Although Liu Bei had made a big name in Youzhou, it was only because of the lack of academic style in Youzhou and the high chivalrous spirit that Zhuo County regarded Liu Bei as a hero in the east and west. In addition, Liu Bei himself was a disciple of Lu Zhi, a great scholar in Youzhou, so he was able to gain a foothold in Youzhou.

But Youzhou is Youzhou, and the children of border counties are aliens. With Lu Zhi's study tour in Luoyang, Liu Bei opened his eyes, but his interactions with the children of famous families also made Liu Bei deeply understand that these are all people who are above the top, and they are also a group of rotten people.

Taking family background and knowledge as a basis, he disdained those who could not enter their circle, which greatly damaged Liu Bei's self-esteem. He was a person with higher ambitions, even if he didn't know what his "ambition" was now. Therefore, although Liu Bei became less and less interested in studying science as Lu Zhi studied for several years, he loved to make friends with various knights, but this does not mean that he did not desire to be recognized by scholars in his heart. After following Lu Zhi for many years, his teacher still gave him a dream of a Confucian scholar and a dream of governing the country and pacifying the world.

Liu Bei's face has always been solemn, and his joy and anger are not reflected. At this moment, he felt that his ambition was slightly hot. He suppressed his emotions and asked Chen Chong: "Talking with Mr. Chen is better than mellow wine. If you don't drink, you will be drunk. Liu Bei is not talented. Now he wants to have a deep friendship with you, but he has not yet asked where you come from and where you are going?"

Chen Chong closed his sleeves and sat upright and said, "In Xiayingchuan, Chen Chong and Chen Tingjian, this year, are nineteen. He came here from Luoyang. He has always heard that there are many generous and tragic people in Youyan, and he wants to be friends. Now he has visited Changsheng and Zhaoyi's two friends. He thought he had gained a lot, but he didn't expect to see Liu Jun again today. Youzhou's talent is very rich, very lucky!"

"Chen Tingjian, Yingchuan?" Liu Bei suddenly felt that the name was familiar, and he recited it twice in his heart silently. He suddenly thought of some strange stories about his study tour in Luoyang, and then he suddenly realized that he almost couldn't help but scream. However, the clan brother Liu Deran and Zhang Shiping beside him said in a lost voice: "Chen Tingjian, Yingchuan? Are you the grandson of Taiqiu Duke of Yingchuan, and the dragon-headed Chen Tingjian of Xiping?"

This made everyone in the audience confused. In addition to Su Shuang, who was a big merchant in Jizhou with Zhang Shiping, his face changed. He couldn't help but look at Chen Chong with his eyes. Chen Chong sat upright and only gave a little bow and said calmly: "For the blessing of heaven, Chong can only use his family ancestor as his backer to win some reputation. Unexpectedly, someone in Youzhou knew that there was Chen Chong in the world, and Chong was very happy."

Some things are like this. Just talking about a person’s name will not make anyone think that you are of great significance. However, if you make your name smell bad and long, others will regard you as a rare treasure. Chen Chong hates this kind of psychology and can only smile bitterly when he sees the changes in everyone’s eyes.

But Liu Bei knew the importance of becoming famous in this era, so he quickly lowered his position: "Don't be humble. When I was studying in Luoyang with my teacher the next year, although I was not fortunate to see Chen Jun's style of talking about the confusing people, the debate had already caused a sensation in the literary world. There were nearly a thousand students under the teacher's name, and almost everyone talked about Chen Jun's remarks. Liu Bei achieved nothing, but he also knew that Chen Jun's title of Xiping Dragon Head was not arrogant, but it was just right."

Then he explained to all the confused companions: "You don't know that this Chen Jun is a great scholar who is famous in Beijing! In the sixth year of Xiping, Chen Jun debated with the Five Classics Doctors in the Imperial Academy. The fourteen Five Classics Doctors were scolded by Chen Jun. No one could surpass Chen Jun in the classics. Because of Chen Jun, ancient classics were greatly used by Your Majesty, and Zheng Gong was also enlisted as a doctor of classics. Master Lu was really amazed at Chen Jun's knowledge."

