Chen Zhou still wanted to meet Liu Guanzhang, including Zhao Zilong.
But now Zhao Yun, because his brother passed away, resigned and went home to Gongsun Zan. It was not until the eve of the Battle of Guandu that he came out again and took refuge with Liu Bei. It was still too early to meet Zhao Zilong, unless he went to Changshan to find someone.
Hearing that Liu Bei had finally arrived, Chen Zhou came to the Chinese army camp to see if Liu Guan and Zhang's appearance matched his perception.
"Xuande, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon and fight side by side."
As soon as Chen Zhou arrived, he saw Cao Cao pulling a man with droopy ears and arms above his knees, who was being polite in front of everyone.
This person is Liu Daer.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all super easy to identify.
Liu Bei could recognize him at a glance. As for Guan Yu, he had red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a beard two feet long, a face as heavy as a jujube, and in his hand was a Qinglong Yanyue Sword that looked super heavy at first glance.
At this time, Zhou Cang has not yet appeared, and no one is carrying the sword for Guan Yu.
In addition, Chen Zhou knew that there were multiple versions of Zhang Fei's records in history.
Some people say that Zhang Fei is good at painting beauties, and he is not necessarily a rough man, but actually a beautiful man. Some people say that Zhang Fei has a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger beard. Using tigers and leopards as an analogy, it shows his bravery.
In fact, the second description is a kind of stereotyped image used by ancient people in novels. For example, the black whirlwind Li Kui in Water Margin has a similar image to Zhang Fei.
However, the Zhang Fei that Chen Zhou saw now was exactly the second type of stereotype.
This is how Liu Guanzhang appeared.
"It will be a great pleasure to be able to fight side by side with Cao Sikong and defeat the rebels together!"
Liu Bei laughed boldly.
The unpleasantness of the past stalemate in Xuzhou was thus forgotten by Liu Bei.
But at this time, Cao Cao noticed that Chen Zhou was also here.
"Wat it!"
"Chen Zhou, Chen Duzhi, this is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of the Han Dynasty, and the other two are Xuande's sworn brothers..."
Cao Cao waved to Chen Zhou, and then introduced Liu, Guan, and Zhang to Chen Zhou.
But it's all out of politeness, just be polite to them.
"Could this be Chen Zhou and Chen Duzhi who pacified Guanzhong and killed the two thieves Li Jue?"
After hearing the introduction, Liu Bei looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
After the incident in Guanzhong, Chen Zhou's reputation spread, and more and more people knew about it, including Liu Bei in Xuzhou.
Chen Zhou bowed and said, "That's right."
"I finally get to meet you sir."
Liu Bei returned the gift.
Then he looked at Chen Zhou. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that Chen Zhou was very pleasing to the eye.
As Liu Bei was in the initial stage of starting a business, he lacked a useful military advisor. Jian Yong and Sun Qian were mediocre and could not serve as military advisors. It was not until Zhuge Liang was invited to come out that they had a chance to rise.
Therefore, Liu Bei is now eager to have a real counselor.
Now I am very pleased to see Chen Zhou, and I feel that it is a waste of talent for a capable person like Chen Zhou to be recruited by Cao Cao.
Liu Bei was murmuring in his heart, wondering if there would be a chance to poach Chen Zhou to his side in the future.
"Xuande has just arrived, so he should have a good rest."
Seeing that they were acquainted, Cao Cao said again: "Come here, arrange a location and set up camp for Xuande. We will go south early tomorrow morning to prepare to invade Huainan."
"We disturbed Cao Sikong."
Liu Bei nodded slightly and did not ask to stay.
Soon he followed the soldiers who led the way and left, setting up camp to rest.
Cao Cao brought Chen Zhou, Guo Jia and Jia Xu to his tent.
After Chen Zhou's reminder, Cao Cao began to pay attention to Jia Xu and found that his ability was indeed good. In order to win over Jia Xu for his own use, he also took Zhang Xiu with him on this expedition. It was natural to take Jia Xu with him in the army.
"What do you think of Liu Xuande?"
As soon as Cao Cao sat down, he asked this sentence.
"Can't stay!"
Chen Zhou and Jia Xu said almost in unison.
As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at each other and laughed together.
Chen Zhou felt that he could not stay because he knew what Liu Bei would do in the future. Jia Xu said that he could not stay because he saw the threat of Liu Bei in the future. He was indeed Jia Wenhe.
Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised that they had the same idea.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Du Zhi and Wen He have exactly the same ideas!"
Even Jia Xu was a little surprised and explained: "Liu Bei has always been responsible for his own benevolence and righteousness. He has been with Gongsun Zan from the beginning, but in order to seek development and opportunities, he decisively left Gongsun Zan and traveled from the plains to Beihai. , and then to Xiapi, he has certain ambitions. It’s just that he lacks a person who can give him direction. As long as he finds this person, he will definitely become a threat to the lord. "
It can be seen that Jia Xu has studied and analyzed Liu Bei's situation.
Being able to analyze Liu Bei so thoroughly directly points out the key points of Liu Bei's future development.
Jia Xu's ability is indeed very strong.
"My thoughts are similar to Wen He's."
Chen Zhou was too lazy to explain too much and directly used Jia Xu's analysis.
"You are right, but..."
Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "Liu Bei is not easy to kill."
Guo Jia said: "This man is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Killing him will have a very bad impact on the lord's reputation."
Killing the living Liu Bei was more serious than digging up the dead tomb of King Ai of Zhongshan.
People in this era pay attention to benevolence and justice and need reputation.
Cao Cao is not exempt from vulgarity.
"It's not difficult to kill Liu Bei, but now is not the time to kill him. When the time comes, I will help my lord wield this butcher knife."
Chen Zhou said: "The most important thing now is to get Xuzhou and then destroy Yuan Shu."
Cao Cao temporarily put aside the matter of killing Liu Bei.
——
After the camp is set up.
Liu Bei and the others can rest.
"What do Gongyou think of Chen Duzhi?"
He asked the question.
Sun Qian recalled what he had learned recently about Chen Zhou, and said: "Chen Duzhi only brought 300 people into Guanzhong, and he was able to pacify Yongzhou and Liangzhou, kill the two thieves Li Jue, and recover Long Xiang's army. He is from the old club of Sanhe Five Schools, this person is very strong!”
Very strong indeed.
If it were Liu Bei and the others, they might not be able to do this if they brought 30,000 people into Guanzhong.
With the help of this person, Cao Cao was even more powerful.
"Why would such a capable person choose Cao Mengde?"
Liu Bei's words were so sour that his teeth almost fell out.
He has such a great reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and he has a Han Dynasty status, but he can't recruit such a capable person.
Even the brave and foolhardy Lu Bu can be assisted by Chen Zhou.
"Brother, do you want to poach Chen Duzhi?"
Guan Yu understood what his brother was thinking.
Zhang Fei said: "It's so troublesome to dig him out, I'll go and tie him back right away."
Guan Yu said quickly: "Third brother, don't be impulsive, this is still Cao's camp."
Liu Bei said: "If I can have this person's help, I will definitely be able to pacify the world and help the Han Dynasty, but... alas!"
At this time, Chen Zhou didn't know yet. After showing off his abilities, not only was Dong Cheng targeting him, but now Liu Bei was also targeting him. They were all thinking about how to poach people away.
