After Liu Bei and the others sighed for a while, their emotions gradually calmed down. Zhang Fei pulled Liu Bei to the front of his seven hundred cavalry, pointed at the cavalry and said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, look, these elite cavalry will be our subordinates in the future." ”

After speaking, Zhang Fei turned his head and shouted at the cavalry under him: "Don't you want to see the lord?!" ”

The seven hundred cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, stood on the left side of their horses, took off their helmets at the same time, and gave a standard military salute to Liu Bei: "Meet the general." ”

Liu Bei had also witnessed the elite of this cavalry on the city wall before, and when he heard Zhang Fei say that this cavalry would be his own in the future, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and waited for these people to pay homage with joy. However, these elite cavalrymen who don't know where Zhang Fei got it, although they are very respectful to themselves, they call themselves generals in unison! It's the general! Not the lord! This made Liu Bei's original joy come to naught in an instant.

Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, although he is not happy in his heart, but he knows that the most important thing in fighting the world is soldiers, horses, money and food, with the elite level of the cavalry in front of him, Liu Bei will definitely not abandon it. With a warm smile, Liu Bei said calmly as if he hadn't heard what these people called him just now: "You are all good, and I will never treat you badly." ”

Zhang Fei was a rough man, he didn't notice the name of Liu Bei by his subordinate cavalry, and even if he did, he couldn't understand Liu Bei's feelings. Seeing Liu Bei open his mouth to praise his subordinate cavalry, Zhang Fei happily opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Big brother, these brothers were given to me by Brother Mohan. ”

As everyone knows, Zhang Fei's words made Liu Bei's face change color instantly! In the morning, Guan Yu once praised the naval army of Gan Ning's department, who would have expected that in the evening, Zhang Fei would directly bring back a team of elite soldiers trained by Ao Lie! His two brothers have praised Ao Lie's elite soldiers one after another, where does this make Liu Bei, the eldest brother, put his face? Although Liu Bei knew that the two brothers would never laugh at their incompetence as a big brother, looking at Zhang Fei's attention to the seven hundred cavalry behind him, Liu Bei's heart really didn't feel good. Liu Bei also likes elite soldiers, and he also wants Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead a male army respectively, but the premise is that it must be given to them by Liu Bei! And it shouldn't be Ao Lie, or even anyone but Liu Bei!

Zhang Fei's thick nerves didn't notice the changes in Liu Bei, and he was still talking about how the seven hundred cavalry under his subordinates fought bravely in this battle. Guan Yu's mind was more delicate, and he quickly discovered Liu Bei's abnormality, and he also understood why Liu Bei's face had become so pale. However, this matter is on the matter, and the people Ao Hussars helped each other with righteousness, and their brothers definitely did not have the reason to anger others, otherwise, they would have lost their faith, and how would they mix it up in the future? The thing of repaying virtue with grievances is not something that Guan Yu can do. But Guan Yu didn't know how to persuade Liu Bei, so he had to bow his head silently.

At this time, the only one who can break the deadlock is Gongsun Zhan.

After seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei enter the city, Gongsun Zhan deliberately lagged behind Liu Bei a few steps, and asked Liu Bei to take the first step to complain to Guan and Zhang. Because Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are classmates, of course, he knows Liu Bei's personality very well, he knows that Liu Bei will definitely cry at this time, he really doesn't want to see a big man crying like a woman, so he deliberately came a little late.

"I heard that Brother Xuande has an extra elite cavalry under his command? Congratulations for my brother. Gongsun Chan said as he walked.

Liu Bei put away the different colors on his face, returned to his usual honest and loyal appearance, turned to Gongsun Chan and smiled: "Where did Brother Bogui say, where did the cavalry dare to be the elite in front of Brother Bogui's White Horse?" ”

Gongsun Zhan Ha said with a smile: "Xuande doesn't have to be too humble, he is in the city, and he has seen it." The elite soldiers brought back by Yide are indeed extraordinary. ”

Zhang Fei interjected: "These brothers were all given to me by Brother Mohan. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Zhan glanced at the seven hundred cavalry with interest, and then looked at Zhang Fei's excited black face, and then said with admiration: "It turned out to be Brother Mo Han, no wonder this cavalry is so elite, so let's give Xuande another three hundred cavalry, enough to make up a thousand, so that Xuande will have his own military horses." ”

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's gift, Liu Bei did not feel as resistant as he did to Ao Lie, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Bogui." ”

This was a happy result, Zhang Fei had his own subordinates, Liu Bei's strength was strengthened, and Gongsun Zhan secretly helped Ao Lie to soothe Liu Bei's resistance. If you want to say that the only thing that is unsatisfactory is that in Liu Bei's heart, if there is a complicated mood towards Zhang Fei, is it suspicion? Is it a barrier? Liu Bei himself couldn't say clearly.

Liaodong, in the city of Xiangping.

Gongsun Du sat in the position of the Taishou and looked at the envoy in front of him casually: "So, the hussar general sent you to make peace?" Xu uh, I'm sorry, Ben will have a bad memory, Mr. Gao's surname? ”

Xu Shu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xu Shu, who was born late, can't afford to be called Mr. Gongsun Taishou." Coming in his later years, he didn't come to make peace, he was private, my master was called a little overlord, how could he make peace with others? Yu Gong, my lord is a hussar general and champion marquis who is the son of today, and his official position and title are all above Taishou, how can I talk about peace? ”

Gongsun Du stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table, and shouted: "Presumptuous! How dare you make a big statement in front of this general! Are you here to demonstrate? ”

More than a dozen guards on both sides of the battle line pulled out their swords and looked at Xu Shu angrily, as long as Gongsun Du gave an order, they would not hesitate to rush forward and cut off Xu Shu's head.

