On the first day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Jian'an, early in the morning.

It's already a new year!

The rising sun shines on the entire Shouchun City. Every household in the city has decorated the lights and replaced the peach talismans on the door with new ones, hoping to avoid the darkness and auspiciousness in the new year. From the third day of the night to the early morning, the sound of firecrackers in the city is endless. At this time, people come and go on the streets of the city, and a prosperous scene. All the pedestrians' faces are filled with knowing smiles. The endless battles in the chaotic world are probably the only way to forget the annoyance like these New Year's days.

Since it was the first day of the New Year, there was no matter what. I changed into casual clothes and left the county magistrate's mansion, and quietly came to the bustling and lively streets. The sincere joy of the people in the city caused me to be a little infected, and my originally melancholy mood became happy. This was the first New Year that "I" had when I came to this era. But unfortunately, there was no close relative around me, and I don't know how my elder brother and second brother were in Runan! Unfortunately, the affairs in Shouchun have not settled yet and I can't return to Runan in a short period of time.

"Hey!" I sighed softly.

Following the crowds of people, I came to a very lively neighborhood. I watched several nearby juggling games with other people with great interest. When I saw the exciting part, even I couldn't help but cheer with the people next to me.

"good!"

Not good! Because I was too involved in watching and forgot to control my voice, my cheering voice was as if the thunder was thunder on the ground. The people nearby were shocked by this sound, and several children were already scared to cry. A juggling woman walking on the rope was even more shocked and fell off the rope. Fortunately, she was not injured. For a moment, the entire neighborhood became silent, and everyone looked at me. There were shock, horror, dissatisfaction, and even one or two curious gazes!

Although many people were dissatisfied with my loud voice, they did not dare to come forward to argue with me. Instead, after paying attention to my unusual burly figure, they all hurried backwards in fear, as if I were some kind of ferocious, poisonous snake and beast. This scene made me smile bitterly.

"What's going on ahead? Is there anyone causing trouble?" With a loud shout, the onlookers made way for the crowd, and a team of soldiers patrolling the tiger gun camp entered the crowd, "What's wrong?"

"June, that's it. Just now, a rash man's voice was as loud as thunder, scaring many people..." An old man in his 60s replied respectfully. This army of Uncle Liu entered Shouchun for a few days, and it was indeed like a notice posted in the city. The military discipline was strict and there was no offense. Although there were soldiers patrolling the streets every day, these soldiers had never bullied and plundered the people. Shouchun's people gradually adapted, and if they could not see their patrols, the people felt insecure.

The leader of the Tiger Gun Camp was a little puzzled when he heard the old man's reward. A loud "rude man"? On such a noisy street, a person's voice could scare so many people. Who has such a loud voice? It's comparable to the general! Following the direction the old man pointed, Shi Chang looked around. A very familiar figure was now in front of him.

Ah! He is really a general!

"See General!" Under the leadership of Chief Shi, a group of 10 patrol soldiers quickly and neatly knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and saluted me respectfully.

"Well! You're waiting for patrol, there's no need to be too polite! Get up!"

"Yes, General!"

The people watching on the side originally thought that the patrol soldiers would definitely punish the "rude man", but they did not want such a dramatic change. The "rude man" in front of them was actually the general of these patrol soldiers. Suddenly, almost everyone present was so scared that they knelt down, especially the old man named me "rude man", who was even more frightened. He slowly knelt down to me and said tremblingly: "General... General, the old man is ignorant, offended the general, please... General forgive me!"

"Old man, please get up quickly. Those who don't know will not be guilty. Besides, this is my general, so I don't have to worry about it. Dear fellow villagers, please get up!" After I helped the old man up in person, I said to the people around me with a smile.

"Thank you, General!" The kneeling people saw that the old man who "offended" me was not blamed, and I helped me up, and hesitated and stood up one after another.

"You guys continue patrolling!" I said to the tiger gun soldier who was standing by.

"Yes, General!" The soldiers saluted me with admiration and turned and left.

"Dear fellow villagers, don't have to worry about it, everyone continue to play!" Despite what I said, most people quickly stayed away from my neighborhood, and it seemed that they were quite concerned about my existence.

I shook my head gently. It seems that I can't go shopping today, so I'd better go back home! At this moment, I suddenly saw a young scholar with a good appearance looking at me with a smile.

Well??? Other people on the street were afraid of me, but this person did not dodge and dared to look at me like this. It seemed that he was not an ordinary person!

