Chapter 725: Rangers and Tribes


    In Pingyuan County, in the season of early spring when all things sprout, the spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is recovering. It is the season of spring again. Liu Bei''s mind is like a wild cat in spring, as if there are millions of paws incessantly. Scratching his heart.


    ??This is a season that makes people feel excited, especially when Liu Bei read Tai Shigong''s book, he seemed to hear the groan in his heart, oh, wrong, the call...


    ??When Taizu Liu Bang set foot on that road, he was just a pavilion chief, but now Liu Bei himself is already the prime minister of a country. Isn''t it still inferior to that of the early Han Dynasty?


    ?Although Pingyuan Country, hey, although it is called a country, it is just that. It is not much better than the so-called county town, but at least it can be regarded as a regular Pingyuan country, right?


    Even if you meet someone, you must call him Liu Shijun...


    ??Had Liu Bei not met Gongsun Zan before, perhaps Liu Bei would have contentedly settled in the plains, engaged in education about people''s livelihood, and taken care of the fields, but now...


    ?Perhaps it is not all due to Gongsun Zan, and perhaps he did not have such an idea after arriving in Youzhou. Perhaps it was when he was in Suanzao, or it started from the time when he was not even qualified to sit in the Chinese army''s tent...


    "Is it possible that the only one who is strong in the world is Duke Dong?" Liu Bei thought to himself, and then added another sentence secretly, "that the only one who is strong in the world is Duke Yuan?"


    Liu Bei looked at the north, as if looking at the land in the north, with deep eyes, and said: "A letter has come from General Gongsun..."


    Guan Yu said: "What are you talking about?"


    “...Order us to organize the troops and stabilize the people, and obey the orders of Tian Governor..." Liu Bei said.


    ? Guan Yu pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that... there has been a change?"


    ? Tian Kai is currently the governor of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zanbiao. Naturally, he is Liu Bei''s superior. It is natural for Liu Bei to follow Tian Kai''s orders, so why bother to emphasize it again in the letter?


    Although Gongsun Zan is now a marquis, he is actually still a knight-errant. His attitude towards Liu Bei is basically due to loyalty. First he welcomes him, and then seeing Liu Bei''s lack of soldiers, he immediately assigns a group of cavalry to come. Follow Liu Bei''s orders.


    ??And the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan was just a brief friendship under Lu Zhi''s disciples...


    It can be said that righteousness is unparalleled. Of course, this righteousness is from both sides and is not free. Now it is time for Liu Bei to repay this righteousness.


    "Bogui wants to go south..." Liu Bei sighed.


    Gongsun Zan sent Tian Kai and Liu Bei here just to drive a nail in Yuan Shao''s back. Now that he is ready to take action, of course he also needs to notify Tian Kai and Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei said with a slight tone of admiration: "Bogui is far-sighted, and I can''t wait for him."


    Gongsun Zan is going south now. The first thing he will face is Yuan Shao, but he is not only facing Yuan Shao, but also the status gap between the knights and the nobles that has been formed since the beginning of Liu Xiu...


    The nobles do not oppose the ranger, and sometimes even get close to the ranger, praise the ranger, and to a certain extent, give the green light to the ranger''s various illegal behaviors and provide shelter. Despite this, the ranger is always a ranger, a knife, and a sword. The sword must never turn into a human being, a child of the noble clan.


    ?In the minds of the vast majority of gentry children, the best place for a ranger is to guard the country at the border, just like Gongsun Zan. However, if it in turn affects the status of gentry children, this behavior will be unacceptable...


    Don’t Gongsun Zan know?


    When his younger brother died inexplicably, Gongsun Zan still did not dare to directly oppose Yuan Shu. Instead, he knocked out his teeth and swallowed him. He still maintained a good relationship with Yuan Shu, but started to take action against Yuan Shao. Can''t he Explain something?


    Gongsun Bogui... ? ? ? For Liu Bei, it would be better if Gongsun Zan kept him as a confidant and used his military talents in his hometown Youzhou. However, Gongsun Zan''s decision has been made, and Liu Bei can''t say anything. He can only help Tian Kai conquer Qingzhou and look for opportunities amidst hardships.


    “Counting the time, it’s almost time for my third brother to return, right?” Liu Bei said.


    Guan Yu nodded and said: "There was a news report the day before yesterday, saying that the bandit stronghold has been destroyed, and they should be back soon..."


    Because there is still Zang Hong in Qingzhou.


    After the Suizao alliance, Zhang Chao could not return to Guangling, so he stayed in Chenliu and sent Zang Hong to Youzhou to contact Liu Yu.


    Zang Hong naturally had to pass through Jizhou from south to north, so he met with Yuan Shao. Perhaps because of the words he had spoken for Yuan Shao at the meeting, Yuan Shao also valued Zang Hong''s talents when he saw him. It happened that Jiao Hebing, the governor of Qingzhou, After his death, Yuan Shao appointed Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou.


    So now there are two governors in Qingzhou, one appointed by Yuan Shao and the other appointed by Gongsun Zan.


    Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Kai to do something behind Yuan Shao''s back. Naturally, Yuan Shao also arranged for Zang Hong to contain him. Liu Bei took a preemptive strike and began to continuously expand the scope of the suppression of bandits. In fact, he was worried that these bandits would become a hidden danger in the rear in the event of a battle with Zang Hong.


    There are not only two people as governor of Qingzhou, but also two people as Prime Minister of Pingyuan. In addition to Liu Bei, there is another person, Chen Ji.


    ?However, Chen Ji was just a famous person in the world, and he had no problem handling government affairs, but he did not have much ability to lead the army. Therefore, the bandits he retained during this period actually made Liu Bei''s reputation.


    Prime Minister Pingyuan is interesting now. Chen Ji is in charge of administration and Liu Bei is in charge of military affairs. It seems that there will be problems. Perhaps it is because Liu Bei has always expressed a humble attitude in front of Chen Ji, so in fact, the relationship between Chen Ji and Liu Bei is not I imagined it would be that bad.


    In Chen Ji''s heart, Liu Bei is still a well-known ranger and a border warrior. Although he has begun to be called "benevolent and righteous" among the common people, in fact, there has not been much change. The nobles are still the nobles. Chen Ji is talking to some local people When scholars hold literary conferences, they almost never think of a figure like Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei and Guan Yu said: "When the third brother comes back, we will no longer go to war. We will train our soldiers and equip them with military resources." The battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao is about to begin. Maybe Zang Hong will come with his troops in a few days. Attack, you have to prepare in advance.


    ?Although Liu Bei is very touched, the current situation cannot allow him to change immediately. Maybe let''s see how far Bogui can go...


    Guan Yu nodded silently. With the tacit understanding between him and Liu Bei, there were many things that he did not need to say too clearly. He would naturally understand what Liu Bei meant. However, Guan Yu believed that the faith pursued by the ranger was his belief. As for those words They say they are aboveboard, but they are actually male thieves and female prostitutes. What good can they do?


    According to the historical situation:


    Guan Yu should be a knight-errant through and through...


    Zhang Fei should be a combination of the knight-errant and the humble...


    Liu Bei is an example of a poor family becoming a wealthy family...


    When you are in poverty, there is naturally not much conflict of interest, but...


    Therefore, in the late Jingzhou period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei no longer shared the same bed as they did at the beginning...
