The conversation between Yuan Lang and Liu Bei went very smoothly, and the two sides expressed their respective views on the current pattern of Jizhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Bei's views coincide with Yuan Lang, and they can be summed up in eight words, sincere unity and unity to the outside world.

The amount of information contained in this eight-character policy is very large, and the so-called sincere unity, to put it mildly, is the cooperation of Yuan and Liu, and to put it in a big way, it is to unite all the forces that can be united in Jizhou, and to win over all the forces that can be used by us.

Externally, the two references are also distinguished. One is the Bohai Yuan Shao force that Yuan Lang and Liu Bei think are the most tricky at present, and their joint attack this time is to deal with Yuan Shao, so as not to dominate his family and be passive everywhere when the time comes.

Another reference refers to the separatist forces of the princes outside Jizhou, whether it is Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gongsun Zan of Beiping, Cao Cao, the new lord of Yanzhou, or Tian Kai of Qingzhou, Yuan Shu of Shouchun, etc., these princes can all stare at Jizhou's every move with wide eyes, once Jizhou is in civil strife, it is difficult for these people to guarantee that they will not raise troops to attack Jizhou for their own interests, and when the time comes, there will be eggs under the nest, so Yuan and Liu are unanimous with the outside world, and it refers more to the smooth transfer of rights in Jizhou, especially when Han Fu's life is not in danger. This sense of crisis must be put on their agenda as early as possible.

"Brother Xuande, the big tent has been prepared for you, you have worked hard all the way, first go to the big tent for lunch, and then we are discussing the march together!"

Yuan Lang has been sending Liu Bei and others out of his military tent, and the march at this moment will inevitably snub Liu Bei and others, so after discussion, the two sides agreed to repair for half a day first, and then talk about the march.

Liu Bei arched his hand, which was regarded as receiving Yuan Lang's favor, he looked at the young military general behind Yuan Lang enviously before leaving, and then walked towards the big tent prepared for him with a smile under the guidance of the soldiers sent by Yuan Lang.

After Liu Bei left, Yuan Lang glanced back at Zhao Yun behind him, and he knew that when Liu Bei heard Zhao Yun, the commander of the three armies, introduce him, the expression on his face was irrepressible excitement.

Like such a general, like Guan Yu and Zhang Feizhi's bravery, he Liu Bei didn't want to take it for himself, Tian Yu made Liu Bei overjoyed, and he couldn't compare with Zhao Yun, who can fight well, you know, today's world is not written and discussed under the pen and knife, but it depends on the wisdom, bravery, and leading soldiers of the generals, and it depends on the soldiers' fearlessness of death.

Zhao Yun's actions to govern the army also reached the ears of Liu Bei in Pingyuan County, and many of his later military reforms were learned from Zhao Yun based on gourd paintings, but he Liu Bei didn't say it.

Liu Bei's thoughts in Yuan Lang naturally couldn't figure it out thoroughly, but what he was more concerned about now was the one thing he privately asked Zhao Yun to send someone to investigate.

"Zilong, have the people of Pingyuan County checked them one by one? Can you find something suspicious? ”

Yuan Lang led Zhao Yun back to his military tent, and immediately asked after sitting down.

Zhao Yun also sat down and replied: "There are a total of two hundred and twenty-three military horses brought by Pingyuan County, and there is nothing suspicious about these, but the two carriages that came after breaking away from the large army are somewhat suspicious. ”

"What's suspicious?"

Yuan Lang immediately asked.

"The first carriage that our soldiers have inspected on the grounds that they are on the cart to assist in carrying items is two middle-aged Confucian scholars......"

Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Yuan Lang reflexively asked, "Confucianism?" Can you ask for identity information? ”

Zhao Yun seemed to have guessed that Yuan Lang would ask such a question, so he calmly replied: "These two people are the counselors of Liu Bei's mansion, and they are two brothers, the elder brother is named Xin Ping, the word Zhongzhi, and his younger brother is named Xin Bi, and the word George!" ”

Yuan Lang was shocked when he heard this, aren't these two brothers the Xin family brothers who were recommended to Beiping Gongsun Zan to persuade Liu Bei to come to the plains to serve as Taishou, why, they are now being recruited by Liu Bei, and have they become Liu Bei's recruits, this Liu Bei is really thirsty for talent, and no matter who it is, as long as he can see it, he can hardly escape from the palm of his hand.

