"Ming Gong! Ming Gong! My brothers are also your soldiers! Ming Gong, you can't ignore it! If Ming Gong doesn't care, can't he let the brothers drink the northwest wind......"

Hearing Liu Bei ask about the source of livelihood of his soldiers and horses, Lu Yi suddenly became anxious, how can you ignore this.

If you really let Lu Yi be responsible for himself, he won't have any other means of making a living except for robbing!

"How can this be my soldiers and horses," Liu Bei waved his hand, "They are all your men and horses, and they are your orders, so naturally you will be responsible for providing for them." ”

"This, this ......" Lu Yi was speechless when he heard this, and said in his heart How did I meet such a second goods, and I actually admitted that I couldn't control my soldiers and horses, so I didn't give out food and grass, which would be a shame.

Seeing Lu Yi for a long time, he didn't say anything, Liu Bei waved his hand and asked him to go down and think slowly first, and his worry about Lu Yi also faded a little, it seems that Lu Yi is a simple and brave man, and it seems that it is still relatively easy to deal with.

"Gentlemen, you are willing to work with you to achieve great things. In the future, it will be reported to the Son of Heaven and the people will be reassured. It's worth what you've learned in your life! ”

After getting rid of several major generals, Liu Bei began to attack Yuan Shao's staff again.

To Liu Bei's surprise, people from Hebei, including Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and people from Yingchuan such as Guo Tu, actually agreed to submit to Liu Bei after asking Liu Bei to bury Yuan Benchu well and allowing them to go to worship. However, Xu You, who was considered by Liu Bei to have a backbone in the back of his head, was reluctant to appear to Liu Bei, and said that he would leave after worshipping Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei did not make it difficult.

Only then did Liu Bei realize that Yuan Shao had not been with these people for a long time, and the two sides were still acting according to the unspoken rules of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty. The so-called protégé and old official, the upper limit is that there is no upper limit, and there is no problem to do anything. Like resignation, filial piety, and even martyrdom, you can do anything, and it will be appreciated by the world. As for the lower limit, except for the act of killing the Savior like Lu Bu, which will be despised by the world, there are no other mandatory requirements. Gao Gan is bent on death, but because he is Yuan Shao's closest relative, even Gao Lan, a member of Gao Gan's same clan, has no unusual look.

And now that the world has not been in turmoil for a long time, many people are still acting according to the previous rules. If these people resign because of Yuan Shao, they will definitely be praised by the people of the world as loyal ministers and righteous men. Do nothing, take refuge in the new master, and no one will blame you.

Seeing that the scholars in Jizhou were so knowledgeable and interesting, Liu Bei was also overjoyed, and immediately ordered a banquet to be set up, preparing to invite everyone, and everyone was overjoyed and thanked him.

After everyone left, Fu Zhu suddenly came back and said to Liu Bei: "Junhou, my family is in Yecheng. Yecheng Zhengnan, strong nature, I am afraid that he will defend the city, and will not easily surrender to the prince, and please don't easily inform Zhengnan of the news of our waiting, lest he hurt everyone's family on a whim, but it is not beautiful. ”

After hearing this, whether it was a civil servant or a military general, everyone nodded yes.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, how could he forget that this master was there.

He was a little surprised and said to Fu Zhu and the others: "Are all your family members in Yecheng, why, could it be that Yuan Benchu kept all your family members as hostages?" ”

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Liu Bei sighed: "Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and people in the sea are looking forward to it, so they don't want to act like this." It is already ridiculous not to listen to the plans of the generals, not to believe the words of the staff, but to listen to a stargazer. actually took everyone's family members hostage, how can he not be defeated? Hebei righteous people, how many, only Yuan Ben can not make good use of it, if you can make good use of it, I dare to look at this place! ”

Before the words fell, one person had already hidden his face and left, Liu Bei looked surprised, and someone on the side whispered: "This person is Cui Juye, who is from the Cui family of Qinghe, and is the stargazer." ”

Liu Bei nodded, didn't say anything, just a magic stick, and left.

After the banquet, Lu Yi finally figured out that Liu Bei had no obligation to raise his people.

In the end, in desperation, Lu Yi had no choice but to ask Liu Bei for advice, Liu Bei said: "My Qingzhou Army has no military salary, and they all use the land to raise soldiers for military salaries. If the general's soldiers and horses are to do the same, I will naturally scatter and resettle the soldiers. If not, the general's men and horses will be supported by the general on weekdays, and when the war comes, he will give money according to the size of the merit. ”

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, one is to completely incorporate the men and horses of Lu Yi into the establishment of the Qingzhou Army, and the other is to use the men and horses of Lu Yi as mercenaries. If you want to dominate the world, this kind of mercenary can also be used.

After thinking about it, poor Lu Yi couldn't make up his mind, so he had to say: "Let me think about it." "Liu Bei has nothing to do.

A few days later, Liu Bei came to Yecheng with his men. At this time, Liu Bei not only had 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers, but also collected Yuan Shao's troops, not only did not have less, but more than 30,000 people, and the number of people had reached 80,000. I thought that Yecheng was not a trouble, but I didn't want to judge it, so I didn't go out and kept the city.

Liu Bei sent a hundred loud people, holding Yuan Shao's banner, and shouted outside the city, only saying that Yuan Shao had died in battle, why should you resist stubbornly to the end, and increase casualties!

It is the part of the trial, and there are many people who hold this theory, Yuan Shaodu is dead, and the trial is to defend the city, and who is it for. The trial said: "Although Yuan Gong died in battle, there are still three sons. And the two sons have grown up to be human, what does it mean to be ownerless!? You don't need to say much, just keep it to me. ”

Yecheng broke faster than imagined, Yuan Shao was already dead, except for the trial, no one else was willing to die in vain. That night, someone opened the city gate and put Liu Bei into the city.

Looking at the trial, Liu Bei sincerely persuaded: "Mr. Zhengnan, Yuan Benchu is dead, and Mr. has been defending Yecheng for him since then, which is enough to be worthy of Yuan Benchu's kindness." Mr. is a great talent, why should he accompany Yuan Benchu to the funeral. ”

The judge didn't answer, but said, "I just want to die." ”

Liu Bei persuaded again, and said: "If you are uncertain today, it is the time for heroes to use force, Mr. is wise and brave, and he should go out of the mountain to serve the world." The martyrdom for Yuan Benchu is just for the loyalty of one person, if he serves the Son of Heaven, he will return the people of the world to a peaceful life, and protect the people of the Han Dynasty, which is the act of great loyalty and righteousness. ”

The judge said: "Ming Gong's kindness, he also knows it, but he is only grateful to Yuan Gong's kindness, and he can't help but report it." Now I want to die, that's all, nothing else. ”

Liu Bei was silent, and after a while, he said: "Loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, the killing is unknown!" I want to rejuvenate the Han dynasty and recreate peace for the world, but I am afraid that there are not enough loyal ministers in this world, but I am afraid that there are too few righteous people in this world. Judging Zhengnan, the righteous man of the world, how can I kill you. ”

Cheng Yu on the side suddenly said: "Junhou, if Zhengnan fights against Junhou like this, he can still not die, then why do you demonstrate in the world?!" If in the future, there will be hundreds of counties in the world, and everyone will fight against the army of the prince like this, just wait for the defeat and surrender, and then shirk it with loyalty and righteousness, and you can avoid death! How do the princes want to prosper the Han family, and they must not have the kindness of this woman! Please think twice! ”
