As soon as he heard that Liu Biao asked him to lead his troops to pacify the southern part of Jingzhou, Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Liu Biao's implication by this is that he is not going to pay for his military power?

Although Liu Bei is also sincere to Liu Biao, as long as he is a person, he wants to go to a high place, although Liu Bei is now named General Zuo, but what he commands is only a small number of soldiers and horses that he brought from the north, except for Bai Ma Yicong and Chen Zhi The pro-guard army trained for him is extremely strong, and the rest of the soldiers are not very strong.

Therefore, he was very desperate to have a strong army that could obey his command.

It's a pity that none of his wishes came true.

Now Liu Biao's willingness to realize his wish is naturally much beyond Liu Bei's expectations.

At that moment, I saw Liu Bei stand up and want to thank Liu Biao.

However, the moment Liu Bei stood up, he calmed down in his heart, but at the same time hesitated.

Could Liu Biao's move be a test of his ambitions?

After all, there is a strong enemy in Jiangnan outside, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng are opposed to him inside, and Liu Biao is also a thoughtful person, in this case, he should be even more suspicious, how can he trust himself and hand over the military power to himself?

It's really weird.

However, if he rejected Liu Biao's invitation, in case he wasn't testing himself, wouldn't this opportunity come down out of thin air be lost in vain?

A seemingly difficult thing to choose, Liu Bei was mentally prepared in an instant.

But I saw that he was still the usual understatement, wantless and pleading appearance.

Liu Bei arched his hand at Liu Biao and said: "Brother values his brother so much, he is very grateful, how can he be a person who is only shallow in learning, vulgar and unfamiliar with martial arts, and he is really not very proficient in the matter of commanding the army, and I ask Brother Jingsheng to forgive me, such a heavy task cannot be deserved." ”

Liu Biao smiled when he heard this: "How can the virtuous brother be so humble? ”

"It's not too modest, it's actually a name for self-knowledge, and I'm afraid that this time I'm going to live up to Brother Jingsheng's kindness."

When Liu Biao heard this, he was a little wary of Liu Bei in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly saw him stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xuande, there is one thing that has been held in my heart for a long time, and I don't know whether to tell you or not, but today, the old man feels that it is impossible not to say it...... It's just idle talk between you and me, if the virtuous brother you provoke is not happy, you don't mind. ”

Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao's words changed, so he talked about it elsewhere, and he was even more sure that Liu Biao was testing himself today.

In this way, he is even more afraid to relax about his words and deeds.

He said to Liu Biao: "Brother, why should you be like this, between you and me, what else can't be said?" If there is anything the elder brother wants to say, or what the younger brother is not doing, it is. ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with Brother Xian himself...... In fact, this matter is about Guan Yunchang under your command. ”

Liu Bei's heart suddenly woke up, and he remembered a secret letter Zhang Fei wrote to him before, in which he explained that Guan Yu went to Zhang Ren's camp after Liu Biao was defeated by the potter.

Liu Bei's heart turned over the river and the sea, but Liu Biao said to himself: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, I fought with the pottery thief for my brother before, and the army was defeated...... In fact, in terms of this matter, Yun Chang really has a great merit, but when he wanted to reward Yun Chang for his brother, he ran to the Yizhou army...... Let the old man send someone to his barracks to find it, but he can't even find a figure, hehe, Xuande, you said this is a trouble......"

Before Liu Biao's words could be finished, he saw Liu Bei stand up and make a long gesture at Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was surprised when he saw this: "Xuande, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Bei said solemnly: "The meaning of my brother's words is clear!" But who is Yun Chang? Bei also knows that Yun Chang is a high-minded person, and he has always loved face the most, and he went to the Yizhou military camp at the expense of Zhang Renyao, just for some face-saving things! Yun Chang is a loyal and righteous person, and he will never do anything to betray and collude, and he is willing to guarantee this with his life! ”

Liu Biao thought that he had said this, Liu Bei would definitely pick himself up, but he actually spoke for Guan Yu before he got there, and he thought a little more highly of his character.

Liu Biao comforted softly: "Xuande doesn't have to be like this, and he didn't say anything about Yun Chang for my brother?" Yun Chang is loyal and brave, and he likes his brother very much, how can he be blamed for this little thing! ”

Liu Bei once again made a long gesture and said: "Brother is open-minded, he is really the master of the world, but Yun Chang has never received a military order, so he went to the Yizhou military camp privately, it is indeed a big taboo and should be punished, but Bei is the elder brother of Yun, and my brother makes mistakes, and I am also responsible as the eldest brother......

After saying that, I saw Liu Bei turn around, walk to the shelf in the room, pick up Liu Biao's sword, and pull it out with a "stumbling".

Liu Biao was taken aback when he saw this, he hurriedly jumped up from the bed in fright, and scolded: "Xuande, what do you want to do?" ”

And Liu Biao's door was suddenly pushed open, and several guards hurriedly rushed in and surrounded Liu Bei.

But seeing that Liu Bei did not hesitate, he raised his sword and directly cut off one of his little fingers, and immediately the blood flowed.

Liu Biao and the guards in the room were stunned.

Liu Bei threw the sword on the ground, picked up the little finger on the ground with his right hand, his face turned pale, and he said to Liu Biao tremblingly: "I would like to use this finger to forgive Yun Chang's sins, and ask my brother for permission!" ”

"You ......" Liu Biao's angry speech stammered: "When did I say that I would cure Yunchang's sin?" You—you bastard! The body is skinned, and you are worthy of your ancestors? ”

Liu Bei showed a bleak smile and said, "My ancestor knows that my brother is forgiving my sins, and I guess I won't blame my younger brother." ”

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei fixedly and said, "Brother is really so important to you!" ”

Liu Bei nodded heavily and said, "Naturally." ”

"Okay." Seeing Liu Biaochang sighing, he waved his hand from left to right, and said, "Quickly send Xuande to the doctor, so that the wound can be bandaged...... Xuande, today's matter is the old man's fault, you go back to recuperate from your injuries, and after you recover from your injuries, the old man will have important things to entrust. ”

After those guards helped Liu Bei out, Liu Biao let out a long sigh and said to himself: "Look at this trouble, how did it come to this...... You come out. ”

When I was young, from the inner room behind Liu Biao's bed, a ten-year-old boy walked out, although the boy was young, but his appearance was very ugly, garlic nose, thick lips, squinting eyes, and a lot of acne on his face, I don't know if it was because of puberty.

Liu Biao turned his head to look at him and said, "Do you think Liu Bei is available?" ”

The young man humbly arched his hand and said, "Whether it is the mind or righteousness, it can be used...... The hussar general can use this person as his commander and make him conquer Jingnan, and he wants to make no mistakes. ”
