In November, Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom, the weather was cold, the plants and trees were withered, and snowflakes were falling from the sky.

Among the county governments, Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, was entertaining a person, Mi Zhu, the other party of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. Mi Zhu was a wealthy merchant in Donghai County. His ancestors have been engaged in the cultivation of their generations and raised child servants, with nearly 10,000 diners and assets of over 1000 million. He was designated as a other party by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.

Although he was a businessman, he was graceful, generous, kind and elegant. Although he was not good at strategy, he was familiar with bow and horses and was good at riding and shooting. He was very famous in Xuzhou.

However, at this time, Mi Zhu's expression was quite anxious: "Ming Gong, Cao Cao's troops are now plundering Xuzhou, and he is cruel and unkind, and Xuzhou is suffering from disaster. The people are in danger of being overwhelmed. Xu Envoy sent me to ask for help from the envoy, hoping that Ming Gong will rescue him."

The head of the upper head Kong Rong said: "Cao Cao has a different ambition. I have a close relationship with Tao Gongzu. Zi Zhong came here in person and should rescue him. However, Cao Cao is strong and good at using troops. I am not the only one who can compete with him. Did Zi Zhong ask Tian Kai for help? His father-in-law, Gongsun Zan and Tao Gongzu were originally made an appointment as ally and should watch over each other."

Mi Zhu hurriedly said, "Zhu has gone to see Governor Tian, ​​and he promised to send troops to help."

"It's so good." Kong Rong nodded and said, "Tian Kai has Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Xuande, his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all have the courage to be inappropriate, so you can ask for help from him."

Mi Zhuxi said: "In this way, Zhu went to the plain to ask for help."

Kong Rong smiled and said, "He Laozizhong is here. I will write a letter to Xuande. He will lead troops to help."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming!" Mi Zhu was overjoyed.

Kong Rong compiled a letter on the spot, asked the soldiers to send them to the plains, drank a glass of wine, and suddenly thought of something again, and slapped the table and said, "Why am I so confused? There is still one person. If he gets help from him, Cao Cao will be defeated!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was surprised and happy and asked quickly, "But I don't know who Ming Gong is talking about?"

Kong Rong stood up and said with a heartoy: "He once defeated the army of 100,000 princes with three thousand troops and horses. He defeated Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong and lost 100,000 Liangzhou people, defeated the Huns in Bingzhou, pacified the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and eradicated the Taiping Road. That is, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the governor of Qingzhou!"

"Zhang Qingzhou!" Mi Zhu's eyes flashed with fascination: "Zhu also heard of his great reputation, but he was a governor of Qingzhou, with a high position and a powerful position, and had always been incompatible with Kanto, but he didn't know if he would help?"

"Hahahaha, Zi Zhong is worried too much." Kong Rong laughed and said, "Zhang Qingzhou is bold and straightforward. He is a man of our generation. He loves the people as his son. Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou. He was the governor of Qingzhou before, so he was not convenient to send troops to interfere in Xuzhou. As long as Tao Gongzu asks for advice, he will definitely help."

Mi Zhu said happily when he heard this: "In this way, Zhu should go to visit Zhang Qingzhou."

Kong Rong smiled and said, "It happened to be together. I haven't had a drink with Zhang Qingzhou for ten months."

...

Donglai County is now a very different thing. Since the summer and autumn, Zhang Wenyuan, the governor of Qingzhou, ordered the county and county to prepare for disasters, mobilized the people and soldiers to go up the mountain to hunt, go down the sea to catch fish, pick kelp, and then roasted and dried meat. The dried fish and kelp were stored. He also mobilized the civilian women to go into the mountain to pick mushrooms, and also dried them in the sun to store them.

At the same time, Zhang Liao mobilized soldiers and Qingzhuang to open reservoirs, dig wells, build houses, and dig fish ponds to raise fish. Qingzhou has been in constant disasters for many years, and Zhang Liao's disaster preparation measures are very popular among the people. The people have a way to survive and are full of expectations for life.

