The princes rose up together and the heroes competed with each other. The most chaotic decade of the late Han Dynasty began.
For Liu Bei, who had always been dependent on others, this was considered to be his semi-highlight moment. He had just taken over Xuzhou, one of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from Tao Qian.
However, despite this, Liu Bei's current situation is not very good.
Externally, Xuzhou was originally the place of the Four Wars. In the north, there was Cao Cao, who Yuan Shao was eyeing, and in the south, Yuan Shu had raised an army of 100,000 and was about to attack;
Inside, Lu Bu's new surrender, Tao Qian's old troops, Lu Bu's old troops and the cronies he brought from the north created many factions and conflicts among the three parties.
Amid internal and external troubles, thirty-four-year-old Liu Bei was at a loss as to how to break the situation.
At this time, the guards came to report that there was a man outside the door asking to see him, saying that he had a plan that could solve Liu Bei's current confusion.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Bei was overjoyed and quickly opened the door with his civil and military ministers to greet him.
However, when he went out and saw that the so-called "person who offered advice" was just a young man with ragged clothes and unkempt hair, the smile instantly disappeared from his face and was replaced by a look of disappointment.
What does a child know?
The young man acted like this just because he wanted to defraud him of more rice and food to survive.
He has seen many such things.
...
And since Liu Bei came out, the young man who came to offer advice has been observing him, and the look of disappointment in Liu Bei's eyes naturally cannot be hidden from his eyes.
The young man's name is Lin Zhe, and this year is his third year in this world.
Currently, he is fifteen years old.
Ever since he came to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he has been carried away by refugees and fled everywhere.
Along the way, people exchanged their children for food and carcasses for cooking. Lin Zhe, who was used to seeing this, became more determined to end this troubled world.
As a time traveler, he is confident that he can achieve great results with anyone he follows, so... it is very important to choose the lord to join him!
In Lin Zhe's opinion...
Yuan Shaose is fierce, timid, and scheming;
Cao Cao was headstrong, selfish and suspicious;
Yuan Shu loves great achievements and is mediocre and inactive;
The other princes were too far away, and traveling all the way would inevitably put their lives in danger.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhe still felt that Liu Bei, who was closest to him, was reliable.
Although following him in the early stage may be exhausting and wandering around, the advantage is safety. At least you don't have to worry about being "borrowed" at any time.
In terms of reputation, Liu Bei has always been very good!
Seeing that Lin Zhe kept silent and just stared at him blankly, Liu Bei just thought that the child was frightened by his fight.
He was just about to say a few words of comfort, but Zhang Fei behind him couldn't help it. He shouted at Lin Zhe and said angrily: "You kid, who gave you the courage? How dare you lie to my elder brother? Just for the sake of stuttering.
, don’t you even want your life?”
Zhang Fei's roar was deafening, and people around him subconsciously covered their ears.
Lin Zhe was the closest and bore the brunt of the shock. His ears were buzzing and for a moment, his mind went blank.
"Third brother!"
"Don't be rude!"
Liu Bei scolded, then turned to smile at Lin Zhe, and said apologetically: "Little brother, don't blame me, my third brother has a bad temper and has always been reckless!"
After saying this, he waved to the guards behind him.
"You two, go to the house to get some food for this little brother!"
Lin Zhe was still confused. Hearing Liu Bei's arrangement, he couldn't help but secretly praise him.
Your choice is indeed the right one!
Everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei is a hypocrite of benevolence and righteousness, but throughout the Three Kingdoms, he is the only one who can truly be benevolent and righteous to his people.
However, what he wants right now is not Liu Bei's sympathy.
He took two steps back slightly, saluted Liu Bei, and said loudly: "General Gao Yi, Zhe would like to thank you in advance!"
"Just so that the general knows that I am not a refugee who cheats on food and drinks!"
"Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is in decline, traitorous officials have stolen their lives, people's livelihood is in ruins, and people are dying of hunger everywhere!"
"Although Zhe has a small life, he still has the heart to help the Han Dynasty and save the people from fire and water, so he traveled thousands of miles to join the general."
"But I never thought...the general could be so shallow and look down on people based on their age and appearance?!"
After saying this, Lin Zhe stood respectfully on the spot, straightening his chest, his eyes were clear, neither humble nor arrogant.
When Liu Bei saw this, his expression couldn't help but change, and he instantly felt a sense of respect for the young man in front of him.
He did not doubt the authenticity of Lin Zhe's words. After all, this kind of rhetoric was not something that those refugees who could not read a word could say.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei quickly adjusted his clothes, saluted Lin Zhe solemnly, and his expression became humble.
"Forgive me little brother!"
"It is a common mistake to judge people by their appearance!"
"I wonder... the name of my little brother?"
"Lin Zhe, whose courtesy name is Xianyun." Lin Zhe said calmly.
Hearing this name, Liu Bei became even more convinced that Lin Zhe's background was unusual.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to have words, not to mention the meaning is so extraordinary.
Philosophy, wisdom.
A gentleman who shows his courtesy must always be virtuous, taken from the Book of Songs.
Liu Bei vaguely felt that he might have found a treasure.
Without any hesitation, Liu Bei quickly invited Lin Zhe to his house, and even Zhang Fei shut his mouth.
After entering, Lin Zhe was taken to wash up, and then Liu Bei held a banquet in honor of Lin Zhe.
Seeing the food in front of him, Lin Zhe's eyes couldn't help but light up, then he rolled up his sleeves and started to eat happily, without paying any attention to the strange looks of the people around him.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire hall was the sound of Lin Zhe chewing and swallowing food.
After he had finished drinking and eating, Liu Bei looked at Lin Zhe with blazing eyes, and then asked impatiently: "Sir... Mr. Xuzhou is currently very worried about internal and external troubles, but he has no plan to deal with it. Is there any hope?"
Teach me sir!”
"Xuzhou?"
Lin Zhe wiped his mouth, burped, and looked up at Liu Bei.
"How can I possibly deal with this mess in Xuzhou?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the scene was in an uproar.
Zhang Fei's eyes were fierce and fierce, and he had already grasped the sword in his right hand.
He was already grumpy, and he was quite impatient after waiting for so long. Lin Zhe's words undoubtedly ignited the powder keg. Fortunately, Liu Bei caught him in time when he saw that the situation was not going well, otherwise Lin Zhe would have been immediately angry.
Zhang Fei killed him on the spot.
Even Guan Yu's eyes were a bit sulky. Why did you stay here for so long with your eldest brother and yourself just to watch your kid eat?
Just when the atmosphere on the court was extremely tense, Lin Zhe stood up as if nothing was wrong.
He first looked around, scanning Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong, then turned around and hugged Liu Bei, saying loudly: "Zhe has a few questions, and I hope the general will tell you the truth!
"
Seeing that the young man in front of him was not afraid at all and even asked questions to him, Liu Bei was a little surprised. He nodded and motioned for Lin Zhe to continue. This chapter has been completed!
