Guan Yu went north and greeted Gongsun Xu. Hurry all the way to Qingzhou. Liu Bei went out of the city to greet him, and Gongsun Xu saw from afar that there were people outside the city. Hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked to Liu Bei, bowed to the ground, and cried loudly: "Uncle! ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but have a sour nose when he thought of Gongsun Zhan, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly picked up Gongsun Zhan and soothed him. Then he said to Zhao Yun and Tian Yu: "But Changshan Zhao Zilong and Yuyang Tianguo let go?" ”

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu hurriedly bowed: "Zhao Yun and Tian Yu visited Liu Yuanjun. ”

Liu Bei helped him up one by one, and said: "Bo Jue was defeated, and Erqing escorted his orphans all the way south, and the true righteous people are also." So he ordered his army to be stationed outside the city, and he brought all the people with him into the city.

After giving the mansion and arranging Gongsun Zhan's family, Liu Bei held a banquet in the mansion to welcome Gongsun Xu and others to join the big collective in Qingzhou. The feasts and drinks here continued, and Liu Bei did not forget the thousands of Youzhou troops outside the city.

A school captain with a group of soldiers escorted more than a dozen carts to the Youzhou military camp outside the city, and said to the guards at the gate: "Open the door quickly, I am here to labor the army on the order of the lord!" ”

The smell of wine and meat on the cart spread far away, and after the camp gate was opened, countless soldiers came out to watch. The lieutenant transported the cart into the camp, then stood on a high place, and said loudly: "Brothers in Youzhou, today I am here to labor the army on the order of the lord Liu Zhijun!" My father-in-law said that the Youzhou army crisscrossed the border, killing the Hu people and fleeing away when they heard the wind, hugging their heads and running away, you are all good sons of the big man! It is a hero of the court and the Han people! Although I have suffered defeat now, I am not with you. Learn your lesson and fight back in the future! Now that you have come to Qingzhou, you will regard this place as your home in the future! From now on, everyone will be a family! Money, enough! Meat, tube full! ”

The Youzhou army suffered a defeat, even the main general died, and after fleeing all the way south to Qingzhou, he was in a panic and was uneasy, when he suddenly heard such heart-warming words. The soldiers couldn't help but shed tears silently. Did you hear it, Liu Yuanjun actually said that we are the heroes of the Han Dynasty and a good son! A person's value is suddenly highly affirmed, and the turmoil in his heart is really indescribable.

Why do you say that every righteous slaughter dog? Probably these people are simple-minded and upright. Whoever is good to him, who recognizes him, who appreciates him, he will be good to whom. Even if it costs with our lives. At this time, the sons and daughters of Youzhou, the blood in their hearts was surging and they couldn't help themselves, so they just wanted to immediately hold a knife to die for Liu Zhijun. When the lieutenant saw that Youzhou Jun was stunned, he laughed and said, "Still stunned, let's eat!" ”

Only then did the Youzhou army come back to their senses, so they bowed down one after another, shouting: "Thank you, the lord, reward!" From this moment on, Liu Bei is the lord in their hearts.

After hearing the Youzhou army shouting the lord, the captain touched the beard under his chin with satisfaction and smiled.

On the second day, Liu Bei summoned his grandson to continue the house and asked, "Ziji, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Gongsun continued: "But it's up to my uncle to decide. ”

Liu Bei thought to himself, this kid has a slippery head. But fortunately, he didn't directly say that he still had to lead troops. So he pondered for a while and said: "Brother Bo Jue is newly dead, so you will first study filial piety in the mansion, and teach your younger brothers and sisters by the way." After the expiration of filial piety, it is good for you to come to me again. ”

Gongsun continued to bow deeply and said, "Obey my uncle's orders." ”

After Gongsun continued to say goodbye, Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun and Tian Yu to meet him. Seeing the second general, Liu Bei got straight to the point and said: "I want to take the Youzhou Army as the main body and set up the Qingzhou Sixth Army." Zilong is the commander, and the state is the deputy envoy. After the two generals returned to the camp, they could step up their training, but there was a shortage of personnel and materials, and they could write a report to them. ”

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu glanced at each other, and their hearts were overjoyed. They have been in the Youzhou army for a long time, and although they have made many meritorious achievements, there are too many veterans around Gongsun Zhan, and it is difficult for them to get ahead for a while. When I arrived in Qingzhou, although I had heard of Liu Bei's sage for a long time, they were the generals of the defeated army, and they would not have any good arrangements in the future. Who would have thought that now it would be a new army with the Youzhou Army as the main body and use them as the military masters. It's unbelievable. Look at the first-level generals of the Qingzhou Army, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and Tai Shici, all of whom are fierce generals of the three armies or old men who have followed Liu Bei for many years. I didn't expect to get this treatment as soon as I came. With this master, what more can the husband ask for?

