"That's good, but you must be careful with Jiang Bei. He is full of tricks and has countless advisers. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Fazheng, Xu Shu and others are all resourceful people."
"Oh, it's a pity that I, Liu Bei, don't have a good counselor yet. If I did, I, Liu Bei, wouldn't have to work so hard."
Liu Bei sighed and drooled with envy at Jiang Siming's number of counselors and generals.
Mi Zhu comforted him and said, "My lord, don't worry. I got news a while ago that Dong Zhuo's old minister Li Ru appeared in Xuzhou recently. I have sent people to look for him. If he is found, this person can be of great use to my lord."
Liu Bei showed a surprised smile and said: "That's great. We must find Li Ru as soon as possible. Remember, when you find him, you must treat him like a distinguished guest and don't be reckless."
Mi Zhu was slightly worried and said, "I'm just afraid that if my lord uses Li Ru, he will cause criticism in the world. After all, Li Ru made many unscrupulous strategies under Dong Zhuo."
Liu Bei sneered and said: "Extraordinary times use extraordinary people. In the past, each had his own master. Li Ru couldn't help it. It is Dong Zhuo that everyone hates, not Li Ru. Don't worry and make arrangements."
"I understand." Mi Zhu agreed.
In addition to counselors, the current general Liu Bei is also unmatched.
In the past, he had locked up two peerless warriors, but now he saw that there were only people like Sun Qian next to him.
The only ones who could use it were Yuan Shu's old general Ji Ling, who happened to be conquered, and Li Lu, who was known as the strongest man in Xuzhou.
But Liu Bei could also see that the strength of these two people was quite different from that of Guan and Zhang Shang, not to mention that Jiang Siming also had Zhao Yun, the best general in the world!
Not long after, dust suddenly rose on the horizon outside the city, and an endless row of black shadows appeared in their sight.
"The whole army is on alert!" Liu Bei said hurriedly.
Immediately after Jiang Siming's army arrived outside the city gate, a soldier with a loud voice came out to call for formation.
"Liu Bei, my lord, the Prime Minister, has been ordered by the emperor to punish thieves. If you are interested, open the city gate and stand on the thorn bush to plead guilty. My lord is willing to go to the emperor and spare your life. If not, after the city is destroyed, it will be you."
When you die!"
Liu Bei laughed at him when he heard this on the city tower. It took him half a lifetime of military service to achieve his current achievements and strength. Asking him to hand over Xuzhou would be more painful than killing him.
Liu Bei shouted towards Jiang Siming's army at the bottom of the city: "Jiang Bei! You hold the emperor hostage to order the princes of the world. I have the emperor's blood edict in your hand. Do you still want to do it in the name of the emperor? Dream! Jiang Bei, you
Although he is the Prime Minister of Jiang, he is actually a thief of Jiang! A thief who steals the country!"
After saying this, Liu Bei felt so happy and satisfied. He was so happy to scold him!
Jiang Siming peeled an orange and looked at Liu Bei who was shouting on the tower. Suddenly he felt that he was a little cute. Do you want to curse him? Come on.
After saying a few words to the soldiers in the calling formation, the soldiers immediately came out and shouted back: "Everyone knows that you, Liu Xuande, used to be a member of the royal family. Later, the prime minister and the emperor found out that you were just a shoe weaver."
It is extremely ridiculous for people like me to lie about being a royal family member and grandson of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty."
As soon as he took off his shorts and told the embarrassing things in the past, Liu Bei couldn't help but couldn't bear it, but he wasn't over yet.
"When you were serving in the army under the Prime Minister's account, your two brothers discovered that you had a peculiar habit of wearing women's clothes, and they were ashamed to be with you. In a rage, you cut off your robes and broke up with your brothers. My lord, the Prime Minister, wants to ask you, are you still here?
Do you like to wear women's clothes? The Prime Minister asked me to buy you a set of high-quality women's clothes and give them to you to wear, so that the Xuzhou soldiers can take a good look at what men look like wearing women's clothes, hahahaha."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Siming's soldiers all laughed so hard that the Xuzhou soldiers on the tower were stunned for a moment. It couldn't be true, could it?
Even Mi Zhu began to look at Liu Bei with strange eyes.
Liu Bei was so ashamed and angry. Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew about wearing women's clothing. How did Jiang Siming know about it?
If he knew it, he must have shut down Zhang's secret.
"Guan Yunchang! Zhang Yide! You two and I are irreconcilable!"
Liu Bei was so angry that he yelled, "No one can stand being exposed like this."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the leaders of the three armies, felt puzzled. Why did Liu Bei think they were the informants?
It must be that his passion for wearing women's clothing was discovered by other soldiers, and now he comes to blame them? Haha.
At this time, Jiang Siming's carriage arrived in front of the formation.
Jiang Siming stood on the carriage, still holding an orange in his hand, and while peeling it, he slowly walked up to the tower and said:
"Big-eared thief, I'm here not only to obey the emperor's order, but also to save the life of my brother Mengde's father. Kill for life. Don't you understand this principle?"
Big-eared thief?
This is the first time everyone has heard of Liu Bei's nickname. If you look closely, you will find that Liu Bei's ears are really big. No wonder he is called the big-eared thief, hahaha.
"Hmph! That's ridiculous! Jiang thief, don't use these ridiculous excuses. If you want to fight, fight. I, Liu Bei, am afraid that you won't succeed!"
For the first time, Liu Bei felt that he had become tougher. It was different now that he had troops.
Jiang Siming smiled. Sure enough, Liu Bei always acted like a turtle when he didn't have the strength, but when he had the strength, he started to drift.
Historically, too, when one had no money or power, one would beg one's grandfather and accuse one's grandma in various ways, use the banner of benevolence and righteousness to cheat, and even kneel down and cry bitterly in order to seek a counselor.
But after gaining strength, establishing the Kingdom of Shu, and becoming the emperor, he began to be very arrogant. Even Zhuge Liang, a humble minister, didn't believe him and said, "Can't I stand on my own without you?"
This kind of person has a typical villain mentality, and even if you care about him, you will feel inferior.
The best way is to give him pain and injuries to let him know what the difference in strength is.
Jiang Siming waved and the carriage returned to the central army. Zhao Yun immediately came out to call for formation.
But Liu Bei would not be fooled. He did not follow Jiang Siming for a military solo. He allowed Zhao Yun to call for formation downstairs and did not open the door.
"Lord, Liu Bei seems to be determined to defend the city. Pengcheng's city is very high, the walls are thick and the ground is strong, so it will be quite difficult to attack the city." Guo Jiadao.
"Nonsense, I had already ordered the siege if it wasn't difficult. I came back to ask you guys if there is anything you can do?" Jiang Si understood him.
Guo Jia smiled sheepishly, and then started discussing with Xun Yu and the others.
It is said that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. If these three smart people are not much different from Zhuge Liang, the reaction of this cooperation is definitely extraordinary.
Originally, even Guo Jia had to think about the plan for a long time. After discussions among several counselors whose wisdom was on the same line, a plan was released in less than half an hour.
Jiang Siming is happy. It is good to have many counselors. When everyone adds firewood, the flames will be high.
It is common to ordinary people, and it is even more powerful when wise people cooperate.
A country that can become great cannot be built by just one wise man. It must be created by the crystallization of wisdom of countless wise men.
