Jiao He has been anxious lately.

Since the decision to go west to the alliance, Jiao He has felt that he has been unlucky.

Enthusiastically led the troops to the alliance, but before he arrived at the camp of the sour date alliance, Xu He of Le'an began to make trouble, and Jiao He had to give up the alliance and return to Qingzhou to resist the Yellow Turban bandits.

As a result, when he arrived in Qingzhou, he was ambushed by Xu He for a while, and fled back to Linzi City in embarrassment.

This year, the frequent dispatch of troops to recruit Xu He not only failed to kill Xu He, but made Xu He's momentum bigger and bigger.

originally wanted to concentrate the forces of the counties and states in Qingzhou and unify the decrees, but as a result, Chen Ji of the Plains Country and Kong Rong of the Beihai Kingdom did not take Jiao He seriously at all.

Chen Ji directly gave up the plain to Liu Bei, and then said that he was sick.

A dignified Qingzhou assassin history, the decree can only be implemented in Le'an, Qi and Jinan, which makes Jiao He quite aggrieved.

The most anxious and anxious is this autumn.

In order to conquer Xu He, Jiao He apportioned money and grain to the wealthy families of Le'an, Qi and Jinan to suppress bandits, and even gave the Maocai quota to Bochang Renyi.

The rich and powerful families of Le'an, Qi and Jinan agreed to be quite happy, but the wool came out of the sheep, and Jiao He distributed money and grain to the rich and powerful, and the rich and powerful naturally distributed money and grain to the tenants, which intensified the cunning and plundering of the good people.

So much so that just after the autumn harvest, tenants and villagers who could not survive fled their homeland one after another and became homeless.

This can make Xu He happy.

The people who are worried about the lack of people who have seized the city are not enough, and as a result, there are displaced people everywhere.

Xu Heru, with the help of "God", occupied four counties in Le'an and three counties in Qi in one fell swoop, making Jiao He, the history of Qingzhou thorns, a turtle curled up in Linzi City.

This year, Guang was licking his wounds when his grandson was licking, but Liu Bei came to spread the word to the counties again.

A pseudo-position that has not yet been recognized by the imperial court has been passed on to the eleven counties adjacent to Qingzhou?

And Jiao He, who is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, didn't know it until half a month later!

Especially the merchants from the Bohai Kingdom, they still dislike that there are too many Yellow Turban bandits in the Qi Kingdom, the Jinan Kingdom and the Le'an Kingdom, and they are not like the people under the rule of the Plains Kingdom.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was under the banner of Yuan, considering that this caravan was involved with Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, Jiao He would have wanted to send troops to rob the caravan that came to sell grain.

"Hurry up and let me go!"

The Ren Bei in Jiao He's mouth is Bochang Ren Yi.

The Ren family is the first family in Bochang, and it is also the one that supports Jiaohe the most.

Jiao He not only gave Maocai a quota, but also appointed Ren Yi as the driver of Qingzhou.

Not much.

Ren Yi came from outside.

This is a very strong middle-aged man, about forty years old.

As soon as he saw Ren Yi, Jiao He was like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and hurriedly invited Ren Yi to the table.

"Don't drive, Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, and unite with Kong Rong, the prime minister of the North Sea, to pass on to the county adjacent to Qingzhou."

"This thief is hateful, and he almost thinks he is the history of Qingzhou Thorn!"

Jiao He was furious, eager to slaughter Liu Bei.

Ren Yi glanced at the text copied from Jiao He's hand, and immediately understood the reason for Jiao He's anger.

Liu Bei first broke the Yellow Turban thieves of the Plains Kingdom, and then broke the Yellow Turban thieves of the Beihai Kingdom.

Compared with Jiao He, who is shrinking in Linzi City, it is more like the history of Qingzhou Thorn.

Liu Bei deliberately avoided Jiao and Chuanjiao's neighboring counties, and called on all counties to lift the ban on grain trafficking and transport grain into Beihai to help more than 100,000 displaced people.

This reputation of benevolence and righteousness spread directly to Jizhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Compared with Liu Bei, Jiao He's face almost wrote the words "corpse vegetarian meal".

Even Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Dai in the Dong Alliance, and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian were responding to Liu Bei's inscriptions.

No one takes Qingzhou Thorn Shijiao and the name seriously.

Being despised to such an extent that it is not normal for Jiao and not to be angry.

"Envoy, although Liu Bei is brave and good at fighting, and he is famous in the four states, after all, he is just trying to defend the plains." Ren Yi said indifferently: "The envoy is the assassin of Qingzhou, and he summoned Liu Bei to ask for the name of the thief." ”

"If Liu Bei comes, this broken yellow turban thief Xu He is all a good envoy; If Liu Bei doesn't come, he can spread the word to the counties and angrily reprimand Liu Bei for not saving him when he sees danger. ”

"The trial defense is always just a trial defense, and it is not as good as the Qingzhou Thorn History officially appointed by the imperial court."

