Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

"Then allow Brother Xuande to raise 3 soldiers in Qingzhou, plus a total of [-] soldiers from the headquarters to enter Xuzhou to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou!"

"This princess will also lead 1 people into Xuzhou. Self-raised soldiers must be completed within a month. I will start to provide supplies and grass, but after entering Xuzhou..."

"Brother Zhou Mu, let me see your skills!"

After Zhi Yuan finished speaking, Liu Bei and the others were immediately dumbfounded.Even Liu Bei himself didn't react for a long time, he looked at Zhiyuan with some doubts, and Zhiyuan resumed his teasing expression.

"Brother Xuande has been with me for a few years...I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know anything in return. Our cooperation has always been very smooth, and I have never treated you as subordinates."

"That's why I said so many things before, just to give my brother a chance to truly display his abilities and express himself."

"After all... now you can train soldiers, how to develop civilians and feed them well. You even know how to mobilize civilians and let them be used by you."

"Could it be that elder brother Xuande really doesn't want to realize his ideals, and that I must ride in this Yubao covered car?"

Liu Bei really didn't know what to say to Zhiyuan. At first, he thought he knew Zhiyuan well enough, and even once thought that Zhiyuan wanted to become emperor.

But what Zhiyuan said today really scared Liu Bei a lot at first, but Liu Bei felt that Zhiyuan became more and more unfathomable.

Especially the last sentence, Liu Bei suddenly found that Tang Zhiyuan seemed to know him better than himself...

This kind of childhood joke, although Liu Bei often used this sentence to motivate himself, no one would know it at all.

The other party not only knows, but even knows that he really has a destiny.That's why when Zhiyuan started, she said that to herself.

But... the other party knew her aspirations and her own destiny, but she gave herself a huge benefit without hesitation.

What kind of place is Xuzhou? It's definitely no worse than Qingzhou.Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not cause much damage to Xuzhou, which is where the big man is fat after all.

This woman actually asked herself to be a Xuzhou shepherd, and even let herself get [-] soldiers.This kind of trust could not help but make Liu Bei tremble all over. He cupped his hands towards the kite: "Bei will never let the princess down in his life..."

Zhi Yuan patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and then said to him, "I'm very envious of brother... Really."

Then Zhi Yuan looked at Zhao Yun, who was still a little confused, with admiration. "This is fate... I went to Jizhou and Youzhou twice, but I didn't meet Brother Zilong..."

"It seems that Zilong is indeed Xuande's favorite...It really hurts...Changshan Zhao Zilong, congratulations to Xuande..."

Zhiyuan smiled, and left by herself.After Zhiyuan left, Liu Bei and the others looked at each other in dismay.

Zhao Yun felt the most awkward. He looked at Liu Bei as if he wanted to ask something.Liu Bei pulled Zhao Yun back, and then said to his two brothers, "Since the princess said so, it means that there is indeed a fate between you and us."

"In that case... how about calling you fourth brother?"

Now Zhao Yun is still very young, and he is not the opponent of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now at their peak, but Zhao Yun's ability is not much worse than the two of them.

Especially the meaning of Zhi Yuan's words, the two of them don't want to have another trustworthy brother.So Zhao Yun became the fourth brother in a daze, but at least he was very happy in his heart.

On the contrary, Guan Yu sighed: "The princess is really a heavenly man, maybe we have done many things by ourselves, and we have not hidden this woman."

"But she didn't get angry at all. She actually gave her brother such a future. This favor... owes me too much."

Liu Bei also nodded, and then he said to Guan Yu with a wry smile: "This favor is the most difficult to repay."

"No matter what, since the princess gave us this opportunity, we must seize it. Yun Changyide... Let's go to Xuzhou for a while!"

"Tomorrow, I will bring some local troops and Xiangyong with me... It is estimated that there are almost 3 people. Miss Tang is so generous, I feel ashamed of Xuande... I will live up to the girl in the future..."

Hmm... In addition to the 1 regular army in his own hands, Liu Bei also cultivated some village braves, and he didn't kill the bandits when he cleared them up, and he also served as auxiliary soldiers in the army.

