******************
After long-distance raids, running around day and night, after several days of rushing, Yuan Shang, Zhang Fei and more than two hundred people finally arrived in the land of Runan.

After entering the city, all the people rushed to the prefect's mansion without stopping.
"Big brother, big brother!"

Zhang Fei entered the prefect's mansion without stopping, and rushed directly into the main hall, his loud voice shook the beams, and the dust that hadn't been wiped for a long time fell straight down with Zhang Fei's loud and clear voice.

Liu Bei was discussing with Guan Yu, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others about raising enough food and pay for the army, when he heard someone calling him so loudly, he couldn't help being surprised.

Looking up, it was Zhang Fei who suddenly rushed into the hall and said loudly, "Brother, brother, I'm back!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Fei who came back, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Liu Bei's expression showed a trace of relaxation, and he nodded and smiled, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Zhang Fei greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone naturally greeted each other for a while.

When I was young, everyone had finished asking questions, Liu Bei immediately changed the topic to the main topic: "Third brother went to Yangdi this time, I don't know what he gained?"

Zhang Fei laughed out loud, and there was a hint of complacency in his smile, which made everyone confused. They didn't know that Zhang Fei was so complacent when he went to Yangdi this time.

"Brother, I went to Yangdi to investigate this time, but I saw that the city walls are tall and strong, and there are two military camps in the east and west. Looking at the formation, there are nearly [-] troops and horses, so it is not easy to attack." Zhang Fei finished laughing. After that, he reported what he observed and investigated to Liu Bei.

There was no surprise on Liu Bei's face, he just nodded upon hearing this.

Zhang Fei cleared his throat, and then explained the specific content of this investigation to Liu Bei and everyone in the hall.

After listening to Zhang Fei's words, everyone's expressions became more or less dark.

Although Yang Zhai's heavy defense had been expected for a long time, but after receiving the accurate information from Zhang Fei, everyone felt a little frustrated and helpless.

If the information brought back by Zhang Fei is true, this land of Yingchuan is truly hopeless.

Liu Bei stroked the beard on his chin, frowned, and suddenly changed the topic: "Third brother has contributed a lot to this hard work, but where is the third son Yuan now? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Zhang Fei's face froze immediately when he heard this, and the needle-like tiger's whiskers trembled for a while before forcing out an ugly smile.

"That kid. He. He goes"

"Don't worry, fellow immortals, my grandson is here!" But there was a strange monkey cry outside the hall, accompanied by some strange tunes that no one had heard before.

Everyone looked up and saw Yuan Shang trotting into the hall.

When he arrived, he saw Yuan Shang wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeves up, and said to himself: "I haven't sung for many years, but this Beijing accent is a bit out of date."

Seeing Yuan Shang coming, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Nephew came very slowly, but it made Bei feel puzzled for a long time. I don't know why nephew was a step late and didn't come with Yi De?"

Yuan Shang blinked strangely: "I'll go back to the barracks to pick up the loot first, General Zhang, didn't you make it clear to Duke Xuande?"

Zhang Fei's face twitched, and he said lightly: "Just now I put this on my lips, but I was scared back by your strange tone just now."

Yuan Shang was amused when he heard the words, and patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said: "General Zhang, you really know how to joke. If you have a scary voice, who can compare with you, General Zhang? You can cry to God when you howl."

Zhang Fei: "."

Liu Bei shook his head, although he didn't say anything, he sighed secretly in his heart. He could tell that his upright third younger brother must have been tortured a lot by this stick when he went to Yangzhai County to investigate.

Think about the big dark and round face of the third younger brother, who hadn't seen him for a few days, and now his chin is a little bit out.

Zhang Fei ignored Yuan Shang and continued the topic just now: "Brother, younger brother went to Yangdi this time. Not only did he find out that Xia Houyuan had a lot of soldiers and horses, the city was high and deep, and it was not easy to attack, but he also captured one of them alive. Form some constraints on Xia Houyuan."

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard the words, and said: "Oh, who did the third brother capture to restrain Xia Houyuan? Hurry up and take him with you, and meet with brother Wei."

Zhang Fei laughed, turned his head and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Please come up with that young lady!"

When I was young, I saw soldiers leading a beautiful woman in a goose-yellow water shirt to the hall. The woman's appearance was as soft and charming as water, and her temperament was not vulgar. .

