Yan Yan said to Liu Bei, "I think this does not mean that the enemy is short of food in the army. Stealing the people's food and grass is nothing more than the enemies who have gone to our rear to rob for their own use."
Yan Yan¡¯s statement was more reasonable, and many people present nodded.
"What the old general said is wrong."
However, some people still objected to Yan Yan's statement. Pang Yi said, "Why can't we do this because the enemy is short of food? Otherwise, why send people to rob the people of food and grass?"
"I said, this is for them to rob the people's food and grass for their own use in order to make it easier for them to move around," Yan Yan said.
Yan Yan didn¡¯t feel good about Pang Yi. He knew that Chengdu fell because of Pang Yi¡¯s betrayal.
He and Liu Zhang are relatives, but he was the first to stab Liu Zhang. Such a person is a shame to be associated with.
Many people present listened to these conversations, some nodded, some shook their heads, some agreed with Ma Su Pang Yi's opinion, some agreed with Yan Yan's opinion, many people expressed their opinions aloud, everyone's opinions not exactly.
"Ji Chang, what do you think?"
After Liu Bei heard what his men said, he frowned and asked Ma Liang.
"King Chu, there is too little information now to know whether Liu Zhe is short of food. The most important thing now is to deal with the people below first." Ma Liang reminded Liu Bei of what he had to do now.
Liu Bei was reminded by Ma Liang and realized immediately that yes, the people under the city were the ones he had to deal with first.
As soon as he turned his attention to the people below the city, he immediately heard various sounds coming from below.
"Let us in!"
"Where is the King of Chu? Didn't you say that the King of Chu loves his people like his own children? Why don't you open the door?"
"Yes, is the King of Chu willing to watch us common people starve and freeze?"
?¡
The people below were very dissatisfied and complained, and did not have much respect for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face became even more ugly.
Li Hui noticed Liu Bei's expression, took a step forward, and whispered to Liu Bei, "King Chu, in order to prevent spies from sneaking in, it is better to let them leave here and go to the next city."
Li Hui¡¯s words actually appealed to Liu Bei¡¯s taste. Liu Bei really didn¡¯t want the people below to enter the city.
Regardless of the fact that there were spies among them, he was unhappy just because of the disrespectful tone of the people below.
But Liu Bei knew that he couldn't do this because he cared about his reputation.
"If it were Dong Zhuo here, with the attitude of the people below, Dong Zhuo would have ordered the arrows to be fired.
"Let them come in." Liu Bei ordered. In fact, he was very reluctant.
"King Chu, be careful of spies."
"King Chu, be careful, this is the enemy's conspiracy."
Hearing that Liu Bei was about to let people in, many of his subordinates spoke out to dissuade him.
"So what if there are spies?"
Liu Bei spoke, he paused, then turned to look at his men. When he looked at his men, his eyes had turned red. His eyes were red, and he said in a sad tone, "They are all my king's subjects. I was displaced because of the enemy's invasion. This is my dereliction of duty and my fault."
"Now that they are all here, I don't care even if there are spies among them. What I care about is whether my people can be properly settled."
Liu Bei¡¯s words moved his men deeply, and many of them felt that they were following a good master.
"The King of Chu is Shengming."
"Open the door and let the people in."
Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered, "They must be settled well, but"
Liu Bei glanced at his men and said: "We must find out the spies among them, and we cannot let them cause destruction in the city."
"Here!"
The men under my command take orders.
After passing the order, Liu Bei looked at the crowd of people below, and there were still voices in the crowd that made Liu Bei unhappy.
After Liu Bei heard this, he almost wanted to order the door to be closed to prevent those people from coming in.
"King of Chu."
Ma Su said to Liu Bei from the side, "As long as we find out the enemy's spies, we can find out what Liu Zhe wants to do."
"Hmph, does Liu Zhe think he can send someone to sneak in just like this?"
Liu Bei nodded, agreeing with Ma Su's words, and said: "I will let him know what it means to suffer one's own hardships."
However, things were different from what Liu Bei thought. His men were busy all day and until midnight. They asked the people back and forth several times and used various methods such as threats and good words to persuade them. He said that the spies sent by Liu Zhe didn't even see the hair.
"What?"
After Liu Bei heard the news that his men came to report, he lost all sleep, and the anger in his heart emerged again.
After working for almost a whole day, he also waited for a whole day, and then he got this result?
"Not one?" Liu Bei's tone was full of suspicion.
How could there be none? Is Liu Zhe stupid? Why didn't you send someone to sneak in? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
