The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 85 Liu Bei is here
In a blink of an eye, Cheng Yuanzhi had already stayed in Wuji County for more than half a month.

Every day I stay among women, I feel that my vigor is getting less and less, and my whole person is a little soft.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, suddenly some unexpected guests came to the village.

Liu Guan and Zhang three brothers.

Liu Bei is currently besieging Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju with Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Originally, after the Yellow Turban was pacified, he was awarded the title of Anxi County Captain for his meritorious service, and his childhood was not to mention how beautiful it is.

Later, Cheng Yuanzhi led an army to Changshan to rob grain. Zang Min, the Prime Minister of Zhongshan at the time, sent troops to rescue, and at the same time ordered Anxi County (a county under Zhongshan) Lieutenant Liu Bei to lead troops to help.

Just at the right time, civil unrest broke out in Anxi County, and Liu Bei couldn't escape.Later, Zang Min was besieged by soldiers outside Changshan City for ten days, so he hated Liu Bei, so he sent Duyou to provoke him.

Liu Bei was so angry that he whipped Duyou, hung his seal and defected to Liu Yan.

Later, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, Liu Yan left, Liu Yu came, and Liu Bei continued to stay in Youzhou to help him put down the rebellion.

This time I came to Zhen's house because I wanted to borrow some weapons and food.

As soon as they met, Liu Bei still politely exchanged a few words with Cheng Yuanzhi,

But when he heard that the other party was Yuan She, the madman of Yunmeng, his expression changed drastically, and he was in a bad mood.

He felt that "Yuan She" was targeting him!
At the beginning, he did well as a county lieutenant in Anxi County, but it was because this guy came to Changshan to rob grain that he failed to dispatch troops quickly, so he was hated by the Prime Minister Zang Min and lost his position.

After finally hiding in Youzhou, he became a riding captain and came to Zhen's house to borrow some things, but unexpectedly, he ran into him again.

These are all tolerable,

Two days ago, he saw a talented man named Zhao Yun under Gongsun Zan's command, and he admired Gongsun Zan and Yuan She very much.

Judging from his expression and words, he admired Gongsun and Yuan quite a lot.

Liu Bei was even more depressed immediately, and before he had time to recruit Zhao Yun, Yuan She gave him the advantage.

Moreover, when Zhao Yun knew that he meant to recruit, his eyes clearly said: "Xuande, I am now Gongsun Zan's subordinate. If I leave Gongsun Zan, I will go to join Yuan She. If they both die, I will go to Yuan She." I will go to you.

Next time, ah no, I will definitely vote for you next time.

Liu Bei felt some liver pain.

But he is a hero after all, he can endure what ordinary people can't, he quickly calmed down, and said politely: "Bei has heard the name of Gongtai for a long time, and seeing it today, it is indeed true."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the very temperamental, heroic and majestic Liu Bei three brothers, and said against his will: "Hey, Xuande is too famous, and I often hear the name of Zhuojun Sanying, which is like thunder."

Hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his beard arrogantly, raised his head to the right and looked at the sky thirty degrees.

There was also a hint of friendliness in Zhang Fei's big copper bell-like eyeballs.

Liu Bei said cheerfully, "I don't know why you came here, brother?"

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand and asked without answering, "What about you, Xuande?"

"Uh, Bei is now Liu Yu and Liu Youzhou's cavalry captain, leading his troops to help him put down the rebellion. There is a shortage of food, grass and military equipment. That's why he came here today."

Everyone in Liu Bei's words took it for granted.It seems to be saying: I came to the Zhen family to borrow food to save the Zhen family's face, don't be ignorant of good and evil!

Quickly and happily, take out all the food, grass and equipment.

Mrs. Zhang looked helplessly at Cheng Yuanzhi, her eyes seemed to say: Look, there is another autumn wind blower.

If this continues, the Zhen family will end sooner or later.

Cheng Yuanzhi coughed and murmured, "Xuande came late. All the money and food from the Zhen family had been donated to Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang a few days ago to help him wipe out the Baibo bandits. Zhang Yang was grateful for his kindness, so he sent three thousand Jingqi stationed in the well..."

Smart people don't need to be so transparent when they speak.

While Liu Bei was stunned, he instantly understood the meaning behind the words.

In other words, it was not a coincidence that he came here at this moment, the money and food were gone, and Zhang Yang also sent three thousand elites nearby to protect the Zhen family.

The Zhen family is not afraid of the literary ones, nor the martial ones.

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed and said: "Xuande, I'm telling you the truth, in fact, I came here to borrow food, and now I have nothing."

"Why don't you ask Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, famous merchants in Zhongshan? They may still have a lot of money."


As soon as this remark came out, Liu Bei's face was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yuanzhi asked: "Xuande, is this inappropriate?"

"Inappropriate!" Liu Bei sighed, "Su and Zhang have disappeared since they gave me 500 taels of gold and silver, fifty fine horses, and a thousand catties of iron."

"..."

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't answer the words, his mind was full of thoughts.

500 taels of gold and silver, [-] good horses, and [-] catties of iron and steel. Even the Zhen family would feel a little bit pained to take out these things all at once.

