Chapter 404 Liu Xuande takes office as Gao Tang Ling
"That Tian from Yanmen, do you remember the eldest brother?" Liu Weitai asked.
Gongsun Zhan thought for a moment and nodded, "A little impression, what are you talking about, which Tian clan escaped from Yanmen County?" ”。
"Yes, it is they ~~ In the past few years, they have developed vigorously in the Wangping area, and there is already some climate."
Gongsun Yue on the side also said, "I also heard that the small families in the Wangping area have been wiped out by them a lot, and their power has grown a lot~~."
Gongsun Zhan said in surprise, "There are such things, I didn't expect this Tian clan to really have some skills" He has been taking care of military affairs all the year round, and he no longer cares about some small clans in the local area, not to mention this kind of remnant clan who is attached from elsewhere, he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xiami also has the strength to turn over.
"Hehe~~ This kind of thing, how can it be achieved without the help of big forces behind it" Liu Weitai said with a deep smile.
"The second one said that there are other forces behind the scenes? How did I not know!! "Gongsun Chan couldn't figure it out, how could there be so many forces in Liaodong who wanted to intervene, and one was deeper than the other.
Liu Weitai sighed and shook his head, his eldest brother is outstanding in martial arts, and he is also a rare general in leading troops to fight, how can he be a little too rigid in his political mind, if there is no help from everyone, it is really difficult to succeed, this is also the result of his concentration and unity, and it is impossible to say whether it is right or wrong.
"It's not too late for the eldest brother to know now, this Tian clan doesn't have much strength, but there is one person in the clan who is quite prestigious, so it will develop to the current trend."
"Tian's~~Are you talking about Yuan's staff~~Tian~Feng~".
"It's him, this person is the eldest son of the Tian clan, and the next patriarch is none other than him, and the Yuan clan has long been eyeing the Liaodong area, and it is reasonable to send the Tian clan to control this area, with Tian Feng's wrist~~ It is not easy to kill a few small families" Liu Weitai said.
Gongsun Chan only felt that the problem was serious at this time, and frowned, "Then what should we do?" ”。
"They want to earn~ so they ask them to earn it, anyway, we don't have time to take care of these areas at the moment, so we can also use it in turn~~ As long as they don't make their family bigger, the eldest brother can send someone to talk about cooperation with the Tian family, and ask them to fight with your foreign race, even if they are not defeated~~ You can also delay it, so that they don't have time to make trouble for us."
Gongsun Yue laughed and said, "This is the best, there will be an injury when the two tigers fight, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
"Hey~~~ They are not two tigers, at best, they are just dogs eat dogs~~".
"Hahahaha~~~~" A sound of laughter came out of the tent, and the soldiers in the battalion heard it very clearly, and the soldiers' hearts were shocked in vain.
And just when Gongsun Zhan and others made a plan, Liu Bei also ushered in a turning point, in the hall, Liu Bei and others turned over and bowed down, in front of a member of the imperial court official oral reading appointment, Liu Bei was officially canonized as the Gao Tang Dynasty Order because of his meritorious work in suppressing thieves, although it is still a county order, but it is officially canonized by the imperial court, and it is not this kind of partial place, but a prosperous city in Qingzhou, which can be regarded as guarding the clouds and seeing the sun.
Liu Bei excitedly took the letter of appointment, hurriedly prepared a banquet for the envoy, and then sent a generous gift to do filial piety, as an official has done more, he will naturally learn some rules, if not, when the envoy goes back and recite a few bad words about him in front of which eunuch, it must be the same as before.
The envoy looked at a small package in his hand, although he couldn't see it very well, but this kind of nameless place at the foot of the mountain, he was satisfied with such a harvest, and immediately excused himself from the banquet, and turned around and left without saying a word, this kind of place where birds don't, he didn't want to stay a little longer, and he might have a better errand waiting for him to go back quickly.
"Hahaha~~~ Finally a decent subordinate came, this time I Liu Bei must do a big job" Seeing the messenger go away, Liu Bei was not only angry in his heart, but was overjoyed that he left as soon as possible.
"Xuande ~ This trip to Qingzhou ~~ You still need to be fully prepared, I heard that there are many yellow turban remnants in Qingzhou~~ This trip is not easy" Xiang Lang cautiously reminded on the side.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Juda doesn't know, I have some relationship with this Qingzhou Taishou, although I haven't seen him for a long time, I expect him to treat me well, so this time Qingzhou takes office, there will be no risk~~ You can rest assured."
Xiang Lang saw Liu Bei say this, his heart also relaxed, and he nodded and responded, "This is the best, then let's rectify it and set off."
At this time, a white-clothed Confucian man outside the door stepped in, it was Liu Beiyi's brother, Peach Blossom Valley advocated flying Zhang Yide, this time he came back and heard about the Black Mountain Dazhai and couldn't help but be annoyed, only said that it was not the time to leave, and he would not leave easily next time, otherwise it would almost cause a catastrophe.
But fortunately, he brought back five hundred elites from Peach Blossom Valley this time, this is the real elite, the valley soldiers of Peach Blossom Valley are all trained by the four protectors, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes are not opponents, not to mention the battlefield bravery, but the number is limited, and they can only act as a guard, and they will be handed over to Chen Zhi for the time being.
