Early the next morning, Zhang Fei led a thousand subordinates, as a pioneer, one step ahead, a distance of more than 600 miles, according to the speed of this team, it will take about ten days.

Liu Bei set off only one day later than Zhang Fei, and his strength was only 2,000.

To be able to set off so quickly is also due to the fact that all the way to the road, all of them are under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Mu Kongrong, and there is no shortage of grain and grass supply, otherwise, even if Liu Bei only takes such a few people and horses to gallop to help, the grain and grass to be brought will not be less, and how can he set off without a few days of work.

Along the way, through the country of Jinan, Le'an, and the country of Qi, the ministers of the three kingdoms were Wang Liang, Yang Pei, Wang Chang, and Tai Shici held the military order of Qingzhou Mu Kongrong, and the three of them sent people and food, unambiguously, and when Liu Bei's army set foot in the territory of Beihai, the strength of the army had suddenly expanded to a full 8,000.

Among them, Qi sent 2,000 troops, and Jinan and Le'an each sent 1,500 troops.

With 8,000 troops in hand, Liu Bei's heart is much more confident.

However, what he saw along the way made him even more worried, Jinan was fine, the disaster was not so serious, Le'an and Qi were slightly more serious, it was the autumn harvest season, but the harvest in the fields, even from the perspective of Liu Bei, a layman, was at least thirty percent less than usual.

The further you go to Beihai, the more serious the situation becomes, and when the army arrives at Hanting, which is thirty miles away from Duchang, although it is surrounded by fertile fields, the harvest can be two or three percent of the usual, and it is already thankful.

From this, it can be inferred that in the hinterland of Dongnae County and Beihai County, which were the most severely affected, it is not an exaggeration to describe that there is no harvest.

At this point, Liu Bei's worries were beyond measure.

He had the experience of conquering the Yellow Turban Thieves, and knew that the more the year of the catastrophe. Or in the land of great calamity, the number of displaced people will increase, and the momentum of the Yellow Turban thieves will become greater and greater. Those homeless people can do anything to get a bite to eat!

Killing people, that's still a trivial matter, changing children and eating, that's the real human tragedy.

However, the most difficult thing to deal with these yellow turban thieves is not how to defeat them. It's about how to stop them from rising up and making trouble.

Defeat them, and when there is no food to eat, as soon as someone raises their arms, they will immediately regroup as a team, and then it will snowball. The more it rolls, the more it rolls, the momentum is louder.

The third brother Zhang Fei led three hundred guards. Escort Tai Shici to Duchang, which is under siege by the Yellow Turban Thieves. reported to Qingzhou Mu Kongrong that Liu Bei stayed alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, walking around boredly, thinking left and right, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Outside the tent, the first quarter moon is as slender as a hook. In more than ten days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to this situation, this Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu Bei could only spend time here in Beihai.

It wasn't until just after the ugly hour that Zhang Fei returned with his army, and the camp, which had been quiet, became noisy again.

Hearing the loud voice of the third brother Zhang Fei outside the tent, Liu Bei was angry and ridiculous in his heart.

It's angry, I blame the third brother Zhang Fei for not reading military books, I don't know that making noise in the camp so late at night is the most dangerous thing, once the camp is bombed, it can be broken without a fight.

It's ridiculous, it's so far away, Liu Bei can hear the third brother Zhang Fei boasting there, how he led the army to kill three in and three out in the Yellow Turban Thief camp.

You don't have to think much about it to know that the so-called killing three in and three out is an exaggeration, but at this time, Zhang Fei's actions like this can boost the morale of the soldiers when it spreads throughout the battalion tomorrow.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Bei finally waited for Zhang Fei to enter the account, and before Liu Bei could reprimand, Zhang Fei first shouted excitedly: "Big brother!" I'm back. ”

The leather armor on Zhang Fei's body was torn, the blood stains had not dried, and a faint smell of blood instantly permeated the entire camp tent. Seeing this, Liu Bei swallowed all the original reprimands, his eyes were slightly red, he nodded, and said: "Well, okay, the third brother is back, and he has killed three in and three out, this trip must have gone very smoothly?" ”

Hearing the eldest brother Liu Bei say this, Zhang Fei smiled, his old face was slightly red, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head indiscriminately, and smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, this, big brother, I Lao Zhang is thinking, along the way, the soldiers talked about the yellow turban thief, they were all a little afraid, I Lao Zhang was thinking, I Lao Zhang can easily kill three in and three out, how to say, you can also let the soldiers, go to some cowardice." ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be amazed, where did he think that the third brother Zhang Fei, such a rude person, would have such a surprising move.

He immediately stepped forward, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, and praised repeatedly: "Okay, the third brother has this understanding, it seems that he has worked military affairs on weekdays, but you don't like to read, you still have to accept it, well, also, you have to learn from your second brother, sympathetic to soldiers, and it is also the foundation of leading soldiers." ”

"Well, eldest brother, I know, but eldest brother, according to what I have seen, the Yellow Turban Thieves' siege of Duchang is not very strong, could it be that the Yellow Turban Thieves have divided their troops and omitted them everywhere?"

"Oh?!"

Liu Bei was in his spirit when he heard it, and asked repeatedly.

