Chapter 187, Xuzhou is broken, what does it have to do with me?
Xuzhou, Xiaopei City, the largest mansion in the city.
"Two big men, mixed with a big-eared man, listened attentively to Jian Yong, describing the situation in Xiapi.
Da'er returned to Xiaopei from the side of the Huaihe River, narrowly escaping death, and his face was three times uglier than when he was at the Huaihe River.
He used to be the lord of Xuzhou, but now he has become a top military leader. The huge gap has made Liu Bei's city unable to withstand it.
Big Er left Lu Zhi's side, indulged in fresh clothes and angry horses, and has not released the scroll for a long time.
During the ten days I returned to Xiapi, I read Mencius's articles every day. When I read that heaven was about to confer a great responsibility on the world, I excitedly shook my long arms and beat my knees to feel a little refreshed.
Although Liu, Guan, and Zhang were still breathing heavily, the money and food obtained from Zuo Rong in Guangling were almost exhausted.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's investments showed signs of failure, and Mrs. Mi was also ignored by Big Er. Inexplicably, there was a commoner girl, Mrs. Gan, alongside Mi Lan'er. The angry Mrs. Mi disappeared behind closed doors to Liu Bei.
As a businessman, assessing the situation is the most important thing. Mi Zhu's mind was spinning. Although he was still on duty in front of Liu Bei, he was less attentive. Apart from some beautiful jade, there was no financial support in Donghai's family.
Liu Bei had neither money nor food, so he couldn't recruit new soldiers. Except for the three thousand Buqu he brought back here, and the thousands of people from the small aristocratic families who admired the reputation of Da'er and came to rely on them at their own expense from the north, there were no new recruits available. The Emperor's uncle's career
, almost hitting rock bottom.
Liu Bei, who had been dormant in the plains for a long time, could have reluctantly persuaded himself to accept the teachings of heaven.
It was just that merchants from Yanzhou and Yuzhou brought news of a good harvest in the east county of Yanzhou and that Fang Guangda had broken the Yellow Turban. Fang Guangda and Fang Datong made Liu Bei suddenly unable to find balance in his heart.
Today, the news that Jian Yong brought Hao Meng from Xiapi had received Xiaopei gold ingots and was at odds with Lu Bu. The increasingly serious news made Liu Bei feel better.
There are three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang. As long as the second brother is by Liu Bei's side, he is too lazy to use his brain in everything. His style of dealing with things has always been that the elder brother talks and I kill others.
Now, it's completely different. Diao Chan and Red Rabbit Horse are involved, both of which are the things that the second brother likes. Guan Yunchang is particularly enthusiastic about the Huo Bing Bingzhou lineage.
Today, after listening to Jian Yong's words, Guan Yu immediately weighed the pros and cons of this situation.
"Brother, the Bingzhou Army is an elite force that has fought many battles. In my eyes, all the other troops are just chickens and dogs. Only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun should not be underestimated!"
"I think if we want to make things happen, it's best to let Hao Meng think of ways to get rid of these two people before we can make things happen!"
"Yes, second brother is right. These two people are the nine-headed lions and the golden-winged roc among demons. If we want to achieve something, we cannot forcefully fight."
Guan Yu was worried about important things, which was different from usual.
Zhang Fei was even more arrogant. Uncharacteristically, when Liu Bei saw his third brother, he was holding a book in his hand and shaking his head as he looked at it. His mind was not focused on the major event of igniting Lu Bu, and he was already angry.
Looking carefully, the third brother, who has never read or studied literature, has the three characters "Journey to the West" on the cover of the book in his hand, which is particularly eye-catching!
The novel "Tongdongjun on Bamboo Paper" is popular in Jiuzhou, and Xuzhou is naturally not immune to it.
Liu Bei treated everything that Fang Guang did with an attitude of disdain, disdain, and disdain.
Today, while the third brother was discussing important matters, he read the nonsense written by the little yellow turban thief, which made Xuande's recent frustration suddenly find its breaking point.
