Chapter 247 245. Testing Liu Bei (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

After Guo Jia finished speaking, someone quickly reacted.

Yes, if all the troops in Jiangdong were concentrated on attacking Chai Sang... maybe they would have reached Jiangxia by now and retired with success.

Cao Cao then laughed and said, "What Fengxiao said is absolutely true!"

It would not be in his interest for Sun Ce to capture Yuzhang and Chaisang and greatly increase his strength, or for Jingzhou to severely damage Jiangdong's army.

His purpose was just to let Jiangdong hold back Jingzhou.

How to drag?

Is it okay to send troops from a state east of the Yangtze River directly to plunder Jingzhou?

With Jingzhou's comprehensive defense, can it be stopped?

Of course not!

And this is also the only way out for Jiangdong, and it is also what they can operate, so that Jiangdong... can really hold back Jingzhou.

In this way, he can safely pacify Yuan Shao, and then go south to conquer Kyushu!

…

Huang Yueying didn't know that Xuchang was re-evaluating Jingzhou's strength. She was thinking about going north to give Liu Bei a try.

The area where Liu Bei is now is full of waste, and with the addition of the first batch of students from Xiangyang Academy, someone has finally graduated first.

She then grabbed Xiang Chong and Lu Deng, who were willing to go north, and set off together.

In advance, he had told Liu Biao that he wanted to see how the defense line in Jingbei should be set up. With the current war situation in Yuzhang, Liu Biao attached great importance to this. He hoped that Liu Bei's defense line would be set up more firmly.

Huang Yueying naturally agreed.

"Why does Achu want to be with us?" Xiang Chong didn't understand.

"Go north and see how the defense line here in Ye County is arranged." Huang Yueying explained.

Xiang Chong nodded, "That's true. There is no high city to defend in this area, but it is also difficult to do so."

Lu Deng waved his hand carelessly, "It is better to build a high city. Anyway, in a short period of time, the Cao thieves will still target Yuan Shao. Once it is built, even if the Cao thieves want to go south, they will have to see if General Zuo is willing.

Already."

Huang Yueying laughed. The two of them said helplessly, "Achu has something I want to ask my two brothers for."

"Oh?" The two of them were surprised.

"I wonder what it is?" Xiang Chong didn't immediately agree, but instead asked.

They are now heading north with their guards, and A Chucai said that he wants to ask them for help. So, what is this matter, and what does it have to do with the one in the north?

Lu Deng also looked at Huang Yueying, "What did Achu say?"

"This time I went north, firstly, for the northern defense line, and secondly, because of some personal matters."

"Private matter?"

Huang Yueying nodded, "This matter requires the cooperation of the two brothers."

Seeing Huang Yueying's expression, the two of them agreed without asking any more questions.

…

Ye County, recruitment hall.

Huang Yueying was quite surprised when she saw this shabby and dilapidated recruitment hall, because she heard that Liu Bei would come here almost every day, hoping to find wise men to support the Han Dynasty.

"Brothers, it's up to you." Then, she looked at Xiang Chong and Lu Deng, who had already prepared.

The two of them were... speechless for a while.

Well, who made them agree?

However, they actually also had some inquiring thoughts.

They had always heard of General Zuo, but they had never actually seen him.

So, the two of them looked at each other and asked Huang Yueying to check again, and then they went to knock on the door of the recruiting hall together.

The attendants at the Talent Recruitment Hall were a little stunned for a moment when they saw two men with shabby clothes, a gray complexion, and a bit of rancidity on their bodies. These... couldn't be sages, could they?

So he waved his hands and asked, "Are you two fleeing the famine here? I'm going to get some porridge, and you two can eat some."

Today's Ye County has hands and feet, but they are not what they are now. Therefore, when the attendant looked at Chong and the two of them, he thought they were fleeing the countryside.

"No, brother, we are here to ask for an audience with General Zuo." Xiang Chong shook his head in refusal and said, "Both of my brothers have great talents."

"Oh?" The attendant's eyes lit up and he said...are they really two gentlemen?

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll let you report this to General Zuo."

After saying that, he turned around and ran inside.

Xiang Chong and Lu Deng, the old gods are naturally waiting for them.

Not long after, Liu Bei was led by his attendants to the entrance of the recruiting hall... As a result, when he saw the appearance of the two brothers and smelled the touching odor, he was stunned and looked at the attendants.

The latter nodded seriously, "General, these two brothers are said to have great talents."

Liu Bei's face almost turned dark, but he still gave Xiang Chong a simple greeting and asked, "You two little brothers, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"Are you General Zuo?" Lu Deng asked next to him, then took a step forward and grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve.

"My surname is Liu Bei, and my courtesy name is Xuande." Liu Bei nodded helplessly.

"General Zuo, please." At this moment, a look of satisfaction flashed in Xiang Chong's eyes, and then he pulled Lu Deng back and bowed, "My two brothers, after hearing about General Zuo's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, came from Xudu across the mountains and rivers. It's rude.

Already."

When Liu Bei saw this, he felt strange. With such magnanimity and etiquette, he didn't seem to be an ordinary person. "I'm sorry."

"Now we are indeed in trouble. It has been three days and we haven't had enough to eat." Xiang Chong sighed.

"I will make people prepare to eat." Liu Bei said that eating was not difficult.

"But my brother won't have fun without wine, and I won't eat anything without meat." Lu Deng interjected.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, but the attendants behind him were a little angry, these two people!

"This will make people prepare." Liu Bei nodded with a smile, and then politely welcomed the two of them into the recruitment hall.

…

Seeing this, Huang Yueying ordered Huang Wu to send someone to report that Mr. Huang Chu was visiting.

As for where the notification came from, it was of course Liu Bei's general's palace.

…

Half an hour later.

Liu Bei was a little surprised when he heard the report from his attendants, but seeing the two brothers eating happily, for a moment... he didn't feel comfortable speaking.

He originally wanted to ask the two brothers what they were going to do, but they only said that he would wait until they were full, so he could only wait for them to eat. After thinking about it, he waved the attendant over and gave some instructions in a soft voice. The attendant followed the order and left.

While Xiang Chong was drinking, he saw that Liu Bei did not show any impatient look on his face after listening to the attendant's report. Instead, he asked the attendant to go back first, saying that he had some things to delay here and asked the young gentleman to wait a moment.

Then, his favorable impression of General Zuo became even higher.

With the two brothers dressed like this, most people would regard them as beggars and send them away with whatever they want.

On the contrary, Liu Bei showed full respect and satisfied their requests. Moreover, even if someone from the government said that important people came to visit, Liu Bei did not abandon them.

This kind of quality... is rare to see in a superior person.

After a while, the two brothers stopped using their chopsticks.

Xiang Chong then said to Liu Bei, "Thank you, General, for waiting for a long time."

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, "It's not hard."

"Actually, my two brothers came from Xudu because they heard that General Zuo was benevolent and willing to welcome back the emperor and give us and other common people a stable place to live." Xiang Chong explained.

Liu Bei was stunned and nodded, "That's it."

"Aren't you angry, general?" Lu Deng asked, "My two brothers deceived you."

Liu Bei laughed and shook his head, "I'm not angry."

"Why?" Xiang Chong didn't understand.

Liu Bei saw the appearance of the two brothers and said gently, "The world is in such chaos. Although it is wrong to deceive others for food, it is a last resort. I can understand."

Xiang Chong and Lu Deng were both silent.

This temperament... is a bit too good.

Chapter two today.
