"Xuezhou can also be regarded as a bandit in Xuzhou, and has been entrenched in the western part of Guangling Sea over the years, but most of them are entrenched in this small island on the sea.

It can be regarded as a big disaster in Guangling.

His people are quite brave, and they are also regarded as a kind of faith, and they have been robbing places for many years, gathering heroes, and now they have gathered tens of thousands of households..."

At this time, Chen Deng, who was from Xuzhou, was explaining to Liu Bei and others who this Xuezhou was.

At the beginning, when everyone knew that this Xue Zhou was just a thief, Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but show a sneer.

Even Liu Bei, who served as a state pastor in Xuzhou and even fought a defeat in Guangling, to be honest, didn't think much of him Xuezhou.

After all... Thieves, there are so many thieves who don't enter the stream these years.

But when Chen Deng told them that tens of thousands of households had gathered in this Xue Prefecture at this time, this thing was not right.

"Tens of thousands?" At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh for a while, "If it's tens of thousands of households... That means that he can draw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses at any time.

If you grit your teeth again, you can even draw out nearly 20,000 people..."

"And there is plenty of grain and grass and a field of land!" At this time, Jia Xu couldn't help but speak, and there was a bit of light in his eyes while stroking his beard, "A thief can't feed tens of thousands of households just by robbing." ”

The so-called tens of thousands of households are not tens of thousands, a conservative estimate of a household is about five people, and even up to ten people...

He Zhang Yan was entrenched in Taihang Mountain, forcing Emperor Xiaoling to reward him with Zhonglang General, which is this number.

Even if there are frequent wars now, the population of this household will shrink, but even if it shrinks by half, it will be nearly 30,000 people!

30,000 people... Now some counties in Xuzhou may not have this number.

Or certainly not that number.

A thief has fed 20,000 or 30,000 people and governed 20,000 or 30,000 people, and neither his ability nor prestige can be compared with ordinary people.

At this time, even Liu Xie, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but sigh and say that the capable people in this world are really... One that only serves as a backdrop in the history books.

Let them explain that they still have such a ability.

Ay... Liu Xie was hit again, he felt that if he didn't have the identity of the emperor, he might not even be able to compare with the background board in the biography of a person who was not so important.

No, it must not be compared...

"Since this Xue Zhou has such a ability, then we can't blindly attack, so as not to have a lose-lose situation." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie very gloomily.

At this time, Liu Bei's heart had already given birth to a bit of love for talent, and he knew that he was going to prepare to attack Huainan next, so accumulating strength was a crucial existence.

If the people of Xuzhou are directly recruited, and then trained and adjusted, and weapons are built to prepare grain and grass, it will inevitably waste a lot of time.

But if you can collect Xue Zhou, and then you can use it directly with a little training, and you can also have a lot of armor and grain in your arms.

This is killing two birds with one stone!

And when Liu Bei saw that Liu Xie nodded slightly, a smile appeared directly on his face.

"Yuanlong, what can you do?"

At this time, Chen Deng also had some thoughts in his heart, and after seeing the smile on Liu Bei's face, he immediately understood that they thought of each other again.

"Actually... Deng felt that it was not difficult to pacify Xuezhou, and there was no need for us to fight it to the end.

Most of the soldiers and horses under his command were just people from Guangling County.

Or was forced to flee his hometown because of Yuan Shu's obscenity, so he joined Xue Zhou's command to avoid trouble.

Now that we have killed Nachangnu and recovered Guangling County, as long as we are good at governing Guangling in the future, we will spread the news.

The long is a year, or the short is a few months, and the people who fled can return again, and Xue Zhou is surrounded by grace, so he will not dare to forcibly stop it.

When we wait for the governance of Guangling to really see the results, then Xuezhou will naturally be self-defeating! ”

There was nothing wrong with Chen Deng's words, even Jia Xu nodded towards Liu Bei at this time.

This method of surrendering without a fight is indeed the best, and it is also the most inexplicable.

"Since Xue Zhou can gather thousands of households without the name of brutality, and there is no past of repeatedly robbing states and counties, I don't think it is an ordinary bandit and thief.

He became a common people, so if he is defeated, he will naturally be a common people.

As long as we can influence the people, we will be able to do the same... Very good! ”

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Bei also immediately agreed, but at this time, Chen Deng stood up again.

"If you govern Guangling, Deng can have this certainty.

But if you want to really control Guangling, and... There is a problem with this. ”

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with a little embarrassment, although he didn't say the words directly, but Liu Bei also understood.

"Yuan Long said... But what about Lu Bu? ”

"Exactly!" At this time, Chen Deng smiled helplessly, "Even if this Lu Fengxian is so ambitious now, he will never see someone else sleeping soundly on the side of his couch."

Therefore..."

"Does Yuan Long think that if I wait here, it will make Lu Bu worried?"

