Chapter 40: The First Arrival in the Plains (Collect!!) Ask for a recommendation!! )


Bai Ren was a little surprised when he looked at the handsome white-faced guy outside.

This was completely different from the handsome black-faced man with a swallow-chin and tiger's beard, a leopard head and ring-like eyes in Bai Ren's impression.

It could even be said that he was not the same at all.

There is no such thing.

The only thing that is the same is that the force value of the two people is also at the level of an enemy with ten thousand people.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Fei shouted to the Mi family caravan a little unhappily.

Originally, Zhang Fei was training his troops, but his lord Liu Bei said that the world has been chaotic recently, and he was afraid that thieves would take the opportunity to sneak into the plains.

So Zhang Fei was asked to hand over the troops to Guan Yu for training, while Zhang Fei came to take over the search of the city gate.

"General, we are merchants from the Mi family caravan.

We need the general to take care of us when passing through the plains."

Mi Zhu got out of the car and said sincerely to Zhang Fei.

"Mi family caravan" Zhang Fei looked at Mi Zhu's businessman's face, stretched out his head to look at the caravan behind Mi Zhu, and looked at Mi Zhu with some confusion and asked.

"Yes, general, we are the Mi family caravan from Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu looked at Zhang Fei as if he didn't believe it, and said to Zhang Fei in a very respectful tone.

"Then you go in."

Although Zhang Fei looked a little hesitant, he didn't find anything wrong, and there was no reason to turn away the Mi family caravan, so he had to let the Mi family caravan enter the city first.

"Thank you, General.

It's just a small thought but no respect."

Mi Zhu looked happy and secretly took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei looked at Mi Zhu's little move with disdain, and said to Mi Zhu in a very unhappy tone: "Put it away.

I don't like yellow and white things."

Zhang Fei really doesn't care much about money.

Before he followed Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was originally a wealthy man.

Later, in order to help Liu Bei recruit local warriors, he sold all his property.

But Zhang Fei has no regard for these eyes.

Without batting an eyelid, to be honest, Zhang Fei's ideal does not care about money, but his own achievements and reputation.

Typically, if he achieves a great cause, he will be fine even if the money is gone.

Mi Zhu took back the money in her hand with a somewhat embarrassed expression, then looked at Zhang Fei with admiration, saluted Zhang Fei, then got on the carriage and led the Mi family caravan into Pingyuan City.

Zhang Fei watched the empty trucks of the Mi family's caravan enter Pingyuan City one after another.

His eyes kept turning, and he waved to the soldiers beside him, beckoning him to come over.

Zhang Fei whispered a few words quietly into the ears of the guards, and then continued to guard the door with a normal expression, while the guards beside him quietly disappeared at the city gate and went to Pingyuan Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the carriage, Mi Zhu looked at Bai Ren a little dazed, and asked Bai Ren curiously: "Zi Fu, Zi Fu, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Ren was thinking about Zhang Fei's appearance.

After thinking about it, he finally recalled the post he had read before.

There were many criticisms on this post about the historical inaccuracies in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Fei's image was also questioned. , they believed that Zhang Fei in history was a handsome and brave general, brave and resourceful.

But in the novel, Zhang Fei became a reckless general.

I didn’t expect that Zhang Fei in history was really a handsome guy, not the literary image of a reckless man.

"It's okay, Zizhong, you look smiling, but what's so happy about you?"

Bai Ren came back to his senses and looked at Mi Zhu looking at him with a smile on his face, looking a little happy.

"I saw that white-faced general who was not greedy for money and was loyal to his duties.

Liu Xuande has such a general under his command.

It seems that Liu Xuande is also very human."

Mi Zhu looked at Bai Ren with a joyful expression, and she yearned for Liu Bei even more in her heart as Bai Ren said.

"Yes."

Bai Ren also showed a smile after listening to Mi Zhu's words.

Among all the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei can be said to be the most grassroots, but also the most close to the people.

He started from a low level and finally became the overlord of one party.

"Zifu, I plan to visit the Liu Xuande you mentioned tomorrow.

Do you want to accompany me?"

Mi Zhu looked at Bai Ren with a smile and asked Bai Ren.

"It's okay" Bai Ren also wants to see whether Liu Bei, who is benevolent and loves the people, is really as full of personality and charm as history said.

