In the autumn of the 17th year of Jian'an, in the 212th year.

The Lu family in Jiangdong moved to Jingzhou, and then the patriarch Lu Xun married the tent of the King of Hanzhong, the daughter of Guan Yu, the head of the Five Tiger Generals. The power of Jingzhou underwent tremendous changes, and all the wealthy families had to face up to this family that had just moved.

The Lu family has become the upstart in Jingzhou.

Xue Bing stayed in Jingzhou until after Lu Xun's wedding, and then stayed for several days, and then looked back at Chengdu with Zhang Fei. That day, Guan Yu and Lu Xun all came to see him off. Everyone walked straight outside the city gate.

Zhang Fei held the horse and looked at Guan Yu with red eyes, saying, "I don't know when I will see you again today. Second brother must take care of you."

Although Guan Yu's expression was the same, his eyes that were usually cold when he opened it, but today he was no longer as sharp as usual. "My third brother should take care of himself. Also, I would like to say hello to my elder brother on my behalf.

"After saying that, he took out a letter and said, "Third brother, be sure to hand this letter to the elder brother. This is a letter from the family and should not be left to the hands of others."

Zhang Fei took the letter, held it in person, and replied, "I will deliver it to my elder brother in person." Guan Yu did not speak, but just nodded.

Xue Bing said a few words to Lu Xun on the side. "I don't know when I will drink and have fun with Bo Yan again."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "Just as long as Zi Han comes to Jingzhou, you can find me. And you and I are working under the tent of the King of Hanzhong, and are you afraid of meeting each other?" After laughing, he said softly, "Zi Han must keep what I said a few days ago in mind."

Xue Bing said, "I remember this important thing, so Bo Yan doesn't have to worry." Lu Xun nodded. Xue Bing turned around and saw that although Zhang Fei had finished talking to Guan Yu, the two of them were holding each other tightly, and there seemed to be no intention of letting go.

Thinking about it, brothers have been together for decades. After several years of separation, we finally met, but we had to separate again after only more than last month. Moreover, Xue Bing felt that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both over fifty at this time, and people at this time valued their feelings more than young people.

Finally, everyone said goodbye one after another, and turned their eyes to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, it's getting late, let's go!"

Zhang Fei did not look back. He had known that everyone was waiting for him. He tightened his hand again and said, "Second brother, I'm leaving!" After that, the two looked at each other for a while before turning around. Everyone set off on their way.

He looked all the way to Jiangling. Zhang Fei didn't look back immediately, never once. He was afraid that he would turn around, so he didn't want to leave again.

Guan Yu stood in front of the city gate, although his body still seemed to be like before, without any change. But his eyes betrayed him.

A pair of Danfeng eyes kept looking forward until he could no longer see Zhang Fei and had no intention of taking it back.

Finally, Lu Xun called out: "The wind outside the city is strong in autumn, so my father-in-law should go back to the city earlier!" Guan Yu then withdrew his gaze. He looked back in Xiangyang City and returned...

However, Xue Bing and others walked all the way to Jiangling, and then Wen Pin arranged a large ship to return to Chengdu. When they came, they went down the water and had a very fast speed. When they returned, they went up against the current, but the speed was not guaranteed.

It all depends on whether God gives you face. If you give face, you will come to the strong wind for several days. The ship will naturally be faster.

But now it seems that God has not noticed how big the wind should be or how big the big ones. The big ship is slowly moving on the river surface, but he can't get up even if he wants to.

Just like in the past, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei entered Xichuan in a water and land route. When Zhang Fei lost the pass and the enemy's land route, his speed was faster than Zhuge Liang. It was the same as when he arrived in Xichuan earlier. It was just that the water route was relatively easy.

With less of the pain of bumpyness, everyone still chose to take a boat back to Chengdu.

After leaving Jingzhou, Zhang Fei said less, and he stood on the bow of the boat all day long, and was carrying a small jar of wine in his hand. When Xue Bing saw this day, he asked Sun Shangxiang to make some boiled beans, and then he brought the beans to the bow of the boat himself.

"What are Yide thinking?" as he said, he handed over the bowl of beans.

When Zhang Fei saw this, he was not polite, so he grabbed a few pills and started eating. After taking a few bites, he actually took out another wine gourd from his side and handed it to Xue Bing. "I was thinking, after this farewell, I don't know when I will see my second brother again."

Xue Bing took the wine gourd, pulled the plug, and poured a big mouth into his mouth. He heard Zhang Fei's words and smiled, "Why did Yide say this? Although the journey is a little longer, if you want to see it, you can see it at any time."

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then he seemed to have reacted, "Zihan swears me! My elder brother is determined to fight northward, and the army will advance northward to the Central Plains all day long.

My second brother also wanted to lead the army north. At that time, he was divided into two places, all in the battle formation, and he could not get rid of his body easily. How could he meet him at any time?" After saying that, he raised his head and took a sip of wine. The yellow soup penetrated his stomach. Although it made his stomach warm, Zhang Fei felt that his heart still couldn't get hot.

Xue Bing also knew that Zhang Fei was right. In the future, Zhang Fei would definitely follow the main force to enter the Central Plains with his army.

Guan Yu will be the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou. Neither of them can escape. Where can we get time to travel so far to visit each other? He had to comfort Zhang Fei and said, "As long as Yide helps the King of Hanzhong to defeat Cao Wei and support the Han Dynasty earlier, the brothers will naturally gather together."

