After recruiting Sun Guan, Zhao Feng did not advise Liu Bei to make the next move. After all, Tao Qian was still there at this time, and it would be a little hasty to enter Yuzhou. As for letting Sun Guan serve as the prime minister of Lu, it seems that Yuan Shu has not been stimulated now, at least Huainan is still safe. In this way, Zhao Feng and the others were trapped in Xiaopei all day long, and all they could do was to train the soldiers, drink alcohol, and the rest was to wait for Tao Qian to die. In addition, Zhao Feng also found time to find a musician to learn to play the piano, not for anything else, just because he was very envious of the lupine scarf in his previous life, and Zhou Gongjin, who was perfect in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now that he has come to this world, he naturally can't be a martial artist who can only fight.

It's been so plain, but it's time to come after all. A few months later, one morning in early summer, Zhao Feng had just gotten up to practice marksmanship in the courtyard, and Liu Bei was in a hurry and sent someone to find him to go to the county office, saying that there was something important to discuss. When Zhao Feng arrived at the mansion, he found that Sun Qian was also here, and at the same time he also brought a message: Tao Qian is dying, please Liu Bei go quickly.

"Tao Fujun, alas!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he heard Sun Qian say this. Guan Yu on the side persuaded: "Big brother, you can't force your life and death, let's go to Xuzhou quickly." Zhao Feng could hear that if Liu Bei's sigh still had some truth in it, then Guan Yu's words would inevitably be pure hypocrisy. Of course, Zhao Feng is not a hypocritical person, in his previous life, he scoffed at those who said that Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou was not kind: Anyway, this is also what Lao Tzu worked hard to keep, and now it is also human nature to belong to me, not to mention that he will not enter Xuzhou until Tao Qian's death, which can be regarded as worthy of him.

Leaving Guan Hai and Jian Yong to stay in Xiaopei, Zhao Feng and Liu Guan and Zhang Pegasus followed Sun Qian to Xuzhou. When they arrived, Tao Qian was already in bed and couldn't speak, and when he saw Liu Bei, he only pointed to the Xuzhou brand seal held in Mi Zhu's hand, and after seeing Liu Bei take it, he only nodded and closed his eyes.

Since then, Tao Qian has passed away, and Liu Bei has taken over the history of Xuzhou Thorn, and has the first territory to dominate the world. Among the four major families in Xuzhou, in addition to the Cao family in the army, the other three families all fully supported Liu Bei, and Zhao Feng and their group of outsiders also gained a foothold in Xuzhou.

"Whew!" Liu Bei looked at the large pile of cases on the table in front of him, and couldn't help but take a long breath, being a stabbing is much more tired than the plains. Chen Qun, who was under him, was reporting: "My lord, after my Xuzhou was kidnapped by Cao Ying's soldiers last time, the population of Pengcheng County has dropped sharply, and now it is less than 200,000. In addition, the East China Sea is still occupied by thieves Kou Changxi, and these two counties will not be able to harvest summer grain this year. Fortunately, the harvest of the remaining Langya, Dongguan and Guangling counties is still good. "To say that Liu Bei's insight into people is really not covered, he discovered his talent soon after coming into contact with Chen Qun, so at Zhao Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei appointed Chen Qun as the grain Cao not long after taking office.

"How's it going on the military side?" This is Zhao Feng, who was sitting on the left side and participating in the discussion, asked, this is the question he is most concerned about.

"Xuzhou originally had 90,000 troops in addition to the garrison troops in various places, and there were less than 50,000 left after the previous war, of which there were 30,000 Danyang soldiers. Among the generals, only the Yamen general Cao Bao and the Zhichong captain Mi Fang remained. Chen Qun said in a somewhat bitter tone, no way, it was too miserable.

"My lord, the top priority now is to recruit troops and recuperate at the same time. In addition, Changxi in the East China Sea can either be subdued or exterminated, in short, this county cannot be discarded in vain. Zhao Feng said first after listening.

"That's it!" Liu Bei also nodded in agreement. So in the following period of time, Liu Bei, who had just taken office, began to carry out a series of governance measures. In view of the sharp decline in the number of troops, Liu Bei Xiaopei's tens of thousands of people were also transferred to Xuzhou to enrich the army. The military system of the Han Dynasty was based on 8,000 people as a division, and the commander was at least a deputy general. So at Zhao Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei appointed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Feng, Guan Hai and even Mi Fang as Yamen generals or deputy generals, each commanding one or two divisions. In addition, in order to appease people's hearts, the previous Cao Bao still served as the Yamen general, and served as Xia Pi Cheng, leading a division of 8,000 people to garrison Xia Pi.