Yuan Lang didn't have time to worry about the details of how the Xin brothers switched to Liu Bei's account, after all, the two brothers were able to persuade Liu Bei and dispel Gongsun Zhan's ambition to covet Jizhou in such a dangerous situation, they were also the benefactors of Jizhou, and Yuan Lang didn't want to embarrass them.

"And who's the second driver?"

Yuan Lang couldn't wait to ask Zhao Yundao.

Zhao Yun said with a little hesitation: "The soldiers got into the car under the pretext, but they were stopped by the guards of the other party, after several negotiations, a person came out of the car, but it was a woman, according to our people's report, this woman is Liu Beixinna's concubine, and their person is called Mrs. Gan!" ”

"Mrs. Gan?" Yuan Lang knew that Liu Bei had seven or eight ladies or concubines in his life, and this Mrs. Gan should be the woman who followed Liu Bei earlier, but her status was not high, and she stayed by Liu Bei's side as a concubine.

"So, in the end, you didn't get into this car?"

Yuan Lang said after knowing the whole story.

"That's true, Mrs. Nagan insisted that the carriage was full of family members, and our people didn't work to clean it up, so our people came back to report and seek the next step!"

Zhao Yun replied regretfully.

Yuan Lang thought for a while and said, "Let's stop this matter!" It seems that the princess must be on the last car. What Mrs. Gan, but she just wants to cover up, the real protagonist should be the one who doesn't show up! ”

"The meaning of the lord ......"

Zhao Yun asked.

"Let's tacitly do it, you are so tossed, probably Liu Bei also knows!" Yuan Lang continued, "Those who come are guests, since they come to hug our thighs, let them get the warmth of home!" Remember, the food of the soldiers of Pingyuan County is the same as that of our army, and you must not be lazy! ”

"No!" Zhao Yun said again, "But the last general is worried that the other party must have a back move, otherwise after these two hundred or so rode to Yecheng, they won't be able to make too many waves!" ”

Yuan Lang pondered for a moment and ordered: "Pass my commander's order, order our scouts to scatter around Yecheng to listen to the news, once any army secretly marches, it must be reported immediately!" Liu Bei, I'm not worried, what I'm worried about is the woman behind him, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, when I was in Changshan County, I have hinted several times that I set up a stove and strive for the power of Jizhou, I think even if she changes places to stay, this kind of psychology of manipulating others will not change, as the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, it seems that he wants to go against the wishes of his niece, with his current strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it! ”

Yuan Lang and Zhao Yun can be said to have nothing to say now, just say that the letter he received written in Liu Bei's tone, he immediately smelled the "taste" of Princess Wannian from between the lines, so after he had a heart-to-heart with Zhao Yun, he immediately arranged for Zhao Yun to privately explore the truth of this speculation, and now it seems that this possibility is extremely great.

Zhao Yun stayed in Yuan Lang's big tent and talked with Yuan Lang for a long time before leaving, and Yuan Lang soon met with the messenger sent by Liu Bei to deliver the message in his big tent, and he was also an acquaintance, the younger brother of the Xin family's brothers, Xin Bi.

Xin Bi first talked to Yuan Lang about the past, but he didn't mention anything about himself and how his brother switched to Liu Bei's account, which Yuan Lang knew and didn't provoke this matter.

In the end, Xin Bi explained the meaning of coming here, that is, Liu Bei hoped that Yuan Lang could repair here for half a day, and then set off for Yecheng early tomorrow morning.

In this regard, Yuan Lang agreed without thinking about it, for him, every move made by the other party was the beginning of his behind-the-scenes arrangement, he couldn't guess the other party's intentions, so he just came to a step-by-step plan, and he wanted to see what Liu Bei and the others could do in his army.
