10. Collect Xin and evaluate the construction of water villages
Xin Ping listened to Liu Bei's introduction, smiled awkwardly and stopped talking, at this time Liu Bei said sincerely: "Beisui's position is not high, but after he becomes the king of Zhongshan, he has the responsibility to do his meager help for the Han." However, now there is a lack of talent under his hands, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength! Every time I think about this, I can't help but feel sad. ”
Liu Bei said as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he actually cried. Xin Ping thought about all kinds of scenes when Liu Bei met him, but he didn't think that Liu Bei would cry! Looking at Liu Bei, who was wiping his tears, Xin Ping unconsciously felt a trace of sympathy in his heart. He comforted Liu Bei in every way, and Liu Bei struck while the iron was hot and talked with Xin Ping.
I have to say that Liu Bei's charm and crying skills are simply invincible, although after some conversation, Liu Bei did not say a word of solicitation. But Xin Ping's heart was still loose, and there was an urge to bet all his net worth on him.
At noon, the soldiers prepared a meal, and Liu Bei simply ate with him in the Xin Appraisal Account. Xin Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the meal prepared by the soldier for Liu Bei, and then he pointed to the three dishes in front of him and asked, "So that Jun only eats these on weekdays?" "These three dishes are one plate of cold dishes and two plates of hot dishes, but the hot dishes are one meat and one vegetarian dish is very simple. Serve it with two bowls of rice and two bowls of soup, and you're ready for lunch.
"No, today is to eat with Zhongzhi, and there is only one dish and one soup on weekdays." Liu Bei shook his head with a smile.
Xin Ping went from the initial shock to the slow acceptance, and he couldn't help but admire: "Make Jun really a sage!" Liu Bei smiled and beckoned Xin Ping to start eating, and after lunch, Liu Bei got up to say goodbye, and Xin Ping also got up and sent him out of the tent.
"Zhongzhi stays, I have benefited a lot from talking with Zhongzhi today, and I will come back tomorrow!" Liu Bei parted and took Xin Ping's hand and said.
"If you come, I will sweep the couch accordingly!" Xin Ping had a good impression of Liu Bei at this time, and replied closely. Liu Bei was very happy to hear this, nodded at Xin Ping, and the two said goodbye.
For three days in a row, Liu Bei came to Xin every day to comment on the account, and the two talked happily about ancient and modern current affairs. But he still didn't mention that he wanted to solicit Xin Commentary. At this time, Xin Ping was a little worried, isn't it that Liu Yuanjun can't look down on me? Once planted, the seeds of doubt take root and sprout. Xin Ping is like this, he has long forgotten that three days ago, he was unwilling to join Liu Bei.
On the fourth day, Xin Ping finally couldn't break down, and he took the initiative to ask Liu Bei: "If you have great ambitions, why are you trapped here?" Talk to me all day long. ”
"Why did Nakaji say that? Thou art a man of learning, and thou art a hundred times more knowledgeable than mine, and I greatly admire thee! Why do you want to waste people! Liu Bei replied.
Hearing Liu Bei praise himself for his hard comments that his face looked much better, he took a deep breath and said, "Since the envoy is not a waste person, why don't you recruit me?" Liu Bei was happy when he heard this, and said in his heart: I have long wanted to recruit you.
With a serious expression on his face, Liu Bei stood up and saluted Xin Ping: "Brother Zhongzhi is talented, I hope Brother Zhongzhi will not give up and help me." ”
Xin Ping hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted: "The lord is above, Xin Ping is willing to use his crippled body for the lord to drive!" Liu Bei listened to the great joy, he took Xin Ping's hand and walked out, and at the same time ordered his guards to quickly greet everyone, and there was a big event to announce.
There was not much time, and the Chinese people came to the big tent of the Chinese army. Han Fei's condition had improved at this time, and he also rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army. Liu Bei saw that everyone was coming and said: "Zhongzhi is now under my command, I still appoint Zhongzhi as the Nanpi Taishou, and I hope Zhongzhi will not shirk!" Xin Ping had the intention to refuse, but was stopped by Liu Bei, and finally had to shake his head and accept it.
With the submission of Xin Ping, Liu Bei completely occupied Nanpi City. Correspondingly, he also moved his administrative office to Nanpi City, and the Pingyuan County Order was handed over to Jian Yong. In the army, Sima was handed over to Xin Bi, the younger brother of Xin Ping.
After more than ten days, the Nanpixin clan was completely integrated into Liu Bei's army. With Han Fei's health improving, the next step of the plan is about to be implemented.
Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to take Xin Ping's arrows and take the two counties of Leling and Jieshi. Both counties are located by the sea, especially Jieshi, where the water is gentle, and it is most suitable for the water village and the port.
So not long after taking the two more counties, Han Fei led people to the seaside of Jieshi County, and found a site at the mouth of the Yellow River to build a water village. At the same time, Liu Bei secretly began to recruit troops, constantly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to send troops.
Han Fei is completely half-witted for the water army, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not as good as him. So on this day, Han Fei came to Nanpi to find Liu Bei and said: "Lord, the water village is being established, but now there is a very serious problem, we don't have generals who can fight in water." ”
"Zicong, how is this good?" Liu Bei frowned when he heard Han Fei say it.
"The Xin family originally had three large ships and some sailors and boatmen. At present, they can be requisitioned first, but this is not a long-term solution, and I hope that the lord will plan early. Han Fei couldn't do anything about it, he knew a few names, but most of these people were in the south. As the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it's not realistic to find it now!
Liu Bei nodded and said, "I wrote it down, here I ordered the Shadow to look for talents for water warfare, and you should get it from Zicong in Shuizhai!" ”
"My lord, it's okay!" Although reluctant, Han Fei knew that he was the most suitable for now. After bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Han Fei returned to his home in Nanpi City. There are several subordinates sent by Liu Bei at home, and his father-in-law Father Zhou was served very well, and Han Fei was very satisfied when he saw it. He and his father-in-law hadn't seen each other for many days, and the two had a lot to say, so Han Fei stayed in his father-in-law's house that night, and the two talked all night before falling asleep in the morning.
After resting at home for a day, Han Fei said goodbye to his father-in-law with Gao Ran the next day, and returned to Jieshi Water Village. At this time, there are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year. Looking at the water village that was beginning to take shape, Han Fei said to himself: "After the New Year, Emperor Ling will be about to hang up!" Then there was Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong Zhuo. I'm running out of time! After the New Year, troops must be sent to Liaodong. ”
Just as Han Fei was working hard to build the water village, a strong man walked into Nanpi City with two of his men.
"Big brother, this Nanpi City is very prosperous! Our brother came to snatch him that day! ”
"Shut up! Today we bought all the things first, and by the way, we stepped on some points. While they are slacking off during the New Year, we will do his vote again. Ding Feng scolded in a low voice and walked forward. Two of his men hurriedly followed. This Ding Fengnai is the leader of the largest group of water thieves in the Yellow River Valley.
