When Yuan Tan heard that Yan Liang led an army of 20,000 people all the way to Linzi, he was overjoyed and suddenly felt that there was hope for recovering the lost territory in Qingzhou.

He hurriedly led 10,000 troops, wanting to keep up with the pace of Zhao Chen's army, preparing to enter the territory of Qi along Shouguang and Yiguo, and attack Yan Liang's army from east to west, so that Zhao Chen ignored it.

But just a few days after the army started, he received news from the front line, Yan Liang ran for a long distance and was killed by Zhao Chen's design, and there were thousands of people left in the 10,000-strong army.

Yuan Tan was shocked, and with everyone's resentment, he returned to Duchang City in a gloomy manner.

It is said that Liu Bei received a letter from Zhao Chen from the messenger "Please keep Xuzhou in peace with the Lord's heart", and his tightly locked brows slowly stretched.

Seeing this, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Sun Qian, who were sitting on the sidelines, gradually eased the pressure in their hearts.

After all, Liu Zhengli's Qu A was broken by Sun Ce, which was related to the safety of the entire Xuzhou, and Cao Cao was still urging troops to attack Yuan Shu and suppress the thieves together.

Yuan Shu's side ignored Yuan Shu because Liu Bei followed Zhao Chen's strategy, which made Yuan Shu quite resentful, and even wanted to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

Fortunately, Yan Xiang, the main bookkeeper, persuaded him, and Yang Hong, who was on the side, also persuaded Yuan Shu not to be impulsive, so as not to anger Liu Bei and raise troops to attack.

After all, at this time, Liu Bei did not send troops, and it was the best state to help Cao Cao.

On the other hand, considering that Liu Bei's Xuzhou may be a retreat in the future, only Liu Bei can fight against Cao Cao now, and he also needs to pass through Xuzhou to return to Jizhou.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to give up.

Now Zhao Chen's letter has given Liu Bei peace of mind to sit in Xuzhou, which is to reassure everyone.

The plan for today is to vigorously develop Xuzhou in accordance with the words left by Zhao Chen before, so that Xuzhou's grain production can be effectively restored.

After Yuan Shu became the emperor, Xuzhou was able to become a rich place.

Marching and fighting is not only a strategy of soldiers and soldiers, but also a competition of national strength.

The three of them listened to Liu Bei's words, looked at each other, and each understood their own task.

These three people were not good at marching and fighting, so Liu Bei didn't think about asking their opinions.

But in business, domestic affairs, and diplomacy, the three of them are good at it.

On the other side, after Guan Yu arrived in Guangling, he rested for a day and then set off for Qu'a again.

On the way, he received a letter from Zhao Chen.

Guan Yu opened the letter and studied it carefully.

The letter said: Yun Chang quickly went to Qu'a, welcomed Liu Zhengli to Dantu, and did not let Liu Zhengli go to Yuzhang County, and then quickly returned to Guangling.

There is another letter to Tai Shi Ci at the bottom.

Liu Miao went to Yuzhang County, but eventually died of illness, but now it is Yuzhang Taishou who has something to do with Zhao Chen.

In the first year of Jian'an, Yuzhang Taishou Zhoushu died of illness, and the position of Taishou was vacant.

According to the principle of Liu Biao's support, Zhuge Xuan should be appointed, but the imperial court had just appointed Zhu Hao as the Taishou, and the two had a conflict.

Liu Miao hurriedly went to Yuzhang County, helped Zhu Hao sit on the position of Taishou, and drove Zhuge Xuan back to Xiangyang Liu Biao.

This is what Zhao Chen does not want to see.

Now that Zhuge Jin has been included in Liu Bei's forces, as long as Zhuge Xuan does not return to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang is very likely to help him defend Yuzhang County, which will make Sun Cewang County sigh.

At that time, let Liu Bei come forward and accept Zhuge Liang, not only to find Zhuge Liang directly, but also to take Yuzhang County, which is a lot of one stone.

In addition, there is a key point.

welcomed Liu Miao back to Guangling, and Tai Shici was really included in Liu Bei's account.

Liu Miao did not die in battle, but died of illness, and I am afraid that Zhao Chen has no way to control this matter.

According to Zhao Chen's estimate, it is estimated that it will only be a few months.

After reading it, Guan Yu put the letter into his arms, patted the position of the letter on his chest, and confidently went to Dantu to greet Liu Xuan.

