Liu Bu led three thousand elite cavalry to Hejian Mansion overnight. Xiao Ning, Liu Guotai and others were very happy. They went out ten miles away to welcome him overnight. Liu Bu entered Hejian Mansion at night and entered the first important town in southern Beijing.

Liu Bu's idea was similar to Xiao Ning, and he was also preparing to use attack instead of defense to defend Shandong. He unexpectedly conquered Hejian Mansion. This was an unexpected surprise. Since he conquered Hejian Mansion, they should be happy about it. So he praised Xiao Ning and Liu Guotai, believing that he was a talent.

Liu Guotai was praised by Liu Bu, which was very happy. He knew that Liu Bu's status in the Liu family was equivalent to that of the crown prince, and he was the future master. If he received his recognition, he would be free of wealth.

So he quickly expressed his gratitude and was very happy. Originally, he joined the Liu family, and was worried that he didn't know where to go to the dock and should be under the boss. Although he kept saying that he would follow Xiao Ning and only followed him, he was also an ambitious person. He was not as good as setting up his own business and standing on the top of the mountain, and directly finding a top boss. This is the best way.

Isn't this! If he could rely on Liu Bu, he would be afraid that he would not be able to make a fuss. Moreover, Liu Bu had such a good impression of him and praised him in public. After Liu Bu praised him, he also said: "The red pink is given to the beauty, and the sword is given to the martyr. This Longquan sword has followed me for many years and has drunk countless blood. Today I will give it to General Liu as a gift for meeting."

The Longquan sword that Liu Bu wore was naturally a good sword, but it was not what he boasted about being with him for many years. It was just an ordinary sword with him, and there were more than a dozen around him. He gave the sword to the other party just an attitude and a method to win over the hearts of the people. As expected, when he did this, the other party was so happy that he knelt down and thanked him repeatedly.

Liu Bu entered Hejian Mansion and rested in the barracks for more than an hour. It started to dawn. Then he formally inspected the army in the barracks. The morale of the army was very good.

There are nearly 20,000 soldiers in Hejian Prefecture, 10,000 of the most elite Liu family troops, and 10,000 of them are Ming troops who surrendered to him. They are quite powerful. Even if Hong Chengchou dares to lead a large army to attack, it will not be so easy to capture. Liu Bu said he was relieved.

Since they can take over Hejian Mansion with surprise, they naturally have to stick to this place.

They all know the importance of this place. If they guard this place well, they will enter Hebei and Beizhili. It will not be easy for the court to attack Shandong. They can only take the lead in taking Hejian Prefecture. It can be said that the court has already fallen at a disadvantage in the strategic move of both sides. If it were not for the possibility that Wang Fatty and Liu Bu were worried, the Liu family would have almost always won.

After Liu Bu reviewed these troops, he expressed his satisfaction. Then he said to Liu Guotai: "General Liu, you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and join my Liu family army. It proves that you have a great vision. Now the Japanese general is about to return to Jinan, so he leads the general to Jinan with him. After meeting his father, he will definitely give him a good job."

Liu Guotai quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, but the new general has not made any achievements. I really dare not see my lord. After the general makes his contribution, he will go to see his lord again. This is legitimate."

Liu Guotai did not dare to go to Jinan to meet Liu Yuanqiao, but the same reason was that he had to stay with his army. He had to firmly control his army. He knew that as soon as he left here, he would definitely be divided and annexed by Xiao Ning. Maybe he could do a good job in Jinan and become a high-ranking official, but his soldiers would be swallowed by Xiao Ning.

If all his soldiers were swallowed by Xiao Ning and he became a bachelor general, it would have no meaning. What he said about leading his own army, listening to the tune or not, is just empty talk, and the other party can completely avoid him.

There is one thing that Liu Guotai knew very clearly. This is that without soldiers in his hands, he would be nothing.

So even if it was an invitation from Liu Bu's marriage, he still did not dare to go. He had to make sure to consolidate his military power before he would dare to meet the Liu family's father and son. Otherwise, he would go to meet the Liu family's father and son, but his military power was emptied by others and he would become a bachelor general.

After defecting to the Liu family army for a few days, Xiao Ning was polite to him, and did not win over his subordinates, nor did he mean to undermine him. However, he had to be careful to prevent such consequences, because he knew that as a later generation, he did not dare to go to Jinan to meet the Liu family father and son alone before the Liu family was completely firm. If he wanted to see him, he had to take his army with him, but he knew that this was impossible.