Even if these people add up to less than [-], it's not too much difference... As a result, Zhi Yuan didn't mean to blame him, and even directly gave Liu Bei this recruitment quota.

All of a sudden, Liu Bei's attitude towards the kite really reached the point of tears of gratitude, that's why Liu Bei said that Bei will never disappoint the princess in his life.

However... Zhiyuan didn't even know about their private use of the army.

It's just a complete coincidence.

Chapter 270 Two: Flat Push

It was another half month and Liu Bei was ready, and because Liu Bei had the help of Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, he almost spent his entire family buying a bunch of things from Zhi Yuan.

After all, entering Xuzhou this time is definitely not a short-term thing.And Liu Bei also estimated that Zhi Yuan did not want Cao Cao to defeat Tao Qian and control the entire Xuzhou.

Because once Cao Cao fully controls Xuzhou, Zhiyuan's Qingzhou will have no chance of development, and it will be surrounded by powerful enemies and locked in Qingzhou.

But after all, this is an opportunity for Liu Bei to become famous in one fell swoop, the head of a state... Can Liu Bei not be tempted? Although Pingyuan County is good, it is Tang Zhiyuan's territory after all, so Liu Bei always feels like he is under the fence.

Of course... Liu Bei was ready, but Zhi Yuan was not.

With the kite back in the plain and Jia Xu's investigation, it took less than a week to find the aristocratic families who were ambushing him.Most of them are from Pingyuan County, and the reason is that Zhiyuan suppressed them too hard.

Hmm... Facts have proved that Zhiyuan can be more ruthless, and Zhiyuan directly copied several people's homes.A group of gentry who can't even keep 500 people is Zhiyuan's opponent...

Although several gentry had already led people to run northward, the monks could not run away from the temple. After Zhiyuan captured most of the gentry, a public trial was held in the plain.

A public trial, beating local tyrants and dividing the land... is simply the best way to deal with this group of gentry, and the kites don't need so many fields, so naturally all of them are distributed to the slaves among the gentry.

Hmm... A total of four gentry families participated, and Zhiyuan made tens of millions of dollars in the homes of these gentry families... and hundreds of thousands of shi for food and grass.As for jewelry, silk, fur, wine, and the like, there are simply too many to count.

And... a total of more than 3 people have been counted from slaves and servants to Ding Xiangyong.Zhiyuan felt so refreshed, so she directly set her sights on the few remaining gentry in Pingyuan County.

The rest of the gentry were very straightforward, saying what the kite said.He even directly gave his family's money and food, and some slaves to Zhiyuan to exile.

After this round of cleaning, the situation in Qingzhou has stabilized again.Those who dared to resist the kite are becoming more careful now... Especially if the kite made a public trial, it is simply murder.

Not only did it kill you in the end, but it also made you cast aside by thousands of people.The gentry here in the plain were so messed up by the kite that they didn't even dare to show off too much when they went out, for fear that a group of civilians would rush up and stone them to death.

After this incident happened, Jian Shuo was actually the one who had the greatest impact.But Zhiyuan would not blame Jian Shuo, because Jian Shuo had too few subordinates...

Whether it's Jian Shuo's Jinyiwei or the Supervising Army, Zhiyuan's minimum requirement is that grassroots officials should be able to read and write.As for departments like Jinyiwei, it is impossible for Jian Shuo to recruit people from aristocratic families, so he can only target poor families and ordinary people who study in the plains.

But... most of the literate, half of them have become teachers.The remaining half became the supervisor of the army. After all, the management in the army is more important. After the distribution of talents in these two places, there are not even dozens of Jian Shuo left.

Not to mention forming an intelligence network, these dozens of people can't even get information about Pingyuan City.Zhiyuan has nothing to do with this kind of thing, and she doesn't dare to use noble people in such a key position, so she can only cultivate it by herself...

Although there are some low-level soldiers, Zhiyuan feels that they are similar to the local security guards. They really can't meet the Jinyiwei she wants, but this kind of matter may not be resolved in a short time.

The most important thing is to control the army and open up the wisdom of the people... As for the intelligence agency, Zhi Yuan still hopes that Jiang Qingqing will come back to cooperate with her, and I don't know if Pei Yuanshao and the others have found her.

