thought that he Yuan Chang used to be just an unpopular child of the Yuan family, but now, he has gone ahead of himself and become a Youzhou pastor. And he, Liu Bei, is also a descendant of the royal family, of course, this is Liu Bei's own identification, and it has not yet been officially certified. He is a descendant of the royal family, if he is not as good as a child of a family who is not in the stream, what kind of ideals and ambitions can he talk about.

Liu Bei suddenly left the table and stood up, and said with a resolute face: "Since Shuzhi, Xianhe, and Yide, you all think that you should take Xuzhou as the foundation now, I will take it." Yun Chang, Gong You, Zi Zhong, what do you three think?"

"Since the eldest brother decides, the younger brother should obey!"

Guan Yu is synonymous with loyalty, and he doesn't say it. There is no doubt about Guan Yu's righteousness, and later generations will worship Guan Yu as a righteous belief. Initially, Liu Bei betrayed Cao Cao and captured Xuzhou, attracting Cao Cao's army to attack, but as a result, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were swept away by the chaotic army, and only Guan Yu held Xiapi. Originally, Guan Yu fought to the death for the righteousness of all his brothers, and then, for Liu Bei's two wives, temporarily surrendered to Cao Cao; Cao Cao originally wanted to use kindness to influence Guan Yu, but who knew that Guan Yu was unmoved, and finally left Cao Cao, leading to the story of walking thousands of miles alone; later, Maicheng was defeated, Guan Yu was captured by Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan also wanted to surrender Guan Yu, but, later he also knew that this was impossible, so he beheaded Guan Yu, ending Guan Yu's glorious life.

In the days of temporarily surrendering to Cao Cao, Guan Yu can be said to have interpreted the word "righteousness" vividly and flawlessly. Of course, no one can be the slightest picky about Guan Yu's righteousness.

However, there is a different attitude towards Guan Yu's loyalty.

It is usually said that Guan Yu's "loyalty" is the loyalty of the king to the imperial court, and "righteousness" is the righteousness of Liu Bei's sworn brother. As for Guan Yu's loyalty to the Han family, it is not true.

If a person is loyal to the court, once there is a traitor in the court, such a person must be admonished by death, as for the examples, there are countless examples, so I will not go into details. During Xu Tian's hunting, Cao Cao clearly showed his disrespect for Emperor Han Xian's court, and of course, Guan Yu also showed his anger and wanted to stand up and kill Cao Cao. However, when Liu Bei signaled Guan Yu not to act rashly, Guan Yu also stopped his movements. At that time, the distance between Guan Yu and Cao Cao was not far, as long as Cao Cao was killed with one sword, there would be no trouble. However, just because of Liu Bei's action and look, Guan Yu stopped moving, so it can be seen from here that Guan Yu's loyalty to the Son of Heaven and the court is not so strong. But Liu Bei's explanation was that he was afraid that Cao Cao's subordinates would harm the life of the Son of Heaven, Guan Yu was actually not stupid, as long as Cao Cao was killed, would Cao Cao's subordinates really dare to hurt Emperor Han Xian? Obviously, Liu Bei and Guan Yu didn't care much about whether the Son of Heaven still had prestige. Subsequently, Liu Bei led the king of Hanzhong, you must know that the throne is not something you can claim to yourself, but to be recognized by the imperial court, Liu Bei did this, obviously disrespectful to the imperial court, did not put the Son of Heaven in his eyes, but Guan Yu did not have any actual objection, it can be seen that Guan Yu's loyalty to the imperial court is in what position. Just like Xun Yu under Cao Cao, he was a courtier who was truly loyal to the Son of Heaven and loyal to the Han family, and in order to prevent Cao Cao from becoming king, Xun Yu even sacrificed his own life. After comparing Guan Yu and Xun Yu, the loyalty to the court is clear at a glance.

Therefore, if Guan Yu's righteousness is undoubted, then loyalty is another matter. Of course, perhaps because Liu Bei often lives in person with the Han family, so people think that Guan Yu is also loyal to the Han family and the Son of Heaven, but in fact, Guan Yu is actually loyal to Liu Bei alone.

Therefore, when Liu Bei proposed to replace Tao Qian to seize Xuzhou, Guan Yu did not have any objection. Because this is Liu Bei's decision, as Guan Yu, who is a righteous brother, he will only support it, but will not oppose it.

Of course, Sun Qian will not have an opinion, perhaps, this is also what he expects in his heart.

