Chapter 140: Liu Bei, who makes Liu Biao hate
Chapter 140 Liu Bei, who made Liu Biao hate
To be honest, if Liu Biao hadn't taken care of his reputation, he really didn't want to accept Liu Bei at the beginning.
After all, Liu Bei can be said to be a relative of the Han family in name, and he Liu Biao is a brother of the same clan. If Liu Bei was in trouble, when he came to take refuge in himself, if Liu Biao didn't accept it, what would the world say about him Liu Biao? At the very least, he will say that he Liu Biao has no human touch, and even his brothers of the same clan refuse to give a little convenience, the world is hot and cold, and the human affection is weak. A prince who refuses to accept even his own brothers and sisters will still be a master worthy of the service of others?
Also, Liu Biaoben was born as a scholar and one of the "Eight Jun", and for these celebrities, he paid special attention to his reputation.
Therefore, Liu Biao had to accept Liu Bei.
This should be the main reason why Liu Biao accepted Liu Bei and gave Xinye to Liu Bei's soldiers.
On the other hand, Liu Biao knew in his heart that although he had hundreds of thousands of military horses, he could be regarded as a heroic man in this world, but because his Jingzhou had always been in a safe corner. In addition, he was subject to Liu Yi several times and was soft to Liu Yi, so that the world always felt that he was easy to bully. At that time, Liu Biao, he really wanted to rise up once, and he accepted Liu Bei only when he was worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to invade his Jingzhou. In this way, it was announced that he Liu Biao was not afraid of Cao Cao, and he could use Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao's attack on him. In other words, Liu Bei is in Xinye, which is actually equivalent to Liu Biao's agreement to give Xiangcheng to Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, and the role is the same, he hopes. Between him and the forces of Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao, there was a force that could cushion the conflict for him. In this way, he can feel more at ease psychologically. At least he didn't feel that he was directly threatened by Liu Yi and Cao Cao at all times.
Another is that Liu Biao also clearly knows that the three armies are easy to obtain, but one will be difficult to find. He knew very well that if he had a general who could intimidate the enemy army and defend it within his own forces, it would make the enemy not dare to be too rampant and not dare to send troops to attack him.
He just took a fancy to the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. felt that accepting Liu Bei should be more beneficial than disadvantageous to him.
Of course, Liu Biao's heart is clearer. Accepting Liu Bei also has a certain risk, and doing so has a taste of luring wolves into the room. One is not good. You may be victimized by it.
Because he knows that Liu Bei is definitely not a hero who is willing to be subordinated to others, and if he doesn't grasp it well, he may make him turn against the guest, because, if Liu Bei is allowed to develop in Xinye, with the martial courage of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers, he Liu Biao will be difficult to control Liu Bei.
After accepting Liu Bei. Liu Biao felt more clearly that Liu Bei was indeed not something he could control if he wanted to.
Liu Biao remembers it very clearly. When he accepted Liu Bei, Liu Bei went to Xiangyang to see him. Liu Biao almost couldn't help but kill Liu Bei.
Well, seeing Liu Bei and Liu Bei's table in front of him, Liu Biao felt that this big-eared thief was too annoying. It's so good.
Ya, let's ask which prince in this world is not a bloody guy with two hands? Even if it was the original Beihai Kong Rong, he was an authentic Confucian child, an authentic literati, a scholar, and a famous scholar, but as a prince, people didn't dare to boast about how much they cared about the people's suffering, how compassionate, and how good they were. You know, people are well-known honest and good people, and there are countless good deeds they have done, but they don't see Kong Rongfeng saying that he has done those good people and good deeds?
But Liu Bei, this guy, is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and when he sees everyone, he looks like a good man and an honest person, and treats everyone politely, kindly and kindly. I always like to put on a show that Lao Tzu is the savior, and Lao Tzu is here to save sentient beings.
