Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

There are not to mention tens of thousands of strange people in the Han Dynasty, but there are still a hundred or eighty.

To say that the person with the greatest influence is none other than the emperor's uncle.

Suppressing bandits and quelling chaos, governing Youzhou, fending off invaders and restoring territory, strengthening military equipment, emphasizing education, promoting commerce, expanding maritime transportation, developing finance, shaking up the court, and benefiting the people, these achievements will be beneficial to the present day and will last forever.

With only tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he captured Sanhan, Dongyi, Qiongya, Jiaozhi, Dongying, Xianglin, Goguryeo, Xianbei, and Funan. The territory was unprecedentedly vast.

Such civil and martial arts skills make all opponents envious, jealous and hateful, and at the same time they have to give him a thumbs up.

Although Geng's establishment as emperor was criticized by both the government and the public, Liu Bei always showed great respect to the late emperor Liu Hong, the Queen Mother He and even the Queen Mother, which made it difficult for political opponents to accuse him of being disloyal.

Although the massacre of three families of Yuan, Liu and Tang took place, the big bosses all knew that this was done without authorization by the radical young men in Yongzhou.

Liu Bei decisively dealt with his confidants and stabilized the internal situation, and promptly controlled risks and mitigated the situation, which was in line with his consistent insistence on acting in accordance with the law.

Therefore, in the minds of many officials, Liu Bei is a powerful minister with a bottom line and rules.

But now, Dong Zhuo suddenly captured the eastern capital, and his army marched into the city to show off their power, and even attacked Yuan Ji, which was more explicit and dangerous than Liu Bei.

Therefore, civil servants, relatives, and eunuch groups watched the Yongliang tigers fight, hoping that both sides would suffer.

But Liu Bei suddenly brought out a lot of new equipment, giving Dong Zhuo a show of strength, and then sat back and watched the fierce battle between Liangzhou and the eastern coalition forces.

The coalition forces were in disarray and the war was stalemate, which made the big bosses very disappointed.

Both Dong and Liu are sentenced to death, one will be executed immediately and the other will be executed ten years later. Who do you prefer?

It was under this difficult situation that Ding Yuan used Dong Zhuo's power to disintegrate and disperse Lu Bu, which was regarded as attacking Jade from another mountain.

Lu Bu asked, what do you think of Xuande?
Ding Yuan thinks this is a good question!
He smiled brightly and said calmly: "With Uncle Liu, it is a fact that the Han Dynasty is strong and the people are rich. I am very happy. However, for the sake of imperial power and the outline of the court, it is best for Xuande Gong to establish a kingdom overseas, so that the world will be peaceful."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and asked quietly, "What if it's not what Brother Jianyang wants?"

"In order to eliminate the traitors in the country, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"

Lu Bu frowned. Based on his feeling, there were many people like Ding Yuan in the court.

So he then asked: "Without Xuande, Fatty Dong would have caused more trouble than this, right?"

Ding Yuan understood that Lu Bu was telling the truth. Without Liu Bei's intimidation, Dong Zhuo might turn Luoyang upside down.

"They are just reckless men. Even if the damage is only to the elbows and armpits, Liu Bei is going to dig up the roots of the big man!"

Hou Cheng was unhappy and took over the conversation and said, "Why did you dig up the roots? Duke Xuande was also the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, and they were all one family 500 years ago."

Ding Yuan said contemptuously: "He just said that and did countless things without any basis or evidence."

Liu Mang rolled his eyes and joked: "Who cares if the soldiers are pressing down on us? These days, whoever has the biggest fist is the king!"

Ding Yuan Ding Yuan pushed the maid away and said proudly: "The scholar's pen and the warrior's sword, which one is righteous and which one is evil, is proved by history. As scholar-bureaucrats of our generation, we are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so why should we fear death?"

Seeing that Ding Yuan was anxious, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Brother Jianyang, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously. Come on, come on, I'll give you a drink!"

After that, Ding Yuan tried again, but was interrupted by Lu Bu's laughter and was unable to discuss further.

In the afternoon, after having had enough wine and food, and having been served by beauties, Lu Bu said goodbye and only gave Ding Yuan a meaningful reply.

"Brother Jianyang, when it comes to the matter of merging the state, be patient and impatient. You might as well wait and see and take your time."

Ding Yuan thought that it was good that Lu Bu left a hole for himself.

As long as someone talks about it, it is worthwhile to work on the terrazzo for a longer time. What's more, if the other party says "Look at the situation", it also points out the key to the problem.

Now Lu Bu's food, clothing and housing are all provided by the Yongzhou clan. Before Liu Bei has no obvious disadvantage, he will definitely not jump back.

