Liu Bei was indeed burned to the ground by Jia Xu. Although he reluctantly accepted the 30,000 infantry in Nanyang County and the 8,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry as an ally in Nanyang, but Liu Bei's life was really difficult. Because of the shortage of soldiers and food, he had to allocate food and grass from Runan, Yuzhou to Nanyang County, but at this time Liu Bei's food and grass were also insufficient. The battle of Yangzhou was a huge attrition war. The grain and grass in Yangzhou were consumed by tens of thousands of stones, and the grain and grass in Yuzhou were not lost much. Even more was consumed because of the need to support Zhang Xiu's 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, so now Yuzhou is also in trouble.
"Who is this Jia Xu? How did I, Liu Bei, offend him? He even set fire to my Nanyang granary!" Liu Bei stayed at the prefect's mansion in Wancheng, Nanyang with a sad face. All the civil and military personnel, except those stationed in Runan, should have come, and even Sun Qian appeared inside.
"Report my lord, the fire in Nanyang has been extinguished!" A general next to him clasped his fists at Liu Bei. There was no clean spot on this general's body, and even his face was a little unclear. It stands to reason that he saw his own The lord can't be so rude, but Liu Bei didn't blame him, so he was responsible for extinguishing the Nanyang fire. The Nanyang fire burned for several days, and half of the sky was dyed red.
"Get up!" Liu Bei looked at this man with indescribable sadness, not because of the soldier's desperate efforts to put out the fire, but because of his food and grass in Nanyang. The more miserable the soldier is, the more serious the fire is. The bigger the gain, if the soldier enters with clean clothes. Then Liu Bei is happy. That means the fire is not big. It is easy to extinguish without the need for the general to play in person.
"Tell me how much I lost, I can still hold on!" Liu Bei rubbed his head, it was really painful.
"Loss, loss!" The general was a little afraid to say. I'm afraid that Liu Bei's anger will implicate him, the firefighter, and he will really become a fish in the pond.
The general did not dare to say anything and Liu Bei would ask, "How much is the loss? 50%? 60%? 70%?!" Liu Bei's tone became more dull every time he asked, because the general did not answer that it was more than that.
"How much is that? Eighty percent? Ninety percent? You mean it!" Suddenly Liu Bei, who is recognized as the deepest Liu in the city, couldn't bear the hypocrisy. On the body of this general. He directly smashed the general to bleed.
The red blood was in stark contrast to the black on his body, but the general did not dare to wipe away the blood, but knelt down in front of Liu Bei, tremblingly saying, "My lord, my lord, if you don't keep one out of ten, if you don't keep one out of ten!" One!" His tone of voice was full of tears.
"Ten do not save one!" Liu Bei felt that he was going to be dizzy. Liu Bei hadn't counted the amount of food and grass in Nanyang, but according to the records on the book of the wife's house, there were more than 200,000 food and grass and military pay. But now he was actually told that ten out of ten would save one, who would accept that. At the beginning Liu Mang was burned by a small turkey in Ruyin, Yuzhou, and his food and grass burned 20,000 shi. Now Liu Paopao has been burned by Jia Xu for more than 200,000 shi, which can make him vomit blood. of.
"Hoohoo!" Liu Bei gasped, he closed his eyes, he was calming down the news, a traitor is a traitor, even if his heart is full of anger, even if he wants to kill the general in front of him, it is because of people There is a factor of blaming and shirking responsibility in his subconscious mind. If he can't find Jia Xu, he will naturally blame the general for his failure to put out the fire. However, Liu Bei forcibly suppressed his desire to kill the general in front of him. This general will certainly make him feel much more comfortable, but Liu Bei will lose his benevolence and righteousness, and if Cao Cao handles such a matter, he will directly kill this general and give this general a firefighting disadvantage. To appease the anger of those soldiers. To appease the hearts of soldiers.
"Come and send him down to rest, and let the best doctor in the city heal him!" Liu Bei held back his anger and let the firefighting general get the prefect's mansion, and let him go back to heal his wounds.
"Jia Xu, Jia Xu, who are you? How did I, Liu Bei, and Liu Xuande offend you? You are going to treat me like this!" Liu Bei yelled in his heart. Nanyang's savings had already been wiped out. It is also impossible to get supplements from Nanyang.