And Mi Zhu, who was originally a traitor arranged by Yuan Chang beside Liu Bei, naturally would not refuse at this moment, and said with a generous face: "The lord and rest assured, once the lord obtains the Xuzhou pastor, his subordinates will definitely contact the wealthy merchants of Xuzhou to give the lord grain, grass and property support, so that the lord does not have to worry about such trivial matters." ”

"With Zizhong's words, I don't need to worry about grain and grass anymore!"

Hearing Mi Zhu say this, Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed. Thinking about his old days, in order to make a living, he had to sell straw sandals. Later, even if the imperial court issued a letter to recruit soldiers to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei did not have any money, and he had to rely on the help of businessmen to pull up a team of hundreds of people. Now with the support of Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou, Liu Bei can finally breathe a sigh of relief and carry out his grand ideal of dominating the world with peace of mind.

Chen Zhi also stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, as long as the lord takes Xuzhou, the uncle and uncle will serve the lord." They also discussed with the big and small families in Xuzhou and fully supported the lord as the pastor of Xuzhou. ”

Listening to Chen Dao's words, Liu Bei was even more settled.

Mi Zhu's money can solve the problem of soldiers' food, weapons and equipment, but if you want to govern Xuzhou, you can't rely on money to solve the problem. A huge Xuzhou, he Liu Bei is just a newcomer, he has no own team at all, and he won Xuzhou all of a sudden, how can he manage it. Since Chen Zhi said that Chen Deng and Chen Qi would help him, then Liu Bei has nothing to worry about, Chen Deng and their family used to be a family at the level of the three princes, and their influence in Xuzhou is also deep-rooted, and Chen Deng and Chen Qi's abilities are also not bad, with the support of these families, Liu Bei is convinced that with his own ability, there must be a place for him in this world.

"In that case, do as you do. I see the merits of all of you today, and he will be able to restore the Han dynasty in the future, and he will not forget your merits. ”

Let's say that Tao Qian has two sons, a potter and a Tao Ying.

I have to say that Tao Qian is really a bit of a failure. Lured the wolf into the house and recruited Liu Bei, the evil wolf, into Xuzhou, not to mention, the two sons he educated were also extremely failures. First of all, the eldest son, Tao Shang, is a dignified seven-foot man, however, he likes male style, of course, Tao Qian also knows this, or in other words, few people in Xuzhou don't know. However, Tao Qian is helpless, now that the pottery merchant has grown up, Tao Qian is old, and he can no longer continue to educate him; It's just that Tao Ying originally liked Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Zhen, but it's a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, but Mi Zhen is not interested in Tao Ying. Then, Tao Ying became a second-generation official who indulged in women and spent all day drinking.

Of course, in fact, the potter is a good man, and the pottery should indulge in women, which is actually not a big deal. However, what outsiders don't know is that the two brothers have already become psychologically distorted and have begun to pervert. Every time, the potter and Tao Ying would always bring their respective objects to one place, and the potter would play with his male pet and Tao Ying would play with his female companion. After the end, the potter's male pet and Tao Ying's female companion had a fierce hand-to-hand fight, while the potter and Tao Ying watched with relish on the side, expressing some opinions from time to time. It can be seen how distorted the psychology of the two has become.

Outsiders naturally don't know about these things, even Tao Qian doesn't understand. However, Chen Zhi, as a black-bellied person who likes to collect intelligence and hides in the shadows, naturally knows the situation of the potter and Tao Ying very well.

On this day, it was the day when the potter and Tao Ying carried out the uncovered conference.

The potter knelt behind the male pet, constantly shaking, while Tao Ying rested the legs of his female companion on his shoulders, and the two brothers looked at each other with perverted smiles on their faces.

"Ahh

The four of them shouted at the same time, obviously to the extreme. Next, it is natural that the activities of male pets and female companions, the timing of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying to observe.

It's just that before the event even started, a mutation happened!

"Bang!"

Just when the potter and Tao Ying were in high spirits and ready to watch the next battle, the door of the house was suddenly kicked open, and then, a group of people broke in violently.

The person at the head is none other than Chen Dao.

