Chapter 0408: Liu Bowen Sends Envoy to the Plains
Jian Yong felt that the trip to Bingzhou was not in vain!
Jian Yong originally wanted to remind Liu Mang to pay attention to Yuan Shao's threat, so that he took the initiative to befriend Liu Bei.
Now, it has become Jian Yong who is worried about Liu Bei's safety.
There is only one way to defuse Yuan Shao's threat and ensure the safety of the plain - befriend Liu Mang, hoping that he can contain Yuan Shao from the west!
However, Jian Yong's mission this time was to try to make Liu Mang take the initiative to show favor to Liu Bei, rather than Liu Bei taking the initiative to slap Liu Mang.
Moreover, Jian Yong has no right to propose the alliance between the two families.
What can I do?
Back at the inn, Jian Yong had no intention of sleeping......
β¦β¦
Liu Mang and others did not rest.
At the banquet, the purpose of one's own side can only be regarded as halfway through.
Through this exchange, forming an alliance with Liu Bei against Yuan Shao is not a big problem. However, there is still a tricky problem to solve.
In troubled times, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies.
Although Liu Mang and Gongsun Chan had conflicts, in the current situation, as the main force to contain Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan must not be allowed to defeat miserably.
If Gongsun Chan had been defeated at Jieqiao, Yuan Shao would have no threat from the north, and would inevitably turn his energy to Liu Bei in the southeast and Liu Mang in the west.
This is extremely detrimental to the development of the state.
Gongsun Zhan's defeat was inevitable, but he had to try to retain some strength.
Liu Mang was making every effort to lay out Hedong, and he had no time to cross the Taihang Mountain and harass Yuan Shao. Moreover, in doing so, you may suffer huge losses, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The best way is to try to get Liu Bei to send troops to help Gongsun Zan and avoid him being completely defeated.
However, without enough force to push, Liu Bei would not take a huge risk to support Gongsun Zhan.
What to do?
Liu Bowen said with a rare serious face: "Go to the plain and persuade Liu Xuande." β
"Mr. Berwyn can't go!" Without thinking, Liu Mang vetoed Liu Bowen's opinion.
Liu Bowen. can be described as Liu Mang's mastermind.
Liu Mang is accustomed to him being around, analyzing and planning, and adjusting strategies in time.
"Lord, persuade Liu Xuande. Matters. If we can fulfill our wish, we can save the sergeants of our state from casualties, and we can also win the opportunity for our state to develop steadily for one or two years. β
"No, no, I can't let you go on an adventure!"
This goes to Qingzhou. The road is far away, in case of an accident, but regret the mistake!
"Haha, please relax, lord. I think that back then, in the camp of the rebel Zhang Ju, he was still living freely, not to mention the Central Plains, a place in broad daylight? Liu Bowen's face showed a lewd smile of an old slippery head.
yes.
Others may be in danger, and this old Liu seems to be able to mix up wherever he goes.
Liu Mang thought for a while. I really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Liu Bowen, so I had to agree.
"Then, I'll send Youtian to escort you."
"Thank you, my lord. However, this matter needs to be carefully considered. If he took the initiative to go to the plains with Jian Xianhe, then Liu Xuande would be suspicious, which was not conducive to persuading him to send troops. β
"So what to do?"
Liu Bowen smiled slyly. "Try to get Jian Xianhe to send an invitation, in this way, if you go to the plain in the posture of a guest, Liu Xuande can be convinced!"
Liu Mang smiled, and muttered secretly in his heart: Old slippery head!
Good idea. But a suitable opportunity is needed. You can't just ask people to send out invitations.
"My lord, I have a plan. A few days ago, Uncle Zhang Zhi sent a letter, saying that he had settled in Yin Xingyang, Sili, Henan. I hope the Lord will keep his promises. He was released in the eldest son's family to Xingyang. The subordinates took the opportunity to escort Uncle Zhang Zhi's family, and at the same time sent Jian Xian and Donggui. On the way, he only needs to use words to make him realize the seriousness of the situation, and he will invite his subordinates to go to the plains with him to meet Liu Xuande. β
"That's a good idea!"
