"Strategist, why are you here! Doesn't it give you more rest? Thank you for your hard work some time ago! Now Cao Jun has retreated! Leave these chores to them! You're my baby, how can you get tired of it! Liu Bei saw that Father Zhuge was coming, and his face suddenly turned from cloudy to clear, and the gloomy clouds dispersed. He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed Zhuge Daddy's hand, and said with a slow smile.

Hearing Liu Bei call Daddy Zhuge "baby", Young Master Zhuge suddenly felt a chill. Liu Bei, this guy is really disgusting! It is the first of its kind to open "Shu Han is all the base".

Liu Bei pointed to the new army in the audience and said with a smile: "Look, military advisor, we train according to your method, and this batch of new soldiers is about to become again!" If this continues, it won't be long before we recover! ”

Father Zhuge looked at the thousands of soldiers on the school field lined up in a neat phalanx, and the deafening shouts of killing shook the sky, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. smiled and pointed to the soldiers under the audience and said: "This batch of new soldiers is quite strong, and if they are trained, they will become a battlefield blade in the hands of the lord!" ”

"Yes, the quality of these new pawns is good! The only thing I was worried about was ......"

"Baggage?"

Liu Bei nodded.

"My lord! Look at this! Father Zhuge took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei took the bamboo tube, took out the silk inside, and was taken aback when he saw the words on it, and asked in surprise: "Military advisor, what does this mean?" ”

"Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, Zhongshan businessman. These two people have moved their family business south since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and now they have become one of the top businessmen in Huainan, with thousands of family fortunes and countless child servants, and they are rich enough to rival the country! The burden of our new army may fall on these two people! ”

"This ...... Huainan is now Cao Cao's territory, and the second duke is kind to me. Smuggling weapons and armor is a major crime to exterminate the clan, and the soldiers were fortunate to rely on the help of the second duke, and now the second duke is half a hundred, how can I bear to fall into the danger of the second duke! Liu Bei's face was embarrassed.

Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Dao would be like this, and he didn't say much. He took out a piece of silk silk from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei took it suspiciously, and didn't feel tears raining down.

On the silk is Su Shuang's handwritten letter to Liu Bei, which roughly means, he regrets that he couldn't follow Liu Bei to fight in the Quartet to sweep away the stubbornness. Now although he is rich, he can see the four seas**, and the ministers are bullying the master, and they are burned inside. Now I heard that Liu Bei was not afraid of the fierceness of the Cao thief, and confronted the national thief with a weak force. But he couldn't help the king, and he was ashamed. I heard that Liu Bei's army lacked weapons and armor. There are still more than 10,000 sets of weapons and armor in his home, and he is willing to dedicate them to the envoy for military use.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." Liu Bei is now at the end of his rope, and Su Shuang risked killing his head at this time to fund Liu Bei. This friendship will move anyone if it changes.

"My lord, Su Weng is righteous and cloudy, you must not let the loyal ministers and righteous people chill! I beg the Lord to make a decision! Send people to the north to contact Su Weng and open the two Huai trade routes. If this trade route can be opened, it will be of great help to the lord's great cause of resisting Cao! ”

"Well, well! Just who is the right person to send? "Liu Fu, the Yangzhou pastor of Hefei, is a shrewd official. It was not an easy task to transport such a large sum of military supplies to Xiakou from his eyelids down.

"Lord, let me go! My family has been in business for generations, and I have been in business with my father since I was a child, so I am familiar with this area. Subordinates go to the foolproof! Mi Zhu stood up, and his relatives were reliable at a critical time!

"This ...... What do the military advisors think? Although Mi Zhu was born in a merchant family, he had never engaged in commercial activities, and this trip was very dangerous. Liu Bei was a little undecided. Once there is a loss, Liu Bei can bear it.

"My lord, Mr. Zizhong is witty and resolute, and he is responsible for it! But it is not possible for the gentleman to go alone. Sun Gongyou Sun is resourceful and can be his deputy. General Guan Ping's courage was abnormal, and he took dozens of good men in the army to dress up as servants and guards, escorting them all the way. Add one more and you're all set! When Liu Bei heard this, he had already booked the candidate.

