Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 27 He really wants to start from scratch

Standing on the mountainside that looks like an entrance, Liu Bian and his party looked down the mountain and saw Bohai County City - ahem~ Strictly speaking, it is an unknown county town in Bohai County. The layout is very clear:
On the left is a forest that has not been developed at first glance. It is very primitive. From time to time, Liu Bian can see various large birds coming and going; on the right is a series of houses, which are not beautiful at all, and there are zero Scattered and surrounded by fields - a pity, it would be nice if the fields weren't so desolate!
Looking farther away, you can still see the shadowy mountains, as if this small town is placed in the mountains, it is the lowest version of the paradise... Liu Bian couldn't help but click:
Who will tell me that this small city is actually called... Nanpi? !

Bohai County Government Office - Nanpi, if you tell me, who will believe it? !

This is too poor and deserted!

Anyway, Liu Bian stretched his neck and looked for a long time, but he didn't see many people. I guess the population of Nanpi... isn't that big? ——No no no!Maybe you can only see the flow of people when you go to every corner of Nanpi?
Thinking of this, Liu Bian looked at Zhang Yan and asked: "General, may I ask King Bohai... how to get to the mansion?"

Zhang Yan blinked and asked: "Is there a King of Bohai in Bohai County? And a mansion specially built for him? - Why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Bian: "..."

With a dull look on his face, Liu Bian stared at Zhang Yan, waiting for Zhang Yan to give a reasonable explanation: By the way, who proclaimed himself King of Bohai before?

How could there be no Prince Bohai’s residence? !
But Zhang Yan didn't give an explanation.

On the side, Cao Cao and others also kept their mouths shut. Only Zhang Fei, who still had a big mouth, raised his voice and said: "General Zhang Yan, didn't you occupy Bohai County as the king before? - Why, don't you have a special His mansion?"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was silent.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Fei calmly and said with a smile: "All the officials in Bohai County have fled, how can there be any special residence? However, if you insist on looking for it, it is not impossible..."

Pointing her hand, Zhang Yan pointed to the distance, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid His Highness won't be happy."

--Knew it!Even if Zhang Yan admires Liu Bian, she can't change her gangster attitude and lack of awe.

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "It's okay! I wonder if General Zhang can take us there?"

Now that he has arrived in Bohai County, Liu Bian should look for a place to rest: don't forget the rear, there are a large number of refugees who are about to arrive...

Looking around at Liu Bian and his party, Zhang Yan said: "There are too many of you, I'm afraid we won't be able to accommodate you."

Can't live...can't live in it? !
Liu Bian must be stunned: Hey, hey!Regardless of Liu Guanzhang's three thousand infantry, only he, Cao, and the Yuan brothers, plus He Miao and more than 100 cavalry, couldn't live in the dignified palace of Prince Bohai? !
Don't you see that the group of prominent officials in Luoyang City, each with more than a thousand servants and maids, some tens of thousands, can't be accommodated in this Bohai Mansion?
What a joke.

"General Zhang, may I ask how many people can live in Prince Bohai's residence?" Liu Bian deeply felt that the title of Prince Bohai was extremely malicious to him and was full of irony.

Zhang Yan said: "It can accommodate at most ten people."

Him: Is this worthy of being called a mansion? !
Tired, he waved his hand and said, "General, could you please take us there first?"

According to the old rules, Liu Bian first ordered the large troops to camp on the spot, then counted the generals, and followed Zhang Yan to the so-called Bohai Prince's residence.

...Mightily, Liu Bian and his party advanced slowly.

At that time, Liu Bian and Liu Bei were riding on the same horse.

Then, Liu Bian saw that the doors of every house that had finally been inhabited by people were tightly closed, as if someone would break into the house and rob something... As for what?Just looking at the appearance of your house, it looks so dilapidated that no one would even think of stealing it!The scariest thing is:
Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Bian saw a little child struggling to open the window. Before he could put his head out, he was eagerly pulled back by a pair of big hands.

Then, there was a "boom" sound and the windows were closed tightly.

Not just one.

There was quite a sense of "Wolf is coming", which made Liu Bian neither angry nor laughing.

Finally, Liu Bian and his party arrived at their destination.

Overgrown weeds, overgrown trees, broken tiles, faded walls, and the cracked floor... The area is not too large, and an empty mansion caught Liu Bian's eyes in such an understatement. Liu Bian fell into silence for a while.

