Chapter 295 Gongsun Sheng's Recommendation
Since the death of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei led Beiping Taishou, but in fact, he sat on the right Beiping, Liaoxi, Changli, Xuanyi and other four counties. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gongsun Zan originally had more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were strong troops. But after Gongsun Chan attacked Jizhou, he was defeated several times, and only half of the soldiers and horses were defeated.
But Liu Bei has these 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the bravery of Zhang and the others, which can be regarded as a strong prince.
Taking advantage of the death of Gongsun Zhan, Di Qing was the main general, Pan Feng was the vanguard, and Fu was awarded the military division, and the 30,000 army sent troops to the right Beiping, stationed in the end, wanting to recover the entire territory of Youzhou in one fell swoop, and complete the strategy formulated by Liu Wei to rely on Qingzhou across the sea.
When an army of 30,000 came to attack, Liu Bei also raised an army of 30,000 to resist, and when Gongsun Zan was in mourning, the 30,000 army was dressed in linen and filial piety, ready to go on the expedition, which can also be described as violent.
On the eve of the expedition, Gongsun Sheng came to see Liu Bei and said: "Xuande Gong, now that you are sitting firmly in Beiping, and I have done my filial piety, I will go to Yunyou!" I came to say goodbye to my uncle. ”
"Virtuous nephew leaving? How can this work! Liu Bei greeted Gongsun Sheng on the couch, and the two sat opposite each other and began to talk.
Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "Sheng is a lazy person, who only loves to travel all over the world, seek the Tao everywhere, and make friends!" ”
"Alas!" Liu Bei sighed and stared at Gongsun Shengdao: "I'm afraid that the virtuous nephew won't be able to leave in a short time!" ”
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Liu Yu's subordinate Pan Feng led 30,000 troops to attack, and he was frustrated as a military advisor, although I raised 30,000 troops, but I may not be his opponent! What's more, Brother Bo Jue is newly mourned, although I was promoted to be a Taishou, but I am not popular, if the virtuous nephew leaves, won't the soldiers think that I am ......" Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Sheng and said with burning eyes.
Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard lightly, and understood what Liu Bei meant, Liu Bei's meaning is that once I leave, those soldiers only said that Liu Bei would eliminate dissidents, and he would dare to drive away the only heir as soon as he became a taishou. If someone deliberately takes advantage of this matter, it will inevitably cause turmoil.
As soon as Liu Bei saw Gongsun Sheng's appearance, he knew that he understood, and begged: "Bei is an incompetent person, who has been pushed to be too guarded, but he also knows that he is conscientious and will definitely keep this foundation!" Pan Feng led the army to attack, I am not absolutely sure to repel him, if the virtuous nephew leaves, then the army's heart will be even more unstable! Please also ask the virtuous nephew to stay for the time being, since you don't want to be a director, I won't give you an official position, but you have to go with me on this expedition, otherwise you will definitely be defeated! ”
Gongsun Sheng was ashamed to hear it and said: "It's my nephew who is not thoughtful, no matter what, Yunyou can go anywhere, this time, I will accompany my uncle to go on a trip to stabilize the morale of the army." ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is the best!" ”
Leaving Gongsun Sheng, Liu Bei was preparing to go on the expedition, which can be described as the three fires of the new officials, and summoned officials to come to discuss things. The first is military discipline, although Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are strong, but because of the perennial battles with foreign races, the military discipline is not very good, and the robbery of the people happens from time to time.
The first thing Liu Wei did was to restrain the soldiers, rectify military discipline, and not allow soldiers to plunder the people.
The second thing is to promote talents, Liu Bei has been adrift for half his life, and he has deeply realized that no one is talented. Although Guan Zhang is brave under his hands, he lacks resourcefulness, although Shan Jing, Tian Kai, Guan Jing, Zou Dan and others are loyal, but most of them are mediocre and difficult to take on big responsibilities.
Liu Bei asked everyone to nominate talents, and several people were quite embarrassed, Zou Dan arched his hand and said: "Lord, although there are many celebrities in Youzhou, but the lord also invited him at the beginning, but most of them refused to come to meet him." ”
"Brother Bo Jue was not enough to restrain the soldiers, and the sincerity was not enough, so those famous soldiers refused to come, and now I restrain the soldiers, if I go to invite them in person, I will be able to invite talents if I frequently take care of each other! Tell me about those celebrities in my Youzhou! Liu Bei asked with a smile.
Several people were silent for a while, speechless, but why, under the rule of Youbeiping, there were perennial wars, and most of the celebrities left, and there were really no celebrities under Liu Bei.
"Guorang, you have gone out to study in the past year, and you will definitely make friends with many famous and talented people, so you will talk about it for me, and you will definitely invite it in person!" Liu Bei looked at a young man behind him and said.
Tian Yu word country let, Liu Bei attached to Gongsun Zhan, the young Tian Yu defected to Liu Bei, more than a year, Tian Yu traveled around to study, until Gongsun Chan died, Liu Bei became the lord of Beiping, Tian Yu did not come back.
Tian Yu in history has extraordinary ability, except for Liu Bei's fellow countryman Jian Yong, it can be said that he is the first strategist to defect to Liu Bei. It's a pity that Liu Bei later became the assassin of Yuzhou, Tian Yu couldn't accompany him because he wanted to support his mother, Liu Bei cried and said: "I just hate that I can't build a great cause with you!" ”
After Liu Bei left, Tian Yu was attached to Gongsun Zhan, and then to Cao Cao, and under Cao Cao, Tian Yu's talent was finally brought into play.
