Chen Xi clearly saw Liu Bei astonish looked and laughed inwardly. At this time, Liu Bei was not famous. He was not an emperor, nor the king of Hanzhong. Who was later known as the white body.
"Since you are a scholar, is there something you need from the army camp?" asked Liu Bei.
"It's just that I have been traveling for a long time, and saw a cooking smoke in the distance, and wanted to stay there for the night. But I wasn't expecting the to place to be general's men are camping." Chen Xi said while praising Liu Bei. Since he wasn't able to ride with Cao Cao, then riding with Liu Bei works too.
Can Chen Xi not know Liu Bei's current situation? Obviously they are also hitching a ride with Gongsun Zan, who was familiar with the princes of the world. They have no soldiers, people, land, or money. They are just a wanderer who have nothing. To be honest, Chen Xi estimated that at this time Liu Bei may not have an idea to conquer the world. After all, his ambition grew with his strength.
"I am not a general, you shouldn't call me that, you shouldn't." Liu Bei scolded, but there was obviously a smile on his face.
"Xi heard that Cao Cao sent a letter to asked the world's righteous men to campaigned against Dong Zhuo together, and wanted to witness it. For me, travelling around the world is to see people from all walks of life." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Liu Bei was stunned by what Chen Xi said, and then looked at the two brothers beside, and the two thousand soldiers behind him. He thought there was no need to be afraid a scholar causing trouble and said, " Since that is the case, prepare dry food for Chen Xi. You can follow me, and my soldiers will not disturb you."
"Thank you Liu Bei." Chen Xi cupped his hand and said with a smile. "Chen Xi will leave first." After Chen Xi said that, he left.
"Third brother, don't make such a big movement for such small things." Liu Bei said after watching Chen Xi leave, and looking at Zhang Fei still standing on the edge of a pit.
"Big brother, why should we let that boy follow us and allow the army to open the way. It was nice of us for not catching him. If you ask me, I think we should drive him away. Taking him to the Hulao Pass would be in vain if he can't get in." Zhang Fei said, while stroking the back of his head.
"Nonsense!" Liu Bei scolded. "There are very few people in this world who can read and write. Why should we offend them and others for trivial matters."
"I also know how to read..." Zhang Fei was glared at by Liu Bei and shrunk his head, whispering softly. But due to his big voice, everyone heard his whisper.
"Alas, Zhang Fei, you have to remember that we are also hitching a ride now. Although brother Gongsun Zan was very kind to me because we study under the same teacher, we do not need to trouble him for trivial matters. The boy before was a scholar from the Chen family in Yingchuan. This is one of the famous families in the world." Liu Bei explained to Zhang Fei quietly when he saw that there were only the guards who had fought the yellow turban with him in the surrounding area.
"Alas, big brother has great ambition but was blocked by a villain." Guan Yu said remembering their heroism was short lived. From the chaos of the yellow turban to the present time, five or six years has passed. The three brothers enthusiasm for serving the country has cool down. The cool down Liu Bei has become a lot more cunning, at least he will not act rashly once again.
"Sigh, let's not talk about it. There will be a use for us in this world. Second brother, third brother, don't be discouraged." Liu Bei smiled slightly, and then thought of something that raised his spirit.
When Chen Xi slipped in to the camp, Chen Lan was a little worried. But when Chen Xi suddenly appeared beside her, she was shcoked.
"Master is back." Uncle Chen was holding a whip, but when he saw that it was Chen Xi he hurriedly hid the whip behind his back.
"There is no need to worry." Chen Xi smiled and said, "We met a good person." A good person card was given to Liu Bei. "Follow the troops in front, they are also going to Hulao Pass."
"Master, this is not a good idea." After all, Uncle Chen has experience more things, and naturally understands the destructive power of the army in this era. They were on another level compared to the bandits.
"It's okay, after all, the other party is a trustworthy person. Let's go and don't worry. With good luck, if we followed the army, we might be able to meet Dong Zhuo. Let me see this Xiliang warrior. When I was young I heard that he convinced many people with his spirit." Chen Xi said with a strange look on his face.
Speaking of it, whether it is Dong Zhuo when he was young, or Yuan Shao who dared to point his sword at Dong Zhuo when he was young, or Cao Cao who defeated Yuan Shao in the middle age and suppressed the Central Plains, they were all very heroic. But when the power was finally in their hands, they became stupid and chose the most undesirable path.
If history can change, and Dong Zhuo follow his original ambition and use his young heroes, to be honest, it is not too difficult to defeat the eighteen princes. Li Ru's fierceness, the power of the world's first general, coupled with the strength of Xiliang Tieqi and the elite of the Bingzhou wolf ride, it is a blessing for the unprepared princes to be able to go back alive.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but be eager. The world's number one Lu Bu, with the world's number one horse, and the power Zhang Fei had shown before, Chen Xi felt that estimating Lu Bu as a humanoid missile is not a problem at all. He must see it, the fight between super-humans!
Chen Xi leisurely followed Liu Bei's troops. Except for the occasional Zhang Fei who ran over to ask questions, no matter whether it was Liu Bei or Guan Yu, Chen Xi did not have any contact with them again.
With such a safe environment and such leisure time, Chen Xi felt that it was necessary to think about the future. After all, this is a turbulent time. If you get involved without precaution, there will be nothing left of you. In this era, many people pay attention to fame, but history has told Chen Xi one thing, that is, if you don't want to be killed like the great Confucian Kong Rong, you should choose a good group to join. Fame can't protect you, only strength can.
Following that thought, Chen Xi thought about the future teams. Anyway, apart from the three group of Cao, Sun, and Liu, their is no need to think about the others. These three groups have been tried and tested in history and the other guys are always far behind.
Just like Cao Cao's evaluation: Yuan Shu in Huainan, withered bones in the mound; Yuan Shao in Jizhou, courageous, but undecided, cherishing life for big things, and forgetting life when seeing small profits; Liu Biao of Jingzhou is not worthy of the truth; Sun Ce borrows his father's name; Liu Zhang is a dog who guards the land; the rest are just mediocre people!
In one sentence, he despised all the princes. When Sun Quan came to power, Cao Cao's evaluation was that he is a son similar to Sun Jian. This explanation means two things. That he is similar in the way he works to Sun Jian. And that he is also a son-level product. Better than Yuan Shao's son and Liu Biao's son, but that's it. There is still a big between him and his predecessors.
