"Yuan Shao is not here, how can he find out about him. It was Kong Ling who received Dong Zhuo's letter, but I didn't know about Liu Dai's side, and I only heard fragmentary news, and Dong Gongren didn't continue. Thinking about it, Dong Gongren had already guessed that Liu Dai should have received Dong Zhuo's letter, I guessed that it should be Yanzhou Mu Yu Zhou Mu or something, and it was impossible to contact other things...... Also, those people are also dividing my people and investigating me. Oh, Jiao Chu should have told the five assassins in my camp who captured Liu Pet chasing him, otherwise, I wouldn't have been invited to participate in the discussion this time, as for not coming to pursue me, it should be that today's incident has played a role, they are afraid that I have their handle, and the Yuzhou incident happened, and there is no time to pursue it for the time being. ”

Liu Zheng smiled and pointed at Luoyang, "But it's all temporary, whether I have a handle or not, I will definitely have no good fruits to eat in the future." Now, they're ignoring me. Yuan Haogong said earlier that my purpose is to go to Luoyang...... Uh, Zhicai, you can just ask Brother Meng De later, I won't explain. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled, and Liu Zhengdao: "In order to go to Luoyang, there can't be many accidents." Originally, I didn't want Yuan Shu and Liu Chong to occupy Yingchuan, which would weaken Brother Meng De's deployment here, and make the relationship between the allies worse. However, now that Yuan Shu and King Chen have mixed up in Yingchuan County, Yuan Shao can't stay in Lugut Mountain for more, and he can just solve the siege of Yide. ”

"You still haven't said why you guess Yuan Shao so much." Xun Di looked at Cao Cao, smiled and joked: "Don't forget, Meng De is Yuan Shao's hair. Such rumors have ruined his good deeds, be careful that he stabs you in the back. ”

"I'm still an ally of Brother Mengde." Liu Zhengyi said, Cao Cao patted Liu Zheng's back, smiled slightly, Liu Zheng smiled, and said: "Then we have to start from these two years." The rumor that the Holy One is not his own son, you should know. and Liu Youzhou has been repeatedly proposed by Yuan Shao to make ......"

"I have a private seal, but Liu Youzhou didn't use it without consent. The seal of the general of the chariot cavalry, he showed it to me half a year ago. Although I was skeptical, I always felt ...... He may change his mind. Cao Cao sighed, "Are you planning to make trouble for him?" ”

Liu Zheng nodded, "Yes, from all indications, the rumors were made by Yuan Shao, and perhaps Yuan Shu was also involved." After all, the source of the news was in Runan County, Yuzhou, and then it spread more and more widely. Even if you don't mention those, just weighing the system can show that Yuan Shao doesn't have the heart to attack Luoyang, he is now the leader of the alliance, and even Liu Youzhou has to send troops to deal with him, you say, is he attacking Luoyang first, or is he aiming at a simple foothold first, for example, those borderless lands? When he asked Liu Youzhou to take control, Yuan Taifu and the others were in Luoyang, saying that Yuan Shao would take care of the life and death of his clansmen and give up himself to stand at the pinnacle of power...... I don't believe it. ”

Everything needs to be considered from the character of the person who does things, what is Yuan Shao's character, Xi Zhicai also knows some from Cao Cao's mouth, it is very likely to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and first complete his ambition to be ranked as the third duke.

In fact, there are many promoters behind this matter, those scholars who support Yuan Shao, a few years ago, because of the disaster of the party, the family was repeatedly persecuted, and they did not have much good impression of the court, probably similar to "When you don't need me, you will trample on me wantonly, and when you need me, you will come to please me?" I'm sorry, I won't help", now that Dong Zhuo is powerful, natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere, it is normal for them to be unwilling to sell their property and sell their lives to attack Dong Zhuo, so it is most reasonable to help Yuan Shao take a few borderless lands, which not only earn fame but also have a new territory.

Liu Zheng's inference was extremely reasonable, and Xi Zhicai also agreed, but he also found in his heart that Liu Zheng did not regard Yuan Shao and those scholars who were wise and self-protecting as allies at all, and they were quite similar to Cao Cao, and then frowned slightly, "What Liu Gongzi said is indeed credible. But you seem to have been planning for King Chen to attack Yingchuan from the beginning, with the intention of making the alliance leader and General Yuan's brother ...... Why? Show the enemy weakness, giving Dong Zhuo the illusion that he doesn't need to move the capital? But with King Chen's beginning, others may not follow suit, and if this continues, the alliance will fall apart sooner or later...... Even if it is true as you said, you have been persuaded to attack Luoyang, and this matter will not last long, if someone obstructs it...... You're going to do something in Luoyang, but I'm afraid it's gone......"

