The speculation of the 008 family
Liu Bei also distributed part of the Yellow Turban Army to the soldiers as tenants, and distributed them according to the standard of 200 mu per household. The man who was killed by the Yellow Turban Army and his whole family was also recruited by Liu Bei as a soldier, and the tenant assigned to him was his enemy, as for how he concocted the enemy, it was none of Liu Bei's business, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army was organized by Liu Bei to Tuntian, this time it was not so generous, and each acre of land had to say six layers of rent. After arranging all this, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to go to Cui's to borrow grain.
said that it was to borrow grain, in fact, Liu Bei also asked Zhang Fei to bring a large amount of property seized from the Yellow Turban Army, which was more like buying grain, but now it is almost a troubled time, and grain is worth more than gold and silver treasures, so borrowing grain, if the Chen family is willing to sell, Liu Bei will naturally buy it at a high price. As for why Zhang Fei was allowed to go, instead of Guan Yu, it is also considering the personality relationship between these two people, Liu Bei's evaluation of Guan Zhang in history is: Zhang Fei respects the gentleman and does not care for the villain, and Guan Yu is proud of the soldier and the doctor. These two people have opposite personalities, but the relationship between the two is excellent. Let Zhang Fei go is thinking that Zhang Fei's character can better communicate with the gate valve, Liu Bei himself is afraid to go, firstly, Liu Bei is a traverser who is not familiar with the rules and etiquette of this era, and secondly, tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves are here, and they are really not at ease when they leave.
"Yide, you must make it clear to the Chen family, if it is not for the sake of the elder brother, it is really more than 10,000 yellow turban thieves here, so he does not dare to leave. To make the Chen family understand that if there is a shortage of food, these tens of thousands of people will make trouble, and even the Chen family will not be able to get benefits. Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei and said. Zhang Fei said that he understood, and Liu Bei was relieved to let Zhang Fei go.
When Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei returned and took out a white cloth and began to write on it, and finally wrote a piece of it densely with symbols that outsiders couldn't understand. Of course, if someone who understands Hanyu Pinyin sees it, they can immediately understand what is written on it. This white cloth is called the Three Kingdoms Strategy by Liu Bei, and it is the Three Kingdoms Strategy cheats that Liu Bei is afraid of having a vague memory in the future, so he took advantage of the fact that he has just crossed the best and clearest memory now.
On the left side of the text, there are characters that record the well-known historical figures of the Three Kingdoms era that they can remember, and many of them also carry addresses, such as Changshan Zhao Yun, Chen Liudianwei, Donglai Tai Shi Ci, Xu Chu of Qianjun, and a bunch of cattle in Yingchuan. On the right is written events, recording major historical events in the Three Kingdoms era, such as Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, etc., although some may not be accurate, but most of them are fine.
At this moment, Liu Bei is looking at the character, the characters above are divided into two kinds by Liu Bei, one is a wealthy family, the other is a poor family, carefully analyzing which person above can be recruited by himself now, whether it is recruitment or not conscription, Liu Bei is not qualified to recruit now. There are two kinds of wealthy families, one is the later princes, and the other is the princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who fight the world by themselves, which naturally cannot be recruited. Another kind of betting around and serving the family of the Ming Lord, this is not what Liu Bei can recruit now, if Liu Bei does not measure himself to recruit a top gate valve such as Yingchuan Xun's family, it is simply a humiliation, not to mention recruitment, even if Liu Bei comes to visit people's homes, it is estimated that he will not see the main figures of the Yingchuan Xun family.
Although Liu Bei said that he had the name of a clan, he was only a county order now, so he could only recruit people from the cold door, and the characters in the cold door were also divided into two kinds, one was a local tyrant such as Xu Chu of Qian County, gathering strong men and thousands of clans to form a village to protect themselves, unless Liu Bei became a high-ranking official or an official in his local area, it was not something that Liu Bei could recruit as a county order.
