Xinye, Liu Bei's residence.
In the dead of night, Liu Mang tossed and turned.
Going to Jiangdong to be a hostage may be his only chance to seek death quickly.
"The blue-eyed child seems to be kind and kind, but in fact he is narrow-minded!"
"If you go there and insult him, you will definitely kill me in anger."
"In a few days, Jiangdong's envoy will be coming. We cannot let go of such a good opportunity!"
In order to catch the broken ship in Jiangdong, Liu Mang had good intentions.
Before the Jiangdong envoy arrived, he had always behaved well and did not provoke Liu Bei at all.
He was afraid that his cheap dad would drive him back to Shuijing Academy.
As for Liu Adou?
Who cares about him?
Liu Mang is preoccupied with figuring out how to be a hostage. This is a critical moment to return to the modern world, so he can't be careless!
As Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong expected, the Jiangdong envoy was an honest man named Lu Su.
For Lu Su and Zhou Yu, who also saw the situation clearly, they understood that Liu Biao's descendants were ultimately weak and weak, and could never resist Cao Cao.
On the contrary, the guest general Liu Bei is the powerful chess piece that can stop Cao Cao and buy time for Jiangdong.
Lu Su has a beard and a square face. At first glance, he looks like a loyal elder.
"Jiangdong Lu Zijing, I have met Uncle Liu Huang!"
"I have long admired my name, please!"
Liu Bei and the host exchanged business information and everyone took their seats.
Also coming to protect Lu Su was Ling Tong.
Seeing Gan Ning would inevitably make him an enemy, and he would be extremely jealous. Liu Bei hinted that Gan Ning had better not show up.
"This is the son of Wu Hou's late general Ling Cao."
Lu Su introduced: "Ling Tong has outstanding achievements, is brave and good at fighting, and is also the favorite general of the Marquis of Wu!"
Little Doll!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes were full of disdain. He was first in civil and military affairs, but second in martial arts. How could they not know Ling Tong's strength?
Ling Tong looked ashamed and angry. He was captured alive by Gan Ning that day, which made him feel ashamed!
"General Ling is indeed a talented person."
After Liu Bei complimented him casually, he introduced: "This is my second brother Guan Yunchang, and my third brother Zhang Yide! Military advisor Zhuge Kongming, and deputy military advisor Pang Shiyuan!"
Looking at Liu Mang who was accompanying him, Liu Bei reluctantly introduced: "And, Bei's eldest son Liu Mang and Liu Changqing!"
Everyone paid tribute one after another, but Liu Mang was already ready to go to Jiangdong.
"Ling Tong? Brave and good at fighting? Is he the one who was captured alive by General Gan Xingba?"
"I don't think the martial arts skills are very good. Could it be that all the heroes in Jiangdong rely on their bragging skills?"
"The children of Jiangdong are so talented, and all their martial arts skills depend on Tai Shici!"
As soon as this statement came out, Ling Tong was furious and said: "Nonsense! There are Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi and others under the command of Wu Hou! What do you mean there is only Taishi Ci?"
Taishi Ci, an old general of Sun Ce, was different from others who submitted to the Sun family.
Taishi Ci was the one who brought money into the group, and Liu Yao's old soldiers and horses all obeyed Taishi Ci's orders.
After Sun Quan came to power, he also gradually became aware of the power that originally belonged to his brother Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and worried that these veterans would one day support Sun Ce's son to ascend the throne.
Therefore, when Liu Mang mentioned that Taishi Ci was the Jiangdong general's facade, Ling Tong's mentality exploded.
"Oh? If General Ling can fight, among you here, except for me, my father, and the two military advisors, who can you beat?"
"I……"
Ling Tong raised his eyes and saw that except Liu Bei and his son, the old, weak, sick and disabled, he really couldn't beat anyone!
Warm wine beheaded Hua Xiong, Yan Liang was killed, and Guan Yunchang was punished for being ugly.
Taking the enemy's head is like Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide trying to retrieve something from a bag.
Changshan Zhao Zilong who defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou head-on.
Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun are all enemies of ten thousand people!
Ling Tong wanted to spar, but he didn't want to die!
