Guo Si shivered with excitement. He believed that what Jian Yong said was true, because after the Ma Butcher pacified Liangzhou, the head of Anding Huangfu Jian, the prefect of Jincheng Yan Wen, the prefect of Longxi Gongzi Huang, the prefect of Beidi Li Ju, and his brother, Zhangye Guo Hao, were all beheaded by the Ma Butcher.

"Ma Butcher Ma has always been only surrendered, but as for surrendered generals, they will behead him!" Jian Yong checked his face and knew that Guo Si was frightened, so he put on a fierce medicine again, and then said, "Don't look at Xu Huang, Duan Wei is doing well under Ma Butcher Ma. In fact, this is only temporary. When Ma Butcher Ma transfers Xu Huang's Hedong soldiers and Duan Wei's Liangzhou soldiers, the death period of the two will come."

Guo Si took a breath and said to Jian Yong: "Li Ru's heart is punishable, but there is a saying that he said is very reasonable. Does Lord Liu Bei really dare to accept the general's effectiveness? He only has four or five hundred soldiers under his command. Are you not afraid that this general will rob him of his power and take over his position?"

"It's ridiculous!" Although Jian Yong's ability was mediocre, he was as eloquent as Li Su. When he was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, he had already thought of the words. Seeing that Guo Si was indeed attacking, he asked with great disdain, "Will the general believe such a ridiculous remark?"

"Huh?" Guo Si said suddenly, "Absurd?"

Jian Yong said: "I'll ask the general, why did Dong Zhuo be defeated?"

Guo Si said: "The Kwantung Army is powerful, and the Liangzhou Army is hard to match."

Jian Yong said: "How is the general who thinks he is better than Dong Zhuo?"

Guo Si said: "It's quite worse."

Jian Yong said again: "Since this is the case, may I ask, will the general dare to usurp the power? After usurping the power of my lord, what will the general use to resist the attack of the Kanto Alliance? Just rely on the general's 200,000 troops? Dong Zhuo's 200,000 troops were still defeated, let alone the general's 200,000 troops."

Guo Si was silent.

He really didn't think about taking over the world like Dong Zhuo. Now he just wants to be the prefect of a place with people. As long as he can leave Chang'an, he can save his 20,000 troops. He really no longer wants anything else, at least not yet.

Jian Yong said again: "If the general believes that he does not have the ability to resist the attack of the Kanto Alliance, how dare he usurp the power of my lord? What can I worry about in my lord?"

Luoyang, Liu Bei's official residence.

Because the Sili Captain Liu Bei held a banquet to invite him, Situ Wang Yun, Sikong Liu Hong, Shangshu Lu Yu, Shizhong Cai Yong and other officials from the court came to visit each other. From a distance, they heard Liu Bei crying loudly. Everyone was surprised. When they walked into the hall, they saw Liu Bei crying bitterly with a bowl of moldy rice, looking extremely sad.

Wang Yun asked anxiously: "Why is Xuande Gong sad?"

Liu Bei wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and whispered: "Bei is not sad for himself, but for the emperor and the queen mother in the palace."

Wang Yun said in surprise: "What's wrong with the emperor and the empress dowager? Why don't we know?"

"Nothing big is going on." Liu Bei said this and handed the bowl of moldy coarse rice in his hand to Wang Yun, sighing, "It's just that there is a shortage of food in the palace. The emperor and the empress dowager can only eat the moldy coarse rice with wild vegetables. As the saying goes, the master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master is humiliated and the emperor and the empress dowager have no food and clothing. How can the subordinates bear it? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

After saying that, Liu Bei burst into tears again.

"Oh~~"

Wang Yun sighed, speechless.

The rest of Liu Hong, Lu Yu and others were silent. Even if they were willing to help each other, they could still pay money. However, Luoyang had no rice market and could not buy excess food to supply it to the palace.

After a long time, Liu Bei stopped his sad voice and sighed: "Now, Xuzhou is rich, and there is a lot of surplus grain. Although Bei intends to go to buy it, it is a pity that his sleeves are empty and he has no money to buy grain, alas."

Now, Wang Yun's old face was really a little uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said, "There are some rare antiques in my family. It's useless to keep them anyway. If you sell them, you can still exchange them for money. If Duke Xuande doesn't dislike it, it's better to condemn others to get them for money."

Cai Yong also said: "There are also some ancient poems and calligraphy and paintings in the Xiaguan Mansion. Liu Sili can get them as long as possible."

Lu Zhi's son, Lu Yu, said: "My father and his subordinates have been in office for many years, and they have accumulated some money, and they can still get four or five thousand guan. Now that the people in Luoyang are in a slump, there is no market, and they can't buy anything when they stay at home anyway. Why don't you give it to Lord Liu Bei to buy food?"

With Wang Yun, Cai Yong and Lu Yu taking the lead, the rest of the people also knew that if there was no expression today, they would be afraid that they would not be ashamed to see each other again. They would have to endure the pain and bleeding, and each donated money and donated goods. In less than the meal, the banquet set up by Liu Bei raised a large amount of money.

After donating money, Wang Yun and others were no longer interested in having a banquet and left one after another. Liu Bei apologized and sent them to the gate one by one. When he was sending the last official away, his brother Guan Yu suddenly entered the main gate in silence. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Liu Bei's eyes. Guan Yu understood and hurriedly silenced.

