Chapter 957: Sympathy
As a prince, Liu Zhang is not really incapacitated, so he introduced Liu Bei into Yizhou, and borrowed Liu Bei's hand to solve his internal hidden dangers and achieve the goal of stabilizing Yizhou. The plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger is easy to play, which shows Liu Zhang's strength.
Liu Zhang is not easy, a single Nanban has caused a lot of harm to Yizhou, plus the local officials and generals are all disobedient to Liu Zhangyang, and at the same time very incompetent, otherwise, Liu Zhang's Yizhou will not be the current situation.
It's a pity that Liu Zhang's ability is like this, and he can't think of other ways, but he can do his best to do a good job in the position of state pastor, which is already very rare.
It's a bit of a stretch.
Let's talk about Liu Bei's side.
Liu Bei entered Wuling County in Yizhou by water, and was courteous to the guard, so that he was stationed in Wuling County. Liu Bei's luck is good, the county commanders and guards of Wuling County are loyal to Liu Zhang, if he is someone else, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for Liu Bei to set foot in Yizhou.
Although Liu Bei entered the ground in Yizhou, he still didn't have any sense of security.
Wuling County was too close to the ground in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei had to worry about whether Liu Yu of Jingzhou would send troops to attack him all the time. This thing is not impossible, only by constantly distancing himself from Liu Yu can Liu Bei have a sense of peace of mind. But at present, it seems that Liu Bei's worries will continue.
Xu Shu saw this, and he listed many reasons why Liu Yu could not send troops to come, including subjective and objective factors such as the fatigue of the soldiers, the lack of food and grass, and the cold winter. It barely made Liu Bei's unstable heart stabilize a little.
Wuling County is a small place, because merchants come and go constantly, so that although the place is small but prosperous, the people's faces are much better than what Liu Bei saw in other places. Liu Bei found that the people here seemed to be relatively mild. Isn't this nonsense, this place is rich, the people live well, their stomachs are full, and whoever has nothing to do is looking for trouble. In troubled times, there is nothing more important than being able to live and eat well.
Liu Bei seemed to feel something for a moment, and felt that his pursuit over the years was not to make the people of the world like the people here?
It's just that so many troops suddenly came, which led to changes in Wuling County. The merchants were all profit-seeking, and they found that there were so many troops in Wuling County, probably going to war, so they immediately stopped their plans to pass through Wuling County and changed their routes one after another.
The magistrates and guards of Wuling County all knew about this, but they could only watch now. Because before Fei Guan went to contact Liu Bei, he gave them Liu Zhang's secret order, requiring them to be treated well when Liu Bei entered Yizhou. If you slack off, be careful of the head. With such a premise, the magistrate and guard of Wuling County could only hold their noses and admit it. However, in order to avoid the people's livelihood from withering too much, the magistrate and the guard general still settled Liu Bei's army in a remote place, and some of the grain and grass supply was borne by Wuling County. Why did the magistrate and the guard of Wuling County have so much courage to dare to undertake Liu Bei's supply of grain and grass. On the one hand, Yizhou is rich, and although Wuling County is a county seat, the grain and grass in the treasury are very sufficient. On the other hand, when Liu Bei entered Wuling County, there were only less than 8,000 soldiers and horses, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people. As long as he is not stationed in Wuling County for a long time, Wuling County can still meet the supply of grain and grass on Liu Bei's side.
It's a pity that even the magistrate and the guard general of Wuling County are very polite to Liu Bei, entertaining them with big fish and meat every day, and even because of the cold weather, they prepared several beauties for Liu Bei to warm the bed. Big fish and big meat, Liu Bei must accept it, and he hasn't eaten a good meal for a long time. When he was in the public security, although Sun Ce said that he was meeting Liu Bei's various needs, the amount of grain and grass was counted, which made it impossible for Liu Bei to live a luxurious life at all. Good wine and good meat, Liu Bei will naturally not be polite. But when it was warm, Liu Bei could only refuse. It's not that he, Liu Bei, is noble, but Liu Bei is powerless now. The county magistrate of Wuling County thought that Liu Bei had a very high taste, and he couldn't look down on this kind of rouge and vulgar powder, so he couldn't help but be in awe of Liu Bei. This is the one who has seen the world, and a small place like Wuling County naturally can't satisfy Uncle Liu Huang.
