Chapter 517 No one can force him

Zhao Yun is young and innocent, just a fledgling, just a pure lamb, totally ignorant of intrigue and detours in the political field, and all kinds of abilities to talk nonsense to others.

He didn't know that Liu Bei, the big bad wolf with a kind face and dark heart, had already eaten him, so he was very moved and excited.

After that, he deliberately searched for white horses, and applied for white horses from the army as a general, to show his status as a virtuous minister of Liu Beiyingmeng.

Liu Bei saw through Zhao Yun's youthful and innocent nature, and knew that what a fledgling young man needs most is spiritual recognition and encouragement, so he added more emotional wooing to him, which had the effect of four or two thousand catties, easily prying Zhao Yun's loyalty Spend.

Every time Zhao Yun came to report on his work, Liu Bei would encourage him, and would spare some time to talk with him alone, which made Zhao Yun think that Liu Bei attached great importance to him, so he worked harder and harder.

"The Yuan family has already rebelled against the imperial court. Soon after, the army will prepare for battle. Although you are my subordinate, you cannot be promoted to a high position because you have no merit. So this time, I hope you can seize the opportunity. Express yourself and make your mark.”

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "In the next battle, you have to use what you have learned, plus your own bravery, I believe you will be able to make great achievements, and by then, you will definitely become my hero." The young general in the dream!"

"What Junhou expects, Yun will achieve it even if he puts his life on the line!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands with determination on his face.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, when someone came to ask Xun Shuang to see him, Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and then nodded.

"Let him in."

After speaking, Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun again.

"Someone has come to visit me, so I won't keep you. It's almost noon. Take the two sheep back, share them with your subordinates and eat them. As an officer, you must not be stingy with rewards. They are yours every day. Subordinates, on the battlefield, they are your life-saving talismans, remember?"

"Your Majesty teaches, Yun dare not forget!"

"it is good."

Liu Bei smiled and watched Zhao Yun leave.

When Zhao Yun left, Xun Shuang entered the General's Mansion under the leadership of the guards. The two passed by. Zhao Yun glanced at the gray-haired old man curiously.

He suddenly thought that Liu Bei was only less than ten years older than him, but he was already one of the most powerful people in the empire, and the people who communicated were all such senior officials, so he couldn't help feeling deeply moved by Liu Bei's miraculous performance.

Therefore, he strengthened his belief that he must continue to follow Liu Bei.

Sending Zhao Yun away, Liu Bei put away his smiling and warm attitude, and faced Xun Shuang with a business-like attitude.

"Mr. Xun is here, what's the matter?"

Liu Bei's business-like attitude made Xun Shuang very unhappy and worried, feeling that the situation was not quite right.

Every time he had a conversation with Liu Bei before, Liu Bei always expressed intimacy, but after returning to Luoyang this time, this intimacy disappeared.

Liu Bei is sure about his grudges.

Xun Shuang took a deep breath, and decided to get straight to the point, without going around in circles.

"General, I have a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. She is regarded as the jewel in the palm of her hand, and she is especially loved. Now that my daughter has reached the age of many people, I can see the people in Luoyang. Only the general is heroic. Everyone in the world praises me, I would like to give my daughter to the general, but I don't know what the general wants?"

Liu Bei didn't expect Xun Shuang to be able to pull his face down and say such straightforward and shameless words.

Such direct words should not be something he can say.

It seems that I did not promote Xun Shuang, and at the same time recruited members of the Chen and Zhong clans who are also Yingchuan clans, as a way to win over. This series of actions stimulated the Xun clan quite a bit.

It should be said that Liu Bei himself did not expect that the Yingchuan scholars seemed to have a good opinion of him. It was obvious that the Yuan family was raising troops to make trouble, but Chen and Zhong, one of the representatives of the Yingchuan scholar clan, agreed without hesitation. own call.

Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, is an excellent son of the Chen and Zhong clans, and Chen Qun is the eldest son of the Chen clan and the next generation's talker. He joined Liu Bei's General's Mansion, which is basically equivalent to Chen's Put into effect.

It seems that the Kanto gentry have gradually recovered from the initial ignorance, realized Liu Bei's inevitable large-scale march on the Kanto, and realized the significance of the early investment.

In this way, Liu Bei has more choices.

The Xun family has already lost this important window period.

Maybe after Chen and Zhong knew the inside story of this matter, they would definitely make fun of Xun Shuang.

If the investment is not thorough, it means not to invest at all. After working for a long time, we were caught from behind. Old Xuntou, do you regret it?

Liu Bei can now be sure that Xun Shuang is really regretting it, otherwise he would not have pulled down his face and said that Liu Bei has made this move that is almost an admission of error to him.

However, at this moment and at that moment, if the Xun family did not make a decision before his final battle, then this opportunity has been lost.