After the words were said to pause more and more, Xi Zhicai's eyes swept around on the map, and suddenly fixed on a certain place, and then raised his finger and pointed, which was the direction of Qingzhou, "Do you want the alliance leader to pay attention to Qingzhou?" ”

Liu Zheng also had to sigh, Xi Zhicai's vision is unique, and he can guess many benefits and disadvantages with just a few words, so he nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "What I said earlier is right, but it's not me, it's me and Yuan Haogong who both think so." Qingzhou is also a borderless land, although there are bandits and bandits, but at least it is not as vigilant as the Southern Xiongnu in the state, and most of the Qingzhou scholars also recognize the Runan Yuan clan. Moreover, many people in the court benefited from the wolf riding under Lu Bu, and those scholars in the state are now growing stronger because Dong Zhuo did not participate in the affairs of the state and was assassinated by the state, and they may not be willing to surrender to Yuan Shao. Only Qingzhou, as long as Yuan Shao sends someone over, at least the Shi clan will definitely support him. ”

"I'll just say that it's not just Cao who pays attention to Qingzhou." Cao Cao smiled at Xi Zhicai, turned his head and asked with a smile, "What does Deran mean?" Since even the alliance leader can't be contaminated, and Qingzhou can't be left unattended, don't you have a more suitable candidate? It can't be Gongsun Chan, right? ”

"Naturally, it can't be. None of them are justifiable, and I might have told you in a while, but now it's okay to say it first. Liu Zheng smiled, and his fingers drew along the territorial boundary of Qingzhou, "Brother Meng De, look, Qingzhou four countries and two counties, you say, who is the most suitable to manage?" ”

Qingzhou includes the plain country, Jinan country, Qi country, Beihai country, Le'an County and Donglai County, although there have been turmoil in these years, but the general situation is known to everyone, not to mention that Liu Zheng only said such a sentence, just said that people want to manage, Xun Di looked at the map for a moment, and then from Liu Zheng said the word "country" thought of a plan, pointed to Donglai County, and pointed to Youzhou Liaodong County, which is across the sea from Donglai County, and then shook his head, "Liu Youzhou will not make an exception, and he is in charge of two states, and the weighing system is only one step away." He is a human being, and he will not be like this. ”

Cao Cao also nodded, seeing that Liu Zheng was smiling and silent, he thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "You want to pick out a prince among the four kingdoms to manage Qingzhou?" Because Cao was the prime minister of Jinan in the past, if none of those princes wants to take on this position, do you plan to let me say it? ”

"Exactly! I already have a lobbyist for this now, and you are just in case of need. Yuan Hao elected ......"

Before Liu Zheng finished speaking, Xun Di patted Liu Zheng's shoulder and said excitedly: "Wen Ruo! Do you want Wen Ruo to talk about King Xiang Jinan?! Or even let Wen Ruo take people to govern Qingzhou? When Xun Di said this, he slapped his left palm with his right fist, "Not bad!" That's right! In the past, the second uncle served as the minister of Jinan, and the three brothers Wen Ruo also had a lot of contact with the prince of Jinan. Now that he said it in the past, and Zhang Mancheng and others responded to it, the Qingzhou bandits would not dare to make trouble, and they would ...... at that time."

Seeing Xun Di's excited face, Liu Zheng rarely shouted "Second uncle", and then waved his hand and said: "You guessed right, but I just said lobbyist, not governance, don't be so excited." ”

Xun Di was stunned for a moment, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai also looked at each other, and heard Liu Zheng smile and said: "I plan to persuade Liu Youzhou to send Liu Beijia over to assist a few princes, and then Brother Wen Ruo and Brother Xiu Ruo will also go over, isn't Brother Youruo there now with Yuan Shao?" Let Brother Youruo also pass. ”

Everyone was stunned, Liu Zheng smiled, "The King of the Plains and the King of the North Sea have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the disasters of these years, almost these two veins have been broken, before Brother Meng De governed Jinan well, and now the princes and princesses of the two countries are protected by Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, and then there is Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, to help, Liu Youzhou to help, and now the bandits have caused Qingzhou to be devastated, and it should not be a problem for them to accept this suggestion and manage the entire Qingzhou together." ”

"As for Liu Beijia, he himself is also a member of the Han family, and the three Wen Ruo brothers represent the power of these loyal ministers and righteous men such as us. Many forces are balanced in Qingzhou, and Liu Youzhou is taking care of it, saying that there will be no civil strife, no one can guarantee it, but at least it can guarantee that the land in Qingzhou will not fall into the hands of others other than the surname Liu, and it will not be occupied by the Han clan relatives as their own. ”

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Xun Di and Xi Zhicai nodded in unison, but Cao Cao looked at Liu Zheng with some silence. After a while, Cao Cao pressed Liu Zheng's shoulder, patted him hard, and said with emotion: "Three years or four years ago...... When you and I first wrote to you, Cao didn't know how to deal with the relationship with you, and always felt that you were a good person, but this temperament ...... Oh, later I got to know more and more, and I felt that Deran's courage and courage were really extraordinary. When I saw it today, I knew it, no wonder you like to go your own way, no one has a unique vision than you. Cao Mou said honestly, I only thought that Qingzhou couldn't fall into the hands of traitors, but I really don't know who to choose...... I also vaguely felt in my heart that if Cao was pushed out one day, he might also ...... Cao was ashamed of himself. ”

"This bird just likes to mess around, but when it comes to nonsense, people who can't get used to it will be even more unaccustomed to it, and people who like it really like it." Xun Di laughed, and Xi Zhicai also laughed: "Wen Ruogongzi really has a unique vision. ”

"No, no, no, you're all wrong. Actually, I didn't think about it so much, it was all the result of the deduction with the teacher and Brother Wen Ruo in the past, naturally, this time I would make up my mind to do this, and it was Yuan Haogong who took the lead. Liu Zheng shook his head, then pointed to Ji County, Hanoi, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am ......"

