Chapter 21 The road is long

In the middle of November in the fifth winter of Jian'an, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty finally led only a few dozen people to successfully smuggle through Wuguan and came to Wancheng, Nanyang County, one of the three capitals of the Han Dynasty.

That's right, this is the emperor's hometown, and like Chang'an, it is one of the legal companion capitals after the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a kind of temple. From this point of view, there are some theories about the escape plan of the young Tianzi and Yang Biao, after all, Wancheng itself also has a certain special legal status.

Of course, there is only one point, and it is better to talk than nothing. Because of the fact that this place is economically developed, because it is too close to Luoyang, its political status has been eroded severely, even to the point of some congenital deficiency. If you have to make an analogy of confused time and space, it can be said that this place is to Chang'an, just like Fengyang to Nanjing at the end of the Ming Dynasty...... It's one thing in theory, but it's not the same thing at all in practice.

Back in front of him, as the governor in charge of Nanyang under the command of Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu, Cao Cao's own brother Cao De was at first a little dazed after welcoming such a group, and then shocked, but soon came to his senses, and then hurriedly became confused.

On the one hand, he gave up the mansion in Wancheng to the Son of Heaven to live in, and on the other hand, he flew to Chen County to report to his brother Cao Cao. Then he was just about to study the etiquette issue, but under the reminder of the Zhonglang generals Ren Jun, Deng Zhi, and Wancheng Ling Manzhong, the three of them urgently increased their troops on both sides of the Danshui in front of Wuguan in the west, Shunyang and Nanxiang, and then flew to Luyang to remind the local guard Shi Lian to be careful.

However, the interesting thing is that Cao De's messenger here had just set off, and Yang Biao, who had stabilized his posture over there, immediately sent his own personal messenger to the south to Lu Bu and Liu Biao, and Zhou Zhong, the court commander, did not hesitate to find an old man in Wancheng and asked the latter to send a letter to Shouchun immediately.

These actions really made Cao De's heart tremble, but he didn't say much, but when he suddenly heard that Ding Chong died on the road, he was still drunk and froze to death, but he finally woke up and couldn't hold it back...... It must be known that the Ding family, the Cao family, and the Xiahou family are listed as the three major clans in Qian County, and they have been married to each other for several generations, and they are the same body, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan's wives are all Ding, and they are sisters, as for Ding Chong, he is a leader specially cultivated by the Ding family, and the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers are all like brothers, but they died on the road in a daze?

As soon as he thought of this, Rao is Cao De has always been generous, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, and then called his private engagement in Nanyang, and the local talent in Nanyang who had not yet been crowned, and asked the latter to personally bring a private letter to Chen County to see his brother, Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu. At the same time, he asked Ren Jun to lead troops south to Jianyang to deal with what happened in the south.

And just when the chickens and dogs jumped on the Wancheng side because of the sudden arrival of some people, on the other side, thousands of miles apart, there were also people from afar where General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei were located...... However, this is not an uninvited guest, but Lu Su and Chen Deng, who have sent envoys to Hebei, have returned from afar.

To be honest, Liu Bei didn't expect Lu Su to come back so late, even if he had specifically told the other party to help him sacrifice his ancestors, and told the other party to carefully observe the situation in Hebei to make a strategic choice...... But after going for so long, it is still incomprehensible to count the beginning and tail for almost half a year.

Of course, he came back after all, so General Zuo Liu Xuande personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him.

It was the middle of winter, although Shouchun was in Huainan, it was still cold and windy, and Liu Bei not only led his cronies out to greet him early, but also took the initiative to dismount when he saw Lu Zijing appear in the field of vision from a distance, and personally stepped forward to saddle Lu Zijing to show his welcome.

This gesture seems to have given Lu Su enough face.

And after this, everyone also understood that Lu Zijing was finally going to be among the top backbones of the Huainan system with this contribution, even Zhang Fei and Zhang Zhao, the two below Liu Bei, could not be stopped.

