Chapter 10 Entering Xuzhou

After recruiting Sun Guan, Zhao Feng did not suggest that Liu Bei take the next step. After all, Tao Qian is still there at this time. If he enters Yuzhou, it will be a little too hasty. As for letting Sun Guan serve as the prime minister of Lu, it seems that Yuan Shu has not been stimulated. At least Huainan is still safe. In this way, Zhao Feng and others are trapped in Xiaopei all day long. All they can do is to train soldiers, drink, and wait for Tao Qian to die. In addition, Zhao Feng also took time to find a musician to learn to play the piano, not for anything else, just because he envied Zhou Gongjin, who was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting in his previous life. Now that you come to this world, you can't be a martial artist who can only fight.

He lived so plainly, but what should come came after all. A few months later, one morning in early summer, Zhao Feng just got up to practice shooting in the yard. Liu Bei hurriedly sent someone to him to the county government, saying that he had something important to discuss. When Zhao Feng arrived at the government office, he found that Sun Qian was also coming. At the same time, he also brought a message: Tao Qian is dying, please go as soon as possible.

"Tao Fujun, alas!" When Liu Bei heard Sun Qian speak like this, he couldn't help sighing. Guan Yu, who was beside him, said, "Brother, life and death can't be forced. Let's go to Xuzhou as soon as possible." Zhao Feng could hear that if Liu Bei's sigh still had some true feelings in it, Guan Yu's words could not help but be pure hypocritical. Of course, Zhao Feng is not a pretentious person. In his previous life, he sneered at those unkind claims that Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou: At least, this is also what I worked hard to keep, and now it is also a human condition for me. What's more, it is worthy of him to wait until Tao Qian's life to enter Xuzhou at the end of his life.

Guan Hai and Jian Yong were left behind Xiao Pei, and Zhao Feng and Liu Guan and Zhang Feima followed Sun Qian to Xuzhou. When they arrived, Tao Qian was already stuck in bed and couldn't speak. Seeing that Liu Bei just pointed to the Xuzhou card seal held in Mi Zhu's hand, he saw that Liu Bei took it, he only nodded and closed his eyes.

Since then, Tao Qian has passed away, and Liu Bei has taken over as the governor of Xuzhou and has the first territory to dominate the world. Among the four families in Xuzhou, in addition to the Cao family in the army, the other three all strongly supported Liu Bei. Zhao Feng and other outsiders also stood still in Xuzhou.

"Wow!" Liu Bei looked at the pile of cases on the table in front of him and couldn't help taking a long breath. The assassin was much more tired than the plain. Chen Qun, who was headed by him, is reporting: "Your lord, after I was kidnapped by Cao's troops in Xuzhou, the population of Pengcheng County has dropped sharply, and now it is less than 200,000. In addition, the East China Sea is still occupied by the thief Kou Changxi, and the summer grain of these two counties can't be collected this year. Fortunately, the remaining Langya, Dongguan and Guangling counties have a good harvest. It is said that Liu Bei's knowledge of people is really not good. He found his talent soon after contacting Chen Qun. Therefore, under Zhao Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei appointed Chen Qun as a grain Cao not long after he took office.

"How about the army?" This is asked by Zhao Feng, who is sitting on the left to participate in the discussion. This is what he is most concerned about.

"In addition to the garrison troops in Xuzhou, there were still 90,000 troops. After the previous war, there were less than 50,000 left, including 30,000 Danyang soldiers. Among the generals, only Cao Bao, the general of the tooth gate, and the lieutenant Mi Fang. Chen Qun's tone was a little bitter. There was nothing he could do. It was too miserable.

"Your father-in-law, the most urgent thing now is to recruit troops and recuperate at the same time. In addition, Changxi in the East China Sea is either subdued or wiped out. In short, this county cannot be abandoned in vain. After listening to it, Zhao Feng said first.

"That's it!" Liu Bei also nodded and agreed. So in the following period of time, Liu Bei, who had just taken office, began to take a series of policy measures. In view of the sharp decline in the number of troops, tens of thousands of Liu Bei and Xiaopei were also transferred to Xuzhou to enrich the army. The military system of the Han Dynasty took 8,000 people as a division, and the leader should be at least a deputy general. Therefore, at the suggestion of Zhao Feng, Liu Bei appointed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Feng, Guan Hai and even Mi Fang as generals or deputy generals, each commanding one or two divisions. In addition, in order to appease people's hearts, Cao Bao still served as a dental general and served as Picheng, commanding a division of 8,000 people stationed in Xiabi.

