Haidai is only Qingzhou, Wei, Ziqi Road, white graves, seashore wide reprimand. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Gong Salt, and the sea is only wrong.

"Shangshu? This sentence in "Yu Gong" shows the boundaries and characteristics of Qingzhou, east to the sea, west to Mount Tai, the land is fertile white soil, there is a vast saline-alkali land by the sea, and the tribute items are salt, fine arrowroot cloth and a variety of seafood.

Qingzhou is the cultural center since ancient times, the Spring and Autumn Period Qi is the first big country in the East, the trade and industry industry, the benefits of fish and salt, has the reputation of "the crown with clothes and shoes in the world", the Warring States period Qi Wei King created the Jixia School Palace here, become the core place of a hundred schools of thought.

But since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, it has become the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban, coupled with natural disasters, in the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops have crossed the border like locusts, destroying the land of Qingzhou over and over again, the officials died, the people did not dare to farm, or joined the Yellow Turban, or fled everywhere, resulting in barren land, green and yellow, countless starvations, and white bones all over the field.

After the Kwantung princes began to dump, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan opened up Qingzhou on the flank of Jizhou into the second battlefield, Gongsun Chan appointed Tian Kai as the history of Qingzhou Thorn, Shan Jing as the history of Yanzhou Thorn, stationed in the Qingzhou Plain State, Qi State area, and Yuan Shao to Zang Hong as the history of Qingzhou Thorn, and sent his eldest son Yuan Tan as the governor, and Tian Kai and Shan Jing to fight here, the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong in the east also allied with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu, plus Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought in the meantime, so that Qingzhou was even more devastated.

Qingzhou has five countries and one county, Pingyuan State, Jinan State, Le'an State, Qi State, Beihai State and Donglai County, a total of 65 counties, many counties are mostly out of control, mostly occupied by Yellow Turbans, Sect Thieves, Mountain Thieves and Pirates.

Pingyuan State is located in the westernmost part of Qingzhou, bordering Jizhou Qinghe Country in the west, Bohai County in Jizhou in the north, and Yanzhou East County and Taishan County in the south.

At this time, in the plain country and county government, Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, was dealing with political affairs, he was in the crusade against Dong Zhuo failed, he went north to seek refuge with his brother Gongsun Zhan, was listed as Sima of other departments, after the outbreak of the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the second year of the first peace, Liu Bei was sent to Qingzhou, followed the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai from the flank against Yuan Shao, because of the repeated establishment of meritorious service and promoted to the trial of the Pingyuan County county order, half a year ago led the plain state minister, it is considered a 2,000 stone member.

Liu Bei is very familiar with the plains, he served as the Gao Tang Lieutenant and Gao Tang Ling in Gaotang County under the jurisdiction of the Plains State before he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, this time he served as the Plains Minister with ease, and he was willing to defend against thieves and thieves on the outside, and he was willing to give kindness inside, even if he was not an ordinary person who was a scholar, he could sit at the same table with him, eat together, and would not have a choice, so Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in the Plains Country.

But with the defeat of Gongsun Zan in Jizhou and retreat into Youzhou, Liu Bei had no backup, and the situation became embarrassing, although he was a plain minister, but his subordinates were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they were nominally controlled by Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, compared with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Now Tian Kai and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have been fighting for two years, and they have won and lost each other, but the grain and grass are powerless, Tian Kai and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have begun to plunder each other's people, even if Liu Bei does not agree with this move, but he can't say anything, he can only ensure the stability of the plain country.

The only thing to worry about is that Gongsun Chan is retreating one after another, and he doesn't know how long he can do it, and he finally has a base, which Liu Bei cherishes very much.

It was almost dusk, and after dealing with business, Liu Bei had just gotten up, when suddenly a voice outside shouted: "Big brother, big brother, look who's coming!" Look who's coming! ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he knew that it was Zhang Fei's loud voice, and he knew that this third brother had always been anxious, and he tidied up his clothes unhurriedly.