Liu Bei was roaring but no one responded to Liu Bei's question, Jia Xu? This name was very unfamiliar before, no wonder, Jia Xu has always been very low-key, this is the case with Dong Zhuo, and it is the same with Li Jue and Guo Si. Dong Zhuo gave the position of Jiuqing, Li Jue and Guo Si He even wanted to give Jia Xu a ministerial order. These official positions were all rejected by Jia Xu. He was afraid of being hated by others. Instead of helping a master who might be ruined and spreading hatred everywhere, it would be better to be a low-key person, so Jia Xu's The reputation is not obvious.
And those who follow Jia Xu know that Jia Xu is only a few people, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Xiu are dead, and Hu Che'er also knows Jia Xu's ability, but he dare not say it, he can say it because he wants to I want Jia Xu to assist me to do it alone, but I am afraid that Jia Xu's ability is too strong to inform me, so I want to kill Jia Xu, but Jia Xu strikes first! In that case, even if Liu Bei thanked Hu Che'er for sending him to Nanyang, he might have to kill him, just like he killed Liu Pi back then.
And the ones who knew about Jia Xu were Lu Bu and Liu Mang, sons-in-law. Lu Bu had received a letter from Jia Xu, while Liu Mang only knew about it from Jia Xu's comments nearly two thousand years later. They would not tell Liu Bei about the existence of a poisoner.
Furthermore, it is Cao Cao. Cao Cao's impression of Jia Xu is that Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to him.
And Jia Xu's reputation in the world is that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, betraying his clan and abandoning his master. Such a villain needs people to remember him!
But I didn't expect that such a person would set fire to Nanyang, and all the food that would be burned in this fire would be in vain. But he, Liu Bei, has the capital to fight for hegemony in the world. Pang Tong was also thinking about Jia Xu. From Jia Xu being able to contact the Han Chinese cavalry to later robbing Zhang Lei and burning down the Nanyang granary is enough to prove that Jia Xu is not an ordinary person. How did people come out.
"My lord, the most urgent task now is not to think about who Jia Xu is, but to count food and grass. Our army in Nanyang needs food and grass to consume!" Pang Tong was thinking about who Jia Xu was. How to deal with it next time. He wanted to infer Jia Xu's style of doing things from Nanyang's behavior, but when he thought this way, he just ignored what Liu Bei wanted in front of him, and was told by Sun Gan next to him.
Sun Qian escaped from the dead and returned to Runan this time. He was also thinking about why he would be alienated by Liu Bei. That was because Sun Qian was not by Liu Bei's side, and another reason was that he was not Pang Tong when he came based on the military strategy. If Pang Tong can be regarded as a first-class strategist. Then his grandson can be regarded as a second-rate at best, and it would be self-defeating to compete with the enemy where the enemy is good at.
And what is Sun Qian good at? Civil affairs are internal affairs, and this is what Sun Qian is good at. Sun Qian can govern a county, which means that he has made great achievements in civil affairs. He can see now that what Liu Bei wants now is not this Jia Xu. Who needs people, but how to replenish the food and grass that was burned by Jia Xu? Sun Gan's words just touched Liu Bei's heart. What he wants is how to solve these food and grass problems.
You must know that although Nanyang said that the people are scarce, there are also many soldiers and horses, 30,000 infantry. There are also 8,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and these soldiers and horses all need food and grass. Moreover, Liu Bei has just taken over the tens of thousands of troops, so he, the new lord, naturally has to show a kind of magnanimity, and let them know that following this new lord is no worse than the original Zhang Xiu, and what is most likely to impress these soldiers Woolen cloth! Naturally, it was the food and salary. Now that Jia Xu has set him on fire, not to mention the salary, even food has become a problem.
"Gongyou is doing well!" Liu Bei's hypocrisy is that he is very good at managing favors. He is not as decisive as Cao Cao. He asks whatever he wants. Although he is less efficient, he can still make the soldiers under his command Thanks to Dade and thus swearing allegiance to the death.
"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. My lord, Hong Fu, is still alive!" Sun Qian said so and looked at Pang Tong next to him. There was a murderous intent in his eyes. Pang Tong frowned, and he also Unexpectedly, this Sun Qian could escape from his own dead end, but Pang Tong didn't care, he could count Sun Qian once and there would be a second time, and Sun Qian would always bring trouble to Pang Tong when he was alive.
On the contrary, Liu Bei was a little embarrassed. Sun Qian was plotted by Pang Tong, but Liu Bei couldn't see it! It's just that Liu Bei didn't want to offend Pang Tong because of Sun Qian. Which one of Sun Qian and Pang Tong can bring him the greatest benefit to Liu Bei, can't Liu Bei see it!
