In May 189 AD, the news spread to the plains that Emperor Liu Hong had passed away and Liu Bian had succeeded him as emperor. Liu Bei was filled with sorrow and joy.
In August 189 AD, the news that General He Jin was killed and all the eunuchs were killed spread to the plains. Liu Bei was very happy. However, the news that Emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie fled Luoyang made Liu Bei worried.
In September 189 AD, the news that Dong Zhuo had found Emperor Liu Bian from Beiman Mountain and escorted him to Luoyang spread to the plains. Liu Bei was extremely happy.
In October 189 AD, news spread to Pingyuan that Dong Zhuo deposed Emperor Liu Bian and installed King Chenliu Liu Xie as emperor. Liu Bei was shocked.
In less than half a year, three emperors of Han Dynasty were replaced. It’s strange that the world is not in chaos!
Liu Bei, who has the qualities of a hero, is naturally more able to think of this.
After the autumn plowing in Pingyuan County ended, the 35,000 dendrobium grains that Liu Bei had previously captured were almost eaten by the newly harvested 30,000 people. He must do everything possible to get grains, otherwise all the previous work will be wasted.
Chen Meng came to Liu Bei extremely frustrated and said to Liu Bei dejectedly:
"Brother, the food can only last ten days."
"I know."
Seeing Liu Bei's natural look and listening to Liu Bei's calm tone, Chen Meng seemed to understand something.
"Does Brother already have a solution?"
"Don't worry. Let's wait for one person until that person arrives."
Not long after, Jian Yong walked in quickly, came to Liu Bei's side, lay down, and then said to Liu Bei:
"My lord, the matter has been settled. Prime Minister Pingyuan has agreed to my lord's request to send troops."
After Chen Meng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Send troops? Send what troops?"
"Encirclement and suppression of rebels!" Jian Yong said with surprise.
Judging from Jian Yong's expression, he seemed to be very surprised that Chen Meng didn't know about sending troops.
"Don't you know about sending troops for business?"
"Haha! The fourth brother has been thinking about the Liu family's wife these days. It's normal not to know. Haha."
Seeing Liu Bei's happy look, Chen Meng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
His third brother, Zhang Fei, got married a month ago. All three brothers have already gotten married, so naturally Chen Meng will not wait any longer. After all, a delicate and wifeless woman is in front of him every day, how can he see it?
Come on, Chen Meng is also anxious!
Therefore, these days, Chen Meng basically spent all his thoughts on preparing for the wedding ceremony with Liu Yingmai.
"Hey! Beauty can harm people!"
After a while, Chen Meng returned to his normal expression, and then said to Liu Bei:
"Brother is preparing to encircle and suppress the rebels in other counties in Pingyuan Country?"
There have been no rebels in Pingyuan County for a long time. Since Liu Bei sent troops, they must not be fighting in Pingyuan County. Moreover, there is no news that rebels from other places are going to attack Pingyuan County during this period.
The food obtained from the previous suppression of the rebels will soon be used up. Food must be found as soon as possible, otherwise God knows what those 30,000 people will do. Although the autumn harvest is completed now, the food harvested is not for these 30,000 people.
prepared.
Apart from that, the only places where food can be found are at the anti-thief offices in other counties within the plains.
"The fourth brother is indeed the fourth brother. I thought of it right away. Xianhe, you lost this time!"
"My lord still knows his business, so Yong Zi has to admit defeat!"
Chen Meng couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard what the two said. These two people were betting on themselves!
Liu Bei smiled, apparently very satisfied with his knowledge of people.
"Haha! I just asked Xianhe to go to Prime Minister Pingyuan to request a troop dispatch document, so that we have a basis for dispatching troops."
"After all, the purpose of sending troops this time is to suppress bandits in other counties. With the support of Prime Minister Pingyuan, officials from other counties must not dare to stop it."
"Now if we want to get food, the only way is to encircle and suppress the rebels in other counties."
"The chaos is coming, and now we need to be more prepared."
"..."
Liu Bei was about to speak when Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu walked in.
"Brother, please call the four of us here together. There must be a battle to fight!" Zhang Fei was the first to speak after entering the room.
"My lord, hurry up and give Yide a chance to fight! These days, Yide has nothing to do because he is itching all over! So he often comes to me and Guorang to discuss, but it is a big hassle for both of us.
Ah!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he laughed a few times and was not angry because Zhang Fei asked him to compete with Tian Yu in martial arts.
Several other people in the room couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"The third brother is just anxious. Why don't the eldest brother call us over today? I think there must be a battle to fight." Guan Yu said.
Now among these people, the only ones who can control Zhang Fei are Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Zhang Fei also listens to Chen Meng's words. But when Zhang Fei listens to Liu Bei and Guan Yu's words, it is more of respect, and
When listening to Chen Meng's words, it is more of a kind of love.
"Yes, my lord asked the four of us to come together. There must be something important to do." Tian Yu said.
While these four people were talking, they kept looking at them intently. The more they looked at them, the more they liked them. The more they looked at them, the more they liked them.
"Haha! What Guorang said makes sense. I called the four of you here today. There is indeed something important to entrust to the four of you."
"Prime Minister Pingyuan has given us permission to go to other counties in Pingyuan to suppress bandits."
As soon as Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Tian Yu couldn't help but cheered up when they heard it, and they all cheered.
After waiting for a moment, Liu Bei continued:
"Yunchang, Guorang, you two will each lead your troops and go to Gaotang County to suppress the bandits first, and then go to Luoyin County to suppress the bandits."
"Yide, Zilong, each of you will lead your troops and go to Ande County to suppress the bandits, and then go to Li Kingdom to suppress the bandits."
"Xianhe, in the past few days, you have organized many men in good health to be ready to go to Gaotang County and Ande County to carry food as soon as possible."
"No." The five people responded in unison.
Suppression of bandits is all too familiar to these people. When rushing from Yingchuan to Julu, we suppressed bandits in Yanzhou, suppressed bandits in Anxi County, suppressed bandits in Youzhou, and suppressed bandits in Pingyuan County.
In the past few years, it can be said that these people have spent their time fighting bandits. They are very familiar with bandit suppression.
Everyone in the room was very happy at this time, but Chen Meng was a little lonely because his eldest brother didn't arrange anything for him to do.
"Brother, where am I?" Chen Meng stood up and said hurriedly.
"You..."
Chen Meng looked at Liu Bei with a look of expectation on his face.
"You should continue preparing for the wedding with my eldest brother's daughter! When these uncles come back from the war, they will be able to drink your wedding wine. Isn't it beautiful that we have a double wedding? Haha!"
"Yes, yes."
"That's right, that's right."
Others agreed one after another.
"Haha! I just finished drinking Yide's wedding wine, and now I have to drink the business wedding wine again. Wonderful, really wonderful!" Jian Yong said while lying down, shaking his head.
