Chapter 205 203. Xu Shu: Why don’t you ask General Wenpin? (Please subscribe for monthly tickets)

Duyang, outside the recruitment hall.

Liu Bei looked at the scribe in front of him. Although he was wearing a Gejin cloth robe, he had sharp eyes and thick eyebrows. Although he was a scribe, his body was not thin, and the sword on his waist was not just a showpiece.

Under the thick winter clothes, he seemed to feel the sudden strength of the other party.

This is his direct feeling of danger as a military commander.

After just being stunned for a moment, he laughed loudly and took Xu Shu's hand, "Sir, please come in quickly. I'm going to see you. I don't know why, but I feel so happy to see an old friend. I hope you won't be offended."

Xu Shu was also slightly stunned. He was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of this General Zuo, but it was only a surprise, because when he saw this General Zuo, he was also happy in his heart. "How can I be surprised? It's just what I wanted."

."

The two of them went directly into the recruitment hall.

Behind Liu Bei, Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes when he saw the scribe's footsteps, and then followed Liu Bei closely to prevent the other party from getting angry.

"Today, the world is divided and wars are about to begin. What can you teach me now, sir?"

"I don't dare to teach you," Xu Shu said with a cup of his hand, "Xiang Wen made you kind and kind, so I came here to pay you a visit."

Liu Bei choked, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's right. Bei is surrounded by talented people who are kings and assistants. Unfortunately, Bei has been with him, and Bei's life is in embarrassment, which has affected all the kings, and he is still in limbo today..."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "This is not your fault, but God's will."

"I hope you can clear up my doubts, sir." Liu Bei saluted with a sincere tone.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly, originally wanting to...test whether this Liu Yuzhou was truly benevolent or fake, but now, he no longer had such thoughts.

The man in front of him, after all, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a general from the left, but he still treated him as a commoner with such great courtesy, which really touched him, "Today the world is divided, heroes are rising together, and wars continue, making the emperor a Han

With the support of generals, General Zhang and other fierce generals, we can accomplish great things, but... I dare to ask you, what is the great cause you want?"

Liu Bei said without hesitation, "Help the Han Dynasty."

Xu Shu smiled and just stared at Liu Bei without saying a word.

Seeing this, Liu Bei sighed, "Bei also knows the difficulty of this matter... Now we are stationing troops to block Yang and resist Cao Cao for brother Jing Sheng. If there is a chance, we should welcome the emperor again..."

Xu Shu no longer hid and tucked him away, "The emperor's ambitions are lofty, and the common people are not as good as him, but with the troops of the emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything."

"So, this is the reason why we are preparing to join forces with Jingzhou."

"But what if Liu Jingzhou can't succeed?"

"Sir, this is a joke. In the land of Jingzhou, talented people are emerging. Brother Jing Sheng rode into Jingzhou alone back then. He relied on the strength of the powerful family to establish seven counties. There was Kuai Liang in the past, and now there are Kuai Yue and Mr. Xiao.

With Huo Zhongmiao, Huang Zu and other talented generals, why can't things be accomplished?"

Xu Shu still just smiled and did not discuss this issue with Liu Bei.

Before coming to join Liu Bei, he also went to see Liu Biao. Although Liu respected him on the surface, in fact, it was just to save his face. Therefore, he left a letter to say goodbye, and then went all the way north to Duyang.

"What your envoy said is absolutely true." Xu Shu said afterward, "Your Majesty, now we have very little food and a small army. There is Cao Cao in the north and Liu Jingzhou in the south. Although we can be called heroes, we cannot be called princes."

Liu Bei's heart sank. Yes, his few soldiers would be just a guest general wherever they go.

"Although Liu Jingzhou and Shi Jun rely on each other, they are still kind enough to take him in." Xu Shu smiled, "However, the Cao thieves in the north are unkind. If Shi Jun wants to grow stronger, he should focus on the north."

Liu Bei listened and nodded, "But the strength of Cao Cao's thief is much better than that of Bei."

"Concubine, I didn't ask for a general, so I went directly to Xuchang!" Xu Shu laughed, "Why don't you ask General Wenpin?"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Yes, Wenpin!

Wenpin was now in his prime and had been guarding Jingbei for many years. How could he not want to help the Han Dynasty?