"Come on, have you finished counting all the grain and grass?" Pang Tong looked at Sun Qian. Dozens of civil servants came in amidst Sun Qian's shouts. These civil servants also looked very tired and covered with dirt. Why come prepared.
Of course, he came prepared, Sun Qian came to Nanyang this time instead of staying directly in Runan, because of Jian Yong's words, don't you see the great ancestor Xiao He Zhang Liang Han Xin! Coming to Sun Gan also felt a deep sense of loss. Indeed, everyone is a scribe, but this Pang Tong is indeed more clever than his strategy, and his calculations are more accurate. What did Sun Gan do to fight with others? This time he escaped with his life, so next time Well, next time! It's better to admit defeat and live a lifetime as a middle-level official, but Jian Yong's words made Sun Qian cheer up again.
Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Han Xin, these three people are all gods and men. They can be said to be the founders of the Han Dynasty, and they are also indispensable to Liu Bang. Counting all the strategies, such as accepting books at the top, entering the customs with Zuo Ce, fighting spirit Hongmen, and the famous dark Chen Cang, these are all Zhang Liang's strategies. It can be said that without Zhang Liang's strategy, there would be no Liu Bang to escape the crisis again and again and finally make a decision. world.
As for Han Xin, the more soldiers Han Xin has, the better. Han Xin is good at military strategy. He can use soldiers like a god. People, without Han Xin's soldiers and horses, there would be no world after Liu Bang. These two people are indispensable to Liu Bang, and Pang Tong is such a person comparable to the ancient Zhang Liang and Han Xin. Accounting strategy, but also able to make military strategy, can be called a genius. Sun Qian's two items are not as good as funny.
But don't forget, there is another Xiao He, Xiao He, Xiao He said it was big or not. Said Xiaobuxiao to Xiaoli. Xiao He is one of Liu Bang's housekeepers. Because I knew Liu Bang early, I followed Liu Bang all the time. But to the inside, then Xiao He is Liu Bang's confidant, Liu Bang aspires to the top of the world, and whoever is rewarded for his merits will naturally be Xiao He. Why is Xiao He Liu Bang's dog's leg, and Xiao He's strategy and military strategy are not as good as Zhang Liang and Han Xin. It can even be said that Xiao He can only govern one county, which is worse than his Sun Qian.
But in the end, only Xiao He was the only one of the three who really got a good death. Zhang Liang gave a Liuhou because of his self-knowledge, and Han Xin was played to death directly. Who killed Han Xin? Isn’t it Xiao He and Empress Lu? Well!
Sun Qian made a firm statement, since I am not as good as you in planning, then I will simply not compare strategies with you, I will only be my big housekeeper at ease, and help Liu Bei command Qian Liang. Help Liu Bei solve internal worries, and in the end it is success or failure. It depends on who has the last laugh.
The ten scribes came forward, and Sun Qian asked them one by one, and finally Sun Qian came out in command, "My lord! There used to be 270,000 stones of grain and grass in Nanyang, and 5,000 gold and jade, but now there are only 14,000 grains and grass left." Stone, gold and stone are only two thousand!" Since Sun Qian wanted to be the housekeeper, he naturally had to take care of the money and food, and when the fire broke out, he sent someone to make arrangements.
These two numbers really made Liu Bei's old face gloomy to a certain extent, and his heart was bleeding. Things like gold and stone have long been replaced by Zhang Xiu for food and grass. Grain and grass, so much gold and jade would be useless to him, so he exchanged it for grain and grass as soon as he got it, 270,000 shi, and Yuan Shao of Hebei raised an army of 300,000 in Hebei, but only 500,000 grain and grass were not enough. The small Nanyang County has half of it. You can see that Zhang Xiu is greedy. He came here to make Liu Bei cheaper, but now he was burned by a big fire, 14,000 shi, This is much scarier than ten not one.
Fourteen thousand stones are enough for these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for more than a month, not to mention rewards, enough to eat is not bad. If Liu Bei wants to rebuild Nanyang, he must bring food from Yuzhou, but Yuzhou is also in trouble now. It is not clear that Liu Mang invaded Yuzhou and the disaster of Yuzhou is unclear. Moreover, the previous battle of Yangzhou was exhausted. Where did Liu Bei get the food and grass? Come to Nanyang again, if there is no food and grass, the army will be in chaos. At that time, the army will be gone, and there will be no soldiers and horses to fight for hegemony. But if you have an army but no food and grass to eat, what is the use
Sun Qian's timely statistics gave Liu Bei a mental capacity to bear, and also made Liu Bei look at Sun Qian much better, because when everyone dared not speak out for fear of being implicated by Liu Bei's anger, only Sun Qian stood up. Help him Liu Bei to count losses, care about losses, how can this not move Liu Bei, a loyal dog, put the interests of the master in everything.