So after this series of processing was completed, almost a month had passed.In this month, Liu Bei has led people to the border between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and the messenger from Zhiyuan to Cao Cao has also returned long ago.

Cao Cao agreed to cooperate with Zhi Yuan, because Cao Cao is a little bit overwhelmed now.

Cao Cao couldn't get supplies at all in Xuzhou, Tao Qian directly gave Cao Cao a strong wall to clear the field.And because Cao Cao slaughtered several villages to vent his anger as soon as he came up, no gentry would cooperate with Cao Cao at all.

In other words, Cao Cao's supplies are not enough now, of course... This is also one of the main reasons why Cao Cao slaughtered the city, because he needs food.

The most dangerous time was when Lu Guo confronted Tao Qian.At that time, Cao Cao's convoy transporting food and grass had three or four days to arrive, and the army had already run out of food.In order to avoid the collapse of the army, some things had to be done.

Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's counselors, stood up and gave Cao Cao a good blame.After massacring a town of his own, he used human flesh mixed with grain to make a butcher shop to serve as food for three days...

As for this town, it is Dong'e County (now Liaocheng, Shandong) in the State of Lu.Originally, he had just survived the ravages of Tao Qian's army, and thought he had seen one of his own.But unexpectedly, they were greeted by butcher knives, and the people in a town were mercilessly slaughtered.

(At the beginning, Cao Cao was short of food, so he took a look at his own county and provided three days of food, which was mixed with human preserved food. Because of this, he was disappointed in the court, so he was not a prince.)

This is war...of course, it is also one of the main reasons why Zhiyuan favors Liu Bei more than Cao Cao.Although Zhiyuan is understandable, as a modern person, Zhiyuan will never slaughter her own people for food.

Liu Bei first reached Langya Kingdom with a kite, and then asked Langya King Liu Xi to take refuge in him in the name of Princess Xiangping.Otherwise, they will directly attack the city, and then don't blame Qingzhou for being rude.

And Linju, a small town in front of Langya, surrendered directly to Liu Bei, because Liu Bei had too many people...more than 3 people, and there were quite a few farmers who could have almost [-].

However, the farmer's kite would not be taken away by Liu Bei, so after occupying Linju, Liu Bei directly recruited local civilians, and then replaced these farmers in Qingzhou.Qingzhou's reputation, as well as Liu Bei's reputation, are very good now, so there are not many people who object to Linju.

Well... the small gentry did not dare to object, so Liu Bei's army snowballed.Then Liu Bei left a lieutenant in Linju to wait for Zhi Yuan, while he led people to surround Langya City.

There are not many soldiers in the entire Langya Kingdom, although Tao Qian is also managing here.But because of the war with Cao Cao, Tao Qian pulled out all the original Langya soldiers.And Liu Xi, king of Langya, now has only a few thousand private troops under his command.

What the hell... After receiving Liu Bei's guarantee, Langya King Liu Xi chose to surrender, and the Qingzhou army took control of Langya without bloodshed.Then Liu Bei directly sent his men to Kaiyang, Anton, Xiaqiu and other key cities to occupy, and personally led the main force directly to the south of the East China Sea.After Zhiyuan finished dealing with the aristocratic family's affairs, Liu Bei had already arrived at Donghai City, the capital of Donghai Kingdom.

Chapter 270 Three: Kaiyang Zangba

Unlike those feudal kingdoms in Qingzhou that were basically abandoned, there are many feudal states in Xuzhou and most of them still have kings.The current king of Donghai Kingdom is named Liu Zhi, and he is not too young now, and his health is not good.

So Liu Zhi sent his son Liu Xian to negotiate with Liu Bei.To be honest...without Tao Qian's help, neither the Langya Kingdom nor the Donghai Kingdom has any ability to resist Qingzhou's attack.

At this time, Zhiyuan had also finished the affairs of Qingzhou, and personally led the army into Xuzhou.Well... Zhiyuan didn't lead the generals of Qingzhou. Anyway, she had already planned to hand over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, so the battle here was naturally fought by Liu Bei and others.

