Chapter [227] Zhuge Liang Has Nothing To Do
Exemption from taxes for five years in the name of Liu Bei is equivalent to Liu Bei not getting any benefits in Jingbei within five years.
This trick is used to deal with other princes, such as Cao Cao, it will not work at all, Cao Cao will no longer have any reputation, and directly send troops to grab food.
But when used on Liu Bei, who is full of benevolence and righteousness, it has miraculous effects, because Liu Bei cherishes feathers the most.
Once Liu Bei repents, it's over, and Liu Bei's reputation will directly stink on the street.
Changing orders overnight is the most hurtful thing for a regime.
Liu Bei now has some good names left, if word of mouth is ruined in Jingbei, then what is left of Liu Bei?
But if no tax is collected for five years, then Liu Bei will have no place in Jingbei.
One cannot collect taxes, and two cannot recruit recruits.
Originally, in Zhuge Liang's new Longzhong strategy, Jingbei was designated as Liu Bei's base.
Now that Lu Bu has come to take the bottom line, Jingbei has directly become a tasteless place.
Unable to collect taxes, unable to conscript troops, Liu Bei could not obtain any benefits from the three counties in Jingbei, and had to send people to govern the place, which was completely losing money and making money.
In the Jingbei yamen, there is no money and no food, all of which are scattered in the hands of the people "Zero Zero Seven".
It is easy to give money to the common people, but it is difficult to withdraw money from them.
Everyone was dumbfounded now, and Sun Qian who was at the side suggested, "How about forcing taxation?"
"Are you going to trap my elder brother injustice?" Guan Yu asked with staring eyes.
Sun Qian shrank his neck when he heard the words, but he continued: "But there will be no tax for five years, what shall we eat? What will we eat?"
"You!" Guan Yu wanted to scold Sun Qian, but what Sun Qian said was indeed reasonable, and Guan Yu was at a loss for words.
Forcing taxes and changing orders day and night will damage Liu Bei's reputation; if taxes are not collected, he will starve.
In fact, it is not difficult to choose whether to save face or stomach.
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Forcing tax, even if no tax is levied this year, tax must be levied next year."
"Brother, your reputation
"No more!" Liu Bei said angrily.
The reputation that has been raised for most of his life is ruined once. It is a lie that Liu Bei is not uncomfortable.
But at this time Zhuge Liang said: "You can't force it, absolutely not!"
"Military Master, why is this?" Liu Bei said, "I'm fine, and the Military Master doesn't have to worry about my reputation.
Zhuge Liang shook his head with a heavy face, "That's not the case, but another reason."
"What's the reason?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.
"My lord, don't forget, where are the recruits under our command from?" Zhuge Liang reminded.
"Youth in Jingbei..." Liu Bei came to his senses.
"Exemption from taxes for five years is also of great benefit to the families of these soldiers."
"Once the order is changed from day to night, it will not only arouse civil uprisings, but also arouse mutiny." Zhuge Liang sighed: "These soldiers don't need to rebel, as long as they all flee back home, we will become naked and all the soldiers will be cured."
"Lu Bu's strategy is poisonous wine mixed with honey. The people drink all the honey, but we have to experience the poisonous wine." Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, "The people take away the benefits, but we have to bear the consequences .”
"Once we change the order day by day, Jingbei will definitely be in turmoil."
"Hmph, recruit soldiers from Huainan, and then suppress Jingbei!" Zhang Feiqi said: "I don't believe that people in Jing are not afraid of knives!"
"It's possible, but how can Lu Bu just sit back and watch?" Zhuge Liang continued: "Once a mutiny and a civil uprising were aroused in Jingbei, Lu Bu would repeat his old trick and send a group of people out of Wuguan again to uphold justice for Jingbei. Under the banner of the army, he returned with the recruited Jingbei soldiers.
"At that time we will lose popular support, and the people in Jingbei and Lu will not agree, do we have any chance of winning?" Zhuge Liang asked everyone, "If Lu can't come once [he can come a second time."
Now everyone no longer refute, all silent.
"Lu Bu doesn't want to occupy Jingbei, but he also doesn't want us to occupy it. He is turning Jingbei into a chicken rib, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
Lu Bu really didn't want to occupy Jingbei, so he simply destroyed Jingbei directly.
However, Lu Bu did not adopt the brutal and extreme method of the four poison warriors, but used a more advanced method after fusing the four poison schemes.
Under the premise of not poisoning the people, Liu Bei cannot get any benefits from Jingbei.
For the people in Jingbei, the five-year tax exemption and a lot of money and food have made life better and better.
But for Liu Bei, his foundation in Jingbei was directly dug out.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Facing the current dead situation, Liu Bei can only turn to Zhuge Liang, a counselor, for help, hoping that Zhuge Liang can break the situation.
"Skills are not as good as people, only money."
"Even the military division can't help?" Liu Bei said sadly.
"There is no other way." Zhuge Liang shook his head.
The success of Lu Bu's poisonous plan is entirely based on Lu Bu's strength.