"My lord, there is a unified policy, and I should tell my lord and adopt it!" Pang Tong miscalculated, and failed to go to the commander in time to make any kind of loss, so that Sun Qian won Liu Bei's favor for nothing, and Pang Tong didn't care. People's hearts are also a dog, and his Pang Tong can help Liu Bei conquer the people in the world.
"Mister has a plan? I hope you can teach me!" Liu Bei had a gloomy face before, because he didn't know how to appease the soldiers, how to make these newly surrendered men return to their hearts, and the reconstruction of Nanyang later also needed money. .
"My lord, although our army now has tens of thousands more soldiers and horses, and gained the land of Nanyang, the granary in Nanyang was destroyed because of Jia Xu's fire. My lord, there are only two ways to go!" Pang Tong He also stopped searching for who Jia Xu was and began to consider Liu Beijun's future.
"The two roads?!" Liu Bei asked.
"The first lord, commander, these tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers retreated to Nanyang and retreated to Yuzhou, recuperated, stationed in the fields, and waited for the food for the coming year!" This strategy directly wanted Liu Bei to return to Yuzhou before liberation overnight. There are 8,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and 30,000 infantry, but don't forget that before Liu Bei attacked Yangzhou, he also had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, 20,000 Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, 10,000 Qingzhou Army and 5,000 Baierzhong A, compared with the current Nanyang soldiers and horses, they are a bit stronger. Could it be that Liu Bei spent so much money and really got nothing!
And now it’s not the same as before, recuperating, waiting for food and grass for the next year will take at least half a year, plus training will take more than a year, how many things are uncertain in more than a year! At that time, we can still dominate the Central Plains! Not to mention fighting the current enemy Yangzhou, I am afraid that the old opponent Cao Cao and Cao Mengde will be replaced by that time. The overall situation in Hebei has been determined and there are only two yuan left.
"The strategist is really a good plan. A year of hard work was in vain. He lost countless soldiers. If General Shuzhi knew the strategist's plan, would he dream of the strategist at night?" Hearing Pang Tong's first plan. Sun Qian at the side immediately ridiculed that out of the 35,000 troops that went out, there are only 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled left, although the Xiliang army that got 38,000 has 6,000 more troops than before. , but you have to know that this war is all about money and food. For so many years in Yuzhou, Liu Pi's savings have been wiped out. Thousands of soldiers and horses in exchange for hundreds of thousands of shi of food and grass? A general, Chen Dao, also died, five thousand white-eared heavy armor compared to eight thousand Xiliang iron cavalry is not bad at all.
Sun Qian's sarcasm. Could it be that Liu Bei didn't scold him, because this is what Liu Bei wanted to say, and Liu Bei didn't want to withdraw from Nanyang. If he didn't win Yangzhou, he would have a Nanyang as a consolation prize anyway, and Nanyang is not bad, and it can be regarded as fertile land. After all, it was originally the Central Plains There are countless cities in the area, Wancheng is a place with hundreds of thousands of people, and there are many outstanding people, like Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. These people have all stayed in Nanyang before, but Zhang Xiu didn't plan to run it when he got Nanyang. This made the original hundreds of thousands of people all relocate to Jingzhou.
Although the people are gone, Nanyang's fertile land is still there, so Liu Bei doesn't want to give up Nanyang so easily, not to mention that Nanyang is almost equivalent to half of Yuzhou according to the size of the land.
Pang Tong himself didn't want to just withdraw like this. If he withdrew the Central Plains hegemony, he would have no chance with Liu Beijun. Full!" The stomach that Pang Tong mentioned is not only about eating, but also the belly that is in their hearts. After changing the master, naturally they need to be rewarded. This has become a law.
"Haha, I wonder if the military division has any tricks up their sleeves. It turned out that they brought food and grass from Yuzhou, so who wouldn't? Yuzhou is already exhausted now, so the military division is still the same Yuzhou as before!" Sun Qian grabbed When he took the opportunity, he held on to Pang Tong. When he first set off for the expedition, Yuzhou was rich in food and grass. Although there was no such thing as Nanyang with nearly 300,000 grain and grass, there were still about 200,000. But Liu Bei’s army was really serious when he attacked Yangzhou. It has been dragged down, and there are only more than 50,000 grain and grass in Runan now, but don't forget that Runan also has soldiers and horses that need to be maintained. What to do with those soldiers and horses, they will definitely mutiny. Cao Ren will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to win Yuzhou, so why don't you want Nanyang and not Yuzhou!