In fact, the current Liu Bei is qualified to recruit only a lonely low-level person like Chen Liudianwei, which is the current Liu Bei can recruit. Thinking of this, Liu Bei didn't say much, and wrote eight names, namely Liu Yuanqi, Liu Bei's uncle, Jian Yong, Liu Bei's fellow countryman, Dian Wei, Chen Liujiwu, Zhao Yun, Changshan Zhending, Tai Shici, Donglai, Xi Zhicai, Yingchuan, Guo Jia, Yingchuan, Xu Shu, Yingchuan. Liu Bei smiled bitterly, these eight people are barely qualified to recruit now, among them, Jian Yong is his fellow villager, and he may come bigger, and his uncle should be able to send someone to help, Dian Wei may be okay to say, as for the others, they can only talk about trying their luck. Especially Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, two characters who can make friends with Xun Yu, it is still a question whether they can look at themselves. At that moment, Liu Bei asked people to ghostwrite eight letters, in which they detailed their desire and admiration. Sixteen horsemen were chosen, and each of them took some gold and silver gifts, and went to meet them.
Then Liu Bei wrote an official letter to the plain minister, theoretically saying that the plain is the territory of the king of the plain, so the highest administrator of the plain is the plain minister, Liu Bei's official letter is a meritorious service, with the power of a county to exterminate tens of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban, how to say that it is also a great achievement, the second is to cry poor, after all, suffered a military disaster, the loss is not small, the third is to ask for money, suffered a heavy loss from the military disaster, and naturally asked Shangguan for relief, although he knew that it was impossible to send anything down, but don't let yourself pay taxes again, In fact, Liu Bei's only purpose in writing the official document was to get rid of the taxes that should be paid this year in a reasonable and legal manner.
After a few days, Zhang Fei came back, Liu Bei was teaching children to sing nursery rhymes, yes, it was to teach children to sing nursery rhymes. "Didn't you immediately attract Xu Shu to come to take refuge, since this is the case, you can naturally take the medicine according to the prescription. Uncle Liu Huang doesn't dare to say it now, it's no problem to call Xuande Gong, "Gao Tang Ling, Xuande Gong, since here, the people are abundant." Within a few days, this children's song spread all over Gaotang County.
Zhang Fei didn't come back alone, he not only brought back five hundred grains and grass, but also brought back the children of the Gao Tang Cui clan. Liu Bei inquired carefully about the experience, and then understood. According to Zhang Fei's statement, he went to the Cui family in the Tang Dynasty to tell him about his idea of borrowing grain, and the head of the Cui family first carefully asked Liu Bei about the process of breaking the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and then let Zhang Fei rest for a day in the name of Zhang Feiyuan's hard work, and when they met again, they were a lot more enthusiastic, not only did the number of promised to borrow food exceed Liu Bei's expectations. Liu Bei originally planned to borrow 3,000 pieces of grain, but the Cui family directly lent 5,000 pieces, one pound is a stone, a total of 120 catties, about 250 grams per catty in the Han Dynasty, and 30 kilograms of grain in one hut, and he also sent his nephew to come and defect.
Liu Bei's heart is bright, I am afraid that his 30 cavalry broke the matter of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army let the Cui family know, so he made a bet in secret, or made a speculation on himself, in history, this kind of high-ranking family, the family gate valve speculation everywhere is simply countless, the most bullish is the Langya Zhuge family, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang, all his life for the Shu country to do his best, and then die. In fact, the Zhuge family became the prime minister in Shu, the general in Wu, and the general in Wei, and even the Yuan family in Runan speculated on Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo didn't understand the amorous feelings, and heard that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu rebelled and killed Yuan Kui's whole family directly.
The name of the person who came is Cui Meng, the word Bogong, the current head of the Cui family is Cui Lie, who once achieved the position of the third duke, the Gao Tang Cui family was also a side branch in the Cui family, and the person who came was also a side branch in the Cui family, Liu Bei is now only a county order, although he has shown a certain military talent, but it is the side branch in such a side branch that can come to speculate, as for the five thousand Hu grain, it is said that it is borrowed grain, in fact, Liu Bei also gave money. However, after all, this represents that the scholar class has begun to realize that there is Liu Bei in the world, and Liu Bei is not a minority who went south to engage in ethnic integration, and there is no tribe to rely on.
