In the Taoyuan Essence House, there is a jar of turbid wine, several dishes of side dishes, and enough dog meat. Although the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is a small gathering, such a dish can be regarded as a sumptuous one. However, in the face of such delicacies of wine and meat, everyone attending the meeting did not take it to heart. There were still some young Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, all of whom focused their eyes on Li Qin at the opposite table, and listened attentively to what he had to say.

"The things of the world, whether simple or complicated, are caused by one reason or another. As long as you have enough information to back you up and are willing to put in the effort to think of a solution, you will always come up with a way to solve the problem. There is a saying that says, 'There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart!' 'Difficult problems can be solved in the end. Li Qin smiled and used these words as the opening remarks of his next set of strategies.

Under this almost comforting opening remarks, the hearts of Liu, Guan, and Zhang gradually calmed down.

It is still the first year of Zhongping, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have just become brothers. They encountered the Yellow Turban Uprising, and out of the ideal of protecting the territory and the people, and serving the country by thieves, they decided to gather volunteers. At this time, Liu Bei, who was the boss, was still quite simple, far from being Uncle Liu Huang, who was displaced from most of China and had a lot of city government in the future.

To put it simply, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei at this time are hot-blooded young people who are quite easy to be fooled, as long as you can grasp what they want, your words and strategies can be recognized by them, and then learned by them.

"With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world became turbulent. Originally, with Zhang Jiao's plan, it was impossible to calm down the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the short term. However, the anger of the Yellow Turban people and the participation of some people with ghosts in their hearts made the Yellow Turban Army not only completely confront the wealthy families, but also became a complete violent army, coercing the people and causing chaos in the world. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the present day issued another order, allowing the righteous people of the world to fight against the thieves - this was the root cause of the troubles in the world that followed. Li Qin narrowed his eyes and said something that made Liu, Guan, and Zhang feel a little puzzled.

"Why?" Liu Bei asked nervously and puzzled. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also showed strange expressions.

You must know that Liu Beijun's current formation is precisely because of this edict of His Majesty the Emperor. It can be said that this order is the basis for the legitimacy of Liu Beijun's existence. Without this order, Liu Beijun was only afraid that he would be regarded as a first-class rebel, although they were also trying to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, but as far as the government was concerned, they were no different from the Yellow Turbans - of course Liu Bei didn't want to do this, so he was nervous and would ask questions.

"Originally, the Yellow Turban caused such a huge momentum, but it was difficult to calm down in the short term with the military strength of the Han Central Committee. As a result, there was an edict that allowed the world to be too guarded and the righteous people to recruit soldiers independently. This edict is good for now, and under this edict, the government that has a grudge against the Yellow Turban Army will definitely have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution. In this way, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be put down within a year or two. Li Qin predicted.

Hearing him say this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both showed joy on their faces. After all, in the minds of the two of them, once the Yellow Turban Army is pacified, the world will be peaceful.

But is it really that simple? Liu Bei seemed to have thought of something, but the expression on his face was a little solemn.

"But ......" Under the different looks of everyone, Li Qin's index finger tapped the table heavily: "But after the Yellow Turban is calmed down, the situation in the world will be very different from before the Yellow Turban." Originally, the family was wealthy, but there were no soldiers. Or rather, there are soldiers, but this soldier cannot be put on the table, and he has rarely seen the army of slaves in battle. Such a force is a nuisance to a huge empire, but it is not a disease.

But after that order of His Majesty the Emperor, the powerful have an army again, you think about what it is. The right to loot money, to ensure the existence of power in the army, to support the army's money...... These three are to support the necessity of the existence of the state, and of course, to add the general righteousness. But after the emperor's order, the righteousness was given to the people, and the army was also allowed to be set up, so the huge empire became a combination of large and small territory commanders. What do you want to look like in such a situation? ”

"This ......" Hearing Li Qin say this, Liu, Guan, and Zhang all involuntarily changed color.

"Spring and Autumn Troubled Times......" Guan Yu muttered to himself.

"Princes compete for hegemony......" Zhang Fei's brows and beard were all entangled.

"Alas......" Liu Bei sighed, but there was a sense of helpless frustration. He is a smart person, what Li Qin said has not happened now, but the prerequisites for it to happen already exist, Liu Bei feels that this matter will eventually evolve like Li Qin said.

