The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 239 Another visitor to Liu Bei's house~
Chen Xi and his colleagues did not intend to pay too much attention to the fact that Gongsun Zan and Ju Yi proved their military spirit on the battlefield. After all, anything could happen on the battlefield.

Just like Gongsun Zan, he was bound to lose, but because of his swift white horse and his military spirit, he successfully turned the defeat around.

Moreover, although the military spirit is strong, it is not invincible after all. If one wants to restrict or exchange it, they have corresponding response plans.

It is difficult for one or two decisive combat arms to determine the outcome of a large-scale military operation. The backbone forces are the key to determining victory or defeat.

Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi who was praising him highly and couldn't help but touch his chin. Why did he always feel that Chen Xi was just being perfunctory?
Moreover, Liu Bei did not believe that Chen Xi did not notice his actions. After all, when he sent out the relevant knowledge, he did not intend to avoid Chen Xi.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's discuss how to solve the problem Zi Yu mentioned in the letter." Liu Bei interrupted Chen Xi's flattery.

If Chen Xi had praised him sincerely, Liu Bei would have been willing to listen for a while longer, but unfortunately Chen Xi was like a heartless robot, muttering the words of praise he knew.

Guo Jia, who had the intelligence, spoke first: "According to Zi Yu, General Gongsun gave up the confrontation with Yuan Shao because the Xianbei Hu people invaded Youzhou from the south.

The Xianbei Hu people's invasion of the south is urgent, so General Gongsun plans to lead the speedy white horses directly back to Youzhou, and at the same time temporarily entrust the infantry group remaining in Jizhou to Ziyu's care. "

After hearing what Guo Jia said, Jia Xu also expressed his thoughts: "It seems that the Jizhou army in the north of Bingzhou must have induced the Xianbei people to invade the south.

Jizhou should have already prepared to intercept the Youzhou army after it retreats to Jieqiao." Although he had not received any definite intelligence, Jia Xu still made this conclusion.

Guo Jia's eyes sparkled, "If that's the case, then when General Gongsun led his troops back to Youzhou, the ones who intercepted them must have been Tian Feng and Xun Zhan."

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia awkwardly. He was just about to say this sentence, but Guo Jia said it first. Obviously, he just wanted to give everyone some time to think.

Chen Xi frowned and asked, "How can you be sure that the two people who intercepted us are Tian Yuanhao and Xun Youruo? What if Yuan Benchu ​​left these two people in Yecheng?"

"Haha," Guo Jia chuckled, "Shen Zhengnan is really loyal to Yuan Benchu."

Guo Jia didn't say anything more, but everyone present was a smart person. Maybe Liu Bei couldn't hear what Guo Jia was saying, but there would always be someone to explain it to Liu Bei.

"If you say so, then Tian Yuanhao is also loyal to Yuan Benchu?" Chen Xi said thoughtfully as he listened to Guo Jia's speculation.

At this point, Chen Xi finally understood what Guo Jia was talking about. Wasn't it that Yuan Shao had arranged it this way on purpose?

“So, Yuan Benchu ​​always puts people who are truly loyal to him in some key positions, even if the person’s ability is not enough to hold the position.

However, for Yuan Benchu, ability is not the most important thing, loyalty is the most important thing. "Jia Xu said.

"It is said that Cao Mengde is very suspicious. It seems that Yuan Benchu ​​is not much worse than Cao Mengde." Fan Qin said casually.

If Fan Qin had not followed Chen Xi at the beginning, he might have followed Xun Yu's letter and joined Cao Cao's army, so Fan Qin had a certain understanding of Cao Cao.

Speaking of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's suspicion, everyone couldn't help but look at Liu Bei, and then forced their heads to turn back.

"Hey! What's with that look on your face?" Liu Bei was speechless. He was talking about other people, so why did they suddenly bring the topic to him?

"Ahem," Chen Xi pretended to cough, attracting everyone's attention, "Let's discuss General Gongsun's matter."

"That..." Fa Zheng raised his hand cautiously and said, "Before we discuss this matter, should we first confirm whether General Gongsun will temporarily transfer the command to Zi Yu?"