In this way, Liu Xuande will see. Liu Mang treats his former enemy Zhang Yang so faithfully that he will never suffer a loss if he befriends him and becomes an ally.
That's it!
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Jian Yong resigned.
After thinking about it for most of the night, Jian Yong had also made up his mind, hoping that Liu Mang would send someone to the plains with him to meet Liu Bei. On the one hand, in order to get closer to the relationship between the two sides, on the other hand, he also wanted to use the mouth of the staff of the annexation state to make Liu Bei have a clearer understanding of the form of Jizhou.
It's just that Jian Yong knows that Liu Bowen is Liu Mang's important military advisor, and Liu Mang will not let him leave his side easily.
It was inconvenient to invite Liu Bowen to the plains, so Jian Yong opened his mouth to Liu Mang and asked Li Yan to go back with him.
Liu Mang pretended to be embarrassed for a while and agreed to Jian Yong's request.
Assigned Liu Bowen to send Jian Yong out of Bingzhou on his behalf. By the way, Zhang Yang's family was escorted to Xingyang.
In order to ensure the safety of Liu Bowen and Li Yan, Liu Mang ordered Pei Yuanqing, who was highly favored, to lead a team of elite guards to accompany him to protect.
β¦β¦
Seeing off Jian Yong, Liu Mang rushed back to Pingyang, Hedong.
According to Liu Mang's instructions, Shan Xiongxin sent someone to send Xiaocui from the Yi family to Pingyang.
Xiaocui is a woman who is pregnant, and she can't let her do that kind of business anymore.
Liu Mang was willing to let him go to Taiyuan, but Xiaocui was a native of Hedong and was unwilling to leave, so Liu Mang found a suitable place for her to settle, which was Tong Xiangyu's post house.
With Tong Xiangyu taking care of her, she gave birth to a child peacefully and raised her as an adult, which can be regarded as a comfort to the soul of the deceased.
Airplanes......
The system boots.
Hey? I don't know when, the system was upgraded again.
This upgrade has very few contents, only two:
1. Simplify the way to start and complete the five-circle task.
Previously, system tasks were triggered reminders and task details were given after completion. Some of the charismatic tasks are to be completed in stages and given hints.
In this upgrade, only the prompt after completion is retained, and the trigger prompt is canceled. The content of the reminder has also been appropriately simplified. Also change the way the charm task is completed in stages to one complete.
2. The method of summoning special talents has been upgraded, and detailed instructions will be given when the special summoning is performed again.
After the system upgrade message, there is a reminder message that the task is completed:
Mission type and number: Charisma 1004
Task trigger: Time Shift
Description: Be empathetic to your subordinates
Reward: Charisma +2
Complete the task and harvest the charm value, Liu Mang is not excited, only sentimental.
Time has changed, are you okay......
After the task prompt, there is a reminder of the change of the five measurements: charm +2, and the sum of the five measurements is increased to 328
β¦β¦
Xiaocui is a diligent person, not only with his hands and feet, but also with his mouth. Her mouth is no worse than Tong Xiangyu.
Shi Qian died, and Xiao Cui was sad in her heart. met Tong Xiangyu, who was empathetic and could speak, Xiaocui had a channel to pour out her grief.
Tong Xiangyu accompanied her to chat, accompanied her to tears, and also aroused her sadness. Before I saw my fiancΓ©, I became a widow. met Yan Qing and finally found a home, but when will I be able to tie the knot with Yan Qing......
Liu Mang didn't participate in the conversation between the two women, but he understood them, and he was also thinking in his heart: When the dust settles in Hedong, he will hold a grand wedding for Su Dingfang Hua Mulan, Yan Qing and Tong Xiangyu......
β¦β¦
Xu Shiji sent a letter, and Wang Meng contacted again and made an appointment to meet the lord Liu Mang. (To be continued.) )
