Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 120 Raising troops to Yecheng, Guan Yu remains arrogant

The black bandits claim that there are millions of Tibetans, and they have a lot of demand for food.

In the seemingly affluent Jizhou, there are also many villagers who cannot bear the oppression and choose to attach themselves to the black bandits.

When the Heishan bandits are short of food, they will send troops to harass the neighboring counties.

Whether it is the Black Mountain bandit or the Changshan country's civilians, they are all fighting to survive.

Compared with the villagers who were incited in Qingzhou last year, the villagers in Heishan have existed since the first year of Zhongping.

The contradiction among them is difficult to solve by copying Qingzhou's method.

Liu Bei considered Zheng Ping's plan: "Xianmou, I will not be stingy with Nongshu and Quyuanli's manufacturing methods. But will the Black Mountain bandits really agree to negotiate a peace?"

Zheng Ping restrained his expression slightly: "Although the Black Mountain bandits claim to have millions of Tibetans and are powerful, their situation is far more difficult than outsiders can see."

"We want to solve the 50 hungry people in Qingzhou, and we have to collect food from neighboring counties, make promises to the rich and powerful families in Qingzhou, and resettle [-] hungry people into the East China Sea, etc."

"How can the black bandit be self-sufficient?"

"The agricultural book and the method of making Quyuanli are not only used for negotiating peace with the Black Mountain bandits, but also for Prime Minister Chang Shan to negotiate with the aristocratic families of Chang Shan Kingdom."

"A part of Qingzhou's governance law allows you to let Lieutenant Zhao take it back to Changshan Kingdom."

"Using multiple strategies together, even if it can't fundamentally solve the problem of Black Mountain bandits, it can also make the villagers on both sides suffer less."

"As long as Qingzhou has done its best and has no regrets!"

Although he was answering Liu Bei's question, Zheng Ping's words were actually meant for Zhao Yun.

Although Qingzhou cannot directly send troops to help Changshan Kingdom resist the Black Mountain bandits, it can use other methods to reduce the fighting between the two sides.

This is Qingzhou's benevolence and Qingzhou's righteousness!
When Zheng Ping gave Zhao Yun a rough account of the use of the agricultural book and Quyuanli, Zhao Yun was stunned.

Liu Bei gave away such precious books and farming tools as he said, without the slightest hesitation?

"Liu Shijun is benevolent and virtuous, and Yun admires it!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands, only admiring in his heart: "If we can successfully negotiate a peace with the Black Mountain Bandit and ensure that the people of Changshan Kingdom will not be harassed by the Black Mountain Bandit for a while, even if Yun is single-handed, I will also help Lu Shangshu to attack Dong Zhuo!"

Liu Bei laughed, and immediately wanted to host a banquet in honor of Zhao Yun.

But Zhao Yun hoped to return to his command as soon as possible, so he declined the banquet.

Liu Bei didn't persuade much, and prepared a three-point annotated version of "Book of Si Sheng", "Si Min Yue Ling" and Qu Yuanli's manufacturing method printed by Zuo Bozhi, packed them in a back box, and asked Zhao Yun to take them away.

Looking at the back of Zhao Yun's departure, Liu Bei couldn't let go: "Zhao Zilong from Changshan is really a brave man! Such a talented man, if he can come to Qingzhou, it must be the blessing of Qingzhou and the luck of the Han Dynasty!"

Although it was the first time I met Zhao Yun and we didn't talk much, Liu Bei already had a rough judgment on Zhao Yun's words and deeds.

Coupled with Zheng Ping's praise, Liu Bei had a strong sense of reluctance to Zhao Yun, and wished he could have a long talk with him.

"You don't have to be impatient, what should come will always come." Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, speaking confidently and naturally: "Zhongwei Zhao has the people in his heart, and the lord is benevolent and loves the people. Jizhou will change in the future. I will come to envoy you."

"It's just that once Yunchang leaves, Pingyuan needs to be able to garrison."

"You can adjust Yide and Zhang Hong to Pingyuan, and then adjust Xianhe to Donglai County, temporarily acting as the prefect of Donglai County."

Liu Bei nodded, agreed with Zheng Ping's deployment, and said: "Zibu said that there are a few talents in the official school, and I suggest that I transfer them to various counties and counties to study practical work, and then return to the school."

Zheng Ping thought for a while: "Let Ah Jin go to Jinan Kingdom to temporarily act as Prime Minister of Jinan Kingdom; then put Lu Su under Ziyi's command and learn to command the army from Ziyi."

"The rest, stay in the school for now."

Zhuge Jin and Lu Su are currently the two best in official schools.

One is good at government affairs and the other is good at military strategy, but both of them are stronger in theory than in practice.

Going out to practice for a while and then coming back will allow the two of them to have a deeper understanding of government affairs and military strategy.

Relevant decrees will be issued soon.

As the governor of Qingzhou, Liu Bei has very little leisure time on weekdays.

He was busy until dark, before Liu Bei finished his official duties.

This is the official document that needs to be reviewed by Liu Bei after being approved by Zhang Zhao, Zhao Yu, Liu Hui, and Zheng Ping.

