Chapter 310 The names of the three heroes are still the same as before
Xinye was established as a county around the early Western Han Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years.
Xinye County is located in the center of Nanyang County, with Wan and Luo to the north and Jing and Xiang to the south. Since ancient times, it has been a water and land transportation hub where north and south meet and connects east and west.
If the geographical location of Xinye hadn't been so special, Liu Biao would not have allowed Liu Bei to lead his troops to garrison here.
Under hundreds of years of historical changes, coupled with Xinye's superior geographical location, Xinye had already developed into a large county by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because of this, when Liu Bei was trapped in Xinye City, although his territory was not large, he was able to continue to accumulate strength with the assistance of a group of talents.
And Xinye also has a special meaning to the big man.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu raised troops in Xinye, visited Deng Yu, captured Cen Peng, and finally restored the Han Dynasty and the country;
In this life, Emperor Zhangwu and Liu Bei stationed troops in new areas, invited Zhuge to gather people's hearts, and finally reopened the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that Xinye is the birthplace of Guangwu Zhongxing and the birthplace of Jihan regime.
It's just that such an important place was included in the Wei army's sphere of influence after Liu Bei led his army south.
But just a dozen years after Xinye left the embrace of the Han Dynasty, a spectacular Han fleet flying crimson flags began to appear in the Yushui River in Xinye.
There are many rivers in Nanyang County, and Xinye and Fancheng are connected by Yushui, a tributary of Han River.
The river channel of Yushui is not wide, and generally it is difficult for too many troops to drive warships in it.
But now it is the spring flood season of the Han River, and the flow of the Han River is becoming more and more abundant as time goes by.
In addition, there were not many Han naval forces appearing outside Xinye City this time, only more than ten thousand.
This is not due to Liu Bei's fault, but after the war, most of the Han army was in urgent need of repairs.
So this time he brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the outside of Xinye City, and only brought 10,000 Han troops with him.
Ten thousand Han troops may not sound like much, but judging from the current actual situation, it is already too much for the Wei army defenders in Xinye City.
Under normal circumstances, when surrounded by enemy cities, even Guan Yu would not easily lead tens of thousands of Han troops to the center of Nanyang County.
But at present, the Han army has just won a hearty victory. This victory not only made the morale of the Han army very high.
In one battle, all the Wei army's field troops south of Xinye were almost defeated.
Under such circumstances, why did the Han army dare not?
What's more, when the banners of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang all appeared in the first army, this kind of prestige and intimidation was enough to withstand the arrival of tens of thousands of Han troops.
It was precisely because of this that when more than ten thousand Han troops led by the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang appeared on the Yushui River outside Xinye City.
Wei's new field order not only failed to lead the county soldiers with low combat effectiveness, but also a small number of county soldiers came out of the city to attack the Han army halfway across the river.
Instead, he decisively packed away the gold and silver in advance and led his family to escape from Xinye City.
Not everyone is a favorite.
What's more, even though it was Man Chong who was guarding Xinye now, in the face of that dignified victory in which the Han army won with force, Man Chong would have retreated in his heart.
After this battle, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei was not some despised small country in the south, but the Zhengshuo of Han Dynasty that was qualified to be compared with the Wei Dynasty.
And such a scene does not only appear in Xinye City.
Many Wei county magistrates south of Xinye learned that their side was defeated in the Battle of Xiangfan and saw more than 10,000 Han troops entering their counties.
Most of the county magistrates, at best, simply surrendered on the spot, while at worst, they abandoned the city and fled like the new wild magistrates.
After the Xinye Order fled Xinye, the leaderless Xinye was already in the possession of the Han army.
The Han army spent almost no effort and formally took over this important place, which was no less strategically important than Fancheng.
And just when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, under the protection of the Han army, each drove their war horses and walked toward the extremely familiar city in front of them, strong memories appeared on their faces.
Not only did the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang have such expressions, but even the people in Xinye City had expressions of joy and joy on their faces after learning that Liu Bei had become the master of Xinye again.
When Liu Bei led his army southward, although most of the Xinye people were willing to follow him southward, there were still some Xinye people who were unwilling to leave their homes.
Although those people who stayed in Xinye did not follow Liu Bei south, they still remembered Liu Bei's kindness to them in the past.
More than ten years are enough time for the next generation to grow up.
