According to the reason, although Liu Bei secretly united with the Cao family and ruthlessly put Yuan Shang together, but the Hebei envoy came to negotiate with him, with his current status, he should not have been sprayed with Xiao Ji, how can he be too angry to talk about it, open his mouth to repay the debt, and tell the matter to the Son of Heaven, forcing Liu Bei to make a market appearance and talk to him!

This is also Liu Bei Han is well-raised, scolding the street with Xiao Ji, and replacing it with someone else, he would have already exposed his arms and sleeves to cut him!

Liu Bei wondered in his heart, after the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Hebei, how did he degenerate into this bear-like? The monarchs and ministers are all like philistines!

When he was defeated, he stayed in Hebei for a while, how majestic Yuan Shao was at that time, how polite and humble the monarchs and ministers of Hebei were, how did they all change beyond recognition when they arrived at Yuan Shang's generation?

The master looks like a scoundrel, and his subordinates are all like ruffians, for fear that his character is too good to lose his ancestors, and he is scrambling to be the villain, for fear that others will not know that his virtue is poor!

Now where is the power of the princes of Hebei who are separating one side, the entire first-class gangster army! This is also playing tricks in the territory, if one day Yuan Shang's gang goes to other countries, it will not lose the face of the Han Dynasty!

Alas! If the world is in turmoil, there will be demons...... The creatures of this demon have also gathered and hatched in Hebei.

Xiao Ji didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking, but he still forced Liu Bei to pay back the money.

"Liu Bei, pay back! If you don't pay back the money, I'll be a demon and kill you! ”

The clay man still has three points of earthiness, not to mention that Liu Bei is still a hero, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can compare with him, and his endurance is still limited after all.

"Smack!" Liu Bei slapped the table hard.

"Someone! Give me this guy...... Sticks will go out! Get out of Xiangyang! Do not let it into the country! Fast! I look at him dizzy! ”

When the words fell, two Liu Jun guards had already walked into the hall, holding wooden sticks with thick arms, raising their hands to greet Xiao Ji is messy stick.

The suddenness of this call really caught Xiao Ji off guard.

But when he saw Xiao Ji, he covered his head. Protecting the vital point in front of him, he shouted at Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, you have lost the name of the emperor in vain, I am the captain of the guard!" How dare you hit me! You, you wait, this account, I don't finish with you...... Yes~~! Yes~~! ”

There was no mercy under the water and fire stick, Xiao Ji scolded loudly while dodging and shouting pain, and was blasted out of Liu Bei's mansion by the guards, and his voice gradually drifted away. until it disappears.

It was only at this time that Liu Bei's anger subsided a little, he took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, lowered his head, and began to continue to review the official documents of the dignitaries at hand.

After a while, an attendant reported to Liao Li to ask to see him, and Liu Bei immediately put down his official business and asked him to come in.

Liao Li entered the hall. After seeing Liu Bei, he immediately said after saluting: "Lord, there is news from Cui Jun's side." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei knew that Liao Li was talking about Cui Jun's recruitment of Gan Ning, and asked eagerly: "How is the situation there Cui Jun?" ”

Liao Li handed over the letter sent by Cui Jun in his hand to Liu Bei. said: "Lord, Liao Lixin said that Gan Ning promised to surrender to the lord!" Congratulations to the lord for getting another good general! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed. Nodding his head, he said, "That's it, it's good, it's good!" Gan Ning has good skills. In the future, we will be able to become the backbone of our army, this is a great joy, and we should congratulate it! ”

Liao Li also nodded, but suddenly his face was a little anxious: "However, there is still one thing that needs to be arranged a little." ”

"What's the matter?"

Liao Liyan said: "Lord, please see the Cui Jun handwritten letter in your hand, during the period of his surrender to Ganning, Dongwu Lusu was also ordered by Sun Quan to go to Ganning Water Village, and his intention is the same as ours, they are all determined to recruit warriors, and Cui Jun is shrewd, and promised Gan Ning with millions of dollars, showing the sincerity of the lord." ”

Liu Bei was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Well done, hiring a powerful general, what is the way to spend millions of dollars?" This kind of money, it should be spent! Be willing to give up. ”

Liao Li shook his head and said: "But the problem is that although this matter has eyebrows, Gan Ning doesn't seem to believe in us. ”

Liu Bei's eyebrows raised slightly: "Why?" Is he still afraid that I won't be able to pay my bills? ”

"It's really such a thing, speaking of which, the source is also to blame for Yuan Shang of Hebei, who made the matter of the lord's arrears full of ups and downs, the world knows, and now the world knows that the lord of the road sits in the rich land of Jingxiang Nine Counties and does not repay his wealth, which makes the lord's reputation poor and his reputation greatly reduced, and Gan Ning is probably among them!"

