Chen Meng recalled the memories related to Liu Bei in later generations. Liu Bei was not very good at reading. He was kind-hearted, taciturn, and could express his emotions and anger. He was always ambitious and liked to make friends with the world's heroes. However, Liu Bei was very poor in the first half of his life.
It was so miserable that he still succumbed to Liu Biao in Jingzhou when he was in his forties. Otherwise, the idiom about the rebirth of the beard would not have come into being because of Liu Bei.
"Brother Xuande, a man should act like a man. Now I heard that Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, is recruiting rebels to encircle and suppress rebels and protect the country and the people. Why don't you and I respond to the call and recruit local warriors to join the rebel army?"
"Bi Zheng has this intention!"
After finishing speaking, the two people came to the list and looked up at it. After the two of them looked at it, Liu Bei and Chen Meng immediately let out heavy sighs. However, Liu Bei was speaking from his heart, while Chen Meng was following the trend.
And for.
"Why…!"
"Why…!"
At this time, a voice like thunder suddenly sounded behind the two of them:
"If a man doesn't contribute to the country, why are you two sighing here?"
When Liu Bei and Chen Meng heard this, they hurriedly turned around and looked behind them. They saw a strong man standing behind them, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard. His voice was like thunder, and his momentum was like a galloping horse. Chen Meng
He was overjoyed. There was no doubt that this person was Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. However, Liu Bei did not know this person.
Liu Bei saw this man's unusual appearance and couldn't help asking:
"May I ask the strong man Gao's name?"
I only heard the strong man say:
"My surname is Zhang Fei, my courtesy name is Yide. I have lived in Zhuo County for a long time. I usually make friends with heroes and righteous men. I just heard two heroes sighing here, so I asked this question."
"I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, the descendant of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan. My surname is Liu, my given name is Bei, and my courtesy name is Xuande."
"My surname is Chen, my given name is Meng, and my courtesy name is Gonggan. I have lived in Zhuojun for a long time."
After Chen Meng finished speaking, he said to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei:
"It's God's will that the three of us meet here today. How about we go to the tavern and talk while drinking?"
"That's great!" Liu Bei and Zhang Fei said.
Chen Meng brought Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to the tavern and found a seat to sit down. Chen Meng called the bartender and filled the three people with sake. Chen Meng took a sip of sake and said:
"Two brave men, now the rebel Yellow Turban Army wants to invade our Youzhou. I heard that the Yellow Turban Army is like the locusts. Wherever it goes, it burns government offices and robs villages and cities. The prefectures and counties have lost their basis, and most of the officials have fled. If
For this reason, when the Yellow Turban Army invades our Youzhou, won’t the people of our Youzhou suffer?”
After Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help sighing again, and then said:
"Bei is twenty-eight years old this year, and has wasted nearly thirty years. Nowadays, rebels are rampant. I want to kill the thieves, but I am unable to do so. It is really annoying."
Zhang Fei on the side heard this and said:
"What's so difficult about this? I have quite a lot of money. How about recruiting local warriors to help you accomplish great things together?"
"That's great!" Liu Bei and Chen Meng said.
The three of them were half drunk when they suddenly heard a voice outside the tavern:
"Bartender, fill up a bowl of sake quickly so that I can rush to join the army."
After Chen Meng heard this, he raised his head and looked at the man. He saw that the man was nine feet long, and his beard was two feet long. His face was like a jujube, and his lips were as if they were greased. He had red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows. He had a dignified and majestic appearance.
"This person should be Guan Yu. It turns out that Liu, Guan, and Zhang met each other in Zhuoxian County." Chen Meng thought in his mind.
That is Guan Yu, Chen Meng must get acquainted with him. I heard Chen Meng say:
"This strong man, here is a bowl of sake for the strong man."
After Guan Yu heard Chen Meng's words, he looked at Chen Meng, and then at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were sitting with Chen Meng. Guan Yu saw that the three of them were heroes and righteous men, so he walked up to them and picked up Chen Meng.
Meng gave me the gift of sake and drank it with a few gulps.
When Liu Bei saw Guan Yu finish drinking the sake, he asked:
"The three of us are here to discuss recruiting local warriors to join the rebel army. I just heard the strong man say that he also wants to join the rebel army. How about we join together?"