Zhang Yan also expressed to Lu Bu at the end that the Taihang Mountains were under the control of the Shangdang. Gao Shun had crossed the border before, so it would be better to return to Taiyuan.

Lu Bu put forward a condition: Bingnan must be open to the Bingbei Chamber of Commerce and ensure fair trade.

Ding Yuan and Zhang Yan were both poor people, so they took the opportunity to propose that they simply expand the chamber of commerce and call it the Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce, so that everyone could make money together.Lu Bu agreed in principle, but he had to discuss it with Zhang Yang. Maybe if it was done, he could issue shares on the Los Angeles Stock Exchange.

Therefore, Ding Yuan initially achieved the strategic goal of showing favor to Lu Bu and stabilizing the annexation of the state, and unexpectedly gained a business opportunity.

At this point, Bingzhou entered a stalemate stage. Ding Yuan, who was short of major generals, reached an agreement with Zhang Yan and others.

The Black Mountain Army was reorganized into county troops, and Zhang Yan led most of them to be stationed in Shangdang to deal with the direction of Taiyuan.

A small number of elite troops were directly subordinate to Ding Yuan, led by Qin Yilu, and recruited thousands of sons from good families to form and train a new army.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who shocked the Budugen Group, used ruthless methods to suppress Xianbei's head.

After he surrendered, he not only took away three thousand young knights, but also brought the hostages of the big and small heads of Budugen back to Shangjun. He officially succeeded Lu Bu and served as the governor of Yongzhou, taking charge of the military and administration of the state.

The 21-year-old governor was unprecedented and made countless people both envious and dissatisfied.

But Zhang Liao's martial arts ranked among the top five in Yong's army, and his qualifications and military exploits were impeccable. What's more, when it came to Yongzhou's internal affairs, if Liu Bei didn't nod, no matter what others said, it wouldn't work.

With fame, fortune, and age in hand, Zhang Liao rushed to the eastern capital with his entourage and betrothal gifts to propose marriage to Cai Zhenji.

The two parties had already had a tacit understanding about this marriage, so Mr. Zhang served as the matchmaker and the Cai family happily accepted the betrothal gift.

Little Witch Cai saw Zhang Liao through the gap in the female wall. He was more stable and had the air of a famous general, and she felt quite satisfied.

However, in order to eliminate the original knot, Cai Zhenji ignored her parents' objections and asked for a 1V1 contest to recruit a bride.

Little Witch Cai listed three events, musketry, parkour, and fighting.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "This is not a marriage proposal, it is clearly a duel. Hey, Wenyuan, are you going to win or lose?"

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and said: "It's shameless to lose, but... it's even more troublesome to win. Hey! It's all the sins of the previous life!"

Having said that, even though Zhang Liao had never played with a musket, he still agreed to his fiancée's challenge.

In the first game, there was no doubt that the fast shooter Little Witch caught Zhang Liao off guard and completely crushed him.

In the second game, even though Cai Zhenji was as light as a swallow, Zhang Wenyuan was always one position ahead of her fiancée as she climbed up and down.

In the third game, the two sides played chess and met each other, and the audience unanimously agreed that it was a draw.

Zhang Fei asked Cai Zhenji what she meant, and they competed. Will the groom be recruited?
Knowing that Zhang Liao was giving up the fight, Cai Zhenji said arrogantly: "He didn't win anyway, so naturally he can't attack..."

"If you say so, I won't propose marriage, and I'll steal it instead!"

After saying that, Zhang Liao picked up his fiancée by his waist and ran out of Cai's house. He got on his horse and galloped away despite the little witch's weak resistance.

The hostess of the Cai Mansion, Mrs. Li, was stunned. She seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Cai Yong.

"Young ladies can't help themselves, so just leave it alone. Well, it's getting late. Let's cook quickly. I'll have a drink with Yide."

Old lady, don’t even think about it, Erya is already nineteen, so just enjoy it secretly if someone wants it!

Cai Mansion successfully married his daughter, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Liu Bei attended, but even Dong Zhuo also sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Three days later, when they returned to the banquet, they saw their daughter with her long hair pulled back, her eyes full of joy, and Cai Zhongcheng and Mrs. Li were relieved.

The next day, the young couple left Beijing and rushed to Shangjun. They went to a courtyard in the northern suburbs to bid farewell to their brother-in-law.

Liu Bei sent out two muskets inlaid with gold and silver: "One for each of you. If you two have any conflicts in the future, use them to resolve them."

Zhang Liao was stunned, and the little witch couldn't help shouting.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean? You want me to murder my husband?"

Liu Bei said "cut!" and knocked on the opponent's forehead.

"Are you stupid? I'm asking you to compete in marksmanship. Who will listen to whom?" (End of Chapter)
