There was a trace of surprise on Liu Bei's face, and he hurriedly asked: "It turns out to be Gao Sima. I'm so polite. However, I led my troops here without informing Duke Lu first. I don't know how Duke Lu knew about my brother."
To come?"
Gao Fei said: "The visitor is a guest, not to mention that Liu Yingxiong has organized three hundred warriors from the countryside to come to help in the battle. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, not to mention that Liu Yingxiong is a nobleman of the Han Dynasty!"
"You kid, who are you? We have never met you before. How do you know everything about my eldest brother?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he reached out to grab Gao Fei's chest.
He asked loudly.
"Third brother, please don't be rude, stand down!" Liu Bei scolded.
"Humph!" Zhang Fei let go of Gao Fei and took two steps back, but kept staring at Gao Fei closely.
"Master Gao, my third brother's temper has always been like this. Please don't blame me and forgive my third brother's offense!" Liu Bei apologized.
Gao Fei chuckled, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, the three Taoyuan Three are sworn brothers, and they fought hard against the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou, repelling tens of thousands of rebels. This matter has already spread all over the country, so I know that it's still
Please don’t take offense to Liu Yingxiong!”
"Hey, it turns out you've heard about it too. I poked a hole in the thief leader's body with one spear, scaring the rest of the thief soldiers so much that they didn't dare to come near... I didn't expect this to spread so quickly, even before I, Lao Zhang, ran away.
It's faster. If Mr. Gao had said this earlier, I, Lao Zhang, wouldn't have been suspicious of you just now. I offended you so much. Please forgive me, Mr. Gao!" Zhang Fei stuck the spear in his hand on the ground and clasped his fists.
He bowed slightly to Gao Fei and said with an honest smile.
Gao Fei said: "It doesn't matter, the three heroes have come all the way, and Mr. Lu is also in the camp. Why don't you follow me to see Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu learns that the three heroes have come to help, he will definitely be very happy.
"
Liu Bei leaned forward and said: "I have prepared a commoner. I really don't deserve the word hero. You can just call me Xuande."
"Okay then! You are older than me, so I will call you Brother Xuande. Brother Xuande, please lead the troops into the camp!"
Liu Bei leaned forward again and said, "Sir, please wait here while I wait for my brothers to bring the troops."
Gao Fei said: "Well, I'm waiting for Brother Xuande at the gate of the camp."
Immediately they separated, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei turned back, mounted their horses and galloped back to where they had led Xiang Yong to stay.
"Brother, I didn't expect there to be such a cheerful person among the army. He is a good friend!" Guan Yu, who had been silent for the whole time, moved his lips slightly and uttered a sentence.
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Yes, brother, I, Zhang, like this guy too. He is much more cheerful than anyone I have ever seen with an official position, and he doesn't have the airs of being an official."
"What you two worthy brothers are saying is that this person told me about my life experience. Moreover, only a few people knew about the fact that I was waiting to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief in Youzhou. Even if someone knew about it, they would never do it so quickly.
It was passed here. This person saw the three of me arriving and seemed to be quite familiar with the three of us. If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few unreasonable things about this person..."
Zhang Fei curled his lips and said carelessly: "Brother is just too worried. I think this tall man is quite good..."
"Third brother, listen to elder brother. After entering the camp, everything needs to be restrained. Mr. Lu is my elder brother's mentor. You must not make a mistake in front of Mr. Lu!" Guan Yu said hurriedly when he saw Liu Bei frowning.
Zhang Fei shouted: "I know, I know, the second brother is getting more and more verbose. After I go in, I will pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?"
Guan Yu said: "You can pretend to be dumb, but you can't pretend to be deaf. You must listen carefully to Lu Gong's teachings!"
"I know." Zhang Fei said impatiently, "Brother, you see Master Gao is already waiting at the gate of the village. Let's hurry over!"
Liu Bei nodded, moved his hand forward, and shouted: "The whole army will follow me into the camp!"
After entering the camp, Gao Fei asked Lu Heng to take the three hundred warriors to rest for a while, while he took Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei directly towards the main tent of the Chinese army.
When they arrived at the main tent of the Chinese army, Gao Fei said to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "You three, wait here for a moment, let me go in and report."
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all clasped their fists toward Gao Fei and said, "Thank you!"
Gao Fei strode into the camp and saw Lu Zhi looking at the map. Before he could speak, he heard Lu Zhi say first: "Ziyu? You came just in time. Sima of the left army has been killed in the battle, and his subordinates of a thousand cavalry are temporarily
I will lead you, but now you have very few subordinates left. I want you to lead this cavalry, are you willing?"
Gao Fei cupped his fists and said: "Thank you for your love, sir. I will be grateful! Sir, three heroes came outside the tent. The leader is called Liu Bei. He said he is your student and he has brought three hundred local warriors to help our army fight against the thieves."
Soldiers..."
"Xuande? He's outside the tent? Let him in quickly!" Lu Zhi had a look of surprise on his face and interrupted Gao Fei before he could finish his words.
