Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 103, The Red Rabbit in the Horse

"In response to Tian's favorable timing, Liu Bei, the governor of Bingzhou, has been diligent and self-denial and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats since he took office. He first quelled the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the Huns in the south were in civil strife, and the Huns in the north attacked the barbarians. I am very pleased."

"Now, I will confer the title of "Marquis of Jinyang" and reward twenty beauties...one thousand-mile horse."

In Jinyang City, Zuo Feng was reading the emperor's edict, while Liu Bei led a group of civil and military officials to bow their heads and listen.

In addition to Liu Bei being granted the title of Marquis, Guo Jia and other civil and military officials were also promoted to noble ranks.

When he heard the last sentence, Liu Bei frowned slightly. Looking back, he saw that Guan Yu and others were full of expectation. If he hadn't been worried that the angel was still there, he would have already asked for the BMW.

The emperor gave him the BMW with good intentions, but he accidentally posed a problem to him!

As the ancients said, BMW gives gifts to heroes.

There is also a saying that "a thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist."

What general doesn't like a good war horse?

Especially for warriors who are skilled in martial arts and like to charge into battle, a thousand-mile horse is even more attractive than a peerless beauty.

Guo Jia is also considering this issue, as this is no longer just a matter of a horse, but about the balance of generals.

Zhang Fei has already won the Iron Buddha Tu, so this horse is probably no longer with him.

Gao Shunyuan was at Yanmen Pass and would not participate in this competition, so there were only three final candidates, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao.

But when it comes to meritorious service, the biggest competitors should be Guan Yu and Lu Bu. In comparison, Zhang Liao's competitive spirit is not that strong.

As for why Liu Bei didn't keep it for himself, it was because he already had an ancestral "Delu".

At this time, Zuo Feng had finished reading the emperor's edict and said with a smile: "We are here to congratulate the Marquis of Jinyang. Your Majesty is very satisfied with what you have done in Bingzhou and asked us to tell you something."

"The angel said it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty's original words are: Brother Xuande, just feel free to do it, I will take care of the affairs of the capital for you."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. This cheap "royal brother" really treated him badly.

"Please also ask the angel to convey a message to the emperor on behalf of Liu Bei."

"Master Hou, it's okay to say so."

"Liu Bei's promise has not changed to this day. Holding the sword of the Han Dynasty, he will sweep away tigers and wolves in all directions."

"Our family understands and will help the Marquis to tell His Majesty."

Liu Bei then waved his hand, and an attendant came in with a box.

"The angel has been tired all the way and can't bear it, so he would like to offer you some "tea money"."

Although it is no longer necessary to buy an official position, it is always beneficial and harmless to make friends with close ministers of the emperor like Zuo Feng. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial details, let alone a little money.

Even if the other party doesn't speak for him after being paid, at least he won't say bad things about him.

"How could this happen?" Zuo Feng pretended to be frightened, but his eyes glanced at the box from time to time, showing his greedy nature.

Although the bribe this time was not as good as Zhang Fei's family wealth, it was still quite generous.

Liu Bei said sternly: "The support is unforgettable. Is it because the angel refuses to accept it because it is too little?"

"Of course not."

Zuo Feng glanced at everyone and knew that these people should be Liu Bei's confidants. He no longer had any scruples and ordered the little eunuch on the side to accept them. Then he walked over to Liu Bei and whispered something in his ear.

Liu Bei was smiling and his eyes were shining.

After a while, Zuo Feng left,

Liu Bei looked around at everyone and sighed: "Do you know why I want to join the eunuchs?"

Everyone was silent, maybe because they didn't know, or maybe they knew, but they were hesitant in their hearts and didn't want to say it.

"Because it is precisely this kind of eunuch with a low official position that may affect the official positions of this prince and you."

Today, Tianzi is not ignorant, at least he knows how to use the eunuch group to check and balance the family, so that the court will not be dominated by one family.

But precisely because he doted on the eunuch, if he wanted to gain his trust, he had to get close to the eunuch. Even though the emperor valued him very much now, Liu Bei did not want to cause trouble. After all, the eunuch's slander was almost the same as his pillow talk.

However, he soon discovered that his explanation was completely redundant.

As for the civil servants, Guo Jia and Xun Yu had already seen through everything. Even these things were planned by them, so they would naturally not have any objections.

Jian Yong and Mi Zhu both saw the importance of winning over eunuchs and had no objections.

As for the generals, it seems that they have been distracted by the thousand-mile horse, so they can no longer care about this aspect.

Lu Bu was the first to lose control and strode out of the queue, bowing and saying: "If my lord can give this thousand-mile horse to the general, I will die to repay you."

Guan Yu also came out and said: "A certain sword technique is extremely powerful, but ordinary war horses cannot fight for a long time."

Zhang Liao thought for a while, but in the end he didn't open his mouth to fight for it, because he felt that his military exploits were not as good as those of these two, and his chances of success were not great.

And since war horses were involved, the next step was likely to be a battle of martial arts, and he knew that he was no match for the two of them.

It was rare that Zhang Fei didn't join in the fun, maybe because he felt that he had already won the Iron Buddha Tu, and there was no chance of fighting for it anymore. He couldn't hand over the Iron Buddha Tu for a horse, right?

Bingzhou is located on the border, and there is actually no shortage of good horses that can travel eight hundred miles a day. However, compared with the king of horses who can travel a thousand miles a day, there is still a gap in speed and endurance.

The most important thing is that the horse king is psychic and can often cooperate tacitly with his master.

Guo Jia raised his head and saw Liu Bei looking for help. It was obvious that it was difficult for him to make a decision on this matter.

If he followed his heart, he would naturally want to give the Red Rabbit Horse to Guan Yu. After all, this is his sworn brother. In his previous life, he did not hesitate to give up Cao Cao's favor and reunite with him in the future after passing five levels and defeating six.

But if we look at the overall situation, this horse should be given to Lu Bu for the sake of balance.

Because Zhang Fei had already obtained the Iron Buddha Tu before, if he also gave the red rabbit and horse to Guan Yu, new generals such as Lu Bu would feel that Liu Bei only treated his own brothers favorably, thus creating a gap.

The most important thing is that Lu Bu is a rebellious tiger. If he can't win his heart, he may cause hidden dangers.

Guo Jia nodded slightly and then stepped out of the queue.

"My lord, since both generals want this thousand-mile horse, why not fight to determine the outcome?"

These words were instantly recognized by Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

If you are not as skilled as others, you will be willing to lose.

Liu Bei also felt that this was a good idea, but he still had concerns in his heart.

Whether it is Guan Yu or Lu Bu, they are both top-notch generals in the world. Even if they are superior to each other, the gap is definitely very small.

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured or even "dead".

Just listen to Guo Jia continue to say: "But in order to avoid hurting the harmony of our family, this competition should be stopped. How about this, the two generals will only fight a hundred moves, and in the end, the lord will decide who is better, how about it?"

"The general will have no objections."