It must be said here that Liu Bei is a very good person, and all the talents he meets, regardless of their origin, place of origin, or personality, this Zuo general can be a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and then make people loyal to him in turn...... There is no doubt about that.

However, this does not mean that there are no factions and contradictions within this military-political bloc.

Among them, the division of the main factions is naturally the clichΓ© Yuan from the foreign faction and the local faction, and it was changed to Liu Bei, because in the later period, Xuzhou started and Runan returned to the rule, it was simpler, directly Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou factions. However, unlike the naked interest disputes of Yuan Shao and Liu Yan, Liu Bei's factions here are not so downgraded after they are formed according to the region, and the contradictions between them are more reflected in the so-called line disputes.

Therefore, if you have to force a so-called definition of these two factions, it is actually a bit like the young radicals and the steady conservatives.

The so-called steady conservatives, headed by Zhang Fei and Zhang Zhao, and those who had previously been exiled from the Central Plains to the south, such as Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son, Yuan Jian and others, plus Zhang Hong, Chen Qi, Cao Hong and others in Xuzhou who joined in the later period as the backbone, generally had some misgivings about the expansion of force, and they believed that the Cao-Liu alliance should be maintained and the harmonious relations with Hebei should be maintained...... Anyway, it's going to be sustained.

Among them, Zhang Fei is more special, he is righteous, and he is greatly favored by Gongsun Xun, so he resists and confronts the north, everyone knows this, and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Er Chen, Yuan Lian, Cao Hong, Chen Qi and others are not pedantic surrenderers...... Their educational background and northerly background are there, and they also have a deeper understanding of the cruelty of war, plus their natural satisfaction in Liu Bei's group, which makes them resist war from the bottom of their hearts!

As for the Shaozhuang radical faction, it is even simpler, mainly except for Zhang Fei, the middle and high-level military generals (most of whom were promoted locally) are the backbone, and Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Liu Ye, the three heroes of Huainan, are the representatives.

These people are generally young, generally born in the local area of Huainan, and young means that they have the ambition to make contributions, young lack of identity with the center, born in the local means that they have a huge amount of wealth and manpower, which means that they have a low political status within the group.

As a result, they don't have the word Han in their eyes, and their minds are full of plots to compete for hegemony!

For example, Liu Ye, who was born in a serious Han family, thought that his background would be a burden to his career in the future when he was a teenager, because the Han family cannot be revived! It wasn't until Liu Bei's surprise suddenly came that he completely let go of this knot and followed the lord Kuang to help up the Han family!

Not to mention Lu Su, is Huainan 'Deng Yu' fake? At a young age, he sold his land and house, and divided his wealth! This is determined to do great things!

Zhou Yu is the same, after his family and talent were recruited as the head of the nest, not only did he ignore the county government, but he trained there all day, and after being discovered and talked to by Zhang Fei, he recommended it to Liu Bei, and as a result, he invited himself to Guangling to participate in the navy training!

At that time, Yuan Shao had just been defeated, the weight of the naval army on the sea shocked the world, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou was getting old, which was obviously also to do things, and it was more direct and practical.

In fact, just imagine, these people encountered troubled times when they were young, not only did they have a centripetal force on the center, but they were full of meritorious achievements, and then they met an outstanding lord like Liu Bei, so they were naturally willing to assist the other party to achieve a great cause!

However, this kind of thinking naturally aroused the resistance of Zhang Zhao and others...... In fact, a long time ago, due to the cultivation level of Zhou Yu and Liu Ye themselves, even Zhang Zhao and others could not find anything wrong to publicly criticize them, so Lu Zijing, who was a little rough at that time, was the target of Zhang Zhao and others...... Zhang Zibu told Liu Bei every day that Lu Su didn't understand the humility, and he liked to do things like to mess with force, so he must not be reused.

Liu Bei kept agreeing, and then Lu Zijing became bigger and bigger, and the responsibility became heavier and heavier, and finally arrived today.

