Later, Liu Bei fought with Yuan Shu, and Zhang Fei was drunk and mistaken by Lu Bu. Liu Bei surrendered to Lu Bu in desperation, and the status of the two reversed. Now it is Liu Bei who has settled in Xiaopei and faces Cao Cao head-on.

When Jiang Zhuo arrived, there was also a discussion about Jiang Zhuo in the Peicheng County Yali.

"My lord, the benefits of this trade route from the south to the central part of Yangzhou and the north to Qingzhou are very large, and it is really a waste to let a mere Poyang County guard control it! Now that Xuzhou is controlled by Lu Bu, if we want to counterattack, we must vigorously recruit troops.

But my Mijia salt farm has been controlled by Lu Bu's people, so I can only find a way to plan benefits from elsewhere. The trade route in front of us is a shortcut, and the benefits of two points are too little! ”

Mi Zhu angrily admonished Liu Bei, "My lord, how come you are also a member of the Han family, that little county guard actually divided eighty-two with you, and didn't take you seriously at all." Zhu please send an envoy to Poyang, and it is necessary for the little county guard to spit out eighty percent of the benefits!

Liu Bei was a little hesitant, he didn't actually do anything about this trade route. The support of the caravan was completely done by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's people, with his benevolence and righteousness, how could he do things that were cleverly plundered?

"No. Yide and Zilong have a friendship with the Poyang County Shou, this trade route is their private transaction, we are no longer generous enough to profit from it, how can we still force it? Liu Bei shook his head, at this time, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also received the news and rushed over, and as soon as they came in, they greeted Mi Zhu coldly.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of merchants was still very low. Mi Zhu's status in Liu Bei's group is not high, and at this time, he still wants to attack the business routes supported by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and it is even more impossible for people to give them a good look.

"Big brother! Don't listen to this bird's nonsense! Zhang Fei sprayed directly, "I'll tell you the truth, this trade route Jiang Xiandi himself has only taken advantage of one percent!" Yangzhou is already in chaos, and the Central Plains is also uneasy.

Brother Jiang Xian said that if it weren't for the fact that the people of Poyang County had experienced several wars and various living materials were scarce, he would not be willing to form this trade route and let the water bandits and thieves along the way profit in vain. ”

Mi Zhu's face became a little ugly, Zhang Fei Guan Yu already looked down on him, and he was vaguely rejected on weekdays, but now he directly insulted him, and he didn't take him as the master book in his eyes at all.

"Yide! Hugh has to say nonsense, Master Mi is also thinking about me, otherwise why be that black-hearted person?! Apologize to the master bookkeeper! Liu Bei also made a straight face, Zhao Yun also persuaded a few words, and Zhang Fei apologized.

Guan Yu was not in Peicheng, and he escorted Sun Qian, another minister under Liu Bei, to visit the major families in Xuzhou in order to get more money and food support.

Therefore, there were only four high-level people of Liu Bei's group in Peicheng, and they discussed for a while, but there was no good solution to the problems of training and conscription, and about the collection of money and grain.

The area of Peiguo is not large, and there is not much arable land available for cultivation in the territory, so it cannot support much army at all. But there are fewer troops, what will Liu Bei do to resist Cao Cao?

"Report to the lord, Poyang County Shouhanjiang came to visit me alone!"

"Oh? Hurry up, please! Liu Bei smiled and tidied up his clothes, "Let's go, let's go and greet Jiang Poyang together." After the Battle of Xuzhou, I hadn't seen him for a few days. ”

Liu Bei's heart for seeking talent is heavier than Cao Cao's, Cao Cao's generals have Cao and Xiahou's two famous generals, and Wenchen has Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other famous schemes, how can Liu Bei be urgent?

When Jiang Zhuo was in Xuzhou, Liu Bei recruited him, but Jiang Zhuo felt that there was no future for him at that time, so he refused. Now that Jiang Zhuo has broken out a family business that is bigger than Liu Bei, it is even more impossible to agree.

Liu Bei also understands this, but Corporal Lixian's posture always has to be sufficient.

"General Zhendong, don't come to harm's way?" As soon as Jiang Zhuo walked into the gate of the county office, he saw Liu Bei ushering in him, and he was really moved in his heart. However, it was not moved by Liu Bei's salute, but moved that he had worked hard for so long and finally had an effect.

Among so many players, is there anyone with higher achievements than Jiang Zhuo?

Even Du Hong, the leader of the world's first gang, did not become a prince of his own, but was attached to Cao Cao. Even if he later replaced Shixie as the pastor of Jiaozhou, he is still struggling with the natives and miasma.

Only Jiang Zhuo fought his way out of the chaotic situation in Yangzhou. It shocked Sun Ce and didn't dare to go west easily, and Bo Cai didn't dare to fight with Liu Xuan with all his might. Now he can bear the "lord" of Zhang Zhao, Liao Hua, Yu Fu and others with peace of mind.

"I haven't seen more than a month, Jiang Poyang has become more and more heroic!" Liu Bei stepped forward with a smile and took Jiang Zhuo's hand, and enthusiastically pulled him into the back hall of the county office, and sat on the two main seats together.

Soon, Jiang Zhuo told Liu Bei his purpose. Liu Bei didn't shirk it, it was nothing more than playing the imperial court in his own name, asking for merit for Jiang Zhuo and recommending Jiang Zhuo, just a matter of a letter.

However, the design of Liu Bei's NPC completely adheres to the core concept of being kind and black, after all, it is impossible for a pure benevolent person to establish the Shu Kingdom. So he quickly revealed the meaning of asking for benefits, "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, eldest brother, I am also very difficult now." As long as I am here, I will protect your trade routes.

But now that Cao Thief is violent, I only have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses in my hands, and it is really difficult to compete with him, and I am afraid that I will soon fall into displacement. ”

Jiang Zhuo secretly praised in his heart, this Liu Bei still has self-knowledge. However, it cannot be said verbally, "In my opinion, the danger of General Zhendong does not come from Cao thief. ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei was waiting for Jiang Zhuo to open his mouth to deliver the benefits, but he didn't expect to get an answer that surprised him.

"General Zhendong thinks that Lu Bu has any intention in letting you settle in Xiaopei?"

"What other motives can there be? The bird was scared by Cao Cao, so we got in front of him! Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak up, covering up his guilt of losing Xiapi when he was drunk.

Zhao Yun smiled and added, "In addition, Lu Bu's troops also suffered losses at that time, and he was worried about resisting Liu Guan and Zhang Zhiyong, so he didn't dare to kill us all, so he had this plan to delay the army." ”

"That's right!" Jiang Zhuo nodded to Zhao Yun, "At this moment, you are recruiting, and Lu Bu is also recuperating. But there is hatred between you and Lu Bu after all, and Lu Bu will not relax his vigilance against you. If your forces grow rapidly, I'm afraid that we will usher in a strong attack by Lu Bu. ”

"What are you afraid of him doing? He dared to come, I picked him! Zhang Fei snorted angrily, but was stopped by Liu Bei. At this time, Liu Bei's face also became solemn, "Since Jiang Poyang has talked about this situation, is there a solution that can be taught to the elder brother?" ”