Gao Fei said "Promise" and walked out of the tent, bowing to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "You three, Mr. Lu wants to see you, please come with me!"
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei followed Gao Fei into the tent and worshiped Lu Zhi together: "See you, sir!"
When Lu Zhi saw Liu Bei, his expression did not appear to be very happy. Instead, he looked very calm. He glanced at Liu Bei and said slowly: "Xuande, why are you here?"
"As soon as the student heard that the master and the thieves were separated from each other by Guangzong, he hurriedly came from Youzhou. Although he led only 300 village warriors, he still hoped to do his part for the master."
Lu Zhi smiled, glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei, and said, "Who are these two heroes?"
Liu Bei said: "Sir, these two are sworn brothers of our students. The second brother is Guan Yu, whose courtesy name is Yunchang. The third brother is Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide... Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both brave enough to be worthy of all men, so they came here to serve Lu."
The second brother, the third brother, why don't you pay your respects to Mr. Lu soon!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately bowed and said: "Meet Lu Gong!"
Lu Zhi laughed twice, pulled Gao Fei over from his side, and said happily: "Two strong men, please excuse me. This is my former army Sima Gao Fei and Gao Ziyu, and he is also a rare member of my general."
A general who charges into battle and gallops across the battlefield can be said to be invincible!"
After Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei heard this, they all looked at Gao Fei with strange eyes. They all thought: "So this person is so important in Lu Gong's heart."
When Gao Fei heard what Lu Zhi said about him, he felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. In addition to knowing that he was a very brave young general, as for whether he could be compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then
Only after learning from each other will we know.
"Xuande, I have surrounded all the bandits in Guangzong, and will launch an attack on Guangzong in two days. Now there are many talents in our army, and there are no idle positions. Talents like you can stay here
I'm afraid I'm a little aggrieved here. Now Zhonglang General Huangfu Song is fighting with the bandit army in Yingchuan, and he lacks good soldiers and generals. I will support you with a thousand officers and troops, so you can go to Yingchuan to establish your merits!"
When Gao Fei heard this, he was shocked. He had the impression that Lu Zhi was Liu Bei's teacher. Logically speaking, the two people had a close friendship. However, Lu Zhi's words clearly meant to exclude guests. When he saw Liu Bei's expressionless face,
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei showed slightly angry expressions, and they immediately clasped their fists and said: "My lord, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all heroes in the world. If we can get help from the three of them in this attack on Guangzong, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Sir, please think twice!"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he immediately shouted: "Huh! You old man doesn't understand the style. My eldest brother brought us all the way here. It's okay if you don't stay with us, and you drive us out..."
"Third brother, shut up and don't be rude to Mr. Lu!" Liu Bei hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Fei and shouted loudly.
"Where did this wild man come from and dare to act wild here? Liu Bei, is this how you teach your younger brother?" Lu Zhi slapped the table in front of him and asked loudly.
"Sir, please calm down. My third brother Yide has a hot temper and I don't want to offend you. I have failed to teach you the right way, so I ask you to punish me." Liu Bei said, clasping his fists.
When Gao Fei saw this, he also cupped his fists and said: "Sir, I think this Zhang Yide is a white man and does not understand the rules of the army. Please show mercy to me outside the law."
"Third brother, quickly apologize to Mr. Lu!" Guan Yu tugged at the corner of Zhang Fei's clothes and whispered, "Don't embarrass me, hurry up!"
Zhang Fei had an angry look on his face and pretended to clasp his fists: "I have offended your lord. This matter has nothing to do with my eldest brother or my second brother. If you want to punish me, please punish me."
"My lord, I thought they had good intentions when they led the local warriors to help in the battle. If your lord punished Zhang Yide for saying something, and if word spread in the future, it would be very damaging to your reputation. Nowadays, most of my subordinates are fighting
We are short of people like Liu, Guan and Zhang, so why don't you just leave the three of them to help the general?" Gao Fei said hurriedly.
Lu Zhi thought for a while and felt that Gao Fei's words were reasonable, so he said: "Then according to your wishes, I will be temporarily incorporated into your subordinates and you will be responsible for commanding them. The army will attack the city in two days."
Gao Fei cupped his fists and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Liu Bei and Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei, and the three of them clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you so much, sir!"
Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go down first. The general still has a lot of official business to deal with."
"Promise! I'll leave now!" Gao Fei slowly exited the camp.
"I'll take my leave!" Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei replied in unison.
The four of them came out of the camp together, and Gao Fei said: "You three, it's almost noon now, how about I serve as the host and treat my three brothers to a drink?"
Zhang Fei was furious. When he heard about drinking, green light appeared in his eyes. He rubbed his hands and said happily: "Okay! I, Lao Zhang, haven't drank for many days. Since Mr. Gao wants to invite me, then I
Lao Zhang, it’s better to be respectful than to obey.”
Seeing Liu Bei's expressionless face, Gao Fei asked, "Brother Xuande, why don't you come with us?"
Zhang Fei hugged Liu Bei and laughed loudly: "Go, why don't you go? If someone invites you to have a drink, of course our brothers will go together!"
