Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Crowd of Eaters of White Food
If you give it to the official, then you have to do things. No matter how big an official is, he must do as much as he wants.
Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly remembered that when he set out for Luoyang at that time, he also gave Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu the three brothers a task.
In order to boost the ambition of the generals, Cheng Yuanzhi was lucky and shouted:
"Do you want the official position given by this assassin history? If you want to thank you, every New Year's holiday, how much money should be sent to the Assassin's Mansion, you must count it on time and in full, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, be careful of your official position, this assassin history will be handed off to you. ”
"It's no better, this thorn can still be sold for some money. Tomorrow, I will go to the county town to post a poster, to learn from Luoyang, and start selling officials to collect money. The prosperity of Luoyang is not unreasonable. You just don't learn these advanced experiences, and you don't need them when you learn them. ”
Liu Bei didn't expect that the official position he got from Cheng Yuanzhi would also have to be paid on time, which was even darker than going to Luoyang to buy an official. But Liu Bei didn't dare not agree, hesitated for a moment, let alone seal the official, he was afraid that he would be whipped, so he quickly bowed down and thanked:
"Thank you. The last general will thank the assassin for the second brother and the third brother, and we will be loyal to our duties and make great contributions to the assassin history. "Anyway, what kind of general is it, promise to come down first, at least there will be a fortune. At most, when the time comes, just take the original number of Yulu and return it to Cheng Yuanzhi.
That's the right attitude.
Cheng Yuanzhi nodded, began to inspect his political achievements, enjoyed the treatment of the son of heaven, regarded the lamb leg bone that had just been gnawed as the jade seal of the country, picked it up and smashed it on the table, and shouted:
"Good! Ben Tingshi also asked you three generals, what did Ben Tingshi ask you to do before he went to Luoyang? Have you ever done it? Say, say it quickly. In the end, did the people of this assassination history have enough to eat? Are there 50,000 elite soldiers in the city, ready to go? ”
"Hmph, if not, bold, what are you guilty of? If you don't give Ben Thorn History an explanation today, don't blame Ben Thorn Shi for beheading you. Wenjiu beheaded the official, haha, this history of thorns will definitely be recorded in history and passed down through the ages. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi is not joking, if Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei occupy the pit and have no results, then Cheng Yuanzhi will not mind being replaced. The people in the city, that is, Cheng Yuanzhi's army, are far more important than the official position of assassin given by the edict.
This kind of reversal, Liu Bei's heart is like eating a yellow lotus, so bitter that his bile is yellow, Cheng Yuanzhi really came as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought that Cheng Yuanzhi was just talking, but he didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to be more serious, ridiculous.
Don't say it's Guangyang County, even if it's the core of the county town of Youzhou, Zhuo County doesn't have so many soldiers and horses, 50,000 elite soldiers, and it's troublesome.
As for letting the people have enough to eat, it is even more nonsense, if there is food, there will be food, and the grain and grass in the city will not be enough for even ten days, so how can the people in the city let go of their stomachs and eat until they are full.
It's a pity that Cheng Yuanzhi only cares about giving orders, but no matter how Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei achieved it, there is quite a needle at the top and a thousand threads at the bottom, even if it is a noodle thread wrapped in a pot, it doesn't matter.
was about to be killed at every turn, Liu Bei frowned, had a bitter face, and had to shout:
"Assassin History, the three brothers of the last general, since the Assassin Shi left, he has done his duty, he didn't dare to sleep more day and night, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and he trained soldiers and horses. However, the people who want the assassin Shi to eat 50,000 elite soldiers, the last general and so on really can't do it, there is no food and grass, there is no young and strong, where can you get these? I also ask for forgiveness from the assassin history, forgive some time, and let the last general and others make meritorious contributions and make up for their mistakes. ”
If you are beaten, you must stand upright.
Since Cheng Yuanzhi had orders before, he couldn't do it, and it was indeed wrong. With an official position comes a responsibility. Now no matter how much he shirks, he has become a villain.
When Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"This Liu Bei, the pattern is too small. It's no wonder that the business of selling straw sandals is not big, it can't make a fortune, and its thinking is too solid. If you don't have food, you can buy it, if you don't have anyone, you will pull it, and if you don't have money, you will borrow it. Just staring at the things at hand, you can't do anything, can you still manage the flowers? ”
It's his own subordinate, Cheng Yuanzhi feels that he should worry about pointing, but he still has to educate him, so he picked up the wine glass and smashed it on Liu Bei's head, and said angrily:
"Without food and grass, will you let the people of this thorn go hungry? If you don't have young people, you can't train soldiers? This thorn Shi stepped on the horse to have grain and grass, and there were young and strong, what else do you Liu Guanzhang do? ”
"I'm afraid you've forgotten how Ben Thorn Shi led an army of 50,000 to crush it unilaterally? If you can do it, you can't? Cultivating you is really a waste of the food of this thorn history, a group of things that eat white food, not things. ”
Liu Bei didn't dare to talk back, especially when he heard that Cheng Yuanzhi boasted of the battle of Daxingshan, and the 50,000 Yellow Turban troops led by him were all elite soldiers and strong generals, Liu Bei had nothing to complain about.
In this way, let alone 50,000 elite soldiers, the people of the entire Guangyang County, large and small, are more than 50,000 people, and under Liu Bei's strong internal political ability, they are now almost more than 100,000 people.
Completed the task in full.
Of course, when you have a full meal, you think. Liu Bei also had to persuade Zhang Fei to eat a little more from time to time, and not to make the barracks poor. When there is no food, the soldiers are going to bomb the battalion.
Liu Bei was trained like a student listening to a class, leaning over and bowing his hand, not daring to raise his head.
Guan Yu didn't bother to refute Cheng Yuanzhi, saying that no matter how much it was, it was the bull's head that was not in the horse's mouth, so he simply closed his eyes.
And Zhang Fei only cared about the cow and drank unconscious. Deng Mao was next to Zhang Fei, burying his head, and the chicken pecked at the leg of mutton.
Come on, there is only Liu Bei who can be made, and he can also teach according to his aptitude, Cheng Yuanzhi decided to show Liu Bei a clear way, and said loudly:
"Xuande, you're just too conservative and not open enough. The whole Youzhou is the history of the thorn, those people live on the territory of the history of the thorn, if they can't even get food, can they read the history of the thorn? Youzhou is so big, if you can't even get together 50,000 elite soldiers, wouldn't it be the name of this assassin's history, how can this assassin's history be famous all over the world and shocking all directions? ”
"Okay, seeing that you are still sincere, this assassin will teach you compassion. You remember, for every man who gains weight, there is a woman behind him who silently nourishes his stomach. I have no money and food, and I have nothing to eat, so I will ask my wife for it. It's not shameful, what's so shameful, at most it's an application. In the future, you can rest assured that you will be an official, and you really owe food and money, so you will go to the wife of this assassin to apply. She is a woman, a weak woman, and the money and food in the family are ten million times more than that of a big man. ”
