Liu Bei's texts were sent to neighboring counties one after another within half a month.

Such as Jizhou Bohai County, Anping State, Qinghe Country, Hejian Country; Yanzhou Taishan County, Jibei Kingdom, Dongping Kingdom, Ren Chengguo; Xuzhou Langya country, Pengcheng country, Donghai country.

Taishan County Taishou Yingshao, under the persuasion of his younger brother Yingxun, was the first to respond to Liu Bei's letter and let go of the ban on grain trafficking in Taishan County.

Not only that, Ying Shao also personally sent a letter to Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou stationed in Dongping Kingdom, hoping that Liu Dai could call on all counties in Yanzhou to lift the ban on grain trafficking in the name of assassination.

Before that, You Heng was ordered to visit Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and promoted Liu Bei's name of benevolence.

This Liu Dai was originally from the Liu family in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and he was already concerned about the yellow scarves in Qingzhou.

Helplessly, Liu Dai was in Yanzhou, and he couldn't reach the Yellow Turban whip in Donglai County.

As soon as he heard that there were people from the Liu clan who were committed to sweeping the yellow scarves in Qingzhou, Liu Dai was naturally willing.

After receiving Liu Bei's message and Ying Shao's letter, Liu Dai appealed to the counties of Yanzhou to sell grain and rice to Beihai in the name of assassination.

However.

Although Liu Dai is very active, the counties of Yanzhou are not very happy except for Ying Shao.

Especially Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, had a gap with Liu Dai, and immediately replied to Liu Dai with a letter, to the effect that:

I, Qiao Mao, have also been the assassin of Yanzhou before, so I have never been as ignorant as you.

The lifting of the ban on grain trafficking will inevitably lead to a shortage of grain in Yanzhou, and in the event of a natural disaster, there may be a food shortage.

Just because you are from Donglai County, don't let the people of Yanzhou bear the risk of food shortage.

More than 1,000 words are sprinkled with more than 1,000 words, all of which are Liu Dai's words.

Even, Qiao Mao also showed these more than 1,000 words to the guests, for fear that no one would know that he Qiao Mao spoke up about Liu Dai's decree for the sake of the people of Yanzhou.

This made Liu Dai angry.

"Dog thief Qiao Yuanwei, relying on the old and selling the old, has repeatedly insulted me, I swear to kill you!"

Liu Dai immediately summoned his confidant Wang Qiu and asked him to inspect Dongjun and secretly collect evidence of Qiao Mao's crimes.

And Shanyang County is too shou Yuan Yi, Jiyin County is too shou Yuan Xu, and Chen Liujun is too shou Zhang Miao, although they are not as outspoken as Qiao Mao, but they are all pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Although Liu Dai was indignant in his heart, considering the fame of these three people, he did not dare to act rashly.

Only Cui Yan, the prime minister of Jibei, and Zheng Sui, the minister of Rencheng, did not dare to turn a blind eye to Liu Bei's text and Liu Dai's appeal like Zhang Miao and the Yuan brothers.

After all, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Xu did not directly receive Liu Bei's text, and they will not be condemned in general righteousness.

But Cui Yan and Zheng Sui directly received Liu Bei's text, and if they did not agree, they would not only be condemned by righteousness, but also offend Liu Bei, Ying Shao and Liu Dai at the same time.

Although Liu Bei cursed in their hearts, Cui Yan and Zheng Sui could only respond to Liu Bei's text and let go of the county's ban on grain trafficking.

And in the Bohai country of Jizhou.

Yuan Shao, who got Liu Bei's message, repeatedly looked at the text again and again, and then looked at Xu You, Feng Ji, Xun Chen and others around him in confusion.

"Who is this Liu Bei?"

Yuan Shao's circle of friends are all ministers and sons of the family such as Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, etc.

Although the lineup of Dong Shao is luxurious, in fact, almost all of the people who ask Dong are Yuan Shao's relatives, old friends, Yuan's protégés, and colleagues who have worked together under the command of General He Jin.

On weekdays, Yuan Shao made friends with either celebrities, ministers, or sons of the family.

Now suddenly a person who called himself Liu Bei came to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was stunned.

On Yuan Shao's left side, Xu You, who had an arrogant face, twisted his short hair and sneered: "Originally, it doesn't matter who this Liu Bei is. The important thing is that you can use this Liu Bei's text to plan this Jizhou event! ”

Xu You was originally a famous person in Nanyang, and he had a great relationship with Yuan Shao since he was a child.

This is close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, not all the way people can't go all the way.

Yuan Shao is good at raising dead soldiers, and often has great ambitions.

Xu You was also a bold man, and when the Yellow Turban was just suppressed, he conspired with heroes such as Wang Fen and Zhou Jing of Jizhou to abolish Liu Hong and establish the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor.

After the defeat, Xu You hid under Yuan Shao, and then followed Yuan Shao to join He Jin's command.

After Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, Xu You, Yuan Shao and Feng Ji fled from Luoyang and raised troops in the Bohai Sea to fight against Dong.

Although he failed to ask for Dong, Xu You secretly offered Yuan Shao a secret plan.

