Liu Bei didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning on the bed, and the bed beneath him creaked.
I was up, poured a glass of water for Liu Bei, and then held a palm fan in my hand to fan Liu Bei.
Liu Bei got up, drank water, and his irritability was barely calmed down. He handed the water cup to Gan Mei, took the palm-leaf fan from Gan's hand, and slapped it hard.
"Amei, I'll give me some advice."
"I am a woman, I am not familiar with political affairs, what can I do?" Gan Mei reached out to the tent and took the kettle. "When you have something to do, why not discuss with Jian and Mr. Sun, but you want to ask me a woman, are you worried about them?
have an ax to grind?"
Liu Bei was stunned and suddenly woke up.
Gan Mei is right. He really doesn't trust Jian Yong and others in this matter. There is no other reason. Xuzhou's gains and losses have far less impact on Jian Yong and others.
With Xuzhou, he is the governor of Xuzhou.
Without Xuzhou, he was a beleaguered dog, and there were very few people who could follow him.
But he couldn't say these words, even in front of Gan Mei. Gan Mei was a Danyang native and a member of Tao Qian's wife. She had an inseparable relationship with Tao Qian's old subordinates and was also one of his means to maintain Danyang's soldiers.
.If Gan Mei feels that he is suspicious of Jian Yong and others, the Danyang people, who are already unstable, may rebel.
"Amei, don't underestimate women." Liu Bei's words changed and his face quickly returned to normal. "Do you know Lu Bu's daughter Lu Xiaohuan?"
"I met Mrs. Mao once. Although she was a woman, she was quite masculine. I heard that her martial arts skills were good, and she was well-known for her true teachings."
"She is now the Yulin Knight, the real Knight by the Emperor."
"Is that right?" Gan Mei was a little surprised. "It's worthy of being Lu Bu's daughter, so I won't let you go."
"The emperor has a female army, which is said to have two or three thousand people, all of which are the women of the Han and Hu." Liu Bei thought of those legends that he did not know the truth and falsehood, and was in a daze. It is said that there were not only Qiang people but also Xiongnu people in that female army.
Xianbei people and women from the Western Regions have white skin as white as milk, blue eyes as jade, yellow as gold, and beautiful appearance. I don’t know when I can see my true face.
"Husband, the emperor really treats women as his army?" Gan Mei asked curiously.
Liu Bei came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor not only regards women as his army, but also Ma Teng and Han Sui's daughter as the commander. Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu is more powerful than Lu Xiaohuan. She went to the battle of Tu Ze last time.
He killed a Xianbei general with his own hands and was granted the title of marquis for his merits."
Gan Mei widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands, for fear of making a sound.
Lu Xiaohuan was in the army and had a father like Lu Bu. He was skilled in bows and horses, so it was not difficult to understand as a female knight. However, Ma Yunlu joined the army as a woman and killed generals and was named a marquis, which was unprecedented.
"The emperor... can recognize people and use people. No wonder he can achieve such great achievements." Gan Mei calmed down after a while and said sincerely.
"Yes, the emperor can recognize people and use people." Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little complicated.
After talking to Gan Mei for a long time, he understood the choices of Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others more and even Wang Lang's choices, but his loss became heavier and heavier. The emperor could use Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, but he ignored him.
He was very disappointed that he refused to issue an edict to identify his Xuzhou governor.
"Lord, lord." The door was suddenly knocked by someone, with a loud and urgent sound.
"Who?" Liu Bei was shocked, turned over and got out of bed, and took off the sword hanging in front of the bed.
"Lord, it's me." Jian Yong's voice sounded, with indescribable urgency and some excitement. "The emperor's edict is urgent, and he will be quick to answer the edict quickly."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed. While asking Gan Mei to serve him in clothes, he asked the maid to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jian Yong broke in, ignored Gan Mei, who was dressed in thin clothes, rushed to Liu Bei, and pulled Liu Bei away.
"Xianhe, Xianhe." Liu Bei was speechless and shook his arms a few times, trying to break free from Jian Yong, but failed to do so.
Jian Yong pulled Liu Bei to the main hall, and a dusty knight was sitting on the steps drinking water and eating dry food. Seeing Liu Bei coming, he quickly put down his food and bowed to salute.
"Is it that Xuzhou governor Liu Junxuande?"
"That's right." Liu Bei took out the seal and found out his true self.
The knight took out the edict, handed it to Liu Bei with both hands, took out two more letters, looked at it through the light, handed one of them to Liu Bei, and put away the other one.
Liu Bei took the letter and saw that it was written by Zhao Yun, and he suddenly felt a sudden heart.
After Zhao Yun went on a trip, although he kept in touch with him, he had never written a letter to him directly through Guan Yu. This time, the letter was sent suddenly, and it was handed over by the knight who sent the edict. It would never be a simple question. Hou.
Although Liu Bei was anxious, he still suppressed his temper and received the edict calmly.
After reading the edict, Liu Bei's cheeks twitched twice, and the portrait became petrified and motionless.
"Master?" Jian Yong shouted softly.
"Xianhe, please see for yourself." Liu Bei took a deep breath and handed the edict to Jian Yong.
Jian Yong was confused, but he still took it. His eyesight was not very good and the light was not bright enough, so he had to come to the light. After reading a few lines of words, he suddenly felt aroused his heart, and understood why Liu Bei was so disobedient. I was worried that I had read it wrong, so I widened my eyes and looked it again, without realizing that I was too close to the bronze lamp, and my hair was even battered.
Liu Bei smelled the burnt smell, turned around and quickly pulled Jian Yong away from the bronze lamp, and patted Jian Yong twice with his sleeve.
Jian Yong did not move, his eyes widened. After a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Bei with ecstasy in his eyes.
"Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord." Jian Yong shouted, bowed and bowed.
"Hahaha..." Liu Bei held Jian Yong's arm with both hands and laughed loudly. "Xianhe, this is good news, this is good news."
"Yes, it's definitely good news." Jian Yong couldn't help laughing.
As long as you keep Xuzhou, Liu Bei can restore his clan family, which is definitely good news. This is true for Liu Bei and he is the same.
After waiting for so long, the emperor finally gave Liu Bei a very attractive condition.
"Lord, look at Zilong's letters." Jian Yong first reacted and quickly reminded him. "The emperor must have Zilong's contribution in this move."
"Yes, yes." Liu Bei slapped his forehead and woke up from a dream. He hurriedly picked up Zhao Yun's letter and opened it and looked carefully.
Zhao Yun's letter was not long, and he did not mention why the emperor promised a heavy reward. Instead, he made some suggestions for recruitment.
Xu Ying recruited soldiers to divide the land into different levels according to the size of their military achievements, and at least 50 acres of land can be divided into five acres, which is enough to support the family of five.
After reading the letter, Liu Bei and Jian Yong looked at each other, their cheeks twitched twice, wanting to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.
