Chapter 25: You Have Nothing

[Eighteen warlords, ha ha ha ha, as long as Dong Zhuo remains ambitious, I will let you understand the gap in three months.] A lot of schemes flashed through Li Ru's mind, and Li Ru once again saw hope, some of them were playing the eighteen warlords under the close of Hulao Pass, but there was one condition, that is, Li Ru did not find that Dong Zhuo was just for a while return to his past self, and at other times he was still the fat man who was greedy and tyrannical in Luoyang...

While Chen Xi was thinking about how to clean up Dong Zhuo while expanding Liu Bei's power, Li Ru was also thinking about how to use one or two months to put the eighteen warlords in a pot. Anyway, in his opinion, the difficulty of this matter is really not too big.

"Liu Bei..." Chen Xi held the wine bowl in a drunken manner and said respectfully to Liu Bei who came in.

"Chen Xi wake up, wake up!" Liu Bei shook Chen Xi left and right.

"What's the matter, Liu Bei." Chen Xi reacted a little slow.

"Chen Xi wake up first, wake up quickly. I have something to talk to you about." Liu Bei's face was flushed with panic and urgency.

"What's the matter?" The misty eyes immediately regained clarity. He had no such thing as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ability to force alcohol out of the body, but it was still possible to restore clarity to the brain by relying on mental energy.

Liu Bei quickly told Chen Xi what happened today. Chen Xi was taken aback, scratching his head and said, "This is a good thing, what's wrong."

After Liu Bei's army went out, he went straight to the nearby Tao Qian camp and Kong Rong Camp, these two people have had a good relationship with Liu Bei recently, but it is obvious that Tao Qian's men are still a bit capable. Although the entire camp was in chaos due to the attack, the Danyang elite soldiers were guarding the center, and after Liu Bei arrival, the internal and external cooperation quickly stabilized the military's heart.

As for Kong Rong's side, it was a lot worse. It 's easy for the descendants of the saints to teach, but for killing and cutting people, it can only be said to be easy for a strong man. The chaos of Kong Rong's entire camp was simply incredible. Two enemy generals made Kong Rong's army fell into chaos.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei's rescue can be said to be of great help for Kong Rong, and his basic goodwill for Liu Bei, a Han family clan, almost burst. Therefore, after repelling the night attack troops, Kong Rong pulled Tao Qian and Liu Bei to drink tea in his camp.

The three chatted and talked about their respective sites. When they learned that Liu Bei was living in Youzhou Plain, Kong Rong waved his hand and expressed his willingness to putt Liu Bei as the county guard of Taishan County next to him. Tao Qian thought about it and he also expressed his willingness to put Liu Bei as the county guard of Taishan County together.

If both of them agree, as long as Liu Bei doesn't refuse, the position is basically his. Don't underestimate Kong Rong as a scholar, since his identity makes him very important. It can be said that if Kong Rong proposal is agreed to at this time, Kong Rong would be able to create momentum for Liu Bei and make him famous all over the world.

Adding Tao Qian, a state shepherd who is willing to help, even if others are unwilling, in this period of time, Liu Bei can sit in that position with two gestures.

"Chen Xi, you don't know about the situation in Taishan County. Since ancient times, Qingzhou's folks have been strongly united, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Qingzhou area can be said to have become a place of bandits. Even some powerful bandits gathered in the city. There are only a few counties that have peace." Liu Bei said with a wry smile. In his opinion, Chen Xi hadn't woken up yet.

"Isn't it just some yellow turban and some bandits or something?" Chen Xi said with a curled lip. "What is so scary about these guys? With Taishan County, you will have your own territory and your own people. To develop, Taishan County is much better than being trapped to wander."

"Chen Xi, are you sober?" Liu Bei said with a wry smile, "You probably don't know how serious the bandit is in Qingzhou."

"Well, I haven't sober up yet, let's hear how serious it is." Chen Xi said indifferently.

"It's very serious. There are more than one million bandits in Qingzhou, and the people who are encumbering them, the bandits in Qingzhou can exceed two million, and Taishan County has about 300,000 bandits!" Liu Bei dark face told Chen Xi what he had learned.

"Two million?" Chen Xi scratched his head. He remembered that Cao Cao had to only take care of more than one million when he cleaned up Qingzhou. He picked out 300,000 of them with good physique and formed the Qingzhou Army. How come there are two million now?

"Two million is still a small amount. In addition, the people who reported about the yellow turban bandits say that the whole Qingzhou is full of bandits." Liu Bei explained to Chen Xi with a headache. He was really keen on the site of Taishan County. The problem is that the place can't be eaten! There are bandits everywhere, and the five thousand people in his hand can't even splash the water!

"Okay, there are bandits everywhere. Just calculate it at three million. There are many people, all of them are humans, and even one-tenth of them have seen blood. You can become a soldier with a little training for the young and strong in the population." Chen Xi said with a joking expression, but it was a pity that Liu Bei didn't understand it.

"Chen Xi, it's not about the soldiers. Taishan County used to be a good place, but now there is a surge of banditry, and it can't be put down without a 100,000 army! And at any time, you are facing a counterattack of the entire Qingzhou yellow turban, there is no way at all to garrison troops!" Liu Bei said helplessly.

"Liu Bei, what is your ideal?" Chen Xi casually looked in one direction, "Is it the same as before?"

"Helping the Han Room! My ideal is helping the Han Room!" Although Liu Bei wondered why Chen Xi changed the subject, but there was no hesitation in his answer.

"Is there any foundation behind you, like Yuan brothers?" Chen Xi turned to look directly at Liu Bei and asked.

"I don't have it. After all they are the Yuan family fourth warlords and the third warlords, their foundation is unparalleled." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"Do you have the reputation of Kong Rong?" Chen Xi still asked with a smile.

"Naturally, we can't be compared. After all Kong Rong is a scholar and a descendent of Confucius. How can I be his equal?" Liu Bei still shook his head and said.

"Do you have the strength of Tao Qian?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei, who was still puzzled, and said with a calm smile on his face.

"No. Tao Qian sits on Xuzhou's wealth, and Danyang elites. How come you are comparing me to other people?" Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"How are you going to help the Han Room?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

"I..., I..." Liu Bei opened his mouth but couldn't say the phrase that he often said to recruit talents.

"Liu Bei, you have nothing." Chen Xi whispered.

"Nothing..." Liu Bei muttered these words silently. Only then did he realize that he had done nothing for so many years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although he can sit in the ranks of the warlords now, have an elite troops, and hold the most majestic generals in the world, but when I think about it carefully, there really is nothing.
