Brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also looked around, and sure enough they saw that there was only one feathered arrow stuck in the red heart of the target, and it was still swinging there. Mi Zhu was worried that Zhang Liao would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly scolded Mi Zhen: "
Zhen'er must not be rude!"
But Zhang Liao jumped off the horse with a smile and said: "Zhang has made a fool of himself, why don't we go to the target and look for it to see where the other two arrows went?"
When everyone came to the archery target, Mi Zhu and his sister were all stunned. Two more arrows were not missed. It was clear that all three arrows were shot at the same point. The first two arrows had already passed through the target and were directly embedded in the target.
On the poplar tree behind the target, if the two arrows were not blocking it, the last arrow would have passed through the target.
Faced with Zhang Liao's incredible archery skills, Mi Zhu brothers were so impressed that they insisted on keeping him in Mi Mansion for dinner. Zhang Liao's original mission was to try to make friends with Xuzhou's civil and military people, so naturally he got what he wanted. Mi Zhu also ordered people to go to the street to invite Zhang Qing.
, as a result, Zhang Qing was busy diagnosing the common people and refused to come over for this meal no matter what.
After drinking for three rounds, Mi Zhu suddenly said: "General Zhang is so skilled in martial arts, why doesn't he choose to serve as a master?"
Zhang Liao didn't expect that such a cautious person as Mi Zhu would ask such unreasonable questions. He couldn't help but put down his wine glass, looked at Mi Zhu playfully, and said with a sarcastic tone: "Then who does Mr. Mi think is the master? Could it be that he wants me to submit to him?"
Master Tao?"
Mi Zhu also had some idea of the impending chaos in the world. He knew that it was difficult for Tao Qian to protect himself. How could he attract talents? How could a hero like Zhang Liao agree to serve Tao Qian? Hearing Zhang Liao's words, there was some displeasure.
, Mi Zhu also felt that what he said was a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "Although Tao Shijun is an upright man, he is already in his twilight years. There is another person Mi said. This person's surname is Liu, and his given name is Xuande. He is from your family."
Like the Lord, he is also a member of the Han family. He has high aspirations, is courteous and courteous, diligent in government and loves the people. He will definitely be the lord of Xuzhou in the future."
Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "I know this man. I met him once in Luoyang. My lord once warned him not to pretend to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect that he would come to Xuzhou again to show off and deceive. He is a complete hypocrite."
people!"
This time it was Mi Zhu's turn to be surprised and asked in a low voice: "What did you say? How could Mr. Xuande pretend to be a member of the Han clan?"
Zhang Liao waved his hand and said: "It's a long story, and the reason behind it is not very clear to Zhang. However, when my lord said these words, Liu Bei didn't express any objection. To tell you the truth, Zhang
Originally a junior colonel in the Bingzhou Army, he admired Lu Bu's reputation and followed him to surrender to Dong Zhuo. This was the biggest mistake in Zhang's life! Later, Zhang was ordered to stop the Jingzhou Army from going north, and met with General Huang under his lord's command outside Yique Pass.
After a fierce battle, he missed and was captured."
Mi Zhu was even more surprised and asked: "Is there anyone under Mr. Liu who is better than you in martial arts? Is it because Mr. Liu didn't kill you that you are willing to serve him?"
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "More than one of the generals in Jingzhou is better than Zhang in martial arts. Only when I got there did I know what there is outside the world. Zhang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He surrendered to the Lord because he is one of the few wise masters in the world."
!When Zhang was in Bingzhou, he also heard rumors that my lord was greedy for money, lustful, cruel and unkind. In fact, this was not the case. My lord was versatile in both civil and military affairs and loved the people like a son. On his way back to Xiangyang, he once wrote a poem. I
It is still fresh in my memory. I was lying in the county office listening to the rustling bamboos, which I suspected were the sounds of suffering among the people. I am a small official in Caozhou County, and I care about each branch and leaf."
Mi Zhu couldn't help but froze and murmured: "Did I make mistakes in the past?"
From the first time she saw Liu Bei, Mi Zhu was attracted by his manners and manners. When she learned that Liu Bei was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, she was even more determined to regard him as the lord of Xuzhou, so she took the initiative to give in to Tao Qian.
However, Zhang Liao's words shook his mind. Regardless of what kind of person Liu Xin was, he couldn't accept the fact that Liu Bei pretended to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he stopped fighting.
Zhang Liao's idea was just to drink wine.
On the streets of Xuzhou, Zhang Qing was still surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside. A group of people passed by them. The leader was a red-faced man with a long beard and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword. He was none other than the Martial Saint Guan Yu. He turned to the crowd inadvertently.
After taking a look, he couldn't help but say "ah" with a look of surprise on his face. They were all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but there were some slight differences in their attire. Although ordinary people could not recognize them, Guan Yu could see the dozen or so orders at a glance.
The soldiers came from Jingzhou.
Guan Yu had just returned from the plains to pick up Liu Bei's family when he suddenly saw the Jingzhou Army appearing in Xuzhou. He was shocked and quickly reined in his horse and called a commoner to inquire about it. He found out that Liu Xin was sent to treat Tao Qian's illness.
Then I felt relieved.
After garrisoning the army in Xiaopei, Liu Bei's life gradually became better. Not only was all the money, food and military supplies provided by Xuzhou, Tao Qian also allocated an additional 4,000 troops and horses to him. With the original troops and horses, he now looked like a prince.