When Liu Bu heard the other party's refusal, his face immediately sank. He knew clearly what the other party thought, because Xiao Ning had reported the matter secretly, and Liu Bu's Sanmao staff team around him had also discussed this matter and had their response plan.

When Liu Bu was busy, he came to Hejian Mansion, mainly to solve this problem.

If Liu Guotai surrendered and they would fully integrate into them, the Liu family army would not care about giving the other party a fame. The other party wanted money and women.

The Liu family army is different from many forces. As long as they are loyal to their Liu family and can do things for their Liu family, they will not care even if they do something extraordinary. For example, if Liu Guotai destroys the entire family of the prefect Du Wenhuan, the local people are actually very angry because Du Wenhuan's official voice is good and is very supportive of the people, but the fate of his family is so tragic. It is said that his wife and daughter are still imprisoned by Liu Guotai, and are ruined and tortured day and night.

However, Liu's army did not care about these things. Just turn a blind eye and close one. As long as he can serve the Liu family, these are all minor details.

But some things are very serious for the Liu family. They started with the army, and he knew the importance of the army to his Liu family. The Liu family started by digging the corners of the court. He would not allow others to dig out his corners, and he would engage in any servants and personality worship in his Liu family army.

Liu Guotai surrendered to him. If he obediently cooperated with the Liu family's actions, it would be his benefit, but if he dared to hinder the development of the Liu family, it would be impossible to have an army by himself.

When Liu Bu saw this, he smiled and said, "General Liu, you are afraid that you have thought a little too much. This is an order, not a request. You have to go even if you don't go even if you don't."

Liu Guotai was unhappy when he heard the other party say this publicly. She was a cunning person. He immediately knew that the other party was trying to make his military power. He smiled and said, "General Mo is willing to accompany the adults, but the tens of thousands of soldiers under the General General are inseparable from General General. Once General General leaves, he is afraid that these people will get into trouble and it will be difficult to deal with."

Liu Guotai said this, that the other party wanted to plan his army and wanted to undermine him. It was not easy. He had tens of thousands of soldiers supporting him. Hong Chengchou, who was cunning in the past, could not do anything to him, so he didn't have to worry about the smell of Liu Bu.

In short, it's just a saying: as long as you have soldiers in your hands, you can do anything.

Liu Bu was not scared by the other party's soft and thorny words. He said, "Military orders are like mountains. If I ask you to go, you have to go. Which soldier under your command dares to disobey? Of course, there are military laws to engage in. Is it a joke for my Liu family army to kill seven bans and thirteen slaughter?"

When Liu Guotai saw the other party pressing step by step, he knew that the other party wanted to force him to leave the army, and then completely bribed his army and put him in vain. In this way, he did not dare to go. He said, "Is this a bit too much? When you agreed, I said it very clearly when I surrendered. This is a single army, and I will listen to the command or not."

Liu Bu said: "In my Liu family army, the government orders are unified, and there is no single army, and there is no need to listen to the command or not. If the military orders are not implemented, the military law must be implemented. You have figured it out."

Liu Guotai's face changed, and he said, "The Grand Marshal was joking when he said this? He only started to turn against others after entering the door for a few days?"

Liu Bu said: "It's not that we turn against each other, but that our Liu family army is in a mountain of orders. The soldiers of my Liu family are only loyal to the Liu family, not to any general."

Liu Guotai said, "In this way, the Liu family is a little unwelcoming to us newcomers. We want to exclude us newcomers. Since you don't like us, let's break up, right?"

Liu Guotai winked at his subordinates and then took the lead. But what surprised him and shocked him was his dozens of generals, none of whom followed him, but they all stood still. Liu Guotai only now knew that something was wrong, and the other party actually bribed his subordinates without hesitation, but he did not hear any rumors.

Liu Bu smiled and said, "The gate of my Liu family army is open. If you want to come, you can go as soon as you want. Since General Liu, you don't want to do it anymore, please do it?"

Only then did Liu Guotai realize that he had fallen into the other party's trick. He was shocked and angry. He was scolded by more than a dozen of his subordinates: "You guys who are so cruel and betrayed me. You are not worried about being punished by God!"

In the face of Liu Guotai's angry scolding, these generals did not dare to talk back, nor did they want to speak up, but just lowered their heads. Some people were slandering their lips. If you can betray the court, why can't we betray you? Besides, the conditions offered by the Liu family are so good, why should we go along with you?

Seeing that these subordinates were silent and did not speak, he realized that something was wrong and that he realized that things were going to be bad. He was angry and pointed at Liu Bu and said, "You are drawing boards across the bridge. You don't keep your word and spread it. Who else in the world is willing to surrender to you?"