"Third brother, what are you looking at? Who is Fang Guang? The world doesn't know, and he was deceived by him. Don't you and I, brothers, still know?"
"These monsters and gods are all nonsense. Dongjun's documents have no effect in educating the world. If you want to read, you should learn from me and read more of the Four Books and Five Classics!"
"Give me the book, and you are not allowed to read it again!"
Liu Bei, like a school teacher, walked up to his third brother in a few steps, grabbed the Journey to the West that had been circulated to Xuzhou, and tore it into pieces with a few blows.
"Brother, this is the time to enjoy reading. Little thief Fang Guang, writing nonsense is still interesting!"
"Uh, no, my eldest brother is good at tearing it apart. If anyone uses Yangdong County's technique in front of my three brothers in the future, I, Zhang Fei, will be the first to go up and beat him!"
Yan people have a bad temper, but they are unconditionally submissive in front of their two brothers.
Liu Bei glared at him again and wanted to discuss with his two younger brothers how to transfer Zhang Liao and Gao Shun from outside Xiapi City. Suddenly, outside the door, a primary school student strode to the door of the house.
"My lord, a sergeant has come from Xiapi, saying that he is discussing military rations. He wants to see my lord now!"
"No, no, no, I have to keep my mouth shut even though I have hundreds of grains and fodder. I have to provide grain and grass once every three days. What's so good about this? He Fengxian said that he is the governor of Xuzhou and he can just give the order without any discussion!"
Liu Bei's tone was bitter. The method he used to control Bingzhou's army and horses was now used by Chen Gong. He pinched Xiaopei's army rations and made Big Ear feel as sick as eating flies.
It was rare for Xuande to lose his temper. His subordinates suddenly looked frightened and wanted to leave, but gritted their teeth and continued to speak.
"My lord, this person said that he and Lord Jian are good friends, and the friendship between the two golden carps must be met no matter what!"
"What? Are you friends with me?"
"Two golden carps, right?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Jian Yong's eyes. He and Liu Bei looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.
"Quickly, invite this person here quickly!"
"Also, seal the Xiaopei city gate. Anyone who opens the city gate without my command will be killed!"
Liu Bei instantly became agitated. His instinct as a professional Jiuzhou street slut and leader of the wandering army made him smell the smell of blood from the mouth of the small school.
The principal agreed and flew away. Within a moment, a big man was led to Liu Bei.
Xuande took a quick look and saw that the person in front of him slowly lifted his hood. Who could it be if it wasn't Hao Meng?
The fierce general of Bingzhou looked like a frightened child at this time, his body trembling slightly, and his face showed an unnatural blush due to excitement and fear.
"Mr. Xuande, save me, save me!"
"Lu Fengxian is cruel. He found out that I was interacting with people under the duke's command and wanted to raise troops to kill me!"
Hao Meng ignored the incident because of Diao Chan's loss of composure, ran to Liu Bei in a few steps, hugged the former master's thigh, and burst into tears.
The tears instantly wet all the edges of Liu Bei's robe.
When Liu Bei saw the man in front of him, his tears were not much less than his own, and he immediately felt a sense of confidant. He controlled his facial expression with compassion, helped Hao Meng up, and pulled him to the seat where he had just been sitting.
"Boom!"
As Hao Meng sat down, Xia Lei's voice could be heard on the land of Xuzhou.
In the mansion, the four people discussed for a full two hours, until the night fell, and then they dispersed.
Liu Bei, who watched Hao Meng leave, looked calm when he returned to the house, but the aura in his body no longer looked decadent, but contained a strong hidden murderous intent.
In front of him, Guan Yu's eyes flashed, and because of the uncontrollable excitement, his red face changed from light red to maroon.
Zhang Fei rubbed his hands together and bit his lower lip. His eyes became rounder and rounder, with a hint of turbid murderous intent in his eyes.
