After the news of Ma Yuanyi's murder spread, Taiping Road rose up overnight.

The great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao called himself "General of Heaven", Zhang Bao called himself "General of Earth", and Zhang Liang called himself "General of Human Resources".

The army of Taipingdao wrapped in yellow turbans on its head and shouted, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand. In Jiazi, the world will be very lucky."

Under the leadership of Qushang from all sides, he frantically conquered the prefectures and counties.

Millions of Yellow Turbans swept across Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yan, Yu and other major prefectures.

Wherever he passed, he was invincible, and for a moment, the great man fell into a storm.

Except for Yangzhou no one responded to Taiping Road, none of the fertile lands in the Central Plains were spared.

General He Jin reported the Yellow Turban uprising to Liu Hong.

Even if Liu Hong is a bastard, he can't sit still when he is angry.

He hurriedly issued an order to ask local officials from all over the country to strictly prevent the Yellow Turbans, and then allowed famous generals such as Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, who were used to fighting in the court, to lead elite troops to attack the Yellow Turbans.

For a moment, the world fell into war.

Looking at Liu Hong's frown, Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang flatteredly offered Liu Hong's advice:

"Your Majesty, now the Yellow Turbans swept most of the world, and all parts of the country are trapped in war.

Only the rule of Yangzhou Governor Yuan Shu was peaceful and stable, I believe that Yuan Shu had extraordinary qualities.

Your Majesty may as well issue an edict to let him attack the Yellow Turban to share your worries.”

When Liu Hong heard Zhang Rang's suggestion, he slapped his thigh excitedly and said:

"Yes, why did I forget Yuan Aiqing?

He is also the general of Zhennan whom I personally conferred!

Quickly draft an order to let Yuan Aiqing take charge of the Yangzhou troops and horses to wipe out the Yellow Turbans!”

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Shu did not dare to neglect and quickly consolidated his army to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

In this way, the troops in the world fighting against the Yellow Turban Uprising changed from three to four, which increased the pressure on the Yellow Turban Army.

...

Youzhou, Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

Due to the attack from the Yellow Turbans, the people on the streets also seemed panic.

Liu Bei walked aimlessly on the street with straw sandals.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the consumption level of the people has dropped significantly, and his business has become worse.

If this continues, it will probably be difficult to eat a full meal.

When he walked to the vicinity of the yamen, he suddenly saw a circle of people around the yamen and pointed at a list.

Liu Bei was curious and squeezed into the crowd to observe the content of the list.

It turns out that the list is about the Yellow Turban Uprising. The court has sent four famous generals, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Yuan Shu, to fight against the thieves in four directions. Please don’t be nervous.

In addition, the thief is in great power. The Youzhou Guard issued a list to recruit rebels. Those who have ambition can join the rebels to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

Seeing this list, Liu Bei suddenly felt sad.

I am about the same age as Yuan Shu, both of whom are nearly thirty years old.

Look at Yuan Shu, now he is not only a vassal official in Yangzhou, but also one of the few famous generals in the court.

Look at myself again, carrying straw sandals on my shoulders, and even eating is a problem.

Although he believed that he would have the opportunity in Zhuo County.

But now I am about to be thirty years old, where is the opportunity?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt sad and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do you sigh if a real man does not contribute to the country?"

Just when Liu Bei was sad, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound behind him.

Liu Bei looked back and saw a young man with black face standing behind him.

I saw that this man was eight feet long, dark skin, leopard head and ring eyes, and had a majestic appearance.

After a closer look, it looks familiar.

Isn’t this the little boy who gave him straw sandals back then?

Now they all grow so tall!

Liu Bei asked uncertainly: "Little brother, is it you?"

When the black-faced young man saw that Liu Bei recognized him, he said happily:

"Brother! It's me, you recognize me!

My name is Zhang Fei, do you still remember it?"

For some reason, Zhang Fei had a natural sense of intimacy towards Liu Bei.

Even this kind of relationship is deeper than he is about his father.

Liu Bei also inexplicably had a good impression of Zhang Fei.

I don’t know why, but Zhang Fei’s black face looks so comfortable.

Zhang Fei asked curiously:

"Brother, why are you sighing here?"

Liu Bei couldn't say that he envied Yuan Shu, so he could only change the topic:

"Little brother, my name is Liu Bei, I was originally a relative of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the decline of the family, it was the situation of selling straw sandals.

Now the Yellow Turban is rampant, causing chaos in our Han Dynasty.

I wanted to recruit the rebels to defeat the thieves and the people, but I was short of money, so I sighed."

Seeing Liu Bei's lonely appearance, Zhang Fei felt ache in his heart and said quickly:

"Brother, you don't have money, I have it!

My family has been killing pigs and selling meat in Zhuo County, you know this.

My father passed away a year ago and left all the money to me.

I am willing to spend all my money to help my elder brother raise an army!”

Liu Bei was a little surprised to see that this little brother was so generous.

Although Liu Bei was a little moved by his proposal, he shook his head and refused:

"Brother, you were already well-funded and had no worries about food and clothing.

Wouldn't I have ruined you with the bankrupt support?"

Seeing Liu Bei refuse, Zhang Fei said anxiously:

"Brother! I, Zhang Fei, have nothing to ask for. As long as I can always be by your side in the future, I will be satisfied!

I also beg my brother not to reject my kindness!”

Liu Bei looked at this black man like an iron tower and actually put on an aggrieved expression, and couldn't help but smile:

"Okay, little brother, since that's the case, I'll agree.

From now on, we will eat and live together, and we will be brothers!"

After hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhang Fei was very happy:

"That's great, brother!

There is a Wanshan Restaurant in front of us. How about we go there and have a chat?"

Liu Bei had been shopping in the county for a whole morning with straw sandals, but he hadn't sold a pair of straw sandals and was already so hungry.

When I heard Zhang Fei’s invitation at this time, how could I not agree?

The two happily walked into Wanshan Restaurant together.

Zhang Fei had a lot of appetite, ordered several meat dishes, and ordered two pots of fairy wine specialized in Wanshan Chamber of Commerce.

The two of them were having a chat while eating, very speculative.

Just as the two of them were drinking, a clear male voice came from their ears:

"Waiter! Even if you serve good wine and good food, I will go to the county town to join the rebel army after I finish eating!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked in the sound and saw a big red-faced man put down the cart in his hand, walked in from outside the door, and sat at the table next to them.

This person is nine feet long and his beard is two feet long.

Born with phoenix eyes and lying eyebrows.
