Chapter 55 , the development of the princes
191 is a special year, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and the princes from all over the world rose up and began the road to hegemony.
Dong Zhuo has a strong voice in Chang'an, holding huge power, and there are Li Ru's suppression below, as well as elites such as Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he has no worries at all, and he is addicted to wine all day long.
In this year, Gongsun Du declared self-reliance in the remote frontier area of northern Youzhou, self-proclaimed Liaodong Hou, and ruled the northern part of Youzhou, while Gongsun Zan of Youzhou continued to resist the attack of foreign tribes, and hated his boss Youzhou Mu Liu Yu more and more.
In this year, Yuan Shao seized the Yizhou of the state and Han belly, and led the state pastor, Chang'an did not react to this, and Yuan Shao's good friend Cao Cao settled in Dongjun, in the south of Yanzhou, officially began to recruit troops and horses, with clear intentions, and it is rumored that Xun Yu of the Xun family regarded Cao Cao as the master of the world and defected to Cao Cao to conspire with the world.
This year, other states were also surging, Liu Yan's advice allowed all states to recruit troops justifiably, and control the power of soldiers and horses, Liangzhou Ma Teng Han continued to love and kill each other, and the troubled times have begun, and no one can be spared.
Under the city of Chengyang, Qingzhou, Liu Bei and others were greeted by the local officials in Chengyang, looking at the thin officials in front of them, as if a gust of wind could blow them down, Liu Yi felt that the officials of this era were much better than those fat-headed, big-eared and full of pig's heads in later generations, although it may be because Qingzhou is too desolate and there is no oil and water to fish, but the first impression on Liu Yi is still good.
After entering the city, settle the army and go straight to the granary, even if he was a little prepared in his heart, but when he saw the clean granary floor, Liu Yi was also a little crying and laughing, it is estimated that even the rats will not patronize here.
"Xuande Gong, Qingzhou was not like this, since the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and retreated, Qingzhou has become the base camp of the Yellow Turban, three days and two ends came to loot, the people are miserable, they dare not go out of the city, the cultivated land is even more deserted, no matter how solid the granary is, it will be empty if you can't get in and out", the official who followed Liu Bei to explain the situation in Chengyang in Qingzhou said loudly, it has really fallen from heaven to hell in the past two years, fortunately Liu Bei came, and the officials in Chengyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ziang, the situation is even worse than we expected, Qingzhou is really at the end of the road, I don't know if our grain and grass can hold it", Liu Bei looked at the empty granary and was a little speechless.
"Xuande Gong rest assured, we only need to hold on until the autumn, and now it's too late to organize the cultivation of Chengyang", the situation in Qingzhou is really too bad, fortunately, Xuzhou Tao Qian gave enough food, it should be able to survive, and when it settles down, it will begin to collect the displaced people and resume production, otherwise the food will really not be enough to eat.
At this time, Liu Yi and others came back from a circle in Chengyang, sitting in the conference hall, Liu Bei sat on the top seat, Wenchen sat on one side, and the military general sat on the other side.
"Xuande Gong, there are three things we must do now
First of all, the most important thing is that the situation in Qingzhou is worse than we imagined, we can't last two years with our grain and grass, we must gather the displaced people as soon as possible, resume production, start farming, and recover as much as we can, so that when autumn comes, we will not be without a little grain income
The second thing is that we are seriously lacking in talents, not to mention the top talents, at least there must be people who do things, remember that Xuande Gong has some good friends, you can recruit them, you are now sitting on a state land, I believe they will understand what this means
The third thing is that there are too many yellow turbans in Chengyang County, and some need to be cleaned up, and those who can be subdued will be subdued, and those who can't be subdued will be arrested, or rushed to other counties, now we just need to take care of Chengyang County", Liu Yi stood up and said, the three things are urgent and need to be done, Liu Yi cannot be lazy, all the princes have entered the stage of development, Liu Yi can't let the yellow scarves in Qingzhou delay them for a year.
"Big brother, the matter of beating the yellow scarf is handed over to me, you only need to give me five hundred, not eight hundred elite soldiers, Zhang Fei of Chengyang's yellow scarf will definitely not let them hinder our development", Zhang Fei said with a look of impatience, compared to doing these developments in the city, he still likes to go out to fight yellow scarves.
"Okay, then let the second brother and the third brother each lead eight hundred elite soldiers, start to sweep the yellow turbans from the left and right of Chengyang, and tell those displaced people along the way that Chengyang accepts the displaced people to enter and protect their safety", Liu Bei said, a total of only 3,000 troops, and directly divided into 1,000 and sixteen, which shows that Liu Bei has great trust in Zhang Fei Guan Yu.
"Yes"
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu got up and answered, obviously very happy, and Guan Yu showed a little smile on his face.
"As for Ziang's recruitment of talents, I will arrange it as soon as possible, I believe they also know that they are in Qingzhou, maybe it won't be long before they come to defect, and they will worry about Zhicai and Ziang more in the past few days", Liu Bei bowed to Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai, he is not used to the identity of the monarch now, and opened his mouth to arrange.
"Obedience"
Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai hurriedly got up and said, now it's not the same as before, since you want to assist Liu Bei, you have to look like a courtier, Liu Bei doesn't pay attention to etiquette, they can't ignore it.
"Be prepared to arrange the daily affairs of those homeless people in Chengyang, if there is something you don't understand, I will come to consult you, by the way, Zilong is also idle, you can take Zilong to deal with government affairs, he can also read words, and can deal with simple affairs", Liu Bei continued to explain, compared to dealing with government affairs, Liu Bei is still willing to deal with the people, the homeless people are the foundation of Chengyang's development, Liu Bei can't be sloppy, and there are Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai sitting there, just ask them when they really can't deal with it.
"Xuande Gong didn't say that we would also pull Zilong, now there is a serious shortage of people, and Zilong can't be idle", Xi Zhicai said with a smile, Liu Bei handed over Chengyang to them as soon as he opened his mouth, which flattered Xi Zhicai, he thought that he would give Liu Yi a hand, after all, he had just defected to Liu Bei, and he didn't make any contributions.
What Xi Zhicai didn't expect was that it was Liu Yi who asked to directly let Xi Zhicai take charge of the right to deal with government affairs, firstly, Liu Yi did not have such a heavy desire for power, and he was too troublesome to deal with too many things, and secondly, Liu Yi knew that Xi Zhicai was talented, and sooner or later he would be famous all over the world, there was no need to waste a great talent in vain, and he was not necessarily perfect in that he was tired and tired, so he talked to Liu Bei and asked Xi Zhicai to deal with government affairs with him.
