Can I get to the other side?

Although Yuan Shu was very eager to proclaim himself emperor, he did not immediately declare that he would proclaim himself emperor, but began to prepare intensively.

Being called emperor is not something you can do casually.

Since ancient times, kingship has been either given by God or followed the example of Yao and Shun and abdicated. However, since there is no emperor in hand, abdication is naturally not feasible, so the only way is to use the first method.

This method is also simple. It is nothing more than discovering some auspiciousness and digging out some tokens that represent destiny and providence.

Something about a fox barking in the middle of the night, something about slaying a white snake with a red sword, something like a note being found in the belly of a fish, something about a thousand-year-old turtle suddenly emerging from the water, something like "xx is the right one" engraved on the turtle's shell, and so on.

Such things can be regarded as God's instructions and approval.

You can say it is fake, and others may not believe it, but it must be true because it represents "God's will."

This is why Yuan Shu forced the prophecy on himself, because he just wanted others to know that he was not a usurper, and that his proclaiming emperor was an act of destiny.

As for whether it is true destiny, that is unknown.

…

Jizhou, outside Yecheng.

Now late autumn has passed and winter is approaching. Although the weather has not turned completely cold yet, there is already a deep chill in the wind.

A withered yellow leaf hangs on a bare branch, teetering and trembling, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

"Tap tap tap—!"

Three horses galloped past one after another on the ancient road, and the wind blew off the leaf, which was then trampled heavily into the mud by the horses' hooves.

"Uu——!"

Suddenly, the leader of the group reined in his horse and stopped.

So the two riders behind also stopped.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

One of the riders stepped forward and asked, but saw that this man was eight feet long, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and his voice was extremely loud.

"Brother, is it possible that you are tired and want to rest?"

At this time, another rider also asked.

Compared with the previous one, this man's appearance is much more handsome, with a face as heavy as a jujube, lips as if painted with grease, red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and three long locks of beard floating on his chest. He looks majestic and intimidating.

Facing the two people's inquiries, the leading horseman shook his head, then raised his whip and pointed ahead, saying: "Ten miles ahead, we will reach Yecheng."

"I am hesitating now. I don't know if it is the right choice to join Yuan Shao this time."

The man they called their eldest brother had a good-looking appearance, with a tall body and arms as long as his knees. His face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were deep and bright, giving him a gentle feeling.

The most eye-catching thing is that his earlobes are huge, which makes him very blessed.

If Liu Xie were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize the identities of these three people at a glance.

These three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!

The looks of the three of them are so extraordinary that they can be noticed at a glance even among the crowd.

In particular, Guan Yu's red face, phoenix eyes, long beard and beautiful beard, and Liu Bei's big earlobes are all iconic features that have been recorded in history; and since both of them are here, there is no need to say more about the identity of the remaining person. .

Wherever have these three brothers been together?

"Hey brother, there's nothing to worry about."

Zhang Feice immediately stepped forward and said nonchalantly, "If Yuan Shao is the emperor here, we will go to Xu County and defect to Cao Cao."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Third brother, you are thinking too simply. I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If I come to Yuan Shao and then leave to join Cao Cao, how do you think the people in the world will treat Yuan Shao?"

Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "What do you think?"

Liu Bei: "..."

He felt that it would be better for him to be more direct when talking to his third brother in the future.

"What the elder brother means is that if the emperor here in Yuan Shao is fake, then he will definitely not let us leave to avoid being exposed."

Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei, "You must know that the eldest brother is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and has a reputation all over the world. If he says that the emperor of Yecheng is fake, then who will believe Yuan Shao again?"

"So, it is quite dangerous for us to go to Yecheng."

Obviously, Guan Yu knew very well how risky this trip to Yecheng was, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a big gamble.

Liu Bei didn't speak, just sighed.

After Zhang Fei heard the explanation, he immediately exploded. He glared and said, "Yuan Shao, how dare he! He wants to do harm to my elder brother. First, ask me if he can agree to the Zhangba Snake Spear in my hand!"

Zhang Fei shook the spear in his hand, and a cold light flashed.

A dead tree as thick as a bowl on the roadside was suddenly pierced!

A casual blow was so terrifying.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if this spear were to hit a person.

"Third brother, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Liu Bei held Zhang Fei's shoulders and comforted him, "Yuan Benchu ​​is known as a role model in the world, and he comes from a famous family. He is a hero. I don't think he would do anything like finding someone to pretend to be the emperor."

"We came to Yecheng this time not only to meet the emperor, but also to borrow troops from Yuan Shao to recapture Peixian County. When we meet him then, don't be so rude. After all, we are asking for help."

Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, brother, I know."

But after hearing his words, Liu Bei's face became even more worried.

Every time the third brother said these words to reassure him, it was always what worried him the most in the end. It seemed that he had to keep a closer eye on him when he came back.

Guan Yu wiped the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the three-surnamed slave who sent troops to attack and seize Pei County when we were not prepared, we would not have fallen to the point of begging for help!"

"When I borrow troops, I will lead the troops to fight back and kill the thief to avenge this hatred!"

The reason why the three brothers came to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao for help was that Lu Bu sent troops to attack Pei County and seized their territory.

Now Pei County was occupied by Lu Bu, and even Liu Bei's wife and children were captured, so they had no choice but to choose to borrow troops from others with a thick face.

This was extremely humiliating for Guan Yu!

"Don't worry, Yunchang, we will take Pei County back."

Liu Bei comforted him, patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and smiled heartily: "A real man can bend and stretch, and it is not shameful to ask for help. Brother, haven't I asked for help less in my life?"

Guan Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Obviously, he was not relieved by his elder brother's words.

Liu Bei was helpless when he saw this. He naturally understood his second brother's arrogant character, but now the situation was like this, and there was no other way.

"Okay, hurry up and arrive in Yecheng before dark!"

"Second brother and third brother, whoever arrives last will treat us to a drink!"

"I'm leaving first, hahaha! Go!"

Liu Bei regained his spirits, and after saying this, he whipped his horse and left in a cloud of dust.

"Brother, you are cheating!"

"Third brother, I'm leaving first too! Go!"

"Wow! Wait for me!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also galloped on their horses and followed closely.

I had something to do today, so I updated a little late, sorry
