"My lord, you just let him go?" Looking at the back of Liu Lu leaving, Liu Bei's entourage asked at this time.

"Let him go, his nature is not bad, the manipulators behind the scenes are Liu Ping and some big families in Pingyuan County, let's go back." Liu Bei got on his horse without saying a word, preparing to return to his county capital.

Liu Bei was deeply immersed in his thoughts at this time, he didn't expect Liu Ping to hate himself to the core, he didn't want to come to Yin, so this Liu Lu still has a trace of conscience today, if he encounters a mad assassin, then I, Liu Bei, will not be planted in the hands of this Liu Ping, it is really unreasonable.

Some things are indeed more and more angry the more you think about it, Liu Bei is a thief outside Pingyuan County, and he is kind and charitable inside, even if he is not an ordinary person in Shirao, he can sit at the same table with him, eat together, and will not have a choice. Although he is deeply supported by the common people, but he is not supported by the big families of Pingyuan County, now it seems that Liu Bei, an external force, and the local forces of Pingyuan County have reached the point of incompatibility, Liu Bei never thought that Liu Ping and they would send assassins to assassinate him, Liu Bei really hated these despicable methods of them.

Originally, Liu Bei's feelings for them were ambiguous, as an external force, he came here to carry out military and political management, but he did not cede part of his power to the natives of Pingyuan County, and he did not consult the opinions of the local families when discussing the military and political affairs of Pingyuan County, so no matter what, Liu Bei still felt a little ashamed of them in his heart. But judging from what happened today, Liu Bei's shame and guilt towards them are completely superfluous, and there is no need for this, if you don't be cruel to them, they will be ruthless to you, if you don't attack them, they will attack you.

"Woo ......" Liu Bei rode back to his county mansion, and after dismounting, he walked into the house quickly, and said to the person next to him: "Call Jian Yong over!" ”

Liu Bei has already made up his mind at this time, he has decided to attack Liu Ping and them, either you die or I die, since he is not ready to appoint them, of course, it is impossible to consider appointing them now, one by one, filthy people, how to be worthy of being an official in the county, how to be worthy of being his subordinates, therefore, he can only choose the latter, kill them, kill them, as long as they exist, Liu Bei is impossible to really sit back and relax.

After receiving Liu Bei's order, Jian Yong also quickly came to Liu Bei's mansion and said, "My lord has something to do with me?" ”

"I was assassinated!" At this time, Liu Bei said casually.

"What!" When Jian Yong heard Liu Bei's careless words, he was immediately frightened, and said in a panic at this time: "This ...... What's going on? ”

"What's going on, I should ask you, let you send a detailed work to investigate Liu Ping's situation, you have investigated, you don't even know that they sent assassins to the outside world!"

Jian Yong was reprimanded by Liu Bei, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The subordinates are guilty of not doing this job well, please punish the adults!" ”

At this time, Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong who was kneeling on the ground, and wondered if what he had just said was a bit heavy, after all, Jian Yong was not suitable for the work of these spies, and he gave him such a task to do, and he was also responsible for the unknown crime, he wanted to give this job to Zhao Yun to do, but Zhao Yun actually left him at this critical period, thinking about himself is really helpless, but Jian Yong is his cronies after all, and it is not good to hurt the harmony, thinking of this, Liu Bei stepped forward and helped Jian Yong, and said calmly: "Xianhe, Get up, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that I was in too much of a hurry just now, so I spoke to you more heavily, I'm actually worried about how many assassins Liu Ping has sent, we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, we have to guard against it! ”

Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei's attitude was a little better, so he said, "My lord, I think it is time for us to do something to them." ”

"Come, sit down!" Liu Bei did it, sighed and said: "Do it is definitely to do it, the key is how to do it, moreover, what is your safety now, will Liu Ping send a number of assassins to prepare to attack you, and also, once you do it, their power is intertwined, how big is the strength, don't kill the enemy by killing a thousand and lose eight hundred, but give the enemy outside a chance to take advantage of." ”

Liu Bei threw out a lot of doubts in one breath, which showed that these things had been bothering him in his heart.

"I have almost learned a little about these, there are four families in Pingyuan County, among which the most powerful is Liu Ping, these four families have a marriage relationship with each other, they have lived here for generations, and their power is deep-rooted, their families are all high-walled compounds, and they have their own private armed forces inside, and the private forces of these four families together have about three thousand, and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they continued to expand the land in order to protect themselves, and the high-walled compounds of the four families have passages for each other, which can be described as a castle barrier that is incomparable." Jian Yong described in detail the specific situation of the plain family.

At this point, he paused, seeing Liu Bei's frowning and thoughtful look, so he continued: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not that they have both offense and defense, and it is difficult to subdue them, but that they are ......."

"And what?" Liu Bei said: "Quick! ”

"It's about pulling a hair and moving the whole body!"

