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

Chapter 228: I am afraid that my brother will suffer, but I am also afraid that my brother will become rich

"I see"

Listening to Huo Du's story, Liu Bei understood the cause and effect of the matter. He looked at Huo Jun beside Huo Du and thought: It turns out that the wise minister and capable general this time is Huo Jun.

Who is Huo Jun?
Fortunately, before taking up his post in Jingzhou, Liu Bei specifically asked Zhen De.

Huo Jun was the general guarding Jiameng City.

According to the original trajectory, Jiameng City was his only city in Shu and the foundation for his roots in Shu. Its importance to him was self-evident.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, the rulers of Yizhou at that time, obviously understood this truth. Zhang Lu first sent Yang Bo to deceive and lie that they would defend the city together, but was flatly rejected by Huo Jun.

Later, Liu Zhang sent Fu Jin, Xiang Cun and others to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack.

At this time, there were only a few hundred soldiers available in Huojun City.

They all say to surround it with ten.

The number of enemy troops is more than ten times?
As a result, the siege was interrupted again and again by Huo Jun, and it lasted for a whole year.

In the end, Huo Jun personally selected elite soldiers, took the initiative to go out of the city, defeated the enemy army, and even beheaded the enemy general Xiang Cun.

What a tenacious and courageous general!

But his brother didn't seem to have heard it.
Now it seems that Huo Jun's brother also has the potential to be a good general.

The local militia had no idea what Liu Bei was thinking. They lowered their heads nervously, and their surprise turned into worry. They never expected that Huo Du, as the leader, would reveal the fact that he had pretended to be a captain under Liu Shijun.

Brother Huo, you are too honest!
In this case, what should I do if the envoy blames me?
The soldiers of Zhao Ci who were tied up by hemp ropes also lowered their heads dejectedly. They had been hunting birds all their lives but now they had capsized in the gutter. They felt something was wrong when they saw the local warriors rushing down, but what could they do now? Zhao Ci had been killed by them. They had heard that Liu Xuande was well-known for his virtue and kept his promise. What if these plain-dressed local warriors were Liu Xuande's special forces?

The fantasy was eventually shattered under the wheel of reality.

The feeling of despair spread wildly among them. All they lacked now was Liu Bei's final decision. They did not dare to hope that Liu Bei would pardon their crimes, but only asked for a painless death.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely bad, as if one could hear a pin drop, and it was so depressing that even birds were unwilling to pass by.

However, for Liu Bei, is this something he needs to worry about?

He patted Huo Du's shoulder, looked at the crowd and said loudly

"Why are you all lowering your heads?"

"Lift your head up for me"

"I have something to say"

"?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Was this person really the disciple of the great Confucian scholar, the governor Liu Xuande? Why did he speak in the same tone as you and me?

The local militia and captives raised their heads and saw Liu Bei's calm expression.

The local militia thought to themselves, could it be that the envoy doesn't blame us?

The captive thought, can we live?
Liu Bei was familiar with this situation. He smiled and pointed at Huo Du, saying, "Everyone, General Huo is my friend. I wrote to him and asked him to come and help us."

"so."

Someone plucked up the courage to ask: "Sir, what about your promise?"

"Naturally it counts"

Hearing this answer, the prisoners almost cheered for joy.

However, Xu Shu, a man with a feather fan and a long turban, with a strong build and broad shoulders, came out. He gently waved his feather fan and said, "Sir, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment for life cannot be escaped. They have caused cholera in several counties and caused heavy losses. It is better to first detain them in Wancheng Prison and then make them work to atone for their crimes."

"As for the bandit leader Zhao Ci."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Cremate and bury him."

As a traitor, his body should be hung on the city gate for a few days, but corpses can easily cause epidemics and there is no need to scare anyone.

"Yes," Xu Shu clasped his fists.

Liu Bei looked at Huo Du and Huo Jun and said with a smile: "Brother Huo, I have not seen you for a long time and I miss you so much. Why don't we go to the camp and have a chat?"

"it is good!"

Without waiting for Huo Du to say anything, Huo Jun, who was feeling very anxious, immediately answered.

After Qian Zhao repeated Liu Bei's words and praised Le Yin harshly, Le Yin's dissatisfaction had long disappeared.

Elderly people love to hear nice words the most, and they need to know that their roles are irreplaceable. Qian Zhao naturally understands this truth. He treats Le Yin like his father, but sometimes he really can't control himself.

After all, the good friends he used to play with are now surrounded by more and more talented people. How can he remain calm?
When I think of what Liu Bei said, Zijing, you will be granted a title of nobility in the future.

