Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 72 The Assassin (for further reading)

Facing the order sent by Yuan Kai, Xu You took two steps:
The first step is to bribe Huangfusong's people and remind him that he can call Liu Bei to help fight the Liangzhou rebellion.

This is the easiest step, after all, it's not about letting them betray, just take the time to mention a few words.

The second step is to find the poor guy who lost his official position because of Liu Bei's disturbance this time, preferably from the eunuch party.

Tell him the whole story, implying that he sent someone to assassinate Liu Bei.

Things exposed?What does that have to do with Yuan Shi or Xu You?
It was a scholar named 'Judd' who 'accidentally' met an official who had lost his official position, congenially invited him to drink a few drinks, and after learning about his situation, he 'kindly' reminded him a few words.

"It's unreasonable! It's really unreasonable!" Liu Jing, the prefect of Anping County, returned to the mansion, and immediately began to curse.

At the beginning of the year, Anping King Liu Xu was convicted and killed, and Anping Kingdom became Anping County. He spent 2000 million yuan to buy the post of prefect.

As soon as he took office, he found that the livelihood of the people in the county was dying, mainly a large number of refugees, and there was no extra money and food for resettlement.

When he was worried about what to do, Juncheng gave him an idea, the Hejian Kingdom next door recruited refugees, or should they drive them over?

Someone was being taken advantage of, Liu Jing immediately ordered that all the counties drive the refugees towards Hejian Kingdom.

Others are secretive, and at most send people to tell the refugees that instead of queuing here, it is better to try their luck in the Hejian Kingdom.

A fool like Liu Jing who blatantly drives people away will naturally bear the brunt of being dismissed.

Seeing that the 2000 million yuan was in vain, Liu Jing realized that this official position is not an iron rice bowl, and even if he can go up, he can also come down!

After spending a few days drinking away his sorrows, he found out by chance that it was Liu Bei who made a fuss and the court had to take action.

If you say you have no skills, then why take in so many refugees?
You are allowed to take it in, but I am not allowed to rush over?It's not just me rushing!

With 2000 million yuan, no matter how rich Liu Jing is, he will still be hurt.

In anger, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to call five retainers, and asked them to come forward to assassinate Liu Bei at a price of five thousand guan.

The source of income for rangers these days is nothing more than hunting, caravan guards, courtyard guards, family generals, and retainers.

These are still within the legal scope, such as robbing the rich and giving to the poor, stealing chickens and dogs, and hiring people to kill others.

Liu Jing is not a good bird, and the main purpose of raising diners is to do something shameful for himself.

It was not the first time for the five of them to make a move. Seeing that there were actually five thousand guan this time, they immediately agreed.

That night, they set off for Lecheng and arrived in less than two days.

It can't be said that you can assassinate just after you come. First of all, of course, you have to step on the spot to find out what Liu Bei looks like, what his itinerary and habits are like.

The main thing is how many guards are around and how powerful they are.

"Brother!" The five came to the restaurant and found several local rangers.

It's very easy to find Rangers, you can find them in similar places, such as restaurants.

From time to time, there will be a few rangers waiting for their employers, or exchanging information here.

The leader took out ten Wen and pushed it over: "How is Xiang Hejian?"

"I warn you, don't try to get the prime minister's idea, otherwise we won't let you go!" Who knew that the other party would not accept it at all, but the rangers around them glared at the five people.

"I have something to say, but I just came here. I heard that the Prime Minister has taken in a large number of refugees. I'm a little curious." Seeing that the four partners were about to make a move, the leader quickly stood up and confessed.

"The Prime Minister of the State is a good man..." The ranger on the opposite side took the money away. "Some rangers who came to Youzhou recognize him. If they are down and out and have no troubles, as long as they come to the door, he will help some. This time as the Prime Minister of Hejian, he chooses to take in the refugees who are shunned by the surrounding counties."

Especially not long ago, they also spent a lot of money to subsidize the poor knights and scholars in the Hejian Kingdom.

Speaking of those who are here, seven or eight out of ten have received the favor of the Prime Minister directly or indirectly.

It's rare that he doesn't have any airs, unlike other wealthy families who use it for use, but look down on themselves.

Everyone drank and chatted together, and I just felt warm in my heart.

If it wasn't for committing crimes or not having enough to eat, who would want to be a ranger?
Those who have left their hometowns will cover up when they return home, for fear of seeing the township party...

To be seen as a human being, for many rangers, this has been a long time ago.

"Oh?" The five people came from Jingzhou. They didn't know the situation in Youzhou. They heard that Liu Bei's reputation was not bad, so they got a little tangled up.

Especially the ranger who is the leader, is getting tangled up at the moment.

Killing Liu Bei can earn [-] guan, but if it makes it more difficult for the ranger in Hebei to get along, that is indeed not kind.

While talking, Liu Bei came in and brought Guan Yu and Tai Shici over for a drink.

Zhang Fei led the army to inspect the counties, mainly to prevent anyone from being paid empty-handed and abusing those refugees and members of the reclamation corps.

