Chapter 52: The Hidden Dragon Liu Bei (1)

Butterflies in South America can whip their wings and cause a typhoon in a distant place through various chain reactions; This is the butterfly effect. In the same way, Xiao Yi's bloody battle at Yanmen Pass also shocked the people of Kyushu in the Han Dynasty......

Youzhou, outside the west gate of Jixian County, a caravan selling horses is marching on the official road, these horses are fat and strong, the color of the coat is pure, the spirit is vigorous when running, at a glance it is a purebred Hun war horse from the grassland outside the Saiwai, now in the interior of the Han Dynasty, such a war horse is a good commodity with no price, often hard to find!

The two people led by the caravan were wearing high-quality fox fur coats, tiger belts around their waists, cowhide fast boots with high soles under their feet, and swords around their waists.

As soon as he entered Jixian County, the fatigue of running around for days immediately came up, looking at the guys behind him who were all tired and out of shape, Zhang Shiping said to Su Shuang: "Big brother, brothers this trip can be described as birth and death, it is better to repair in Jixian County for a few days and recover your strength, it just so happens that General Liu, the patriarch of the Han family, and his two sworn brothers live here, why don't we take the opportunity to visit, and we have done our best!" ”

"Well, what the second brother said is very true, I also specially left ten jars of fine wine for General Zhang San in the back car, as well as a good fox fur and a few good horses, and sent them to General Liu."

If there is anyone in this world who has the sharpest vision, it is none other than a businessman, when they first met the declining Han clan - Liu Bei, the two of them found with keen intuition that Liu Bei is as deep as the sea, ambitious, and the most rare thing is that he also has a peculiar affinity, whether it is a peddler pawn, or a child of the scholar clan, he can't help but get close to him, trust him, follow him, such a character, the world usually calls it 'the master'!

After the two arranged the caravan, they took a few men to the door of a small mansion in the east of the city, the house was not large, but it was quite neat, it seemed that it should be the private residence of a certain official, there was an old servant in front of the door listening, seeing a group of people dressed luxuriously, and carrying a large number of gifts to the door, hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Dare to ask General Liu Bei if he can be in the mansion? The old people of Zhongshan, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, came to visit. ”

"The two adults are waiting, General Liu is in the mansion, and the villain will pass it on immediately!" The old servant did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned and ran towards the house.

After a while, with a burst of hearty laughter, three people walked out of the house, the first one was seven feet five inches tall, his hands were over his knees, his face was like white jade, and his lips were greased, especially his ears, which were surprisingly big, and the thick earlobes were big and round, so a noble face, it was Liu Bei, the patriarch of the Han family, it can be said that half of the reason why Su and Zhang valued Liu Bei was because they were moved by his extraordinary appearance, which shows that whether it is modern or ancient, people are face-fighting......

Liu Bei was followed by two big men, one was nine feet long and two feet long; The face is like a heavy jujube; Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, majestic; The other is eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, the voice is like a huge thunder, the momentum is like a galloping horse, not angry but mighty; It was Liu Bei's two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; Since the three of them got married in Taoyuan, they have sworn to live and die together, and they are inseparable, even if Liu Bei goes out to meet guests, Guan Zhang and the two have to stand aside.

A few days ago, because Zhang Fei angrily beat the superintendent who wanted to bribe, Liu Bei had to run away with his two brothers, relying on his ability to travel widely and be good at dancing with long sleeves, he took refuge in his old classmate - Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou of Beiping, and was arranged to live in a private house in Gongsun Zan in Jixian County.

The three of them were discussing things in the hall just now, when they suddenly heard a report from the next person that their two big financiers, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, came to visit, and hurriedly took the two brothers out to greet them; These two people not only have millions of family assets, they can give themselves a lot of financial support, but more importantly, businessmen are running around, and they are the most well-informed, which is what Liu Bei, who is now living at home, needs the most.

"I don't know that the two gentlemen have come to this point, so they can't be far away, and they will forgive their sins in person!" As soon as they met, Liu Bei bowed to the two of them with a warm face, and his attitude was very humble, you must know that in this era, the hierarchy of people is very clear, scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping Even though he has millions of family assets, he is still a businessman at the end of the four peoples in terms of identity, and his status is lowly and despised by others; On the other hand, no matter how frustrated Liu Bei was, he was a high-ranking member of the Han family in terms of identity, and now he preemptively saluted and greeted him, and immediately moved the two big businessmen to tears......

