Everyone dispersed, Liu Bei left Cheng Yu behind, then drank together, and lay down on the same bed at night to show closeness and trust.

Liu Bei can be said to have exhausted his mind to Cheng Yu, first "shaking hands and making peace" in public, and then "sleeping in the same bed", Cheng Yu can only be a cow and a horse for Liu Bei for a lifetime if he has a little loyalty. In the future, Cheng Yu left Liu Bei and sought another job, and the new lord was afraid that he would have to mumble in his heart, Liu Bei was so polite to you, you can leave, and how can you be loyal to me.

On the couch, Liu Bei asked Cheng Yu: "Cheng Gong, I sent troops to Dongjun to destroy the Black Mountain thieves, if I get nothing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain internally, and I am also unwilling in my heart." If you forcibly occupy Dongjun, you may have a dislike with Liu Yanzhou, and make a big enemy for small profits, which is not done by a wise man. I don't know if Cheng Gong has the best of both worlds and can solve my problem at this time. ”

This is a bit of "not wanting the horses to run fast, but not giving the horses grazing." A sense of déjà vu.

When Cheng Yu heard this, he lay there, stretched out his hand and touched his beard, frowning and silent. He was also choked by Liu Bei's question. It's just that Cheng Yu just took refuge in Liu Bei, and was treated very politely by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei asked himself for the first time, so he had to think carefully and come up with a better way.

Otherwise, it will inevitably be despised by Liu Bei in the future, which Cheng Yu cannot tolerate.

Cheng Yuhuai has not met for decades, obviously he is a great talent in the world, but because his family background is not obvious, he is forty or fifty years old, and he can only condescend to the county and be a small official, no wonder people have a bad temper.

Finally, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I saw that the world was in turmoil, and I didn't want to go out easily. It's just that he can't see who is the "sun" he should hold, and he wants to take a closer look to see who can be like the sun. In case you meet a non-person, what dream is in "Mount Tai holding the sun", wouldn't it become a big joke.

The reason why Cheng Yu took refuge in Liu Bei was that he was moved by Liu Bei's remarks of "sunrise in the east", but he was not optimistic about Liu Bei.

You must know that there are really few princes in the world who can firmly control the land of a state. What's more, Liu Bei is not only a corporal of Lixian, but also has a reputation for winning all battles, which also adds a lot of points.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yu said: "General, the so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, the general wants the best of both worlds, but I'm afraid he can't." However, if you want to minimize Liu Yanzhou's rebound, you can't. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, he was worthy of being Cao Cao's subordinates, a rare person who allowed literature and martial arts, and he really got it.

So he asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Cheng Yu said: "The Montenegrin Army is known as a million people, although Bai Rao was beheaded by the general, its power is still there, and it cannot be underestimated. The general can use the name of guarding against the Montenegrin army to recommend one person as the lieutenant of Dongjun County, and stationed troops in Dongwuyang. That Wang Qiu also asked him to be his Dongjun Taishou, come to a two-point Dongjun, the county lieutenant is nominally a subordinate of the Taishou, and he has nothing to say if he wants to come to Liu Yanzhou. However, it is better to wait for Liu Yanzhou to come, and then the general will discuss with him in person. ”

The county lieutenant, the commander of the military guard, the rank ratio of 2,000 stones. In the Han Dynasty, people often called Taishou a county general, and a county lieutenant as a deputy general, and later changed his name to Du Wei. After Emperor Guangwu was revived, he probably wanted to save a little money, abolished the captains of each county, and temporarily set up them when they used the troops, and they were all in the province, but the border counties were still set up. As a result, the Taishou family was dominant, and if Emperor Guangwu knew about it, he didn't know what to think.

Generally speaking, if you are too strong, then you will encroach on the military power of the county lieutenant, and if you are too heavy, you will encroach on the power of the taishou, and more often, the two sides will act separately and do not interfere with each other.

Liu Bei asked: "Cheng Gong, do you want to be the county lieutenant." ”

This is not good, in the past, Liu Bei has always relied on Xi Zhicai militarily, and he is often uneasy in his heart, because Liu Bei knows that Xi Zhicai will die early, and he is afraid that one day Xi Zhicai will die, and he will fall into Liu Bei's embarrassment in history. Now with Cheng Yu, I feel a lot more relieved. If he becomes the lieutenant of Dongjun, what will happen, in case there is a change, who will Liu Bei find to cry.

