A group of children came running and sat around a small table set up separately next to them, and several village women hurriedly brought them food while counting the children and getting dirty.

Liu He noticed that the children's dinner table was a different situation. Not only some green vegetables, but also a few slices of meat in each child's bowl, although those slices of meat are very thinly cut, not to mention this kind of war-torn years, even if there is no war, ordinary people will not see a little meat.

This is what the so-called scholar class is a meat eater, and the common people are vegetarians.

Wei Yan glanced at the gobbling children with relief, turned his head to an old man with white hair and said, "Old village chief, you help me persuade everyone, let the children eat better, of course it is important, don't suffer yourself, the money is enough to eat for a while, and when the money is finished, I will send some more." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, "These people, they have been used to hardship all their lives, when they are poor, they can't wait for money to fall from the sky, and when they finally have money, they are reluctant to spend it." The 1,000 taels of gold you left behind, not to mention our old bones, these babies are enough for this life, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

A thin young man came over and said, "Brother Wei, didn't you say that you were going to go out for a while when you sent money back last time, why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Wei Yan patted the young man on the shoulder, "This time I really want to leave, and I don't know when I will be able to come back this time." ”

When the thin young man heard this, he lowered his head and looked reluctant.

Wei Yan smiled: "What? Still reluctant to me? When your boy grows up and is promising, come to me. ”

The thin boy's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Am I still lying to you?" Wei Yan said, looking at Liu He on the side, "I'll tell you, this is ......"

"I went with him to join the army." Liu He hurriedly said, "When you grow up and are as strong as your Brother Wei, you can come to us." ”

The young man looked down at his thin body, which couldn't pick out a muscle up and down, with a look of loss, "When will I become like Brother Wei......"

Liu He picked up a flatbread and handed it to the young man, "From today onwards, eat well!" ”

The young man took the flatbread that he was afraid of when he saw it, hesitated for a moment, and then ate it in a big gulp.

The villagers laughed when they looked at the young man who was frowning but still stuffing the flatbread into his mouth.

After eating this special hundred family meals, Wei Yan said goodbye to everyone one by one, while Liu He quietly watched this parting, which may be the last parting in this life.

The women all had red eyes, the children were crying one by one, and the tough men who had struggled to live for most of their lives in the troubled times on weekdays also walked silently to the corner, wiping the corners of their eyes.

After leaving the village, the two walked side by side, walking on the way back to Jiangxia, Liu He suddenly turned his head and said to Wei Yan with a smile: "Let's compete with each other to see whose horse runs faster, how about it?" ”

Wei Yan smiled and nodded, then raised his horsewhip and galloped away.

Liu He looked at the back, and some things had already been decided in his heart.

The person in front of him can be Wei Yan, who is brave and good at fighting, but has an extremely evil temperament, and finally has a bad relationship with Paoze.

It can also be Wei Yan, who has repeatedly offered miraculous ideas, but has not been adopted, and has been depressed all his life.

It can even be Wei Yan, who competes with others for power, so that he incurs the disaster of killing.

But he can't be the Wei Yan who died here and now because of the momentary thought of my Liu He.

Don't worry, I'll be back.

These were the last words Wei Yan said to the villagers.

Liu He turned around and looked at the quiet and peaceful little village.

"Don't worry, I'll let him come back."

Back in Jiangxia City, Liu He immediately set out for two major events.

The first is to send people to garrison the four counties that have just been taken, to appease the people and recruit soldiers.

Zhou Yu, who arrived a step late, although he failed to succeed, Liu He got the news that Zhou Yu's army did not seem to have withdrawn, but camped not far away, and seemed to be very restless.

Fortunately, the people of the four counties are very supportive of Liu Beijun's arrival, at least there will be no problems in terms of people's hearts, but they cannot be taken lightly, and they must complete the deployment of the four counties in the shortest possible time.

The second thing is a bigger move to win Yizhou.

Historically, the capture of Yizhou was certainly a watershed in Liu Bei's life, but it was also a battle against his morality.

As a twilight hero who has been adrift for half his life, Yizhou is the first time he has relied on his own strength to build a territory, which is much more justifiable than Jingzhou.

But this attack on Yizhou also greatly reduced Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and Yizhou was also snatched from his nominal clan fellow Liu Zhang.

And the most important thing is that before capturing Yizhou, Liu Bei was invited to Yizhou by Liu Zhang, so that Liu Bei went to the hinterland of Yizhou without much effort, thus approaching Chengdu.

But the problem in front of Liu He now seems to be a little difficult to handle.

There is indeed a Liu Bei in the army, but that Liu Bei is fake.

Without Liu Zhang's invitation before, although it seems that it is not impossible to take Yizhou with the current strength, it may take many times more time and troops than in history.

After all, the most dangerous pass in Yizhou, Liu Bei walked in with a swagger at the beginning, and now it will obviously take some effort to conquer those dangerous passes.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this sentence is not said casually.

In the end, Liu He came up with a seemingly absurd solution, but it was the only way at the moment.

Let the fake Liu Bei pretend to be the real Liu Bei into Sichuan.

It's not too much to say that this method is ridiculous, not to mention the heroic spirit of Rong Ma for half his life, just say that the ability to shed tears when he says tears, how many people in this world can do it?

But since it's the only option, you have to give it a try.

After arranging the deployment of the four counties, Liu He immediately pulled up Zhuge Liang and entered Liu Bei's mansion.

Prior to this, Liu He deliberately transferred Guan Yu and Zhang Fei away, in order not to show his feet, and now in Liu Bei's mansion, in addition to him and Zhuge Liang, only the only Mrs. Gan who already knew the truth was left.

Speaking of Mrs. Gan, Liu He had to admire this heroine.

In order not to reveal the identity of the fake Liu Bei, for a period of time, she has been taking care of the imposter's daily life.

Of course, such things as sharing a bed and pillow, Mrs. Gan is still unwilling to give in.

Fortunately, when Liu Bei was alive at the beginning, he always liked to sleep with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at every turn, so those people who had been with him for many years were not surprised to see that the two did not sleep together.
