Liu Zhang slapped his forehead, but he didn't expect that Lu Su had misunderstood. After thinking about what he just said again, there seemed to be some loopholes.
"He is not Guan Yu. It is precisely because he looks so similar to Guan Yu that I was surprised."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief. If Guan Yu was here, wouldn't it mean that Liu Bei was already dead?
"Master, how do you think this man compares to Guan Yu?"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head. If we look at history alone, how can Wei Yan compare to Guan Yu.
"Tai Shi Ci is no match for Guan Yu. Look now, Tai Shi Ci is about to win."
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, he saw Taishi Ci's spear flip over and fly the big sword out of the red-faced man's hand.
The winner was decided, the red-faced man's face turned even redder, and there seemed to be some unwillingness in his eyes.
"I lost..."
Taishi Ci nodded slightly, the admiration in his eyes was unstinting.
It's been five years, and no one with such strength has ever come here.
"It doesn't matter, you are still young and there is a lot of room for improvement in your martial arts! As long as you work a little harder, you will definitely reach a higher level!"
After receiving Taishi Ci's praise, the red-faced man was visibly refreshed and looked at Taishi Ci with hope again.
"May I ask General, how many people under General Wei have martial arts skills like General?"
The corners of Taishi Ci's mouth raised slightly, he knew what answer the person in front of him wanted.
It was just to see what status he could gain among the generals after surrendering to Liu Zhang.
"Let me tell you this, my martial arts skills are not the best. Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei are among the best in the world, and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others are on par with me."
The red-faced man lowered his head like a defeated rooster, obviously this answer was a big blow to him.
The Taishi Ci in front of him has left him helpless. How strong are Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei?
It is rumored that Wei General Liu Zhang has many talented people under his command, and he is indeed well-deserved!
"What's wrong? You don't have confidence in yourself anymore?"
This voice was full of energy and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Lord!"
Taishi Ci hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to salute with his hands in hand.
"Ziyi, it seems that this person has left a good impression on you!"
Taishi Ci quickly ran to Liu Zhang and whispered softly in his ear.
"My lord, this man is very skilled in martial arts. If he is trained a little bit, he will definitely become a blockbuster!"
Liu Zhang nodded to Tai Shici and then walked towards the red-faced man.
"Why don't you speak?"
The red-faced man finally reacted, but he looked very guilty.
"You...are you General Wei Liu Zhang?"
Before Liu Zhang could speak, Taishi Ci behind him suddenly became furious.
"You bastard, you don't want to live anymore, how dare you call my lord by name!"
Taishi Ci's scolding obviously startled the red-faced man and made him even more nervous.
The red-faced man was crying, his heart filled with regret.
After finally trudging through mountains and rivers to reach Chengdu, if Liu Zhang was angered by his rudeness, wouldn't he have nowhere to cry?
"I...I...I..."
But the more anxious he became, the more confused he became, and the more confused he became, the more speechless he became. The red-faced man wanted to apologize to Liu Zhang, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word and could only stutter and stammer.
This scene really amused Liu Zhang, and he quickly waved his hand to Tai Shici.
"Ziyi, what's all the fuss about! Isn't my name just a personal name? Is there anything I can't call me directly?"
Liu Zhang was so casual, which really relieved the nervousness of the red-faced man.
"What about you, what's your name and where do you come from?"
The red-faced man did not dare to hesitate and quickly announced his home address.
"I am Wei Yan, named Wen Chang, who came from Xinye, Jingzhou."
Sure enough it was him!
Liu Zhang was overjoyed. Unlike others, he admired Wei Yan very much in his two lifetimes.
Now that Wei Yan was just a young boy, Liu Zhang naturally had to suppress his excitement.
"Oh? Xinye is more than a thousand miles away from Chengdu, why are you here?"
Wei Yan's spirit was shaken and he suddenly became interested.
"To General Wei, I heard that General Wei issued an order seeking talents. He is very thirsty for talents from all over the world. He doesn't care about his background at all, so I came from Xinye and wanted to serve General Wei!"
In fact, for Wei Yan, not caring about his origin is what attracts him the most.
If Wei Yan wanted to get ahead in Jingzhou, it would be an almost impossible goal.
First of all, the noble family will severely suppress him because of his commoner background, and secondly, he can only start as a soldier.
If you're lucky, you can slowly start from scratch, and maybe within three to five years, you can become a centurion or something like that.
If you are unlucky, you may die in one battle!
"Are you here by yourself? Do you have family?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Wei Yan became a little depressed.
"I dare not deceive General Wei. Wei Yan's family is poor. My parents starved to death last year in order to keep me alive..."
Starving to death seems to be very far away from Yizhou!
Because as long as the people of Yizhou have a skill, they can go to the Chamber of Commerce to earn money and then exchange it for food!
Therefore, no matter how many people starve to death in the world, it seems that it has no impact on Yizhou.
"Then what worries do you have in Jingzhou?"
Wei Yan shook his head. Since his parents died, he has been really alone.
"I dare not deceive General Wei. Wei Yan was born as a commoner. He only has his parents at home. After his parents die, Wei Yan has nothing to worry about."
Liu Zhang also suddenly realized that no wonder Liu Bei was able to recruit Wei Yan as his subordinate and put a lot of effort into promoting him. He should have saved Wei Yan's life when he was at his lowest.
"General Wei's order to seek talents says that no one is asked about his origins, but only his talent. Is that true?"
Wei Yan came to Yizhou with a very clear need, he must stand out!
If Liu Zhang asked him to be a soldier, it would be better to wait for death in Jingzhou.
But what Liu Zhang said next completely reassured him.
"Of course, I have always been true to my word, so I naturally mean what I say!"
"As long as you have ability, regardless of your background, I will give you even a person with a slightly inferior moral character. As long as you are willing to restrain yourself and start a new life, I will give you a chance to display your talent!"
When Wei Yan heard Liu Zhang's assurance, he immediately felt his blood surge and his already red face turned even redder.
"Wei...General Wei, can I serve General Wei?"
After Wei Yan finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head. He was so nervous that he did not even dare to look into Liu Zhang's eyes.
Wei Yan was afraid of rejection. Once Liu Zhang denied his strength, Wei Yan would be even more confused about where to go...
At this moment, Wei Yan felt a calm and strong palm slap on his shoulder.
It was this seemingly ordinary action, but it had a very unusual meaning to Wei Yan.
Liu Zhang's shot seemed like a bright light, pointing out the direction for Wei Yan's life!