Cheng Yu said: "I have already resigned from Liu Yanzhou's conquest, how can I still be the lieutenant of Dongjun again, and I also ask the general to ask Gao Ming." ”

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, Zang Hong, isn't this the most suitable person.

At the beginning, Liu Bei brought Zang Hong, which had a little bit of historical gossip, but now it seems that it is crooked, and it is just right to use Zang Hong as the lieutenant of Dongjun.

Historically, Zang Hong was a subordinate of Yuan Shao, which was originally the history of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao was afraid of Zang Hong's prestige in Qingzhou, so he moved to Dongjun Taishou. Zhang Miao rebelled against Cao Cao, Zhang Chao was killed by Cao Cao's family, Zang Hong begged Yuan Shao to send troops to save Zhang Chao because of Zhang Chao, Yuan Shao did not allow it, Zang Hong rebelled, Yuan Shao fought for more than a year, and finally relied on the food in the city to run out, which brought down Dongjun.

And Zang Hong killed his beloved concubine to eat the soldiers, and the soldiers were salty and runny, and seven or eight thousand men and women died on their pillows. When Zang Hong was arrested, his fellow villager Chen Rong shouted to Yuan Shao: "Today Ning died on the same day as Zang Hong, not on the same day as the general." "Zang Hong sent two Simas out of the city to ask Lü Bu for help before the city was broken, and by the time they returned, Dongwuyang had already fallen, and they both went to the enemy and died. It can be seen that Zang Hong has won the hearts of the people.

In any case, letting Zang Hong be the lieutenant of Dongjun and dividing Dongjun into two, Zang Hong lives in the north of the big river, which is indeed a way that can barely deal with the past.

The next day, Liu Bei recommended Zang Hong as the governor of Dongjun and stationed troops in Dongwuyang to guard against the Montenegrin army.

After another seven or eight days, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, finally arrived, and heard that Liu Bei was going to promote Zang Hong as the lieutenant of Dongjun, Liu Dai was displeased, and secretly annoyed that Liu Bei interfered in Yanzhou affairs, and learned that Cheng Li had recognized Liu Bei as the master, and even changed his name to Cheng Yu, and he conquered Cheng Li twice, but he did not come, and he was even more jealous in his heart.

It's just that Dongjun was saved by Liu Bei after all, and the Black Mountain Army was also defeated by Liu Bei, so Liu Dai had no choice but to remain silent. I don't know if Liu Dai acquiesced in the matter, or expressed his opposition with silence.

Seeing this, Tao Qiuhong stepped forward and persuaded: "Liu Yuanjun, the Black Mountain army is one million, and it is the trouble of the henchmen, Liu Qingzhou recommended the governor of Dongjun, also for the safety of Yanzhou." Zang Ziyuan is also a child of a famous family, and it is okay to be one or two thousand stones, not to mention the captain of a county. ”

Liu Dai had no choice but to thank Liu Bei: "The Black Mountain Army ravaged Dongjun, thank you Liu Qingzhou for coming to help and relieving the siege of Puyang." ”

Seeing that Liu Dai deliberately called Liu Bei "Liu Qingzhou", but did not mention the matter of the governor of Dongjun, Liu Bei understood in his heart that Liu Dai was still unhappy that he was meddling in Yanzhou affairs. The heart said, if I hadn't swept away the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it would be your turn to be destroyed next year.

At that moment, Liu Bei said: "Although the number of the Black Mountain Army is large, but it is a rabble, I led the army to come, and it was easily pacified, only four days before and after, but it was just a small Kou, and I didn't dare to take credit." ”

The corners of Liu Dai's mouth twitched, he didn't dare to say more, Yuan Shao in history, as the pastor of Jizhou, appointed Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, Liu Dai was afraid of Yuan Shao's family background and did not dare to fight. Now, Liu Bei recommended Zang Hong to be the lieutenant of Dongjun, so he naturally wanted to scare Liu Dai, but Liu Bei's family background was not good, so he had to use his battlefield achievements to scare Liu Dai.

Liu Dai was really frightened, so he had to say: "Since Xuande Gong is also to prevent the Montenegrin Army from entering Kou Yanzhou, he recommended Zang Ziyuan as the county lieutenant, then this matter will be settled." It's just that the county lieutenant is the deputy of the Taishou, and in the future, I hope that the Taishou and the county lieutenant can work together for the benefit of the people of the eastern county. ”
