The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu
Chapter 43: The Sad Liu Bei
Chapter 43: The Sad Liu Bei
Xuzhou, Haixi County.
Inside the county mansion, Liu Bei paced back and forth.
Anxiety was written all over his face. Since Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou, he first led the army into Guangling, but the remnants were defeated, so he had to go to Haixi.
It's just that Haixi is located on the coast, with no more than a thousand households and no more than an hectare of land, and it is sandwiched between Guangling and Donghai counties, almost dead.
At this time, Guan Yu came striding forward, but seeing his expression made Liu Bei's heart skip a beat.
"Yun Chang is back, what did Mi Zhu say?"
Liu Bei asked urgently with urgent eyes.
When he was the shepherd of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu once stated that he was willing to support him to achieve a great cause.Now that he is defeated, it is the time when he urgently needs Mi Zhu's help, after all, the Mi family has a great career.
And Guan Yu's trip was to visit Mi Zhu.
"Brother, when Yu arrived at Mi's residence, the entire Mi family was packing up valuables such as gold and silver."
"Haha, okay, I knew it was impossible for Mi Zhu to abandon me, so he must spend all his wealth to support me." Liu Bei suddenly laughed, and let go of his hanging heart.
"Well, big brother, Mi Zhu seems to want to relocate his family, not to spend all his wealth to support us." Guan Yu raised his hand, a little embarrassed to say.
Liu Bei's sinking heart suddenly raised his throat, and his expression became even tighter, his face twitched, and his voice was trembling: "Second... What do you mean by second brother?"
"Brother, Mi Zhu seems to want to move his family to Nanyang and join Zhang Xiu." Guan Yu was quite annoyed, it was really hateful that this guy turned to Zhang Xiu regardless of his old friendship.
"Go to Zhang Xiu?"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then said with certainty: "This is impossible. Mi Zhu promised me that he would join me in great things. How could he change his mind? What's more, he even intends to promise me his sister."
"Second brother, don't lie to brother."
"Brother, there are lanterns and festoons in Mi's house. Mi Zhen should be getting married, but it seems to be marrying Zhang Xiu!" Guan Yu couldn't bear it, it hurt his elder brother's heart too much.
Apparently, the reason why Mi Zhu started preparations now was because he was careful.But when he learned that Liu Bei was defeated and Zhang Xiu was victorious, he made up his mind to invest in Zhang Xiu.
However, Liu Bei's pupils suddenly opened, and he was stunned.
He took two steps back, slumped to the ground, his eyes were a little loose, and his mood was not beautiful in an instant.
Zhang Xiu snatched his wife away?
Didn't you all promise to give it to yourself?
Why, why did you do this to him?
Xuzhou is lost, soldiers are gone, and now several daughters-in-law are trapped in Xuzhou, finally hoping that a concubine will be robbed halfway by Zhang Xiu, how can he bear it.
Alas, it is too difficult!
When people reach middle age, everything goes wrong!
Seeing his elder brother's ashen face, Guan Yu didn't know how to comfort him, "Brother, you are a descendant of the Han Dynasty and shoulder a heavy responsibility, how can you be so depressed?"
Liu Bei turned his head, glanced at Guan Yu, and once again ignited his fighting spirit. How can a trivial matter break his fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei stood up again.
"That's right. I'm a descendant of the Empress Han. How can I sit idly by and let the emperor fall into the hands of treacherous ministers today. Yun Chang, how many soldiers and horses do we have in our army?"
Liu Bei ignited his fighting spirit and said with fiery eyes.
"Brother, there are less than a thousand people on foot!"
Guan Yu lamented a little. The First World War broke Liu Bei's old background, which is difficult.
"Less than a thousand people?" Liu Bei frowned, but it didn't affect his fighting spirit at all, and said in a deep voice, "Order the three armies to make meals at the third watch tomorrow, and set off at the fourth watch."
"Cooking? Big... big brother, the army has run out of food!"
