Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 529 The villain (4000)

See you in the picture!

Just now Wu Liang felt that Liu Bei was too enthusiastic about him, and he was so courteous for nothing.

After making trouble for a long time, I was waiting for myself here...

To put it nicely, this might be called alms, but to put it bluntly, isn't this just begging for food?
"Ugh……"

At this point, Guan Erye, who was so arrogant just now that he wanted to fight Dian Wei forever, sighed softly, then lowered his head and rode his horse back behind Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, it was hard to face Wu Liang and Dian Wei again .

This is hero shortness of breath.

People are iron and rice is steel, even heroes have to eat.

Wu Liang could tell that the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were in extreme embarrassment at the moment, otherwise, with Guan Erye's temper, if Liu Bei did such a demeaning thing in front of him, he might break off friendship with Liu Bei. It's not that he can't hold his head up like he is now. Obviously, he can't afford to lose this person.

But then again.

Wu Liang could also imagine that what he did before prevented Liu Bei from entering Xuzhou. The life of the three brothers must be more difficult than in history, but he did not expect that they would be reduced to this level, and they could not even eat. get up.

But the biggest problem now is that the Tuan army doesn't have much food left.

There are more than 200 mouths waiting to eat behind the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang. Liu Bei's so-called "Trouble the fourth brother to make more" is not a small number. The rations, plus this is a group of hungry men, if they eat with their stomachs open, it may not be impossible to eat their ten-day rations in one meal.

Yet at this time.

"Someone!"

"Stop them!"

"Take it!"

The soldiers behind the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang suddenly burst into a commotion, and then rushed out of the valley in a swarm.

Then some soldiers rushed to report to Liu Bei: "General, there is a group of carriages from outside the valley. There are six people and four carts in total. I have ordered people to surround them. Please go and check!"

Six people and four cars?

Isn't this the number of people Wu Liang sent to Changshan to buy food?
Calculating the time, it must be Yang Wanli who bought the food and brought people back, but he didn't expect a group of uninvited guests to come in the valley, so he just plunged in like this?
"Brother, these should be my people, don't hurt them!"

Wu Liang quickly said to Liu Bei.

What he worried about was that Yang Wanli and those soldiers were besieged inexplicably, and they resisted to the death without knowing it. Liu Bei's troops would definitely not show mercy if they fought like this, and it would be Yang Wanli and others who would suffer.

And if Yang Wanli and the others suffered casualties, Wu Liang would never talk such nonsense with Liu Guanzhang and the others, and would definitely pay them with their lives, but even if all these people were exterminated, they would still not be able to save the lives of Yang Wanli and the others. In Wu Liang's view, this is still unacceptable.

So before that, he had to try his best to avoid this from happening.

"Oh? I also wondered how there are so many passers-by in this wilderness far away from the official road. They turned out to be our own people."

Liu Bei also immediately said to the soldier when he heard the words: "Pass the order down, don't hurt those brothers, first invite them in and teach my fourth brother to identify them!"

"promise!"

The soldier clapped his hands in response, and trotted all the way to deliver the order.

After a moment.

The four carriages entered the valley under the escort of Liu Bei's troops. It was Yang Wanli and others.

The six of them held the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" and carefully guarded against the soldiers around them. They had a posture of losing people while they were in the car. If they disagreed with each other, they would pull the engine and kill Liu Bei's troops endlessly.

"call--"

Seeing this, Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they caught up, otherwise as long as Yang Wanli and others fired the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow", this great battle might never be avoided.

But now I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable not to invite Liu Bei to dinner.

Because the four carriages were full of grain, which was enough to feed the two hundred people behind Liu Bei, "the landlord's family has no surplus grain" can no longer be an excuse to shirk.

Most importantly, he found that Liu Bei's eyes were straightened.

Although Liu Bei's subordinates did not check what was in the sacks on the carriage, but the contents of the four carriages, and the horses were a bit difficult to pull the carriage, which is a considerable sum for Liu Bei now. In particular, Wu Liang claimed to be a merchant, and there was a high probability that the carriage contained the goods he used to sell, and this batch of goods could still be exchanged for a batch of grain.

