However.

Zang Ba's battle like this not only couldn't scare Liu Bei, but made Liu Bei see Zang Ba's weakness.

Liu Bei was born in a horse, how could he be afraid of this little bit of sword soldiers?

"Captain Zang, are you preparing to be an enemy of Qingzhou?"

Liu Bei sat down calmly, his face did not change, but his eyes were a little more stern.

Behind Liu Bei, Guan Hai and the others also held down the hilt of the sword one after another.

As soon as these words came out, Zang Ba and Sun Guan's faces were a little ugly.

Liu Bei is too calm!

Calm as if he didn't take the swords seriously.

Looking at the Yang Duling outside, I was already panicked!

"Liu Tingshi is so courageous, but this is Langya Country, not your Qingzhou!" Zang Ba's tone was also three points heavier.

Liu Bei's tone did not change: "Captain Zang, Tao Tingshi has already given me the right to govern some counties and townships in Langya Country, so do you want to inquire whether the Qingzhou soldiers have been stationed in Langya Country?" ”

Zang Ba's eyes also sank, and he subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

I wanted to give myself some momentum when I came to see Liu Bei, but I never thought that the momentum I thought was not taken seriously in front of Liu Bei's eyes.

Zang Ba gritted his teeth and restrained his anger: "Does Liu Tingshi really want to be like this?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei got up, and didn't give Zang Ba the slightest room for bargaining: "Since Captain Zang has made up his mind, let's see you on the battlefield." ”

"Presumably you also brought soldiers here, and if you win, you don't have to care about Qingzhou's attitude."

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude being so tough, he directly shouted that the battlefield was higher or lower, and Zang Ba was suddenly a little confused.

Really want to fight?

Although Zang Ba was angry, he was not really prepared to compete with Liu Bei on the battlefield.

"Liu Envoy Jun is slow!"

Sun Guan spoke out in time and called Liu Bei, who had half of his feet out of the threshold.

Liu Bei's reaction was the worst result that Sun Guan expected when he came.

Deliberately provoke and seek an opportunity to send troops!

If it really reaches this level, Tao Qian will also take the opportunity to send troops in order to maintain his alliance with Liu Bei.

When the time comes, how can a mere Kaiyang City stop Liu Bei and Tao Qian from joining forces?

Even, there will be people in Kaiyang City who will open the city gate and sacrifice Zang Ba and Sun Guan to seek fame.

"What advice does Captain Sun have?" Liu Bei turned his head, his eyes were still stern: "I still have a lot of important things, and I don't have time to play with you here." ”

Play

Sun Guan held back his anger and kept admonishing himself to be patient.

In Sun Guan's eyes, Liu Bei is using the method of agitation at the moment.

As long as Zang Ba and Sun Guan make the first move, then Liu Bei will have a reason to raise Qingzhou soldiers to the south.

Such a consequence is not something that Sun Guan can bear at present.

"Liu Tingshi misunderstood, this time I came with Zang Shuai to ask Liu Tingshi about the art of Anmin." Sun Guan was in a hurry and found a reason.

At the same time, Sun Guan secretly speculated about Zang Ba.

Although Zang Ba was angry in his heart, he also knew that once Liu Bei really walked out of this door, it would mean that he would not die in the future.

Haha laughed, Zang Ba tried to defuse the tense atmosphere: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Tingshi is bold, I didn't believe it, but when I see it today, I underestimate the heroes of the world." ”

"Put away your knives and go out without a scabbard?" Zang Ba scolded the strong soldiers around him.

Liu Bei returned to his seat again and sat down: "Since you have the heart to ask for the art of Anmin, it is okay to delay a little time." ”

In just a few words, Zang Ba and Sun Guan have completely fallen into disadvantage.

Although it is a system of its own in Kaiyang, it does not listen to the announcement, but after all, it can't compare with the general trend.

Under the general trend of the entire Qingzhou, how can the small city of Kaiyang resist?

Then.

Zheng Ping said: "Zang Duwei and Sun Duwei, the envoy went south this time to help the villagers, so no thieves will be allowed to plot against the villagers. ”

"The two lieutenants are willing to open a charity shed to help the villagers along the way, which is a benevolent act, which makes Jun Ben admire."

"The reason why Captain Zang came to Yangdu City in person is not because you intend to put pressure on you, but because you praised you yesterday as benevolent and righteous people, and I want to discuss with you in person about the military camp in Kaiyang City."

"Tao Thorn Shi Ken's resettlement of these 100,000 villagers is to make the gentleman give the "Book of Sheng", "Four People's Moon Order" and Quyuan plough manufacturing method, which can help Tao Thorn Shi have a bumper grain harvest in the coming year."

"The envoy is ready to treat this as a meeting gift today, but he never thought that you would actually put a grand banquet for the envoy."

"Hmph, shouldn't I say: A thief is a thief, even if he becomes a lieutenant, is he still a thief?"

Zheng Ping's coaxing and frightening suddenly made Zang Ba and Sun Guan stunned.

