Entering Changsha County, Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun and Huang Hu stopped in Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County. Liu Xiu personally went to visit Han Xuan and briefly talked about his experience in Jiangdong, Han Xuan was both in awe and appreciation of Liu Xiu, and left Liu Xiu for a big banquet.

After the guests and hosts were happy, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Xiu took Zhao Yun and Huanghu to set off for Youxian County.

Entering Youxian County, Liu Xiusheng had a feeling of returning to his hometown.

It stands to reason that Xiangyang is where Liu Xiu lives. But now, Liu Xiuzhen really regards Youxian as his foundation, and Youxian is where he settles.

The three of them rode their horses and hurried to the county seat.

When passing through an official road in a mountain forest, more than a dozen men in shabby clothes suddenly rushed out on both sides of the mountain forest. The first person, burly, holding a mace in his hand, the fierce middle-aged man roared: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road money." ”

The words were catchy, staring at Liu Xiu and the three of them, with a thick smile.

The middle-aged man waved his mace in his hand and said loudly: "The four horses stay, the money on their bodies stays, and then you can get out." ”

Zhao Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not move.

This is Youxian County, Liu Xiu's territory, he just waits and sees.

Liu Xiu's face darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. Under his governance, everything is thriving and developing, and what Liu Xiu wants to show Zhao Yun is a thriving Youxian County.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Youxian, he encountered thieves.

It's so disappointing

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and ordered, "Huzi, take them all." ”

"Okay"

Huang Hu smiled, turned over and dismounted, took two drum urn golden hammers from another war horse, and rushed forward directly. The Yellow Tiger was born burly and tall, and if the war horse carried the Yellow Tiger and had to carry two sledgehammers, it would definitely not be able to withstand it. Therefore, the Yellow Tiger's weapon was placed on another war horse alone.

"Boy, you're looking for death. ”

Seeing this, the bandit with a mace rushed forward with his weapon.

The bandits under his command launched attacks one after another.

"Cloak Hammer, Kill"

The yellow tiger roared, and the drum urn was picked up with a golden hammer, and with a whistling sound, it smashed into the mace.

"Bell"

An earth-shattering loud bang echoed in the mountains and forests.

In an instant, the bandit leader vomited blood, and the mace flew out. He fell to the ground, coughing up blood, and was already seriously injured. This scene frightened the rest of the bandits.

Huang Hu was extremely excited, and the drum urn and golden hammer in his hand kept waving.

In a few moments, all the bandits, lying on the ground and groaning, were severely wounded.

Liu Xiu's eyes were solemn, and he ordered: "Huzi, find some ropes, tie them up, and bring them back to Youxian." ”

"No"

Huang Hu nodded and immediately executed the order.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Hu tied everyone up. The rope was tied to the horse carrying the drum urn and the golden hammer, and the man pulled the horse forward.

Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun and Huang Hu continued to hurry again.

The speed of the rush slowed down.

While walking, Zhao Yun said: "Xinye, under the governance of the lord, has long been on the road and does not close the door at night, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, that is the real happy land." ”

Zhao Yun likes Xinye very much, and he has lived a very comfortable time in Xinye.

There was reverence for Liu Bei in his eyes.

Liu Xiu smiled and said noncommittally: "Zilong has a lot of respect for Xuande Gong. ”

Zhao Yun said solemnly: "Although the lord is displaced, he is a person, he treats people and things, and he makes people feel at home, and there has never been a little rudeness. In terms of being a man, the lord is definitely successful. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei has been a successful man, hehe, when it comes to 100,000 stone grains, Liu Bei hesitates. Eventually, he puts the choice in your hands and lets you take the initiative to go to Youxian. Is this way of life really successful?"

When he mentioned this, Zhao Yun felt faintly uncomfortable in his heart.

One hundred thousand stones of grain moved Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei hesitated, and Zhao Yun's heart was more or less a little pimple. In fact, Zhao Yun also knew very well that 100,000 stone of grain was placed in front of Liu Bei, and it was impossible for Liu Bei not to be moved. Liu Bei was tempted, in fact, he could also decisively refuse, Zhao Yun would also agree to come to Jiangdong for Liu Bei's sake.