A person, especially a businessman who has been despised by society for a long time, is not most interested in money, but the respect of others, although they can usually wear silk and satin, and spend money like earth, but even the poorest peasants who work on the land can look at them with contempt, because they are the 'end of the four people', and those dignitaries and dignitaries like the goods they bring, but look at them with the same eyes as a wagon, or because they are the 'end of the four people', this is the sorrow of the merchants……

Now, a member of the Han clan who is still above the scholar clan treats them so politely, no wonder the two of them are so moved, at this time, they are asked to give all their net worth to Liu Bei, I am afraid they will not shake their heads, men live a face, and the same is true for businessmen!

This is Liu Bei's personal charm, no matter who he is, even if he is a lowest-ranking pawn, he can treat each other politely, and with him, it will always make people feel like a spring breeze, no wonder there will be so many heroes who are willing to die for him later, this is an ability, a very terrible ability.

"The master is the king, the friend is the boss, and the apprentice is dead!" Later generations evaluated the figures of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao won the sky, Sun Quan took advantage of the land, and Liu Bei got --- people.

Everyone returned to the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, and their own servants offered tea, Su Shuang and the two of them first sent the fox fur to the big gun, and then pointed to the ten jars on the ground 'Wuwu Wine' and said: "I have heard that the three generals are good to drink, and I specially sent ten jars of fine wine, and I hope the general will accept it." ”

"Haha! Thank you two gentlemen, I know that Zhang loves wine the most in his life! Zhang Fei, who had already seen the wine jar, hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Don't think that Zhang Fei is a rude person when he looks mighty, in fact, he was born in a scholar's family, studied since he was a child, and knows etiquette, but he is the most educated of the three brothers.

couldn't wait to walk to the wine jar, slapped open the sealing mud, and in an instant, a strong aroma of wine wafted in the small living room, even Liu Bei, who is usually not good at drinking, Guan Yu couldn't help but raise his nose and smell it......

"Good wine, good wine! The throat is like a knife, and it is as fierce as fire, this is the wine that the husband drinks! Good! All right! Zhang Fei hurriedly took the wine bowl, first poured wine for Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and then poured a full bowl for himself, as for the wine bowl of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping on the side, it was poured by the old servant, this is Zhang Fei's character, although he respects the gentleman, he never looks down on the villain. In this world, apart from his eldest brother Liu Bei and second brother Guan Yu, there are really few people who can make Zhang Sanye pour wine......

Wine is rare, in the approaching cold season, it is indeed a great pleasure to be able to drink a bowl of such spirits, even Liu Bei, who usually rarely drinks alcohol, can't help but drink a few more sips, but no matter how much he drinks, there is no chaos between the salutes and conversations, showing strong self-control, but Guan Yu on the side is the more he drinks, the redder his face becomes......

"I wonder where the two gentlemen came from? Look at the color of this wind and dust, is this trip far away? Is it safe on the road? Between small talk, Liu Bei naturally brought the topic out!

"Hey! It's hard to put it into words, this business is really a life-and-death, thanks to the help of nobles, this is a lucky return! Su Shuang pointed to a few Hun war horses in the courtyard and continued, "It's not a secret, our two brothers recently went to the Saibei grassland, and it was not easy to get these treasures back......"

At the moment, Su Shuang told the caravan all the things he saw and heard along the way, they were in the business world, and they couldn't be clearer about things everywhere, there were the earth-shattering changes in Luoyang, there were various rumors of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and there were twists and turns before and ......after Dong Zhuo's domination of the Beijing Division, and all major events were slowly said in Su Shuang's mouth, not to mention, this businessman's eloquence is really good, and he is well-read and knowledgeable, and he said things clearly, Liu Bei's three brothers all listened attentively, and naturally talked about many characters in the conversation, 'General He Jin, Ten Standing Attendants, Situ Wang Yun, Brother Yuan, Flying General Lu Bu, and the 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang!' that everyone feared! ’

When the guests and hosts were happy, Su and Zhang got up to say goodbye and leave, Liu Bei personally sent them out of the door, and the two were excited, and when they returned to the living room, Liu Bei was full of sorrow, sorrow and a hint of joy to Guan and Zhang The two brothers said: "This world, there is going to be a big mess......