"It doesn't hurt if it's just that, Deng is sure to persuade Lu Bu to let him let his guard down against Xuande, but... As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the word is not good..."

At this time, Chen Deng finally stopped hiding, and at this point he had to get something.

Guangling County went to Guofu County, and Guangling was too guarded by the position, he was bound to win!

As for why he thinks Liu Bei can do it?

Not to mention the past when Ma Riyan held the festival to appease the Kanto, even along the way, Liu Bei continued to issue all kinds of holy decrees, Chen Jun, Peiguo...

These places Liu Bei fully proves that His Majesty has given him enough rights!

Compared with the things Liu Bei did in Yuzhou, he knew that his Guangling Taishou was not a problem.

Sure enough, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head when he looked at Chen Deng at this time.

"Yuanlong... Prepare to talk about you! ”

Liu Bei, the official who faced Chen Deng, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, he was not relying on friendship to ask for an official position, nor was he relying on fame.

He really relies on his own skills, which is called exchange!

Liu Bei admired!

Well... Yes, anyway, in Liu Bei's eyes, as long as it is done by his family Yuanlong, it must be right!

At this time, Liu Bei, who had already received Liu Xie's permission, was no longer polite, and directly took out the two edicts that had been prepared, as well as the scepter that had been prepared a long time ago.

"By order of His Majesty..."

Under Liu Bei's announcement of holding a scepter, Guangling County was removed because the Marquis of Guangling had no heirs, and it was officially changed to Guangling County!

Chen Deng, a native of Xiapi in Xuzhou, was the county guard, and Liu Bei temporarily garrisoned Guangling to supervise the military and political affairs of Guangling.

Although there are still things about Liu Bei in this, Chen Deng and Liu Bei both know that Liu Bei is responsible for Guangling's military affairs and the recruitment of soldiers and horses, and all government affairs are handed over to Chen Deng.

Liu Bei will not have any resistance and dissatisfaction with Chen Deng...

After getting the appointment he wanted, Chen Deng stopped talking nonsense, and immediately made a big salute to the scepter, and then hurried back to Xiapi with the edict.

At this time, in Xiapi City, Lu Bu had been waiting for a long time.

Before he sent Chen Deng to meet Liu Bei, who had grievances and hatreds with him, he wanted to formally ask for the position of Xuzhou pastor, so that he could become Xuzhou pastor justifiably.

But now, he, the Xuzhou pastor, didn't get it, but let Chen Deng get the Guangling Taishou.

This, of course, made him want to be angry.

However, Chen Deng had already figured out Lu Bu's temper, and under a flicker that seemed to be true and false, he successfully dispelled Lu Bu's doubts.

also successfully obtained the right to supervise Liu Bei's army from Lu Bu...

Similarly, at Chen Deng's suggestion, Lu Bu also completely gave up his plan to be a pastor in Xuzhou, and instead set up his henchman Zhang Hong as the assassin of Xuzhou, which can be regarded as completely nailing himself to the pillar of the anti-thief villain, and this self-reliance method is played thoroughly.

Of course, as a price, Chen Deng's family was all in Xiapi City at this time, which could be regarded as the biggest reliance on Lu Bu's reassurance.

After receiving Liu Xie's appointment and Lu Bu's approval, Chen Deng rushed back to Xiapi again, and then began to govern Guangling with Liu Bei.

First of all, Chen Deng asked Liu Bei to take over the defense of Guangling, on the one hand, to suppress those thieves who were engaged in chaos and looting, and on the other hand, to guard against the counterattack of Yuan Shu.

At the same time, he began to govern in Guangling County under the name of Xuzhou Chen.

The county was moved from Guangling to the more suitable Sheyang County, and at the same time, strict rewards and punishments were enforced, on the one hand, punishing the inferior gentry and unscrupulous officials, returning farmland to the people, and at the same time rewarding meritorious and honest officials.

While leading by example, he emphasized the rule of authority, clarified the law, and used his practical skills to let Liu Xie see how today's virtuous ministers govern the place.

The means made Liu Xie, who was secretly observing and recording, couldn't help but be amazed.

Under Chen Deng's governance, in just a few months, Guangling has returned to normal, and a large number of people began to return to life and continue to cultivate the land.

And in this, the biggest influence is naturally the Guangling giant Kou Xue Zhou.

After getting through the initial confusion and hesitation, a large number of people began to return to the fields, wanting to continue to live that peaceful life.

Xue Zhou was of course unwilling to give up the soldiers and horses in his hands so much at first.

From looting to raiding, Xue Zhou also tried his best.

But he couldn't help but have his opponent this time Liu Bei, as well as Jia Xu, who was stronger than Chen Deng.

Plus Xu Huang and Ma Chao, if it weren't for Liu Xie and Liu Bei's orders not to hurt his life, I'm afraid this guy wouldn't even survive May and would have to be folded in the hands of the imperial army....