Liu Bei was particularly happy to see Guan Yu come back, not because Guan Yu had brought his family. After Liu Bei became the county magistrate, he married several wives and concubines. It is said that because of his tough life, most of these wives and concubines were "killed" by him.
, only Gan was left. Guan Yu said he had brought his family, but in fact he only brought Gan and two maids. Moreover, in order to win over Guan Yu, Liu Bei always sat at the same table with Guan Yu.
We slept at the same table and didn't have much time to meet Mr. Gan.
What really made Liu Bei happy was that Guan Yu also brought his old acquaintance Jian Yong. Jian Yong was the same age as Liu Bei and had known each other since childhood. He was good at debating matters and not sticking to trivial matters. When Liu Bei raised troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, he often helped him.
He makes plans.
Liu Bei always kept a low profile in Xiaopei, and tried to keep a distance from Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others, and tried his best to maintain his good image. Because he knew that apart from Guan Yu, a master, he could only rely on buying people's hearts. This is also
The reason why he ignored Liu Xin's warning and insisted that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. However, after all, there were too few people around him to use. Although Jian Yong was not a resourceful person, he was still a rare and good assistant.
However, when Liu Bei heard Guan Yu say that he saw the Jingzhou Army in Xuzhou City, his heart couldn't help but "thump". To be honest, Liu Bei had a natural fear of Liu Xin, although Liu Xin was smiling all day long.
Yes, but those eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart.
Guan Yu saw the sorrow on Liu Bei's face and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I have inquired, those people are just sent by Liu Xin to help Tao Zhoumu see a doctor."
Liu Bei's mood did not improve, but became even heavier. The reason why he declined Tao Qian's resignation was not only to show his noble character in front of everyone, but also more importantly, he could see that Tao Qian's body could not hold up.
It had been several years. Liu Xin seemed to be specifically against him. He not only exposed his false identity, but also sent people to treat Tao Qian. Liu Bei's city was very deep, and his true thoughts would naturally not be against Guan Yu.
What he said was that he just sighed worriedly and thought about his own countermeasures.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Sun Ce's health gradually improved and he was able to move around. However, it would take several more months for him to truly recover. Han Dang, after Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji's joint treatment, was no longer alive.
It's dangerous, but my body is still very weak. Even if my left arm is not disabled, I won't be able to exert too much force in the future.
For the past month, a carriage would come to pick Wu Shu up every afternoon. It would take about an hour and a half before she came back, but she refused to tell everyone where she had gone. Because of this, Wu Xian's misunderstanding of her became more and more serious.
It was getting deeper and deeper, but considering that the lives of the whole family were in Liu Xin's hands, she had no choice but to hold back.
On this day, Wu Shu was picked up by the carriage as usual, but she went directly to the medical school. Sitting in the car, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. These days, mother and son also meet often, but today is different.
After obtaining Hua Tuo's consent, she could take Sun Ce to see Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others, tell him exactly what happened, and take him to burn a stick of incense in front of Sun Jian's grave and kowtow a few times.
.
The scene that everyone was worried about did not appear. Sun Ce just shed a few tears silently and did not take any big actions. Although he had a bad temper, he also knew that the Sun family was no longer what it used to be, so he just gritted his teeth and vented his anger.
I swear that I will kill Tao Qian in the future to avenge my father!
On the same day, the state pastoral office was also busy. Sisters Ling'er and Xiu'er each successfully gave birth to a baby girl at almost the same moment. They had two daughters in succession. Liu Xin was in a good mood and felt that today was a lucky day.
Immediately ordered the Xiangyang Illusion Museum and Dahan Bank, which had been prepared for many days, to open at the same time on this day.
In the past month, Yu Ji has eaten well, slept soundly, and is accompanied by two pretty maids specially sent by Liu Xin. Yu Ji's old cow eats tender grass and regains his second youth. Standing on the stage, he gradually
He has regained the radiant spirit of his former immortal spirit.
At that time, there were few popular entertainment programs, and there were not many people performing on the streets, let alone a performance venue specifically for the public. The illusion hall began to promote it ten days before its opening, and there were many merchants coming from the south to the north in Xiangyang.
It is a city that never sleeps. On that day, there was a sea of people in front of the illusion hall. Many people who could not get in found it very enjoyable to stand outside and listen to the applause inside.
After a day's performance, Yu Ji complained that he was tired. However, when he saw the money piled up on the table, he smiled happily. If he had known how to make money by opening an illusion hall, who would be willing to become a liar?
Liu Xin was also very happy. Back then, Zhang Jiao relied on his sometimes good and sometimes bad medical skills to win over people's hearts. Now that there is a medical school in Xiangyang, many of Zhang Ji's first disciples have gone to various places to open their own medical clinics.
, and the people's lives are getting better and better day by day, Taiping Dao will naturally no longer have a market in Jingzhou. However, the harm of illusion is greater than Taiping Dao. If it falls into the hands of someone who is interested and used to deceive people, it will not only
It's a matter of defrauding people of money, and it can even endanger Liu Xin's rule. In fact, illusions are just that, and to be honest, they are worthless. Now that they are performed in public for everyone to see, everyone naturally knows that those things are fake.
In the future, if someone in Xiangyang wants to use these things to defraud or incite the people, where will there be a market?
However, another piece of news made Liu Xin unhappy.
