In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the leader of the Zhuo County rangers and heroes, was named the county lieutenant of Anxi County because of his contribution to quelling the local Yellow Turban Rebellion.

He is like a lone wolf without a nest, wandering in the land of Kyushu, sometimes serving a certain warlord, sometimes serving a certain powerful place, like duckweed floating in this troubled world, he has never been able to have a real foundation of his own and establish a military and political team based on himself.

However, what Ye Zhiqiu found out from the villagers was that Liu Bei befriended the county officials with a lot of money, not only exempted from being dismissed by the superintendent according to the order of the imperial court, but instead sat firmly in the position of county lieutenant of Anxi County. Later, he was transferred to Qing'an County and began to serve as a county magistrate.

"The temporary county lieutenant can be transferred to the head of a county, and the brain of this King Jing of Zhongshan is inevitably too good. The left and right are just the leaders of the ranger heroes, the leaders of dynamic social organizations, and they have such good officialdom tactics, which is a bit inconsistent with the rumors. Should I come to the door and offer myself, or should I wait and see?"

Ye Zhiqiu felt that his "foreknowledge" did not have much reference value, the changes in the world were too fast, and it was not at all an acting novel that could be described in detail, at least in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there were no monsters, no Qingqiu fox clan, and no Yellow Turban wrestlers.

"Could it be that the biggest variable of the manifestation of the Dao Law has caused the background of the entire era to change? Even Yu Poison, a fierce general on the battlefield, and a great master of double cultivation of law and martial arts, have all suffered defeats, and I still try to hide my clumsy skills. ”

Ye Zhiqiu settled down in Qing'an County, Zhuo County, and as a traveling bachelor, he sought a position as a secretary in the chamber of commerce of a wealthy businessman. He was proficient in basic mathematics and the writing of this world, and soon rose to the top of the ranks among the mediocre people, and was appreciated by the masters behind the Chamber of Commerce, and in a short period of time, he was promoted to the chief minister.

It didn't take long for Ye Zhiqiu to confirm the identity of the main family, and it turned out to be a horse dealer from Zhongshan County, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who had funded Liu Bei earlier.

"Two hundred good horses, three thousand taels of gold and silver, and one thousand eight hundred pounds of iron. I vaguely remember that the number was a bit different, and the two wealthy merchants who traded horses to and from the north seemed to be quite optimistic about this King Jing of Zhongshan and doubling their investment. ”

Ye Zhiqiu pressed his mind and didn't say anything, and made up his mind to use the channels of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to slowly approach Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, whose faces had already become vague.

One day, the great treasurer was assigned by the owner's family to organize a caravan to the northlands to negotiate with the nomadic tribes to buy a batch of horses.

I don't know if someone saw the red leaves and knew that Qiu had risen to power in a short period of time, and the big shopkeeper put him into the caravan going north, responsible for the purchase, counting the furs and entering the accounts, and selling tea, coarse salt and other goods with a bullish market.

Ye Zhiqiu immediately understood that the opportunity had come, this trip to the north, it would be fine if nothing happened, and once something happened, it would be the time for him to come forward. When the time comes, he will reveal his identity as a qi refiner and solve problems with the technique of the left path, and he will definitely enter the eyes of the master's family, and use this as a step to advance, and then be recruited by Liu Bei, who is eager to seek talent.

Nowadays, the county magistrate of Qing'an County has taken advantage of the opportunity of the chaos and land abandonment to carry out the annexation of the ownerless wasteland in the county, and there are nearly 10,000 acres of high-grade fertile land, and there are about the same number of ripe fields in the next place, not only becoming the largest landlord in the county, but also wantonly recruiting displaced people as tenants to support family soldiers and capable minions.

Tourists and businessmen all know that the county magistrate of Qing'an County has opened up his own team, accepted scholars and Confucian scholars as his staff, and actively made suggestions and suggestions for the benefit of the local people. Such a virtuous name, Shilin praised it, and it was clearly a rare able minister in the north.

