Chapter XXVI The Acquisition of the County Office
The Liu family and the Zhang family are also considered big gateways in the county, there are many people in the family, and some things are not easy to discuss there, but Jian Yong's family is in ruins, and he is the only one living in the house.
Jian Yong greeted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and personally went to the well to get water and pour it for the two of them.
He didn't have a decent drink at home, so he could only put a few flowers and leaves in the pot and chat about seasoning, so as to entertain the two of them superficially.
Liu Bei was not in the mood to be polite with them slowly, and as soon as he came up, he picked up the important things that had happened in the past few days and told Jian Yong and Zhang Fei about them.
Liu Bei barely paused in the middle of this call, he just kept talking, talking non-stop.
After saying this, Liu Bei's mouth was dry, he reached out to take it, and drank all the water in it, leaving no drops.
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei was obviously a little confused.
It's no wonder that he is still young after all, and he coldly told him that he should prepare to go to the north to fight against Xianbei now, and he naturally couldn't accept it for a while.
Jian Yong gently wiped the table in front of him with his fingers, obviously having a soul.
"In other words, Ah Jian judged the death of Tanshi Huai from that Xianbei's mouth?"
"Yes, he also said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous in the world, grasp our efforts in one fell swoop, let our brothers prepare early, we also notified Su Shuang in advance, if there is no accident, Su Shuang and we should advance and retreat together in the future."
Jian Yong couldn't help clapping his hands when he heard this: "Su Shuang, hahaha, that puppet is very discerning." ”
Liu Bei completely agrees with this.
Jian Yong said again: "Xuande, this county has always been a hero in times of chaos, although it is dangerous, but with Ah Jian maneuvering around, it should be stable, how can you be worried?" Depressed? ”
What Jian Yong said, Liu Bei also knew that he was thinking about Liu Jian now.
"Ah Jian has been going to Gongsun Zhan's county office for a few days, I really can't rest assured, you say, will something happen?"
When Jian Yong and Zhang Fei heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Later, the two of them laughed together.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Bei was puzzled when he saw the two of them behaving like this.
Is there anything wrong with what you say?
When they were young, the two of them laughed enough, and Zhang Fei said directly: "Brother Xuande, it's not me who said, even I can think about this little thing!" How can you not think through it? ”
Liu Bei opened his mouth in surprise.
I have known Zhang Fei for more than two years, and it seems that it is the first time that he has thought of the front.
What a slap in the face!
"How can I not think through it?"
"Brother to that Gongsun Chan pointed out the way, not for nothing, he naturally has to take into account the benefits of a few of us, the Northern Expedition Xianbei, once a big victory, its own great military merits and fame fall on our heads, but out of the fortress to resist the enemy, is it a trivial matter, including where a few of us live in the Northern Expedition this time, what will happen to Gongsun Chan himself, whether the court will take advantage of this matter to raise troops, these are all things that need to be explored and planned."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The reason is very simple, what Zhang Fei can think of, he should be able to think of, but why is he still messing up?
"Yes, yes."
Jian Yong sighed helplessly: "Yes, Xuande, remember to care about the chaos, Ah Jian is in the official office, there is nothing to do, you stay at home, how can you mess up first?" It's not like you usually do things. ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly twice.
Jian Yong is right, it seems that it is indeed a matter of concern.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Zhang Fei listening attentively, and then said, "Someone is here outside the house!" ”
The three of them hurriedly got up and came to the outside of the house, and found that the person who came was Liu Jian.
He not only came alone, but also led a horse, it was the big green horse that he and Liu Bei took a fancy to in the market that day.
Liu Bei was very surprised when he saw this: "Isn't this the good guy in Su's hands?" Did Brother Gongsun really buy it and give it to you? ”
Liu Jian beckoned Zhang Fei to help him lead the horse, and said with a smile: "Gongsun Chan wants to become a big thing, why not a horse?" ”
Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to take the reins from Liu Jian's hand, and the horse seemed to be a little irritable when he saw that the reins had changed, swinging his head and neck back and forth in place, as if there was a hoof neighing.
It's a pity that although it is the male among horses, the person in front of him who is pulling the reins is the male among men and will never lose it.
Zhang Fei is very energetic, no matter how hard the big green horse tries, he can't be dragged by a bit.
Liu Jian saw it in his eyes and praised: "You still have the strength to do it!" I tamed him in the county office for three days before I could bring him out, and if you go to this station like an iron tower, this horse will have no spirit. ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he smiled dryly, full of pride.
Liu Jian said to the three of them: "I went home first, and when I saw that Ah Bei was not there, I estimated that you were here, I had already made an appointment with Su Shuang, and we would go to the western suburbs to herd the horses together, you pack up, and we will make the trip." ”
Although Liu Jian did not say it explicitly, Liu Bei and the others knew that he was planning to explain the results of his research with Gongsun Zan in the past few days to them.
So everyone immediately followed Liu Jian to the western suburbs in the name of walking horses.
And on the road leading from the county seat to the western suburbs, Su Shuang had been waiting there for a long time, even if he stood alone like a stake for a long time, he still had a signature smile on his face.
"Why is Deran late?"
Su Shuang said with a smile, not like a question, just a joke.
"Brother Su, don't blame, it's a little delayed to find my brothers."
"No blame, no blame, this big green horse can still ride?"
"Such a good horse, naturally riding, today I asked you to come here just to try the horse!"
With that, he looked around at everyone and said, "Just to test the horse!" ”
Everyone understood what Liu Jian meant, and nodded in response.
It's just a test horse, don't nag anything else! When asked, I have to say that.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Su Shuang, Liu Jian, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong rode around the suburbs one by one.
This horse is indeed a good horse, the speed is extremely fast, the strength is also stable, the horse's back is wide and not suitable to fall, and the end is a good horse that can go to the battlefield.
"Sure enough, it's a good horse like no other!"
After trying the horse, Liu Jian touched the mane on the neck of the big green horse, and said with a smile: "This time I went far away, with this good horse as a mount, I will never delay the hour!" ”
"Far away?"
When everyone heard this, they were quite surprised.
Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "Brother, I just came back from the county office, where are you going?" Don't forget, we still have a big deal to discuss right now. ”
"It is precisely because of this important event that I have to go far away, and this is also the agreement I reached with Gongsun Bogui in the past few days."
"Agreements?"
"yes, otherwise what do you think I've been here for three days?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "We all thought that my brother was in the county office, and he was entertained by Gongsun County Jun with a banquet for days. ”
"Haha, I've drunk the wine too, but I have to talk about business."
Among these people, Su Shuang is the most anxious about what Liu Jian is discussing in the county office, others are doing things for meritorious service, but he is for survival, and the starting point is completely different.
"Let's be quiet and listen to Liu Shaojun."
Liu Jian licked his dry lips and said: "Even if Tan Shihuai is seriously ill, it is not a trivial matter to fight with Xianbei, there are many veins that need to be opened, and many matters need me to help him, after all, it is not appropriate to leak the news to too many people now." ”
Zhang Fei snorted: "If Gongsun Chan wants to ask his brother for help, he has to let his brother have an identity?" ”
"Yes, so the result of my discussion with him was that he used this merit as a gimmick to recommend me to the Lu Mansion of Zhuo County, and the county office recruited me."
