With a long queue, neighing horses, and rumbling cars, Liu Deran took five hundred soldiers and military laborers to escort the cart of supplies to Liu Bei's military camp.

After a few more armies are about to arrive at Xiapi City, they should have arrived a long time ago, but on the way back to the army, they were covered by Yuan Shu, Liu Bei led the army to run around, changing multiple routes, so the road was delayed a little.

"General, there is still an hour or so to keep up with the large army, the lord just came with the news, he will wait there for us to arrive before starting the journey, and then the number of people escorting grain and grass will continue to increase, and the main force and grain and grass will leave together!" The adjutant rode a horse and followed behind Liu Deran.

"There are only about 2,000 people in total, it's okay to walk together, it's safer to walk together!" Liu Deran looked back at the grain team and shouted loudly: "Everyone work hard, it will be here in another hour, and then you can rest!" He shouted in a frustrated voice.

"The guy surnamed Mi is also too rich, he has already given us some before, and this time it is a lot of things!" The adjutant looked at the long queue and muttered, "Where did the money come from?"

"What, envy that people are rich?" Liu Deran rode his horse and turned his head to look at the adjutant.

"Eh~ General, you can hear this!" The adjutant straightened his waist in shock, and said embarrassedly: "I'll just say it casually!" ”

"Hehe, you're too loud, I don't want to hear it, where does this money come from, I don't know this, if I knew, where would I be as poor as I am now?"

"How can the general's worth be measured by money, general, you have status, as the saying goes, if you become an official, you will be rich, and if you are rich, you may not be able to become an official!"

"Hehe, who taught you this?" Liu Deran asked in surprise, he was deeply influenced by Lu Zhi when he was young, and he has always been honest and honest, although Liu Bei put him in charge of logistics work, the oil and water in it can be so fertile that it can no longer be fertile, you can take out a tenth of the materials in a car, and there will be no one, because the food will be consumed on the way, and in the state and county, he has always been responsible for the work of Tuntian, Tuntian's cattle, hoes, and funds allocated above, this is all silver for nothing, just take this cow, You were supposed to spend a hundred dollars to buy a young cow, but you can also buy an old cow for fifty dollars, so if a person is greedy, he can put the extra fifty dollars into his own bag, and this is the personal income of a politician.

"General, you don't need to teach this, you can hear it and see it!" The adjutant continued: "There used to be a wealthy family in our hometown, the family was rich and powerful, and the power was so great that even the local government did not dare to move, and then the township spread by word of mouth that the wealthy family had people in the capital, so these local officials did not dare to care about him, and they were afraid of losing the black gauze hat on their heads, but this wealthy family was also interested in taking the initiative to show goodwill with local officials, and this official was naturally very happy. As long as the wealthy family spends some money, there is nothing to do, and it is covered by officials! ”

"This kind of atmosphere has existed since ancient times!" Liu Deran said with emotion.

"Will you be like this with the people of your family!" The adjutant asked wistfully.

Liu Deran was stunned, his face tightened, and he said, "What do you mean?" ”

The adjutant immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately explained: "General, I just said casually and felt it, and I didn't mean anything else!" Although he had not exercised vigorously, the adjutant gasped.

"What are you panicking about, I'm just asking, I heard that the eldest brother has recently taken a concubine, it's Mi Zhu's sister Mi Mo!" Liu Deran rode his horse, looked ahead, and frowned on his own.

"Yes! Because Mrs. Gan's life and death are uncertain now, in order to reinvigorate the lord, Mi Zhu put Mi ...... Mrs. Mi is married to the lord! ”

"Gan'er and Tian'er's life and death are uncertain, Mi Zhu is actually doing these things here, Gan'er is someone we have known since childhood, if it wasn't for her grandfather, my eldest brother and I would have been spending time in Zhuo County, where did I get the opportunity to worship Lu Zhi as a teacher, and where did I have the opportunity to go to the capital to see the world!" Liu Deran couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Well, the general's!" The adjutant didn't want to say anything more.

"Maybe that's fate!" Liu Deran said: "This is a process that everyone must go through, who made Mi Mo look so much like a senior sister!" ”

"Has Gongyou set off?" Liu Bei, Mi Zhu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat in the camp tent, Liu Bei decided to let Sun Qian go to Xiapi to negotiate with Lu Bu first, and explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, I believe that Lu Bu will not refuse, even if Lu Bu has no brains and does not know the general situation, Chen Gong next to him will also help persuade him.

"I've already gone, hurry up, it's estimated that it's almost there!" Mi Zhu said.

