Within the territory of Beihai Kingdom.
A group of people was walking forward leisurely.
Sitting on a yellow gelding in the middle of the team was a strange man eight feet tall, with ears hanging down from his shoulders and hands above his knees. He was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who claimed to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
On the left is a man with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's chin and a tiger's beard. He is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide from Yan.
On the white horse on the right is a young general with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad face, a dignified appearance, and a majestic appearance. It is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
It turned out that Liu Bei, as his younger brother, followed the crusade against Dong Zhuo and failed. After that, he moved around and became the Pingyuan Order.
Finally having a piece of his own territory, Liu Bei recruited troops, hoarded grain and grass to expand his power, and at the same time "diligently implemented good governance" for the local people, raised them, and worked hard to build his reputation.
A few days ago, Taishi Ci, the general under Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, single-handedly broke through the encirclement and sent letters to Liu Bei for help.
Liu Bei was surprised at first! Kong Rong actually asked him for help? Are you so famous now?
Liu Bei didn't even think about it, and decided at that time: I must help him!
Kong Rong's reputation and prestige are still great. Isn't this a God-given opportunity to build up his reputation?
Yin Zhengzheng said to Tai Shici: "Please go back and tell Prime Minister Kong that Liu Bei is not talented. Go when you are ready! Let him just rest assured!"
Although Taishi Ci had heard that Liu Bei had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he didn't expect him to agree so readily!
I sincerely thanked him and didn't delay much. I rushed back to Beihai Kingdom the next day to have a business trip with Kong Rong.
But Liu Bei is just a small plains county magistrate, and he doesn't have much wealth. How many troops can he recruit?
After thinking about it, I still have to make an idea for my old classmate Gongsun Zan!
Gongsun Zan, courtesy name Bogui, was a native of Lingzhi in western Liaoning (now Qian'an, Hebei Province). Together with Liu Bei and Liu Deran, he studied under Lu Zhi, a native of Zhuojun.
Liu Bei first joined Gongsun Zan and made a living for a while.
Gongsun Zan was not hesitant when he heard that Liu Bei had come to borrow troops, and immediately borrowed a thousand elite soldiers plus Zhao Yun for Liu Bei to rescue Kong Rong.
Liu Bei had been very fond of Zhao Yun when he was working under Gongsun Zan. Zhao Yun also admired Liu Bei as a person and respected Liu Bei very much.
So Liu Bei gathered 3,000 men and headed to Beihai with great ambition.
Although there were only three thousand men, Liu Bei still asked Zhang Fei to lead a thousand men as the vanguard to open the way, he and Zhao Yun led a thousand men as the center army, and Guan Yu led a thousand men as the rear.
There are only a few people, so we have to focus on the art of war and momentum, right?
After marching for several days, we saw that we could reach Beihai in two days. Suddenly, a messenger came galloping from the front and reported:
"Lord! At the three-way intersection ahead, we suddenly encountered a group of people blocking the way. They were flying Lu Bu's flag! General Zhang has already stepped forward to answer..."
"Lu Bu!!" Liu Bei was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse!
How did you come across this big beast?
I seem to have heard that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo some time ago and married Princess Wannian!
Now that he is not working as his consort in Chang'an, what is he doing here in Beihai?
It turned out that Pingyuan was a small county town, and the news was not well developed. Moreover, Lu Bu only vigorously publicized his killing of Dong Zhuo and marrying the princess, but not many people knew that he was going to become the shepherd of Xuzhou.
"Quick! Go to the back and tell Yun Chang to come to the front as soon as possible!" Liu Bei did not dare to neglect and galloped forward on his horse.
Zhao Yun also hurriedly chased after him.
----
But it was said that Lu Bu led 2,000 people and marched all the way to Beihai.
When they reached a three-way intersection, they saw a group of people walking on the left side of the road.
Lu Bu, Dian Wei and others rushed forward to see what was going on, and saw Zhang Fei with a beard galloping towards him on horseback!
