Chapter 874 Shameless
Liu Bei vented his anger recklessly, but in Jiang Wan's eyes, it was just impotent rage.
Apart from contempt and disdain, Jiang Wan had nothing to show Liu Bei.
Sure enough, Qin Gong is the hero of the world, and Liu Bei is just an opportunistic villain.
One relies on one's own hard power to lay down a piece of land step by step.
One can only sneak around, thinking about other people's achievements all the time.
Xuzhou is like this, Runan is like this, and Jingzhou is like this today!
At this moment, Jiang Wan discovered that Liu Bei was the most treacherous person in the world.
Cao Cao was scolded as a traitor, but several states in the Central Plains were also defeated one by one by himself.
Although Yuan Shao has been defeated repeatedly, it was only after defeating Gongsun Zan a few years ago that he managed to dominate Hebei.
Sun Quan inherited his father's brother's foundation and led Jiangdong. Although he did not participate in the war, after Sun Ce's death, he has been working hard to maintain the stability of the power and prevent the six counties of Jiangdong from falling apart.
Even Liu Biao, the most useless, once retained Jianghan only by virtue of his false title of state shepherd.
Without Liu Bei's disturbance, the north and south of the Yangtze River would have been peaceful.
Only Liu Bei, all achievements have never been his own efforts, either stealing or stealing!
What Jiang Wan despises the most is Liu Bei's pretentiousness.
Obviously there is a world of difference with Liu Zhang, but he always thinks that he is exactly the same, and blames everything on bad luck.
Today, after 18 years of fighting in the world, it is only with the help of the foolish Liu Qi that he has his own territory.
As a result, it immediately floated, and the eyes became higher than the top!
It's okay to look down on Jiang Wan, after all, he is just a small secretary. I didn't expect that even Liu Zhang, who was about to successfully found a country, would not pay attention to him!
"Prefect Liu, may I go?"
Standing in the prefect's mansion of Jiangling City, Jiang Wan felt uncomfortable all over, and didn't want to stay any longer!
"Walk?"
Liu Bei glared angrily, with killing intent flashing frequently in his eyes.
So many years of humiliating career actually cultivated Liu Bei's inferiority complex.
At present, all actions of Jiang Wan have been regarded as provocative actions by Liu Bei.
Anyway, he is also the prefect of a county, how can he let a secretary show off his power in front of him?
"How does the prefect know whether this letter is true or not?"
"Even if it is true, how can we guarantee that Liu Zhang will cash in a thousand horses?"
Jiang Wan took a deep breath, he believed that he had lived for twenty-six years, and he had never been so helpless.
"Liu Taishou, don't use your cognition to think about Duke Qin!"
"A thousand war horses is an astronomical figure for you, but it is a fart for Duke Qin!"
"To tell you the truth, I only found out when I went to Chang'an this time. There are so many war horses that there is nowhere to put them. We eat horse meat roasted every day in Weiyang Palace!"
Liu Bei was furious again when he heard this, and kept cursing Jiang Wan in his heart.
Rampant, ignorant, foxes pretend to be powerful!
This Liu Zhang must be blind, how could he ask for such an incompetent person who only knows how to talk nonsense?
"Jiang Wan, the prefect can let you go, but the ugly words come first!"
"If the prefect doesn't see a thousand horses, your relatives in Lingling..."
Jiang Wan stared into Liu Bei's eyes for a while, then bowed his hands and said goodbye.
"Don't worry, Taishou Liu!"
"However, it is not easy to transport the horses to the fish, it will take some time."
Liu Bei nodded, he could still understand this.
"Okay, the prefect will give you time."
Jiang Wan quickly raised his hand and shook it a few times.
"No, what I mean is whether Taishou Liu still wants to buy a war horse."
"Buy?"
The word "buy" that blurted out was stretched very long by Liu Bei.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help chuckling.
"Liu Taishou, you can decide whether to buy it or not. Ask me what to do?"
Liu Bei was suddenly embarrassed, and the purchase without hesitation was just a subconscious desire for war horses.
