[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

The summer sun was very hot, the soldiers in the barracks were sweating profusely, and the farmers in the fields were also sweating profusely. Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died at the hands of his rebellious subordinates. Except for several months of turmoil in the officialdom, other places were not affected. Influence.

No matter who the state shepherd above is, the soldiers in the barracks have to do only training, and the farmers in the fields have to do only farming. To them, the state shepherd is as far away as the emperor, far less than the corporal who is in charge of them The chief and the grain collector are real.

Chen Deng is from Xiapi. It stands to reason that he should not be an official in Xiapi, let alone be the governor of Xiapi. Instead, he should go to other states and counties to serve as the prime minister of the state like his father. The situation was changing rapidly, and Tao Qian asked him to stay in Xiapi, so he could only be his Xiapi Cheng honestly.

Ruo Rong amassed money to build temples, mainly from Xiapi, Pengcheng and Guangling. Now that Ruo Rong is dead and Xinzhou Mu has taken office, he wants to restore Xiapi and even Xuzhou to what it was before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It just happened to be an excuse to run back and forth to count the surplus grain in the three counties of Xiapi, Pengcheng and Guangling.

The temple has been built, and the Buddha statue and the tower cannot be pushed away. It would be a waste to bulldoze the things that have been built with great difficulty. The temple occupies a huge area, and it would be perfect for receiving disaster victims in winter. He thought so two years ago It's a pity that Ruo Rong refuses.

What did he say about the predestined people in Fodu? He thinks that the rich people in Fodu are more or less the same. What is he trying to do in the name of saving the suffering but not doing practical things? The temple can't be requisitioned.

As for the reaction of the newcomer Liuzhou Mu, what kind of reaction is he who loves him.

Chen Yuanlong is also a curmudgeon, he had repeatedly advised Tao Qian that Tao Qian couldn't stand him, but Tao Qian just refused to listen. To the west of Xiapi is Yanzhou Peiguo, where his father, Chen Gui, was the Prime Minister of Peiguo. There had been good harvests and natural disasters in that place for several years. Don't be afraid, it's better for people to have surplus food at home than anything else.

He had long wanted to learn from Yanzhou to restore Nongsang, but he had no chance. Now that Sun Ce, the son of Wu Chenghou, occupies Guangling, he first established a good relationship with Guangling, and then got in touch with Wu Chenghou through his father's relationship. This is a two-pronged approach. , He Chou couldn't learn a good way from Yanzhou.

Chen Deng's plan was very good, he was [-]% sure that things would come to fruition, Liu Xuande was not well-known before, Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin were young, but behind them was the former Situ who had power over the government, Sun Langzhou When Lang fought from Yuzhang to Guangling, there must have been a signal from Yuan Situ.

Xuzhou's water and land transportation is very developed. It was also a big state where "the people are prosperous and the grain is supported". From here, you can reach other counties and counties very quickly. It is very convenient to send troops and transport food. .

In any case, there is no harm in having a good relationship with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. With Sun Bofu in Guangling, Wu Chenghou would not stand by and watch if something happened. Xiapi is adjacent to Guangling.

Chen Deng guessed that Liu Bei's state shepherd was not stable, but he never expected that there would be so many edicts issued by the imperial court. Many other officials, large and small, died in his hands. The first thing Liu Bei did after he came to Xuzhou was to recruit talents to fill the vacancies.

After the imperial edict came down, the positions he appointed became a joke.

The prefects, prime ministers, and prime ministers of each prefecture in Xuzhou were all reappointed, and there were appointments from the imperial court, so the prefect's words seemed insignificant.

In Xiapi City, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were all stunned on the spot when they heard the news. Zhang Fei was so violent that he drew his sword on the spot and chopped the table next to him to pieces. "They bullied people too much! They bullied people too much!"

Xuzhou's affairs should be handled by their eldest brother, Xuzhou Mu. At this time, Jizhou is dictating where to put their eldest brother's face?

What order from the imperial court, it was clearly that Jizhou Mu deliberately found fault with his elder brother who was not pleasing to the eye.

"Yide, calm down." Guan Yu grabbed the third younger brother who was spitting fire, frowned and looked at their eldest brother, "Brother, the imperial court is starting to attack, what should we do?"

Liu Bei sighed, "Let's take a look again. When I came here, I knew that I couldn't be kind. Now Jizhou's troubles are also expected."

As early as when he was the Pingyuan Commander, he saw that Jizhou Yuanzhou Mu was not a thing in the pool. Thinking about his family background, it would not be surprising to point out Jiangshan, but the problem is that Jiangshan belongs to the Han family with the surname Liu Yuanzhou Mu hijacked the emperor and used the hand of the emperor to drive the people of the world. How could the courtiers of the Han Dynasty tolerate him?

Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, but we can't give in just because the enemy is strong. Shi Sun Zhoumu said that there are still many loyal ministers and good generals guarding His Majesty in the court, and Yuanzhou Mu of Jizhou will not harm His Majesty if he wants to act in the name of the Son of Heaven. Firstly, whether they can rescue His Majesty depends on their abilities.

Jizhou just re-appointed the chiefs of the counties and counties. It is a blessing in misfortune that they did not directly send troops to Xuzhou. We can't expect too much. At least for now, Xuzhou's state shepherd is still Liu Xuande, "Well, please don't drive me later Come to the house for a while."

There are not many soldiers and horses around him, and there is no one else he can trust except the two sworn brothers. As long as he can gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, other things can be easily solved.

