Chapter 588 Red Face, Big Sword
Liu Zhang's reaction was so strong that it directly aroused the sideways glance of Lu Su beside him.
"My lord knows?"
Does Liu Zhang know him?
He definitely doesn't know it!
But seeing the other party's flushed face, he had to get to know him!
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, there should only be two people who used a big sword with a flushed face!
Guan Yu and Wei Yan.
The former has been firmly set by Liu Bei, and there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.
The latter is not necessarily the case, and it is very likely that he will travel thousands of miles to Yizhou to fight for a chance.
Guan Yu and Wei Yan have infinite similarities, and the most similar thing is their origin.
Guan Yu was an ordinary citizen, but later became a fugitive because of murder. This kind of background is not enough to be brought up on the table in this era, otherwise Yuan Shu would not be angrily scolded to 'fork it out'!
Guan Yu's background is bad enough, but Wei Yan is far inferior to Guan Yu, his background is even worse!
In history, Wei Yan was not Liu Biao's general. On the contrary, he joined Liu Bei as a trilogy when Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye.
The word trilogy may be relatively rare for Yizhou, because all the soldiers and horses in Yizhou are directly under the Yizhou Mu Liuzhang.
In other words, regardless of any soldiers and horses led by anyone, Liu Zhang can change the leader at any time.
Liu Zhang's thinking has always been to concentrate all soldiers and horses under his own command. They only belong to the monarch, not to any general.
But apart from Yizhou, it is not so good for other princes.
Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or Sun Ce, Liu Biao, all the generals under their command have private soldiers, and the general's private soldiers can also become a part.
These parts don't recognize anyone, only their masters.
This system is the most serious in Jiangdong, especially when it comes to the treatment of Shanyue!
Jiangdong's policy is that whoever captures it belongs to him, which is why Jiangdong's generals are so keen to attack Shanyue.
Due to excessive reliance on the power of the family, each family that seeks refuge will retain some armed forces, and the trilogy is also produced.
Historically, because Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, and the veterans who followed him were killed and injured, he had no choice but to go to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao, who was later settled in Xinye by Liu Biao.
It was at this time that Wei Yan joined Liu Bei's command, but his original identity was not a general, but a trilogy.
In this era, who would join the forces as a trilogy?
That is to be down to the point of being unable to survive, to be alone, or to bring the whole family together to join the forces.
Reminiscent of Wei Yan's experience after Zhuge Liang's death, one can know how humble Wei Yan's background is. Yang Yi, who belongs to the Jingzhou faction and is not a rich family, even sneers at him!
With such down-and-out, and with such martial arts and talent, Wei Yan is probably the number one person in the world!
After all, Wei Yan has the talent to lead the army and the appearance of a general. After a little training, he can get a general who can stand alone!
Perhaps Wei Yan might not be inferior to Guan Yu, but the difference in treatment between the two is too great.
"Zijing knows that Liu Bei has a foster brother, whose surname is Guan, whose name is Yu, and whose name is Yunchang!"
Seeing Liu Zhang mentioning Liu Bei's generals suddenly, Lu Su was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.
"I've heard, I heard that this person is extremely brave, and has unmatched courage!"
Guan Yu is destined to be a regret in Liu Zhang's heart!
"That's right! Zijing may not know that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past, Liu Bei was not dissatisfied with Qian, and he was no more than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Rescue Lu Zhi met by coincidence."
"Liu Bei claims to be a descendant of the Han family. After seeing anyone claiming that he is King Jing of Zhongshan, he always sticks the label of being a descendant of the Queen of Han. Later, I checked with Ren Zongzheng's late father, and it was impossible to investigate at all! "
Even when Liu Bei was mentioned at this time, Liu Zhang still gritted his teeth.
A trace of solemnity flashed in Lu Su's eyes, he did not mean to look down on Liu Bei.
"My lord, this Liu Bei is a down-and-out person, but he is good at taking advantage of the situation and is good at deceiving people. It is said that Tao Qian is willing to give up all the five counties of Xuzhou to him! Liu Bei is dissatisfied with the Central Plains and Hebei. It is said that even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao All respect for him!"
Liu Bei has become the lord of a state from weaving mats and shoes to now. He is definitely a capable person who can make a name for himself in troubled times.
Although far inferior to Liu Zhang, Lu Su did not want Liu Zhang to despise him too much.
"That's right! Liu Bei is famous all over the world now, but who can really see through the heart of this big-eared thief!"
"At the beginning, Liu Bei was unknown and had no official position, so I proposed to rely on my father Zongzheng to rectify Liu Bei's name, so that his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty could be confirmed, and then I recommended him to be the prefect of a county, so that he could really Serve for the big man. And my only request is to let Guan Yu come to serve under my command."
As a result, Lu Su must have guessed it. After all, Guan Yu was still playing in front of Liu Bei, but this story once again refreshed Lu Su's understanding of Liu Bei.
"My lord, this Liu Bei is really not simple. Perhaps he has already seen that the world will be in chaos! In troubled times, these false names often do not play a decisive role! Thousands of troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find! Guan Yu is such a great general, It’s even more elusive!”
Liu Zhang's resentment towards Liu Bei is also here. Liu Bei claims to be benevolent and righteous, and talks about revitalizing the Han Dynasty all day long, but does he really think so?
"Zijing, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, Liu Zhang, shouted to revive the Han Dynasty. I have always followed my own ideas and worked hard to solve the suffering of the people from the root cause, so that the big man can return to the real prosperity!"
"But what about Liu Bei? He is just using the guise of revitalizing the Han Dynasty for personal gain! This kind of troubled times is really abominable!"
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei couldn't wait to succeed to the throne, even under the banner of Liu Xie's death.
Perhaps Liu Bei couldn't wait for a long time, and even waited for the day when Cao Cao and his son drove Liu Xie away!
"My lord, why did you mention Liu Bei all of a sudden? Could it be that this person has something to do with Liu Bei?"
Liu Zhang smiled. They should have some relationship, but because of his appearance, I am afraid that the two will never have any intersection again.
If there is one, it can only be an enemy facing life and death!
"Observe this person, what is your first impression?"
Lu Su fixed his eyes on the two fighting on the stage, and sized them up carefully.
"This person... seems to have a particularly red face..."
Lu Su really couldn't see anything, everything was no different from ordinary people, except for that face.
"Not bad! A brave general with a red face and a big knife in his hand is exactly the characteristic of Guan Yu!"
Lu Su's eyes widened, and he immediately looked at the red-faced man in surprise.
"Is this person Guan Yu?"