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu did not hesitate at the moment, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and bowed their heads: "Zhao Yun and Tian Yu are respectfully ordered by the lord!" ”

Seeing Zhao Yun and Tian Yu rushing away, Liu Bei was also very happy in his heart. Zhao Yun is a bull regardless of whether it is the official history or the romance. Not to mention Tian Yu, after following Cao Cao, he was Xianbei in the north and Sun Wu in the south. Later, it sat in the north and shook the frontier. Even Chen Shou, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", lamented that Tian Yu was innocent and wise. And the small state is not fully used.

These two people are used to lead an army together, and in Liu Bei's view, it is actually overkill. However, we can't pull out the seedlings too much, take our time, and there will always be opportunities for them to make meritorious contributions.

After arranging Gongsun Xu and the Youzhou Army, December is almost over. Liu Bei still couldn't be idle. The territory has almost doubled, and it is not a little bit of a busy business. Although Xun Yu and others share most of the burden, Liu Bei doesn't just want to see the documents for many things. So regardless of the severe cold, wind and snow, he led the guards all the way out to patrol the counties and inspect local government affairs.

After coming back, Liu Bei's face turned pale. Not frozen, but gasy. What he saw and heard along the way made him understand what it means for the imperial power to not go down to the county and what is the collusion between officials and gentry.

When I came to Qingzhou at the beginning of the year, for the sake of the overall situation, I have been holding back and not making a big move. Now it seems that there are still fewer people killed in the first place. Liu Bei sneered in his heart, thinking, people in the world pass on my name of Liu Bei's benevolence, do you really think that I can't wield a butcher's knife and can't see blood?

He summoned Xun Yu and Lu Min to the mansion, threw a stack of documents on the case, and said angrily: "Wen Ruo, Zida, look at it, there is already a mess below, do you know it?" ”

Xun Yu and Lu Min picked up the case book and looked at it, and their faces immediately changed greatly, and they hurriedly pleaded guilty: "It's the minister's fault." "Xun Yu is a long history, Lu Min is a capital official, and after Jian Yong, the main bookkeeper, went to Liaodong to help Lu Zhi, the political affairs of the state were entrusted to the two of them. This kind of thing, even if they don't know that they are not involved, they will inevitably have this black cauldron.

Liu Bei said angrily: "Embezzling fields, recommending each other privately, and concealing the population, there is still a person who dares to open a mine!" How many heads do they have enough for me to chop off? ”

Under the anger, Liu Bei only felt that his brain was dizzy. Holding on to the desk and taking a deep breath, Liu Bei closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and said, "Go and investigate thoroughly, take Liu Ke and Chen down." The main culprit was executed, the family property was confiscated, and the family was exiled to Liaodong. In the end, Liu Bei still couldn't say the words of beheading the whole family.

After Xun Yu and Lu Min obeyed the order, Liu Bei fell on the chair, only feeling so tired. He led the soldiers in a bloody battle in the front, just trying to lay down a peace for the people. And those moths have no qualms about digging their own foundations and letting their own blood. Is it really too merciful to them, and they can only go on a killing spree?

But will the killing spree solve this problem? The big families and local heroes have been endless. Which emperor didn't kill them? But which emperor can really get rid of them completely? Even in the later generations in which he lived, it was not uncommon for local tyrants and officials to collude with each other. It's just that the harm is not as great as it is now. After all, later generations are more about seeking commercial benefits for themselves, but here it involves the private granting of official positions, the loss of land tax revenue, and most importantly, the lives of Dingkou.

The sense of fate of history made Liu Bei very helpless.