Xu Shu's face did not change, he smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, the matter between a certain and your family Taishou has not been discussed, I advise you to be calm for the time being, otherwise, the person behind a certain person is not something you can deal with." With that, Xu Shu dodged half of his body and let out the person behind him.

Standing behind Xu Shu was none other than Wei Yan. At this moment, Wei Yan's hand had already fallen to the hilt of the knife on his waist, the expression on his face was not angry and arrogant, and he glanced at Gongsun Du's guards with the corner of his eye, and snorted coldly.

Gongsun is a prince, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. He saw that Wei Yan behind Xu Shu was extraordinary, and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you asked the general's name yet?" ”

Wei Yan glanced at Gongsun Du, and replied loudly: "It is Nanyang Wei Yan!" ”

"Wei Yan!" Gongsun Du was really taken aback in his heart, just as the shadow of the so-called famous tree of people, Wei Yan's single-handedly killing of the King of Cliffs had spread in Youzhou. Wuhuan people have always been brave and ruthless, and their physical fitness is excellent, and they can easily kill the king of the cliff in the chaos of the army, how can a nobody do it? Gongsun Du looked at the guards standing on both sides, and he knew in his heart how much weight these guards had. If there is a disagreement, Wei Yan will burst out and hurt people, and these guards under his command will definitely not be able to stop Wei Yan.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Du's face softened, and he changed it to a smiling face: "Look, look, General Wei Yan is really the style of a general, the general is lazy, come on, sit down." Ah, Mr. Xu Shu, please take a seat. ”

Xu Shu pulled Wei Yan to sit under Gongsun Du's hand, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "My lord asked a certain person to speak, Zhang Ju supported the army to stand on his own, and the sin is unforgivable." For the sake of the people of the world, my lord wants to raise an army to conscript. If Gongsun Taishou can send troops to help, after the war, my lord would like to show Taishou as the Marquis of Liaoyang, and make it clear that every degree of Taishou's dispatch of troops will be paid by the Hussar General's Mansion. ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a while, and said thoughtfully: "It's not that the general doesn't want to send troops to quell the chaos, it's just that the general is seriously ill now and can't travel far. "Gongsun Du had long expected that Ao Lie would send someone to come, and he must have asked for reinforcements, so he had already thought of an excuse.

Old fox! Xu Shu secretly scolded Gongsun Du in his heart, what is seriously ill, it is clearly a self-respecting army, and he refuses to let his subordinates suffer any losses. "It turns out that Taishou has a minor illness, so it's really not suitable for battle. By the way, my lord has one more sentence for a certain take. Speaking of this, Xu Shu suddenly stopped talking, but picked up the teacup in front of him and tasted the tea leisurely.

Just when Gongsun Du was curious about what he was saying, Wei Yan stood up, stared at Gongsun Du with a pair of murderous eyes, and said in a cold voice word by word: "Traitors should be punished!" Of course, this sentence was not said by Ao Lie, even if Ao Lie once said it, it was definitely not said to Gongsun Du. This sentence was discussed by Xu Shu and Wei Yan on the way here, one of them sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and with the prestige of Ao Lie, they forced Gongsun Du to comply.

Looking at the eyes scattered from Wei Yan's eyes, like a vicious wolf staring at its prey, Gongsun Du's heart couldn't help but tremble. It was only at this moment that Gongsun Du came to his senses that the two envoys he faced were not ordinary messengers, but were sent by Ao Lie, a hussar general and champion of the northern frontier, known as the little overlord. Once Ao Lie calmed down Zhang Ju and turned back to clean himself up, what could he resist? For a long time, Gongsun Du did not take the imperial court seriously and did not obey the decrees of the imperial court for a reason, because he could retreat to Sanhan at any time and be a free-spirited emperor in Sanhan. Samhan is a small country thousands of miles northeast of Dahan, and it can't even be called a country, just a large tribe, which is today's North and South Korean Peninsula. There are many islands and surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is suitable for Gongsun Du to give full play to the expertise of the naval army under his command. However, when Gongsun Du realized that the potential opponent he was facing might be Ao Yeol, he was shaken, and he was not sure that he would be able to escape to the Samhan Peninsula under Ao Yeol's men.

However, if he bowed his head and obeyed Ao Lie's orders like this, Gongsun Du was really unwilling. Suddenly, the entire hall of the Taishou Mansion fell into silence.

After a long time, Gongsun Du groaned and said: "In this way, please return to the pavilion for the time being and wait for the news, Ben will ask the medical officer to confirm that Ben General's chronic illness will not affect the Ao Hussar's plan to level the bandits, so that he can reply to the two." ”

Xu Shu readily agreed, and then pulled Wei Yan out of Liaodong Taishou Mansion.

When Xu Shu left, Gongsun Du sneered, and wanted to use the false name of a Liaoyang Marquis to let himself send troops? That's such a beautiful thing! Gongsun Du had already made up his mind to tie Xu Shu and Wei Yan to Liaodong, neither killing them nor letting them go. killed them, offended the little overlord Ao Lie, let them go, and offended Zhang Ju, both sides were strong soldiers and horses, and no one wanted to offend Gongsun Du.

After walking out of the Taishou Mansion, Wei Yan quietly said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, you are a true god. All of Gongsun Du's reactions are in your calculations, hehe, now we can at least hold him back and prevent him from sending troops to help the traitor. ”

Xu Shu glanced back at the Liaodong Taishou Mansion, and said softly: "Wen Chang, look at it, it won't take a few days, this Liaodong Taishou Mansion will have a different master, maybe, the new master will be you Wei Wenchang at that time." ”
