Chapter 35 Mutual Benefit

Liu Bei's expression remained unmoved, his clenched fists slowly relaxed and he did not say anything. He would never give up easily before he heard the news from Zhang Jun.

Not far away, Gao Cheng knelt behind the wooden table, slowly holding the wine bottle and drinking, looking at Liu, Guan and Zhang with his eyes. At this time, Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers were still at the trough of their lives. The three of them were strong, but if they did not rely on others, they would have no chance to strengthen their power.

Liu Bei claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a relative of the Han Dynasty, but King Jing of Zhongshan was a royal family in the Western Han Dynasty, and was only several generations away from Emperor Shizu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The scriptures say that the saint's beheaded for five generations. Liu Bei was more than five generations away from the current royal family. The status of the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan could not bring him too many benefits before the Han Dynasty's royal family's reputation had declined.

Gao Cheng said in his heart: "Liu Bei's status is too low, and it is extremely difficult to become a prince. At this time, they are at a low point. If I go to Lujiang to take office, if I lack strong personnel under my command, I can recruit three people and use their power."

Yes, what Gao Cheng is thinking now is to let the three of them do their jobs for themselves while the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang have not yet risen. Lujiang has mountains and rivers, including water pirates, mountain barbarians, and tyrants who are not subject to discipline. Gao Cheng's status is not high, and these people will definitely not be convinced when they see the new prefect so young.

Gao Cheng has now established the first level of innateness, with strong strength and great mental power. Of course, he has the ability to deal with these people, but apart from him, Lu Dai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and Xu Xuan have not yet broken through the extraordinary realm. After taking office, you can't let Gao Cheng, the prefect do everything by himself, right?

Liu Bei is an extraordinary strong man in the Soul Refining Realm, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are super powerful generals at the seventh level of Refining Gang, and the three of them lost their official position and fled. As long as Gao Cheng is willing to give them a chance, the three of them will definitely agree.

Liu Bei has great ambitions and will not stay with others for a long time. Gao Cheng understood this and would not naively think that it would make Liu, Guan and Zhang completely surrender to him.

He only needs Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to temporarily use it for themselves. By then, Lujiang County will stabilize and Gao Cheng will lose a lot of trouble, and Liu, Guan and Zhang will also be able to embark on their careers again with their merits, with the best of both worlds and mutual benefit.

At this time, an uproar suddenly came from the Ningwu Restaurant outside. The sounds of many children from aristocratic families were mixed, and Gao Cheng and Liu Bei could hear the sounds made by these people from afar.

"No, Zhang Jun angered His Majesty and had been sentenced to imperial prison!"

"Hey, I knew that the Ten Constellations were in the court, and if they wanted to eliminate the eunuchs, only a hero in the world like Yuan Benchu ​​would be able to do so. Zhang Jun was upright but had a weak power. How could he be the opponent of the Ten Constellations!"

Gao Cheng and Liu Bei were very sensitive and looked different when they heard the discussions of the children of those aristocratic families.

Liu Bei remained silent. After waiting for a while, he slapped his right hand on the wooden table, stood up with a bang, breathed a deep breath, and said, "Second brother and third brother, let's go! Although Luoyang is big, it has no foothold for our brothers!"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and stood up with a faint expression. Zhang Fei asked, "Brother, where are we going to leave Luoyang?"

Liu Bei sighed. At this time, he remembered his senior brother Gongsun Zan who was also listening to the lecture under Lu Zhi. He heard that he had been promoted to the cavalry commander in Youzhou and had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. His power in Youzhou was not weak, and there was no way out. The three brothers could only go to Youzhou to surrender to this senior brother.

Gao Cheng saw that the three of them were about to leave, and immediately stood up and went forward and shouted, "Stop for three!"

Liu Bei turned his head and saw Gao Cheng, and his heart moved slightly. He had already cultivated his mental power to the extraordinary realm, and his five senses were very sensitive. He just discovered that Gao Cheng had hidden powerful spiritual power. At this age, he could cultivate to this realm, and he must be the elites of those aristocratic families.

When the three of them were about to leave, the other party spoke out to keep him. Could it be that he wanted to recruit the three of his brothers?

Gao Cheng saw the other party stopping and bowed and smiled, "Attacking the slightest disturbance, Gao Cheng from Xia Guangling, saw the appearance of the three generals who made great contributions in the rumors, so he wanted to get to know each other! The three virtuous brothers should be Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide, right?"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were slightly stunned when they heard this. Liu Bei's eyes flashed with light and bowed and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Gao had heard of the names of the three of us. It's not bad. Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande. These two are my sworn brothers Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide!"

No matter what the purpose of the person in front of him had, Liu Bei was ready to make friends with the other party. Anyway, the three of them had all the best at this time. Of course, the three of them had great ambitions and would never surrender to the children of aristocratic families to serve as slaves of the family.

Guan Yu saw the brocade robe on Gao Cheng's body, his eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. Zhang Fei showed a smile on his face. It was obvious that what Gao Cheng said just now made great contributions to breaking the Yellow Turban, which touched his mind.

Gao Cheng and Liu, Guan and Zhang exchanged names with each other, then found a quiet room, and four people knelt around the wooden table.

When the waiter re-drinks, Gao Cheng said: "As early in Yingchuan, I heard about Brother Xuande's name. Guan and Zhang are rare generals in the world. They once defeated the Yellow Turban thieves and made great contributions. Today, I am fortunate to meet three people. I am so excited to see three heroes. Brother Xuande, I will give you a cup!"

As he said that, Gao Cheng took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle, giving Liu Bei enough face. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at each other, and they had a little more affection for Gao Cheng.

With Liu Bei's forbearance and scheming, when he saw Gao Cheng's courtesy, he couldn't help but change his color slightly. He quickly raised the wine bottle and drank a glass of Gao Cheng.

After everyone drank a drink with each other, the originally stiff atmosphere slightly eased. Gao Cheng said, "I heard that the three of you were about to leave Luoyang just now? I wonder what's going on?"

Zhang Fei snorted when he heard this and said hatefully: "If it weren't for that shitty supervisor, my elder brother would still be a county magistrate in Anxi County, how could he come to Luoyang!"

Afterwards, Zhang Fei told the reasons and consequences of the three of them being removed from office, as well as the incident of Zhang Jun.

Gao Cheng's heart was moved secretly, but his face looked angry and said, "So that's it. Brother Xuande is so heroic. He should have led a large army to make achievements for the Han Dynasty, but was stabbed by those villains. This is really a place where heroes are useless!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were confident in their strength and believed that their elder brother Liu Bei had great abilities. The three of them were both literary and military, but they could not be used seriously. The two had already been holding a lot of anger in their hearts. They agreed with Gao Cheng's words.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Zi Ming is too famous. As long as he can serve the Han Dynasty, he will be satisfied and dare not expect to lead the army. He is a hero, so he is not ashamed to be a hero!"

Gao Cheng looked at the faces of the three of them, deliberately paused, and said, "If you don't want to stay in Luoyang, you have a suggestion. Not long ago, I made a small contribution and was recommended as the prefect of Lujiang. I will go to take office soon!"
