Chapter 51: Liu Bei's abacus
"This thing is the property of the imperial court, my lord will get it back in the name of His Majesty, I don't want to fall here in Xuande Gong, I am ordered to come and ask for it, and I hope that Xuande Gong will return it!"
Shou Chun
In the past, Yuan Shu's governance place, after the poison of Yuan Shu, now it has become a little dilapidated, in the huge city, there are only two thousand households, which is a lot for the border land, but Shouchun as a big city in Jiujiang and Runan, at its peak, only this city, there are more than 10,000 households, in contrast, now the huge city, it looks like it has become dilapidated.
In the General's Mansion, Liu Bei looked at the scribe in front of him expressionlessly and did not speak, but Liu Pi and Gong Du, who were newly cast on the side, were blown up when they heard the words, the two were born bandits and had a short temper.
"What kind of thing is Lu Bu, the person who killed us, and dared to send someone, come, drag this person out for me, behead!"
The relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei is already an endless relationship, and this time, Lu Bu didn't expect Liu Bei to really hand over the jade seal directly, so he just sent a random scribe, it would be best if he could come back, or if he didn't come back, Lu Bu would help him take revenge.
"General Liu, stop." Liu Bei stretched out his hand, stopped Liu Pi, shook his head and said: "The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, besides, this matter is ......."
looked at the scribe and said, "Go back and tell Lu Bu that there is nothing he wants here." ”
The scribe didn't dare to say more, got up and bowed to Liu Bei, then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Brother, that Lu Bu's wolf nature, this time I can't have a jade seal, I'm afraid he will lead an army to come soon." Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, the hand holding the knife shaft, couldn't help but tighten, gritted his teeth and said, "Yu is willing to personally lead the army to fight against Na Lu Bu." ”
Zhang Fei's death is a thorn in Guan Yu's heart, every time he thinks that Zhang Fei was captured by Lu Bu in front of his eyes, but he can't do anything, Guan Yu feels like a knife in his heart, practicing martial arts day and night, and vows that one day he will personally cut off Lu Bu's head to comfort Zhang Fei's spirit in the sky.
"The last general is willing to go with the second master!" When Liu Bi and Gong both heard this, their eyes lit up and they asked for battle.
After the Yellow Turban was destroyed, he led some of the old Yellow Turbans to occupy the mountains in this land of Runan, relying on the complicated terrain, even if Yuan Shu had sent people to recruit the two, they mostly returned in vain.
After so many years, Liu Bi and the two can see clearly, with the two of them can not become any climate, it is best to be able to defect to the princes all the way, originally planned to defect to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu was the most heavily born, extremely disdainful of the two, and then Yuan Shu was defeated, Liu Bei came to Runan, wanted to stand on his own, but there were no soldiers and horses, Liu Bi and the two also heard of Liu Bei's reputation, and they were interested in each other, and Liu Bei was short of soldiers and horses, and he had a lot of bandits in his hands, and now Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, in addition to being picked from Cao Cao, most of them were recruited by the two. The two sides hit it off.
Originally, it was just mutual benefit, but the two of them were born in grass, Guan Yu had no prejudice against the two, and even gave guidance from time to time, and the two also respected Guan Yu's high righteousness.
"Yun Chang, don't be impulsive." Liu Bei frowned and said, "Then Lu Bu...... You're not alone. ”
Although it hurts people's self-esteem, especially for a fierce general like Guan Yu, these words are a bit hurtful, but the fact is that he has already lost a Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei really doesn't want Guan Yu to take any more risks.
Besides, now that he has just gained a foothold in Runan, although in personal feelings, he can't wait to kill Lu Bu, but Liu Bei knows better that not only can he not provoke Lu Bu now, but if he can join forces with Lu Bu, it is the best!
It's a pity that if you really form an alliance with Lu Bu, not to mention whether Lu Bu agrees, I'm afraid Guan Yu will not agree to be the first one.
"Even if you die, you have to let Na Lu Bu pay for his life!" Guan Yu's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.
"Yun Chang ......" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said with some pain: "My brother has lost his wings, does Yun Chang also want to abandon me and go?" ”
"Brother, that's not what I meant." Guan Yu sighed and said, "It's just the hatred of Yide...... It kept me awake at night, and now that Lu Bu was near, but he was powerless to take revenge, Yu felt very guilty in his heart. ”
"My lord." Jian Yong on the side took a step forward, bowed down and said: "This heirloom jade seal is very important, and now it is lost above the boundary of Xuzhou, if Lu Bu can't hand it over, he will come to besiege it early, if we don't return it, then Lu Bu will definitely come to attack, since the first battle is unavoidable, why not prepare early?" ”
Of course, there is another way, and that is to return the jade seal, but ...... Not only Liu Bei, but Guan Yu, Gong Du and others also felt that since this jade seal fell into Liu Bei's hands, it was the will of heaven, and even if he was not called the emperor, there was no reason to hand it over.
Liu Bei has been up and down for half his life, and now he is nearly forty years old, but he has never been able to stand on the princes, and now he suddenly got the jade seal of the country, in Liu Bei's opinion, maybe it is some kind of providence in the dark, in short, it is impossible for him to hand over the jade seal.
"Lu Bu has newly settled Xuzhou, I'm afraid there are not many available troops under his command, and our army now has 20,000 people, so it may not be impossible to fight!" Jian Yong said with a smile.
"Good!" When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes lit up, he was afraid of Lu Bu's might, but he forgot about this, Lu Bu was trapped in the lonely city by Cao Cao in Xiapi, and I am afraid that there are not many soldiers and horses in his hands, although Liu Bei knows that although he looks at a large number of people now, he is actually a rabble, but if he wants to ambush or defend the city with the help of geographical advantages, then Lu Bu may not be able to bargain for himself here.
"Yun Chang, Liu Pi, Gong Du!" Turning his head and looking at Guan Yu and other generals, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "The three of you gather heavy troops as soon as possible, and send more scouts to investigate, remember, if you find Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, don't touch them!" ”
"Whoa!" Guan Yu's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they bowed and said.
"Xianhe, you send someone to infiltrate Xuzhou to see if you can contact some people who were friendly with us in the past to find out about Na Lu Bu's movements." Liu Bei looked at Jian Yongdao on the side again.
"Don't worry, my lord." Jian Yong smiled and nodded, after all, Liu Bei had been a state pastor in Xuzhou, not only had a good relationship with the Chen family, but many wealthy families in Xuzhou were also friendly with Liu Bei, although it was impossible for them to rebel against Lu Bu at this time, but if they just inquired about some news and monitored Lu Bu's movements, Jian Yong believed that these people would not refuse.
"Go your separate ways!" Liu Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the momentary excitement in his heart.
"Brother, there's one more thing." Guan Yu said suddenly.
"What's the matter with Yun Chang?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu suspiciously.
"The two sisters-in-law are still in the hands of Na Lu Bu now!" Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Why don't you send someone to go and say to that Lu Bu that you are willing to exchange the jade seal for the two sisters-in-law?" ”
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, he naturally understood what Guan Yu meant, if he could defeat Lu Bu, his wife would naturally be his own, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Then I will order someone to go and give it a try." ”
As for whether Lu Bu will be fooled, Liu Bei doesn't care too much, it's best if he can come back, or if he doesn't come back, he has no loss.
"Whoa!"