Hearing Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but gasp, thinking that this is indeed the case, once Liu Ping is refined, the entire family of Pingyuan County will rise up because of the cold lips and teeth, and in the future, I am afraid that what he will face is not the four families of Pingyuan County, but the local forces of the entire Pingyuan County, at that time, will he really have full confidence to subdue them? The family has always been the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule, and it is the family family in some places that goes to the big family, and the big one, that is, the family family like Runan Yuan's and Hongnong Yang's family, with only 4,000 soldiers and horses, it is still difficult to deal with Liu Ping, not to mention the entire scholar class, do you really want to risk the disapproval?

At this time, Liu Bei sighed and said, "Xianhe, what should we do?" ”

"This ......" Jian Yong suddenly lowered his head and said: "Actually, maybe we were wrong from the beginning, we shouldn't keep the local local forces out, this is my responsibility, I didn't expect things to become so serious, I thought that as long as Liu Ping and others were eradicated with lightning speed, the matter could be done, but I thought it was too simple!" ”

"Hey~ Who doesn't have the first time, you and I are the first time, the first time to be the minister of state, the first time to deal with the government affairs of the county, the lesson of the previous car and the division of the rear car, nothing big to talk about, this time we will simply fight them to the end, win, then that's it, if you lose, let's withdraw, anyway, it's not that we haven't lost before, what are you afraid of, let's come all the way, what wind and waves haven't been seen, do you still care about Liu Ping?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Report!" Before Jian Yong could speak, the doorman ran over and said, "Lord Qiyu, there is a general outside the door who asks to see him, and this person claims to be Tai Shici!" ”

"Tai Shi Ci? Is there something wrong with him? Liu Bei asked suspiciously, Tai Shici had never heard of it before.

"He was entrusted by Beihai Xiang Kong Rong to borrow troops from you, my lord!"

"Kong Rong Kong Beihai, hurry up, please!" Liu Bei hurriedly got up and tidied up his clothes.

Seeing that the doorman went to invite Tai Shi Ci, Liu Bei said to Jian Yong: "As far as I know, Kong Rong's family history is the nineteenth grandson of Confucius and the son of Kong Zhou, the commander of Taishan. Few talents, diligent and studious, and plain Tao Qiuhong, Chen Liubian and called handsome, Dong Zhuo in the year of the rebellion, Dong Zhuo in order to win over the scholar class, so he recruited Kong Rong as a subordinate of Sikong Peng, appointed as a candidate in the North Central Army, three in office, transferred to the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang. Later, Dong Zhuo took charge of the government and wanted to abolish the Han Shaodi Liu Bian, so Kong Rong argued with Dong Zhuo, and the rhetoric was fierce, Dong Zhuo held a grudge, so Kong Rong was transferred to the position of Yilang, and then hinted that the three governments (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong) recommended Kong Rong to the Beihai State, where the Yellow Turban Army was the most rampant. ”

"Kong Rong is also a fateful person, so what happened?" Jian Yong was very interested.

"As soon as he arrived in Beihai, he summoned the people, gathered troops to talk about martial arts, issued a text, and personally wrote a book, communicated with the states and counties, and planned together, because of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Rao, and transferred to Zhuxu County, and slowly gathered more than 40,000 men and women who were bewitched by the Yellow Turban, and then set up cities, set up schools, show Confucianism, treat the people, even if there is only a little good deed, they are also treated with courtesy, the people have no descendants and the Quartet travelers have died, all help to bury them, because of the political voice, by the people of the time called 'Kong Beihai'."

"Listening to you, Kong Rong is not suitable for making a living in this troubled world, except for lecturing and learning, he has no merit, but I don't know why I want to borrow troops from you today?" At this time, Jian Yongdao.

"If you want to borrow soldiers, you must need soldiers, Kong Rong is located in Beihai, and there is a leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Donglai County next to him called Guan Cheng, who is also a ruthless character, it shouldn't be the Yellow Turban Thieves who sent troops to Beihai Country." Liu Bei pondered.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, wait for Tai Shi Ci to come and ask." Jian Yong's words changed at this time and said, "It's just, I don't know if you are ready to agree to borrow troops?" ”

Liu Bei understood what Jian Yong meant, just now the two of them were discussing how to eradicate Liu Ping and the people, and he was in need of soldiers, and now he lent out his only soldiers and horses, I am afraid it would be very unfavorable to him, but if he didn't save him when he saw death, wouldn't it be against his consistent belief to let the Yellow Turban thieves invade Beihai Country? At this time, Liu Bei said: "Look at it again!" ”

"Okay, listen to you!"

"Yes, got it!" Jian Yong agreed.

Liu Bei tidied up Jian Yong's clothes, and then walked out of the door with Jian Yong.
