Chapter 111: Can You Guarantee That Liu Bei Will Never Change?

A long line of soldiers was clearly visible on the official roads between Qingzhou and Yanzhou and they were slowly moving towards Qingzhou. This is the army sent by Liu Bei to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

With Chen Xi as the commander, Fa Zheng as the military strategist, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Taishi Ci as the generals, 30,000 soldiers, and Sun Guan the only lieutenant general, who was leading the 5,000 infantry under Taishi Ci on the official road.

"Why did you push it to my head if you don't want to ride a horse!" Fa Zheng said angrily while sitting in the carriage.

"You can often hear people falling to death while horse riding. Don't you think it's safer to ride a carriage?" Chen Xi said with a smile. He could not say that he remember how to ride a horse, but he hadn't actually rode one before?

"Huh!" Fa Zheng shook his head unhappily. "There are a lot of soldiers riding horse over there. Is it really okay for you to march so slowly?" Fa Zheng pointed to the small tail of the army outside the carriage and said while being dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid of death, so I sent out the scouts even if I am on the official road. By the way, if the soldiers are not well, they won't be able to change a bad situation. It is necessary to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers for them to deal with sudden incidents. "Chen Xi said indifferently.

"No wonder you put the sword and shield soldiers on both sides, with the pikemen and archers sandwiched in between. But I always feel that the army is a bit too long." Fa Zheng nodded and said.

"The cavalry I put at the tail are very fast. As long as someone wants to cut off the middle of the army, I don't mind encircling them directly." Chen Xi said indifferently, "I can't command the troops, but I know how to deal with situations. So I, as the commander, am doing the same thing as you except with more prestige."

Fa Zheng was helpless. After spending half a year in Taishan, he was able to see Chen Xi's abilities. Although Chen Xi didn't seem to be working hard, and he would never do anything himself but leave it to others. But Taishan county is well organized under Chen Xi's governance. The population continues to increase, the agricultural and mulberry business continues to prosper, and the treasury has not seen the slightest loss. This method, even for Fa Zheng, can be praise as "powerful"!

Now, Chen Xi said that what he was doing was the same thing as Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng suddenly felt the pressure. When he left Fenggao before, he thought he would be free from the devil's claws. He just felt what it was like to go out of the wolf's mouth and entered the tiger's den.

No matter whether Fa Zheng is willing to admit it or not, he can feel the gap between himself and Guo Jia. This gap may take three to five years to fill up. This is the fact. As for the person next to him, Fa Zheng is very suspicious about the other person. What did Chen Xi grew up with? Chen Xi was one year older than him, but he felt that the gap was very huge.

When Chen Xi saw that Fa Zheng heard his words, he knew that the Fa Zheng was going to feel the pressured. Then he smiled bitterly in his heart. How many times did Guo Jia beat up this guy every day? It is obvious that Fa Zheng has a psychological shadow.

"Forget it. I will give you a chance this time. I am different from Guo Jia kind of evil taste. This time I will not speak. As long as you don't make serious mistakes, I will follow your plan. My existence is to suppress this group of people. The chance is only for this time. The Yellow Turban is very easy to deal with, but remember that the value of this battle is to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest benefit!" Chen Xi stretched out his hand and pressed it on Fa Zheng's shoulder, then said. It was like his body was exuding a great bright light.

Fa Zheng was surprised and looked up at Chen Xi. Happiness came so fast that he couldn't believe it.

"After all, I started planning for the world at Hulao Pass at this time last year. Liu Bei thinks you are capable, so I will give you a chance." Chen Xi patted Fa Zheng on the shoulder again and said, "Come, let's do this. I'm very optimistic about you. Maybe you will become mature after being temper on the battlefield."

"I will definitely do it!" Fa Zheng said excitedly.

"Huuu~" Chen Xi let out a long sigh of relief, [He is still kid who is easy to cheat. This is an extra laborer that I got. Although I may not be good at planning on my own, I am still able to modify the plans. My vision is still good. Even if Liu Bei knows about it, it can been seen as cultivating the next generation.]

Fa Zheng was completely unaware that Chen Xi would use so many methods just to catch an extra laborer. Of course, judging from Chen Xi's previous series performance, no one would suspect that Chen Xi's military strategy was bad.

Li Ru's home in Chang'an.

Li Ru, who was pale, had an abnormal blush on his face from time to time. He was lying on the couch, listening to the report given to him by his servant.

"Are you done reporting?" Li Ru asked, with his eyes closed.

"Yes," the servant said with a bow.

"Go get the pen, ink, and slips. I don't have much interest in living anymore, but the Xiliang forces I created with my own hand cannot collapse with the collapse of Dong Zhuo." Li Ru said with loneliness flashing on his face. He did everything that should be done. Even if he remind Dong Zhuo this time, what can he do about the people's hearts? Even the Xiliang Tieqi, which he founded on his own, has now started appearing deserters.

"Give this letter to the two generals, Guo Si and Li Jue. Tell them that they don't need to worry about me and tell them that as long as they don't have civil strife, they can get rich for the rest of their lives. So take the servants and leave." Li Ru handed the written slip to the old servant, and wave his hand to beckon him to leave.

Seeing the old servant worshipping him three times, Li Ru's tears almost flowed out, but he still told the other party to leave quickly. By tomorrow, he would die alone.

Seeing that the old servant had left, Li Ru changed into a white filial attire and sat down beside a few cases of wine waiting for the dawn. It took so much effort to create an army capable of fighting the world. The world's top soldiers that came out of the bitter cold of Xiliang were enough to fight the world alone as the overlord of the world.

"It's a pity. I was so proud at the beginning. I thought that I was enough to conquer the world. I had not seek out talent from the country, and I didn't know the ability of other people. It was ridiculous. ridiculous!" Li Ru drank a glass of wine and said. Before this, Li Ru basically didn't touch wine, because he felt that the wine would make his thinking unclear, but now only the drunkenness can strip away his pain.

"Crack!" A cold wind blew, and Li Ru, who was originally drunk, was quickly awakened by the cold wind. He stared at the big man who suddenly appeared in front of him, then lowered his head to continue drinking, without panic and without tear. His heart was dying. Would he still care whether it is a ghost or a man?

"Military division!" Hua Xiong knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Ru.

"Go away. Liu Bei is a good lord." Li Ru waved his hand and said, "I don't want to join any warlords anymore. Dong Zhuo was so brave and so heroic, but was still subdued by prosperity. Can you guarantee that Liu Bei will never change?"
