The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Shi Tao didn't expect Liu Bei, Cheng Yu and others to be so interested in Mr. Shui Jing.

He was also very pleasantly surprised, and immediately agreed.

"Since my lord is interested, I will take my lord to find Mr. Shui Jing tomorrow."

"So good!"

After everyone finished discussing, they dispersed and took a good rest for a day.

On the second day, Shi Tao came to find Liu Bei as promised, and Cheng Yu's people planned to take them to the mountain village in Yingchuan to find the reclusive Mr. Shui Jing.

Liu Bei and Cheng Yu also got up early, because they knew they were going to see Mr. Shui Jing today, so they were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.

Under Shi Tao's guidance.

There were not many people in the group, only four or five people, and they circled in the mountains along a mountain path.

After walking for several hours, Liu Bei and others were a little tired.

Only then did I see a paradise in a forest in the mountains.

This is a small village, there are several families, all of which are thatched houses.

In front of the house, there is a large piece of fertile land cultivated and the crops are growing vigorously.

There are many kinds of vegetables in the fence surrounded by the fence.

There are also some melons and fruits, and this is the harvest season.

Looking good.

There are still a few people working in the field.

In a gazebo.

Several people were drinking tea and discussing the topic.

Shi Tao led Liu Bei, Cheng Yu and others stepped forward and knocked on the door.

This attracted the attention of everyone in the stone pavilion.

An old man led the others walking quickly.

"There are very few visitors in my valley, I wonder how many of you are?"

"Oh, it's little friend Shi Tao."

The old man was about to ask who these people were, when he suddenly caught sight of Shi Tao standing behind the line, and recognized them.

However, there are four or five people in this group, and he only knows one Shi Tao.

The others are still unfamiliar.

He could only look at Shi Tao suspiciously, hoping that Shi Tao would introduce them to them.

"Mr. Decao (Sima Hui's nickname), I haven't seen you for a long time, you are being polite."

"Why do you have time to come to my humble room?"

Seeing Shi Tao, he knew that these people were not outsiders, so Sima Hui didn't look outside that much. He stretched out his hand friendly and led everyone into the courtyard and then to the gazebo.

Several people were already waiting there in the gazebo.

It was Han Song and Cuizhou Pingping that Shi Tao mentioned earlier.

"Today is Mr. Decao's first meeting in March. I shouldn't have disturbed you by coming here rashly."

Shi Tao took the initiative to say sorry to the few people present.

"Where is it, the visitor is a guest, besides, little friend Shi Tao is not an outsider."

"Just, who are these people?"

Chapter 1000 two hundred 36 Mr. Shui Jing

Sima Hui took the initiative to bring the topic to Liu Bei, Cheng Yu, Guan Yu and others who followed Shi Tao and came together.

Sima Hui was still very curious about the identities of these people.

After all, the clothes of these people are extraordinary at first glance, and they are incomparable with poor hermits like them.

Especially Guan Yu, although he is not fighting on the battlefield now.

But he was still wearing a suit of armor.

Although he is not fully armed, it can be clearly seen that he is a military commander on the battlefield.

In this way, Sima Hui and Cui Zhouping became more interested in the few people brought by Shi Tao.

Shi Tao originally planned to introduce people like Liu Bei to Sima Hui and others.

It's just that I haven't had time to speak yet.

Sima Hui had already asked him questions first.

Now that Sima Hui had asked, Shi Tao hastily saluted them, and took a step back, allowing more space to show Liu Bei beside him.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, the great general of the dynasty."

"what!"

"You are Liu Xuande!"

"Mr. Xuande! My God, why did Mr. Xuande appear here?"

"It is rumored that Xuande's ears are drooping and his arms are above his knees. That's right, this is Duke Xuande!"

Shi Tao just introduced Liu Bei to these few people.These people immediately turned pale with shock.

First, they showed a look of disbelief, and then they thought about Liu Bei's rumors in the outside world.

In front of the combination, the appearance of this person was actually somewhat similar to the rumors from the outside world, so most of them believed it.

It's just that they are still wondering, shouldn't Liu Bei, the great general of the dynasty, be in the court at the moment?

How did you come here to Yingchuan?

Mr. Shui Jing, who lives in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, is naturally not aware of the current situation in the outside world.

Fortunately, Cui Zhouping, who was on the side, knew more things, and immediately explained something when everyone was confused.

"I heard that General Liu Bei is leading an army of tens of thousands to attack Nanyang County recently, and fought with Liu Zheng's troops in the Wancheng area of ​​Nanyang. It is not surprising that the Xuande Guild appears here!"

What Cui Zhouping said made Sima Hui realize immediately.

"Your Excellency is really Duke Xuande?"

"Student Liu Bei, I have met you gentlemen."

Liu Bei has always been humble and respectful, even though he is now in a high position.

But facing these famous celebrities in front of him, he still played a humble role.

And gave these celebrities enough face.

He not only regards himself as a student, but also salutes in front of them.

This made these people feel good about Liu Bei immediately.

They already had a good impression of Liu Bei, but now they met the real Liu Bei.

He is full of praise for Liu Bei.

"Mr. Xuande, don't do this. We are all common people and cannot afford such a big gift."