Jiao He frowned: "Then Liu Bei has never respected the state order, how can he be willing to come?" ”

Ren Yi said with a smile: "The envoy can send people to the Yellow Turban to spread the news, saying that there are a large number of wealthy merchants in Jizhou who transport grain to Qingzhou and want to sell it to Liu Bei, and now most of the grain and grass are in Leling City." ”

"If the Yellow Turban Thief gets the news, he will definitely raise troops to attack Leling City."

"At that time, regardless of whether Liu Bei is willing to respect the state order or not, he will have to fight for the envoy."

"Isn't it a beautiful thing to lead the snipe and the clam to compete with each other, so that the king can sit and enjoy the benefits?"

Jiao He was happy to hear it: "Don't be worthy of being a sage in the world, and your strategy is unparalleled!" Only by planning like this can I solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Ren Yi secretly sneered.

Although Ren Yi is now Jiao He's other driver and a Maocai recommended by Jiao He, Ren Yi is quite contemptuous of Jiao He.

Jiao He has already funded money and food, but Jiao He was still blocked in the city by the Yellow Turban thieves and did not dare to fight back.

If it weren't for the fame accumulated before, and the reputation of the world's sages, Bochang would have been swept away by the Yellow Turban Thief.

Why didn't Liu Bei and Kong Rong listen to Jiao He's state order?

Because Jiaohe is too wasteful!

The Ren family is a Bochang family, although they support Jiao He, they will not live and die with Jiao He.

The wealthy family survives in troubled times, and the first principle is to preserve the family.

As long as the family is still there, a temporary defeat is acceptable.

gave Jiao He an idea, Ren Yi returned to the mansion, and immediately summoned his younger brother Ren Tao and asked him to go to Beihai Kingdom to send a letter to Liu Bei.

"Jiao He, don't blame me for not preaching morality!"

"I, Bochang Ren, can't be destroyed because of your stupidity."

Jiao He didn't know that he had been betrayed by Ren Yi at this time.

Jiao He, who was quite resentful of Liu Bei, did not consult with other state officials, and directly sent his cronies to spread the news in the Yellow Turban, intending to lure the Yellow Turban thieves to attack Leling City.

At the same time, Jiao He sent people to Beihai to recruit Liu Bei to fight for thieves.

And in the North Sea domestic.

Liu Bei solemnly received Mi Zhong, the messenger of the Mi family.

Although this Mi Zhong is Mi Zhu's cronies and old man, and he was given the surname Mi, after all, this identity is only Mi Zhu's retainer, where has he ever received a guest like Liu Bei?

"Liu Fujun has tormented the villain, and the villain will never dare to enter the table." Mi Zhong hurriedly retreated, but in his heart, he was five points more grateful to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said: "I have heard for a long time that Mi Zizhong of the East China Sea, who is righteous and wealthy, honest and elegant, and is a first-class wise man in Xuzhou." How can I not treat the envoy here today as a guest? ”

"Seeing the messenger is like seeing Mr. Zizhong!"

Sincere eyes, sincere words, and the hospitality that can't find the slightest fault, where can Mi Zhong parry this set of combination punches.

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and stood beside Liu Bei.

Looking at Mi Zhong, who had been impressed by Liu Bei's charm, a smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Ping's mouth.

Liu Bei has a big difference from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei is a person who can sit at the same table with ordinary people and eat the same meals and laugh.

Such a personality charm, from the Magi to the common people, is all killed!

Although his background is not as good as that of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei's "people-friendly" charm is enough to make up for this gap in origin.

Even if you lack the right time and place, as long as you grasp the people, you can still determine the world.

And this kind of quality is also one of the core reasons why Zheng Ping admires Liu Bei and is willing to assist Liu Bei!

The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman.

Liu Bei handed Mi Zhu's letter to Zheng Ping, and his tone could not hide his excitement: "Xianmou, Mi Zizhong trafficked grain to Beihai Kingdom, not only did not accept my purchase of grain, but also gave me money for relief to the victims!" ”

"Such a righteous man, I can't wait to have a long talk with him!"

Other wealthy businessmen came to make money by trafficking grain, but Mi Zhu not only did not make money, but sent money and grain to solve Liu Bei's urgent need.

It is said that it is easy to put icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

The world was in turmoil, and the money and food of the counties became extremely precious.

But Mi Zhu regarded money as dung, and decided to fund Liu Bei to help the victims just because of one of Liu Bei's documents.

This pattern is far from being comparable to ordinary businessmen!

Zheng Ping also admired Mi Zhu's virtue, and pondered for a moment and said: "Fujun, you can give Mi Zizhong the Book of Victory and the Four Peoples Moon Order, as well as the manufacturing method of Quyuan plow. ”

Liu Bei paused, and hesitated: "The Book of Victory, the Four Peoples Moon Order, and Qu Yuan Plough are all treasures of the conspiracy, and they can't let me inherit this favor." ”

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "I am walking in the same way as Fujun, how can we divide people's affection with each other?" The "Book of Victory", "The Order of the Four Peoples" and Quyuan Plough must not only be presented by the prince, but the title page of the book must also have the gift and signature of the monarch. ”

Mi Zhu took the initiative to show favor to Liu Bei, how could Zheng Ping miss the opportunity to win over Mi Zhu.