And Zhi Yuan was nothing more than leading another [-] semi-recruit soldiers who hadn't fought too many battles, and let them come to Xuzhou to hone their skills.But to be honest, Zhiyuan didn't expect Liu Bei to be so powerful, and he was about to win the second county in just over half a month.

Of course, this is also the reason why Tao Qian withdrew all the local soldiers to fight against Cao Cao.And Liu Bei, who had been in Pingyuan for five or six years, finally felt a little high-spirited now.Not only is there money and food for others, but the journey is extremely smooth.

However, Liu Bei soon found out that he was slapped in the face, and the person who slapped him was Kaiyang, a city in Langya country.After Liu Bei took down Langya City earlier, he took the token of King Langya and went to occupy other nearby cities.

It turned out that the three thousand infantry led by Hua Xiong were the ones who went to Kaiyang.Originally Hua Xiong thought it would be very smooth, but what Hua Xiong didn't expect was that the soldiers in Kaiyang didn't obey the orders of King Langya at all.

He was even hostile to the Qingzhou army, and a man named Zang Ba led nearly ten thousand people out to fight Hua Xiong in the name of repaying Tao Qian.Although in Hua Xiong's hands, Zang Ba didn't take any advantage, but due to the large number of opponents, Hua Xiong could only retreat slowly, and reported the matter here to Liu Bei.

Hua Xiong only has [-] infantry under his command, and the opponent must have tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, so they can't fight a siege battle at all, okay?Liu Bei was also taken aback when he heard that, he actually met a general who was loyal to Tao Qian, which never occurred to him.

So Liu Bei asked Liu Xian who was negotiating with him, and Liu Xian actually planned to surrender, after all, the other party was too powerful.Now Liu Xian just wants to keep his family's fiefdom.

Liu Bei is naturally satisfied with this, after all, Liu Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan.So he politely chatted with the other party about the genealogy, and then took over Donghai Kingdom.

As for the handover work of the East China Sea State, Liu Bei handed it over to Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and left Zhao Yun to lead 5000 people to control the East China Sea State. He led the remaining 1 people to Kaiyang.

Kaiyang is not a small city, apart from Langya City, the largest city in Langya Kingdom is Kaiyang.When Liu Bei arrived here, he saw Hua Xiong who was fortifying the camp to prevent the opponent's sneak attack.

Hua Xiong's [-] infantry fought for a day and suffered a lot of casualties, but instead of retreating, he chose to camp nearby.Hua Xiong still has a set of his own skills, so he directly fortified the camp to prevent the opponent's night attack.

But recently there seems to be no surprise attack by the enemy, instead Hua Xiong ushered in his own army.After talking about the matter... Liu Bei nodded: "Go and talk to them tomorrow and see if they have any requests."

"But if the other party really doesn't want to surrender, then we still have to fight." After Liu Bei finished speaking, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agreed.

On the night of Liu Bei's arrival, tens of thousands of people suddenly launched a night attack from Kaiyang, and fired rockets at Liu Bei's camp.But Liu Bei's current army was only a little chaotic at the beginning, and then calmed down.

Even Zhang Fei led the cavalry to rush out, defeated the opponent and returned to Kaiyang in embarrassment.There were more than 2000 casualties on Liu Bei's side in one night, but there were more than 6000 people including prisoners on Kaiyang's side.

Liu Bei felt a little distressed, because the main force of his subordinates... the training cost of one person was more than three times that of other princes, and two thousand casualties were no different from six thousand casualties.

Of course, this kind of combat power really frightened the generals on Kaiyang's side.So when Zhiyuan came here, Kaiyang had already sent someone out to negotiate.

Zhi Yuan thought for a while, and seemed to have a little impression of the name Zang Ba, and finally became Cao Cao's subordinate.

He should have some ability. Although Zang Ba is now under the jurisdiction of Tao Qian, he should be a faction in Kaiyang. It's just that the Qingzhou Army is threatening the opponent, so the opponent just counterattacked.

Of course...the opponent's combat effectiveness is not high, although they know some tactics, but they can't do anything against Liu Bei and Zhiyuan.After all, whether it is Liu Bei or Zhi Yuan, they are all experienced in battles now.