As Zhao Chen expected, Liu Miao scurried around after defeating Qu A, not knowing where to go.

If Xu Shao was there, I am afraid that he would have boarded the ship from Dantu and gone up to Yuzhang against the current.

But history was changed by Zhao Chen, and Xu Shao is now under Liu Bei's account.

No one gave Liu Miao an idea, and he didn't know where to go.

There is nowhere to be found in the south, all of them are the land of Sun Ce, but he only goes north to the riverside ferry to find opportunities.

According to Zhao Chen's instructions, Guan Yu and Tai Shici led the army to meet near Dantu.

When Liu Miao saw this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Guan Yu across the river to Guangling to settle down.

Tai Shici was grateful for Guan Yu and Zhao Chen's acceptance, although he was not reused by Liu Zhengli, but Liu Zhengli was very honest and prestigious, and he was a good lord.

It's a pity that not long after arriving in Guangling, Liu Zhengli fell ill and died.

Liu Bei ordered Liu Zhengli to be buried and went to Liu Zhengli's hometown to pick up his family and treat him well.

Then, Guan Yu took out Zhao Chen's previous letter to Tai Shi Ci and handed it to Tai Shi Ci.

Everything was as expected in Zhao Chen's letter, between the lines, there was no difference.

Guan Yu had to sigh, the military advisor is really a god!

Tai Shici received a letter, which said: "General Ziyi, Chen has responded to Mr. Genju's request to send troops to recover Donglai soon, if the general is interested, Chen asks the general to go with him." In addition, Liu Zhengli, the general of the association, was invited to return to his hometown. ”

Tai Shi Ci understood what Zhao Chen meant, and he said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, thank you for your kindness to my lord. From today, Ci will go north and work with Mr. Houde to recover Donglai County. ”

The next day, Tai Shici took Liu Zhengli's coffin, and under the attention of Liu Bei and others, he left Guangling City and went all the way north to Donglai County.

Guan Yu looked at Tai Shici, who left in a hurry, and his heart had a change of opinion about this loyal man.

After more than half a month, when they arrived at Donglai Muping, Tai Shici personally buried Liu Zhengli in the land of his hometown, and then went to find Donglai Taishou to manage the system.

Tai Shi Ci originally wanted to persuade Guan Tong to surrender to Zhao Chen, and no longer serve Yuan Tan, so that Donglai County could be as prosperous as Xuzhou.

Guan Tong said disdainfully: "Donglai is a rich land in Qingzhou, and Xuzhou may not be like this. ”

Tai Shici said: "Donglai can have 10,000 acres of fertile land to cultivate, and the people are happy to welcome the officials?" ”

Guan Tong frowned and replied, "No." ”

Tai Shici said again: "Donglai can have hundreds of thousands of households, and the people get rid of the dregs? ”

Guan Tong shook his head again and replied, "No." ”

Tai Shi Ci said again: "Donglai can have a scene where the door is not closed at night, and the soldiers patrol the streets to protect the people? ”

Guan Tong still shook his head: "Not yet." ”

In the face of Guan Tong's three negative answers, Tai Shici said: "The above three scenes can be seen everywhere in Xuzhou County, the big cities of Guangling and Huaiyin are even more desirable, and Xuzhou under the governance of Liu Yuanjun and Zhao Houde, Gaozu is probably not more than this in the world." ”

You must know that Tai Shi Ci has long faced the scene of Qu A not seeing the light of day, lack of food and grass, and the people not having enough to eat, and later came to Guangling and Huaiyin for help, and the scene after entering the city made Tai Shi Ci unforgettable for life.

The flow of people on the wide street, the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems that the troubled times outside Xuzhou have nothing to do with this place.

When I left Xuzhou a few months ago, it was just an ordinary, stable and safe city.

In just a few months, it has become such a prosperous city, Tai Shi Ci couldn't believe his eyes.

This also strengthened Tai Shici's thoughts even more.

Guan Tong was slightly surprised, he never thought that such a rumored prosperous era could appear in Xuzhou.

Looking at Tai Shici's firm eyes, Guan Tong understood that what this person said was definitely not nonsense.

Envy is envy, it is just a matter of surrender, and it is impossible.

Tai Shi Ci underestimated the determination and loyalty of the management system, and could only leave in a huff.
