Chapter 299 Shu Han (I)

Two more years later

Spring of the fifth year of photosynthetic (182 AD)

Zhuo County

Zhuo County

Black Wind Village

"kill!"

Liu Bei personally led more than 200 leaders to kill the leader of Heifeng Village.

Heifengzhai is a bandit nest near Zhuo County. There are dozens of bandits entrenched in it. They plunder local people all year round. The government has serious corruption and military expenditures are corruption, so they have no money to send troops to suppress bandits.

Therefore, the government had to "use bandits to control bandits" and torch some relatively gentle rangers, using these moderate rangers to suppress those bandits.

Zhuo County has many ranger gangs, and Liu Bei's [Jimin Association] is one of them.

Although the court does not allow private troops to form an army, regulations are one thing, and whether there is anyone doing it is another. At least the slaves from wealthy businessmen and powerful manors are really just simple slaves?

A newcomer from the [Jimin Association] is very powerful. He has killed three bandits in a row, and is extremely fierce.

"Xianhe, who is that person? So fierce?"

Liu Bei, the president of the gang who was commanding the battle, asked Jian Yong, the dog-headed military advisor beside him.

"Oh, a gang member I just collected a few days ago, named Guan Yu, whose courtesy name is Yunchang, seems to be from Bingzhou." The dog-headed military advisor Jian Yong replied, feeling very happy about recruiting a great young man like Guan Yu.

At this time, another new gang member also attracted Liu Bei's attention.

I saw a burly man with a leopard head and a ring-headed sword in his hand, shouted loudly, rushed to the front bravely and fearlessly, killing the leader of the Black Wind Village.

"Who is that person?" Liu Bei asked in surprise. He was very excited about his gang having such awesome existence. He was a capable subordinate.

"It is also a newcomer who just joined our gang a few days ago. His name is Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide. He is a native of our Zhuo County. He is a friend of Guan Yunchang just now. They both joined our gang on the same day." Jian Yong replied.

"Not bad, these two people have great martial arts and are worthy of reusing." Liu Bei nodded, very satisfied with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After several hours of fierce battles, Liu Bei's Ji people won the fewer ones and wiped out the Black Wind Village that had been entrenched for many years.

"Dear brothers, it is all your efforts to wipe out Heifeng Village today. All the stolen goods in this Heifeng Village will be shared by you. I, Liu Bei, will not take any money!" Liu Bei is worthy of being the leader of Zhuo County, and he is very loyal to brothers.

If the young and dandy don’t understand the world and only know how to fight blindly, he will be a young and dandy all his life.

Liu Bei knew this truth well, so he not only seized the opportunity given by his elders of the same clan to go to Lu Zhi to gain fame, but also became a student of Lu Zhi and added fame to himself. After returning to his hometown, he established the [Journal of the People], under the banner of saving the world and saving the people, and popularized more than a dozen ranger gangs on Zhuo County Road, becoming the well-deserved godfather of Zhuo County.

He dared to fight and kill, and always rushed to the front whenever there was a big event, and knew how to advance and retreat. When he encountered a strong enemy, he quickly retreated and avoided his edge first. With this move, in just four or five years, he, Liu Bei, defeated dozens of ranger gangs in Zhuo County, and became the most powerful man in the underworld of Zhuo County.

"Oye!"

"Boss Liu is the best among so many bosses I have followed. I know how to share good things and never take them all by myself."

"I am willing to follow Boss Liu to the death."

When everyone was happy to divide the stolen goods from Heifeng Village, Liu Bei came to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Two brothers, can I let Liu Bei get to know each other?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, and then answered one after another.

"My name is Guan Yu, and my name is Yunchang. My surname was Changsheng. I had been a soldier in the army for two years. However, because I couldn't stand a powerful man named Huang Shiren who oppressed the people in the village and robbed the women of the people in the hometown, I was furious and killed the powerful Huang Shiren. In order to avoid the pursuit of corrupt officials, I had to change my name and flee to the comrades in Zhuo County. Not long ago, I heard that you should take your younger brother, so we thought about making a living, so we came." Guan Yu replied truthfully. He was nine feet tall (213CM), and he was very tall, and he looked like a kind of aura that was pressed against Mount Tai.

