Although Zhuo County, where Liu Bei lived and grew up, is also a hot spot for everyone to mingle with every day, it is not a real border county, with a large population and good economic development.

Therefore, although Zhuo County cannot be compared with the Central Plains County, it is really not to the point where you have to sleep with a knife day and night.

This is obviously not the case in the counties of Liangzhou.

People who grow up in that kind of environment always have to think about how to live first, and then everything else, if they can't even live, who has the heart to think about other things?

Hearing Dong Huang say this, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the pious Confucian Song Xiao who served as the assassin of Liangzhou before.

He actually said that the people of Liangzhou had not read the Confucian classics, and as long as they read the Confucian classics, they could solve all the problems.

To deal with such people, they should be allowed to move their families to live in Liangzhou border counties, and after a few years, see if their homes have become mass graves.

So Liu Bei patted Dong Huang on the shoulder again.

"If you don't want to go back now, don't go back, follow me, if you have a bite to eat, you won't be hungry, but in the future, we still have to go back to Liangzhou."

"Huh? Why? Don't you want me in the future? ”

"Silly boy!"

Liu Bei slapped Dong Huang on the head: "You came to Luoyang, safe, rich, okay, but what about your fellow Liangzhou countryman?" Like Ling, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou who are in danger of their lives anytime and anywhere.

We have to find a way to let them live the life of the people of Luoyang, aren't the people of Liangzhou people? The people of Liangzhou are also people, the children of Liangzhou are also children, and the old people of Liangzhou are also old people.

There is no reason why Liangzhou people deserve to live the life that Luoyang people can live, and Liangzhou people deserve to sleep with knives every day, that's not good, let's let Liangzhou people also sleep peacefully with their favorite people. ”

Dong Huang was stunned for a moment.

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

"Why can't it be?"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "As long as we are strong enough, as long as our army is capable enough, we can kill all the disobedient people, leave the obedient people, and live honestly, and then we will continue to fight to the west and continue to expand the country's territory to the west, so that the people of Liangzhou don't have to sleep with knives every day." ”

"This ...... Is it really possible? ”

Dong Huang looked at Liu Bei stunned: "I think it's impossible no matter how I think about it, what should I do?" How to fight? Can you kill all those Qianghus? And the Xianbei people in the north, can they all be killed? If they don't kill them, they will definitely continue to invade Liangzhou. ”

"It's impossible now, because there are too many insects in the court, and they won't do anything else but drag their feet."

Liu Bei said slowly: "They only think about themselves, they never think about other people, they just need to be comfortable, and they don't care if other people are comfortable or not, it is because there are too many such people in Luoyang, so people in Liangzhou have to sleep with knives." ”

Dong Huang thought about it and thought thoughtfully.

"You mean that as long as there are fewer people like this, the people of Liangzhou will be able to sleep without holding a knife?"

"Yes, as long as there are fewer such people, or there are no such people, Liangzhou people can sleep with their loved ones, they can sleep with peace of mind, and sleep until dawn.

Whether it is the people of Longxi, or Jincheng, or Wuwei, or even Dunhuang, as long as we do the right thing, we can let them live the same life as the people of Luoyang. ”

Liu Bei looked at Dong Huang's eyes and said a word.

"Juan, I want the people of Liangzhou to sleep without holding a knife, I want them to sleep until dawn, I want to do this, do you believe me?"

Dong Huang opened his mouth slightly and hesitated for a while.

"Can you really do it?"

"Not yet, but in the future."

“…………”

Dong Huang was silent for a while and nodded firmly.

"I believe in you, you can do it."

"Thank you, I will definitely do it."

Dong Huang didn't know where Liu Bei came from, and the confidence to do that kind of thing seemed completely impossible to him.

But inexplicably, on this night, in this carriage, Liu Bei said something that made him involuntarily want to believe it completely.

And let him look forward to that future.

Two days later, the army took the pledging to march.

The army was divided into three routes, Zhang Wen led one way, Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo each led one road, and Liu Bei led the cavalry of the Northern Army as a cavalry captain.