"What should I do?" Liu Bei's brain moved quickly. He tried to find a way to solve many problems, and finally thought of a possibility: "If Your Majesty after pacifying the Yellow Turban, he will change his past mistakes, reuse people of insight, and slowly solve these problems......"

"Do you think it's possible? With the personality of our Majesty? Li Qin interrupted Liu Bei's words, and involuntarily rolled his eyes: "When I traveled to Luoyang, I heard that His Majesty's body bones are already very weak. Now it is rumored in Luoyang City that His Majesty loves his young son more and plans to abolish the young son, but the existence of the great general He Jin makes His Majesty very hesitant. He Jin is now responsible for the crusade against the Yellow Turban, and he has already gotten together with those wealthy families.

The only thing our majesty can rely on is the eunuchs, and the eunuchs are extremely ruthless at the moment. It is almost foreseeable that in a few years' time, there will inevitably be a general showdown between the two, after His Majesty's return to heaven. At that time, it will depend on who is more capable. It's just that no matter which side wins...... The end result won't change much. ”

"This ...... And why? Liu Bei's momentum was a little lower. His words were interrupted by Li Qin, but he couldn't directly refute Li Qin's wrongdoing, because he knew that what Li Qin said was true. The current Son of Heaven really can't be called a saint - if he really has the ability, the world may not be like this.

"He Jin's foundation is not enough, and his ability is insufficient...... If he achieves the final victory, those wealthy families in the world, such as the Yuan family and the Yang family, may rise up against him. After all, they were allies when facing the eunuchs, but after the eunuchs fell, do you think these alliances can still exist? Li Qin smiled faintly: "If the eunuch wins the final victory, then the situation will be even worse." The people of the world will never allow eunuchs to control the imperial court. In short, in a few years, after the return of the Son of Heaven, the authority of the imperial court will decline sharply because of a change, and then it will really be a group of heroes. ”

"Alas...... This group of thieves is really uncomfortable. If you want me to say, just kill all these people and let someone like the eldest brother take power, then it's good. "Such a chaotic world, such officials with different agendas, and such a selfish wealthy family made Zhang Fei, who came into contact with these for the first time, very angry. He recognized Liu Bei, and naturally thought that when those people were not things, it was the best thing to put his eldest brother on top.

"Yide doesn't need to say much, I think there will always be heroes in the world who will come back to set things right." Zhang Fei said that Liu Bei didn't have any ideas in his heart, but he was still white at the moment, and it was very difficult to get on top of it. Liu Bei is still a little self-aware, and now he has not thought about what status and achievements he will achieve in the future. Yes, after Zhang Fei said such a paragraph, he was solemn and stopped his third brother.

"Big brother......" Zhang Fei was stopped by Liu Bei like this, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, he shouted, but he lowered his head helplessly.

"The general is really thinking too well about the future. In fact, there are still some heroes in the world and people who think they are heroes. It's just that there are too many heroes, and it's not a good thing. Heroes also have to grow, and their strength is not enough to subdue everyone in a short period of time. Yes, they also need time, they need to fight! What's even more deadly is that the hero also has his own perception of the whole world. Basically, no hero has the same view of the world. So the more heroes there are, the more tragic the fight. And the vitality of the world will be gradually consumed in the continuous fighting. Li Qin shook his head and refuted Liu Bei's statement.

"That'...... What should we do in this world? Regarding Li Qin's words, Liu Bei thought that this was indeed the truth, and he was suddenly a little confused.

This is not good, that is not possible, is the world hopeless? At present, Liu Bei's thoughts are very simple, all he wants is to save the country and save the people in this country, of course, if he can get some fame and official positions for himself and his brothers in the process, and revitalize his family business, it would be better.

In fact, none of the founding kings of the country was obtained for this position of emperor in the first place. Emperor Guangwu, the Great Demon Master Liu Xiu, wanted to be the ruling Jinwu at the earliest; In the face of the prestige of the First Emperor, Liu Bang, who said that the eldest husband should be like this, initially just wanted to have the luxurious enjoyment of the First Emperor - they didn't think too much about it at that time, but the development of the situation finally pushed them to the supreme position.

This was the case before, and Liu Bei is like this now, and the ideals they have now are still a little different from those they had later. That's why he was so anxious after Li Qin predicted the darkness of the future.