Liu Bei hammered the table case fiercely, and said: "This hateful kid of the Yuan family is not shallow every time, and he will definitely be called good-looking sooner or later...... Or, send someone to Xiangyang Treasury Mansion with my warrant, and first transfer one million money to Ganning Water Village......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Liao Li smiled bitterly: "The lord seems to have thought of the difficulties in this, Ganning is in trouble, and it is the Jiangxia rebel general, which makes the people's livelihood in the southeast of Jingzhou unstable, and we are waiting for it to surrender, and before making contributions, we bribe it with huge sums of money, but I am afraid that the people will be resentful, and the generals of the counties will not accept it......"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "It is indeed unruly to reward him now...... If I act like this, I am afraid that the people of Jiangxia and the generals of the counties will be resentful...... Why don't you let Gan Ning surrender first, let him make a little military achievements, and then give him a heavy reward in the future, okay? ”

Liao Liyan said: "That's what I said, but the problem is that Gan Ning is already suspicious of the lord's credibility now, and the envoy of Dongwu has not left his water village, so if he drags it out, he is afraid that his sincerity to us will be reduced and he will change his original intention." ”

Liu Bei said sadly: "What can I do if it seems like this? ”

Liao Lidao: "Cui Jun said in the letter, the current law, if you return the money owed to Hebei, in order to save the reputation of the lord, the heart of Ganning, Yuan Shang and the lord have a bad relationship, if even his money is returned, the lord is trustworthy again, why worry about Ganning's heart?" ”

"Pay back Yuan Shangqian!?" Liu Bei's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "Impossible!" When pigs fly! Then Yuan Shang insulted me several times, hated that he couldn't eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, and still give him money? Besides, the money is not owed to him at all, it is he who blackmailed me! Why should I give it to him? Not! ”

Liao Li shook his head and said: "Lord, those who become big things are not informal, money is something outside the body, besides, I am rich in Jingzhou, not bad for these funds, the lord gives up foreign things and gets a fierce general, in order to be able to fight against Yuan Shang when the power increases greatly in the future?" At that time, Cao Cao was still able to tolerate the daughter of the Xiahou clan marrying Yuan Shang as his wife, but was the lord still reluctant to have a little money to pave the way for the future? All kinds of pros and cons, please also ask the lord to check them carefully. ”

After Liao Li finished speaking, his eyes stared deeply at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's face was flickering, his heart was swaying, struggling left and right.

He didn't miss the money, but he really didn't want Yuan Shang to be proud! That kid is too ruthless, when he thinks of those bastards back then, Liu Bei is so angry that he has a toothache, and the tables in the back house are all broken by him because of this anger.

However, it is imperative that we do so......

In troubled times, what is most important! Strength and strength!

And what is the most powerful? One is soldiers and horses, and the other is talent......

Gan Ning played with less than 1,000 people to play with Jiang Xiajun between applause, and his great talent is unique, which is obvious to all! Such people are too expensive, and they are definitely not something that can be seen every day. Once you lose it, you can never get it again.

No way, admit it!

Liu Bei gritted his teeth, and finally turned his heart sideways, waved at Liao Li and said: "The envoy of Hebei has come to ask for the account, but he has been blasted out of Xiangyang by me, and he should not go far at this moment, you send a fast rider to chase him back quickly." ”

"No!"

"Wait~~!"

Liu Bei squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and said in a low voice: "Why do I sound so strange about this today...... Xiao Ji came to ask for the account, and Gan Ning also didn't believe in our integrity, these two things suddenly came together, maybe it's a bit too coincidental, right? ”

Liao Li smiled when he heard this: "The lord is too worried, Yuan Shangyuan is in Hebei, and he is on each side of Gan Ningtian, and the relationship between the eight poles and the eight poles can't be matched, where can he coincidentally?" ”

Liu Bei was still puzzled: "Huang Hansheng once said that there is a person in Ganning Water Village, who seems to be Yuan Shang. ”

Liao Li shook his head and said: "Lord, this matter has been confirmed by Cui Jun in the letter, it is purely false, Huang Zhong is old and dazzled, it is normal to be wrong, and he and Yuan Shang are just a glimpse of the battlefield, it is difficult to say whether the person he saw at the beginning is Yuan Shang or not, let alone today...... Besides, the spies have a report, Yuan Shang is inspecting the border of Liaodong at the moment, do you really believe that the lord of Hebei is not in his jurisdiction, but in the thief Koushui Village? ”

Liu Bei thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I'm thinking too much, hehe, Cao Cao is dead, and his suspiciousness seems to have been transferred to Bei's body, okay, you send someone to chase after Ji, Gan Ning, Bei will never miss it." ”

******************************

In Gan Ning Water Village, Sima Yi secretly invited Gan Ning to his room.

"Second brother, what are you doing sneakily and dragging Lao Tzu here?" Gan Ning looked puzzled, looking at Sima Yi cautiously, very puzzled.

Sima Yi glanced around, closed the door, and bowed his hand to Gan Ning: "Big brother, my little brother secretly invited you to come today, because I want to tell you something, and I also want to show you the truth." ”

Gan Ning was curious: "Bright bottom? What do you mean? ”

"Big brother, after I told you the truth today, you want to kill me, or kidnap me to Liu Bei to ask for credit, and the younger brother is aware of the complaints."

Gan Ning frowned: "Second brother, what is the matter?" Make it so solemn, between you and my brothers, what else can't be said! ”

Sima Yi sighed: "Big brother, little brother lied to you, in fact, I don't call Ma Yuan ......" (to be continued......)
