The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

"How can this be made? Beixi often sees good horses at home, but there may not be many compared to this carmine red horse. The gift from my brother, Bei dare not accept it." There are many horse-producing places on the side, and there are often horse traders. He has seen quite a few good horses.

"Although you and I are not of the same birth, our love is more than flesh and blood, so what is a horse? I will give it to you if I say it, don't say no."

"..., given by the venerable, I dare not say no. Since that is the case, I will accept it." Who doesn't like a good horse? Seeing that he could not refuse, Liu Bei happily agreed.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard the words, they were also happy.

Guan Yu's family is in Hedong, which is also a horse-producing place in the empire. He and Zhang Fei are good at martial arts. Both of them are people who know and love horses. The Yang family is the first-class tycoon of Zhao County. A carmine red horse is no ordinary good horse. Although it has lost some of its handsomeness because it has been confined between the carriages all the year round, as long as it is properly cared for, it will recover sooner or later. The two of them fell in love at first sight. It, seeing that Xun Zhen gave it to Liu Bei at this time, which means that they could ride at any time, how could they not be happy?

In the age of cold weapons, a good warhorse is of great significance to a samurai and can be hard to find. If a good fine armor can enhance the defense of a samurai, then a good warhorse can greatly enhance The offensive power of the samurai, in the two armies, two people are fighting, if one of them is driving a good horse, then it will be a big advantage in terms of impact and impact, the other party may not be ready, you have already rushed. As soon as you get to the front, and then you raise the knife and drop it, you can go back to the camp.

It is precisely because he knows and loves horses that both of them know the value of this horse. At least it is worth a hundred gold. This hundred gold refers to the price of a horse in a peaceful and prosperous age. Today, there is a shortage of horses. His horses can be sold for 2 million yuan, which is 200 gold, so why bother with such a good horse? Thousands of gold are bought, and they have to be priceless.

Things that are worth tens of millions of dollars and have no market are sold out in one sentence. Xun Zhen's generosity is like dung, and Rao is also very admired by Guan Yu, who does not have a good view of Xun Zhen.

"Brother Xian has spared no effort to travel the county in the cold, inspecting the county officials, and inspecting the relief workers in various counties. I gave this horse to Xiandi not only because you and I are more than flesh and blood, but also for the sake of representing the tenth of Zhao County. Tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of refugees are grateful to my virtuous brother."

Liu Bei looked strange and said, "Speaking of this trip to the county, Bei in Zhongqiu heard a surprising and inexplicable thing."

"But what happened to the newly appointed Zhongqiu Commander Hou Yan?"

"Brother also heard about it?"

"It's already spread throughout the county."

Jian Yong snorted twice and said, "It's really weird! After all, three new Zhongqiu Lings have been killed in a row. This Zhongqiu, this Zhongqiu..." Laughing and looking surprised.

The original order of Zhongqiu died in the chaos of the Yellow Turbans. After the Yellow Turbans were settled, for the sake of the people, the court first made Wang Jin of Bohai Sea as the order of Zhongqiu. As a result, Wang Jin died of illness before reaching Zhaojing. The imperial court took Ganling Cai Zun as the order of Zhongqiu, and as a result, the party went to Julu, and Cai Zun was killed by thieves.

The imperial court then appointed the Marquis of Wei County as the commander of Zhongqiu. Wei County borders Zhao, and the distance from Wei to Zhongqiu is only one or two hundred li. I thought that this time, there should be no more thieves, illnesses and the like. Unexpectedly, Hou Yan died at home before leaving.

Wang Jin, Cai Zun, and Hou Yan, one known for their literary names, one for their martial arts, and one for their high moral character, are all famous scholars in Jizhou. It was embarrassing that the people who heard about this incident, including Xun Zhen, who came from here and didn't believe in the destiny of ghosts and gods, couldn't help being deeply surprised.

However, Zibuyu was confused, Xunzhen's mind was not on Zhongqiu, but he didn't say anything more about it.

Seeing that Xun Zhen didn't seem to be interested in this, Liu Bei changed the subject and said, "Bei has something else to tell my brother."

"What's the matter?"

"There is a sage and famous person in this county, I wonder if my brother knows?"

"Who?"

"Le Zhongxiu."

"Are you talking about the second son of the Le family?"

"Exactly."

The person Liu Bei was talking about was Le Jun, the second son of a noble family in the county.

Xun Zhen said, "I've heard his name for a long time." He turned his face and smiled and pointed to Handan Rong, who was sitting beside Liu Bei's seat, and said, "I heard about him when I first arrived in Handan, and I heard that he is as famous as Wei Gongcao and Gongzai. He is a stubborn gentleman. . . , what? Did Xuande hear his name too?"

"On the way to Xingxian County, I heard Wei Gongcao mention this person many times, and he was full of praise, saying that the county people compared him to Duke Huan of Su."

Duke Su Huan, whose name is Chun, was a famous scholar in the early years of the dynasty. He had a strong personality and liked to criticize people. His friends and scholars were so afraid of him that they even said to each other, "I saw Duke Huan, and I was troubled by his teaching and blaming people. "When I saw Su Chun, I was afraid that he would criticize others, but when I didn't see him, I missed him again.

Le Jun's temperament is similar to Su Chun's, and he never hides his thoughts. If anyone in his cronies makes mistakes, he will speak out~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and point it out in person, so he is compared to Su Chun by the county people.

Handan Rong and Le Jun were in the same county. They had known each other since childhood and knew this man's temperament very well. He said, "That's true. Among the scholars in my county, in terms of talent and name, the highest is Wei Gongcao, and in terms of character, the highest But it is Le Zhongxiu. Because he doesn't like his co-born brother's flattery to the officials, he doesn't even interact with his eldest brother all year round.

The "brother of the same birth" that Handan Rong said was Le Biao. Le Biao is now the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xun Zhen often goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion and has met with Le Biao many times. He is considered an acquaintance. Le Jun was not used to Le Biao's "flattering the officials", but it was not that he was not used to Le Biao's flattery to the prime minister, but that he despised the close contact between Le Biao and Lang Zhongling Duan Cong. Although Duan Cong was innocent, he was a son of an **** in the end. As a scholar, Le Jun didn't like his brother being too close to him.

Xun Zhen said, "Why did Xuande suddenly mention this person?"

"Le Zhongxiu is famous in the county, and he is a wise man, but I heard that Wei Gongcao said that he is now home and has nothing to do. I thought, why didn't my brother write a Taoist letter and call him into the mansion?"

When Xun Zhen heard this, he understood Liu Bei's purpose, but it turned out that he recommended a wise man to him. Liu Bei is a meritorious officer, and it is his job to recommend talents to the senior officials, but Xun Zhen did not expect to call him into the mansion, but did not want to use him at all, hesitated for a moment, and replied: " I said to Gongda earlier that Le Zhongxiu Gaojie has a clear name and can be deeply confided in, but as for summoning into my lieutenant's mansion, it is not feasible at the moment."

"But why?"

Xun Zhen slowly said something.
