After Liu Bei arrived in Xinye, he realized why Liu Biao was so generous before.

Before, Liu Biao said that Xinye's treasury was allowed to be used by Liu Bei. Liu Bei felt that the treasury in a county should be full, and he was secretly happy. But when he arrived in Xinye, he realized that the treasury was similar to that of none.

Xinye is located at the transfer of three forces, and its geographical location is important, but it also means that this place will be captured at any time. Therefore, in the early years, the prefect of Nanyang emptied most of Xinye's treasury, leaving only the amount needed for daily life. As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Xinye, he opened Xinye's treasury with enthusiasm. When he saw what was really happening inside, Liu Bei wanted to cry.

Liu Bei brought his troops here, and the daily expenses were very high. Just a little treasury in Xinye, let alone guarding Xinye, it would be great to ensure that Liu Bei's soldiers did not starve to death. In desperation, Liu Bei could only apply for food and grass assistance from Liu Biao. This time, Liu Biao did not cheat Liu Bei, and agreed directly, and said that in the future, Xinye's food and grass will be supplied from Xiangyang, and grain and grass will be allocated from Xiangyang to Xinye every month. However, the amount of food and grass is only enough for two thousand people to eat for one month, and it will not take long. Liu Bei saw that there was only a little food and grass, and it was not enough. He also thought that he would recruit soldiers in Xinye. Insufficient food and grass, he could not recruit enough soldiers.

Liu Bei once again compiled a book to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao suddenly fell ill. Cai Mao was responsible for the matter. Cai Mao had long disliked Liu Bei. Before, Liu Biao insisted that Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, and Cai Mao didn't want to see Liu Bei. Now, Liu Bei actually asked for more food and grass. Cai Mao cursed on the spot, and the beggars were picky. You, Liu Bei, only have a little military force, why do you want so much food and grass? You want to rebel? Cai Mao rejected Liu Bei's request without thinking.

After receiving Cai Mao’s reply, Liu Bei felt cold. Liu Bei scolded Liu Biao for not being ill at the time, but he fell down here. It would not be too late to wait until I, Liu Bei, complete the plan.

Liu Bei's perfect plan failed, and now he could only sigh to the sky and sigh that he was not lucky.

Xinye has a small population and a small city. No matter how you look at it, it is a small place that cannot play any role. Liu Bei now only hopes that Cao Cao and Liu Yu will fight to the death in the Central Plains, and don’t go south for the time being. Otherwise, thanks to his current military strength, he can block Cao Cao and Liu Yu’s attacks.

Liu Bei felt that the most important thing for him now is to keep a low profile and not let Cao Cao and Liu Yu pay attention to him.

Liu Bei wanted to keep a low profile, but Sima Hui came to the door.

Sima Hui is a well-known figure in Jingzhou and Nanyang. Liu Bei was flattered by Sima Hui's visit.

Liu Bei rushed out of the room on the spot and rushed to the door. He saw an elegant old man and smiled and said, "Is this Mr. Shui Jing, who is famous all over the world? After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande met Mr. Liu. The gentleman is handsome and has extraordinary appearance. It is better to meet him than to be famous."

Sima Hui looked like a person with long arms above his knees and ears were hung on his shoulders. Such a strange appearance must be Liu Bei.

Facing Liu Bei's enthusiasm, Sima Hui had already realized it, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Envoy Liu is polite. I am just a little famous person, so why should I mention it?"

"Sir, come here, I am honored. Please come in! Let's talk in the room." Liu Bei said with a smile on his face.

The two walked in hand in hand. Zhang Fei and others heard about Sima Hui's arrival and rushed over after hearing the news. They had heard about Sima Hui's name before, but they had never seen a real person. Now, when they saw the real person, they were all infected by his demeanor and temperament. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they were really a master.

Zhang Fei found that Sima Hui looked very much like a person, but he couldn't remember who he looked like for a while.

Liu Bei grandly introduced his brothers and subordinates to Sima Hui, and showed his strength to Sima Hui.

Sima Hui bowed to Zhang Fei and others one by one, and Zhang Fei and others hurriedly replied, "This is a great scholar, and it is not okay not to return the gift."

"It's really gratifying to congratulate you, the envoy Liu is full of talents." Sima Hui said with a smile.

Liu Bei is very proud that he was able to survive until now, but it was due to these brothers and subordinates.

Liu Bei invited Sima Hui into the hall, Zhang Fei and others accompanied him, and several personal soldiers brought them tea.

"Xinye County, there is no good tea, please don't be surprised." Liu Bei said ashamed. Liu Bei knew that these great scholars were the most enjoyable figures in the world. There was no good hospitality here. It would be better to explain in advance than to be disliked by others.

"It's okay." Sima Hui didn't care. He drank the tea prepared by Liu Bei very enjoyable.

After Sima Hui finished drinking it, he thought that the tea was really bad, but he was well-educated and did not show it. He said, "After I came to Jingzhou, do you have any plans?"

