"Gongsun Fan (Gongsun Yue) asks to see the lord!"
"It's Zhong Jing and Shu Rui, come in!" Gongsun Zan said.
Gongsun Fan was named Zhongjing, and Gongsun Yue was named Shurui. Both of them were Gongsun Zan's disciples.
Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue walked into the Chinese army's tent one after another. The former had beautiful features, white face and long beard, while the latter had a round face, big ears, and a tiger-backed waist.
Gongsun Fan asked with a worried expression.
"I heard my master coughing outside the tent just now. Is he feeling better?"
"Yes, Lord, how do you feel now?" Gongsun Yue agreed.
Perhaps due to his rebirth, Gongsun Zan felt that he was completely healed and full of energy, so he calmed down the two of them.
"Zhong Jing and Shu Rui, don't worry, my health is getting better and there is no serious problem!"
Gongsun Fan said happily.
"The whole army is concerned about the safety of the lord. Fortunately, the lord is fine."
"My lord, you have been ill for several days. I stayed outside the tent and dared not leave even half a step. If my lord is no longer good, I will chop the doctor to vent my anger!" Gongsun Yue shouted.
"Shruimo wants Hu Qin, you and Zhong Jing have worked hard these days."
"Zhong Jing, I have been ill and bedridden for several days. Could anything happen in the army?" Gongsun Zan asked immediately.
Gongsun Fan reported the military situation in the past few days to Gongsun Zan.
"Reporting to my lord, there is nothing going on in the army, and the soldiers are all doing their jobs."
"But there was a man named Liu Bei who wanted to see the lord with his two brothers. He claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty and claimed to be a former classmate and friend of the lord. Eventually, he saw that his appearance was extraordinary and his words did not seem to be false, so he put these three people together. Settlement of partial accounts.”
After Gongsun Fan finished reporting, he stood aside.
Gongsun Zan thought for a moment and then ordered.
"Liu Bei was indeed my classmate. I invited Liu Bei and the three of us to meet him!"
...
In a partial account.
The three people in the tent were sitting on their knees at separate tables.
The man in the center is seven feet and five inches long, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his hands are above his knees, his face is like a crown of jade, and his lips are like greased lips.
The man on the left is nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, a face like a jujube, red and phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows.
The one on the right is eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard.
It was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei, also known as Xuande, was originally from Zhuo County, Zhuo County. His ancestor was the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Due to the decline of his family, he was reduced to making a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. He was a man of great generosity, understanding and treating others, and perseverance.
Guan Yu, also known as Yunchang, was a person from Jiexian County in Hedong County. He was an extremely loyal man. In his early years, he committed crimes and fled to Zhuo County in Youzhou, where he met Liu Bei. Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name was Yide, was also from Zhuojun. He made a living by butchering pigs and selling meat. He was an upright and righteous man.
The three brothers had become sworn friends since Taoyuan. Along the way, they defeated the Yellow Turbans and wiped out bandits, and they had many military exploits.
The three of them, Liu Bei and Liu Bei, traveled to different places and fell in love with each other. They slept in the same bed and often slept together.
When Liu Bei attended various banquets, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stood beside Liu Bei to protect him all day long.
Now Liu Bei was recommended by Gongsun Zan to be the magistrate of Pingyuan County. Hearing that Gongsun Zan's army was passing through Pingyuan County, he came here to meet him. He never thought that he would just sit in this tent for several days without being able to see him.
"Brother, what do you think Gongsun Zan is putting on? He just doesn't see you when you don't see him. He lets that Gongsun Fan come to stall us. If you ask me to rush in directly, those guards won't be able to stop us three brothers." Zhang Fei was indignant.
"Brother, what the third brother said is not unreasonable. It has been a few days. Is there any reason for old friends to visit each other?" Guan Yu agreed.
"Second brother and third brother, please be patient!"
"Brother Gongsun was a good friend of my classmate in the past, and this county magistrate's post was actually recommended by him. There must be a reason why I haven't been able to see you for a few days. Maybe there is something important, and I didn't avoid it intentionally." Liu Bei looked as usual, stroking his beard. road.
At this moment, Gongsun Fan's voice came from outside the tent.
"Brother Liu, are you here? My lord invites you, please move on."
"Wait a moment, prepare to go immediately!" Liu Bei stood up immediately and said.
...
The Chinese military tent.
Gongsun Zan was fully dressed, and the guards outside the tent came in to report.
"My lord, the three Liu Bei brothers outside the tent are asking for an audience."
Gongsun Zan immediately put down the spoon in his hand, smoothed his sleeves and walked quickly outside the tent. He couldn't wait to meet the famous Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Outside the tent, three brothers, Gongsun Fan and Liu Bei, were waiting.
"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"
Gongsun Zan immediately recognized Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei as soon as he saw them. Their faces were too obvious. He also knew that Liu Bei and his party came to meet the princes for an alliance, so he deliberately raised this question.
"In the past, I was recommended by my brother to be the magistrate of Pingyuan County. Recently I heard that my brother's army was passing through the small county of Pingyuan, so I came here to ask for an audience. The two people next to me are sworn brothers. Guan Yu, also known as Yunchang, and Zhang Fei, known as Yide!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands in reply, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also cupped their hands in salute.
Gongsun Zan held up Liu Bei's hand and sighed.
"Yun Chang and Yide are really heroes. Brother Xuande is really lucky to have these two people helping him!"
Then he took Liu Bei and others to the tent. After hearing Gongsun Zan's praise, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's previous prejudice disappeared.
Everyone sat down one after another, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei standing beside Liu Bei.
Gongsun Zan was really envious when he saw it. The big-eared thief was so lucky. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both brave and unstoppable. Cao Cao was also guarded day and night by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
He is worthy of being a hero who can stand firm in this troubled world. Even if he encounters setbacks, he can quickly make a comeback.
If you want to compete with these big guys, you really can't fight if you don't have capable people at your disposal.
Gongsun Zan is not discouraged. He is currently based in Youzhou and Peiping, and is not lacking in this aspect. In addition, with his grasp of the general direction of history and planning in advance, he will surely be able to reverse the disadvantage of talent shortage.
