Having come all this way, the elder brother also instructed that if Liu Wei were willing to offer a certain reward, it wouldn't be impossible for the two brothers to kill Gongsun Zan.
Just when the two of them were eager to try, Liu Wei told them to stand aside and watch, which was quite unexpected.
"What's wrong? I seem to recall Yun Chang saying that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were classmates, so it was inconvenient for him to intervene. Why are you so unhappy now that he's considering your feelings and not letting you fight?"
Liu Wei looked at the two of them with a mocking expression.
"We are now all under the lord's command, so naturally we want to serve him and contribute our strength!" Guan Yu said awkwardly.
Because he did say that.
"Since you know you are under my command, what is the first rule of my army?" Liu Wei said slowly.
"Follow orders!" Before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could reply, Tian Yu interrupted.
"This guy certainly has our military discipline memorized, uttering it so readily!"
Liu Wei asked, "Who are you?"
"Tian Yu, a native of Youbeiping, greets my lord!"
"So you're Tian Yu! Haha!" Liu Wei laughed heartily, his face full of admiration.
It just so happens that I was going to Youbeiping, and now Tian Yu is from Youbeiping. It's like a coincidence that opened the door for me!
Qian Zhao looked at it and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Such a good opportunity to show off, but Tian Guorang got there first! Really!"
He was somewhat annoyed, wondering how he could take the initiative to show his abilities.
"Does my lord understand me?"
Tian Yu was flattered and overwhelmed.
He never expected that Liu Wei would know his name.
"Is there anything I don't know?"
Liu Wei chuckled and pointed at Qian Zhao, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the one who has mastered the Qian Zhao and Qian Zi Jing (a legendary Chinese physician)?"
Qian Zhao was also very surprised: "My lord, you know me too?"
"You and Liu Bei were sworn brothers since childhood, and I've heard Liu Bei mention the two of you!"
Liu Wei smiled faintly.
When Liu Bei first went to Zhuo County and returned home in glory, he would definitely arrange to meet these two childhood friends.
If Tian Yu comes along, then Qian Zhao will definitely come along to take a look too.
Sure enough, the two appeared in Liu Bei's army.
"It is a great honor for us to be known by His Highness the Prince!" the two said in unison.
Seeing Liu Wei's different attitudes towards the two, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt a pang of jealousy.
"Now that I know you two, how about you serve by my side on this expedition, advising on military matters and acting as my advisors?"
The two were overjoyed, never expecting that they would catch Liu Wei's eye without even having to do anything.
"I wonder about Liu Bei's side..."
Tian Yu still considered Liu Bei's feelings, saying, "After all, we were all invited by Brother Xuande."
After all, the two of them were invited by Liu Bei to stay in the army.
Before they set off, he instructed the two to perform well and strive to gain Liu Wei's appreciation and important responsibilities.
They couldn't understand why Liu Bei would be so kind as to push them in front of Liu Wei.
"Oh oh oh!"
Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Xuande is truly thoughtful. I was in dire need of talent when you recommended two such great men to me!"
"After the great victory in the counterattack, I will certainly reward him handsomely!"
He certainly understood Liu Bei's thoughts.
While in Pingyuan, Liu Wei suggested that Liu Bei take his troops back to his hometown to show off, and he also mentioned the names of Tian Yu and Qian Zhao.
Unexpectedly, they met again in Fanyang, where Liu Bei was punished by Liu Wei for boasting about his status as the Imperial Uncle.
Liu Bei was beaten and didn't have time to recommend the two men to Liu Wei.
So he instructed the two of them to perform well.
After all, Liu Wei already knew their names. Rather than hiding them and arousing Liu Wei's suspicion, Liu Bei should openly introduce them, which would also win Liu Wei's favor.
What Liu Bei didn't know was that someone as ambitious as him would have been killed long ago by anyone else.
However, Liu Wei still employed him because Liu Bei had done something back then: he had properly buried Liu Wei's birth mother, Consort Jing.
Out of consideration for his birth mother, Liu Wei still wanted to keep Liu Bei to work for him.
Upon hearing Liu Wei's words of praise for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt a slight sense of relief and bowed, saying, "We will certainly obey our lord's orders!"
Liu Wei looked at the two of them and smiled slightly: "Since you know you have to obey orders, then just focus on controlling the troops and observing the battle."
After speaking, Liu Wei turned his gaze to the battlefield.
At this time, Zhang Liao had already given another pre-battle pep talk to two thousand cavalrymen.
Back then, he borrowed only eight hundred cavalrymen from Liu Wei in Shanwu, and bravely stormed the camp of the Right Grand Commandant of the Southern Xiongnu to relieve Ding Yuan in the ruined city.
Later, in Yunzhong and Guluo City, he commanded more and more troops, reaching 13,000 men, and was appointed as the General of the Yokono.
With two thousand elite cavalrymen at our command, the White Horse Cavalry before us are like clay chickens and earthen dogs.
Soon, the two thousand cavalrymen formed a wedge formation, ready to charge at any moment.
Meanwhile, two hundred paces away, Gongsun Zan, after exchanging a few words with Liu Wei, ignored the heads of Wei You and the other two and immediately returned to his own camp.
"Shan Jing and Zou Dan, you two lead the infantry in the first charge, maintaining formation as you advance while firing arrows to suppress the enemy."
"Yan Gang will lead the White Horse Cavalry to strike from the rear. Once Shan Jing and Zou Dan have trapped the enemy cavalry, you will cut in from the flank and split the enemy cavalry into two groups."
"......"
Gongsun Zan was also deploying his formation and tactics. As long as he could eliminate the enemy's two thousand cavalry, he would win this battle!
"My lord, they still have five hundred cavalrymen. Should we just ignore them?" Yan Gang reminded him.
“These five hundred cavalrymen are clearly Liu Bei’s men! He was summoned by Liu Wei to fight, but he didn’t come himself, sending his two sworn brothers instead. This is clearly because he is ashamed to face me.”