"Mr. Shui Jing was joking. You are all talented people. I consider myself a student. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I just hope that I can learn something from you, so this trip is worthwhile."

The purpose of Liu Bei's coming here is to win over Mr. Shui Jing and others, and wants them to come out of the mountain, so as to attract more celebrities to join him.

Mr. Shui Jing has a wide network of contacts, especially in this land of Yingchuan. Once Liu Bei can get Mr. Shui Jing's favor, even if he can't directly invite Mr. Shui Jing to help him, he will definitely be able to get Mr. Shui Jing to recommend some powerful people give him.

This is what Liu Bei needs, and now he is too short of available people.

Liu Zheng's subordinates are full of famous generals and advisers, but Liu Bei's subordinates are not many available.

Compared with Liu Zheng, Liu Bei is simply too short of people, so it is still necessary to curry favor with Mr. Shui Jing.

With Shi Tao's recommendation and Liu Bei's previous reputation, Sima Hui and others became very interested in Liu Bei for a while, and everyone became familiar with him.

Liu Bei introduced Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and his second brother Guan Yu to them.

Liu Bei also met at this moment, Cui Zhouping, Han Song, Meng Jian and others who were with Mr. Shui Jing.

Han Song, courtesy name Degao, was born in Yiyang.Less eager to learn, poor do not change their aspirations.Seeing that the world would be in chaos, he lived in seclusion in Lixi Mountain with several friends.In the future, Liu Biao was a farewell, but he didn't get along with Liu Biao, so he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and lived in seclusion again.

Cui Jun, courtesy name Zhouping, was born in Anping, Boling.Minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, son of Taiwei Cui Lie, younger brother of Yilang Cui Jun.

He is quite famous for being a hero in less knots.He served successively as the general of Huben Zhonglang and the prefect of Qianxihe.After the little emperor came to the throne, Cui Zhouping's father, Cui Lie, was murdered by He Miao. Because he was afraid of He Miao's influence, Cui Zhouping had to return to his hometown and temporarily live in seclusion.

In addition to these two, there are three others.

It was Lord Pang De, with his sons Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong.

Liu Bei communicated with these people, and was extremely interested in the talents of these people. After all, those who can live in seclusion, their abilities are not too bad.

It is precisely because of the unrecognized talent that he has the idea of ​​living in seclusion.

If they didn't have any talents, they wouldn't dare to live in seclusion, but would try their best to keep their positions, and they were reluctant to let go.

After Liu Bei communicated with these people one by one, he opened his mouth and sent his invitation to these people, wanting to invite them to come out of the mountain to help him.

However, it was the first time for Liu Bei to meet these people. Although they had a good impression of Liu Bei, they were too hasty.

Mr. Shui Jing immediately rejected Liu Bei's invitation.

It was Cui Zhouping who agreed.

Cui Zhouping was originally a member of the Cui family, and had been in the officialdom for a long time. After He Miao's death, their Cui family also began to gradually re-enter the officialdom.

Now with Liu Bei's recommendation, Cui Zhouping can be promoted faster under Liu Bei's command.

Of course, what Liu Bei valued more was a young man who followed Pang Degong, Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was young, only sixteen or seventeen years old.

This age is about the same age as Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, but during the conversation here just now, Liu Bei was able to draw some different views on the current troubled times from Pang Tong's mouth.

Pang Tong's eloquent talk not only made Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, Mr. Pang De and others praise him, but even Liu Bei was very interested in this young man.

If Pang Tong was not too young, Liu Bei at this moment would have directly invited Pang Tong to become an official.

Liu Bei has been staying here for two days and had a great time chatting with these celebrities. Although he didn't directly invite them to come out of the mountain, it was worthwhile and rewarding.

Inviting Cui Zhouping to help him is equivalent to getting the support of the Cui family.

Liu Bei believed that if he came a few more times and had a good relationship with Mr. Shui Jing, he would definitely be able to impress Mr. Shui Jing, and then Mr. Shui Jing would definitely help him.

After making up his mind, Liu Bei bid farewell and left this time.

For the next period of time, Guan Yu continued to harass Wancheng according to Liu Bei's order. Of course, Guan Yu didn't need to go out in person, he just let his generals go.

Don't look, Liu Zheng's [-] troops are stationed in Nanyang County, but they all know how powerful Liu Bei's men are.

He didn't dare to go out of the city easily to fight with Guan Yu's men, but adopted a strategy of sticking to it, staying behind closed doors, unless Guan Yu's men attacked the city, he would really fight the enemy.

Anyway, in the eyes of Liu Zheng's people, defense is more advantageous than offense.

After all, the attacking side will spend much more financial and material resources.More food and grass will be consumed, and more manpower will be wasted.

Chapter 1000 two hundred 37 The situation is grim

Waited until October.

On the Jingzhou battlefield, the war in Nanyang County is not over yet.

Liu Zheng's men did not take the initiative to attack, but only adopted a defensive policy.

It's not that Liu Zheng's men are afraid of Liu Bei, but that Liu Zheng has received the news that his Jin Yiwei sent Liu Zheng information from Xiliang.

Liu Zheng found out about Xiliang, and the sudden appearance of [-] mysterious cavalry.

Jianye.

Royal study.