Fenghou
What a distant thing.
If he continues like this, can he really be granted the title of nobility?
Therefore, he decided to constantly improve himself and not miss any opportunity to communicate with talented people.
"Hey, Zijing, do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

Wang Yue walked over and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qian Zhao's face changed. Practicing sword? He was beaten into a haze by Liu Bei when he was young, and he shook his head decisively.

He changed the subject and said with a smile, "I wonder when Xuande will return?"

"Envoy? I just saw you coming back. I think you are in the camp now."

"Xuan De captured Zhao Ci?" Qian Zhao asked.

Wang Yue shook his head and said hesitantly, "I heard that he was captured by the envoy's friend."

Le Yin asked, "Your Excellency's friend? What's his name and where is he from?"

"It seems to be from Nanjun. I heard that Huo..."

"Huo? Nanjun?" Le Yin felt surprised and strange. He joked, "Some time ago, scholars from Nanyang County came to surrender. Now, people from Nanjun have come. Zijing, do you think people from all the counties in Jingzhou have come to surrender to you, my lord?"

"Hmm? Zijing, why don't you speak?"

Le Yin felt something was wrong, and Wang Yue added, "Mr. Le, it seems that Zijing is heading towards the envoy's tent."

"what!"

Le Yin turned around and saw Qian Zhao's hurried figure. He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "This brat!"

Wang Yue, who was afraid of being affected, slipped away without making a sound.
"Brother, are you okay?"

The words of the Kuai family's disciples kept hitting Kuai Liang's ears. He just felt that they were noisy, but as the oldest person in the clan and with a reputation as a modest gentleman, he couldn't really lower himself to drive away his cousins.

Facing his cousin's question, he could only take a deep breath and keep smiling, "Of course it's fine."

"Where are you going now, brother?"

".Dong He's home"

"Dong He? Isn't his family in decline? Why did you visit him, brother? Is it for talents? I see talents are everywhere in our clan, as plentiful as mud and sand. Why do you have to go far away and look for someone close by?"

"You don't understand." Kuai Liang said lightly, with no intention of explaining at all.

The Kuai family disciple thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, aren't you afraid that Dong He will also reject your kindness?"

"reject?!"

As if a sore spot had been hit, Kuai Liang raised his voice several tones. He pointed at the wooden boxes carried by the servants. Through the cracks in the boxes, one could glimpse gold and silver.

The significance of this was so great that even the members of the Kuai family who followed Kuai Liang were secretly astonished.

"Haha, Huo Du is just an ignorant boy, how can he understand the importance of family learning?"

"makes sense."

Seeing that the Kuai family member agreed with his opinion, Kuai Liang's expression eased, nodded and continued: "So I will give the money to Dong He first."

The young man from the Kuai family nodded and said, "Brother is really thoughtful. No one can stop it, let alone Dong and Wang He!" Suddenly, Kuai Liang felt that this person had become much more pleasing to the eye, and even his words sounded much more pleasant to the ear.

Anyway, it’s safe this time.

With strong confidence, Kuai Liang came to Dong He's home. Since Dong He and Huo Du were from the same county, the journey was not very far, and even if it took a few days to prepare money and belongings, it should not have a big impact.

"Brother, brother, what's going on? The villagers around are looking at you and me."

The voices of the Kuai family's children brought Kuai Liang's thoughts back to the present. He looked around and saw a lot of haggard faces. They were hiding timidly like lambs behind the dilapidated fence.

Kuai Liang smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to them. They must know that we want to give them money and family education. People in Guizhou love to daydream and dream of becoming successful overnight. Talking to them would only insult our identities."

"Oh."

One villager puffed up his chest and kindly reminded: "Sir, don't go forward."

Kuai Liang smiled and said nothing. He stuffed a piece of gold into the young man's pocket and glanced at the man. The young man immediately understood what he meant. He said to the villagers, "Yes, we have something important to do. Let's leave quickly!"

The villagers just left in disappointment.

Watching the group walking away, the villagers whispered
"That direction should be Dong He's home?"

“Exactly.”

"If I remember correctly, Dong He left in a hurry a few days ago, right?"

"good"

"it seems that"

"Go north to find the master."

"So, they came up empty-handed?"

"Who can I blame? You didn't even listen to me."

"That's all, just go away."

"what?!"

“Dong Youzai isn’t here?!”

Looking at the old man weaving baskets in front of the door, Kuai Liang felt his face getting hot and his nose was crooked with anger. One or two of them were like this. The former left without saying goodbye, and the latter he couldn't even see. Where could he put his old face?
The nameless fire in my heart burned more and more fiercely.

It happened that the young man of the Kuai family asked again: "Brother, what should we do now?"

He glared at the Kuai family member and angrily said, "Let's discuss this again when we get back!"

