Under Lu Bu's command, Zhang Liao's status is actually quite special.

To be precise, Zhang Liao cannot be regarded as Lu Bu's real subordinate.

In his early years, Zhang Liao worked as a minor official in Yanmen County. Like Lu Bu's status, he was both an official under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Bingzhou.

Later, he was sent to Luoyang to serve as the subordinate of General He Jin by Ding Yuan, the then governor of Bingzhou, and Zhang Yang, the current prefect of Hanoi.

Regarding the qualifications of becoming an official in Luoyang, Zhang Liao's qualifications must be higher than those of Lu Bu.

He Jin died and Dong Zhuo was in power. Dong Zhuo still had the position of Bingzhou governor at that time. Zhang Liao was from Bingzhou and had no way to go in Luoyang. He also heard that Lu Bu, who was also from Bingzhou, surrendered to Dong Zhuo, so he simply surrendered to Dong Zhuo.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, because he was born in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao naturally had a good relationship with Lu Bu and had a close relationship with Wang Yun.

Together they formed the Bingzhou Group, and as the main force, they killed Dong Zhuo, counterattacked and took charge of the government. They thought that a good day was coming, but Wang Yun was defeated quickly.

The days when Bingzhou Group was in charge of the government were over, and under such circumstances, Zhang Liao had to escape with Lu Bu.

However, under his command, Zhang Liao had two thousand stone positions and maintained a certain degree of independence. He was not Lu Bu's entire subordinate.

Also, Lu Bu has a close relationship, Zhang Yang, who is the prefect of Hanoi.

The three were the only three remaining forces of the Bingzhou Group after the Chang'an Mutiny. When Lu Bu went north to surrender to Yuan Shao, he contacted Zhang Yang and sought asylum at Zhang Yang.

However, due to the pressure from Li Jue and Guo Si, Lu Bu had to continue to go north to surrender to Yuan Shao.

Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu all the way, looking for a place to settle down. Because he had read books and had knowledge and had some knowledge, he would always give Lu Bu some advice.

Now facing such a situation, it is time for Zhang Liao to make suggestions.

Zhang Liao thought for a while.

"General, Guo Zifeng is good at fighting. If we go rashly, we may not succeed. This is just a strategy that Yuan Shao is unwilling to accept the general."

"I know this naturally."

Lu Bu sighed and shook his head: "I was a little excited at first, but now I think about it, it is true. Yuan Benchu ​​wants to use me to attack Guo Peng and give him a breather, but this may not be a chance for us."

Lu Bu was fed up with his days of displacedness and wanted to live in a place where he could live. Zhang Liao agreed with him when he said this.

They can support their troops, food, grass, and weapons, and provide specific methods and methods, and provide great titles. As their backing and joint forces, as long as they can open up the situation in Yanzhou, they will definitely be favored by Yuan Shao and gain a place to settle down.

The only problem now is that Guo Peng is strong and good at fighting, has strong combat power in the army, and has many generals who can fight under his command, which has left a profound influence on Lu Bu.

In the battle in Luoyang, Lu Bu and Guo Peng had a head-on confrontation. After experiencing Guo Peng's power, he felt that Guo Peng was very difficult to deal with.

"Guo Zifeng is good at fighting. If we invade Yanzhou, we will inevitably be enemies with Guo Zifeng. Yuan Shao is not Guo Zifeng's opponent, so we will drive us to deal with Guo Zifeng. Fengxian, have you figured out what to do?"

Gao Shun stood up and asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun.

"I no longer want to live under someone else's roof. I was driven from Guanzhong to Yuzhou and from Yuzhou to Hebei. If you wait, don't you feel that such a wandering life can't continue?"

Lu Bu's words were also the inner thoughts of the entire Bingzhou Group. Everyone escaped forever, not because they wanted to continue to be displaced, but because they wanted a territory where they could make a living.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were famous, and Lu Bu dared not take action.

To the west is the Liangzhou Group, which hates them to the core, not to mention it.

Xuzhou is too far away, with Guo Peng being separated by the middle.

At first glance, the only one who can do it is Guo Peng's territory.

