The journey back was not slow at all. The thousand former Yellow Turban Army and now Liu Bei's Army were all very honest. The heroic figures of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were deeply imprinted in their minds, and no one escaped.
Not to mention resisting, that is courting death.
The group of people went directly to a manor outside Zhang Fei's city. At this time, Liu Bei had already returned from the prefect's mansion.
The few of them did not exchange greetings, but first arranged the 1,500 soldiers. This was the foundation for their future career.
One thousand and five hundred soldiers are already a very strong force, especially the two powerful warriors Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. To put it bluntly, if Liu Bei wants to occupy Zhuojun now, he will definitely do so.
It's just that Liu Bei wouldn't be so frustrated and crazy.
Isn’t it a rebellion to occupy Zhuojun now?
There is no reason to rebel against one's own family.
After settling in, Liu Bei called Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Yuan together.
After winning a great victory, Liu Bei should be very happy.
However, Chen Yuan keenly discovered that there seemed to be anger in Liu Bei's eyes.
Because he was busy arranging the soldiers, Chen Yuan refrained from asking questions.
Naturally, there was no need to hold back at this time, so he asked: "Brother, I see you have a look of dissatisfaction on your face. Is it because things are not going well in the prefecture?"
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both put down their wine glasses and looked at Liu Bei with concern.
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "It seems that I haven't hidden anything from my fourth brother."
Zhang Fei was impatient and shouted directly: "Brother, what kind of injustice did you suffer in the prefect's mansion? You tell me, Lao Zhang, and I will vent your anger on you."
Liu Bei waved his hand, signaling Zhang Fei to calm down.
Then he told the whole story under the watchful eyes of the three people.
It turned out that Liu Bei followed Zou Jing and led his troops back to Zhuojun. When he learned that they had defeated 50,000 Yellow Turban bandits, Liu Yu was naturally overjoyed.
This cannot be false, because Liu Bei and the others were not empty-handed when they returned, they also brought many heads of the Yellow Turban Army with them.
When Liu Yu was happy, he rewarded the three armies, and then promoted Zou Jing and Liu Bei.
Zou Jing's promotion is not a big problem. Firstly, Zou Jing has sufficient qualifications. Secondly, he is Liu Yu's confidant. Naturally, no one will stop him at this moment of great victory.
But Liu Bei's problem was huge.
Liu Bei himself is a white man, does not hold any official position, and is not Xiaolian, so this is a bit problematic.
There were three ways for officials in the Han Dynasty to serve as officials.
Kindness, recommendation, filial piety and integrity.
Enyin means that the emperor gives his son an official title because of his or her grandfather's great achievements.
Recommendation is also called inspection. Officials recommend some talents to the chief official to become officials. Of course, most of the recommended people must be inextricably connected with the official.
Xiaolian means that counties and counties recommend some talents to be Xiaolian based on some reputations. Being Xiaolian is equivalent to becoming an official's reserve. In other words, if you have the qualifications to be an official, you can wait until officials are needed.
At that time, if you pass the examination, you can become an official.
Liu Bei can't beat these three.
No one recommended him except Zou Jing.
This fully shows that the Zhuojun family does not accept Liu Bei at all.
Liu Bei was not filial and honest, so he was naturally not qualified to be an official.
Therefore, even if Liu Yu wanted to give Liu Bei the title of Military Marquis or Colonel, he could only give up due to the unanimous opposition of the Zhuojun family.
Perhaps out of compensation, Liu Yu gave Liu Bei the status of Xiaolian, which means that if Liu Bei makes military exploits next time, he can become an official.
And it's not just Zhuojun, because Xiaolian's status is universal throughout the country.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "The achievement of defeating an army of 50,000 people is enough to earn the status of a filial piety and incorruption. When did our big man Xiaolian become so valuable? We need an army of 50,000 people to exchange for it."
Zhang Fei was already furious at this time: "Those idiots are so disgusting, they actually insulted my elder brother like this. I, Lao Zhang, will kill them."
With that said, Zhang Fei stood up and was about to take his soldiers and horses to the city to kill those wealthy families.
Liu Bei shouted: "Sit down, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Fei respected Liu Bei very much. After listening to Liu Bei's words, he had no choice but to sit down and take a swig of wine.
"You are such a coward and feel aggrieved. Why don't we take over this Zhuo County instead? Then the eldest brother will be the prefect, the second brother will be the county captain, the fourth brother will be the county magistrate, and I will be the school captain or something like that. Wouldn't it be nice!"
None of the other three people took Zhang Fei's nonsense seriously.
This is obviously impossible.
Guan Yu's eyes were slightly squinted at this time, and the cold light flashing inside could be faintly seen. It was obvious that Liu's humiliation made him have murderous intention in his heart.
Chen Yuan was also very angry. He originally thought that with the achievement of defeating an army of 50,000 people, Liu Bei could at least get an official position, so that they would have some foundation.
For this purpose, he did not hesitate to let Liu Bei give Zou Jing a share of the credit for defeating the Yellow Turbans, but in the end he still let the Zhuojun family be disturbed.
Damn it, they must be taught a lesson, otherwise this tone will never come out.
However, behavior like what Zhang Fei said is naturally undesirable, it is a dead end.
Nowadays, the imperial court's strength still exists, and whoever dares to jump out and rebel will die.
Don't you see that when the heroes were vying for the throne, Yuan Shu was the first one to jump out and proclaim himself emperor, and then he was destroyed by several coalition forces.
Boss Cao, a man of great talent and great strategy, never proclaimed himself emperor throughout his life. Although there were personal reasons, it was also one of the important reasons why the Han Dynasty's prestige in the world was not exhausted.
Therefore, no matter how much you do secretly, you must respect the Emperor of Han on the surface. This is a bit like the Zhou Dynasty back then.
The princes are divided into different ranks, and the countries compete for hegemony, but they all respect the Emperor of Zhou.
So how can we not only teach them a lesson, but also get Liu Bei an official position?
Chen Yuan's brain began to spin crazily, but after spinning for a while, Chen Yuan found that it seemed that his intelligence was insufficient and he could not think of a good solution.
I still don’t believe it.
Chen Yuanyi gritted his teeth and focused all the 10 attribute points accumulated on the system panel on intelligence.
If the intelligence of 70 is not good, what about 80?
As soon as 10 attribute points were added, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a breeze blowing through his mind, and then a clear stream seemed to moisten his whole mind. His spirit and thoughts were extremely concentrated and fast, and countless information began to flow in
Summarize and analyze in your mind.
Finally, I came up with a complete solution.
A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth. Not only must these people go home and kneel down to ask Liu Bei to become an official, but they must also contribute some money and food. Otherwise, I, Chen Yuan, would have wasted ten attribute points in vain.
This strategy is to hide from the sky, bloom on the trees, and finally turn against the customers, severely increasing the strength of this small group.
