During a non-war period, it was the first time in Zhuo County that a large army entered the city in the middle of the night.

Watching the expressionless Guan Yu riding his horse slowly past him, Gongsun Zan felt that the situation seemed different from what he had imagined.

I was just a gentle and soft-spoken classmate, but I have never shown such a decisive and strong performance.

Five hundred sergeants under Guan Yu entered the city and forcibly took over the defense of Zhuoxian County. Not only the four gates and city walls, but also the county government, the county government, the grain depot, the bank warehouse, and the arsenal were all controlled by the soldiers, and all entries and exits were strictly inspected.

Everyone must be registered.

Moreover, every hour, there are several squads of brightly-armored sergeants running around like city guards in the city.

As for the reason, Guan Yu said calmly: "After receiving a notice from the scouts, we found traces of the Hu people exploring the south. Therefore, we strictly conducted a search and arrest to prevent the military aircraft from being leaked."

When it comes to the military situation involving the invasion of the Hu people, the county and county governments can hardly intervene unless they can get the order from the emperor or the court, or the military order from the Taiwei.

Therefore, when dawn came, the elders in counties and counties under strict military control exploded.

Business can no longer be done, food, fruits and vegetables cannot be brought in, and even the firewood for cooking has been cut off.

Is it possible that everyone swallows raw hair alive and drinks blood, imitating their ancestors and becoming cavemen?

A large number of Zhuo County residents did not dare to cause trouble to the aggressive soldiers, but they surrounded the gates of the county and county offices, demanding an explanation passionately.

Guan Yu smiled slightly, happy to see the success.

At this time, Gongsun Zan, whose eyes were darkened after a sleepless night, was sitting in front of Prefect Liu's bed, looking embarrassed.

Compared with yesterday, Prefect Liu obviously looked much better and glanced at his old friend's son-in-law with some dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, what are Bogui's plans?"

"That guy used the pretext of arresting barbarians to do whatever he wanted. He clearly didn't take his uncle seriously..."

Liu Taishou felt funny in his heart. He still wanted to use me as a shield at this time. How naive!

"Hey, you can't say that. I'm already fifty and should have returned home to recuperate. Zhuo County will have to rely on Bogui to take the lead in the future."

A guy who can cause trouble but not settle things, still wants to become the Lord of Youzhou?

What's more, it was you who challenged your classmates first, more than once, and it was reasonable for them to fight back.

Then again, I know that arresting barbarians and hunting horses is nonsense, but why should I stop it? Is it possible for me to pat my chest and guarantee that no barbarians will come to hunt horses?

Just because I don't argue when things go wrong doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Seeing Gongsun Zan blushing and turning pale, Taishou Liu didn't want to bother himself anymore.

"Okay! In my humble opinion, your classmate still misses the old relationship. It's time to apologize, it's time to admit defeat, and just avoid him from now on."

Stand at attention when you are beaten!

If you don’t understand this, how can you still fool around?

At the gate of the military camp, Gongsun Zan stood on a white horse for half an hour, and was finally brought to Liu Bei's tent.

Liu Bei, fully armored, came out "overjoyed" to welcome him.

"Oops, Bogui is here!"

After saying that, he kicked Liu Neng and scolded: "You idiot, why didn't you pass the message earlier?"

Liu Neng immediately said aggrievedly: "The captain and the army are discussing, I dare not disturb it."

"Well, that's true. However, Bogui and I have been classmates for many years. If we do it again next time, military law will be ruthless!"

Seeing the clumsy performance of the master and servant, Gongsun Zan felt as if a big stone was stuck in his heart.

"Xuande is busy with military affairs. Zan can wait for a while. It's okay."

"Haha, Bo Gui is indeed very considerate, please come quickly!"

Liu Bei and his classmates entered the tent, and the guests and hosts sat separately.

Liu Bei blinked his innocent big eyes and asked: "I wonder why Bogui is here? If there is anyone who doesn't have a good eye, just say it and I will help you get rid of it."

"Pa!"

Gongsun Zan felt as if he had been severely slapped in the face. His blood surged and he almost fell out on the spot.

After a while, Gongsun Zan, who was forced into a corner, could only surrender and admit defeat.

"Xuande, it's all my brother's fault. I have severely punished my subordinates for their negligence and indolence. I have sent people to rush to repair the school captain's mansion and it will be completed within three days."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Bogui is still kind. Thank you very much, little brother."

At this time, two veterans with white beards and hair came into the tent and served wine, food and fruits. They were probably overwhelmed by the weight of their armor, panting and moving slowly.

"Hey, I made Bo Gui laugh. The emperor ordered my younger brother to lead the troops to guard the border and suppress the rebels. But now nearly half of the generals are tired and the old soldiers are tired. I might have betrayed the divine grace!"

Gongsun Zan, who knew full well, could only apologize: "Some dogs must have neglected their duties. I will find out the reason today and send you thousands of elite soldiers."

"Ah, I'm so sorry. However, I really can't even recognize the head of a human being. In this case, there is Lao Bogui."

"Should, should."

So, we ate, drank, and chatted about home life.

Zhang Fei lifted the door curtain and barged in, saying angrily: "Captain, the last general has just counted, and one thousand and five war horses are unqualified. I wonder which grandson is responsible for the mischief?"