Liu Bei's hesitation made Zhao Yun feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhao Yun was loyal to Liu Bei, and when he heard Liu Xiu's slander, he argued: "The lord is sympathetic to his subordinates and cares for the soldiers in the army. To the generals in the army, he is the master. The same is true for me. ”

Liu Xiu sneered twice and said, "In front of the grain, he hesitated, is this the Ming Lord?"

In a word, the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

Zhao Yun snorted and argued again: "You don't have much contact with the lord, you don't understand the lord." He is not only a good monarch, but also a brother who talks about everything. ”

For Zhao Yun, Liu Bei cared for him very much, and he was like a brother.

Liu Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You are valuable to Liu Bei, he naturally cares about you, and he also regards you as a brother." Just like the grain, between you and the grain, the value of the grain is greater, and his choice is the grain, not you. So, it's not that they see you as a brother, but that you have enough value. ”

The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Liu Xiu, his eyes depressed.

Why is it food every time

As soon as he heard the word food, Zhao Yun felt extremely depressed.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said again: "The lord is not only a good brother, but also a loyal and loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. ”

Somehow, Zhao Yun vigorously defended.

always wants to find an aspect that makes Liu Xiu unable to fight back.

"Loyal Minister"

Liu Xiu sneered again and again, a hero like Liu Bei turned out to be a loyal minister.

Zhao Yun said: "What, isn't it?"

Liu Xiu didn't believe that Liu Bei was a loyal minister at all, and said: "Liu Bei is a masterpiece in the world, and his ambition is no less than Cao Cao's. Hmph, his mind is not so simple. ”

Zhao Yun said: "The Son of Heaven calls the lord uncle and recognizes the lord. ”

Liu Xiu said: "At the beginning of Xu County, Liu Bei was close to the Son of Heaven and hoped that Liu Bei would help eradicate Cao Cao. However, after Liu Bei signed the edict, he immediately slipped away, so that Cao Cao was aware of it. If he was a loyal minister, why didn't he stay and resist Cao Cao. ”

Zhao Yun said: "The Cao thief is powerful and difficult to resist. ”

Liu Xiu sighed twice and said, "General Zilong, you trust Liu Bei too much. ”

Zhao Yun was not convinced, and asked rhetorically: "What kind of person does Master Xiu think, what kind of person is the lord?"

Liu Xiu said: "First, Liu Bei is not a man. ”

"You're not a man. Zhao Yun rolled his eyes, his eyes were even more disdainful, he didn't expect Liu Xiu to insult Liu Bei like this. He originally thought that Liu Xiu had excellent ability and brilliant writing, but now it seems that Liu Xiu has jealousy and hatred for Liu Bei, and his mind is too narrow-minded.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei was an official in Pingyuan County, and when he fled, he abandoned his wife and fled alone with Liu Guanzhang; lost Xuzhou, Liu Bei abandoned his wife and threw her to Lu Bu; after he was chased and killed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei abandoned his wife and turned to work for Yuan Shao. Along the way, Liu Bei had less time to throw away his wife for his own life, do you say, is he a man? ”

The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, Zhao Yun knew these things, but he just ignored them. Say it all and affect Liu Bei's image.

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "Second, Liu Bei is not a good subordinate. ”

Zhao Yundao: "Reason"

Liu Xiu's tone was heavy, and he said: "Liu Bei once worked for Gongsun Zhan, but later turned his back on Gongsun Zhan; Liu Bei once served for Taoqian in Xuzhou, but he led Xuzhou himself, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest; Liu Bei once served Cao Cao, resisted Yuan Shao, and rebelled against Cao Cao; Liu Bei worked for Yuan Shao, but fled halfway and went south to Runan. Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and went to Xinye to take root. Liu Bei raised troops and accumulated generals, self-contained system, and did not obey Jingzhou's dispatch. Is such a person a good subordinate?"

Zhao Yun explained: "The lord didn't find the master. ”

Liu Xiu said: "It's not that there is no master, it's because Liu Bei is unwilling to be subordinate." Every time he swore allegiance, he used others as stepping stones. Just like now, he used his father, and then expanded his army in Shinno. ”

Zhao Yun frowned, not knowing how to refute, and looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, full of hostility.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu suddenly felt quite bored, and he didn't bother to argue anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't argue, lest you say that I slander Liu Bei." You have followed Liu Bei for many years, and many things can be understood by thinking about it yourself. ”

Zhao Yun heard this, but did not speak.

The group didn't say anything all the way and went to the county seat