How so?

The reason why these two factions can exist under Liu Bei and develop to this point is mainly because of Liu Bei's own problems. Thinking that Liu Bei ran away and swore not to be hostile to Gongsun Xun back then, this Zhuojun ranger also really thought so at that time - go out and break through, if Gongsun Xun unified the world, it would be lowered, anyway, he himself couldn't have imagined that he could get to this point today; And if Gongsun Xun bears the brunt of the defeat in the early stage, then he will inherit the will and fight for it, isn't this okay?

But who would have thought that in today's overall situation in the world, Gongsun Xun is the first, and he and Cao Cao are second?

And since you have come to this part, if you don't fight, who can be willing?

Although Liu Xuande is unwilling to be a negative person, he is not willing to stop there, this is human nature...... Therefore, Cao Cao was the leader of the alliance, completely blocking Gongsun Xun in the north, and there was a factional struggle within Huainan.

To put it bluntly, this kind of struggle came from Liu Bei's own heart, and then embodied in his own shogunate!

Back in front of him, General Zuo Liu Xuande personally saddled up and dismounted, and greeted Lu Su for ten miles, which inevitably made everyone's hearts move secretly, could it be that this dragon of Wohuai finally made up his mind?

To tell the truth, with Liu Bei's current status and strength, if he really wants to face Gongsun Xun's sword soldiers, no one will say anything, for example, Lu Su had persuaded Liu Bei before this envoy, and he said bluntly at the time: "The general trend of the world is like this, and it is natural for heroes to divide one side. The minister is going north today, and he must have a glimpse of the truth for the lord to determine the future strategy! ”

The words are still in the ears, and now that they have returned to Huainan, they can't help but think about it.

In this way, Liu Bei and Lu Su entered the city hand in hand, entered General Zuo's mansion, and set up a banquet to wash the dust, and he actually ranked Lu Su's seat second on the left, second only to Zhang Zhao's position.

"Zijing."

After three rounds of drinking, he didn't talk about business, but just said some things on the road, and after Liu Bei was slightly drunk, he couldn't help but smile and ask. "Today, I will first welcome you with the saddle, and I will ask you to be here, which should be enough to commend you for your merits, right?"

"I don't think it's enough!" Lu Su, who had also drunk a few more glasses, got up with a straight face and replied simply.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall first laughed as before, and then suddenly fell silent after a while...... Obviously, the reply was too sudden and unexpected for everyone to react at first. And after reacting, I don't know what to say!

"What nonsense is Zijing talking about?!" Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up and scold was Liu Ye, who ranked fourth on the left hand. "Is it the words of a human being who should be so rude?"

Zhang Zhao, who was the first on the left, and Chen Ji, who was the third, were both silent, and Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed.

In fact, with the cleverness of these people, especially Liu Bei and Liu Ye's attention and understanding of Lu Su, how can they not understand that Lu Zijing wants to use the topic to play? But understand clearly, Zhang Zhao is sitting in the first position of Wenchen on the left hand, and you don't feel enough to sit in the second place, what does that mean? Those who know naturally know that you have to take the opportunity to speak, and those who don't know think that you are openly disgusting Zhang Zibu!

Liu Bei is not easy to interface!

It was precisely because he realized this that Liu Ye, who was Lu Su's best friend, got up and scolded him...... is nominally a scolding, but in fact it is a step down for Lu Zijing.

And Lu Su didn't care about it, but continued to say: "Lord, the minister has seen a lot of knowledge when he traveled north with Chen Yuanlong this time, and he sighed to the extreme, so he has this gesture...... As for Ziyang saying that I have no courtesy, that's nonsense, if I want to say, if the lord can one day encompass the four seas and Dejia the world, even if I am summoned to what palace and what platform with only a soft-wheeled car, I will definitely be satisfied to the extreme! And now, the lord only divides the two banks of the Huai River, and he is in danger of overturning, but he is still doing something here, the first and the second, isn't it ridiculous? ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone remembered Lu Su's mission this time, and they couldn't help but be solemn.