The New Deal created by my younger brother cannot tolerate artificial sabotage.

Needless to say, Zhang He was ordered to read a book in the study, which was a rare day to take a rest.

The three of Liu Bei didn't know that at this moment Zhang He looked at the 18 characters and nearly [-] volumes of bamboo slips in front of him, wanting to cry without tears.

They are all augmented and expanded from the "Spring and Autumn Classics". "Zuo Shi" is Zhennengshui, expanded from 18 to [-] characters!
"Shopkeeper, bring up all the wine and meat!" Liu Bei didn't care about that, the fifth younger brother can listen to the teaching and study hard, that's a good thing, and it's worth celebrating.

No, bring Yun Chang and Zi Yi over for a drink.

After a quick glance, almost all the guests today are rangers, so he added: "I'll serve wine and meat to everyone, and I'll treat you!"

"Xie Guoxiang!" Everyone stood up to thank them, and the five people who came to assassinate, led by the leader of the ranger, also stood up to thank them.

"Do you want to do it?" one of them asked in a low voice.

The people are here, and there are no guards, just two strong men, and they can flee thousands of miles away with one blow, which is five thousand!
Even if I took the money and went back to my hometown to buy a few acres of Susukida, at least I wouldn't have to live such a bloody life.

"No hurry, the situation is not right." The leader shook his head.

At the beginning of the conversation, Liu Bei came to him and greeted him with a smile: "You guys are a bit unfamiliar, could it be that you just came to Hejian?"

"The five of us were originally living in Jingzhou, but we just came to Hebei recently, and we just came to Hejian today." The leader saluted.

"Are you from Jingzhou?" Liu Bei immediately became interested. "I heard that Jingzhou has a strong literary style. I have always wanted to go, but I have never had the opportunity! If you five don't dislike it, can you talk to Liu? As a thank you, I will pay for the wine and meat this time!"

Speaking of their hometown, the five of them were somewhat entangled.

I have been out for a few years, and I have never dared to go back. After being told by Liu Bei, I suppressed all killing intentions and began to fall into memories.

Who is not the baby of their parents, and who does not want to stand out?

But in this world, if you were born in poverty, you don't have the opportunity to be successful if you want to.

It’s just that it’s a problem to eat enough, so how do you practice martial arts and study?

Or spend a lifetime in obscurity and immerse yourself in farming.

Either grit your teeth and risk your life to make a career...

The situation of the five people is a bit special. Two of them were defending their friends and accidentally killed someone, so they had to flee.

The other three wanted to change their fate, so they left their hometowns to become rangers, and vowed not to return until they won't become famous.

But hometown and relatives are the deepest softness in the hearts of the five people. While introducing Liu Bei's hometown, tears also soaked the skirts of his clothes.

"Liu Bei used to be a commoner. In the most difficult times, he even weaved mats and sold shoes. If it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would have mobilized a group of volunteers, and now he is still in Zhuo County, waiting for an opportunity to promote filial piety." Liu Bei laughed at himself.

Liu Bei was also born in commoner?Have you ever weaved mats and sold shoes?

The five of them were a little surprised, not to mention that Liu Bei was so calm.

After changing to someone else as an official, the past embarrassing things are never mentioned.

Just because of this, the five of them felt that Liu Bei was very appetizing to them!
Chatting and chatting, everyone became so close that the five of them almost forgot the purpose of their trip...

　In history, Liu Bei served as Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and Liu Ping, a county resident, instigated assassins to assassinate.But Liu Bei didn't know the identity of the assassin and treated him with courtesy. The assassin was deeply moved and couldn't bear to kill Liu Bei, so he confessed the truth and left.

　　Now it is considered to advance this part of the history, replacing Pingyuan Liu Ping with Jingzhou Liu Jing.

　　I looked it up and found that the "Spring and Autumn Classics" has 18 characters, and of course the Gongyang has about [-] to [-] characters.The question "Zuoshi Chunqiu" has [-] characters is really outrageous, and it is too watery.

　　Calculated according to the 625-character volume, there are about 288 volumes. This "Zuoshi Chunqiu" can directly make you "learn rich five cars".Whether five cars can fit in it is up to two people.

　　To put it another way, the number of words is large, so the difficulty of treating classics has increased significantly.

　　In the end, only the children of aristocratic families with money and leisure can cure "Zuoshi Chunqiu". It is a question whether ordinary people can afford to buy a set, let alone study the classics slowly after reading it through.

　　Just like the imperial examination does not admit ugly people, most of the children of wealthy families are handsome. This regulation directly wipes out [-]% to [-]% of the children from poor families. If the standard of ugliness is more flexible, [-]% of the poor families will not be a problem.

　　It can be seen that this aristocratic family has been thinking of ways to ensure that their descendants can obtain the maximum benefit.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for follow-up reading!
　　It is very important to follow up in these two weeks. If you have time, please help me to click on the latest chapters and brush up the follow-up, thank you.
