Chapter 590: Collaborators of Zajia and Farmers
Guan Yu is a man who is humble on the outside and arrogant on the inside. His arrogance is not inferior to that of Xiang Yu and Lu Bu. Perhaps this is also a common problem of strong people.
From Guan Yu's point of view, there is nothing to be proud of being ninth on the general list, because there are actually eight people who are stronger than him, and his goal has always been only one, and that is to be number one in the world.
"I, Guan Yunchang, will never be weaker than others."
Guan Yu thought with great determination in his heart, and then continued to practice his sword skills tirelessly in the courtyard.
Looking at his sworn brother who was still training hard, Zhang Fei said doubtfully: "Brother, second brother doesn't seem happy."
Liu Bei sighed, and then asked: "Then third brother, are you happy?"
"Of course, I, Lao Zhang, ranked eighteenth this time. Although it is lower than my second brother, I will definitely improve next time."
Zhang Fei has an open and cheerful personality. Although he is not willing to be weaker than others, he does not think that he is the strongest one.
Since we can't compare now, we can just win it back in the future, and there's nothing to worry about. This is what Zhang Fei was thinking.
Seeing his third brother's openness, Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more, while Zhang Fei also looked thoughtful when he saw this.
Seeing that Zhang Fei could think independently, Liu Bei nodded happily and asked: "Third brother, how are the training of the soldiers and horses in the camp? Can they resist Huang Chao?"
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, the 20,000 new troops have been trained. If Huang Chao dares to attack again, I, Zhang, will tell him to never come back."
The 20,000 new troops were Liu Bei's largest capital. In order to raise the money and food he needed to recruit, he paid a heavy price.
Zhang Fei seemed to have remembered something and said: "Brother, is it really okay for us to cooperate with Baijia?"
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, thinking that when he first took office as the governor of Pingyuan, there were only dozens of guards around him, but the plain was in chaos.
At that time, in the plains, there were worries about aristocratic families and gangs inside, and the dangers of Huang Chao outside. Without cooperation with hundreds of families, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to secure his position as governor, and where would he get the money and food to recruit troops?
Liu Bei smiled helplessly and said: "Third brother, the eldest brother is not a child of aristocratic families like Qin Hao and Yuan Shao. If you want to realize your ideals in troubled times, you must give up something."
"But……"
Zhang Fei was still a little worried, but Liu Bei didn't give him a chance to continue.
"Don't worry, the Nong family is different from other schools of the Bai family. The eldest brother is a disciple of Master Lu. Even for the sake of Master Lu, the Nong family will not deliberately harm us, right? Besides, what do I, Liu Bei, have in my hands that others care about?"
What Liu Bei didn't know was that what the farmers cared about was never his power, but Liu Bei himself.
Zhang Fei was speechless when he heard this, and forced a smile and said: "I hope so."
Liu Bei smiled and nodded, and then took the list from Zhang Fei. When he discovered that Qin Hao's name was on both the civil and military lists, his face was filled with shock.
"Qin Hao actually made it to the civil and military rankings at the same time. How is this possible? Is he a monster?"
Liu Bei was horrified and extremely afraid of Qin Hao.
——————
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
"Tenth on the literature list and fiftieth on the martial arts list. Qin Hao, you are really surprising."
Looking at the list in his hand, Lu Bu was also shocked. When he saw that his ranking was above Ran Min, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Ran Min, you must be very angry after seeing this list, right? But now my strength may really be better than yours, maybe."
Lu Bu naturally knew in his heart that Ran Min was a little better than him at the beginning, but his improvement rate during this period was extremely high, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him being ranked above him.
"But if you want to defeat Ran Min, you must have a good horse. Ran Min's mount is not an ordinary horse." Lu Bu said thoughtfully.
During the Battle of Changbanqiao, the red fire horse given to Lu Bu by Qin Hao died in battle. Although Lu Bu has been searching for good horses since then, good horses are not so easy to find.
"I don't believe that the world's great assembly can't find a horse that can accompany me, Lu Bu, in the battle."
Lu Bu had a vague premonition in his heart. Although he didn't know why, he always felt that he would definitely get another top-quality horse in the future.
What Lu Bu didn't know was that the mount that would accompany him in battle in the future was not just a BMW, but a true king of horses.
"Brother, it's not easy to get a BMW."
Lu Buwei walked out from the side and said with a smile: "That person has been trying to win you over. All you need to say is, what kind of BMW doesn't it have?"
After seeing Lu Buwei, Lu Bu frowned slightly. At the same time, a little girl ran in and said timidly:
"Dad, the second uncle insists on coming in, Lingqi can't stop him."
"Lingqi, please go out first. Dad and my second uncle have something to talk about."
Lu Lingqi's eyes were full of doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions, but obediently withdrew.
Lu Bu glanced at his younger brother indifferently and said, "The Bai family is really powerful. First it was the Yin-Yang family, then there were famous families, and now it's your Za family?"
"Brother, look at what you are saying. Our Za family is just following the will of heaven. Why do you think it's like we're harming the world?"
"snort."
Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think I don't know anything? The man from Xiliang is very ambitious, and now he is getting together with you, what good can he do?"
Hearing Lu Bu mention Dong Zhuo, Lu Buwei was slightly shocked, but he still said calmly: "Brother, how do you know that the younger brother is talking about Dong Gong and not Qin Gong or Champion Hou? They, father and son, also value you very much. "
Lu Bu naturally knew what his brother meant.
"Qin Wen and his adoptive father have a close relationship. He can't win me over in private. Besides, it's impossible for them, father and son, to get together with your miscellaneous family."
Lu Buwei's eyes were full of surprise. His eldest brother could actually use his brain. What a miracle!
"Brother, you guessed it right. It's Mr. Dong. He has admired eldest brother for a long time, so he asked the younger brother to come and lobby eldest brother through the senior officials of the Za family."
"Dong Zhuo already has Li Yuanba, why are you recruiting me? Li Yuanba even defeated Xiang Yu, I am no match for him."
Lu Bu said with a mocking look on his face. He still can't believe that Xiang Yu actually lost to a fool.
Lu Buwei looked embarrassed and said: "Brother, Li Yuanba is a fool after all, and you are the flying general Lu Bu who guards Wuyuan. How can he compare with you?"
There was no wave in Lu Bu's eyes, and he said coldly: "You go, my adoptive father treats me well, and I will never leave him."
"Not thin?" Lu Buwei showed disdain and said angrily: "Brother, you are really good at deceiving yourself and others..."
