Chapter 43 Oaths should not be taken lightly
"Zhongkang, are there many wild boars here?" Yang Ji looked at the large wild boars carried by a dozen men in Xujiazhuang and couldn't help but ask.
“There are quite a lot of them in the mountains, and they often come out to harm our crops. Originally, no one ate them, but one time the patriarch rescued a man and taught us a The method of removing the fishy smell makes it delicious."
Xu Chu replied, carrying half a fan of wild boar meat on his back. These were hunted by Xu Chu and the others in the forest by the clan leader of Xujiazhuang.
According to the patriarch, we eat and drink here, but we can't neglect the brothers outside.
Then he asked Xu Chu to lead people to capture several wild boars and give them to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to cook some broth for the soldiers outside.
Did you see that? This is the way of human nature. With Xu Chu’s strength and the current situation of Liu Bei, Xu Chu must have airborne as soon as he passed by. He sent some good things and directly benefited the people of Xujiazhuang. Good guy card.
"Is that so? It seems that the brothers in the military camp are in good luck." Hearing this, Yang Ji replied thoughtfully.
After returning to the camp, he announced to the soldiers that there would be broth to drink tonight and there might be some meat to eat.
Suddenly, the originally deserted camp became ablaze, and every soldier was staring at the wild boar meat placed on the chopping board.
The excitement in their eyes overflowed on their faces, and everyone was happy. Even if one person could only drink a bowl of soup with some minced meat, it was still meat.
"These wild boar meats were brought by the new Xu Chu, the one next to me. Let us thank him for bringing us these meats!"
Liu Bei's words When Xu Chu fell, the soldiers below cheered, and their affection for Xu Chu was obviously rising, but Liu Bei did not fall behind either.
After all, Liu Bei was qualified to enjoy the meat exclusively, but he took it out and shared it with the soldiers. In the eyes of the big soldiers, this was benevolence.
"It's a bit late now. If we wait until the broth is cooked, it will probably be dawn, so we will break camp after eating tomorrow morning. Now, everyone goes back to rest."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he dismissed the soldiers who had gathered together and asked the cooks to process the wild boar meat on the spot where everyone could see it.
"Did you teach him?" Yang Ji, who was sitting in the tent drinking broth, looked at Chen Xi, who was also drinking broth, and asked.
After all, with Liu Bei's current thinking inertia, it is impossible to imagine why the patriarch of Xujiazhuang would send these wild boar meats to his soldiers.
And while the soldiers' good impression of him was still there last night, he personally scooped soup for the soldiers this morning, ensuring that every soldier had at least one bowl of soup to drink.
"If I don't teach, will you teach?" Chen Xi glanced at this guy who was standing and talking without pain in his back. Sooner or later, he would have to arrange some work for Acridine.
"I thought it was Duke Xuande who figured it out on his own, but I didn't expect it was You." Yang Ji blew Liu Bei's thumb without leaving any trace.
"Ziyu, you are looking down upon me. I couldn't have imagined this." When Liu Bei opened the door curtain, he happened to hear Yang Ji's words and shook his head in embarrassment.
"It seems that Zichuan is right. Eating well is indeed conducive to the cohesion of the soldiers." Liu Bei sighed and said a big fox, showing the essence of fox bragging.
Now Liu Bei has a bit of blind trust in Chen Xi. When encountering problems that cannot be solved, he directly goes to the big fox Chen Xi, who is comparable to him.
"No matter who is faced with food, he will stop and stop." Chen Xi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said with satisfaction, the secret recipe Xu Chu came up with is really powerful.
The soldiers who had finished the broth in the morning packed up the camp with a happy mood, broke out of the camp and embarked on the road to Taishan County. [We will reach Mount Tai in a few days. I hope I can arrive on time and don’t meet any blind people on the way, otherwise.]
Liu Bei looked at the busy soldiers, He couldn't help but murmur in his heart that the closer he got to Taishan County, the harder he could calm down.
Liu Bei has no intention of exceeding the deadline, even if no one in the world will come to trouble him just because of this matter.
But he is a member of the Han clan. If even his clan does not abide by the laws of the Han clan, then who can he ask to abide by the laws of the Han clan.
Although the laws of the Han Dynasty have been completely destroyed on the surface, and even the emperor has been captured by treacherous ministers, even so, Liu Bei is not willing to tear off the fig leaf of the Han Dynasty.
The clan originally existed to protect the Han Dynasty.
"Sun Wentai still died in the hands of Liu Jingsheng." Liu Bei took the information that Chen Xi had just handed him, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
“Because we don’t have a professional intelligence organization, this came to us through word of mouth from the people.” Chen Xi said with helplessness on his face.
Obviously it is still relatively important information, but even Dong Zhuo, who is in Chang'an, has received the news. They have just received the news here, and it cannot be said to be intelligence. It is obviously all public information.
"Sun Wentai died in the hands of Liu Jingsheng, and he was shot to death by random arrows. Isn't this the conclusion we have reached a long time ago? Why should we be surprised, Mr. Xuande."
"What's more, isn't this just a coincidence? Did you obey his oath? The Han Dynasty has not yet fallen, and you dare to make such an oath. You deserve to die."
Chen Xi sneered at Sun Jian's self-destruction, took away the jade seal, and returned it. Isn't it ridiculous to want to return to the old nest safely, let alone pass through the territory of the Han clan.
Maybe people don’t care about the fate of the jade seal, but Sun Jian is too arrogant to dare to make such an oath. At least now the world is still dominated by the Han Dynasty. There is nothing to say. Then you have to fulfill it. oath.
"Zichuan, what I care about is not Sun Jian's life or death, but the people who take in Sun Jian's family and soldiers." Liu Bei put away the information in his hand, the surprise on his face not yet gone.
"Who else but Yuan Shu would take them in? Although his reputation is not very good."
"But he does have a heroic temperament and promised that things will not change. Sun Jian can be regarded as a gift to his family." It left a relatively good shelter."
"If Sun Jian had not died, Yuan Shu might still be interested in Yuxi, but now there are only orphans and widowers left in the Sun family, and Yuan Shu still disdains it. Since Yu Gan did something like this, he still attaches great importance to face."
"As expected of you, Zichuan, you can infer so much from this little information and Yuan Shu's character. "
Liu Bei's face had an expression worthy of you, as if he knew that Chen Xi would know about this. For a moment, it seemed that Liu Bei knew that Chen Xi knew everything.
"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he was wondering what was wrong with Liu Bei and why he acted so naturally.
Now Chen Xi is very suspicious. He has fallen into a big pit.