Carefully reviewing the messenger's answer, Zang Ba suddenly had a sense of guilt that "the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman".

After all, Zang Ba was angry because the messenger didn't even see Liu Bei's face, and subconsciously felt that going to see Liu Bei in person would hurt his face, so he brought troops to Yangdu City in anger.

Now when I heard that Liu Bei praised himself yesterday, he was ready to give gifts today, but he was out of the sheath here, who would have a good face?

Zang Ba glanced at Sun Guan, and hurriedly left the table and got up to apologize to Liu Bei: "We are ignorant and offended the envoy, and please forgive us for our reckless and rude crimes." ”

Liu Bei got up and helped Zang Ba and Sun Guan up, and his tone eased: "Presumably yesterday I was too tired and neglected the messenger of the captain, so that the two captains misunderstood." ”

"Here, Bei also apologizes to the two of you."

After speaking, Liu Bei bowed to Zang Ba and Sun Guan is bow.

"Don't do that!" Zang Ba and Sun Guan subconsciously bred a sense of emotion, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Bei.

This will be heart-to-heart.

If he exchanged identities with Liu Bei, Zang Ba didn't think that he could be like Liu Bei, and he would take the initiative to return the gift and make amends.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it's all his rudeness.

"Liu Thorn Shi Houde, it's really shameful that we speculate with the heart of a villain." Zang Ba and Sun Guan sighed secretly.

Moment.

Liu Bei waved his hand, leaving only Zheng Ping and letting Guan Hai and the others withdraw from the door.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan also hurriedly asked the strong soldiers around them to retreat.

"Envoy, I don't know what you just said about Juntun?" Zang Ba's eyes and voice were no longer arrogant.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Juntun is a kind of tuntian, which is mostly used to organize soldiers on the border to cultivate fields and be self-sufficient. ”

"Now that there are no Yellow Turban bandits in Qingxu, it is a good time for Juntun."

"Captain Zang has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command, and there is no place for them for the time being. If left unchecked, there may be people who are idle and cause trouble. ”

"It's better to organize them together and work together in Tuntian, Kaiyang County."

"It is profitable, and it is bound by laws and regulations, so Captain Zang's soldiers and horses will naturally no longer cause trouble and harass the villagers."

"And I have the Book of Victory, the Four Peoples Moon Order, and the Quyuan Plough Manufacturing Method, which can multiply the grain."

"When the time comes, no matter whether Captain Zang is raising the army or helping the people, he will be able to have extra money and food."

"I heard that Ling Zun was also an honest and upright person, such a glorious lintel, presumably Zang Duwei will not miss it."

Zang Ba was immediately moved.

Money and food are needed to raise soldiers, but money and food will not appear in Zang Ba's hands by themselves.

Therefore, part of Zang Ba's money and food came from Tao Qian, part of it came from the apportionment of the wealthy families in Kaiyang County and the taxes paid by the people, and part of it came from looting.

But these sources are not very stable.

And now Liu Bei pointed out a clear path to Zang Ba, which made Zang Ba suddenly think more.

Tuntian Fa Zang Ba knows, but Zang Ba doesn't know how to Tuntian.

Now with Liu Bei's gift of "The Book of Sheng", "The Order of the Four Peoples" and the Quyuan plough manufacturing method, Zang Ba feels that this Tuntian seems to be feasible!

"Zhongtai, what do you think?" Zang Ba approached Sun Guan and asked what Sun Guan thought.

Sun Guan is also weighing the pros and cons.

Long.

Sun looked at Liu Bei and said in a condensed voice: "Liu Tingshi, with all due respect!" I don't believe there are free benefits in this world. ”

"Liu Tingshi helps us so much, but what are the conditions?"

"Let me state first, if we are allowed to defect to Qingzhou, it is impossible!"

"Tao Thorn Shi treats me with kindness, and we will not betray it for no reason."

In Kaiyang, he is used to becoming a family, and Sun Guan doesn't want to be constrained by Liu Bei because of this.

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "I, Liu Xuande, act, how can I ask for benefits for no reason?" It was only because he saw the two captains open a righteous shed, so it was determined that the two captains were benevolent and righteous people. ”

"Reconciling the villagers in Qingzhou who have been displaced by hunger and cold is not something that can be done in the short term."

"If you are really selfish, it is to hope that after the autumn harvest next year, the two captains will have a benevolent heart and sell some grain and rice to Qingzhou."

"That's enough, I'm going to do that!"

Seeing that Liu Bei cherished the suffering of the villagers' hunger and cold, Sun Guan suddenly felt ashamed, and hugged his fists and said: "Make Jun Rende!" It's Sun Guan who has a lot of heart. ”

Zheng Ping's technique of first soldiers and then salute created an opportunity for Liu Bei to win over Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Although he is calculating, Liu Bei is not a pedantic person.

sang and harmonized with Zheng Ping, and dispelled the turbulent momentum of Zang Ba and Sun Guan when they came.

