Chapter 182: Donate a horse to prepare
Liu He thought about it carefully and thought that Zhao Chang would change this way. It was not surprising that Liu Bei did two things: lending a car to a scholar who was unfamiliar with him, for his filial piety, he forgives and avoids the crimes of corrupt officials for his decisive customs, and spends all his money to him. The former is righteousness and the latter is benevolence, which are all virtues pursued by scholars.
Putting himself in his shoes, if you put Liu He in Zhao Chang's position, after witnessing Liu Bei's behavior with your own eyes, Liu He may involuntarily change his views towards Liu Bei and develop a good impression of him, just like Zhao Chang.
Getting out of the car, Zhao Chang saw Liu He who was leaving the county to greet him. Last time he left the county, he deliberately kept a distance from Liu He, but this time he walked with Liu Bei, quickly came to Liu He, bowed and said, "General Huo, Chang was so nervous."
Tian Feng, Gongsun Du, Xu Rong and others who came out of Liuhe were all surprised. Gongsun Du couldn't help but say, "When the former king and Liu Gongcao left the county, the general also saw him off. At that time, the king was in the car, as if he had not seen him, why did he thank him in person now?"
"At that time, I didn't know that the general was wise, so I was rude. Now I know that, how can I be rude again?"
"Why didn't you know it at that time, but now?"
"I heard that there were benevolent and righteous ministers in the court, then there must be a wise king. The meritorious minister of the palace, Liu, was a benevolent and righteous man. Chang knew from this that the general was a wise king."
Liu Heqin helped him up and laughed: "I dare not call myself a wise man with Xuande and benevolent people."
He saw Jian Yong holding several windmills in his hand behind Liu Bei, and saw Qian Zhao taking out two bamboo horses from the car room where Liu Bei was riding. These were all children's games. He was slightly surprised and pointed at him and asked, "Xuande, where did you buy them? Why did you bring these things back?"
Jian Yong was wearing a sword, dressed as a scholar, but he was holding a few colorful windmills in his hand, holding a majestic and burly husband, but he held a spear in one hand and a teenage boy playing with in the other hand. It was funny to fall into the eyes of everyone.
Xu Rong sniffed and laughed out loud.
Qianzhao blushed embarrassedly and hid the bamboo horse behind him. Jian Yong didn't care. He was unruly by nature. Not only did he not care about Xu Rong's laughter, he also raised the windmill with a smile and shook it against the wind.
Liu Bei was about to answer what Liu He asked, but Zhao Chang said it first: "These items were given by children from Juyong County."
"Give it to children from Juyong County?"
"Chang and Liu Jun traveled to Juyong. When they arrived at Juyong, they met hungry people on the way. Liu Jun loved him and distributed his own dry food to them. The news came out and the county people spread it. When we inspected the grain relief situation in this county and left the county and went south to Huoqiu County, the children in the county sent us to the county boundary and asked me when we would come back, saying that we would come back to welcome him when we returned. When we returned, it was one day earlier than the day that Liu Jun and the children agreed with him. Liu Jun was unwilling to break his promise, so we stayed overnight outside the boundary of Juyong County for a night and entered the county boundary the next day. The children came to greet him. He heard that Liu Jun stayed in the field for a night in order not to break his promise. The children felt that they were honest and gave them several things."
I would not even break my trust in children? In order not to break my trust in children, I would rather sleep in the wild overnight in the freezing sky?
Tian Feng, Gongsun Du, Xu Rong and others were all surprised and looked at Liu Bei together.
Liu Bei was calm and smiled: "Beijing was also fun when he was young, and the windmill was given to the children for these gifts. He didn't realize that he remembered the simple joy of his youth. He just regretted that he had no return to his life, and could only move forward and could not return to the past!"
Liu He had a way to deal with the crime of filial piety and forgiveness of corrupt officials, but he did not lose his trust in the children? Liu He really didn't know how to defeat Liu Bei.
When he returned to the general's mansion, Liu Bei returned the cart and horse to Liu He, and said with gratitude: "Thank you, brother, for sending someone to send the cart to Bei. He is really uneasy to use such a virtuous horse to Bei to drive the cart."
Liu He noticed that the rouge and red horse that had been pulled by the Han family was deliberately suppressed, but he could not hide his reluctance to love. He knew that he must have liked the horse's divine horse, and said with a smile: "Red pink gives the beauty to the beautiful woman, and a good horse gives the martyr. I already have a green dragon prong, so this horse cannot be used, so I am just giving it to my brother."
"How can this be made? When Bei was at home, he was often good horses, but there were not many of them compared to this rouge and red horse. He dared not accept the gift from his elder brother." Liu Bei's hometown Zhuojun produced horses on his own, and there were mostly horse-producing places on his side. There were often horse merchants coming and going, and he had seen many good horses.
"Although you and I are not born together, my love is beyond flesh and blood. What is a horse? I will give it to you if I say I will give it to you, don't refuse."
"Then...then...then...then, I dare not refuse. Since that's the case, I will accept it." Who doesn't like the good horse? Seeing that I couldn't refuse, Liu Bei happily agreed.
When Jian Yong heard this, he also showed joy in his face.
He is good at martial arts and is also a person who loves horses. The Han family is a great hero in Shanggu. The rouge and red horse used by the patriarch Han Sheng is not comparable to an ordinary horse. Although he has lost some handsomeness because he has been restrained by the shafts of the chariot for many years, as long as he is well maintained, he will recover sooner or later. He fell in love with it as soon as he saw it. At this time, he saw Liu He give it to Liu Bei, which means he can ride on a horse at any time. How could he not be happy?
In the era of cold weapons, a good war horse is of great significance to a warrior and is hard to come by. If a good pair of armor can enhance the warrior's defense, then a good war horse can greatly enhance the warrior's offensive power. In the formation of the two armies, two people confront each other. If one of them drives a good horse, then they will take advantage of both speed and impact. The opponent may not be ready, and you have already rushed to the front, then you can take a knife and then you can return to the camp.
It is precisely because he knows and loves horses that he knows the value of this horse, and it must be worth at least 100 gold. This 100 gold refers to the price of horses in peace and prosperity. Today, there is a shortage of horses. An ordinary horse can be sold for two million yuan, which is 200 gold. Why not give up such a good horse with a divine horse? There are thousands of golds to buy, and it has to be priced but not a market.
Things worth tens of millions, with no market price, were sold out in one sentence. Liu He's generous share of money is like dirt, and he is very impressed by the trick.
"My dear brother works hard and travels to the county, inspects the officials of various counties, and inspects the relief of refugees in various counties. I give this horse to me not only because I have a love for you and me, but also to serve the tens of thousands of refugees in Shanggu County and thank you for your wishes."
Liu Bei traveled to the cold area for more than ten days in the county. Wherever he passed, officials, scholars and people all praised him. He not only praised his own reputation, but also praised Liu He's reputation for "knowing people and making good use of things, and valued scholars over money". In terms of emotion and reason, Liu He had to receive a favor for him.
That night, Liu He held a banquet and did not ask too many people to come. Only Tian Feng, Gongsun Du, Xu Rong and others accompanied Liu Bei, led a trick, Jian Yong and Liu Xiu were wiped out, and they all parted in joy.
