Everyone heard that Liu Bei fainted in Gongsun Zhan's tent today, so they all asked Liu Bei to lie down and rest, Gan'er even intimately prepared medicine for Liu Bei's body, but Liu Bei, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep, and said to himself: "Think about this Yuan Shao is also the third prince of the fourth world, and he is favored by the emperor, not to mention that he is still the leader of the alliance against Dong, and he is not seen on the battlefield to strategize, fight bravely, and take the lead, but he has worked this disloyal and unrighteous thing, it is really chilling to think about!" Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head.

Gan'er, who was squatting on the side to cook medicine, looked at Liu Bei who was lying on the bed, and saw that he was not in good health today and still had the heart to worry about it, and even talked to herself, at this time she fanned her fan and said with a smile: "It's no wonder Yuan Shao and them." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he turned his head to look at Gan'er and said strangely; "Could it be that Gan'er thinks Yuan Shao and they are doing the right thing?"

"My brother Xuande, now I see that you are really sick, and your thoughts are as simple as Ci, there is no right or wrong thing in this world, can't you see why Yuan Shao wanted to make Liu Yu the emperor for no reason?" Gan'er lifted the lid of the pot, poured Chinese medicine into the pot, shook her hands, and then closed the lid again.

"Oh? You've seen it, so you're here to listen. Liu Bei looked at Gan'er's water spirit in front of him, and his heart was very comfortable: "You cook some medicine, don't burn it, it will make me feel distressed when it is hot later!" ”

"I'm fine, but you will still feel sorry for me, don't talk to me poorly!" Gan'er's face showed a hint of redness, and quickly changed the topic: "The year before the first year of the first year of the First Ping, the Eastern Han Dynasty changed the name of the four eras, and the degree of political chaos can be seen, the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the killing of the general He Jin by the eunuchs, the massacre of the eunuchs by Yuan Shao, and the abolition of the emperor by Dong Zhuo are all weakening the authority of the power center of the Han Dynasty step by step, and Dong Zhuo of Shandong Prefecture in the first year of the First Peace Dynasty has shown this weakening in the form of local division in front of the world. When the situation developed to the point that the Kwantung army was scattered and Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang to coerce the emperor into Chang'an, the two sides needed to fight for political, military, and even moral superiority in order to overwhelm their opponents, and Yuan Shao's proposal to appoint Liu Yu as emperor was an important part of this series of political wrestling. ”

Listening to Gan'er's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up at this time, and he immediately got up from the bed and said excitedly: "Next." ”

Gan'er saw Liu Bei sitting up, worried that he was feint, and hurriedly said with concern: "What are you doing sitting, lie down, if you don't lie down, I won't." ”

"Okay, okay, I really can't help you, I'll lie down and listen to Gan'er." Liu Bei was obedient in front of Gan'er at this time, he leaned sideways at this time, faced Gan'er and said, "You continue, I want to listen to Gan'er's high opinion today!" ”

Gan'er saw Liu Bei lying down, so she said coquettishly: "That's about the same." ”

Then she continued to analyze: "Why does Yuan Shao have to make Liu Yu the emperor, or why does he have to win Liu Yu's support for himself, in fact, you can think about this problem from the identity value of Youzhou Mu itself. ”

"Identity? Let me think about it, Liu Yu himself is the elder of the Liu clan, and after he is Liu Qiang, the king of Gong in the East China Sea (the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu), this may be one of the prerequisites for Yuan Shao to establish Liu Yu as emperor. Liu Bei muttered to himself, nodding from time to time.

"Yes, but this kind of status of the side branch of the royal family can not only constitute the conditions for support, but at the same time, it can also effectively weaken its appeal after the success of the support, from this point of view, Yuan Shao's ambition is not, he wants to support Liu Yu as the emperor, take advantage of this to empty Liu Yu, uncertain, he will become a neighbor of Dong Zhuo, although now the princes are all saying that Dong Zhuo is a national thief, they all hate Dong Zhuo, but in my opinion, instead of they hate Dong Zhuo, it is better for them to envy Dong Zhuo."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, and continued: "Gan'er is good, in fact, this kind of support can use the power of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty to further strengthen the cohesion of the Shandong generals, clarify the political purpose of the Shandong generals, and more importantly, with the blessing of the imperial power, the improvement of Yuan Shao's status as the leader of the alliance is just around the corner." ”

