Jizhou.Yimu County.

After being ridiculed by Gongsun Yue, Zhang Fei, who was left disheveled in the wind, completely exploded, eyes wide open, pointing at Gongsun Yue's back and yelling curses.

"You bitch..."

"Third brother, shut up!"

Liu Bei, whose face turned dark, suddenly turned around and shouted angrily at Zhang Fei, who was about to curse.

"Uh!"

The red-faced man on the side saw that Liu Bei, who had always kept his emotions secret, was angry. He was a little startled and hurriedly came out to be a good person. He pulled Zhang Fei's sleeve and advised him to "be a good boy".

"Third brother, don't make it difficult for me and make you angry!"

While persuading Zhang Fei, whose chest and abdomen were undulating like waves, he glanced at Liu Bei, whose face was gloomy and uncertain. Guan Yu, who was usually taciturn, tried his best to think of words to persuade the two of them.

"This..."

Liu Bei felt that he had spoken harshly to Zhang Fei just now, and he felt a trace of regret in his heart, but he was not convinced. He looked at Zhang Fei's slightly disappointed look with a pair of melancholy eyes, and was speechless for a moment.

"Alas, I, Liu Bei, am incompetent!"

Due to his brother's incomprehension, Gongsun Yue's ridicule, and the fact that this period of time was not going well, Liu Bei, who was unable to vent his depression, broke out in an instant, turned around and looked up to the sky and sighed.

"After many years of wasted time, I finally got a captain in Anxi County, but was expelled by the postal governor; I traveled to Gaotang, but faced the looting of the Yellow Turban rebels, and lost the city and territory. Now I am like a lost dog, and my two good brothers have been affected.

, this is all a mistake!"

Liu Bei, who was already in tears, suddenly turned around and with a "pop", he knelt down towards Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"It's the eldest brother who has betrayed these two wise brothers!"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who had originally complained about Liu Bei because of Gongsun Yue's incident, were horrified when they saw Liu Bei's behavior. They both fell to Liu Bei's side, held Liu Bei's arms, and shouted loudly.

"Brother, what are you doing? You're trying to hurt me!"

"Brother, I'm wrong!"

Liu Bei's sudden kneeling instantly made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's dissatisfaction and resentment disappear.

Especially Liu Bei burst into tears and made some tearful words of self-blame, which made Guan and Zhang even more heartbroken.

"Big brother, no matter how hard it is, the two younger brothers will always follow him without any regrets and never leave!"

Liu Bei looked frustrated with tears in his eyes. He looked at Guan Yu from the left and Zhang Fei from the right. He ignored the tears and snot flowing all over his face and just nodded.

"Losing the city and losing the land will definitely not be tolerated by the court. For this plan, our brothers can only temporarily surrender to Gongsun Bogui, participate in the annihilation of Zhang Chun, and raise Zhang's traitors, so that we can have a chance to make a comeback!"

Liu Bei, who looked "extremely sad", timely explained to the two brothers.

"Therefore, if you stay under someone else's roof at this time, you must not offend Gongsun Yue and his like!"

After listening to Liu Bei's sincere words and sincere instructions, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and nodded firmly to Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will listen to my little brother!"

"I listen to my elder brother. He told me to fly to the west, but I will never go east!"

Liu Bei, whose eyes were filled with tears, was very pleased after hearing the statements of Guan and Zhang. He looked at Zhang Fei with a pair of deep eyes "sincerely".

"Third brother, eldest brother lost his composure just now and spoke in a harsh tone. Don't ever bear a grudge against eldest brother!"

Zhang Fei was so uncomfortable with Liu Bei's gaze that he even secretly got goosebumps. He hurriedly helped Liu Bei stand up, taking the opportunity to hide his discomfort.

"Big...brother, it's my younger brother who is being reckless!"

Zhang Fei, who was already dark-faced, turned dark. When Guan Yu glanced at him, he didn't dare to look directly at him and squirmed to dodge.

"Seeing how embarrassed my third brother is, the resentment in my heart must have disappeared!"

Zhang Fei's expression fell into Guan Yu's eyes. Guan Yu didn't think much about it and just thought that Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed by Liu Bei's words.

"Hey, that's not right!"

Zhang Fei, who felt that he had just overlooked something, changed his expression again, and quickly turned to look at Liu Bei suspiciously.

"Brother, didn't you say that it was Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju who conquered Gaotang County? Why did they become Yellow Turbans again?"

