Chapter 151

"That’s because you don’t know how bad this guy is. Oh my, my poor back!"

Bai Yuekui frowned.

"There is another problem now: the Huang Jin soldiers have poor discipline. Most of the tens of thousands of Huang Jin soldiers lingering in Taiyuan are ruffians, and they are disturbing the people."

Guan Hai felt a bit embarrassed; he couldn't control them either.

Liu Bei smiled.

"No matter, I have already thought of an excellent place for these people."

Everyone was stunned. Could it be that he wanted them to go to war? They might be fine in favorable conditions, but in adversity, they would likely scatter at the first sign of trouble.

Liu Bei pointed to the north of the map.

"Everyone, let us look further afield. North of Wuyuan Commandery and Yunzhong Commandery, there are vast grasslands where the Xiongnu, Western Xianbei, and Wuhuan people live."

Guo Jia’s eyes lit up.

"The Lord is wise! Let these ruffians go fight the Hu Ren; whatever they seize belongs to them. These people will naturally have a place to go, and it will also reduce the burden on the border!"

"After sending these ruffians away, those who remain will be the more obedient commoners."

Hearing Guo Jia’s explanation, everyone was filled with admiration.

"The Lord is truly far-sighted and can even expand the territory for our Great Han."

Liu Bei had the same idea: kill the Hu Ren men and seize the Hu Ren women, and the border would be peaceful for at least many years.

"I will personally lead these people to the border to settle them. Everyone, attend to your respective duties."

"Guo Fengxiao, Taishi Ziyi, Guan Hai, accompany me."

"Understood!"

Bai Yuekui returned to her small courtyard.

Liu Bei arrived as well.

"I still have some matters to discuss with you."

Bai Yuekui supported her back.

"You can't be serious. Even a donkey on a production team needs a rest."

"Why don't you go chat with Lady Zou or Lady Feng?"

Liu Bei wore an expression that asked what she was thinking.

"I have serious business with you!"

The live stream chat room was full of snarky comments.

"That big-eared thief is shameless!"

"Look at Miss Bai Yuekui; she looks swollen. She’s suffered a cruel fate!"

"Serious business, my foot! I know you too well!"

"Bai Yuekui, has your Miao saber been glued shut?"

"Speak."

Bai Yuekui rolled her eyes at Liu Bei.

"Changancheng may undergo a massive change. You must closely monitor the movements in Changancheng."

"Additionally, send people to infiltrate the Xiliang Army. I may need them later. No matter how much money it costs, this must be done well."

Seeing Liu Bei’s serious tone, Bai Yuekui said,

"Fine, I will go do it immediately!"

She then asked curiously,

"Since Changancheng may undergo a massive change, why are you still going to Wuyuan Commandery?"

Liu Bei closed the window.

Bai Yuekui??

"Sometimes, when a massive change begins, reacting immediately is not necessarily a good thing."

As Liu Bei spoke, he moved the items on Bai Yuekui’s table to other places.

Bai Yuekui’s heart trembled, and she cursed the system silently: why give Liu Bei such a powerful body!

Liu Bei pulled her onto the table to discuss the plan for Changancheng in detail.

The live stream screen went black instantly!

Naturally, this led to more frantic complaints from netizens!

Wuyuan Commandery,

established during the time of Emperor Wu of Han, with its seat at Jiuyuan City, the hometown of Lu Bu.

Wuyuan leaned against the Yin Mountains to the north and faced the Yellow River to the south, controlling the south and checking the north; its strategic position was especially important.

"The Chile River, beneath the Yin Mountains... the wind blows, the grass bends, and sheep and cattle appear!"

From this, one can see how lush the water and grass are here.

"Brother-in-law, it’s so beautiful here!"

Zhen Mi looked at the boundless grassland with fascination.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Little Zhen Mi, how about we come here to live in seclusion in the future? I’ll herd the sheep, and you raise the children."

Zhen Mi blushed.

"That would be nice, but I’m afraid Lord Liu Xuande wouldn't have the time to come."

Liu Bei led the ruffians from the Huang Jin Army, escorted by Zhang Zhang Liao, and arrived at the foot of the Yin Mountains.

These ruffians had originally thought the environment here would be poor, but they discovered it was actually too good, and there were still many Xiongnu people to the north waiting to be robbed!

Liu Bei distributed weapons and horses to them, dividing them into over a dozen teams of several thousand people each.

"Go as far north as you can. The pastures and land you seize will be yours."

"I only have three requirements: leave no Xiongnu men alive; do not plunder our Great Han commoners; and you must not attack each other."

The Huang Jin ruffians accepted happily. The Lord was doing this for their sake—leaving Xiongnu men alive would just mean they’d compete for the women!

And if they robbed Great Han commoners, who would do business with them in the future?

Liu Bei did not expect that he would have such high prestige among the local residents of Wuyuan.

It turned out that Lu Bu was very famous in Jiuyuan and was called the Flying General; everyone thought Lu Bu was invincible, yet he had been beaten away by Lord Liu Xuande!

The border youths were bold and straightforward, admired the strong, and naturally held Liu Bei in high esteem, following his arrangements very obediently.

Zhang Zhang Liao sighed with emotion.

"Lord, the large Xiongnu tribes have been routed. With this arrangement, I’m afraid no Hu Ren tribe will rise again for many years."

"The border commoners can finally live in peace and contentment. The Lord is truly benevolent."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Zhang Liao on the shoulder.

"Zhang Wenyuan, why do I get the feeling you feel like a hero with no place to use your strength?"

Zhang Zhang Liao smiled embarrassedly.

"Lord, it’s time to take me back to Jinyang, isn't it?"

"You rascal!"

Liu Bei patted his shoulder. "Rest assured, you are a great general I rely upon!"

Zhang Zhang Liao quickly cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zhang Zhang Liao had also finished his "leveling up" on the grasslands.

Liu Bei looked at the cavalry behind Zhang Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Wenyuan, you must have put a lot of effort into this thousand-man elite force."

Zhang Zhang Liao said proudly,

"Lord, these thousand men are elites I selected from the border troops. They are proficient in assault and mounted archery, and they are no slouches in infantry combat on foot!"

Liu Bei nodded; he hoped Sun Quan would have the chance to experience it.

Liu Bei had finished listening to the reports from Han Hao, Shi Shi Guangyuan, and others, and was just drinking and enjoying himself with everyone,
