Chapter 57: Sitting on Heroes
"I thought that there were three heroes in the world, one was Cao Cao, the second was Sun Ce, and the third was Liu Yuanjun. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," Liu Yong replied.
"Cao Cao is a hero, and Bei also feels the same way. Although Sun Ce was young, he only relied on the 3,000 soldiers and horses he borrowed from Yuan Shu to create a large foundation in Jiangdong, which no one could match, and he was indeed a hero, and he deserved to be called a hero. And Chongru called Liu Bei a hero, but I only have Xiaopei, a weak place, and there are no available soldiers, how can He De dare to be called a hero, I am afraid that Gongzi is too respectful. β
Liu Bei left the impression that most people would only run except crying, but in fact, these are all illusions. Since Liu Bei started his army, he has no territory of his own, no army of his own, although he lives in the cracks of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and other forces, but he is left and right, he is courteous everywhere, and treats the guests, and even Cao Cao thinks that only he and Liu Bei can be called heroes, which shows that this person is indeed outstanding.
"Why should Liu Yuanjun be humble, Liu Yong thinks that Liu Yuzhou is a hero for four reasons." Liu Yong raised his fingers one by one and said with a smile, "First, Liu Yuanjun is the head of the imperial family, and his faith and righteousness are written in the four seas, and his ambitions are high; second, treat people generously, be polite and virtuous, and know how to make good use of people; third, to worry about the suffering of the people in the world, and to be admired by all people; Fourth, although Liu Zhijun has suffered repeated setbacks, he is still tenacious and persevering. With these four points, Liu Yuzhou should be a hero. β
Sun Gan, Mi Zhu and others nodded yes, Liu Bei was happy and worried in his heart, happy because what Liu Yong said was right in his heart, worried about his lack of soldiers and land, when will he come out.
"Thank you Chongru for your love." Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "It's just that Liu Bei sent people under the fence, and I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference." β
Liu Yong persuaded: "Liu Yuanjun doesn't need to worry, as the old saying goes: Jin Lin is originally a pool or a thing, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm." Liu Yong dared to assert that Liu Yuzhou would achieve great things in the future and leave a legacy in history. β
"Liu Bei borrowed the son's auspicious words." Liu Bei saw that Liu Yong admired himself so much, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and asked, "There are so many more powerful people in the world than Liu Bei, can't they be called heroes?" Chongru must know the heroes of the world, please comment on Liu Bei. β
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, and now he was about to "cook wine on heroes", so he smiled and said: "Please also ask Liu Yuanjun to ask questions." β
Liu Bei said: "I think Huainan Yuan Shu sits in Shouchun, and he has a wide range of soldiers, so he can be called a hero." β
Liu Yong shook his head and said: "Envoy, that Yuan Shu is brave and unbreaking, arrogant and arrogant, I don't expect that in a year, he will be defeated and die." β
Liu Bei nodded, this Yuan Shu is arrogant, plotting rebellion and usurpation, betraying relatives, and has just been defeated by our three-way army, defeat is a matter of time, you can guess that it is not much ability, I will change someone, see how you answer?
"Yuan Shao of Hebei, the third prince of the fourth world, many old officials, now sitting on the land of Hebei, and, Qing three states, Wen has Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other ministers, Wu has Yan Liang, Zhang He and other tiger generals, under the account of millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, excellent soldiers, even Cao Cheng is difficult to compete with, Chongru does not recognize him as a hero?"
Liu Yong smiled slightly and said: "That Yuan Shao is very timid, scheming and indecisive, doing big things and sparing his life, and forgetting his life when he sees small profits." Although there are many good ministers under the account, most of them are fighting for power and profit, and there is no one in their eyes; Although there are many fierce generals, most of them are brave and strategic, and they are embarrassed and useful. Yuan Shao has neither the capacity for people, nor the skills of using people, nor can he be called a hero. Liu Yong thought that Yuan Shao would be defeated by Cao Cao sooner or later. β
Liu Bei nodded secretly, and asked everyone present: "If there are any other people who are respected by the princes, you can also ask." β
Mi Zhu said: "Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou. Mi Fang continued: "Liu Jiyu of Yizhou." β
Liu Bei bowed his head and said: "These two people are among the eight handsome, Weizhen Kyushu, can they be called heroes?" β
"Liu Yuanjun." Liu Yong replied, "Liu Biao and Liu Zhanggui are relatives of the Han family, and they are promoted to peace under the rule, and the people are rich and the country is rich, and they have their own merits. However, these two people are cowardly and suspicious, lack of planning and lack of decision, and the governance of the county is acceptable in peacetime, but in the event of a war, they are at a loss, panicked, and they are both people who defend the land, not talented in fighting chaos, and they cannot be called heroes. β
Sun Qian thought for a while and asked, "Chongru, like Wancheng Zhang Xiu, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Xiliang Han Sui, how are these people?" β
Liu Yong smiled: "These people are mediocre, let alone insignificant. β
Everyone still had to mention it again, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop, and said with a smile: "Chongru has been tired all the way, it's better to rest early, let's ask Liu Gongzi for advice later." He said to Liu Yong again: "My opinion is that Chongru still leads the military horses of the headquarters and is compiled into the cloud chief's account, what does the son think?" β
Liu Yong was willing, he had just started the management of the army, and this Guan Yu was both a navy and an army, so he could ask for advice at any time, so he thanked him.
"What else does Chongru want?"
"I just want to ask Liu Yuzhou to equip us with some good blades and armor."