Tao Gongzu came to Xuzhou to show his favor to the Mi clan. Mi Zhu, the patriarch of the Mi clan, is no longer in Xuzhou, and his official position has been promoted. I don’t know what else can impress him. I heard that Mi Zhong is kind and gentle, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Entangled.

Liu Bei squeezed the space between his eyebrows and heaved a sigh of relief. He asked people to clean up the mess in the house, and cheered up to face the upcoming test.

Zhang Fei clenched his fists, opened his mouth to say something, turned his head and saw the stern-faced second brother, his expression changed and changed, and he finally left with resentment.

Useless, too useless, when will this kind of aggrieved days end?

"Brother, I'm going to see the third brother." Guan Yu left behind a sentence and hurriedly followed, for fear that the hot-tempered third brother would go out and trouble those officials. Trouble.

Liu Bei waved his hands and let them go out. He looked at the map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, his eyes turned around Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and finally stopped on the word Jingzhou.

Yuan Situ deserves to be Yuan Situ, and he is even more difficult than he imagined. If the other side sends troops directly, he can use this as an excuse to win over people's hearts. Now that he is making such a big move, he really can't think of a countermeasure for a while. .

Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. At this time, if you can get this land, if you can stabilize the foundation, you will have great hope for success. But similarly, Xuzhou is surrounded by four states. If you don't have enough strength, even if you take it at this time To get the site is just to throw it away.

After Tao Gongzu suppressed the Yellow Turban bandits, he had a strong army, but unfortunately the good situation was ruined by himself. Now that he has encountered a strong enemy, even with the name of a state shepherd, he cannot command the whole of Xuzhou. How easy is it to gain a firm foothold here?

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and now that he has left Qingzhou, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Qingzhou has already fallen into the hands of Yuan Huan. In name, the state shepherd is Shi Sunrui. In fact, all the affairs of the county and county are managed by others. Only some insignificant matters will be sent to the state shepherd's mansion.

Xuzhou is some distance away from Jizhou, and it was under the control of Tao Gongzu before. Even if all the people sent to Xuzhou this time are Yuan Huan's cronies, it will not be easy for them to win Xuzhou.

The difference is that there are more people and fewer people, and he can be considered as a head start when he arrives in Xuzhou first. As long as he can get the support of Xuzhou's local aristocratic family before those people, he will be able to drive them out of Xuzhou sooner or later.

If it doesn't work, he can only abandon Xuzhou and go away.

When Tao Gongzu was alive, he intended to join forces with Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou to fight against the enemy, but Liu Jingsheng has been vacillating, and Xuzhou and Jingzhou are far apart, so there has been nowhere to go. The threat did not come to his door a few years ago, waiting for Jizhou to send troops Attacking Jingzhou, Liu Biao can't continue to waver.

Liu Bei looked at the map on the wall, and sighed again after a while.

In the same city of Xiapi, some people are worried and some are happy. The ones who are worried are Zhou Mu Liu Xuande and his two sworn brothers, and the ones who are happy are Xiapi Cheng Chen Yuanlong, or former Xiapi Cheng and current Diannong School Captain Chen Yuanlong.

As much as Liu Bei was worried, Chen Deng was as happy as he was. He knew that there was nothing wrong with taking the initiative to show his favor.

Diannong Xiaowei has more power than Juncheng. The point is not whether the power is great or not, but the official position is in line with his wishes. As a Diannong Xiaowei, he can concentrate on leading the people in Xiapi and even the whole Xuzhou to be on par with Yanzhou. The goal is to restore fertile fields and thousands of miles within three years.

It has only been three or four years since the people in Yanzhou fled and lost their homes to Wufu and Minfeng. Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai have already found a feasible path, and he will definitely not have any problems if he follows the old path of the two of them.

Liu Bei was very annoyed when he heard that all the prefects and ministers of the counties and states in Xuzhou were replaced by people appointed by the court. He didn't know that everyone who came this time brought at least [-] elite soldiers with them, especially those who came to Xiapi to serve as prefects. Zhang Liao and Zhang Taishou, who can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, in order to reassure Liu Zhoumu, don't be afraid, he only brought 5000 people, which is not too conspicuous among his colleagues.

Sun Ce was shocked when he found out who the new Xiapi prefect next door was. He happened to be working overtime these days to arrange manpower. He laughed so much at the banquet that his face almost twitched. Knowing that Zhang Liao greeted Zhou Yu after Xiapi City, he immediately Go to Xiapi to talk to him about the old days.

I haven't seen Zhang Wenyuan for several months. It's rare that the two of them are so close. I'm sorry if I don't go to visit. He just needs to rest after being busy for several days. No, he needs to ask his seniors for advice on how to be a qualified prefect. I was not proficient in being a prefect once, so I have to ask someone who has been a prefect for advice.

In Xiapi City, there are state shepherds, eunuchs, magistrates, and various other officials. The size of the official office is larger than that of Guangling City, but the city does not look much better than Guangling City. Looking at the fierce guards at the door, recalling the guards he saw when passing by the state pastoral mansion, he couldn't help rubbing his arms in silent tribute to Liu Zhou pastoral.

It's too miserable, if he is Liu Bei, and there is a strong enemy general living beside him, he will either ambush and kill the grass and roots when he first arrives, or pack up and leave.

Hey, he respects Liu Xuande as a real man.

This is too bearable.