Otherwise, even if Liu Bei stays up all night, he won't be able to finish it.

Dragging his tired body, as soon as Liu Bei returned to the inner courtyard, he didn't even have time to wash up, so he fell asleep directly.

When Guo Zhao arrived, Liu Bei was already breathing heavily.

"Alas~" Guo Zhao sighed softly, took off Liu Bei's shoes and socks, asked someone to call hot water, carefully wiped Liu Bei, and then covered Liu Bei with a quilt, then quietly walked out of the room and let the maid Do not disturb inside.

As Liu Bei's official wife, Guo Zhao has a lot of things to do.

Liu Bei is now the governor of Qingzhou, not an ordinary man, so Guo Zhao has to manage not only Liu Bei's internal affairs, but also condolences for Liu Bei's trusted civil and military family members.

After all, these people all worked for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei gave Guo Zhao enough respect, and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's foster brother, even specially found ambergris.Naturally, Guo Zhao also took the initiative to condolences to the civil and military families.

Although Guo Zhao has only come to Zicheng for a few days, Guo Zhao has already visited more than a dozen of the civil and military families in Qingzhou.

Gui, the daughter of the princess, the niece of Emperor Huan and Prince Yuan, and the wife of the governor of Qingzhou, would actually greet her with gifts in person.

How can this not move these civil and military family members?

And Guo Zhao also knows how to measure, every time he goes to condolences to the family members of civil and military, he will use Liu Bei's name!
Truly tell these civil and military family members that because Liu Bei is busy with official duties and it is difficult to come in person, she, the wife of the governor of Qingzhou, came to condolences.

As the saying goes: If there is a good wife in the family, a man will not be raped.

Guo Zhao's words and deeds also made Liu Bei respect him even more.

After Liu Bei was settled, Guo Zhao ordered the maid beside him: "Xiaodie, send the letter sent by the entrusted daughter of Confucius in Ju County to Biejia Mansion immediately."

Mentioning this, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Zhao's mouth.

After learning that Zheng Ping postponed his marriage for three years, Guo Zhao has been thinking about how to win over Zheng Ping for Liu Bei.

After all, Zheng Ping has always called Liu Bei envoy, which made Guo Zhao feel a little uncertain.

Addressing him as envoy means that Zheng Ping can leave Qingzhou at any time!

then.

Guo Zhao sent someone to visit Ju County, and gave Kong Su an idea, so that if Kong Su had any thoughts of missing him, he could put it on the letter paper.

In the Han Dynasty, there were also letters expressing longing, but most of them were married men and women.

It was embarrassing for Kong Su to write a love letter before he was married.

But the maid Guo Zhao sent was also eloquent, and soon convinced Kong Su, and the book of longing was directly sent to Guo Zhao.

"Mr. Xianmou is not a person who sticks to common etiquette. As long as few people know about this, Mr. Xianmou will definitely accept it." There is also wisdom in Guo Zhao's beautiful eyes.

Xiaodie was ordered to come to Biejia Mansion, and only said that Guo Zhao thanked Zheng Ping for Liu Bei's hard work, and specially brought some special products from Ju County.

As soon as he saw the letter in the box, Zheng Ping understood what Guo Zhao meant.

"Please tell Mrs. Guo that I and the envoy are friends of gentlemen and friends. I will accept this letter." Zheng Ping accepted Guo Zhao's kindness.

Since Guo Zhao delivered wine to Zhang Fei, Zheng Ping knew that Guo Zhao had a high EQ and knew how to get the support of Liu Bei's civil and martial arts.

Now that the goodwill is released, but it is just right, Zheng Ping will naturally not refuse.

after all.

This is from the letter of Kong Su in Ju County, Zheng Ping is very happy to see it.

Because of some customs of this era, Zheng Ping was almost unable to communicate with Kong Su too much in the past three years.

A courtesy is a courtesy, even if you think it is cumbersome, you have to respect it.

At least on the surface, you have to respect it!

This is also the reason why Jian Yong is often scolded as a disrespectful person.

But in private, Zheng Ping is unwilling to be bound by some cumbersome customs.

Anyway, they are all my future wives, so it is reasonable to express my heartfelt heartfelt letters.

Kong Su's handwriting is simple and elegant, and the content is also very cryptic.

Although it is said to be a book of longing, the content is actually just a copy of a poem from the Book of Songs.

Apparently, this was the first time that Kong Su was sending a letter, and he was also afraid of being discovered and accused of being rude.

Immediately.

Zheng Ping also wrote Fu, in which he also expressed the vague meaning of longing.

But Zheng Ping did not send it out through the governor's office, but asked his cronies to send it to Ju County.

Accepting goodwill is to reassure Guo Zhao and avoid Guo Zhao's bad things about his pillow.

The purpose of sending his cronies is to let Guo Zhao understand who exactly Zheng Ping is working for.

the other side.

Guan Yu, who received the order, immediately mobilized [-] cavalry to go to Yecheng.

As long as it is Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu will carry it out.

Not to mention just going to Yecheng to wait for orders, even if these five hundred cavalry were to take Yecheng, Guan Yu would not frown.

