Chapter 8 Xiaomeng Taste in Zhuo County

After many years of living at the bottom of a place like Youzhou, Liu Bei has long since abandoned the modern civilized way of life, and has become more aboriginal and more vicious than the aboriginals.

After this battle, he gained his prestige, became the leader of the righteous, and became the new leader of the gang. Not only did he not let the gang collapse, but he also directly annexed the rival gangs and took over their sphere of influence.

After that, Liu Bei's gang directly controlled the street order in the entire eastern part of the county and became a serious street fighter.

At that time, the county government did not directly intervene in this matter.

Dead people are nothing for the county government to pay attention to. One day, if there are no dead people, it will be news.

The county magistrate at that time was also a drunkard. He liked to drink and didn't like to do things. Everything was handled by the local officials under him. The relationship between the major street gangs in the county and the county government has always been unclear.

After Liu Bei integrated the two major gangs, he eliminated the remaining victims who might sue, sent some things to the county government, and then asked Liu Bo to contact his acquaintances in the county government.

Acquaintances are also happy to relax.

He saw that Liu Bei did things beautifully, even the sufferer was killed, and he had no worries, so he swiped a pen and made a favor.

A total of eight members of the other party's leadership who were cut off, together with their relatives and other sufferers, all turned into refugees who starved to death, and the incident was over.

So skilled.

Seeing that they are so proficient in doing things, they don't care as much as eating and drinking. Liu Bei believes that if they are killed one day, they will also have no scruples and let themselves become the absurd "starved to death" in their writings. refugees".

It can only be said that human life is worthless these days, whether it is the enemy's or Liu Bei's own.

In the eyes of the government, and in the eyes of the gentlemen, that is a cheap life.

So Liu Bei finally achieved his goal of being the king of the streets, relying on his own bravery to become the king of Zhuo County. It is no longer a problem to control food, drink and eat meat, and no longer have to go hungry or cold.

This is the starting point for his rebirth to make a fortune after his rebirth at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It all depends on my own bravery and a little bit of cleverness.

However, if you want to change your fate against the sky just like this, to achieve the freedom of barbecue and spices, and become a local tyrant, it is still a lot worse. Bravery alone is not enough to change your fate against the sky. What happened later is really not a matter of courage It can be done.

Liu Bei is recalling here, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have brought Ji Jian over there.

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

Liu Bei nodded.

"Well, later, you go back to the stockade to rectify the big guys, and arm everyone who can fight, general mobilization, and go to Cheng Dazhi's stockade with me tomorrow to do business."

"Cheng Dazhi?"

Ji Jian asked curiously: "How dare that guy provoke you? And we don't need to mobilize to deal with that guy, right?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"He robbed a horse dealer's 20 horses and killed people. The horse dealer came to me and placed a deposit of [-] taels of gold, begging me to get his horse back, and take his money to kill people. Disaster, I have to take care of this matter.

And I heard from the dark thread that this guy was inexplicably related to Taipingdao. Last year, Taipingdao caused troubles in Jizhou again. Now, they have started looting horses again. If you connect the two things and think about it, is there something wrong? The place? "

Ji Jian took a deep breath.

"That guy wants to rebel?"

"It's hard to say, but it's no problem to make full preparations in advance."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Cheng Dazhi seems arrogant and unreasonable, but he is quite shrewd in his heart. There are not many people who can gain a firm foothold in Zhuo County for so many years. I don't want to capsize in the gutter."

After hearing this, Ji Jian nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I see, I will arrange the staff."

"Well, please."

Liu Bei patted Ji Jian on the shoulder and said, "No matter what this guy thinks, he will spit out these horses. Taiping Dao has power in Jizhou, but this is Youzhou, Zhuojun, and even more so." County, if I don't nod my head, they won't want to mess around."

Ji Jian nodded.

"only."

"Okay, let's go back and get ready."

Liu Bei smiled, and asked again: "Have you had a drink recently?"

When Ji Jian heard this, his body trembled, showing embarrassment.

"Never drank again."