"So Hebei is extremely strong, and General Wei will attack the Central Plains?" Liu Bei sat on the top, expressionless, and the speaker was Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu with a worried face. "And Zijing hasn't returned for a long time, is he getting a glimpse of Hebei's military affairs?"

"Zhang Gong, that's not what I mean!" Lu Su turned his head and bowed to Zhang Zhao and said. "Although he stayed in Hebei for a long time, he was accompanied by Guo Fengxiao, a military division under General Wei, and he never entered the military camp and other confidential places......

Zhang Zibu frowned for a moment.

"However, Hebei soldiers are prosperous, who doesn't know who they see or don't see? How did Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao die? How did Han Sui Ma Teng descend? Lu Zijing turned around and asked awe-inspiring at Shouchun Wenwu in the seat. As for whether General Wei wants to attack the Central Plains, Mr. Zibu's question is even more ridiculous, since General Wei has pacified Hebei and Sanfu, and now he has annexed Liangzhou and stabilized the rear, what if he doesn't attack the Central Plains? Could it be that because of his personal relationship with General Fenwu and his lord, he stopped at the line of Mount Tai on the Yellow River? ”

"That's not what I mean, a few days ago, General Wei's pacification of Xiliang came over, and we are still discussing, will General Wei pacify Bashu first, so as to be perfect?" Liu Ye saw that it was not good, so he quickly interjected and played again.

"There's no point in that." Lu Su stood there and refuted solemnly. "This belongs to the subsection, and the subsection may change due to changes in the current situation, what should really be paid attention to is the overall situation, because only the overall situation can know the general trend of the world......"

"If you want to come to this trip for half a year, you will get the overall situation!" It was Chen Qun who was even lower in the seat, and he seemed to be dissatisfied that Lu Su actually lived above his father.

"Not bad." Lu Su looked at Chen Qun and replied seriously. "Staying for a long time in the next northbound trip can be regarded as the overall situation of Hebei."

"Dare to ask where does the big picture come from?" Chen Qun raised his eyebrows and immediately asked again. "Didn't Brother Zijing say that this trip to Hebei didn't go to a secret place?"

"If you want to get the big picture, start small." Lu Su was not in a hurry. "What kind of secret military information, shogunate planning, but useless...... In the next time in Hebei, there are four small things that have touched a lot, which is the so-called seeing the subtleties, so there is the meaning of today's fear. ”

"Half a year in Hebei, except for the envoy and the sacrificial duties, there are only four trivial things?" Chen Qun became more and more difficult to hide his dissatisfaction. "Foot ......"

"Come on." At this moment, Liu Bei, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up, and Chen Qun immediately stopped talking.

"First, the minister met General Wei for the first time, but General Wei broke down the minister's origin and name, and commented on the minister, Ziyang, and Gongjin...... This has also paid off...... The minister means that although the ministers and the other three have been appointed and trusted by the lord, what is the big thing in the world? It's just three young people who have just been promoted to take charge of some mundane things, but General Wei knows it well, which shows that he doesn't have the slightest contempt for the Central Plains and the lord. Lu Su talked eloquently, and the people around him, even Zhang Zhao, couldn't help but bow their heads slightly.

"Two." Lu Su left his seat and said in front of Shouchun Wenwu. "Yuanlong and I went to Zhuo County to sacrifice the ancestors and Zi Gangong for the lord, and saw many old people of the lord's clan, the old and old, including the Zijing Gong who donated money to the Lord and happened to have the same word as the next...... When he went, the lord had an admonition, so he invited the family to Huainan for the lord to fulfill his filial piety...... As a result, instead of agreeing, the prince wrote a letter of persuasion, asking the lord to lead the people of the Central Plains to surrender to General Wei as soon as possible. ”

Saying that, Lu Zijing really took out a letter from his arms, turned around and handed it to Liu Bei, and Tang Chinese Wu couldn't help but be in an uproar.