He decisively chose to take a step back, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Hmph! One day, the emperor's uncle and the generals can go to Jiangdong in person and meet with the heroes of Jiangdong!"
"You don't make drafts when you are bragging. Do you have many heroes in Jiangdong? Those who can penetrate our eyes can only have two ears!"
As a young man, Ling Tong can be said to explode at the drop of a hat.
"Two Zhangs from Jiangdong can bring peace and prosperity to the country! Can Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong be heroes?"
"Zhang Zhao is fierce in appearance and jealous at heart, and Zhang Hong is devoted to his family. If Cao Cao comes to suppress the enemy in the future, the two of them will definitely lead the way in surrendering!"
Ling Tong was not convinced and spoke again: "Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are invincible across the Yangtze River. Can they be heroes?"
Liu Mang clapped his hands, and Gan Ning stepped forward, "Can the two of them be called invincible masters in crossing the Yangtze River? That's because they haven't met my Jinfan General Gan Xingba!"
you……
When Ling Tong saw Gan Ning, he would have drawn his sword and slashed at him if not for the signal in Lu Su's eyes.
"Cheng Puhan and Lu Meng are both wise and brave, can they be heroes?"
"The old ones are old, the young ones are young, Wu Xia Ameng, I don't know a single big character, how dare I rule the roost? I'm a bear!"
Ling Tong was furious and wanted to talk back, but was stopped by Lu Su.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong laughed at this situation, but Liu Mang's intrusion gave them the right to speak.
"Uncle Emperor, you two military advisors, today the two families are uniting the Qin and Jin Dynasties, not competing against each other!"
"What Zijing said is true. My Lord is willing to make peace with the Marquis of Wu."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The land of Jiangxia was originally captured by Wu Hou. We are just here to stay temporarily. When the emperor's uncle takes Yizhou, it will not be too late to return."
Although Lu Su was a loyal elder, he was not stupid and did not directly challenge him.
"To show his sincerity, my lord will even send the young master to give to Marquis Wu as a pledge!"
After hearing this, Lu Su was relieved, nodded and said: "You and I are old acquaintances! That day at Sishui Pass, the emperor's uncle fought with my old master!"
"Actually, Marquis Wu has never forced the matter of hostages! Since the emperor's uncle took the initiative, I, Soochow, will gladly accept it."
Is this called an honest person?
He is clearly an old man!
"I wonder, which young master is coming to Jiangdong?"
"Exactly..."
Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he heard Liu Mang say: "It's me!"
Um?
Liu Bei was confused, why did this traitor speak so randomly?
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were equally shocked. Master, it was Adou who agreed to be the hostage. Don't join in the fun!
"Okay! If you dare to come to my Jiangdong, I'll let you meet the heroes of my Jiangdong!"
Ling Tong gritted his teeth, but saw Gan Ning standing in front of Liu Mang, looking at him coldly.
As long as anyone dares to be disrespectful to Liu Mang, he should first ask him about Gan Ning's sword!
"If Mr. Liu Mang goes there, that would be great!"
Lu Su heard that a scholar from Jiangdong said that Liu Mang had always been talented and could be said to be Liu Bei's true successor.
If he is taken as a hostage, Liu Bei's power will definitely be suppressed and he can be used by Soochow!
"Sir, my Marquis Wu is very kind to others. Don't worry after you go!"
"Yeah! In fact, Wu Hou is fine anywhere, as long as he doesn't lead troops!"
As soon as Liu Mang said this, Lu Su's face turned pale. How come these words were exactly the same as what Gong Jin said?
"With Wu Hou's level, even if he participated in a street fight in my hometown, he would be at the level of a loser!"
"By the way, I would like to remind Wu Hou not to lead a hundred thousand troops. You know he doesn't have the ability!"
"Also, Jiangdong, don't worry about the land of Hefei. Even if you do, don't let Wu Hou personally take action!"
Lu Su had already begun to refuse at this time: "Uncle Emperor, otherwise the hostage should be changed to someone else! I'm afraid that Mr. Liu Mang will offend the Marquis of Wu, but it will make the two families enmity!"
Liu Bei quickly nodded and said: "What Zijing said is true!"
But Liu Mang said anxiously: "Lu Zijing, what I said are all good words! Proton? Choose me, choose me!"