The potter's male pet and Tao Ying's female companion screamed and got into the bed. However, the potter and Tao Ying didn't care about their Chiguo's body at all, and looked at Chen Zhi with a dissatisfied face, only to see the potter say: "Chen Duwei, what do you mean by this, why did you break into the residence of this son? ”

Chen Zhi had long known the hobbies of the two brothers, so naturally he would not be the slightest surprised by the scene in front of him. Hearing the Tao merchant's inquiry, Chen Zhi grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Tao Changgongzi, the last general did not come on the order of the state pastor. However, what the last general did this time also had something to do with the state pastor. ”

"Since it was not my father's order, who gave you the courage to break into my brother's house? I'll talk about you later, my brother and I don't have time to deal with you at the moment. Tao Ying roared angrily, pointing outside the house and asking Chen Zhi to leave here.

Yaxing, who disturbed the two sons, also felt deeply guilty. However, this is the order of the lord, but as a subordinate, he has to carry it out, so the last general is also deeply troubled by this. ”

"What's going on?"

The potter frowned, and said unhappily: "Didn't you say that it wasn't your father's order to let you come, why did you say that my father asked you to come this time?" What the hell is going on, just hurry up and don't disturb my two brothers. ”

"The two sons are really embarrassed, they didn't make it clear what the last general said!"

Chen Zhi chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly: "The lord that the last general said is not Xuzhou Mu, but the new lord of the last general, the plain minister. Therefore, the last general came this time on the orders of the lord to borrow the two sons for one use, and asked the two sons to forgive me. ”

"Presumptuous, Chen is so bold to you!"

The two brothers Tao Shang and Tao Ying didn't seem to understand the situation in front of them, and after listening to Chen Dao's words, Tao Shang shouted angrily and scolded: "You are my courtier in Xuzhou, and you secretly serve Liu Bei's big-eared thief, but you didn't take my father in your eyes." I will then inform my father of this, and let him behead your dog. ”

"Haha!"

Listening to the potter's words, Chen Zhi laughed out loud. At this moment, the two brothers Tao Shang and Tao Ying glanced at each other, ran to the window on the side, and were about to flee. It seems that the two of them are not really stupid, they understand the situation in front of them, and what they just said is just to confuse Chen Dao and create an opportunity for them to escape.

"Humph!"

Looking at the position where the potter and Tao Ying broke the window and fled, Chen Zhi snorted coldly with disdain, and didn't seem to care about the escape of the two at all. A moment later, he saw that the potter and Tao Ying were escorted in by several soldiers. It turned out that in order to satisfy their perverted hobbies, the residence of the potter and Tao Ying was in a relatively remote location in Xiapi City, and there were no other people nearby. Therefore, Chen Zhi had already let his henchmen and soldiers surround the entire residence, and unless the two potter brothers could fly away, they would never be able to escape.

"The two sons, what the last general did was also well-intentioned, and it was for the well-being of the people of Xuzhou. Therefore, the last general also hopes that the two sons can cooperate with the last general and stop resisting meaninglessly. Otherwise, the last general will have to use some means at that time, and the two sons will inevitably have to suffer some hardships. ”

"Chen Dao, you dog thief, eat inside and out, you can't die well!"

"Chen, my father will rescue us sooner or later. When the time comes, we will definitely make your life worse than death!"

"The last general is also looking forward to the day when the last general will praise the state pastor. Chen Zhi said casually without care, and with a wave of his right hand, several soldiers escorted the potter and Tao Ying down. Looking at the men and women trembling in the quilt, Chen Zhi didn't even look at it, and turned around and walked out directly. When he was about to walk out of the house, he gently dropped a sentence of "kill", and he heard two muffled snorts, and there was no more sound.

At this moment, in Tao Qian's mansion, Tao Qian was also pondering in his heart.

From seeing Liu Bei when the alliance of princes was fighting for Dong, and now rescuing Xuzhou, Tao Qian suddenly reacted that Liu Bei was not a person who was willing to be subordinate. Such a person, if he is left in Xuzhou, sooner or later he will become a scourge. Therefore, Tao Qian was thinking about whether to get rid of Liu Bei. It's just that Liu Bei came to Xuzhou to support him, if he removed Liu Bei for no reason, he would inevitably be blamed by the world. After thinking for a while, Tao Qian decided to send Liu Bei to Pei County. Pei County, as the front line of the war between Xuzhou and Yanzhou, may not know when Cao Cao will attack again, so let Liu Bei guard in Pei County, which is to make the best use of everything and solve one of his troubles.

"Qiqi Prefecture Mu, Chen to the Captain to ask to see!"

Just as Tao Qian had made a decision, the voice of the cronies and soldiers outside the door sounded, but it was Chen Zhi who asked to see him. Suddenly, Tao Qian's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked the soldiers to bring Chen Zhi in. (To be continued.) )