"Guo Zifeng is just the governor of Qingzhou, and Yanzhou was not appointed by the imperial court. If I take it, wouldn't I have a great reputation? Am I still afraid that Guo Zifeng will succeed?"

Lu Bu has made a decision.

Zhang Liao understood Lu Bu's thoughts, Gao Shun also understood Lu Bu's thoughts, and the other generals also understood Lu Bu's decision.

So the decision was passed.

Zhang Liao looked at the majestic Lu Bu and felt a little worried.

The reason is that Guo Peng has strong ability to command troops and has led his army to win many battles. He is a recognized famous general in the world.

Although this battle was a sudden attack, although the chances of winning were very high, once Guo Peng's anger aroused and he would do his best to fight, he might not be able to win in the end.

Even if he wins, he will still have a mortal hatred with Guo Peng. Guo Peng is backing Yuan Shu. With Yuan Shu's support and attacking Guo Peng, it is equivalent to offending Yuan Shu and Guo Peng at the same time. Lu Bu insists on being tied to Yuan Shao's chariot.

Yuan Shao...

While Guo Peng was not playing sneak attacks, he was no match for Guo Peng. Instead, he was defeated by Guo Peng's counterattack. Not only did he lose his troops, but the population of Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County was also taken away.

He only has the reputation of the three emperors of four generations, but it is hard to tell the truth that he is famous. After Zhang Liao's observation, he found that Yuan Shao was not as broad-minded as rumored, kind and fraternal, and his power was not as powerful as others promoted.

On the north is Gongsun Zan, on the south are Guo Peng and Yuan Shu. On the south are there no helpers around Yuan Shao, so they are simply facing an enemy. If no one relieves the pressure on him, he will be very dangerous.

He was worried that Guo Peng would take the opportunity to attack him, so he asked Lu Bu to be the sucker to attract Guo Peng's attention and hinder Guo Peng's actions.

But Lu Bu wanted a territory where he could live, which was a good choice for Yanzhou.

With Yuan Shao on his back, he is not worried behind him. Yuan Shao also needs Lu Bu's help to restrain Guo Peng. If he really succeeds, it may not be a good choice.

The problem now is that you really want to become a mortal enemy with Guo Peng and Yuan Shu. Can Yuan Shao become the object of relying on?

Unlike Lu Bu and his group of fighting generals, Zhang Liao was quite politically wise, good at taking sides and speculation, and seized the direction and saved himself in the very dangerous chaos in Luoyang and Chang'an.

How can it work without some ability to survive until now with the experience of General He Jin's old subordinates in Luoyang and Chang'an, where Guo Peng avoided the high mortality rate?

So Zhang Liao thought more and thought more far.

Do you have to be bound to Lu Bu?

This thought arose in his heart, and the past that Zhang Liao buried in his heart for several years was revealed.

It was probably during the Zhongping period, three or four years, and it was five or six years ago.

Zhang Liao was still a minor official in Yanmen County at that time, and before he could even get appreciated by Ding Yuan to become his subordinate.

At that time, Zhang Liao received a call from Guo Peng, who was the prefect of Shanggu.

It is said that Guo Peng lacked talents at that time, so he heard people talk about the reputation of Zhang Liao in Yanmen, so he came here to see him.

Zhang Liao actually found it a bit strange. I am a native of Bingzhou. You are the prefect of Youzhou and summon me to be an official?

At that time, the Han Dynasty was far from chaotic situations, and Emperor Ling was still alive. Of course, Zhang Liao felt that it was not feasible, so he refused on the grounds of taking care of his mother, and the other party did not insist.

Now Zhang Liao couldn't help but have a fantasy. Would it be better if he agreed to Guo Peng's recruitment at that time?

He became an official under his command, and followed him along the way, becoming the governor of Qingzhou and occupied Yanzhou. His power was developing so well, but he still had to live in a displaced place like now?

Zhang Liao knew that the assumption was meaningless, but it was because of the opportunity that he had now had regrets.

Now under Lu Bu's command, he is going to fight against Guo Peng again and fight with him. I still don't know if he can win.