As for the young people who grew up around their elders, it can be said that they grew up listening to the rumors about Liu Bei's virtues and politics from their elders.
Under such circumstances, even though more than ten years have passed, Uncle Liu's virtues are still quietly spread in Xinye City.
Even if Cao Cao continued to move people from other counties later, this could not be changed.
After all, justice rests in the hearts of the people.
Most of the people who have not read books may not understand any great principles, let alone very profound principles.
But with a simple heart, they can clearly know who is really good to them, Liu Bei or Cao Cao.
Especially when Cao Wei's farming system has gradually become a cancer that persecutes the people.
So when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang rode into Xinye City, unlike other cities, the people in Xinye City did not hide in their homes in fear.
On the contrary, there were many brave people from the new field who gathered in front of their homes to watch Uncle Liu Huang who had always lived in the legend.
Most of the people in Xinye had never seen the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. In addition, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were surrounded by many Han soldiers holding shields, which made it even more difficult for them to clearly see the appearance of the three brothers.
It's just that some things may be gradually forgotten by people as time goes by and as the parties involved continue to leave, but those things will not disappear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most of the people in Xinye who were immersed in Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's good governance died, but there are still some people who survive to this day.
People in later generations praised Zhuge Liang's good governance in Shu, but during the Three Kingdoms period, the first people to enjoy this good governance were the people of Xinye.
In the virtuous government that the old men of Xinye cherished, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were the protagonists, but so were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who led the troops to guard Xinye at that time.
So when the three protagonists who had beautiful expectations in their hearts appeared again in the eyes of the old people in the new field.
Although most of them are old and dim, even though the figures of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were obscured by the Han army, they could not distinguish them carefully.
But they still immediately recognized these three heroes who had left so many stories in Xinye.
When an old and vibrating "Uncle Liu Huang" appeared in the crowd of people in Xinye, more and more spontaneous shouts from the heart began to resound on both sides of the streets in Xinye.
At the end, tens of thousands of Han troops were drowned out by cheering shouts of "Uncle Liu Huang".
After more than ten years, the whole city of Xinye heard about Uncle Liu Huang again today.
Because Cao Wei deliberately suppressed the news, the people in Xinye City did not know that Liu Bei had proclaimed himself emperor.
But even if they knew it, these three words would probably be what they wanted to shout out the most.
It is still unknown whether Uncle Liu Huang is loyal to the world, but in this Xinye City, he really has the support of the people that is unmatched by ordinary people.
After hearing these deafening shouts, the faces of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang showed joy.
At this time, there was a warm current surging in the hearts of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
This warm current even caused Guan Yu's body, which was increasingly afraid of the cold, to slowly regain some warmth.
Guan Yu, whose whole body was wrapped in fur to keep out the cold, looked at Liu Bei with joy and said:
"Brother, it seems that the people of Xinye have not forgotten us."
Hearing what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei also showed a look of approval on his face.
But Liu Bei did not indulge in the bursts of people's shouts that Cao Cao had never enjoyed before. He just looked at Guan Yu with eyes full of memories.
Then he lightly raised the riding crop in his hand, pointed to a mansion in front of him and said, "It's right there, we're almost there."
Following Liu Bei's actions, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked towards the mansion Liu Bei pointed to.
When they saw the mansion, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes showed joy.
That mansion was Liu Bei's original residence in Xinye, and Taoyuan, the destination of the three brothers' trip, was located in that mansion.
Seeing that they were not far away from the mansion, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became energetic.
They must enter the peach orchard in their best condition.
Led by horses, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang soon arrived outside the mansion.
Before the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang arrived outside the mansion, Han troops had already entered to investigate the internal situation in detail.
So when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang arrived outside the mansion, they all jumped off their horses and hurried toward the mansion.
Since we are brothers, we should live together.
This mansion was Liu Bei's residence, but it was also the residence of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were very familiar with the internal layout of this mansion.
Without the guidance of guards, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang walked through several corridors and arrived at a vast peach garden.
It’s the New Year, and it’s the season when peach blossoms thrive.
So when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang came outside the peach garden, what they saw was a large area of magnificent peach blossoms in full bloom.
A faint fragrance of peach blossoms instantly filled their nostrils.
Because there are many peach trees planted in peach orchards, there is not just one variety.
