Chapter 1388: Dreams

People don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

Although Liu Bei didn't know this sentence, he didn't want to be a salted fish since he was a child.

Liu Bei is really not very lucky, and even his family situation is about the same, although he himself shouts every day that he is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but this name is in the Han Dynasty, just like the successor of so-and-so, he was very serious when he was young, and the older the person, the more inappropriate it is.

When he was the poorest, he could only take the depreciated straw sandals of the old lady to the market for food, but even in modern society, the CEOs of large enterprises rarely followed Ma Ma to practice stalls since childhood, so Liu Bei will still be called a shoe seller behind his back......

This background, in the Han Dynasty, which paid attention to the family and the scriptures, was very disadvantaged. The family is the foundation of a person's life, and Liu Bei doesn't even have a family, he expressed his ambition to his uncle, but in exchange for not appreciation, nor funding, but a slap: "Don't lie, destroy my family!" ”

The background is not good, and then the prestige of others may also be a way out, but Liu Bei only left the evaluation of "not very happy to read, like dogs and horses, music, and beautiful clothes" in Lu Zhi's place.

Does Lu Zhi like Liu Bei?

Dislike.

So why do you keep it if you don't like it? Even if it is not taught, it is not restricted?

Young people, it is natural to like to have fun, but such comments also prove that Liu Bei actually belongs to the status of the denominator among all the disciples who follow Lu Zhi to study, and it is just a number, perhaps in other words, Lu Zhi needs fame, and Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan and other teenagers who have no birth name are just a ladder for Lu Zhi to ascend to the position of Confucian......

Confucianism pays attention to education, and without the work of education, how can it be called a great Confucian?

Therefore, Sima Hui is only so old, and he is still willing to travel thousands of miles to Shoushan Academy. Although Lu Zhi is an upright person, he also needs to leave something for the family, and these disciples, even nominal disciples, are a great resource. So even if Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others like dogs and horses all day long and don't like to read, as long as they don't bump into their faces, Lu Zhi has the right to treat it as if they didn't see it.

Otherwise, Lu Zhi, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan are not related, so why bother with these thoughts?

To each according to his needs.

The young Liu Bei may really like to play, but more of it is just doing what he likes, and it is obvious that such a measure is very effective. Perhaps it was the children of the poor who were in charge early, Liu Bei's behavior of following Gongsun Zhan, who was freshly dressed and angry, was actually similar to the behavior of holding the thighs of local tyrants and begging for pendants in later generations......

Liu Bei is like a gambler who finally got on the gambling table, tightly squeezing the few chips in his hand, making risky bets again and again, and his last capital is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who follow him.

Liu Bei in the process of betting, there are losses and wins, but every time he bets, Liu Bei will be silently pondered for a long time, and the gains and losses will be summed up, from the yellow turban thief, Liu Bei learned how to go out, in the sour jujube alliance, Liu Bei learned how to forbear, in Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei learned how to get out, in Tao Qian, Liu Bei learned how to check and balance......

And now, according to Liu Bei's experience, things are not as beautiful as the Holy Decree says.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Lu Zhu and others were in the small courtyard, excited and irrepressible, but after seeing Liu Bei's face turned around, they smiled one by one, and several strategists seemed to be aware of the problem......

To be honest, the strategists under Liu Bei now are all half a bucket of water, or they may not even have half a bucket of water.

Jian Yong, so talkative, like a lobbyist more than a strategist, maybe it is appropriate to use it as an envoy, but let him give advice, this, hehe, the weather is good today.

Sun Qian and Lu Zhu both followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou. Unlike Lu Zhu's kind of situation where he lost to the extreme because he bet too much, Sun Qian really felt that Liu Bei was a good person, in line with Sun Gan's ideal leader image in his original study of scriptures, but this also doomed Sun Qian to be good at political documents, but not good at strategy.

Moose, not to mention, is nothing more than an unsuccessful businessman.

However, when the three stinkers got together, they gradually tasted the taste.

"The key is money and food...... Lu Zhu sighed.

Sun Qianer sighed.

Jian Yong sighed.

Guan Yu sank his face, and Zhang Fei looked left and right.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, in fact, we've improved a lot now, aren't we?" Money and food, think about it slowly, there is always a way, don't hurry, don't hurry......"

Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "If you fail to worry about the king, you will ...... to do it."

Jian Yong glanced at Sun Qian, this guy still couldn't speak like that, and then said: "Envoy, how much does the imperial court have to allocate some?" Why don't you go to Shangshutai and try it? ”

"Shangshutai is all in the hands of Cao Sikong, if he doesn't speak, who can call the shots?" Lu Zhu said on the side.

Sun Qian said: "Isn't Your Majesty's will not work? ”

Jian Yong laughed twice.

Elk Zhu didn't even smile.

Guan Yu still had a calm face, and Zhang Fei was still looking left and right.

"Don't be in a hurry...... Liu Bei smiled, "How can you say that today is also a happy event, third brother, you and Zhizhong go to the city market, buy some wine and meat, and share it with the guards...... Xianhe, if you have time, you might as well walk around and listen to the wind...... This matter of the handover of the seal of the imperial court, please leave it to the princess......"

"Be polite."

"It should serve the envoy."

A group of people who got the task left one after another.

Liu Bei smiled, looking at the backs of everyone leaving, but the tears in the corners of his eyes slipped down.

"Big brother......" Guan Yu said with concern on the side.

Liu Bei hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said, "It's okay, I'm just happy......"

"Big brother......" Guan Yu's eyebrows also trembled slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay," Liu Bei smiled, "Isn't that good...... A long-cherished wish for many years can be regarded as a fulfillment today...... When I go back to Zhuoxian, I will have the face to see my father and old man...... It's a good thing, it's a good thing......"

Guan Yu listened and was silent, but his heart was sour. As a state pastor of a well-known state in the world, he only wants to have some face in front of his hometown fathers, which in itself is not a pleasant thing in itself.

If it was a peaceful period, this Yuzhou Mu would simply be a first-class noble authority in the world, but now, there can only be two words left.

Yuzhou is now torn apart. Yingchuan was naturally in the hands of Cao Cao, as well as Chen and Liang, and Runan was divided into three pieces, one in the hands of Jingxiang Liu Biao, one in the hands of Runan Yellow Turban Thieves, and the remaining one in the hands of Yuan Shu. The state of Lu is now a battlefield, and Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shu's army cannot compete for it.

Under such circumstances, where is Liu Bei, the hot, fresh and hot Yuzhou Mu, going? Where are you willing to obey Liu Bei's management?

Moreover, among Yuzhou, there is not only Liu Bei, the state pastor, but also the Yuzhou Thorn History of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu......

Therefore, the current Yuzhou is simply a mess, and it is like a mud pond that has been mixed with incomparable, even if Liu Bei's heart is higher than the sky, he still has to fall into the mud and dust to face such a chaotic and cruel reality.

"It's better than nothing......" Liu Bei smiled, a bitter smile.

Guan Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I just don't know if this will is His Majesty's intention or ......"

"Your Majesty?" Liu Bei shook his head and didn't continue to say anything.

After coming to Xuchang for so long, Liu Bei has seen Liu Xie several times, but Liu Bei is still not optimistic about Liu Xie. is too young, and many things remain in an ideal state, although it is much better than those emperors who have not experienced any pain and difficulties at all, and can only shout why not eat minced meat, but it is impossible to rely on Liu Xie to change the current status quo alone.

Even if it is pushed up by one generation, the things in Emperor Han Ling cannot be changed.

The huge system of Shandong scholars, from the court to the locality, from the central government to the countryside, these people use marriage, clan, protΓ©gΓ©, and money to build a huge system......

These scholars shout slogans more than heaven and earth on weekdays, but they do not hesitate at all when they really exploit and suck blood, and they are heartbroken when they pay more than five baht in taxes to the imperial court, and they don't blink an eye in the construction of their own estates.

The people are still in awe of the Han Dynasty, but these scholars have long been without reverence, maybe Emperor Heng Lingdi's party behavior is not very appropriate, but Liu Bei believes that there is no other way.

Over the years, Liu Bei has heard a lot of local scholars advocating the system of the ancient Zhou Dynasty, advocating the equality and freedom of the scholars and ministers, and some people even suggested that local rights could be decentralized, so that each county and county would have greater authority, as if in this way, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not be repeated, and the world would be peaceful.

