The Liu family and the Zhang family are both big families in the county. There are many people in the family, so some things are difficult to discuss there. However, Jian Yong's family is in dilapidated condition, and he is the only one living in the house. If you have anything to discuss at his home,
, is naturally the safest.
Jian Yong welcomed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and went to the well to fetch water for them.
He didn't have any decent drinks at home, so he could only put a few flowers and leaves in the bowl for seasoning, and use this to entertain the two of them superficially.
Liu Bei was no longer in the mood to be polite to them, so he told Jian Yong and Zhang Fei the most important things that had happened in the past few days.
Liu Bei hardly paused during this call. He just kept talking and kept talking.
After saying this, Liu Bei's mouth became parched. He reached out to take the bowl and drank the water in it without leaving any water.
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei was obviously a little confused.
No wonder, after all, he was still young, and he was suddenly told to prepare to go to the north to conquer Xianbei. Naturally, he couldn't accept it for a while.
Jian Yong gently wiped the table in front of him with his fingers, and it was obvious that he was distracted.
"In other words, Ah Jian found out from the mouth of Xianbei that Tan Shihuai was about to die?"
"Yes, he also said that this is a golden opportunity to become famous in the world. If we seize it, we can turn around in one fell swoop and let our brothers make preparations in advance. We have also informed Su Shuang of this matter in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, Su Shuang will be with us in the future.
We should advance and retreat together."
When Jian Yong heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Su Shuang, hahaha, that idiot has a very unique vision."
Liu Bei fully agreed with this.
Jian Yong said again: "Xuande, in this county, heroes have always emerged in times of chaos. Although there are dangers, Jian is there to deal with it, so it should be stable. Why are you so depressed? Depressed and unhappy?
"
Liu Bei also knew what Jian Yong said, and he was thinking about Liu Jian now.
"Ajian has been to Gongsun Zan's county office for several days. I feel really uneasy. Do you think something will happen?"
Jian Yong and Zhang Fei were stunned when they heard this.
Later, I saw the two of them laughing together.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Bei was greatly puzzled when he saw the two acting like this.
Is there anything wrong with what I just said?
When they were young, the two of them had laughed enough, and Zhang Fei said directly: "Brother Xuande, I'm not telling you that even I can understand such a trivial matter! Why can't you think clearly?"
Liu Bei opened his mouth in surprise.
I have known Zhang Fei for more than two years, and this seems to be the first time he has thought of me.
It’s such a slap in the face!
"Why can't I think clearly?"
"Brother showed Gongsun Zan the way, and it was not for nothing. He naturally had to take into account the interests of us. If we win a great victory in the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, we will have great military exploits and fame. But
Going out to fight against the enemy is not a trivial matter, including where we will be in this Northern Expedition, what will happen to Gongsun Zan himself, and whether the imperial court will use this matter to raise troops, these all need to be explored and planned."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately speechless.
The reason is very simple. Whatever Zhang Fei can think of, he should be able to think of it, but why is he still confused?
"Yes, yes."
Jian Yong sighed helplessly: "What's right, Xuande, remember that caring leads to chaos. Ajian is at the government office and nothing has happened yet. You stay at home, how can you mess up the situation first? It's really not like your usual behavior.
wind."
Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
Jian Yong is right, it seems that caring leads to chaos.
At this moment, Zhang Fei was suddenly seen listening, and then said: "Someone is coming outside the house!"
The three people hurriedly got up and went outside the house, and found that the person coming was none other than Liu Jian.
Not only did he come alone, he also led a horse. It was the big green partridge that he and Liu Bei had taken a fancy to at the market that day.
Liu Bei was very surprised when he saw this: "Isn't this a good thing in Su's hands? Brother Gongsun really bought it and gave it to you?"
Liu Jian called Zhang Fei over to help him lead the horse, and said with a smile: "Gongsun Zan wants to achieve great things, so why bother with a horse?"
Zhang Fei reached out and took the reins from Liu Jian's hand. Seeing that the reins had been replaced, the horse seemed a little irritable, swinging its head and neck back and forth on the spot, as if it was neighing with its hooves.
It's a pity that although it is the best among horses, the man holding the reins in front of me is the best among men and will never lose to it.
Zhang Fei is so strong that no matter how hard Da Qinggu tries, he can't pull him even one inch.
Liu Jian saw this in his eyes and praised: "You still have the strength! I trained him at the county office for three days before I could take him out. You stopped here like an iron tower, and the horse lost its energy."
"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed, his face full of pride.
Liu Jian said to the three of them: "I just returned home first and saw that A Bei was not here. I guess you are here. I have made an appointment with Su Shuang to come with us to the western suburbs to herd horses. You guys pack up."
Let’s make it happen.”
Although Liu Jian did not say it clearly, Liu Bei and others knew that he planned to explain to them the results of his research with Gongsun Zan in the past few days.
So everyone immediately followed Liu Jian to the western suburbs in the name of walking their horses.
On the only road from the county town to the western suburbs, Su Shuang had been waiting there for a long time. Even though he stood alone like a wooden stake for a long time, he still had a signature smile on his face.
"Why is Deran so late?"
Su Shuang said with a smile, not as a question, but as a joke.
"Brother Su, don't blame me. It took a little while to find my brothers."
"No wonder, no wonder, can this big green partridge still be ridden?"
"Such a good horse can be ridden naturally. I brought you all here today just to test the horse!"
After that, he looked around at the crowd and said, "Just to test the horse!"
Everyone understood what Liu Jian meant and nodded in agreement.
Just to test the horse, nothing else! You must say this when someone asks you later.
Later, under Su Shuang's guidance, Liu Jian, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong rode their big green partridges one after another and galloped around the countryside.
This green partridge is indeed a good horse. It is extremely fast and stable in strength. The horse's back is broad and not suitable for falling. It is a good horse that can go on the battlefield.
"It is indeed a good horse that is unique among ten thousand!"
After trying the horse, Liu Jian touched the mane on the neck of the big green partridge and said with a hearty smile: "This time I am traveling far away, and I will not waste time with such a good horse as my mount!"
"Travelling?"
Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this.
Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "Brother, I just came back from the county office, where are you going? Don't forget, we still have important matters to discuss about going north and heading out to the fortress."
"It is precisely because of this important event that I have to travel far away. This is also the agreement I have reached with Gongsun Bogui in the past few days."
"protocol?"
"Yes. Otherwise, why do you think I stayed here for three days?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "We all thought that my brother was at the county office and was entertained by Gongsun County Lord with banquets for days."
"Haha, I drank some wine, but we still have to talk about business."
Among these people, Su Shuang was the most anxious about what Liu Jian was discussing at the county office. Others were doing things for meritorious service, but for his survival, his starting point was completely different.
"You guys should be quiet for a moment and listen to Liu Shaojun's explanation."
Liu Jian licked his dry lips and said: "Even if Tan Shihuai is seriously ill, fighting against Xianbei is not a trivial matter. There are many connections that need to be opened up, and I need to help him with many matters. After all, it is not appropriate to let the news out now."
To too many people.”
Zhang Fei snorted: "If Gongsun Zan wants to ask his brother for help, must he have an identity?"
"Yes, so the result of my discussion with him was that he used this achievement as a gimmick to recommend me to Lord Lu of Zhuo County, and the county office recruited me."