So at this time, in this peach orchard, countless pink and white peach blossoms are growing together, almost covering the entire sky of this peach orchard.
The winter sunshine fell loosely on the peach orchard through the gaps between the sparse tree branches, adding a lot of tranquility and tranquility to the peach orchard in front of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.
When he saw the scene in front of him that had always existed in his dream, Zhang Fei, who had the most straightforward temperament, immediately burst into laughter.
He took off his cloak and threw it aside casually, then strode towards the peach garden.
In this peach orchard, there are many trees that were planted by the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang themselves.
Therefore, when Zhang Fei came to this peach garden, he felt as comfortable as coming to his home in Zhuojun.
It's just that Zhang Fei's loud laughter, with his majestic voice, seemed very abrupt in this quiet peach garden.
His loud laughter scared many birds that were attached to the peach trees and flew into the air and began to escape from the peach orchard.
For a time, the peach orchard was filled with the chirping of spring birds.
Although these bursts of chirping may sound noisy to ordinary people, when they fell in Zhang Fei's ears, the joy on his face became more and more intense.
The peach blossoms that dazzled people's eyes, the spring birds that kept chirping, and the two brothers standing behind him, this peach orchard could overlap with the place in his dreamland.
However, Zhang Fei felt that there was still one thing missing from the current beautiful scenery.
That is fine wine.
When Zhang Fei was walking along the path in the Taoyuan towards the depths of the Taoyuan, several personal guards were following behind him.
When Zhang Fei followed the path to the depths of the peach garden, Zhang Fei pointed at one point and ordered the guards behind him to place the objects they carried on the colorful grassland one by one.
There are not many of these items, the main ones are three, which are fine wine, stove, and food table.
Under Zhang Fei's command, several personal guards quickly arranged the drinking objects in order, and then they exited the peach garden at Zhang Fei's signal.
After these personal guards retreated, Liu Bei and Guan Yu had already arrived behind Zhang Fei.
After seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu arriving, Zhang Fei did not call them brothers as usual. He just called: "Xuande, Yun Chang, can you sit down and drink with Fei?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Fei’s words instantly brought the memories of Liu Bei and Guan Yu back to the peach garden in Zhuo County decades ago.
On that day, Sanying and Zhuoxianzhong met for the first time, but they had not yet become sworn friends.
On that day, there were disputes among the three heroes because of their different personalities.
But it was also on that day that the three heroes who had the same ambitions made a vow to each other until death.
Although that day has been separated by decades, no one among the three heroes has forgotten everything that happened on that day.
Some things can never be forgotten.
When Liu Bei and Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei calling them that, they didn't know what Zhang Fei was thinking.
Zhang Fei, who has always been rough on the outside but very careful on the inside, knew that this might be the last time his three brothers would drink together.
Facing this reality, Zhang Fei was manic, sad and angry, and even prayed feebly.
But after all the intense emotions, Zhang Fei only had one thought in his mind.
That is to let Guan Yu leave with no regrets and full of happiness.
And for the three brothers, no matter how beautiful the days are, can they compare to the day when they became sworn brothers?
Zhang Fei has always been the younger brother, and has been mentored and cared for by his two elder brothers for decades.
But let him be the "master" again today, just like he was in the Taoyuan at his home.
After Liu Bei and Guan Yu understood what Zhang Fei meant, they looked at each other and smiled.
Then Liu Bei and Guan Yu both bowed to Zhang Fei and said, "Since the owner of the garden has invited you, it would be better for the two of us to obey him."
After Liu Bei and Guan Yu finished saying this, they slowly sat on the grass full of peach blossoms under Zhang Fei's gaze.
After seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu sitting down, Zhang Fei sat on the ground on the peach blossoms without any hesitation.
After the three heroes sat down, their eyes kept moving on each other.
Because the surrounding environment was so similar to that of the past, while the peach blossoms kept falling from the trees, which confused Sanying's eyes, it seemed to disturb their thoughts about each other even more.
At this time, in their eyes, the two brothers sitting opposite each other were no longer white-haired old men, but young men with black hair and full of vitality.
The one who was in this peach garden that day was not the Han Emperor Liu Bei, the Han General Guan Yu, or the Han Chariot General Zhang Fei.
They are three aspiring young people who share the same goals and want to help the Han Dynasty together.
