Chapter 54, Qingzhou
"Thank you Tao Gong, I am grateful, there are indeed some books, they are Ziang's belongings, and they are well deserved", Liu Bei is talking nonsense there, otherwise he can't explain where the book comes from, Liu Bei is really grateful for Tao Qian's generosity, no matter what, in this troubled world, people have grain and grass in their hands, they can not buy you, or depress the value of the book in your hand, but Tao Qian did not do this, and agreed to exchange grain and grass without mentioning the value, which shows that Tao Qian treats Liu Bei sincerely.
Liu Yi was also a little surprised, Tao Qian's cheerfulness was beyond his expectations, at this time Liu Bei is simply a fat sheep to be slaughtered, as long as Tao Qian is willing to sell grain and grass to Liu Bei, as long as the price is not too outrageous, Liu Bei has no choice but to buy, but Tao Qian doesn't even ask about the price, at first glance, he doesn't want to lower the price, whether he wants to befriend Liu Bei for convenience in the future, or simply have a good relationship with Liu Bei, it is worthy of admiration from this aspect of dealing with people.
"Xuande, come with me to see the grain and grass, see how much you want, just get a few books and books in exchange", Tao Qian got up and took Liu Bei and the others to the granary.
The process of exchange was very smooth, the quality of the grain and grass was also good, and there was some jerky in it, which made Liu Yi's evaluation of Tao Qian rise a few points, and Tao Qian only took four or five volumes symbolically, of course, Liu Bei did not take out all the books, it is not a matter of small gas, the wealth is not exposed, and all those books are taken out to cause trouble, in this era when a book is worth a thousand gold, you pull a cart of books, which is enough to arouse everyone's greed.
"Tao Gong stopped, send it to this line, today's kindness will never dare to forget, if one day Tao Gong has a place to prepare, Bei must do his best to repay Tao Gong's great kindness", Liu Bei bowed down and made a big gift, no one has ever been so good to him, Liu Bei is really moved, how many white eyes have been received, how many setbacks have been encountered, but Liu Bei still has to greet with a smile, because the weak are not qualified to brush their temperament.
"Xuande doesn't have to do this big gift, the old man sees that you are very fateful, this is the world of the Han family after all, Xuande you are ambitious, kind-hearted, and will become a great weapon in the future, the old man is just pushing the boat down the river, giving you some help within his ability", Tao Qian stepped forward to support Liu Bei, and smiled with relief as if Liu Bei was a kind elder, Liu Bei's performance made him very satisfied, no matter whether he could use it in the future, at least people really remember your kindness, and Tao Qian thought that Liu Bei would not be mediocre.
"Tao Gong ......"
"Xuande ......"
The two held each other, their eyes slightly red.
Liu Yi patted his head helplessly, and here he is again, Liu Bei's feeling of being too deep into the play as soon as he is excited is very sensational, but he also brings the people he talks to together, which does not make people feel any sense of disobedience.
Liu Bei Taoqian said hello again, and finally said goodbye reluctantly, everyone embarked on the journey, Qingzhou was approaching, and there was no need to wander on a horse anymore.
…………
"Is this Qingzhou", Liu Bei muttered, looking at the desolate land along the way, the people didn't see much, and the scattered yellow scarves saw a wave, and the other party saw that Liu Bei and his party had strict discipline in the army, and the most important thing was that there were many people and did not dare to move forward.
"Xuande Gong, Qingzhou is not as good as other states, there are yellow turbans everywhere, I am afraid that some of them will fight in the future, and the yellow turbans will not allow us to develop steadily, we must develop while fighting", Liu Yi explained forward, the situation in Qingzhou looks really bad, and the desolation makes people a little desperate.
Liu Yi ordered someone to bring the map, Xi Zhicai and the others were around Liu Yi, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also came over to look at Liu Yi, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Zhicai, do you think Qingzhou is full of yellow turbans, where should we go", Liu Yi said with a smile, strategists either want to make suggestions, or set up a great merit as a vote, but also show their talents, generally strategists are waiting to settle down to analyze a wave of the general trend of the world, determine the direction of development, Liu Yi doesn't want Xi Zhicai to do that, there is nothing more important than military exploits.
"Ziang has a heart, then Zhicai is not welcome, the right should be put into the Xuande Gong's name", Xi Zhicai understood what Liu Yi meant, this opportunity is to make Liu Bei pay more attention to him, Liu Bei attaches great importance to the development of Qingzhou, Liu Yi's talent has been tested, and Xi Zhicai has not yet had any merits, Liu Yi gave him the opportunity to show friendship.
"Everyone, please look at the map, let's pass by Xuzhou, the place we are now in is Chengyang County, here is the edge of Qingzhou, relatively stable, according to the intelligence of the states, there are at least 100,000 yellow turbans wandering in Qingzhou", Xi Zhicai took his hand to draw on the map, quite a momentum of pointing out the country, Liu Bei heard that at least 100,000 yellow scarves also had a headache.
"Chengyang is located on the edge of Qingzhou, connected to the territory of the Beihai Xiangkong, with our current strength, it is impossible not to annex the Yellow Turban in a short time, we should occupy Chengyang as soon as possible, while collecting the Yellow Turban while developing, and Beihai is the first, Qingzhou Yellow Turban is a lot, we have enough food and grass, Xuande Gong only needs to release the news that the Yellow Turban is also the people of the Han Dynasty, if the past is not to blame, we will be able to subdue a part of the Yellow Turban to strengthen us, half a year later, we will have the ability to take Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and start our take-off", Xi Zhicai finished talking about the previous plan and looked at Liu Yi and them.
"What Zhicai said is not bad, we don't have the ability to swallow the yellow scarf at present, just do what Zhicai said in the general direction, and wait for half a year to directly send troops to sweep away the yellow scarf, and Qingzhou's fat can be completely swallowed, and at this speed, it is no worse than other princes", Liu Yi said with a smile, agreeing with the strategic direction of Xi Zhicai.
"Okay, then do this", Liu Bei also felt that it was feasible, closing the Yellow Turban could not only reduce the amazing number of the Yellow Turban Army, but also increase his own strength, half a year, Liu Bei felt that he could wait completely.
Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, that is, Beihai Taishou, in ancient times, in fact, it was called Xiang, Liu Yi did not say something in his heart, I am afraid that Kong Rong will not wait for them to develop for half a year to provoke a moth, Kong Rong's literary talent really has nothing to say, to military talent will not dare to compliment, the most important thing is that he still can't recognize himself, he feels that he is very capable of fighting, history records that Kong Rong once took the initiative to sneak attack the Yellow Turban thief, was almost surrounded by the Yellow Turban, if it wasn't for Tai Shi Ci to ask Liu Bei to help, at that time Beihai Xiang was afraid that he was going to be replaced, this time I hope Kong Rong will not die like that, Leave Liu Bei more time for development, and when the time comes, sweep away the yellow scarf, and do whatever you want.
"Ziang, you have chess pieces in the yellow scarf", Xi Zhicai came over and asked, when discussing just now, Liu Bei revealed that there was a conversation Liu Yi said that there were hidden chess in the yellow scarf in Qingzhou.
"It's not a dark chess game, is it?"
