Liu Bei became a pioneer, and he was also the first pioneer, so he naturally had to set off in advance, before leaving, he went to see Lu Bu, Lu Bu was the second pioneer, they were partners in cooperation, and they had to ventilate in advance.

Coming to Lu Bu's tent, Liu Bei asked the soldiers to go in to report, he waited outside the tent, behind him stood Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three of them thought that Lu Bu could personally greet him, anyway, now Liu Bei is the Marquis of Yuancheng, and he has three thousand iron horses, whether it is a title or military strength, it is more than Lu Bu, Lu Bu is a thief-born goods, how can he not come out to greet him!

Who knows, as soon as the little soldier entered, Lu Bu's voice sounded in a moment, and the voice was very loud, and he heard Lu Bu say: "That guy who sells grass shoes wants to see me?" The tone was quite surprised.

Liu Bei and Guan Zhang outside the tent heard it clearly, and the three of them were furious at the same time, this Lu Bu was so rude, he even called Liu Bei a straw shoe seller, isn't this just scolding Liu Bei for being a straw shoe seller!

Zhang Fei said angrily: "What kind of thing is he, Lu Bu, who dares to insult my eldest brother, how can it be reasonable!" I'll go in and beat him up!" He wanted to go into the tent to beat Lu Bu, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei waved his hand at him, signaling Zhang Fei not to go in, Guan Yu also said: "Big brother, if you put up with the surname Lu today, I don't know how many people will learn from him in the future, if they all come to bully us one by one, who can bear it?" ”

They were talking outside the tent, and the voice was not small, and Lu Bu inside the tent naturally heard it. Lu Bu just said that he was a straw vendor, because he suddenly heard Liu Bei come to see him, he was very surprised, he was very jealous of Liu Bei's addition to the official Jinjue, and the two had nothing to do with each other, Liu Bei suddenly came to see him, it was normal for him to be surprised, so he blurted out a sentence of straw shoes, he didn't really want to offend Liu Bei, and he couldn't offend such an upstart, he was not stupid, he had nothing to offend people, and it was not a fun thing, but as soon as Guan Zhang and the two of them outside spoke, Lu Bu knew that he had offended people!

Lu Bu chuckled in his heart, and thought: "It's bad, I didn't keep my mouth shut for a while, doesn't this offend Liu Bei, he is a popular person in front of the Queen Mother, in the future, in front of the Queen Mother and the Prince, say bad things about me, give me small shoes to wear, he specializes in selling straw shoes, and his ability to weave small shoes must be great, then I can't stand it!" ”

Whether you want to do it behind your back, that's what you are behind the scenes, but you can't do it in person, you should apologize, and you have to apologize. At this time, Lu Bu is not the same as in real history, he is not afraid of anyone in real history, but now he is not very angry by Li Qin, can setbacks make people grow up, Lu Bu is very mature now, and he will not play any famous general's temper!

He immediately jumped up, strode out of the tent, saw Liu Bei outside, and shouted, "Hey, isn't this Brother Xuande, why are you here?" He pretended to look around and muttered, "Who's that, why is it gone!" ”

This pretentiousness, to put it bluntly, is not admitting that he was scolding Liu Bei just now, but talking about someone who is now gone, which is equivalent to telling Liu Bei, I don't want to offend you, you should not do it, if you have to find fault with me, I don't necessarily have to be afraid of you!

Liu Bei sighed softly, Lu Bu didn't want to offend him, he didn't want to offend Lu Bu, he was about to go to war, offended his comrades, it was a terrible thing, and no one could afford serious consequences!

Liu Bei waved his hand to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, signaling that this would be settled in advance, and not to have a confrontation in person, he turned his head to Lu Bu and said, "General Lu, it is reckless to come today." It's nothing else, just ask, you and I are both in the vanguard, I don't know how far apart we have to be to echo each other? ”

Lu Bu thought to himself: "He is afraid, he has no confidence to defeat Li Qin's vanguard, if he has the confidence to win every battle, then why do you still ask me how far away from him is?" Asking about the distance, isn't it just worried that if he loses, will I support him in time? Hmph, you're right that you don't have confidence, if you can defeat Li Qin's vanguard, I don't want my head, just cut it off and give it to you! ”

Lu Bu smiled all over his face and said, "Why don't we go into the tent and talk about it......" Looking at Guan Zhang and the others who were staring at him wide-eyed, he laughed dryly twice and said, "It's okay to say it outside!" General Liu, how far apart do you think we are? You say, I listen to you! "Even Brother Xuande stopped calling and called General Liu.

Liu Bei said: "It's better to be seventy miles apart, two days away, what do you think?" ”

During the cold weapon combat period, the infantry marched, no more than thirty miles per day, in order to ensure that the soldiers' body was not consumed too much, and it was also suitable for pulling out the camp in the morning, setting up camp at night, getting up at dawn to pull out the time spent pulling out the camp, and the time to rest at noon to bury the pot and make food, and you can't wait until it gets dark to stop, start camping, and make dinner, and do these things, and you can't let the soldiers be too tired, so as not to be able to fight in case of war, so for the infantry, when there are no special circumstances, thirty miles is about the same!