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Bu, then pointed at Lu Bu with his eight-foot-long snake spear and said, "Slave of the third surname! You actually ambush your Grandpa Zhang here!"
Lu Bu laughed ferociously: "Pork Zhang! It's been a long time, I hope you're all right!"
Zhang Fei was furious after hearing this: "Hey! Lu Bu! Who are you calling Pork Zhang?"
Lu Bu looked innocent: "Huh? Didn't you start your business by selling pork? Why, is it wrong to call you Pork Zhang? Then I will call you Pork Fei? Fei Pork?"
Zhang Fei was so angry that his eyes widened, he screamed weirdly, and shouted "Lü Bu kid! Take your life!" and rushed forward.
"Third brother! Third brother, don't be impulsive!"
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Liu Bei's shout came from afar.
Zhang Fei did not act rashly.
He also knew that he couldn't defeat Lu Bu at all...
"Brother! These three slaves are blocking our way! I'm just going to show him some color!" Zhang Fei said.
Liu Bei reined in his horse, raised his hands to Lu Bu and said, "General Lu, you are so polite. I heard that the general killed Dong Zhuo out of righteousness, Liu Bei admires him!"
This time we are leading troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai. Please give the general a favor and get out of the way! "
Lu Bu laughed and said, "Straw Shoes Liu! Are you being a little unreasonable? I was here first, why should I give way to you?"
Zhang Fei became even more angry: "Brother! Did you hear that? He called you Straw Sandals Liu! He actually called you Straw Sandals Liu! He just called me Pork Zhang!"
Liu Bei's face was as dark as water and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu, in the battle of Hulao Pass, we were each our own masters. Today I don't want to have a dispute with you. Why do you want to insult me with such words?"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "Hey, Liu Bei, they all say you are an open-minded person, why are you so narrow-minded?
We Bingzhou people all call people this way. The occupation comes first and the surname comes last. It’s simple and clear. What’s wrong with that?
Let me ask you, are you a person who makes and sells straw sandals?
And Pork Zhang, are you a pork seller?
I'm not cursing, but I'm talking about pork. Open your mouth and shut up. What do you mean by the three surnamed domestic slaves?
The emperor has already told the world that I only recognized the thief as my father in order to kill Dong Zhuo. You are not done yet, are you?
Maybe if you scold me, it would be disrespectful if I call you "straw sandals Liu Zhu Zhu Zhang"?
Straw sandals Liu, straw sandals Liu, you really have a double standard! "
"You and I……"
Lu Bu's words were well-founded, and Liu Bei was so stunned that he didn't know how to answer.
Bingzhou really calls people that?
But the name Straw Sandals Liu really doesn’t sound good!
Liu Bei didn't know how to respond, and Zhang Fei didn't even know.
I had no choice but to scream strangely: "Brother, don't talk nonsense to him, let my snake spear teach him how to talk!"
Zhao Yun on the side has long wanted to show off his kung fu in front of Liu Bei.
I had heard about Lu Bu's kung fu a long time ago, and wanted to see it.
Because he said: "Brother Liu, let me learn how powerful Lu Bu is!"
After that, without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, he galloped out and rushed out.
Dian Wei, who was beside Lu Bu, also wanted to show off his skills in front of the new lord, so he said, "My lord! Let me meet this pretty boy for a while!"
But Lu Bu waved his hand and asked, "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Zhao Yun raised his hands on the horse and said, "I am Zhao Yun, and I am here to learn General Lu's halberd technique!"
"Changshan Zhao Zilong?" Lu Bu couldn't help being stunned.
Zhao Yun was a little surprised when Lu Bu directly told him his place of origin and surname: "Yes, it's me!"
Lu Bu smiled: "I've admired you for a long time, so let's learn from each other today!"
As he spoke, he urged the red rabbit horse on his hip and rushed out with Fang Tian's painted halberd.