Liu Bei took the letter and opened it casually, but he also shook his head and smiled: "It's my uncle's handwriting...... I also understand what he means, and he is not a hypocrisy. ”

"That's exactly what it means!" Lu Su immediately responded. "Even the nearest elder in the clan of the lord of the world persuaded him to surrender to the lord, is it because he doesn't want to see the lord succeed? In the final analysis, I just feel that the world is destined to be General Wei, and the lord is just surviving in Huainan! This is the concern of the elders. ”

"What about two other little things?" Liu Bei carefully put the letter in his arms before continuing to ask.

"A grand university under the eye, in which teenagers and young talents continue to flow." Lu Su continued. "There is an endless stream of scholars coming and going, which really shocks the ministers."

"A leaf falls and knows the autumn, talents rely on excavation after all, after all, they are inferior, and the prosperity of culture and education makes talents endless, which is the original intention of education." Zhang Hong sighed for a while. "Before, Yexia University lecturers Le Gong and Wei Gong came here, but in just a few months, Shouchun University changed its former appearance, which we have discussed in Shouchun for a long time."

"What Zi Gang Gong said is extremely true." Lu Su sighed. "This is the really terrible place in Hebei, in fact, there is not only a university, I walked half of Hebei with Yuanlong, and found that from teaching to military service, from taxes to postal posts, from officials to the township Shiwu, everything is a system, not because of people, and this means that General Wei is really deep in Hebei to the extreme, and his rule there will never be shaken because of a temporary setback...... Compared with it, we are too far behind, you must know that the success is in the people, and the action is in the system. ”

The hall was quite quiet, and Liu Bei was slightly stunned, but slowly bowed his head and said again: "I was by my brother's side that day, and what I learned the most was that everything was people-oriented, so I ignored the system, this is my fault, what about the fourth thing?" ”

"Return to my lordship." Lu Su's face became more and more serious. "The minister found that in the countryside of Hebei, the people were not afraid of soldiers, horses, and swords!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people were puzzled, but there were also people such as Zhang Zhao and Liu Ye who changed color.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and finally changed color: "Really? ”

"Indeed!" Lu Su replied seriously. "As we all know, the chaos is only a few years, such as under the rule of Huainan, although the people obey the lord, but they are still terrified when they see the swords, soldiers and horses walking by the road...... And the minister is in Hebei, walking with Guo Fengxiao, there are two cavalry escorts along the way, the elite armor, four or five hundred horsemen rampant in the field, and the people on the side of the road are not afraid, but often come to watch and ask, knowing that it is not after the war, some people are even disappointed in the ......"

"This is ridiculous!" When the hall was quietly listening to Lu Zijing's words, Zhang Zhao suddenly reprimanded.

"I think it's ridiculous at the beginning!" Lu Su immediately said solemnly. "Later, when I asked, I learned that General Wei had already begun to dissolve the tuntian in a large area in the north, and took the original tuntian and the unclaimed land into public ownership, and then counted Ding's dictation of the field......"

"This is the law of eternity!" Liu Ye almost blurted out.

"Yes, this is the law of eternity!" Lu Zijing replied with a head. But there are also hidden worries about giving land in this way, that is, after people die, the public land will be returned to the public, and the poor people have worked hard all their lives, but there is no land to pass on, and they can't help but worry. Therefore, after this year's spring ploughing, it was changed to grant part of the Yongye private land with an account, and if a person dies, it can be bought and sold for inheritance. Then he set the rules, military merits, meritorious service, invention, writing, studying, going out of office, etc., all have rewards for the private property of Yongye, and these private fields are not even allowed to be bought and sold, life and death are at home! Therefore, almost all of the tun people who have been granted land seek military merits and get Yongye private land! ”

