In the grass house, Wang Can and Shi A sat opposite each other.

Wang Can smiled and asked, "Shi, how is Zhuge Liang's situation recently, I haven't heard you say it for a long time." ”

Shi A frowned slightly, and said, "Lord, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to recruit Zhuge Liang this time." The people who monitored Zhuge Liang found that Liu Bei's adviser Sun Qian often went in and out of Zhuge Liang's grass house, and the relationship seemed to be very close. It is estimated that Zhuge Liang has defected to Liu Bei. ”

"What?"

Wang Can was shocked in his heart, his body stiffened, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, revealing a stunned expression.

He looked at Shi A and asked, "Sun Qian is close to Zhuge Liang, why didn't he tell me?" ”

Wang Can originally thought that Liu Bei was stationed on the front line and was resisting the Shu army, which would not affect his visit to Zhuge Liang, so his plan was to deal with the business of Xiangyang first and then visit Zhuge Liang. But Wang Can didn't expect Liu Beiren to lead the troops on the front line, but he sent a Sun Gan to move around and dig Zhuge Liang out.

Even, even the people who monitored Zhuge Liang did not find that Liu Bei had arrived in the grassland.

Because it was not all-weather monitoring, Liu Bei came quietly.

Shi A looked bitter and said: "Lord, I asked you before the humble post if you wanted to visit Zhuge Liang earlier, and you said that you would do the business of Xiangyang first, and then visit Zhuge Liang after dealing with the Jingxiang clan, so there is no retribution for the humble position." ”

"You...... Alas, forget it! ”

Wang Can stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi A, and finally sighed.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

Immediately, Wang Can ordered in a deep voice: "Notify Wu Huang immediately, let someone be sent to investigate the situation of Sun Qian and Zhuge Liang, and determine whether Zhuge Liang has taken refuge in Liu Bei, hurry up, be quick!" ”

At this time, Wang Can had already made a killing move.

If the situation is really confirmed, it can only be removed by hot hands.

"No!"

Shi Ah nodded in response, and then turned around and left the cottage.

In fact, in Shi A's heart, he didn't take Zhuge Liang in his heart, and he didn't care much about it. Because Shi Ah didn't understand why Wang Can attached so much importance to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, two fledgling fledglings, what was there to pay attention to. Moreover, Shi Ah thought in his heart that with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other cadres, Zhuge Liang was simply insignificant.

Shi Ah thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Wang Can has an order, and he can only execute it immediately.

……

In the palace of the king of Chu, Liu Biao was washing the dust for Du Xi.

When he sent someone to Jiangdong for help, Du Ximao recommended himself, which made Liu Biao very moved. The more dangerous it is, the more he can see the hearts of the people, and he already plans to reuse Du Raid in his heart, appoint Du Raid as a county commander, and let Du Raid govern the party.

In the palace, Liu Biao smiled and asked: "Zixu (Du Xianzi), you tell me about the situation of Jiangdong." ”

Du Xun was overjoyed when he saw Liu Biao's attitude towards him drastically changed.

Mao Sui recommended himself, and it seems to have worked.

Du Xi immediately told what he had seen and heard about his trip to Jiangdong, and then focused on the issue of food. The grain given by Liu Biao was 300,000 stones, but Du Raid only used 200,000 stones of grain to move Sun Jian, which was obviously Du Raid's credit.

After Liu Biao heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, what a good Du Zixu." I didn't expect you to be so good at being flexible, and you actually turned 300,000 stone grain into 100,000 stone, which is smart enough. Your words have saved 100,000 stone of grain, which is really a great achievement. Come, I salute you! ”

As he spoke, Liu Biao picked up the wine bottle and toasted Du Xi with a bottle of wine.

After Du Xi picked up the wine bottle and drank it, he said humbly: "Thanks to the prestige of the king, otherwise the attack would not have succeeded." ”

After Liu Biao heard this, he was even more happy.

This person, he knows how to advance and retreat, he knows the general situation, very good, very good!

Kuai Yue arched his hand and said: "Lord, this is the time to employ people, Du Zixu has become decisive, without losing the prestige of my Chu country, such a person can be of great use." ”

When Du Xun heard this, he glanced at Kuai Yue gratefully.

