9. Game of Death
Suddenly heard the news of the disturbance in Jizhou Taiping Road, Liu Bei was very surprised at that time, thinking that the Yellow Turban Uprising had been advanced.
After inquiring and inquiring, I didn't hear the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising, so I remembered that Zhang Jiao had done a few things seven years ago in Guanghe, but the scale was not large, the impact was not large, and the loss was not large.
Then he gave money to the believers who had power in the local area to protect them, and then they went on to move.
From this point of view, the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guanghe and the seven-year Yellow Turban Rebellion was able to rise together with the 36 parties in the world was also due to the experience accumulated from several previous failed rebellions.
How else is there a saying that the remnant is king?
Since ancient times, there have been very few people who can rebel once and still be caught and die, and Zhang Jiao is one of them, so he has accumulated enough experience in rebellion.
At this moment, Liu Bei's mind was alive.
He remembered that in the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Youzhou was also one of the hardest hit areas, and with his current family business, he was definitely one of the targets of the Yellow Turban Army's fight against local tyrants, and if he didn't join them, he could only wait to be hit by them.
But in the final analysis, if he does not have a certain military base, whether he is on the side of the Han government or the Yellow Turban Army, he will easily become cannon fodder.
Since then, he has planned to develop his power in the direction of a local tyrant.
Buying land, building farms, recruiting tenants, and establishing a foundation must first of all have the ability to protect oneself even in troubled times in the future.
Since then, he has not been willing to be just a street fighter, but has begun to actively transform into a local powerhouse, and these displaced people who have been very grateful to him are regarded by him as a source of private armed forces, and cannot be easily dismissed.
He sent people to open up a village for them in the deep mountains and old forests, so that they could continue to live in the mountains, and at the same time he began to try to buy land to build a farm, and then slowly recruited tenants from this group of displaced people to cultivate the land for him.
This was originally a good model, while relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, while waiting for Liu Bei to recruit to cultivate the land, it is very good for sustainable development.
Later, Liu Bei's power became bigger and bigger, and the more land was bought, the appearance of a place was gradually rising, and the lives of the homeless people in the village were so improvised.
At the beginning, there were only two or three hundred people in the village, which was small in scale, and Liu Bei couldn't support so many people at that time.
But now, there are about 2,500 Youzhou displaced people living in Liu Bei's private farms and deep mountain villages, and as many as 700 young and middle-aged men.
Liu Bei also discovered his earliest core team from these people, expanded his power and force, and safeguarded his own interests.
For example, Guan Yu, a native of Hedong who had to go into exile in Youzhou because of a lawsuit against his life, was discovered by Liu Bei because of his high posture and extraordinary strength, and he was introduced as a close confidant.
Zhang Fei, a young man from a small local gateway in Zhuo County, took the initiative to take refuge because he admired Liu Bei's heroic name, and was cited by Liu Bei as a cronie because of his fierce fight.
Born in Hebei and growing up in Youzhou, he also followed Liu Bei because of his admiration for Liu Bei's martial arts, and the two had a good relationship, and the fights were also back-to-back.
However, a few years ago, the family members of the Zhaozhao called the Zhaozhao back to their hometown and studied with the fellow villager Da Ru Leyin, and since then there has only been correspondence.
Ji Jian was one of the earliest cronies and was very trusted by Liu Bei.
Jian Yong, the concubine of the Haoqiang family, who was from the same county and fought together when he was a teenager, also came to Liu Bei because his mother died and was not tolerated by his family.
During this period, the help from the Liu clan in Zhuo County was still very important.
Liu Bei once rose to power, although he was inferior to his father and grandfather in the eyes of the clansmen, but having such a clansman with abundant martial virtues was also a powerful deterrent to the outside, and it could invisibly enhance the competitiveness of the Liu clan in the local area.
It's all about profit.
So in the process of Liu Bei's development of power, the Liu clan provided Liu Bei with a lot of convenience and help, gave him some investment, helped him buy land to expand the manor, and also assigned him some businesses in the clan.
What he asked for was nothing more than Liu Bei's abundant martial arts to deter outsiders and even the government.
But in the final analysis, Liu Bei and them are only in a relationship of mutual use, and the only ones who really make friends are Liu Bo's family.
And Liu Bo also became Liu Bei's first noble person in the true sense.
Because he provided Liu Bei with the opportunity to study with Lu Zhi, it also opened Liu Bei's road to heaven, and when Liu Bei returned to Zhuo County after returning from his studies, Liu Bo also made great contributions.
Liu Bo didn't know how to meet Lu Zhi and had a certain friendship with Lu Zhi.
When he learned that Lu Zhi was going to open a school to teach disciples in Luoyang Wushi Mountain, he fought for two places for his sons Liu Hui and Liu Bei.
To be honest, when his mother told Liu Bei about this, Liu Bei was stunned.
Years of fighting and killing have made him almost forget the earliest experience when he longed to be famous.
When recalling the past, Liu Bei remembered that at that time, he had the idea of using Lu Zhi to make a name for him, but unfortunately there was no way.
And now, this door actually took the initiative to find the door, so the heart of changing one's life against the sky, which had been silent for many years, beat enthusiastically again.
Liu Bei, who was fifteen years old at the time, was still not satisfied with his situation.
Because he realized that even if he became a tyrant in Zhuoxian County, he relied on the family to use each other, and even the government had to pay attention to himself, but in the final analysis, he was just a small role in the entire Eastern Han Empire.
Not to mention the Yellow Turban Uprising's indiscriminate stab at all levels of society in the Eastern Han Empire, he, Liu Xuande, a county-level tyrant, escaped the Yellow Turban Uprising, how much survival rate can he have in the troubled times in the future?
After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo chaotic the country, the central authority of the Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed, and the troubled times followed, how many people turned into a handful of loess?
Throughout the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, until the short-term unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, although the population loss was not as exaggerated as 90% as the legend, it was not false at all from the peak of the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The good news sent by Liu Bo made Liu Bei break away from the sense of glory of Street Fighter, re-examine the world, and helplessly found that even if he had achieved the freedom of barbecue, he was still a miscellaneous fish in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty social class.
A trash fish that doesn't make a splash even if it's dead.
After experiencing the two life cycles of [Already Doing Your Best to Be Alive] and [Street Fighter], Liu Bei has long since lost the arrogance and ignorance of wielding the three-plate axe of the Traverser.
His body is full of extreme survival skills, and his moves are towards people's vital points, not gorgeous at all, but he can kill, ordinary people can't pass three moves in front of him, and he must lie on the ground.
He now has a clear understanding of the truth that what you want is a cost, and that the knowledge he brought with him from his previous life can only be used by the real upper classes.
As for how to enter the upper class of society in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the knowledge of modern civilized society is not of much use.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were its own rules of the game, and 95 percent of the people who could participate in this game were unable to participate in it, and 95 percent of the 5 percent who could participate in it were cannon fodder.
The victor after the big wave is no longer what he has experienced can be described in a bloody battle.
Therefore, this road is destined to be extremely dangerous, difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, and there will be no bones.
Coincidentally, the ticket to participate in this game was sent to Liu Bei by Liu Bo, a nobleman, at the time node of the fourth year of Xiping.
To participate, or not to attend?
Will he continue to be a county-level tyrant who is free to barbecue, or will he chase that ethereal and elusive possibility to achieve a breakthrough in social class?
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, took the junior station ticket, which was not cheap, and used his life as a bargaining chip to join this death game.
