Chapter 161 Knowing but not speaking is disloyal
Chapter 162 Knowing but not speaking is disloyal
Zhou Xing's house is very close to Liu Bei's residence, and it can be reached within a short walk.
Outside Liu Bei's house, Sun Kang suddenly stopped and asked Zhou Xing: "Wen Sheng, are we going to tell General Liu like this? We must at least think about how to deal with this first, right?"
However, Zhou Xing forced Sun Kang into the mansion.
"It's up to the master to decide how to deal with it. Brother, just tell the truth."
Sun Kang was pulled by Zhou Xing, and he felt as if he was being pulled by a cow. He couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
This brother-in-law may not look big, but he is very strong.
Entering the gate of the mansion, the guards at the door were waiting solemnly. They watched Military Advisor Zhou dragging Xia Mi County Magistrate into the mansion. They didn't know what happened and didn't dare to ask. They just watched secretly until Military Advisor Zhou entered the mansion.
They just looked at each other but did not dare to discuss it privately.
Although Zhou's military advisor usually appears to be very kind, he also has a dignified character. These guards know that Zhou's military advisor dislikes people who talk too much and does not like others to talk in private, especially when it involves the lord and the military advisor.
After entering the mansion, Zhou Xing let go of Sun Kang's hand, and the two walked inside one after the other.
"Commander Zhou, Magistrate Sun, you are here, my eldest brother and Mrs. Gan are in the house... Hehe, hehe..."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were standing outside Liu Bei's room. When they saw Zhou Xing and Sun Kang walking quickly, Zhang Fei hurriedly took two steps to greet them and said, but he kept laughing naively after saying this. The implication was that it was not appropriate for Liu Bei to see guests at this moment.
Zhou Xing raised his head and looked at the sky. He was not confused. It was just about noon. How could the Lord be intimate with Mrs. Gan at this time?
"Captain Guan, how long have you been waiting outside the room?"
Zhou Xingzhuan asked Guan Yu.
"Half an hour." Guan Yu replied calmly, "Commander Zhou has something to do with your elder brother?"
"Something happened. Please tell Lieutenant Guan to tell the Lord. Magistrate Sun and I are waiting in the meeting hall."
After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he and Sun Kang turned around and left.
"Commander Zhou, tell me what is going on first."
Zhang Fei shouted loudly from behind, but Zhou Xing didn't react as if he hadn't heard, and just walked straight ahead.
But Zhou Xing understands that Zhang Fei is sometimes a little quick-witted. If he shouts so loudly now, Liu Bei will definitely hear it in the room. Even if something happens, he will speed up and get it done.
After all, the Yuan family is now an enemy and troops are about to be sent out. It should not be a trivial matter for Zhou's military advisor to come looking for him.
Guan Yu glanced sideways at Zhang Fei, feeling vaguely unhappy in his heart.
It's not because Zhang Fei will disturb his eldest brother, but because of his third brother's attitude towards Military Advisor Zhou.
Zhang Fei always respected Military Advisor Zhou, even more than he respected his second brother, which made Guan Yu feel a little dissatisfied.
But Guan Yu also knew that Zhang Fei would not betray his eldest brother and himself. The only fault was that he talked too little and did not communicate much with his third brother, which made him appear to be closer to Zhou Xing than himself.
As soon as Zhou Xing and Sun Kang left, the door opened outside the room. Liu Bei was arranging his clothes, looking around and asked: "Is the military advisor here? Where is he?"
Zhang Fei quickly replied: "Brother, Military Advisor Zhou and County Magistrate Sun are here. They are waiting for me in the meeting hall."
"Let's go."
Liu Bei hurried out of the room and took Guan Yu and Zhang to the meeting hall.
In the meeting hall, Sun Kang looked a little uneasy. He didn't know what Liu Bei's reaction would be when he found out about this.
He, his brother-in-law Zhou Xing, and his sister Sun Yao and niece Zhou Min are all keeping secrets now. If Liu Bei suspects that they are colluding with Zang Ba, will he...
Probably not! Sun Kang shook his head secretly when he thought of this, Liu Bei is not that kind of person!
Besides, Liu Bei trusted Zhou Wensheng very much, and now Wensheng brought him to speak out about this matter, just to clear up doubts.
With Liu Bei's personality, he should not doubt Zhou Wensheng, but would trust him more.
Moreover, since Wen Sheng brought him to see Liu Bei, it meant that he already had an idea of how to deal with it, and the result should not be bad.
Sun Kang was thinking about it, but Zhou Xing was sitting silently. At this time, Liu Bei came in with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"The military advisor has been waiting for a long time and is about to send out troops. I don't know when he will return, so Mrs. Gan and I..."
After Liu Bei sat down, he explained to Zhou's military advisor.
Zhou Xing understands Liu Bei's thoughts. Relatively speaking, Mrs. Gan has always been his most beloved woman. Mrs. Gan's previous birth was a daughter. He wanted Mrs. Gan to give birth to a son for him. Therefore, his doting on Mrs. Gan was
A little more.
Now they are about to send troops to conquer the plains. If Yuan Shao sends troops to help, he doesn't know when the war will end, and he doesn't know when he will be able to see Mrs. Gan again, so even though it is noon, Liu Bei is hiding in his room to do private things.
Even when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to see him, they could only wait outside the room.
Zhou Xing is Liu Bei's military advisor and his most effective assistant at present. He doesn't want Zhou's military advisor to think that he is obsessed with his children's personal affairs and forgets his ambition, so he explained his behavior as soon as they met.
Zhou Xing nodded slightly to express understanding.
"The military advisor has something important to do?"
Liu Bei saw that Zhou Xing and Sun Kang had serious expressions on their faces, and the military advisor found himself outside his room. It seemed that he had something urgent to say.
Zhou Xing didn't say anything. He looked at Sun Kang and motioned for his wife and brother to speak in person.
Sun Kang hesitated, looked at Zhou Xing, then at Liu Bei, but didn't say a word for a long time.
"Brother, please tell the lord." Zhou Xing said.
"Oh, Magistrate Sun, there is something you can't say. My elder brother came here in a hurry, but you didn't say anything. Just say what it is!"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but urge.
"Yes, Magistrate Sun, please speak up if you have any questions." Liu Bei also comforted.
Sun Kang knew that the matter had reached this point and he had to tell it anyway. He handed over to Liu Bei and said: "General Liu, I just learned about something, so I went to tell Wen Sheng first. After hearing this, Wen Sheng immediately asked me
Come and see the general and tell him personally about this."
"It's just that this matter has not yet been decided. I originally thought of solving it myself before telling the general about it, but Wen Sheng is right. Knowing but not speaking up would be disloyal! Although I did not call the general my lord, in Sun Kang's heart,
I have already recognized the general as my wise master and want to assist him with all my strength."
Liu Bei listened quietly. Although Sun Kang never got to the point and he didn't push him, he knew from Sun Kang's words that this matter should be related to Zang Ba and Sun Guan of Langya.
"The general should know that when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu in Xiapi, Zang Xuangao did not help Lu Bu, nor did he help Cao Cao. He just sat back and watched. After Lu Bu was killed and destroyed, Cao Cao led his troops to leave Xuzhou, but when he left, he sent someone to persuade him
Zang Xuangao asked him to take advantage of the general's troops to the plains to attack Beihai. He also said that after capturing Beihai, the imperial court would appoint Zang Xuangao as the shepherd of Qingzhou."
"But don't worry, general. Zang Xuangao did not agree to Cao Cao's request. It's just... Since Cao Cao had this idea, the general had to be on guard. Therefore, after I told Wen Sheng about the matter, I came to see the general immediately."