The most precious thing here is the iron, which is the best quality iron. Liu Bei's double-strand sword, Guan Yu's glamorous saw, and Zhang Fei's Zhangba spear are all forged from it.

Among other things, Zhang Fei is rich enough. He doesn't even have fifty good horses in his family, and his family resources are only enough to recruit five hundred soldiers, not even one or two tins of iron.

It can be seen from this that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping paid a lot of money.

Then ask for nothing in return?No news?
Could it be that he was blacked out by black people?
Then think of the rewards obtained after the Mi family in Xuzhou went bankrupt and funded Liu Bei, the rewards obtained after the Zhen family in Jizhou funded Yuan Shao, and the rewards obtained after the Chen Liuwei family funded Cao Cao.

What are Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping planning?

How could I never meet such a prodigal businessman!
Regardless of people in this era or later generations, when evaluating Liu Bei, they all say that he is a hero.

What is a hero?

In ancient Chinese legends, there are four most evil birds—evil, lewd, vicious, and poisonous.

Poisonous birds are doves; murderous birds are falcons; prostitutes are bustards.

And the owl is the number one evil bird.

Why is it number one?
Because the owl started to eat his mother as soon as he was born, and the mother was in too much pain, he would bite a branch in his mouth, and the owl kept eating and eating until he ate all of his mother and engulfed his mother It's officially grown when it leaves that twig in its mouth.

The evil of this kind of behavior far exceeds the poison of the dove, the promiscuity of the bustard, and the cruelty of the falcon. It is the only bird among the four birds that can be said to be against the laws of nature, so it takes the lead in the list of evils.

It can be seen from this that Xiongxiong is an outright derogatory term, describing those ungrateful, extremely vicious people who can endure what ordinary people cannot bear.

Liu Bei looked at Mrs. Zhang and said earnestly: "Bei came to Zhongshan this time for two reasons. One is to seek help from the Zhen family. Since the Zhen family has no money left, Bei will talk about the second thing."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang looked very resistant.

Cheng Yuanzhi resisted even more, and almost walked away.

Liu Daer came to the door, can something good happen?

When he rescued Beihai, Kong Rong lost his position as prefect of Beihai and was recalled to the capital. Not long after that, Kong Rong was chopped off by Cao Cao.

He saved Xuzhou, Tao Qian died first, and Xuzhou was lost later.

He voted for Lu Bu, and the city of Lu Bu was destroyed, and Xuzhou changed hands.

He was forced to defect to Cao Cao.Xi Cheng, Ma Teng, and Ji Ping were all dead. Except for him, the people who signed the belt edict were all dead.

He voted for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Jizhou changed hands.

He surrendered to Liu Biao, Liu Biao died, and Jingzhou changed hands.

Going to Xichuan, Liu Zhang surrendered, and Yizhou changed hands.

How is this different from the owl bird?

He is extremely unknown!

And now he came to Zhen's house...

Stay away from me... Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at Liu Bei with disgust, then at Sugai who was beside the guard, and calmed down a little.

Immediately he shirked and said: "Xuande, let's not talk about the second one."

We don't want to hear it.

Get out!
Liu Bei didn't seem to notice the embarrassment, and he said in a daze, "Just now what Gongtai said, there are [-] elite cavalry at Jingjing Pass. I wonder if you can talk to the generals here?"

"Liu Youzhou was ordered to put down Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, and the troops just don't have enough troops. With the help of these three thousand elites, we can break the bandits with just a snap of our fingers!"

What the hell!

You are enough!

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hands again and again: "I can't speak."

Liu Bei asked again: "Can the public platform recommend one or two?"

"I don't know this person." Cheng Yuanzhi directly rejected all possibilities.


Liu Bei turned to Zhang, his eyes full of expectation.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly shook her head.

The atmosphere is awkward.

Zhang Fei was impatient, and when he saw this, he said angrily: "Brother, what are we begging for such a cold-blooded profiteer? Let's go!"

Cold-blooded profiteer?

Good guy, have you started moral kidnapping if blackmail fails?
Sugai was also very violent, he stared and said angrily: "Hey! Why do you hurt people with your mouth, do you want to fight?"

"Hit it! Come on, come on...you come here."

Zhang Fei prepared to go to an empty place to fight.

Liu Bei quickly stretched out his hand to block Zhang Fei and said to Zhang:
"Excuse me, excuse me, farewell!"

Then he and Guan Yu supported Zhang Fei and left in a hurry.

When he was about to leave, Zhang Fei was still struggling fiercely and shouted, "Hey, big brother and second brother, what are you doing to stop me? Today I will let that stupid big man try my old fist..."

The hustle and bustle dissipated, and the yard became quiet.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked directly at Zhang Shi and said, "Madam, I have a word."

Mrs. Zhang bowed her knees and saluted, "Sir, please tell me."

"In the past one or two years, madam has shrunk the Zhen family's business to Jizhou."

"The old man will always remember the teachings of the young master."

The two looked at each other, and both read what they wanted from each other's eyes.

From this moment on, the Yuan and Zhen families have truly formed an alliance.
