Before Liu Bei finally left Luoyang, he made a special trip to look around.

Luoyang is prosperous and you have traveled thousands of miles. When you go back, you have to bring something with you.

Liu Bei saw that there were exquisite snacks in Luoyang, so he bought some. When he saw that there were exquisite small toys, he also bought some. He didn't go to relatives during the holidays or festivals. He bought snacks and toys. He must have bought them for children.

.

When Liu Bei was buying something, people in Luoyang knew it was Liu Bei and refused to accept Liu Bei's money at all. They stuffed large and small packages of things into Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei repeatedly refused. The shopkeeper was too enthusiastic, so Liu Bei had to accept.

When preparing to leave the city, Liu Bei saw a wealthy man holding a hunting dog and carrying an eagle on his shoulder, followed by more than a dozen followers, walking majestically past him.

When he saw the eagle and the hound, Liu Bei suddenly remembered something. He stopped the wealthy man and asked him where there was a place for selling eagles and dogs in Luoyang City.

The wealthy guest looked back and saw that it was Liu Bei. He said enthusiastically on the spot, "Liu Yishi is willing to have it. You can take mine!"

While talking, the wealthy guest wanted to give the eagle dog to Liu Bei.

How could Liu Bei have the nerve to ask for it? He firmly refused.

Seeing that Liu Bei refused to accept it, the wealthy man enthusiastically took Liu Bei to the place where the hawks and dogs were sold.

Haoke seemed to be very familiar with the vendors selling eagle dogs. When they arrived at the place, Haoke greeted the vendors, "Look up! Liu Yishi is here to take care of your business! Take out all the good stuff in your hands!"

With the reputation of a wealthy businessman and the reputation of Liu Bei, the hawk dog seller immediately took out the treasures he had hidden.

Liu Bei didn't know much about hawks and dogs. The vendors were all boasting, but Liu Bei didn't understand a word of it.

After a moment, Liu Bei interrupted. He smiled and said to the traders, "I want as many eagles and dogs as you guys have."

Upon hearing this, the vendors' eyes lit up and said, "Yeah, if Liu Yishi wants a full-winged eagle, I have five or six of them together."

If there is an eagle with full wings, it means there is still something ungrown.

Liu Bei then asked, "Do you have any young eagles? You can sell them to me as well."

Liu Bei's refreshing taste made the vendors even happier.

They totaled up and found that there were not many eaglets, only about twenty.

An older eagle trader headed by him stood up and spoke. He rubbed his palms, looked at Liu Bei, and said cautiously, "Liu Yishi, what do you think of this? I'll collect the big and small eagles. The big eagle costs 120,000 to 30,000 yuan."

, Kitty Eagle is worth 30,000 to 40,000, even better..."

Just when the hawk dealer was searching for the price, the high-stakeholder on the side couldn't stand it any longer, "It's done!" The high-roller interrupted, he said jokingly, "Liu Yishi buys something from you, why don't you give me a discount?

"

Hearing this, the Eagle Trader looked embarrassed and embarrassed.

Liu Bei was keenly aware of the eagle dealer's embarrassment, and he said, "Things are rare and valuable. It is extremely difficult for falcons to catch them, so it is reasonable to be more expensive."

Haha! No need to discount, Your Majesty has rewarded me with a lot of money, even if I offer you a 100% price!"

Seeing Liu Bei's generosity, the hawk dealer immediately laughed, "That's it!" The hawk dealer pointed to several hawk cages at his feet, "My family has sixteen pairs of large and small eagles, and I'll charge 200,000 for one pair, totaling 320,000.

Ten thousand yuan, how about it?”

Liu Bei thought for a while. He was not thinking about the price, but whether the money was enough.

"Sure! Just three million and two million!" After thinking about it, he felt that the money was almost enough, so Liu Bei agreed neatly.

Thirty-two eagles were bought together, and Liu Bei ordered his entourage to take a large amount of money and brocade to offset the bill.

All the gifts given by Emperor Ling were extravagant. Liu Bei used more than half a cartload of the fine silks rewarded by Emperor Ling to pay off his debt, which caused quite a stir in the animal market.

After buying the eagle, Liu Bei also bought a lot of hounds. There were too many hounds in the market and it was hard to take them all away. As a last resort, Liu Bei only bought fifty of the best dogs. He was very pleased to see the puppies were chubby.

I also bought a few dogs.

The reason why Liu Bei suddenly decided to buy eagles and dogs on a large scale was because he thought of the "Animal Warfare". The so-called "Animal Warfare" refers to the use of the power of animals.

Buying a hawk is for high-altitude detection of enemies and hunting enemy homing pigeons, and buying a hound is for early warning.

In [Animal Warfare], there is also a tiger attack tactic. A ferocious tiger can frighten the enemy's cavalry. Liu Bei thought, Luoyang is the center of the world, where goods and materials gather from all directions, so there should be live tigers to buy. He asked around, and everyone said

There are tiger skins, but no live tigers. Some people say that there are rare birds and ferocious animals kept in Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Garden is a private hunting ground for the royal family. It is difficult to ask for royal belongings.

It was a pity that he could not buy a live tiger, so he settled for the next best thing. Liu Bei swept away the tiger and leopard skins in the market and swept the market. Liu Bei got three tiger skins and two leopard skins.

After getting the thing, Liu Bei was curious and wanted to try to see if the tiger skin was really as frightening to the war horse as the military adviser said. He took the tiger skin and shook it in front of the horse. Seeing the colorful tiger skin, the war horse became restless and wanted to run. Liu Bei

He smiled happily.

Liu Bei's squandering of the property rewarded by the emperor directly used up to seventy or eighty percent of it.