It's just that the high price made him have to turn affirmation into doubt.
"How about this, the prefect will discuss it with the military adviser."
"If there is a need in the follow-up, the prefect can send someone to Chang'an to discuss."
As soon as Liu Bei said this, he felt a strange feeling.
This Jiang Wan is clearly the envoy of Jingzhou, why does he look like Liu Zhang's envoy now?
Will it be like this again when I send an envoy next time?
Jiang Wan frowned slightly, and couldn't help laughing secretly.
Don't discuss such a big matter with Liu Qi anymore!
Liu Bei's ambition is clearly revealed!
Jiang Wan didn't say anything more, and immediately said goodbye.
"That being the case, Jiang Wan bids farewell!"
Liu Bei waved his hands impatiently, and hurriedly drove Jiang Wan away.
Originally, I had been in a good mood during this time, but when Jiang Wan came today, it was completely ruined.
Cai Mao bought 20,000 war horses, and at least 10,000 cavalry can be trained!
I am afraid that in the future head-on confrontation will inevitably fall into a disadvantage.
If Xiangyang cannot be captured, there will be no way to completely win Nanjun, let alone effectively control the entire Jingzhou.
In fact, Nanjun's geographical location is very superior, surrounded by the Yangtze River and the Han River, especially the important town of Xiangyang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can effectively face the attack of Nanyang County.
However, Cai Mao's affairs were fine, not enough to make Liu Bei helpless. What depressed him most was the alliance between Liu Zhang and Cao Cao.
This move can be said to completely disrupt all of Liu Bei's layout.
I don't know how long he was in a daze, until the servant reported that Zhuge Liang was coming, and Liu Bei suddenly woke up.
Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei seemed to have grasped at straws!
"Master, why are you here?"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, with a confident smile on his face all the time.
"My lord, everything in Jingnan is going according to our expectations. Your son Liu Qi is obsessed with women, and he never leaves the house all day long."
"I came here to announce the good news to my lord."
It is rare for Liu Bei to show a smile. It is thanks to Liu Bei that Liu Qi can be so fierce!
"By the way, military division, I got the news suddenly."
"Liu Zhang was granted the title of Duke of Qin, and he will become the Duke of Jianguo next year. Cao Cao has also been promoted to prime minister, and the two have formed an alliance!"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, thinking that he could resolve the crisis as easily as before, but Zhuge Liang fell into a stupor.
In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't hear the second half of Liu Bei's sentence at all, he only heard the first sentence.
"Duke Qin..."
Zhuge Liang whispered softly, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
Has the man who hugged him in the past finally come to this position?
Zhuge Liang, who has never questioned himself, is now a little shaken.
"Military division, military division?"
Hearing Liu Bei's call, Zhuge Liang quickly adjusted his mood.
"My lord, what did you just say?"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, he had never seen him like this before.
"Liu Zhang claimed the title of Duke Jiang, and Cao Cao usurped the position of prime minister. The two have formed an alliance, with Hangu Pass as the boundary, and they will be friends forever!"
Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang would still smile at the meeting without changing his expression.
Then say, 'My lord, don't worry, Liang has a plan! '
But Liu Bei watched Zhuge Liang become serious, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
"As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how could Liu Zhang form an alliance with the Cao thief? Doesn't he want to rescue the emperor?"
This has greatly exceeded Zhuge Liang's expectations!
At the time of Longzhong, Zhuge Liang gradually fought for hegemony for Liu Bei on the basis of connecting with Liu Zhang.
If Liu Zhang cannot be contacted, then all the tricks will be shattered!
"My lord, where did you get this news?"
Liu Bei's face darkened, and he suddenly became irritable.
"A man named Jiang Wan came back from Chang'an and told me."
"By the way, military commander, do you know who sent Jiang Wan?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he became excited immediately.
"My lord, where is Jiang Wan?"
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth rose slightly, his face full of complacency.
"Such an arrogant person was driven away by me!"
bang.
Zhuge Liang's extremely cherished lupine fell to the ground immediately, and then looked at Liu Bei angrily.
"what!"
