"Anyway, we'll talk about taking Jiangling down." Zhou Yu couldn't take care of that much anymore, "Even if the people have complaints, as long as they invite someone with good morals to govern Jiangling, be kind and love the people, and promise the people some benefits. Yes."

"That's the only way." Lu Meng nodded and went down to make arrangements immediately.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was standing at the city gate with a sword, looking at Liu Bei and the people coldly.

in the city gate.

Liu Bei had already met with the elders at the head, and at this time Liu Bei affectionately took the big hand of a very old old man, and said with tears in his eyes, "What kind of virtue and ability can you be, so that you can treat each other like this. "

"Uncle, don't say that. You are always benevolent and righteous, and you are very kind to ordinary people like me. What does it matter if we go out of the city to welcome Uncle?" The old man smiled and patted Liu Bei's shoulder, like He encouraged his juniors to say, "This Jiangling City can only be obtained by a benevolent person like the uncle."

"I will definitely support Uncle Huang with all my strength and ascend to the position of the prefect of Jiangling."

said the old man.

"This..." Liu Bei was moved.

The people are different from the family.

Although the people had neither soldiers nor food in their hands, they couldn't stand the crowd.

And the point is that the people are ignorant and easy to fool. As long as he treats the people kindly, he will never betray him.

Liu Bei thought about the last time he was betrayed by the Jiangling family and fled in embarrassment.

Naturally, he was full of disgust for the family in the city.

But as long as he has the support of the people, after he settles in Jiangling, he can settle accounts with those aristocratic families one by one, and let out a bad breath.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Guo Yong!"

Even now, Liu Bei is still gnashing his teeth in hatred for Guo Yong, the prefect of Jiangling.

However, when he thought that Zhou Yu was leading his troops outside the city, Liu Bei felt uncomfortable again.

I can't promise the people.

Otherwise, Zhou Yu will definitely turn his face, and it is hard to say whether he can take Jiangling, but there is no room for manoeuvre between Jiangdong and Jiangdong.

I weighed the pros and cons in my mind.

After a while, Liu Bei resisted the temptation, took a half step back, and bowed his hands to the people in front of him with heartache and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my fathers and villagers, but now I have a word in advance, not to compete with Jiangdong for Jiangling."

"So the good intentions of the villagers are well received, but please forgive me for not agreeing!".

Chapter 180

Do not agree?

All the people were a little disappointed when they heard Liu Bei's answer.

They have worked so hard to invite Liu Bei to settle in Jiangling, so that they can live a good life in the future.

But if Liu Bei refused, wouldn't they be busy working in vain?

"Uncle Huang, did Jiang Dong coerce you? If so, just say so, and I will definitely support Uncle Huang."

suddenly.

Some of the people shouted.

heard.

The expressions of the elders in the lead changed slightly, and they looked at Liu Bei with some reproach: "Uncle Huang, I didn't say you, Jiang Dong is so excessive, your name is Uncle Huang, how can you succumb to that scoundrel?"

"You must know that the uncle is the clan of the Han family, and Jiangdong is just a prince. Don't the uncle understand the principle of orderliness?"

Several old people grasped the etiquette and rules and said it in one pass.

Liu Bei could only helplessly shake his head.

I wish it were that simple.

"It's not as simple as the old husbands thought. I also have my difficulties here. Please don't persuade each other again." Liu Bei waved his hand and bowed again solemnly, "The great kindness of the villagers will be remembered in Heart, but now please everyone go back."

"Humph!"

Several old people paused on crutches, their faces full of displeasure.

The faces of the rest of the people were also not very good-looking.

"Uncle Huang, if you don't enter the city, we won't go back."

"That's right, I see if the Jiangdong army dares to kill me!"

Several people started booing again.

The people next to him immediately joined in, and for a while, the crowd was angry.

When Liu Bei saw it, he frowned with a headache.

Things look troublesome.