If Liu Bei knew that the other party thought like this, he would definitely find a place to cry silently, he didn't know how many times he hadn't touched a woman, and now even if there was a free delivery to the door, Liu Bei couldn't help it, he couldn't get up below, Liu Bei could only sigh secretly.
Liu Bei's days in Wuling County are like this, every day he is entertained by the county magistrate and the guard, and he usually wanders around in Wuling County when he is idle, and understands the local local customs. It's just that such days are really uncomfortable, without Liu Zhang's order, Liu Bei can't take a step out of Wuling County.
After several days of such boring days, Li Yan and his party finally came to Wuling County.
When Liu Bei heard the news, he jumped three feet high, Liu Zhang finally sent someone over, and he could finally leave this small place, he Liu Bei was tired of staying here.
So Liu Bei gathered all the civil and military forces under his command and went to meet the envoy sent by Liu Zhang.
Li Yan came to Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and at the same time, Fu Shiren and Yi also reunited with Liu Bei.
"My lord, I'm finally reunited with you. Hearing that there has been a change in Jingzhou, the two of us are worried all the time. Fu Shiren said excitedly.
Yi Ji said: "The lord is blessed with all the heavens, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”
The two sang and harmonized, constantly telling their thoughts about Liu Bei. They thought that Liu Bei also missed them very much.
But they thought it was crooked. Liu Bei didn't miss them, but felt angry at seeing them red-faced and slightly blessed. Liu Bei, who was the lord, worked desperately with the enemy on the front line, and almost put the whole family on board, you guys are good, you have a good life in Yizhou, your look and body are much stronger than Liu Bei.
Xu Shu felt Liu Bei's abnormality and knew that Liu Bei would definitely be in a bad mood if Fu Shiren and Yi Yuan continued to talk, so he interjected and said, "The two adults haven't introduced the adults behind them, so we can't snub the distinguished guests." ”
Fu Shiren and Yi Ji immediately reacted and said, "It's all my fault." The lord, this is Li Zhengfang and Lord Li who were sent by Liu Yizhou to greet the lord. ”
Liu Bei immediately changed his face, came to Li Yan with a respectful face, and said: "Liu Bei has seen Lord Li, he talked to his subordinates just now, and almost snubbed the adult, and I hope the adult will forgive me." ”
"Why did Uncle Liu Huang say this. Uncle Liu Huang and his subordinates are like brothers, and they have been separated for a long time, and they must have endless words. This is a true temperament, and it's too late for the lower officials to envy it? Li Yan was also very respectful.
Liu Bei still has the eye to see people, he can feel Li Yan's sincerity, it seems that the Yizhou scholars have a good impression of themselves. But Liu Bei still wanted to be sure, so he asked: "Lord Li is famous, Liu Bei has heard of it. As soon as he saw Lord Li, Liu Bei felt very cordial, I don't know where Lord Li's ancestor came from? ”
That's right, this era pays attention to a background, and Liu Bei has suffered such a loss before. It's just that Liu Bei has also been in the limelight, and he still understands the unspoken rules of officialdom. In fact, Liu Bei wants to know if Li Yan is just the head snake in Yizhou, if so, Liu Bei will definitely try his best to win over and give a good impression to the Yizhou scholars. If not, Liu Bei will also make friends, after all, it is rare for someone to respect him, and Liu Bei does not want to miss any talent.
In fact, Liu Bei really thought wrong, Li Yan was not a native of Yizhou at all.
"Xia Guan is from Nanyang." Li Yan reported his origin.
Liu Bei sighed in his heart, why is he not from Yizhou, but Liu Bei's face was extremely excited, took Li Yan's hand, and said emotionally: "It turns out that Zhengfang is a person from Nanyang." Liu Bei was governing Nanyang at the beginning, and Liu Bei was deeply impressed by the style of Nanyang scholars. No wonder there is a sense of familiarity with the square, it turns out that the square has the style of the Nanyang scholars. You and I are really destined. ”
This is really shameless, what to govern Nanyang, what Liu Bei did in Nanyang can be said to be a scourge, and the current people of Nanyang are eager to swallow Liu Bei alive. Only Liu Bei's thick skin can say such shameless words.
"I see, the hometown father can be governed by the emperor's uncle, it is really a blessing for three lives." Of course, Li Yan didn't know what Liu Bei did in Nanyang.