Then Kuai Liang adjusted his mentality, suppressed his anger, and bowed to the old man, "Farewell, old man!"

"Kuai Jun, Patriarch, Mr. Zirou is back!"

The servant hurried over to report, causing Cai Mao to laugh out loud: "Yi Du, Yi Du, I told you, if Brother Zi Rou takes action, he will definitely capture them. I believe the two talented people are right outside the door."

"It would be superfluous for you to invite the heads of all the families to come and have a chat!"

"Come with me quickly to congratulate Brother Zirou!"

"Huh? Why aren't you moving?"

Seeing Kuai Yue standing still, Cai Mao secretly thought that it was not good, but since Kuai Yue was there, he was too lazy to think too much and asked directly: "Did I say something wrong?"

Kuai Yue looked up at Cai Mao and said calmly, "Don't tell him that we have invited the heads of various families. Just keep your normal appearance."

"Oh." Cai Mao retracted his steps and sat down steadily.

Not long after, Kuai Liang walked in with a gloomy face. Even Cai Mao knew that Kuai Liang must have hit a wall.

Kuai Yue didn't say much, just said lightly: "Brother, have some tea."

"it is good."

Kuai Liang almost squeezed out these words from his teeth.

He came to the stone table, picked up the teapot, poured it into the teacup, and found it was empty. He asked: "Why is it empty? Is there no tea?!"

"No tea." Kuai Yue said calmly, "No tea, can't we just add more?"

"!"

"I see!"

"I understand!"

Kuai Liang stood up vigorously.

Cai Mao frowned. No, Brother Zirou, what did you understand? !
Youzhou
Looking at the captured Wuhuan cavalry, Tian Yu felt relieved when he followed Tian Kai into Gongsun Zan's army. He thought to himself that this is what a real man should be like!
"Guorang, don't look at it anymore. I'll talk to you when we get back."

Tian Kai's voice brought Tian Yu's thoughts back to the present, and he clasped his fists and said "Yes".

Tian Yu, who was rushing towards the garrison, saw barbarians with their hair loose and their clothes worn on the left side walking on the road openly. He couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked Tian Kai, who was from the same clan.

"General, why are these barbarians allowed to walk on the road? According to what General Gongsun said, the barbarians are all unreliable. Should we kill them if we should?"

Tian Kai sighed, "It's all because of the new governor."

"The new governor, are you talking about Liu Yu, the humble and gentlemanly Liu Bo'an?"

"Yes, this man is a true gentleman. He is especially kind to both peddlers and noble scholars. Even when it comes to foreigners, he treats them differently from General Gongsun. He said that if they just kill, there will be no one left in Youzhou. As long as they swear to repent, he is willing to give them a chance. I think he is really soft-hearted."

Seems to make sense
Tian Yu secretly thought that there were not many Han people in Youzhou, so killing them alone would not solve the problem, but letting them go would not be much better.
Shaking his head, Tian Yu expelled this man for the time being. He was just a small general, so why should he care about him? He was not a senior official in charge of this matter.

The two men spoke in silence all the way to the garrison. When they reached Gongsun Zan's tent, they heard a "bang".

It should be the sound of a clay pot falling to the ground.

Gongsun Yue hurriedly shouted, "Brother, this is a porcelain jar given to you by Xuande. It has a special meaning. Don't be impulsive!"

"Yue, get out of here!"

"What happened? Brother, why don't you tell me?"

"Tell me?! Did you know? Liu Xuande actually wrote me a letter!"

"A letter? That's a good thing. Look, brother, Xuande has a high position but he still remembers you. Doesn't that mean you are doing the right thing by helping him?"

This sentence seemed to hit Gongsun Zan's pain, and Gongsun Zan's voice rose several tones.
"What do you know?!"

"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande actually asked me to be considerate of Liu Bo'an?! That's really great, now that you've become His Majesty's brother, you've forgotten the affections of an elder brother like me, right?!"

"Teach me how to deal with the Wuhuan. What do you mean by using both kindness and force? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid?!"

"It's simply biased towards Liu Bo'an!"

Gongsun Yue said, "Brother, where is the letter? Can you let me see it?"

"Take it!"

Gongsun Yue began to read the letter. Tian Yu outside the tent listened very carefully. In his opinion, the letter was sincere and heartfelt. The letter did not forget to add the word "brother" when addressing Gongsun Zan. Even the words used for suggestions were clever.

no problem.

Tian Yu just felt it was strange. Unlike Gongsun Zan, he had a particularly good impression of Liu Bei who wrote the letter, and what he said in the letter hit the nail on the head.

"Liu Xuande?"

"I remember."