Guan Yu was startled and looked at Liu Bei in confusion. If Zhang Fei hadn't mentioned it, he would have ignored Liu Bei's rhetoric.

"Alas!"

Liu Bei held Zhang Fei's and Guan Yu's arms, one in each hand, and watched them respectively for a while, feeling very helpless.

"These two people are brave enough, but their minds are a bit simple!"

Liu Bei turned his eyes to Gongsun Yue and his entourage who were meandering to transport the Han army, and sighed.

"Second brother, third brother, the eldest brother said earlier that Gaotang County was conquered by Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebels. That was for the Luoyang court and the world to hear. But we three brothers must know it well and cannot deceive ourselves.

!"

Worried that the two of them did not understand the stakes, Liu Bei explained it in detail.

"At the moment, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebel forces were strong, and they were assisted by the Wuhuan people. They gathered tens of thousands of troops and looted the three states of You, Qing, and Ji. King Wuhuan Qiao and other 50,000 troops attacked Ganling County and Pingyuan County.

In the area on the north bank of the river, officials and people were killed, and the imperial court must have been aware of its power."

"We failed to defend Gaotang County this time. Only by blaming Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's traitors for the city's destruction will the imperial court not blame our brothers too much."

"If the imperial court knew that those who attacked Gaotang City were Qingzhou local bandits, this would be a serious crime!"

Zhang Fei understood, but still scratched his head, feeling that Liu Bei's words were a bit deceptive.

"Brother, are you taking it for granted?"

"Not all the princes in the court are blind, they are not so easy to deceive!"

Guan Yu is not a stupid person who only thinks about muscles. He just doesn't want to use his brain. After listening to Liu Bei's words, his eyebrows twitched and he was filled with worry.

"Brother, there are many county officials who know their surnames, wouldn't they tell Luoyang?"

Staring at Liu Bei who was unwilling but helpless, Zhang Fei reminded him again.

"There is also the Gao family. If you don't deal with the eldest brother, the Gao family is a powerful man in Gaotang and has a close relationship with Zhang Rang, the Shichang minister. He will definitely wait for an opportunity to report the news!"

It's okay not to mention this. As soon as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu mentioned Gaotang County officials and the powerful Gao family, Liu Bei gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

"Two worthy brothers, even if Gaotang County is really conquered by Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebels, the Gao family who wants to drive us three foreigners away will still say it is the work of Yellow Turban bandits!"<

/p>

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were both stunned when they heard this. Their two big faces, one black and one red, looked at each other and looked at Liu Bei doubtfully.

"Isn't this referring to a deer as a horse?"

"Aren't you worried about what happened?"

Liu Bei snorted coldly. With Gao's network of connections in the court, he has nothing to worry about. To put it bluntly, Gao's words are more effective than a big man pretending to be a member of the Han clan.

However, Liu Bei did not explain to the two brothers, but told the truth about the destruction of Gaotang City.

"Two worthy brothers, this time the Yellow Turban thieves broke into the city, my eldest brother suspected that there were officials from Gaotang County, and the Gao family was acting as an insider!"

Liu Bei's words once again fell into the ears of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They were no longer shocked and confused, but dumbfounded and shocked.

"Why do they do this?"

"What's in it for them?"

Liu Bei, who was a little disappointed in his heart, looked at Guan and Zhang and secretly shook his head. He had spoken to this extent, but the two of them hadn't heard the mystery behind it.

"After all, he is a common man. He is a good at fighting and killing, making suggestions, and playing tricks like an idiot!"

Liu Bei suddenly thought of his young friend Jian Yong, a man with a simple and direct temperament, informal and eloquent and wise.

"If it were Xianhe, he would have seen through Gao's intentions!"

Disappointed, Liu Bei still explained it to Guan and Zhang.

"Two worthy brothers, the Gao family, who has occupied the positions of Gaotang County Captain and Postal Supervisor, are thinking about the Gaotang Order!"

"This is also the reason why eldest brother wants to take you to leave Qingzhou and join Gongsun Bogui!"

Liu Bei's calculation was very shrewd. Since the Gao family secretly asked him, an outsider, to move to his home, it would be easier to get together and disperse, but Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju must be blamed for the destruction of the city.

"Hey, you thieves, you are seeking profit, but I, Liu Bei, must also care about my reputation!"

Just now Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was worried that the Gaotang County officials would reveal the truth about the fall of Gaotang City to Luoyang, but Liu Bei was not worried at all.
