If the reason why the fierce generals under Cao Meng's command followed him was that most of them died with the selfish intention of making meritorious contributions and getting ahead, then Liu De is undoubtedly the biggest outlier among them.

As a military advisor above the tens of thousands of people in Canghai, many people have imagined his extravagant days on weekdays, but until these people really saw Liu De's mansion in Canghai with their own eyes, they all showed a look of shock.

The so-called Liu De's mansion in the legend is nothing more than a remote adobe hut, the size is only more than ten acres square, placed in the whole territory of the sea, I am afraid that even a county magistrate can live more luxuriously than him.

When Cao Meng heard this statement at first, he smiled indifferently and didn't believe it much, but one day he personally rode a horse to the remote hut to discuss with Liu De, and only then did he really see his own military advisor wearing self-made straw shoes, carrying a wooden barrel, and watering the vegetable garden in the courtyard with a gourd scoop, and he was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse.

Afterwards, Cao Meng found out that the reason why Liu De was so poor was because he distributed most of his monthly income to the poor people, repaired the huts that were collapsed by heavy snow for them, built a school for their children, and invited a well-known private school teacher......

Cao Meng, who knew all this, had tears in his eyes, and he insisted on Liu De's hand and ordered to build an official residence for him on the spot.

However, Liu De shook his head, and even refused again and again afterwards, refusing Cao Meng's reward on the grounds that "the country is not yet rich, and the ministers often sleep in the official office, so there is no need to spend money on construction and waste".

To this day, Liu De still lives in that hut, wearing straw sandals woven by himself, watering his own vegetable garden.

This man from a down-and-out family has obviously never been favored by anyone, but in his heart, it seems that he only thinks about saving the world and saving the suffering people from beginning to end.

Looking back at the past, Liu De walked into the capital of Canghai for the first time, in this thousands of miles of frozen northern land, he went all the way into the official office of Canghai Kingdom, his voice was as cold as ice, but it was far more passionate than the sound of swords colliding.

"I am willing to be the stone under the feet of the lord of the country, to become the will of the lord of the country, to return the world to peace, to return the people to peace, and to break my bones at any cost!"

It was also from that day that Cao Meng's command had such a military advisor sacrificing wine, and under the national policy implemented by Liu De, Canghai's strength was even more thriving, and it gradually showed a trend of plotting the world.

And his two sworn brothers, they are rare fierce generals in the world, Guan Changyu and Zhang Yi have been fighting on the grassland for many years, and everywhere they go, the northern barbarian tribes are all submissive and subservient, even the Tamuzhen, who is also in the realm of grandmasters, has to let him score three points.

It's been more than ten years, right?

Cao Meng looked at Liu De and showed a faint smile, but then he seemed to think of something, and he felt a little chilly, with a slightly cold brow, he said softly: "This brother, why are you so afraid of us? Where are you from?"

Uncle Ji saw the Northern Barbarian war horse led by the three of them, and became more and more flustered: "I...... I'm not from somewhere, I'm really not from somewhere, I'm just a ...... The ...... of farming"

Liu De smiled slightly, probably guessed something, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, we are not Canghai people, we are just travelers from Jingwu, and these war horses are just bought from those Northern Barbarians......"

"Bought?" Uncle Ji was also a little skeptical, but after looking at Liu De carefully, he did see a little bit of the characteristics of a southerner from the outline of his gentle face, and finally felt a little relieved, and then carefully shifted his gaze to Cao Meng and Guan Changyu.

Cao Meng and Guan Changyu were born in the Central Plains, and they have no blood relationship with the Northern Barbarians, so no matter how closely they observe, they can't find out the appearance of the barbarians.

Seeing that Uncle Ji was relaxed, Liu De struck while the iron was hot and asked, "In that case, fellow, can you tell me where you are from?"

"Scared the hell out of me...... I thought it was those northern barbarians. Uncle Ji also let out a long sigh, "Recently, those Northern Barbarians have been killing people everywhere, and they are still ...... Robbing money and robbing people, I have a distant relative in the same village who works in the county seat, and because he was a little more delicate, he was actually taken captive by a barbarian, and when he came back the next day, he threw himself into the well......"