"Who said I'm going to get food and grass from the Runan treasury!" In terms of military strategy, none of the ten grandsons would be Pang Tong's opponent, so Pang Tong didn't even bother Sun Gan. If Sun Gan remained silent, or Be at ease with your position, maybe Pang Tong will still be friends with Sun Gan, but it is a pity that Sun Qian can't see his position clearly, and if he always wants to stand on the top of the civil servants, he will not let Pang Tong treat him kindly, Pang Tong Before you came, you, Sun Qian, could be the number one civil servant in Liu Bei's army, but after Pang Tong came, you, Sun Qian, had to stand aside. Since you are overreaching in front of you, then prepare to die!
Pang Tongtong looked at Sun Qian with disdain on his face, and the corner of his mouth raised up, as if he was mocking Sun Qian. I can't think of anything you can think of.
"You!" Sun Qian narrowed his eyes in anger. Fortunately, Sun Qian can be regarded as a person who died once. He knew that if he quarreled with Pang Tong in front of Liu Bei, he would be the only one who miscalculated, and he would only lower himself. The impression in front of Liu Bei, so Sun Gan endured it.
"My lord, I should get my plan from the people of Yuzhou!" Pang Tong suggested to Liu Bei.
"Folk people?!" Liu Bei was stunned. Although there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou, how could those hundreds of thousands of people go to grab their rations? You must know that hundreds of thousands of these hundreds of thousands of people came from Xuzhou and were bewitched by Liu Bei. If Liu Bei really went to take it, then this name of benevolence, justice and morality would really be over. The name of benevolence, righteousness and morality was obtained with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers and Liu Bei's more than ten years of hard work. With so many hundreds of thousands of food and grass, such a calculation is not worthwhile.
"My lord, don't let my lord go grab it directly!" Pang Tong also knew Liu Bei's hesitation. If he didn't take it, he might not be able to last for a long time. Nanyang would be finished. If he went to take it, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness among the people would also be ruined. , so Liu Bei would rather choose to retreat than go to the people to get food and grass.
"What do you mean, sir?!" Liu Bei seemed to understand a little bit.
"We're just going to borrow!" Pang Tong said to Liu Bei with a smile, "The lord's benevolence and righteousness are famous all over the world. The hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou are grateful to the lord." There are hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people who have been brainwashed Propaganda, the people of Yuzhou naturally gradually believed in Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. If it is Cao Cao who wants to borrow food from the people. Then I am afraid that the people will not buy it. Because Cao Cao killed a lot of people, plus some people deliberately slandered, Cao Cao almost became a man-eating devil, but Liu Bei is different. Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang are a model of the world, a representative of benevolence and righteousness, such a person If I borrow food from you, I will still be short of your food! You must know that those Xuzhou people will even help Liu Bei block the sword, let alone food and grass. "It's just that the lord has to go there himself!"
"Of course. I am exhausted in Yuzhou, and the world can be calmed down in this big man. The holy king is deceived by others, and the holy king is in the hands of Cao thief. Why is it so hard for me, a big man! It is not my wish to take the people's food. This time I borrowed it as a double repayment!" Double repayment? how can that be possible! Liu Bei had already considered it. When the time comes, he will pay back part of it directly, and most of the rest will not be paid back. In the end, an official was pulled out as a scapegoat and said that he was corrupt, so naturally don't pay it back! Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled. Really is the hero of this.
Seeing Pang Tong's proud expression, how could Sun Qian make him happy? Sun Qian's voice appeared again and again, "My lord, although the lord is benevolent and righteous, the people of Yuzhou are also grateful to the lord, and they will definitely donate food to the Han Dynasty, but the lord How much food and grass can the common people have!" Sun Gan's words once again made Liu Bei fall into deep thought.
"Huh?!" Pang Tong looked at Sun Gan, and he also frowned, why didn't he think of it. There was a bad premonition in my heart.