"Master Lu, brother has an order, Guan must take the lead to go to Yecheng."

"The rest of the matter, brother will explain to Master Lu."

Guan Yu did not forget to explain to Lu Zhi.

After all, he was originally going to Luoyang to respond to Zhu Jun, but now he has to go to Yecheng again.

Lu Zhi nodded: "Yun Chang went on his own. When Xuande comes, the old man will personally ask why."

Immediately.

Guan Yu commanded [-] cavalrymen and headed for Yecheng with only dry food.

Pingyuan State is adjacent to Wei County, and the movement of the five hundred cavalry is not small.

Soon, the news was learned by Bao Xin from Dongwuyang.

"Not long after Meng De left, Guan Yu sent troops to Wei County. How could he be so fast?" Bao Xin was amazed.

But thinking of Cao Cao's instructions before he left, Bao Xin did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to inform Cao Cao.

Simultaneously.

Bao Xin also drove his troops out of Dongwuyang, blocking Guan Yu on the official road.

"Who dares to trespass in Wei County!" Bao Xin immediately asked knowingly.

When Guan Yu saw someone blocking the way, Dan Feng narrowed his eyes, and his arrogance was undisguised: "Under the governor of Qingzhou, Pingyuan Xiangyu was ordered to go to Yecheng."

Bao Xin secretly thought something was wrong, he waved his knife and asked, "Whose order? I have not received the relevant military order."

"Who are you?" Guan Yu squinted and asked.

Bao Xin said in a concentrated voice: "Bao Xin, the general who broke the prisoner!"

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "So it's you! Sir, you said that General Polu was appointed by Yuan Shao, and was not appointed by the emperor. In other words, General Polu is just a false post."

"It's a fake job, and it's not an official of Wei County. How dare you stop Guan?"

Bao Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then he was a little annoyed: "I'm a fake job. Did you, Prime Minister Ping Yuan, have been appointed by imperial edict?"

Guan Yu sneered: "Since everyone is fake, what right do you have to stop me? If you don't leave, don't blame Guan for being ruthless!"

Bao Xin was dumbfounded.

Can a pseudo-job speak so confidently?

Glancing at Guan Yu's five hundred cavalry, Bao Xin felt a little guilty.

The soldiers and horses in Dongwuyang are basically new recruits.

Fighting bandits is okay, but Bao Xin can't stop Guan Yu's cavalry.

I thought Guan Yu would be more polite and Bao Xin could delay the time, but Guan Yu didn't save Bao Xin any face.

"hateful!"

Bao Xin stepped out of the way.

Looking at Guan Yu's formation, if he doesn't give way, it is really possible to charge directly.

When Bao Xin died, there was no reason for him.

after all.

A puppet general of Pingyuan encountered a puppet general blocking the way on the march, and the conflict was defined as a fight at most.

"Send someone to inform Benchu ​​immediately."

"It was guessed by Meng De that Liu Bei actually intervened in the fight between Ben Chu and Han Fu."

Bao Xin felt a burst of worry.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses came too fast!

It was as if he had guessed that Yuan Shao would send troops to question Han Fu.

Guan Yu came so fast that before Tian Feng left Wei County, Guan Yu was the first to encounter the car battle between Tian Feng and Liu Hui's family.

But five hundred cavalry roared past, Guan Yu didn't meet Tian Feng, after all, they didn't know each other.

Arrived at the foot of Yecheng.

Guan Yu camped directly fifty miles away from Yecheng and raised a banner.

Han Fu in the city was almost fainted by the sudden appearance of Guan Yu, and quickly summoned Jushou to inquire about countermeasures: "Don't drive, didn't you say that Liu Bei will help me?"

"Before Tian Feng arrived in Qingzhou, Guan Yu had already arrived in Yecheng."

"Do you dare to say that Liu Bei didn't respond to Yuan Shao's call to rob the old man of Jizhou?"

Ju Shou was also taken aback by Guan Yu's sudden arrival: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Guan Yu camped fifty miles away from the city, not necessarily responding to Yuan Shao."

"Zhu Jun sent a letter to the envoy a few days ago, hoping that the envoy can attack Dong Zhuo again."

"I heard that Guan Yu is Lu Zhi's disciple again. Could it be that he came to Yecheng on the way to respond to Zhu Jun?"

Han Fu's panic dissipated a lot, and he said nervously, "Don't drive out of the city to ask?"

Ju Shou secretly despised Han Fu for a while, but he did have doubts in his heart, so he rode out of the city to meet Guan Yu.

Seeing that it was Jushou who came, Guan Yu also gave Jushou basic respect.

After all, Liu Hui was recommended by Jushou, and Guan Yu had to respect Liu Hui more or less for Liu Hui's sake.

"Ju Bie came to my camp, do you have something important to discuss?" Guan Yu squinted his Danfeng eyes and asked knowingly.

Ju Shou couldn't figure out what Guan Yu was thinking, so he asked tentatively, "Mr. Guan, have you ever encountered Tian Feng and Zi Huigong's family car battle?"

"Huh?" Guan Yu thought of the car battle passing by on the official road, and said calmly: "Maybe I encountered it, but I didn't stop to ask."