"Grant land and private land, and the people will be happy when they hear the war...... It's only been a few years? Liu Bei was finally shocked. Pity me for several years of hard work, but barely succeed in the field, even the three-long system is not stable, the imperial examination university is even more superficial, and it seems to be successful to spread the land into the mu, but in fact, it is because the military tun is mainly used in various places, so it is just a false name. How can my brother accomplish such a rare thing? Is it really God-granted? No wonder you conclude that Hebei is about to go south! ”

"Don't be presumptuous, lord." Lu Su is right. "The reason why the minister has been in Hebei for a long time is to find out to what extent this land grant system has reached...... If you look closely, in fact, the Youzhou area is the most perfect, followed by Jizhou, Yingzhou and Qingzhou again. However, among them, Qingzhou and Yingzhou gathered the ownerless fields and tun them, and then disbanded the tuntian to take advantage of the situation to grant the land, but the steps were orderly, better than Jizhou. ”

"No wonder my uncle wrote to persuade me to surrender." Liu Bei sighed. "The current situation is like this, no wonder Zi respects you that we are in a crisis...... Is this what Zijing got this time? ”

"No, the minister and Yuanlong have a lot of impressions along the way, but they talk to each other, and the conclusions that need to be reported to the lord are just two sentences." When Lu Su heard this, he became more and more vocal about it. "What I said before is that there are many civil and military forces here, and it is just a matter of gagging people's mouths when they say it."

"Which two sentences?"

"One said, the Han family really can't be revived!" Lu Su looked at Liu Bei and said hard. "Second, General Wei's momentum is really unshakable!"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience were shocked, and Liu Bei was even more embarrassed - this is his Deng Yu, Zhou Yu is in Xuzhou, and he is the toughest person in Shouchun City, but he actually came to such a conclusion!

In the silence, Zhang Zhao twisted his beard thoughtfully, and suddenly got up and said to Liu Bei: "Ming Gong...... The general trend of the world is like this, why force it to go against the trend? With the friendship between the Duke of Ming and General Wei, if he can raise the Central Plains and surrender at this time, there will be many princes from generation to generation. And once it drags on, the two sides will fight against each other, and then not only will the war be linked, the dead and wounded, but also the fratricide, and the righteousness will be wiped out! Wangming Gong is thoughtful! ”

"That's not what I mean!" Just when Liu Bei's expression became more and more embarrassed, Lu Zijing suddenly raised his voice and spoke. "Chen" means...... If the Han family cannot be revived, then the lord must have the determination to follow the Guangwu ancestor to recast the world, and he should no longer have any thoughts about Chang'an, and the so-called slogan of reviving the Han family is just shouting, and the lord must know in his heart that his foundation lies in the territory, population, soldiers, and talents, rather than the identity of the Han family...... That identity is worthless! ”

Liu Bei was slightly restrained, Zhang Zhao was also slightly restrained, and many people in the audience bowed their heads and remained silent.

"And the so-called general Wei's momentum is really unshakable, which means that you don't expect to be able to learn from Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo in the future, and then you can annex Zhou County." Lu Su didn't look at the people around him, and continued to speak in the hall. "First of all, we must be prepared, and when the situation comes, not only to help General Fenwu seek a victory, but also to help him stabilize his position around the Yellow River; Secondly, the lord can no longer despise Jiangnan, he should immediately move his troops south, swallow Sun Ce, surrender Zhu Hao, even Jiaozhou, and even if possible, Liu Biao and Liu Yan can go against the river and annex them all! Because only with a deep enough foundation and depth behind him, can he barely stabilize his position in the monstrous momentum of General Wei and calmly fight for the dragon! ”

The hall held its breath and condensed, and Liu Bei was slightly moved.

