After receiving the petition signed by Zhang He, Liu Bei and his party quickly packed up.
The next day, they set off on their journey home.
When Liu Bei appeared in Wuji again.
County Magistrate Wang, Zhen Yan, and Zhen Yao were also quite confused.
"Zhang Chun colluded with the Xianbei and Wuhuan to rebel!”
"They have been killed by us and Zhang Sima!”
"We've recaptured Lunu County, but Zhang Chun's remaining party has fled to Youzhou and is already in a mess!”
"We are in a hurry to return to Ye City to report to Governor Jia and the Imperial Court!”
" Zhang…Zhang Chun rebelled?!"
County Magistrate Wang and Zhen Yan were so frightened that they did not dare to question him.
At the same time, Zhen Yan was glad that he had helped Liu Bei.
"Don't be alarmed!"
"Zhang Sima and I both know that the people of the four counties in the south of the prefecture didn't follow the bandits.”
"Young lord Zhen helped us to avoid alerting the traitors too early and even contributed a little!”
"Sima Zhang and I are both people who make clear judgments. We have already written it clearly in this memorial to Provincial Governor Jia.”
Liu Bei had obviously discussed this with Li Tian before deciding to say this.
As expected, County Magistrate Wang and Zhen Yan became even more silent out of fear.
Zhang Chun rebelled!
This was a certainty!
However, the key was that among the people left behind in the officialdom of Zhongshan Prefecture, which one of them would be judged to have an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Chun?
Who were the ones who were loyal to the court and did not accept Zhang Chun's private wooing?
These problems could definitely be investigated slowly.
However, it was hard to say for sure in such a short period of time.
A group of people hurriedly led Liu Bei to Zhen Manor and treated him as a distinguished guest.
Good wine and good meat were served, and they even gave him a well-dressed horse.
They all knew that Liu Bei currently held a hidden power:
That was to say a few good words to Jia Cong!
Not only was Liu Bei warmly received,
Even Li Tian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei received a warm welcome from the Zhen family.
"Virtuous nephew, you don't have to be like this. Zhang Sima and I have already written it very clearly in our memorial!”
"All of you are loyal to the Imperial Court, and you have contributed greatly to it!”
"Hey, hey, enough wine.”
Liu Bei struggled a few times, but in the end, he gave Angel Li a look and said,"
"I can't stand the alcohol. Go and change."
"Men, help Uncle change!”Zhen Yan had a look in his eyes and quickly gestured for the two beautiful maids in the house to serve Liu Bei.
"Hey, no, no!" Liu Bei quickly pushed back.
Seeing this, Li Tian helped Liu Bei to the toilet and asked in a low voice,"
"Brother, why didn't you follow the plan?"
"Sigh, it's easy to tell the truth when you drink too much. I'm too embarrassed to say those words about money and food!”
Liu Bei patted Li Tian's hand and replied in a low voice.
Li Tian was speechless." Then pretend to be drunk. I'll speak."”
"Thank you, brother!"
Since Liu Bei wanted to save his face, he could only ask Li Tian for help.
After that, Liu Bei came back from the toilet and drank two more glasses before pretending to be fast asleep.
Seeing this, Li Tian cleared his throat.
Li Tian spoke generously.
He told them everything that could be said about his and Liu Bei's plan.
Zhen Yan also knew the rules of officialdom, so he quickly came up with the idea.
He immediately understood and then felt admiration in his heart.
This County Lieutenant Liu's way of using the name of filial piety was indeed unique. It could almost be compared to Donglai County's Liu Zhengli!
Zhen Yan immediately made a decision.
"Then I'll give County Lieutenant Liu ten million to help the army.”
Li Tian nodded.
He felt that the other party's offer was fair and peaceful, very reasonable.
In history.
Liu Bei had received two sponsorships from wealthy businessmen.
The first stroke was the Angel Wheel that he had just mentioned when he asked for the Yellow Turbans.
The second stroke was when he was ambushed by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in Xuzhou. He then abandoned Xiapi and fled to Guangling.
Mi Zhu, the richest man in Dong Hai County, gave him 20 million and 2,000 servants to reorganize his army.
The amount of money Zhen Yan had was between Su Shuang and Mi Zhu, which was in line with Liu Bei's current status.
If you can become a county-level after the matter is done, others will invest five million in you.
If you can become a county, you'll invest 10 million.
If it works, he can be the herdsman of Xuzhou, but Mi Zhu only invested 20 million yuan.
It was not that the Zhen family could not afford more money.
It was because Liu Bei's current level was only suitable for this much.
It was not a good thing to give the money from Series A to Series B and C.
It may be that the seedlings will grow faster,
It was also possible to give up too many shares at a low valuation and owe too many favors in advance.
"In that case, thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhen.”
Li Tian cupped his fists in thanks, then gave County Magistrate Wang a look.
County Magistrate Wang knew that Zhen Yan and Li Tian had a dirty deal to discuss.
He also pretended to be drunk and got up to leave.
"Ahem,"
Li Tian cleared his throat.
"After Zhang Chun's incident, the position of Minister of Zhongshan has been vacant, and the Imperial Court has no time to appoint him.”
"I think this year's county's filial piety index, brother should strive for it.”
Zhen Yan was overjoyed when he heard that.