Hearing the word "Great Confucianism", Chen Chong was already smiling bitterly. Seeing the admiring eyes of the heroes, Chen Chong felt even more uncomfortable. If he had not had the reason to have to be here, he would have already escaped. As a last resort, he could only continue to make a futile defense here: "Jun Liu is too proud. I have said earlier that I am not a Confucian scholar, and I hate Confucius' theory even more. I hope Liu Jun will not say anything else."

Everyone was shocked, but Chen Chong didn't want to waste his time in this regard anymore, so he joked to Liu Bei: "Come on Liu Jun, I'll introduce you to these two friends."

"This is Guan Shou Guan, whose original name is Changsheng, was originally a hero of Jieliang in Hedong. Two years ago, a wealthy family robbed his wife and daughter on the street to abuse young people. When Brother Guan saw the injustice on the road, he killed the powerful and walked away. He met me on the road. Brother Guan had an unfair aura, a pity for the weak, and a courageous courage from Zhang Dao. As far as I saw, Brother Guan can be called a national soldier."

Although Guan Shou has a high opinion of himself, he feels that he cannot afford to be a national scholar. After all, the national scholar recorded in the explicit history books is the beautiful title of Han Prime Minister Xiao He to Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin. Fortunately, others did not see the changes in their faces, so they could only say repeatedly: "Chen Jun praised, in Guan's opinion, Chen Jun is a national scholar, and Guan is still a guilty person. How can he deserve such a good reputation?"

Liu Bei would not care about it. He said to Guan Shou with a serious expression: "Brother Guan saw injustice on the road, and was not afraid of the powerful, so he left his hometown and hid his name. He could not do this without a real man. What Mr. Chen said is not false. Please accept Liu Bei's greeting."

After saying that, he bowed three times, and then said with a smile: "It was originally a bow, but my trip was mainly to visit Brother Guan. Zhang Shiping and Zhang Jun introduced him to see you. I talked with Mr. Chen, and almost forgot about Brother Guan. It was my sin, so I had to bow again. When I thought that Brother Guan was from Sanhezhong and lived in a major area of ​​the capital, the children of the border counties couldn't help but bow again. I hope Brother Guan will not blame him."

He also asked Zhang Shiping to meet with Guan Shou to talk about the past. It turned out that when Zhang Shiping entered Youzhou from Jizhou, when he passed by Hengshan, the horse team was blocked by two hungry tigers. The horse team in front was frightened and suddenly disrupted the formation. The two knights were even pushed off the horse. In a critical moment, Guan Shou came out of the forest, cut off a tiger's head with one knife, and then fought with another tiger. He actually pinched the tiger's bloody mouth and pulled out the tiger's tongue. The hungry tiger fled in pain. Before he could escape, he bleeded too much and died on the ground.

The tiger's tongue has barbs, and it will make people's skin bloom when they lick their skin a little. However, Guan Shou can actually pull his tongue out of the tiger's mouth, and he is also a top-notch warrior in the world. Everyone originally thought that Guan Shou was powerful and martial, but after hearing about Guan Shou's deeds, they were all shocked, so they respected it more and looked at Mount Tai.

Chen Chong smiled but said nothing, but then pulled Zhang Hu over and introduced to Liu Bei: "Jun Liu, this is also my friend. Zhang Hu and Zhang Zhaoyi are also well-known for Zhang Gong's divine power. Don't be aware of his unruly and unrestrained, but Zhaoyi is rough on the outside and handsome on the inside, has the martial arts skills of a king, and has the ambition of skill. He can fight with dragons and tigers, and can also make flowers on the cake. But his temper is really a little irritable."

Zhang Hu said with a glance: "Mr. Chen, I am very helpful to you, but I don't agree with the last sentence. You have been here for ten months. I wonder where I, Zhang Hu, treated you badly?"

"You, you," Chen Chong laughed in silence, Liu Bei also looked solemn, and he bowed: "Extraordinary people, treat them with extraordinary politeness. Brother Zhang's divine power, I can see a few in the courtyard outside the room. Unexpectedly, there are such heroes in Zhuo County. I, Liu Bei, thought that after studying in Luoyang, my vision was wide open. Today, the party knew that I was still short-sighted. I hope my elder brother would give me advice and travel with me."

