Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the order of arrangement is their status.

Scholars have the highest status, followed by peasants in farming society, then artisans who can make utensils, and finally merchants.

The current social status of merchants is very low, and it is expressly stipulated by the law that restricts the status of merchants.

Although the current businessmen are rich, no one looks down on businessmen.

Isn't it just a bit of money? What's the big deal? This is how other people look at businessmen.

The dignified Yizhou don't drive, Yizhou's second-in-command, Rizhi brought a caravan to send to China to do business.

It's fine if Lu Bu doesn't say it, but Zhang Song also feels uncomfortable when Lu Bu says that.

In fact, Liu Zhang trusted Zhang Song very much. Every time he asked Zhang Song to take the caravan out of Shu, he trusted Zhang Song.

Because the amount of each transaction was too large, Liu Zhang didn't dare to let an untrustworthy person lead the army, and he was afraid that something might go wrong with the goods on the way, so he sent Zhang Song, his most trusted second-in-command, to personally take charge of the transaction.

When Zhang Song first received such a task, he also thought it was Liu Zhang's trust in him, and entrusting him with priceless goods and money must be a manifestation of trust.

But Lu Bu couldn't help it, and Lu Bu deliberately sowed discord, and Zhang Song started to think wildly with a single sentence.

So what if the transaction amount is large? After all, isn’t it still a cheap business.

"Uh... The main reason is that the transaction amount is too large, and Zhou Mu is worried about other people coming." Zhang Songqiang smiled and defended himself.

"Don't be so talented, but you are always running around Chang'an and Chengdu for some business affairs." Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "This kind of business affairs will happen every year in the future. Don't be a waste of the rest of your life." In these matters?"

"Silk and tea come in new stock every year, but forget about the wasted years, can they come back?"

"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and a group of money can hardly buy an inch of time."

"Even if the amount of the transaction is large, can you buy back Bie Jia's lost years?"

"What's more, all the money went into Liu Zhang's pocket, but what was wasted was Bie Jia's youth, it's not worth it!" Lu Bu shook his head again and again.

"The transactions between Liu Zhang and I have been carried out so many times. The two companies trust each other, and there will be no accidents at all."

"It's really overkill for Bie Jia to be responsible for delivering goods every time. It's enough to send a subordinate at random."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Song, and asked back, "Don't worry, have you ever seen that I sent court officials to pick up the goods?"

"Don't you just send a little subordinate to go there? Why do you have to send another driver when you come to Liu Zhang's place?"

Listening to Lu Bu's words, Zhang Song's face became more and more ugly.

Zhang Songben was a pretentious person, thinking that Liu Zhang was weak and not good enough to display his talents, so he often sighed.

Liu Zhang sent Zhang Song to be responsible for the delivery of the goods. Zhang Song originally felt that it was Liu Zhang's trust in him, so that such an important matter was entrusted to him.

But now being provoked by Lu Bu, Zhang Song began to feel dissatisfied with Liu Zhang again, thinking that Liu Zhang was wasting his youth and talent, and that's why he was made to be responsible for a dozen of cheap businesses.

In history, Zhang Song was not satisfied with staying under Liu Zhang, so he first went to Cao Cao, then went to Liu Bei after being rejected, and switched to others again and again, anyway, he just didn't want to work under Liu Zhang.

Not a good bird in itself, coupled with Lu Bu's temptation, instigation and provocation, the seeds of resentment have taken root in Zhang Song's heart.

"Sorry. 々." Lu Bu apologized, "Maybe I was a little blunt, so please don't blame me, just listen to it, but don't take it to heart."

"If this causes discord among your monarchs and ministers, then my crime will be great."

"Marquis Wen was joking." Zhang Song smiled far-fetchedly, "The grain and grass have been sent to Chang'an, and winter is approaching, so we will stay here soon."

"Don't be careful on the road. If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and you can't return to Shuzhong, you can temporarily retreat to Hanzhong to rest." Lu expressed some concern inappropriately.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen, I will take my leave." Zhang Song turned and left.

Lu Bu personally sent Changsong to Chang'an, which made Zhang Song especially grateful.

Sitting on the back of the Chitu horse, Lu Bu smiled as he watched the figure receding away at the end of the road.

"It depends on when it takes root and sprouts, and we will reap the fruits in the coming year."

This time, it was just to give Zhang Song a feeling of embarrassment, and he would not directly recruit Zhang Song to change jobs, that was too obvious.

If he takes the initiative to solicit, perhaps Zhang Song will realize that Lu Bu is plotting something wrong, and then think that Lu Bu is not fooling him.

