Chapter 871 Liu Bei Exploded

Jingzhou, Nanjun, Jiangling City.

Jiang Wan, who left Chang'an, left through Wuguan and returned straight to Jingzhou.

Originally, Jiang Wan wanted to go directly down the river and return to Changsha. After reporting to Liu Qi first, he would then discuss with Zhuge Liang.

But the words Liu Zhang said to him before leaving always appeared in his mind unconsciously.

Is it Liu Qi who has the final say on Jingzhou affairs, or Liu Bei who has the final say?

In fact, to Jiang Wan, it doesn't matter who says what.

His position as secretary is still hanging in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Liu Qi's position as the prefect of Changsha and the governor of the four counties in Jingnan are all self-proclaimed and not recognized by the court at all.

The only official position recognized by the court in Jingzhou is Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Therefore, Jiang Wan's affiliation normally belongs to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

But since the war between Jingnan and Jingbei, the two sides have already torn their faces.

Cai Mao even deprived Liu Qi of all positions in the name of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and even branded him a traitor.

It's just that the four counties in Jingnan have long since ceased to be under the jurisdiction of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and Jiang Wan can also be said to be Liu Qi's subordinate official.

But no matter how you calculate it, it is impossible for Jiang Wan to be Liu Bei's subordinate. This is undisputed.

Moreover, Jiang Wan himself did not have a good impression of Liu Bei, who robbed other people's land.

Even if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang worked flawlessly with the cooperation of Xu Shu, they could only fool the stupid Liu Qi, but it was difficult to fool Jiang Wan.

But Jiang Wan was also grateful for Zhuge Liang's kindness.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't personally visited Lingling to discover him, Jiang Wan would still be a minor official in the county, let alone have the opportunity to go to Chang'an.

After Zhuge Liang discovered Jiang Wan, he did not tell Liu Qi about Jiang Wan's talent, but had some selfish intentions, hoping to find an opportunity to recommend Jiang Wan to Liu Bei.

Therefore, for a long time after Zhuge Liang left, Jing Nan did not entrust Jiang Wan with important tasks.

Jiang Wan can generally understand Zhuge Liang's little thoughts, but understanding does not mean understanding.

Zhuge Liang's behavior further proves the fact that Liu Bei intends to replace Liu Qi.

This trip to Chang'an to seek a war horse deal was essentially an emergency.

If it weren't for Zhuge Liang who really had no candidates, Jiang Wan might still be his secretary in Lingling County.

This time when returning to Jingnan, he happened to be passing through Jiangling, so Jiang Wan abandoned the boat and went ashore, planning to go to Jiangling to meet Liu Bei first.

Jiang Wan was also quite curious about Liu Bei.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, the typical example is an undead cockroach!

No matter what kind of difficulties you face, you can stand up again.

Jiang Wan also heard that Liu Bei fought alongside Liu Zhang during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

During this trip to Chang'an, Jiang Wan really saw Liu Zhang's domineering and majestic.

I can't help but have a strong interest in this figure who rose at the same time as Liu Zhang.

What kind of person is Liu Bei?

It was precisely this curiosity in his heart that prompted Jiang Wan to directly step into the gate of the prefect's mansion.

After waiting for a while, Liu Bei finally appeared in front of Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan had to admit that he was very surprised by Liu Bei's temperament, and he couldn't help but feel good about Liu Bei's face.

No wonder people in the world say that Liu Bei is a benevolent, righteous and virtuous king, and he really is extraordinary.

"Lingling Shu Zuo Jiang Wan, pay my respects to Governor Liu!"

"Shu Zuo?"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and whispered something to himself.

How could a little secretary from Lingling County come to him?

In line with the idea of ​​being a corporal, Liu Bei still greeted him with a smile.

"Jiang Wan, why are you looking for me in Jiangling?"

Liu Bei thought he was hiding it well, but in fact, the subtle changes in his expression had long been captured by the delicate Jiang Wan.

Especially the look of contempt in his eyes when he heard about the position of Shu Zuo.

Hey, both Liu Bei and Liu Zhang are relatives of the Han family, but the achievements of the two are very different, and it is not without reason.

Jiang Wan sighed softly in his heart, greatly disappointed by Liu Bei's performance.

He vaguely remembered Liu Zhang's surprise and appreciation when he saw him, and he did not despise him at all because of external factors such as low official position.

"Report to Governor Liu, I am following the order of Zhuge's military adviser to go to Yizhou to meet with General Wei, oh no, Duke Qin traded war horses."

"What! Duke Qin?"

Liu Bei screamed and was stunned by Jiang Wan's words.

"Liu Zhang proclaimed himself public?"

Jiang Wan was taken aback. Liu Bei's voice was so sharp that it almost pierced his ears.

"Reporting to the prefect, Liu Zhang will formally proclaim the Duke and Jianguo at the beginning of next year, and the name of the country is Qin."

Liu Beiteng stood up suddenly and cursed directly. .

"Traitors, traitors, national thieves, Han thieves!"

"This Liu Zhang is really a clan member of the Han family in vain. He is not satisfied with the official residence and general Wei, so he dares to presume to call himself the Duke of Qin, and even calls himself the Duke of Qin!"

"Where does Liu Zhang put his Majesty, where does he put the Han Dynasty? Where does he put this prefect?"

"This prefect and this thief are incompatible! If you don't kill this thief, you will not be a human being!"

bang!

As he said that, Liu Bei drew out his sword and cut the case in front of him in half.

Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly sneered in his heart.

Liu Xuande is really a hypocrite, his eyes are obviously envious and jealous, but he pretends to be a loyal minister!

It seems that he wants to use his mouth to publicize his loyalty and patriotism!

If Liu Bei had any sympathy in Jiang Wan's heart before, it was gone now.

Liu Bei thought he was hiding it well, but Jiang Wan could see the greed in his eyes.

"Prefect Liu calm down."

Hearing Jiang Wan's reassurance, Liu Bei took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down his excitement.

"Jiang Wan, you went to Chang'an to discuss the trade of military horses with the traitor Liu Zhang, how did he reply?"

Liu Bei brought up the topic of war horses, which further confirmed Jiang Wan's disdain for him.

Just now he was still angrily scolding Liu Zhang, wanting to be at odds with him. In the blink of an eye, he was thinking about his war horse.

"Liu Taishou, didn't you say that you want to live with Liu Zhang forever?"

Liu Bei's face suddenly darkened, he didn't expect that a small secretary would dare to be so rude.

"Jiang Wan, the prefect is asking you something, you just need to answer it!"

Jiang Wan was taken aback for a moment, then surrendered.

"Qin Gong said, five thousand stones of grain and grass will be exchanged for a war horse."

"What! Liu Zhang is poor and crazy?"

Liu Bei let out another scream and almost jumped up.

What is the concept of five thousand stone grain and grass?

One stone is thirty dollars, five thousand stones is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

Is 150,000 expensive?

In fact, it is not expensive. After all, this is the Jingxiang area, and war horses are completely priceless.

When the real war horse is here, let alone 150,000, even 200,000 or 300,000 are no problem.

Anyway, the war horse is here, if you want it at this price, if you don't, you can pull it down.

However, some time ago, Cai Hao just bought 20,000 horses at a price of 500 shi, which made Liu Bei unable to accept it!

Jingnan is not short of food and grass, but he is not rich enough to buy a war horse with five thousand shi!

What's more, the current Jingnan is not Liu Bei's word, even if Liu Bei agrees, maybe Liu Qi will not agree.
