Kong Rong's Qingzhou governor was recommended by Liu Bei. Moreover, before Kong Rong was besieged by Guan Hai, Liu Bei came to relieve him. It can be said that Liu Bei was kind to Kong Rong.

The two met and exchanged greetings, and Kong Rong immediately welcomed Liu Bei and others into the city and into the palace, where they served wine to each other.

Zhou Xing was wearing a robe and a scarf on his head. He looked like a commoner with a sword hanging on his waist. He looked like a knight-errant. He was also very young, but he was sitting next to Liu Bei, which made Kong Rong suspicious.

After watching for a long time, Kong Rong finally couldn't help but asked Liu Bei: "Xuande, is this person next to you..."

"Bei Zheng is about to introduce to Brother Wenju that this is Zhou Xing, courtesy name Wensheng, from Xiapi, Xuzhou. He was originally a ranger who worked for justice, and is now a military advisor in our army. And this one is from Beihai. A disciple of Zheng Gong Zheng Kangcheng, his name is Sun Qian, whose courtesy name is Gongyou, and he is also from Beihai."

Liu Bei quickly introduced Zhou Xing and Sun Qian to Kong Rong, while Zhang Fei was guarding the door.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of Duke Zheng. Is Duke Zheng still in Xuzhou?"

When Kong Rong heard that Zhou Xing was originally just a ranger, his eyes immediately changed from doubt to coldness and disdain, but when he looked at Sun Qian, his eyes were full of joy and enthusiasm.

Sun Qian quickly replied: "My master is still in Xuzhou and is preparing to return to Beihai."

"It's good to be back. Mr. Zheng has returned home, and I won't be lonely anymore, haha..." Kong Rong smiled for a while, and then said to Liu Bei, "Xuande, Lu Bu was treacherous and shameless, and robbed your Xuzhou, and now you are here. Qingzhou, just stay here and govern Qingzhou with me. By the way, why don't you bring all the people and horses, but let them stay in Yingling?"

Without waiting for Liu Bei to reply, Zhou Xing said first: "The most chaotic place among the fourteen states in the world is Qingzhou. Yellow scarf bandits are rampant and loot at will. Rich and powerful families rely on their power and are not afraid of the government. They kill people and seize land without being arrested. There were also soldiers from Liaodong who were building ships and boats with the intention of attacking. The people suffered unbearably and abandoned their fields and homes. Some turned into thieves, or died tragically on the road, or fled to other states. It was the great sages like Guan Ning and Bingyuan. The most virtuous people were also forced to flee to Liaodong, and Duke Zheng also left home to flee to Xuzhou. General Liu came here this time to stay in Qingzhou and help the Ming Dynasty quell the chaos and calm the people!"

Zhou Xing felt Kong Rong's contempt. His words detailing the rebellion in Qingzhou were actually a slap in Kong Rong's face.

Kong Rong was the governor of Qingzhou, and the chaos in the state showed that he was very incompetent.

Today, there are fourteen states in the Han Dynasty, namely Sili, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.

Yongzhou was separated from Liangzhou in the first year of Xingping, and has four counties: Jincheng, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, and Zhangye.

And Zhou Xing is right, Qingzhou is indeed the most chaotic state at this time.

Liu Bei couldn't help frowning after hearing Zhou Xing's words, and said quickly: "Bei came to Qingzhou to help Brother Wenju."

"Hmph!" Kong Rong looked at Zhou Xing with disgust, "Did the rebellion in Qingzhou start because of me?"

"I didn't mean that," Zhou Xing said with a smile, "Mr. Mingshi, I was once a knight-errant, traveling in Qingzhou, and encountered robbers. I killed more than a dozen robbers, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people of Qingzhou. According to what I said

We know that the rebellion in Qingzhou was mainly due to the incompetence of the former governor Jiao He, which led to the current chaos. When Ming Shijun was the prime minister of Beihai, he wiped out the bandits and established schools, and Beihai was quite peaceful for a while."

"It's just that as the governor of a state, Mingshi Jun has no intention of governing the state. However, the governors and governors of the state are not united, so they are unable to suppress the bandits. As a result, the bandits are increasing and becoming uncontrollable. General Liu

I came here today precisely because I want to create a chaotic county to help the Ming Dynasty envoy to control the chaos and bring peace to the people."

