Chapter 191: Liu Bei of the Plains
In fact, most people will have a kind of lazy mood, that is, they will be lazy until the matter is in a hurry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info until it really comes to the time when the eyebrows are burned, will act impatiently.
Wang Xuan is the same, in the past, when governing the government affairs of the county, I don't know how many times he was belittled by the people and heroes in the county because of his slow action. Wang Xuan himself knows all about this, but it is still the same every time, not that he hasn't thought about changing it, but this has formed a habitual inertia, and some can't be changed.
Until now...
Maybe this time even Wang Xuan knows how urgent the matter is, he is usually regarded as an ordinary mediocre official, but this time he has burst out with extraordinary ability to act.
Almost at the same time that he sent an envoy to persuade Pei Yuanshao, he had already sent people to various counties to seek supportββββββ he was naΓ―ve enough to persuade several other counties to send troops to help.
Now the six counties of Qingzhou, Beihai and Donglai are all Yan Shao, the Qi country is in civil strife, Le'an is his, the plain attitude is ambiguous, and the Jinan country has always been neutral. Of course, doesn't this mean that they are willing to be annexed by Yan Shao, just like Wang Xuan, didn't Jiao He stand on Yan Shao's side when he was still alive in the past?
When there is a dispute over interests, even great favors are useless, and human beings are inherently ungrateful.
Even if the people below will remember Yan Shao's kindness, the big people above will use their goldfish-like memory to forget it in an instant, and sometimes the kindness is too great, and it may turn into hatred...
Qi civil strife, there is no need to count on it at all, only Pingyuan and Jinan can be counted on, but if they show that the carriage and horses are on Wang Xuan's side, they will inevitably offend Yan Shao, which is what they don't want.
Naturally, they will also know who to be on at this time, at least Wang Xuan is still confident that he can let them see the reality clearly. But this process will take a lot of time, and what Wang Xuan lacks most is precisely time.
So it's better to settle for the next best thing and choose a simpler solution...
Seek their assistance in materiel...
Maybe it's a bit difficult to get them to send troops directly, but if they only send some supplies or even a small number of soldiers and horses, it may be much faster/.
Considering that the three have common difficulties, they will probably be willing to help as well. If you can't get it, even the Qi State, which is in the midst of civil strife, will be willing to help.
This is also a favor they must help, otherwise what should those thieves recruited by Pei Yuanshao do? Even if there are only 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses available in the 100,000 Yellow Turbans, it is definitely not something that a single Le'an County can support, which is why he seeks assistance from several other counties...

In the plains, more than a dozen people are carrying their burdens out of the city gate, and the top is empty, and it is obvious that today's things are still selling very well. These people have some dishes on their faces, which is also what the people of this era often have, but their expressions are very happy, and it is obvious that the local governance of the Plains Country is still relatively good.
In fact, since the arrival of the new Minister of Plains, the law and order in the Plains has gradually improved. The people did not dare to say that they lived and worked in peace and contentment, but life was finally stable.
The so-called contentment and happiness, for the people in peaceful days, maybe they will consider more things. Living is said to have more pursuits, which is also the origin of the full warm thought**, since you can eat your stomach, you will naturally think about something related to hehehe.
But for the people in the troubled times, there are really few pursuits, all they want is to be able to eat, have a peaceful life, and ensure the safety of themselves and their families, that's all.
It's a pity that such a small and humble wish still can't be guarded many times.
At the end of the dirt road in the distance, there were some sparse pedestrians, the sun in the sky was gradually setting, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on people seemed very comfortable, and even some muddy land on the ground began to dry out, but it made it easier for people in straw sandals to step on.
Maybe it's a good day, and when a few of them talk to each other, they still have smiling faces on their faces, well, the expressions on their faces are a little subtle, or a little obscene.
These people are simply discussing some obscene topics there, and everything is so ordinary and peaceful.