"This Cao Bao opposes my eldest brother, Bo Tao, why do you still recommend this guy to be appointed as Pi Cheng?" Zhang Fei was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Zhao Feng's suggestion, although Guan Yu didn't say anything, his expression was obviously dissatisfied. "The three generals are a little restless, the reason why this Cao Bao dares to fight against the lord is mainly because he still has a certain influence in the Xuzhou army. Now that we have just entered Xuzhou, it is not appropriate to retaliate. Saying this, Zhao Feng lowered his voice and said, "The two generals think that he is promoting him by letting him be Pi Cheng at the moment?" Definitely. Xiapi is Cao Bao's hometown, and he was transferred there just to keep him away from the core of the Xuzhou army, so that his comrades can be slowly divided and dissolved by us, and the army will eventually be in our hands. ”

"Makes sense!" Liu Bei deserves to be a black-bellied expert, and after listening to Zhao Feng's annihilation plan, he praised it again and again. Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "Then what will I do in the future?" ”

"What else can he do, if he knows the times and is a little safe, he might as well be a subordinate Picheng. If you dare to be restless, I still have a way to clean him up. Zhao Feng said lightly, and his tone unconsciously had a hint of murderous aura as Zhang Fei's generals.

Things are still relatively smooth, Cao Bao, who can serve as the Xiapi Cheng of his hometown, is also quite happy to pack up and go to work, Xuzhou saw that Liu Bei treated Cao Bao who had opposed him, and they all bowed to him for a while. As for the personnel arrangements of the remaining counties, Guangling County borders on the territory of Yuan Shu in Huainan, so it is the most important, and it is the richest county in Xuzhou. In addition, Mi Zhu was appointed as Dongguan Taishou, Sun Qian was appointed as Pengcheng Taishou, Zhao Yu was appointed as Donghai Taishou, and Guan Yu was appointed as Langya Taishou, which was closest to Xuzhou.

"The eldest brother is so biased, and the second brother is too guarded, why can't I?" After Zhang Fei learned of Liu Bei's appointment, he was immediately dissatisfied. "The third brother is a little restless, the foolish brother has an important point that needs to be guarded by the third brother." Liu Bei twisted his beard and smiled.

"Where?" Zhang Fei suddenly asked.

"Xiao Pei!" As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he saw Zhang Fei's expectant expression collapse, and hurriedly comforted: "Third brother, don't underestimate it, this Xiaopei is located between Xuzhou City and Xiapi, the most important thing, the third brother should not be careless." ”

"I understand, big brother, you want me to take a good look at Cao Bao's house." Zhang Fei suddenly smiled, patted his chest and packed the ticket. Then he asked: "Then why didn't Zhao boy go to be a taishou?" ”

"Alas, now in Xuzhou City, the only people who can discuss things with me are Yuanlong and Bo Tao. Yuanlong has gone to Guangling, how can Bo Tao go again? I have played Bo Tao as the general of Xuzhou, and I will sit in Xuzhou with me. Liu Bei also said helplessly.

"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Feng is also thanks. Although General Zhonglang was a miscellaneous general in various states in the Han Dynasty, he was still a step above General Yamen. At the same time, Zhao Feng also sighed secretly, this Xuzhou City is still short of talents. Not to mention anything else, Chen Deng is not here, and he doesn't even have a military advisor to give advice. Although he knows how to war, he is not particularly good at strategy.

However, it seems that Liu Bei is lucky, in the autumn of this year, Mi Zhu, who was the Taishou of Langya at the time, recommended a person to vote, it was Xu Sheng Xu Wenxiang, a native of Langya Dongtai, Mi Zhu felt that his martial arts were extraordinary, so he specially asked him to defect to Liu Bei. Zhao Feng knew that he was the general of the Eastern Wu Navy in history, so he strongly recommended this person to Liu Bei, and finally Liu Bei asked him to serve as the military Sima under Zhao Feng first.

The good luck is not over, soon the new Lu State Prime Minister Sun Guan wrote a letter to his former friend, now entrenched in the East China Sea Changxi, what Liu Bei said in the letter did not ask carefully, but Changxi received the letter immediately led the troops to vote, Liu Bei named him a general, so far the five counties of Xuzhou are all under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei.

The return of Donghai County is the happiest is the East China Sea Taishou Zhao Yu, it turns out that a big source of income for the Zhao family is boiling salt, before Donghai County was not peaceful so it could not cook salt on a large scale, and now it is finally able to regain its old business.

While Xuzhou was busy with the two leaders taking over, it was not so peaceful elsewhere. The melee in the north gradually came to an end, Yuan Shao used the fire attack strategy of the strategist Tian Feng to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and the world-famous Youyan Iron Cavalry surrendered nine times out of ten, and Gongsun Chan was forced to retreat to Zhuo County.

As for Yanzhou, originally in history, Lu Bu should have been defeated by Cao Ying, but now it is still in a stalemate. Zhao Feng thought about it again and again, and it was estimated that it was due to the great loss of Cao Ying's strength under the effect of his butterfly effect. In the rest of the places, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has officially separated from Liu Zhang and established himself, and the angry Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother who stayed in Chengdu, Yizhou, and since then the two families have been on the same footing.

Now, all eyes are focused on Yanzhou, waiting to see the outcome of the Cao Lu War.
