There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, he is very eager to have a powerful army that can obey his command.

Unfortunately, one of his wishes failed to come true.

Now that Liu Biao is willing to realize his wish, it is naturally far beyond Liu Bei's expectations.

Immediately, Liu Bei stood up and wanted to thank Liu Biao.

However, the moment Liu Bei stood up, he calmed down and hesitated at the same time.

Could Liu Biao's move be testing his own ambition?

After all, there are strong enemies in the south of the Yangtze River outside, and Fu Wan and Dong Cheng are opposing him inside. Liu Biao is also a thoughtful person. Under such circumstances, he should be more suspicious. How could he trust himself and entrust him with military power?

This thing is really weird.

However, if I reject Liu Biao's invitation, if he is not testing myself, wouldn't this chance that came out of nowhere be lost in vain?

For a seemingly difficult decision, Liu Bei was prepared in an instant.

But I saw that he was still in the usual understatement, begging without desire or request.

Liu Bei cupped his hands at Liu Biao, and said, "Brother regards you so much, Bei is very grateful, but Bei is a man with little talent and learning, a vulgar man who doesn't understand martial arts, and he is really not very proficient in commanding troops. Please forgive me, brother Jing Sheng." , such a heavy responsibility cannot be fulfilled.”

Liu Biao laughed when he heard the words: "Why are you so modest?"

"It's not that I'm overly modest, it's that Bei has a reputation for knowing himself very well. I'm afraid he's going to disappoint Brother Jing Sheng's kindness this time."

Hearing this, Liu Biao lost some of his guard against Liu Bei.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly saw him stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "Xuande, there is one thing that has been in my heart for a long time. I don't know whether I should tell you or not, but to this day, I don't think it's okay not to say it." It's purely chat between you and me, if you offend my virtuous brother, don't mind it."

Seeing that Liu Biao changed the subject, Liu Bei turned the matter to another place, and he was even more sure that Liu Biao was testing himself today.

In this way, he dared not relax his words and deeds even more.

He said to Liu Biao: "Brother, why is this so? Between you and me, is there anything we can't talk about? If elder brother wants to say something, or if there is something wrong with younger brother, it's alright."

Liu Biao shook his head, and said: "This matter really has nothing to do with Brother Xian, but actually this matter is related to Guan Yunchang, who is under your command."

Liu Bei woke up suddenly, and remembered a secret letter Zhang Fei wrote to himself before, which explained Guan Yu's going to Zhang Renzhi's camp after Liu Biao was defeated by the pottery merchant.

Liu Bei's heart was overwhelmed, but Liu Biao said to himself, "I'll tell you my lord, I fought against Tao Bandit as a brother, and was defeated. Fortunately, Yun Chang, Yide and others joined forces with the Yizhou army to help us, and we were able to save the war." To get this life is actually based on this matter, Yun Chang really has great achievements, but when he was about to reward Yun Chang as his brother, he ran to the Yizhou Army and asked the old man to send someone there It was easy to find him in the barracks, but he couldn't even find a single person, hehe, Xuande, you said this was a big deal."

Before Liu Biao finished speaking, Liu Bei stood up and made a long bow to Liu Biao.

Seeing this, Liu Biao was surprised: "Xuande, what are you doing?"

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Brother, I understand the meaning of what you said! But who is Yun Chang? Bei also knows that Yun Chang is a noble man, and he has always loved face. He should go to the Yizhou military camp in response to Zhang Renzhi. It's just for a little superficial matter! Yun Chang is a loyal person, and he will never commit treason and collusion, and he is willing to guarantee this with his life!"

Liu Biao thought that Liu Bei would clean himself up if he said this, but he actually spoke for Guan Yu before he arrived first, and he had a higher opinion of his character.

Liu Biao comforted softly: "Xuande doesn't have to be like this, my brother didn't say anything wrong with Yun Chang? Yun Chang is loyal and brave, my brother likes it very much, how can you blame him for such a trivial matter!"

Liu Bei once again made a long bow, and said: "Brother is open-minded, and he is indeed a master of the ages, but Yun Chang never got a military order, so he went to the Yizhou military camp privately. It is indeed a taboo and should be punished, but Bei is Brother Yun, if you make mistakes, I, as the eldest brother, should also be responsible."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei turned around, walked to the shelf in the room, picked up Liu Biao's saber, and pulled it out with a "stagger".