Guan Yu blushed even more, he couldn't lift his head up to see people after the battle.
Liu Bei: "???"
Can this still be fun?
"Let the grain master write a banner. Later, I will go door-to-door to visit the merchants of the aristocratic families in the city to ask for some grain."
"promise,"
Guan Yu felt admiration in his heart. Even though it was so difficult for his elder brother, he would never rob him.
"By the way, brother, where is our army going to camp?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Go north, run down to Pi, and vote for Lu Bu."
"Vote for Lu Bu?" Guan Yu was displeased for a moment, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "Brother, Lu Bu is as cunning as a fox and as greedy as a wolf, how can you vote for him?"
"I treat Lu Bu well. When he was down and down, I let him occupy Xiaopei. Although he occupies my city now, it should not be difficult to borrow Xiaopei from me."
Liu Bei said solemnly.
"But……"
"You don't need to say much, Yun Chang."
At the same time, at the Xinye Campus.
Zhang Xiu entrusted civil and military affairs, and rewarded his generals with military merits, and the inflatable doll ushered in a new wave of lovers, which made those soldiers who did not get the doll jealous.
…………
In the same year, early September.
With Lu Bu's consent, Liu Bei temporarily stationed in Xiaopei to fight against Cao Cao.Unwilling to be mediocre, he secretly recruited troops to strengthen his team.
Cao Cao then led his troops northward and strangled Yang Feng and others. Yang Feng was powerless to resist, so he fled south in panic and defected to Yuan Shu.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was defeated by Yuan Shao head-on, and he specially garrisoned grain and Yi Jing, but he couldn't defend.Yuan Shao sent Ju Yi as a general to besiege Gongsun Zan and Yi Jing. After a hundred days, they could not defeat them and retreated when they ran out of supplies.
Sun Ce attacked Wang Lang, Wang Lang lost to the enemy and was defeated. He took Kuaiji, Guangling and other places to attach himself, intending to take all Yangzhou and become the overlord of Jiangdong.
In the general mansion,
Looking at the raft of letters coming from everywhere,
Zhang Xiu was not surprised, but heaved a sigh of relief. The historical trajectory has not changed much because of him, and he still has the advantage of foresight.
But I have to take Jingzhou before the wheel of history changes. If I want to achieve supremacy, Jingzhou must be taken.
"My lord, the rice in various places is about to ripen. Organize soldiers to harvest the rice to avoid natural and man-made disasters." Seeing that Zhang Xiu was not so surprised by the military situation, Jia Xu was not worried about it, and said in a low voice with fists folded.
"Well, inform the people all over the place that tomorrow they will sacrifice to the heavens to collect grain, and strive to complete the harvest within ten days." Zhang Xiu nodded and said in a powerful voice.
At this time, there was not much rice. When the yield was good, one mu of field could produce two or three dendrobiums of millet, and two dendrobiums could be produced after shelling.A normal family of five has a monthly ration of about one Dendrobium.
According to the share set by Zhang Xiu, each of them can make a living by planting more than ten acres of land.Of course, this is based on the fact that Zhang Xiu has no tax and the harvest is [-]/[-].
You know, land annexation was serious at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Eighty percent of the common people are tenant farmers, without their own land, tenant farmers can only get [-]% to [-]% of the harvest per mu, and have to pay various taxes. It can be said that they have never had enough to eat.
"No," Jia Xu agreed.
"By the way, my lord, the Mi family has already arrived in Xinye, do you need to meet?"
"not see,"
Zhang Xiu said without hesitation.
"My lord, isn't this very good? After all..." Jia Xu raised her eyebrows and said softly.
"It's okay, let them hang out first, and let them have a long memory."
Zhang Xiu waved his hands in disapproval. He originally invited the Mi family sincerely, but the Mi family sat back and watched the changes, and only came with the whole family when they saw that they had won. Do you really think you don't understand their little things?
"promise,"
Jia Xu nodded and agreed.
