Liu Bei is really just dealing with these people, if he really has any ideas, he can pull Yuan Shao and others as shields to make peace together, so as to blast the eunuchs.

But that is meaningless, the most important thing now is to control the scale of the Taiping Road uprising, so that the chain reaction can be smaller.

In November of the sixth year of Guanghe, the temperature plummeted, and the cold wind was blowing, and it was very painful to go to the court or engage in political struggle.

But Liu Bei, who enjoys long-term sick leave under special circumstances, is not, he has a good margin and can shrink at home with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie to enter winter mode.

A family of three sleeps in the conservatory every day, sleeps until dawn, has nothing to do to read and practice calligraphy, or receives visitors, and when there are no guests, they huddle in the backyard with two women to make barbecue.

Now he has completely enjoyed the freedom of barbecue and spices that he once thought about day and night, and the grilled meat is fragrant and tender.

This is not enough, he also needs rice, which is used as a staple food and grilled meat as a dish, and eats deliciously.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the planting area of millet in northern China was the largest existence, and it was the staple food of the people, and wheat and rice were second-tier products and did not occupy the mainstream, until the end of the Song Dynasty, the cultivation of wheat and rice gradually replaced the planting status of millet.

However, Liu Bei grew up eating rice in his previous life, and he had a deep attachment to rice, but he didn't like millet very much, and he didn't like other staple foods that could be eaten.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuo County actually had rice cultivation, but the yield was scarce and the price was expensive, from seven to fifteen years old, Liu Bei never ate even a mouthful of rice for eight years.

It wasn't until he was fifteen years old, when his Street Fighter foundation gradually stabilized, that he ate his first bowl of rice, which he had been thinking about day and night, and was moved to tears.

Although rice was still a non-staple food product with high price and scarce yield at this time, and the cost of eating a bowl was still relatively high, Liu Bei still insisted on eating rice as a staple food since then.

This once made her mother very incomprehensible, blaming Liu Bei for being a nouveau riche mentality, floating when he was powerful, and reprimanded Liu Bei many times, telling him not to spend so much money on rice.

To save, to save money, to guard against unforeseen needs, not to spend lavishly when you have money.

After that, her mother also asked her uncle and nobleman Liu Bo to take [Xuande] for Liu Bei as a table character, which meant to exhort Liu Bei to be careful in life and work, not to be overly publicized in everything, and to know how to be temperate and low-key.

This expression is also a warning from his mother to Liu Bei's habit of acting in a high-profile manner.

But this is really not Liu Beipiao.

It was not easy for him to know that he was just missing and longing for rice too much, and eating rice was not a noble status symbol in his opinion, but just a nostalgia that transcended time and space.

Despite this, he gladly accepted this fatalistic [Xuande], although he didn't know if that Uncle Liu Huang was named this table by his family because he was too floating when he was young.

But the rice is really delicious, and it is even more delicious with barbecue.

However, it seems that only Liu Bei thinks so, and the others, including Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, don't seem to be very accustomed to eating rice, so Liu Bei is the only one in the entire Liu family who eats rice.

It doesn't matter, it's just nostalgia.

He eats and eats meat again, and when he is full of food and drink, he plays a pleasant and shameful game with a wife and a concubine, so as to entertain the world, pretending to be hedonistic.

Subsequently, in December of the sixth year of Guanghe, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie's successive pregnancies further confirmed the gold content of Liu Bei's "sick leave".

Friends in the social circle came to congratulate Liu Bei, and even Lu Zhi took time out of his busy schedule to congratulate Liu Bei on becoming a father, which shows the mainstream of society's dedication to inheritance.

Of course, they have reasons to be persistent, because they really have a family business to pass on and need to pass on.

Of course, Liu Bei was also happy, but he did not put all his energy into it.

Because Liu Hui had a great breakthrough in the news of the three Zhang Jiao brothers.

In mid-December, Liu Hui sent secret information that he had determined that the Zhang Jiao brothers' activities were currently in Julu County, especially Julu County.

Even the people he sent out had already seen Zhang Jiao twice.

As Liu Bei expected, in order to maintain his prestige, it was necessary for Zhang Jiao to personally carry out activities, and personally give rice grain and strange talisman water to the believers, which was something Zhang Jiao often had to do, so almost all the locals in Julu County knew Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao is a face-saving person locally.

There is no news about the rebellion, and the only thing worth noting is that it was mentioned that it was about the middle of the sixth year of Guanghe, and Zhang Jiao's activities suddenly became very small.

During that time, he also rarely showed up, and most of the activities that required the intervention of heavyweights were carried out by his two younger brothers, and the locals did not know what the situation was.

However, after October of the sixth year of Guanghe, Zhang Jiao began to appear more frequently in various counties of Julu County, taking the initiative to show up to contact believers and non-believers, and also actively participated in many social communication activities, and had positive contacts with many powerful landlord families in the county.

He hadn't heard the news of the rebellion, but in Julu County, Zhang Jiao was indeed an extremely prestigious existence, even if he was not a believer in Taiping Dao, he was full of good feelings or admiration for Zhang Jiao.

This is of course very bad, but from another point of view, Zhang Jiao's defensive psychology in the county must be extremely low.

While Zhang Jiao was running Taiping Road, he was also a local tyrant, with a lot of money and a lot of income, and his family had a large manor and a lot of land, and many people cultivated the land for him to provide him with a huge amount of money.

These family savings were the first time he could start his own business.

Zhang Jiao usually lives in his own manor, and when there are activities, he will go to various places, if he goes far away, there are many guards to follow, if he is only in the local activities, he is light and simple, there is no big pomp, it seems to be deliberately creating a people-friendly image.

Isn't that good news?

Liu Hui himself also pointed out that Zhang Jiao did not pay much attention to his own safety, giving him an opportunity to operate the assassination plan, and he planned to find a good opportunity for Zhang Jiao to go out and send Liu's dead soldiers to assassinate Zhang Jiao and his brother at close range.

Liu Bei was full of expectations for this, but in addition to expectation, he couldn't provide Liu Hui with any more direct help, and the team of more than 30 dead soldiers was the biggest capital he could come up with.

To be able to rely on this capital to leverage this heavy history, it mainly depends on whether this fulcrum is chosen correctly.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

In fact, for Zhang Jiao, everything is ready and only the eight words of Dongfeng are applicable, because all the preparations for his rebellion have also entered the final stage - to make an appointment and inform the teams of all parties across the country.