Liu Biao remembered that Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he personally greeted him, and under his nose, an old man fell down on the street, Liu Bei's guy seemed to have seen gold, his eyes were shining, and he ran over, helped the old man up, and after helping him up, he acted coyly, asked about the people's cold, and seemed to care about the suffering of the old people, and asked the ancestors of the eighteen generations, and finally, regardless of whether the old man really fell, let the military doctor check it and send medicine, He also ordered someone to send the old man home, and also asked someone to send some food and cloth. Anyway, looking at what Liu Bei did, it seems that he is really a good person. Afterwards, he also told others his name, which made people give him a thumbs up, called him Uncle Liu Huang, and was grateful to him.
This incident makes Liu Biao very uncomfortable, under his own rule, under his own nose, he does not shy away from selling people's hearts, what do you Liu Bei want to do? What disgusted Liu Biao even more was that under the eyes of everyone, many onlookers praised Liu Bei's character, so that Liu Biao had to express his appreciation for Liu Bei in public. At that time, Liu Biao's heart really said how depressed he was.
Under his rule, everyone in the people praises him Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang, so what is his master? Do you need Liu Bei to care about the suffering of the people under your rule? If everyone praises you Liu Bei, does it mean that you, the lord of Jingzhou, are very incompetent? Can't even govern the people under his own rule? Put your people in dire straits?
Following down, Liu Bei really seemed to be extremely obedient in front of him, pretending to obey his own orders. However, on his smile that seemed to always be gentle and gentle, he never said a word of obedience to him Liu Biao and serving him Liu Biao as the master.
keeps claiming to be a brother, as if he really has a great relationship with him, is he very familiar with him? Well...... In fact, in this world, there are many so-called Han clan relatives in the sea, and as the lord of Jingzhou, if anyone is like Liu Bei, because of this relationship, he comes to call him a brother and a brother, then he can't take care of it? You must know that you, Liu Bei, came to take refuge in yourself, not to climb relatives with you. Pull homely.
However, Liu Bei really never called himself the master from beginning to end, and it seems that he didn't have the consciousness that he came to take refuge as his subordinate. This one. In Liu Biao's eyes, Liu Bei was pretending to be crazy and stupid, squirting feces all over his mouth, but none of them were sincere. However, Liu Bei, who was the embodiment of benevolence and righteousness, let Liu Biao be in front of his many civil and military generals. However, it was difficult to pull down his face and talk to Liu Bei seriously, saying that he came to take refuge in his own subordination, which caused Liu Biao to have to supply Xinye to Liu Bei to settle down, and he was still under Liu Bei's crying poverty. I had to give him a batch of money, food, and weapons to show his generosity and affection as an elder brother. It seems that he is the "elder brother" of the oops. There is a moral obligation to take care of this so-called clan brother.
It's true. If it weren't for the fact that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been by Liu Bei's side, majestic and overwhelming, otherwise, Liu Biao really couldn't help but immediately order the knife and axe hand to solve Liu Bei.
Among them, Liu Biao actually didn't want to expose Liu Bei's "benevolent and righteous" image, but when Liu Biao said a little, it would damage Liu Bei. Even hinted that Liu Bei was wrong, he saw Zhang Feibao's eyes wide. stared at himself with a murderous face, staring at him Liu Biao's heart was a little hairy, especially Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes, which made Liu Biao feel a piercing murderous aura very clearly, making him break out in a cold sweat. Because of this, Liu Biao could only let Liu Bei show his "benevolent" side, and failed to explain his subordinate relationship with Liu Bei clearly.
However, there is one thing that makes Liu Biao also willing to give Xinye to Liu Bei, as well as Liu Bei's batch of money, food and weapons. Because Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei was by no means a thing in the pool, Liu Bei, who is in trouble now, will definitely cherish his hard-won foothold. Give Xinye to Liu Bei to settle down, Liu Bei will definitely guard the north and south gates of Jingzhou for him, and Liu Bei will resist the pressure from Cao Cao for him without his urging Liu Biao.
Therefore, Liu Biao believes that it doesn't matter whether he can control Liu Bei or not, the important thing is that Liu Bei can resist the pressure from Cao Cao for himself.
