Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 101 Reasonable arrangements before departure

Liu Bian watched the craftsmen holding the drawings of the "fire kang" and retreating with a satisfied look on their faces.

I hope that the next time he returns to Nanpi County, it will be when the fire pit is officially made?

I wish I could really see the fire bed!
Don't teach me to be disappointed...

Liu Bian thought to himself, but sighed silently.

No matter what, he wanted to leave Zhangwu County as soon as possible, and even go to Youzhou incognito to meet Gongsun Zan. This matter had already been decided by him——

Although he is the king of Bohai and also the governor of Bohai, no one stipulates that those who are governor must stay in Bohai County and are not allowed to go anywhere, right?
Even if he can't go out at will... no one can control him!
After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

At worst, if he keeps a low profile, he won't be caught and taken advantage of?
He was very doubtful: would anyone recognize him?
Besides, as long as he arranges suitable candidates and takes charge of Bohai County temporarily for a period of time, I believe it will be no problem for him to go to Youzhou...?
Therefore, what he should consider most at present is: how to arrange, how to arrange, and make reasonable arrangements——

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Cao Ang's questioning voice came to his ears, "Your Highness, are you worried?"

Ok?
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Cao Ang, as well as Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi with worried expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then lowered his face and asked, "Why did you get in?"

Cao Ang said: "The meeting...isn't the meeting over? My father ordered me to go into the house and wait."

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi also nodded, feeling concerned.

It seems that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were also instructed by their father Yuan Shao.

But what's the use?
To be honest, even if Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi sincerely follow him, they won't be able to help him much in the short term... Especially these three teenagers are still in the growth stage and their strength has not yet been finalized. How can they help him? ?
At most, she can only run errands for him and deliver news.

—Wait a minute!
Deliver a message? !

Heartbroken, Liu Bian said: "——It's just right, the king wants a few letters, please send the three of you later?"

After saying this, Liu Bian took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started writing the letter seriously.

Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi stood in a corner, secretly exchanging glances with each other: His Highness said he was writing a letter, but was it more like writing a document? ——Is it possible that he is giving an important task?
When he was young, Liu Bian finished writing, dried it, stamped it with a seal, and gave each of the three teenagers one or two letters, a total of five letters, and asked the other party to deliver the letter quickly.At the end, Liu Bian patted his head, and then realized:
"By the way, do you know how to read?"

"Literacy." Cao Ang and others said in unison.

"Just be literate!" Liu Bian said, "You just go and deliver the letter."

Cao Ang and the others tacitly glanced at the names mentioned on the front of the envelope: Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei... Suddenly, Cao Ang and the others fell into silence.

"Are there any questions?" Liu Bian asked, "If not, go!"

So, Cao Ang and others sent the letter with subtle feelings.

Seeing Cao Ang and the others leave again, Liu Bian was relieved, and said abruptly, "He Xian! Is He Xian here?"

"He Xian is here!" He Xian responded to Liu Bian without saying a word.

Liu Bian shook the last letter in his hand and said, "Go find Shi Yue and bring Shi Yue to the study. Tell him that I have something to say."

"Here." He Xian stepped back and went to inform Shi Yue.

After a while, Shi Yue came over and saluted: "I have met His Highness! May I ask if His Highness has anything to say?"

Gathering his mind, Liu Bian first said: "Mr. Shi, should this king trust you?"

Shi Yue was startled, calmed down, and said seriously: "Your Highness, you should understand my thoughts! Although I have a heart of support, my mind is very small, as small as Bohai County!

Your Highness can trust me in all matters related to Bohai County!
As for the rest, I can't guarantee it... Please forgive me, Your Highness. "

After listening to Shi Yue's confession again, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief and commented: "Your answer is not very satisfactory to me, but it is barely qualified... If it were you, I would be willing to give it a try. I will leave Nanpi County to you to govern for a period of time."

Raising his eyebrows, Shi Yue maintained a slight bow and said nothing.

Liu Bian waved to He Xian.

He Xian skillfully picked up the letter on the table and handed it into Shi Yue's hands, then retreated to a corner, maintaining his good quality of saying nothing.Shi Yue stared at the letter in his hand, seemed to understand something, and took a breath.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Liu Bian asked.

Shi Yue opened the letter and read it carefully.

After that, Shi Yue couldn't close his mouth, his eyes were straight, and he looked at Liu Bian blankly. He could hardly think anymore and stammered: "Your Highness, your Highness, this?! Your Highness, you really want to appoint me as the magistrate of Nanpi County." ?...So, what do you want to do, Your Highness? Are you going to Zhangwu County?"

Shi Yue had not forgotten that His Highness had expressed that he would personally participate in the war.

