Chapter 99 Does Military Advisor Zhou have a wife and children?

Zhou Xing wore a long robe, a scarf wrapped around his hair, and a sword hanging from his waist. He led dozens of guards and rushed to Langyaju County.

People like Zang Ba are both officials and thieves. Liu Bei was originally worried about Zhou Xing's safety and wanted Taishi Ci to accompany him, but Zhou Xing refused.

Zhou Xing believes in Zang Ba's character. He is a man of faith. He is going here for his own good and the other party will not harm him.

Moreover, when you are on someone else's territory, if the other party wants to kill you, Taishi Ci can't save you. It will be easier for you to escape alone.

When "I" assassinated Cao Cao in Xu County, "I" was able to take advantage of the chaos and "escape" at night when facing the two fierce generals Le Jin and Dian Wei, let alone facing less fierce people like Zang Ba.<

/p>

While asking Zhou Xing to meet Zang Ba, Liu Bei also wrote a letter to Lu Bu and sent someone to Xiapi to explain to Lu Bu that he had no intention of retaking Xuzhou and that those rumors were just rumors and were deliberately instigated by others.

Zhou Xing walked directly south, down to Chunyu County, then to Gaomi County, and then continued south into Dongwu County in Langya County, Xuzhou.

Then from Dongwu to Zhuxian, and then straight to Juxian.

Along the way, especially after entering the Langya realm, I saw many people helping the elderly and children heading north.

Zhou Xing stepped forward to inquire and found out that it was the people of Langya who wanted to move to Beihai to avoid chaos after learning that Liu Bei had moved to Beihai.

Langya was now occupied by Zang Ba. The leader of the thieves, Guan Chengyou, led his bandits to flee from Beihai to Langya. They gathered in Langya County near the sea. The people could not bear the disturbance, so they fled to Beihai for refuge.

Zhou Xing was secretly happy. Liu Bei had won the hearts of the people in the Qingxu area, and he had many strong generals under his command. It was easy to recruit soldiers. What he was most lacking now was food.

As long as you accumulate enough food and train a group of elite soldiers, you can no longer be stubborn and compete with the various princes for supremacy in the world!

However, food does not appear out of thin air. It requires manpower and time to cultivate and accumulate.

It is now the beginning of the second year of Jian'an. Liu Bei only had one year from Xuzhou to Qingzhou. He has grown from more than a thousand soldiers to more than 7,000 soldiers. These soldiers have all participated in battles or been trained, and they can be regarded as an army.

Elite soldiers, including 500 strong crossbowmen and 500 cavalry, are developing not too slowly.

These are changes visible to the naked eye. Liu Bei now occupies the two counties of Donglai and Beihai, and has strong support from the people of these two counties. Moreover, the population of Donglai County has almost reached its historical peak. These changes are the most rare and what Liu Bei wants most.

of.

It is a pity that Liu Bei still cannot get the support of the Qingzhou family.

Yuan Tan is now the pastor of Qingzhou. With him here, those aristocratic families will not look at Liu Bei seriously.

They will not take the initiative to surrender, but will defect to the plains one after another and rely on Yuan Tan.

Both Zhou Xing and Liu Bei understood that since they can't win the hearts of the aristocratic families, they must win the hearts of the people. At least one of the aristocratic families and the people must support them in order to truly develop.

Another important point is that even if Liu Bei does not get the support of the aristocratic families, he cannot offend these aristocratic families in Qingzhou.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was magnanimous and did not care about it, allowing the children of aristocratic families to flee to the plains without asking a question.

When Zhou Xing walked to Ju County, he saw tens of thousands of people walking north, including people who even fled to Beihai from Xiapi and Donghai in Xuzhou.

While feeling comforted, Zhou Xing also secretly rejoiced that although he was not as resourceful as Zhuge Liang, it was rare to be able to help Liu Bei get to where he is today. At least he proved that he had some abilities.

Now if we can convince Zang Ba to join Liu Bei, that would be a real great achievement.

This is something that makes Liu Bei even more happy and excited than getting Taishi Ci!

Zang Ba originally promised Lu Bu to lead troops north to harass Beihai, but when he heard that Guan Cheng was leading the bandits into Langya, he was worried that Guan Cheng would come to seize Ju County, so he held back his troops.

