Liu Bei listened to Liu Qi's words, and said with a somewhat smug face: "The two of them are just brave husbands, so what is commendable?" Now Yun Chang is guarding Wancheng, and he couldn't come to Deng County, but Yide is holding on to the rear array, and after the virtuous nephew enters the city, he can see him. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face, and then looked at the general who was closely following Liu Bei, and asked loudly: "This silver-armored general, could it be Changshan Zhao Zilonghu?" ”

Liu Bei suddenly sighed lightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew actually knows Zilong? Yes, this is Zilong. ”

When Liu Qi heard that it was really Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but feel envious, Liu Bei didn't say anything else about this guy, but his vision was really vicious, and the talents under his command were really good, it turned out that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and now there is another Zhao Yun, these are all famous generals through the ages, although there are famous generals like Gan Ning, Wei Yan and Tai Shici under his command, but compared to these three, there is obviously still a gap.

If it weren't for the fact that these people were Liu Bei's henchmen, it would be difficult to surrender under normal circumstances, and Liu Qi couldn't help but lead the army to defeat Liu Bei and take the opportunity to seize his generals.

"Now Liu Beiwu is related to Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, and Jian Yong, all of whom are quite talented, if he accepts Zhuge Liang again, it will really be Longfei for nine days.

"Huh? Zhuge Liang? Thinking of this, Liu Qi's face couldn't help but change, and he said secretly: "It's not good, now that Liu Bei occupies Xinye, didn't he really invite Zhuge Liang out?" If this is the case, I am afraid that this Liu Bei will definitely be a great rival in the future. ”

After a slight pause, Liu Qi arched his hand and said: "Qi Su heard that Zhao Zilong is a good general of a generation, with both civil and military skills, wisdom and bravery. ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked Liu Qi for his praise.

Liu Qi praised Zhao Yun with envy, and then suddenly said: "The little nephew received more help from Xuande Gong and led the troops to punish the rebellion, but the little nephew persuaded Xuande Gong to return to Nanyang quickly, not that the little nephew underestimated Xuande Gong, although you have Guan Yunchang, who is both wise and brave, I am afraid you will not be able to guarantee the gateway of Nanyang." ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, and said proudly: "Don't worry about this virtuous nephew, I recently got a new military advisor in Xinye, this person is really a talent from heaven and earth, as long as he is there, he can definitely guarantee that Wancheng will not be lost in a short time." ”

Liu Qi's heart couldn't help sinking, Zhuge Liang was really taken away by this Liu Bei, but he still smiled: "But Langya Zhuge Kong is clear?" ”

Liu Bei was even more surprised at this time, and said with admiration: "The virtuous nephew is really knowledgeable, and he even knows Zhuge Junshi, hehe, you are right, it is indeed Mr. Zhuge , he has now been worshiped by me as a military general, since I got him, it is like a fish in water, hehe, this is thanks to the virtuous nephew?" If you hadn't married Huang Chengyan's daughter, maybe Mr. Zhuge couldn't help but cast himself under you, but at that time, when Mr. heard that Huang Chengyan's daughter Huang Shuo disdained to be his wife, but was willing to be a concubine, he had the heart to compete with his virtuous nephew for a while. ”

How could Liu Qi not listen to the smugness in Liu Bei's words? But he didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "In this way, isn't my charm a little stronger than Mr. Zhuge ? How embarrassing is that? I met Mr. Zhuge another day, the little nephew must see and understand, where can the little nephew be stronger than Mr. Zhuge ? There is a way to learn from each other's strengths, and this advantage of the little nephew should be played well in the future. ”

"This kid is really sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed......" Liu Bei originally wanted to use this to ridicule Liu Qi for not knowing people, and he actually abandoned a talent like Zhuge Liang, especially incomprehensible, it is really a big mistake to give up such a talent for the sake of a woman, but he didn't expect that his words had just been said, but he was ridiculed by Liu Qizheng, a kid, which was really unexpected, so although he was angry in his heart, it was not easy to vent it.

In fact, where did Liu Bei know? Liu Qi didn't know that Zhuge Liang's refusal to take refuge in himself was for Huang Yueying. But even if he knows, he will definitely not have half a point of remorse, there are still many talents like Zhuge Liang under him, whether it is Xu Shu, Jia Xu or Pang Tong, that one will not be worse than him. But an excellent woman like Huang Yueying is a more scarce resource, which means that she will bring more excellent genes to Lao Liu's family in the future.

Besides, who is he Liu Qi? How can it be possible to exchange your own women for talents? This made Liu Qi more firm in his belief: "Hehe, Ying'er, this time I'll let you take a look, I, Liu Qi, am really much stronger than that Zhuge Liang, I want Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei to know that your vision is absolutely accurate." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was embarrassed, Liu Qi smiled and said to him: "Xuande Gong, since you have come from afar, you will go to the city with your little nephew to recruit Wang Wei, and then go to Deng County to sit down, and we will have a good exchange of the general trend of the world." ”

Liu Bei also knew that now was not the time to be vindictive, and the most important thing now was to guard against Cao Cao, so he didn't say anything, nodded and walked forward, walked side by side with Liu Qi, and went to the city of Deng County together.

Although both of them wanted to calculate the other, and even wished that the other would die immediately, and then annex the land of their people, they knew that there was no point in doing such a thing now.

