Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 737

"This doll is made by my hands, is it similar to my daughter? Then I want a dowry...Is it too much?"

Guo Jia, Xun Yu and the others looked at each other.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that what he said made sense.

"How much...how much?"

"It's not expensive, just ten gold!" Xia Houzhe said calmly.

"What kind of horse? Ten gold? Are you stealing money by stepping on the horse?"

"This word is really just right! It doesn't look high-profile, but it also shows force."

Everyone exclaimed, and no one was willing to pay.

This is not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family to use for ten years.

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes:

"Ten gold can't buy a loss and can't be fooled. Ten gold can be exchanged for a daughter-in-law who doesn't quarrel with you and is at your mercy?"

"Don't worry, you are satisfied! Don't you know my reputation and the quality of my items?"

"You don't want to hold back yourselves in future wars, do you? Isn't it convenient to have a woman who can carry it with you without being scolded by Lao Cao?"

The temptation of these words to this group of generals is very great.

On the edge of the city, you can find a brothel, but during the field battle, you are the only one to accompany you.

Guo Jia thought for a while, after a symbolic struggle in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, he took out ten gold and handed it to Xia Houzhe.

"You who are on the horse, go all out! Order me one!"

"Yuanyi, let me ask another question."

"Is the doll you're talking about...realistic?"

"Really! Really! You can rest assured."

Xia Houzhe nodded sternly.

In fact, I secretly complained in my heart: It would be good if you can solve your problems with a fight, why are you still picky.

With his guarantee, everyone placed orders one after another.

They were not afraid of the other party's repudiation, and ten golds was just a drizzle to Xia Houzhe.

"Wait a while, brothers, I have already felt your enthusiasm."

"But... I only have so many materials in my hand right now, I can only make a few!"

"I can only plant this rubber tree after taking down Jian'an County (Fujian) in Yangzhou, and then I will be able to produce more dolls!"

Under his explanation, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Zhao Fan finally got a spot.

"Old Zhao, you're new here. I know you bought this thing to blend in with the group, so take this doll as my gift for you!"

Xia Houzhe saw through Zhao Fan's careful thinking, and said with a smile.

At present, he is Cao Ying's second in command anyway, and occasionally the first in command, so it is right to take care of his subordinates.

Zhao Fan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Xiahou! There is no reward for such a small one!"

The atmosphere was once harmonious and harmonious.

Seeing that their colleagues got along so well, Xun Yu felt moved, took out a small notebook and recorded it together with the deputy editor Pang Tong.

They decided to publish what happened today in tomorrow's newspaper.

'Those who surrender to Cao Ying will not only have high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but also a set of inflatable dolls as long as they join the job!Quality Three Guarantees...'

'There are also five insurances and one gold with annual leave, including work assignments, including assignments of daughter-in-law, what are you waiting for if you want to jump Cao? '

After finishing writing, I also provided the newspaper with a picture of Zhao Fan grinning loudly.

After finishing all this, Pang Tong and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled meanly.

They feel that as long as this wave is publicized, it will definitely attract a large wave of talents.

……

Compared with Cao Ying's harmony and ease, Liu Bei on the other side had an extremely difficult life.

Because they ran too eagerly, they didn't have time to bring much food and grass, and now the army was hungry.

The generals took five thousand soldiers and fled from Guiyang all the way to Lingling County in the west, intending to sneak into Shu through Lingling.

"Brother, I haven't eaten for two meals. The soldiers are quite critical, and there is a vague posture of mutiny. What should I do?"

Guan Yu asked with a worried face.

Because of the continuous defeat, the morale has been exhausted.

Coupled with the lack of military rations, the army was already on the verge of defecting.

Joining the army is just to eat, and you can't even satisfy the soldiers, so why not keep it if you don't mutiny?

Looking at the remnant soldiers and defeated generals behind him, Liu Bei's thoughts moved, and he immediately came up with a solution.

Liu Bei turned around and looked at the soldiers and generals, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"I didn't succeed in my mission! I, Liu Bei, was careless, and let Zhao Fan kill so many of our brothers!"

"Now that I, Liu Bei, am incompetent, I let you go hungry and cold! It's me...I'm sorry for you!"

While talking, tears fell down in big ones, and the face was full of guilt and self-blame.

"Everyone... In fact, I, Liu Bei, have a granary near Lingling. There are a lot of grain and grass in it. If you are willing to bear it..."

"I promise to feed you all! If you don't want to suffer, you can... leave on your own! Alas!"

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and wiped his tears with his back to everyone.

Seeing Liu Bei's guilt-ridden expression, all the soldiers were embarrassed to leave.

