Chapter 134 If I had known this, why would I fight?
"what?"

Zhang Fei's pupils widened, he never expected that the 'prefect' was so close to him, his mouth began to secrete saliva desperately, and then he swallowed it all in one gulp, his hands clenched into fists in excitement, he let out a 'hehe' laugh, and moved closer to Liu Bei.

"Brother, what do you think of me?" Zhang Fei patted his chest, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you do it beautifully."

"Ahem." Guan Yu coughed a few times, signaling his third brother, "I'm still here." But when he saw Zhang Fei's eager eyes, he swallowed back what he wanted to say and changed his words, "I still want to rebuild Haomen."

The implication is, forget it, Third Brother, I'll give it to you.

"Third brother, you have been working hard day and night these days, you should take a rest." Liu Bei did not mind the big deal, he raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Yun and smiled, "I think it is better to let Zilong come."

Zhang Fei wanted to say something, but when he saw that Zhao Yun was moved, he could no longer sit still. He immediately jumped up from his chair and quickly walked to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong." Zhang Fei leaned close to Zhao Yun's ear.

"Third brother?"

Everyone present looked at Zhang Fei, who lowered his voice and said, "Zilong, come with me."

"it is good."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists towards everyone, said "excuse me" several times, and followed Zhang Fei to the corner of the wall.

Zhao Yun smiled. He had a general understanding of Zhang Fei's personality and naturally understood what Zhang Fei meant. However, he did not point it out. Instead, he asked, "Third brother, what do you mean?"

"Zilong." Zhang Fei looked around and made sure that no one was following him. Then he said with confidence, "If we two brothers fight, it may hurt our relationship. It will be bad if the eldest brother gives the opportunity to Han Sheng. Han Sheng is a brave general like Lian Po. Let me do it this time. Isn't there a saying called "do it in one go"? Next time, it will be you and the second brother's turn."

"Third brother, I can't make the decision. I listen to the master."

"Oh, Zilong, Zilong, my good fourth brother, if you had given up like my second brother, wouldn't my eldest brother have let me go? How can you not know how to adapt? As long as Wuwei County is recovered, won't there be several more counties in the future?"

Zhao Yun understood what Zhang Fei meant. At that moment, the Qiang and Hu people were fleeing northwards, and Wuwei County was adjacent to Jincheng County in the north. If they couldn't take Wuwei County, how could they take Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang?
But Zhao Yun still refused, which left Zhang Fei completely helpless. He gritted his teeth, looked at Zhao Yun with a complicated look, and was called back to his original position by Liu Bei.

"How about the discussion?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Zhang Fei lowered his head, "Alas, I failed to convince Zilong."

"What good ideas do you have, wise men?" Liu Bei asked again.

Ma Teng spoke subconsciously, "Master, I think we should have a fight, and whoever wins will go."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned. Even Pang De looked at Ma Teng with an extremely strange look. Jia Xu even moved his chair to the side, wanting to stay away from Ma Teng.

"This..." Ma Teng realized it later and added quickly: "I was joking, please forgive me, forgive me."

Fortunately, Liu Bei would not take his words out on others. He smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. It's a pity that we are not rangers now."

Everyone laughed, and Ma Teng closed his mouth. He decided not to make any sound no matter what happened next.

After some discussion, Liu Bei asked, "How about drawing lots?"

"Draw lots?"

Zhang Fei didn't think much about it and said quickly, "Okay, I think it's a good idea, let's draw lots."

Everyone present spoke in unison, expressing their agreement.

Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to stand up and turn their backs to him, and then he found two pieces of jute paper, crumpled them into a ball, and covered them with two empty tea cups.

"Alright, Third Brother, Zilong, you can turn around now."

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and then they turned around and found that everyone was sitting in a row, looking at them with interest. Liu Bei explained, "Third brother, Zilong, there are two tea cups in front of you. There is a ball of jute paper in each tea cup, and only one of them has a black spot on it. Go attack Wuwei with the black spot."

"Okay, I'll go first!"

Zhang Fei strode forward, leaned over, and carefully compared the two teacups, trying to figure out the answer from their appearance.

Zhao Yun patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, give me one."

Zhang Fei did not respond. He grabbed the first one, but when he saw Zhao Yun was about to reach for the second one, he changed his mind and grabbed the second one.

Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head.

When he opened the teacup and was about to unfold the jute paper ball, Zhang Fei felt his heart pounding and his breathing quickened. The moment he spread out the paper ball, his eyes suddenly widened because the black spots on the jute paper were so eye-catching.

Okay, I guessed it.

Zhang Fei clenched his fist, but this meant that there was no black spot on Zilong's hand. Logically speaking, it should be Zilong who went. I suddenly changed my mind.
A feeling of shame welled up in my heart.

Without waiting for Zhang Fei to speak, Liu Bei walked over to Zhao Yun with a smile, took the unopened paper ball, looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Third brother, how is it?"

"It seems that I'm not that happy." Zhang Fei answered honestly.

“There’s no need to argue.”

Liu Bei's sudden words startled Zhang Fei. He asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"There are still Qiang and Hu bandits in the north who have not been conquered yet," Liu Bei explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei slapped his thigh fiercely and forced a smile, "If I had known this, why would I fight with Zilong?"

"Third brother, don't be so impatient in the future."

"Brother, I know, I know."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and burst into laughter, creating a happy atmosphere. Except for Ma Teng, everyone present knew what Liu Bei was thinking. There were black spots on the two pieces of jute paper, which essentially meant that Liu Bei wanted to tell Zhang Fei to stay calm in everything and not be rash.

In Liu Bei's opinion, it was indeed a good idea for Zhang Fei to go and attack the city. Even though Zhao Yun was powerful, he still lacked experience. The most crucial point was that although the court gave him the title of Captain of the Protectorate of the Qiang, it did not give him the corresponding troops. The missing troops could only be supplemented in Liangzhou. All the soldiers recruited now were new recruits. They had to undergo basic training and see blood on the battlefield before they could become elite soldiers.

Due to the vigorous development of medical officers and the indoctrination of emergency medical knowledge, there were actually not many soldiers who died in Liu Bei's army. Even if they were seriously injured, as long as they were treated at the time and treated by medical officers, saving their lives would not be a problem. After they recovered, these old soldiers could return to their troops if they were not seriously ill. If they were disabled, Liu Bei would let them become civil servants or assist the captain in training troops.

At present, Liu Bei's old soldiers who were still able to fight, including the troops brought by Zhao Yun, totaled no more than 3,000. With 3,000 men armed with weapons forged with new technology in recent days, plus Zhang Fei who was already able to take charge of his own affairs, it would be no problem to wipe out the Qiang and Hu in Wuwei County.

As for the arrangement of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, Liu Bei actually asked them to train their troops by wiping out the bandits. After all, sending new soldiers to the front line was not intentional, was it not intentional to kill people? Who would do such a thing?

Think of this.

Liu Bei told them about his arrangements for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.

"Appoint Yunchang and Yide as deputy lieutenants, and Xianhe as assistant, in charge of documents."

"promise."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and clasped their fists.
