Chapter 169 Talk about conditions

"Don't drink it." Liu Bei also put down his teacup, crossed his hands on the table, not elegant, but looked very comfortable.

"I asked you to do something else, just to count your military exploits." Liu Bei said lightly.

Battle exploits?Gao Shun frowned invisibly, and then stretched it out at random. If he was really counted for his military exploits, it would be normal not to call Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao two.

Liu Bei is not Cao Cao, they are all Cao Cao's subordinates, and Cao Cao is counted together as a reward for military exploits.

They have a cooperative relationship with Liu Bei, helping each other and supervising each other. Under normal circumstances, Liu Bei is the main one, so Liu Bei's reward for his meritorious deeds is not considered a substitute.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun had no choice but to nod, saying that he should follow Liu Bei's arrangement.

"Yi Cong's contribution this time is not small. I have watched it from the Chinese army. It is a merit to lead the soldiers to charge the enemy's formation, it is a merit to defeat Yuan Shu in a head-on confrontation, and it is also a merit to chase down the scattered deserters. The three If the credits add up, you may have to go up another level." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Does chasing deserters count?Why did Gao Shun feel that Liu Bei was imposing credit on himself, but he couldn't say anything, so he continued to nod his head.

Seeing that Gao Shun had no objection, Liu Bei said again: "In a few days, I will lead my troops out of the city to suppress the bandits, and gather some refugees. Will Yi Cong come with me?"

"No." Gao Shun shook his head. He didn't deliberately refuse, but what he planned to do before: "Most of my soldiers' hometowns are here, so I want to take them home to have a look, so I won't go with the general. gone."

Taking this opportunity, Gao Shun asked Liu Bei for a leave: "If I go back, I'm afraid it will take several days to go back and forth. I also need to invite the general..."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's natural for soldiers to go home to visit relatives, I agree." Liu Bei agreed, and at the same time changed his tone: "It's just that Yi Cong's hometown is not here, you shouldn't have to go back, why don't you join me in suppressing it?" bandit?
I remember that you also suppressed bandits here under Cao Gong's order. You should have rich experience. With you and me, I think it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "

The reason why Liu Bei kept Gao Shun again and again was because he wanted to control Gao Shun. Although he had an inexplicable liking for Gao Shun, this kind of favor was not worth it compared to his own plan. carry.

Only by controlling Gao Shun by his side can we better implement the next plan.

Gao Shun was naturally not stupid. Although he didn't know why Liu Bei kept letting him follow him, he just listened to the words that he had rich experience in suppressing bandits.

Now Liu Bei is not what it used to be, with tens of thousands of regular soldiers under his command. Which bandit force in Xuzhou is not pushed flatly, it is simply a cannon to beat mosquitoes, why should he follow him?
The more this is the case, the more Gao Shun can't do what Liu Bei wants.

"The general is right. I'm not from the local area. It's just that in order to win over the soldiers, I made a marriage relationship with a very powerful person. If I don't go back... I'm afraid it will cause their displeasure. Please forgive me, the general." Gao Shun said neither humble nor overbearing.

"So that's the case." Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, and wanted to reach out to stroke his long beard, but he couldn't do it. It turned out that the long beard was stained with blood after returning from the war, and he was too lazy to clean it up, so he cut it off.

When he was empty, Liu Bei didn't care, reached out and knocked on the table, thought for a while, and said: "In that case, the general will take people back."

"Thank you, General." Gao Shun had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Bei say again: "However, there are many bandits on these roads, I am afraid that something will happen to the generals, so it is better to send someone to protect some generals.

Moreover, the matter of the two generals Zhu Lu may be later. "

Before Gao Shun could speak, Liu Bei explained again: "Oh, it's not a big deal, even if they wanted to go back to Xu, they would report the situation like Cao Gong. I originally planned to let them go back, but now it seems that they should stay and assist me. It’s better to suppress the bandits, let them go after the general returns.”

When Liu Bei said this, the meaning was already very clear. Even if he wanted to stare at Gao Shun, even if Gao Shun made excuses to leave, he had to keep Gao Shun in his people's sight.

This is not driven by Liu Bei's personal emotions, but a part of his plan.

He has always been confused about Gao Shun, but he knows one thing: Gao Shun still belongs to Cao Cao for the time being.

That being the case, then he couldn't let Gao Shun go back. Holding Gao Shun in his hands could not only be used as a hostage threat, but also be used to negotiate conditions at critical moments.

When Liu Bei said this, Gao Shun's eyelids twitched, as if he almost ran out of the door.

Fortunately, Gao Shun knew in his heart that he and Liu Bei didn't have much hatred, and a living Gao Shun was far more valuable than a dead one, so Gao Shun didn't need to worry about his life being threatened at the moment.

Thinking about this point, Gao Shun relaxed a little, and took another deep breath.

Liu Bei has made it clear now, either you go with me to suppress the bandits, let your subordinates go back to visit relatives, let Zhu Ling and Luzhao return to Xudu, or you and your subordinates go back together, but I have to send someone to supervise you However, Zhu Ling and Luzhao also have to be taken as hostages and cannot leave.

Which one will Gao Shun choose?Without a doubt, of course choose the first one.

He's not stupid, if he stays by Liu Bei's side, how can he feel safe staying with his own camp?
And I have to deal with some things when I go back this time, and some things can only be done by myself.

As for Zhu Ling and Luzhao, what does it have to do with how?If they were killed by Liu Bei, they were destined to have such a catastrophe, and they could not escape.

"General, think about it, I still have to go back and take a look, otherwise I won't worry." Gao Shun said calmly.

"Have you thought about it? Okay, that's it." Liu Bei was not surprised to see Gao Shun make such a decision.

If Gao Shun was not like this, he would be surprised. The current Gao Shun is exactly as he expected.

However, this was considered an emergency, and he hadn't figured out who to send with Gao Shun yet.

But there is nothing to think about. The only ones who can be sent are Guan Yu or Zhang Fei. As for the new ones who have been captured in Xuzhou recently, he is not at ease. What if they are kidnapped by Gao Shun? manage?
Well, let the second brother go. The second brother is capable and intelligent. Although he doesn't like to express himself proactively, he won't cause trouble.

He had to bring 500 people along with him. Although Gao Shun was unlikely to do anything, just in case, it was better to bring more people. It would be bad if the second brother encountered an accident, and there were more people.

That's it, I'll go back and talk to my second brother later, I'm afraid the third brother is going to make a fuss again.

Liu Bei thought a lot, but this was just a momentary matter to him. He had long been accustomed to thinking about more things in a short period of time.

This is a must-have skill for every good character.