After five years of tax exemption, Liu Bei can go back on his word at any time. If the people's hearts are hurt, they will be hurt. At worst, they will use Huainan soldiers to suppress Jingbei.
But the crux of the problem is that once Lu Bu acts like this, he will definitely send troops to intervene again.
Lu Bu originally recruited a large number of young men from Jingbei, and when the time comes, he will bring these Jingbei soldiers back, under the banner of avenging his father and elders in his hometown, and there will be no place for Liu Bei to stand in Jingbei.
"Then what should we do next?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to help him find a way out.
"Concentrate on managing Huainan, and leave Jingbei alone." Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "The autumn harvest is over, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will start fighting soon. Let's start planning Xuzhou."
"Ai~" Liu Bei sighed heavily and didn't say anything more.
The battle was won, but not at all happy.
After regaining the territory of two counties, he lost three counties in a twist.
Although Jingbei is still in Liu Bei's hands, it is no different from losing it.
Moreover, the reason why Huainan was lost at the beginning was also because of Lu Bu. Liu Bei was equivalent to not gaining anything, but was losing money all the time.

Chang'an.
Compared with Liu Bei who is hard-pressed, Lu Bu's little life is much more nourishing.
Pushing open the door, Lu Bu walked out of the bedroom to the yard, but there were two people on his shoulders.
One is Zhen Mi and the other is Mi Zhen. Last night, the two maids attended the bed.
Although Lu Bu didn't choose to break the melon, it's not a problem to sleep in the hug, just for the two girls to get used to it.
But now it seems that the two girls are still not used to it, they are very shy, they are too embarrassed to come out for breakfast, and Lu Bu has to forcefully hug her out...
When they came to the restaurant, Yan Shi, Cai Yan Diaochan, and Wu Cheng, who was confinement, were chatting and waiting for Lu Bu to come to dinner.
Come to the seat and sit down, put one on each leg, Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen sit on Lu Bu's lap, one on the left and the other on the right.
"I've been married for a few years, what's there to be shy about, sit on my lap and have breakfast today, and see if you're still ashamed." Lu Bu said carelessly.
The two girls were like ostriches, with their faces lying in Lu Bu's arms, for fear that the other sisters would make fun of them.
"Okay, let the two of them go, and sleep with you for a few more nights to get used to it." Yan said at the right time.
Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen hurriedly jumped off Lu Bu as if they were being pardoned, but before leaving, Lu Bu's big hand patted each of the two buttocks, making the two girls extremely ashamed.
This means that Lu Lingqi and Lu Shao are still sleeping late, otherwise Lu Bu wouldn't be so unreasonable.
As the children of Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi and Lu Shao won directly at the starting line, or were born directly at the finish line.
Lu Bu believes that it is best to let children have enough sleep, so they always let their children sleep until they wake up naturally.
Lu Shao is fine, he still has to exercise with iron after waking up, as for Lu Lingqi, she doesn't have to do anything, just play every day.
"Come on, let my husband check up on you." Lu Bu looked at Cai Yan and Diao Chan and said.
Compared to Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen, Diao Chan and Cai Yan were already old married couples. They were generous and generous, sitting on Lu Bu's lap on one side and one on the right, and then began to let Lu Bu feel his pulse.
The second daughter is already pregnant, and her lower abdomen is slightly swollen, which can't be seen by ordinary people through her clothes, but Lu Bu knew it was there the moment she planted it.
"Very good, the pulse condition is stable, everything is fine." Lu Bu warned: "Consist on taking the anti-fetal medicine, although it is very bitter, but it can replenish qi and blood, and you will not suffer any pain when you give birth."
"Master, it's too bitter." Diao Chan complained.
Among the many wives and concubines, Diao Chan is the only one who always calls Master Lu Bu.
"I guess these two fetuses are still very big. If you don't drink, you will have a difficult delivery..." Lu Bu threatened.
"Isn't there a master in 0.2? My master's medical skills are so high, I'm sure I'll be fine." Diao Chan hugged Lu Bu's arm coquettishly.
"It's really all right, but if you can't give birth, then I can only cut open your belly with a knife, take out the baby and sew it up for you." Lu Bu touched Diao Chan's belly, and said: "There At that time, there will be a long scar on your beautiful belly, and it will not be beautiful."
"I'll drink it! I'll drink it!" Diao Chan hurriedly said, "Master, don't cut open my concubine's belly." Terrified, Diao Chan quickly agreed.
"That's good."
Yan Shi interjected from the side: "Husband, the two of them are pregnant, what did you say about taking concubines last time?"
Just as Lu Bu was about to speak, the butler's voice sounded from outside.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, a carriage came outside, and the other party said that there were two side concubines of the King of Qin in the carriage."
"Hey, it's just here." Lu Bu smiled and said, "Please trouble Madam."
"Well, the concubine will bring it in." Yan Shi has no objection, she has already known about this matter.
As long as you let Yan Shi know in advance that if you don't cheat on your wife, Lu Bu will accept a hundred, and Yan Shi will not have the slightest opinion. .
