"I dare to guarantee with my life that Julu City has been captured!"
Liu Zhang was very disdainful of Liu Bei's doubts and was very confident in his words.
"Julu is a fortified city. The city is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack! Although I sent people to attack it, there were only a thousand people."
"If the Yellow Turbans react and the army besieges the city, it will definitely fall."
Liu Zhang looked at Liu Bei with some disappointment, not expecting him to be so selfish.
"Although Zhang Jiao was defeated in this battle, the main force of the Yellow Turbans is still Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. There are still no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians."
"I predict that Zhang Jiao will definitely flee to Guangzong. If we attack Jizhou from Guangzong, we must capture Julu."
Liu Zhang looked at everyone and felt that there was no need to explain anymore.
If Lu Zhi couldn't even understand this, he would still be entitled to the title of Confucian general.
Now that Liu Zhang had captured Jiancheng for Lu Zhi, Liu Zhang could not decide whether Lu Zhi wanted to take it or not.
If Lu Zhi doesn’t want it, Liu Zhang definitely doesn’t want it either!
He took his cavalry regiment to Julu City, joined Huang Zhong, and abandoned the city.
"What Liu Xiaowei said is very close to my heart. Julu is the strategic point of Jizhou, how can we sit back and watch the city fall again?"
Lu Zhi's tone was firm and could not be refuted. At the same time, he looked at Liu Bei with some disappointment.
"madness!"
"I have made up my mind! The entire army is heading to Julu City!"
"promise."
Lu Zhi issued the general order, and no one raised any objections.
Liu Zhang and others joined forces and headed towards Julu together.
It’s just that he has not been idle along the way, he has started to return to his old business, and he is possessed by flatterers!
"Brother Yun, you were so brave and invincible on the battlefield just now. Zhang really admires him so much!"
Liu Zhang kept surrounding Guan Yu on the way, talking here and there, and trying to flatter him. His intention to poach Guan Yu was obvious.
It's not that Liu Zhang was shameless, but it was Guan Yu who was simply too good.
Guan Yu was talented in foot combat, horse combat, and water combat, and was a true commander-in-chief of the three armies.
He has superb martial arts skills and is known as the enemy of thousands of people!
Moreover, Guan Yu loved his soldiers so much that they were willing to die for him. How could Liu Zhang let such a talent go?
Guan Yu's face was already red, but it became even redder after being praised by Liu Zhang. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and stroked his beautiful beard with both hands.
"General Liu's bravery is no less than Guan's. Yingchuan's ability to break the waves also makes Guan admire him!"
"Brother Yun, you're too polite. How can my little skills be compared to Brother Yun's? How did Brother Yun and Brother Xuande know each other?"
Liu Zhang did not care about Liu Bei's angry eyes behind him and began to test the relationship between the three of them.
The Taoyuan sworn alliance is a fabrication in the novel, and it does not actually exist.
"A few days ago, my lord was recruiting warriors in Zhuo County to conquer the Yellow Turbans. It was at that time that I joined."
It would only be a few months at most, so there should still be a chance! Liu Zhang felt very happy.
"Are Brother Yun and Brother Xuande sworn brothers?"
"no."
Guan Yu shook his head, but said firmly:
"My lord treats me and Zhang Fei better than brothers!"
"Well."
Liu Zhang nodded dejectedly. He thought there was something going on just now, but this sentence sent him into the abyss.
Guan Yu was a man of unparalleled loyalty, and once he identified Liu Bei, it would be difficult to sway him again.
Liu Bei saw Liu Zhang and Guan Yu chatting and laughing all the time, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he chased after him.
"Yun Chang, what did you talk about with Captain Liu? Are you so happy?"
"My lord, General Liu asked me if I and my lord are sworn brothers."
Liu Bei looked at Liu Zhang with a trace of disgust in his eyes.
"Liu Xiaowei, although Yunchang Yide and I are not sworn brothers, our friendship is better than that of brothers. We are brothers of Bei."
Liu Bei's meaning was very obvious, he signaled him to stop poaching, he couldn't do it!
"Brother Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Zhang was not angry, but instead talked about Liu Bei's background.
"Exactly!"
Liu Bei straightened his back, cupped his hands and said:
"I am the queen of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty. I heard that Liu Xiaowei is the queen of Liu Yu, King of Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty? If so, you and I should be brothers!"
"Ahem."
Liu Zhang did not expect that when Liu Bei got off the donkey along the slope, it would become a large-scale family recognition scene.
"Can Brother Xuande be included in the genealogy?"
If it is not included in the genealogy, it will not be officially recognized. It is a forged identity.
"The family has fallen into decline and the genealogy has long been lost."
Seeing Liu Bei shaking his head sadly, Liu Zhang sneered in his heart.
"Prince Jing Liu Sheng of Zhongshan has more than a hundred children. If there is no genealogy, it will be difficult for them to be recognized!"
After Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Liu Zhang with a somewhat thoughtful look, but sighed repeatedly and did not answer.
"My father, Liu Yan, currently holds the position of Zongzheng of Jiuqing. He is responsible for the family genealogy."
"What!"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Zhang excitedly.
He claims to be a member of the Han clan, but there is no official recognition. Outsiders think he is fake!
If you get Zongzheng's approval, your identity will be confirmed!
"Wonderful brother, can you let your brother join the family tree?"
Liu Zhang was overjoyed, Liu Bei had taken the bait, but he still looked embarrassed.
"Although my father is in charge of genealogy, if Brother Xuande doesn't have a genealogy, it may not be easy for him to do it!"
Liu Bei cursed Liu Zhang in his heart. It was obviously just a word from your father, but he was so embarrassed by what you said!
"If my virtuous brother can help me enter the family tree, I will never forget my great kindness in this life!"
Looking at Liu Bei with an excited expression and urgent tone, Liu Zhang felt that it was almost done.
"Brother Xuande, don't worry, there is nothing you can do about this matter!"
"I just have something to ask for! If Brother Xuande agrees, I will take care of entering the genealogy!"
"What's the matter!"
"This matter is very simple, all it takes is Brother Liu's words!"
"If Brother Liu agrees, I will not only help Brother Liu enter the genealogy and tell the world, but also ask my father to operate in the capital and recommend Brother Liu as the governor of a county!"
"Brother, please tell me!"
Liu Bei's eyes were red. These two things were so important to him. It was like reborn parents!
He said everywhere that he was a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but no one believed him at all. Because there was no genealogy record, and Liu Bei had no family tree.
What made Liu Bei most uncomfortable was that he was dressed in white and had no official position.
Now that the Yellow Turban Army is in rebellion, he can lead the army to conquer it. After the Yellow Turban Army is wiped out, can he still lead the army?
If you are lucky, you might be able to get an official position.
If he is unlucky and there is no one in the court, he may have to go back to Zhuo County to weave mats and sell shoes and resume his old business.
Liu Zhang has firmly grasped Liu Bei's weakness. For Liu Bei, this is like dew after a long drought.
He was confident that Liu Bei would not be able to resist such temptation.
"I am fighting against the Yellow Turbans this time, and I deeply feel that there is no one in the army who can help me!"
"Yun Chang is good at martial arts. I want to recruit him as a military commander and command a group of troops. I wonder if Brother Xuande can give up his love?"
"this..."
Liu Bei's eyes flickered, obviously thinking about the gains and losses.
This scene couldn't help but make Liu Zhang feel happy!