"Poof!"

Gongsun Zan was so angry and anxious that he spit out a mouthful of wine.

Obviously only a thousand good horses were replaced, why did it become a thousand and a half?

Ah, I understand, this black-hearted big-eared thief is sure to kill himself.

Damn, are you talking about the friendship between classmates?

Gongsun Zan, whose heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were bleeding, could only pinch his nose no matter how reluctant he was, and "generously" gave a gift of five hundred good horses.

Leaving the military camp in the north of the city, Gongsun Zan searched for the property he had accumulated for many years, and nearly half of it fell into the hands of his classmates.

Liu Bei laughed out loud as he enthusiastically sent his reluctant Baima classmate out of the military camp.

I don’t seem to be convinced yet, so I’ll play with you slowly.

The smiling big-eared thief was busy counting the tickets, and Zhuoxian also stopped.

Dozens of craftsmen painted, repaired, cleaned, and rushed to repair the school captain's official residence.

The unarmored and unsoldier patrol team of five people behaved in a well-behaved manner, supporting the old and the young, and their attitude was very kind. After all, they are very close friends.

All the sergeants withdrew and returned to the city, leaving only the four fixed guards at the four gates of Zhuoxian County and the city walls, and they only searched for suspicious persons.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that in the first round, the local snake who has been domineering for many years suffered a big loss, but the fierce dragon crossing the river really has two brushes.

So, everything went smoothly.

One thousand five hundred elite soldiers were sent into the military camp, one thousand five hundred war horses were rushed into the stables, and the military camp in the north of the city entered normal operation.

Captain Fuquan, who took office, issued three military orders.

1. Officers and soldiers are fed and housed together, drill twice a day, explain the art of war and combat examples in the evening, and conduct confrontation exercises at the end of the month.

2. Pay close attention to hygiene and medical care, conduct regular health examinations, and prohibit drinking of raw water, public toilets, and public bathhouses. Violators will be severely punished.

3. Promulgate regulations on rewards and punishments, set an example, reward the good and punish the bad, make all official expenditures clear, and accept supervision by the entire military.

The 1,500 private soldiers who serve as the backbone and main force are okay, but the newly recruited 3,000 indigenous soldiers are an eye-opener.

"What? Practice twice a day? Stay up at night and listen to Master's lectures?"

"What? You can only drink water after boiling it? A designated pit for defecation? A group bathing with bare buttocks?"

"What, what, what? You have three meals a day, both meat and vegetables, and you can get food every month? Are you going to get pensions if you die or get injured?"

How much does this good thing that I have never dreamed of cost the captain? Can it be true?

Breaking the rules will always cause various reactions. Many soldiers do not take it seriously and even wait to see the joke.

But Liu Bei knew very well that a well-educated, secure, and relatively fair army was almost invincible.

And he is not short of money now. A thousand bad horses have been transferred to Zhang Su, which means he has start-up capital.

Having completely secured his position as the largest horse dealer in Youzhou, the two investors tacitly donated 30% of their shares, making him a million dollars a month.

Once the power was in hand, the emperor's uncle revealed his true nature as the God of Wealth.

Relying on the reputation of military rations and camp craftsmen, Zhang Su Trading Company has no scruples in getting involved in the four major profit-making industries of grain, tea, salt and iron.

As an aside, tea was not yet popular at this time, but Liu Bei, who had a golden finger, insisted that Zhang Su send someone to Jiangnan to invest in tea gardens.

In addition to the introduction of hoofs, tea bricks will definitely become an expert in dealing with the northern nomadic tribes who eat meat all day long in the future.

With the implementation of the new military regulations, Sanjia Village, not far from the military camp, unexpectedly gradually prospered.

One after another, merchants came to the village and opened food stores, wine shops, butcher shops, hardware shops, cloth shops and other stalls.

The goal of these shops is very clear, specializing in military camp business. After all, four to five thousand people can eat, drink and wear a lot in a day. What about a month and a year?

People in the world are not stupid. More and more merchants smelled the smell and followed. Sanjia Village, which originally had only dozens of households, made a huge profit.

The oldest business with a half-open door will naturally not be absent. Those young women standing by the door have become the most beautiful scenery in Sanjia Village.

There are a lot of bachelors in the military camp. Receiving food every month is equivalent to receiving money. If you have money, you will naturally spend it.

Therefore, when it comes to money, businessmen with a keen sense of smell are always the first to smell it.

A certain red-faced wanted criminal and a black-faced butcher were both cleared by virtue of their impressive military exploits and became a serious Han Cavalry Commander, with a rank of thousands of stones.

With this status, looking at Youzhou, he is also a proper senior official.

As merchants, Zhang and Su did not dare to climb up to the royal family, so they could only take a step back and choose their second and third brothers who were once well matched to show their friendship.

Zhang Shiping married Guan Yu with his legitimate daughter Zhang Lian'er, confirming the marriage relationship. Wang Laowu, the last single among the three brothers, officially announced that he was single.

Su Shuang had no daughter, so he took his daughter as Zhang Fei's concubine, which also showed his intention to marry.

At this point, the two big families of Zhongshan, Zhang and Su, have completely fallen into the trap of Liu Guan and Zhang.