"Hmph!" Seeing Pang Tong frown, the corners of Sun Qian's mouth raised, revealing a hint of disdain. Pang Tong is very knowledgeable, but don't forget that Pang Tong is still a young man who has not reached his twenties after all, and Pang Tong comes from The Pang family in Jingzhou is a big family. He is still the second young master of the Pang family.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the common people could collect 400 catties of grain and grass per mu of land, it was a year of good harvest, but the tax was as high as six floors. Because Yuzhou was left by Liu Pi at the beginning, Liu Pi himself was born in poverty, and The common people are the family members of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, so the taxes are also on the sixth floor, so the common people's food storage is not much, basically it is rations, the harvest year is good, if there is a disaster year, then these grains belong to the common people Life-saving grain and grass are only a hundred catties for a wealthy family. For others who are not rich, it is good to have a grain of four or five catties.
Pang Tong's strategy is good, go to the common people to raise funds, but you can borrow once, can you borrow twice or three times! How much of the common people’s food and grass can be lent to you? If you have enough, you can have a Wanshi. As for the reward from the Liang army, this is another huge expense. Can this be taken from the common people
"Gongyou is right!" Liu Bei really frowned. The people are really not rich. The poor people are poor because they don't have food in their homes. If there is food to survive, why bother to be a Yellow Turban Army. However, Pang Tong regarded these common people as those gentry, so he was wrong in his estimation. Borrowing food from the common people can only alleviate the temporary needs, but cannot touch the immediate difficulties.
"My lord, there is a way to solve this problem by being the lord!" Since Sun Qian has positioned himself as a housekeeper, it is natural that the master has no money, so he needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Looking at Liu Bei's frown now, and Pang Tong thinking to himself, it's time for his grandson to fight back.
"Oh, as soon as Gongyou came to Nanyang, Gongyou has a strategy to teach him before Gongyou can clean up the dust, so Gongyou has a strategy to teach him!" Of course Liu Bei is happy that Sun Qian has a plan. If you want to talk about feelings, Liu Bei still has something for Sun Qian, and Sun Qian is The great Confucian Zheng Xuan introduced it to himself. Zheng Xuan introduced Sun Qian to himself because of his teacher Lu Zhi. As for Sun Qian, he did not disappoint Liu Bei at that time. Liu Bei was just a guest army stationed in Xuzhou. Among Xiaopei, Zheng Xuan introduced Sun Qian to Liu Bei because Sun Qian had the ability to manage counties and counties, and he happened to be able to manage Xiaopei well!
Sure enough, Sun Qian did not disappoint Liu Bei, and Xiaopei was well-organized by Sun Qian, which gave Liu Bei the possibility of aspiring to Xuzhou.
It's not that Zheng Xuan didn't introduce better talents to Liu Bei, but at that time, Liu Bei only had one county, so you couldn't introduce those top-notch counselors with lofty hearts to Liu Bei! Later, when Liu Bei had Xuzhou, Sun Qian's natural ability was insufficient, but he could still support it. If there is peace and prosperity, Sun Qian will not have any faults even if he has no merits, he can only be regarded as a mediocre person.
It's a pity that the whole balance was broken as soon as Lu Bu arrived. How could Sun Gan, a second-rate strategist, beat Chen Gong, an old fox! Sure enough, Lu Buhe took over Nest's nest and drove Liu Bei, the Xuzhou shepherd, to Xiaopei again.
The general situation has been lost, many literati have left Liu Bei, and defected to the new master Lu Bu, only Sun Gan is still resolutely by Liu Bei's side. At that time, only Jian Yong and Sun Gan were left by Liu Bei's side. The truth can be seen in adversity, and although Sun Qian made a lot of tricks afterwards, at least he never left, so the two still have feelings. Now that Pang Tong made a plan, Sun Gan was able to point out Pang Tong's loopholes, which really impressed Liu Bei!
Now that Sun Qian can tell that he has a better plan, Liu Bei is also very happy.
"My lord, borrowing food from the people can only temporarily alleviate the crisis of food and grass, but if you really want to avoid future troubles, then you need to borrow from other people!"
Not borrowing from the people is naturally borrowing from those gentry. Even so, there are still gentry in Yuzhou! Even if there is, it must be the family members of some generals or civil servants of Liu Beijun. Liu Pi wiped out Yuzhou all those years ago, otherwise where did so much food, grass, gold and silver come from!
"Why are you in Yuzhou and Nanyang! The richest places in the world are Jiyanjing, Jizhou Yuan Shao was defeated, Yanzhou is in the hands of Cao Mengde, but this Jingzhou is a place where you can borrow food!" Sun Gan said with eyes Looking at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's heart suddenly became uneasy. The brows also started to twitch!
"If I remember correctly! The Pang family where the military adviser is located should be the head of Jingzhou scholars!" (To be continued...)