As soon as Fa Zheng said this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Fa Zheng, and there was a cold look in their eyes.

Fa Zheng's neck shrank back subconsciously, and then he immediately stretched out his neck and said, "Isn't this clearly written in black and white in Zi Yu's letter?"

Seeing Fa Zheng's rebellious look, everyone's eyes couldn't help but slide to Guo Jia, and then back to Fa Zheng.

Liu Bei looked at the situation and shook his head with amusement, "Okay, stop looking at Xiaozhi like that, after all, Xiaozhi didn't say anything wrong.

Just like Xiaozhi said, Zi Yu’s letter was most likely not to ask you for advice, but to let you know about this matter.

After all, given Senior Brother's personality, who knows what will happen after he meets Zi Yu. What if the two of them fail to reach an agreement...

Everything we discuss here is just empty talk." Liu Bei shook his head to stop everyone from saying anything else.

Liu Bei turned to Chen Xi and said, "Zichuan, I heard from Xiaozhi that you are planning to give the official seal of the Prime Minister of Qi to Xiaozhi?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi looked towards Fa Zheng. As expected, Fa Zheng was looking at Liu Bei, who was speaking for him, with an excited look on his face, and did not notice Chen Xi's gaze at all.

Liu Bei patted Fa Zheng on the shoulder and said to him, "Don't just look at me, look at Zichuan. Your official seal is held by Zichuan, not me."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Fa Zheng immediately turned his gaze to Chen Xi, his bright eyes full of excitement, and he was waiting for Chen Xi to nod.

According to Chen Xi's estimation, if he nodded, Fa Zheng would probably jump up in front of everyone and make everyone forget what he had done here.

Although he made such a move subconsciously because of surprise, Fa Zheng knew very well what these people wanted to see most. After all, he was also such a person.

In the end, Chen Xi nodded, took out a file bag from the drawer of his desk, and handed it to Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng took it with both hands, and when he opened the file bag to examine it, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Looking at the document of his appointment as Prime Minister of Qi and the corresponding seal, Fa Zheng took a deep breath, put down the document and seal in his hand, and bowed deeply to everyone.

If it weren't for these people in front of him, Fa Zheng might still be suffering in Fufeng County. There was no way he could become the Prime Minister of Qi with a rank of 2,000 stones at this age.

Liu Bei said to Fa Zheng solemnly: "Xiaozhi, after accepting this document, the burden on your shoulders is no longer just yours. Don't forget that you also carry the burden of millions of people on your shoulders."

Liu Bei only said this, and there was no need to say anything more. Fa Zheng had grown a lot during these days in Mount Tai. "Xiaozhi, after you go to Qi, you should curb your irritable character. The people and officials below are all watching you." Guo Jia said to Fa Zheng seriously, which was rare.

Others also said some encouraging words to Fa Zheng, after all, they had all witnessed Fa Zheng's growth.

Now Fa Zheng is finally going to show his abilities in front of the world. It is impossible for them to say that they don't care.

……

"Zichuan, what is that small box you are holding?" On the way home with Chen Xi, Liu Bei finally couldn't help but ask Chen Xi.

When he was at the Government Affairs Office, Liu Bei finally understood why he didn't find Chen Xi when he went to Chen Xi's house. It turned out that Chen Xi had come to his house to look for him. Liu Bei didn't know what to say.

Since Chen Xi was looking for him with this small box, the things inside must be related to Liu Bei himself, and it was inevitable that Liu Bei would be interested in it.

After all, something that could make Chen Xi leave his home and personally go to Liu Bei's house to deliver something would definitely not be an ordinary gift or something.

"Lord Xuande, please don't be anxious for now," Chen Xi shook his head, "When you return to your mansion, you will naturally know what is in here." Chen Xi kept Liu Bei in suspense.

"It doesn't matter whether I know it earlier or later." Liu Bei couldn't help but mutter a few words, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, his home was right in front of him.