Moreover, Liu Biao also grasped Liu Bei's lifeblood to some extent. Didn't he Liu Bei boast of his benevolence and righteousness when he met people? That's good, he treats him with benevolence and righteousness everywhere, so that he has nothing to say, not only that, but Liu Biao also has to publicize it widely, so that all the people of Jingzhou know that Liu Bei is his own brother, and he supports and helps Liu Bei without hesitation, and he will give whatever Liu Bei wants. has always been so good to Liu Bei that Liu Bei himself feels a little embarrassed. In this way, I see how you Liu Bei will seek to seize Jingzhou, a brother who is so good to him.
In fact, even in history, Liu Biao seems to be quite good to Liu Bei, and has always regarded Liu Bei as his younger brother. It may also be for this reason that after Liu Bei died of illness, Liu Bei did not capture Jingzhou. It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to, but Liu Bei is afraid, afraid that once he takes Jingzhou and his brother's foundation, it will damage the image of benevolence and righteousness that he has built up with great difficulty. In general, no matter what the reason, as long as Liu Bei really wins Jingzhou, he will confirm the fact that Liu Bei has been uneasy and kind since he came to Jingzhou, and the fact that he is hypocritical to Liu Biao's brother. After all, even if Liu Biao is gone, but there are still descendants, when will it be your turn to sit in Jingzhou? Therefore, even if he recaptured Jingzhou from Cao Cao after the Battle of Chibi, he could only borrow Jingzhou in the name of Eastern Wu.
Now, Liu Biao knew that under the situation of the New Han Dynasty's army, Cao Cao, as his ally, was unlikely to attack him at the risk of the world's condemnation, and it was impossible for him to attack him together with Liu Yi.
Therefore, Liu Bei in Xinye does not need to deliberately beware of Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao's reminder, Liu Biao felt that it was time to use the martial arts of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers to fight against Liu Yi for himself, and even attack Liu Yi.
For the situation, Liu Biao also saw it more clearly at the moment, he knew that now he and Liu Yi and Cao Cao's military horses were holding each other, and under the situation that Cao Cao hinted at himself and hoped that he would take the initiative to attack, if he did not take the initiative to attack the New Han Dynasty, then Cao Cao would probably not move. Only when Cao Cao saw that there was a chance to defeat Liu Yi could Cao Cao really attack Liu Yi.
Therefore, Liu Biao felt that it was indeed necessary for him to take the initiative to attack Wancheng with his army, and to take the initiative instead of passive. As long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two generals of the three armies, can fight for themselves, Liu Biao will have the courage to take the initiative to attack Liu Yi.
Liu Biao already had a plan in his heart, and summoned Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Huang Zu, Wen Ping, Wang Wei, Han Xuan and other military generals and ministers. Discuss the matter of actively attacking Lewis together.
Among them, such as Han Xuan, Han Hao, Han Song and other generals. It was a military general who fled back to Xiangyang after Huang Zhong's father and son and Gan Shou led the army to capture Changsha and other cities in Jingzhou Nanjun.
In fact, they saw the opportunity early, or rather, they had been a little trembling in the cities of Changsha, because they were under the sailors of the New Han Army. It's no wonder they can feel at ease. Therefore, when the New Han army sent troops to them, they fled back with their own army horses. In this way, it is equivalent to saving a lot of troops for Liu Biao.
Now, these Jingzhou's advisors and generals, even if they are strategists like the Kuai family. Their family interests are deeply related to Lewy. Therefore. Liu Biao does not doubt the loyalty of these people around him.
This time, it was indeed the time to face the survival of Jingzhou, so Liu Biao did not hide it, and truthfully informed the ministers and generals of his current situation, and then told them his plans.
Liu Biao in history. There are generals like Huang Zhong and Wei Yan who are not reused, so they stay in Changsha and are almost buried in the world. If Liu Biao is Bole. Early in the morning, generals like Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were transferred from Changsha to Jingzhou to sit in Jingzhou, and at that time, with the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals, how could they not be able to hold Jingzhou, or rather, how could it be difficult to expand with the territory that had been guarding Jingzhou?
It's a pity that there is no if, the current Liu Biao, he is not burying talents, but there is no talent for him to discover. In fact, now Wei Yan is already in his army, but now Wei Yan has not been discovered, he is still only a squad leader, and there are only about a hundred people under him.