"My lord, are you all safe and sound?"

Yang Wanli also saw Wu Liang from a long distance, but when he saw that he was riding on horseback with the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and a simple fortification had been built near the camp of the Liren Army, he immediately asked with concern in his voice.

"Unscathed."

Wu Liang beckoned to him, and then said very generously, "Leave all the grain on the four carriages to my three brothers, and show my respect to the three brothers."

"Leave them all?"

Yang Wanli frowned immediately.

I wondered what the situation was. Since General Wu treated the three of them as elder brothers, why did he keep food? Is this General Wu's plan to slow down the troops?

As it should be.

This group of people doesn't look like a good person, they are probably robbers from the nearby hills.

And General Wu has always been kind and generous, and he is used to courtesy first and soldiers later, so he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as them, so he sold these grains to them as a favor to hope that they will live in peace.

Anyway, General Wu is now the Marquis of Yongqiu, and the thousands of villagers in Yongqiu are his food towns, and he doesn't care about this little food.

I just hope that this group of robbers will accept them as soon as they see a good deal, and don't touch General Wu's bottom line, otherwise, by then, they will not even have a chance to apologize...

Think so.

Yang Wanli finally felt relieved, and immediately ordered several accompanying soldiers to abandon the carriage, and walked a few feet away to wait and see what happened.

And heard Wu Liang's words.

"!!!"

The three of Liu, Guan and Zhang immediately beamed with joy.

Even the soldiers behind them were full of excitement. If it weren't for military regulations, some of them would have raised their arms and cheered.

Just imagine that even Liu Bei's stomach is rumbling with hunger, how could those soldiers be any better?
It's probably been a while since I've eaten anything serious.

"Thank you fourth brother. I never thought that fourth brother would be so generous. What happened today is owed to you by elder brother. I will repay you twice in the future. I will never break my promise!"

At this moment, the way Liu Bei looked at Wu Liang had changed, and he thanked him repeatedly.

But Wu Liang always felt that his eyes were not so pure.

He felt that Liu Bei's gratitude seemed to contain a little greed, like a big bad wolf seeing a little fat sheep...

He knows very well the reason why Doumi En promotes Mi Qiu.

Human nature cannot stand the test. Although Liu Bei is a historical celebrity, he is also an individual first. At this moment, he is so embarrassed that it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no tomorrow.

But now he suddenly met Wu Liang, a little fat sheep, and he was quite generous in his actions. As an ambitious man, in order to survive and realize his ambition, Liu Bei would inevitably not have any ideas. After all, he now has more than two hundred people under his command , I think that I have an absolute advantage, and I have the ability to do many things according to my own will, or against Wu Liang's will.

Just like the view of history that Wu Liang agrees with very much: "Don't use the standard of justice to read the history of the Three Kingdoms, they can't reach it; don't read it with orthodox standards, it is outdated now; read it from the perspective of human nature and behavior results , which is true and eternal.”

then.

In order to prevent Liu Bei from becoming malicious because of this, Wu Liang immediately cupped his hands and said with a simple face: "My little brother can trust big brother, but this is almost all of my property, and I dare not ask big brother to repay it twice. After the city gate is opened, it is enough for the elder brother to pay back the full amount, otherwise the life of these people in the caravan of the younger brother may be difficult in the future."

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then he said haha, "Fourth brother, don't worry, elder brother is the one who doesn't believe what he says?"

Behind him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other silently.

It can be seen that their expressions are a little complicated...

What Wu Liang is best at is observing words and expressions. The micro-expressions of the three of them have already given him the answer. Now they have no ability to repay the food.

But it can also be seen from another aspect.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had faith in their hearts. After hearing what he said, they knew that they would not be able to return the food, so they felt a little guilty towards him, so they behaved like this. It's just that the situation forced them, and they really had no other choice but to choose to remain silent.

As for Liu Bei's words.

