Guan Yu killed Xiahou Shang and defeated Xiahou Dun, which greatly increased the morale of Liu Biao and Liu Bei's army.

After Liu Biao learned that Guan Yu had killed Xiahou Shang, he immediately sent people to deliver wine, meat, money, and pearls.

On the second day, Zhang Fei continued to call for formation.

However, this time, Cao Cao sent Xu Zhu to fight.

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhu fought in front of the battle for more than eighty rounds, but there was no winner.

Liu Bei was worried that Zhang Fei would be injured, so he ordered gold to withdraw his troops.

Although Zhang Fei did not kill Xu Zhu, the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was such that Liu Biao's generals did not dare to look down upon them.

And Liu Biao also planned to make full use of Liu Bei's value

……

Xuzhou City.

Now Xu Zhoucheng has changed hands again.

The new owner is Sun Jian.

Although Mi Zhu and Mi Fang both liked Liu Bei, due to various reasons, Liu Bei failed to settle in Xuzhou and become the lord of Xuzhou as in history.

At this time, when Sun Jian entered Xuzhou City, the first thing he did was to ask for money and food.

The Mi family is a wealthy family with tens of thousands of servants and countless money and food.

There is no doubt that Mi Zhu is the biggest rich man in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu did not dare to openly resist Sun Jian, so he provided 200,000 stones of food and grass.

Although Mi Zhu once assisted Liu Bei and resisted Sun Jian and his son, Mi Zhu now understands current affairs.

Therefore, Sun Jian still appointed Mi Zhu to serve in Xuzhou and retained Mi Zhu's position as Prime Minister of Pengcheng.

Mi Zhu was very conscious and took the initiative to donate money and food to support the family.

Chen Gui was more active. He showed favor to Sun Jian and actively made suggestions for Sun Jian to stabilize Xuzhou.

This made Sun Jian's counselors and generals look down on Chen Gui, thinking that Chen Gui was a spineless wallflower.

After all, Chen Gui once betrayed Xuzhou and took refuge with Yuan Shu, and now he has taken refuge with Sun Jian.

However, Sun Jian did not reject Chen Gui's suggestion.

Because Chen Gui's suggestion can indeed help Sun Jian stabilize Xuzhou as soon as possible.

Therefore, Sun Jian not only adopted Chen Gui's suggestion, but also re-employed Chen Gui, but he did not know that Chen Gui was already preparing to betray Sun Jian.

……

Yecheng, Boya Museum.

There are countless new literati students coming to Boya Hall every day.

The Boya Museum has also been expanded again. Now it is not just a building, but a large building complex.

After Chen Deng entered the city, he went straight to the Boya Museum. Not long after he entered the city, he met some 'acquaintances'.

Among them are many children of wealthy families in Xuzhou.

Although on the surface, everyone is afraid of Zhou Cheng going south to Xuzhou, they all know in their hearts that once Zhou Cheng goes south to Xuzhou, if they want the family to survive, they must gain Zhou Cheng's trust and be attached to Zhou Cheng.

However, Chen Deng is very low-key. Before he set off, Chen Gui specifically told him not to show off in front of others, so as not to attract other people's attention.

Therefore, Chen Deng's current identity is just a scribe to be evaluated.

Today, the Boya Museum is lively again.

Everyone was talking freely about Liangzhou's 'immigration and replacement' policy.

There is no doubt that Zhou Cheng's policies are all 'exaggerated', even extreme, and are not in line with this era.

The source of chaos in Liangzhou is people.

If the Liangzhou people are transferred and replaced by a new batch, they will be able to stabilize.

However, the money and food required are not a small amount.

Only Zhou Cheng has such courage.

Chen Deng listened quietly and did not participate in the discussion.

Among the discussions, the one who attracted the most attention was none other than Sima Yi.

The biggest difference between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang is that he is very"competitive".

Historically, Cao Cao was serving as Sikong. After hearing about Sima Yi's reputation, he sent someone to recruit him to serve in the government.

Sima Yi saw that the Eastern Han Dynasty regime had been controlled by the Cao family and that the Cao family was an eunuch. He did not want to be subordinated to Cao Cao, so he excused himself from being an official with the Cao family because he had wind paralysis and was unable to live.

Cao Cao didn't believe it and sent people to spy on the news at night. Sima Yi lay there motionless, as if he was really suffering from wind paralysis.

Later, after Cao Cao became prime minister, he used coercive means to recruit Sima Yi as a literary official.

Cao Cao told the envoy that if he continued to lie in bed and did not serve as before, he would arrest him. Sima Yi was very frightened when he heard about it, so he had to take office.

In short, Sima Yi's"action" was to deliberately whet the appetite of others and play hard to get.

People pay attention to him, value him, and sometimes even want to kill him.

Chen Deng also noticed Sima Yi, and while Sima Yi was talking, some people had been paying attention to him.

Among them are brothers Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan.

The five daughters of the Zhen family all married Zhou Cheng, and this matter was known to the whole world.

The Zhen family's wealth is all tied to Zhou Cheng.

Also because of Zhou Cheng, the Zhen family is extremely valuable.

There is an endless stream of people visiting Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan, and there are even more people who want to get close to them and seek high positions.

Both Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan were paying attention to Sima Yi, which proved that Sima Yi was very successful.

He does not need to seek an official position, which is similar to Zhuge Liang.

Chen Deng thought for a while and then took the initiative to get close to Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan were protected by guards.

Seeing Chen Deng approaching, the guards immediately stopped him.

Chen Deng took out a letter and gave it to the guards, asking them to deliver it to Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao.
