As for Lu Su, he was currently staring at Qin Feng without blinking, with an expression of extreme interest.
Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled and said," I forgot to introduce you. This is Qin Feng, Qin Wenxuan. He is my military advisor."”
Immediately, Liu Bei enthusiastically took Qin Feng's hand, his face full of smiles.
"Oh, you're Qin Wenxuan, the military counselor who made refined salt?”
Mei Zhu's eyes widened in shock.
"Haha, that's me."
Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Zijing greets the Qin army. I just came from Changsha and heard Wen Taigong say that if it wasn't for you, he would have been ambushed by Liu Biao.”
Lu Su's gaze as he looked at Qin Feng clearly carried a solemn expression.
"Haha, Brother Zijing, this is just a small matter.”
Qin Feng's heart slightly froze. Could it be that Lu Su had already defected to Sun Jian? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible.
However, it was not convenient to ask in detail under such circumstances.
"Haha, the three of you are all elites of a region. If you are too polite, you will seem like an outsider. Come, come, come, please sit inside.”
Liu Bei smiled and invited Mi Zhu and Lu Su into the government office.
Immediately, Liu Bei ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet and ordered people to summon Guan Yu and Zhao Yun back.
Half an incense's time later, the two sides of the banquet were separated.
Liu Bei sat at the head of the table, with Lu Su and Mi Zhu on his left.
On the right were Qin Feng, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and the other five.
In ancient times, the left hand was the greatest. Now, Liu Bei had arranged for Mi Zhu and Lu Su to be on the left. This was considered a special courtesy.
At first, Mi Zhu and Lu Su humbly refused to sit down, but in the end, Liu Bei forcefully pulled them back to appease them.
Since the host was polite, the guests were naturally very happy.
During the banquet, everyone was discussing the situation of the world freely.
Among them, Mei Zhu was the most excited.
He was summoned by a letter from Sun Qian.
In the letter, Sun Qian recounted Qin Feng's words about salt in detail.
After Mei Zhu read the letter, he was immediately moved and rushed to Hanzhong County's Nanjiang County.
On the way, he met Lu Su, who was traveling along the Nan River. The two of them went together and met Sun Qian.
When the two of them entered the territory of Nan Jiang County, they were immediately shocked by the bustling scene of Nan Jiang County.
In the wilderness, they saw people farming everywhere.
He also saw the mysterious watering carts that were being built.
He also saw the small and practical, magical curved shaft plow that could be called the country's important weapon.
After arriving in the city, the two of them were even more shocked by the bustling city defense construction site.
Groups of refugees were busy working at various construction sites. It was obvious that although they were working hard, they all had happy expressions on their faces.
After asking Sun Qian, the two of them found out that Liu Bei gave each of these refugees three catties of food per day.
It was a full three catties. It was enough to fill the family's stomachs.
Such a benevolent policy could be said to be the only policy to love the people in this war-torn era.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.
Mei Zhu's face was flushed red.
He said in a loud voice," Gongyou has already told me about the refined salt. I think this is a good thing. Zizhong is not talented. I am willing to help you manage this matter. It should also be for the well-being of the people of the world."”
"Haha, although Zizhong is a merchant, he loves the people. If you don't mind, I would like to invite Zizhong to be a military commander.”
Liu Bei followed Qin Feng's instructions and immediately sent an invitation to Mi Zhu.
As expected, Mi Zhu was shocked.
He opened his mouth and only came back to his senses after a long time. He said in surprise,"Duke Xuande, are you planning to take up the post of commander in Hanzhong?”
Mei Zhu had never thought about Liu Bei's invitation.
Right now, Liu Bei was living under someone else's roof. Hanzhong Prefecture was under the control of Governor Su Gu, and above him was Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.
Liu Bei dared to appoint him as the commander?
Could it be that he wanted to occupy Hanzhong and become independent?
Mi Zhu was not a fool. He immediately thought of a series of possibilities.
"Sigh, I'm not afraid of Zizhong laughing at me. Ever since I started the army to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits for more than ten years, I've been wandering around and achieved nothing. Now that I've obtained Military Advisor Wen Xuan, I'm ready to take root in this Nan River.
From then on, he would not go anywhere and would focus on doing something for the people. In addition, I plan to write to the court at the end of the year to ask the Han Emperor to confer me the title of Hanzhong Prefecture.”
Liu Bei paused for a moment and glanced at Qin Feng before saying faintly,"
"Zizhong must have heard that I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and the imperial uncle of the current emperor. I think the emperor will agree to my request on account of the fact that we are both relatives of the Han clan.”
Liu Bei said all of this in one breath with a red face. After he finished speaking, in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly raised his wine glass and drank with everyone.
Qin Feng had asked Liu Bei to say this.
In the beginning, Liu Bei was very unwilling, saying that this was a little like deceiving Mi Zhu and Lu Su.
However, Qin Feng used his glib tongue to instigate Liu Bei.
If he wanted talent, if he wanted money, then he could say that. If he didn't want it, then forget it.
Qin Feng also said that they would be taking over Hanzhong in half a year anyway. By then, wouldn't the outcome be the same? How could he be lying?
In the end, in order to achieve his goals and dreams, Liu Bei was completely led astray by Qin Feng.
Thus, Liu Bei transformed into the Great Hoodwinker and began to hoodwink Mi Zhu and Lu Su.
