After Liu Bei received that Qi Jiguang and others had occupied Luoyang, he was overjoyed. He had entered and exited Luoyang several times, but left with regret, and now he finally occupied the capital.

"It is said that Qi Jiguang was ordered to guard Luoyang, Hanoi, and Hedong. Zhang He, Xu Huang, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong listened to orders under Qi Jiguang's account. Han Shizhong can expand the navy to 2 people and carry out coalition forces and patrols in Mianchi, Xieliang and other places. , the local Xiliang army attacked our army in Hexi and other places. It was reported that Di Renjie had gone to Luoyang to take charge of the management of the three places."

Liu Bei thought for a while and decided not to summon. Firstly, there are not many summoning opportunities now, and there is only one ordinary summoning opportunity and 390 summoning points left. Secondly, it is also because Luoyang, Hanoi, and Hedong have suffered less wars and disasters. , the foundation itself is better than Bingzhou and other places, so Di Renjie alone is enough to manage these three places properly, and wait until he returns from Youzhou before calling.

Just after Liu Bei gave these instructions, Liu Bowen came to report that the envoy of Liu Che from Youzhou had arrived and was waiting at the door. He was still an acquaintance. When Liu Bei heard that there was still an acquaintance in Youzhou, he immediately became interested and wanted to Find out who it is.

After Liu Bei came to the hall and sat down, he ordered his servants to bring the envoy from Youzhou to the hall. Not long after, he saw a man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar coming to the hall. Although he was dressed in common clothes, he could not hide his extraordinary intelligence.

Liu Bei looked at this person blankly. Although he didn't have the ability of photographic memory, he still remembered talented people in his heart, and he didn't have this person in front of him in his impression.

"The envoy of Youzhou, Jushou, has met Lord Liu Bei."

As soon as he heard that it was Jushou, Liu Bei immediately knew who this person was. This person was the one who instigated the Taihang bandits to send troops to attack Jinyang when he was exterminating the Jurchen. I just disappeared, and I never thought that I would seek refuge with Liu Che. It's really an impermanent world.

"Ju Shou, I didn't look for you, but you sent me to my door. At the beginning, my base camp was almost captured by thieves under your scheme. Now that you have come to my place, are you here to accept the crime?"

"Back to Mr. Liu Bei, I have long expected that the Taihang bandits are not the opponents of your army, but these bandits have been raging around by relying on geographical advantages, and it is difficult to be wiped out. Under the rule of Mr. Xialiaoding, these bandits cannot exist, so I will make a small plan Then lure these thieves out of the mountain, and Lord Liu Bei doesn't need to worry about trivial matters."

"Now, I am here to represent Lord Liu Che to discuss the war with the Xiongnu army with your army. Lord Liu Bei must not have cared about those trivial matters back then."

Hearing Jushou's remarks, Liu Bei almost went berserk on the spot. Obviously the plan failed, but he was said to be helping him to lure the thieves. I should thank him for my feelings, but as a prince, I really can't punish Jushou's crime at this time , otherwise it will damage the reputation.

"What a glib mouth, you can tell what is black is white. Now that you come here alone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? You must know that this is in my territory, and you can make up any reason You deserved to die."

"Haha, Master Liu Bei, don't make jokes. I won't scare you next time, and I won't believe that you will do this."

"Oh? How do you expect that I won't kill you to vent my anger? You know that I lost hundreds of people because of you, and almost affected the overall situation. These are enough to kill you hundreds of times."

"My lord, as I said earlier, this time I came here on behalf of my lord Liu Che to discuss the Xiongnu's strategy with your lord. Before that, my lord defended your lord from the Huns' attack in the north, so your lord would have the opportunity to destroy Jurchen and occupy Jizhou. Now The battle in Youzhou is tense, if you stand by and watch, the next target will be your army when the Xiongnu breaks through Youzhou, you won’t understand the reason why your lips are dead and your teeth are cold."

"Secondly, since ancient times, even if the two armies are at war, envoys will not be beheaded. What's more, there is no war between your army and ours, and there is no reason to kill envoys. It will damage your reputation."

Liu Bei admired Jushou's eloquence from the bottom of his heart. Jushou was already like this, so what should Su Qin and Zhang Yi's abilities be like!

"Ju Shou is indeed a rare think tank under Liu Che's command. A few words can confuse black and white, and my lord has to accept your fallacies."

Ju Shou saw that it was the person next to Liu Bei who refuted him, and he was still so sharp. He thought that he might have met an opponent this time, so he quickly put away his previous contempt and asked, "I don't know who you are? How dare you slander me so much?"

"Okay, Jushou, don't gossip about those useless things, let's get straight to the point, Liu Bowen. Let's not mention all the things before, this time you are here for help, otherwise you will be killed by Temujin If you are defeated, don't talk about the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, my lord knows this, but you will be defeated does not mean that our army will also be defeated, why not tell us why we sent troops to help you?"

Hearing that it was Liu Bowen, known as the number one adviser under Liu Bei's command, Ju Shou had a bad feeling. As soon as Liu Bowen said this, Ju Shou knew that Liu Bei would not send troops without bloodletting.

"Lord Liu Bei, Brother Bowen, this Temujin is different from the former Tuoba Tao and Wanyan Aguda. This man is ambitious and extremely capable. He is a rare and powerful enemy in the world. If he is allowed to grow stronger, the consequences may be terrible. It’s unimaginable, I’m afraid it’s hard for both of you and my army to survive alone.”

"Ju Shou, Tuoba Tao was once difficult to deal with, and Wanyan Aguda was also ambitious, but they have already been destroyed by my lord. The same sentence, you will be defeated only shows that your strength is not enough, it does not mean that my lord will also be defeated , We are very good at annihilating alien races, you should just say why we sent troops to help you."

Hearing these Jushou completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading Liu Bei to send troops with words, and seeing Liu Bowen's attitude of not retreating one step, Jushou knew that he was a thousand-year-old fox, and no one should chat with anyone.

"My lord, my lord is willing to use 3 war horses and 5 shi of grain as the food for your army to send troops, in order to get your army to send troops."

"Ju Shou, don't you know that our army has no shortage of war horses since it completely occupied Bingzhou? Maybe 3 war horses are worth a lot to other princes, but for us these war horses are not as precious as 3 shi grains. I hope you can Think it over."

This stumped Jushou, Youzhou had a little more war horses, as for food, gold and silver didn't even need to be thought about, as I didn't have enough for myself, so how could there be any extra for Liu Bei.

"My lord, it's because I don't want to give out food, gold and silver as rewards. It's just that Youzhou is also very poor. Besides war horses, other things are also very scarce. I don't know what I can offer."

Liu Bei and Liu Bowen looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, everything was as expected at the beginning. According to the characteristics of Youzhou, there was nothing but war horses. It seemed that it was time to make the request as originally thought.