When Liu Bei was walking to the animal market, a wealthy customer was holding out a piece of purple silk and could not put it down, rubbing it back and forth. The silk was extremely exquisite and gorgeous, and it was a treasure that even the rich could not buy. The wealthy customer was extremely greedy.

Relying on the relationship with the hawk traders, the wealthy merchants negotiated hard and offered to buy all the silk. The hawk traders were just looking for money, and they would sell silk to anyone, so they naturally agreed.

[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】

According to the negotiated price, thirty-two eagles were sold for 3.2 million. Liu Xuande used part of his money plus a large amount of silk to pay for the money. After selling one hand, the wealthy man bought all the silk, and the eagle dealers had nearly four eagles in their hands.

Millions of dollars, which made the hawk dealers make a lot of money.

Liu Xuande led his entourage, who carried eagle cages and led dogs, and the group hurriedly left the city. Passers-by saw him and started talking about it. After a while, people with discerning opinions were heard saying that it was Liu Xuande who left the city.

Outside Luoyang City, in the Zhuozhou military camp, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who were wearing helmets and armors, stood at the gate of the camp with their arms folded. He looked into the distance with a serious face and did not move. During this period, he watched every day

That's right.

On the far road, a group of figures slowly appeared. Zhang Fei stood on tiptoe to look. When he saw the leader, a smile immediately appeared on Zhang Fei's face, "Hahahaha! Brother! You are back!" Zhang Fei

He laughed and ran towards Liu Bei.

When the two met, Zhang Fei first took a good look at Liu Bei. Seeing that Liu Bei was fine, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained, "Brother, you went to the city to eat and drink well, how could you forget me?"

Absolutely nothing, not even a reply to a letter!"

Liu Bei had not been heard from for almost a month after he entered the city. Now that he had seen him, Zhang Fei was full of blame.

Liu Bei had no choice but to apologize with a smile, "Oh! Don't blame me for your virtue! There are many state affairs and I have no time to leave the city!"

When he returned to the camp, Liu Bei returned to his home camp again after more than 20 days since he entered Luoyang City.

Entering the camp, Liu Bei saw at first glance that the camp was full of grass and looked like it had been neglected.

Seeing this, Liu Bei thought that Zhang Fei was neglecting military affairs. He talked to Zhang Fei for a while, and Zhang Fei listened silently.

After criticizing Zhang Fei, Liu Bei noticed something again. He looked around and saw that the camp was empty, with not many people in sight.

Liu Bei was immediately puzzled, "Second brother, where are our people?" Liu Bei turned to ask Zhang Fei.

"Oh! A certain person was sent out...to catch fish!" Zhang Fei prevaricated.

Now that the eldest brother has come back, Zhang Fei proposed to leave immediately.

Liu Bei had been working hard for many days and was exhausted physically and mentally. He originally wanted to rest for a day before leaving. Zhang Fei suggested leaving early in the name of insufficient military supplies. Liu Bei felt that it made sense, so he followed Zhang Fei's suggestion.

Zhang Fei avoided Liu Bei and secretly issued summoning orders to the rangers.

A ranger captain asked, "General, have everyone been recalled?"

Zhang Fei hesitated, frowned and thought for a moment. He thought that although his eldest brother had returned, there was still a long way to go before he could get out of the hinterland of Luoyang and escape safely. In case something happened along the way, he had to leave some manpower behind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei took out the map from his pocket and looked at it carefully.

On the map in Zhang Fei's hand, the map is centered on Luoyang. A circle of thirty miles around Luoyang is densely dotted with small dots one after another. Each of these dots is a weapon that is ready to go.

The coercion teams, these coercion teams were like a big net that surrounded the city of Luoyang without leaking anything.

Zhang Fei looked at the map carefully, frowned and thought, (The way back is to the north, so we will remove the manpower from the south, east, and west.)

After making up his mind, Zhang Fei ordered, "Don't move in the north, and withdraw in all other three directions!"

The knight took the order and left.

Later, Zhang Fei returned to the Chinese army's tent, and Liu Bei was also in the tent. The two people, who had not seen each other for a long time, supposedly had a lot to say, but Liu Bei sat in a daze and yawned again and again, and Zhang Fei even yawned.

Then there was a yawn, and the two of them looked as if they had gone to steal someone's cow last night.

The scout received the order to gather the scattered people and horses. The scout galloped for more than two miles to a mouth.

The intersection turned into a busy construction site. The road was dug in the middle, and a deep trench was dug across the road. On the trench, several long wooden boards were set up for pedestrians to pass. The trench was being dug.

At the same time, it does not affect traffic.

The intersection here has become a busy construction site. In addition to the Zhuozhou soldiers, there are also many nearby people helping with the work, so there is a ditch more than 40 feet long that cuts across the road.

The people nearby were deceived. They thought it was really road construction and came here to help. But in fact, once the war broke out, this long ditch dug in advance, combined with the formation of horses and vehicles, and the terrain, were enough to delay the advance.

Thousands of soldiers and horses.

The ranger found the centurion, pulled him aside, whispered a few words, and then hurried away.

After the knights left, the centurion found an excuse and secretly gathered his people. He said to the people who were helping to dig the road, "You guys go ahead and I'll go pull the stones. The stones will be pulled and spread out."

, the road is complete." After saying that, the centurion pulled the cart and drove away without looking back.

The people did not doubt his presence and were still working hard.

In another place, I rode to a narrow place deep in the forest. There were some soldiers in the forest who were sweating and cutting down firewood. In the forest, there were so many piles of chopped tree stumps that I couldn’t even count them.
