Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Although Jiaozhou was large, it was actually only controlled by two or three families. The Fan brothers were no longer powerful, and now they were just hiding in the mountains and forests of Rinan County with the Li people; Zhang Jin was superstitious about mountain ghosts and witchcraft, and became food for the dragon in vain; Shi Xie was the only one in power, and when he was at the height of his arrogance, he stumbled and lost his 100,000-man army in Cangwu.

Looking around, it seems that Liu Bei is the only one left in Jiaozhou who is getting braver and braver in battle, with a large number of soldiers and sufficient armor, and is gradually becoming a powerful force.

"In the past, the emperor ordered Xuande to lead the two counties of Cangwu and Jiuzhen, but because the Fan clan rebelled and lingered in Jiaozhi, he was unable to perform the duties of the governor of Jiuzhen. In the past few days, the roads have been reopened and the government has issued orders. Xuande can also sort out the officials and ask them to follow the new orders."

To show his sincerity, Shi Xie took the initiative to offer Jiuzhen County, which he had deliberately controlled. He originally did not want to take the title, but just used this place to test Liu Bei's character. At the beginning, Liu Bei was content with a corner of Cangwu, which did make them look down on him.

In recent days, more and more noble and poor families have come here to seek refuge from Jingzhou. Liu Bei's unconventional strategy of employing people has recruited many frustrated talents. Officials in various cities and counties in Cangwu have been examined, promoted, supplemented and replaced in an orderly manner from small to large. The post stations have also been repaired and connected again, so that there will be no situation where Pingnan is lost and Guangxin is unaware of it.

"I heard that once Jingzhou became chaotic, the Yellow Turbans rose up again."

Shi Xie repeatedly recommended Liu Bei to be the governor of Jiaozhou. He also wanted Liu Bei to hold on to Cangwu and prevent the Yellow Turbans from taking advantage of the opportunity to take over Jiaozhou.

"I wonder if Liu Jingsheng could have thought of this day? After he left behind the chaos in Jingzhou, he actually sent those noble families to the slaughter of the Yellow Turbans. Those bandits were so rampant that even the Zhang family suffered. The family that was once rich and well-off has now been trampled into dust."

Liu Bei remained silent upon hearing this. He recalled the Yellow Turbans he had seen in Xuzhou and Beihai. At that time, most of them were confused and ignorant refugees who were forced to act. As long as the ringleaders were killed, the remaining people would not go astray as long as they could have enough food and clothing for one day.

I admire that Emperor Jing ruled the world with benevolence. Although he had not seen a prosperous era, he longed for it. He could not be said to be extremely caring towards the people, but he did so with a clear conscience. Therefore, when he heard that the gentry in Jingzhou had suffered such a disaster, he was heartbroken and worried. He wondered how the people must have been in such dire straits that he did such a thing?
Shi Xie didn't know that Liu Bei and he were not the same. In addition to being angry, he was also worried. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these Yellow Turban troops seemed to be able to grow in invisible places. In the past, they only attacked the state capital and looted the treasury, but now they have begun to slaughter the nobles! Moreover, these people do not know the value of scriptures. They wantonly abandon the heirloom books and allow outsiders to snatch and read them. What they do is shocking! How can Shi Xie not feel sympathy for their kind and feel panic?

"Whenever there is a war, the Yellow Turbans will rise up." Zhong Ping had been invisible for a long time, and now he spoke up, "The Yellow Turbans in Yangzhou have also started to move. The teacher said that he plans to take the water route with Mr. Kang Cheng to Jiaozhou to seek refuge in the next two days."

Shi Xie glanced at Zhong Ping. Although he knew that his son Shi Wu died due to the conspiracy of this kid, he had now surrendered to Liu Bei, so it was not a good time for him to do anything.

Although it was not obvious on the surface, Zhong Ping was actually feeling uneasy in his heart. After all, unlike what Shi Xie knew, Shi Wu was actually trampled to death by his mad horse... Fortunately, he was wearing a straw hat and raincoat that night and no one approached him. Even Shi Wu could not see Zhong Ping's face clearly, so the matter was concealed. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing.

"You are lucky, kid, to be noticed by Bo Ji. Zheng Cai Xianxue was passed down to you alone to learn the true meaning."

