Guan Yu said worriedly: "If the output of this thing is really high and the people's hearts are certain, the Lu family will have a firm foothold in Xuzhou. There will never be another person in this border area to the east." Liu Bei wanted to take root in Guangling.

Difficult.

In this era, with such prestige and grain production, Lu Bu would be worshiped like a god, and even those who were rising to the top would be able to hold him in high esteem.

Nowadays, even the wealthy families of Xuzhou have resigned themselves to their fate. Not to mention the common people. The world is in chaos. What do the common people know? Who gives them land, grains, and sweat in exchange for a full belly? They can contribute enough loyalty and loyalty.

Support.

Moreover, what Xuzhou has done, in terms of education, has been to support poor people. Even ordinary people can take a vocational exam and then become a petty official or something based on their ability.

Craftsmen are also rewarded for their outstanding contributions. This is a great stimulus for the people. Today, Xuzhou is like a valley bottom, and people are flowing in like water. In the future, this will become a huge trend.

Elsewhere, there are more and more people fleeing their households, and the population is insufficient, which will become a huge gap.

What are Lu Bu and his daughter doing? They are forcing the big families to hand over the annexed land so that more refugees can be resettled.

This shows that the Lu family knows that its foundation is not in the big family, but in these real foundations.

And one day, he will need more land to realize his ideals, to conquer the world, and to settle more civilians. Xuzhou's official examination system allows even slaves to be promoted exceptionally. As long as you have enough skills, you can

Then you can rise up and become the cornerstone of the Lu family.

Troubled times are the worst times, but they are also times when a new order can be re-established.

All the details were reorganized, and then slowly became stronger and stronger.

Even Guan Yu, a general, is increasingly aware of Xuzhou's strength, and it continues to grow.

What Guan Yu can figure out, how can Liu Bei not figure it out?! But the problem is, even if there are good grains, where do these grains come from!

"Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have always attached great importance to farming. If Lu Bu has this kind of grain, if it is harvested this year or next year and spread to the world, who can fight with it?!" Liu Bei murmured, suddenly losing his appetite.

Who can match such prestige? What about the slaves of the three surnames?! Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors all valued farming and mulberry and did it themselves.

The history of the Central Plains is the history of agriculture, the civilization of taxation comes from this, and the foundation of the country comes from agricultural taxation.

And Lu Bu is good at fighting. Although the world looks down on him, there are countless people who believe in him and countless admirers. If there is the blessing of farming, who knows what kind of development Xuzhou will develop?!

Lu Bu used to be just a strong insect, and he couldn't fly after all. If next year, he can do this, he will fly and turn into a dragon, a real dragon. Although the matter of grain cultivation has nothing to do with him, if you ask Lu Bu, I'm afraid it will

I don’t know if I ask three questions.

If you mount your horse, you can fight well; if you dismount, you can farm and study.

Liu Bei's heart suddenly became heavy.

"The turning point comes in Shouchun," Liu Bei said: "If we can't seize this opportunity, together with the Lu family, this place will be conquered by him. Even Guangling, I'm afraid it won't be a place to stay for a long time."

Guan Yu actually knew it in his heart.

Liu Bei said: "I have been thinking about the general trend of the world these days. If Lu Bu can be plotted in Shouchun, there may be another turning point in the world. If not, the rise of the Lu family will be unstoppable. Once the Lu family rises, Guangling will sooner or later

Being taken under his command is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Together with the Lu family, they will swallow up Huainan, go to Jingzhou, and confront Sun Ce across the river. Yuan Shao is strong in the north. If Cao and Lu cooperate with Yuan Shao, there will be male and female.

In the struggle, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao will have an overlord, Beiping. Then Sun Ce, Lu, and Bei... Where will we establish our foundation?!"

Guan Yu was speechless after hearing this.

"If God helps, then the Shouchun incident and Lu will be defeated. If Lu Zhen is resurrected by God, Bei will not be able to spend any time with the Lu family. I am afraid nothing will be accomplished..." Liu Bei said, "We still need to find another way out.

.It’s a pity that there is no news about Wolong yet. If we ask a sage to guide us, we may have other ideas..."

Guan Yu said: "Brother, Yu understands what you mean. Now it's too late to go to Lu to find someone else. If that doesn't work, I'll find another way to go..."

"That's right." Liu Bei sighed: "From now on, it just depends on God's will..."

Those who achieve great things are too late to take care of others and just listen to fate. If you have to be persistent, you can't give in. The attitude in this is just like when Han Xin was humiliated under the crotch. If he couldn't bear the humiliation at the moment, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

He will become the Han Xin later, and then, or this matter will never get over his heart, and he will always fight with these people who insulted him, he will not be the Han Xin later. The reason why Han Xin is Han Xin, he will always remember

No matter when the situation is strong or weak, how much ambition he has accumulated in his heart. For this ambition, how much is he willing to pay to reach the destination...

Liu Bei wanted to court Lu, but courting Lu was far from what he wanted, let alone the outcome he wanted in the end.

Liu Bei knew this very well.

For everyone who wants to achieve great things, it is an extremely valuable choice to distinguish between long-term aspirations and immediate goals and make a choice.

The pain for Liu Bei is that he has not yet found a long-term path to real development.

It is so similar to Han Xin's mentality that he was not allowed to be reused in Xiang Yu's camp.

"Brother, there is no need to worry," Guan Yu said, "Now we are just doing our best. If things really don't work out in the future, we can just avoid the Lu family and find another way out."

When Liu Bei thought that he was no longer young, he couldn't help but feel sad, but he suppressed it hard and went all the way to Shouchun.

