"My surname is not Zhang. Don't try to get anything out of me.”Although the young man was stubborn, his expression clearly betrayed him.
"I didn't ask if your surname is Zhang. Why are you so agitated? Sell yourself?" Great Military Advisor Meng Yi had a look of success on his face.
"You…" The young man pointed at Meng Yi without saying a word.
"Alright, follow me from now on."
"Don't regret it!" Although the youth gritted his teeth, he clearly did not want to go back to that filthy cell. After all, he was still a child. Although he was tough with his words, he knew that it was impossible for him to kill Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had no choice but to send another group of guards to Meng Yi to monitor the youth.
Great Military Advisor Meng Yi was very pleased with himself. He was certain that this young man was related to Zhang Yan and might even be a relative. However, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi did not know that he had poked a hornet's nest this time.
The next morning, Liu Bei brought a group of civil and military officials to Wei County to take up their posts. However, a new problem appeared. Early in the morning, many commoners brought along their families to follow Liu Bei.
" It's inconvenient to bring these commoners along, and it'll delay the time," Meng Yi said with a frown.
Liu Bei looked at the commoners and felt a mix of emotions.
I would rather be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times. It was a tragedy for these people to live in troubled times. Jizhou was even more rampant with bandits. Black Mountain Bandits, Yellow Turban Bandits, Horse Gangs, and even Hu people would come to Jizhou to rob for no reason. The people of Jizhou were all deeply harmed. Only the plains had the three brothers, Liu Guan and Zhang. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the bandits around them did not dare to approach. Liu Bei was the sustenance of their hearts.
"Fourth brother, I remember that you once told me that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world.”
Meng Yi nodded, but he was already prepared to control Liu Bei.
Meng Yi knew about the story of Liu Bei crossing the river with his people. However, at that time, he was forced by Cao Cao's army and had no way out. Now, things had not reached this stage. It would take two months to reach Wei County from the plains. Moreover, Han Fu and Gongsun Zan in the north would still have a big battle. If he delayed it, it would probably arouse Han Fu's suspicion.
At that time, it would be really difficult to deal with. Who knew if Han Fu would be desperate and start a big battle with Liu Bei? Moreover, Ju Yi would definitely not have an easy time in Gongsun Zan. Once Han Fu defeated Gongsun Zan, he would probably turn around and deal with Meng Yi. Meng Yi's current plan was to reach Wei County within five days. Before Gongsun Zan and Han Fu decided the winner, he would first gain a firm foothold in Wei County and then expand his strength. However, he did not expect this.
Therefore, he definitely couldn't do that.
Once Han Fu and Gongsun Zan decided the winner, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Han Fu won, he would immediately turn around to deal with this place. If Gongsun Zan won, he would immediately lead his troops to attack Jizhou. At that time, it would be difficult for him to establish a foothold in Jizhou.
The most important thing for Meng Yilai now was time. Cao Cao was still an official in the capital, Yuan Shao was still a young master, and Sun Quan was still at the age of milk. As long as Liu Bei could establish himself in Jizhou, the world would be settled.
However, at this moment, the child spoke.
"Seeing how worried you are, I thought you were very powerful. I didn't expect you to be so useless. You can't even do this.”Meng Yi turned around and saw that it was the youth who had tried to assassinate Liu Bei.
"Do you have any ideas?" Meng Yi laughed.
Liu Bei's eyes also shot out a bright light as he looked at the youth.
"It's very simple. You guys go first. Won't these commoners slowly go to Wei County by themselves?”The youth said proudly.
Meng Yi almost fainted from anger when he heard that. Great Military Advisor Meng Yi had already thought of this.
"Are you convinced?" The young man raised his head high and looked pleased.
"There are countless thieves along the way, and the government is eyeing us covetously. Do you think it's that easy?”Great Military Advisor Meng Yi had the urge to curse, but who knew that the youth would say unhurriedly,"I guess you're the only one who doesn't have the ability. If it were me, hehe, what thieves?”