There was a voice coming in from outside the door, probably able to hear it because Cao Cao had not been to the Fengji camp for a long time, and someone came to urge, seeing Xiahoudun enter the door, Cao Cao sent him to deal with the soldier first, and looked back at Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng smiled, "I just want Yuan Shao to come over, that's all." ”

Cao Cao and the three of them were stunned, and Liu Zheng knocked Ji County with his knuckles, "Let's see what he thinks." He's so far away, doesn't he seem too high and unfathomable? If you want to compliment him and hit him, you can't see his true reaction, and only by pulling him over can we see his true face clearly. Whether he is a loyal minister or a traitor can also be seen by the whole world. Oh, and besides, there's Yuan Shu...... When the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, but they fight, this face, not to mention the whole world, some people with lofty ideals will definitely see it clearly. ”

The words made the camp fall silent, and after a while, with the expressions of the three of them, Liu Zheng strode out, "Okay, I'm going to be busy." You guys do it for yourselves. Anyway, the Yuan Shao brothers attacked Luoyang, and I didn't have much hope...... Now that King Chen has attacked the city, I want to come to my little friend who has completed the task and is waiting for me to rescue him, as well as the Xun family...... Next, I have to deal with them with Yuan Haogong. I have to try to get myself out of the suspicion of this matter and stabilize the situation in the entire Kanto region as soon as possible, alas...... Brother Meng De, you say that you are not worried, there are not enough people at all, you have to run around by yourself, why are you and I so unimportant? Hey, you say, if I get the name of 'royal brother', won't it be like this? ”

Seeing Liu Zheng's back disappear at the mouth of the tent, Cao Cao opened his mouth, looked at Xun Di and Xi Zhicai, and said with a stiff face: "This joke is not funny at all......

"I'd rather joke ......"

Xun Di said abruptly. He naturally knows that according to the generation, the current emperor is Liu Zheng's brother, but not everyone in the clan can make the emperor call brother, just by Liu Zheng's current identity, how can he be recognized by the emperor and then called "imperial brother", even if the emperor approves, the court will not recognize Liu Zheng's identity as "imperial brother", and let Liu Zheng rise to prominence.

Of course, the most important problem is that Liu Zheng's steps are not ordinary, and the road he walks is not a road that ordinary people can accept, Xun Di can think that if Liu Zheng is in power, he is afraid that he will really come to the throne, plus Zhang Mancheng's group of people who are reckless, when the time comes, the unruly people who claim to be famous nobles in the court and outside the court will definitely be hit by Liu Zheng because they do not recognize Liu Zheng, and then those people will also rebel.

That's a bloody storm......

Xi Zhicai ignored these, hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "That, lord, can you tell a certain Liu Gongzi what he did?" We can also help...... It's not a secret, everyone else works so hard, a certain family listens to Liu Gongzi's words every day here to exercise, but it's embarrassing to eat idle meals next to you...... You can at least give me something to do...... If it goes on like this, a certain family will really go to Liu Gongzi. Oh, I'll assist the son, I'll go to ......"

Cao Cao glared, went out to beckon the soldiers who came to urge him to go back, turned his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Zhicai, there is virtue and jade, you and I behave well, Cao thinks that you and I can also achieve great things." For example, the matter of Yuzhou Mu and Yanzhou Mu that Fang Cai Deran has never said, someone has to watch it, right? And let my original brother come over and discuss sending troops...... Taking advantage of such a good day this month, I don't think you and I will achieve nothing. ”

Xi Zhicai was stunned, then nodded and laughed.

He didn't forget, now when he goes up to the court and down to the market, there is a very common saying, which almost everyone believes is true: In May, the Lord is especially fierce, and everything is not appropriate, so it is advisable to cast a blade and send troops!

Then it came to the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yuan Shao, who was stationed at the foot of Lugu Mountain, naturally had no intention of celebrating the festival, but recently, as the army pressed into Lugut Mountain, he surrounded the mountain peak called Tiger Mountain where the poisonous army was located, and he was in a really good mood. After receiving Feng Ji's letter last night, he sent someone to send Liu Zheng's letter copied by Dong Zhao to Tiger Mountain overnight, and he was in a better mood.

After waiting all night, it was already dusk, and as time passed, no one on the Tiger Mountain side surrendered according to the instructions in the letter, except for the deserters, and he began to suspect that he seemed to have done something stupid......