In addition to the cavalry of the Northern Army, there were also soldiers from different sources who volunteered to follow Liu Bei on the expedition.

These people formed Liu Bei's expedition this time, led them, and Liu Bei followed Zhang Wen on the road to the expedition.

The soldiers of the Liu family who went out this time were not mainly Liu Bei's own Youzhou headquarters, and many families such as the Zhen family, the Cao family, the Han family, the Yin family, and many other families sent their own elite knights to prepare their own armor and weapons to follow Liu Bei on the expedition, and followed Liu Bei as Liu Bei's family soldiers.

They had only one purpose, not to win this war, but to protect Liu Bei's safety.

They didn't actually have to obey Zhang Wen's command, they only obeyed Liu Bei's command alone, and only protected Liu Bei's safety.

If they die in battle to protect Liu Bei, their families will be best cared for and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

If Liu Bei was injured and had an accident, they would have received the most severe punishment they could imagine.

So before they all die in battle, Liu Bei will definitely be fine, if Liu Bei has something, it can only mean that they have all died in battle.

These more than 1,000 "Liu family soldiers" fought for Liu Bei alone.

There is nothing to say on the march, life is boring and boring, in addition to rushing is rushing, Liu Bei is also responsible for many things, but he is used to these things, he is not unfamiliar, and he handles them very appropriately.

The soldiers of the General Affairs Department who went out with him also gave full play to their abilities, handled the logistics work relatively well, and there were no noteworthy mistakes.

So Liu Bei is relatively relaxed.

With this ease, he can exchange feelings with many subordinates, or talk to Sun Jian about military tactics, or his past experience in Jiangdong.

Yes, Sun Jian, this little Jiangdong brother of Zhu Jun, because he was recommended by Liu Bei, also brought his 500 carefully selected Jiangdong soldiers to participate in the war as the military Sima in Liu Bei's army, and was under Liu Bei's command.

Sun Jian was obviously very happy, as a macho man, he thanked Liu Bei again for his recommendation, and accompanied him all the way, chatting and laughing with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was very curious about Sun Jian's past life in Jiangdong, and asked him about his life in Jiangdong, as well as the customs and customs of Jiangdong, and Sun Jian knew everything, and talked about the past when he once ventured to fight with pirates.

It can only be said that the Jiangdong Tiger is worthy of being the Jiangdong Tiger, and Sun Jian is also a real man.

Born in an ordinary small landlord family, he was still from Jiangdong, and at the age of seventeen, he began to mingle with hostile strangers, and he fought a piece of the world with his fierce ability, and became a pawn of Yuan Shu, the son of a high-ranking family.

This is an alternative rise, an alternative class ascension, and Sun Jian's path fully proves that if you want to break down class barriers in a desperate era, you can fight more vigorously than others is a very good path.

Of course, the premise is that life is hard enough to live until the accumulation of quantitative change becomes qualitative change.

After Sun Jian's introduction, Liu Bei also got to know several fierce men under Sun Jian, such as Cheng Pu, such as Han Dang, such as Zu Mao, a tall and tall man, quite strong, and very capable of fighting at a glance.

Sun Jian also told Liu Bei that he was willing to become the vanguard of Liu Bei's army, and once there was an enemy, he could drive him forward, and he would lead the Jiangdong soldiers to move forward desperately, and never let Liu Bei be in danger.

This kind of thing doesn't need him to say that Liu Bei will do it, the demeanor of the Jiangdong Tiger, Liu Bei really wants to see it with his own eyes.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, in mid-July of the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen hurriedly led his headquarters to arrive in Meiyang County, where he handed over to the depressed Huangfu Song.

It is worth mentioning that after seeing Liu Bei appear in front of him, Huangfu Song glared at Liu Bei quite unpleasantly, snorted and left, which made Liu Bei a little inexplicable.

It's not you who I impeached, you want to be angry and go to Zhang Rang, what are you looking for me for? Think I'm a soft persimmon good pinch?

Liu Bei then wrote down Huang Fu Song's attitude towards him, and recorded this matter in his small notebook, making sure that Huang Fu Song is now a real enemy, not a friend.
