When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 131 I did it!

"Envoy, why did you come to see Liu Xuande in person? And why are you so polite?"

The guard took advantage of the fact that no one was in the room and expressed his doubts.

Song Xiao, who was drinking hot water slowly, put down the teacup and lowered his voice, "Do you know who Liu Xuande is?"

"Governor of Jincheng? A filial son?"

"Alas." Song Xiao sighed, his eyes full of disappointment. He shook his head, "How foolish! How foolish! If you were not my brother's only son, I would have kicked you out long ago. Is Liu Bei really that simple? Before he rose to power, he was just a knight-errant. When he was young, he was a weaver and a shoe seller. It hasn't been long since he became the Protector of the Qiang. Even Zuo Chang, the former governor of Liangzhou, was detained in Wuyun County Prison. Doesn't this prove something?!"

"Uncle, I was wrong." The guard lowered his head.

Song Xiao was really disappointed with the performance of his personal guards. He actually had some concerns that he hadn't said. Since the battle of Ji County, Liu Bei's prestige in Hanyang and Jincheng counties has been at its peak. Not to mention that Liu Bei and his two brothers have both won battles with fewer troops. In terms of military affairs, can he, an outsider governor, really control Liu Bei? I'm afraid Liu Bei will go to meet the Emperor of Heaven after a wave of charge, right? It's better to show goodwill, borrow Liu Bei's reputation, and vigorously extort money, at least not to let the money for buying an official position go to waste. If Liu Xuande succeeds in pacifying the Qiang, maybe he can get a share of the pie.

Just as Song Xiao was thinking, Liu Bei and his personal guards stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.

Liu Bei just felt that Song Xiao didn't seem like a good person.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Song Xiao strode forward and said with a smile, "Are you the Protector of the Qiang, Liu Bei Liu Xuande?"

"Yes," Liu Bei said with a fist, "Who is it?"

"Snapped"

Song Xiao patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. I am Song Xiao, the governor of Liangzhou who replaced Zuo Chang. In the future, I will have to rely on General Liu to solve the Qiang rebellion."

After a few words of concern.

Song Xiao looked around and asked in confusion, "General Liu, where are Captain Guan and Captain Zhang?"

"Yunchang is rebuilding in Haomen, and Yide is chasing a group of Qiang and Hu people. He will be back soon." Liu Bei said slowly.

"Ugh!"

Song Xiao patted his thigh and lowered his head, "What a pity, I thought I could meet the two heroes this time, but I didn't expect to miss them. What a pity."

"."

It's a bit too fake.

Liu Bei went straight to the point, "There will always be a chance, Envoy Song, I wonder why you came here this time?"

"General Liu, I just feel that it is unfair for the two heroes Guan Duwei and Zhang Duwei to be the current Duwei. I would like to recommend you two to be the prefects of Wuwei and Zhangye counties."

"what?"

Liu Bei looked calm, but his heart was disturbed. In the past, if the governor had personally presented the petition, and with the contributions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it would have been a sure thing for him to become the county governor. But the problem was that the two places were now suffering from the rebellion of the Qiang and Hu people. Song Xiao's excuse was just a big lie, in the words of the later fairyland.

But it is enough to show his attitude, and at least it is more pleasant to get along with him than with Zuo Chang.

"I am really overwhelmed by such kindness. What can I do to relieve your worries?"

When Song Xiao saw that Liu Bei did not agree, he thought to himself, he is worthy of being Liu Xuande.

Then he implicitly expressed his intention. Liu Bei pricked up his ears and listened very carefully. In the end, it all came down to one word: "money".

After thinking about it, this is normal. After all, isn't the purpose of buying official pictures to make more money?
The emperor separated the powerful and wealthy families, and the wealthy families oppressed the common people.

One thing leads to another, it’s really fun.

Liu Bei despised him in his heart, but he always believed in not hitting a smiling person. After seeing Song Xiao finish speaking, Liu Bei curled his lips and said, "Sir, how much money can be squeezed out of the common people? In my opinion, it is better to put a knife on the neck of the nobles to get money faster!"

"!"

Hearing Liu Bei's murderous words, Song Xiao's eyelids jumped fiercely, and even the teacup was a little unsteady. Liu Bei can do this, but if I do this, I am afraid I will not see the sun tomorrow! He forced a smile, "General Liu, you are too impulsive. We can continue to discuss the method."

"If you disagree, I still have a solution."

"What? General Liu, tell me quickly!" Liu Bei grinned, "Open the Western Regions."

At this moment, the guards came to report

"Report, Lord, Sima Zhao said he wants to see you for something important!"

"Sima Zhao?"

Song Xiao, who had conducted an in-depth investigation of Liu Bei, was also stunned when he heard these three words. Feeling Liu Bei's gaze, Song Xiao immediately came back to his senses and smiled at Liu Bei, "General Liu, it's okay, please ask Sima Zhao to come and see him."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir."

The personal guards left in a hurry, and Zhao Yun strode in with his head held high. The eyes of everyone present lit up, what a handsome and brave general!

Song Xiao smiled and asked, "General Liu, where does this Zhao Sima live? Does he have any sisters?"

Liu Bei only said, "Zilong is also my brother."

Song Xiao just shut up.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists towards Song Xiao and Liu Bei, "Yun, I greet Envoy Song."

"Good," Song Xiao said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

"Zilong, what's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

Seeing Zhao Yun, Liu Bei also smiled from the bottom of his heart. Zhao Yun seemed to be a little worried about Song Xiao's presence. Liu Bei comforted him, "Zilong, don't worry, the envoy is a noble man."

Zhao Yun nodded and took out a string of gold jewelry from his arms. It was real gold, and the dazzling gold color almost blinded Song Xiao's eyes.

"What's going on?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"My Lord, I met a Hu merchant on my way back. I exchanged a few rolls of silk for this."

Hearing these words, Song Xiao's hands couldn't help but tremble, and a large amount of his beard was pulled out.

He shouted, "General Liu, I'll do it!"

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun smiled at each other.

It became.

After seeing off Song Xiao, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao gathered together.

After listening to Chen Dao's narration, Liu Bei was still a little surprised. It turned out that he could dream of movies that did not appear in the novel.
After being slightly surprised, Liu Bei held hands and started talking with Chen Dao.

Liu Bei discovered that Chen Dao not only had a personality that suited his taste, but also had many insights into military training. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, some of his ideas coincided with those in military books, and this was even before he had much exposure to military books. So Liu Bei immediately made a decision to allocate several hundred people to Chen Dao and let him give it a try first.

"Lord."

Zhao Yun waited until Liu Bei and Chen Dao finished their conversation before speaking.

Liu Bei and Chen Dao looked at Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Haha, I saw that Shu Zhi was very happy and neglected Zilong in a moment of excitement. Please don't blame me, Zilong!"

"In fact, what I really want to show you is not the gold, but something a hundred times more valuable than the gold."

"It is a hundred times more valuable than gold. What is that? A high-yield grain?"

Zhao Yun's words successfully aroused Liu Bei's curiosity. Zhao Yun reached into his arms and took out a strange seed. Zhao Yun smiled and said
“Cotton seeds.”

　There was Xinjiang cotton in the Western Regions during the late Han Dynasty