Who is this person? I walked over, gave a light salute to the young scholar, and asked with a smile: "Do you dare to ask this gentleman for his name, please give me a message?"

Seeing that I saluted him as a general, the young scholar showed three-point surprise and seven-point appreciation in his eyes. He bowed to me with neither humility nor arrogantness and bowed back to me, and said with a faint smile: "Shan Fu, a man from the mountains and fields, pay homage to the general!"

Shanfu? Shanfu???????? It seems to be a familiar name! But I couldn't remember for a moment. Who was it? My brain teasers started to turn.

Suddenly, a light of inspiration appeared in my mind and four words blurted out.

"Yingchuan Xu Shu!!!!!!!!!"

The young scholar was a little surprised at first - why after hearing the pseudonym he had claimed, the general in front of him was stunned. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a sentence from me, and his face changed drastically.

Xu Shu—the real name of a young scholar. Xu Shu has been wandering outside for many years, and he used his pseudonym "Shan Fu". He was suddenly called out by someone who was a person he didn't know, which naturally shocked Xu Shu. He stared at me with confusion.

"You are Yingchuan Xu Shu????!!!!!!!!!!" I finally remembered. In the Romance, "Shan Fu" was the pseudonym that Xu Shu used when he defected to his elder brother in Xinye. Could it be that the person in front of him was Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, who was comparable to Zhuge Kongming and was very filial to his mother? How could he appear in Shouchun?

After a little hesitation, Xu Shu nodded and admitted: "I am Xu Shu of Yingchuan. I have never met the general, but I don't know how the general knows my name and how he can see through my pseudonym?"

When I saw the young scholar in front of me admitting that he was Xu Shu himself, I was overjoyed. I had always thought about asking a talented man as a military advisor for my elder brother. Although I have successfully made suggestions for my elder brother so far, it was entirely because I could understand the original historical process and gain thousands of years of experience than the people of this era to barely succeed. However, I am also very self-aware. Compared with those real talents in the Three Kingdoms era, I am definitely not a little bit different from them. If I could invite these talented men to assist my elder brother, it would be of great benefit to my elder brother's great cause. Speaking of the real talented men in the Three Kingdoms era, Xu Shu was definitely the one who was unsupported.

Xu Shu, whose courtesy name was Yuanzhi, loved Ren Xia fencing when he was young, and later learned from time to time, and his knowledge improved day by day. Due to the war in the Central Plains, he lived in Jingzhou and was friendly with Zhuge Liang, Sima Hui, Pang Tong and others. In the 12th year of Jian'an, Xu Shu served Liu Bei and was highly valued by Liu Bei for his outstanding talents. He also recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei. During the Battle of Changban, Xu Shu's mother was captured by Cao's army, so Xu Shu threw Cao Cao in northern China and became the right general of the Censor General in Wei.

In terms of talent, Xu Shu was definitely among the top 10 of the wise men of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. How could such a talent be let go? He would have to keep you to serve his elder brother no matter what.

When I heard Xu Shu's confusing questioning, my mind quickly turned around. Of course, I couldn't tell him that I knew that he was and such a pseudonym because I had read the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I smiled and lied to him: "Mr. Xu doesn't know anything. A few months ago, my elder brother Liu Xuande, the governor of Yuzhou, issued a "Seeking for Talents" to seek help from all over the world. During this period, someone who knew me recommended me to my elder brother, saying that I have the talent of heaven and earth. My elder brother ordered people to go out to find out the whereabouts of my husband, but I never found my whereabouts. I only knew that my husband had a pseudonym "Shan Fu". I heard my husband call himself "Shan Fu", so I boldly asked, but I didn't expect it to be my husband. It was a blessing in my three lives to meet him today!"

Xu Shu's doubts were reduced a little, and he said with a faint smile: "So that's it! General praised him, Xu really felt ashamed of being......... The general's brother is Uncle Liu, so the general is..."

"Zhang Fei, a man from Yan, pays homage to Mr. Xu!" I sorted out my clothes, bent down and bowed to Xu Shushen.

Xu Shu was moved and hurriedly stepped forward to help me up, saying excitedly: "The general's power is so famous all over the world. Xu Shu is a commoner, how can he be such a great gift to the general? General Zhang, please get up quickly, don't break Xu Shu."

I stood up and said to Xu Shu with a eager expression: "Mr. Xu, if Meng Buqie, please come to the mansion with me. I wonder if you can enjoy the glory?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "General, how dare Xu refuse!"