For Mi Zhu, there is no shortage of money and food, and Liu Bei can't give him an official position at present.

What can really benefit Mi Zhu is the "Book of Sheng", "Four People's Moon Order" and Quyuan Plough.

Professional agricultural theories and advanced productivity tools can make Mi Zhu's wealth in the East China Sea to a higher level.

In troubled times, only common interests can make friendships long-lasting and strong.

For example, Pi Chen Deng, no matter how much he admired Liu Bei at the beginning, he couldn't wait to follow Liu Bei to walk the world.

But the final result was that Chen Deng had to consider the interests of the family and give up Liu Bei.

This can't be said to be unrighteous Chen Deng!

Although Chen Deng did not serve Liu Bei anymore, he has always done his best to help Liu Bei as a friend.

Mi Zhu also married his little sister to Liu Bei, so he scattered his family wealth and worked for Liu Bei wholeheartedly.

Just want to take, but don't want to give, such a relationship is destined to not last.

Only a win-win situation can make the friendship between the two sides unbreakable!

Liu Bei was awe-inspiring.

I also admire Zheng Ping's virtue and strength.

Liu Bei is not a person who twists, so he immediately agreed with Zheng Ping's suggestion and took three agricultural books, "The Book of Bisheng", "The Order of the Four Peoples" and "Quyuan Plough".

On the title pages of the three agricultural books, Zeng Yan and his signature were left.

Then he carefully packed it in a wooden box, then handed it to Mi Zhong, and solemnly advised: "The three books in the wooden box are worth no less than 10,000 gold." ”

"Don't hand it over to Mr. Zizhong!"

Three books worth no less than 10,000 gold?

Mi Zhong was startled, and instantly felt that the wooden box had become very heavy, so that Mi Zhong did not dare to be negligent.

But Mi Zhong is also an old man who has experienced a lot of major events with Mi Zhu, and his heart is also calmer than ordinary people.

Slightly relieved, Mi Zhong bowed and said: "Liu Fujun rest assured, the villain will definitely hand it over to the head of the family!" ”

personally sent Mi Zhong out of the city, Liu Bei's mood could not be calmed for a long time.

"With these three books, Mi Zizhong must be able to feel my sincerity." Liu Bei looked in the direction of Mi Zhong's departure and couldn't help but sigh.

These days, Liu Bei is too difficult!

Although the situation has been gradually improving in the predetermined direction, Liu Bei always remains humble and walks on thin ice, for fear that one inadvertent will cause the displaced people to rebel again.

Fortunately, with the support of Zheng Xuan.

The resettlement of more than 100,000 displaced people in the Beihai country has gradually entered the formalization.

Although Zheng Xuan is not a scholar, he has many protégés.

Among these protégés, many have not yet officially become officials, but after being called by Zheng Xuan, they rushed to Beihai to help Liu Bei and Kong Rong settle the displaced people.

For these scholars, coming to Beihai is not only to repay their teacher's kindness, but also to experience.

The book is shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

This is equivalent to Beihai Kingdom providing a large number of internship positions for Zheng Xuan's protégés!

With this internship perception of the resettlement of displaced people, Zheng Xuan's protégé will have a deeper understanding of whether he will be a scholar or annotate classics in the future.

Riding horses in parallel, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping returned to the mansion.

But as soon as he returned, there was a man waiting in front of the mansion.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei and Zheng Ping, this person hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Bochang Ren Tao, on the order of my brother, I am here to pay a visit." There are confidential important matters to be submitted to Liu Fujun. ”

Bochang?

Liu Bei's eyes changed slightly: "Dare to ask Brother Ling's name?" ”

Ren Tao hurriedly said: "My brother is secretive, and now he has been requisitioned as Qingzhou." ”

Don't drive in Qingzhou?

Liu Bei's eyes were more cautious: "Ren Beijia has confidential and important matters, why don't you go to the official document, but write it privately?" ”

Ren Tao glanced left and right, presented the secret letter, and lowered his voice: "Jiao He fornicated with the yellow scarf and wanted to harm Liu Fujun!" ”

Liu Bei's face changed, and he quickly spread out the secret letter, but saw that the secret letter was in office to spread the news to the Yellow Turban, and intended to lead the Yellow Turban to attack Leling City, a concise and concise statement.

"Jiao and dog thieves, how dare you do this!" Liu Bei's anger ignited instantly.

Attracting troops, Liu Bei was already worried about the Plains Kingdom.

Now Jiao He deliberately spread rumors to the Yellow Turban, wanting the Yellow Turban to go to Leling City, which made Liu Bei subconsciously sound the past when he was the county lieutenant of Gaotang County and was ambushed by Xu Qi.

"You go back and tell Mr. Zi Min that my Liu Bei has written down his kindness!" Liu Bei bowed solemnly to Ren Tao.

Ren Tao hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Liu Fujun, I will inevitably be suspicious of Jiao He, I should not stay for a long time, so I will retire first." ”

Sending Ren Tao away, Liu Bei was still angry, and when he was about to complain to Zheng Ping for advice, he saw Zheng Ping shaking a feather fan, looking like he couldn't help but smile.