"Speaking of chaotic counties, among the counties in Qingzhou today, Donglai County is undoubtedly the most chaotic. Not only are there many Yellow Turban pirates, but Liaodong soldiers and horses are about to attack. No one but General Liu can pacify this county! Please tell me clearly.

Recommending General Liu Xuande as the prefect of Donglai will be beneficial to the people of Donglai, and it will also be beneficial to the people of Qingzhou! In the future, the bandits will be eliminated and Qingzhou will be governed, which will also be attributed to the Mingshijun!"

Zhou Xing kept talking, and seemed to praise Kong Rong for his determination to govern the state, and for his contribution as Prime Minister of Beihai. He put the responsibility for the Qingzhou Rebellion on Jiao He, the former governor, which made his anger gradually subside.

Especially the pie painted by Zhou Xing moved his heart.

"Brother Wenju, Donglai County hangs on the sea surface, and bandits and pirates are in chaos. Bei really wants to wipe out the bandits for the people of Donglai, so that the people can return home in peace and engage in farming. I have done my best.

"Liu Bei said immediately.

Kong Rong first looked at Zhou Xing, then looked at Liu Bei and said: "Xuande is kind and righteous, and everyone knows that Donglai is indeed the most chaotic, with bandits and bandits running rampant, but... Donglai already has a prefect, and there is no prefect to govern."

Sinful mistake..."

The current governor of Donglai is Guan Tong, and Zhou Xing did not know about it until he arrived in Qingzhou.

"Ming Shijun, it is the responsibility of the prefect to eliminate chaos and bring peace to the people. As the prefect of Donglai, Guan Tong cannot eliminate the chaos and bring peace to the people. He must be derelict in his duty. He may even collude with bandits. How can we say that he is not guilty? If he is really

If you collude with thieves and bandits and harm the people, then Mingshijun is careless in employing people. I am afraid that the people's resentment will also be blamed on Mingshijun."

Zhou Xing's words made Kong Rong secretly frightened.

He has always been someone who wants reputation. If it is true, as Zhou Xing said, that Guan Tong colluded with the Yellow Turban pirates to cause trouble, the people of Donglai may blame him. After all, Guan Tong was appointed by him as the prefect.

However, Guan Tong was from Beihai, and the Guan family was very powerful in Beihai and even in Qingzhou, so he did not dare to offend easily.

While Kong Rong was hesitating, Zhou Xing added: "Even if the prefect Guan Tong did not collude with the bandits, he worked with the wealthy to oppress the people, invade the fields and seize property, and kill people at will. This is a sure thing. I think you must know it in your heart."

.The anger of the people of Donglai has been building up for a long time, and one day it will explode. At that time, there will not only be chaos among thieves and bandits in Donglai, but also anti-people disasters, which will even spread to the entire Qingzhou and the whole state.

Anti!"

"General Liu Xuande is loyal to the emperor, loves the people, is brave and benevolent, has the courage of thousands of people under his command, and has won the hearts of the soldiers to fight to the death. He will surely eliminate the bandits and resist the troops from Liaodong. If the bandits are eliminated, the people will be safe.

If the people are safe, they will not turn into thieves, so that Donglai will be safe. If Donglai is safe, General Liu can also help the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the thieves in the state, so that the whole state can be safe."

Liu Bei's blood boiled when he heard this. Thinking of the suffering of the people in Donglai and his own responsibility, he couldn't help but clenched his fist and beat the case and said: "Suppressing the thieves and bringing peace to the people is what we should do. If we don't eliminate the bandits, we will feel uneasy! Brother Wenju, Donglai

The chaos is distressing. If you want to put an end to the chaos, you should go to Donglai. As for the governor, how about moving him to another county?"

Liu Bei had previously listened to Zhou Xing's words to allow him to survive and develop, and was willing to go to Donglai. Now he heard Zhou Xing talk about the chaos in Donglai, which made him angry, thinking that he should go to Donglai to eliminate thieves and rectify the chaos, so that the people could be brought under control.

You can live in peace and enjoy farming.

At the same time, he also understood Kong Rong's worries. After all, Guan Tong, the prefect of Donglai, was a member of a wealthy family. If he was dismissed at will, he would attract criticism, so he proposed that Guan Tong be transferred to another county to continue to be the prefect.