Even though Shi Xie had a grudge against Zhong Ping, he had to admit that this man had some talent. But when he thought about the difficulties he had gone through to study and become an apprentice when he was young, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He said a few sarcastic words, but he still couldn't understand it. Could it be that Zhong Ping was destined to be helped by noble people? Otherwise, why would Xu Jing be willing to lobby for him without even meeting him?

Is it possible that the friendship of more than ten years is not as good as that of a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?

His mind raced, and Shi Xie prepared to go back and use the tortoise shell to divine, to see if the two of them had incompatible horoscopes, and therefore the timing was not favorable for this battle.

After Shi Xie said goodbye, Zhong Ping also put on the small straw hat woven for him by Liu Bei and went to supervise the construction of the sluice. It had been drizzling for the past two days, and wearing a straw hat was too troublesome. It happened that Liu Bei had some free time after finishing his personnel appointments, so he woven a small straw hat for Zhong Ping and Guo Yuan.

Zhong Ping couldn't let go of this exquisite straw hat. He wore it whenever he went out these days, looking quite youthful. Liu Bei had finally returned to his old job, and was planning to weave a hat for his second and third brothers when they returned from the South China Sea. However, he was caught by Sun Qian, who said, "My lord, do you have any ambitions?" Liu Bei put down the cattails and went back to his paperwork. The remaining materials were woven into a pair of grasshoppers by Madam Gan and given to Liu Qi to play with.

Speaking of Liu Qi, the least anxious person in the entire Jiaozhou is Liu Qi.

Before, he was worried about the unknown outcome between Liu Bei and Shi Xie, and the promised reinforcements would be nowhere in sight. However, Shi Xie surrendered within two days. Just when he had arranged the soldiers given by Liu Bei, the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou went crazy again. Liu Qi thought about how Lu Bu, his stepmother, his brother and the Yellow Turbans were fighting each other to the point of beating their brains out, so he immediately decided to stay in Jiaozhou for a while to see the situation. He might be able to take advantage of something in the end, so why not?
Liu Qi was fighting crickets, Zhong Ping was repairing the sluice gate, and Shi Xie was fortune-telling.

Jiaozhou is thriving and everyone has a bright future.

"Boheng, Boheng, wait for me." Cheng Bing lost his dignity and approached Zhong Ping as soon as he saw him coming out. "The teacher is coming to Jiaozhou, and he is bringing so many books and classics with him. I wonder if we should send some people to Yangzhou to pick him up?"

Zhong Ping thought for a moment and said, "Is De Shu worried that there will be obstacles on your way? You are like the Big Dipper, and all scholars in the world follow you as a guide. It is indeed possible that Yuan Shu is trying to keep you here. But I have heard about the style of his advisers, and I think Guo Tu will definitely stop you, and Liu Ye will definitely follow you. The two sides hold their own opinions, and if Yuan Shu delays, you may have already crossed the river."

"It's not because of this." Cheng Bing was a little worried, "It's just that the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou are so cruel, I'm afraid the Yellow Turbans in Yangzhou are the same. They don't know the teacher's reputation, what if... Besides, I'm also afraid that they will mistake pearls for fish eyes. Even if a page of the classics is lost, it will be a great hatred for all Zheng school disciples in the world!"

Zhong Ping's heart was moved, and his face showed worry at the right time: "This makes sense, but how can we guard against thieves for a thousand days? The rampant Yellow Turbans and their destruction of scriptures are truly intolerable. After all, a family tradition is cut off in one day. How horrible is that?"

Cheng Bing fell into deep thought upon hearing this, and could not help but sigh: "If these people also had the tolerance of a teacher, even if they did not pass on the family scriptures to outsiders, they could teach more of the clan's children and leave more heritage in the world. Why would they have to do this if they could pass it on?"

Zhong Ping just smiled and did not continue the topic: "Master and Master's entry into Jiaozhou must be known to Lord Xuande. Besides, the Yellow Turbans in Yangzhou are far less powerful than those in Jingzhou, so De Shu does not need to worry too much."

Cheng Bing knew that Zhong Ping was busy, so he nodded and planned to go back and ask Liu Bei about his arrangements.

"Ding--"

The familiar system prompt sound rang in his mind. Zhong Ping did not stop, but just pressed down his straw hat casually to catch the falling raindrops.

The system's dark blue light screen unfolded before his eyes——