He only provoked him, and then let Zhang Song leave. When Zhang Song gradually became dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, he would take the initiative to join Lu Bu.

At that time, Zhang Song will be brought under his command, and as the internal response to win Shuzhong, it will not take much effort to win Shuzhong.

Hebei, Yecheng.

Wrapped in thick fox fur, Yuan Shao sat around the stove to keep warm.

The winter in Hebei is also extremely cold, and all wars can only be suspended.

The door opened, and a biting cold wind rushed in, making Yuan Shao shiver uncontrollably.

"Kangdang."

The door closed, and the cold wind was fleeting.

Yuan Shao looked up, and it was Xu You who came.

"Ziyuan, but what's the news from Gongsun Zan?" Yuan Shao couldn't help asking.

"My lord, it's not news from the north." Xu You said with a smile: "It's good news from the south."

"Nanfang? You mean Xiansi has news?" Yuan Shao's spirit lifted.

Xu You came to sit in front of the stove. The two of them were young, so they were more casual in private.

"The eldest son successfully captured Qingzhou." Xu You laughed.

After besieging Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao also realized the importance of Qingzhou.

Gongsun Zan only had one county left, so Yuan Shao ordered a large army to surround Gongsun Zan, and then dispatched a large army to let his eldest son Yuan Tan lead the army to take Qingzhou.

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the words, "As expected of my son, he did not disappoint me."

Xu You showed hesitation, but still said: "My lord, there have been some accidents."

"Huh? What happened?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

"Before the eldest son took Qingzhou, Cao Cao also invaded Qingzhou and took away a million Qingzhou yellow scarves." Xu You paused, and then said: "After the eldest son led his troops into Qingzhou, Cao Cao withdrew and left. gone."

Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "It's okay, as long as the territory is occupied by us."

"One million Qingzhou yellow scarves, staying in Qingzhou is also a disaster, maybe they will rebel every day, and it would be a big deal to let Cao Cao take them away.

"What's more, the matter has come to this point, is it possible to send troops to grab it back?" Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "`~ Let's stop here."

Xu You turned to ask: "My lord, now that Jizhou and Qingzhou have been captured, and Youzhou has only Yi County left, should we consider the next move?"

Yuan Shao fell into deep thought when he heard the words, and began to think about the direction of the next step.

Although Gongsun Zan was not dead, he was besieged in a small county town.

Historically, Gongsun Zan insisted on relying on this small county town to confront Yuan Shao for three or four years before finally breaking the city and dying.

But the so-called confrontation means that Gongsun Zan survived, and Yuan Shao kept besieging Gongsun Zan.

Only a part of the army is needed to prevent Gongsun Zan from breaking out, and Yuan Shao can use other troops to expand the territory.

"Ziyuan, what do you mean?" Yuan Shao asked Xu You.

"My lord, there are actually not many choices left for us." Xu You said in a deep voice: "To the north of the Yellow River, only Bingzhou is left in Zhang Yang's hands."

"And it's still in name. Although Zhang Yang is called Bingzhou Mu, his strength is not strong, and the place he actually controls is Hanoi County."

If the lord wants to continue to develop, then Bingzhou is the best target, and then we will consider things south of the Yellow River. "

Yuan Shao was not surprised when he heard about it. He could naturally think of attacking Bingzhou, but he was still hesitating in his heart.

"My lord, are you afraid of Lu Bu?" Xu You asked tentatively.

"Oh~" Yuan Shao sighed, (Qian Zhaohao) "That's right, then Lu Bu has always been on good terms with Zhang Yang."

"A little publicity is nothing to be afraid of, but if it provokes Lu Bu, it's not worth the loss.

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu also dealt with each other quite a lot. When he was in Hulao Pass, Lu Bu left a deep impression on Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance.

Under unnecessary circumstances, Yuan Shao really didn't want to provoke Lu Bu.

"My lord, I'm too worried." Xu You said with a smile, "You really don't have to worry about Lu Bu."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao couldn't help asking: "What does this mean?"

"Guanzhong is barren, and Lu Bu has always been troubled by food and grass. Hearing that Lu Bu has just conquered Hanzhong, he must have consumed a lot of food and grass. Moreover, there is news from Guanzhong that Lu Bu seems to be expanding his army again." Xu You asked with a smile: " Even if my lord attacks Bingzhou, Lu Bu may not have enough food to send troops."

"Soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first." Xu You shook his head and said: "Without enough food and grass to support, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he will not be able to leave Guanzhong."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Lu Bu has no food, so why should I worry about him?"

"Decree that Youzhou will continue to besiege Gongsun Zan."

"After the beginning of spring, gather all the troops, attack Bingzhou, and unify Hebei!".