After hearing this, Liu De's face immediately felt a little shocked, and then he raised his eyes to look at Cao Meng, facing the eyes that were as cold as a tiger and wolf.

Everyone said that the Lord of Canghai was the Tiger of the North, and these eyes, as if they were dealing with this title, really carried a cold killing intent.

"What's the name of that barbarian you're talking about?" Cao Meng said indifferently.

Uncle Ji was still cowardly, and he didn't even dare to look at Cao Meng, he only dared to face Liu De, and tried hard to spit out the awkward pronunciation of the barbarian's name: "It seems to be called...... What kind of Mick is folded? No, it should be folded leather?"

Although he only said a general pronunciation, Cao Meng's eyes quickly flashed with a gleam, and the atmosphere around him suddenly cooled.

Of course, Cao Meng knew what that name was, not Zhemik, nor Zhepige, but called Jebeg, in the barbarian language, this name means archer, and this Jebeg is indeed the most valued archer under his command.

Among the ten thousand armies, the cultivators are often engulfed by the army in battles with each other, and it is difficult to really meet, but the archers are different, Jebeg's cultivation is only the realm of a small grandmaster, reliable with unpredictable archery skills, and the small grandmaster masters who died in his hands, as many as sixteen people, can be regarded as a fierce general with high hard work.

After entering Hongguan from Canghai, the army under his command naturally needed to arrange troops to be stationed everywhere in order to face the possible counterattack of the Mo family, but what he didn't expect was that even though he had repeatedly told his subordinates not to disturb the people, there were still people who took his words as a deaf ear.

And Guan Changyu, who has always disdained to hide his feelings, snorted coldly when he heard Uncle Ji's words: "What is Jebege? He actually started adultery and plunder? Such a person is also worthy of being my soldier in the sea?"

"It's hard to talk nonsense. Uncle Ji was also a little afraid when he looked at Guan Changyu, a big man, but because he was so righteous and outspoken, he felt a little good in his heart, shook his head and said, "If a few of you have traveled here, you should be cautious and speak, in case you are listened to by that Jebeg's minions, it will not be good." ”

"Heh, I'm still afraid that he won't be ......"

"The second brother stopped first. Liu De calmly waved his hand to stop Guan Changyu's angry scolding, then looked at Cao Meng, and said in a voice that Uncle Ji could barely hear: "The lord of the country ......"

At this moment, Cao Meng looked so calm, standing in the vast snow in a dark body, his waist was straight, and his deep eyes seemed to absorb the dazzling pure white in the snow, which made people unable to see what he was thinking at this time.

"Let's not talk about it for a while, I came out to hunt, so I will find wine to drink first, and put those things aside for the time being. Cao Meng suddenly waved his hand, walked to Uncle Ji's side casually and chicly, patted Uncle Ji's shoulder vigorously with one hand, and said with a smile: "Fellow, I don't know if I can go to the village to ask for a drink?"

The valley covered in snow is empty and quiet, and the mountains that surround it seem to embrace the clear sky.

The three of them led the war horses and followed Uncle Ji all the way over several low hills, and saw the smoke of the village in the distance slowly rising into the air, as if a few ink colors were dotted in this plain white, which was very freehand.

At this time, most of the villagers were still burning firewood at home to keep warm, and there were few people walking outside, so a few people went all the way to Uncle Ji's house.

At the beginning, Aunt Qing also looked nervous when she saw that she was dressed luxuriously and was leading the war horse of the Northern Barbarians, but under Uncle Ji's explanation, she quickly accepted the three of them, and even took the initiative to send a jar of self-brewed rice wine to the three of them.

Because she hadn't slept all night, Aunt Qing's face was haggard, and she smiled at the three of them and said, "I can't bear to make so much grain wine, so the wine brewed is also light, don't mind." ”

Liu De shook his head, smelled the smell of rice wine, and said with a smile on his face: "Where, warm some rice wine in winter, just to warm up, but spirits are not necessary." ”

"That's good, that's good. Aunt Qing showed the simple smile of a peasant woman and said, "I'll go and fry two dishes for you again, so I can eat wine." ”

With that, he lifted the cloth that covered the door and walked out.

Inside the house, Liu De beckoned the two of them to sit down slowly, and at the same time put the wine jar on the charcoal stove that had just burst into flames.
