That's exciting!
Once those 100,000 refugees arrive, he can settle down and work with Liu Wei.
The eight hundred vanguard soldiers who had just died immediately forgot about it: "Your Highness, I think this is a good idea! I will definitely train troops for Your Highness in Anping and wait for Your Highness's orders at any time."
"Anping City is just ahead. Please come into the city for a drink, Your Highness!"
Qu Yi extended a warm invitation.
"good!"
Seeing that Qu Yi had been dealt with so easily, Liu Wei didn't stand on ceremony and gathered the guards and Liu Bei's troops to follow him into the city.
After sitting in the city for a while, Liu Wei led the seventeen riders of the Yan Yun Guard Battalion and Liu, Guan and Zhang to continue their journey.
Just as Qu Yi was arranging for men in the city to gather the remnants of the defeated army, his subordinates reported:
"Prefect Qu, 20,000 refugees have arrived from the northeast, all of them strong and healthy men!"
"Prefect, another 30,000 refugees have arrived from the northwest, all of them strong and vigorous men!"
"Prefect, to the east..."
"......"
Qu Yi was stunned!
Is this prince's mouth blessed? He summons refugees just like that!
"Everyone, get them settled in properly, select the strongest and most outstanding men, and train a new vanguard battalion! Hahaha!"
Qu Yi burst into laughter, unable to stop smiling.
......
Liu Wei headed northwest, intending to pass through Changshan and Zhongshan.
However, after passing through Dongwu County of Qinghe Kingdom, the county magistrate Cui Yan took the initiative to surrender.
It turned out that this person had a past relationship with the eldest princess and had heard about Liu Wei's affairs. Upon seeing Liu Wei arrive, he went out of the city to respond.
After a long discussion, Liu Wei generously allocated 50,000 people!
Passing through Mo County in Hejian, Zhang He learned that Yuan Shao had taken control of Ji Province and wanted to go and join him.
Zhang He was still relatively young and lacked social experience at this time, as this sixth brother, who, like Jia Xu, would always have his teammates protect him.
Liu Wei ordered Guan Yu to first subdue Zhang He by beating him into submission, and then through a combination of coercion and enticement, Zhang He was forced to obey orders.
Subsequently, he was given 50,000 refugees to train troops in Mo County, awaiting orders.
Julu received Ju Shou and was allocated 50,000 people; Guangzong received Zhang Nan and Wu'an received Jiao Chu, each allocated 10,000 people...
Along the way, Liu Bei saw Liu Wei constantly recruiting people and appointing new captains and colonels, which made him very envious.
With his status as the General Who Guards the North and a prince, Liu Wei had a large number of appointment letters in his hands, making recruiting people as easy as drinking water.
If they're not convinced, let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fight them. After the fight, offer them official positions as a lure. It's that simple and brutal: either they stay or they leave.
Although they had been traveling for four or five days, Liu Wei still had the same 80 guards and cavalry, seventeen masked knights, and the 50-man retinue of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, fewer than when they set off from the plains.
However, Liu Bei knew that when Liu Wei and his party entered the territory of Zhongshan, he had already settled more than 300,000 refugees in Ji Province and won over more than ten strategists, generals, and civil officials, including Qu Yi, Zhang He, Ju Shou, and Cui Yan, who had dominated Hebei after Yuan Shao's rise to power. He had made a great harvest.
Given time, Yuan Shao will be greatly surprised to find that Liu Wei has secretly taken control of about five of the eleven commanderies and a dozen or so counties in Ji Province.
"My lord, the State of Zhongshan is just ahead! The Zhen family, known as the wealthiest family in Hebei, is located here!"
"Hehe, Xuande, let's go and see what kind of life this Hebei tycoon is living in!"
Liu Wei smiled slightly.
At first, Liu Bei enjoyed Liu Wei calling him "Imperial Uncle," but later he dared not let Liu Wei call him that anymore, and only allowed him to use his courtesy name.
What merit or ability does he possess?