Zhang Hun, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Jun Liu is so polite, but my son seems to be unaware. I heard that there is a hundred-year-old mulberry tree in your family, which is more than five meters high. Looking at the boys from afar, the boys are like hoods in a small car. Those who come and go say that this tree is extraordinary, and say that your family should have a noble man. When you see him today, it is indeed extraordinary. I hope that you will stay at the despicable door today and I will hold a banquet for you and others."

This sentence touched the secret story in Liu Bei's heart. When he was a child, he was influenced by the story of Liu Xiu ascending to the throne. Although he was often belittled because of his background, he was forced to cheer up when he thought of this ancient mulberry tree. How could he be an ordinary person when he had such a strange phenomenon in his family? Now that he was mentioned, Liu Bei cheered up and replied generously: "I am often worried about it, fearing that my virtue is too weak to achieve great things, and I am deeply depressed by others. Zhang Gong's words are all right. Now I see you, I wish I could not know it early!"

So he offered the wild animals he hunted and drank Dadan with everyone. He drank all the wine that Zhang Hun took out, drank another jar of good wine that Zhang Hun had treasured, and then drank all the new wine that the group carried. Some sang folk songs from the frontier, some danced a sword dance with swords with swords, and some drank all over the floor without knowing the situation.

Everyone was drunk. When Liu Bei woke up again, the night was about to end, the stars were shining in the sky, and the sky gradually shone green light. I guess the sunrise and the morning glow would soon be.

The group of people in the room fell and lay all over the floor without saying a gesture, their bodies were sloppy, and they were covered with thin quilts at some point. I think it was because they were drunk after everyone was drunk. Liu Bei felt a little depressed, so he sorted out his clothes and walked into the yard.

Suddenly, a long roar of "gu" and "gu" came. Liu Bei was very familiar with the sound of Ye Owl. However, Liu Bei rarely heard it in the houses, because in ancient times, most night owls were considered unlucky birds and were often driven away by people. Over time, Ye Owl himself also understood where to fall into the nest.

He followed the source of the sound, but saw a peach tree in the corner of the courtyard, squatting by the water, leaning against the tree and looking at the clouds, and a gray-white owl was standing on his shoulder.

It's not someone else, it's Chen Chong.

He saw Liu Bei, nodded and smiled, and then hummed a song without lyrics.

The tune was like a breeze blowing, passing through the stream, passing through the pine forest, rushing through the rocks, and walking around the top of the mountain, and suddenly blowing above the sky. Then it soothed, and the tune turned into gurgling water, flowing quietly between the sea of ​​clouds, with birds under the water, galloping horses under the water, and an extremely brilliant sunrise under the water.

The journey of the sun and the moon, if it comes out of it, the stars and the Han are brilliant, as if it comes out of it. The brilliant sun rises slowly and firmly from the stream, and there is an invisible force behind it, great and vast, and it seems that no one can resist it, so they can only watch it rise slowly.

Finally, the sun completely revealed its face! In an instant, the light shone brightly! The birds, galloping horses, sea of ​​clouds, and streams all melted in an instant, without a trace. On the huge sky, there was only a bright tomorrow shining on the earth!

The breeze cheered and sang, and then everything was quiet.

After listening to the song, Liu Bei opened his eyes and saw Chen Chong smiling and gently stroke the night owl on his shoulder. He suddenly remembered the "Poems of See the Aspirations" written by his fellow villager Li Yan [1]. Wherever he felt, he couldn't help but chant:

"The road is long and long, while the road is narrow and short.

If you cultivate your wings, you will not be humble and you will not be able to walk along the way.

Shu Wuling Xiaoyu, and strive for this thousand miles.

Who can chase after you through the world?

How can the wise and foolish people always be like each other? The nature is clear and turbid.

There are people who are rich and noble, but poor and humble.

If you are in harmony with others, the patriots will not be able to distinguish each other.

Chen Ping Aolishe, Han Xin Diaohe Qu.

He finally lives in the world and eats this ten thousand bells.

Virtue and reputation flow for thousands of years, and fame and reputation are important to the mountains."

When he recited the word "mountain", a ray of rays of rays pierced the sky, and Liu Bei felt a sense of emotion in the dark. When he looked back, he saw Guan Shou and Zhang Hu standing behind him, with a solemn expression.