"Today, I know that Xuande Gong is a true gentleman!"

Zang Ba and Sun Guan didn't know how they got out of the city, and their minds were still echoing the conversation with Liu Bei.

"Zang Shuai, Sun Shuai."

Wu Dun and Yin Li greeted them.

Yin Li followed the gears up: "Do you want to enter Yangdu City and capture Liu Beisheng?" ”

"Shut up, how can you call Xuande Gong by name?" Zang Ba and Sun Guan scolded in unison.

All of a sudden.

Wu Dun and Yin Li were stunned.

What's the situation?

When I went here, I was out of the sheath, and when I came back, I was like a different person?

Yin Li was a little aggrieved: "Zang Shuai, that Xuan, Xuande Gong"

Zang Ba coughed lightly twice to resolve the embarrassment: "From now on, Kaiyang City and Qingzhou will be friendly and mutually helpful, and after the two brothers go back, they must restrain their subordinates and stop plundering the people." ”

"Otherwise, Hugh blames Ben Shuai for not remembering the old feelings, and will bring them to justice."

Wu Dun and Yin Li didn't understand it even more.

What the hell is going on!

Sun Guan saw that Wu Dun and Yin Li became more and more confused the more they listened, and chuckled: "Let's go back to the camp and talk about it, you can understand that Xuande Gong has promised us many benefits, and we will all be friends in the future." ”

Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at each other, but they didn't ask any more questions.

And in Yangdu City.

After sending Zang Ba and Sun Guan away, Liu Bei was also ready to return to Linzi City.

The purpose of going south has been accomplished, and there are some unexpected joys, which makes Liu Bei feel that he has gained a lot.

Hearing that Liu Bei and Zheng Ping were going to return to Linzi City, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang hurriedly came to the city gate to see each other off.

"Brother, when the foolish brother recovers, he will definitely come to Zicheng as soon as possible." Zhuge Jin was a little reluctant.

If it weren't for the occasional cold, Zhuge Jin wouldn't have to stay in Yangdu City.

But the world is like chess, and it is unpredictable.

If Zhuge Jin hadn't been infected with the wind and cold, he wouldn't have met Liu Bei and Zheng Ping by chance, let alone what happened later.

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Ah Jin doesn't need to worry, Jun's wedding date is approaching, and I will send someone to greet you when you come to Pingyuan County first." ”

Zhuge Jin was taken aback: "The marriage date of the envoy? Then Ah Jin also has to prepare some gifts. ”

Liu Bei also smiled: "Don't be too grand, just get your heart." ”

Looking at Zhuge Liang next to Zhuge Jin, who was no longer confused and had become chic and free, Liu Bei's concern in his heart was even stronger: "Ah Liang, you are also good at resignation, you have to send me a congratulatory message when the time comes." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled pleasantly: "Since it is the envoy's wedding gift, Ah Liang naturally has to give a congratulatory message!" Won't forget. ”

Liu Bei laughed heartily: "That's very good! It's windy outside, Ah Jin Ah Liang, you guys go back early, don't freeze anymore. Don't leave it at that! ”

"Congratulations to the envoy!" Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang saluted together.

Liu Bei laughed, and Le Ma turned around: "Let's go!" ”

The horse's hooves trampled on the dust, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Ah Liang, you have high hopes for you, don't you be unable to write a congratulatory message when the time comes." Zhuge Jin exhaled deeply and quipped.

Zhuge Liang turned around in a dashing manner: "Brother, let's think about how to prepare a gift for the envoy, don't lose the etiquette of the Zhuge family again, and let the foolish brother come to the rescue." ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "This matter, Ah Liang, don't keep mentioning it." ”

After Liu Bei and Zheng Ping left, the scholars of Yangdu City gradually left.

This time, during the trip to Yangdu City, all the scholars saw the benevolent name of Liu Xuande in Qingzhou up close, and they were deeply touched.

The other side.

Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong rode their horses outside the city gate.

"Brother Zigang, Brother Zibu, are you really not going to Linzi City with me?" Zhao Yu was a little puzzled, why did these two friends suddenly change their minds again.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Yuanda, you had the idea of going to Linzi early, but Brother Zigang and I have to go back to Guangling County to settle down with our families, so we can't just go to Linzi City with you, right?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "It's my negligence, the foolish brother is waiting for the arrival of the two brothers in Linzi City, and when the two brothers come, the foolish brother will go to ask for help." ”

Zhang Hong raised his whip and smiled helplessly: "Yuan Da, are you worried that we will regret it?" When did you become so cunning too! ”

Zhao Yu didn't think twice: "Since the master is now, he naturally wants to advance and retreat with his friends." ”

And in the East Side.

Lu Su had already returned home quickly.

"Grandmother, let's go to Qingzhou!"

Seeing that Lu Su was in full swing, the old lady couldn't help but reprimand: "Asu, you will be crowned in two years, why are you still so frizzy?" ”

"What are you doing in Qingzhou, isn't this Dongcheng good?"
