At least within the small group at that time, he was a cultural person second only to Liu Bei. He came from a low-class noble family and had read a few books. He was not a simple reading and writing player.
Therefore, he was also the earliest secretary, diplomat, and logistics officer in the group. He was Liu Bei's right-hand man in the early days, and he was once a standard civil servant.
However, due to lack of manpower, Jian Yong was forced to participate in many passionate interactions with everyone and mingle with the elders in his hometown.
Although his personal force is weak and his individual fighting ability is not strong, in terms of character, he has gradually become a bit like burning books and humiliating Confucians.
And due to his lack of personal force, in order to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Bei, he had to use more strategies to win. In the later period, Jian Yong gradually evolved from a cowardly bastard from a third-rate noble family to a cunning and gentle scum, a typical representative of a kind-faced and evil-hearted person.
.
He had seen the bears like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others in their early days, and knew what kind of people they were originally. He had also seen them beaten into cowards with three pig heads and four pig heads, so even if they are now five to six people, they are as big as one.
Jian Yong didn't have the same awe of them as the others because of the general's demeanor.
When other people saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leading generals who had made many contributions, they were respectful and fearful. Even the important staff officials around Liu Bei, such as Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, etc., when they saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc.
People are also respected.
But Jian Yong was different. When Jian Yong faced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he recruited these people with just one word: quarrel.
"Who said I lie in bed the most? Guan Changsheng, please stop spewing nonsense!"
Jian Yong became angry, pointed at Guan Yu and cursed: "That time when we fought with Chen Dazui in the west of the city, you insisted on taking the lead, but what happened? Chen Dazui knocked him down with just one blow! He lay down for five days before he recovered!
It’s the doctor I went to find for you! You forgot, but I didn’t forget!”
"That's different!"
Guan Yu, who was mentioned about the embarrassing incident, broke his guard, pointed at Jian Yong and said angrily: "That bastard doesn't follow the rules! He threw dirt on my face in the middle of the battle! He attacked me before I could react! That's how despicable he is.
!If you have the ability, let me have a fair fight with him! I have to smash his head!"
"You even smashed his head and knocked him down with a handful of dirt. Don't you understand that soldiers are always tired of deceit? It's his ability to knock you down!"
Jian Yong laughed and said: "I was the one who led the sneak attack to kill that bastard later. That bastard was still having sex with a woman when I killed him, and he was hacked to death on the bed by me. Come to think of it, I
Is this considered revenge for you?"
Guan Yu blew his beard and glared angrily, punched the table with his fist, and was speechless. However, in the blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Fei snickering there, and Guan Yu couldn't hold back any longer.
"Yide, why are you laughing?"
"No, I didn't... Phew... Hahahahaha!"
Zhang Fei stopped pretending and started laughing, holding his stomach. Guan Yu couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Yide, don't blame me. When we fought with Wang Niujiao, you rushed in front and were beaten to the ground. I rushed to save you despite many people, but the result..."
"Brother Zhong!"
Zhang Fei's expression immediately changed and he immediately called out to Guan Yu: "Younger brother is ignorant! Brother Zhong! Stop talking about that matter! It's shameless!!"
"Say it! Say it! What's going on?"
Jian Yong didn't mind seeing the excitement and kept teasing Guan Yu. Liu Bei was also a little interested in this matter.
"Yun Chang, tell me."
"Brother!"
Zhang Fei broke his guard and looked at Liu Bei, then at Qianzhao, then at Guan Yu as if pleading, sending out distress rays everywhere, but to no avail.
Everyone is not a good person. They all like to expose other people's shortcomings and rely on other people's pain in exchange for their own happiness. How can you endure such a thing?
"Who asked you to start first? Yide, don't blame me."
Guan Yu grinned and said coldly: "Yide was beaten so hard that he couldn't even control the reincarnation of grains. His pants were covered inside and outside. I saw that he was covered in dirt and mud, and I didn't know what it was. I thought it was
He was injured, and when he reached out his hand, he made me sick..."
Guan Yu seemed to remember something from the past that he couldn't bear to look back on, with a look of disgust on his face.
"ah!!!!!!"
Zhang Fei covered his head and cried out in pain.
Jian Yong suddenly laughed like crazy.