In Russia, Liu Ye was the first to get up and come to the hall to stand side by side with Lu Su, leaning over and asking: "Duke Ming, the minister thinks that Lu Zijing's heartfelt words are really the only way out for Duke Ming!" ”

"This fallacy too!" Zhang Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore, so much so that he was furious. "General Wei really has the wisdom to know people! He said that Lu Zijing was not enough for Xiao He, and reluctantly called Deng Yu; Liu Ziyang was deficient in Zhang Liang and reluctantly called Chen Ping; Only Zhou Gongjin can be compared to Han Xin...... Are you complimenting? Obviously I'm saying that the three of you are talented but not virtuous, and you can't do anything! But today I think that General Wei still thinks highly of you, and you people are clearly chaotic people! In vain, two or three people who are light, and they are the same as those who are lucky to do it, for the sake of personal meritorious service, they encourage the sword soldiers to not stop, completely ignoring the scourge of the division of the world! It is said that Xiliang Jia is chaotic, in my opinion, you are the real martial artists! ”

Lu Su and Liu Ye bowed their heads and were silent.

This silence is not only a respect for Zhang Zhao's identity, but also a silent confrontation against Zhang Zhao's political views...... After all, no matter how angry Zhang Zibu is, with his virtue and loyalty to Liu Bei, once Liu Bei makes up his mind, he will not lag behind.

In fact, it is not only Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Fei, who served as the Taishou of Guangling at this time, is also the same thing in the eyes of Lu, Liu and others...... Don't look at these people before Liu Bei makes a public statement, they will always do their best to make peace, it's just because they really don't want to fight. And when Liu Bei and Gongsun Xun fight for knives, no matter how difficult these people are, they will work hard.

There is no reason why you Zhang Fei can ride alone for the sake of General Wei's kindness, but leave his righteous brother Liu Bei when he is obviously at a strategic disadvantage, right?

"Actually, in my opinion, Zijing said one less thing, and Zibu also said one less person." After stopping for a long time, Liu Beifang, who was at the top, spoke in anticipation. Zi Jing ...... You are going to Hebei, and you are not careful enough. ”

"Yes!" No matter what, Lu Su also whispered yes.

"If you know about my brother General Wei, I Liu Bei can always count it in the world." Liu Xuande raised the bottle and said slowly. "It's as if I haven't seen my brother for a long time, but I know that he hasn't slackened off on the overall situation of the world for a day, and he hasn't forgotten to unify the world for a day...... Where to start? Naturally, it's the Bronze Bird Terrace. ”

The people in the hall were stunned for a moment.

"You all think that Tongquetai is his mighty move, and it is to imitate Gaozu in building Weiyang Palace, but in fact, you are underestimating him." Liu Xuande sighed. "I thought the same as you did at first, but it wasn't until Zijing wrote for the first time that the high platform was facing Zhangshui, and then it dawned on me...... Zijing, when you see my brother in Tongquetai, does he always look at Zhangshui and get distracted? ”

"Yes!"

"Then do you know what's in Zhangshui?"

"I don't know."

"Among them are the bones of the defeated Yellow Turbans! And among the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban are his old people, his old officials, and his old friends...... Others don't know, I know better than anyone else, he set up a platform in Zhangshui, showing his majesty on the surface, but in fact, it was to remind him that he still has something to do, he still has an oath to complete, and he still has a world to annex! Liu Bei's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said slowly. It's like I, Liu Bei, once I am idle or when I encounter administrative difficulties, I will ride north, and I will not stop until the Huai River...... Why? Because I want to look north and think about the plains! I think that at the beginning, it was when I was in the plains as the county commander that I saw how unbearable the world was, how hateful Haoqiang was, and how dignified the family was, so I had the ambition to cleanse the world! After staying in the plains for many years, he also raised his ambition for many years, so it will rise up until today! Zijing! ”

"The minister is here."

"You have shown great intentions in this mission, but you still ignore my brother's burning ambition!"

"Yes!"

"Zibu."

"The Ministers Are in ......"

