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

Chapter 98

Crows crow at dusk, like people weeping.

Under the city of Linzi, although Liu Bei repelled Xu He, he was not in a happy mood.

Xu He fled.

But under the city of Linzi, there were thousands of corpses left, including those with yellow scarves and state soldiers.

There are also tens of thousands of old and weak women and children suffering from hunger and cold.

These old and weak women and children didn't know where to go, their eyes were numb, and they were perplexed to die.

"Yun Chang, Ziyi, gather the villagers in the city in batches."

"Tell them that Linzi City will cook porridge for them later."

This is not the first time Liu Bei has implemented the plan to appease the Yellow Turban refugees.

With the experience of relocating more than [-] refugees outside the city, the resettlement of these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees will not make Liu Bei at a loss.

The eyes of Guan Yu and Tai Shici were also dignified.

Neither of them said much, and each went to appease the refugees.

"Send the state officials in Linzi City to meet me at the gate of the city!" Liu Bei did not enter the city, but directly sent people into the city to convey the order.

Outside the city of Linzi, crows and people are howling, and the tragic scenes in the troubled times make people cry.

In Linzi city, because the city gate was breached earlier, the scholars and common people in the city panicked.

Some rich and big households fled in panic through the east gate.

The rest of the common people prayed that the Yellow Turban bandits would not loot excessively after they entered the city.

The same is true for the state officials in Linzi City, who fled and hid.

There were not even ten state officials who came to see Liu Bei.

"Where do you work?" Liu Bei glanced at the state official who came, and couldn't help frowning.

In the past, Jiaohe hosted a banquet and introduced to Liu Bei the officials of the governor's office in Linzi City, such as Biejia engaged, Zhizhong engaged, Gongcao engaged, Book Cao engaged, Bing Cao engaged, Literature engaged, Wu Meng engaged, Postal Supervisor, Chief Bookkeeper Dozens of state officials, such as the governor under the account, the head of the gate pavilion, the secretary, and the planner.

But now, there are less than ten people here!
Among state officials such as Biejia, Zhizhong, Gongcao, and Bingcao, there is no one with high official positions.

A state official tremblingly said: "Don't drive out of the city."

"Going out of the city?" Liu Beirui narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the state official and asked, "But going out of the city to ask for help?"

State officials dare not speak.

Seeing the state official's reaction, Liu Bei understood what was going on.

But Liu Bei didn't ask any further questions, and his eyes fell on one of the state officials: "Bo Cao is doing it, and immediately organized manpower to transport the grain and rice to the west city, cook porridge and rice, and appease the refugees affected by the disaster."

Bo Caozheng was taken aback: "But they are all yellow scarves—"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei's scolding interrupted Bo Cao's doubts: "The yellow scarves have been repelled, and the people outside the city are only the victims of the disaster, and they can only be the victims of the disaster."

"If you don't understand, don't be a Bo Cao!"

Liu Bei had just returned from fighting on the battlefield, and the killing spirit on his body was already frightening.

There was another burst of scolding, Bao Cao was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, and took orders again and again.

Liu Bei also asked the remaining state officials to issue a list of documents to appease the scholars and people in Linzi City, and at the same time invited famous people in the city to help restore order.

A series of government orders were issued, and the fearful hearts of these state officials gradually became calm.

Soon.

Grain trucks gradually appeared outside the west city, and porridge sheds were built accordingly.

Because it was getting late, Liu Bei ordered a large number of bonfires to be lit for lighting.

And outside Linzi City, the numb and confused refugees gradually ignited hope.

There is no slogan that makes the refugees more excited than the porridge shed that can be seen directly in front of them.

"There is porridge and rice! Baby, hurry up, Niu, take care of your brother."

"Grandpa, it's porridge, it's porridge."

"Thank heaven, it must be heaven showing mercy to the world!"

"What heaven? That is the Lord of Benevolence and Pingyuan Prime Minister Xuande who settled more than [-] refugees in the Beihai Kingdom in the past!"

"Wherever Xuande goes, he will raise money and food to resettle the villagers. Whether it is the plain country or the Beihai country, the villagers who are in distress will be rescued."

"The heavens have mercy on the world, how fortunate it is for me to meet Mr. Xuande."

"."

Under the deliberate guidance of Guan Yu and Tai Shici, from the initial confusion and fear, these refugees gradually developed yearning for the future.

And titles such as "Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei" and "Renyi Xuande Gong" were also circulated among the refugees.

Although the cold winter is approaching, the cold wind in Linzi City at night is biting.

However, grain and rice were continuously transported outside the city, and the number of pots and stoves for cooking porridge and rice was gradually increasing.

And on the other side.

Xu He, who was defeated, was tired and hungry because it was too late to transport the food and grass.

Looking at the manor in front of him, Xu He's heart also became fierce.

"Damn Ren Yan, how dare you insult me!"

"Break into the manor and leave no one behind."

Thousands of yellow turban bandits entered Ren Yan's manor in Bochang County fiercely like a pack of wolves.

These yellow turban bandits who have been fighting and looting all year round are not merciful.

