Chapter 49: Hometown Yingchuan

The army was stationed outside Yingchuan City. To be honest, Liu Bei's arrival scared the officer from Yangzhai to half death. Although he was in charge of Yingchuan, seeing more than 10,000 elite troops stationed outside the city would scared most people to death, especially in times of chaos, when the situation is unknown.

Chen Liang, the officer from Yangzhai, directly blocked the city gate and mobilized all the protective forces in the city to prepare for Liu Bei's attack on the city.

After Liu Bei took out the imperial decree and put it under the city wall, Chen Liang finally figured out that this was just a false alarm. Of course, he also knew that you would not be able to get to Taishan through his site no matter how you walked back and forth. But at this time, as long as he was not stupid, he definitely wouldn't struggle with this kind of problem. He didn't want to provoke this high-ranking official who looked like he had grasp military and political power. This kind of person is nothing compared to his kind of county guard who has no military power.

To put it bluntly, if Liu Bei decide to attack the city now with a large army, kill him, then find someone to take his place, and then report to the central government, no one would care at all in this chaotic period.

"Chen Liang is polite. It is not necessary to pass this place, but in order to rule Taishan, I had to come to Yingchuan, an outstanding place, and find one or two talents." Liu Bei gave Chen Liang face when he saw the other person standing behind the city gate. Without a bit of arrogance, he politely handed Chen Liang a step.

"Liu Bei is polite, this place of governance should have been balanced between martial arts and scholars. Bandits in Taishan County are rampant, and the soldiers of Liu Be are brave and strong. It is not a problem to defeat the bandits. It is just that there is a lack of civil servants. But our Yingchuan is the birthplace of many famous scholars." Chen Liang went down to greet, and became very interested in the large number of cavalry under Liu Bei, hinting at it while laughing.

When the opponent laugh, Liu Bei followed with a laugh. These soldiers were his lifeblood. Liu Bei didn't have enough soldiers himself. Chen Liang still wanted to pull some? What a joke, he gave you a step to let you go down, instead of giving you a pole to let you climb up, and you even dare to pay attention to the soldiers. Chen Xi really doesn't know what his own family thinks.

Chen Liang hosted a banquet, to treat the soldiers who march through the wind and dust. Don't know if Chen Liang's head is dizzy or he is optimistic about Liu Bei, but the treatment had nothing to say about. He also specially invited some important people in the city to meet Liu Bei.

"Chen Xi, why are you here?" After eating a meal, Chen Xi saw Fan Liang and nodded with his eyes, then slipped out of the banquet. Liu Bei was generally tolerant of the few people he had now.

"Good uncle, Chen Xi has already gone to Hulao Pass to meet the warlords of the world. The warlords' ambitions have also been revealed. The brilliance of Emperor Guangwu line has been exhausted. I am following Liu Bei now and planning to become a official." Chen Xi said with a smile. Fan Liang is a trustworthy person, and he doesn't mind saying something terrifying.

"Speak carefully!" Fan Liang shouted.

"It's because it is you, uncle. I wouldn't say that to others. What is uncle's opinion of Liu Bei?" Chen Xi said with a smile.

"It's bright." Fan Liang said after a long silence, "The image of a warlord."

"Just the image of a warlord?" Chen Xi said with a joking face that did not have much etiquette. For Fan Liang, his memory is more complete. To relatives, he doesn't need much etiquette. To be honest, etiquette is for outsiders.

"The image of an emperor, but it was supposed to be due to the evil of bereavement of his wife, but now I don't know why it is suppressed. The original turbulence and the later life of an emperor were uprooted by the luck of the Han Room abruptly. This is not the appearance of a founding emperor, there is not enough tribulation. It is impossible to build a nation without suffering!" Fan Liang said after a long silence.

"Uncle's eyes are still sharp." Chen Xi smiled and said. After all, the thousand-year-old family has some knowledge that is different from ordinary people. Even if they are declining, it is not comparable to ordinary families.

"Your future..." Fan Liang frowned.

"Uncle, let's talk about sister Fan Jian. Don't look at my future." Chen Xi said with a smile.

The topic was instantly dismissed, and his daughter's marriage was more important than future image or anything else. If she didn't marry again, he would have tp pay twice the poll tax. Fan Liang didn't care about the money, but he wanted her to get marry!

"Jian'er is very good, just waiting for you to marry her. I can see that Liu Bei treats you very well. Now that you have chosen your own way, I won't say anything. I will leave you with Jian'er. When you get married, just notify your uncles and aunties. I will go to Taishan when that time comes. As for you, Chen Xi, to be honest, I underestimate you." Fan Liang first smiled, then his complexion gradually calmed down and praised Chen Xi.

"Leave her to me? It's not formal, right?" Chen Xi frowned and said, "As for whether you underestimate me or not, it doesn't matter. I know how much weight I have."

"You just need to take her. Since you want to start a career, you should start a family first. Cao Cao talked about you when he was gossiping, how do you think all the warlords are thinking of you." Fan Liang waved his hand, indicating that Chen Xi didn't have to care about the formalities. Fan's family is no longer a big family like the past, and the marriage contract has already been made, just take her away.

"It's nothing. Cao Cao has a good subordinate. He wanted Lu Bu to get rid of Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, so he directly revealed the three people's distrust out in the open. At this time, he only needed to be honest but it's hard to have an effect. It's a pity that Li Ru, Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo are tyrannical people. Putting it out in the open will just make them more distrustful." Chen Xi shrugged and said. Conspiracy is just a means to bully people.

After hearing Fan Liang's words, Chen Xi understood that Cao Cao's first capable minister appeared. Xi Zhicai, who was not seen much in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a figure named in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, had finally appeared. Cao Cao officially began to hoard his own strength. Also, Zaoyi, who had defected to Cao Cao at the beginning, has basically made the Tuntian system, and he will be able to get started soon.

"Chen Xi, it seems that you are very proficient in these things. I didn't think the sick and weak boy at the beginning to have grown to this level. If brother Chen was here, he would be very surprised." Fan Liang listened to Chen Xi's comments and seeing his careless expression, he was very satisfied, and said with emotion.

Seeing that Chen Xi did not speak, Fan Liang thought for a while and said, "Chen Xi, I think you came to Yingchuan, besides looking for me and Jianer, you also have the idea of ​​getting talented people for Liu Bei, but remember to not go to the Chen's house, unless one day the Chen family find you and hopes to use your line to catch up with Liu Bei. Don't care about the Chen family at other times. The big family has their own way of doing things. Don't touch these things if you don't have enough ability."