On the city wall, the general in charge of guarding saw this scene, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Maybe for those big people, these things in front of them seem to be nothing worthy of their attention, but these are what those ordinary people really pursue, and this is the path he is pursuing.
It's just that...
Just as a smile was on his face, a small black dot suddenly appeared at the end of the road in the distance.
The speed of the small black dot was quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the people.
The people on the road didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen, and they were frightened by the astonishing speed of the horses and threw them on both sides of the road in a panic, and some of them even fell to the ground in a panic.
"Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
Finally got up from the ground and wiped the dirt from his face, a fairly young man couldn't help but curse angrily.
If he hadn't dodged faster just now, he was afraid that he would have been knocked down by the war horse, in that case, it would not be comparable to the embarrassment in front of him, and it would be a bad thing to say if he didn't get it right, even if his bones were broken.
Putting aside the medical technology of these years, there is definitely no medical insurance anyway, and if it is really made like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed for a year and a half. If you accidentally get a cripple out again, I'm afraid that your life will be ruined.
The villagers who were close to this young man on the side also scolded one after another, anyway, the knight had already gone far away, even if they scolded loudly, it was useless. However, the older ones looked at the distant knights, and their brows furrowed.
The same was true of the general on the city wall, who was at first a little displeased at first when he looked at the galloping fast horse.
Because the newly appointed Plains can be regarded as loving the people like a son, such a thing could never happen in the Plains Country. However, looking at such an urgent way of hurrying, after being displeased, this person had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
"Isn't something big going to happen?"

The fast horse that came was the messenger sent by Wang Xuan, perhaps Wang Xuan had explained it very clearly to them before leaving. As heralds, they traveled as fast as they could, each carrying two fast horses before setting out, so that they could travel day and night.
After many days and nights in a row, they finally reached their respective destinations as quickly as possible.
Before they reached the city gate, several guards had already stopped them quickly.
Fortunately, the messenger didn't want to break through, so he grabbed the reins and stopped inside the city gate.
"Please report quickly, the envoy of Le'an County asks to see." Throwing something resembling identification to the guards at the city gate, the messenger had spoken loudly.
The guards inside the city gate glanced at each other, and after making sure that there should be nothing wrong with things, some people were already holding their fists. "Please, I'll report later."
There were also soldiers who helped to take the reins and lead the horses to the side, so as not to block the gates.
"Trouble little brother, but I have some water to quench my thirst," the messenger dismounted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spoke to one of the guards.
"Please wait..."These guards can also arrive, although the people of Le'an County can't control themselves, they are also at the level of envoys, and they don't want to be rude. Soon someone came with a bowl of water and handed it to the messenger.
The messenger didn't pay attention to anything anymore, but took the bowl and drank it, and in a short time he had drunk all the water in the bowl.
In order to reach the destination as quickly as possible, he can be said to have traveled day and night. Not to mention a good night's sleep, not even a chance to take a good sip of water. Now that I'm finally at the place, I'm going to take a breath before I'm summoned.
The rest of the guards did not bother him, except for a few who were left to watch him, and the rest continued to stay at the city gate. It's just that everyone still has a lot of discussions about why Le'an County sent a messenger to come inexplicably.
Most of them are guessing that something big is happening, but it makes these people's faces stained with a layer of melancholy/
Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to rush over and lead the messenger to the plain minister.
The plain is not a very large county, and it was one of the hardest hit areas of the Yellow Turban, and the people's livelihood was relatively poor. If it weren't for the fact that the past two years have improved somewhat, I'm afraid that there will be starving bones on the side of the road.
But even so, the city is relatively depressed, especially the mansion of the plain phase is even simpler. It can even be described as such, there are things that should be there, and there are no things that shouldn't be there.
Fortunately, the envoy didn't pay much attention to this, but just followed the guide inside, and after walking through a few more courtyards, he soon saw the plain phase in the main hall.
"Le'an envoy Li Qi pays a visit to Pingyuanxiang..."No one needs to be introduced, Li Qi has already bowed directly to the person in the middle of the hall.
