Chapter 512: Cry or Laugh
"Lord Qi, the Wu family has set off! It was loaded with more than fifty carts, and not only that, the Wu family had secretly transferred some of them before. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmmm! Go and inform my guard battalion, and go out at night tonight! Liu Bei closed the document he was working on and said solemnly.
"No!" The spies who came to report the news promised and were about to turn around and go out to prepare.
"Wait!" Suddenly, I stopped him again. "Lord!"
"Remember! Don't be in a hurry, wait until the Wu family enters Peijun before acting! ”
"Yes!"
Liu Bei nodded, and Liu Bei said viciously: "Be careful, don't let go of any live mouth!" ”
"Obey~ orders!"
Liu Bei glanced at the soldier with relief, returned to normalcy again, and quietly continued to read the previous official document.
The personal guard battalion, which was formed after Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, imitated Cao De's personal guard battalion.
Most of the soldiers in this personal guard battalion were personally selected by Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei is still very relieved of his loyalty. And it is this pro-guard battalion that is also for Liu Bei to deal with all the unsightly things.
Cao De's personal guard battalion is mainly responsible for taking care of the generals on the battlefield or on weekdays. And Liu Bei's personal guard battalion is only responsible for Liu Bei, and they are also the forces that belong to Liu Bei in the dark.
Three days later, Wu Taishou and his entourage, who moved to Pei County with his family, had already walked out of the boundary of Donghai County.
"Family master, there is something that my subordinates have always felt strange!" Outside a carriage, there was a big "Liu" flag and a slightly smaller "Wu" flag! In the carriage, a person who should be a staff member was facing Wu Taishou, who was the head of the Wu family, and was talking suspiciously.
"Oh? What's wrong? The head of the Wu family drank a cup of tea slowly and said unhurriedly.
For the head of the Wu family, since his grandfather's generation, he has been a nobleman in Donghai County, and in his generation, he can finally become an important role in officialdom. And according to his arrangement, I'm afraid it is not just a fantasy to become a celebrity next to Uncle Liu Huang in one fell swoop.
"You must know that Peijun is an important place for Uncle Liu Huang. Why didn't Uncle Liu Huang hand over this important task to his most trusted second and third generals, but the head of the family? Uncle Liu Huang has always been very cautious, why did he let the head of the family move to Pei County now? This staff member said the word "Ju clan" in a particularly accentuated tone. I hope to get the attention of the head of the house.
But the head of the Wu family smiled and repeated the explanation that Liu Bei gave him that day.
"The head of the family, my subordinates think that this matter is not so simple! If others don't know, don't the head of the house know? Uncle Liu Huang is full of benevolence and morality on the surface, but what he does behind the scenes is ......"
"Huh? Say no more! Although Uncle Liu Huang is a little ruthless, he is also a righteous gentleman. Moreover, he is the emperor's uncle today. In the past, Uncle Huang was also forced to do so. Now Xuzhou has been decided, and Uncle Huang has Qingzhou and Pei County. Uncle Liu Huang is no longer the Uncle Liu Huang who came to Xuzhou at the beginning of the year! The head of the Wu family continued to defend Liu Bei.
"Head of the house, as is customary. There are not many officials who take their families with them, let alone move like the head of the family! The focus of the staff has always been on the "relocation of the family".
"According to the usual practice, when an official takes office, he or she stays with his family and is a hostage. The lord asked my family to relocate, which shows the lord's trust in me. Thou hast been overwhelmed! ”
"No!" The staff who wanted to stop talking saw that their family was angry, and finally closed their mouths.
Yanhuang culture is broad and profound. In a word, how to understand it depends on personal thoughts!
And in the eyes of the current head of the Wu family. Liu Bei had just obtained Pei County, and Pei County, which was in ruins, not only needed a very stable period to develop its economy, but also became the first line of defense against Cao De and Cao Cao during this time.
So, since such an important place is handed over to yourself. First of all, this is trust, and the one who is a confidant dies. The current head of the Wu family once felt a trace of regret for his father behind Liu Bei's back.
Secondly, this is also an important point. This is development. Peijun is now in ruins, but he not only dragged his family to bring his family's property to Peijun.
In this way, as long as he uses his power, I am afraid that the entire Peijun will not be too far away from becoming his own.
And it is precisely because of this that the head of the Wu family is so excited to forget about some details.
And just when the head of the Wu family was full of longing for the future, a team of people was quietly following not far from the convoy.
They were not very numerous, less than five hundred. Judging from the traces of their march, there were only twenty or thirty people.
And just when the head of the Wu family and Liu Bei's personal guard battalion rushed to Pei County in the south and north, a piece of news that shocked the Han Dynasty floated to the county seat of Donghai County.
"My lord! Lord! The subordinates have just reported that Cao De is going to take action again! ”
Jian Yong, who had just been praised by Liu Bei a few days ago, quickly ran into Liu Bei's study.
"What? Cao De? Liu Bei's heart trembled, his plan had just been launched, in case Cao De wanted to make any moves, wouldn't everything he had arranged before be in vain.
"The spies have just found out, and the king of Hanzhong has presented a recital to the Son of Heaven. Cao De is going to the Western Regions! ”
"Western Regions!" Liu Bei repeated, and then quickly filtered the entire Han in his mind, 'Western Regions? Where did this place come from? How is it so familiar? ’
After taking a breath, Liu Bei suddenly remembered.
It's there! What is Cao De going there for?
From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, almost all the major wars have been fought around the Central Plains. And in the eyes of the princes, the Central Plains region is also the most important.
Therefore, Cao De suddenly ran to the west, and Liu Bei was still a little uncomfortable!
"Yes, Western Regions. The spies said that Cao De might want to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate! Jian Yong gasped as he spoke.
'What a handful!' This was Liu Bei's first reaction.
"The Protectorate of the Western Regions?" Liu Bei didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Since ancient times, the hegemons of the Chinese land have all believed that they must first settle down at home when they are outside. But now that the entire Central Plains is still divided, Cao De is about to send troops to attack the Western Regions.
In case Cao De had any losses in the Western Regions and missed the fighters in the Central Plains, wouldn't it become a hatred for eternity.
Liu Bei thought of this, and suddenly smiled slightly, what a chance!
Cao De's Han China had just been established, and I heard that he also implemented the Six Cao system. Everything is basically starting from scratch, just the affairs of Han China are enough to keep Cao Demang busy for a while, but Cao De still has to meddle in the Western Regions. I really don't know what it's like to be a tired dog.
Historically, although the Western Regions is not a large place, the relationships are intricate. Cao De's blind march into the Western Regions is likely to take several years.
But in this way, wouldn't Liu Bei have more time. So, Liu Bei wanted to laugh. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
However, if Cao De defeated the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and the banner of the Western Regions Protectorate fluttered in the Western Regions again, wouldn't Cao De's prestige be even higher.
In this way, wouldn't he be even more at a disadvantage.
Alas! Is it a good thing or a bad thing!
