Chapter 204
Xu Huang nodded in agreement, "Our Tanghai County is developing well, how could we be fleeced by others?"
"Why don't we..."
As he said this, he raised his hand and scratched his neck, his eyes fierce.
"Absolutely not." Zhao Yun shook his head, "After all, the other party is also a court official."
"If the Zhonglangjiang gets to the bottom of it, this matter is too strange to cover up."
Xu Huang frowned, "What should we do then?"
"Drag it out!" Zhao Yun said, "Anyway, the county magistrate is not here."
"Let's drag that Liu Bei to death."
"We both met Liu Bei once in Jicheng before, so it's not easy to show up."
"Why not find a young and strong man to pretend to be the supreme commander who stayed behind."
"Then let that young and strong man..."
Zhao Yun lowered his voice and explained to Xu Huang, who nodded repeatedly.
"Zhao Zilong is the one who has the idea. Let's do it!"
...
Liu Bei's legs were numb as he squatted in the wilderness, as if a bunch of ants were crawling and biting on his legs.
However, he did not dare to move.
The Tanghai soldiers holding long spears around him were like iron men.
Under the scorching sun, they did not move at all, and the sharp spear heads were always raised in front of him, which made people terrified.
I don't know how long it took, but the strength in his heart was almost exhausted.
Finally, the city sent a message to let Liu Bei go in alone.
The other Luoyang cavalry were still guarding here.
This made the 100 Luoyang cavalry very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.
"Don't worry, everyone." Liu Bei staggered twice after standing up, but patted his chest and promised.
"That County Magistrate Liu is my friend. As long as we can meet him, he will definitely entertain us."
"Don't worry, wait here."
As he said, he limped towards the city.
…
In the lobby of Tanghaiguan Temple, the young man Zhao Yun had told was sitting in the reception hall waiting.
This young man was Tiedan who was learning to read and write from Yangyi.
As the elder of Tiezhuang, he had been influenced by Liu Yu for a long time and was very smart.
Liu Bei entered the lobby, but did not see Liu Yu.
He was greeted by a young man he had never seen before.
This made him frown.
Liu Yu, that fellow, looked down on people and actually sent such a kid to fool him!
Very rude!
"Our Tanghai County Magistrate, under the order of the Governor of Youzhou, led troops to Qingzhou to provide assistance." Tiedan said with a serious face.
He knelt in the main seat without even moving.
He looked down from above and his voice was cold.
"I am the highest-ranking commander in Tanghai County."
"What do you want to do? Tell me now."
"To help Qingzhou?" Liu Bei frowned, but secretly he was happy.
That person is not here, so it's just right.
It's easy to scare a young man.
"Ahem!"
He coughed, and took out his official authority again, holding his head high and saying solemnly: "I am here to collect weapons on behalf of the General of the Central Army, Lu Zhi."
"Immediately collect 30,000 fine weapons forged in Tanghai for me."
"No mistakes."
"Otherwise, if you delay the battle to suppress the rebellion in Jizhou, you will be unforgivable!"
The majestic voice spread in the hall of the official temple.
It spread to the back hall, and Zhao Yun and Xu Huang heard it clearly behind the screen.
Xu Huang curled his lips, thinking that the big-eared thief was quite clear in his official tone.
If he was not afraid of causing trouble for the county magistrate.
He was afraid that he would rush out on the spot and beat up the arrogant man.
Dare to come to Tanghai County to beg for money, you are really tired of living!
"Okay." Tiedan, who was sitting upright, nodded with a normal expression.
It was so smooth that Liu Bei's prepared words were useless on the spot.
He couldn't imagine how it could be so simple?
After a short moment of daze, he was overjoyed.
However, he was also shocked. How good is Tanghai County in forging? 30,000 weapons can be produced without even blinking an eye?
How many weapons do you have to forge in a day to accumulate such a number?
Thinking of this, he was terrified.
But suddenly he found that the kneeling young man stretched out his hand to him and said expressionlessly: "Bring the court documents."
Liu Bei was stunned, "Just sent to the Tanghai soldiers into the city?"
"I didn't receive it." Tiedan shook his head.
"How can I do things for you without a clerk?"
"Hurry up and find the clerk, so that I can allocate weapons for you."
"Otherwise, if you delay the war in Jizhou, can you bear the blame?"
"Uh..." Liu Bei felt like he had something stuck in his throat.
He had never experienced being blocked by the other party with his own words.
But where could he find the clerk?
"Report if you have something to do, and retreat if you don't have anything to do.""Get out!" Tiedan scolded.
"This is a strategic place, and there are still political affairs to be handled."
"Don't waste time here."
Liu Bei wanted to say a few more words, but two rows of soldiers rushed in from the lobby door, holding black and red wooden sticks, and shouted in a low voice: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! !"
It looked as if if he stayed here any longer, he would rush up and give him a beating.
He had no choice but to leave the lobby of the official temple.
"You're playing this trick on me! "Liu Bei stood outside the official temple, stamping his feet in anger.
Without saying a word, he rushed out of the city.
Find the previous squadron leader and ask him to tell where the document was sent.
The guard had already received Zhao Yun's message and told him where the document was sent.
Liu Bei hurried back to the city.
It was already sunset in the evening.
Liu Bei was so tired that he leaned on his knees and panted, but he saw that the department the squadron leader mentioned had already closed the door.
Dong Dong Dong!
Liu Bei knocked hard, but no one came out to answer.
Before he shouted, he saw a team of patrolling soldiers running on the street.
He grabbed Liu Bei and interrogated him.
"We implement military management in Tanghai County."
"Outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight in the city."
"Come to the city tomorrow to do business. "
Although a patrolling team of soldiers spoke politely, they did not give Liu Bei any time to react.
He rushed directly to the four soldiers, grabbed them with his hands and feet, and lifted them up like a crab with its shell turned over, with its belly facing the sky.
"Hey hey hey! Let me down!" Liu Bei exclaimed, but no soldier responded.
The soldiers trotted all the way to the suspension bridge, and four people threw Liu Bei out with a joint effort.
Then, the suspension bridge was pulled up with a rumble.
Liu Bei fell to the ground with a snap, and was dazed.
He finally stood up and shook off the dust on his body.
I found that the Luoyang cavalry surrounded him.
After talking to each other, I learned that the Tanghai soldiers not only took all their horses and weapons into the city.
They didn't even leave them half a ration.
Such treatment made Liu Bei extremely angry.
"Wait until tomorrow! "
In order to get those 30,000 weapons, he risked everything.
He had to do it.
He couldn't imagine how happy his teacher Lu Zhi would be when he returned to the outside of Guangzong City in Jizhou with 30,000 Tanghai-forged weapons.
By then, he would surely rise to prominence and have a smooth career!