I saw that this person's ears were hanging down his shoulders, his hands were above his knees, and he was a stranger, but his face was broad, which made people feel good, but he was a benevolent gentleman.
On either side of him stood two men in the prime of life, one of whom had a long beard and a pair of red phoenix eyes, and the other had a leopard head and ringed eyes, even if he just looked at people very calmly, it would make people think that he was staring at him. Coupled with the burly physique, it is easy to create a layer of tremendous pressure coming out.
These three people are the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang who once met Yan Shao in the Tiger Prison Pass, as the three brothers who are famous in history, these three people were stationed in Luoyang with Gongsun Zan after the incident in the Tiger Prison Pass.
Just when the three of them thought that the princes would take advantage of the situation to kill Chang'an, exterminate the traitors, support the young emperor, and re-establish the Han family, they saw an extremely ugly side. The princes were stuck and disagreed with each other, especially Sun Jian, who once claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han family, secretly hid the jade seal and was unwilling to hand it over, causing the coalition to fall apart and Liu Bei to be completely disappointed.
Then he followed Gongsun Chan back to Hebei, when passing through the plains, he was left in the plains by Gongsun Zhan, first to make a plain county order, and then to do the plains of the plainsββββββ anyway, at this time the words of the Han Emperor are basically useless, of course, this plain phase is not Liu Bei himself, often the Han Dynasty himself praised that he will never do this kind of criticism, this plain phase is actually Gongsun Chan for him.
The previous Pingyuan County Order was just a kind of trial training to see if he was capable, and if he was capable, he would be promoted. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see this matter, no matter whether Liu Bei has the ability or not, as long as he doesn't show too much intelligence, this plain minister will not be able to get out of his hand. He is Gongsun Zhan's junior brother, and Gongsun Chan is his own person, this Gongsun Chan is ambitious, who will he arrange if he doesn't arrange it?
Moreover, at that time, the plain happened to be a time when the dragons were leaderless, and the arrangement was very smooth.
At first, there were still some people in Pingyuan who were opposed, but Liu Bei may be a little less capable, but when it comes to charm, few people can compare, plus a benevolent heart, which soon made Pingyuan happy and convinced. In particular, the people are even more grateful to him. This also made Liu Bei's position in the plains more and more stable, plus there were still one or two available scribes around him, and life was not bad.
It's just that when I was dealing with government affairs today, I suddenly got an urgent report, saying that the envoy of You'an County was here and had something urgent to see him.
Liu Bei was not too busy, so he took the time to come to the main hall to see this person.
"Hurry up, why do you need to be like this, I don't know what Wang Taishou has?" Personally stepped forward to help the messenger up, Liu Bei asked with a smile, and a spirit of benevolence soon came to the surface, giving the messenger a feeling like a spring breeze.
After comparing his lord with the person in front of him, the messenger couldn't help but sigh a little, he didn't forget his mission and mission, and sighed for a while before speaking.
"Don't hide it from the envoy, my lord sent the villain this time to ask the envoy..."
To be reasonable, in fact, this letter is quite heavy, after all, most of the letters in these years are the kind of books. Paper is still a trending thing, but it's still a niche thing. Carrying such a thing on his back along the way is also a great burden for this messenger.
Liu Bei took the book and looked at it carefully. There are dense small words written on it, but fortunately, the notes are neat and powerful, and they don't look very bothered, but they have been seen clearly after a while.
Just looking at the information above, Liu Bei's heart became a little unsettled.
At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked over, and Zhang Fei's loud voice had already shouted before Liu Bei's side came.
"Big brother, what does Wang Taishou of Le'an ask you for? Could it be that Le'an has suffered another natural disaster and needs food? β
Guan Yu was not as reckless as him, but he still leaned forward and looked at Liu Bei inquiringly. "Big brother? This? β
Liu Bei shook his head and didn't say much, just gave the book to the two of them, and after a while, the content on it had already been reflected in the eyes of the two.