Zhang Fei grabbed the kettle on the desk and poured it violently, until the bottom of the kettle was facing the sky, and then he stretched out his sleeve and wiped his mouth unsatisfied, recounting what he saw along the way.

Although Zhang Fei thought that the Yellow Turban Thieves besieging Duchang were not very strong, when escorting Tai Shici into the city and the subsequent fight out of the siege, Zhang Fei frequently used the word "flood" to describe the Yellow Turban Thieves' large number of people and lack of discipline.

Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and when he heard that Zhang Fei had caught several live mouths, before he could finish listening, an idea surged in his heart.

He pondered for most of the night, and the problem was how to make the Yellow Turban Thieves stop, but if he couldn't fill their stomachs, even if they were defeated and dispersed, they would come back in a short time.

If there is a place to settle them, so that they can at least survive this disaster year and not starve to death, Liu Bei estimates that there are not many people, who are really willing to be thieves, and live a life of displacement with a meal and a meal.

This idea, or from the third brother Zhang Fei's "flood" words to get the inspiration, as the saying goes, the flood should be sparse but not blocked, before, Qingzhou Mu Kong Rong led the army in Duchang, is trying to block the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the hinterland of the North Sea, and now, Liu Bei is thinking, how to channel the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to other places.

The problem of doing so is how to minimize the destructiveness of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the most effective result is, of course, to make the Yellow Turban Thieves disintegrate and return to homeless people.

The biggest difference between the homeless and the Yellow Turban Thieves is that they are not organized, so the destructive power is not so strong, as long as the local government sets up a porridge shed and guides it well, it should be able to make the homeless settle down.

If possible, Liu Bei doesn't mind the displaced people going to Pingyuan County, the disaster in Pingyuan this time is very light, the population is enough to be one million, and there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 displaced people, as long as the wind and rain are smooth in the coming year, there should be no problem.

In this way, if you add Jinan, Le'an, and Qi, it seems feasible to resettle three or four hundred thousand displaced people.

As for the stubborn Yellow Turban Thieves, of course, it is the best policy to fight and kill.

Liu Bei thought about it repeatedly, considered it properly, and began to act that night, sending envoys to rush to Qi State, Le'an State, Jinan State, and Pingyuan, and asked Guan Yu and others to get ready, on the other hand, it was to release the Yellow Turban thieves captured by Zhang Fei alive, and told them that as long as they brought farm tools, whether they were old and weak, women and children, or young and strong, and went to the plains, the government would open a warehouse to give porridge and settle the displaced people.

Liu Bei did this without the approval of Qingzhou Mu Kong Rong, and he was very suspicious of overstepping his bounds, but now that Kong Rong was besieged in Duchang, it was not easy for Liu Bei to get in touch with him.

Under expediency, Liu Bei believes that with Kong Rong's ability, he should be able to understand his approach.

In the next few days, Liu Bei still stationed his troops in the cold pavilion and did not move, but the news from the scouts showed that his strategy had begun to work.

The most obvious thing is that the displaced people who rushed to the Duchang area one after another did not join the Yellow Turban thieves besieging Duchang, but endured hunger, and continued to walk towards the Qi country in the northwest with hope and longing.

Most of these homeless people bring their own farm tools.

According to the ideas of these simple farmers, farm tools are their lifeblood, and all over Qingzhou, there are many flat and rich lands, as long as they can survive this catastrophe year, they can get seeds, find an ownerless wasteland, waste some effort to reclaim it, and in the coming year, there will be a harvest.

The information brought back by the scout made Liu Bei ecstatic.

Especially when I heard that these homeless people who dragged their families with their mouths, they were not clothed, they could not eat, they were barefoot, and many people, especially children, had their feet out of the blood blisters, so that they were stained with blood, and they came from Donglai and Beihai all the way away, and when they heard that the plains could eat porridge and be resettled, they immediately ignored the journey of more than 600 miles, and set off with a look of joy and anticipation, Liu Bei was already sour in the nose and burst into tears.

This is really not Liu Bei acting, but his true feelings, and even he feels that what has put these homeless people in such a situation is the turmoil in Luoyang, and it is the dereliction of duty of these state and county officials.

If the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to leave their hometown and go around?

When the news of other states and counties came one after another, Liu Bei learned that Xuzhou Langxi, which is adjacent to Beihai County, Gao Hong, the minister of state, and the Taishou Yingshao of Taishan County in Yangzhou, were all heavily armed at the border, strictly guarding and blocking the way of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so as to prevent the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans from entering the country, even the displaced people.

Therefore, he firmly believes that the strategy of blocking the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can only be achieved for a while, but only the guidance strategy he takes can achieve full success.

However, what he couldn't imagine was that such a diversion method derived from the third brother Zhang Fei's "flood" theory, after a series of fermentation and promotion, would have a significant impact on the general trend of the world in the future.

Liu Bei couldn't have imagined that even if Lu Bu, a traverser with the advantage of a prophet, was here, he was afraid that it would be just as unpredictable.

At this time, Liu Bei had already focused his eyes on Duchang City, thinking about how to cooperate with Kong Rongli and defeat the Yellow Turban thief army besieging the city. (To be continued......)
