Chapter 44: The horseshoe goes north and the people look north

In later generations, when Cao Apu was sprayed with a medical miracle by Chen Kongzhang, a divine doctor of Zu'an, he once said:

Those who have literary affairs will be helped by force. Although Chen Lin's literary affairs are good, he is as lacking as Yuan Shaowu's strategy!

Although this has not happened yet, the principle has always been universal.

Although Li Suwen is good, he will also use Liu Bei Wu to help him!

Of course, Liu Bei also understood, so after receiving the holy decree, he felt the trust of the imperial court, and he also felt a lot of pressure.

With one of the world's most powerful amplifier magnifiers in hand, you also have to make sure that the multiplier itself cannot be zero.

If the multiplier is zero, no matter how high the magnification is, the multiplier will still be zero.

"I can't live up to the great fame situation created by Boya. This time, I have to make meritorious contributions, so that the princes of the court can see that I am not right to repair the palace money! ”

The moment he took the will, Liu Bei was thinking about it in his heart.

However, the other companions around him are not so conscious for the time being.

As soon as the angel left, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong rushed up happily, hugged each other, and patted their backs to celebrate-

As an aside, Jian Yong and Liu Bei are young, they knew each other before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when Liu Bei was the county lieutenant of Anxi, Jian Yong also followed him.

It's just that Jian Yong doesn't have a force value, so when Liu Bei took Li Su and others to run north and south and become the first envoy, he never took him with him.

In the middle, Jian Yong was left to dry for a month, and it was not until Liu Bei abandoned the official and returned to Zhuo County to organize volunteers that he recalled Jian Yong, who had taken enough vacation, back to his side again.

From this point of view, Jian Yong's experience in following Liu Bei is longer than that of Li Su, but his current talent and trust have obviously been far overshadowed by Li Su. Jian Yong can also help Liu Bei deal with some simple clerical work, plus be a messenger and accompany the leader to talk about meat jokes.

"Big brother, it's rare to have such a happy day, we must drink a few buckets per person, and rest when we get drunk!" Zhang Fei directly carried a few jars of fine wine, and was about to start drinking.

Liu Bei's face was solemn: "Third brother, Xianhe, don't be impatient!" Now is not the time to be complacent. Boya has created this opportunity for us, and we should be even more vigilant and contribute to the country, so as to live up to this name! Now go to Taishou first, hand over the official position, and wait until you get to the office, finish rectifying the people, and then it's not too late to drink. ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei took out another appointment from the imperial court and a private letter sent to him by Li Su, and opened them one by one - the holy edict just now was only aimed at "exempting the palace repair money", and it had nothing to do with the appointment of officials. The appointment is still recorded in the imperial edict signed by Situ.

In addition, Li Su also sent his own soldier Liu Dun to send a private letter back to Liu Bei, asking Liu Dun to follow the angel and make a cameo appearance as the escort of the team to deliver the letter.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused, my eldest brother is going to be transferred to another county, it's not too late for us to drink when we take office! How can you drink alcohol and miss office? Zhang Fei also reacted and quickly admitted his mistake.

Because they are now receiving the appointment and will in Zhuo County, Zhuo County is the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and in the past month, they have been robbing and robbing thieves under Zhang Chun, who has come to attack and harass in Zhuo County.

And the imperial court is now appointing Liu Bei as the commander of Liangxiang County, Liangxiang is in the northwest of Zhuo County, and it is also the northernmost border county of Zhuo County, so they have to rush to take office on the same day.

While Zhang Fei and Jian Yong were tidying up and saluting, Liu Bei was looking at the appointment documents and Li Su's letters.

Seeing the back, Liu Bei was slightly overjoyed and greeted: "Yide!" Good news! Finally, I didn't let you follow me for three years in vain, so let's take it and see it - I will award you the lieutenant of Liangxiang County, with a rank of 300 stones. ”

Zhang Fei was gathering people, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly came over to see: "I'm also an official?" In fact...... It's the same with the big brother. This, what kind of official is the second brother......"

Liu Bei: "Yun Chang has not been awarded an official for the time being, after all, he stayed in Jingshi and secretly protected Boya, no better than you and me returning to my hometown and organizing the township to fight against thieves." However, in the future, if there is an errand and there is a chance to make meritorious service, sooner or later he will be awarded an official. ”

How embarrassing that is! Zhang Fei was a little reluctant to go.

Liu Bei glanced at him, although Zhang Fei didn't say anything, but his own brother, Liu Bei knew him too well, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, there is Boya in the capital, as long as there is an errand, Yun Chang will definitely have a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Boya, this person, is too capable of doing things, you, the county lieutenant, actually don't have many anti-thief exploits in the imperial court. It was he who entrusted someone to make three million, and guessed and added to the merits as appropriate, and he pushed the boat down the river. On Yun Chang's side, as long as he seizes the opportunity to do the same, is there any discord? ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then put Li Su's private message on the oil lamp and burned it.

