"That's all, that's all, Shuzhi, you can go to Donglai with Xuande."

Kong Rong thought for a long time and finally waved his hand and agreed to let Wang Xiu serve as the magistrate of Huang County.

"Brother Xie Wenju!"

"Thank you Mingshijun!"

Liu Bei and Wang Xiu thanked each other at the same time.

Zhou Xing saw that Kong Rong seemed a little disappointed, and was afraid that he would regret it, so he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Mingshijun, I heard that there was a man named Liu Zheng in Beihai. This man was quite brave and took refuge in Liaodong in the early years. He is hated by Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong. It is said that he has returned to Beihai now. I wonder if Mingshijun knows about this person?"

"Liu Zheng? Liu Ziquan?"

Kong Rong looked at Zhou Xing strangely. He didn't expect that this young man knew so much. It seemed that he was really a ranger before.

"I know Liu Ziquan, he has indeed returned to Beihai. Well, Xuande wants to recruit him for help?"

In fact, Liu Zheng was not well-known in Beihai, so Sun Qiancai had not heard of him. Kong Rong knew about him because of Bing Yuan.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Exactly, there are many thieves in Donglai. If we can get more help from Qingzhou righteous men, it will be easier to defeat the thieves."

"Wen Sheng, you are indeed very discerning. You are worthy of Xuande recruiting you as a military advisor! Liu Ziquan can be helped by Bing Genju, which shows that this person is an extraordinary person. I actually forgot about this person!"

Kong Rong seemed a little regretful and continued: "As far as I know, Liu Ziquan was hated by Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong because of his wisdom and bravery in Liaodong. All his family members were arrested, but Ziquan escaped and went to Genju. Gongsun Du We went to all the counties to find out whoever dared to hide Liu Zheng was guilty of the same crime as him, but Bing Genju still hid him in his home for more than a month. At that time, Ziyi, the Taishi of Donglai, returned to his hometown, and Genju asked Ziquan to return with him."

"Afterwards, Genju went to talk to Gongsun Du and release Ziquan's family. Haha, I heard that when Ziquan was about to return, he handed over his sword and three gold cakes to Genju. Genju accepted the gold and resigned from the sword. Later, Ziquan The family was released, and Genju returned all the gold cakes. Bing Genju’s virtues are worthy of my praise as ‘the right one’ in the past!”

When Kong Rong was the Prime Minister of Beihai, he once recommended Bing Yuan as a leader. Now that Bing Yuan has such virtue, it naturally makes him quite proud, which shows that he has the ability to recognize people and recommend him appropriately.

When Liu Bei heard Zhou Xing talk about Liu Zheng before, he only said that he was a talented person. Now when he heard Kong Rong talk about it in detail, he couldn't help but feel admiration. He wanted to see Liu Zheng as soon as possible and recruit him for his own use.

At the same time, he also admired Bing Yuan, but he knew that it would be difficult to recruit Bing Yuan to him with his current status.

"I wonder which county in Beihai Liu Ziquan is from? Does Brother Wenju know where his home is?" Liu Bei asked urgently.

"I heard that he is from Pingshou County. Since Shuzhi is going to Donglai with you, when you arrive in Pingshou, Shuzhi can ask the Pingshou County Magistrate, and he will definitely know where Liu Ziquan's family is."

"No." Wang Xiu responded quickly.

In fact, Wang Xiu has also heard about Liu Zheng and hopes that Liu Zheng can go with him to Donglai to rectify the chaos and calm the people.

Kong Rong sent people to Donglai first and asked Guan Tong, the prefect of Donglai, to be appointed as the prefect of Le'an. He also asked Liu Bei to be the prefect of Donglai.

Nowadays, the governor or pastor of a state actually has the right to appoint independently, and whoever you want to be the prefect can be made the prefect.

The above list is actually to give a name, which is to inform the court who has become the governor of which county, regardless of whether the court agrees or not.

Of course, a person who serves as a prefect must have some prestige, and not just anyone can be appointed. Otherwise, if the powerful families in the county are not convinced, there will be chaos.

And with Liu Bei's current reputation, it goes without saying that he can be the Mudu of Qingzhou, let alone just the governor of Donglai.

