Chapter 4 Recruiting Guan Yu
"Then it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful." Guan Yu agreed.
Liu Fan led his horse and Guan Yu to the place where Liu Fan lived and walked to Xiqinbao Township.
"I was named Guan, with his name Yu, and his name was Yunchang. I lived in Jie County, which was adjacent to Anyi. What is the name of this young master?" On the way, Guan Yu introduced himself to Liu Fan.
"It turns out to be Brother Yun, with a good name!" Liu Fan first exclaimed, and then said, "I am in the lower surname Liu and his name is Fan. I am not yet old, so I have no word for prose. After Liu Cang, the King of Dongpingxian, I was the ancestor Yu Yun, and I was given the title of Marquis of Xiqinting."
Liu Fan knew that Guan Yu had always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. Before he met Liu Bei, he respected the royal family very much. The purpose of Liu Guan and Zhang's three gangs to join forces in Taoyuan was to support the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Bei was kind, his civil and military were not top-notch. He relied on the title of King Jing of Zhongshan to attract Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Liu Shengguang, the King of Jing of Zhongshan, had 120 sons recorded in history, and they were all named marquis. They had been passed down for more than ten generations, but there were countless descendants. The down-and-out Western Han royal family like Liu Bei caught a large number of them at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Compared with the descendants of Liu Cang, the most outstanding descendants of Emperor Guangwu, the descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan were still far behind.
Sure enough, Guan Yu looked surprised when he heard Liu Fan report to his house. He bowed sideways.
"Young Master turned out to be a relative of the Han Dynasty, and Guan was embarrassed."
"Ah! It's just a nameless son." Liu Fan sighed, looked at Guan Yu from the corner of his eyes, and said worriedly: "Now the ten generals serve power, support the party members, and confuse the emperor. The second party and imprisonment disaster is still imprisoning the party members, so that countless scholars cannot contribute to the country. There are strong enemies around outside, and the people inside are living in poverty. I wish I could hold a sword to clear the king's side and restore the brightness of the Han Dynasty."
Looking at Guan Yu's original maroon face turned redder, he gritted his teeth and said, "The eunuch is hateful, everyone can kill him!"
As the saying goes, "Don't make plans for each other." With the same ambition, the two of them immediately appreciate each other.
Next, Guan Yu told Liu Fan about the reason for his murder.
There is a powerful household in Jie County, Guan Yu's hometown, but he is unkind and bullied the villagers. Guan Yu couldn't stand the powerful and bullied the good, and made an act of eliminating harm to the people. After the event was completed, because of the huge power of the powerful family, he was vigorously pursued by the entire Hedong County, which forced Guan Yu to leave his hometown.
"A true righteous man!" Liu Fan exclaimed again without hesitation.
While talking, Liu Fan and Guan Yu had already arrived at the wine house above the township.
Seeing the visitor, the bartender hurriedly ran out to help Liu Fan lead the horse. He also asked Guan Yu and Liu Fan to take their seats in the wine room.
Guan Yu and Liu Fan came to a low table beside the window of the hall, sat down, and told the bartender: "Give me a pot of good wine and a few drinks."
The bartender should be, leave.
"I wonder what Brother Yun's plan is next?" When the wine came up, Liu Fan picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Guan Yu first, then drank one glass by himself, and then changed the cups. After the two of them drank it all, Liu Fan asked.
"In my early years, my family was poor, so my brother went to Zhuo County, Youzhou to make a living. There were many letters here. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I missed my brother very much. I plan to go to Zhuo County to join my brother." Guan Yu replied to Liu Fan.
Although Liu Fan's expression did not change, his heart changed slightly. It seemed that the feud between Liu, Guan and Zhang San was not accidental.
"To be honest, I met Brother Yun and I not only fell in love with each other when I saw each other, but also wanted to ask Brother Yun to work together with me to plan a big thing." After drinking another cup, Liu Fan directly threw an olive branch to Guan Yu.
"What is a big deal?" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes.
"If the situation is turbulent today, it is the time when we make achievements. How can men be mediocre when they are alive? They should carry a three-foot sword to make unparalleled achievements. They should report to the country and the people are at peace. This is a hero." Liu Fan said with high morale.
Guan Yu was so excited that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child that he had made achievements. Although he could hear Liu Fan's intention to summon himself as a disciple, he was just a civilian who had nothing to do with murder. He was not disgusted with Liu Fan's recruitment, and he even had these emotions.
No one knows what their future will be, including Liu Fan who has traveled through time. The future is like endless fog. When you finish this journey, you can see another journey.
Just when Guan Yu was about to vow to follow Liu Fan to plan a major event, he suddenly thought that his brother wrote letters many times to miss him and his hometown, and he was immediately hesitant.
Seeing Guan Yu's face in a dilemma, Liu Fan knew it and quickly raised his glass and toasted Guan Yu. Drinking can indeed relieve the embarrassment.
"Brother Yun should visit his elder brother, this is filial piety. I respect Brother Yun for a cup."
Guan Yu raised his glass to greet him and drank all his mouth. At this time, he felt very conflicted. He could feel Liu Fan's sincerity. He could also feel that Liu Fan had great ambitions. However, the expectation of brothers' reunion made him unable to agree to Liu Fan's invitation.
After two hours of drinking, the bartender filled in a few pots of wine in the middle. After getting familiar with Guan Yu, Liu Fan found that Guan Yu had been to many places. Longxi, Anding, Fufeng, and even went to Wushaoling and the Qianghu land in the north. No wonder he could hone such martial arts and momentum.
Liu Fan and Guan Yu both had good alcohol tolerance. After drinking so much, they were just slightly drunk. When they went out, they were blown away by the cool breeze for a while and they almost woke up.
"Brother Yun, you and I will fall in love with each other at first sight. Can you delay Brother Yun for a few days? I want to ask Brother Yun to stay in my mansion for a few days. Brother Yun has excellent martial arts skills. I am also a person who has been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I want to discuss and discuss with Brother Yun for advice." After walking out of the winery, Liu Fan invited Guan Yu.
After a conversation, Liu Fan had already thought about Guan Yu very thoroughly. He was 90% sure to take Guan Yu under his command and wait for the time to come. As long as he could well wipe out Guan Yu's arrogance, he would definitely be a famous general in the future.
"Then I'll trouble you." Guan Yu was invited. As the Marquis of Xi Qinting, Liu Fan treated him so kindly. He had rejected Lin Fan once just now. If he refused again, it would be too unreasonable. Although Guan Yu was arrogant, he was not arrogant.
After Liu Fan asked Guan Yu to return to the Xiqinting Marquis' Mansion, the servant ran out immediately and took the horse away. Liu Fan asked the servant to pack up a room for Guan Yu to live in.