Instigated Jizhou Mu Han Fu and supported the great Sima Liu Yu as the emperor!

Although Han Fu is a protégé of the Yuan family, he has a lot of precautions against Yuan Shao, for fear that Yuan Shao's prestige will be too great, so that the Taishou and the country of the nine counties of Jizhou will be contrary to him, the Jizhou Muyang.

not only sent people to monitor Yuan Shao before begging Dong, but also dragged Yuan Shao back in various ways when he was begging Dong.

Yuan Shao had long wanted to replace Han Fu.

But firstly, there is little food and soldiers in the Bohai country, and secondly, it is not right to rob the name of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao can only endure and lurk.

And Xu Yu's secret plan was to use Han Fu's arrogance to make him support Liu Yu as emperor.

If Liu Yu is called the emperor, then Yuan Shao doesn't have to compete with Han Fu for Jizhou Mu, this general is none other than Yuan Shao!

But what made Yuan Shao depressed was that this Han Fu was too wasteful, and he persuaded Liu Yu back and forth I don't know how many times, but he couldn't get Liu Yu to agree.

And this kind of thing, Yuan Shao can't persuade Liu Yu in person.

Hearing Xu You mention using Liu Bei's text to plot major affairs in Jizhou, Yuan Shao suddenly became interested: "Ziyuan, you and I have a friendship, don't cover it up like this, just say it." ”

There was a little more yin in Xu You's tone: "Whether this Liu Bei buys grain to save the people, whether he is seeking fame or profit, for the wealthy businessmen of Jizhou, they can get huge benefits by opening the ban on grain trafficking and trafficking grain to Qingzhou." ”

"Therefore, at the beginning, we should not only support, but also personally call on the wealthy merchants of Hejian, Anping, Qinghe, Wei, Zhao, Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu and Bohai to support Liu Bei's purchase of grain."

"Let the people of Jizhou know the original benevolence and love for the people."

"In this way, the wealthy businessmen of the wealthy family have benefited, and they have gained fame at the beginning, even if Han Fu is afraid of the beginning, he is powerless at this time."

"If you don't stop it, the nine counties of Jizhou will all hear the good name of Benchu Rende; If it is stopped, then Han Fu will not only not save him when he sees the danger, but also make the wealthy businessmen unprofitable. ”

"He entered Jizhou with a yellow scarf in Qingzhou, and Han Fu is the culprit!"

"No matter how Han Fu chooses, what will benefit in the end is the original!"

Yuan Shao stroked his palms and laughed: "Ziyuan is worthy of being talented!" From this point of view, this Liu Bei's biography has given me a good opportunity to gain a foothold in Jizhou. ”

"Han Wenjie thinks that with the appointment of the edict of the Son of Heaven, he can take charge of the nine counties of Jizhou, which is really ridiculous."

"Even if my uncle dies at the hands of Dong Thief, the prestige of Yuan Men is still not comparable to that of a scholar like Han Wenjie."

"Meng De is now stationed in Dongwu County, Wei County, waiting for me to repair a book, so that Meng De can cooperate with me."

Soon.

Cao Cao got Yuan Shao's letter.

Wei County is adjacent to the Plains Country, and Cao Cao has also heard of Liu Bei, the suddenly rising Plains next door.

In the first battle of Bianshui, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and Wei Zi's soldiers and horses attacked in Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were wounded, and Bao Xin's younger brothers Bao Tao and Wei Zi were all killed.

Cao Cao could only drag the remnants of the defeated army, garrison Dongwuyang, and lick his wounds.

After getting Yuan Shao's letter, Cao Cao suddenly understood in his heart.

Long before the fight against Dong, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao discussed the defeat of Dong and where he should occupy to fight with Dong Zhuo for the world.

Yuan Shao intended to base the Yellow River in the south, block Yan and Dai in the north, and then use the forces of Rong and Di at the same time, and then march south to fight for the world.

And Cao Cao wants to use the power of all the talented people in the world, and then control it with the royal road, and he can defeat Dong Zhuo.

"Originally, this was Jizhou that wanted to take Han Fu." Cao Cao squinted his small eyes and put down Yuan Shao's letter.

Since the defeat of Bianshui, Cao Cao's mentality has begun to change.

The young man who once thought that he could compete with Dong Zhuo by gathering the world's soldiers finally understood after experiencing the cruel reality.

The original sentence "Use the power of all the talented people in the world, and then control it with the royal road, you can defeat Dong Zhuo." It's ideal.

Without a foundation, without soldiers, horses, food, and grass, all ideals and aspirations are empty talk.

And what Cao Cao hates and despises the most is Han Fu.

Among the Dong Alliance, only Han Fu is the only one who will join the alliance as a state pastor!

gathered the manpower and financial resources of the nine counties of Jizhou, and as a result, in addition to using his mouth, it was only how to suppress Yuan Shao's prestige.

"If I help Ben get Jizhou at the beginning, I can also garrison a county, not like sending people under the fence now and being constrained by Han Fu." Cao Cao was calm in his heart.

Although the troops were stationed in Dongwuyang, this Dongwuyang was always under the rule of Han Fu, and whether it was money, food, soldiers and horses, they were all restricted.