"Yes." Liu Bian did not deny it. "I should be waiting for Jian Yong's information in the past few days."

"This... Your Highness! Do you think everyone will agree?" Shi Yue felt his scalp numb.

——In the days without His Highness, Shi Yue did not think that he could deal with all the Bohai County officials!

"Therefore, we must carefully consider who we take to Zhangwu County." Liu Bian tilted his head, while comforting Shi Yue, he thought quickly: "Thornhead" cannot stay in Nanpi County... Who should he take with him? Woolen cloth?
First of all, he was sure that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were going!
Because Liu Bian’s final location was Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was not only the candidate for Zhao Yun’s lordship, but also Liu Bei’s former classmate... plus the four of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were highly skilled in martial arts, so they were a perfect candidate. !
Secondly, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others each have their own advantages, disadvantages and difficulties, and they are busy with their own affairs, so they are really not suitable for a long march.

Comparing it, comparing it, are there only four people left, Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao?

With a flash of his eyes, Shi Yue, as the newly appointed Nanpi County Magistrate, could easily guess who His Highness would take... However, Shi Yue didn't say anything.Bowing to His Highness again, Shi Yue said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness has such trust in Qing Chang, Qing Chang will definitely live up to His Highness's trust! When His Highness is away from Nanpi County, Qing Chang will definitely manage Nanpi with care -"

"How do you plan to govern?" Liu Bian swore that he was just asking casually.

Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Supervise the craftsmen to make the fire pit as quickly as possible! Expand the Bohai Prince's residence and build another Nanpi County Magistrate's Palace! Every evening, we will report the progress of the work! We will be responsible for registering the accounts of foreign civilians every day!

what else?

——I’m sorry, Your Highness!Kiyonaga could only think of so much. "

Shi Yue was troubled for a moment and shook his head gently.

Liu Bian nodded and said: "Yes, yes. Just control these four things? - If you still have extra time, you might as well store more food... By the way! You also need to pay attention to the commercial street and build it as soon as possible. What a great commercial street! In this way, everyone can buy and sell with each other!"

"Your Highness is right!" Shi Yue's eyes lit up, and Shi Yue was overjoyed.

In order to prevent himself from forgetting, Shi Yue simply recorded all his tasks to prevent him from forgetting.

...Shi Yue said goodbye to Liu Bian and left with the cloth with the handwriting on it.

Next, Liu Bian’s life remained the same, and the development speed of Nanpi County was also the same: every now and then, there would always be a group of foreign refugees who wanted to enter Nanpi County——Yuan Shu, besides complaining about the incomplete registration, did not forget to bring Shiyue , I begged Shi Yue to help me and lighten Yuan Shu's burden... although the effect was not obvious.

Furthermore, Liu Bei, who was responsible for building the house, together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, also speeded up the formation of the commercial street through Liu Bian's letter. However, the commercial street did not necessarily become a real one after it was built. ’s commercial street... If it wants to live up to its name, it needs to attract wealthy merchants to trade and do business!

Decisively, Liu Bei sent a letter to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang in the far north, asking them when they would bring the goods back to make another deal, and he very much welcomed other merchants to come...

In addition, Liu, Guan, and Zhang knew that Prince Bohai's palace was going to be expanded, but they did not dare to expand it indiscriminately while Liu Bian was still in the palace. Where should Your Highness rest in the dark?
We can't let His Highness sleep in a humble house or on the street?

This is too miserable!
With their hands clenched into fists, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei thought together in unison:
His Highness must not be wronged!

We will wait until His Highness leaves Nanpi County to discuss the expansion and construction of the County Magistrate’s Office!
Liu Bei concentrated on creating "commercial streets".

In different corners at the same time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, plus Cao Cao, after receiving Liu Bian's letter, also intentionally showed their talents: earnestly execute orders, and strive to be perfect...

"This...this is?!"

Liu Bian was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

No words can describe the current splendor!
Knowing that he would leave temporarily, while waiting for Jian Yong's information, Liu Bian frequently took carriages with Cao Ang and others to wander around the scenery of Nanpi County.

Although he said he was just strolling around to see the scenery, Cao Ang felt that His Highness was clearly patrolling Nanpi County to see how Nanpi County was being developed.

A large number of fields were opened and cultivated.

At this moment, it is already late autumn——

Most of the fields are planted with vegetables and wheat!
Let’s not mention wheat, let’s just talk about vegetables. They grow so fast that farmers have harvested them one crop after another!
By the beginning of winter, everyone can accumulate food and survive the winter well.

Nanpi County was growing in an orderly manner, changing bit by bit, and was moving in a good direction when Liu Bian finally received the information from Jian Yong——

At that time, Jian Yong investigated for three days!

