Liu Zhang's reaction was very strong, which directly aroused the sideways glance of Lu Su next to him.
"Do you know my lord?"
Do you know Liu Zhang?
He definitely doesn’t know it!
But when he saw the other person's red face, he had no choice but to get to know him!
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, there were probably only two people who turned red when using a broadsword!
Guan Yu and Wei Yan.
The former has been trapped by Liu Bei, and there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.
The latter is not necessarily the case, and it is very possible to travel thousands of miles to Yizhou for a chance.
Guan Yu and Wei Yan have infinite similarities, and the most similar thing is their birth.
Guan Yu was an ordinary citizen, but he later became a fugitive because of murder. This kind of background is not enough to be put on the table in this era, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have been angrily accused of "forking out"!
Guan Yu's background was poor enough, but Wei Yan was far inferior to Guan Yu, and his background was even worse!
Historically, Wei Yan was not Liu Biao's subordinate. On the contrary, he joined Liu Bei's command as a subordinate when Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye.
The word "buqu" may be relatively rare for Yizhou, because all the soldiers and horses in Yizhou are directly subordinate to Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.
In other words, regardless of the troops led by anyone, Liu Zhang could change the commander at will at any time.
Liu Zhang's idea has always been to gather all the soldiers and horses under his personal command. They belong only to the monarch and not to any general.
But except for Yizhou, the situation was not so good for other princes.
Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, or Liu Biao, their generals all have private soldiers, and the general's private soldiers can also become tribes.
These tribes recognize no one but their master.
This system is the most serious in Jiangdong, especially when it comes to the treatment of Shankoshi!
Jiangdong's policy is that whoever captures it belongs to whom. This is why Jiangdong's generals are so keen on attacking Shankoshi.
Due to over-reliance on the power of the family, each family that took refuge would retain some armed forces, and the tribe was born.
Historically, because Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and all the veterans who followed him were killed or injured, he had no choice but to go to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao, and was later settled in Xinye by Liu Biao.
It was at this time that Wei Yan joined Liu Bei's command, but his initial status was not as a general, but as a subordinate.
In this era, who would join the forces as a subordinate?
That means being so destitute that they cannot survive, being alone, or the whole family joining the forces.
Thinking about Wei Yan's experience after Zhuge Liang's death, we can see how humble Wei Yan's background was. Yang Yi, who was also from the Jingzhou faction and not from a wealthy family, even scorned him!
Being so downtrodden and having such martial arts and talents, Wei Yan is probably the number one person in the world!
After all, Wei Yan has the talent to lead troops and the appearance of a general. With a little training, he can get a general who can stand alone!
Maybe Wei Yan is not necessarily inferior to Guan Yu, but the treatment between the two is really very different.
"Zijing knows that Liu Bei has a sworn brother, whose surname is Guan, whose name is Yu, and whose courtesy name is Yunchang!"
Seeing Liu Zhang suddenly mentioning Liu Bei's generals, Lu Su was slightly startled, but still nodded.
"I've heard that this man is extremely brave and has a bravery that no one can match!"
Guan Yu is destined to be the regret in Liu Zhang's heart!
"That's right! Zijing may not know that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past, Liu Bei didn't have more than a thousand men, and he couldn't defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They had no official positions themselves, but they just gathered local warriors to fight against the Yellow Turbans. At this time, Liu Bei and I both
Rescue Lu Zhi met by chance."
"Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty. After he told everyone he met that he was Prince Jing of Zhongshan, he always labeled himself as a descendant of the Queen of Han Dynasty. Later, I checked with my late father, who was then Zongzheng, and found that it was impossible to find out!
"
Even when Liu Bei was mentioned at this time, Liu Zhang still gritted his teeth.
Lu Su's eyes flashed with solemnity, he did not mean to look down on Liu Bei.
"My lord, this Liu Bei is a humble man, but he is good at taking advantage of situations and deceiving people. I heard that Tao Qian was willing to give up all five counties of Xuzhou to him! Liu Bei was dissatisfied with the central plains of Hebei. I heard that even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were
Have great respect for him!"
Liu Bei has grown from weaving mats and selling shoes to becoming the leader of a state. He is definitely a capable person who can make a name for himself in troubled times.
Although he was far inferior to Liu Zhang, Lu Su didn't want Liu Zhang to look down upon him too much.
"Yes! Liu Bei is famous all over the world now, but who can really see through the heart of this big-eared thief!"
"When Liu Bei was unknown and had no official position, I proposed to rely on my father Zongzheng to rectify Liu Bei's name and confirm his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Later, I recommended him to become the governor of a county so that he could truly
Serve the great Han. And my only request is that Guan Yu serve under my command."
As a result, Lu Su must have guessed it. After all, Guan Yu was still serving in front of Liu Bei's battle, but this story once again refreshed Lu Su's understanding of Liu Bei.
"My lord, this Liu Bei is really not simple. Maybe he has long seen that the world will be in chaos! In troubled times, these false names often do not play a decisive role! Thousands of armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find! A general like Guan Yu,
It’s something you can encounter but cannot ask for!”
This is where Liu Zhang's resentment towards Liu Bei lies. Liu Bei prides himself on benevolence and righteousness and talks about reviving the Han Dynasty all day long, but does he really think so?
"Zijing, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, Liu Zhang, have been calling for the revival of the Han Dynasty. I have been following my own ideas and working hard to solve the people's suffering from the root cause and bring the Han Dynasty back to its true prosperity!"
"But what about Liu Bei? He is just using the cover of reviving the Han Dynasty for personal gain! Such a hero in troubled times is really abominable!"
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei couldn't wait to succeed, even under the pretext of Liu Xie's death.
Perhaps Liu Bei couldn't wait for a long time, and had even been waiting for the day when Cao Cao and his son drove Liu Xie away!
"My lord, why did you suddenly mention Liu Bei? Could it be that this man has something to do with Liu Bei?"
Liu Zhang smiled, they should have some relationship, but because of his appearance, I am afraid that the two of them will never have anything to do with each other again.
If there must be one, it can only be an enemy of life and death!
"If you observe this person, what is your first impression?"
Lu Su looked at the two fighting on the stage and looked at them carefully.
"This person... his face seems to be very red..."
Lu Su really couldn't see anything. Everything was no different from ordinary people, except for that face.
"That's right! The brave general with a red face and a big sword in his hand is exactly the characteristic of Guan Yu!"
Lu Su's eyes widened and he immediately looked at the red-faced man in surprise.