Liu Bei didn't know what Sima Hui meant, so he answered according to the normal routine: "It's already great that he was invited by Brother Jingsheng to stay in Xinye. Now he wants to defend Xinye City for Brother Jingsheng."

"I really admire the great kindness and righteousness of the envoy Liu." Sima Hui smiled and then said straight in, "But now, relying solely on the envoy's current forces may not be able to withstand the attacks of other forces."

A trace of worry flashed across Liu Bei's face, but he quickly recovered and then smiled and said, "Sir, joking."

Sima Hui keenly observed this hint of worry and continued: "Even if neither Shenwu nor Jian'an sent troops, there are people in Jingzhou who are not good for the envoys."

"No way." Liu Bei finally lost his lust. He knew who Sima Hui was talking about.

"Maybe that person will not make things difficult for the Lord to openly make things difficult for the Lord, but it is okay to use methods secretly. As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent them. Can the Lord guarantee that he will not be plotted by others?" Sima Hui said with a smile.

Zhang Fei and others felt nervous. If someone in Jingzhou had plotted against Liu Bei, Liu Bei would really have no way to avoid it.

"Sir, please teach me!" Liu Bei respectfully gave Sima Hui a big gift.

Sima Hui received this gift and said, "There are many powerful generals and heroes under the command of the envoy. The envoy is a hero who is the current generation, competing for the Central Plains. But I see that the envoy has not lost to Shenwu and Cao Mengde along the way. There is only one thing that the envoy has never obtained."

"I dare to ask what Liu Bei is missing now." Liu Bei hopes that this wise man will guide him.

Sima Hui wore Liu Bei's appetite and finally said: "What I lack now is a military advisor! A military advisor who can govern the country and pacify the world!"

"Military advisor?" Liu Bei muttered, and the fog in his heart was broken by Sima Hui. Liu Bei thought that since he started the army from the Yellow Turbans, there was really no decent military advisor to give advice for him. Liu Yu, Cao Cao and other princes all had their own top military advisors, which is the fundamental reason why he has been failing.

Sima Hui said this now, would he be here to serve him? Liu Bei was excited. Sima Hui was a famous wise man. If he came to be a military advisor, everything would be easier.

"Sir, Liu Bei asks you to join our army and become our army's military advisor." Liu Bei said excitedly.

Sima Hui waved his hand and said, "I am used to being idle in the clouds and wild cranes, and I don't like this worldly dispute."

Liu Bei was disappointed and said dejectedly: "It's Liu Bei who has no blessing. The sir is not looking down on him anymore."

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. I'm here to recommend two great talents to you. Have you ever heard of the lie-in-law that you can have the best time to be at peace with the world?" Sima Hui said with a smile.

"Lying dragon, phoenix chicks can be assured as the world!" Liu Bei almost jumped up. There are such powerful talents in this world.

"Wolong is Zhuge Liang's name is Kongming, and Feng Chu is Pang Tong's name is Shiyuan. Both of them are rare talents in the world. Feng Chu travels around the world without knowing where he is. Wolong likes quietness and is now studying in Wolonggang, Longzhong. Such a great talent, would you be willing to miss it?" Sima Hui said.

Liu Bei was excited. Isn’t Longzhong not far from Xinye? Is it time for Liu Bei to rise?

"Empress, I will say all this. Whether to accept it or not is up to you. Let's say goodbye." Sima Hui said everything he should have said, and he was unwilling to stay here for a long time.

"Sir, you are leaving now, and Liu Bei has not yet welcomed you to the teacher." Liu Bei didn't want Sima Hui to leave now. He still had many things to ask Sima Hui for advice.

"People in the mountains and fields do not want to mess with the world. Today is also the guide to fate, so please do not force them." Sima Hui said inexplicably.

Since Sima Hui was unwilling to stay for too long, Liu Bei could not force others to do anything, and said, "Since that's the case, Liu Bei will send his husband out now."

The two walked out the door together again.

"Goodbye." Sima Hui rode on the horse and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Sir, go slowly, come here often when you have time!" Liu Bei's eyes were filled with tears and he kept waving.

Sima Hui suddenly got goosebumps. This guy would not be the same as Pang Degong.

The more Sima Hui looked at Liu Bei, the more he felt that this was the case. He had to leave here immediately.

Sima Hui left quickly, Zhang Fei looked at her back and said in confusion: "Why did Mr. Shui Jing walk so fast, it looks a little embarrassed. And his back is so familiar, it seems that he has seen it somewhere."

"Yide, what are you talking about?" Liu Bei asked.

"Nothing. The gentleman just left a little embarrassedly, and I was really curious. We didn't do anything to him." Zhang Fei touched his head and smiled foolishly.

Liu Bei was speechless for a while. This guy was so worry-free.

Liu Bei thought about what Sima Hui said just now, and it seemed that he really needed a military advisor now.
