Friendship in Taoyuan

By the time Liu Yan issued the recruitment notice, Liu Bei was already twenty-eight years old, but he said that Liu Bei was walking on the street as usual that day, and saw many people around him walking in the same direction, saying nothing.

He kept talking about joining the army and the Yellow Turban Army.

"Don't you know? The Yellow Turban Army is about to attack. Where can we, ordinary people, run? Now that the Grand Administrator has issued an order to recruit troops, how can we, a seven-foot-tall man, not be allowed to do so?"

"Apply to the recruitment, those Yellow Turban Army are also ordinary people. When we go to apply, it is the ordinary people fighting the ordinary people. The real gentlemen are still popular and drink spicy food. Even if they lose or win, we ordinary people will still suffer!"

"So what, this is a good opportunity to make achievements!"

"I'm going to leave you. I'm going to go home, pack up my belongings, and run away with my wife and children as soon as possible."

All kinds of discussions were going on along the way. Liu Bei also quickly came to the list. While reading, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. At this time, he heard a person with a loud voice behind him shouting sharply: "A man was born in

Between heaven and earth, if you don’t want to serve your country, but you sigh here and there, don’t you live up to your husband’s name?”

Liu Bei was slightly startled. He heard that this man's voice did not sound like that of an ordinary person, so he turned around and looked back. He looked up and down carefully, and saw that this man was more than eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and a voice like thunder.

He was as powerful as a galloping horse, so impressive that he was indeed not the image of an ordinary person.

When Liu Bei saw this man's appearance, he closed his hands and made a bow, asking for his name. The visitor also looked at Liu Bei, and after a moment he said in a loud voice: "My surname is Zhang Mingfei, and my courtesy name is Yide. I have lived here in Zhuojun for generations.

, I have a small farm and manor at home, and I sell wine and butcher pigs on weekdays. In my free time, I can make friends with the world's heroes. So I just saw you sighing while looking at the list, so I asked you this question."

Liu Bei sighed slightly again, and then said: "I was originally a member of the Han family, with a surname of Liu and a given name of Bei. I was the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. However, my generation has already seen the decline of my family. Now I heard that the Yellow Turban Army was in rebellion.

Although I have the ambition to eliminate thieves and protect the people and the world, my strength is weak and I am nearly thirty years old but I have done nothing, so I sigh."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei not only burst out laughing, but stretched out his thick arm to grab Liu Bei's shoulders, and said: "What do I think it is? I don't know that my Yide family still has some money and ancestral property. I will spend some after I go back."

I can use my wealth to recruit local warriors, and together with you in the future we can raise troops to eliminate thieves and bring peace to the people, what do you think?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "If brother has an idea, it will be a great thing!"

So Zhang Fei took Liu Bei to a restaurant in a nearby village to drink and chat. Zhang Fei had an extremely forthright personality. Although he looked rough, he was actually rough and detailed. While drinking with Liu Bei, he discussed world affairs.

"This time the Yellow Turbans were very powerful. I heard that they swept through more than ten states and counties in a short period of time. It's no wonder that the imperial court was in a hurry to issue the results, but this is indeed a good opportunity for us to make contributions!"

Liu Bei said.

"Thieves are nothing to worry about. Although I, Fei, are just a rough man who kills pigs, he still has some ideas of leading troops in war. I'm just waiting for a good opportunity to show off."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were drinking when they saw a burly man passing by. The man pushed a cart and put it down at the entrance of the store. He then went into the store and sat down. He called the waiter out and asked, "Do you have any meat or wine?"

Now I can go into the city and join the army."

Liu Bei saw that this man was also of extraordinary bearing. He was as short as nine feet in length, had a face as heavy as a jujube, and had a beautiful beard that was more than two feet long hanging to his chest. He had greased lips, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows. He really had a majestic appearance.

.

So Liu Bei also stepped forward to invite this man to sit with him, and then asked his name.

Dahan Dao said: "My surname is Guan Mingyu, my given name is Changsheng, and later I changed it to Yunchang. I am a good man from Hedong. Earlier, I just wanted to bully others because of the powerful people in my area. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I killed him and fled."

It has been more than five or six years since Jianghu came to this place. Now I heard that troops are being recruited here to defeat thieves, so I came here to apply."

After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "Brother, at first glance, he seems to be a man of extraordinary bravery. Today is a time of rebellion. Wouldn't a man want to eliminate the chaos and serve the country? The three of us must have the same ambition, so why not become a couple?

Brothers with different surnames, we vow to safeguard the people and the country in the future and create a great cause together!"

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were both magnificent in appearance and not as ordinary as ordinary people. After listening to Liu Bei's words, he lamented that he had been alone in the world for many years but had no comrades for a long time, so he was overjoyed and agreed.

After drinking heavily, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu went to Zhang Fei's village to conspire to form an alliance and raise troops.

Zhang Fei pointed to the backyard of his home and said: "There is a peach garden behind my village. It is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there is quite an artistic conception in it. Why don't we just go to this peach garden tomorrow to pay our respects to heaven and earth?"

As brothers with different surnames, we will share blessings and hardships in the future. If we work together, we will definitely accomplish great things!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu said in unison: "This is very good!"

At noon the next day, the three people gathered in the peach garden. The peach blossoms were flying in and out, which was very beautiful. Zhang Fei ordered his servants to prepare black oxen, white horses and other sacrificial objects, and everyone held incense and worshiped.

"Now Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, should still become brothers. In the future, they will work together to rescue those in need, help the people in danger, report to the country, and care for the common people. They do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they wish to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.

.With the emperor and heaven above, and the thick soil as a warning, if you have such a bad heart and betray your righteousness at the sight of advantage, you will be shamed by heaven and man, and you will be struck by five thunders!"

After the oath was completed, the three of them worshiped Liu Bei as the eldest brother, Guan Yu as the second brother, and Zhang Fei as the third brother according to their respective ages.

After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, they slaughtered cattle and made wine, and recruited brave men from nearby villages in Zhang Fei's court. Soon more than 300 people came to join him, and they all drank and got drunk together in the peach garden.

Waiting for the arrival of the day to prepare ordnance, but worried about the lack of horses to ride, it is a coincidence that two guests came to the door at that time. They came empty-handed, and saw one of his men driving a group of horses straight towards Zhang Feizhuang.

Come up.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "How can God help me?"

So the three of them went out of the village to greet each other, but they saw that the two guests who came were actually big merchants from Zhongshan. One was named Zhang Shiping and the other was Su Shuang. They usually go to the north to sell horses at this time of year. However, in recent days, due to the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army,

, had to come back again.

Liu Bei invited the two of them to the village, entertained them with wine, and told them their plan to recruit soldiers to fight against the thieves and bring peace to the people. The two were even happy after hearing this, so they brought fifty good horses and five hundred taels of gold and silver.

, and donated a thousand catties of iron to help Liu Bei and others raise an army.
