It is said that Liu Xin summoned many retainers and generals from Luyin Township to serve as officials in Changli County, which made many people in Zhuo County envious. Liu Xin had already gained momentum. Liu Qi, the governor of Zhuo County, also wanted to return to Zhuo County.

Visiting Liu's mother at Qilin Villa, no one in Yannan knew that Liu Xin was up now.

Liu Xin did not follow Liu Yu's instructions to attack the Wuhuan tribe in Liaodong this year. Instead, he reported to the other party that he needed to prepare. Xiandu County had no food to clear out Zhang Chun's rebels, which could not be done without an army of more than 50,000. Liu Yu knew that he was telling the truth.

He didn't urge him any more, and watched Liu Xin appoint the officials of Changli County without paying any attention to him.

Liu Xin knows the current situation of the Han Dynasty better than anyone else. Not to mention that he appointed Liu Yu, the county official, and there is nothing he can do to him. Even if the court knows the most, it can only pretend not to know. The court itself is in a lot of troubles. As long as Liu Xin doesn't shout

Without the rule of the Han Dynasty, they would not do anything to Liu Xin. Things in northern Youzhou were already troublesome enough.

Many aristocratic families in Youzhou suddenly discovered that Liu Xin had become the most powerful force in the entire Youzhou. Even Liu Yu was extremely afraid of him. Some aristocratic families began to consider whether they should seek refuge with Liu Xin. More and more heads of aristocratic families visited Qilin Villa.

Many heroes even came to Zhuoxian with their families to seek refuge at Qilin Villa. Liu Xin's reputation in Youzhou rose sharply for a time.

Anxi County experienced a special struggle in September. Three thousand refugees from Zhuo County led by Liu Bei planted tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land outside Anxi County with grain. He exchanged war horses for grain seeds from Liu Xin's stronghold.

He led the people to farm hard for half a year. In August, after Zhang Ju was killed by his men and his head was sent to the court, the whole Jizhou began to slowly return to normal, and many people in Anxi County who had fled returned to their homes again.

When these people saw that their land had been cultivated by others, they began to quarrel with the refugees from Zhuo County. The matter reached the head of Anxi County. Naturally, the head of Anxi County had his heart set on the original Anxi people.

With the land deed, who asked you to grow food in other people's land?

Liu Bei was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He went to the county magistrate to argue, but it was of no use. The people of Zhuo County saw that their fields had been taken away, and Liu Bei no longer had much money to feed them, so they began to return to Zhuo County one by one. They

I'm going home too...

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also angry. The wealthy families in Anxi County who had been very close to them suddenly changed their faces when they saw that Zhang Chun had been executed, and they all turned to the county magistrate. After all, the magistrate was from a wealthy family. Although Liu Bei

He was the queen of Zhongshan King Jing, but he had no one in the officialdom. His original contribution became nothing in September. Seeing that the farmland outside the city was being harvested by the people of Anxi County who came back, Zhang Fei was so angry that he wanted to destroy Anxi County.

Long kill.

"Brother, almost all the people in Zhuo County outside the city have left. We originally thought that everything would be fine when we waited for the autumn harvest, but now not a single grain of grain belongs to us.

The last two hundred horses were sold to buy grain a few days ago, and now we have nothing but 1,500 Wuhuan cavalry without horses!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei's manor and said to him sadly.

Liu Bei's face was full of sorrow. In the past few days, he had visited several wealthy families in Anxi County, but they either disappeared or comforted him to obey the orders of the county magistrate and not to confront the magistrate!

Liu Bei went to Ding County to look for the new governor of the Zhongshan Kingdom, but he never met him. The biggest problem before them now is that the three brothers helped Anxi County to quell the bandits, but they all raised the soldiers themselves.

.Liu Bei has no right to collect taxes. If he wants to continue to stay here, he can only raise food by himself, which is to rob ordinary people.

It stands to reason that the food of the people outside the city belongs to Liu Bei himself, but Liu Bei cannot convince himself to take action against them. Instead, he continues to help the people who can help as usual. This makes his reputation for benevolence and righteousness more prosperous, and the pressure on him becomes greater.

.

Now Liu Bei can no longer bear such a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, because his soldiers have no food to eat. If he doesn't think of a way, the soldiers will really blow up the camp.

"I have already gone to the Lvyin Township stronghold in the morning, and the person in charge has stopped giving us a grain of food.

The families inside and outside the city are also unwilling to give us food. I am an official appointed by Liu Yu, and now Liu Yu has gone to Youzhou to be the state shepherd. In this national crisis in Zhongshan, there is no place for us." Liu Bei said.

"Brother, let's just go to the city and rob those big households. I waited outside the city to clear out the bandits and protect the peace of the area, but these big households stayed in the city for safety. In the end, all the food we grew was taken away from the people.

"You want me to say that the people of Anxi County are also stupid, can't they see who treats them well?" Zhang Fei said angrily.

Zhang Fei said this, but Liu Bei would not do it no matter what. As Prince Jing of Zhongshan, it was natural for him to pay for the people, but there was absolutely no possibility of snatching food from the people. Just when Liu Bei was at a loss.

, suddenly heard a call from the county magistrate in the city.

The Zhongshan Capital Post has arrived in Anxi County, and the county magistrate is personally entertaining them in the city. As the second official in Anxi County besides the county magistrate, Liu Bei must also meet them.

Asking Guan Yu to watch Zhang Fei not to punish the soldiers casually, Liu Bei put on his worn brocade robe and left the manor, riding a horse to the county government office in the city.

After entering Anxi County, it was much busier than before. Several of Liu Bei's shops in the city were no longer there. He had no money to buy goods so he bought grain from Liu Xin's stronghold. Looking at the people in the city, he saw that he had no money.

They seemed to be filled with guilt for their previous enthusiasm.

When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, Liu Bei asked the guards to lead his horse down. He smoothed his collar and felt that it would not be rude, and then entered the county government office.

All the way to the backyard, Liu Bei heard the county magistrate and a man talking and laughing in the distance. He came to the door of the hall and coughed, and the sounds inside suddenly stopped.

"Liu Bei has met the county magistrate and Lord Duyou!" Liu Bei walked in and lowered his body to the lowest position. He wanted to try his best to leave a good impression on Duyou.

You must know that the results of the inspection of the official capital post in this first year are very important. It can be said that Liu Bei has done very well as the county captain of Anxi County, and he is eager to be recognized by the court.

"snort!"

County Magistrate Anxi glanced at Liu Bei and snorted coldly. Ever since Liu Bei lived outside the city and refused to enter the city, and privately set up an office to deal with disputes among the people outside the city, he had no good impression of Liu Bei. Now that he has finally turned the situation around, how could this happen?