Later, I heard that Guan Cheng led the thieves to Langya County. Sun Kang advised him to beg the thieves. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no benefit in begging the thieves. These thieves who escaped from the North Sea did not have much food, so he did not adopt Sun Kang's advice.

Still preparing to lead troops to invade Beihai.

Sun Kang is the elder brother of Sun Guan, and Sun Guan is the second-ranking figure in Zang Ba's army. Sun Kang has read books and can understand some of the general trends of the world. He has always opposed Zang Ba's invasion of Beihai and believes that he should not be an enemy of Liu Bei.

Instead, you should make friends with them.

But Zang Ba just refused to listen. After all, when Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, he did not help Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei would hold a grudge against him because of this.

Sun Guan, Wu Dunyinli and others also agreed with Zang Ba, but Sun Kang's words alone had no effect.

When Zang Ba prepared his troops and was about to set off, he heard that Liu Bei had declared that he was the Prime Minister of Langya.

For this reason, Zang Ba held down his troops again. In any case, Liu Bei declared that he was Langya Prime Minister, so he was his benefactor. He couldn't lead his troops to attack his benefactor!

Zang Ba would not do such a thing.

Just at this time, I heard that Liu Bei had sent military advisor Zhou Xing to visit, and Sun Kang persuaded him to treat him with courtesy.

Zang Ba adopted Sun Kang's advice this time and held a banquet to welcome Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing entered with a long sword hanging on his waist and met Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others who had long been famous.

Zang Ba and others had heard about Zhou Xing's defeat of Wei Yue and Cheng Lian in Lu Bu's army, but they were all brave men and could not be afraid of a military advisor who came alone, so they did not kill him outside the door.

Sword, let him bring the sword in.

After Zhou Xing sat down and introduced each other, he carefully looked at everyone in the room.

Zang Ba is burly and strong, looking to be in his thirties, with a beard all over his face, giving him a rough and heroic look.

Sun Guan is about the same age as Zang Ba, but he doesn't have that much beard on his face. He only has two beards on his lips. He is quite strong and strong, and you can tell by looking at him that he is not weak in strength.

Sun Kang, who is sitting next to Sun Guan, can be seen at a glance. He is a man who has read books, not a martial arts practitioner.

The other two, Wu Dun and Yin Li, are sitting at the end. It is obvious at a glance that they have the lowest status among these people.

"I heard that you once defeated two generals in Lu Bu's army. I wonder if the rumors are true or false?"

Zang Ba hadn't spoken yet, but Yin Li, who was sitting at the end, stared at Zhou Xing's sword hanging on his waist and asked unconvincingly.

Yin Li knew that Cheng Lian and Wei Yue were in Lu Bu's army, and he also knew that these two men were not weak in martial arts. He didn't believe that Zhou Xing, who looked very young and elegant, could defeat them.

Zang Ba frowned slightly, but said nothing. He just looked at Zhou Xing. He also wanted to know whether those rumors were true.

If this Zhou Wensheng is really defeated by Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, it means that this person is extremely powerful, but he can only be used as a counselor in Liu Bei's army. At the same time, it can also reflect that there is no shortage of fierce generals in Liu Bei's army. Regarding the "black-faced general"

"And the rumors about the bravery of the "red-faced general" are also true.

"Not bad."

Zhou Xing answered quickly.

Since you want to conquer people like Zang Ba, you must let them know how powerful Liu Bei is.

"Zhou's military advisor is both wise and brave, which is really admirable. I just wonder if Zhou's military advisor already has a wife and children?"

Just when Yin Li wanted to continue talking, Sun Kang hurriedly asked first.

Zhou Xing was slightly startled, not expecting that the other party would suddenly ask such a question.

"Now I am unmarried and have no wife or children." Zhou Xing replied.

"Hahaha, okay, okay! Ahem..."

Sun Kang laughed happily, and suddenly coughed twice.

At this moment, a beautiful young woman came in carrying a wine pot, walked straight to Zhou Xing's case, stood and saluted.

She lowered her head slightly, her bright eyes moved slightly, with a dark wave of hope, and a slight smile on her face, a hint of shyness.

"Master Zhou, let me pour you some wine!"

The woman's voice was like the sound of heaven, and she slowly filled a glass of wine for Zhou Xing.
