Chapter Twenty-Three: Just a Sword
Liu Bei's face quickly sank.
Zhao Yun is a righteous brother to him, so he can live and die together, how can he be an outsider?
He glanced at the arrogant General Meng Cheng in front of him, patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, and said, "Fourth brother, you can rest here for a while, and wait for your brother to meet General Meng!" ”
Although the probability is very small, Zhao Yun is still very worried that Meng Cheng is not good for Liu Bei, so he wants to protect him.
But seeing Liu Bei's eyes, he quickly responded, but his heart was extremely warm.
When Fang Cai's brother Liu Bei said this, he especially called him the "fourth brother", obviously telling others that he Zhao Yun was not an ordinary entourage, and he had the meaning of a correct name, and this kind of maintenance was full of details.
But who knew that Meng became a personal general, and he made a trick again: "The general's status is noble, and there is this sword ......"
"This sword, put it in my fourth brother's hand first!" Liu Bei was not annoyed at all, and deliberately said loudly.
Then, Liu Bei gave the two soldiers at the door a look, and in an instant, the two carried the big box and followed inside.
When I came to Meng Cheng's office, this place looked quite depressed from the outside, but after stepping in, there was nothing special.
The inside was covered with all kinds of decorations, and it was gorgeous, and there was a woman's voice in the most beautiful house.
This place was originally a military capital, where important military aircraft were located, Meng Cheng was like this, not only ignoring military regulations and laws and disciplines, but also acting recklessly. Now is the current war, doesn't it make people worry and angry.
In today's Han world, I don't know how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials like Meng Cheng are like this, bullying his subordinates and occupying the pit and not.
Liu Bei was even more worried that this Meng Cheng behaved like this, even if Zhonglang really sent some secret military order to Meng Yi, he was afraid that he would sell Meng Cheng to Zhang Ju.
It is no wonder that under the joint efforts of Gongsun Zan and Meng Yi, after the defeat of the two Zhang, they were able to escape smoothly, and finally died at the hands of their own guests under the reward of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou.
Just like right now, Meng Yi sent the more than 1,000 horses he led to attack and test Zhang Ju's strategic rear first, maybe he knew it early, and was waiting for him Liu Bei to step in!
"Liu Sima, please wait a moment, my general will come out immediately!"
After Liu Bei's soldiers put down the things and went out, Meng Cheng's relatives had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of yin and yang weirdness.
Fang Cai waited for so long, and it was not bad for a moment and a half, Liu Bei quietly sat down on the small case on the side.
A quarter of an hour later, Meng Cheng's body was covered with the smell of rouge and walked out of the back house.
This person was sluggish, looking old, with a pair of triangular eyes, when looking at people, he used to squint, his eyes were first on the wooden box in the corner of the wall, and then transferred to Liu Bei's face, holding his posture, and said in a deep voice: "You are the county lieutenant of Anxi, for the Duke of Meng, to carry out this mission?"
The map of public opinion has seen that the military capital is close to Anle, but it is an important source of food and grass for your troops to the front. ”
Meng Cheng almost said, I take care of your life, if the bribe is less, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust.
Liu Bei still had a unique kind and soft smile on his face, and replied: "Because of this, after Bei arrived in the military capital, he came to meet the garrison general for the first time, and also prepared gifts. ”
Hearing this, Meng Cheng no longer pretended, and came directly to the wooden box, and after opening it, he saw that it was filled with coins, not gold, silver and jade, and his face was gloomy and about to drip water: "Liu Xuande, are you kidding me?"
With these, can you also buy you to accept the lives of those dogs?
It's almost too much to feed the dogs! ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei's smile had already retracted, and he shot quickly, and before Meng Cheng could react, he had already pulled out the long sword he was wearing and pointed it at Meng Cheng's throat.
Just now, he just glanced at it, and he saw that the military capital guards the generals, and the level of six-grade generals, but the attributes are similar to those of seven-grade generals, which is a reluctant breakthrough, and there are only three martial arts, and there are many auxiliaries, which shows the difference in qualifications.
Therefore, Liu Bei was not afraid at all.
And seeing that this Meng Cheng was insatiable for money and money, and after "etiquette" was not good, Liu Bei decisively moved "martial arts".
"Liu Xuande, do you want to rebel? Dare to treat the guards of the DPRK and China like this! Don't let me go! ”
When Meng Cheng reacted, he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were already round, and beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.
Liu Bei's hand was very steady, not worried at all, the end of the sword would pierce Meng Cheng's throat, those eyes that seemed soft, and said very seriously at this time: "General Meng, if you are on the battlefield at this time, you are already dead!" ”
The word "dead man" was said by Liu Bei, and the sword in his hand unconsciously moved forward half an inch, and Meng Cheng instantly felt that there was blood left in his throat.
He suddenly panicked and begged for mercy: "Sima Liu, one of them must ...... There must be some misunderstanding, but please sit down and talk.
Your troops attacked the rear of that lift, this matter Zhonglang will have written to me, in this cooperation, I will definitely do my best, what Fang just said, is really just a joke! ”
In Liu Bei's exploration, this Meng Cheng is not only greedy for money, but also timid and afraid of death.
He grasped this point, coupled with the rapid improvement of his realm during this period of time, this talent was bold and decisive.
Hearing this, Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Liu doesn't like jokes, in the big event of peace and tranquility, the general is still like this, it can be seen that he is on weekdays." As Liu just said, to kill you, you only need a sword!
Does General Meng believe it or not? ”
Meng Cheng hurriedly said: "Believe, believe in the next!" Please also ask Liu Sima to raise his noble hand ......"
Without waiting for Meng Cheng to finish speaking, Liu Bei said again: "It's very simple, but please general, 1,500 people in our department will arrange a month's military rations, and I will take it today, this matter, Liu will eliminate this misunderstanding!" ”
"This ......" Meng Cheng had already scolded Liu Bei half to death in his heart, and he was already narrow-minded, and he was also thinking about how to take revenge on Liu Bei.
pinched Liu Bei's weakness, and he didn't worry that he would have no chance in the future, so he would get it back a hundred times.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei didn't eat this set, and directly threatened him to ask for grain and grass.
Noticing that Meng Cheng was delaying time, and with a bit of luck, Liu Bei's long sword couldn't help but enter a little more.
"Forty military rations, what does the general think?"
Liu Bei's eyes were motionless, and Meng Cheng's neck was a little chilly.
This big-eared general, how dare you kill him!
Some money is really not that easy to get!
After a few breaths of confrontation, Meng Cheng saw a resolute look in Liu Bei's eyes, if he hesitated like this, he was afraid that he would add more, and he already regarded Liu Bei as a dead man in his heart, and said silently: This big-eared general, I will endure him, give him how to do it first, and then torture him slowly afterwards.
"Okay, Liu Sima, forty days is forty days, I will write immediately, you can go to your department to get forty days of grain and grass according to my order."
Meng Cheng gave this condition, thinking that Liu Bei would let go of the sword in his hand, but Liu Bei did not let go.