As soon as Liu Bei saw Cui Meng, his eyes lit up, and he saw a green shirt, with a handsome face, just standing there was Gu Pan Shenghui, naturally with majesty, people knew at a glance that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, Cui Meng saw Liu Bei Shen Shi and said: "Gao Tang Cui Meng has seen Liu Xianzun." ”
Liu Bei hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Liu Bei, no talent and no virtue, short-sighted wisdom, although he wants to uphold the righteousness in the world, but the governance of a county is particularly insufficient, lest he lose the prestige of his ancestors. "Anyway, you don't need money to make a fool of yourself, just say a few good words first.
Cui Meng was also overjoyed when he heard this, he was originally the nephew of the head of the Cui family in the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally knew the purpose of his coming at this moment, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops crossed the border, and the momentum was so huge, the Cui family naturally would not know it. Then the Cui family sent someone to ride a fast horse to inquire about the news, and it happened that Zhang Fei went to borrow grain and told Liu Bei about breaking the yellow scarf, so the head of the Cui family decided to borrow grain, and he also received the money anyway, and he could still settle his favor, so why not do it. Later, he sent himself again, Cui Meng was still a little reluctant, and said: "Liu Bei is also a person, but the weaver and the seller of shoes, my family has been a hairpin for many years, why bother to serve a county order." ”
His uncle taught him a lesson: "Emperor Gao is no more than a pavilion chief in Peixian, and Emperor Guangwu is no more than a farmer in Nanyang." Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is not quiet, and the Quartet is in an uproar, it is where heroes come into play, I look at Zhang Fei, a real strong man, Liu Bei can use it, how can he be an ordinary person. Don't doubt it. Cui Meng just came, and when he saw Liu Bei like this courteous corporal, his heart was slightly balanced.
If these words reach Liu Bei's ears, he will definitely scold a person who is old and good, don't look at Emperor Gao, Emperor Guangwu because he is a commoner, many people think that they are self-made, in fact, Emperor Gao can pull up 3,000 people together, but it is much stronger than Liu Bei, Sun Jian was at this level when he raised his army, Cao Cao's first army was only 5,000 people, who thinks that Sun Jian Cao Cao is an ordinary civilian, where is this self-made, so when you see Liu Bei has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to help, in fact, you can see that Liu Bei has a certain foundation, So Liu Bei is not self-made, although he is not as good as Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Liu Bei said: "The county is a county, the county lieutenants are all appointed by the imperial court, and they dare not be good at it, I want to take the main Bo Du Liucao affairs, and I would like to ask the public to be the main Bo, I don't know what Mr. wants." ”
In addition to the county Cheng in a county in the Han Dynasty, the county lieutenant was appointed by the imperial court, as well as the meritorious Cao Peng, the court Cao Peng, the prison Cao Peng, the thief Cao Peng, the main book, the main record, is for the six Cao. These six Cao are actually at the same level, but since Liu Bei let the Lord Bo do the six Cao things, then the Lord Bo is naturally one level higher, and it just so happens that most of the six Cao vacancies in the county, Liu Bei will use it as a favor. In fact, this is Liu Bei learned from the Ming Taizu a trick, this master is actually the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, although the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty exercised the power of the prime minister, but there was no name of the prime minister, which made the cabinet have to rely on the imperial power. If you want to replace this main book with a county officer. The consul general's affairs, in charge of the affairs of a county's documents and cases, the affairs of the prison, and the power to picket and supervise the behavior of officials in the county, compared to the imperial court, will not become a single minister, once encountering such a power minister, will not the king's power be hollowed out. Only if the level is not high, can we rely on the county order to control Zhu Cao, so that the power is always in the hands of the county order. Cui Meng is a person in the gate valve in the end, although Liu Bei wants to use and rely on these people, but he can't hand over all the power, otherwise, even if Liu Bei can win the world, there will be a gate valve to share the world with Liu in the future.
Cui Meng didn't think much about it, originally the county Cheng, the county lieutenant was appointed by the imperial court, and Liu Bei could only recommend it at most, so Liu Bei himself was the master of the six Cao affairs, which can be said to be full of sincerity, and he saluted at the moment and said: "So, thank you for the county honor." ”
Liu Bei happened to go outside the city to watch the training of soldiers, so he first invited Cui Meng to the small school outside the city to watch the army drill.