The people looked for the reason of death and did not listen to him at all, insisting on inviting him into the city.

"Uncle Huang, I'm waiting for the family to bring my mouth, so I can see the sincerity of the people in the city? Are you really going to chill the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of people in our Jiangling city?"

The headed old man spoke again, staring at Liu Bei dissatisfiedly, "What trouble do you have, it's better to tell it and listen. I don't believe it, your troubles are more important than so many of us!"

"I..." Liu Bei felt suffocated and almost vomited blood.

He wanted to say, how can such a thing be so comparable?

But when one thinks of the ignorance of the common people, only a few people have read books and can read, and most of the people probably don't understand it even if he explains it.

What the people think is nothing more than the word interests.

Whoever benefits them, they support whoever.

This point, Liu Bei is very clear.

But the point is, now he can't promise anything to the people.

"Okay, Uncle Huang, if you don't agree, then let's go. Anyway, this old bone won't live long, so let the old man die at the gate of this city, and let everyone in the world see, it's not that the old man is sorry for the emperor. Uncle, it's the uncle, I'm sorry for the old man."

When the old man saw that Liu Bei was silent, he was also a little angry. He simply stood on the spot with a cane and waited with his waist hunched.

"Uncle, let's go, we won't embarrass you."

"Yeah, we understand that you have difficulties. Just leave and ignore us."

"Anyway, we ordinary people are all pariahs. In the eyes of Uncle Huang, how important can it be?"

Among the people, a few self-deprecating voices came out.

Suddenly, the eyes of all the people changed.

Looking at Liu Bei's eyes with three points of grief and indignation.

Yes, Liu Huangshu was still unmoved in the face of the pleadings of so many of their people. Isn't that despising them?

If the aristocratic family in the city asked Uncle Liu to stay, the uncle would definitely agree?

With such a comparison, the people couldn't help but feel a little sad, and everyone's faces were ugly.

Liu Bei looked at it, and it was worth it.

If it goes on, people's hearts will be lost.

He hurriedly went over to support the old man and said, "Old man, don't say that, I have no intention of this in my heart. In my heart, the people are more important than the sky, and more important than their lives!"

Liu Bei looked solemn and said in a righteous manner.

Hearing this, the faces of the people improved instantly, and they looked at Liu Bei with joy and said, "We knew that Uncle Huang would treat me well."

"Uncle, did you promise to stay?"

Facing the expectation of the people, Liu Bei was silent for a moment, only nodding silently.

He really has no other way.

I can only explain it to Zhou Yu afterwards.

As an enemy of Zhou Yu, he only temporarily lost Jiangdong as an ally. As long as Sun Quan was there, the Sun-Liu alliance would be unbreakable.

If he is the enemy of the people, then he loses the name of benevolence and righteousness, which is even more unfavorable for him.

The lesser of the two powers!

"Okay, great."

"Then Uncle, come with us into the city?"

When the people saw Liu Bei nodded, they cheered and cheered.

There were loud shouts from the crowd: "Folks, Uncle Liu has agreed to settle in Jiangling, and our good days are here."

"Get out of the way, and welcome Uncle Huang into the city."

The sound is loud and travels far.

Liu Bei's expression changed, and he glanced blankly at the people.

These voices sound familiar.

It seems that from the beginning to the end, it is only these few people who are shouting among the people.

It's just that there were too many people in front of him, and Liu Bei couldn't find out a few of them for a while to ask them clearly.

He was about to take his eyes back, but saw that among the people, several people were sneakily withdrawing towards the rear, and his heart suddenly froze.

"broken."

"I've been tricked again. Those people must be the meticulous work sent by the Su thieves, who are trying to disturb the hearts of the people and force me to enter Jiangling City!"

Liu Bei finally reacted.

But at this time the general trend has been completed, everything is too late, and he can only watch a few people leave without help.

And the voices of those few people just now were so loud, Zhou Yu must have heard them.
