A group of people out of Shu Road, then went straight to Liangzhou Guzang, the target of this trip is Gu Zang's Jia Xu, Jia Xu was born in the Western calendar 147 years, and Huang Zhong is the same age, in the strategy of the poisonous man said, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty Jia Xu twice used the trick to help Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao. It's just that people are more sensible and self-protective, because in many cases, Jia Xu does not take the initiative to contribute.

A group of people went to Guzang to look for two days, found Jia Xu's residence, after the visit, it was concluded that Jia Xu had served in Zhang Ji's army, and now Liangzhou was in charge of Long, so the group rushed to Long, and arrived at Liangzhou in less than half a month.

Originally, Liu Bei and Zhang Ren also planned to visit their senior brother Zhang Xiu, but considering their future actions, they would directly kidnap Jia Xu, so they broke off the idea of visiting Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Jizhi's place was easy to find, it only took half a day to find out the location, and it took two more days for colleagues to find out Jia Xu's appearance, residence, and daily activity route, so that he could directly tie Jia Xu up outside Longcheng, and then take him directly to a broken temple in the countryside.

"Who are you waiting for, why are you kidnapping me, you know that I am a strategist under General Zhang Ji, if something goes wrong with me, you will definitely be unable to eat and walk around." Jia Xu said sharply.

"Jia Xu, Ziwenhe, a person from Guzang in Liangzhou?" Liu Bei said with a slight smile.

"Now that you know it, let me go as soon as possible, and I will not be blamed for the past."

"It's just one problem, and after you have chosen it, you will let you go."

"Ask."

"I am Liu Bei, the word Xuande, after King Jing of Zhongshan, there is a lack of a strategist in the army, are you willing to do it? I have all your family in my hands. Think about it! Liu Bei asked gloomily.

Just thinking about it for a while, Jia Xu directly knelt down and worshiped Liu Bei, recognizing Liu Bei as the main father.

Seeing Jia Xu like this, Liu Bei showed a wise smile, and at the same time opened the map he was carrying in front of Jia Xu, "Wenhe, look at this map, this is the world map I drew with various records." This is my big man, I know that you are a wise person to protect your body, and I specially found a place for us to stand, this is Yizhou, and I want to take this place next year as a foundation. At that time, I will protect your relatives as much as possible. Liu Bei told Jia Xu his intentions, and through history, Liu Bei knew that Jia Xu was a wise person to protect himself, so the first way to subdue Jia Xu was to let Jia Xu have no worries, so that Jia Xu's family had no worries. Only in this way can Jia Xu really plan for himself, and Jia Xu is also an unruly person, even if Jia Xu is brought here in a rude way now, as long as he can really protect his family in the future, Jia Xu will naturally do his best for himself.

Jia Xu also lived up to Liu Bei's expectations, saw the map, heard Liu Bei's explanation, and immediately bowed to the ground again, and called Liu Bei the lord with sincerity.

After that, everything was easy to do, Liu Bei accompanied Jia Xu to go back to Guzang again, took Jia Xu's family directly with him, and then set off, preparing to pass through Shu and then go down the river back to Moling. Of course, along the way, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and Huang Zhong's family members were all picked up and went back.

……...……...…………

At this time, it was already the summer of 179 in the Western calendar, and at the end of 178, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that the bureaucrats recommended talents to each other and received a considerable amount of gratitude from the recommended officials, so he established the West Garden at the end of 178 years and sold the official titles publicly.

In this context, Tian Feng personally rushed to Chang'an with four capable subordinates, and asked the four of his subordinates to find Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong respectively, spend money to dredge various relationships, and finally spent a total of more than 100 million yuan to buy the previously booked official positions for Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Lu Bu and Xu Huang respectively.

As soon as Tian Feng got the official seal letter and documents, he rushed back to Moling without stopping, and it took only four months before and after, and in the summer of 179, Tian Feng rushed to Moling.

When Tian Feng rushed back to Moling, Liu Bei's subordinates gathered together, when they saw the appointment documents and seals of the four people, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Lu Bu and Xu Huang were all excited, although this official position was not right, but now all the official positions in this world need to be bought with money, Liu Bei spent money to buy official positions for the four of them, it is okay, as long as they are given a platform for them to take revenge in their lives, at this moment, the loyalty of the four to Liu Bei has risen to a point where they cannot speak. Since there was still some distance to take office, everyone agreed to wait for Liu Bei to see if they could wait for Liu Bei to come back before taking office.

In the past two years, everyone has been operating a paper mill prosperously, and it is not a problem to make money every day, and at the same time, a group of strategists have already formulated a detailed Yizhou development and governance plan a year ago. And the generals trained the army with all their hearts.

In the past two years, Jian Yong has been adopting orphans all over the country, the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and orphans of the right age are also very easy to find, but due to financial problems, Jian Yong has adopted 3,000 pairs of orphans in recent years, according to Liu Bei's requirements, the adoption of orphans is in accordance with the adoption, that is, to adopt a boy, you must adopt a daughter, to a certain extent, to maintain the equality of orphans between men and women, so that these orphans can become families as soon as they become adults.