What to do? He looked at Li Qin anxiously.

"The general himself has a heart to save the world. The future is so dark and chaotic, why don't the generals try to become the strongest among them, the most able force to set things right. There are many heroes in the world, but generals can become heroes above heroes, so that they can finally surrender. Li Qin said.

"Can I do this?" Liu Bei is still a little unconfident.

"It should be fine! I believe in my vision, and please believe in yourself, and believe in me. Li Qin said earnestly.

Hearing Li Qin say this, Liu Bei suddenly fell silent. He thought about it a lot, but the sparkle in his eyes became clearer and clearer. Eventually, he nodded heavily: "Of course I will believe you." As he spoke, he turned to his two brothers: "Second brother, third brother, I want to ask Mr. Li Qin to be my mastermind, what do you think?" ”

Everyone is white, and Liu Bei is just their brother-in-law, although they have become brothers, but they are not so reliable to say that they are familiar, so on top of such a big event, Liu Bei still needs the consent of the two brothers.

"I will obey my brother's orders." Guan Yu solemnly clenched his fists.

Although he did not yet know how well Li Qin was fighting the war, it was indeed quite convincing in terms of the overall picture he had shown so far. Guan Yu, who fled to the rivers and lakes because of murder, has also seen many scholars who have traveled to study, and he has also heard their views on the world, at that time he also thought that the reason why the world was uneasy was nothing more than the lawlessness of corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry, as long as he killed them, the world would be peaceful, but after listening to what Li Qin said now, he realized that things are not so simple. Many things, but behind the fog on the surface, there are deep reasons.

"This young man seems to have seen through the contradictions in the world, and since this is the case, he must have a solution to the contradictions." Guan Yu thought about it, and decided to give Li Qin a chance to try.

"Hey, such a great man. I was very impressed when I heard it, and I had a feeling of enlightenment. Big brother, such a talent, we can't let it go. "Zhang Fei's idea is very simple. He just admired Li Qin a little, and naturally wanted to pull Li Qin to his brother's side.

"Okay!" Since the two righteous brothers expressed their recognition of Li Qin, Liu Bei stood up from above and bowed his hand to Li Qin, and bent down: "Please also ask Mr. to help me." ”

"Well said, well said!" Li Qin hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, which can be regarded as an endorsement of the relationship between the two parties.

After that, the two sides sat down again. Liu Bei directly asked about the current situation: "Mr. said about the future development, which made me suddenly. It's just that after all, it is a change in the future, and people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. In my mind, things have to be done one by one. I would like to ask my husband, what exactly am I going to do now? ”

"Crusade against the Yellow Turbans, build fame and deeds; Befriend eunuchs and be strong in order to obtain official positions and real power. In the future, it will be a chaotic time when the princes are fighting, and if the lord wants to become a hero among the heroes of the world, he must have his own territory as soon as possible. Li Qin said very seriously: "Defeating the Yellow Turban Army and making military exploits can give us a good reputation, and befriending eunuchs can turn such a reputation into benefits." ”

"Isn't this a traitor?" Zhang Fei shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

"There's no way around it. His Majesty the Emperor trusted the eunuchs more than the officials and ministers. Sometimes eunuchs can't help you do some great things, but it is not difficult to ruin your career and erase your merits. Li Qin said lightly: "The world is not so simple. ”

"Sir has a point. Winged virtue is not to be vain. Liu Bei nodded approvingly. He also understands how good things are. It's just that he also has difficulties: "Sir, if you want to make friends with eunuchs, you need money, and you are civilians, although the third brother has assets, but after entangling the volunteers, there is absolutely not much left, how can you have the ability to make friends with those people?" ”

"I'll leave this to me." Li Qin smiled and took it up: "My lord, now I just need to straighten out the soldiers and horses, go to visit Liu Yan, the state assassin, as soon as possible, get his approval, and join the government side." Liu Yan is also a clan member of the Han family, and the lord can talk about the sect with him, and in the current situation where the yellow turban thieves are powerful, Liu Yan will also try to win over the lord. Li Qin suggested again.

"Hmmm! I understand......" Liu Bei nodded seriously. In terms of how to persuade others and gain others' good impression of him, Liu Bei still has a lot of experience.