"There is one thing you also ignore, and that is my Liu Bei's determination to help the world and the people!" Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly. "You are not as good as my brother Sun Wenqi in this regard...... He said that Zijing is not as good as Xiao He, Ziyang is not as good as Zhang Liang, but Gongjin is slightly better than Han Xin, not so much mocking or praising the three of them, but mocking me Liu Bei is not as good as Gaozu! Why? It's not that he knows in his heart that I, Liu Bei, have the ambition of a high ancestor, and I haven't fallen at all! ”

Zhang Zhao sighed.

"Gentlemen, I thought that the countermeasures that Zijing just gave were extremely correct...... My brother is powerful, but if there is a feasible solution, I am willing to do my best. Liu Beifu looked around at the Chinese martial arts again. And besides, according to Zijing's strategy, I don't mean to fight against his sword soldiers...... After the incident in Xuzhou, Sun Bofu, this kid, had a lot of actions, and repeatedly broke the contract, so why not let Yide and Gongjin cross the river from Guangling to take Wu County? I will go south to Danyang, and even Yuzhang will press the side of Wu County......"

Everyone listened attentively, Lu Su, Liu Ye and many generals on the right side of the seat were even more eyebrows dancing, but Liu Bei suddenly stopped.

"My lord?" Lu Su took a step forward and made a little probing.

"Still not right." Liu Bei raised his head and shook his head slowly. "Since my brother let Zijing rest assured to see the reality of Hebei, it seems that he has no fear, so I am only afraid that he will not have the opportunity to consolidate the rear with me at all...... But I really can't think of what he is going to do, he killed three relatives, shouldn't he take Pingxi Liangzhiwei to sit in Guanzhong for a period of time at this time, in order to deal with the Son of Heaven and appease the hearts of Chang'an? How can we calculate the original thing? ”

Lu Su and the others looked at each other, each of them speechless - no way, of course they could understand Liu Bei's worries and doubts, but just as Chen Deng, a young man, did not know the overall situation and truth of the matter in Xuzhou at the beginning, how could these people know how a powerful minister who has mastered the number of twenty-one in the world can deal with a genuine son of heaven with a four-hundred-year inheritance?

"The Son of Heaven sent Yang Qi to shoot the Taiwei outside the Qingming ......Gate," the messenger said cautiously.

"Tell the truth." Gongsun Xun hasn't had his heart beating as fast for many years. "Tell me the truth!"

"It's really the Son of Heaven who shot Yang Qi outside the Qingming Gate!" The messenger could certainly understand Gongsun Xun's astonishment.

"Didn't my big brother kill him?" Gongsun Xun stared at the other party for a long time, and after making sure that the other party had no need to lie to himself, he finally couldn't help but ask the sentence in his heart.

"Not really!" The messenger came to his senses and shook his head.

Gongsun Xun was completely stunned.

"Zhou Yu's character is Gongjin, and the people of Lujiang are also ...... At the beginning of Jian'an, in addition to the long nest, ignoring county affairs, gathering four or five hundred young and strong, going back and forth to Huaishang, walking without a trace. Zhenyi General Zhang flew to Dongcheng, met him on the road, thought he was a thief, and he would return to the official after being captured, and he would sue the left and right. Fei was furious and shouted: 'For the political side, how can anyone abandon the county and gather people to go to the rivers and lakes? What's your name? Yu replied: 'Zhou Yu also, Zhou, faithful for Zhou, auxiliary country will be strong Zhou; Yu, the high and low in the heart, the Sichuan Ze is dirty, and the mountain is hidden, so it is said that Jinyu hides flaws. Fei Yue is angry: "The failure of a county to govern, how can it be said that it is flawed?" 'It is tied to the donkey, and for three days he does not understand, and he returns to the nest, and takes the county to accumulate affairs, and holds a knife to do it. Yuyun's pen is like flying, judging things like galloping, and he accumulates politics in one day and three months. Fei sighed, but asked his ambitions, knowing that he wanted to join the army, so he recommended Liu Bei in Yuzhou. Prepare to speak with it, and judge the Zhonglang general with a weak crown, so that Guangling can learn the water army. β€”β€”"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