All of a sudden, Ren Yan's manor was filled with wailing.

The Ren family is from the rich family of Bochang, and the manor has a lot of money and food.

With money and food, Xu He's confidence gradually recovered, and he began to gather the old and weak women and children who followed.

It's not that Xu He is kind enough to help these old and weak women and children, but Xu He needs these old and weak women and children to cheer.

But Xu He didn't have the intention of putting away the porridge. He just announced the locations of several granaries where grain was stored and told the old and weak women and children who came with them to get them by themselves.

It was noon the next day.

This Bochang County once again gathered [-] to [-] yellow scarves.

however.

Good luck will not take care of Xu He because of this.

Before Xu He could figure out the way out, the Yellow Turbans who attacked the four cities of Gaowan, heard that Xu He was in Bochang County, and they flocked to him.

As soon as they saw Xu He, the defeated soldiers prostrated themselves and cried, "Shuai Qu, Le'an has sent an army of troops. They are so brave that we cannot resist them."

Xu He was taken aback: "Where did the soldiers and horses of Le'an come from?"

But soon, Xu He guessed the origin of this army.

"Leling City, it must be Leling City, the cavalry going south!" Xu He's eyes became gloomy again.

The attack on Linzi City failed, and several troops attacking the four cities of Gaowan were defeated by the officers and soldiers of Leling City. Xu He suddenly felt a serious crisis.

"The officers and soldiers of this Leling City must be related to Liu Bei."

"Damn Liu Bei, is this going to kill them all?"

Xu He secretly clenched his fists.

But the bad luck will not be reduced because of Xu He's anger, and the panicked Yellow Turban minions came to report one after another.

"Shuai Qu, a group of officers and soldiers came from Gao Wan's direction."

"Shuai Qu, the officers and soldiers of Linzi City are here to kill you."

"Marshal Qu, the officers and soldiers persuaded him to surrender."

"He's handsome."

Before the minion could finish speaking, Xu He shot directly, seeing the minion in front of him being stabbed through.

"Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

Facing Xu He's tyranny, the surrounding Yellow Turban leaders were terrified.

When Xu He was upset, outside Bochang County, Liu Bei stood at the crossing, waiting anxiously.

After entrusting the state officials to properly resettle the refugees outside Linzi City, Liu Bei left Tai Shici and Jian Yong to guard the city, and then drove troops to Bochang County with Guan Yu and Zheng Ping.

Prepare to make the final blow to Xu He.

After the deployment was completed, Liu Bei also received a summons from Lu Zhi, inviting Liu Bei to meet at this crossing.

Since the first battle against Zhang Jiao, Liu Bei hadn't met Lu Zhi much because of the ups and downs in their respective careers.

Now that Lu Zhi is willing to go south to help, Liu Bei can't hide his excitement.

"coming!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei's gaze froze.

Lu Zhi, dressed in armor and holding a long spear, was coming majestically under the flag erected in front of him.

"Master Lu!"

Liu Bei rode his horse forward excitedly, then got off his horse halfway, and stood with his hands folded.

Seeing Liu Bei's respect, Lu Zhi stroked his beard in relief.

Among the same batch of students, Liu Bei is by far the one who respects Lu Zhi the most.

Although Gongsun Zan was also quite polite to Lu Zhi, compared with Liu Bei's respect, Gongsun Zan valued Lu Zhi's reputation more.

Once it comes to key matters, Gongsun Zan will not pay attention to Lu Zhi.

Otherwise, with the relationship between Lu Zhi and Liu Yu, how could it be possible to sit back and ignore the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Because he knew Gongsun Zan's personality well, Lu Zhi knew that the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan was difficult to reconcile.

But Liu Bei in front of him is different.

Just asking Lu Zhi to go south to preside over the wedding as an elder shows Liu Bei's respect for Lu Zhi.

Now Liu Bei dismounted halfway and waited by the side of the road, this is to welcome Lu Zhi as a junior.

"Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, but you really impress me." Lu Zhi got off his horse and stepped forward to support Liu Bei.

Looking at Liu Bei's weather-beaten face that was older than his peers, Lu Zhi was filled with emotion.

Liu Bei's tone was even more humble: "Thanks to Master Lu's teachings in the past, students have today."

Lu Zhi laughed loudly, looking at Liu Bei with even more satisfaction.

While laughing, Zheng Ping, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu also approached.

Seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei felt happy immediately, and shouted as if showing off: "Big brother and second brother, I have good news for you all. I have joined Master Lu as well."

"From today onwards, elder brother and I are brothers and we are also from the same school."

"Second brother, hey, second brother, why are you turning your head around?"

If not for the presence of everyone, Guan Yu would have wanted to compete with Zhang Fei in martial arts.

Seeing this, Liu Bei reprimanded lightly: "Yide, Master Lu is here, don't be rude."

Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously, and directly pulled Guan Yu away: "Brother, you talk to Master Lu, and I'll catch up with my second brother."

