Chapter 207

"Yuan Shao's little expression, I've already taken a screenshot, a big 'Jiong' character!"

"Haha, laughing to death!"

"Why isn't the 1.5-meter fierce general Honda Tadakatsu from the dwarf country coming up? It's the time to save face, don't be cowardly!"

"The Big-Eared Thief is too fierce now, seconds everything!"

The melon-eating citizens on the city wall of Yecheng were also pointing and gesturing.

"Go, too strong!"

"Lord Xuande is mighty!"

"Yuan Shao was beaten until he didn't dare to speak."

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou, unparalleled generals? I spit!"

A little girl in her teens pulled her sister's hand and worshipped,

"Sister, that is Liu Xuande who shakes the Nine Provinces. So powerful, his demeanor is too dazzling!"

"Sister, if you marry, you must marry such a great hero, with amazing martial arts, full of wisdom, yet caring for the commoners!"

The little girl's skin was like congealed fat, her features were extremely beautiful, and her eyes were agile and clear. She would definitely be a super beauty in the future!

Her sister looked 80-90% like her, and was also extremely beautiful, tall, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

"Little sister, keep your voice down, don't be so unreserved as a little girl!"

The little girl was Zhen Mi, and the other was her sister Zhen Jiang. The two happened to be visiting relatives in Yecheng with their family. Seeing the excitement, they hurriedly went up to the city wall.

Zhen Jiang looked at Liu Bei's figure in the distance with some confusion.

"Such a great hero..."

Zhen Mi's beautiful eyeballs turned.

"Sister, why don't you marry Lord Xuande? That way I can talk to him, and I can also learn from the great Cai."

Zhen Jiang's mouth twitched.

"I thank you, your sister's role is to build a bridge for you?!"

"Little sister, take a beating!"

"Oh, sister, spare my life!"

In the field, Yuan Shao was amiable.

"Xuande, Han Fu wants to yield Jizhou to me, I have no choice either."

Liu Bei's mouth twitched. The two sons of the Yuan family were truly shameless to the extreme!

Liu Bei smiled.

"Then I want to congratulate Brother Benchu. Jizhou is the head of the Nine Provinces of the world, much stronger than my Bingzhou."

Yuan Shao's expression was a bit sad.

"Unfortunately, the Emperor is still in the hands of the old thief Dong Zhuo. After I train my troops in Jizhou, we will all go to attack Dong Zhuo and save the Emperor together."

Liu Bei couldn't listen anymore.

"Brother Benchu, I heard you intend to enthrone Liu Yu as Emperor?"

Yuan Shao was about to say a string of beautiful words, but was choked!

"This Liu Bei chatted the conversation to death!"

Liu Bei didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.

"Brother Benchu, Han Fu intends to return to Taiyuan with me to teach and educate people at Taiyuan Academy. Please make it convenient."

Yuan Shao was happy. Fortunately, Liu Bei didn't want to seize Jizhou, otherwise they would have to fight for a long time.

"Alas, I wanted to appoint Han Fu as General of Fenwu, but since his ambition is not here, so be it."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Brother Benchu, my Bingzhou is extremely short of grain, and Jizhou has abundant grain. Please lend me some."

Yuan Shao... Borrowing again?!

He coughed, "Xuande, Jizhou has gone through the Huang Jin Rebellion and is not well-off either. How about I lend you 50,000 shi?"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly,

"Alliance Leader, are you sending away a beggar? Big Brother, Jizhou is so good, why don't we let the people of Bingzhou come here to eat and live!"

Yuan Shao's mouth twitched.

"Xuande, 200,000 shi, no more."

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader. Plus the 80,000 shi the Alliance Leader promised before, and the 150,000 shi Inspector Han promised, adding them up, it's 450,000 shi in total. I thank the Alliance Leader here!"

Yuan Shao?? This number seems to have something wrong! Who taught Liu Bei arithmetic?!

"No wonder selling straw sandals can make a fortune!"

Yuan Shao shook his head. Forget it, just treat it as sending away a plague god.

Gongsun Zan over there is still waiting to divide Jizhou. Sending Liu Bei away is the only way to deal with Gongsun Zan with peace of mind!

"Hmph, Big-Eared Thief, wait until I control Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, then you will have a hard time."

Yuan Shao secretly set a flag!

The matter was settled like this.

Next was dividing the family, dividing the family property, and moving.

Han Fu's family of dozens of people actually packed dozens of carts. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, Jizhou is indeed wealthy!

Ju Shou's family also had dozens of people, all moving to Bingzhou this time, but there were very few valuables.

Zhang He's relatives were even fewer.

Han Fu's attendants Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan also led ten thousand soldiers who could draw hard bows back to Yecheng.

Liu Bei let the soldiers choose for themselves. In the end, over four thousand people were willing to go to Bingzhou. They were all bachelors who heard that Bingzhou won battles, distributed fields, and distributed women, so they were naturally willing to go!

Liu Bei divided the soldiers into three parts and assigned them to Chen Dao, Zhang He, and Ju Yi to lead.

Ju Yi secretly thanked Liu Bei for his trust!

Hebei Zhen family, Yecheng mansion,

Several major families in Jizhou gathered together to drink and chat with Liu Bei.

"Lord Xuande, I didn't expect that in the short half year since I parted with you in Taiyuan, Lord Xuande has become famous throughout the world!"

Zhen Yao sighed and was greatly moved.

At the beginning, he obtained huge profits through trade with Liu Bei, horses, and grain, and talked with Liu Bei, feeling that Liu Bei was a person worth associating with.

Yet he didn't expect that in half a year, Liu Bei would rise to fame, shake the Nine Provinces, and even Yuan Shao would not dare to confront him head-on.

Liu Bei raised his cup.

"Brother Zhen is not bad either. Now your business is almost all over the world, right?"

Zhen Yao hurriedly indicated that he was far behind Lord Xuande.

Zhen Yan, the second son of the Zhen family on the side, was a bit dismissive.

He thought to himself,

"Liu Bei is indeed a hero of the world, but Jizhou will be Yuan Shao's world in the future. Why does Third Brother admire Liu Bei so much?"

Yuan Shao has also already contacted Zhen Yan, appointing him as a clerk in the Inspector's office.

After Liu Bei finished drinking with the two, he already knew their situation.

Zhen Yao admired him very much and wanted to build a good relationship with him.

Zhen Yan, however, wanted to defect to Yuan Shao and looked favorably upon his high status as a high official for four generations.

In the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, wars were frequent. Whether fighting or governing the country, the word "money" could not be bypassed.

Recruiting soldiers costs money, supporting soldiers costs grain and pay, and the consumption of war is an astronomical figure.

At this time, there were five merchant families as wealthy as a country, namely the Mi family of Xuzhou, the Zhen family of Hebei, the Lu family of Yangzhou, the Ma family of Jingzhou, and the Qin family of Xichuan.

The most famous were the first three. The Mi family and the Zhen family went without saying.

There was also Lu Su's family. Once Zhou Yu went to Lu Su to borrow some grain, Lu Su gave him a granary directly, and the aura of a local tyrant completely shocked Zhou Lang!

Cao Cao had no big merchants within his borders, so he took a different path, setting up the "Faqiu Zhonglangjiang" and "Mojin Captain" to specialize in grave robbing.

Perhaps this behavior shortened his life, and many of the Cao family's descendants died young.

Cao Cao himself lived to be sixty-five, while Cao Pi and Cao Rui only lived to be about thirty-five, and finally Sima Yi picked the peach. ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
