Pingyuan County is the seat of governance of the Pingyuan State, and today's Pingyuan is Liu Bei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the failure of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zan killed Jizhou and sent Tian Kai to Qingzhou, and Liu Bei also followed. Because Liu Bei dared to fight and made many military exploits, he was first appointed by Tian Kai as the commander of Pingyuan County, and then appointed by Tian Kai as the minister of Pingyuan.

Today's Liu Bei can be regarded as a hero.

Xiangguo Mansion, study.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong sat opposite each other.

Liu Bei's face is excellent, warm as jade, benevolent and generous, a gentleman, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.

His tone was soft, and he said slowly: "Tian Kai led the army to attack King Jing and failed, and the army was almost completely annihilated. First Tian Zhao's 10,000 elites, then Tian Kai's 30,000 elites, and thousands of elite horses. In the first battle of the Beihai Kingdom alone, more than 40,000 elites were buried. The losses in this battle were extremely unfavorable to the situation in Qingzhou. ”

Regarding the attack on Beihai Kingdom, Liu Bei did not approve.

On the one hand, if Tian Kai wants to contain Yuan Shao, he has to face Cao Cao, and it is not appropriate to set up enemies; On the other hand, Liu Xuan is the emperor's uncle who has been recognized by the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, get the approval of the royal family, and also want Liu Xuan to help him speak in the future.

Guan Yu stroked the beautiful hair on his chin, his red face had a touch of arrogance, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Big brother, Liu Xuan is a yellow-mouthed child, but he is respected by the Son of Heaven as the emperor's uncle, which is really excessive." Such an identity should fall on the eldest brother. Moreover, if the eldest brother led the army in this battle, he would definitely defeat Liu Xuan's army. ”

Liu Bei scolded: "The second brother must not be rude to King Jing, he is also the same clan as Liu." ”

Guan Yu snorted and said no more.

Jian Yong took over and said, "I heard that Tian Kai returned to Pingyuan County and prepared two thousand war horses for Liu Xuan, and wanted to repair relations with Liu Xuan. ”

Brush!

Guan Yu's face changed greatly, he suddenly clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Hateful! ”

In a word, the murderous spirit is compelling.

Liu Bei had a puzzled look in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with the second brother?" ”

Guan Yu was very unhappy, his red face was like blood, and he snorted: "Two thousand war horses, so many war horses for us, enough to equip an elite cavalry." The younger brother once went to see Tian Kai and asked him to support three hundred war horses, but he said no, for fear that the eldest brother's power would increase. Now that he has been defeated, he took out 2,000 war horses to Liu Xuan, what a reluctance! ”

The meaning of ridicule is fully revealed.

For Tian Kai, Guan Yu can't look down on it, but he is helpless.

Liu Bei sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "It's all something that can't be helped, let's send people under the fence, and we have to rely on Gongsun Zhan." Tian Kai is Gongsun Zhan's general, we can only listen to Tian Kai's words. ”

Zhang Fei was furious, smashed his fist on his thigh, and shouted, "Big brother, just stand on your own." When Cao Cao was in Dongjun, he was recommended by Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Dongjun, and now he is the assassin of Yanzhou. The eldest brother is more powerful than Cao Cao, and he can also stand on his own. ”

Jian Yong said: "No! ”

Zhang Fei asked, "Xianhe, why not?" ”

Liu Bei's gaze also fell on Jian Yong.

For Zhang Fei's proposal, Liu Bei had a little heartbeat. Tian Kai is incompetent, he dares to be angry but does not dare to speak, and he also has ambitions to control Qingzhou. In particular, Yuan Shao's power is getting stronger and stronger, and Gongsun Zhan has gradually declined since the defeat of Jieqiao, and in this case, Liu Bei also has the ambition to stand on his own feet in the Plains Country.

In today's Qingzhou, the yellow turban thieves are rampant, and Tian Kai's role as the assassin of Qingzhou is also in name only, and he failed to control Qingzhou. If Liu Bei is self-reliant, he can also unite Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, which is theoretically feasible.