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Zihan said that if Cao Wei is destroyed as soon as possible, our brothers can naturally get together again!" After that, he raised the wine jar in his hand and drank it with Xue Bing.

In fact, Zhang Fei and Xue Bing knew in their hearts that Cao Wei could not be destroyed by such a simple way? Now, it is just giving yourself a goal so that you can have the motivation to fight...

Everyone finally returned to Chengdu. After getting off the boat, they took the horses at the port, and then returned to Chengdu in the shortest time. Xue Bing asked Sun Shangxiang to take the children home first, while he wanted to go to the royal palace.

There was Zhang Fei who was walking with him, and he still had Guan Yu's letter on him, which was for his elder brother Liu Bei.

When he arrived at the palace, he first told someone to inform him. King Liu Bei of Hanzhong was talking to Fa Zheng, Jiang Wan and others at this time. When he heard Zhang Fei and Xue Bing asked for a meeting, he said happily: "Yi De and Zi Han have returned. Please come in quickly!"

Zhang Fei and Xue Bing set out from summer and returned only in late autumn. They left for several months. Liu Bei has been with Zhang Fei for many years. Suddenly, when there was no war, he could not find Zhang Fei for several months. He was very uncomfortable.

Now that I heard that Zhang Fei and Xue Bing returned together, they didn’t even talk about the main affairs. He said to Fa Zheng: “What Xiaozhi said will be done according to Gong’s wishes. If there is any other abnormal situation, you can discuss it with Gong Yan.”

Fa Zheng and Jiang Wan also knew that Liu Bei was happy when he heard that Zhang Fei had returned. He was afraid that he would not have the intention to deal with the official business at this time, so he gave a tribute and retreated.

At this time, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left in the General Office. At that time, Pang Tong ran to the north to observe the garrisoning situation in the north.

Liu Bei sat on it, looking at the door anxiously, and when he could see Zhang Feidi's figure, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

Zhang Fei looked happy at this time. Seeing Liu Bei greeting him, he smiled and said, "Brother, I'm back!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei.

He smiled and said, "Yi De has been here for several months, how is Yun Chang now? Let me talk to you!" While saying that, he pulled Zhang Feiyu to sit down. At the same time, he did not forget Xue Bing and pulled him to sit down.

This time, the General Office became a common place for gossip. Zhang Fei told Guan Yu in detail and finally said: "The second brother has hired a good son-in-law this time. I think Lu Boyan is good, but he is a talented person.

"When he said Lu Xun, he seemed to remember something, "Brother, you can ask Zihan. I see that Zihan and Lu Boyan are very prone to chatting with him. I think Zihan knows him very well."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei turned to Xue Bing and said, "How about Zihan see Lu Xun?"

Xue Bing said, "Lu Xun is a talented man, and his talent is only slightly inferior to that of the military advisor Zhuge!" Liu Bei's expression changed a few times when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Zi Han actually has such a high evaluation of this person?" Xue Bing smiled and said, "Before Bing returned to Xichuan, Lu Boyan had several words to teach me to submit it to the king.

”

Liu Bei was interested at this time, wanting to know what Lu Xun, who received such a high evaluation, had to tell him, so he said: "What do Bo Yan say? Zi Han quickly say it!"

Xue Bing heard this and hurriedly said, "Lu Xun once said that if the king attacks the north, he must first stabilize the rear. Now, if the king does not subdue it first, he will be afraid that the future will be endless when the northern expedition is launched."

When Liu Bei heard this, he turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang also showed a slight surprise. He said to Xue Bing: "Has Lu Boyan ever mentioned what method should be used to determine the barbarians?"

Xue Bing said: "It is best to attack the heart. Let his heart convince. Otherwise, he will only accept it with strength, and he may repeat it in the future."

Zhuge Liang nodded after hearing this. Liu Bei saw this scene. He naturally knew that Zhuge Liang also agreed with Lu Xun's words.

Moreover, before Pang Tong left a few days ago, and when he was talking alone with Zhuge Liang, both of them talked about the potential harm of the southern barbarians.

Now someone has seen it and proposed a rough response method, which made Liu Bei feel very happy, and then said, "This person is a talented person. With this person next to my second brother, why worry about Jingzhou falling into the hands of a thief?"

Xue Bing also said: "General Guan is a powerful general. Now Xu Yuanzhi and Lu Boyan are by his side, and Jiangling has General Wenpin in charge. I want to be sure of everything. And in the future, the troops leaving Xiangyang will pose a huge threat to Cao Wei."

Zhuge Liang also said: "What Zi Han said is not bad. Moreover, if the king can join forces with the Eastern Wu, he will ask his troops to go out to Hefei and advance to Yangzhou. The king will send another army to the Qishan Mountains, and reach the Yongliang land, and reach Chang'an.

In this way, if Cao Wei cannot take into account both the beginning and the end, he will lose a large area of ​​land. If the king has a good business, he will have the foundation to compete with Cao Wei."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and asked Xue Bing, "What is Bo Yan's original position? Who is his second brother's position now?"

Xue Bing said: "Lu Boyan was appointed as the military field supervisor during the Jiangdong period. At this time, he did not receive any position under General Guan's tent."

When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that Guan Yu wanted to personally assign a position in Lu Xun, so he said, "Lu Xun will be the general of the State to assist my second brother in Jingzhou. When he makes contributions in the future, he will be promoted.

"Then he remembered that this person was just a military farmer in Dongwu, so he smiled and said, "I don't expect that Sun Quan was so ignorant of people. Such a talent was a military farmer. "
