Chapter 203

The inn is Liu Bei's residence.

After returning to the inn from the Tianshi temple, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's temper is always on the verge of breaking out, and they even have the impulse to smash the Tianshi temple. What kind of God's temple claims that they will die in the future. Fortunately, under Liu Bei's pressure, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't make trouble.

For Zhang Fei, the approval of Taoist Chang Qing's life is an insult.

For Guan Yu, Taoist Changqing underestimated his ability.

Liu Bei has been indifferent and calm.

As he said at the Tianshi temple, no matter what the final outcome is, Liu Bei will never change his ambition. Even if there is a sea of fire ahead, he will make a breakthrough.

The next morning, Liu Bei got up early to wash his clothes, put on his official clothes, and was ready to go to the prefecture. He left time for Liu Biao to consider, that is, let Liu Biao raise food.

Liu Biao didn't move all the time. Liu Bei was very worried and had to go there in person.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, outside the room.

"Who?" Liu Bei asked

"Lord, I'm Zhao Yun."

A loud voice sounded outside the room, and Liu Bei opened the door.

Zhao Yun is in his early 30s. He has sword eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyes are like stars and his nose is like gall. He is handsome and elegant. He is a scholar general. Standing at the door of the room, dressed in a white robe, dignified.

Liu Bei opened the door with a happy look on his face and said, "Zilong, come in quickly. How did you come to Xiangyang?"

Zhao Yun entered the room and said, "it was the military adviser who asked me to come."

Liu Bei's expression made him nervous.

Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang 100% and even handed over all the military and political power to Liu Bei. I have to say that this is not only Liu Bei's courage, but also Liu Bei's instrument. Liu Bei has no doubt about the selection of people and no doubt about them. He has no doubt about the people he has chosen and gives his full support to them.

In fact, Zhuge Liang did feel respected and trusted by Liu Bei.

During his stay in Xinye, Zhuge Liang worked hard and did his best, not daring to relax.

Zhao Yun zhengse said: "the military division bought grain in Xinye, but it had little effect. Today, in addition to the apparent 10000 soldiers in the army, the other 20000 are short of food. The military adviser said that the hidden 20000 soldiers were the Lord's trump card, but the food supply in Xinye was limited and could not support 20000 people. Please try your best to mediate and raise at least 100000 grains. Only in this way can the army be maintained, together with the grain production of the army. "

"A hundred thousand stones!"

Liu Bei only has a handful of flowers, which is not a small sum.

One hundred thousand stone grain, too much.

Liu Biao would be shocked if he heard this number.

Liu Bei expression embarrassed, said: "so much food, in a hurry, not together?"

Zhao Yun took out a brocade bag from his clothes and handed it to Liu Bei. He said, "the military adviser said, please open the brocade bag and write on it what to do."

In Liu Bei's eyes, a happy look suddenly appeared.

After opening the brocade bag, Liu Bei's expression became bitter gourd color.

Zhao Yun said, "my Lord, what does the military adviser say?"

Liu Bei said: "the military adviser said that we should make an alliance with Liu Xiu, and then borrow grain from the Huang family and Pang family through Liu Xiu. The Huang family and Pang family run Quyuan plows, bobbins and so on. They have rich financial resources and countless grains. They can at least produce 100000 grains. "

Zhao Yun said: "in this case, we will go to Liu Xiu immediately."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "it's easy to make a military plan, but it's hard to do it. The main reason is that we have a problem with Liu Xiu. When I came to Xiangyang this time, I met Liu Xiu in Tianshi temple a few days ago, and there was another conflict. Well, it's really difficult. "

on Zhao yunjunlang's cheek, there was a look of embarrassment.

When Liu Xiu and Liu Bei clashed in Xinye, Zhao Yun led the troops outside, but did not see Liu Xiu. This time Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he had a conflict with Liu Xiu, but Zhao Yun didn't see Liu Xiu.