Han Fu wants to suppress not only Yuan Shao, but also Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and other righteous soldiers who gather volunteers to fight against Dong but have no foundation.

"Although this Liu Bei is not famous, he can think of spreading the word to various counties and countries, buying food to save the people, and he is also a hero."

"Since Brother Ben intends to use this to plot Jizhou, I should also go to Meng Zhuo to discuss."

Liu Bei's story gradually spread in Jizhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Although Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Dai and others may not really look down on Liu Bei, because of the consideration of their respective interests, they all chose to respond to Liu Bei's writing.

This made Liu Bei and Zheng Ping have a surprise.

After all, this rumor was originally intended to be calculated for counties and states outside Qingzhou.

"I didn't expect that I, Liu Bei, would be able to become famous in Sizhou!" Liu Bei was excited.

The responses from Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Dai gave Liu Bei the excitement of being famous all over the world for the first time.

After many years, they are no longer the unknown Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!

is in the mouth of the upper echelons of real celebrities, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who can be named as plain faces.

"Congratulations to the prince!" Zheng Ping could understand Liu Bei's mood.

Making achievements and becoming famous all over the world is the ambition pursued by the husband.

Liu Bei is now almost thirty.

Before this, not many celebrities in the world could look at Liu Bei squarely.

However, now, Liu Bei's name can be spread in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou!

Although it has just become famous, and it is not possible to use this name to call on celebrities in the four states, this is the first step after all.

Liu Bei solemnly saluted Zheng Ping: "Xian Xian, if it weren't for Youling, I Liu Bei today would probably not even be able to defend Gaotang County, and I would have to flee elsewhere." ”

Zheng Ping's heart was also a lot more relaxed.

Even Zheng Ping himself didn't dare to pat his chest to ensure that this plan would be absolutely successful.

But now, the plan is going more smoothly than expected.

As long as the neighboring counties have lifted the ban on grain trafficking, not to mention the more than 100,000 displaced people in the Beihai Kingdom, plus Xu He's more than 200,000 displaced people, Zheng Ping can also be confident in relocating them.

That's a population of nearly 400,000!

In troubled times, population is the core force.

If there is no population, even if Zheng Ping has amazing talent, it will be difficult to really help Liu Bei gain a foothold in Qingzhou.

This Qingzhou already lacks mountains and rivers, whether it is Jizhou, Xuzhou, or Yanzhou, if you want to invade Qingzhou, Liu Bei can't have much geographical advantage.

If the population is allowed to flow out again, it will be tantamount to lifting the foundation of Qingzhou.

In addition to the surprise, Zheng Ping's thoughts gradually became calm.

"Fu Jun, although the neighboring counties have lifted the ban on grain trafficking, they are also willing to transport grain to Beihai Kingdom."

"But there are still more than 200,000 yellow scarves led by Xu He, in Qi State, Jinan State, and Le'an State."

"If you want to completely quell the trouble of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou at the end of the year, you have a long way to go."

Liu Bei also gradually stabilized his mind.

Although the food matter has been resolved, the Yellow Turban disaster in Qingzhou has not been completely resolved.

If Xu He can't be defeated, even if the wealthy merchants of the neighboring counties are willing to sell grain and rice, they are easy to be robbed by the Yellow Turban thieves on the way.

I'm talking.

The messenger of the Mi clan of the East China Sea country arrived.

"The Mi clan of the East China Sea?" Liu Bei was a little confused: "Xianmou, have we passed on the Mi clan to the East China Sea Kingdom?" ”

Zheng Ping was in his heart.

The Mi clan of the East China Sea is the largest wealthy businessman in Qingxu and Xuzhou.

"Mr. Fu, it seems that there is more than one happy event today." Zheng Ping took out the feather fan on his waist and slapped his shoulder: "The Mi clan of the East China Sea is not weaker than Lu Buwei, a wealthy businessman in the past. ”

"Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, is also a humble and elegant person, if he can get Mi Zhu's help, even if the wealthy merchants of the neighboring counties have repented, the prince will not have to worry about the money and food for the Qingzhou displaced people."

Liu Bei was surprised and delighted: "If you can really get Mi Zhu's help, you will definitely be able to completely pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban by the end of the year." ”

To pacify the Yellow Turban problem in Qingzhou, the most important thing is money and food, and there is enough money and food to settle the displaced people!

Otherwise, even if Liu Bei killed Xu He, he would not be able to solve the scourge of the Yellow Turban entrenched in the Kingdom of Qi, Le'an and Jinan.

But now, the appearance of the Mi messenger of the East China Sea once again gave Liu Beizhen the confidence to raise the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

"Please!"

Liu Bei was excited, for fear of snubbing the messenger of the Mi clan of the East China Sea.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Liu Bei's news of the neighboring counties has reached the ears of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe.

Jiao He, who had a gap with Liu Bei, had already turned resentful in his eyes at this time.

"Liu Bei tried to defend the plains, but he didn't get the pseudo-position of canonization from the imperial court, so he dared to pass it on?"

"Does he think of himself as a Qingzhou assassin?"
