Chapter 0070 - Cheating on eating and drinking is also capable
Cheng Yanjin quickly brought in one person.
The man was about forty years old, not tall, with sparse eyebrows and beards, a little thin, and a pair of eyes that were squinted as if they could not be opened. His hair was pimple, and he was dressed in a green robe, which was also covered with stains.
Looking at the clothes, it doesn't look like a pseudo-court official. But this person's cheeks are flushed, and he doesn't look hungry or cold, so he must also have a certain status.
Liu Mang is disgusted with sloppy people, and he has no good impression of this person at all. even complained in his heart that Cheng Biting Jin, what did he do with him, and he could be slaughtered with a knife.
Liu Mang was observing the man, and the man was also observing Liu Mang.
This person was a prisoner, but there was no trace of fear on his face, which made Liu Mang a little surprised.
"County Lieutenant Liu? It is not easy to be a county official at a young age. β
The man said flattering words, but Liu Mang felt very awkward when he listened to it.
Liu Mang snorted coldly twice and said, "Don't discuss what official position I have, I just want to know, what kind of official position you are under Zhang Ju?" β
The man seemed to know what Liu Mang was thinking, touched his oily face, and said, "Did the county lieutenant look at my complexion and guess that I must be an important member of Zhang Ju's subordinates?" β
"I'm really curious about what you eat every day."
"County Lieutenant Liu, you are wrong. Food, sex too! It is not necessarily only those who work for the pseudo-emperor to eat and drink enough. β
Hearing him call Zhang Ju like this, he really doesn't look like an official of Zhang Ju's puppet court, Liu Mang is not interested in this kind of person, but he wants to know, how can this guy get mixed with Zhang Ju to eat and drink.
"Let's talk about it, Zhang Ju is hiding in the mountains, with little food and clothing, since you say that you are not an official or an official, how can you eat enough? Speaking of which, I let my brothers learn from it, and in the future, when they march and fight, they will save so much food. β
"A certain person is also a person who has read books, and a person who reads, of course, he has to rely on his mouth to eat."
"Humph!" Liu Mang sneered, "Pretending to be a ghost, divining fortunes, and being deceived into eating and drinking, right?" β
The man's eyes opened in a rare way. "Although County Lieutenant Liu is young, he knows how to make a living, which is rare!"
If Liu Mang heard this kind of compliment two months ago, he would inevitably be proud. But since he arrived in Youzhou, life has been stable, Liu Mang has had a smooth life, and he has heard a lot of compliments, and he has become more and more disgusted with this kind of unnutritious sycophancy.
"Witch Doctor, swagger and deception! Lao Cheng, drag him out for me and behead him! β
Liu Mang was furious, and the man was a little flustered. "Hey, don't don't, I'm not done yet! Lieutenant Liu, you will have woe! β
"Hahaha......" Liu Mang laughed, this trick of using disasters as an excuse to deceive others is too childish.
Liu Mang smiled and waved his hand. "Lao Cheng, drag it out......"
"Hey, hey, hey!" The man finally panicked.
mixed in Zhang Ju's nest, relying on this kind of pretext, he fooled up and down Zhang Ju's camp, and they were polite to him, others were hungry, but he had good food and drink.
It stands to reason that as soon as these words come out, anyone has to listen to them first.
However, why didn't the young county lieutenant in front of him play his cards according to the routine?
Cheng Yanjin came over and grabbed the back of the man's neck, and was about to drag him out.
"Slow down, what I'm going to talk about is Gongsun Bogui, Yuan Benchu and Liu Youzhou!"
Hey?
Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao and Liu Yu?
How did this man know that he was most concerned about these three princes?
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, although they have not been in contact, are the two princes that Liu Mang currently regards as opponents.
Needless to say, Liu Mang came to Youzhou because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would embarrass himself. Yuan Shao will be his opponent sooner or later, and he will be a strong opponent.
Gongsun Zhan, although there is no intersection for the time being, but Gongsun Zhan's territory is in Youbeiping, and he wants to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, and sooner or later he will have a relationship with him.
And Liu Yu accepted himself and was his benefactor.
What is the reason why this man does not mention the other princes of the world, but only mentions these three people?
"Pull it back." Liu Mang walked up to the man, stared at him for a while, and said, "I'll give you one last chance to listen to what you say." However, don't fool me with those clichΓ©s, I have to listen to your every word and analyze it clearly. β
The man shook his head helplessly. "If I'm right, so what?"
"Spare your life."
"No way!"
Liu Mang couldn't help but sneer: "Hehe, do you still want to talk about conditions?" β
That person didn't seem to be afraid of Liu Mang's coldness. "Small conditions, I only need a hut to avoid the cold, two meals a day."
After cheating on eating and drinking at Zhang Ju's place, he came to me to cheat on eating and drinking?
Liu Mang was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
However, perhaps it was the confidence shown by this person that made Liu Mang want to hear what he would say.
"If the analysis is reasonable, it will satisfy you. Go ahead. β
The man cleared his throat and said, "County Lieutenant Liu must be a member of the Han family. β
His surname is Liu, and it is not difficult for this person to guess that he is a relative of the Han family. Liu Mang looked at him coldly.
The man knew that Liu Mang was waiting for his analysis. He obviously likes to make things mysterious rather than put everything on the table.
However, Liu Mang's cold eyes reminded him that he couldn't pass the test without analysis.
"County Lieutenant Liu should be a distant relative of the Han family, so he had to come to Youzhou."
Seeing Liu Mang's still questioning eyes, the man had to continue to analyze: "If it weren't for the Han clan, Liu Youzhou would not have been entrusted with the task of a county." β
"Go on."
"County Lieutenant Liu once fought in the Hebei area, and only came to Youzhou not long ago. The subordinates of the county lieutenant have many people who speak with an accent, and there are few people who speak with a Youzhou accent, and the chiefs of each part are long, and they mostly speak foreign accents, so it is inferred, should it be? β
"Continue to ......" Liu Mang gradually became a little interested in this person. Even if this guy is a god, at least he is a logical god.
The man grew more confident and spoke eloquently.
"Under Lieutenant Liu, there are many brave and good fighters." The man pointed at Cheng and bit the gold, "It seems that this general, loyal and brave is not inferior to Wuyang Marquis Fan, if he serves the imperial court, it is enough to be a marquis and worship the general, and he is willing to serve Liu County Lieutenant as a small step archer, it can be seen that Liu County Lieutenant not only has the name of the Han clan, but also has the skill of controlling people, and has the heart to chase the world." β
Liu Mang slowly paced to his seat and sat down.
"Liu County Lieutenant is determined to be in the world, and his subordinates are full of talents, but there is a shortage of soldiers and horses. The land of Youzhou, although it seems to be prosperous and rich, but it is entrenched in the two major forces of Gongsun Bogui (Gongsun Zhan) and Gongsun Shengji (Gongsun Du), although Liu Boan (Liu Yu) has the name of Cha Youzhou, but he does not have the strength to control Youzhou. There are more foreign nuisances such as Xianbei Wuhuan and so on, and Liu County Lieutenant wants to develop in Youzhou, difficult, difficult, difficult! β
These words hit Liu Mang's heart.
"Regardless of the soldiers' money and food, just the matter of military horses. Gongsun Bogui has the name of the white horse general, and the good rider of Youzhou is owned by him. If the county lieutenant wants to recruit military horses, he will inevitably fight with them! β
Liu Mang subconsciously pressed the small mole on his chin, and his brows gradually tightened.
This guy who doesn't look amazing has such insight into his own situation and the situation in Youzhou, who is he?
