Fortunately, Chen Yuan's worries were unnecessary, and the two men had no intention of taking the opportunity to escape and report.
In fact, even if the two of them reported it to the government, almost no one would believe them.
Guan Yu came, but he did not appear in front of the two of them, but followed them secretly.
If they don't rebel, they are protected. If they rebel, Guan Yu can kill them at any time.
This may not seem very authentic, but in troubled times, it’s always good to have a clear mind.
The two arrived at Zhang Fei's manor smoothly, and Liu Bei warmly received them.
The smooth arrival of the two people already meant that they had passed the preliminary test.
Later, the two of them settled in Zhang Fei Manor, which will naturally be of use in the future.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While in the valley, Chen Yuan taught these Yellow Turbans how to open up land, build houses, build fortifications, etc. One was to discover talents, the other was to improve the defense capabilities of the valley, and the third was to allow these Yellow Turbans to be partially self-sufficient and reduce the pressure on Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.
.
On the other side, Chen Yuan paid close attention to Zhang Fei's actions.
After every action, Zhang Fei would arrange for a special person to send news to Chen Yuan in order to obtain Chen Yuan's latest instructions.
Seven days later, Zhang Fei had defeated fourteen groups of bandits in a row, and basically all the bandits in the south of Zhuo County had been wiped out. Zhang Fei sent people back this time to ask Chen Yuan, what should be done next?
Should we continue to go north to eliminate the bandits, or should we start killing chickens as a warning to monkeys and target those landlords who have committed heinous crimes?
Chen Yuan stood in front of the map of the entire Zhuo County and thought.
If we continue to go north, we will definitely alarm the county.
Killing a few powerful landlords will also alarm the county.
It's all a shock anyway, so it's better to go north and kill people at the same time.
Isn’t this the characteristic of the Yellow Turban?
Of course, it is enough to bluff by raising the Yellow Turban flag, but you must not get close to the county seat, otherwise Zhang Fei will risk being exposed.
In fact, the 10,000-strong army led by Zhang Fei at this time has already been known to the county. However, because the flag was not raised, the county-city did not know the origin of the 10,000-strong army, so they could only pay close attention to it and secretly
Guessed.
It's not that no one guessed that these people were Yellow Turbans, but Zhang Fei and the others did not fly any banners, and they specialized in killing bandits, even more so than the official army, which confused the people in the county and city.
Where did this army come from?
When Zhang Fei raised the Yellow Turban flag, there was no need to guess, and the people in the county were immediately shocked.
These aristocratic families can occupy Zhuojun, so they are certainly not fools.
Of course they could see the difference between these 10,000 Yellow Turbans and Cheng Yuanzhi's 50,000 Yellow Turbans.
To wipe out bandits is to win over the people's hearts. The purpose is huge and must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
But they are worried now. There are only 3,000 troops in the county and the training time is not long. They may not be able to eliminate these 10,000 Yellow Turbans.
Therefore, when Liu Yu summoned them to ask for countermeasures, they were blinded again.
Finally, someone couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "If it doesn't work, just let Liu Bei fight again."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.
It's easy to say, but hard to do.
Previously they blocked Liu Yu from giving Liu Bei an official position, but now they want him to sacrifice his life.
Putting aside the question of whether it is embarrassing or not, the key question is whether the person is willing or not?
What if someone doesn’t want to?
Can it be forced?
They learned about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's performance that day from the soldiers who came back. They were really anxious. Aren't they afraid of being beheaded in the middle of the night?
However, now only Liu Bei can defeat these ten thousand Yellow Turbans.
Therefore, people from many aristocratic families all looked at Liu Yu, and the meaning was obvious, what do you think we should do, Grand Administrator?
Liu Yu gave these people a cold look, filled with contempt in his heart.
However, despite his contempt, he also knew that if he wanted to maintain the stability of Zhuojun and even Youzhou, he could not do without the support of these aristocratic families.
Liu Yu said: "Allowing Liu Bei to fight is one way, but it has to be given a name, otherwise I'm afraid it will be unknown."
At this time, Lu Ding still wanted to prevent Liu Bei from obtaining an official position.
Lu Ding said: "The prince is just a leader of the volunteer army. He only needs orders from the government. How dare he disobey?"
Zou Jing sneered: "Captain Lu has such great authority. In this case, why not let Commander Lu announce the government's orders?"
When Lu Ding heard this, his expression tightened.
Are you kidding, let him announce the order?
You know, he has a grudge against Liu Bei. What if he is killed?
Therefore, Lu Ding shook his head: "Liu Bei is just a mere Liu Bei, and I don't need this county lieutenant to issue an order."
Liu Yu's patience was exhausted at this time: "Okay, I want to make Liu Bei the captain of Polu. Do you have any objections?"
Lu Ding and others felt Liu Yu's impatience. If they objected again at this time, Liu Yu would never give them any room, and they would be in big trouble by then.
Therefore, Lu Ding and other aristocratic families only had to hold their noses and admit it.
Immediately, Liu Yu wrote the official appointment and dismissal order for Liu Bei to be the captain of the Polu School and handed it over to Zou Jing, asking him to announce it to Liu Bei.
To be honest, Liu Yu was a little embarrassed to face Liu Bei. Previously, he had defeated 50,000 Yellow Turbans without being promoted to an official, but now he had to be promoted to an official because he needed to defeat 10,000 Yellow Turbans. This was indeed unethical.
Therefore, Liu Yu asked Zou Jing to announce his appointment.
Zou Jing did not refuse, and immediately went straight to Zhang Fei's manor with the appointment and dismissal order.
Liu Bei was practicing martial arts in the manor at this time, when he heard that Zou Jing was coming.
My heart moved, and then a smile appeared on my face.
He knew that the fourth brother's strategy had worked, and it seemed that he had obtained his official position.
However, according to Chen Yuan's plan, just one official position is not enough. These Zhuojun families must be asked to provide money and food for raising soldiers, and they must be paid according to one thousand people.
Therefore, after Liu Bei tidied up, he met with Zou Jing in the main hall.
As soon as he saw Zou Jing, Liu Bei grabbed Zou Jing cordially and said, "Brother Zou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Xuande misses you very much. I must stay in the village without getting drunk or returning today."
Liu Bei acted completely like he didn't know anything and took Zou Jing to drink.
Zou Jing repeatedly declined: "Xuande, don't be in a hurry, let me read you the order of the Lord, how about we go have a drink?"
Liu Bei pretended to be surprised and said: "I am a poor commoner, how can the government give me orders?"
These words made Zou Jing blush.
To be honest, in this matter, the entire Zhuo County government did not act in an honest manner, and they were sorry for Liu Bei.
Now that we need people, we are rushing to grant them official positions. Anyone else would be ashamed.
Fortunately, Liu Bei did not hold on to it, but straightened his face, bowed and said to Zou Jing: "In that case, please announce the order of the emperor."