If Liu Bei does this, the reputation he has accumulated will immediately come to naught, not to mention, he may not be able to win a big victory, although he has an army of 30,000 under his command, but most of them are attached to him in a short period of time, and the army's combat effectiveness is not strong, not necessarily Liu Qi's opponent, if he even offends Liu Qi, I am afraid that he will really not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains anymore.

And Liu Qi can't do this now, because it's really no good for him to do this, after all, Zhao Yun is following him closely, and there is a general next to Zhao Yun, who should be the famous leader of the White Ear Army, Chen Dao, not to mention that there is also Zhang Fei in front, these people are not easy to deal with.

So the two of them almost tacitly pretended to be friendly, and then walked side by side and slowly came to the city.

I saw Liu Qi shouting to the city: "Where is Wang Wei?" Let him come out to me. ”

Almost everyone in Wang Wei's army knew Liu Qi, and immediately shouted to Wang Wei, who was resting not far away: "General, the eldest prince is shouting under the city, and I want the general to see him." ”

As soon as Wang Wei heard this, he immediately stood up, stood at the head of the city and saw that it was indeed Liu Qi, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and said to a personal soldier beside him: "Liao Hua, tie me up." ”

"Huh? General, this ......" A young soldier listened to Wang Wei's words, and couldn't help but hesitate to retreat, but he didn't dare to obey his orders.

But I heard Wang Wei shouting: "You fucking hurry up." ”

"No." The young soldier Liao Hua had no choice but to obey his fate, helplessly found a rope, tied Wang Wei to the rope, and then went out of the city with Wang Wei to meet Liu Qi.

Seeing Liu Qi standing outside the drawbridge on a horse, Wang Wei rushed forward without hesitation, knelt down and said: "The sinner Wang Wei visited the eldest prince, and the last general knew that he would die today, and he did not dare to beg for mercy from the eldest prince, but these personal soldiers under the command of the last general were innocent people, this named Liao Hua, the character Yuan Jian, although his ability was limited, but he had always been loyal and brave, and asked the eldest prince to spare their lives, and the last general knew that they would be grateful for the picture and serve the eldest prince." The reason why the last general did not dare to seek death before was that he was afraid that Deng County would fall into the hands of others, and now that the eldest prince is here, the last general has no regrets, and he also asks the eldest prince to behead the last general, so that the last general will go to Jiuquan to make amends to the lord. ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi actually got off the horse, gently untied Wang Wei's bonds, helped him up, and whispered: "The general is dedicated to the Lord and loyal, how could I kill you?" ”

"But the last general took refuge in Cai Mao before, helped him do a lot of bad things, and led his soldiers to rush into the mansion of the master of Kuai, he is really guilty, where do you dare to say anything?" Wang Wei bowed, his face remained unchanged, and he still said respectfully.

Liu Qi waved his hand disappreciably and said: "The general knows that General Wang is a loyal man, and when he went to the Kuo Lord's Mansion to arrest people before, he was just acting on orders, and General Wang has made meritorious contributions to defending the land, so he should not only be punished, but also rewarded." Wang Wei listened to the order, and the general ordered you to be the county magistrate of Deng and the general of Jianzhong Zhonglang, and ordered you to lead the people of the headquarters to support each other with Jingling Taishou Huang Shot, and jointly protect my Jingbei, and I hope that the general will never shirk. ”

"Huh? The eldest prince won't kill me? Wang Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise.

"Hehe, did General Wang think that he would be Liu Cong's kind of person who took revenge for personal gain? Hugh said that the general, even the master of the book has already said, this matter does not complain about the general, there is also a letter of persuasion written by the master book to the general, but the general thinks that you don't need this letter of persuasion, with the sincerity of the general, the general will definitely surrender. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei opened the letter and looked at it, sure enough, it was Kuai Yue's letter, Kuai Yue not only did not blame himself in his heart, but praised his virtue of resisting the enemy and defending the land, which made him couldn't help but be moved, thinking about the things he had helped Cai Mao do before, he couldn't help but cry like rain, and kowtowed to Liu Qi respectfully and said: "The last general Wang Wei saw the lord, and please rest assured that the last general will swear to serve the lord to the death, as long as there is a last general, he will never let the enemy take a step forward." ”

Liu Qi picked up Wang Wei and said with a smile: "With the general's words, the general will be relieved, by the way, what do you say is the name of this personal soldier next to you?" ”

"Returning to the lord, his name is Liao Hua, the character is Jianjian, a native of Nanyang."

"Haha, I see that the little guy has some general style, and he can be regarded as a good general when he is trained and cultivated in the future, so let's let him hone a few more days by my side first."

Liu Qi remembers that this Liao Hua is also a general in the history of Shu Han, especially when the talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty withered, Liao Hua became Zhuge Liang's first choice in desperation, so there are such words as "there is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is a pioneer", but this person is loyal and diligent all his life, coupled with hardships and hard work, he can be regarded as a rare talent.

Therefore, Liu Qi intended to cultivate Liao Hua's ability and promoted him to be a military Sima in his army.

Liu Qi was new to Wang Wei and Liao Hua, and he was happy in his heart, so he said to Liu Bei, who was not far behind him: "Duke Xuande, please enter the city." ”

At this moment, Chen Zhi, who was beside Liu Bei, suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, now Liu Qi has not been guarded, if General Zilong, General Yide and the last general come forward, they will definitely be able to capture Liu Qi alive, so that many places in Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou can be passed on." ”
