"Second brother, third brother, go!"

When the three came outside the mansion, they saw Guo Yong and Guo Zhu waiting outside the door, while Jian Yong and Mi Zhu were counting the gifts that Guo Yong brought.

The more they counted, the more surprised they were.

Much, too much.

Money is second, and the key is salt and iron.

Guo Yong directly gave Liu Bei a salt warehouse of the Guo family in Jiangling.

There is a lot of salt in it.

You know, this is refined salt, not coarse salt.

Just this one salt warehouse is worth a fortune, and it is still priceless.

"Why did Shou Feng come so early today, and he didn't let anyone know, you see, I didn't have any preparations." Liu Bei strode over, looked at Guo Yong and smiled.

"Xuande is polite, I'm here to visit you, how can I let you greet me like yesterday?" Guo Yong smiled, then pointed to a few large carts of gifts, and said with a light smile: "Be careful, it won't work. Respect, Xuande must accept it."

"Let Shou Feng spend the money, come, come in with me." Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard Guo Yong calling him directly, without calling again.

This shows that Guo Yong has completely recognized him in his heart.

After entering the manor, it was inevitable to push the cup and ask for it.

After the banquet, seeing that the atmosphere was lively and getting along well, Liu Bei also ordered to invite dancers to dance and sing to add to the fun.

It was not until the afternoon that Guo Yong left with Guo Zhu, and said that he would have to communicate more and more in the past few days.

Liu Bei naturally agreed.

After sending Guo Yong away.

Jian Yong walked up, gave a respectful salute, and said, "My lord, the gifts have been counted."

Liu Bei asked, "How much?"

"There is a salt warehouse with several thousand catties of refined salt."

"The money is five thousand gold, and the silk and satin are three thousand."

"Fifty good horses."

"There is also a signed post from the Jiangling family."

"what!"

After Liu Bei drank the wine, his already rosy face instantly became congested and flushed.

"Bring it to me."

He stretched out his hand excitedly, and Jian Yong hurriedly handed the number of tablets to Liu Bei.

"hiss……"

"The Guo family is indeed a Jiangling noble family."

The more Liu Bei looked, the more happy he became.

Refined salt can be sold in other cities to accumulate funds, forge weapons, and recruit soldiers.

As for the food given to the soldiers under your command?

That is of course impossible.

Refined salt is too expensive, even he is reluctant to use it in large quantities.

Five thousand gold is not much, but it is not bad.

[-] pieces of cloth, I can make a few more clothes for my wife, and sell the rest.

The good horse remains.

As for this signed post...

Liu Bei opened it and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened.

This turned out to be the fact that the major families in Jiangling recognized his right to withdraw Jiangling.

And once he has the support of the aristocratic family, he can let go of his hands and feet, do business in the city, pay grain, recruit troops...

It's only a matter of time before it grows.

"Okay, okay!"

Liu Bei nodded excitedly.

He accepted the signature post, and then instructed Jian Yong to keep a little of everything, and sell the rest at the market price.

Jian Yong took the order and stepped back.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu beside him and said, "Yede went to rest?"

"Well, I sent it myself just now." Guan Yu nodded, and then smiled, "Yide often makes mistakes, but I didn't expect to make such a great contribution this time. Big brother can't treat Yide badly."

"When have I treated my brother badly?" Liu Bei said with a smile: "I know he likes drinking, so you can go to the treasury to get ten altars of Erguotou and send them to Yide, and allow him to drink for three days."

"Yede wakes up, if he knows this news, he will be happy." Guan Yu smiled slightly, thinking of something, he suddenly said, "By the way, brother, Yede's drinking mistake, the city defense, but these days, it can't be done any more. Let Yide go, why don't I go, switch defenses with Zhao... and Zilong."

Liu Bei shook his head: "No, let Zilong work harder these few days, I have other important things for you to do."

"What's the matter?"

"You drive the fast boat to Jiangdong, and tell the military advisor what happened recently. By the way, ask the military advisor what we should do next."

"It's not too late, big brother, I'll go here." Guan Yu got up, called Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, turned around and left the house.

Liu Bei covered the signature post in his arms with a smile on his face.

When he saw that the dancers had stopped, he waved his hand immediately: "What to do when you stop, then play music, then dance."

The next three days.

Guo Yongri came to visit Liu Bei a few days ago, and the guests were very happy for a while, but the smile on Liu Bei's face never stopped.

In addition, other gentry patriarchs in Jiangling also came to visit in person, which made Liu Bei busy.

As soon as the reception was over here, the door came over there.

But Liu Bei was in it, painful and happy.

It was not until the evening of the third day that Liu Bei returned to the mansion a little tired, and Mrs. Gan gently kneaded Liu Bei's shoulders.

"Ma'am, now all the major families in Jiangling are in my hands, as long as you give me half a month, I don't need Cao Cao to fetch this city of Jiangling, I will give it to him."

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"My husband is indeed a hero. Sooner or later, he will be able to cut down Cao's thieves and help the Han family." Madam Gan said coquettishly with a smile.

She knew what Liu Bei wanted to hear, so she naturally chose what to say.

"Well said, haha... the Han family is very happy."

Liu Bei was drunk.

After a while.

"I've been wandering for half my life, but now I only have Chan'er as an only son, it's far from enough, madam..."

After speaking, he took Mrs. Gan's hand and walked into the room.

Gentle Township, Hero Tomb.

at the same time.

Upstairs at the North Gate of Jiangling.

In front of the brazier, Zhao Yun sat on a temporary wooden chair, closing his eyes and resting.

He hadn't climbed the walls for four days in a row.

At this time, it was hard to hide the exhaustion on his face, and even the soldiers nearby couldn't bear it, so he brought a wooden chair to Zhao Yun and let him sit guarding the city.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, Zhao Yun opened his eyes and looked not far away.

Just now, he clearly heard a slight sound of neat footsteps.

It sounds like a well-trained elite.

But the patrolling soldiers just passed by, and the next patrol will take a stick of incense before passing there.

"Come on, come with me."

Zhao Yun got up with his gun and walked towards the place where the voice came from. .

Chapter 76

At the North Gate.

in a dark corner.

Huang Zhong took the three hundred elites and took advantage of the night to walk along the wall and towards the city gate.

Because of the detailed information provided by Guo Yong, Huang Zhong knew very well the time of the defense at the north gate and the number of people stationed there.

Only then did it come to the vicinity of the city wall without any danger, hiding in the dark, secretly looking at Liu Jun's soldiers in front.

There were about thirty people at the door.

In addition, there was a squad of [-] people stationed not far away. Together with the [-] Liu soldiers on the North City Tower, in a short period of time, about [-] soldiers and horses could be gathered.

With the three hundred elites in his hands, it is very difficult to stop the four thousand warriors.

Fortunately, before he came, Guo Yong had already discussed with several major families in the city, and he would send his family soldiers to make some noises to disturb Jiangling City and attract the troops in the city.

Therefore, what Huang Zhong has to do is to wait patiently.

suddenly.

Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed.
