In the evening.
Jiangling County Chief's Mansion was brightly lit, and the people who came and went were all generals under Liu Bei's tent.
If Zhang Song was treated coldly by Cao Cao in the capital…
Then…
Liu Bei, on the other hand, showed Zhang Song the passion of the Great Han Imperial Uncle.
Not only that.
The Han Dynasty respected the right, and Liu Bei placed Zhang Song's seat below the main seat, in the first row on the right.
He was sitting opposite Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Yi, who were seated on the lower left side of the main seat.
Logically speaking, Zhuge Yi, a junior, was not qualified to be at the front.
However, the impression he left on Liu Bei today was too deep.
Liu Bei had someone put an extra cushion behind the long table on the lower left so that he could sit with his father, Zhuge Liang.
It was a show of favor and importance.
It was Liu Bei's actions that made Zhuge Yi the second focus of attention, second only to Zhang Song.
Some of Liu Bei's subordinates who were familiar with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, and the others gave Zhuge Yi friendly looks after learning of his identity.
Of course.
During this process, Zhuge Yi was also observing Liu Bei's subordinates.
He was born with ape arms, his hair and beard were all white, and he was almost seventy years old. There was naturally no need to say much about the old general who lived beside Zhao Yun.
Who else could Huang Zhong, the general of the Five Tigers?
Although the Battle of Mount Dingjun had yet to happen, there was no reason for it…
The moment Zhuge Yi saw General Huang, a grand melody appeared in his ears.
"Raise the treasured saber and prepare the treasured saddle."
"Follow me to Mount Dingjun."
"The west wind is fierce, blowing the long beard."
"Snow Hair Iron Armor Mystic."
"Mount Dingjun…"
"A real man doesn't care about age."
"Brave after hundreds of battles, I see the heavens with my loyal heart.”
"Mount Dingjun…"
"Thinking of life is like a carved feather sword, coming and going like smoke, only kindness and righteousness will never leave the bow!”
“……”
In the distance.
Huang Zhong, who was chatting with Zhao Yun in a low voice before the banquet officially began, could not help but frown.
Huang Zhong, who felt a burning gaze on him, instantly looked in the direction of the gaze.
When he saw that the person who was watching him was the Military Advisor Young Master that Zhao Yun had mentioned to him just now.
He smiled kindly at Zhuge Yi.
However…
What puzzled Huang Zhong was…
Why was this young master looking at him with such admiration?
Could it be that his name had already spread to River East?
"Yi 'er, you seem to think highly of Old General Huang?”
Zhuge Liang, who had been paying attention to Zhuge Yi, asked Zhuge Yi discreetly while he was taking the tea.
Zhuge Yi did not deny it.
"Father is right. I do have respect for this old general who is still able to fight on the battlefield in his seventies.”
"In the past!"
"Although I once lived in Jing State, I've only heard of Huang Hansheng's name.”
"I'm lucky enough to see it today, so I naturally have to take a few more glances.”
"What a pity…"
As he spoke, Zhuge Yi sighed regretfully, attracting Zhuge Liang's attention.
"What's a pity?" he asked softly.
"Unfortunately, Old General Huang was born at the wrong time.”
"By the time I met Imperial Uncle, it was already too late!”
"If I could have met a wise master like Imperial Uncle earlier, how could I have let that Lu Fengxian become the 'martial' ruler of the world before Tiger Cage Pass!”
Regarding the debate between Huang Zhong, who was at the peak of his prime, and Lu Bu, who was in Tiger Prison, Zhuge Yi was inclined to side with the former.
It was a pity.
No matter how much he stood on Huang Zhong's side, it could only be wishful thinking.
Nothing else.
Because Fengxian had fallen, Huang Zhong's temples had turned white, and he was no longer at his peak.
The battle between the two was destined to be like Guan Yu versus Qin Qiong, with no result.
Unless time flowed backwards.
Otherwise, it would probably only appear in novels.
"Oh?"
Zhuge Liang replied with a low voice.
He didn't know why Zhuge Yi would associate Huang Zhong with Lu Bu.
However…
Indeed, he did not participate in Zhuge Yi's debate about who was stronger.
No matter how strong his martial strength was.
In the end, he could only show off his courage for a moment.
Compared to Huang Zhong at the peak, Tiger Cage Lu Bu, these brave and fierce generals…
What Zhuge Liang liked the most were generals who were able to govern the army and lead the troops well.
For example.
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and the others.
Zhuge Yi saw that his father, Zhuge Liang, was not interested in continuing the conversation on this topic, so he stopped talking.
He continued to size up the civil and military officials at the banquet.
Interesting.
Zhuge Yi started laughing as he read on.
Because he realized.
The civil and military officials participating in this banquet could be roughly divided into two factions.
One was Liu Bei's elder faction.
Or rather, Liu Bei's original team was more suitable.
They were led by Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Liu Yan, and Chen Dao.
One was the Jing State Faction.
His father Zhuge Liang, his uncle Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Yi Ji, Deng Zhi, Ma Liang, Huo Jun, Jiang Wan, and Xiang Lang were the representatives.
Although the two factions were smiling and chatting, it was not difficult to see that the factions under Liu Bei had already begun to show signs.
For example.
Mi Zhu's younger brother, Mi Fang, sat there drinking alone, not talking to Wei Yan at all.
Wei Yan was talking to Huo Jun beside him, not even looking at Mi Fang.
Seeing this scene.
Zhuge Yi found it extremely interesting.
The two factions were already like this. Who knew how chaotic it would be if Uncle Liu's subordinates joined the Eastern Province Faction and the local faction of Yizhou in the future.
He was looking at…
Zhuge Yi's eyes widened.
"Eh?"
"Why is Xiang Chong here with his uncle, Xiang Lang?”
"I just don't know."
"Does this kid still remember my…"
" Brother Bamboo Horse!!!"