Although Xia Houjuan is in poverty at this time, she is still knowledgeable and respectful with a good education. After scanning the crowd in the hall, she bowed slightly from the distant half of her body, but directed at Liu Bei who was at the top. A salute.

Everyone in the hall looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Xia Houjuan with curiosity in their eyes.
With this woman, how to restrain Xia Houyuan?

Liu Bei looked Xia Houjuan up and down for a moment, and asked, "Yide, who is this woman?"

Zhang Fei laughed boldly, and said with a sly smile: "Brother, let me be a fool, just ask her who she is and what relationship she has with Xia Houyuan, and you will know the truth."

Liu Bei thought for a moment, then stood up, smiled kindly at Xia Houjuan, and said, "I don't know Miss Fang's name, but who is she, why was my brother arrested? What is the relationship between you and Xia Houyuan?"

Seeing Liu Bei's kind appearance and kind tone, Xia Houjuan was completely different from Zhang Fei's tone and tone, and felt a little less fearful in his heart. He made a blessing for Liu Bei, and opened his mouth to answer:
"Aba, aba, aba aba."

Liu Bei: "."

Zhang Fei: "."

On the left side of the main hall, Zhou Cang, a big man standing behind Guan Yu, couldn't help being very surprised when he heard the words, and said strangely: "What this woman said is so strange, could it be that she is of a different race?"

Jian Yong on the opposite side heard the words, while stroking his beard, he shook his head and explained: "When I was young, I lived in the land of Youyan for a long time, and I had many contacts with various ethnic groups outside the Mobei Great Wall, but I am quite proficient in several foreign languages. It is correct to observe that the words used by this woman belong to the Xianbei Shanrong in the Western Plains of Mobei, and the tone of her words and tones are the language of the Wuluohun clan, so it is difficult to understand."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized that this woman was from Wuhuan, outside the Great Northern Territory.

At this moment, there was an untimely coughing sound in the hall.

"Cough, cough!"

It was Yuan Shang who coughed and attracted everyone's attention, and explained with a frown: "Mr. Jian is indeed a well-informed senior, and he can even master such a remote foreign language subject as Wu Luohun so clearly. Mr. Jian What a genius! I am deeply impressed, but it's a pity that this girl is dumb, otherwise we can check the truth with her."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Everyone blushed when they heard the words.

Jian Yong's face was flushed, and he gave Yuan Shang a hard look.

This hateful Yuan family boy.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhang Fei rather dissatisfied, his eyes were piercing, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident
Since she is dumb, why do you ask me to ask her?Could it be that he deliberately made fun of his brother?
Third brother, you have learned badly.

Zhang Fei was also quite embarrassed, he gave Liu Bei a slight salute, and said shamelessly: "Brother, forgive me, I was proud of it for a while, so I forgot about this trouble."

Liu Bei sighed, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I still need to encourage you in the future."

"promise"

Turning his head, Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shang and said, "Master Yuan San must know the origin of this woman, and I hope you can clear up the doubts for Bei."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It's easy to say, this woman was obtained by General Zhang and I when we were picking mulberries outside Yangzhai City. Her surname is Xiahou, and her name is not clear. Is it true that she is ours?" The great enemy is Xia Houyuan's niece and niece."

Hearing the words, everyone's faces were moved, and their eyes on Xia Houjuan also began to flicker uncontrollably.

Seeing that the attack on Yangdi was about to take place, Xiahouyuan's niece was actually captured. God helped me. If this girl is used properly, the city of Yangdi may not be able to go down in one go.

Mi Zhu reacted the fastest, and hastily advised Liu Bei, "My lord, since this girl is Xiahouyuan's niece, if she is used properly, it is impossible to lure Xiahouyuan out of Runan. At that time, our army will be able to fight against her in the wild without forcing the city. Already!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, nodded and said, "That's right, if we can lure Xiahouyuan's soldiers and horses out for a fair decisive battle, our army's soldiers and horses, together with the five thousand people of Yuan Sangong, will be absolutely powerful. On top of Xiahouyuan, if we fight at that time, our army can defeat Xiahou first, and then take Yingchuan! In this way, the event is settled!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, and said: "The words of the second brother and Zi Zhong are very close to my heart, so it has been decided like this. As for how to use this woman to lure Xia Houyuan out of the city, we will discuss slowly in a while. Yide, let Xia Houyuan go first. Miss, take it down, remember to guard it carefully, so as not to cause trouble."