This was completely different from what he had imagined.

Standing at the door of the mansion, Liu Bian stared at the swaying door and said calmly: "Is this the residence of Prince Bohai?"

"It's also the mansion where the officials of Bohai County originally lived." Zhang Yan's tone sounded like a schadenfreude, "It's just that I heard that Mr. Zhang was coming, so he ran away overnight."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Bian finally understood: So he really wants to start from scratch? !
He signaled to Liu Bei that he would dismount and move in here.

Zhang Yan consciously completed the task and took the people away temporarily.

As a result, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and He Miao, as well as five former cavalrymen who were transferred to guards, came to help on their own initiative: everyone came in and out, carrying food and vegetables with ease. Melons, fruits, baggage and other items were sorted and transported into the warehouse. Thank God, Liu Bian was pleasantly surprised to find that the ownerless mansion looked dilapidated and had no layout, but the inside was quite clean and tidy, at least there were a few tables. Furniture such as tables and desks can be used, and there is no need to purchase additional ones.

With a bang, everyone groped around the mansion again and found several brooms, cloths, wooden basins and other daily necessities.

Simply, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and He Miao led the three guards and swept the ground silently.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei, along with the other two guards, diligently wiped the tables, chairs, and cabinets.

Yuan Shu's face was twisted in embarrassment, and he complained: "Your Highness, it's still early, why don't you recruit a few maids to go to work? This... this..."

Yuan Shu stared at Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Guanzhang and others who were busy working around, looking very hard-working, without any trace of the heroic image of the military generals in the past, and refused with emotion.

As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shu did not want to wrong himself at all.

But I saw Liu Bian curiously standing by a well and bending down to see if there was any water in the well...

"Your Highness!!" Yuan Shu was shocked and rushed forward to protect Liu Bian, fearing that Liu Bian would fall into the well. "Your Highness, what do you want to do? - Let me do it!"

"I want to know if there is water in this well." Liu Bian said curiously.

Yuan Shu turned around and looked into the well and affirmed: "There is water!"

"Really?" Liu Bian's eyes lit up and he asked again, "Is it clean? Can you drink it?"

"Your Highness, are you thirsty?" Yuan Shu asked knowingly.

"That's good." Liu Bian said, "I want to pour you a bowl of water."

"Let Shu do it!" Yuan Shu sighed.

Then, Liu Bian stood aside and watched happily as Yuan Shu took out a dozen empty bowls from the kitchen, placed them by the well, then personally drew water from the well, filled a dozen bowls, and said helplessly:

"Your Highness, is this water enough to drink?"

Shaking his head, Liu Bian said: "Not enough, not enough. Mr. Yuan, have you forgotten that group of refugees? It's almost time for the other party to enter Bohai County? How thirsty must everyone be after chasing them all the way?"

Thirst is not the main thing.

The most important thing is: the refugees have traveled a long distance and are already hungry, and he...can't the food reserves last for one or two days?

How to do this?
His expression darkened.

After a pause, Yuan Shu still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the worst thing is... the worst thing is that even if Shu fights for his life, he has to make sure that the refugees are no longer thirsty!"

Yuan Shu... personally dug well water to provide water for everyone?

Startled for a moment, he watched Yuan Shu roll up his sleeves with an "I'm ready" expression on his face... With his eyes crooked, he whispered:
"Mr. Yuan, you are so kind!"

Yuan Shu: "..."

Grinning, Yuan Shu said: "It is Shu's honor to make His Highness happy."

Later, when Liu Bian and his party cleaned the mansion and were about to return to their respective residences to rest for a while, they suddenly saw Guan Hai rushing into the courtyard and shouting:
"Your Highness! Your Highness! It's not good! It's not good! The refugees who follow you are coming!"

He lifted his steps and put them down again. Liu Bian looked at Guan Hai and asked, "Where is it?"

"Just... just three miles outside the mansion!" Guan Hai replied, with sympathy on his face, "However, the refugees were very angry and said that Your Highness was a liar. There is not much food in Bohai County at all!"

"..." Decisively, he ordered, "Captain Cao! Captain Yuan! All your people are mobilized and carry out all the food! Cook rice porridge quickly!! I want to give rice porridge, so I need to stabilize the situation first! The rest of the people General, come with me! Guan Er, lead the way!"

"Here!"

Everyone took orders and acted independently.
