Bao Xin and Zhuge Gui have been working well together these days.
Therefore, Bao Xin decided to cooperate with Zhuge Gui.
Of course, he didn't just cooperate, he actually didn't want to give Liu Bei and the others food and grass.
Because the more than a thousand soldiers he recruited this time are now being supported by Taishan County.
If it were given to Liu Bei, these more than a thousand soldiers would have to pay for the food themselves. Thank you.
Therefore, Bao Xin looked troubled: "Zhuge Juncheng, there is not much food in the city now, I am afraid that I will not be able to support Xuande."
Zhuge Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, Bao Xin understood what he meant.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhuge Gui to do it.
At this point, it’s natural to go with the flow.
"Xuande, Fei Gui is unwilling to give you food and grass. In fact, the food and grass in the city is limited, and we have to support the army and people in the city. Gui is powerless, so please forgive Xuande."
Liu Bei's emotional intelligence is naturally very high, and he understood what Zhuge Gui and Bao Xin meant after a little thought.
However, he wasn't angry either.
He could feel that Zhuge Gui had not deceived him.
Therefore, Liu Bei smiled heartily: "Brother Jungong, why did you say this? Bei is not that kind of domineering person. If Jungong can provide food and grass, Bei will naturally be grateful. If you don't have it, it's okay. Bei can think of a solution on his own."
."
When Zhuge Gui and Bao Xin saw what Liu Bei said, they couldn't help but have a good impression of Liu Bei.
Liu Xuande, a kind man.
At that moment, everyone stopped talking about food and grass and started talking happily.
Under Chen Yuan's instructions, Liu Bei gave full play to his personality charm, which made Bao Xin, Zhuge Gui, and Yu Jin feel the same way.
This person is available!
Chen Yuan is setting up an ambush.
Because these three people will be of great use in the future.
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Chen Yuan would have wanted to kidnap Zhuge Gui and Yu Jin.
One is the father of Zhuge Liang, a famous prime minister throughout the ages, and the other is one of the five great generals of Cao Wei. They are both great talents.
It's a pity that Liu Bei doesn't have a fixed territory now. He doesn't have enough confidence to recruit talents, and even if he recruits people, he doesn't have enough space for them to perform.
Therefore, we can only put our friendship here first, leave a good impression, and lay the foundation for future recruitment.
After coming out of the county magistrate's house, Liu Bei and others came to the government post house. Liu Bei called everyone together.
"Everyone, how should we prepare food now?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Chen Yuan.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan already had a plan at this time: "Brother, the fact that the Taishan County government has no food does not mean that Taishan County has no food."
Liu, Guan, and Zhang are not fools. When they heard what Chen Yuan said, the three of them immediately reacted.
"Zi Chu said, powerful?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "He is the powerful man in the county."
Liu Bei frowned slightly: "What Zichu said is true, but how can those powerful people supply us with food and grass?"
After experiencing what happened in Zhuojun, Liu Bei already knew the nature of powerful landlords.
Expecting them to be loyal to the country is almost like a dream.
From the perspective of powerful people, family, country and the world come first.
Home here refers to family.
Family interests come first.
Therefore, it would be too difficult for them to provide food and grass for themselves.
Chen Yuan smiled: "Brother, have you forgotten about Zhuojun?"
When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes gradually brightened.
Chen Yuan is right.
It’s absolutely possible to repeat the old story of Zhuojun again!
You know, at this time, Qu Shuai Zang Ba, the leader of Taishan Yellow Turban, was one of his own.
As long as he is allowed to besiege Taishan County again with more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans, the powerful landowners in the county will naturally not let Liu Bei's three thousand troops go.
But if you want Liu Bei to contribute, it's impossible without some blood.
The food and grass were naturally obtained, and then he acted with Zang Ba and asked him to send some of the less obedient Yellow Turbans to attack the city. After a few days of acting, he retreated to Mount Tai, killing two birds with one stone. Wouldn't it be nice!
Therefore, Liu Bei called his confidants and asked them to deliver a letter to Zang Ba.
As for whether we can see Zang Ba?
Of course, there is no need to worry about this. Liu Bei and Zang Ba have already made an appointment for a token.
At that moment, some of his confidants left for Mount Tai.
Guan Yu returned to the military camp to take charge, while Liu Bei, Chen Yuan and Zhang Fei stayed in the post house.
Liu Bei had already planned the Zhuojun story, while Zhuge Gui was discussing with Bao Xin and Yu Jin.
After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Gui asked Bao Xin: "Captain Bao, what do you think Liu Bei will do if he doesn't get food?"
No matter how you say it, Liu Bei also has 3,000 soldiers, and the story of Liu Bei defeating 50,000 Yellow Turbans in Youzhou has been spread. He has a strong reputation for bravery, so it is normal for Zhuge Gui to be worried.
Bao Xin understood Zhuge Gui's concerns, but he had a good impression of Liu Bei and felt that Liu Bei would not do anything extreme.
"Jungong, don't worry. I don't think Liu Xuande is a wild and rebellious person. He is kind and bright. Since he can't get food and grass from us, he will probably buy some food from the powerful people in the county and city. This place is not far from Beihai."
, that is to say, in just a few days, the food and fodder required by three thousand soldiers and horses will not be much, and the powerful people in the county will be enough to meet his needs."
Zhuge Gui nodded, Bao Xin was right.
Neither of them believed that Liu Bei didn't even have this little money. Food and fodder for three thousand people for a few days wouldn't cost much.
But they never thought of a question: since they can get food without spending money, why do they have to spend money?
Do you really think Liu Bei has too much money to spend?
In fact, Liu Bei was very poor.
Although he had the support of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Liu Bei still had to support the 20,000 to 30,000 Yellow Turbans in the Daxing Mountains. How could he have any extra money?
Not to mention a few days' worth of food and grass for three thousand people, Liu Bei didn't even have the money to buy a day's worth of food and grass.
Even if there is, Chen Yuan will not take it out.
Just kidding, why spend money when you can have sex for free?
To be honest, if it wasn't really inappropriate, Chen Yuan really wanted to use Zang Ba's hand to capture Taishan County. In that case, he could kidnap Zhuge Gui, Bao Xin, and Yu Jin.
Even if Bao Xin and Yu Jin couldn't be kidnapped, they could at least take Zhuge Gui away.
With Zhuge Gui, are you still afraid that the three Zhuge Liang brothers will run away?
Of course, this is just what Chen Yuan thought about.
If the Yellow Turbans were really allowed to capture Taishan County, life would surely be ruined.
Chen Yuan will never let the people of a city suffer for a few talents, and his conscience cannot bear it.
Because once Taishan County is captured, even Zang Ba will never be able to control these yellow scarf thieves, and there will definitely be rape and robbery.
If that's the case, Chen Yuan's crime would be huge.
Not to mention that Chen Yuan couldn't pass the test on his own, even Liu Bei would not agree.
So, let's just get some food and grass. If we can take the opportunity to extort some money or something, that would be even better.
Anyway, Chen Yuan made up his mind that these powerful men must shed some blood.