As a rush of footsteps approached, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu strode in, but they still had a person with them, and when Liu Bei saw this person, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "Wenyuan!" ”

It was Zhang Liao who followed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in, and he smiled and said, "Brother, don't come to harm?" ”

"Virtuous brother, you ...... How did you come here? Liu Bei looked stunned, surprised and delighted.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The fourth brother is going to make a break in Qingzhou this time, and my brother is just trying his best to fight Yuan Shao." ”

Guan Yu stroked his long beard on the side, and his expression was quite happy.

"Get to the backyard." Liu Bei immediately took Zhang Liao to the backyard of the county government.

The backyard is where the family lives, Liu Bei married a wife in the plain, is a good woman, and after seeing Zhang Liao in the hall, he retreated, leaving two maids to pour wine for the four of them.

The four of them talked about the wine, Liu Bei was the biggest, naturally sat on the upper seat, talked about the situation after his three brothers left Luoyang, and asked Zhang Liao: "What is the official position of the virtuous brother now?" Why did you come to the land of Qingzhou? ”

Zhang Liao roughly said what happened to him in Hedong and Guanzhong, including the reasons before and after Dong Zhuo's death, of course, there were many things to hide, but even so, his bizarre experience still made the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang stunned, and even Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes widened, and his long beard was cut off several locks.

Liu Bei stood up and saluted: "I don't want to be a good brother who is already the commander of the state and the general of the expedition to the north who is ordered by the Son of Heaven, so it's rude." ”

Although he is the prime minister of the plains, after all, he was appointed by Gongsun Zhan, and his name is not right, which is far worse than Zhang Liao's appointment of the Son of Heaven, not to mention that Zhang Liao's status as a general of the expedition to the north is still above Gongsun Zhan.

Zhang Liao held Liu Bei up, put him on the upper seat, and said with a smile: "What is the general of Zhengbei, what is the state pastor, they are all floating clouds in front of the brothers, we only talk about love and righteousness, and what bullshit general he is." ”

"Haha!" Zhang Fei patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said loudly: "The fourth brother's words have reached my heart, it should be like this, drink, drink, and try again later." ”

"Didn't you just have a game, drinking, drinking." Zhang Liao waved his hand again and again.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes: "The fourth brother values love and righteousness, and he is really a member of my generation." ”

"Brother Xian." Liu Bei asked again: "The virtuous brother is the pastor of the state and the general of the expedition to the north, but why did he come to Qingzhou?" ”

Guan and Zhang also looked at Zhang Liao, and they were also very curious about Zhang Liao's intentions.

Zhang Liao grinned and sighed: "The younger brother was bullied by Yuan Shao's gang, he went to Zhongshan to borrow grain, and he didn't want to be ambushed by Yuan Shao in Jingcheng Road, and he died for a lifetime, and he was not angry in his heart, but he couldn't beat Yuan Shao in Jizhou, so he came to Qingzhou to take revenge, and stabbed Yuan Shao from the flank, making him not so comfortable." ”

Hearing this reason, Zhang Fei laughed, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu were a little confused, and after a while, Liu Bei said: "Brother Xian left the state, but he is not afraid of the state......"

Zhang Liao waved his hand: "When the younger brother was in the annexation of the state, he also handed over the affairs to the subordinates to do, and it was the same when he was not in the annexation, so it was not bad to take the opportunity to come to Qingzhou to play." ”

Liu Bei was stunned again, and could only smile wryly and shake his head: "Being a plain face for my brother is very busy, but the virtuous brother is at ease." ”

"I'm lazy." Zhang Liao grinned and casually made an excuse.

Zhang Liao's reason made Zhang Fei laugh even more, and even Liu Bei and Guan Yu couldn't help it.

In fact, Zhang Liao didn't want to attack Liu Bei, he now has Xun Yu, Xun You, Judge, Fu Zhu, Yuan Ji, Du Ji, Zhang Ji and other capable officials, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xu Rong and other fierce generals.

He only said his official position, and did not say how many people he had, in terms of talent and troops, he was now definitely the first among the princes, but he was determined to change the old and implement new decrees, and most of the troops were fighting against the alien race and Li Dao Guo Yan, so it didn't seem to show anything. If he really recklessly concentrates all his forces, it will be enough to push any prince sideways!

