Chapter 573: The Current Situation in Runan

When Liu Yu was busy educating his son, Liu Bei, who was in Runan, could describe the predicament he was facing.

After coming to Runan, Liu Bei finally knew why Cao Cao was so happy to hand over such a big county as Runan to him.

The current Runan County is no longer the rich place it used to be, and in Liu Bei's words, he has never seen a more chaotic place than Runan County.

In the past, Runan was a family with a lot of mouths, as the Taishou here, the benefits and filial piety received every month were actually too much, a Runan Taishou did it, and the money of a lifetime could not be spent, so that the position of Runan Taishou was once marked by the Emperor Lingdi at a high price, and every time it had to go through fierce bidding to stop, the one with the highest price would get.

Today's Runan County is no longer the same.

Yuan Shu's family is in Runan, where the Yuan family's power is the largest, and it steadily suppresses other forces. With the existence of the Yuan family, the other families in Runan did not dare to go too far. After the defeat of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the Yuan family quickly declined. The other families in Runan, who had long been red-eyed, immediately stabbed their knives at the Yuan family, and quickly divided all the interests of the Yuan family in Runan.

As the saying goes, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. After getting the benefits of the Yuan family, other families found themselves for the first time that they could actually use the annexation of other families to develop and grow, and it was so fast and stable.

So a great rebellion between the families unfolded in Runan County. The families of Runan-gun began to form several groups, and they relied on their own in-laws to carry out various annexation and attacks against other families. The result was a big riot. The families fought each other fiercely as the riots of the common people.

In the end, all the Runan families received losses, and no one could benefit. And the people of Runan are suffering, and the families above are fighting, and the common people are exploited by cutting leeks. The people couldn't live anymore, and many bold people took risks and fell into the grass. Many more are starving to death on the streets. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

At this time, the remnants of the Yellow Turban, Liu Yu and Gong Du, seemed to see the opportunity for the rise of the Great Liang Sage. The two gathered the old Yellow Turban Department, and when the people of Runan were in pain, they shouted the banner of reviving the glory of Taiping Dao, and called on the people to wage war against the family and the imperial court.

The family of Runan was killed by surprise, and many families were destroyed. Cao Cao would not tolerate the Yellow Turban Rebellion under his rule, and he sent a large army to suppress it, but Liu Yu and Gong were powerless to resist, so they chose to abscond into the mountains of Runan. After the army sent by Cao Cao left, Liu Yu and Gong both returned to Runan again and killed the then Runan Taishou in the Zhizhi. At this time, Cao Cao had no way to send a large army, so he could only let the Yellow Turban wreak havoc in Runan. In order to protect themselves, the local families of Runan organized their own armed forces to protect themselves, which led to the fact that Runan County became a place of great chaos, with various armies, grass bandits, hooligans, etc. constantly fighting, and becoming a place under anarchy. The people of Runan are in desperate need of a hero to save them.

It was in such a background that Liu Bei was arranged by Cao Cao to Runan and became a hero in the eyes of the people of Runan.

Liu Bei didn't want to be this hero, he wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as he came to Runan.

But if he doesn't have a foothold, the little strength under him Liu Bei will slowly disappear.

However, Liu Xie has already released Liu Bei's appointment to. All over the world, if he Liu Bei doesn't go, he will be disloyal, which is a huge blow to Liu Bei's reputation.

Considering his reputation, in desperation, Liu Bei could only take the little force he had to enter Runan City.

When he really arrived in Runan City, Liu Bei knew what a mess was. The treasury of Runan was empty, not even a single mouse. The people were even more yellow-skinned, waiting for Liu Bei to bring them a mouthful of life-saving food.

Fortunately, Liu Bei looted some money and grain last time he was in Xuzhou, and he could barely keep his 5,000 soldiers and horses from starving. As for the work of the people, Liu Bei could not be satisfied.

But the little conscience in Liu Bei's heart was constantly tormented by the expectant eyes of the people, and Liu Bei finally tightened his belt and divided a little grain to cook into gruel for the people.

But this is not a way, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to lead the soldiers into the mountains to hunt and obtain prey. Zhang Fei's harvest was limited, and Liu Bei's only remaining grain was almost gone.

What shocked Liu Bei even more was that all the forces in Runan looked at Liu Bei unpleasantly, since they openly attacked him, the Taishou recognized by the imperial court, and they gathered together.

Liu Bei naturally forgot the particularity of Runan County, and now the various forces have formed a balance after years of fighting, and suddenly another force has mixed into Runan County, and the balance has been broken at once.

The leaders of several forces privately made an agreement, no matter what conflicts and disputes they had before, they would put it down first, and kill Liu Bei, an outsider, first. Anyway, it's not like they haven't done it before.

Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to go out hunting with some of his troops, which made these local snakes see an opportunity. They organized a strong force to attack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly suffered such a blow, and fell into a heavy siege under the condition of unfavorable defense.

Liu Bei was grief-stricken and indignant, could it be that he Liu Bei died here like this? Dead at the hands of this nobody?

In Liu Bei's most helpless situation, a man appeared, he rode a tall horse, ate a big knife in his hand, and his red face was very eye-catching, and suddenly killed outside the encirclement with a strong army, constantly impacting the army that surrounded Liu Bei.

In this scene, Liu Bei seemed to see a once familiar scene. The military general in the distance was too similar to Guan Yu, and that momentum and figure made Liu Bei involuntarily excited!

Could it be that Guan Yu came all the way to save him? If so, that's great.

It's just that Liu Bei was disappointed in the end, the military general in front of him was not Guan Yu at all, I saw him break through the encirclement and come to Liu Bei, and said: "Liu Yuanjun don't panic!" A certain family came to help! ”

Liu Bei finally saw the appearance of the person who came, and he could see that there was indeed a shadow of Guan Yu in the distance, but when he got closer, it was another person.

Others came to help him when he was most in danger, and Liu Bei was very grateful and said: "Dare to ask the name of the strong man." Liu Bei was grateful. ”

"Let you take it a little, and wait for a certain family to deal with this bunch of miscellaneous pieces!" The general rushed to the encirclement with his troops.

Liu Bei looked at the other party so brave, and couldn't help but admire: "What a strong man!" ”