"Well, that's right. Alcohol is a gut-piercing poison. When you shouldn't drink it, don't drink it."

"Never drink again, never drink again."

Ji Jian obviously has some psychological shadows about drinking, and when this topic is brought up, he feels uncomfortable.

Of course, this can't be blamed on others, but mainly on himself.

At that time, Ji Jian lost his morals after drinking, and did some stupid things. He almost molested a big girl in the village, and the person who tried to stop him beat him until he vomited blood.

Liu Bei was so angry that he went to the stockade himself, hung Ji Jian up at the entrance of the stockade, beat Ji Jian with a whip, and beat him until he couldn't get out of bed for more than half a month.

Since then, the village has been in order, and nothing like this has happened again. Ji Jian seems to have suffered from drinking PTSD because of this. Whenever he sees alcohol, he twitches all over his body. for a while.

This guy is good everywhere, loyal, obedient to orders, brave, and fearless of death. When Liu Bei gave an order, he pointed and hit him without frowning.

It's just that the wine is not good.

The so-called Jiangshan is easy to change and nature is hard to change. Liu Bei knew that it would be very difficult to make him correct, so he directly used physical means to force the correction.

Now Ji Jian is much better, he doesn't drink at all, and he doesn't get confused. He strictly abides by the rules and regulations set by Liu Bei, and dare not violate them.

Under Liu Bei's order, Ji Jian returned to the cottage to mobilize the young and strong to prepare for the battle.

Looking at his leaving back, Liu Bei was also quite emotional.

Ji Jian followed Liu Bei a long time ago, earlier than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei.

He was one of the first younger brothers who followed Liu Bei when Liu Bei joined the street gang at the age of 12 because he admired Liu Bei's unstoppable momentum in multiplayer sports. He was two years older than Liu Bei, but he admired Liu Bei's courage and desperate mad dog spirit , recognized him as a boss.

Later, more and more younger brothers followed Liu Bei, and the first batch of younger brothers was always Liu Bei's most important.

It's a pity that some of them were killed when they were fighting, some died of illnesses that could not be cured, and some were targeted by the government for committing crimes. Liu Bei couldn't offer a price that the government was satisfied with, so he could only let them leave their homes. Take shelter from the limelight and leave the main force.

Until now, Ji Jian was the only one of the first group of younger brothers who followed Liu Bei, so Liu Bei valued him very much and personally taught him reading and writing skills, and later taught Ji Jian some military skills learned by Gen Lu Zhi.

And because he was obedient and would carry out what Liu Bei said to the end, Liu Bei also handed over the management of the cottage to Ji Jian.

The Shanzhai was funded and built by Liu Bei. It was originally a refuge built specifically to accommodate refugees from various places in Zhuo County who could not survive due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Some locals had to flee famine because of the harsh government, and some foreigners had to flee because of natural disasters. Those who were lucky enough to survive to Zhuo County were all taken in by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also kind at the beginning, and wanted to give them a bowl of food.

The so-called seeing his life can't bear to see his death, Liu Bei, who has been drenched in the rain, seeing someone dying under the heavy rain, really can't get over the hurdle in his heart. After all, the traces of a civilized society cannot be completely erased in his heart.

Later, Liu Bei discovered that there were many young and middle-aged people in this group of refugees, so he wanted to recruit some young and middle-aged people to join the gang by the way to strengthen his own power.

But later, there were more and more people, so that Liu Bei had the title of Little Mengchang in Zhuo County, which aroused the uneasiness of the government-you were originally a street fighter, but now you take in so many refugees, why?
rebel?

At that time, Liu Bei was not the son-in-law of the prefect of Zhuo County, and the county magistrate of Zhuo County was not Gongsun Zan, so in order to deal with the suspicion of the Zhuo County government, he had to dismiss these refugees on the surface.

Of course, this is not a real severance, but just a show, and actually hides in the deep mountains and old forests farther from the county seat.

Because at that time Liu Bei heard about Zhang Jiao, a Taiping Taoist from Jizhou, making trouble in Jizhou.