Zhang Fei laughed and raised his voice, "Brother, don't worry!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei raised his hand to Xiahou Juan and said, "Miss Xiahou, please come this way with me."

Xia Houjuan was terrified when he saw Zhang Fei, and when he saw that he was going to take him away, his face paled with fright, his whole body trembled like he was in pain, and his autumn crystal eyes looked back and forth in the hall Xunmo finally landed on Yuan Shang.

As soon as he saw Yuan Shang, Xia Houjuan's face brightened immediately, with tears in his eyes, and he looked deeply at Yuan Shang, which not only contained infinite hardship and fear, but also had another hidden meaning - help me!

Yuan Shang's face couldn't help changing when he saw it.

What do you mean?There are so many people in the hall, why did they come at me! ?

Do I look like a scammer?It shouldn't be, I look very handsome!
Xia Houjuan blinked his eyes lightly, and the tears in his eyes slowly flowed down his cheeks, and the deep meaning in them obviously increased a bit—please help me.

Yuan Shang's face twitched slightly, he hesitated for a while, finally heaved a long sigh, and nodded helplessly.
Okay, I admit I'm a takeover, but it's important to emphasize that I'm a handsome takeover.

"Mr. Xuande." Yuan Shang stood up, cupped his hands slightly towards Liu Bei, and said, "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, I think your way of dealing with Miss Xiahou is inappropriate."

When Liu Bei saw Yuan Shang's words, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, Mr. Yuan San?"

Yuan Shang cleared his throat and said: "I heard that those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives, and those who govern the world with benevolence will not be sacrificed to others. Xuande Gong is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, Kuangjun assisted the country, and the great enemy, Cao Cao Also, act with urgency, act with leniency, act with violence, act with benevolence, act with deceit, act with loyalty, only in this way can great things be achieved, and the world will pay attention. Now, in order to deal with Xia Houyuan, arresting his niece is a bit dirty. Putting it in prison, and spreading the word in the future, how will the people of the world think of Duke Xuande? I’m afraid it will be harmful to Duke Xuande’s reputation.”

Liu Bei couldn't help being very surprised when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the Yuan family boy, who has always been foolish and inconspicuous, would actually say such a remark today, and the reasons for it are pertinent and quite useful.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shang vigorously for a while, as if he wanted to see if this person was real or not.

After a long time, Liu Bei coughed heavily, nodded and said: "What the third son said is true, it is because Bei was negligent, treating other people's family members poorly, but it is not the act of a benevolent person."

Yuan Shang nodded and smiled: "So, Duke Xuande should regard her as a guest of honor and arrange her in the post house, just like me. She will be provided with delicious food and drink, and when it is passed on, the world will know How kind Xuande treats the enemy's family!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words: "The third son is thoughtful."

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Yuan Shang felt relieved, and continued: "Xuande Gong captured the enemy general Xia Houyuan's niece and did not kill him, and she took good care of her food and drink. When the time comes, she must be famous and everyone will praise her. By the way. If we can give Miss Xia Hou a monthly salary and annual subsidies, the effect will be icing on the cake! If Cao Jun’s generals and advisers know that Xuan Degong is so righteous, not only will he not kill the hostages, but he will also pay them on time. Monthly salary, I must be very yearning in my heart, maybe all of them will send their wives and daughters to Xuande Gong as hostages to get the salary. If Cao Cao sends generals to attack in the future, we will send the other generals His wives and children beat them with big ears, and within three years, not only will the Cao bandits perish, but the Han Dynasty will prosper, and the women's planning in our Runan County must also be in full swing and flourishing day by day."

Liu Bei was so angry that he grabbed half of his beard, wishing he could go up and slap Yuan Shang.
This bastard boy, just now he felt that his words were to the point, and now he started talking nonsense again, it's so fucking annoying.
Swallowing this breath forcefully, Liu Bei twitched the corner of his mouth, and said forcefully: "Young master's words are very kind, and you should consider it carefully, but the matter of paying Miss Xiahou's monthly salary. Forget it."

Yuan Shang said with regret when he heard the words: "Mr. Xuande didn't accept my words, so don't regret it in the future."
