Romance of The Three Kingdoms the first time in Taoyuan

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupt, coupled with years of famine, the life of the people was very difficult. Seeing that the people resented the government, Zhang Jiao and his younger brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao recruited 500,000 people in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu and other places, held an uprising, and attacked the officers and soldiers together.

Within a few days, the four sides of the people, their heads wrapped in yellow scarves, followed the three brothers of Zhang Jiao to kill the government, and the momentum was very large. Emperor Ling of Han received reports from all over the country and quickly ordered officials and troops to prepare. He also sent mediators Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead one elite and one soldier to attack the Yellow Turbans of the Zhang Jiao brothers.

Zhang Jiao led the attack on the territory of Youzhou, and the governor of Youzhou quickly summoned Lieutenant Zou Jing to negotiate, Zou Jing said that the few soldiers in Youzhou could not resist. It is suggested to write the list to the counties to recruit soldiers and horses.

The list text line to Zhuo County, led to a hero, this person surnamed Liu Bei, word Xuande. Because his family was poor, he lived by selling hemp shoes and weaving straw MATS. That day he went to town to see the list.

After reading the list, Liu Bei sighed with emotion. Suddenly I heard a man behind me Shouting, "Why do you sigh when a great man does not contribute to the country?"

Liu Bei looked back and saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a leopard head, round eyes, a beard that stood upright like a steel wire, and a voice like a great bell. The man told Liu Bei that his surname was Zhang Fei, the character Yide, and that he sold wine and butchered pigs and sheep. He is willing to take out the family property as the capital, and Liu Bei together to do a big cause.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei two people talk speculation, they went to a hotel at the entrance of the village drink and talk.

At this time, a cart of big men into the store to drink. Liu Bei noticed that the man was nine feet tall, with a long beard flowing across his chest and a face like red dates. He had a pair of red phoenix eyes and two broad eyebrows. Liu Bei got up quickly and invited him to sit with him and asked his name.

The man said, "My name is Guan Yu, and my name is Yunchang. Because the bullies in my village were throwing their weight around, I killed them in a rage, and I have been seeking refuge in another village for five or six years." Liu Bei and Zhang Fei listened to them with great admiration and told Guan Yu about their wishes. Guan Yu was also very happy to hear that.

After drinking, they came to Zhang Fei's village together, and saw a peach garden after the village, where peach blossoms were brilliant and the scenery was very beautiful. The next day, the three people burned incense in the garden, sworn to become brothers of different surnames, the three people recognized brothers according to the age, Liu Bei was the eldest brother, Guan Yu was the second, Zhang Fei was the youngest, and became the younger brother.

The three men invited the blacksmith to build weapons. Liu Bei made a double-edged sword, Guan Yu made an 82-pound green dragon crescent blade, Zhang Fei made a steel spear, and each made a suit of armor.

They gathered more than 500 strong men in the township and went to Zhuojun to enlist.

The three defeated the Yellow Scarf Army general Cheng Yuanzhi at Zhuojun. When Liu Bei heard that his former teacher General Lu Zhi was fighting at Guangzong and Zhangjiao, he led his troops to Guangzong to help in the battle. Lu Zhi ordered the three brothers Liu Bei to go to Yingchuan to help the government army fight. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led their troops to Yingchuan overnight.

Moreover, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao won several consecutive battles in Yingchuan, and were chasing the official army that day, when they were suddenly stopped by a team with a red flag. The first will be Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Meng De. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao could not beat this team and led the troops to defeat.

When Liu Bei saw the Yellow Turban army retreat, he led the army back to Guangzong. Halfway, suddenly saw a military horse with a prison wagon approaching. To look forward, the prisoner in the car was actually Lu Zhi, hurriedly dismounted to ask the reason, only to understand Zuofeng because Lu Zhi did not give gold and silver, he did evil in front of the emperor. Zhang Fei a listen to great anger, draw a knife to kill the officers and soldiers escorted to rescue Lu Zhi. Liu Bei hastened to stop and said that the court had its own public opinion.

The three men went back to Zhuo County together. Is entering the room, see the yellow turban army Dong Zhuo led the official army killed. Three people rushed into the battle and rescued Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, when Dong Zhuo heard that the three men had no official position, he immediately left them outside and dismounted into the tent. Zhang Fei was furious at once, and drew his sword into the tent to kill Dong Zhuo, but was persuaded by Liu Bei to stop him. So the three men led their men and went to vote for Zhu Jun that night.

Zhu Jun was fighting against the Yellow Turbans at that time, so he sent Liu Bei as the vanguard to attack Zhang Bao. Liu Bei hit Zhang Bao in the left arm with an arrow, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out to help Zhang Bao and defeated him. Zhu Jun then led the army to attack Wancheng.

At this time, the Zhang Jiao brothers died in battle, and only tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans were left to live in the Wan Cheng area.

Zhu Jun, with the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Sun Jian from Wujun, captured Wancheng and defeated the Yellow Turbans. Zhu Jun returned to the capital and was awarded the title of General and Henan Yin.

Zhu Jun presented the merits of Sun Jian and Liu Bei. Liu Bei was awarded the title of lieutenant of Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture, because no one intercedes in the court. Soon, the governor came to Anxi. Liu Bei was framed by the governor for not sending money to the governor. Liu Bei went to the post several times to ask to see the governor, but was stopped by the gatekeeper and turned away.

When the news reached Zhang Fei's ears, Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open with anger, and he rushed into the house and grabbed the hair of the governor, pulled it to the county government, tied it to the horse post, and lashed it with wicker, breaking a dozen wickers in a row and Shouting for mercy like the governor killed a pig.

When Liu Bei was insulted by the governor, he took out the lieutenant's seal, hung it around the governor's neck, and left the office. The three brothers still took dozens of relatives with them, left Anxi County and went to Youzhou to take refuge in Liu Hui.
