Chapter 9, Recognizing the Lord

The next day, Liu Bei came as promised, no matter the wind or snow.

"Bang bang bang...is anyone there?"

"Someone passing by here, could you give me a cup of hot water?"

With the same rhetoric, it was Zhang Fei who knocked on the door.

Liu Bei reached out and grabbed the big dark ears, and said angrily: "Who told you to say that?" This was a habit developed in the previous life, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were not reborn, which always felt weird.

Especially Zhang Fei, he always felt that his elder brother's hand was... very comfortable.

"Didn't Big Brother call me the same way yesterday?"

"Do you still remember the way passers-by looked at our three brothers yesterday?"

Although Liu Bei didn't know the allusion to "drinking hot water", he subconsciously felt that it didn't apply here.

Squeak...

The door slowly opened, and Su Meiniang stood at the door pretty, wearing Guo Jia's mink coat.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Fengxiao here?"

"Well, warrior please?"

Su Meiniang nodded and then made a "please" gesture to several people.

Guo Jia had already informed in advance how many people would come today, but he worked too hard yesterday and no matter how hard Su Meiniang tried, someone just couldn't get hard.

Several people entered the house one after another.

"The strong man sat down for a while. Fengxiao was washing up, so I went to hurry him up." Su Meiniang finally had the nerve to tell someone about staying in bed, thinking that she would have to wake him up later.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "It's okay to go, madam."

Su Meiniang bowed slightly and then went to the side room to find her husband.

Zhang Fei muttered dissatisfiedly: "Guo Jiaming knew that big brother would come, but..."

"Yide, don't be rude, it's because we are disturbing others." Liu Bei knew one thing very well, any person with extraordinary intelligence must be proud and will never accept his master easily.

This was Guo Jia's test for him.

In the past, he paid three visits to the thatched cottage for Kong Ming, so why not treat Guo Fengxiao today?

Little did he know that someone had really overslept and stayed in bed refusing to get up. It was definitely not an intentional test.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said calmly: "I hope that Guo Jia really has real talent and learning as big brother said."

Liu Bei looked deeply at his second brother Ten Wan, sighed slightly in his heart, and thought to himself: Yun Chang is good at everything, but his temper is too arrogant, and his hidden problems are sometimes even higher than those of Yi De.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Yun Chang, do you dare to make a bet with your brother?"

"Bet?" Guan Yu was puzzled.

"If Guo Fengxiao's talents impress Yun Chang, you must respect him as you respect me."

Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu valued loyalty and his promise the most, and he would never go back on his promise once he agreed.

Guan Yu also understood his elder brother's intention at this time.

"Brother, what if he can't?"

"Then we can return to Zhuojun."

"good!"

Guan Yu agreed without hesitation. If the other party really had an intellect that impressed him, so what if he listened to him?

——

"Fengxiao~Those strong men are here."

In the bedroom, Su Meiniang was still calling her young husband.

Guo Jia was half asleep and half awake at this time, but he still remained true to his nature. He stretched out his hand and stroked the plump land heavily.

"Don't make trouble, or you'll see how I deal with you."

Su Meiniang's pretty face turned red. There were several people next door. It would be really embarrassing if they were punished now.

She was heartbroken and lifted the quilt from the young man's body.

Hiss~

Guo Jia was already wearing thin clothes, so he woke up from the cold without a quilt. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked doubtfully: "Meiniang, what are you doing?"

Su Meiniang glared at him angrily.

"The guests are coming."

guest?

Guo Jia understood instantly and immediately dressed and tied his hair under Su Meiniang's service.

——

After Guo Jia was dressed neatly, he walked to the living room and said to the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang: "I stayed up late last night and read the time by mistake. I'm rude."

It’s true that you should stay up late, but this night you’re reading... but what you’re reading is not a book, but pictures of beauties.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our brothers have just arrived."

Zhang Fei whispered: "My legs are numb."

But then he saw his eldest brother staring at him and hurriedly kept silent.

I don't know why, even though this eldest brother has just become a sworn brother and his martial arts skills are not as good as his, he seems to have an innate respect for him.

Guo Jia didn't care. He looked at Liu Bei and said, "Yesterday Xuande said that he wanted to make contributions. I'm curious, what is your plan?"

Liu Bei suddenly realized that he knew the real test was coming.

"Yellow Turban Thieves... The Taiping Dao is so powerful that once chaos breaks out, it will inevitably sweep the world. As the saying goes, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." So we are prepared to recruit local braves to help the imperial army quell the chaos."

He didn't say the rest, and there was no need to say it.

Those who are successful in quelling chaos will definitely be rewarded. This is his promotion status.

Guo Jia was in a daze, and he clearly captured the two words that Liu Bei made a slip of the tongue.

Yellow Turban Thief?

Why did Liu Bei know this name just because the followers of Taiping Dao wore yellow scarves?

Thinking again that Liu Bei came to Yingchuan to recruit counselors at this juncture, Guo Jia can roughly conclude.

Not time travel, but... rebirth!

If I remember correctly, Liu Guan and Zhang should have raised their troops from Zhuojun in the original work, and they should never appear here at this time!

But this time it was just a guess. Guo Jia felt that he needed to test it a few more times later.

He temporarily put away this idea and continued to ask: "Since Xuande is sure that there will be chaos in Taiping Road, why doesn't he report it to the court?"

This is a soul torture for careerists. The Yellow Turban Uprising dealt the final blow to the Han Dynasty, but for many people, it was also an opportunity to rise.

Liu Bei sighed: "Bei is just a commoner, and everything he says is based on speculation. How can he convince the court?"

This statement is quite reasonable, but it is not absolute. There are many ways to report, and if you are really serious, you may not be unable to succeed.

However, Liu Bei knew that the Han Dynasty was terminally ill, and if he wanted to save the empire, he had to destroy it and then build it up.

In addition, there are also reasons for his own ambition.

After all, Liu Bei was an emperor, and of course he hoped that he would be the one to save the empire.

Guo Jia continued to ask: "After Xuande put down the rebellion, what are you going to do next?"

"Buying an official position."

As soon as these words came out, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little unbelievable. After all, although the buying-office system existed, it had always been shamed by scholars.

Liu Bei looked calm.

"If the official position you bought can benefit the world, why bother with a mere reputation?"

This statement had a strong meaning of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, which instantly made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei admire him.

This is another experience Liu Bei had after his rebirth.

In his previous life, the reason why he did nothing in the first half of his life was that in addition to being inferior to Cao Cao in terms of military use, his own territory also brought great restrictions.

Pingyuan County is so small that when he had the most troops under his command, there were only a few thousand soldiers. This kind of foundation was not enough to support the great cause of hegemony.

Even though Xuzhou was later obtained from Tao Qian, due to insufficient troops, he could only passively defend against Cao Cao's attack, and even had to lure a wolf into the house and let Lu Bu settle in Xuzhou.

"Guo Jia, I have met my lord."

Guo Jia seemed to be impressed by Liu Bei's magnanimity and bowed his head.
