The autumn rain in Guangling City did not fall.

Zhao Chen also did not prepare rain gear, and it seemed that it was expected that it would not rain today.

The dark clouds of the previous second also wrapped the morning sun tightly and hid it behind the clouds.

In the next second, the warm sunlight shone through the layers of dark clouds and sprinkled on the streets and alleys of Guangling City.

Liu Bei and Zhao Chen rode their horses hand in hand, they were not like lords and ministers, but more like two familiar friends, pointing to the corners of the city, telling the difficulties of the battlefield a few days ago.

Behind him were three generals, red-faced Guan Yu, leopard-faced Zhang Fei, meticulously presented, and a gentleman was Jian Yong.

The people in the city came out one after another to welcome them, all because they had long heard of Liu Bei's wisdom and kindness, and knew that as long as Liu Bei entered Guangling City, Guangling City would have hope, and they would be able to live well in this troubled era.

The people are simple, their requirements are not high, there is a bite to eat, a piece of clothing to wear, a piece of land to plant, go out to work in the morning, and come back in the evening to warm the kang head of the wife and children, it is enough.

But this is the most difficult thing to get in the troubled times is this peace, the land has been annexed, the houses have been destroyed by the war, the grain has been requisitioned by the army, and even the people have been dragged to join the army.

It's easier said than done.

And Liu Bei is their hope, the hope that they can live in peace in troubled times.

Zhao Chen admired Liu Bei from the bottom of his heart, and during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no second person who could love the people like Liu Bei.

Among the crowd of ordinary people, a man dressed plainly saw Liu Bei leading into the yamen and hurriedly ran into the alley east of the city.

ran all the way into a mansion and reported what he saw to the housekeeper surnamed Xu.

The housekeeper surnamed Xu hurriedly walked into the study and told the eldest and second masters all this.

These two people are Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

Mi Zhu rummaged through the letter in front of him and muttered, "It's a day earlier than the agreed time." August 14 into Guangling City, really a strange person, Liu Xuande's military advisor Zhao Chen, really a strange person! ”

Mi Fang was also very excited: "Big brother, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu and defeated Sun Ce, which means that we bet on the right one, and betting on the fate of the whole family is the right bet." ”

Mi Zhu nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief.

When he received Liu Bei's letter, he made up his mind to pin the fate of the whole family on Liu Bei, and to be honest, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

At that time, Liu Bei only had 3,000 men and horses, and he was still trapped in Haixi County, with no way out.

No strategically minded businessman would invest money in a project that is highly likely to fail.

There are so many projects to choose from, Mi Zhu doesn't know why he has a soft spot for Liu Bei, and even thought about marrying Liu Bei.

Liu Bei responded to Mi Zhu's firm support with victory after victory.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, he broke Yuan Shu three times, defeated Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and took the entire Guangling County, completing what the Chen family had not been able to complete for so many years.

What's more, the difference before and after is that there is one more person, the military advisor Zhao Chen.

This Zhao Chen seems to have the ability to turn decay into magical immortal arts, with the ability to turn the tide in his mind, and his eyes are full of insight into all things.

It seems that in his eyes, breaking through thousands of troops is as simple as drinking water and eating.

Without him, it can only be said that Zhao Chen's resourcefulness is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Mi Zhu was very excited, because he understood that his strategic investment had once again succeeded.

What's more, the happiness of her sister Mi Luyun has been half guaranteed.

"Big brother, Liu Xuande can ride side by side with Zhao Houde, standing in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is enough to see that Zhao Chen's status in Liu Xuande's army is above 10,000 people."

Mi Zhu smiled and nodded: "Quickly prepare the gift book of the tribute materials, and present it to Liu Xuande tomorrow." ”

Mi Fang hurriedly went to the desk in the study to get the list, and replied: "Big brother, the gift book has already been prepared. ”

"Good!" Mi Zhu looked at the gift book and immediately changed his words, "I can't wait for tomorrow, let's go immediately, if it's late, it may affect the entire Mi family." ”

At this time, Mi Luyun trotted all the way into the study, with uncontrollable joy on his face: "Big brother, Houde and Liu Xuande have entered the city together." ”

Mi Zhu looked at his sister's red face and smiled.

I have never seen her so attentive to the son of which family, when she went down to Picheng, many wealthy businessmen also came to the Mi family to ask for marriage, and Mi Luyun just smiled and easily refused, let alone took the initiative.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen, who has no family background, no money and power, and has not even seen him in person, actually makes his sister Mi Luyun so concerned.

Mi Zhu shook the gift book in his hand in front of Mi Luyun and said, "Sister sit with peace of mind, brother will go to the county government to see Liu Xuande and Zhao Houde now." Look at what my future brother-in-law looks like, with such extraordinary resourcefulness. ”

was broken by the eldest brother, Mi Luyun's face became even more ruddy, and she covered her face and ran back to the boudoir with her face shy.

The county government of Guangling City is much better than that of Huaiyin City, at least the façade looks new.

The previous Taishou Wu Jing was also a promising person, and he had a good set of governing the county, but he fell into the trap of the times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the administration and law enforcement were biased towards the rich, which made the people resentful.

This is also inevitable, people born in this era, if they want to jump out of the framework of the times, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Unless, like Zhao Chen, from later generations, he examines Wu Jing's governance from a historical perspective to see the problems at a glance.

Thinking of Wu Jing, Zhao Chen frowned.

Although Guangling City was successfully won, there are still many things to deal with.

Wu Jing, who belongs to Yuan Shu, from the perspective of ability, can at least be a party to guard, and it should not be a big problem to defend a city, and his governance can also be used. But this person is related to Sun Ce, so it is impossible for him to use it, so he can only see what resources he can get in exchange.

As for Sun Ce's subordinate Huang Gai, he is a hero, a pillar of Jiangdong, if he can be included in Liu Bei's account, he will have another tiger general. It's a pity that this difficulty is also at the purgatory-level level.

Sometimes Zhao Chen admires Sun Ce, at least he is not suspicious in employing people, and his subordinates are extremely loyal. Unlike Yuan Shu, Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and other princes, although they were rampant in the Central Plains for a while, they lacked excellent imperial skills, and let their subordinates leave for some interests or even a nominal jade seal, and in the end no one was available, so there was no reason to be undefeated.

You know, troubled times are people-oriented, and no one is nothing.

There is also the issue of the reconstruction of Gwangneung County.

In addition to Guangling City in Guangling County, Huaiyin and Huaipu are okay, and the third echelon such as Gaoyou basically needs to be rebuilt, and the pressure is huge. Since this place is to be Liu Bei's hometown, it is natural to take good care of it, at least to give full play to the effect of the Jianghuai Plain, so that the grain output can be greatly increased, and the people can only have the strength to produce when they are full.

Liu Bei took Zhao Chen's hand as if he had nothing to do, and went all the way to the county government hall.

He is the most relaxed, and Zhao Chen has advice every time.

The lobby had been cleaned up, and everyone sat down in turn.

was preparing for a discussion, and suddenly heard a report from the guard, Mi Zhu asked to see.