"Strategist, who else?" Mi Zhu asked.

"Dog Zhuge Zhan!" Father Zhuge smiled brightly.

"Huh?" The crowd was amazed.

"Strategist, this is no joke. Zhan'er is too small, this time it is not as good as the envoy to Jiangdong, Huainan is full of bandits, and the road is not very smooth, so it is too dangerous! Zhan'er is the only son of a military advisor, how can he let Zhan'er go to danger easily? This must not be! Never! Liu Bei waved his hand again and again. Just kidding, last time Xu Shu and his wife were arrested, that guy turned his head and voted for Cao Cao. If your son is caught this time, you will run away again. I'm still a fart!

"My lord doesn't need to persuade him! Zhan'er's ability is clear, and sending Zhan'er to it this time will be of great use! I hope the Lord will grant it! Zhuge Liang bowed down.

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhuge Father up, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Since the military advisors have said so!" What else is there to say? That's it! ”

Hearing that Liu Bei allowed him to accompany him, Young Master Zhuge looked happy. It's finally time to get out and play!

Time was pressing, Mi Zhu and his party simply cleaned up and went on the road the next day. Mi Zhu pretended to be a merchant in Jiangdong, Sun Qian was the bookkeeper, and Guan Ping accompanied him with dozens of guards pretending to be servants. Young Master Zhuge is too young, so he can only pretend to be Mi Zhu's youngest son.

Liu Bei prepared a good carriage for Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Young Master Zhuge . Guan Ping and the rest of the guards rode horses. Day and night, I went straight to Hefei.

The distance from Xiakou to Hefei is not too close, but it will not take too much time to speed up. At this time, the sooner you get the baggage, the more beneficial it will be to Liu Bei Group. Who knows when Cao Cao will suddenly convulsions and personally lead the army to Xiakou City?

"Drive~drive~drive~" The groom slapped the horse's ass hard, hoping to speed up. Young Master Zhuge sat in the bumpy carriage and didn't want to say a word. He gets motion sickness! The last time Master Zhuge took a boat, he found himself seasick. This time I took the carriage and found that I really couldn't stand this kind of long-distance bumps. It makes people feel like they want to die! Damn the road conditions in the Han Dynasty are just too bad! Cao Cao's group of public servants took taxpayers' money for Lu, why didn't they know how to serve the people well? You are not asked to increase GDP, at least you should build the road!

"Mr. Sun, how far is it from Hefei?" Mi Zhu covered his mouth with his hand, and he also got motion sickness.

"If you go back to the master, there is still a day to go!" It was Sun Qian who spoke, and his current identity was Mi Zhu's account office.

"Damn, why is it so slow!" Mi Zhu closed his eyes and prepared to be confused for a while.

"Hiss~~huh~~" The carriage suddenly braked suddenly.

"Oops, what's going on?" The carriage was too sudden, Mi Zhu was just confused, and he almost ran out of the way. He struggled to his feet and stuck his head out. Seeing the scene in front of him, he sighed and shook his head with a helpless expression. Young Master Zhuge was also thrown upside down in the car just now, and at this time he also stuck his little head out of the car.

But I saw a large tree trunk blocking the middle of the official road. Behind the trunk stood dozens of ragged but fierce-looking creatures. The leader was eight feet long, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, holding a slightly rusty machete in his hand, staring straight at Mi Zhu's convoy.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to hit here, leave the road money!" Feelings are bandits! In these years, the soldiers were short of roads, the people were hungry and cold, and there were many people who fell into the grass and occupied the mountains as bandits.

"Damn, thousands of years! The bandits really haven't grown at all, or these lines! No wonder it can't be the climate! I don't know how to keep pace with the times! Young Master Zhuge looked disdainful.

Sun Qian jumped out of the car, saluted forward, and said with a smile: "The road is facing the sky, go to each side!" We are all businessmen who do our duty, and we go out to eat and eat. Please also make it convenient for you! This is a little bit of fun, and please laugh at it! He threw over a bag of money.