In the evening, everyone gathered in the study again to listen to the information brought by Jian Yong.

Seeing Jian Yong sitting cross-legged, ignoring his prestige, he cut straight to the point and said, "Your Highness, I have found out!
General Zhonglang of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan, Marquis of Duting, fought against Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others in Shimen, a vassal state of Liaodong, and Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others were defeated!Later, Zhang Chun abandoned his wife and children and fled into Xianbei territory!But Gongsun Zan continued to pursue, but because he went too far, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for nearly [-] days!

It was precisely because Gongsun Zan and his troops were trapped in Liaoxi County that the rear defenses of Youbeiping County and Yuyang County were empty. As a result, the Yi tribe "Wumaru" seized the gap and took the opportunity to plunder Zhangwu County!

Today, Zhangwu County is an abandoned city without much population.

Your Highness, that’s all about the situation in Zhangwu County. "

"Just... just this?" Liu Bian lightly pressed the case and asked the first question: "Where is Zhang Yan? - Where is General Zhang Yan? Isn't General Zhang Yan stationed in Zhangwu County?"

Jian Yong shook his head and replied: "You have to say that Wu Wan is very cunning!"

"How, what do you say?" Liu Bian asked.

Jian Yong replied: "Yes, General Zhang Yan is indeed stationed in Zhangwu County. Unfortunately, in the past few days, General Zhang Yan led troops to besiege another wave of Yellow Turban thieves. What a coincidence that he missed it!"

what?
Liu Bian opened his mouth wide, then closed it again.After a long silence, he asked: "What happened next? - Zhang Yan returned to Zhangwu County and saw that Zhangwu County had been looted. Aren't you angry?..."

Jian Yongdao: "General Zhang Yan is angry, but he couldn't find the black pill, so he gave up."

With his head full of black lines, Liu Bian thought: Zhang Yan is so open-minded!

Liu Bian asked again: "How come there are still Yellow Turban thieves? - Does General Zhang Yan really want to besiege another wave of Yellow Turban thieves?"

Under normal circumstances, as the former leader of the Yellow Turban bandits, how could Zhang Yan carry out such inhumane siege on his former colleagues? ——Can’t you convince each other one by one?
Jian Yong glanced at Liu Bian, hesitant to speak.

Liu Bian blinked and said he understood.

But he doesn't ask.

Liu Bian concluded: "So, the situation in Zhangwucheng is: the city is in ruins, there are black balls running around outside the city, and is there a wave of yellow scarf thieves nearby? - Mr. Xianhe, I know the information you brought, Please take a rest! I want to discuss with everyone how much supplies should be brought to support Zhangwu County!"

Hearing this, Jian Yong stood up, bowed his hands and resigned without any regrets.

"What? Aid Zhangwu County?!" After watching Jian Yong leave, everyone asked in horror and were softly surprised.

At this time, no one had guessed that Liu Bian wanted to go to Youzhou.

Liu Bian wondered: "Did I make a mistake? Shouldn't we assist Zhangwu County? - Isn't Zhangwu County subordinate to Bohai County?"

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, everyone was choked by Liu Bian's words and became speechless.

"Your Highness—"

When everyone was stunned, Liu Bian suddenly heard Zhao Yun's voice and said:

"If His Highness really wants to leave for Zhangwu County, please let Zilong accompany you."

This? !

Does this mean Zhao Yun agrees with him? !
Liu Bian was ecstatic. When he looked at Zhao Yun, what he saw was a trace of anger igniting in Zhao Yun's eyes...

Looking at Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are also gearing up, as if they haven't moved their muscles for a long time.

"Your Highness! Let's go too!" Then Liu, Guan and Zhang requested in unison.

What else could Liu Bian say? ——He had no choice but to accept it!
As for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and He Miao, they said nothing.

Liu Bian couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao, but saw that Cao Cao was very calm.

It's right to think about it: Cao Cao was appointed by him as the magistrate of Dongguang County, and he devoted himself to governing Dongguang County. How could he have any free time to go to Zhangwu County? ——Furthermore, Cao Cao didn't have the conditions to train soldiers, did he?
Liu Bian, who consciously understood Cao Cao's thoughts, announced to everyone: "Tomorrow morning, I, together with Uncle Wang, Guan Caopu, Zhang Dapu and Zilong, will order three thousand troops and carry supplies to support Zhangwu County!

Now, hurry up and get ready, and gather at the gate of Nanpi City at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning! "

"Here!" Everyone accepted the order in unison.

As the leader of the three generals for the time being, Liu Bei took a step forward and said solemnly: "We will not disappoint His Highness!"

Waving his hand, Liu Bian said: "Just get ready!"

Then, Liu Bei and others were busy loading the goods.
