Chapter 339

Bai Yuekui was feeling a bit down, so Liu Bei naturally provided her with several sessions of mental counseling, finally adjusting her mood.

Half a month later,

Liu Bei took in the long-awaited Lady Dong and found that she was indeed excellent. No wonder she was even more favored than Fu Shou; she had an interesting soul.

Lady Dong also quickly hit it off with Lady Zou and Dong Bai, earnestly learning advanced techniques; she was a talent worth cultivating and had great musical talent.

Production and life in the Jingzhao region also began to recover.

Chang'an City was twice as prosperous as it had been during the reign of Emperor Ling.

Liu Bei sent Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, and others to strike at the Qiang forces, and the public security in Fufeng Commandery improved significantly.

The people of Jingzhao and Bingzhou had a very good New Year.

Peace!

There was grain!

And there was meat!

The vast grasslands in northern Bingzhou continuously imported meat, and the prices were cheap, allowing everyone to live a good life with meat to eat.

Inside the room, it was as warm as spring.

Lady Dong pulled Liu Bei's hand to a warm place to keep it warm while humming a little tune.

"Husband, is this okay?"

Liu Bei squinted his eyes, looking very comfortable.

"Yes, that is excellent."

To repay her savior, Lady Dong used all her skills to make Liu Bei feel waves of warmth in this cold winter.

Her fate had also been changed by Liu Bei; she was no longer five months pregnant and killed by Cao Cao.

Over the next few months,

The entire Bingzhou and Sili regions were in a scene of busyness.

A year's plan starts in spring; spring plowing is incredibly important.

Liu Bei took Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and others to inspect the spring plowing in Feng Yi, Hedong, Taiyuan, and other commanderies before returning to Chang'an.

Fa Zheng organized the information from various places.

"My lord, many Sons of Heaven have appeared across the Han lands now. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Zhang in Shu, and others have all put forward their own Sons of Heaven."

Xun You cupped his hands.

"My lord, these warlords are actually all acting for their own interests. We haven't seen them wanting to avenge the Emperor. Now, one by one, they are supporting new Sons of Heaven, wanting to hold the Son of Heaven to command the warlords!"

Liu Bei nodded; Sons of Heaven were popping up like bamboo shoots after rain!

He looked at everyone.

"What do you all think?"

Sun Qian cupped his hands.

"My lord, why don't we also support a Son of Heaven?"

Jia Xu arched his hands.

"My lord, when there are too many Sons of Heaven, there is no Son of Heaven. Now, none of them are legitimate; the name is not right and the words are not smooth. It would be better to concentrate on development."

Guo Jia also cupped his hands.

"My lord, our army now sits on the land of two provinces. If we want to develop peacefully and watch the warlords of Guandong fight, we must resolve our worries in the rear."

Everyone looked at the map of Liangzhou.

Liu Bei nodded.

"The matter of the Son of Heaven can be discussed later. When the time is ripe, we will recommend an Emperor with both virtue and talent."

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, you are from Liangzhou; analyze the situation in Liangzhou for us."

Jia Xu paused.

"Liangzhou is inhabited by both Han and Qiang people, and the folk customs are fierce; even women can hold halberds. There are over four hundred thousand Han people and over four million Qiang people. If one continues west to the Western Regions, the Qiang population could even reach ten million."

Everyone gasped; there were truly too many Qiang people.

Ju Shou sighed with emotion.

"No wonder our Great Han spent so many years and couldn't solve the northwestern troubles; the population is simply too large."

Guo Jia also nodded.

"Our Great Han spent huge sums of money, not only failing to solve the Qiang rebellion but also fattening up Dong Zhuo. Only Duan Jiong temporarily solved part of the Qiang problem for our Great Han."

Liu Bei suddenly smiled.

"Wenhe, aren't you Duan Jiong's grandson? Do you have anything to say?"

Everyone looked over; they didn't expect Old Jia to have such a background! Awesome!

Jia Xu couldn't help but blush.

"My lord, don't make fun of me. Back then, when I encountered Qiang bandits, I just used Grand Marshal Duan to scare those Qiang people."

Liu Bei laughed.

"It's clear that Duan Jiong has a very high reputation among the Qiang people."

Jia Xu nodded.

"My lord's words are very true. Now there are several major forces in Liangzhou: Ma Teng, Han Sui, various Qiang tribes..."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui have a deep bond, having become brothers and mutually defending each other; it is very difficult to break them..."

After Jia Xu's analysis,

Guo Jia suddenly cupped his hands.

"If we want to occupy Liangzhou, it will require my lord to work a little harder!"

Liu Bei:??