Gan'er said at this time: "The imperial power brought by the support can not only unite the alliance of the generals of Shandong, but also enable Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, to have the political capital to compete with the imperial court in Chang'an. On the contrary, for Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao's appointment of Liu Yu is tantamount to denying the legitimacy of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty under his control, and then denying his legitimacy as a minister, which is undoubtedly a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"Gan'er, you have to be too right, of course, in addition to his clan identity, Liu Yu's power in Youzhou and the importance of Youzhou make it have multiple values to strive for. Liu Yu has served as a pastor in Youzhou for a long time, and his reputation for being thrifty is spread abroad, and he has maintained good relations with Xianbei, Wuhuan and other tribesmen. And this time he put down the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Juzhi, which not only further established his prestige in Youzhou, but also received a certain number of troops from Er Zhang, including the Wuhuan cavalry, which was known for its combat effectiveness. At the same time, Liu Yu maintains a good interactive relationship with the local wealthy families in Youzhou. This good relationship was of great benefit to Liu Yu's rule in Youzhou. In addition, the rebellion of the thief army in other states has made Youzhou now in an advantageous position in the three elements of wealth, valley and people, which not only affects the benefits of Guhu City, but also affects the Rao of Yuyang salt and iron, the grain is sufficient, the grain price is as low as "Gushi 30", and at the same time, it has absorbed more than 100,000 displaced people from Qing and Xu Prefectures, which can really be called a soldier with enough food. ”

"Yes, so it is not difficult to see that once Yuan Shao wins Liu Yu's support, he will be able to obtain a large amount of political, economic, and military resources, and he will be more sure that he will overwhelm the other party in the struggle with Dong Zhuo and even other princes at this time."

At this time, Liu Bei said: "Since Liu Yu's importance is so significant, presumably Dong Zhuo will not sit idly by, and he will definitely try his best to win Liu Yu's support through the Han Ting controlled in his hands." ”

"Then did Liu Yu agree to be the emperor?" Gan'er walked around in the tent, rummaging around, and finally found a piece of cloth, she took the pot off the fire, then found a bowl, and poured the boiled Chinese medicine into it.

"Gongsun Chan, he didn't agree." Liu Bei got up and got out of bed, walked to Gan'er's side, bent down to catch the pot, and said, "Be kind, I'll come!" ”

"It is still unknown whether he will agree or not, maybe he is a 'unification faction' who sincerely supports the emperor, maybe he is just a 'separatist' who is a politician and a modest show, but I don't know if the attitude of the princes of Shandong is the same as that of Yuan Shao." This thing was really hot, Gan'er saw that Liu Bei could stand up, so she handed the pot to Liu Bei, and then extinguished the fire.

"I don't know about the others, but I'm sure Cao Cao will definitely not think the same way as Yuan Shao." Liu Bei put down the pot in his hand and sat back on the bed.

"Oh? is so confident, you and Cao Cao don't know each other. Gan'er saw Liu Bei put the bowl on the table and didn't care, so she pointed to the Chinese medicine and said, "You take it and drink it while it's hot!" ”

"Haha...... Between me and Cao Cao, I haven't even met each other, and he doesn't know me yet, but his fame is too great, and they are all good reputations, all of them are admirable reputations, which is really enviable. When I first heard his name, it was still in Luoyang, I only knew that he dared to do it, not to be inflammatory, not to flatter, and then when all the princes were hesitant to wait and see, only Cao Cao led thousands of soldiers and horses to the west to chase Dong Zhuo, this is also a commendable courage, loyalty and commendable move, it can have the courage of everyone to the north when it fights, and I have the courage to go west, and in this crowded Liu Yu for the emperor to split the matter, I believe he also has this courage, therefore, I dare to conclude that he will not follow Yuan Shao to split. Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "It's too hot, I want to cool down!" ”

"It's really a hero's pity, oh, Gan'er is wrong, it's a hero's pity, I forgot that he doesn't know you yet." At this time, Gan'er said with a smile, and then she took a fan and waved it at the Chinese medicine in the bowl: "You are a big man, how can you faint, your physical fitness is too poor, you look at Yun Changyide, your body is like a cow!" ”

"They are exercising all night, today the dance stick is a gun, I am a mental worker, that is all sitting here at night to think about the problem, the physical fitness is naturally different, I think when I was in Songshan, then my physical fitness and Yun Changyide are no different, in the past in Lu Zhi's teacher, in addition to every reading and writing, that is to practice martial arts, dance guns and swords, my swordsmanship and archery accuracy is still a little powerful, don't hide it from you, I only have been with you, I never have anyone else!"

"Of course, bragging should be done with fewer people, and if there are more people, it will be exposed, especially if Brother Deran is present, you will not dare to do so, because he used to study with you in Songshan, and he knows your 1510, puff~"

"Hey~ you, you, you're such a weird, I won't argue with you anymore...... But to be honest, you really admire Liu Bei's knowledge today. ”

Gan'er smiled and said, "Where, it's just some ways of thinking about problems that my grandfather usually gives me, and it's my own opinion." ”

"General, general......" At this time, Liu Deran suddenly broke in in a hurry, and saw that only Gan'er was there, so he said: "Brother, I got the news from the family just now that the second uncle has passed away." ”