Liu Bei was helpless, worried that Lu Zhi would think Zhang Fei was rude, so he quickly defended Zhang Fei: "Master Lu, Yide has not seen Yun Chang for a long time, and his words are somewhat rude, not from his heart."

Lu Zhi smiled lightly and said, "Xuande defended Yide. The old man saw that Yide was diligent and studious, so he asked him to worship him. This is Tian Yu, who has not yet reached the crown and has not taken his name. He was originally the cavalry uncle under Bogui's command. Chief, join Yide to worship under the old man's sect."

Tian Yu, who was on the side, was quite excited when he saw Lu Zhi introduce himself to Liu Bei.

Along the way, I also heard Zhang Fei often nagging about Liu Bei's benevolence and faith, and he had long admired Liu Bei.

"Tian Yu, from Yuyang, has met the Fujun."

Liu Bei understood Lu Zhi's meaning in an instant, and stepped forward to help Tian Yu, with a sincere and comfortable voice: "To win Master Lu's favor, he must be a rare talent in this world."

"I don't know who else is in my virtuous brother's family?"

Tian Yu felt Liu Bei's sincerity, and said truthfully, "I still have my mother at home."

Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly, "When Lingtang is at home, my virtuous brother came all the way to Qingzhou. Brother Yu feels guilty. When brother Yu is established in Qingzhou, virtuous brother can send Lingtang along with me, and I can also be with my mother."

Tian Yu was even more moved.

While Liu Bei was talking to Tian Yu, Zheng Ping stepped forward to salute Lu Zhi: "My nephew has seen my uncle!"

Lu Zhi brushed his short beard and looked at Zheng Ping with more complicated eyes: "I haven't seen Xianmou for more than a year since we left in Luoyang."

"I still remember that Xianmou asserted that Luoyang was a disaster that day, and asked the old man to persuade General He Jin not to call foreign generals into Luoyang."

"It's hateful! He Jin is a butcher. Although he is in a high position, he doesn't understand the general situation, so that Dong Thief caused chaos in the court. The young emperor was deposed and killed, and the young emperor was kidnapped and sent to Chang'an."

Zheng Ping's eyes were indifferent: "The power struggle in the imperial court has a long history. Whether it is Luoyang in the past or Chang'an today, it is nothing more than self-proclaimed loyalty fighting for power and profit."

Lu Zhi's eyes became deep: "Scheming and conceited of being a great talent, in the past he was unwilling to help the old man Qin Wang eliminate the thief in Luoyang, but now he helps Xuande gain a foothold in Qingzhou. Can you clear up the old man's doubts?"

When Zheng Ping traveled to Luoyang and asserted that Luoyang was a disaster, Lu Zhi wanted Zheng Ping to stay in Luoyang and fight against the king to eliminate thieves, but Zheng Ping refused on the grounds that "Luoyang is difficult to achieve a big event".

Seeing Zheng Ping again today, Lu Zhi felt emotional.

Zheng Ping restrained his face slightly: "In the past, Duke Xian of Jin was fatuous and innocent, and he loved Li Ji, and his ministers and ministers even fought against dissidents and framed each other, so that the court was chaotic, and the crown prince Shen Sheng died tragically for no reason. Only Chong'er escaped with his life."

"The way of helping and helping does not necessarily have to be above the court."

"If you stick to the place of the court, you can be a good strategy for the king to eliminate thieves, and you are nothing more than an assassin."

"But assassins and the like are just trails after all. If you are not careful, you will die and your family will be wiped out, which will only make the thieves laugh."

"Since the two emperors Huan and Ling, the emperor's principles have been lost, and the society has collapsed. First, there are ten regular servants who deceive the Lord and ignore him, and then there is the thief minister Dong Zhuo who has done many evils and is a big treason."

"If you want to help the Han Dynasty and serve the country and the people, you can only choose a wise lord to conquer the world's rebellion with military power."

Zheng Ping looked at Liu Bei who was chatting with Tian Yu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "After my nephew left Luoyang, he also went to Suanzao Camp and called on the heroes of the alliance."

"However, most of the heroes of the alliance are those who are chasing fame, and the few with great ambitions are either suspicious or indecisive. It is difficult for my nephew to confide in them."

"Just when my little nephew was feeling disheartened, he met Mr. Liu Fu, who was Gaotang's captain at the time, in Gaotang County."

"Hongya has faith and righteousness, a heart of benevolence without being pedantic, and has a relationship with my nephew. With such an outstanding person, my nephew will naturally pay more attention."

"After Mr. Liu Fu became Gao Tang Ling, he even traveled a thousand miles to Gao Mi to ask his nephew to become an official."

"Have great ambitions, respect the virtuous and the corporal, such a benevolent and loyal person, how can my nephew not do his best to help?"

After a pause, Zheng Ping expressed his admiration again: "Uncle also saw the situation in Qingzhou. Jiao He was so incompetent that the Yellow Turbans caused chaos in Qingzhou; but Mr. Liu was able to defeat the Yellow Turbans with bravery and help the refugees with benevolence."

"The only person in the world who can help the Han Dynasty is Liu Fujun!"
