After Liu Beixin recruited 2,000 captives and bandits into soldiers, he had 5,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to the more than 1,000 people left behind in Huang County, he had more than 6,000 soldiers.

For a state, six thousand soldiers and horses are very few, but for a county, it is a lot.

Now that the two leading thieves, Wang Ying and Cong Qian, have been eliminated, the main thieves in Donglai County are Guan Cheng and Guan Hai.

Guan Cheng gathered five to six thousand people in Changguang County. After Guan Hai's previous defeat, there were still nearly ten thousand people in Luxiang Mountain.

He didn't dare to deal with Guan Hai, after all, he was hiding in the mountains and was not easy to destroy. But when it came to Guan Cheng, who built a Wubao garrison, Liu Bei was confident that he could be destroyed.

Although the two thousand newly recruited soldiers have not been trained, they will have no problem dealing with Guan Cheng's rabble.

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine. We can divide our troops into two groups so that we can transport food back to Huang County and suppress Guan Cheng. Military advisor, Yide is going with you. You should be the main one.

Virtue must obey your orders."

Before Zhou Xing could answer, Zhang Fei answered first: "Brother, don't worry, of course I will listen to the military advisor."

"Lord, the Wubao here and the Wubao in Mouping should be demolished. Don't let the thieves gather to defend it again and harm the people."

Zhou Xing is very relieved about Zhang Fei. Now the black-faced general has a favorable impression of him, and he is easy to listen to what he says. As for these two forts, Zhou Xing believes that he cannot keep them.

It is not easy to build a fort. It requires manpower and time. If these two forts are demolished now, if someone wants to build one in the future, they will not be able to build it as long as Liu Bei is still in Donglai.

Li Ye quickly agreed: "Yes, Wen Sheng's words are true. If the thieves are strong, the most important thing is to have Wubao where they can gather. It will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to suppress them. If these two places are destroyed, the people of Mouping and Dongmu will no longer be able to fight against each other."

No more worries about bandits."

Liu Bei nodded: "Yes, if we can't defend it, it will be occupied by thieves. It's time to demolish it."

Zhou Xing then suggested: "My lord, you can summon the people of this county to demolish it together. This will let the people know the lord's determination to suppress thieves, and also make them believe that as long as the lord is in Donglai, there will be no more thieves in Donglai in the future."

.When the people feel at ease, they can work hard. If there are more fields, the people will have food to eat and we will have taxes to collect."

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Wonderful, I only wanted to demolish the fort, but I didn't expect that the people could be demolished together. All the people who come to demolish the fort can receive one liter of food per person. What do the military advisors think?"

Zhou Xing was also overjoyed: "Of course it's good. In this way, my lord can show his power and show his kindness, killing two birds with one stone."

Liu Bei immediately asked the magistrate of Dongmou County to summon local people to demolish the Wubao barrier.

As a result, nearly ten thousand people came, including men, women, old and young. When they heard that the Wubao where thieves gathered was going to be demolished, they all jumped for joy. They also heard that those who came to demolish the Wubao could each receive one liter of food, so they all

Here we help the old and the young.

It only took three days to dismantle the Wubao barrier, but the houses in the fort were not demolished and were left for the people to live in.

After unpacking, each person was given a liter of grain.

At the grain distribution site, an old man in his seventies held grain in his hands, knelt down to Liu Bei, and said: "Mr. Liu, I have lived a lifetime, and there have been countless governors of Donglai, but you are the first to express your gratitude to the people."

The prefect who distributes the grain. The Lord has already distributed the grain once a few days ago. This time the thief's fortress will be demolished. Even if the Lord does not share the grain, we will be happy to demolish it. With Lord Liu in Donglai, we have a way to survive!

”

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up: "Ah, the king's camp has caused you a lot of trouble these years! All this food is actually grown by you. No more thieves will come to snatch the food you have grown, which is the field."

Taxes will also be reduced. Wang Ying and Congqian are dead, and Guan Cheng and Guan Hai are not far away from death. You can rest assured that I will definitely wipe out all these bandits entrenched in Donglai and give you a safe Donglai!"