"Will you Yuanlong obstruct it? I'm most worried about Yuanlong right now! Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

"Chen Deng, this old horseman, I am bound to kill him!" As soon as Zhang Fei heard the name Chen Deng, he immediately became angry, "snapped", and slapped the desk next to him, so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Third brother, what about the meeting, scolding and scolding, what kind of table!" Guan Yu said in a reproachful tone.

"When I think of him stabbing me in the back, I feel bad!" Zhang Fei said with a sad face: "If it weren't for him, I would not have lost Xuzhou, and we wouldn't be so embarrassed now, causing everyone to suffer here!" ”

"Third brother, people are not sages, who can do nothing, I realize this mistake in my heart, that is a kind of progress, your temper is like this, you are rushing, you are rushing to everyone, I went back to Youzhou to visit the teacher Lu Zhi, in the mountains, he was to me, life in the world, I have to learn a word!" Liu Bei made a "one" gesture in front of Zhang Fei.

"What word?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Patience!" Liu Bei said firmly: "At that time, I was young, and I didn't know what the use of forbearance was, I always felt that this word forbearance was nothing more than the words of those cowardly people. ”

"And then?" Mi Zhu asked with interest.

"Later, as I grew older, I experienced more things, and when I looked back, I found that the teacher's word 'forbearance' was actually the crystallization of wisdom in dealing with people, I remember that my temper was also very impulsive back then...... "Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei here: "It's no different from Yide, once I was unhappy with the post, I beat him up......"

"Hahaha......" At this point, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu all laughed.

"You haven't forgotten this big brother?" Zhang Fei said.

"How can I forget this, this incident, I will never forget it in my life, at that time, because I couldn't bear it, I couldn't restrain my temper, and as a result, everyone followed me through so many detours, I feel ashamed!" Liu Bei took a sip of tea, and then said: "Thinking about it now, the teacher gave us to do the reasoning, maybe it didn't sound useful at the time, it was vague, but after thinking about it, it was all the essence...... Yide, the word 'forbearance' given to me by my teacher Lu Zhi was given to you by my eldest brother today, can you remember it in the future? ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I Zhang Fei must remember it!" Zhang Fei patted his chest and said.

"I'm afraid you can't talk more than your brain, before we set out on the expedition, you also promised the eldest brother that!" Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was so confident again, so he reminded with a smile.

"Oh, second brother, I won't be in the future, and I won't be killed in the future, the lesson this time is too big, if it weren't for you and the eldest brother to support me, I think our group would be dissolved, I Zhang Fei really knew that it was wrong!"

"It's not like it's scattered, it's just a few more steps to walk!" Mi Zhu said: "Yuan Long is actually not convinced by Lu Bu, so he will not sincerely assist, as a politician, he will definitely not refuse us, because there are many factions, we can check and balance Lu Bu!" ”

"Gotta take care of it!" Liu Guan and Zhang Sanru said.

"Report, Lord Qi, General Deran is back!" The soldiers walked into the tent road.

"Deran is here, it is estimated that the goods are here, my lord, these are the ones that our family has pulled from other places for business, and they can only be used for emergencies, and the number is not much!" Mi Zhu said.

"Sir, you are truly our savior, without you, we would all starve to death!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"It's serious, it's just a few bits of heart, nothing too much!"

"Mr. Zizhong is kind to us, and we will naturally not forget it!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Lord, everyone is a family, don't see each other like this, let's go out and have a look!" Mi Zhu made a gesture of please.

"Okay, let's go out and have a look!" Liu Bei also made a gesture to invite Mi Zhu, and then took them out.

"Take some first, cook for the soldiers, don't get out of the car for the rest, and set off directly later!" Liu Deran commanded these soldiers, the soldiers jumped up and down, unloading bags of grain, and the soldiers in the barracks saw the food coming, and they were all elated, and their faces were full of smiles and came to carry the food.

"Wow, so much, Mr. is so modest, hehe~" Zhang Fei slapped the grain and grass on the car with his hand.

"In this way, our troops can hold out until Xiapi, otherwise without these grains, we will have to flee a large area!" Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched them happily carry the grain.

"There is no food, it's a good thing for them to escape, if there is any mutiny, then I really don't know how to end it, we have food in our hands, these soldiers will listen to our drive, if there is no food, they will bite you in turn!" Mi Zhu said.

"It makes sense, give the order to go down, make a fire and cook, and after two hours, set out for camp!"

"Big brother, these soldiers have been pulling for so long, do you want to let them rest for a while!" Guan Yu said.

"Change a group of people to pull and transport grain, these five hundred people will rest here first, led by Deran, and then let Deran bring it back!"

"Yes, yes!"