After Guan Yu heard this, he looked at the three of them and said:
"That's very good. My surname is Guan Mingyu, my courtesy name is Yunchang, and I am a good man from Hedong Province. Because of the strong and powerful people in this place, I killed them and fled the country for five or six years. I heard that we were recruiting troops to defeat thieves here.
Come apply."
Chen Meng and the others told Guan Yu their names one by one. After Guan Yu signaled to the three of them, he also sat down with Chen Meng and the others.
Chen Meng looked at the three people Liu, Guan, and Zhang in front of him. They were all high-spirited, decisive, and courageous in moving forward without hiding their ambitions. Seeing the three people talking loudly again, Chen Meng couldn't help but sigh. On Liu, Guan, and Zhang three people,
, Chen Meng saw the bloodiness and courage of the strong man.
Chen Meng took a sip of sake and said:
"On the way to Zhuo County, I saw that many villages are now deserted. There are many refugees on the road, all withered and pale. It is too difficult for ordinary people to live today."
After Guan Yu heard this, he drank all the sake in the bowl in one breath, and then said angrily:
"In today's world, ordinary people are too oppressed by powerful families. At that time, I just couldn't stand the powerful people bullying the innocent people just to get the land, so I killed a few people. The government and the powerful people were also in the way, and they didn't listen to excuses at all.
.But it’s a great blessing for Yu to know three of them now!”
After Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's words, he was about to speak, but unexpectedly the bartender came over and said:
"Four men, please don't say these words again. If this is heard by people in the government, not only will the four of you be imprisoned, but even this tavern will be implicated! Maybe it will be closed down. If the four of you are
If you talk about this again, please find another place!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he suddenly felt angry and shouted loudly:
"You guys, you are afraid of what he will do! If you are implicated, I, Zhang Fei, will just take the responsibility for you."
Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei was angry and said hurriedly:
"Widemo is angry. If the tavern is closed down by the government because of the four of us, it will be our fault. In my opinion, we should find another place!"
Chen Meng and Guan Yu also advised Zhang Fei not to be angry.
Zhang Fei saw that these three people were advising him that it was not good to do this anymore. He only heard Zhang Fei say:
"This wine is really unpleasant to drink. There is still a lot of good wine in my manor. If you three don't mind it, go to my manor together and we can continue drinking together."
Naturally, Chen Meng had no objection, because the next step was to sworn sworn brothers, which was exactly what Chen Meng wanted. Liu Bei and Guan Yu also agreed to go.
After the four people arrived at Zhang Fei's manor, Zhang Fei ordered his servant Duoduo to prepare wine and food, and the four of them had another deep drink in Zhang Fei's manor.
Seeing Liu, Guan, and Zhang drinking, Chen Meng couldn't help but sigh:
"The ancients drank so much!"
Chen Meng looked at the sky outside. Chen Meng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Why didn't Zhang Fei bring up the matter of marrying Jin Lan? Could it be that he drank too much?
Chen Meng waited for a while, and seeing that Zhang Fei still didn't say anything about it, he stopped waiting. Chen Meng said:
"The four of us have met each other today and are very close to each other. How about we pray to heaven and earth tomorrow, become brothers, and plan for great things together?"
After the three heard this, they all agreed. Zhang Fei said:
"Behind my manor, there is a peach orchard. I think it's just right. You three don't want to go back tonight, just stay at my manor."
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Zhang Fei ordered his servants to prepare sacrifices for heaven and earth in the Taoyuan. After the four people arrived at the Taoyuan, they burned incense and worshiped, saying:
"I, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Meng, although we have different surnames, have become brothers and work together to rescue the poor and help the people in danger. We report to the country and live in peace and prosperity. We do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I only wish to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
Emperors, queens, and queens, please learn from this fact that you will be treacherous and ungrateful, and both heaven and man will be killed!"
Among the four, Liu Bei is the elder brother, Guan Yu is the second, Zhang Fei is the second, and Chen Meng is the younger brother.
This is really the time to travel through the Three Kingdoms and become the fourth brother, changing history at this moment. This chapter has been completed!