"My name is Zhang Fei. I used to be an officer. I worked as a military waiter in the army, but the court had no money to raise soldiers and kept laying troops to save military expenses. I, Zhang Fei, had no background, so I was squeezed out by them and then returned to my hometown in Zhuo County to farm. Guan Yunchang was my comrade-in-arms. After killing people, he ran to my house to take refuge. A few days ago, I heard that Boss Liu, you recruit your younger brother, and we came. We had no other extravagant hopes. I just wanted Boss Liu to stay us so that we could have a full meal." After all, Zhang Fei was an officer, and his family was a small landlord family before, but later the land annexation became more and more serious, and their land was also annexed by the stronger landlords. Therefore, Zhang Fei's educational level is still good, and he is eight feet tall (188CM). Just look at his height, you know that it must be a good material for fighting and charging.

"With two big brothers helping me, Liu Bei, is like a tiger! Hahaha!" After hearing the introduction of the two, Liu Bei not only did not dislike him, but laughed heartily, pulled up the palms of their calloused hands, and said to them: "From now on, you two will be my half-brothers of Liu Bei!"

The two of them received such attention from the boss as soon as they joined the gang, so they were very moved and said, "I would like to go through fire and water for Boss Liu!"

"Hey, why are you calling me boss? Call me brother!" Liu Bei, who has a very emotional intelligence, further brought the relationship between the three of them closer.

The world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature!

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and smiled, then knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists at Liu Bei and said, "Brother!"

"Hahahaha! OK!" Liu Bei was a virtuous man and quickly helped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei up, and said to them: "From now on, we will be brothers and sisters, work together to make a name for ourselves in this world!"

"I wish to go up the sword mountain and the sea of ​​fire for my elder brother!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the other two said in unison.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, and a woman is tolerate him.

Can you meet someone who truly appreciates them? Is there anything else that is not worthy of loyalty to?

Just when Liu Bei was still happy that he had received two capable players, a minion came over and reported: "Boss Liu, there are two horse vendors who want to buy horses from us."

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded, and then took everyone back to the gang base.

Two hours later

"It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar." Before the people arrived, laughter arrived first. As soon as they returned to the gang station, Liu Bei laughed enthusiastically at the two horse vendors who smuggled horses: "I wonder what the two gentlemen are calling them?"

The two horse smugglers also laughed:

"I, Zhang Shiping, a person from Zhongshan County, heard that the horse smuggling business in Zhuo County was all responsible for, so I came to visit him."

"I, Su Shuang, have a cooperative relationship with Lao Zhang, and I smuggled horses together."

The two merchants said truthfully that they were both merchants from Zhongshan County and came to Zhuo County to smuggle horses.

The reason why we ran to Zhuo County to smuggle horses was because horses were strategic materials. The court prohibited private buying and selling horses, and only the government could do horses. Once private buying and selling horses were found, they would be fined at the least, and to jail at the worst.

Liu Bei from Zhuo County had the protective umbrella of Gongsun Zan and was able to own a large number of black market horses.

Zhuo County has now formed such a smuggling industry chain: Gongsun Zan smuggled horses from the grassland to Liaoxi County, and then Liu Bei secretly contacted smuggling merchants in Zhuo County near the Central Plains, secretly transported Gongsun Zan's horses to Zhuo County, and finally smuggled and sold these black market horses to horse dealers. The profits were the protection umbrellas on the white road, Gongsun Zan divided the big heads, and Liu Bei, the boss in the underworld, divided the small heads.

Such smuggling business starts with the defeat of the Han army during the expedition to the Xianbei army.

The Han army expeditioned to the Xianbei region, but the entire army was wiped out. In order to re-establish the cavalry unit, Emperor Liu Hong no longer sold officials privately, but publicly sold officials in the Western Palace and used the money earned from selling officials to buy horses at a high price. The price of war horses in the Central Plains has also increased from 200,000 yuan per horse during the An Emperor period to 2 million yuan per horse now.

Wang Yan once said that when profits are more than three times (300%), merchants will trample on all laws in the world.

Nowadays, the profit of horse smuggling is as high as six or seven times. No wonder merchants in the Central Plains try their best to come to Youzhou to smuggle horses, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are typical of them.

But smuggling naturally requires both black and white to eat, so Liu Bei was able to enter the sea with dragons and leaps the dragon gate, and use black market smuggling to develop his own private armed forces.

His senior brother Gongsun Zan provided him with a protective umbrella in the officialdom, and he himself defeated other colleagues, unified the underworld of Zhuo County, and completely monopolized the black market smuggling trade in Zhuo County.