In the past two years, the orphans adopted by Jian Yong at the beginning have also been married under the mediation of a group of civil and military personnel, and also arranged a courtyard for these married families, such families have more than 3,000 households, and more than 3,000 families are unified with men to serve in Liu Bei's army, exercise in the morning, learn writing in the morning, continue to exercise in the afternoon, and learn simple art of war in the evening.

Due to the lack of books, the study of thousands of people is effective but uneven, those who learn well are quite familiar with the art of war, and it is enough to be a captain, and those who learn poorly can only know most of the Chinese characters, and know a little about the art of war.

The adopted women will arrange other affairs, such as cooking, laundry, silkworm raising, weaving, etc., so that all of them have income. Among the 3,000 couples who have been married in the past two years, some already have children, and because of Hua Tuo's professional medical team, there are basically no women who have died of illness because of giving birth. All the orphans sighed at Liu Bei's benevolence and were really loyal to Liu Bei.

…………………………………………………………………

The words were divided into two sides, Liu Bei and his entourage picked up Jia Xu's family from Chengdu and then rushed to Chengdu along Shu Road, picked up Zhang Ren's family, and then rushed to Ba County, and then picked up Yan Yan's family, saying that Zhang Ren had just been married for a few years and had a wife and mother in the family, and there was no one else, and Yan Yan had a pair of children, and the daughter was now less than ten years old and Huang Zhong's son was the same age, and her name was Yan Shuang; He also has a son, who is five years old and looks like Yan Yan, called Yan Rui.

After receiving Yan Yan's family, Liu Bei hired two big boats to go down the river and rushed all the way to Moling.

On the night of receiving Yan Yan's family, a group of two big boats went down the river, and they were about to leave Ba County, when dozens of small boats suddenly appeared in front of the first boat to block the way, and on the first small boat stood a young man in a brocade robe who was about eight feet tall and quite handsome, standing under a brocade sail.

"This river has been cut off by us, if you want to cross this river, you need to leave the money to buy the road, otherwise we will kill the boat and do it ourselves." The brocade-robed young man spoke.

"I don't know who you are waiting for, this big man is openly robbing under the bright and clear world, and he doesn't look at who we are, leave quickly, and we are not to blame for the past." Huang Zhong stepped forward and replied.

"You and other forty or fifty people with a hundred family members want to stop me from four hundred people?" The brocade-robed young man asked.

Liu Bei, who was standing on the side, saw the brocade-robed young man and the brocade sail, Liu Bei couldn't help but think about whether it was a Jinfan thief, whether it was the general Gan Ning, if it was really Gan Ning, and let himself get Gan Ning, it would be a big fortune, so Liu Bei walked to the side of the ship and asked: "Is it Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the leader of the Jinfan Rebel Army?" ”

The brocade-robed young man was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly: "Do you know me?" How do you know my name?"

As soon as he heard the answer, Liu Bei was happy, so he was thinking about how to bring this General Gan under his command. "I have heard that Gan Xingba is well-known, and I have not had the opportunity to see it since I traveled to Bashu, and now I want to return by boat but I am fortunate to see Gan Xingba, I am very lucky, Xingba wants to take my gold and silver, all of them come to take it, and I will never hesitate." After finishing speaking, he asked Huang Zhong to take all the gold and silver to the side of the ship, although it was all the money, and Liu Bei was not poor, but there was really not much money that he usually carried around.

Seeing Liu Bei's move, Gan Ning was slightly wrong, and he didn't know what happened to Liu Bei! Then he asked, "Who are you, and why do you know my name?" ”

"I am Liu Bei, the word Xuande, after the King of Zhongshan Jing, the special family will travel to Bashu in the future, heard the name of Jinfan Ganning, want to visit, but can not meet, if you want to get on the boat to drink a cup of turbid wine. As for the money, Xingba can take it all. If Xingba feels that the money is not enough, he can go with me to get it, but the distance is a little far, and my family lives in Moling. And your brother, come with me to fetch the gold and silver, and when the time comes, I will hire a boat to bring you back. ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Gan Ning was a little moved, there are rivers and rivers from Bajun to Moling, even if there is any accident, his eight hundred brothers can snatch a big ship at any time and kill back to Ba County, so Gan Ning asked again: "I have eight hundred brothers, if they all go with you, how much gold and silver can I get?" If not, what will you do?"

Liu Bei was happy when he heard it, and thought in his heart, get on my boat, can you still escape from the palm of my hand?" If it is eight hundred brothers, I can divide a boat for these brothers, and Xingba can lead forty or fifty men to make a boat with me, but it is a little crowded, and when the time comes, it will be convenient for me to hire another boat, so that I can arrange for my family. ”

There were 5,000 taels of gold a day, and Gan Ning and his subordinates' eyes were shining with golden light. After a little discussion, he agreed to Liu Bei's request, and agreed to bring someone to take Liu Bei's boat early tomorrow morning, and Liu Bei borrowed a small boat to go back to Ba County and hired two more boats, because he had not yet left Ba County, and the time to travel was enough.