But in fact, Liu Bei knew that if he really did this, the Han Dynasty would be over!

But the problem is that Liu Bei is the beneficiary of such decentralization, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to become a thorn and a state pastor......

This contradiction in cognition and behavior made Liu Bei very confused.

"The holy decree has the seal of the Shang Shutai...... Liu Bei said, "If the Shang Shutai does not agree, this holy decree will not be issued." Liu Bei only met Liu Xie two days ago, and Liu Xie didn't mention this matter at all at that time, so the idea of who was behind this will was obvious.

Guan Yu stood on his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed, he lifted his long hair, and snorted coldly: "I thought that Cao Sikong was loyal to the country, but now it seems that ...... Hum! ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and motioned to Guan Yu not to say such things. But Liu Bei also knew in his heart that this Yuzhou pastor was just to offset his original position as Xuzhou pastor.

Hey, so to speak......

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart moved slightly, but before he could fully figure it out, a shout came from outside the hospital: "Cao Sikong is visiting!" ”

"Poof", Liu Bei's little heart jumped violently.

Before Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao this time, in fact, Liu Bei had already known Cao Cao.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still in power, Liu Bei relied on the name of Lu Zhi's disciple to blend into the Taixue of Luoyang, and soon met Yuan Shao, who deliberately befriended the chivalrous warriors at that time, and also met Cao Cao, who was by Yuan Shao's side at that time......

Later, when Cao Cao served as the captain of the military academy, he was ordered to go to Peiguo to recruit troops, and Liu Bei went together, but because of the joint cooperation of He Jin and Yuan Kui, on the one hand, he mixed sand inside, and on the other hand, he secretly obstructed it, and Emperor Ling of Han's Xiyuan Eighth Captain became a joke after all, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei's recruitment plan in Peiguo was not completed.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are old acquaintances.

Of course, it's definitely not the same.

"Meet Sikong!" Liu Bei hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, stood on the left side of the road, and slammed to the ground.

Liu Bei still knows a little about Cao Cao, and Liu Bei feels that Cao Cao is one of the most terrible ministers in the Han Dynasty at the moment, perhaps even more terrifying than Yuan Shao......

Cao Cao came this time, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

What Liu Bei is good at in his life is to deal with people, for Liu Bei, although Yuan Shao is very authoritative, but his ears are soft, as long as he holds it high, generally speaking, Yuan Shao will not be intentionally embarrassed, but Cao Cao is different.

Don't look at Cao Cao, he also seems to be smiling often, but behind his smile, Liu Bei feels the increasingly deep coldness, simply accompanying him to say good things, which is effective on Yuan Shao's side, but here in Cao Cao, it has no effect at all, under Cao Cao's slender eyes, it seems that there is always a flickering gaze of doubt.

Cao Cao smiled, got out of the canopy car, pulled Liu Bei up, patted Liu Bei's arm, and said kindly: "How is Brother Xian lately?" A certain business is busy, and he can't have the leisure to see the virtuous brother, which is really a certain fault! Today, I heard that the virtuous brother was blessed with the grace of God and was awarded the title of Yuzhou Pastor, and I came to congratulate him! ”

As soon as Cao Cao got out of the car, Liu Bei suddenly felt a sense of oppression. Although in terms of figure, Liu Bei was taller than Cao Cao, but when Cao Cao stood in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei involuntarily bent his waist, as if he was pressed on his shoulders by a mountain.

Without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, refuse or thank him, Cao Cao had already turned his head and ordered: "Send the congratulatory gift!" ”

The wrestlers who followed immediately moved the gold, jade, silk and other valuables he was carrying to Liu Bei's mansion, and the colorful floating wealth of this burden immediately attracted the envy of many people.

"How can I make Cao Gong break the ......" Liu Bei saw this, and hurriedly said, "How can you have the face to receive a generous gift from Cao Gong if you haven't made any achievements?" Don't ...... it"

Cao Cao laughed, patted Liu Bei's arm gently, and said, "Liu Yuzhou is His Majesty's most important minister, so there is no need to be humble...... These are just mundane things, how can they compare to the friendship between you and me......"

Friendship?

Liu Bei's heart jumped, could it be that Cao Cao didn't know about it back then?