For some reason, Liu Bei asked naturally: "Three, Liu Bei is young and his father died early, and he is dependent on his mother for his life. However, his mother passed away four years ago. Although Liu Bei had a clan, he had no relatives. He was like a lonely ghost in the world, with ambitions, but he was in panic all day long. Now, when he saw three, he felt the same way at first sight, Liu Bei did not regard his shallow virtues and dared to become brothers of different surnames with the three. How about it?"

"Brother Liu is famous in Yangzhou County. Although he has no fame and reputation, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty. It is only a matter of time before he can achieve great things. Longqian Jiuyuan can only survive in Jiuzhou. Now Guan is not talented, and he will be punished by Brother Liu. He is willing to serve him with his brother." I don't know why, Guan Shou's words were sincere. He continued: "Guan's family died early, and he was alone and knew everything. As if Brother Liu refused, there will be no Hedong Guan Shou in the world since today, only Guan Yu, the younger brother of Liu Xuande, is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!"

Zhang Hu blushed from the side. Seeing the people so strong and fierce, he was very envious, but he really couldn't say it. Finally, he put four words in his mouth: "I'm the same!"

In this scene, Chen Chong couldn't help but tease, "Zhaoyi, do you also want to change your name and name?"

Zhang Hu widened his eyes and said with a singing voice: "How can't you? I don't like Zhang Hu's name at all. How many famous people are like Tiger and Leopard these days, I hope Liu Jun can help me change one."

After pondering for a little, Liu Bei had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Zhaoyi, why don't you change your name to Zhang Fei, and your name is Yide. I hope the four of you will be able to fly to Bei Yu."

"Okay!" After hearing this name, Zhang Hu was so happy that he couldn't help but shout: "From today, my grandfather Zhang will change his name to Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!"

Then Liu Bei looked at Chen Chong with anticipation, and Chen Chong also looked at him.

This is the Three Mercy, which is a legendary legend in history. It is a supreme inheritance representing friendship. Chen Chong suddenly felt a little afraid. In this life, he worked hard, but he still didn't know whether he could become a person worthy of trust and trust. Liu Bei didn't know how difficult the road ahead was, but Chen Chong knew that it was a life that was much more painful than Yan Cen. But Yan Cen finally surrendered to fate, and Liu Bei had not surrendered yet.

Will I be defeated by fate? Or will I be destroyed by fate? Many people I have met over the years suddenly flashed through his mind: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song, Lu Kang, Lu Zhi...

Chen Chong suddenly laughed. He had actually made a decision and there was no need to deceive himself anymore. The way of the world was originally for the people of the world, and history would not deceive future generations.

He then stepped forward and bowed: "I would like to regard Brother Liu as my brother."

When everyone woke up slowly, the sun was already shining in the sky, and a few wisps of smoke were lingering incense. Everyone walked into the yard and saw only four people preparing black cows and white horses for sacrifice. They burned incense and bowed again and said:

"I miss Liu Bei, Chen Chong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, they have become brothers, and work together to save the needy and help the poor; report to the country and save the people; do not seek to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year. The Emperor and Empress Tu really understand this heart. They are against their righteousness and forgiving, and the heavens and men are killed together!"

[1]: Li Yan was the 15th generation grandson of Li Shiqi, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. In his generation, the Li family moved to Zhuo County. Li Yan was very filial to his parents, had superb logic, poetry, musical talent, quick thinking and good at reasoning. His inferences were mostly admired by the world. During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the prefectures and counties won the officialdom many times, but they were rejected because of corruption in the government. Later, his mother was seriously ill and Li Yan was worried, which led to mental disorder. At that time, his wife gave birth to children and died of fright. His wife's family sued the government, and Li Yan was arrested and imprisoned. In the sixth year of Xiping (177), he was tortured to death in prison at the age of 28. The articles left behind were extremely outstanding.

(The first volume is actually just an extra. It was originally planned to write about the interaction between the protagonist and multiple historical characters in this volume, but after thinking about it, it was a bit too slow, so I went directly to the interaction with Liu Bei. The remaining historical character interaction parts will be filled after the book is finished.)
