Xuzhou, Haixi County.

In the county government, Liu Bei will pace.

His face was full of anxiety, since Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou, he first led the army into Guangling, but the remnants of the army were defeated, and he had to turn to Haixi.

It's just that Haixi is located on the coast, with no more than 1,000 households and no more than a thousand fields, and it is sandwiched between Guangling and the two counties of the East China Sea, which is almost a dead place.

At this time, Guan Yu came in stride, but looking at his face made Liu Bei's heart chuckle.

"Yun Chang is back, what did Mi Zhu say?"

Liu Bei's eyes were urgent, and he asked urgently.

When he was the pastor of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu once expressed his willingness to support himself to achieve great causes. Now that he has lost, it is the time when Mi Zhu is in urgent need of help, after all, the Mi family has a big business.

And Guan Yu's trip was to visit Mi Zhu.

"Big brother, when Yu arrived at Mi Mansion, the Mi family was packing up gold and silver valuables."

"Haha, okay, I know that Mi Zhu can't abandon me, this must be to scatter all his family wealth to support me." Liu Bei suddenly laughed, and his hanging heart was also put down.

"What, big brother, Mi Zhu seems to be moving his family, not to scatter his family wealth to support us." Guan Yu raised his hand, a little embarrassed to say it.

Liu Bei's sinking heart instantly mentioned his throat and eyes, and as for the expression, his face twitched, and his voice trembled a little: "Two... What does the second brother mean? ”

"Big brother, Mi Zhu seems to be moving his family to Nanyang and defecting to Zhang Xiu." Guan Yu was quite annoyed, this guy turned to Zhang Xiu regardless of his past friendship, which is really hateful.

"Defecting to Zhang Xiu?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then affirmed: "This is impossible, Mi Zhu promised me that he is willing to participate in great things with me, how can he change his face?" What's more, they all want to let their sister to me. ”

"Second brother, don't lie to your brother."

"Big brother, the Mi family is full of lights, Mi Zhen should be married, but it seems to be marrying Zhang Xiu!" Guan Yu was a little unbearable, this hurt his eldest brother's heart too much.

It seems that the reason why Mi Zhu is only starting to prepare now is because he has an eye on it. But when he learned the news of Liu Bei's defeat and Zhang Xiu's victory, he made up his mind to go west to Zhang Xiu.

However, Liu Bei's pupils suddenly opened, and the whole person was stunned.

Oh took two steps back, sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes were a little sloppy, and his mood was not beautiful in an instant.

Zhang Xiu snatched his daughter-in-law away?

Didn't they all say that they were promised to themselves?

Why, why did you do this to him?

Xuzhou is lost, the soldiers are gone, and now several daughters-in-law are trapped in Xuzhou, and finally looking forward to a concubine who was robbed by Zhang Xiu halfway, how can he bear it.

Alas, it's too hard!

When people reach middle age, everything is not going well!

Guan Yu looked at his eldest brother's face like ashes, and he didn't know how to comfort for a while, "Big brother, you are a descendant of the Han Dynasty and shoulder a heavy responsibility, how can you be so depressed?" ”

Liu Bei turned his head, glanced at Guan Yu, and once again gassed his fighting spirit, how could a trivial matter break his fighting spirit.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei got up again.

"Yes, I am a descendant of the Han Queen, if today's son falls into the hands of traitorous ministers, how can I sit idly by. Yun Chang, how many soldiers and horses do we still have in our army? ”

Liu Bei was angry, and his eyes were fiery.

"Big brother, there are less than a thousand foot riders!"

Guan Yu lamented a little, the first battle broke through Liu Bei's old bottom, it was difficult.

"Less than a thousand?" Liu Bei frowned, but it didn't affect his fighting spirit in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice: "Order the three armies, tomorrow the third watch will make food, and the fourth watch will set off." ”

"Cooking? Big... Big brother, the army has run out of food! ”

Guan Yu's face turned even redder, and when the battle was like this, he couldn't even raise his head to see people.

Liu Bei: "??? ”

Can this still be fun?

"Write a banner in the master of the grain book, and later I will go door to door and personally visit the merchants of the family in the city to ask for some grain."

"No,"

Guan Yu admired in his heart, even if his eldest brother was so difficult, he would never rob, and he was truly benevolent and righteous.

"By the way, big brother, where is our army camping?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment in his heart, and said solemnly: "Go north, run down Pi, and throw Lu Bu." ”

"Tou Lu Bu?" Guan Yu was instantly displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, Lu Bu is as cunning as a fox and greedy as a wolf, how can you vote for him?" ”

"I treat Lu Bu well, when he was down, I let him occupy Xiaopei, and now although he occupies my city, it should not be difficult to borrow Xiaopei and me."

Liu Bei said solemnly.

"But ......"

"Yun Chang doesn't need to say much."

At the same time, the new field of the school.

Zhang Xiu divided the civil and military forces, rewarded his generals with military merits, and the inflatable dolls ushered in a new wave of lovers, which made those soldiers who did not get the doll red-eyed.

…………

In the same year, in early September.

Liu Bei was temporarily stationed in Xiaopei under the consent of Lu Bu, and they were each other's lips and teeth to resist Cao Cao. He was unwilling to be mediocre, and privately recruited troops and horses to expand the team.

Cao Cao led the army north and strangled Yang Feng and others, but Yang Feng was unable to resist and fled south in panic to Yuan Shu.

Youzhou Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Tetun Grain and Yi Jing, but he could not defend it. Yuan Shao sent Ju Yi as a general, surrounded Gongsun Zan and Yi Jing, and retired after a hundred days.

The little overlord Sun Ce attacked Wang Lang, Wang Lang was defeated, took Huiji, Guangling and other places dependent, intending to take Yangzhou and become the overlord of Jiangdong.

Shofunai,

Looking at the rafts of letters coming from all over the place,

Zhang Xiu was not surprised, but breathed a sigh of relief, the historical trajectory has not changed much because of himself, and he still has the advantage of foresight.

However, he must take Jingzhou before the wheel of history changes, and if he wants to achieve hegemony, Jingzhou must take it.

"Lord, the rice will be ripe in various places, and the soldiers should be organized to harvest the rice to avoid natural and man-made disasters." Seeing that Zhang Xiu was not so surprised by the military situation, Jia Xu was not blindly worried, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, inform the people everywhere that they will harvest grain tomorrow and strive to complete all the harvests within ten days." Zhang Xiu nodded, and said in a majestic voice.

At this time, there is not much rice, and when the yield is good, one acre of field can produce two or three dendrobium millet, and there can be two dendrobs when husked. A normal family of five has about one ration a month.

According to Zhang Xiu's share, each of them can make a living by planting more than ten acres of land. Of course, this is based on the fact that Zhang Xiu did not pay taxes and the harvest was halved.

It is important to know that land annexation was serious at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Eighty percent of the people are tenant farmers, without their own land, and tenant farmers can only get one or two percent of the harvest per mu, and they also need to pay various taxes, so it can be said that they have never had enough to eat.

"No," Jia Xu responded.

"By the way, the lord, the Mi family has already arrived in Xinye, do you need to meet with you?"

"No,"

Zhang Xiu said without hesitation.

"Lord, isn't that right? After all......," Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and said softly.

"It's okay, let them dry them first, and let them remember it for a long time."

Zhang Xiu waved his hand and disagreed, originally he sincerely invited the Mi family, but the Mi family sat and watched the changes, and saw that he had won before the family came, really he didn't understand their little ninety-nine?

"No,"

Jia Xu nodded and responded.