Donglai County is full of vitality, and you can see Wenyuanchi, Wenyuanku, Wenyuanjing everywhere. Even the mountain where Zhang Liao passed was changed to Wenyuanshan and Wenyuanling. The people spontaneously named Zhang Liao. Then, at the suggestion of Zhang Liao, Kong Rong also launched a disaster preparedness operation in the Beihai. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also performed the same under the rule of plains, Jinan and Le'an, but they did not have enough control over the counties, so the effect was naturally far inferior to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao planned and governed Donglai County in an orderly manner, and his reputation spread farther and farther away. Most of the people in nearby counties came to possess them. With the beginning of the Xuzhou War in August, more people gradually returned. The houses he had built before came in handy, but the food was not enough. After only one year of farming, there was no effect.

Moreover, Zhang Liao knew that in the next year, the year when Lu Bu entered Yanzhou in history, from the Sanfu of Guanzhong to Qingxu and Yanyu, a large-scale drought and locust plague occurred. In addition, wars everywhere, people were living in poverty and starving to death. Therefore, Zhang Liao wrote a letter to the court just to do his best. As for his rule, he was even more prepared for the disaster.

He estimated that by next year, more refugees will pour into Qingzhou, and grain and rice will be a big problem.

For this reason, Zhang Liao turned his attention to Youzhou across the sea. Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has managed Youzhou in recent years, and has stable people's livelihood and sufficient food and grass. Liu Yu has always been kind and can be convinced. Therefore, in mid-September, Zhang Liao personally took a boat to Youzhou. When he met Liu Yu, he borrowed food from him to help him.

Liu Yu is now appointed as the Grand Marshal for the court and supervises the affairs of the six northern prefectures. Qingzhou is under his jurisdiction. Moreover, he was originally from Donghai County, Xuzhou. He heard that there were countless refugees in his hometown and felt pity and agreed to lend Zhang Liao two million stones of grain.

Zhang Liao was grateful and learned that Liu Yu had the intention of attacking Gongsun Zan, who was increasingly violent, and he knew what Liu Yu would end up, so he dissuaded him, but he did not obey Liu Yu's situation.

After returning from borrowing grain from Youzhou, Zhang Liao went to Xuzhou to collect Zhuge Liang and Xu Sheng. He was going to plunder some talents in Xuzhou, but Donglai had some accidents.

At this time, in Guanshiwu, Changguang County, Zhang Liao looked at a piece of information and tapped the desk with his fingers. Zhuge Liang, who was standing beside him, thoughtful and silent after seeing his master who was explaining military tactics received a piece of information. He couldn't help but feel curious.

"A Liang." Zhang Liao, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly asked: "Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, sent 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zan, but was defeated by Gongsun Zan and trapped in Juyong County. Do you think you should save Liu Yu as a teacher?"

When Zhuge Liang heard Zhang Liao's inquiry, he asked back: "Liu Youzhou is trapped thousands of miles away. Can Master save Liu Youzhou now?"

Zhang Liao touched his chin and said, "If I want to save it, I can save it."

Zhuge Liang said: "In this way, we should go and rescue it quickly."

Zhang Liao glanced at him: "Why?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Gongsun Zan is becoming increasingly violent. Liu Youzhou is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He has always been kind and righteous, and has won the hearts of the people. He also has the righteousness of borrowing grain from Qingzhou. If the master saves him, he can repay the kindness and kindness, and can also win the hearts of the people of Youzhou. It is beneficial to save Liu Youzhou for public or private purposes.

"Hahahaha, it's better for one to be public and private, and the other is beneficial but not harmful." Zhang Liao smiled and said, "In this way, I'll save it!"

Zhang Liao just asked Zhuge Liang about it, but in fact he had already made up his mind. He immediately wrote a letter and ordered the shadow to Guo Jia and Zhao Yun in Zhongshan County to plan the rescue of Liu Yu.

He believed that Guo Jia and Zhao Yun would not disappoint him. With Guo Jia's wisdom and Zhao Yun's courage, if they could not save them, it would be useless to go in person.
