Author: nonsense and gossip

The situation in Ye County is indeed bad.

It is located in the north of Nanyang County and borders the Central Plains. During the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang County was one of the areas hardest hit.

Later, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu came to Jingzhou to attack Wancheng and plundered some surrounding counties. Unfortunately, Ye County was also one of them.

Later, Zhang Ji died, and Liu Biao asked Zhang Xiu to stay north of Wancheng to guard Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu became the actual controller of the surrounding counties and cities, and he was not good to the people...

After he defected to Cao Cao in the north, this area became Cao Cao's power again. After the transfer of power, there was naturally a war and chaos, and the people were exploited again.

Until last year when Liu and Liu joined forces to welcome the emperor, Liu Bei took the people here to Duyang many times... The population of Ye County is now less than a quarter of its original size.

Forget it, after all, he brought many people over from Xuchang this time.

But...it's still a drop in the bucket.

In addition, this line of defense is actually quite large. With the almost 15,000 troops in his hands, it is actually impossible to completely defend it...

Liu Bei was an expert himself, so he naturally knew the situation, so... Xu Shu did not have to find a way out of this situation. As for what he said before, he was indeed serious, but after he said it... he found that it was hard to do it

It's really difficult.

"So, I have to ask my husband for advice."

Huang Yueying looked at Liu Bei's sincere eyes and listened to his sincere tone, "Why don't you wait a little longer?"

"ah?"

"The first batch of students from Xiangyang Academy have graduated, and brother Ju Wei and brother Dingyi are the best among them." Huang Yueying said, "To graduate, students must complete an article that can convince at least three points in the academy.

Second gentlemen."

Liu Bei was even more stunned, "This..."

"My lord, what A Chu means is that the two young masters who are coming to visit in a while may have a corresponding method." Xu Shu explained with a smile.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and looked at Huang Yueying, "Really?"

Huang Yueying just smiled and nodded, anyway... let's wait until they come.

She had read the graduation plans of Xiang Chong and Lu Deng. Since the two had good family backgrounds, their ideas were very grand and feasible. For the current Ye County, they happened to be the most suitable.

Another quarter of an hour later, the attendants led Xiang Chong and Lu Deng in.

"The magistrate of Ye County, Xiang Chong, whose courtesy name is Juwei, has met General Zuo."

"The county magistrate of Ye County, Lu Deng, whose courtesy name is Dingyi, has met General Zuo."

The two of them stood upright and saluted solemnly. They looked at Liu Bei on the main seat and felt very emotional in their hearts. Then looking at Huang Yueying sitting next to Liu Bei... they felt helpless.

"Hahaha, you two are really good!" Liu Bei stood up happily, ran over quickly, and grabbed each other with one hand, "You two gentlemen are talented, so they are not cheating!"

When the two heard this, they smiled bitterly and said, "General Zuo, please don't mention this matter!"

"That's right, you're going to shame me!"

"Hey..." Xu Shu didn't know why, so he asked, "What... happened?"

Xiang Chong and Lu Deng then looked at Huang Yueying, "Should we let A Chu speak?"

Seeing this, Huang Yueying knew that she had no choice but to come forward, so she briefly explained the matter, "I knew that the two brothers wanted to go north to serve as officials, so I thought it would be better for them to meet the Xuande Guild themselves... so I came out.

This is the last resort."

Xiang Chong and Lu Deng:???

No, that’s not what Achu told them in the beginning!

But this seems to be correct.

Achu is their close friend. Now that they want to go north to serve, they need to have official contacts with Liu Bei. Is Achu... testing Liu Bei's character for them?

"That's it!" Liu Bei believed it immediately and smiled bitterly, "The way you two dressed up just now really looks like you came from Xudu."

"Achu asked someone to help him do it." Xiang Chong explained.

"That's it!" Liu Bei understood immediately.

No wonder, he didn't see anything unusual about these two people at first.

Xu Shu next to him looked at Huang Yueying, testing his lord on behalf of Xiang Chong and Lu Deng? This somewhat embarrassed him.

Although Xiang Chong and Lu Deng were famous for their talents, he was confident that their talents were still inferior to his.

But these two young masters from aristocratic families wanted to test Liu Bei's character!

How could he not be angry?

"Please forgive me, Mr. Xuande, please forgive me, brother Yuanzhi." Seeing Xu Shu's reaction, Huang Yueying directly bowed her hands and apologized, her tone... extremely sincere.

Liu Bei kept saying, "Sir, don't do this!"

“Please forgive me, Mr. Xuande. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu.” Xiang Chong also apologized, “Mr.

"I also admire you." Lu Deng said the same.

The two of them truly admired Liu Bei, and they believed that Ye County would become better under Liu Bei's leadership.

Liu Bei hurriedly helped the three of them up, arranged their seats, and asked people to arrange wine and food. He sent someone to call Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and the others to come over, and then he sat back down in his seat.

When Xu Shu saw Liu Bei, he wasn't angry at all... His anger suddenly dissipated. The master was not angry at all. Why was he angry? But he felt a little helpless.

Then he looked at Lu Deng and the two of them, "I heard from A Chu that Ju Wei and Ding Yi just graduated from the academy this year?"

"Exactly." Xiang Chong saw Xu Shu with a smile in his eyes.

A Chu had already told them about Xu Shu's identity, and... A Chu said that this person had great talent.

He wanted to see how talented this person was.

"That's right." Lu Deng also had some inquiring thoughts in his eyes.

Liu Bei listened to Xiang Chong and Lu Deng's words, and also keenly sensed the meaning of Xu Shu's words, and quickly smoothed things over, "Yuan Zhi, Ju Wei, Ding Yi and Mr. Xiao came all the way from Xiangyang and traveled a long way. I'll wait for you later."

You should persuade them to have some drinks."

Xu Shu smiled and agreed, "My lord is absolutely right. Today... I am going to make them drunk."

"Drinking? Drunk? Why don't you call me Lao Zhang?" Zhang Fei walked into the main hall and happened to hear Xu Shu's words. When he saw Huang Yueying, he stepped forward happily, "Little sir, I dragged the trading company to replenish your health before.

Have you received those little game items?"

"Of course I received it." Huang Yueying smiled and nodded. She really helped him. "Thank you, General Zhang."

"You're welcome, you're welcome! I, Old Zhang, was also very happy about the snake spear you brought over!" Zhang Fei laughed.

He didn't expect that some game meat would be exchanged for a good weapon!

Naturally, he is even more enthusiastic towards Huang Yueying.

"That's good." Huang Yueying also smiled.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei came early, otherwise Xu Shu, Xiang Chong, Lu Deng and the others would have been at odds with each other right now!

Seeing this, Liu Bei introduced Lu Deng and Xiang Chong to Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei heard that these two people were close friends of Mr. Xiao, he became much more enthusiastic.

This made the two of them a little overwhelmed.

"It's hard for me, Lao Zhang, to have a drink! I'll make sure I don't get drunk later!"

Xu Shu laughed on the sidelines. It was good that Zhang Fei had vented his anger on Liu Bei.

Not long after, Mi Zhu and others also arrived. After another round of introductions and salutes, the reception banquet began.

Liu Bei raised the wine bottle and faced Huang Yueying and the others, "Today's reception banquet was prepared in a hurry. Please forgive me if the reception was not good."

Huang Yueying and the other three naturally raised the wine bottles together with the others. After hearing Liu Bei's words, they didn't even say anything, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Then, the atmosphere at the table became lively.