Now he and Wenpin are guarding Jingbei to the east and west. If they want to go north, they must join hands.

"The general must now live with the people. Since Jingzhou has the method of growing crops twice a year, the general only needs to lie dormant for a few years before he can attack the north."

"Thank you sir for clearing up the confusion!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and worshiped Xu Shu as his military advisor and dispatched his troops.

…

Huang Yueying didn't know that Xu Shu had already rushed to Liu Bei.

But Zhuge Liang knew it, because Xu Shu wrote to him, saying that he had met Liu Jingzhou, but he was good and evil, suspicious and indecisive, and he was definitely not a wise man.

Zhuge Liang agreed very much, and then looked at the little man next to him. If it weren't for this man, Jingzhou would never have such a prosperous scene: crops can be grown twice a year, Chu paper, books travel all over the world, Xiangyang Academy

Scholars and scholars came in droves, and the barbarians from Nanping rejected Jiangdong from the east.

"Brother, what do you think I'm doing?" Huang Yueying touched her face, "Is there something dirty?"

"Of course not." Zhuge Liang smiled, "Liang received Yuan Zhi's letter the day before yesterday."

"Brother Yuanzhi? Where is he now?" Huang Yueying asked, thinking that Liu Bei had already arrived in Jingzhou. According to the historical process... Xu Shu might have been on his way to defect to Liu Bei.

"Liang doesn't know either." Zhuge Liang put the feather fan behind his back. "I only know that Yuan Zhi has gone to see Liu Jingzhou and thinks that he is definitely not a wise master. What does A Chu think?"

"Isn't that what I mean? Don't you think so, brother?" Huang Yueying laughed, and then sighed, "Achu also knows about this matter, but Achu has a special status, and he is the only one who can trust Achu like this.

"

"What if someone could still give such trust to Ah Chu after knowing his identity?"

"It's okay for Ah Chu to plan for him and help him achieve great things."

"Ah Chu is actually very thoughtful." Zhuge Liang smiled, and then pointed to the things in Huang Yueying's warehouse, "A Chu wants to sell all these things at the market on the 30th?"

Huang Yueying shook her head, "No, these will be used as prizes when the time comes."

"Prize?" Zhuge Liang immediately remembered the games at the lantern festival and smiled bitterly, "The value... is a bit too high for ordinary people."

"What my brother is saying is, however, these items are only for the highest awards. Ordinary awards are still mostly rice, flour, grain, oil or cloth." Huang Yueying explained.

Since she wants to hold a lantern festival, of course she has to make it lively. If she wants to hold it year after year, she must be sincere.

Rice, flour, grain, and oil were the real things that ordinary people cared about the most. Naturally, she didn't care about the more valuable prizes like gold, silver, and jade. She just hoped that everyone could have a more lively and happy time.

There are bamboos and paper in the village, and it is a simple matter to make some lanterns.

Only candles consume more, but they are not unaffordable.

In the future, this activity will become a custom, and the relevant departments will gradually be responsible for it instead of being held privately by her.

There are some things that she has to think about for future generations. For various reasons, future generations will either not take the holiday or reduce the scale of their own traditional festivals... In her opinion, this is a sign of abandoning history.

Zhuge Liang listened and nodded, "This is quite practical."

"Of course it has to be practical." Huang Yueying smiled.

In the past two years, it cannot be said that the people of Chu'an County have all reached the level of wealthy families, but at least they are much better than two years ago.

Being able to afford food, being able to pull out a piece of cloth to make new clothes every year, being able to afford meat occasionally, there is more hope in the eyes of the people, which is the yearning for a better life.

Food is always a hard currency in this era.

As for the two crops a year being harvested by other forces, don't be afraid.

Since she dared to promote it, she had already taken confidentiality measures.

Planting Sumai is not difficult, but raising rice seedlings is difficult. She specifically ordered Yang Shuo to keep the rice seedling cultivation method mysterious when promoting it abroad, so as not to be discovered by other forces.

Unless other forces kidnap Yang Shuo and other insiders, it will be fine for Jingzhou to just learn a superficial lesson.

Of course, she also knew that the confidentiality of this technology would not last long, but there would still be two or three years.

In these two or three years, there are so many things she can do.

After all, she is not Liu Biao!

Chapter one today.

Just like the title, please give me all kinds of blessings, my dear friends.
