Chapter 216
Chapter 216
Nearly a hundred people were advancing rapidly eastward in the wilderness.
Liu Bei spotted a large team in the distance.
"What is this...?"
A thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
As the distance got closer, he suddenly felt certain.
In the team resting in the wilderness, some soldiers were dressed like soldiers from Tanghai County.
The sophisticated armor and sharp weapons.
They were something he had never seen in his teacher Lu Zhi's team.
If not soldiers from Tanghai County, who else could they be?
Liu Bei suddenly remembered that when he went to Tanghai County before, he heard that Liu Yu led his soldiers to Qingzhou for help.
And now, could it be that he was returning from Qingzhou?
How long has it been?
The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were pacified by Liu Yu?
How is it possible? !
Liu Bei was shocked.
But he thought of the Yellow Turbans who had besieged Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou.
He also felt that with Liu Yu's presence, it was not impossible for the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou to be pacified in a short period of time.
He was thinking of a speech in his mind and led his men to the team in the wilderness.
He had prepared the documents and was determined to get a batch of weapons from Liu Yu.
Gain more trust from his teacher Lu Zhi.
Thus he could rise to prominence!
Upon receiving the news that someone was coming, the busy Taishi Ci quickly ran to the back of the team.
He found that the person was Liu Xuande, whom he had met once before.
"Isn't Chengzhi in the team?" Liu Bei frowned.
Hearing the Qingzhou man introducing the situation to him, he was immediately delighted.
Looking up and down at the person in front of him, the Qingzhou people were the most down-to-earth.
And the man in front of him had a steady look and spoke honestly, and he must be a Qingzhou man who wanted to save face.
This matter was easy to handle.
Looking past Taishi Ci, he looked at those excellent cavalrymen.
There were quite a few of them.
If he could take all these soldiers and their equipment away...
He couldn't imagine what his teacher Lu Zhi would look like when he saw such elite cavalry brought back by him.
It's not impossible for his jaw to drop to the ground.
"Ahem." Liu Bei gathered his breath, held his head high, and said solemnly with his official authority.
"I am now a subordinate of the General of the Central Army."
"Jizhou is in a tight situation in the battle against the Yellow Turbans, and Lord Lu Zhi sent me to Tanghai County to requisition weapons."
"It just so happens that the general is so brave."
"I hereby order Ziyi to follow me and immediately lead his cavalry to return to Jizhou to fight the Yellow Turbans."
"The order of the General of the Central Army must not be delayed!"
"Otherwise, military law will be followed!"
The stern voice echoed, and Liu Bei's eyes were sharp.
Taishi Ci still had that 'honest' look, but his mind was turning like lightning.
The purpose of this big-eared man in front of him was finally exposed.
Isn't it just an attempt to seize the excellent cavalry of Tanghai County under the name of an official?
If it was in the past when he was young and energetic, Taishi Ci would have slapped him.
However, people always grow up.
After experiencing so many things, he also learned to adapt.
Especially under the guidance of the county magistrate, outsmarting became a method that several commanders in Tanghai County competed to study.
The thirty-six strategies that Liu Yu explained to them in his spare time kept replaying in Taishi Ci's mind.
He was thinking about what strategy to come up with for this big-eared thief who was pretending to be powerful.
Sun Qian watched from the side and was anxious in his heart.
He also heard clearly what the visitor meant.
When he found that Taishi Ci had not spoken yet, he quickly said, "Our county magistrate is not here."
"No matter what order it is, we have no right to issue it."
"Let's wait for the county magistrate to return before we deal with everything."
"Yes." Taishi Ci nodded in agreement, and then added, "Besides, you came here and said you wanted to take the cavalry away."
"We can't confirm your identity, nor can we confirm whether you are an enemy spy."
"It's unbelievable."
Liu Bei's eyes turned, "I have the document from the General of the Central Army."
He quickly took it out of his arms and handed it over.
Sun Qian took it and looked at it. The handwriting on the document was clear, and the red official seal was very dazzling.
"This..." He didn't know how to deal with it.
They did have official documents.
Taishi Ci pulled the document, raised the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Come here!"
He was thinking about how to deal with the big-eared thief in front of him, but he never thought that the other party would reveal his flaws first.
"Capture this man pretending to be an imperial official!"
The Tanghai soldiers rushed forward and before Liu Bei could react, he was punched in the stomach.
He was in so much pain that he bent over.
He was pressed down and knelt in the wilderness.
The other 100 or so followers wanted to fight back, but they were all knocked down by the Tanghai soldiers after just one encounter..
Not one was left.
The clean and neat battle scene almost made Sun Qian exclaim.
I knew that Tanghai soldiers were powerful, but I didn't know they were so powerful!
How can an elite be described!
Sun Qian's heart was full of waves.
"I... I didn't pretend to be a court official, I am a real subordinate of the General of the Central Army!" Liu Bei, who was held down by two Tanghai soldiers, shouted.
"This... is not good." Sun Qian approached Taishi Ci and said in a low voice.
"Humph!" Taishi Ci snorted coldly, looking down at the kneeling Liu Bei.
Put the document in his hand in front of the other party.
"The document clearly said that it was about the requisition of weapons, but how come it became the requisition of cavalry when it came to you?"
A cold voice sounded, and Taishi Ci's eyes were sharp.
"Speak!"
"Did you, an official, change the military order privately?"
"You deceived the Tanghai cavalry and tried to do something unspeakable?"
Taishi Ci circled around Liu Bei with his hands behind his back: "It must be you, the guy, who is plotting a rebellion."
"You changed the military order privately temporarily, trying to coerce the Tanghai cavalry and join forces with the Yellow Turban rebels."
"It's really unforgivable!"
"No! Really not!!" Liu Bei argued vigorously.
"Brother, Taishi Ziyi brother, it was all a misunderstanding just now, a misunderstanding!"
"I misremembered the content of the document of the General of the Central Army."
"It's exactly as you said, it's about requisitioning weapons, not requisitioning cavalry!"
Liu Bei explained anxiously, but it didn't work.
Taishi Ci interrupted him on the spot: "Don't say any more!"
"Wait for the return of the Tanghai County Magistrate before making a decision."
"Come here, take this guy and his accomplices away."
"Tie them together and wait for the county magistrate to come back for interrogation."
"Remember, don't let him get away!"
"Yes!" A group of Tanghai soldiers answered loudly, dragged Liu Bei who wanted to argue a few more words, and walked away.
"Unfair, I am innocent...ah!" Liu Bei, who was dragged away by two soldiers, struggled as hard as he could.
But he was hit hard by two fists by the soldiers, and Liu Bei, who gasped in pain, could no longer say anything.
A clear track was dragged on the ground in the wilderness.
The gorgeous clothes that Liu Bei cheated from the county magistrate of Zhuo County were rolled up in mud and straw, and his image collapsed instantly.
Liu Bei, who was shaking with pain, regretted it in his heart.
Why are the leaders of Tanghai more difficult to deal with than the others?
All his previous schemes are completely useless.