Tian Yu has been studying for a year, and he must know many talents, so Liu Bei asked Tian Yu to introduce a few.
Tian Yu arched his hand and said: "Lord, there are not many celebrities here in Beiping, but in Liaodong, there are a few talents, such as Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and others!" ”
"These people are all from Qingzhou, and they live overseas because of the yellow scarves to avoid trouble. It can be described as a hermit, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du invited several times, but they were unmoved, not to mention that they were in Liaodong, how could they be used by the lord? Tian Kai arched his hand.
Liu Bei said disapprovingly: "It's man-made, if you don't try it, how do you know?" After this battle, I'll go and invite it myself! Guorang, but there are other celebrities? ”
"There is another person, named Yan Rou, who was kidnapped by Karasuma Xianbei as a teenager, but he has their close trust, and with his ability, he is quite influential among Karasuma Xianbei. But if it is not my race, its heart will be different, although Yan Rou is close to the foreign race on the surface, but he also hates the foreign race, the lord can recruit Yan Rou! ”
"Now that the Wanyan Jurchen tribe in the north has risen, attacking various tribes, within a few years, they will definitely go south, and Karasuma will bear the brunt of it. When the time comes, the Jurchen clan will be the great enemy of the lord! The lord can befriend Yan Rou first, and use Yan Rou to befriend Karasuma, so that the alien soldiers and horses can be used by me! ”
Shan Jing listened to it and retorted: "Nonsense, how can you cooperate with other races, this is to seek the skin of a tiger!" ”
Tian Yu explained: "It's not cooperation, it's utilization, and between different races, it's not monolithic, and it won't be unified, but the Jurchen tribe, in the northeast, is already a monopoly." The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my lord can use Karasuma for my use, instead of cooperating! ”
"This plan is very good, the northern alien race, can never be unified, since the Jurchen tribe has risen, I will fund Karasuma to fight against it, let him kill each other. In this way, not only can I use the power of the alien race, but I can also stabilize the comfort of my rear. It's really a win! After Liu Bei heard this, he nodded again and again.
"The lord is smart, and he can understand it at one point!" Tian Yu exclaimed.
"My fellow villager Jian Yong is the best at lobbying, I have asked Jian Yong to defect to me a few days ago, so I asked him to befriend Yan Rou!" Liu Bei pondered.
After the matter was handled, not only the military discipline was stipulated, but also the talents were excavated, and when the war was over, he personally went to invite, Liu Bei said: "Wait and rest, go to the border tomorrow to meet the enemy, Beiping things, tired of the long history!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Guan Jing and the other four retreated, and Liu Wei also wanted to go to the back of the palace to deal with things, but saw Gongsun Sheng standing on the side, thinking about something.
"What does the virtuous nephew have in mind?" Looking at Gongsun Sheng in a daze, Liu Bei asked.
"Uncle is really eager to hire talents, and is he willing to invite talents in person?" Gongsun Sheng came back to his senses and asked.
"Naturally willing, now my second brother and third brother in Beiping are brave and martial, and Zou Dan and others are mostly martial artists, only the wise, no one makes suggestions, if there are talents to vote, can benefit the people, I am willing to give up the position of Taishou, and I am willing!" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Tian Yu behind Liu Bei and said: "I listened to what the country said before, Liaodong Bingyuan, Guan Ning, and Yan Rou and others are all virtuous?" ”
Tian Yu replied: "Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others, the wisdom is far away, and everyone in Liaodong knows it, and no one knows it!" And Yan Rou, although he is in a foreign race, can gain the trust of Karasuma and Xianbei, isn't that enough to show their ability? ”
"Haha, most of these people are famous, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan are just old pedants, teaching and educating people are okay, if they say advice, they may not be strong, and Yan Rou is just an opportunistic person, these people are not virtuous!" Gongsun Sheng laughed.
Tian Yu was slightly angry, but he didn't attack, and asked rhetorically: "You say that, do you know a real talent?" In that case, please recommend it to the lord! ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he also quickly came to his senses and said, "Does my nephew really know the real talent?" Please introduce me! ”
Gongsun Sheng nodded and said, "I do know one, but he is a mountain village man, and he doesn't have much reputation, and the people who know him are just some farmers." And this person is a reclusive master, and he may not be able to go out of the mountain, is my uncle still willing to invite him? ”
"Yamano Villager?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "If there is really a great talent, don't say that people in the mountains and wilderness are homeless beggars, and I am willing to treat each other with courtesy!" It's just that I don't know what skills the person has and who his surname is! ”
Gongsun Sheng explained: "This person's surname is Li Mingyu, the word Changyuan, is a person from Jingzhao, but he also loves Taoism, and now he is hidden in the endless mountain and forest Taoist temple in Youbeiping!" As for this talent, I can't say clearly, but he has the talent of Kanbi Zhang Liang and Chen Ping! ”
"Li Mi? Now living in the endless? Liu Bei muttered: "If he really has the talent of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, where my army is about to go on the expedition, I will ask for it in person!" ”
"But uncle, Li Mi is as lazy as me, I'm afraid I won't go out of the mountain easily, uncle must be prepared!"
"Such a virtuous person, no matter what, I will ask him for him!" Liu Bei nodded, his eyes full of determination.
After the internal affairs were completed, Liu Bei went out with an army of 30,000, leaving Guan Jing to watch the house, Tian Kai escorted the grain and grass, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others went out with the army, and Gongsun Sheng and Tian Yu accompanied him.