And Zhiyuan also brought a big killer this time, which was also made by the Erlongshan R&D team, and it was a high-end product made according to Zhiyuan's meaning.Rush car...

The progress of gunpowder is still a little slow. After all, the explosive power of ordinary gunpowder and storage are too laborious.So Zhiyuan directly made a huge charging car and used it to attack the opposite city gate.

The striker of the car is made of solid wood, which can weigh almost a hundred catties. Because there are wheels underneath, and the top is a huge piece of wood wrapped in iron, it can be pushed slowly.Usually, this thing is assembled one by one, and it can be more than five meters high... The position of the striker is at the bottom, and it can have a large swing position.

There can be more than 50 people in charge of pushing the work. Although it is very cumbersome, the protection is quite good.So Zhiyuan planned to talk to the other party, and drove this thing directly to the gate of the city.

What is needed is to deter the other party. After all, it is much better to make the other party surrender than to fight and kill so many people.Moreover, people who have left their names in history anyway, Zhi Yuan reckons that the other party should also have some skills.

On the city wall of Kaiyang, Zang Ba and some of his subordinates silently looked at the orderly Qingzhou army below.The generals Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li were more or less decorated.

Sun Guan frowned: "The opponent is so powerful, we didn't cause much damage to the opponent with the rocket night attack. Do you know who the opponent's general is?"

Zang Ba shook his head: "Qingzhou, it seems to be Pingyuan Liu on the flag. I'm afraid it is Pingyuan Liu Bei among the eighteen princes. I heard that the three Liu Bei brothers are very powerful. The Xiliang Lu Bu who fought in Hulao Pass back then ran away with his head in his arms. .”

Another general named Yi Li said to Zang Ba: "Boss, I think it will be very difficult for us to defend. The Qingzhou army has a strong military discipline. Their target is also Tao Qian. We don't need to sacrifice our lives for Tao Qian. "

Zang Ba sighed: "It should be aimed at Tao Qian, and by the way, carve up Xuzhou with Cao Mengde. Tao Qian is also whimsical, and actually killed Cao Mengde's father. Now that he is coming to revenge, Qingzhou will also come to share a piece of the pie. Xuzhou may not be able to keep it." gone."

"No, we can only talk to the other party... huh? There is a woman on the opposite side, could it be her?" Zang Ba pointed down with his finger.

Chapter 270 Four: Master Cai of Chang'an City

In Chang'an City, Pei Yuanshao and Zhang Baiqi successfully contacted No. [-].

Because of the rescue of Cai's father and daughter, Nishang, who had little feasible power, died again.Of course... Cai Yong knew very well in his heart that since the other party saved him, then his future arrangements and life would be in the other party's hands.

After Dong Zhuo's death... only Cai Yong dared to pay homage to him, because it could be regarded as repaying Dong Zhuo's respect for him.No matter how cruel Dong Zhuo was, Dong Zhuo respected Cai Yong from beginning to end.

And Cai Yong could completely see that Wang Yun was only representing the interests of Chang'an and Luoyang nobles. In fact, the current status of the emperor was not much better than that of Dong Zhuo's time...

Of course, at least most people are still polite when talking to the emperor, but Cai Yong really does not intend to be with Wang Yun.So...he was directly persecuted by Wang Yun. If Zhiyuan hadn't told Nishang to save Cai Yong before leaving, his fate would have been the same as in history.

And because No. [-] lost contact, No. [-] did not tell Cai Yong's father and daughter what Zhi Yuan had explained. So at the beginning, little Cai Yan shed tears every day, fearing that she would be bullied again.

Hmm... Cai Yan seems to be suffering from persecution paranoia now, feeling that someone is trying to harm her.On the contrary, Cai Yong was very calm, since the other party saved him, he would not kill him, it would be better to live under the arrangement of others.

But no matter what, the matter of saving Cai Yong was discovered by Wang Yun. No one hoped that after Dong Zhuo, anyone would dare to challenge the power of the gentry, so it was almost time to dig Chang'an three feet.
