Chapter 60: The Thieves Shake

Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang, Gaotang belong to the domain of Yanzhou.

Nowadays, Gaotang belongs to the Qinghe State of Jizhou.

Liu Bei arrived in Jixian County, went south, had a smooth journey, stayed in Anxi, joined Chen Zhi's people and horses, and went straight to Gaotang.

Before leaving, Liu Bei talked with An Xiling Chen Tu and Hao Sheng for a while, so as to deepen the relationship, and put it simply, if Chen Tu is like him in the future, he Liu Bei welcomes him.

With the last incident as the beginning, in Liu Bei's opinion, he has now jumped out of the whirlpool of Zhongshan Kingdom, and then the county official may wear small shoes for Chen Zhi.

In less than ten days, Gaotang County is in sight.

In Gaotang County, knowing that the county order has been vacant for half a year, some people are on top, mainly county temple officials, and they are all curious about who will come to take office?

Finally, the order from the imperial court to the county government was slowly sent to the county temple before Liu Bei arrived.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande?"

The county Cheng Hu Zhuo silently read the name above, and his brows were deeply locked.

In the past few months, the name of Renhu Liu Bei, starting from Youzhou, has spread all over the world together with the name of Gongsun Zan of the Liaodong Fierce Tiger.

In addition to Liu Bei's own fierce force and outstanding military achievements, his three nominal brothers, it is said that they are also extraordinary in force, on the battlefield of Youzhou, they broke Zhang Ju, took the fake Son of Heaven Zhang Ju's head, and later cooperated with the imperial army to break Zhang Chun Wuhuan.

And the most commendable thing is that Liu Bei gave up fame and fortune, ran thousands of miles away, and volunteered to help Gongsun Zhan!

This matter, after preaching, united with Liu Bei before the end of the micro, recruiting the righteous army, and then loving the soldiers like a son and many other matters, the name of benevolence and righteousness, that is, a ten-year-old child, also knows a lot.

Hu Zhuo is a native of Guangnian in Zhao County, not far from Gaotang.

He has been in office in Gaotang County for three years. has always held the power of the county temple, and the first two county orders were all resigned by him.

Now that there is a "big man" who is booming, how will he be in a good mood?

As the adjutant of the county order, the county commander, like the county order, is appointed by the imperial court and has a high position.

"This Liu Xuande, who heard a natural vision, has a pair of big ears, and is benevolent, righteous and moral.

I can't do anything about what I am worried about now, but wait for him to come, and wait and see what happens! ”

Thinking about it here, Hu Zhuo was a little relieved, but it didn't mean that he would give up the power in his hands.

Thinking of those bandits in Gaotang County, he suddenly had a plan.

In less than half a day, the famous Liu Bei is about to come to Gaotang County, and the matter of serving as the county commander has already spread all over the market.

Under the fame, this matter spread more and more widely.

Black Mountain Cottage.

It is located in the north of Gaotang County forty miles, there is a mountain here, for the local villagers, called Montenegro.

Originally in the mountains, the stones are mostly jet black.

The bandit Wang Niu led three hundred thieves and was stationed here.

If they are said to be thieves, they cannot be regarded as thieves, but they are landless displaced people who have been displaced by wars in many places in recent years.

Like Black Mountain Village, there are also Matou Village, Liujia Village, and no less than a dozen bandit villages, all of which are troubled by the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that the official temple and the pavilion guards, suppressed the bandits several times, but failed to succeed once, even if it was reported to Qinghe State, it was finally over.

There is no other reason, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the trouble of bandits in all parts of the world has become more and more serious, and it is difficult to carry out unified eradication, and there are even anti-thieves who use the name of Taiping Road to set off trouble again.

And the official temple of the enemy of the Han Dynasty, under the impact of round after round, is not as good as in the past, and the control of the local area is not as good as before.

But Liu Bei's arrival, for the bandits in Gaotang, was like dropping a boulder on the surface of a calm lake, and it was also like pouring a spoonful of water in an oil pot.

"Renhu is here!

I'm afraid I'm in danger! ”

Wang Niu, the big boss of the Black Mountain Village, used to herd cattle for the rich families in the township, earlier than the battle of Guangzong many years ago, he saw the chaos in the world, without saying a word, took the family firewood knife, killed the rich family, and took a group of villagers to defect to the Yellow Turban Army.

After Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Han court also changed generals, from Dong Zhuo to Huangfu Song, the Yellow Turban Army was angry and fought against Huangfu Song, Wang Niu also saw that the situation was not good at this time, and led everyone to occupy the mountain as the king.

In the past few years, being a bandit is still "stable", and when there is no food on weekdays, he leads the crowd down the mountain to rob the merchants.

It's just that now, Liu Bei's reputation is outside, once he comes to Gaotang, with his prestige, how dare they act rashly?

Therefore, after gathering his subordinates, Wang Niu said this, he has been close to the seven-rank military general in these years of fighting, and many people have asked questions.

"What should I do, boss?"

"Yes, big boss, you let me wait to the east, I will never wait to the west!"

Wang Niu raised his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"The arrival of Renhu is not a matter of my Black Mountain Village, and I will discuss and deal with this matter with other cottages."

Within a few days, the news of Liu Bei's arrival spread more and more widely, and the bandits in the entire Gaotang territory were all shaken!

In the end, the result of the discussion was to make people laugh and cry, that is, to go.

Because according to the investigation from the front, Liu Bei came to Gaotang to take office this time, not with one person, but with thousands of servants, and three tiger brothers.

Even the Wuhuan army, the anti-thief Zhang Ju, was finally defeated, this is a group of soldiers who have really seen blood, how can they resist?

The news of the bandits' retreat could not be concealed from the officials in the temple in Gaotang County, who had been afraid of them like tigers.

On the third day of the retreat of the group of thieves, Liu Bei finally led his troops to the territory of Gaotang.

"Brother, I inquired from the road, in this Gaotang territory, bandits are in serious trouble.

I want to lead a group of people first, and level the local bandits for my brother! ”

For more than a month, there was no fighting, and Zhang Fei's problem was committed again.

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled: "That's it! In addition to Zilong leading his troops to walk with me, Yun Chang, you and Yide, as well as all the kings, also led their own men and horses to clear out the bandits in the county to calm the people.

This time, it is also a good time to train the soldiers. ”

"Obey the orders of the county king!"

The generals will be pleased.

In an instant, thousands of people and horses, divided into multiple divisions, headed everywhere.

Liu Bei led Zhao Yun and other personal soldiers to the county temple.

Coming, according to the usual practice, he has asked his own soldiers to report to the county temple first. For example, in the county temple, an official should also greet each other.

Two hours later, when Liu Bei arrived outside the county seat, his expression was a little strange.

How did the second brother Guan Yuzhi, who went to the south, actually come to the outside of the city first, could it be that something happened?

Seeing Liu Bei coming, Guan Yu quickly rode close and told him what he had explored.

"Before I arrived, all the bandits in the county retreated? It happened on these two days.

This...... No wonder I saw more and more merchants coming from the direction of Gaotang on the way, and the reason was this! ”

Liu Bei opened his mouth wide, he was still waiting to crack down on the bandits in the county, so that he could "return blood" to the ministry, but he didn't expect that it would have such an effect!
