"A few thousand is not enough, so let's use a thousand, Datong. Now that Yu Jin, relying on his military exploits at Dagu Pass, is on an equal footing with me. How can we bear this tone?"
"Well, not one thousand, but five hundred. In three months, I will ask Ziyang to deliver it to your army personally!"
Fang Guang thought for a while and realized that the Xiahou brothers were his own. He gritted his teeth and agreed. Seeing Xiahou Yuan's happy face, Fang Guang's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
"Wonderful talent, you can't take things for nothing. My lord has already agreed on Xu Huang's matter. This man is a talented person, but now he has no soldiers under his command!"
"You are in Runan and you have received so many strong bodies from Liu Xun. Take some out and give them to Xu Gongming to play with!"
"If you want someone, it's easy to talk about. Not to mention three thousand, five thousand can be given, armor, weapons, just let Xu Huang take note of it himself, shouldn't Datong help him worry about it?"
"That's you. In a word, the former prisoner has now become a lieutenant under the lord's command!"
Xia Houyuan agreed immediately, and Xia Houdun even teased Fang Guang.
He knew the inside story of the matter the most. Fang Guang valued Xu Huang and approached Cao Cao, the lord who was always the most disciplined in the army. He agreed without saying a word.
Let's do some calculations. In Cao Cao's army, Fang Guang is now a faction of his own, with many powerful generals. If Cao Cao didn't trust him to a certain extent, how could he trust Fang Guang to form his own faction?
"Okay, that's it. When the oat-eating horses grow up at my horse farm in Dongjun, I will personally select a hundred good horses and give them to the three Xiahou generals!"
"Come on, drink!"
Fang Guang picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, and several famous generals from the Three Kingdoms raised their hands and drank it down.
Xia Houen drank a glass of wine and secretly glanced at Zhao Yun, who was blushing.
I don’t know why, but Cao Ying’s most powerful general’s heart will beat hard when he sees this young man from Changshan.
The episode that almost made Liu Bei's hair turn gray from worry was just a matter of a few words from Fang Guang's side.
Zhao Yun invited Xu Huang out from Fang Guang's residence and told the man who had been framed by Big Er about the incident. Xu Huang was overjoyed after hearing this, picked up the cup, and drank three cups in a row.
The few people had similar minds, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more congenial. They were in a high mood. Suddenly, outside the house, Guan Hai opened the door and walked in with a strange look on his face.
"Datong, there is someone outside the house asking to see him and bringing him a gift. Do you want to see him or not?"
"Who is it? In the past few days, because of the construction work and the shops in the East and West Markets, the threshold of my house has been lowered by half an inch!"
"It's still the same old rule. You look at an acquaintance, greet him politely, and ask him to write down what he wants on the letter. Just say that he is really busy, and I must forgive you. If you can, I will do it for him!"
When Fang Guang heard someone coming to the door, he had a wry smile on his face. Several rooms in his house were already filled with gifts, but he couldn't even accept them.
Along with Emperor Xian, there were hundreds of leaders from aristocratic families. Although most of these people have lost power now, they are all from high-ranking families. If Fang Guang refuses even a little bit, he might offend someone!
"What? You're not going yet? Who is this person? Do you recognize him?"
After Fang Guang finished his instructions, he saw that Guan Hai still looked embarrassed, seemed to want to laugh, and had no intention of going out, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Datong, it's Liu Da'er who's here, and he's bringing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him. Didn't you see that Guan Yu's face is much redder than when he was in the plains?"
"Zhang Fei lowered his body and almost burrowed into the soil!"
"What? Liu Bei is here to give you a gift?"
"Big-eared man, I must kill him!"
"The favor I received with one sword that day will be repaid today!"
Fang Guang was shocked when he heard that Liu Bei had come to visit. Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, the two people who had suffered greatly at the hands of the three Taoyuan brothers, stood up at the same time, with murderous looks on their faces.
The three Xiahous here were all well aware of the grievances between Datong and Liu Bei. Seeing that blood might be spilled on Xuchang today, the Xiahou brothers quickly stood up and blocked the door.
"Datong, my lord has already spoken about Xuande's matter, please bear with it for now."
"If a quarrel breaks out now, even if Datong is polite, the Lord will not be able to save his face!"
"This Liu Xuande is really capable of bending and stretching when riding a horse. I heard that he has been looking for disciples everywhere in Xuchang these days, and wants to appoint a county as the county guard. Unexpectedly, he found it here today!"
"This man, this man, I'm afraid his face is thicker than the city wall to be built in Datong!"
Xia Hou En and Xia Hou Yuan grabbed Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Xia Hou Dun looked down upon Liu Bei with contempt.
Fang Guang thought for a while, he was burdened with big things, and Liu Bei, who had nothing to do, really couldn't afford it, so he couldn't help but raised his hand to Guan Hai impatiently.
"Old manager, let him go. What kind of shabby gift can equal the gift from Pingyuan that day?"
"I was originally happy today, but don't let this person ruin your alcoholism!"
After Fang Guang finished speaking, Guan Hai agreed and rushed out. Everyone in the room looked at each other, feeling that this incident was both annoying and funny.
In front of Fang's house, Fang Guang was guarding the house. Liu Bei was still smiling, not at all ashamed to come.
Behind him, Guan Yu completely closed his eyes. He only acted based on his feelings and decided not to speak today.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, rarely fought with his hands. He wished he could rush in and kill Fang Guang in order to wash away today's shame.
"Second brother, third brother, when we were in a hurry, what did you and I say?"
"When Emperor Guangwu was in trouble, the green forest thieves, Emperor Gengshi, killed his brother after Liu Xiu's great victory. How about the late emperor? He didn't tolerate it, so he went to Hebei!"
"It's the same reason today. But as human beings, the three of my brothers, Fang Guang, are like dust in the face of the light of the right path."
Liu Bei whispered softly, in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, Guan and Zhang, and began to build his mind.
Guan Yu still closed his eyes and said nothing. Zhang Fei felt a little better when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from Fang Guang's residence.
Guan Hai stood in front of the three people with faint excitement.
"This is not the General Guan back then. He used to kill thieves with me in the plains. How about it? Can Datong have some free time to reminisce about old times?"
With Liu Bei's emotional intelligence and shame, he tried his best to say these few words.
Guan Hai made a sound, without even looking at Da Er, and pointed at the street behind the three of them.
"Liu Xuande, leave quickly, don't block my lord's feng shui!"
"Who wants your junk? Don't dirty the Datong mansion. Go, go, go!"
Guan Hai finally became stunned today, bluffing his hands and making movements like chasing chickens and ducks.
Liu Bei's white face turned red, while Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and murderous aura spewed out.
Zhang Fei took a few steps forward and stood in front of his elder brother, his teeth clenching.
"You are such a talented person. Following the little thief Fang Guang, you dare to fight against the power of others. Come, come, let's see your Grandpa Zhang Fei's fist!"
Zhang Fei was anxious and wanted to use violence. Guan Hai was not afraid of him in the plains back then, let alone now, looking at Zhang Fei, he pressed one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"What, Zhuojun Butcher, do you want to fight today?"
"Do you know that in front of Datong, there are not a hundred people but dozens of people who want to beat you three brothers? If you dare to do it, you will never see the peach blossoms next year!"