The situation here is like a dynamite furnace.

However, who can guarantee that it will not explode?

However, Lu Xian was a very stable person. She was not in a hurry. She and Lu Bu even went hunting, horseback riding, and had fun. Even the camp was filled with laughter and arm-wrestling every day.

Otherwise, there is a ring, and people come up to fight every day. It seems that they are just here to set up camp and have fun.

As for Sun Ce, who had been asking the scouts to keep an eye on Lu Ying's movements. When he heard the scouts' reply, Sun Ce became very angry and said, "These father and daughter are really interesting. They are still having fun, how are you?!"<

/p>

Sun Ce narrowed his eyes.

Lu Su said: "The Lu family plans to spend a long time, but it seems that they are not in a hurry anymore. My lord, Lu Bu's temperament has changed drastically now, and he is far less impulsive than before. It may be difficult to make him make mistakes in a hurry."<

/p>

Sun Ce said: "There must be something to be done in Shouchun City, so we should try our best to find useful people inside."

Lu Su nodded and said: "Zhang Xiu hasn't replied yet, so I don't know what his plans are..."

"Zhang Xiu is wavering between Liu Biao and Ce, but Ce knows that he must turn against Liu Biao." Sun Ce said: "This old fox is very cunning, but he just refuses to express his opinion first..."

Lu Su said: "The Lu family's father and daughter have no good intentions and are only afraid of marrying Liu Biao."

Sun Ce actually knew something in his heart. Although he had not found out the real messenger or movement, Sun Ce had a good idea of ​​the current situation.

"Send a message to Gong Jin and tell him to keep an eye on Jiangxia. If there is any movement here, attack Jiangxia immediately. If the plan fails to capture Shouchun and the old nest of Jingzhou, you can also turn around and attack Lujiang immediately!" Sun Ce had already said!

There are three strategies of advance, middle and retreat. As long as you are a prince, if you can advance, you will advance. If you can't advance, you will take the middle. If you can't make the middle, you will retreat.

There is absolutely no reason to stare at Shouchun and fight to death.

Therefore, Sun Ce really knew what he was doing.

Lu Su agreed, and while sending a message to Zhou Yu, he was waiting quietly for Zhang Xiu's response, or maybe there was someone inside Shouchun who was scheming.

For the current matter, we can only act based on the situation and be fully prepared, instead of staying the same and adapting to changes.

And Guo Jia finally returned to Xudu, and Cao Cao personally came to greet him thirty miles outside Xudu.

Guo Jia was jealous, so he rode ahead and left the envoy team to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao burst into tears when he saw Guo Jia. He hugged Guo Jia's hand and said: "Follow me, serve me. If you fail to show your filial piety, you should do it."

What can I do?!"

"Lord..." Guo Jia wanted to kneel down, but Cao Cao refused. He helped him up, held his hands tightly, and said with his palms: "If you lose one battle, you will lose ten cities, but you cannot lose your filial piety."

Guo Jia was greatly moved and said with tears: "How can Jia be so virtuous? He is a prisoner's body, a soldier of the defeated army, but how can he be valued by the Lord? Even if Jia is killed, there is no way to repay him!"

The two masters and ministers burst into tears for a while. All the bystanders were in tears.

One said that he was guilty but not meritorious, and the other said that without filial piety, if you lose anything, it is like losing an arm or losing a heart. For a while, both of them were crying and everyone onlookers tried to persuade them.

In fact, as long as you are a soldier or a general, who would not want to get a wise master? The so-called wisdom is not only to reward meritorious deeds and to have clear rewards and punishments, but also to be able to get back once you are a prisoner or make a mistake.

Day.

Everyone saw how much Cao Cao put in for Guo Jia. While they were deeply moved, they also deeply admired Cao Cao's tolerance for others. They were all moved that they had found a true hero.

He immediately returned to the city. Once Guo Jia returned, Xudu's people were at ease.

Compared with the dispersion and disunity of the core personnel of Yuan Shu's camp, Cao Ying can be said to be as united as an iron bucket.

What a brilliant move.

For Cao Cao, although it was a strategy to win people's hearts, it also had sincere words. In the final analysis, Cao Cao would not leave Guo Jia because he could bring out counselors to resist Lu Ying or Yuan Ying.

, only Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun You are left.

Others, who either have a Han heart or are talented, are unwilling to give him advice. In the end, they will not be convinced and it is difficult to win over their hearts. In the end, they cannot force it. Because the emperor is in Xudu, and Xudu has countless talented people.

The odds are stacked. But to be honest, Cao Cao can count the ones he can trust, the ones he can truly rely on, the ones who can use great talents, with just one slap.

There used to be a Xun Yu, but he was eventually destroyed. Although his talent was that of a king, his heart could not be used by Cao Cao.

You can imagine how much Cao Cao relies on Guo Jia.

How could he not be happy that Guo Jia had finally come back after longing for it? He even ate with him and even washed up with him.

After finally having a meal, tea and soup, and washing up from the dust, they finally talked. Cao Cao first talked about the affairs of Xu Du and Yuan Shaoying in detail, and then asked Guo Jialu about the situation in the camp.

Things.

Guo Jia whispered: "New grain varieties appeared in Xuzhou, and there were several kinds. After the harvest, they were kept in the treasury. I don't know what they were, but I only heard that the yield was extremely high. It's a pity that Jia was unable to see the true appearance.

When Gao Shun was here earlier, he heavily guarded the treasury, and it is even more so now. The seeds seem to be rare, not many, so no one has eaten them yet, not even Lu Bu and his daughter. They have been kept in the treasury.
To be continued...
