After leaving the meeting hall, Chen Meng did not return directly to his residence, but came to a street in Pingyuan City.
It was not too late at this time, and there were still some pedestrians on the street.
"Brother, we have to work harder tomorrow and try to make fifty more arrows."
"Yeah! Two hundred arrows are needed in four days. Let's make fifty arrows in one day. That's enough."
There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the two people spoke loudly. Chen Meng could hear their conversation clearly.
When Chen Mengang heard this, he didn't pay much attention. However, when he thought about it, he suddenly felt strange.
Who would be so anxious to get so many arrows at this time? Could it be that Big Brother and the others asked these two people to do it?
After seeing the two people passing by him, Chen Meng turned around and called out to them.
"Two warriors, I just overheard that you know how to make arrows? I wonder if this is serious?" Chen Meng asked.
The two looked at Chen Meng, no doubt that he was there, and one of them asked:
"What do you want the arrow for?"
When Chen Meng heard this, he realized that although the two men did not answer his question directly, they must know how to forge arrows and would not be able to escape.
Chen Meng smiled and said:
"I am from a hunting family. There is no food at home recently, so I wanted to go to a distant place to hunt some wild animals in exchange for some food. So I went to the city today to find someone to make some arrows for self-defense."
"It's true that we two brothers can make arrows, but we can't do it these days."
When Chen Meng heard this, he thought it was interesting and he should be able to ask what he wanted.
"Why can't it happen in the next few days? I can pay a lot of money to the two warriors." Chen Meng asked pretending to be anxious.
"Early this morning, someone came to our shop and asked us to make two hundred arrows in four days. We don't have time to make arrows for you these days." The man who was called the elder brother said.
During this period, it was very difficult to make arrows. A craftsman could only make about twenty arrows a day at most, but these two people were very sincere.
"Two strong men, please help! I am in urgent need of arrows to hunt wild beasts. My wife and children are still waiting for me to find food for dinner!" Chen Meng pretended to be very anxious, and he admired himself in his heart.
.
"Why are you like this? We all said that we have two hundred arrows to be made in the next few days. We don't have time to make them for you. If you want to make arrows, come back in three days!"
"Who needs so many arrows? Is it the government? Isn't this costing my life and fortune!"
Chen Meng said that he almost cried in the end. Chen Meng believes that his performance at this time will not necessarily be worse than those of first-line stars in future generations.
"You man, why are you like this? The people who asked us to make arrows were not the people in the government, but the people in the city..."
Just when this man was about to tell who asked them to make arrows, he was unexpectedly stopped by another man.
"My strong man, it's getting late today. If you want to make arrows, please come back in three days! Our place is easy to find. You can find us in the blacksmith shop in the north of the city."
After the man finished speaking, he immediately took the other man and left.
Although the two people did not know who asked them to make the arrows, at least Chen Meng now knew that these arrows were not made by the government.
When Chen Meng just learned that the rebels were going to attack Pingyuan City, he felt that something was abnormal. Now that he learned that someone in Pingyuan City wanted to make so many arrows, he felt even more doubtful.
Is there someone in the city who wants to rebel?
Chen Meng couldn't help but break out in cold sweat when he thought of this possibility. He hurried back to Liu Bei's residence and told Liu Bei about the matter.
When Liu Bei heard this, he was also shocked.
"Fourth brother, are there really rebels in the city?"
"When I learned that thousands of rebels outside the city were about to attack Pingyuan City, I felt that this was a bit abnormal. Brother, think about it, these rebels usually don't even have decent weapons, and many of them are armed with hoes.
, the sickle went on the battlefield, how could they have siege equipment!
If the rebels have no siege equipment and want to attack Pingyuan City, wouldn't that mean they are going to die?"
After Liu Bei heard this, he was slightly startled and said:
"Zilong, didn't Guorang and Guorang say that the rebels are building a long ladder these days?"
"Brother, do you think we can attack this plain city with only dozens or hundreds of long ladders?" Chen Meng asked back.
Liu Bei thought for a while and then said: "I'm afraid it can't be done."
After Chen Meng heard this, he felt relieved. His eldest brother still knew how to fight.
In history, Liu Bei's fighting skills were actually pretty good. The burning of Bowang Slope was Liu Bei's masterpiece.
But Liu Bei cannot fight against Cao Cao. He cannot defeat Cao Cao. It is as if he is naturally restrained by Cao Cao. Liu Bei is not afraid of the generals under Cao Cao.
It may also be because Liu Bei didn't command many troops in the early battles. Liu Bei couldn't command too many troops. Once he commanded more troops, he would easily lose control.
"From my point of view, if the rebels attack Pingyuan City, there must be an internal response in Pingyuan City." Chen Meng said firmly.
"In this case, why don't we send people to arrest the two craftsmen who made the arrows now and ask them, maybe we will know who asked them to make the arrows. The person who made the arrows at this time must be
They are rebels." Liu Bei said.
It makes sense for Liu Bei to think so. If he arrests these two craftsmen, he can indeed know who asked them to make the arrows, but the effect is not good.
"Brother, as soon as we arrived in Pingyuan County, someone tried to do harm to us. It seems that our arrival has harmed some people." Chen Meng said.
Liu Bei thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"Is it the Wang family?"
Chen Meng was not sure whether it was specifically the Wang family. But Chen Meng knew that although this was a big crisis, it was also a good opportunity, an opportunity to catch all the people with different intentions in Pingyuan City.
"Brother, we have just arrived in Pingyuan County. There must be many people in Pingyuan County who are against us. Why don't we take this opportunity to kill all these people?"
When Liu Bei heard this, his face lit up and he suddenly became interested.
"Fourth brother, how do you say this?"
"Now that some people in Pingyuan City have begun to prepare arrows, they must have planned it. If we are to alert the enemy now, we may not be able to catch all these people in one fell swoop.
We need to act like we don't know anything these days as usual. We need to make these people feel that their plan is foolproof, so that by then all these people will be out to take us down.
At that time, we can capture all these people and punish them for treason. In this way, we will be able to establish a very strong prestige in Pingyuan County, so that those powerful families will not dare to have other ideas."
After Chen Meng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei thought for a while and then said:
"Okay. Just do as the fourth brother said. Tomorrow we will call Yun Chang, Yide and others here to discuss it carefully." This chapter has been completed!
