"Everyone comes to drink!"

With Liu Bei's call, all the people who were still in Wancheng came to the government office.

Liu Bei was very happy.

There is no intention to cover it up.

Because, since Xuzhou, he once again has a foundation.

The most important thing is that compared with the time in Xuzhou, the foundation he currently has is extremely stable.

He doesn't have to worry about someone betraying him.

Unless, they want to be wiped out by other families.

Therefore, his recruitment speed became many times faster.

"Master."

As people entered the government office, the empty government office became lively in an instant.

"You're welcome!"

Liu Bei waved his hand heroically and said, "Now, everything is all based on your advice and courageous efforts to kill the enemy. They are all your own people, and there is no need to be polite!"

"Here!"

Everyone responded loudly.

Afterwards, with the appearance of a bottle of fine wine, except for Zhang Fei muttering a few words that the wine was not enough to drink, and then he got drunk after two sips, the whole banquet was very enthusiastic.

"Ziyuan, hiccup..."

Jian Yong approached Lin Chen, burped, stared at his confused eyes and said, "They are those rich families, why are they willing to bind to their lord?"

When he spoke, he did not pay attention to anyone else.

Of course, he didn't notice that after his words, many people looked at him.

However, smart people like Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Mi Zhu, and Zhuge Jin did not show much doubt.

Because they already knew the answer.

“The reason is simple.”

Lin Chen took a bite of the meat, pointed to the northeast direction, sneered and said, "Because we blocked Yuan Shu."

"……Ha ha."

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, but he was smart enough to quickly understand the joints. He smiled and raised his glass and said, "It turns out that it's so simple. I didn't expect that Ziyuan is still smart. Come on, have a drink!"

"Okay, have a drink!"

Lin Chen held a very small cup, touched the other party, then slurped it a little beside his mouth, and it was considered to have drunk it - now, it was not yet time for him to relax.

In addition, the reason why the local wealthy families agreed was so simple is that they blocked Yuan Shu.

I said that if you make a fuss, don’t joke about the Overlord of the Central Plains.

There are few people in the world who don’t tremble after hearing this horror.

Even his "bitcher" brother from the north was extremely afraid of Yuan Shu.

It is precisely because of this that when Yuan Shu sent general Ji Ling to lead 20,000 people to attack, the local wealthy families felt in their hearts that Liu Bei would have to work hard to resist.

However.

News came soon ahead that the fight started in the morning, and before afternoon, the two sides actually negotiated to make peace.

What is most confusing is that Liu Xun, the original Lujiang giant and the Jianghuai giant, actually secretly wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Then he failed.

Guan Yu's army emerged from somewhere. When Liu Xun took more than 10,000 soldiers out of Lujiang, the fall of this strong city had become a fact.

That's right.

Lu Su was carrying Ji Ling there, and he didn't know what method he used to make peace with the other party.

It is said that I was having a very happy chat.

As a general, Guan Yu ran to Lujiang to ambush.

If Liu Xun didn't come out, he would definitely not be able to take Lujiang, and there would be no excuse, let alone the name...

But Liu Xun came out.

So Lujiang was taken down by him.

In addition, something confusing came - after Liu Xun was defeated, he did not go to find Ji Ling, but fled to Longshu (now Huoshan County).

Because of his actions, countless people who were optimistic about him were stunned in an instant.

So, when Guan Yu led his army into Lujiang City, countless surrendered people appeared.

Now, many people who were waiting and watching before understood a fact.

The person who is in Lujiang will be replaced by Liu Bei.

Under this situation, the wealthy families in the Jianghuai area themselves have a kind of dedication.

Therefore, after they learned that there were such great benefits in this, they agreed so happily.

Of course, after this incident, Liu Bei did not have any effort... Sun Gan, a disciple of a great Confucian scholar, wrote a gorgeous cry letter of Wenzha.

The content is probably that Liu Bei admires Yuan Shu as if the surging rivers are endless, and as if the Yellow River is flooding and uncontrollable...

However, because Liu Xun did not understand the overall situation, did not listen to Shu Dad's orders, he sent troops privately, intending to destroy the little wealth of Liu Bei, the admirer of Shu Dad, Liu Bei had no choice but to take down Lujiang City.

Finally, he said that although he took Lujiang, he still admired Yuan Shu very much, and hoped that both sides would restrain themselves in view of the current situation in the world, support the Han Dynasty, rebuild Shenzhou, and rank in the future... etc.

Simply put, Liu Bei will no longer be greedy for other areas, but the territory he obtained will never be retreated.

In addition, Yuan Shu could not retaliate - this can be found in the food, gold, silver and other things sent by Liu Bei.

The two sides reached a settlement on this.

No one knows whether Yuan Shu has any thoughts of revenge in his heart.

But people know that from then on, Lujiang was the talk of Liu Bei.

...

After the banquet, Liu Bei took Lin Chen's hand and walked to his residence behind the government office.

"Ziyuan, now Lujiang is safe. When will we set out to fight Jiangxia?"

"tomorrow!"

Lin Chen said decisively: "To be honest, the stable speed in the Jianghuai area is far beyond Chen's previous expectations. With our current strength, the faster we defeat Jiangxia, the better!"

"It's the same as I thought."

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought you would say that you would go to Jiangxia only after the results of that comparison group came out."

"It was too late then."

Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Chen hopes to fight again after the result, but if he doesn't take Jiangxia as soon as possible, the trip to Nanyang that the lord decided with Chen before will probably cause a lot of trouble."

The reason why he took out the joint-stock system was to quickly and safely manage it.

Otherwise, when Nanyang is gradually occupied, the strategy he started will not be easy to continue.

Although, according to history, Zhang Xiu only occupied a Wancheng in the end.

But who knows whether some change will happen in the end?

So, they naturally fight faster, the better.

Of course, at the same time, they also have to ensure that their governance is stable, otherwise they will be driven away sooner or later.

However, this problem no longer exists.

"That's fine, it's clear..."

Liu Bei nodded, just as he was about to say something, suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Chen in surprise and said, "Ziyuan means to go directly to the battle tomorrow?"

According to his intention, starting from tomorrow, we will recruit civilians, build an army system, and allocate various armies...

And if you have to finish all the above things, it will take three or four days.

But the meaning of Lin Chen's words and words was different from what he thought.

I will send troops directly tomorrow...

Is there no need to prepare?

"right."

"Will it be too fast? If we wait for a few days, maybe..." Liu Bei stopped at the end.

"The news will leak!"

Before Lin Chen could not notice the problem, he continued: "The lord must not be careful of this!"
To be continued...