After the last official walked away, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Chang Yun, how did you gain from the trip to Xuzhou?"

Guan Yu said happily: "It's a great harvest. Brother, the old man Tao Qian is really easy to talk to. Before I finished speaking, I promised to provide the court with 50,000 stones of grain, 5,000 kilograms of pig iron and 300 sets of armor. I still regretted that the eldest brother asked for too little food. If I asked for 100,000 stones, I might get it."

"Although Tao Qian is easy to talk to, the Xuzhou officials under his command may not be that easy to talk to. One hundred thousand stones of grain has exceeded the bottom line of the Xuzhou gentry. Besides, fifty thousand stones of grain is enough."

After saying this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly showed a heart-pounding stinging look. Compared with the honesty and kindness just now, Liu Bei seemed to have changed his personality at this time, and then said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, now you go to the east military camp in the city to order 300 soldiers to do an important task."

Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What's the important thing? I'm so anxious?"

Liu Bei handed a book in his hand to Guan Yu and ordered: "This is the money and goods that Wang Yun, Lu Yu and others promised to donate. It is clearly recorded on it. After you order the soldiers of Qi, you will come to your door and take back the money and goods that you promised to be in the camp."

Chang'an, Li Ru's official residence.

While Li Ru was having a banquet with Guo Tu, a slave suddenly rushed in and said something in Li Ru's ear. After hearing this, Li Ru's face changed drastically and he jumped up in shock.

Guo Tu also felt a slump in his heart and asked anxiously: "Mr. Li Ru, what happened?"

"Mr. Guo Tu, this disaster is coming." Li Ru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a calm voice, "Ru has always been friendly with Guo Si's wife and uncle. Just now, Guo Si's wife and uncle came to report that Guo Si had secretly agreed to Jian Yong and was ready to serve the captain Liu Bei of the Sili School! And he would take Mr. Jae Xia to Luoyang for questioning!"

"What~~What!?" Guo Tu was shocked now and said anxiously, "What happened?"

Li Ru held his forehead with his hand and said annoyedly: "It's such a mistake. It seems that he underestimated Jian Yong."

Guo Tu said anxiously: "Mr. Li Ru, it is meaningless to say these things now. You have to find a way to save the situation. You must not let General Guo Si defect to Liu Bei."

"I'm afraid this is difficult to save." Li Ru shook his head, "For the sake of the current plan, I can only escape first."

"Since it's irreversible~~" Guo Tu said this, and a ruthless murderous intent suddenly popped up the corner of his mouth. He lowered his voice and said, "I can only send General Guo Si to the road first! As long as Guo Si dies, the Liangzhou chaos army will have no leader, so we will have the opportunity to get things from it."

"Not proper, not proper!" Li Ru was so anxious that he shook his hands and said, "It is easy to kill Guo Si, but it will be worse if he really wants to kill Guo Si. Don't mention surrendering at that time, I'm afraid you and I will be chopped into meat paste by the rioters! If Guo Si wants to surrender to Liu Bei, let him go. Anyway, Ma Pingxi's troops are strong and there is no shortage of these 20,000 troops."

"What if there are large troops outside Chang'an City?" Guo Tu sneered, "Does this group of rioters dare to kill Mr. Li Ru?"

"Huh?" Li Ru's expression narrowed, and finally came to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Guo Tu, it turns out that you are prepared!"

Guo Tu dusted his sleeves, straightened his clothes again, and said calmly: "If you can't even do this little thing well, what's the face of Tu going back to Hetao to see my lord?"

Li Ru touched his forehead with his hand, thinking that Guo Tu is really not ordinary arrogance.

But then again, this guy is indeed qualified to be arrogant in terms of being meticulous and acting without any leakage.

Luoyang, the official residence of the Shizhong Cai Yong.

"Expanded~~"

The closed door was suddenly knocked so loudly. The old man who had already fallen asleep quickly got up and opened the door a crack. Before he opened his eyes, he yawned and shouted: "Who is it? It's so late and still knocks on the door. Is it true that people are not allowed to sleep? It's really ~~"

"Old guy, you will die if you say less."

Before Ding finished speaking, he had already been slapped heavily in the face.

"How did you hit someone?"

The old man hurriedly opened his sleepy eyes and saw a large group of soldiers holding torches standing in front of the mansion. The officer who hit him just now was staring at him fiercely and cursing: "What's wrong with beating you? Open the door quickly! I have been responsible for the big deal of the second general, and I want you to look good."

Ding Huo from his hometown said, "What are the second generals? This is Shizhong Mansion."

"What's wrong with Shizhong Mansion?" the officer said sternly, "I have just come from Sikong Mansion. People from Sirong Mansion dare not treat me slowly. What kind of fruit onion is Shizhong Mansion?"

"flat!"

Before he finished speaking, the officer kicked the door hard, and opened the hole slightly, and the thin body of the hometown Ding was immediately knocked out and flew out, and he couldn't get up for a long time. The officer kicked the door open, took his hand back, and said sternly: "Brothers, move things according to the list."

"Affect the order."

More than a hundred soldiers holding torches responded to the promise, like a group of living bandits, rushing into the Shizhong Mansion in chaos.
