Chapter 117: Liu Bei Had an Adventure on the Road
In October 191 AD, the Battle of Jieqiao ended with the victory of the Yuan family, and the news spread quickly.
The gentry were very excited about this news, and Yuan Tan's reputation began to spread like thunder, and he became a name that was often talked about by people all over the world.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and their famous generals also began to come into view.
In Plain County.
This is Liu Bei's place.
Liu Bei, whose name is Xuande, was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan. His ancestor was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
But when it comes to his generation, there are already dozens of generations. In short, everyone is gone.
That is to say, he became an ordinary person.
However, he is an ambitious person. He worships Confucianism Lu Zhi as his teacher with his ability, and becomes brothers with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, he has been committed to entering the temple, taking power and revitalizing the Han Dynasty.
And his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are also determined to help him achieve his ideals.
However, the sky failed to fulfill his wishes. After years of struggle, he was still far from the goal in his heart. However, fortunately, there is also a county where he can settle down and accumulate strength.
When the news of the Battle of Jieqiao reached here, Liu Bei was a little panicked. He was able to settle down on the plain because he relied on the big tree, Gongsun Zan.
Now the big tree is about to fall, what should we do in the future?
Immediately, he called Jian Yong, the doorman, to discuss the matter.
Jian Yong is a counselor, but he is only a third-rate counselor. He doesn't know how to plan for soldiers or the country, but he has a good tongue and often acts as Liu Bei's lobbyist. Some things can still be seen clearly.
"My lord, General Gongsun's defeat this time is likely to result in the loss of the land of Jizhou that he obtained earlier... From this point of view, the plan that the lord made at Kong Rong in Qingzhou before was far-sighted." Jian Yong sighed endlessly, although the big tree wanted to Falling, but I found a place to go ahead of time.
Before Liu Bei received an order from Gongsun Zan to lure the Yellow Turban bandits from Qingzhou to go north to Jizhou, this gave Gongsun Zan an excuse to send troops to Jizhou.
At that time, he also specially sent Jian Yong to tell Qingzhou Mu Kong Rong that the purpose of luring the yellow scarf thief to the north was to help Kong Rong solve his problems.
Jian Yong gave full play to his ability as a lobbyist. After hearing what he said, Kong Rong was really grateful to Liu Bei from the bottom of his heart.
And Kong Rong's identity is not just as simple as Qingzhou Mu, he is also the direct descendant of Kong Shengren and the head of the contemporary saint's family. This identity is even greater and cannot be underestimated, and everyone in the world admires it.
Therefore, Liu Bei, who was grateful to Kong Rong, also doubled his reputation.
Now Liu Bei is the hero incarnation of morality and benevolence in the hearts of the people of the world. It is precisely because of his help that the saint's hometown can be preserved.
Of course Liu Bei knew the meaning of Jian Yong's words, and sighed, "Unsurprisingly, the Yuan family will use troops against me in the next step. The place can't be defended anymore, and we need to find a soldier for the five thousand soldiers." place."
That must be Qingzhou.
Liu Bei has a reputation now, and it is getting bigger and bigger, but at the moment he is still full of helplessness, watching the princes from all walks of life expand their territories and establish their foundations, and he can only go into exile.
But it's better than being killed and eliminated, right?
You must know that it has only been a year since the princes crusade against Dong Zhuo. Several of the eighteen princes died, all of them were killed by their original allies.
Liu Bei didn't want to die.
As long as you don't die, you have a chance.
What's more, under his dedicated pursuit, he has also become famous. As long as you have this reputation, the opportunities are great.
"Big brother, big brother, Yuan Shao, the dog day, sent his youngest son to lead the army to fight!"
A rough shout came from outside.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu came quickly.
"Brother, shall we vote for him?" Zhang Fei wanted to fight.
Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him, "Speaking of which, Yuan Shang must not be your opponent, third brother, but if you fight against him, you will definitely attract Yuan Tan and others... Our army is meager and cannot be wasted."
Now the five thousand soldiers of Liu Bei's army are really his heart and soul.
Zhang Fei stared, but he had to admit that what Liu Bei said made sense.
However, his expression inevitably fell, and he threw the fake snake spear in his hand to the ground. The real snake spear was disarmed by Yuan Tan earlier, and he was not at all comfortable with the fake snake spear, and it had become a habit to throw it away when he was in a bad mood.
after one day.
Liu Bei's retreat was faster than expected, and he had already led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Gaotang, one of the largest crossings of the Yellow River.
"Duke Xuande..." Many people came to pay their respects on their own initiative.
Along the way, all the people I met came to say goodbye, and this place was no exception.
Liu Bei shed tears. It seemed that he was very moved. He couldn't help saying to the people: "Duke Yuan won't tolerate me. I have to leave Pingyuan. The Yuan family has always been kind and will definitely treat you well..."
The people also wept.
Speaking of it, Liu Bei is very kind to the people, never taking what should not be taken, and sometimes rewarding the people with what he brought, so no matter where he goes, he is very popular and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
...
Liu Bei led his troops and walked another two miles. With the sound of the Yellow River's turbulent water, the people could no longer be seen here, and what he saw was a withered sorghum field.
The red sorghum on both sides of the road is only half the height of a person. Judging from the withered situation, it should be dry and dead before heading.
Things are impermanent in troubled times, this kind of situation is very common.
"Brother, the Gaotang Ferry is ahead." Zhang Fei pointed at the fake snake spear, staring at Tongling's eyes and said. It looks very angry and ferocious, but it is born like this. Even if he was happy, it was even more scary.
Liu Bei nodded, with a hint of excitement in his expression.
You must know that he has worked hard for ten years to accumulate the money, food and soldiers behind him. During this time, he has been worried, fearing that he will be chased by the Yuan family.
Well now, it's finally safe to transfer. Just like people who receive pensions in later generations, they feel very happy, "I hope the Yuan family can treat the people of Pingyuan County well."
Guan Yu admired elder brother's benevolence the most. He stroked his beard when he heard the words, and said calmly: "During this journey, how many people came to say goodbye to elder brother... Don't those princes who only know how to fight for power feel ashamed when they hear it?"
Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that he was not qualified to be this compliment, and meant to stop talking.
Although he had to leave Pingyuan County to start a career in exile, he still had great ambitions in his heart. With five thousand elite soldiers under his command and brothers to help him, where would he not be respected?
Believe that there will be a day when you will succeed.
The voice did not fall.
Suddenly, I found that the road in the middle of the sorghum field was blocked by two people.
On the loess road, there are gorgeous carpets, on which there are mats and tables.
Two young men sat kneeling across the table and were playing chess.
On the road in the wilderness, two children from rich families blocked the way to play chess. When they saw the troops coming, they were still talking and laughing happily.
This situation is too weird, which surprised Liu Bei and the others.