Ye Zhiqiu watched this coldly, watching the increasing power of King Jing of Zhongshan, and the subway barrel operated in Qing'an County as if outsiders could not splash water and needles. Liu Bei presided over the construction of water conservancy, restored post roads, pulled a group of local gentry to beat a group, and stood firm on his feet, not like a novice in officialdom at all, but simply a child of an official family with a long history.

Before the caravan left, the chief shopkeeper remembered the salary of the newly promoted director Ye Zhiqiu's filial piety for the month, and specially reminded him: "There is a gang of thieves in the east, coercing many homeless people, under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, it is said that they will go to the Black Mountain Army in the near future, you have to be careful on the way." ”

Ye Zhiqiu understood this, and knew very well that the money he gave was useful, so he would hear the information that he only knew at the level of the big shopkeeper, so he smiled and nodded lightly, and said a lot of flattering words.

Before the crossing, although Ye Zhiqiu was an otaku, he gained knowledge from various channels, including office politics, and was very proficient in interpersonal communication and various horse slapping routines.

Others will do the same routine, but the most critical point is that Ye Zhiqiu dares to say anything, unlike some people who hide it, for fear that their words will be too explicit and make people look down on them.

It didn't take long for the caravan to buy horses from the north out of Qing'an County, although it was safe and sound under the rule of "Xuande Gong", according to the practice of the Chamber of Commerce, it still sent guards on horseback to explore the road in front and investigate.

Zhongshan merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang befriended several nomadic tribes in the north, exchanging scarce coarse salt and tea for good furs and good horses. They have been in business for many years, and they have long been up and down to pave a broad road.

If it weren't for the repeated uprisings of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in various places, which led to the chaos of the current situation, their business would have been much bigger. Now, the two of them have invested in Liu Bei, not only getting several times or more than ten times the return, but also completely getting into Liu Xuande's chariot after King Jing of Zhongshan, starting slowly and advancing forward.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that they were actively selling horses, which was nothing more than for the private soldiers of Qing'an County, and they would be transferred from the infantry army to cavalry as soon as possible, and with the homeless army that fed every day and practiced hard, a mixed army of five thousand infantry and cavalry would soon take shape.

"Why haven't the outless thieves shown up yet? I've been waiting for the flowers!"

These days, Ye Zhiqiu would make an altar of soil every night, worship Xingdou, borrow the power of Beidou, and seal it on the short sword he carried with him. Gradually, the death power of the Big Dipper soaked through the sword body, and it was turned into a murder weapon, which had the characteristics of both a murderous soldier and a magic weapon.

"After the system identification, the magic sword certified as +1, ordinary people have a lot of physical protection, but if it is the flow of ghosts and resentful spirits, and they are stabbed by this Big Dipper Sword, they will die and can't die anymore, and even ghosts can't do it. I'm really looking forward to the fact that there are a few sideways people in the rogue on the east side, so that I can show my means when the time comes. ”

The caravan left Qing'an County and walked all the way to the north, during which the guards who were exploring the road in front found that there were people snooping on the side of the road, and did not dare to do anything wrong, but immediately continued to investigate, and let one person turn back to the caravan to warn.

After Ye Zhiqiu knew about this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It's really sleepy to come to the pillow." After a few days of hibernation, it was my turn to wield. ”

He gently clamped his legs, and the fat and strong big green donkey, ahhh...... He screamed a few times, quickly opened his hooves, and walked to the front of the caravan.

This ordinary grass donkey bought by the cart and horse dealership, under the influence of Ye Zhiqiu, sprouted a slight inspiration, at least compared to its peers, it is more humane.

Everyone in the caravan was on guard, and slowly passed through a mountain pass, when suddenly there were shouts from the left and right, and a group of thieves and rogues who occupied the mountain were showing their faces one after another.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced up, and when he saw the person in charge, the mount that didn't have a moment of rest under his crotch, he finally couldn't help laughing.

"What is this? Chewing an iron sword, an iron-eating beast? The legendary spirit beast Pixiu? Looking at its appearance, I thought it was a wild giant panda!"
