"Appoint the two of you as Mencao to discuss all matters."

"Yes!"

"I don't know what the lord's plan is!" Jian Yong asked again.

"Accumulate grain, build high walls, and slow down to become king." Liu De slowly said nine words.

"Incisive!"

Jian Yong gave a thumbs up, these nine words really summed up the strategic policy of pacifying the world.

"But Dongyu is only a county seat, although the city is tall and the soldiers are fierce, but after all, the territory is too small, so what?"

Liu De knocked on the table and said: "I am also looking for an opportunity to expand the territory to recruit enough soldiers and horses, but unfortunately there is not enough money and food, and now I can only recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I can't recruit more soldiers, so I am trying to find a way to get some money and food." ”

"Will 20,000 soldiers and horses arouse the suspicion of Yanzhou Mu?"

"I am an important border town, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to arouse suspicion, I hope to raise 50,000 soldiers who can fight in the spring of next year, if the imperial court is still as violent as before, it will definitely cause public anger, and that is the best time for us to expand."

"Jane understands!"

Tonight I held a celebration banquet in my house, just in time to catch the wind for my two brothers.

"Hehe, I just had wine to drink, and my lord is really interesting to my old Jane!"

"You just can't afford to buy wine, so you thought about coming to the lord, on the way I actually exchanged all my money and goods for wine and food, along the way we didn't even have a hot meal in addition to drinking, old Jane, you said you still have to be cheeky?"

Speaking of wine, Tan Zheng, who was originally a little taciturn, had so many complaints, but you can imagine how Jian Yong tortured him on the road.

Liu De also understood, smiled secretly, and said to Tan Zheng: "I said how did you two people with such different personalities get together, it turns out that Lao Jian used you as a long-term meal ticket!" ”

Jian Yong's legs were spread apart, lying on the seat casually, quite informal, waving his hand and saying: "What is a long-term meal ticket, it is obvious that the two of us have a deep brotherhood and are like-minded to find the lord together." ”

"Humph!"

When Tan Zheng heard this, he snorted coldly, and he was about to be blown up by Jian Yong.

......

Liu De took Jian Yong and the others back to their own house, and saw his sister-in-law holding the little butterfly's hand to direct the family Ding to decorate the hall and prepare for the celebration banquet in the evening, Liu De hurriedly came over to ask his sister-in-law for peace, and the little butterfly saw Liu De also running over happily, hugged Liu De, and shouted: "Second uncle!" ”

Liu De picked up the little butterfly and threw it up twice in his arms, making the little butterfly giggle, and his eyes smiled like crescents, "Little butterfly, do you miss the second uncle?" ”

"Yes!"

Only then did my sister-in-law see Liu De coming, and a soft voice reached Liu De's ears: "Uncle is back." ”

Liu De also hurriedly bowed: "Boy, please say hello to my sister-in-law!" ”

"Who are these two?"

The sister-in-law saw Jian Yong and the others.

Liu De introduced: "These two are my friends when I was studying in Liaocheng, I heard that Donghu is coming, I came to help, I now appoint him as Dongyu Men Cao, to participate in all matters." ”

After hearing this, the sister-in-law squatted and was blessed, "Concubine Liu Qian visited the two gentlemen, thank you for coming to help in times of crisis." ”

Jian Yong and the others hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and excused themselves: "Mrs. should not be called so." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll take the two of you down first."

"Go ahead! I led Jia'er to continue to decorate the main hall. The sister-in-law took the little butterfly from Liu De's arms, and made the little butterfly unhappy for a while.

"Where's Xi'er?" Liu De asked.

"Xi'er is preparing wine and food in the kitchen, or I'll send someone to call it." The sister-in-law replied.

Liu De waved his hand, "No, go and ask the little guy to prepare some wine and food and send them to my house, I want to have a chat with the two brothers, and when the celebration banquet begins, I can send someone to call me." ”

"Okay, I know, then you must not drink too much, after all, you have to accompany the generals at night!"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, you can just prepare a small pot of wine."

"Okay."

......

Dinner starts in the evening.

Liu De introduced the generals and Jian Yong to each other, and then directly ordered the banquet to begin, because of Liu Shang's death, although the celebration banquet was carried out normally, but did not summon the music girl to come to sing and dance, at the beginning Liu De took the lead in worshiping the old lord Liu Shang, and the generals were sad, and the soldiers covered their faces and wept softly. Even Jian Yong, who had just come to Dongyu, could feel the sadness of the soldiers, and Jian Yong secretly said to Tan Zheng: "The old lord is really popular!" ”

Tan Zheng nodded in agreement.

After Liu De took the lead in drinking a cup, the banquet really entered the climax.

The soldiers gathered in groups of two or three to talk about the world, Jian Yong sat on the seat without a straight line, and Gongsun Qi fought for a long time to drink, both of them drank in a daze, Liu Gui stood up and held the wine jar to compare his strength with Guan Yu, a group of people applauded loudly there, from time to time someone raised a bronze to respect Liu De a wine, Liu De was also a statue and a statue of the soldiers who came over to drink, quite happy.

In the middle of the sound, Liu Deyao raised the bronze statue and said to Zhang Tianlang: "How are the preparations for the conscription?" ”

Zhang Tianlang drank all the wine in one gulp, "Everything has been prepared, all of them are prepared according to the lord's plan, and many people have come to inquire, and the personnel can be filled in a few days." ”

Liu De nodded, played with the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Stop recruiting in five days, and select the recruited soldiers according to the method I gave you, don't be afraid of cumbersome, since we can only recruit 20,000 soldiers, then we must choose them to be strong and strong, and it is better to have a shortage than an abundance." ”

"Understood!"

"Are the soldiers ready for the wine and meat?"

"Rest assured, my lord, everything is ready."

"Don't drink if you change your guard, and get more meat, after all, it's not very stable now."

"Honorable Order!"

Liu De asked Chen Qi, who was sitting below, "I don't know how Grandpa Chen's health is." ”

"Lord, my grandfather's health is much better than a few days ago, but the doctor said that he still needs to recuperate. When he heard about the great victory of our army, my grandfather was about to jump out of bed. ”

"Haha! That's great. Liu De was also quite happy to hear this.

"Indeed, anyone who hears this news will jump up with joy, and tomorrow, I will go to your house to visit Grandpa Chen."

Chen Qi nodded and added, "And Ying'er, Ying'er has also been thinking about you a lot these days. ”

"Uh-huh, indeed, it's been a bit busy these days, you should go and check it out..."

Liu De lowered his head and drank, I don't know what kind of person his little daughter-in-law is, in the original owner's heart is full of words such as gentleness, generosity, kindness, cuteness, etc., it seems that she is a good girl, Liu De said secretly in his heart.

Drunk and drunk, Chen Qi even danced a sword dance in the hall with a sword, winning the applause of the generals, Liu De also nodded secretly, and when he conducted ability research or drew the ability value, all the others except himself as long as they were suitable were given priority to Chen Qi, after all, he was his future uncle, loyal and reliable...

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the soldiers gradually dispersed, and Liu De was carried back to the bedroom, he really drank too much...