Liu Bei also used strong willpower to restrain his urge to laugh.
"No, why don't I remember that happened?"
Guan Yu laughed.
"He felt embarrassed, so he secretly pulled on someone else's pants and put them on. After returning, he secretly went to the river to take a bath and came back very late."
Liu Bei couldn't hold himself any longer and laughed for a while before reaching out and patting Zhang Fei on the shoulder.
"Good guy, luckily we are on the upper reaches of the river, hahahaha... Yide, it's okay, it's over now and we won't laugh at you."
"But brother, you are obviously smiling..."
"Nonsense, I'm trying to comfort you. How could you think I'm laughing at you?"
"Brother, do you think I will believe you?"
Liu Bei couldn't hold himself any longer, he lowered his head and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled.
Zhang Fei once again covered his face in grief and anger, looking up to the sky and roaring.
After a burst of laughter, a gust of cold wind blew by, which made several people feel a little more awake.
The past goes with the wind. What happened almost twenty years ago was quite dangerous at the time, but now it seems that it was just a play for children at the Youzhou level. For the real Shura battlefield, it is really nothing.
.
So many years have passed in a flash, and everyone has changed from a passionate boy in his teens to a mature man in Luoyang in his thirties now. No one can go back.
Of course, there is no need to go back.
Several people were silent for a while.
Later, Liu Bei picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and reopened the topic.
"It's all over, it's all over, whether it's funny or dangerous, it's all over. We are no longer the gangsters in Zhuoxian County. I am the emperor, and you are my ministers and generals who are following us.
It was no longer just a few hundred people, but the entire Han Dynasty, tens of millions of people.
Becoming the emperor at this moment is not what I expected, and I think you are not prepared for it. But now that the matter has come to this, none of us can avoid that responsibility. Although this responsibility is very heavy, we must shoulder it.
If we can't carry it, the big man will be doomed.
But I have to say, after you gain power, I don’t want you to act arrogant. I don’t want you to bully the weak just to show your power. I have always believed that a real man, after gaining power, should formulate a complete plan.
Rules to protect the weak from bullying.
If after he gains power, he uses it to bully the weak, then he is not a real man, but has fallen like a eunuch, with yin and yang. Such a person is not my brother, and he will definitely not end well."
Saying this, Liu Bei put down the wine glass in his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Zijing, Xianhe, Yun Chang, and Yide, you have been with me the longest, and you are also the most important subordinates I value most. You are like brothers in my heart. My feelings for you are the same as those of others.
are different, and precisely because of this, I cannot tolerate the mistakes you have made.
When others make mistakes, I will punish them according to the law. This is a very simple matter. But when you make mistakes, you violate not only the law, but also my feelings for you. Therefore, when you make mistakes, it is something I cannot accept.
, do you understand?”
Liu Bei said this without looking at anyone, and his tone was very gentle. It didn't seem like there was anything special about it.
But when these words fell into the ears of the other four people, they had an inexplicable smell.
Liu Bei was not a violent or murderous person, they were sure of this.
But Liu Bei is also a man who will never show mercy to his enemies. This is also certain.
Therefore, they who have followed Liu Bei for so long understand that they must listen to Liu Bei's warnings to them and must not turn a deaf ear to them. They must not think that past friendship can determine everything.
So these four people all know what they should do in the next few days.
The next day, the morning before the Chinese New Year, Liu Bei called all his core team to his study.
Tell the truth.
The cronies in the court represented by Han Rong, Cao Cao, etc., as well as the cronies sent abroad represented by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, once again gathered around Liu Bei to listen to Liu Bei's assignment of the next tasks.
"Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I still want to tell you some things in advance. Just because I'm the emperor doesn't mean everything will be fine. There are still many people in the world who are dissatisfied with me and are staring at me, both overtly and covertly.
, always ready to resist.
My next big goals are two, one is to change the national policy of the Han Dynasty from internal to external, and the other is to complete the comprehensive land survey, conduct a census of the country's fields, and then determine the taxes and recover the tax revenue that the court should receive.
I know that your family has more or less some land, and I will set some standards for how much land needs to be paid and how much tax. Generally speaking, the more land, the higher the tax. This matter is inevitable.
It must be done, I need everyone to agree and support me."
