The long-lost brothers met again. This scene, and seeing the crystal tears in Liu Bei's eyes, Chen Meng suddenly thought of the scene that later generations had seen on TV, where relatives who had been separated for many years met.
"Brother, you are about to cry. It seems that you and this Gongsun Zan have a very good relationship!" Guan Yu also saw the tears in Liu Bei's eyes.
"Uh! I was blinded by the wind."
The gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Liu Bei walked out of the city gate to personally greet Gongsun Zan, who had come from afar.
The arrival of Gongsun Zan not only surprised Liu Bei, but also surprised Tao Qian.
"General Zhonglang, why are you here?" Tao Qian expressed the question in his heart.
"Zan heard that there were rebels in Guangyang County. Although he did not get permission from your majesty, Zan knew that he had the responsibility to maintain the stability of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Zante led two thousand light cavalry to Guangyang County to help assassinate Shi Po."
"General Zhonglang has great righteousness. If our Han generals are like General Zhonglang, how can we allow rebels to run rampant? When Qian took office as the governor of Youzhou, he wanted to ask Zhonglang to come here to suppress the traitors, but he was afraid that the Liaodong vassal country would suffer, so he did so
I dare not trouble the general."
After Tao Qian finished speaking, he gestured respectfully to Gongsun Zan to show his gratitude to the general, Gongsun Zan.
"Haha, the governor is too worried! The people of the Liaodong vassal state are now very afraid of me. Even if I am not here, they don't dare to have any plans." Gongsun Zan said with a smile.
"Haha! Qian heard that the Wuhuan people painted a portrait of General Zhonglang, and then asked the soldiers to shoot arrows at the portrait to improve the courage of their own people."
The White Horse Yi Cong formed by Gongsun Zan was powerful outside the Great Wall. Gongsun Zan was also extremely brave. Gongsun Zan's policy towards foreigners was to kill, which was very tough. His prestige in Liaodong was achieved by killing people.
.
"Zan, after learning that there were rebels in Guangyang County, he also led his men to rush over. On the way, he heard that Brother Xuande and his fourth brother only led 300 soldiers and captured a thousand people.
The guarded Guangyang City is truly admirable!"
After Liu Bei heard this, he smiled and said:
"This is all the result of my fourth brother."
After finishing speaking, he pointed at Chen Meng. Chen Meng stood up and said:
"My surname is Chen, my given name is Meng, and my courtesy name is Gonggan. I have lived in Zhuo County for a long time. I met my eldest brother in Zhuo County and became brothers of the opposite sex."
Liu Bei then introduced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Gongsun Zan one by one.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xuande could have such subordinates. It's really gratifying. I heard that Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an recognized Xuande as his brother. I don't know if this is true or not?"
After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei intently. After Chen Meng recognized Gongsun Zan, he kept paying attention to Gongsun Zan. After all, this person would have a lot of interaction with Liu Bei in the future.
Chen Meng was a little strange when he saw Gongsun Zan's expression when he looked at Liu Bei. Chen Meng couldn't understand this expression. He looked forward to Liu Bei's recognition, but also longed for Liu Bei's denial.
"Brother Bo'an heard that I was the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, so he went through the genealogy of the Liu family. After learning about the inheritance of my family, he confirmed that I was the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and then he recognized me as his younger brother. I am fully ashamed of it.
"
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Chen Meng took a special look at Gongsun Zan and found a strange light flashing in Gongsun Zan's eyes. Then he heard Gongsun Zan say:
"Ah! Brother Xuande is indeed a member of the royal family. You and I agreed to recognize Master Lu before, but Brother Xuande didn't mention his royal status at all, which is really admirable."
"This moment is the same as the other moment. I hope Brother Bogui won't be surprised." Liu Bei said respectfully.
Chen Meng looked at Liu Bei's expression. From Liu Bei's expression, Chen Meng could confirm that what the two men said at this time was not the truth. Chen Meng then thought about it. The two of them recognized Lu Zhi as their teacher at the same time, and they also recognized Lu Zhi as their teacher at Fengshi Mountain.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Meng didn't believe that Liu Bei had never told anyone about his identity as a descendant of the royal family. But I'm afraid no one believed Liu Bei at that time!
The identity of Liu Yu's royal family is generally recognized. Now that Liu Yu recognizes Liu Bei as his younger brother, that means he has recognized Liu Bei's identity. From then on, the world will believe and recognize the identity of the descendants of Liu Bei's royal family.
"Brother Xuande, he captured Guangyang City with only three hundred men, which is really a great achievement. I intend to recommend brother Xuande to the imperial court as the general's commander. I wonder if brother Xuande is interested?" Gongsun Zan
said.
When Chen Meng heard this, he immediately understood Gongsun Zan's intention. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you wanted to be an official, there were basically only two ways, one was to be filial and honest, and the other was to be recommended.
Being recommended by someone is usually recommended by a high-ranking official. After being recommended by a high-ranking official, you have to be grateful! During the Han Dynasty, people paid great attention to gratitude. So how to be grateful? The best way is to be with the high-ranking official.
, this also gave rise to the theory of forming parties for personal gain.
Chen Meng believed that Gongsun Zan suddenly recommended Liu Bei as a commander of another department, and he must have the intention to accept Liu Bei as his subordinate. After all, Liu Bei is not one person now, but four people, and all three of Liu Bei's brothers are aliens.
To ordinary people.
"Thank you so much for the recommendation, Brother Bogui. It's just that the officials accept their fate and have their own disposal by the court. Our ministers should follow the arrangements of the court."
When Liu Bei said these words, he basically rejected Gongsun Zan's kindness. However, Liu Bei did not say it directly, which could be regarded as leaving himself a little way out.
"Haha. I didn't expect Xuande to think like this. That's the case, so be it. However, when brother Xuande is in trouble, don't forget that there is Gongsun Bogui!"
After Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Bei rejected his kindness, he was not angry, which surprised Chen Meng.
"That's how it should be." Liu Bei said.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Xuande and Bogui came from the same sect, and were both disciples of Lu Ziqian. Lu Zigan brought out two good disciples!"
Tao Qian couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he heard that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei both learned from Lu Ziqian.
"Master Governor, now that Zan has come to Guangyang, there is no reason to return without success. I heard that the rebels in Jixian County plundered all the money and food in Jixian when they escaped from Jixian County. Zan is willing to exterminate the rebels for Master Governor.
Get back the property and food that were looted by the rebels." Gongsun Zan said domineeringly.
Tao Qian didn't expect that Gongsun Zan would take the initiative to ask Ying to hunt down the rebels. He was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"With General Zhonglang personally taking action, it will be easy to annihilate the rebels."
"Okay. The Governor will wait for the good news from Zan at his residence! Haha."
After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he walked out of the governor's mansion with a big smile.
Tao Qian looked at Gongsun Zan walking out of the meeting hall and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This chapter has been completed!