The two complimented each other, Liu Bei asked Liu Zhang about some things, and Li Yan told Liu Zhang's expectations for Liu Bei. Liu Bei had some understanding of this brother of the same clan who had not met for a long time. Li Yan's favor for Liu Bei has risen in a straight line, and Liu Bei also sees that Li Yan has real talent and learning, and he has no strength, how can he answer in front of Liu Bei. At the same time, Liu Bei's subordinates, including Wei Yan and others, all have a good impression of Li Yan, in fact, as long as they respect Liu Bei, they all have a good impression, after all, few people will respect Liu Bei so much now.
Li Yan finally returned to the topic and said, "Uncle Huang, my lord is looking forward to Uncle Huang day and night. Please also ask the imperial uncle to go to Chengdu immediately, lest my lord fall in love day and night. ”
"Yes, how can I make Ji Yu wait for a long time." Liu Bei didn't want to stay in this small place for a long time.
So, Liu Bei ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and march towards Chengdu.
Li Yan walked side by side with Liu Bei and swaggered on the official road to Chengdu. Along the way, Li Yan and Liu Bei complimented each other, talked and laughed, which made people envious.
As Liu Bei's military division, Xu Shu was beside Fu Shiren and Yi and constantly asked about various situations in Yizhou. The two of them also told everything they knew one by one. But Fu Shiren and Yi barely moved around in Chengdu, and they got very little information, which made Xu Shu a little disappointed.
Xu Shu said suspiciously: "The two of you have been in Yizhou for so long, haven't you walked around?" ”
Of course, Fu Shiren would not say that the two of them were confused by the good life arranged by Liu Zhang in Chengdu, so he said: "Military advisor, this Liu Zhang is not simple. He was very courteous to us and the two of us at the beginning, and all arrangements were very thoughtful. But Liu Zhang didn't allow me and the other two to move around. When I received the news from the lord, I wanted to rush here, but I couldn't even get out of the Chengdu gate. ”
"Is there such a thing!?" Xu Shu was a little shocked, this was different from what he had thought before.
Yi Ji said: "Military advisor, I learned from the investigation that the various forces in Yizhou have different attitudes towards the lord. Among them, the forces led by Zhang Song and the local scholars in Yizhou were the most dissatisfied with the lord. I'm afraid I'll be constrained everywhere in Yizhou. ”
This is the truth, and Xu Shu did not doubt the authenticity of this statement. But the plan changed, and Xu Shu had to calculate the gains and losses.
Looking at Xu Shu's pensive expression, Fu Shiren and Yi Ji both felt that they had been entrusted with it.
Xu Shu thought a lot in a short period of time, but after thinking about it, this key point is still in his own strength, and if the Yizhou scholars target their side everywhere, then it will be a little difficult to expand their strength by borrowing chickens and eggs.
At this time, Xu Shu glanced at Li Yan, who was talking and laughing with Liu Bei, and already had a way in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.
People who are familiar with Xu Shu know that Xu Shu looks like this, and they know that Xu Shu is confident.
When the other civil and military saw Xu Shu's expression, they instantly became much more relieved.
Li Yan looked back at Xu Shu and found that this person had an extraordinary temperament and a heroic force that others did not have, so he asked Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, I don't know who that heroic person is?" ”
Liu Bei followed Li Yan's eyes and knew that what Li Yan saw was Xu Shu, and it seemed that Xu Shu couldn't keep a low profile. Xu Shu's temperament is different from other strategists, he is the kind that can go into battle to kill the enemy, Li Yan can feel the difference of Xu Shu, and naturally has some abilities.
Liu Bei said proudly: "That's Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi." ”
"It turned out to be the world-famous Xu Junshi, no wonder his temperament is so extraordinary." Li Yan finally understood why the person in front of him was so eye-catching, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu a few more times.
This was discovered by Xu Shu.
Xu Shu didn't come forward just now, he just wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Li Yan. The other party looked at him, Xu Shu returned with a very bright smile and gently bowed his hand.
Li Yan also returned the salute, thinking: It seems that Xu Yuanzhi is a person who can be befriended, low-key and subtle.
Liu Bei saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly, Li Yan and Xu Shu were sympathetic to each other, which was good for his plan.
Liu Bei's troops and Li Yan's entourage, under the blue sky and white clouds, slowly marched towards Chengdu.
And Liu Bei looked at the steep rivers and mountains around him, and couldn't help but have an idea: as long as he has this dangerous terrain, he can divide one side to try the world, and follow the footsteps of Gaozu to achieve hegemony!