Liu Biao was startled when he saw this, he jumped up from the bed in fright, and shouted, "Xuande, what do you want to do?"

The door of Liu Biao's room was also pushed open suddenly, several guards rushed in and surrounded Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei raised his sword and cut off one of his little fingers without hesitation, and the blood flowed profusely immediately.

Liu Biao and all the guards in the room were stunned.

Liu Bei threw the sword on the ground, picked up the little finger on the ground with his right hand, his face was pale, trembling, he said to Liu Biao, "I wish to use this finger to forgive Yun Chang's crime, and I beg for your kindness!"

"You..." Liu Biao stammered angrily, "When did I say I'm going to punish Yun Chang? You, you foolish bastard! You have skin and skin, and your parents, are you worthy of your ancestors and fathers by doing this?" ?”

Liu Bei showed a bleak smile, and said: "My late father, Quan Xia, knew that my action was for my brother's forgiveness, so he probably wouldn't blame my younger brother."

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei firmly, and said, "Brother is really important to you!"

Liu Bei nodded heavily and said, "Naturally."

"Okay." Then Liu Biao sighed, waved his hands from left to right, and said, "Send Xuande to a doctor quickly so that he can bandage Xuande's wound. What happened today is the old man's fault. Go back and heal your wounds. After recovering from the injury, the old man will have important things to ask for."

After those guards helped Liu Bei out, Liu Biao just let out a long sigh and said to himself, "Look at what happened, how did it happen, come out."

When I was young, a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old came out from the inner room behind Liu Biao's bed. Although the boy was young, he was very ugly, with a bulbous nose, thick lips, squinting eyes, and many pimples on his face. , I don't know if it's because of puberty.

Liu Biao turned to look at him and said, "Do you think Liu Bei is useful?"

The young man cupped his hands humbly, and said: "Whether it is intellect or righteousness, you can use Hussar General to use this person as a commander, and let him conquer Jingnan. I think there is no mistake."

Chapter 658 It's an old trick and a new one

Liu Biao stood up, not looking sick at all.

He turned his head to look at the young man, and said: "This man is capable, and the old man is also aware of it, but I am afraid that after taking military power with him, it will be difficult to take it back in the future."

The young man smiled and said: "There were originally seven prominent families in Jingzhou: Cai, Kuai, Pang, Huang, Yang, Ma, and Xi. General Hussars was able to ride into Jingzhou alone and achieve today's achievements in such a situation where there are many prominent families. It's really not easy, but now that Jingzhou is the emperor, there are foreign nobles headed by Fu Wan and Dong Cheng flowing in. If Liu Huanqi wants to be as stable as Mount Tai in the future, he has to support some good helpers again. I think this Liu Bei is one A rare talent."

Liu Biao snorted and said, "What do you say is as stable as Mount Tai, aren't you also a member of this famous family?"

The young man shook his head and said: "Although they are a famous family, they are still not as powerful as Cai, Kuai and others."

Liu Biao sighed, Cai and Kuai are indeed powerful, so powerful that they can almost control their own actions.

"How do you conclude that Liu Bei is trustworthy?"

The young man asked back: "General Hussars thinks that Liu Bei treats Guan Yu?"

Liu Biao looked down at the puddle of blood that had gradually dried up on the ground when Liu Bei severed his finger just now, and sighed, "Not to mention anything else, but in terms of treating my brother, it's really not worth mentioning. "

"Then Liu Huanqi is Liu Bei's brother?" the young man asked back.

Liu Biao thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

The young man continued: "To Liu Bei, Guan Yu is only a general, but Liu Bei treats him with life and death. Liu Huanqi is Liu Bei's brother of the same clan. As long as you treat Liu Bei with sincerity, why worry about him not being able to do so in the future?" Treat you with life and death?"

Speaking of this, the young man paused and said, "It's like you treat our family."

Liu Biao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, well said! Your uncle recommended you here, he really has a unique vision. At first he saw that you were young, plus..."

When Liu Biao said this, he suddenly paused and thought for a while, but he didn't say the phrase "ugly" after all.

He considered his words for a while, and continued: "I thought you were just a child, but I didn't expect to have such insight. It's really amazing! Well, then according to what you said, the old man will give Liu Bei soldiers and horses, let him conquer Jing Nan Zhang Xian, so what?"