In this way, Liu Biaoxiàn is here, and it seems that there is really no one who can stand alone, and there is no soul-level general who can shock the three armies.
In the current situation, Liu Biao asked his subordinate generals who could wave the army to conquer Wancheng, but none of them dared to fight.
Now under Liu Biao's account, in terms of force, I'm afraid it's not the most powerful Wenpin. It's a pity that Wen Ping is too low-key, not active enough in peacetime, and his prestige in the army is even far less than that of Huang Zu and other generals.
But this can't be blamed on Wen Ping, this is mainly because Wen Ping's foundation is thin, he is originally from Wancheng, and he doesn't have much capital in Xiangyang to make him active. What's more, Jingzhou has not had too many wars, and many times, Wenpin has not had the opportunity to go to war, and the main generals in the army are all in the hands of those wealthy families in Jingzhou. Generally, they will not use civilian employment to lead the army.
Sometimes, even if a civilian appointment is employed, the officers and men in the army may not be willing to obey his dispatch.
Now, the military generals under Liu Biao's account, they also understand this, Liu Yi is afraid that this time, I am afraid that he will be serious about them, and this battle is inevitable. On the side of their Jingzhou army alone, they really didn't have the slightest confidence that they could fight with the Xinhan army. But with Cao Cao's help, the situation is different, much more optimistic.
Now, Cao Cao made it clear that he wanted them to fight the New Han army before sending troops to help, and they all thought that they could not retreat. It is a matter of life and death for everyone, if you don't fight the enemy first, and you don't dare to fight the enemy, can you still hope that others will come to help you?
In this way, they all felt that if Liu Bei's two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, could lead their Jingzhou army to attack Liu Yi, it would be much more certain than if they led the army to attack.
Therefore, they completely agreed with Liu Biao's opinion and used Liu Bei's two righteous brothers to lead the army to fight against the New Han army.
However, everyone understands this, and it is very dangerous to hand over the military power of the Jingzhou Army to Liu Bei, because these times, they have all seen that Liu Bei's betrayal of people's hearts is too powerful. Now in Xinye City, the local people only know that there is Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang, and they no longer know that there is also Uncle Liu Biao.
Well, although Liu Biao already has a plan in his heart, he knows how to control Liu Bei well, and let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two generals, use it for themselves. However, these things cannot be brought up by Liu Biao's mouth.
This, if the people below say it, Liu Biao pretended to consider the overall situation, and had to agree, and how to implement it must also be implemented by these people below.
Under the guidance of Liu Biao, the Kuai brothers reacted first.
Kuai Yue understood Liu Biao's meaning, so he first said: "Lord, it is inevitable that we Jingzhou and Liu Yi will fight, but unfortunately, although there are many famous people in Jingzhou, there is no one who can threaten the generals of the three armies. Therefore, I built a lord and reused Liu Bei, and then invited Liu Bei's righteous brothers Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide to lead the army against the New Han Army for us. ”
"Haha, those who know me, Kuai Xenodua also. That's right! Liu Biao laughed and answered: "Generals, it's not that Liu Biao underestimates you, but that Liu Yi is too brave, and even Lu Bu is not his opponent, not to mention that there are many generals under his account, which are quite difficult, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are two generals who are different, they are generals who can compete with Lu Bu, if they command our three armies in Jingzhou, it will boost the morale of my army, and the New Han Army is no longer an army that we can hardly match." ”
"My lord, I, Cai Mao, also agree to hand over the military power of the generals to them to lead a decisive battle with the New Han army!"
Cai Mao now, on the surface, he will never dare to go against Liu Biao, because his sister has betrayed Liu Biao, and now Liu Biao seems to be a little suspicious, if he is not good and provokes Liu Biao's dissatisfaction, he is really a little worried about his life. Even if he had secretly expressed his submission to Cao Cao, but now that he was in Jingzhou, if Liu Biao wanted to kill him, Cao Cao would be beyond the reach of the whip and would not be able to save him. Therefore, he jumped out first and said that he completely agreed with Liu Biao's opinion. (To be continued......)
