Han Ning and Han Xiaodie didn't think about it so much, they knew that Liu Bei didn't want to take a concubine, and there would be no new women to compete with them for Liu Bei's favor, and that would be enough.

But Liu Bei's consideration will always have to be one more layer.

Early the next morning, before Liu Bei went to handle official business, he wrote a letter and sent it back to Luoyang to his mother, explaining his position.

The seat of the woman next to him is a precious political resource for others, and for him, it is also an important resource for obtaining hardcore help, and giving it in large quantities will only dilute the value of this resource, making it cheap and meaningless.

It's not worth it.

After writing this letter, Liu Bei thought about it, and it seemed that it was time for [group message] to contact everyone again.

As the first warm man in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei thought that it was a very bad thing not to communicate with relatives and friends for a long time, so he took a little time to write letters to those relatives and friends who were far away in Luoyang City to contact their feelings.

After the group message ended, Liu Bei remembered Cao Cao who was still in Luoyang, and felt that it was time to have some operations after the year, and to fool Cao Cao as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao, who was really talented, would become an important main force in his governance of Liangzhou.

Before Liu Bei prepared to operate on Cao Cao, the arrival of Cheng Pu and Han Dang surprised Liu Bei.

Cheng Pu came over, it was not impossible in Liu Bei's imagination, but Han Dang ...... Liu Bei hasn't had any contact with him.

Is it buy one get one free?

Then, Cheng Pu described the causes and consequences of this incident in detail, and Liu Bei almost knew the origin of this matter.

"It turns out that something like this happened, it seems that Sun Wentai is a character, but that's just it, Demou, your choice is right, and you, Yigong, your choice is also right."

Han looked ashamed.

"As a subordinate, I can't correct the mistakes of my superiors, this is a dereliction of duty as a subordinate, the prince doesn't blame me, and is willing to take me in, this is the greatest reward for me."

Liu Bei smiled.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it was Sun Wentai who did wrong, you have done what you can, you are competent, no one can blame you, since you are willing to believe in me and defect to me, I will not let you down."

Cheng Pu and Han Dang expressed their gratitude to Liu Bei together.

Subsequently, Liu Bei decided to appoint Cheng Pu and Han Dang to the positions of military commanders.

Liu Bei said that although they are very talented, they are new to the city, and they can't be promoted too quickly, and it will be much easier to establish their merits with the position of military Sima first, and then seek promotion, which will also help them gain a firm foothold.

Both said they had no objections.

In the end, Liu Bei saw that Cheng Pu seemed to want to ask him but was not easy to speak, and he also had some guesses in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Something else you want to ask me?"

Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed embarrassedly.

"You see that?"

"I guess, what you want to know is whether I have a dislike for Sun Wentai because of what happened before, right?"

"Forehead ......"

Cheng Pu looked at Han Dang, swallowed his saliva, and nodded tentatively.

"If it's inconvenient for you to say it, don't say it."

"That's not good, if you have doubts, you have to answer them, hold it in your heart, something will happen."

Liu Bei smiled: "That's right, I really don't want to have any contact with Sun Wentai anymore because of that incident, the words I said to you before are all meaningless and boastful words, to say that I don't care at all, it's impossible." ”

"That's ......"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang looked at each other again, and then lowered their heads together.

Liu Bei laughed when he saw the two of them.

"What? Think I'm mean? ”

"Don't dare!"

The two spoke in unison, for fear that Liu Bei would misunderstand, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to defend themselves, but were stopped by Liu Bei.

"Since I said it, I won't mind what you think of me, because I think this is a very normal thing, Sun Wentai's position, or I left the relationship to help him dredge, it is not for me to help Zhu Gong operate in the face, purely I went for him as a person.

I first met Sun Wentai at the celebration banquet of Taiping Road, I had a good impression of him, I thought he was very heroic, very bold, and I worked hard from the bottom, I knew how difficult it was, so I thought about reaching out and pulling him.

You should know about this matter, so you should also understand me, I admire Sun Wentai and am willing to promote him, it has little to do with Zhu Gong, it is pure kindness, so after that, Sun Wentai went to follow Zhou Shen without the slightest hesitation, this matter made me feel cold.

Any kindness cannot be a one-sided effort, it must be rewarded, so as to prove that my contribution is meaningful, and the payment that is not rewarded is stupid, and wise people will not do such a thing, not to mention that in Luoyang, people who will do this kind of thing will die quickly. ”

Cheng Pu and Han Dang were speechless.

They knew that what Liu Bei said was right.

Liu Bei's promotion of Sun Jian was really not for Zhu Jun's face, Liu Bei didn't know Zhu Jun at that time, and he had already helped Sun Jian, and they all knew this at the time.

"It's really not your problem."

"You didn't do anything wrong, we know it."

The two expressed their views one after another.

Liu Bei sighed helplessly.

"A lot of kindness was in vain, so that I could see the essence of Sun Wentai's unkindness, even if a person can't do it, he should have a clear understanding of himself, what should be done and what should not be done, it should be clear.

Sun Wentai didn't, I feel that he has never put his position clearly, he has never realized that with his background and situation, he can come to this point, he is already a noble person helping him, I am deeply touched, I am grateful to everyone who has helped me, but what about him? ”

"The prince values love and righteousness, it is really a model for my generation, in the future, I am willing to follow the prince and go to the soup for the prince, and I will not hesitate!"

Cheng Pu was deeply touched and expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei.

Han Dang, who was not good at words, didn't care about anything else and saluted Liu Bei.

"I am willing to follow the prince and serve the prince!"

Liu Bei patted the two of them on the shoulder.

"We are all Youzhou people, each of us also has our own unfortunate experience, in the future, let's build a meritorious career together, in the future, glory to return to our hometown, so that the family, the clansmen, the old, are proud of us, isn't it the bliss of life?"

Liu Bei painted a beautiful blueprint for them.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang's faces couldn't help but show a wistful smile.

Yes, isn't it the best way to satisfy one's most primitive desires by showing one's identity, power, and achievements in front of one's family, clansmen, and old ones?

If you are human, you will have a little vanity.

Liu Bei has.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang also have it.
