The promotion of the state pastor came quite suddenly.

Liu Bei was not prepared, so he was suddenly promoted.

Unconsciously, have you become the master of a state?

After receiving the news, Liu Bei scratched his head and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him in a daze.

These flowers and plants were planted when he first came to Taiyuan.

Now it's luxuriant.

Every day when he has free time, he combs the flowers and plants here to help him relax his body and mind.

On the political side, in fact, the psychological pressure brought to Liu Bei is not small.

But after all, he is an older high-quality young man.

He still has the possibility of continuing to grow, just like when he was in Taiyuan, Liu Bei was a little tired, and now that he is in charge of the four counties, he is more organized and relaxed.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the increase in talent in hand.

Having enough people to help share the work has also allowed him to run more smoothly in the states under his control.

Slowly, he seemed to have realized Chen Chen's mood.

It's a good idea to have a more leisurely day, if you don't think about it further.

But he is Liu Bei, how can he be affected by the current mentality of being rich and peaceful?

He poured flowers and plants in his hands.

But what I think about is the world.

In fact, Zhang Yan made a rebellion in Jizhou, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled in Youzhou, and Liu Bei had the idea of sending troops to help.

However, it was unanimously opposed by Xun You, Chen Chen and others.

Affectionately speaking, it is true, but the problems involved in sending troops to help this time are not small.

Especially for Chen Chen, he knows what might happen next

He didn't want Liu Bei to be introduced into Luoyang as an external force like Dong Zhuo, so that he would fall into that quagmire and be unable to extricate himself.

Even if it is Liu Bei now, Chen Chen has no way to guarantee that he will be able to get a better future after leaving behind the foundation of merging states and going to Luoyang.

And during this time, you should not show excellent strength.

Especially to do this kind of thing.

As mentioned in the previous book, after the successive battles with Xianbei and the Xiongnu, the population of Bingzhou was even more scarce, the troops were insufficient, and they needed to recuperate.

What he fought was Chen Chen's Taoguang strategy for Liu Bei.

Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king.

Especially the world's merchants who were arranged before, now when they talk about the Xiongnu War, they say that the battle situation is extremely tragic.

There are also all kinds of oil and vinegar.

For example, because of the lack of troops, 800 death squads rushed into battle with 100,000 Hun cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated.

Liu Bei's generals chased the Huns and fought for three days and three nights.

Liu Bei was so beaten that he didn't dare to fight in the field, so he could only retreat in the city.

In the end, it was by luck that most of the troops were taken down by the Huns.

The big guys are all sighing that although this station has played the demeanor of a big man, it is also a pity that Liu Bei's sons are in the state.

It is said that he was beaten to the point that he was not left with one in ten.

On the bright side, indeed.

After the end of the battle between Xianbei and Xiongnu, in addition to the troops that had to continue to erode those idle areas in the west, there were many more combat-ready troops.

According to the arrangement of Xu Huang and Guo Yi, these troops were placed in various important locations and established guards.

And also re-recruited soldiers.

These guards are not allowed to be established to the outside world for the time being, and they all exist as local agricultural collectives.

They are hired by the state government and are half-trained and half-productive in normal times, maintaining a status of anonymous militia.

An area suitable for the development of agriculture, the health center is a peasant collective.

Areas suitable for the development of animal husbandry, such as the health centers around the Xihe Ranch, are herdsmen's cooperatives.

This time, Bingzhou can be regarded as truly using the strategy of turning troops into the people and hiding them in the people to the extreme.

In the land of the four counties, only the Yangwu Army, the Brave Army, the White Horse Army, and the Xiao Cavalry Army were left on the bright side.

The Yangwu Army was led by Guan Yu, the Fenyong Army was led by Xu Huang, the White Horse Army was led by Zhao Yun, and the Xiao Cavalry Army was led by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Fei continued to hide in the ravines and ravines as the king of the Taixing army, Cao Xing recuperated from his wounds, and Dian Wei reorganized Liu Bei's pro-army as a direct subordinate army of the general's mansion.

As for the previous Taiyuan New Army, they were all dispersed and became security guards in various places.

Well, this name was indeed taken by Chen Chen.

The security guards maintain their combat effectiveness, but they are not counted in the establishment, and their status is that they are officially hired farmers.

In this way, the state was merged, that is, the land of the four counties in Liu Bei's hands, and there was an army stationed in one county, which looked like a total of several thousand people in Yunzhong and Yanmen, and nearly 20,000 Yangwu soldiers in Xihe County and Hetao at most, and more than 10,000 local brave troops in Taiyuan.

The entire state appears to have less than 50,000 troops.

In fact, it really has to be fought, and the security guards and peasants everywhere change their clothes and lift up their weapons to be combat power.

Organizing an army of 100,000 right away is not a big problem.

Liu Bei packed up the equipment for watering the flowers, and he remembered the very vivid metaphor that Chen Chen described to himself.

Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but don't really think of yourself as a pig.

It seems that I still have to continue to check whether there are any links that have not been done well under my rule.

The newly appointed pastor of the state is so boring and boring now.

Get up every day to practice martial arts and water flowers.

Then I went shopping on the street to see if there was any public reaction.

Or just go out of the city to visit various health centers and townships, and do more things close to the people.

At night, I read a few books at night.

Let's be honest......

I'm ready to think about a woman.

Bah.

He wants to start a family, he wants to have a family of his own.

Now that he is in a high position and is twenty-eight years old, if he doesn't have a family again, in fact, not only is he worried, but also the civil and military people under him will also be worried.

Because if the leader has no heirs, if there is an accident.

This group will lose the backbone of its struggle.

Of course, it wasn't to curse Liu Bei or something.

Chen Chen knew very well that Liu Bei was the monarch of the Three Kingdoms who lived to the end, and Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Sun Ce all died earlier than him.

But others don't know.

And as far as Liu Bei himself is concerned, he doesn't like to pick wildflowers now, and he has been busy like a spinning top in the past two years, and he has no time to think about it.

Now that I'm free, I'll start thinking.

However, it is simple to find an ordinary concubine for Liu Bei now, but it is quite a problem to find a wife and concubine for Liu Bei.

Comrade Liu Bei does not have the so-called wife of the chaff, and if he wants to become his wife and concubine, he must be matched with virtue and appearance, and his background must not be low.

Otherwise, it is easy to be annoyed to death by the group of villains who are always concerned about the life of their leaders.

Liu Bei squatted at the door of his house, holding his cheeks in a daze.

It's annoying.

Why can't I meet the right girl?

Look at Chen Chen, how old is he, and the young couple go shopping every day.

Alas, the troubles of the state pastor are so simple and boring.