Cai Mao opened her mouth to speak, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it.

He originally wanted to say that Du Raid was a person from the Central Plains, such a person was unreliable and might defect to the enemy, but now that Jingzhou was in a critical situation and needed more talents to fill it, Du Raid did not speak.

Liu Biao hummed and said, "The difference is reasonable, and Gu Zheng has this intention. ”

Du Xi heard Liu Biao's promise in public, and his heart finally landed.

Although Liu Biao gave him a settling-in allowance, so that the people of the Du family could settle down in Xiangyang, but if he did not become an official, it would be impossible for the Du family to settle down, and the Du family had no source of income. As the saying goes, only when you have power can you have money, and only when Du Xi becomes an official can the Du family take root in Jingzhou.

Du Zhen came to Jingzhou for nearly a month, but he has not received any news, and the elders of the family have complained.

Now, it's finally time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Report!!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall.

A soldier hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground with a thud, and reported: "King Qiyu, Lord Liu Xin, the envoy to Wei, has returned and is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Xuan! ”

The person who went to Cao Cao for help came back, and Liu Biao's heart could relax. Both Cao Cao's and Sun Jian's soldiers and horses began to assemble and dispatch, and as long as Sun Jian and Cao Cao's armies were dispatched, he would be able to resist the Shu army.

For a while, the depression in Liu Biao's heart was swept away, and he was very excited.

After a while, Liu Xin hurriedly walked into the main hall and bowed his hand and said, "Minister Liu Xin, meet the lord." ”

Liu Biao asked with a smile: "Liu Qing, is the trip to Wei going well?" ”

Liu Xin replied, "It's going well." ”

Kuai Liang observed the words and found that Liu Xin's expression was a little wrong, and sneered again and again in his heart. At the beginning, he strongly opposed Liu Xin's envoy to Wei, but Liu Biao insisted, Kuai Liang was helpless, after all, Liu Xin was Liu Biao's relative. But now it seems that I am afraid that 300,000 stone grains will not be able to satisfy Cao Cao at all, so this situation will occur.

Liu Xin, it's hard to make a big deal!

Kuai's conscience is funny, and it is still useless to do it.

Liu Biao asked, "Liu Qing, what is the result?" ”

Liu Xin replied honestly: "My lord, Cao Cao said that he would be willing to send troops to help if he wanted 500,000 stone grain, and after some bargaining, he finally determined 400,000 stone of grain, and reached an agreement. ”

"Four hundred thousand stones?"

Liu Biao's mouth opened wide, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

He stared at Liu Xin, his breathing becoming rapid.

The civil and military ministers in the main hall all opened their eyes wide, and looked at Liu Xin in horror, this guy is too loser.

400,000 stone of grain, is it really true that the people of Jingxiang are specialized in producing grain?

Suddenly, the civil and military officials in the hall whispered, some shook their heads and sighed, and some sneered again and again, but without exception, they all looked at Liu Xin with disdain, feeling that Liu Xin was a complete fool. On the other hand, Du Xian only used 200,000 stone of grain to solve the problem.

Compared with the two, it is simply a heaven and an earth.

"Idiot!"

Liu Biao suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand and picked up the wine bottle and smashed it at Liu Xin.

Seeing the wine bottle smashing over, Liu Xin was unwilling to dodge.

"Bang!"

The wine bottle smashed on Liu Xin's shoulder, spilling the wine.

Liu Xin looked at Liu Biao, who was in a rage, and felt very wronged. He sent an envoy to the Wei State, and finally completed the task, and he was humiliated in the Wei State and was humiliated by Cao Cao. Now when I came back to report the news, I was scolded by Liu Biao again, and I felt very uncomfortable, and immediately asked: "Lord, I used an extra 100,000 stone of grain for my humble position, but I also completed the task, why are I so angry?" ”

Liu Biao was so angry that he snorted, and his face was red and his ears were swollen.

Why did he choose a wreck?

Shame is not only the shame of the Liu family, but also the shame of the Chu State. Liu Biao was angry, and when he heard that Liu Xin dared to ask, he was even more angry, and he couldn't wait to raise his sword and cut this guy.