But Liu Bei is not so easy to fool after all, Zhang Liao immediately said: "The younger brother is helpless to come here, it can be said that both public and private are taken into account, Yuan Shao was born in Runan Yuan, and his protégés are all over the world, he is now sitting in Jizhou, and defeated Gongsun Zhan, the power is getting bigger and bigger, and the soldiers are unstoppable, once Qingzhou and Youzhou are captured, sooner or later they will threaten to the west and merge the state, so the younger brother came to Qingzhou, and wanted to unite with the three brothers, looking for an opportunity to beat Yuan Shao fiercely, keep Qingzhou, and let Yuan Shao have no time to take care of him. ”

"Hmm." Liu Bei believed Zhang Liao's words and said with a smile: "This is very good, now Yuan Shao is powerful, and the virtuous brother is here to keep Qingzhou." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, and said: "It is not easy to protect Qingzhou, now Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, and Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao just collected 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers, after the reorganization, there are also fifty or sixty thousand, the power has risen sharply, he is one with Yuan Shao, one and the other, if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shuzai to the south, and defeats Tao Qian to the east, Qingzhou will sooner or later become his and Yuan Shao's food, and it is necessary to think about it from afar." ”

Liu Bei's expression became solemn, although he has great ambitions and is good at employing people, but since his debut, he has been running around, and there are no strategists under him, this time he just intuitively feels the crisis, but he has never analyzed the situation from this overall situation in the world, at this time, when he heard what Zhang Liao said, he felt the severity of the situation he was in, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "What do you have to do with the virtuous brother?" ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The elder brother is still guarding this plain, and the younger brother is going east to take Jinan and Qiancheng, developing secretly, and treating each other as horns, advancing and retreating together." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and then muttered: "There are many yellow turbans and sect thieves in Jinan and Qiancheng, and it is not easy to figure it out, and the virtuous brother must avoid Qi Land, so as not to conflict with Tian Kai." ”

"This is natural, the little brother is just an attempt, whether it will succeed or not." Zhang Liao said with a smile: "When the time comes, I can't say that I still need the help of the second brother and the third brother." ”

"This is natural." Liu Bei responded.

Guan Yu nodded: "My brother advances and retreats together, sharing blessings and misfortunes." ”

Zhang Fei laughed even more: "I've been bored for a long time, but the eldest brother has a lot of scruples, and the fourth brother wants to say it when he fights, and I will definitely go and kill a bloody way out." ”

"So, thank you, three brothers." Zhang Liao raised his glass and respected, with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to help, his planning in Qingzhou would be easier.

After drinking two more cups, Guan Yu finally couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, you are the Taishou in Hedong, have you ever seen ......?"

Seeing the worried look of this always cold and arrogant man, Zhang Liao laughed: "This is natural, after the junior brother arrived at the Taishou of Hedong, he killed a few thorns first, and the second thing was to go to Xie County to meet his sister-in-law and nephew. ”

"How are they?" Guan Yu's voice trembled.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Brother, rest assured, when the younger brother went, there was a Lu Yi who wanted to find trouble, the younger brother chopped him with a knife, and then bought a house for his sister-in-law in Anyi, bought a few maids to serve, and put his nephew into the school, followed the great Confucian Sima Hui to learn literature, followed the younger brother to learn martial arts, he is a great talent who can do both civil and military in the future, maybe he will be above the elder brother." ”

Guan Yuhu's body trembled slightly, and he bowed deeply to Zhang Liao: "Thank you, brother Xian." ”

Zhang Liao helped Guan Yu up, shook his head and said: "This is outside, we are brothers, we are brothers, and we are like brothers, the younger brother is lucky to be the Taishou of Hedong, how can I not take care of my sister-in-law and nephew!" ”

Guan Yu didn't say anything, but saluted again.

At this time, Liu Bei raised his glass and said: "What the virtuous brother said is not bad, but he is incompetent for his brother, and he has been running around for more than ten years without accomplishing anything, but he has made the two virtuous brothers aggrieved, which is really ......."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Why did the eldest brother say this......