When he was the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, he already had some reputation in Qingzhou. Now that he is the governor of Donglai, the people of Donglai may be happy and tell each other about it.

After bidding farewell to Kong Rong, Liu Bei left Linyi with Zhou Xing, Wang Xiu and others and rushed back to Yingling.

However, before returning to Yingling, they had to go to Pingshou County to find Liu Zheng.

Pingshou County is northwest of Yingling, and the two counties are not far apart.

Wang Xiu was once the Gaomi Ling of Beihai and the Jiaodong Ling, and now he is the magistrate of Huang County, Donglai. The Pingshou County Magistrate respected him and quickly called all the officials in the county. After asking, he quickly found out where Liu Zhengjia was.

.

The magistrate of Pingshou County asked the county chief to lead the way and led Liu Bei and his party to Liu Zheng's house.

Liu Zheng was able to give three gold cakes to Bingyuan in the past, which shows that he is not from a poor family.

His house is high and spacious, and he even has two servants.

When they first saw Liu Zheng, Liu Bei and Zhou Xing were very satisfied.

This is a tall and cheerful man who exudes a sense of heroism.

After the chief registrar of Pingshou County introduced Liu Bei and others to Liu Zheng, Zhou Xing said: "It can be seen that Brother Ziquan is a forthright person, and we don't need to beat around the bush. To be honest, General Liu has now been appointed as the prefect of Donglai.

As a matter of fact, this visit is because I want Brother Ziquan to go to Donglai County together to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people."

"In the past, Brother Quan fled to Liaodong precisely because of the turmoil in Qingzhou. The people in the prefectures and counties were in turmoil and could not live in peace. They had to leave their hometowns, take the old and support the young, and travel across mountains and seas. It was miserable, and they might even be buried in a foreign land and unable to return to their homeland.

Now General Liu has the ambition to quell the chaos and calm the people, but he still has few troops and may not have enough strength, so..."

"There is no need to say anything more." Before Zhou Xing could finish speaking, Liu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "I have heard the name of General Liu for a long time. He is a benevolent and righteous king. He has the ambition to secure the country and protect the people. Although he is in charge of politics,

I am stupid, but I also know how to stabilize the country and ensure the safety of the people. When I was in Liaodong, Gongsun Du hated me, arrested my family, and wanted to kill me. Now Gongsun Du wants to attack Donglai again. Since General Liu is appointed as the governor of Donglai, I should take the responsibility.

We will do our best to help, not only to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people, but also to resist the troops from Liaodong. We must not let them seize the land of Donglai!"

"Liu Zheng pays homage to General Liu!"

Liu Zheng said and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Ziquan, get up quickly, hahaha, with your help, Donglai will be safe!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

At this time, Liu Bei looked at Zhou Xing, Wang Xiu and Liu Zheng beside him, and felt very happy in his heart.

I never expected that I would lose Xuzhou but gain these three talents.

Especially Zhou Xing, not only pointed out the direction of development for himself, but also asked Lu Bu to return his family members and even asked for five thousand shi of grain. Now that he has recruited two Qingzhou talents for himself, he will definitely be able to gain a solid foundation in Qingzhou.

Maybe we can get more talents to help.

Zhou Xing only felt that Liu Zheng was a cheerful person, but he did not expect that he would be so cheerful. Before he could tell his purpose, he took the initiative to express his attitude.

Liu Zheng packed up his things, took his sword, said goodbye to his family, and followed Liu Bei and others to the Yingling Army.

Liu Bei led his troops east toward Huang County, Donglai County.

Huang County is under the jurisdiction of Donglai County and is not far from the sea. It can be said that it faces Liaodong across the sea.

It is more than four hundred miles from Yingling in Beihai to Huang County in Donglai. Liu Bei's men and horses are small and he is in a hurry, so he can cover seventy or eighty miles in a day.

Six days later, Liu Bei led his troops to the outside of Huang County.

However, I saw that the city gate was closed, no one was outside the city, and the city was crowded with people, bows and guns drawn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

It turned out that the governor of Donglai, Guan Tong, was unwilling to leave Donglai and refused to move to Le'an. He also refused Liu Bei to enter the city.