A trace of ambition gave Liu Bei a glimmer of hope.

Jian Yong, as Liu Bei's mastermind, analyzed: "The lord wants to be self-reliant, but he lacks Cao Cao's conditions. ”

Liu Bei asked, "What conditions?" ”

Jian Yong replied: "First, Cao Cao is a native of Yanzhou, and the Cao family behind Cao Cao has enough power and prestige in Yanzhou; second, Cao Cao successively served as the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, the lieutenant of the council, the captain of the cavalry, the captain of the military academy, etc., and had enough contacts and fame; Third, Cao Cao had the support of the Yanzhou family, and the money and food were sufficient. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, his brows furrowed.

Jian Yong continued: "On the other hand, the lord is not from Qingzhou, his prestige is insufficient, and he is not supported by a family of merchants. If the lord wants to be self-reliant, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand on his own. Not to mention much, the grain is under the control of Tian Kai, do we have food? ”

Brush!

Liu Bei's face turned pale.

Jian Yong said again: "In the next suggestion, at present, we can only forbear, only when Tian Kai is defeated again and again, and cannot preside over the situation, can the lord take the opportunity to take the position, and let Gongsun Zan arrange for the lord to preside over Qingzhou, so that the lord can have a chance to stand on his own." The lord can't even grasp the plain country, let alone Qingzhou? ”

Liu Bei sighed lightly: "In a word, my own strength is not enough." ”

The expressions on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces were quite aggrieved. The two have followed Liu Bei for nearly ten years, but they have not been able to make contributions so far, and they are still under the fence, and they are also quite unhappy in their hearts.

Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and said, "That's it, forbear for the time being." "He is used to forbearance and has enough perseverance, such a thing is not difficult for Liu Bei.

Jian Yong said: "There is another incident recently, Tian Kai gave Ning Yu to Liu Xuan. ”

"What?"

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and the murderous aura in his eyes flashed.

Ning Yu was cultivated by Tian Kai, but he was not raised in Tian Kai's mansion, but stayed in the Yun-Yulou in Pingyuan County, and was the leader of the family. Guan Yu usually likes to go to the Yun-Yu Building, and admires Ning Yu a lot.

Guan Yu said coldly: "Tian Kai failed in the war, but he wants to let the woman go, it's a shame!" ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and said, "Second brother, my brother knows that you admire Ning Yu." But some people can be contaminated, some people can't. Ning Yu is Tian Kai's person, you have to distinguish the severity. ”

Guan Yu said: "Big brother, brother is just that everyone is not worth it, and he has no other ideas." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible for the second brother to like Ning Yu. We have to endure now, and when we have enough strength and connections, after taking Qingzhou, let Liu Xuan hand her over. ”

For women, Liu Bei has always looked at them very lightly.

For him, women are just rolling the sheets and having children.

Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's words, and was grateful to Liu Bei in his heart: "Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother understands the importance." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now is not the time to turn his face with Tian Kai, if Guan Yu impulsively asks Tian Kai to make trouble, it is likely to make the situation embarrassing.

……

Cloud-rain building, backyard.

The melodious sound of the piano came from the backyard.

Inside the courtyard, in the gazebo.

A young woman sat upright and stroked the qin, and this woman was Ning Yu. She is nearly 20 years old, with a graceful figure, autumn waves in her eyes, red lips and white teeth, bulging and round chest, slender figure, enchanting face, hooking people, and is a special thing.

There was a hint of coldness on her charming face, because she was given away by Tian Kai as a cargo.

"Step! Trample! ”

A sound of footsteps came from outside, and the maid walked in and said, "Girl, Lord Zhao Cheng is here." ”

Ning Yu said: "I don't see! ”

"This ......"

Between the maid's brows, there was a touch of worry.

"Jade girl, why do you have to see the outside like this? I came here on the orders of my lord. Rejecting people thousands of miles away is not the hospitality of the host's family. ”

Zhao Cheng's voice came in from outside.