When Lu Bu heard this, he said, "Looking at Yibu, seventy miles seems to be closer. General Liu's soldiers are all cavalry, traveling more than 30 miles a day, I am afraid that the commander General Yuan will be annoyed, and the princes from all walks of life are in a hurry to recover Luoyang, they are afraid that they will not agree to such a slow marching speed, so it is better for you to march every 100 miles, we are two days apart, 200 miles, what do you think? ”

Liu Bei's face changed greatly, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all angry, the army went out, the vanguard and the headquarters were separated by two hundred miles, and they couldn't be considered close, and the first and second pioneers were even separated by a hundred miles, was this a joke? Or is it deliberately framed? It's hard to beat Li Qin, just go to our pioneers, you are all watching the excitement in the back!

Seeing that the faces of the three of them changed together, and there was a precursor to turning their faces, Lu Bu sneered in his heart, but his face was full of discussion, and he said: "If General Liu thinks that two hundred miles is too far, and you are defeated by Li Qin, you can't get my help, then a hundred miles will be done!" Okay, it's just a hundred miles, that's it! ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "The thief surnamed Lu, don't think that we don't know what kind of background you are, and you dare to underestimate us if you are a thief all over your body!" ”

Guan Yu also said angrily: "As far away as you love, you can stay as far away, and when we destroy Li Qin, we will settle accounts with you!" ”

The two said in unison: "Big brother, this kind of person, why bother with him, let's go!" ”

Liu Bei naturally didn't feel much joy in his heart, but he came to find Lu Bu because he wanted Lu Bu to give him some grain and grass, so if he made such a fuss, I was afraid that there would be no grain and grass to share, and other princes would not look down on him, so naturally he would not provide much grain and grass, if he didn't want to think of a way to find someone to get together, no matter how fast the march was, it wouldn't be a few days faster!

When Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei's appearance, he knew that he had begged himself, and hurriedly said: "In this way, Nabu will not be sent, I wish General Liu a victory and success!" As he spoke, he bowed his hand and then turned back to the tent!

Liu Bei stomped his feet, took his two brothers, left Lu Bu's military camp, returned to his own, and the next day he set up his troops and rushed to the direction of Julu!

During this time, Li Qin was not idle, and dealt with the affairs of the Yellow Turban Army non-stop, and finally handled the affairs of Julu almost completely. He knew that the coalition led by Yuan Shao and Cao Ying would definitely pass through the giant deer to attack, and the limelight would be prosperous at the beginning, so he didn't repair the giant deer, lest he be taken away by the coalition army after repairing it, and he would be the same as the enemy!

Li Qin ordered the city wall of Julu City to be demolished, so that it could not be used to defend in a short time, and then the army retreated, in order to make the coalition army come, it fell into the vast sea of war among the people, he ordered to measure the land, and issued a land deed to the people, the wasted land is innumerable, enough for the people to share, he also distributed rations to the people, and told them that because of the huge damage caused by the war, the newly allocated land to them can be exempted from taxation for three years, the fourth and fifth years to pay one-twentieth, and the sixth year to pay one-tenth, This tax policy will remain unchanged for 50 years. At the end of the Han Dynasty, this was a very low tax rate, and it was impossible to do it elsewhere!

Li Qin knows very well that if he wins and wins the world, then in order to allow the people to recuperate, he must be exempt from tax and reduce taxes, which is inevitable, and if he loses, then whether he is exempt from tax or not, whether he reduces taxes or not, has nothing to do with him. So, if you can reduce taxes, why wouldn't he do it! Anyway, if he loses, if Yuan Shao or Cao Ying wants to restore taxes, they will have to provoke a popular uprising, and the people will remember him well, and maybe he can fight back to the east again with the support of the people!

During this period, Li Qin also took the time to go back to Luoyang to stabilize the situation in Beijing. But after he went back this time, he found that nothing else, that is, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs cultivated their forces too quickly, and recruited tens of thousands of "militiamen" Although they were not fully equipped or anything, the number of people was really quite a lot, and it seemed that the ten permanent servants intended to get rid of the control of the Fujiao Army!

This situation is very serious, but Li Qin has no time to deal with it, if he repairs Zhang Rang and others at this time, then Luoyang will be in chaos, and he wants to start a war with the coalition army, he really can't take care of the two ends, so Li Qin can only endure it, as long as he defeats the coalition army, after returning to the division, it will not be so difficult to sweep away Zhang Rang and others, now he can only let Zhang Rang and others toss first!

Li Qin returned from Luoyang and told Jia Xu about Zhang Rang, Jia Xu didn't feel any surprise, but judging from the current situation, he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only wait and see what happened, after all, now that the coalition forces were pressing, he didn't dare to change if he wanted to.

After arranging the affairs of the Yellow Turbans, Li Qin decided to go to war, but in the early days of the war, he did not plan to take the initiative to attack, in case he took the initiative to attack and the war went well, those princes who formed the coalition army were disbanded and ran away as in real history, then the world should not be in chaos, those princes have territory, stick to the territory and resist him, and the war does not know when it will go.

Li Qin ordered the army to transfer its position, from Julu to Tiger Pass, he planned to stick to the Tiger Pass first, first frustrate the spirit of the coalition army, and when the coalition army was tired and the civil strife was chaotic, he would counterattack on a large scale, and he could achieve the result of total annihilation of the coalition army!
