Liu Bei is really very good at how he behaves and does things, and there are still many people who follow him to leave those people who don't know the truth.

Not for anything else, because they don't have food now, Liu Bei has it, and Liu Bei has always shown love for the people like a son, although he didn't notice it for a while, he made a fuss about the ruffians and hooligans.

But no one is a sage, and Liu Bei immediately took precautions afterwards, distributing food to the people and sending troops to patrol constantly.

But these can deceive most people, but for those who are more intelligent, it is still difficult to hide.

Although they didn't know what happened, they were also skeptical of the government's notice, because all this would not happen together in such a coincidence.

Although suspicious, those who are smart will not talk nonsense, after all, Liu Bei is still in charge at the moment, if he guesses correctly, he is afraid that it will be a disaster.

In this way, the people of the two counties followed Liu Bei and left, and some stayed, and it was chaotic for a while, but fortunately, there was no violence.

All of this is under Liu Bei's control, and since the plan began to be implemented, the cities have only entered and exited, so the news is quite confidential, and not many people know about it.

With the arrival of the seven-day covenant, Tai Shici led 10,000 elite soldiers to Beihai City, preparing to hand over the city defense.

As soon as Tai Shici arrived, Liu Bei didn't ink, and immediately led the army out of the city in person, handed over to him, and the two met, and they didn't talk much nonsense, and went straight to the point.

Liu Bei said without being arrogant or humble: "General Tai Shici, the two cities will be handed over to you, but there are some people who are willing to follow Bei and leave, I hope you don't mind." ”

Whoever is in the hearts of the people is willing to chase after each other, that is everyone's will, and Tai Shici is not reluctant, after all, such a situation will become an unstable factor in the future.

Moreover, there are not many people who are willing to wander with the princes for a lifetime, let alone leave the family forever.

Tai Shi Ci said boldly: "The people go and stay, they are all voluntary, they will not be forced, the food is here, do you want to count it." ”

Liu Bei glanced at it and said: "Bei believes in the general, after an hour, the Bei army will withdraw, please wait a while, the general." ”

Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and said: "Okay, there is Uncle Lao Huang, I don't care about an hour." ”

"Well, thank you." Liu Bei clasped his fists and saluted, turned to the army behind him and said, "The soldiers listened to the order, transported the grain back to the city, and prepared to withdraw." ”

Liu Bei received the grain and led the army into the city in an orderly manner.

Liu Bei had already prepared everything, and now he collected the grain, directly joined the army, and withdrew from the city, which only took less than half an hour.

But he wanted an hour, just to avoid Tai Shi Ci from chasing after him, although the probability was very small, but he had to guard against it.

An hour passed, and the gates were slowly opened by two old soldiers.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci ordered the army to enter the city in an orderly manner to avoid frightening the people.

Entering the city, there were a few people who were lazy and lazy on the side of the street, and a few people with sloppy eyes were sitting on the ground, watching the army enter the city.

Seeing that the city was sparsely populated, Tai Shici thought that the people were afraid, so he didn't put it in his heart, turned his head to Xu Shu and said, "Mr. Xu, do you want to let the soldiers release the list to settle the people now?" ”

Xu Shu didn't know much about this matter, because he had just returned from Youbeiping and learned that Liu Bei wanted to exchange the two cities for food, so he immediately decided to go together to see if there was anything wrong.

Hearing Tai Shici's question, Xu Shu looked around, shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid there aren't many people in this city." ”

"Huh?" Tai Shici said in disbelief: "Mr. Xu's words are serious, Liu Bei's prestige has not reached the level of the people in the city to follow him, right?" ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "The general is right, but this Liu Bei must have used some method, otherwise no matter how frightened the people are, they will not be as lifeless as they are now, this is not hidden." ”

Tai Shici still trusts Xu Shu's words very much, because many of Xu Shu's predictions have come true.

In order to prove what Xu Shu said right or wrong, Tai Shici suddenly stopped the army, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the old man sitting on the side of the street.

"Old man, let me ask you something, how many of the people in the city have left with Uncle Huang?"

The old man's empty eyes regained a trace of brilliance, glanced at Tai Shici, and suddenly knelt down and said: "General, please take in the old man, the old man has a four-year-old grandson at home, please give him a way to live, I can do anything......"

Kneeling and begging inexplicably, Tai Shici said with a blank face: "The old man said slowly, Ben will definitely give you a way to live." ”

Hearing the guarantee, the old man began to talk about the changes in these days, first Chun Yuqiong emptied the treasury and withdrew, then Liu Bei took over, hooligans were rampant and domineering, and so on.

After hearing this, Tai Shici was shocked, and hurriedly told Xu Shu the matter as it was.

After hearing this, Xu Shu did not panic, but went to the old man in person, asked about the cause and effect, and then led Tai Shici to a place where no one was.

Glancing around, Xu Shu said: "General, all this should be done by Liu Bei, and the situation in the two counties should be similar." ”

"Liu Bei?" Tai Shi Ci said in disbelief: "Liu Bei has always been known for his benevolence, he shouldn't do such an evil thing, right?" ”

Xu Shu analyzed: "Xuzhou was suddenly occupied by Yuan Shao, he must have wanted to go to meet Zhang Fei's department, but there was no food, so he made this decision." ”

"And this plan kills three birds with one stone, with his status as an ally of Cao Cao, why didn't he hand over the two counties to Cao Cao, but gave them to the general, and if you read the news, you will understand."

Yes, the lord and Liu Bei have a bad relationship, why is he so happy and easily handed over the two cities, it must be to take revenge on Yuan Shao.

Then he took the people of the two counties away, maybe for the sake of future development, or not to increase the strength of the lord, as for Cao Cao, he must have reached an agreement with him.

Tai Shici thought for a while, didn't dare to confirm and asked: "What does Mr. mean, Liu Bei wants to borrow the hand of our army to take revenge on Yuan Shao?" ”

Xu Shu replied affirmatively: "Yes, Yuan Shao originally wanted to use Liu Bei's power to resist our army, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be even more insidious. ”

Tai Shici thought for a while and felt that there was a sense of this, but all this was not much harm to them.

Because the people of the two counties were evacuated, the policies that were conducive to Li Huiyi would develop at that time, and naturally there would be people who had fled.

Tai Shici changed the topic and said: "In that case, then what should our army do now?" ”

Xu Shu sighed and said: "What can I do, the general will release the grain first, give it to the people left, stabilize the situation, and then discuss it slowly." ”

Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said, "Okay, but since Liu Bei is acting like this, do you want to send a large army to chase after you and see if you can recapture some grain?" ”