Liu Bei nodded slightly, leaned forward and said, "Master Gao kindly invites you, Bei, how can you refuse?"
Guan Yu didn't say anything. When he saw Gao Fei holding Liu Bei's hand and leaving, he followed him.
Gao Fei smiled and said, "Please follow me!"
The four of them returned to the camp where Gao Fei lived together. Gao Fei called Lu Heng and learned that he had arranged the three hundred warriors brought by Liu Bei. He said, "Go get some wine and meat. I want to go with you."
Let the three good men have a good drink."
Lu Heng said "Promise" and went out.
"Thank you, Master Gao, for what happened just now." Liu Bei leaned over and clasped his fists.
Gao Fei said: "It's just a small effort, why bother? It's just that Mr. Lu seems to have some opinions on Brother Xuande. Have you ever had any rift between you?"
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Hey! It's a long story."
Gao Fei said: "Then let's make a long story short."
Liu Bei said: "I studied with Lu Gong in my early years, but I was dull by nature, coupled with my youthful playfulness, which caused my studies to be neglected and affected others. Lu Gong was so angry that he drove me back. I am in Lu Gong's heart.
He’s just a loser who can’t achieve anything big…”
"This is not necessarily true. Now that the Yellow Turbans are rising, it is a good opportunity for men to make contributions. Since you have stayed in the army, as long as you defeat the Yellow Turbans, you will definitely get an official position. Brother Xuande, don't worry, in the future
As long as you follow me, I will never treat you three badly," Gao Fei said.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
"Master Gao has spoken seriously. All three of our brothers have lost their lives. However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We have formed local warriors to fight against the rebels, just to obey the imperial court and to bring peace to the people. There is no other reason." Liu Bei looked at it.
Looking at Gao Fei's expectant eyes, he hurriedly said.
Gao Fei heard the implication of Liu Bei's words and didn't want to be used by him. Think about it, who is Liu Bei? The founding emperor of Shu Han, one of the Three Kingdoms, if he didn't have ambitions, how could he open up the hegemony of Shu Han? He only gently
He smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Lu Heng brought wine and meat. Gao Fei said to Lu Heng: "It's a good idea to settle those country heroes. Three heroes and I are drinking here. No one is allowed to disturb us."
"It's my lord, I'll take care of it right now." Lu Heng bowed and walked out.
Gao Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sat in a circle. Gao Fei poured a bowl of wine for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then raised the bowl and said loudly: "Three heroes, I just said it casually.
Brother Xuande's ambition is bound to not condescend to someone Gao. Quan is just a joke. It is also a kind of fate that we can meet here in the vast sea of people. Come, come, come, for this fate, we drink.
This cup!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he felt the slightly stiff atmosphere. He looked at the wine bowl in front of him that was smaller than his palm, and muttered: "Master Gao is so stingy. He gave me such a small wine bowl because he was afraid of me."
Are you tired of drinking, sir?"
"Third brother!" Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei had made another mistake, so he shouted softly.
Zhang Fei said: "Brother, Mr. Gao is not an outsider, why do you need to talk about so many red tapes? Mr. Gao, I have a large capacity for alcohol. I drink from a jar. Do you have any objection?"
"Hahaha, Brother Yide has a huge amount. Please drink as much as you like. My brothers don't have to be polite. I don't care how much Brother Yide can drink. I don't care how much you drink."
Zhang Fei chuckled, picked up the jar of wine next to him, drank three sips, and said with a smile: "This army wine is not very good, I feel it is not as good as Lao Zhang making it himself."
Where’s the wine! Second brother, try it and see if it’s not as good as the wine I brewed?”
Guan Yu was much calmer than Zhang Fei. When he saw Zhang Fei like that, he shook his head helplessly, raised the wine bowl in front of him, banged it with Gao Fei, and said loudly: "Master Gao, my third brother has a bad temper."
"Be straightforward, that's how people have their tempers. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
Gao Fei's face showed displeasure, he put the wine bowl aside and muttered: "Could it be that Brother Yun looks down on me and doesn't want to call me brothers?"
Guan Yu said: "This... Don't get me wrong, Mr. Gao, Guan definitely doesn't mean this..."
"Since that's not what you mean, then please, Brother Yun, please don't say anything to anyone else in the future. I, Gao Fei, have been lucky enough to meet three good men for three lifetimes. I know each other heart to heart. Could it be that Brother Yun still has any feelings for me?"
Any concerns?"
Liu Bei hurriedly defended: "This...please don't misunderstand me, my second brother has absolutely no intention of this, but you are always an adult..."
"There are no outsiders here. I would like to ask the three brothers not to be polite. From now on, in front of everyone, I am your lord, but in private, the three brothers should not call me "sir", otherwise it will appear too foreign.
."
Zhang Fei nodded, said "Hmm", and said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "You two brothers, since we are brothers, let's eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. Since Master Gao doesn't mind, why should we care?
Mr. Gao... No, brother Gao Xian, come, I will have a drink with you!"
Guan Yu simply let go of his arms and raised his glass at the same time: "Third brother