Because in the letter, Li Su also said that he spent 8 million to get him an "amnesty". This matter needs to be kept secret and cannot be known by anyone other than the parties, so on the way to send it, the letter was also sealed with fire paint wax oil, and Liu Bei also checked it before opening it, so that no outsiders would peek at it.

Therefore, after Liu Bei read the letter, he actually knew in his heart what the truth was that "the emperor pardoned him without giving money", and he also knew that Li Su actually spent more. also knew that Liu Yu had help in this matter, because it involved Liu Yu's name, so it was even more necessary to keep it secret.

After knowing this, Liu Bei was still very open-minded, and still felt that "how much money Boya needs to give him in the future, there is no need to ask about the specific purpose." These money are not clear, only full trust, can reap the miraculous effect of Han Gaozu to Chen Ping.

In the letter, Li Su also pretended to be "news from the imperial court", saying that His Majesty was very likely to set up a state pastor in the near future, and to take Liu Yu as the state pastor, and take care of Liu Bei These days, he will have a good relationship with Liu Yu's former officials, show himself more, and strive for meritorious service.

Of course, these words were made up by Li Su through his prophet, but in fact, the imperial court has not yet revealed such rumors. Even Liu Yan, the main owner of the "Abolition of History Limu", has no bottom in his heart.

However, Li Su wrote it in the secret letter, but Liu Bei was convinced of it, and he really thought that he had found the inside information in Beijing-

Li Sulian deceived His Majesty's amnesty decree, which is a difficult thing against the sky, can be guided by the situation, used by Liu Yan and Liu Yu, and promoted it together by pretending to be a coincidence between the two Jiuqing-level bigwigs.

In contrast, is it difficult to inquire about the inside secrets of the imperial court?

With the credit value that Li Su has now accumulated in Liu Bei's heart, even if Li Su tells the inside story that is ten times more powerful, it is estimated that Liu Bei will believe it unconditionally.

In this way, although Li Su was not by Liu Bei's side and could not help him give advice on specific military issues, he could provide more political foresight.

In the officialdom of Youzhou, who should be close to, who to befriend and who to cooperate with to make meritorious contributions, Li Su pretended to be an intelligence source, and correctly guided and controlled Liu Bei.

This is the advantage of staying in Beijing and pretending to be close to the water.

……

When Zhang Fei heard that his county lieutenant had also spent money, he was still a little unhappy, muttering a few words, saying that now is not the time to make such a name. With these three million, it is better to recruit two more soldiers and horses and build two more weapons.

It's not that Zhang Fei doesn't have an official addiction, but he also knows the priorities, in his opinion, how can an official position be cost-effective for his subordinates to lead hundreds of more soldiers? As long as the soldiers are strong and strong, even if there is no official position, it is not majestic?

Liu Bei educated him a few words, saying that Li Su naturally has his strategy, just trust it, Zhang Fei stopped talking, and he went straight to the real fragrance.

Anyway, Liu Bei's lesson has alleviated the embarrassment and embarrassment of "Guan Yu has no official, he has an official first".

After a while, 2,000 people were gathered, and Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Jian Yong, and all the family members and luggage of the two families to leave the city and go to Liangxiang in the north to take office.

Two thousand men and horses went out of the city, and the movement was so great.

Zhuo County is the county of this county, so Zhuo County is too guarded by Han Zhuo, and he also personally went to the gate of the city to see Liu Bei off.

When Liu Bei saw it, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

After becoming the county magistrate of Liangxiang, Han Zhuo was Liu Bei's top boss.

What's more, Liu Bei's filial piety was recommended by Han Zhuo by Liu Yu, and of course Liu Bei had to give face.

In the Han Dynasty, others praised you for filial piety, which was a very great kindness.

The reason why the fourth and third princes of Yuan Shao's family have so many connections is because those protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all raised by Yuan Shao's grandfather and uncles to promote filial piety and honesty, and the other party still has to repay the kindness of the Yuan family when he becomes an official.

"How dare Lao Fujun see him off in person! The kindness of the prince is unforgettable. Liu Bei stepped forward to talk.

Han Zhuo didn't take credit, after all, he was also instructed by his benefactor Liu Yu to do this, so his speaking posture was very official: "There is no need to be polite, a certain is just to observe filial piety, and the official position is determined by the imperial court." When you go to a good country this time, the burden is not light. Lieutenant Shan of this county, you also know that Gong Qihou died in battle at the beginning of last month.

A few days ago, Zou Jing, the captain of the thief school, summoned the commanders of the three counties of Ben County, Guangyang, and Yuyang to patrol along the water, so as to first intercept Zhang Chun and the Wuhuan rebels in the upper valley so that they would not erode. There are no other soldiers and horses in this county, so when you arrive in Liangxiang, you must be careful! ”

In the war years, there are generals who can fight, and they still have to be relied on. Han Zhuo also suffered some losses before because of the soldiers and horses of Zhuojun, and he spoke politely.

Liu Bei arched his hand: "The prince of the palace can rest assured, but if he is prepared, he will definitely block the water valley road and prevent the rebels from returning to Yanshan." ”