Chen Xi listened to Liu Bei's chattering patiently, responded from time to time, and followed Liu Bei into Liu Bei's home.

Chen Xi looked at the moonlight reflected on the ground and listened to Liu Bei's voice, but Liu Bei suddenly fell silent.

Chen Xi was about to look up to see what was going on when he heard a female voice: "Hey, Xuande, you're back~
Hmm? Zichuan is here too. "After seeing Chen Xi, Zhang was a little flustered, but she quickly adjusted her mood. After all, it was not the first time that Chen Xi ran into her at Liu Bei's place.

"Hello, Madam Zhang." Chen Xi bowed to Zhang, then moved his eyes back and forth between Liu Bei and Zhang, his gossipy air visibly emerging from him.

Mrs. Gan stood aside awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or to stand here. She could only try her best to reduce her presence.

"..." Liu Bei endured Chen Xi's gossipy look and asked Madam Gan to take Madam Zhang to the backyard.

"Lord Xuande, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Chen Xi said to Liu Bei with a smile.

Liu Bei glanced in the direction of the backyard and didn't say much to Chen Xi about it. After all, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Okay, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about what's in this box." Liu Bei pointed to the small box that Chen Xi placed on the table.

"What's inside? Lord Xuande, why don't you take a look yourself?" Chen Xi exerted force with his wrist and pushed the small box on the table towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pressed the small box that was sliding towards him, first glanced at Chen Xi, and then opened the small box under Chen Xi's slightly smiling gaze.

"..."

Liu Bei stretched out his fingers and ran them across the paper in the box. The frosted texture from his fingertips allowed Liu Bei to conclude that the paper was from the first batch made by Chen Xi, when they had just arrived in Taishan County.

The slightly yellow paper surface and the slight impurities represent the immaturity of the papermaking technology at that time, but it was the beginning of their papermaking industry.

He picked up a title deed, and as he expected, it was the title deed to a shop or land on North First Street.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, Liu Bei still felt a little dazed when he actually saw the land deed in the box.

Although Liu Bei didn't pay much attention to politics, how could he not know the situation in the trading street after wandering around the streets for a long time?

Most of the merchants who came to Fenggao were asking who owned the North-South Street.

I didn't ask around, but either I heard some news from certain people or I realized something myself, and I was quietly waiting for the time to come.

Liu Bei looked at these blank deeds and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Zichuan, you are really shocking. You actually figured out how to deal with these things at that time."

Although he had already seen Chen Xi's astonishing long-term vision from the new commercial law incident, this time Liu Bei felt what Lu Su, Guo Jia and others felt when they faced Chen Xi.

Chen Xi listened to Liu Bei's words of praise and just accepted it with a smile. After all, these were indeed his abilities, and it was not a big problem to be praised by others.

"Okay, since you have taken these things out, I believe you will not take them back. I will deal with them well." Liu Bei closed the lid again.

"However, these things will probably return to you in the end. After all, when it comes to making money, no one in the two states and three counties can compete with you." Liu Bei shook his head.

Of course Liu Bei knew why Chen Xi gave him these land deeds.

Look, these things I took out from my own private treasury to reward you. Now you can't say that I am borrowing the power of the treasury and spending other people's money generously.

After Chen Xi finished his tea, had his snacks and left, Zhang came out from behind the screen.

Looking at the small box next to Liu Bei, Zhang's beautiful eyes were full of admiration for Chen Xi, "Zichuan is truly a god!

Chen Zichuan is indeed worthy of being called a rainy day planner. He was able to prepare for today at that time. Xuande has Zichuan, so he doesn't have to worry about these things at all."

"Hahaha, I'm blessed by heaven to have Zichuan, and it's proof that the Han Dynasty will remain strong." Liu Bei was very proud. He was still very proud of the fact that he picked up a top counselor on the road.

At that time, who could have imagined that Chen Xi, who was following the princes for a living, had such great abilities. It was Liu Xuande who had a keen eye and discovered Chen Xi.

Although Chen Xi was targeting Liu Bei at that time, it did not prevent Liu Bei from bragging in front of Zhang.