"It's easy." Liu Bei turned to Mi Zhu and said, "Zizhong, I'll leave this matter to you, don't do it." β
Mi Zhu arched his hand and smiled: "Oh! He said to Liu Yong again: "At two o'clock tomorrow, Chongru will come to the front of the munitions depot, and Mi Zhu will wait there." β
Liu Yong thanked him and said, "Thank you, Brother Mi." β
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chongru is unique in governing the army. After the army settles down a little, how about we go and see it together? β
Mi Zhu Zizhong, a native of Qu County, Donghai, a wealthy merchant in the late Han Dynasty, was later engaged in by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian at that time. Mizhu's ancestors have been engaged in reclamation for generations, raising nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and have hundreds of millions of assets. In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Tao Qian died of illness, and Mi Zhu was ordered by Tao Qian to welcome Liu Bei in Xiaopei to enter Xuzhou. Soon, LΓΌ Bu was defeated and left Yanzhou and came to take refuge, and Liu Bei placed him in Xiaopei, and Xuzhou became a horn.
In the first year of Jian'an (196 AD), Liu Bei was ordered to conquer Yuan Shu, and LΓΌ Bu took the opportunity to attack Xiapi and capture Liu Bei's wife. Liu Bei had no choice but to flee to Haixi County in Guangling County. At this time, Liu Bei was trapped in shallow water and the tiger fell in Pingyang, others avoided it, but Mi Zhu bucked the trend and gave a helping hand, not only sending his sister to Liu Bei as a concubine, but also offering 2,000 subordinates and a large number of gold, silver and silk silks, so that Liu Bei regained his strength.
Liu Bei is still grateful to Mi Zhu, although Mi Zhu is not good at strategy and is not good at commanding the army, but Liu Bei has always treated him as a guest of honor, and he has been rewarded richly in his life, and he is favored and trusted, which is incomparable. After pacifying Yizhou, Liu Bei appointed Mi Zhu as the general of Anhan, above Zhuge Liang.
Mi Zhu's greatest ability is to know people and people. When Liu Bei was in trouble, almost everyone thought that it was a garbage stock, and only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Mi Zhu regarded it as a high-performance stock. Unlike the previous two, Mi Zhu still pressed a full warehouse, asking for money to give money, asking people to give people, not only that, Mi Zhu even bet on the life of the whole family and the happiness of his sister's life, just like Lu Buwei's "strange goods" back then, he made a heavy bet to gamble on this game. It's a pity that Mi Zhu's final ending is still not good. Sister Mrs. Mi committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in Changhan Slope, and her younger brother Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Wu because of the Guan Yu incident.
Who doesn't like a person like Mi Zhu, who is honest and elegant, and has a bold personality? Moreover, the Mi Zhu family has been in business for generations, and there are many things worth learning and learning from in marketing, so Liu Yong is very much looking forward to the meeting with Mi Zhu, and he left for the armory early in the morning, intending to go through the formalities and invite him to have a long talk.
Before walking to the door of the warehouse, there was a servant boy standing here, who was constantly looking around. Liu Yong arched his hand, and before he could say anything, the boy said, "Are you Liu Gongzi?" β
Liu Yong was stunned and said, "Exactly." The boy smiled happily and said again and again: "The son really came early, and my master is waiting, please come with me." β
Liu Yong was inexplicable and puzzled: "Who is the master of your family?" Why meet Liu Yong? β
The boy slapped his head and said apologetically: "The boy is confused, he forgot to tell the childe." The surname of the head of the family is Mi Ming, Zhu Zizhong. β
Liu Yong suddenly said: "I see, please lead the way." β
The boy took Liu Yong around to the side of the armory, a small courtyard only dozens of steps away, and with a few taps on the door, another boy opened the door from the inside and welcomed Liu Yong in.
Liu Yong saw that this courtyard was not large, with three bungalows in front and two wings on each side, which was extremely simple. When I was looking, the door of the middle room opened, and a person about thirty years old with a white face rushed out of the door, smiling all over his face, and said: "Brother Chongru, Mi Zhu welcomes the late, and please forgive me." β
Liu Yong hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, how can Brother Lao Zizhong come to pick it up in person, Liu Yong is ashamed." The two humbly conceded, entered the room together, sat down the guests, and the boy had already offered fragrant tea and fruits, and retreated. Liu Yong saw that the interior furnishings were also very simple, but the windows were bright and clean, which was extremely elegant.
Mi Zhu said with a smile: "My own house is still passable, but it is far away in Xuzhou, which is simple, and you can snub your guests." β
Liu Yong hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother Zizhong is too polite. As the old saying goes, 'The mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous.' The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Jun Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case, what is ugly? Liu Yong slightly changed Liu Yuxi's "Burrow" to praise Mi Zhu's residence.
When Mi Zhu heard this, he was really overjoyed, stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Good text! I don't want to be so outstanding in my writing. β
Liu Yong smiled: "This is someone else's article, I dare not rely on it." β
"Chongru is a sincere gentleman." Mi Zhu praised and said, "Chongru, if it's still early today, why don't we sit down and talk for a while, and then go to get the military supplies?" β
Liu Yong couldn't ask for it, so he nodded and agreed. The two tasted tea for a while, and Mi Zhu said first: "Chongru." You are in Fuyi and benevolent government, and the Yuxian order is obedient to you, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, and the rich side is far from being comparable to Xiaopei, why does Chongru still come to vote for Liu Yuzhou? β
Liu Yong was taken aback and said, "Could it be that Brother Zizhong already knows Liu Yong's name?" β