Zhao Yun browed dignified, said: "if the food can not make up, the consequences are very serious."

Zhao Yun is clear about the situation in the army.

If there is not enough food, it will be very difficult to expand the army.

Liu Bei clenched his teeth and said, "in the strategist's plan, he said that he would form an alliance with Liu Xiu. If we don't form an alliance with Liu Xiu, we will be able to gather all the food. The Kuai and Cai families in Jingzhou are all big families, and they also have numerous farmlands and shops. If the CAI and Kuai families are willing to borrow food, it will be much easier. "

Zhao Yun asked, "Lord, how much grain is Liu Biao willing to take out?"

Liu Bei said: "I don't know for the moment. Today, I'm going to the prefecture to confirm the grain."

Zhao Yun said: "the end will wait for the good news of the Lord in the inn."

Liu Bei said, "don't you go back to Xinye?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "the military adviser said that food is very important. Let me stay in Xiangyang for a while and listen to the Lord's dispatch."

Liu Bei said: "well, one more person, one more strength."Immediately, Liu Bei got up and left the inn.

When he arrived at the prefecture, Liu Bei saw Liu Biao in the hall. Liu Bei looked anxious and said, "brother Jingsheng, this morning, Bei received the news from Xinye that there is not enough food in the army. The situation is very critical."

Liu Biao said with a smile, "if you don't come today, I will send someone for you. After several days of raising money for my brother, I raised ten thousand stone grain for you. Dear brother, the harvest in Xiangyang this year is not very good, and Jingzhou also needs a lot of food. Therefore, the grain for my brother is only ten thousand stones. "

"Ten thousand stones!"

Liu Bei's eyes showed a look of disappointment.

In his expectation, Liu Biao had to raise at least 30000 stone grains, or even more. Unexpectedly, it was only 10000 stone.

Liu Bei said: "brother Jingsheng, ten thousand stone grain will not last long. Brother Jingsheng, can you help raise money again? "

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "my dear brother, these ten thousand stone grains are all picked from the rations of the soldiers in the army. It's not easy. If the younger brother thinks that there is less, let it go. "

On hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "ten thousand is ten thousand, which can at least alleviate the problem of food shortage. Thank you, brother Jingsheng. Ten thousand stone grain. Please arrange for it to be transported to Xinye as soon as possible. "

Liu Biao said with a smile: "you should try your best, and you can rest assured."

Liu Bei sighed and said, "now there is a shortage of food, so we have to think about something. So I won't disturb brother Jingsheng. Goodbye. "

"Not far away!"

Liu Biao smiles and looks at Liu Bei leaving with a sneer in his heart.

Liu Bei left the prefecture and was very disappointed. Instead of going back to the inn immediately, he went to the Cai family to borrow food from Cai Mao. Liu Biao's contribution to Liu Bei's decrease in grain is due to Cai Mao. Cai Mao naturally won't agree to borrow grain. After some shirking, Liu Bei left disappointed.

After leaving the Cai family, Liu Bei went to the Kuai family with great hope. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue stood on Liu Xiu's side and agreed to Liu Xiu earlier. Naturally, they would not borrow food. After some shirking, Liu Bei came back in vain.

After a series of failures, Liu Bei was also frustrated and began to hesitate.

Do you really want to ask Liu Xiu?

Liu Bei was deeply humiliated, but thinking of his hegemony, he finally made up his mind and decided to visit Liu Xiu. He went back to the Inn and told Zhao Yun the news that Liu Biao had borrowed ten thousand stone grain. Zhao Yun also thought it was too little.

Zhao Yun asked, "Lord, what's next?"

Liu Bei said: "the Cai family and the Kuai family do not borrow grain. The only way is to ask Liu Xiu. Second younger brother and third younger brother are impatient, and they have a grudge with Liu Xiu, so it's not appropriate to meet. They stay in the inn, and you follow me to see Liu Xiu. "

"No!"

Zhao Yun nodded and agreed.
