beard, a pair of bulging eyes like copper bells, and eyebrows exploding upward, not angry and arrogant.

These three people are the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang.

The reputation of these three brothers is very high. But so far not much "heroic".

Why?

Have you ever seen a heroic figure who hides in Tibet, often goes to a precarious place, and eats everywhere? Moreover, the resume of Liu Bei, the eldest brother of these three brothers, is indeed not a hero.

In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was put on the table by Cao Cao and given a military position to fight against Yuan Shao's forces. But he was defeated by Yuan Shu. And because Lu Bu attacked Xiapi at that time, Liu Bei's wife and children were also arrested. In the end, he could only return to Jun Xiaopei and pray to Lu Bu again to save his wife and children.

You said that people released your wife and children, so it's time to sell face to Liu Bei, right? But Liu Bei didn't think so, and secretly gathered an army to prepare for revenge. was discovered by Lu Bu in advance, led the army to attack, and was defeated again. can only ask for help from Cao Cao.

Cao Cao immediately gave Liu Bei soldiers, horses, grain and grass reinforcements, and sealed Liu Bei's Yuzhou pasture. This allowed Liu Bei to keep Xiaopei.

In the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu killed Liu Bei's heart and did not die, so Gao Shun and Zhang Liao attacked Xiaopei again. Although Cao Cao sent troops to the rescue, he was beaten back halfway through. In this way, Xiao Pei was finally taken down by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei fled in a hurry. But his wife and children were captured by Lu Bu again.

After the defeat of Xiaopei, Liu Bei found Cao Cao again. He was named General Zuo by Cao Cao. It's not a treat.

From this point of view, in the first few years of Jian'an, Cao Cao was still good to Liu Bei. At least on the surface, Liu Bei is a talent. And rescuing each other a few times can be regarded as some favors, right? Liu Bei is not grateful to Dade, but he is not hateful, right?

But Liu Bei is biased. He is the world in his heart, and what bullshit Yuzhou Mu and General Zuo are not what he wants. In his opinion, Cao Cao is his stumbling block, and everything he does is uneasy and kind. So, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei took advantage of the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Guandu, directly opposed Cao Cao, took Xiaopei and Xiapi, and prepared to unite with Yuan Shao at that time to attack Cao.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his troops to Xiaopei, and Liu Bei was defeated again. Then the second brother Guan Yu was captured, and he fled to Qingzhou with the remnants and defected to Yuan Shao. It is said that at that time, Yuan Shao personally went out of the city for 200 miles to greet Liu Bei, this face should be big enough, right?

But Cao Cao couldn't contain Liu Bei's heart, and Yuan Shao couldn't do it. Treat each other politely, Liu Bei should go or go.

After meeting with Guan Yu, who was out of Cao's camp, Liu Bei said that he would help Yuan Shao and Liu Biao fight against Cao together, so he ran to Liu Biao's territory with his soldiers. was placed by Liu Biao to garrison Xinye.

But Liu Bei is very evil, his mouth is really out of the blue, coupled with his insight and ambition, as well as a strong righteousness, he is really very capable of bluffing. In other words, Liu Bei's personal charm is ridiculously strong. Even though he is embarrassed to hide in Tibet, there are still many people who believe in his evil. For example, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao, who accepted Liu Bei, were yin by Liu Bei.

When he arrived in Xinye, Liu Bei settled down temporarily. But his heart was in a panic. In the past few years, there has been no stop. The power in his hands is also gathered today, and tomorrow it will burp and fart. No capital was saved at all. Seeing that it is now the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's situation in the north has been decided. The next step is to go south. Even Liu Bei guessed Cao Cao's plan, Liu Biao's Jingzhou was afraid that it would become a thorn in Cao Cao's side, and he wanted to take it quickly.

In this way, the new field he is stationed in now has become an awl that will inevitably bear the brunt. Coupled with the filth he had played on Cao Cao before, it is estimated that if he doesn't want to find a way, he may not be able to escape in the future.

But Liu Bei's luck has always been very good, and it is still now. He once had a strategist named Xu Shu under his command, Xu Shu's skills were good, but he was looked down upon by Cao Cao, and he used means to force Xu Shu to leave Liu Bei's command. Although Liu Bei was reluctant, he was unwilling to stay. Otherwise, his reputation is stinky, how can he show his signboard and accept people?

Before leaving, Xu Shu told Liu Bei that he knew that there was a very powerful figure living in seclusion in Xiangyang Longzhong, named Zhuge Liang, whose name was Kongming, and because he lived in Wollongong, he called himself Wolong.

Liu Bei, who has been cornered, is now in urgent need of a talent who has real talent and can help him analyze the situation and find a feasible breakthrough to help him. Therefore, for this Mr. Wolong, who only hears his name and does not see his person, Liu Bei is very concerned.

The first time, I went to Wollongong and pounced. Then Zhuge Liang was not there at all.

The second time I went, I was unlucky, and I met Zhuge Liang again, and I flew in the air again.

At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both impatient. Now in this world, there are many so-called "talents" who pretend to be gods and deceive people to eat and drink, and they think that this Zhuge Liang is this kind of bastard. Otherwise, how could Liu Biao's territory still live in seclusion in this small place in the countryside without being poached?

Therefore, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both persuaded Liu Bei to forget it. First, I didn't visit twice, this is no fate, and secondly, I also think that Zhuge Liang is a liar. Don't look for it again. Even if you want to find it, you don't need to come all the way to it again and again, right?

But Liu Bei is like a demon barrier, he firmly believes that Xu Shu will not lie to him, and said that Zhuge Liang is a great talent, then there is no doubt that he must be a great talent. As for why he hasn't been poached by others, it's because God is destined to wait for him Liu Bei. So, after the second swoop, Liu Bei left a letter to the scholar who guarded the door. The letter said a lot of tall and complete words. And left a day to say that he would come back.

And today is the day that Liu Bei said in his letter. For the third time, he rushed to Longzhong with his two reluctant brothers. He was very excited, and for no reason he felt that he would not be disappointed this time.

"Hey, where are you going? Do you know how to get to Wollongong?"

Liu Bei, who was galloping right away, suddenly heard someone talking, and the voice was as clear as in their ears. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a man in a black robe with gold and nine dragons walking leisurely beside them!

Oh my God, they're riding their horses right now, and this man is walking like a galloping horse, and he can go as fast as a galloping horse?!