So this time when he took office in Qingzhou, Liu Bei didn't bring many soldiers and horses, only brought these five hundred elite guards, plus the elite cavalry trained by Chen Zhi, there were originally three hundred, but after the last battle, there were only more than 100 people left, and it took a few months to barely make up for 200 before it could be regarded as a team.
Liu Bei took these 700 soldiers and horses, and accompanied a few staff members to bid farewell to Liu Hui of the same clan, and set off to Gaotang in Qingzhou to take office.
But on this day, Liu Bei and others walked along the way, and gradually stepped into the boundary of Jizhou, the mountain roads gradually decreased, the plains were wider, their horizons were broadened a lot, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
"Where is the boundary ahead?" Liu Bei asked.
Xiang Lang replied, "I'm going to Wuyi soon."
"Oh~~" Liu Bei looked at the sky and said, "It seems that we are going to rest outside Wuyi City tonight, I hope there will be a Zhuangzi to tell us to stay, otherwise we will have to set up camp and set up tents, so it won't be troublesome."
Although he only brought 700 people, it was also considered an army, so Liu Bei and his entourage were not convenient to go into the city to live, and could only look for villages and towns to borrow, and now in this turbulent season, who is willing to let this kind of officers and soldiers full of fierce atmosphere into the town to live, every time they encounter villages and towns, they will be stopped by the escort team and asked, and then they are told that it is inconvenient to enter, so most of the time, Liu Bei can only live in tents with the soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can eat and sleep in the open.
Zhang Fei persuaded him every time he could go to the city to live with a few staff, and how could Liu Bei give up the soldiers to live alone, he didn't have much capital, and Liu Bei didn't want to lose the hearts of the people, so he didn't care about Zhang Fei's persuasion, but just lived faster with the soldiers.
"Stand in front of me!".
While walking, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, followed by a loud shout, everyone looked back in surprise, and saw a large group of people and horses running in the distance, there were thousands of people, the leader of the person held a big spear in his hand, wearing armor, extremely powerful, looking like a member of the city guard.
Liu Bei immediately ordered the team to stop, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that there are still some decent generals in this Wuyi City, but I am afraid that they are also here to inquire, and I hope that everything will be fine.
The team approached, and the general led by him had a handsome face, and he should not be very old, but he shouted with a sophisticated look, "Are you waiting for the reinforcements sent by Xindu?" Why is it so slow? ”。
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, it turned out that they regarded themselves as reinforcements, but since they said that they were reinforcements, there would be war here, could it be that there were thieves who rebelled and attacked the county seat?
Liu Bei gave an official salute and said, "I'm afraid this general is mistaken, I went to Qingzhou Gaotang to take office, and I happened to pass through here, not Xindu's reinforcements."
Laijiang's face tightened, and he said slightly angrily, "This dog officer, he has not sent reinforcements for a long time, do you want to see if I am waiting to die?" If I catch him, I will make him look good~~ You said that he was a county official, but he has a certificate? Then he asked Liu Bei again.
"This is the last document, officially appointed by the imperial court, and it can't be faked," Liu Bei shook out a piece of paper and said.
The general looked at it immediately and returned it to Liu Bei, nodded and said, "In this case, you just have to hurry and don't stop, this place has not been peaceful in recent days~~ I bumped into thieves, I am afraid that I can't even save my life as an official, and I will meet again" After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Bei to ask more, turned the horse's head and galloped away.
Although Liu Bei has doubts in his heart, he does not want to make extraneous branches, he is only five or six hundred people at best, if there are really thieves, how to resist, not to be afraid, but to do what he can, the thieves here have their own officers and soldiers here, and they are sideways, and even the local officials are sometimes dissatisfied.
"Brother~ Jizhou is the nest of the Yellow Turban, and there are many remnants of thieves, so let's be careful, and try to preserve our strength," Zhang Fei reminded on the side.
"Yide is right, we don't have much capital~~ If we can save a little, let's hurry up, don't be bumped into by thieves" Xiang Lang and others naturally agreed.
Everyone didn't dare to stop much at the moment, and immediately ordered the team to move forward, and they didn't even have the intention of staying overnight, they just wanted to hurry out of the Jizhou boundary.
After rushing for more than an hour, a village suddenly appeared in front of me, and I saw it from a distance, only to see the smoke of the cooking, it was the time for dinner, and it seemed that even if there was a rebellion of thieves, the rice could not be eaten.
Liu Bei and the others looked at it from a distance, and were thinking about moving forward in the past and saving trouble, when they suddenly heard a loud shout in the village, and then looked, two teams of soldiers and horses rushed out of the village and rushed straight towards Liu Bei and others.
"Brother~~ It doesn't seem to be like a thing~" Zhang Fei's eyes were pressing, and he saw from a distance that the leader was holding a long knife, and the soldiers behind him were violent, rushing towards him at a fast speed, and he had no intention of slowing down at all, if he rushed in front of him at this speed, he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
"Prepare for war!" Chen gave an order, and the five hundred elites immediately lined up in several columns, and the two teams of cavalry rushed out and galloped around the queue at high speed, reflecting a strong mobility.
