Liu Bei's gift is still hand-woven bast shoes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Mang gladly accepted, sighed, and praised the meticulous workmanship. Liu Bei's face was pale, and he seemed to be very proud of his craft.

"But weaving with Shouchun linen?"

"Yes, yes. Shouchun has nothing but sackcloth. ”

Liu Mang smiled meaningfully: "Yuan Wei wantonly looted the people's fat and people's ointment, how could there be only sackcloth?" ”

Liu Bei knew what Liu Mang was referring to, and hurriedly asked to take a step to speak.

Avoiding everyone, Liu Bei showed a bitter face: "Taiwei, rumors are spreading in the outside world, saying that Bei has secretly hidden the jade seal of the country, and Bei ...... Wronged......"

"Hehe, if you say that you are wronged, you are even more wronged than Xuande Gong."

"But, but, but it's really wronged......"

Liu Bei just kept shouting injustice, neither justifying himself nor pushing it on others. just insisted that he didn't know anything about the jade seal of the country. is full of grievances, sincerity and pity, anyone who sees it will feel that he has really been wronged.

Liu Bei's acting skills are too superb, and if he chats for a while, I'm afraid that Liu Mang will believe him.

A few words of comfort, saying that he would never listen to rumors, so that Liu Bei would not care about groundlessness.

Of course, Liu Mang didn't forget to knock on Liu Bei's side, let me believe in you and speak for you, don't be bad in secret, and detain the basin that hides the jade seal on my head......

……

Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both important allies, and Liu Mang warmly received Liu Bei with the same high standard.

Liu Mang is sincere, and Liu Bei is a master of sensationalism, although there is no relationship between children and relatives, but the atmosphere at the meeting is no less than receiving Cao Cao.

The people were warm and the wine was mellow, and the feast also lasted until the evening.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei had a lot of duty, he didn't ask for anything, nor did he want to buy good pig iron, but just asked to send an embassy to visit and inspect the Luoyang area.

Liu Mang readily agreed, and instructed Li Yan on the spot to be responsible for the relevant reception matters.

……

What kind of lord there is, what kind of subordinates there are.

Xuzhou is a civil and military, except for Wang Dun, who is a little cold and arrogant, and most of the rest of the people are like Liu Bei, who is humble and responsible.

The people of Xuzhou and others gave Liu Mang an excellent impression, and Liu Mang toasted one by one, giving enough face.

Liu Mang is most interested in Zhao Zilong and Lu Wenlong.

Erlong is responsible for guarding and can't drink, and Liu Mang is not reluctant, and the two of them are allowed to replace wine with water.

Lu Wenlong escorted the tribute, showed his ability, and after he returned, he was promoted and reused as Liu Bei's personal commander. Finally, there are conditions to create a double gun that can be used in hand.

Lu Wenlong is young and heroic, and Liu Mang loves it very much. Seeing that he was holding two guns, he was even more interested.

"The gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, and it is extremely difficult to practice a single gun, and this two-gun method must be even more difficult." Liu Mang turned his head and asked his guard Yang Zongbao: "In my Luoyang army, can there be a general with two guns?" ”

"None."

Liu Mang said with emotion: "If there are other generals with two guns, if they are called to practice with Wenlong's four guns, it will definitely look good!" It's a pity that there are only one general Wenlong in the world! ”

Yang Zongbao had already been instructed by Liu Mang, and continued: "Except for General Wenlong, it seems that only Dong Ping, the general of Jizhou, is good at using double guns. ”

Lu Wenlong exclaimed: "Jizhou Dong Ping? The person who hijacked the tribute before was a pair of spearmen, could it be him?! ”

"Wenlong, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei snapped.

Liu Mang's goal had been achieved, and he smiled secretly......

……

Liu Bei and Sun Ce wanted to throw the pot of the hidden jade seal to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang also wanted to blame him.

To harm others, we must benefit ourselves.

Only by blaming Yuan Shao and sowing discord between Yuan Shao and the princes of the Central Plains can the pressure on the east be relieved and favorable conditions can be created for solving Yang Guang's Western Liang Army group.

Yuan Shao has always tried to win over the princes of the Central Plains, and his relationship with Cao Cao is bad, and Liu Bei has become the main target of Yuan Shao's wooing.

The diplomatic strategy planned by Wang Dao for Liu Bei was to "liaise with Liu Mang and defend internally", and to Yuan Shao, he was "alliance but not alliance".

Because of Liu Mang, Liu Bei did not dare to form a direct alliance with Yuan Shao. However, for the sake of the overall strategic situation, Liu Bei has always maintained a close relationship with Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei's governance was surrounded by Liu Mang, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce. And what Liu Bei is most worried about is Cao Cao, who is enmity because of Xuzhou.

Befriending Yuan Shao and containing Cao Cao, Liu Bei can develop with peace of mind.

And what Liu Mang has to do is to try to prevent Liu Bei from forming an alliance with Yuan Shao.

Although the matter of the jade seal will not completely destroy their relationship, it can at least create some trouble.

……

Leaving Liu Mang's station, Liu Bei's face was solemn.

is also a powerful hero, Liu Mang can figure out the truth, Liu Bei naturally understands.

Wang Dun said: "Lord, what Liu Jiangtian did today has ulterior motives. Its intention is to isolate Yuan Benchu and benefit himself. ”

Liu Bei nodded. "That's not all I'm worried about."

"The lord is worried that he will be held hostage by Liu Jiangtian, which will make Yuan Benchu angry and make me angry?"

"yes......"

If you cater to Liu Mang, you will offend Yuan Shao. To defend Yuan Shao, he has to offend Liu Mang. Liu Bei was in a dilemma.

"If the lord has a hard time making a choice, it is better to disturb the hearing and think that it is a way to protect himself."

What Wang Dun said is exactly the usual trick of political games.

What politics pursues is nothing more than to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Politics is wonderful.

When there are interests in front of them, every political group wants more. As a result, the spoils are unevenly distributed, leading to conflict.

On the contrary, when there is great harm, it is easy for people to reach a compromise in order to protect themselves.

Wang Dun's strategy of disrupting the audio-visual is based on this.

The princes frequently visited each other diplomatically, contacted each other, and exchanged information, which was most conducive to the dissemination of information.

It didn't take two days for the rumors about the jade seal to give birth to more versions and more tricks.

Almost every prince of the Central Plains was suspected of hiding jade seals.

Needless to say, Liu Mang and Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, and even Cao Cao were not spared.

Yuan Shao sent someone to contact the Yingchuan thieves and looted the tribute of the imperial court.

The news that the Shouchun officials fled to Jiangdong with the jade seal also came out.

There are even rumors that Cao Cao took the opportunity to steal the jade seal when he sent troops to protect the imperial tribute convoy......

The rumors are getting more and more chaotic, and every prince of the Central Plains is suspicious, and no one can figure it out.

The more versions there are, the less credible each version becomes. In this way, everyone's suspicion has become smaller.

The matter of the jade seal has finally changed from a focus issue to a topic of conversation and joke for ordinary people after dinner.

This is a compromise.

The princes of the Central Plains hope that the matter of the jade seal will be stopped.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and some people want to see the excitement.

Liu Yuyuan is in Yizhou, and the princes of the Central Plains are fighting endlessly, which is what he is happy to see.

The more chaotic the Central Plains, the more beneficial it is to Yizhou.

Yizhou didn't drive Zhang Su, on behalf of Liu Yu, and rushed to Songshan. Liu Yu had already instructed him to look for all possible opportunities to sow discord among the princes of the Central Plains.

The matter of the jade seal is the best reason to stir up right and wrong.