Xunshi previously believed that Liu Bei was not the only irreplaceable choice, so now Liu Bei has reason to believe that Xunshi is not the only irreplaceable choice.

He recognized Xun Yu and Xun You, but only limited to Xun Yu and Xun You. Liu Bei had no sense of identity with the Xun family.

The window period is over, and it is over.

So Liu Bei looked surprised and looked at Xun Shuang in surprise.

"Why did Mr. Xun say that? Bei already has a wife. Everyone in the world knows this!"

Seeing the surprise on Liu Bei's face, Xun Shuang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"The general was joking. Of course, the old man knew that the general had a wife, and he didn't think so. What the old man meant was that the youngest girl was betrothed to the general as a concubine."

"Concubine room?"

Liu Bei was even more surprised, and hurriedly said: "This matter must never be done! The Xun family in Yingchuan is a famous family in the world. How can such a famous family allow the daughter of a famous family to be my concubine? The Xun family doesn't care about the eyes of the world. You must care about the eyes of the world for the Xun family!"

"The general's words are wrong!"

Xun Shuang made a hearty look, and said with a smile: "The general is a hero in the world, a pillar of the country respected by everyone in the world. In terms of status and status, it is my honor to be betrothed to the general as a concubine. No need to worry about other things."

"How can it work? Is it the daughter of a famous family, or the daughter of Duke Xun's love!"

Liu Bei shook his head again and again: "How can Gong Xun's beloved daughter be Bei's concubine? This is too absurd, Bei has never thought about it, and please don't continue to say that, otherwise Bei will feel uneasy, how can he continue to deal with it?" What about state affairs?"

Xun Shuang couldn't hold back anymore, and after a moment of silence, Xun Shuang sighed.

"The general didn't know something. A few months ago, before the general arrived in Luoyang, the old man had already discussed the matter with the little girl, and the little girl agreed to follow the general, but I didn't expect that the little girl fell ill after that, and she has been recuperating since then. Just now fully recovered.

When the little girl was sick, the old man was very anxious and didn't know how to deal with the matter. He searched for famous doctors everywhere, and finally cured the little girl. As soon as he was cured, he talked about this matter.

The little girl has heard of the general's reputation for a long time, and she admires the general very much in her heart. She has always thought of being able to serve the general, and hopes that the general will not dislike the posture of the little girl's Pu Liu. This is the greatest honor for the little girl. "

After Xun Shuang finished speaking, Liu Bei really admired him a little.

Changing places, Liu Bei is in Xun Shuang's position, so he must be embarrassed to say this. He is not so shameless, but Xun Shuang is so shameless to say this, it is really extraordinary.

Just, so what?

The situation has changed, the offensive and defensive positions have changed, I gave you a chance and you can't grasp it, you have wasted the window period of several months, and now more people are gathering around smelling the smell of blood, you are no longer the only one up.

If I accept you now and give you the last place, what will others think of me?
I have to let them know what will happen if they don't follow my wishes and half-heartedly.

So Liu Bei showed the confident smile that Xun Shuang hated most.

"Grand Xun, Bei is really not worthy of your beloved daughter becoming Bei's concubine, and the remnants of the Yuan family are still committing crimes. People all over the world are eagerly hoping that Master Wang will put them down. How can Bei be indulging in the affair of his children at this time?" ? Thank you very much for your attention, I am very happy, but..."

The more Liu Bei spoke, the more Xun Shuang's heart sank.

"General, although the Yuan family's rebels are powerful, they are nothing more than local chickens and dogs. We all believe that the general will be able to put down the Yuan family's rebels. At this moment, the general will not accommodate concubines, which can show that the general has a well-thought-out plan and is also a kind to the outside world. kind of expression, isn't it?"

Xun Shuang still wants to redeem, and wants to make the last effort.

Liu Bei still shook his head with a smile.

"Grand Xun, during this period of time, Bei has been relatively busy. Right now, the Yuan family's rebels are causing unrest in the world. Many people have opinions on the imperial court. Bei needs to concentrate on military affairs and not be distracted by his children's personal affairs. Right now, even Even the family members in Liangzhou have not yet received Luoyang, let alone the matter of taking concubines, please understand that the state affairs are more important than family affairs."

Xun Shuang finally understood what Liu Bei meant.

It seems that Liu Bei will not agree to him.

Liu Bei rejected him completely and would not accept his marriage request.

Xun Shuang was worried, angry, ashamed, all kinds of emotions filled his chest, almost blowing him up.

So he stood up and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Since that's the case, the old man won't bother the general's worries about the world!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Look, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Liu Bei just felt like drinking a glass of iced Coke in summer, his heart was soaring, his heart was cool, and the coolness was boundless.

Now his size is completely different from before, and he is the one who takes the initiative.

So, no one can force him anymore.