In fact, Wu Liang didn't care too much about him deceiving himself. Comparatively speaking, his responsibility was greater. The lives of the two hundred soldiers behind him were all on his shoulders. It is in line with his identity and position.

If Wu Liang was in his position, in his situation, he felt that he might do the same thing.

The same is true for Boss Cao who is supported by Wu Liang now. During the most difficult period in history, he also did the massacre of the city, tacitly allowed Cheng Yu to make human flesh into dried meat to supplement food, and who can look down on whom? Woolen cloth?

Anyway, Wu Liang is not short of this food now, so he doesn't feel distressed.

And he has successfully achieved his goal. Judging from the reaction of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, they should have believed his words, and they would not continue to regard themselves as a fat sheep.

They even felt a little guilty about themselves because of this.

At the very least, as long as they don't continue to reveal their wealth, out of this sense of guilt, they probably won't do them any harm and the possibility of conflict between the two sides will also become very low.

This is a good result for Wu Liang...

And just when Wu Liang thought so.

Zhen Mi, who had been sitting in Wu Liang's arms without saying a word, suddenly opened her mouth, looked at Wu Liang with a childlike face and asked clearly: "Husband, you have already seen that this person has no ability to return the grain at all. Just to lie to you, you also know that if you give them all the food, we will start from scratch again, why do you insist on doing this?"

quiet!
As soon as this word comes out.

There was silence in the valley, only the whistling of the cold wind whizzing by in early winter could be heard, as if everything had been frozen by the cold wind.

"..."

Liu Bei's smile froze on his face, and his eyes gradually flickered, looking extremely embarrassed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lowered their heads silently, watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, forcing themselves to pretend that they didn't hear what Zhen Mi said, while rubbing the reins in their hands tangledly, fully showing their inner embarrassment .

They are also people who want face.

When the situation forced Wu Liang to deceive him, he still felt apologetic in his heart, but now that Zhen Mi exposes them so bluntly, they don't know how to deal with themselves, it is simply murder.

Just now they thought they were doing flawlessly, but now they realize that the deceived person in front of them has already seen through them... Although they don't know how Wu Liang saw it, it is undeniable that their appearance just now is in Wu Liang's eyes. It must be very ugly in Liang's eyes.

And what makes them feel even more ashamed.

Wu Liang knew that they were lying to him, but he was willing to give them almost all the food. Although he didn't know why, this friendship was enough to make them feel ashamed.

"..."

Wu Liang also had a question mark on his face, for the time being he couldn't figure out what the hell Zhen Mi was trying to do.

then.

Then they heard Zhen Mi say unhurriedly: "You probably don't know yet, but my husband actually knows some face-to-face skills. Since the first time he saw you, he has seen your destiny clearly, so If you want to deceive him with rhetoric, it's like a fool's dream."

"Let's take you as an example."

Zhen Mi glanced at Liu Bei, and then said while playing with her nails: "My husband said that you are indeed a member of the royal family, and you were born with a full heaven, a round earth, wide ears, and slender arms. , these are not only the faces of wealth and auspiciousness, but also it can be seen that you will definitely become the overlord outside the court in the future and achieve a great career."

An overlord outside the court?
Zhen Mi was right again, and Wu Liang knew better than anyone that Liu Bei was the future Shu Han emperor in the official history, and the land of Ba and Shu would naturally be counted outside the imperial court.

Her physiognomy skills are indeed extraordinary.

However, at this moment, Wu Liang still didn't understand what Zhen Mi wanted to say, why did he force her facial recognition skills on himself, and what was the purpose of this?
"..."

Liu Bei was also shocked after hearing these words, no matter inside or outside the court, being able to become the overlord of one party was already in line with his ambition.

But Zhen Mi went on to say: "It's a pity that the god of heaven is not beautiful. Although you have a rich and auspicious appearance, you should have done something, but there is an inexplicable hindrance in your fate, which means that you have made a small mistake." People, as long as this villain is still alive, you will never be able to rise to the top, not only will you not be able to become the overlord of one party, but you will probably end up in mediocrity and embarrassment."