"My lord! Since there is food and grass in Lingling, then... let's speed up!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers with four points of disbelief, three points of surprise, two points of gratitude and one point of gratitude on his face.

"Everyone, thank you for your understanding! Thank you very much!"

Seeing that the army had temporarily stabilized, Guan Yu, Yan Liang and the others were also relieved.

Several people quietly walked to Liu Bei's side and asked in low voices.

"Brother, do we really have a granary in Lingling? We don't even know about it, you are really hiding it!"

"Hey, my lord! If you have food, grass, and military spirit, you don't have to worry about it. We will have military rations to continue our campaign when we go to Xishu."

Hearing Guan Yu and Wei Yan's words, Liu Bei smiled wryly and shook his head.

"There is no food and grass, it's just a plan to wait for food to stop hunger!"

"What? No food? Then... what should I do?"

The faces of the few people were shocked. Sooner or later, the lies they told would be exposed, and the backlash would only get stronger and stronger.

"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, so let's take a step and see it!"

Liu Bei sighed, now he can only make big cakes and sell them miserably in order to temporarily solve the predicament.

If there is really no other way at that time, he can only rob some small bandits, or rob some common people's money and food to deal with emergencies first.

Those who want to achieve great things should not stick to small details.

He must keep the thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, which is related to his future development in Xishu.

Just as the brothers were walking and discussing, Kong Ming saw a figure lying in the snow with sharp eyes, which was almost covered by snow.

"Wait! My lord, generals, look! Is that a person?"

Liu Bei followed his gaze and nodded in surprise.

"It seems to be a person, or a child! This winter... if you encounter it, save it!"

Guan Yu Wei Yan took the order, and hurried forward to pull the man out of the snow.

Everyone looked intently, and it turned out that it was a dying and extremely ugly little dwarf.

In an instant, the group lost interest, and their hearts were shocked.

"help me…"

The man said tremblingly, as if he might die at any moment.

"This guy... seems to be dying of cold and starvation, but we don't have any food right now, my lord... let's forget it."

Wei Yan frowned and said, with disgust in his eyes.

He has a face on his head, but this guy looks...but he has a hoe on his head.

Those who are ugly these days are not welcome. In any era, people are judged by their faces.

Hearing Wei Yan's indifferent words, Liu Bei immediately interrupted, and with a long sigh, he deliberately yelled loudly.

"Hey! Wen Chang, why do you have such an idea?"

"Since we have met him, how can we not save him? I, Liu Bei, cannot do such a cruel thing!"

"Come here! Feed him all the rations I have left! Then put my clothes on him to keep warm!"

Liu Bei's words about the remaining rations were extremely heavy.

He sees it very clearly. What's the point of giving if you don't let other people know about your kindness for others?

Wei Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, and he refused to feed the other party.

"My lord! This is all we have to eat. You gave it to him. What shall we eat? Shall we drink the northwest wind?"

Liu Bei waved his hand: "It's alright, Wenchang! I'll only give my share, so don't worry!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei personally took out half of the hard biscuit that he had bitten, and handed it to the short and ugly guy.

He also took off his coat and put it on for the other party.

After finishing all this, Liu Bei looked back at the soldiers and soldiers secretly.

I saw them all showing admiration!

"My lord, benevolence and righteousness! I admire you!"

After the man got the hard cake, he glanced at Liu Bei gratefully.

Picking up the pancake with trembling hands, he bit it with all his strength.

The pancakes were very hard, and it was very cold in winter, but this person didn't mind at all. After eating them, he chewed them a few times and then straightened his neck and swallowed them.

In normal times, he would have thrown away such food directly, and he didn't even bother to look at it.

But right now, because of such a simple piece of cake, he sees the warmth of the world.

I just feel that there is a golden halo behind Liu Bei's head, which is shining brightly. If he is given another pair of wings, he may ascend to heaven.

After Liu Bei gave the other party the cake and clothes, he set off with his army and continued on his way.

But the other party ate the half pancake, regained some strength, and chased after him with all his strength.

"Wait! The hero in front, please wait!"

Hearing the shout, Liu Bei frowned and became a little impatient. He ate his only cake. How could he have a good attitude?

But when Zhuge Liang and others looked at him, Liu Bei showed a professional smile again.

"Little...cough, what else do you need, friend? I'm in a hurry to leave with the army, and I really don't have time to send you home."

The man stepped forward quickly, arched his hands and saluted deeply.

He said something that made Liu Bei ecstatic!

"I am Yizhou, don't drive, Zhang Song!"