The Mi family's caravan entered Pingyuan.

Pingyuan City was relatively peaceful.

Although the people on the streets looked sallow and thin, they had happy smiles on their faces and seemed very satisfied in spirit.

It seemed that in the chaotic Qingzhou, the plains were managed by Liu Bei and turned into a paradise and a peaceful world.

Bai Ren, who was sitting on the carriage, saw this and became more interested in Liu Bei.

At this time, in Pingyuan Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Bei was sitting at his desk, processing official documents, frowning from time to time, and sitting underneath was a square-faced scribe with a mustache, rubbing his head and looking at the documents on his desk.

"Xianhe, the grain reserves in the plains have been running low recently.

What do you think we should do?"

Liu Bei looked at the documents and looked at the civil servants below with a somewhat sad expression.

The civil servants below are Liu Bei's fellow countrymen, friends and ministers Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe.

They can be said to be Liu Bei's first civil servant.

They also belong to Liu Bei's initial team like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"My lord, these days are difficult, let me think about it."

Jian Yong also knew the situation in Pingyuan County.

It had already declined after the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Since Liu Bei became Pingyuan Prime Minister, it can be said that he has worked hard to improve Pingyuan's entire economy.

Public security has improved, but it is a pity In troubled times, Liu Bei spent a lot of money on military supplies by recruiting troops and local warriors to resist bandits and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

At the same time, Liu Bei also actively absorbed refugees into the plains, spending a lot of financial and material resources.

Over time, this led to the current food situation in the plains.

An embarrassing situation of shortage.

After listening to Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei sighed, thought for a moment, and said to Jian Yong: "How about I go to Brother Bogui to borrow some food?"

Bogui is the cousin of White Horse General Gongsun Zan.

Liu Bei studied in Luoyang in his early years and became a disciple of Lu Zhi, a great scholar at that time.

Gongsun Zan’s master was also Lu Zhi, so the two were considered brothers and they had a very good relationship. .

Even Liu Bei, the Pingyuan Prime Minister, was an official position that Gongsun Zan helped Liu Bei to obtain.

Although Liu Bei is now an independent force, Liu Bei can be regarded as working for Gongsun Zan now.

After hearing Liu Bei's suggestion, Jian Yong's face sank first, and then he lowered his head to think.

Liu Bei watched Jian Yong thinking and was waiting for Jian Yong to give his answer.

After thinking for a while, Jian Yong finally raised his head, looked at Liu Beinai's expectant eyes, shook his head helplessly at Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei in a deep voice: "Now General White Horse is fighting Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

There is a stalemate, and now General White Horse has taken the initiative to withdraw his troops before the end of the year.

It seems that General White Horse does not have much food.

I am afraid that Gongsun Zan will refuse the request of the lord."

After hearing Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei's expression became even worse.

He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord, why not lay off the army?"

Jian Yong gritted his teeth and finally said sincerely to Liu Bei.

After listening to Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei's body was slightly shaken, then he hesitated, and said to Jian Yong: "It's necessary.

Bandits are rampant now.

How can we protect the plains without some self-protection ability?

Besides, those soldiers were originally for If they are forced to join the army in order to obtain some rations, if they are laid off, they will have one less way to survive.

This must not be done. " Liu Bei definitely rejected Jian Yong's proposal.

There were three thousand soldiers in Pingyuan.

Generally, the tax revenue from Pingyuan County could support a thousand soldiers.

However, Liu Bei lacked a sense of security.

Among the original soldiers, there were two thousand village warriors.

He followed Liu Bei during the Yellow Turban Uprising in the early years, and the other thousand soldiers and horses were recruited later.

Liu Bei will not lay off the army easily.

"This, Yong doesn't have a better way."

Jian Yong knew what Liu Bei was thinking, but now he was powerless.

"My lord, there are general Zhang's soldiers outside asking to see you."

A guard came in and said, clasping his fists at Liu Bei.

"Invite him in," Liu Bei said softly to the guard.

The personal guards immediately retreated.

After a while, Zhang Fei's personal soldiers came in and saluted Liu Bei.

"Yide, I asked you to come over, but what's the matter?"

Liu Bei asked the soldiers below in a kind tone
