Chapter 622

He drank the fine wine in his cup and looked at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan shouted,

"Huang Gongfu, what are you doing? I am sincerely surrendering to Xuande; why are you causing trouble!"

Huang Gai hummed,

"The old lord was so domineering, and the former lord took Jiangdong with three thousand troops—how domineering was that? You? I spit on you! (agfh) You're not even as good as the son of Liu Jingsheng!"

Liu Bei's mouth twitched; Huang Gai could really act. Scolding his own lord like this, how would he want to mix in the future?

Sun Quan was indeed furious,

"Huang Gongfu, how dare you insult me like this?!"

Liu Bei also said,

"Huang Gai, Zhongmou is following the trend of Heaven and letting the people avoid the blades of war; are you still going to be stubborn?!"

Huang Gai hummed,

"I just don't accept it; if the old lord were here..."

Zhang Fei cursed,

"Huang Gai, you must be sick. Isn't it good for everyone to drink and chat happily? Why are you causing trouble? Come, come, let me spar with you!"

Huang Gai hummed again,

"I will not engage in a reckless fight with a brute!"

Sun Quan shouted,

"Come, drag Huang Gai down and give him thirty heavy boards!"

Chen Wu, Ling Cao, Zhu Huan, and others cupped their hands one after another,

"General Huang is just missing the old lord for a moment; please forgive him."

Liu Bei also said,

"Zhongmou, forget it; I think General Huang just can't accept it for a moment."

Sun Quan still wanted to say something, but who knew Huang Gai would pick up a wine cup and splash it on Sun Quan's face,

"Coward!"

Sun Quan couldn't hold it in anymore and ordered people to drag Huang Gai down, give him thirty boards, and then throw him out.

Everyone continued to drink; this scene made everyone believe even more that Sun Quan was sincerely surrendering.

The broadcast room barrage also increased a lot,

"Huang Gai is so old and still using the bitter-flesh trick; can't you change to another actor?"

"That's right, let Zhou Lang do it instead!"

"Huang Gai has thick skin and can withstand the beating."

"Look at my Brother Bei; he is also acting with Sun Quan. Who dares to say the ancients are stupid?"

"Is it just me who wants to see Sun Shangxiang?"

Liu Bei stood up tall,

"You all have doubts about me entering Jiangdong; starting today, the land tax in Jiangdong will be halved, Jiangdong merchants will enjoy the preferential policies of Guanzhong and Yizhou, and the soldiers' grain and pay will be tripled!"

Liu Bei also appointed quite a few Jiangdong noble clans as officials, basically achieving Jiangdong people governing Jiangdong.

Noble clans, landlords, merchants, people, and soldiers all received benefits.

Everyone bowed in submission,

"Xuande entering Jiangdong is the fortune of Jiangdong!"

Zhuge Jin felt a strange taste in his heart seeing this; for the people of Jiangdong, Liu Bei was much more suitable than Sun Quan!

Sun Quan's heart was about to twist; he looked at the noble clans and great generals who were toasting Liu Bei one after another, and he couldn't help but feel very discouraged.

Late at night,

Liu Bei sent everyone away,

and summoned Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, and others to discuss.

Lu Xun cupped his hands,

"My lord, I got news from the Lu family that old generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai oppose the surrender, Zhou Yu and General Ye are closing their doors to guests, and Zhu Zhi's attitude is unclear..."

Jiang Gan, a famous scholar from Jiujiang who Liu Bei had recently recruited, cupped his hands,

"My lord, I am an old friend of Zhou Yu; I am willing to go and persuade him to surrender."

Liu Bei nodded,

"That's fine; if you can persuade Zhou Yu, I will record a great merit for you."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Bei didn't know how Zhou Yu planned to fool this old classmate this time, so he simply let him go and test him.

"Jiang Gan is going to Zhou Lang's house; I will go to General Ye's house tonight."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up,

"My lord, I heard that this General Ye is heroic and spirited, looks extremely beautiful, and although she is a Hu person, her skin is as delicate as a Jiangnan woman's."

Liu Bei??

"I say Fengxiao, how do you know so much news? It seems nothing can be hidden from you when it comes to beauties."

He waved his hand,

"This General Ye has quite a reputation in Jiangdong; I am just going to pay a visit."

Everyone cupped their hands; a late-night visit—everyone understood.

The broadcast room exploded,

"Liu Bei is going to set his sights on Ye Huang?!"

"Brother Bei, I advise you to be kind and leave Ye Huang to me!"

"If I were Brother Bei, I would threaten her with the safety of the Sun family and make Ye Huang obediently listen and do whatever is asked."

"Scumbag above!"