"This Cao Bao is against my eldest brother. Bo Tao, why do you recommend this man to serve as Picheng?" Zhang Fei was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Zhao Feng's suggestion. Although Guan Yu didn't say anything, he was obviously dissatisfied. The third general is a little restless. The reason why Cao Bao dares to fight against the lord is that he still has a certain influence in the Xuzhou army. Now that we have just entered Xuzhou, we should not take revenge. Speaking of this, Zhao Feng lowered his voice and said, "The two generals think that he is promoting him now? No. Xia Pi is Cao Bao's hometown. He was transferred there just to keep him away from the core of the Xuzhou army, so that his fellow party can be slowly divided and dissolved by us, and the army will eventually be in our hands.

"It makes sense!" Liu Bei deserves to be a scheming expert. After listening to Zhao Feng's anniannition plan, he praised it repeatedly. Zhang Fei thought for a thought and said, "What should I do in the future?"

"What else can he do? If he is more aware of the times, he might as well be a subordinate. If I dare to be restless, I still have a way to deal with him. Zhao Feng said lightly, and unconsciously, he was as murderous as Zhang Fei and other generals.

Things went relatively smoothly. Cao Bao, who was able to serve as the lower Picheng of his hometown, was also quite happy to pack up and go to take office. Xuzhou saw Liu Bei's kindness to Cao Bao, who had once opposed him, and he was convinced for a while. As for the personnel arrangements of the remaining counties, Guangling County borders the territory of Huainan Yuanshu, so the most important one is the richest county in Xuzhou. Liu Bei did not dare to be careless and sent Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, the first wise man in Xuzhou, as the governor. In addition, Mi Zhu was appointed as the governor of Dongguan, Sun Qian was appointed as the governor of Pengcheng, and Zhao Yu was appointed as the governor of Donghai, but Guan Yu was appointed as the governor of Langya, which was the closest to Xuzhou.

"The eldest brother is so biased, and the second brother is all appointed as Taishou. Why can't I?" After Zhang Fei learned of Liu Bei's appointment, he was immediately dissatisfied. The third brother is a little restless. The stupid brother has something urgent to be guarded by the third brother. Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Where?" Zhang Fei suddenly asked.

"Xiao Pei!" As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he saw Zhang Fei's expectant expression collapse. He quickly comforted him and said, "Don't underestimate the third brother. This Xiaopei is located between Xuzhou City and Xia Pi. It's the most important thing. The third brother can't be careless."

"I see, big brother, you want me to take a good look at Cao Bao." Zhang Fei suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled and patted his chest to make a promise. Then he asked again, "Then why doesn't Mr. Zhao become a Taishou?"

"Alas, now in Xuzhou City, only Yuanlong and Bo Tao can discuss things with me. Yuan Long has gone to Guangling. How can Bo Tao go again? I have shown that Bo Tao is a general in Xuzhou, and he will sit in Xuzhou with me. Liu Bei also said helplessly.

"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Feng also thanked him. Although Zhonglang was a miscellaneous general in the states in the Han Dynasty, he was still better than General Yamen. At the same time, Zhao Feng also sighed secretly that Xuzhou City is still short of talents. Among other things, Chen Deng is not here, and there is not even a military advisor who can make suggestions. Although I can do some military tactics, I am not particularly good at scheming.

However, it seems that Liu Bei is lucky. In the autumn of this year, Mi Zhu, who was then the governor of Langya, recommended a person to vote. It was Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang, a native of Langya Dongtai. Mi Zhu felt that his martial arts were extraordinary, so he specially asked him to join Liu Bei. Zhao Feng knew that he was a general of the Eastern Wu Water Army in history, so he strongly recommended this person to Liu Bei. Finally, Liu Bei asked him to serve as the military commander under Zhao Feng.

The good luck is not over yet. Soon, Sun Guan, the new prime minister of the State of Lu, wrote a letter to his former good friend. Now he is stationed in Changxi in the East China Sea. Liu Bei did not ask carefully about what he said in the letter. However, after receiving the letter, Changxi immediately led his troops to vote. Liu Bei made him a general, and the five counties of Xuzhou were all under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei.

The happiest thing about the return of Donghai County is Zhao Yu, the governor of Donghai. It turned out that a major source of Zhao's family's income was to boil salt. Previously, Donghai County was not peaceful, so it could not boil salt on a large scale, but now it has finally been able to repeat its old business.

Just when Xuzhou was busy with the two leaders taking over, other places were not so peaceful. The melee in the north gradually had an end. Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan with the fire attack of the counselor Tian Feng. The famous Youyan iron horse fell nine times out of ten, and Gongsun Zan was forced to retreat to Zhuo County.

As for Yanzhou, Lv Bu should have been defeated by Cao Yan in the autumn in history, but now it is still in a stalemate. Zhao Feng thought about it again and again. It is estimated that it was caused by the great loss of Cao's strength under the effect of his own butterfly effect. In the rest of the places, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has officially separated from Liu Zhang and became independent. The angry Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother who stayed in Chengdu, Yizhou. Since then, the two families have been in the same situation.

Now, the eyes of the whole world are concentrated in Yanzhou, waiting to see the result of Cao Lu's war.