The old man had just been lifted up, and now he knelt down again, looking at the sky and sighing: "The sky has eyes, it sent Mr. Liu Fu to Donglai, the sky has eyes!"

Other people knelt down one after another to express their support and gratitude to Liu Bei, and were glad that they had a good governor.

One liter of food is not much, but the people they came to dismantle the Wubao were children of only two or three years old, who could not help at all. As long as they came, they could receive food, which was something they could not imagine.

Liu Bei sent people to Mouping and asked Jian Yong and Liu Zheng to work with the county magistrate to summon the people to demolish the Wubao. They also distributed one liter of grain to each person who came to demolish it.

After the work here was completed, Zhou Xing and Zhang Fei led 3,000 people to prepare to go to Changguang County to suppress Guan Cheng.

Among the 3,000 people they led, 1,000 were new recruits, and the other 1,000 new recruits were led by Liu Bei to transport grain back to Huang County.

Before leaving, Liu Bei told Zhang Fei: "Yide, the military advisor's order is my order. When you go with the military advisor, you must listen to the military advisor's words and don't act rashly!"

This Zhang Fei has a bad temper. He can still listen to Liu Bei's words, but other people's words will probably just fall on deaf ears and be ignored.

Liu Bei was worried that he would not obey Zhou Xing, so he gave special orders.

Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Brother, when did I go against the military advisor? I have always listened to his words. As long as the military advisor lets me rush in front when killing the enemy."

"What if the military advisor doesn't allow it?" Liu Bei's face darkened.

"If you don't let me... If you don't let me, I won't let you. It's okay if I don't rush to the front, hehe."

Zhang Fei was afraid that Liu Bei would not let him and Zhou Xing go to suppress Guan Cheng.

Zhou Xing laughed at the side and said: "Lord, don't worry, Zhang Sima is not ignorant of importance. Besides, how can I not let Zhang Sima rush in the front to kill the enemy? Zhang Sima just needs to stand up, cross the spear, and roar with "black face"

The general is here, I'm afraid all the thieves will turn around and run away."

Zhang Fei laughed: "Hahaha... the military advisor knows me!"

Liu Bei looked helpless and relieved. Fortunately, Military Advisor Zhou understood Zhang Fei's temperament and could always satisfy him when he spoke.

However, if the second brother Yun Chang was as smart as Zhou's military advisor, it would be difficult for him to satisfy him with words.

Liu Bei said no more and watched Zhou Xing and Zhang Fei lead his troops to the west. He led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to carry money and grain to Muping first, and then together with Jian Yong and Liu Zheng, he led two thousand soldiers and horses, transporting 500,000 yuan.

Money, 70,000 shi of grain, and headed to Huang County.

The mountain road was not easy to travel, so Zhou Xing and Zhang Fei led their troops and horses to walk for several days to Guanyang County in Beihai.

Guanyang County belongs to Beihai and is east of Changguang County. The two counties are not far apart and can be reached in one day.

Along the way, Zhang Fei was obedient. In fact, he understood many things in his heart and knew which things were important and which were not.

Sometimes the main reason for making mistakes is that you can't control yourself, for example, you like to hit people after being drunk.

But since Liu Bei gave him a wooden figure with Lu Bu's name engraved on it, he never hit anyone around him again.

This makes Zhou Xing quite gratified. As long as Zhang Fei insists on this, it will not be easy for him to die in the future.

On the road, Zhang Fei rode beside Zhou Xing and suddenly asked: "Military advisor, what kind of woman do you want?"

Zhou Xing thought for a moment and was about to answer when a fast horse came from behind and ran to him and reined in the horse to an emergency stop.

"Reporting to the military advisor, the leader of the thieves, Guan Hai, led five to six thousand people to leave Lu Township and is rushing to Huang County."

When Zhou Xing heard this, he hurriedly ordered: "Send the order, the whole army stops and waits where it is."
