"Why should the two younger brothers be humble?"

"I thought that Beibei was just a white body, but thanks to the blessing of several younger brothers, he sat in his current position. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Whenever I think about my past experiences, I feel a little ashamed."

"In preparation, what qualifications do you have to do this great position?"

"It's a pity that the two younger brothers are unwilling to take this responsibility, otherwise"

There is something in the words! Although Liu Bei is not an overly smart person, at least he can see that Xiang Fei and Kong Yun's attitudes have changed a little, right? Since the two entered Moling, the relationship with Liu Bei has been a little rusty. And the most important thing is that although the generals of Jiangdong worshiped Xiang Fei's martial arts, they were still full of loyalty to Liu Bei.

But nowadays

Liu Bei is very hypocritical, there is no doubt about this.

At the same time, Liu Bei is also very good at capturing people's hearts, and from a slight change, it can be seen that the strongest civil and military combination under his command has changed his attitude towards him. Liu Bei didn't know what the two of them really thought in their hearts, so he didn't dare to say anything, in case he angered the two, the situation in Jiangdong would definitely be destroyed in an instant, and Liu Bei couldn't afford to gamble!

But Liu Bei's words just now put the two of them to death, if the two really dare to have a heart of disobedience, think that even if Jiangdong is no longer ruled by Liu Bei, the two will be spurned by the world. At present, Liu Bei wants no people, no soldiers, and the only thing he has is public opinion!

However, just the word public opinion can restrain Kong Yun and Xiang Fei to death, as long as the two of them make a slight move, they will definitely fall into a place of no return! The most important thing is that the great enemy of the princes in the world at the moment is Liu Tai, at such a juncture, the lord of one side is naturally the most eye-catching, if he is defeated, he is also the one who dies the fastest, Liu Bei does not believe that Xiang Fei and Kong Yun dare to take this risk!

Of course, all this is just Liu Bei's personal conjecture, and no one knows what Xiang Fei and Kong Yun actually think!

"How can my brother say such frustrating words?"

"I, Xiang Fei, recognized my brother in this life, so I will always be a younger brother for the rest of my life, and I will never dare to have any delusions!!"

Xiang Fei looked shocked and fell to the ground at Liu Bei. No one knows what he thinks in his heart, but at this moment, Xiang Fei's surface work is very good, and he can't find the slightest flaw in his honest and frightened appearance.

"Hey"

Kong Yun, who is a wise man, looked at Liu Bei's sincere appearance at this moment, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and fell to the ground at Liu Bei with a "plop" and said: "Brother, no matter how much I am confused by power, I will never dare to covet my brother's position, and I hope that my brother must not think like this again, if this is the case again, my brother can only give up all his reputation and return to the mountains and forests."

Kong Yun's demeanor was more trusting than Xiang Fei's, at least after listening to Kong Yun's words, everyone present, including Liu Bei, couldn't help but change their faces. If Kong Yun really retired, then it is estimated that at least one-third of Jiangdong's officials will abandon their official positions and leave!

You must know that when Liu Bei occupied Yangzhou, the economic production of the entire Yangzhou was completely destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, if it weren't for Kong Yun's three-inch tongue to persuade the major scholars in Yangzhou and ask the scholars to come forward to help Liu Bei fill the vacancies in various places, would Yangzhou have such a view now?

Kong Yun is the biggest hero!

Whether it's politics or military strategy! In troubled times, it is possible to lay a foundation by force alone, but without civil rule, can this foundation be stabilized? Can you firmly occupy this territory?

Liu Bei is a prime example in history.

Before there was any help from any top strategists, Liu Bei got a rich land like Xuzhou, but what were the consequences? In the end, it's not a bamboo basket to draw water! Got nothing, and even became a lost dog under the fence, such a miserable situation, doesn't it show that the top strategists are important to a force?

It is conceivable that if Liu Bei did not have Kong Yun's help, even if he drove the Yellow Turban Army out of Yangzhou at the beginning, Yangzhou would still return to the hands of officials appointed by the imperial court in the end. And with Liu Bei's record, he may be able to get a local official to do, but in this way, under Liu Tai's strong coercion, Liu Bei's life is almost useless.

"Fourth brother, my brother won't say it, I won't say it again."

"It's my brother's fault, my brother shouldn't cross the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" I saw Liu Bei rushing down the stairs with a nervous expression, stepped forward to help Kong Yun, and said with a look of self-blame. Just a moment, Liu Bei did raise his heart to his throat, in case he really accidentally took away Kong Yun, then Liu Bei really had no place to cry.

"Brother"

Standing up, Kong Yun's expression was extremely helpless.

As a wise man, Kong Yun sees the general trend of the world more clearly than Liu Bei.

The Han Dynasty, which is now falling apart, will be unified again in at least one year or three years at most, so what can Liu Bei do even if he resists again?

In Kong Yun's opinion, even if he occupies Yizhou Island, it is just a matter of surviving, with Liu Tai's ambition, it is absolutely impossible to allow Liu Bei to stand on his own, doesn't Liu Bei know this?

Liu Bei knew, but Liu Bei was unwilling and unwilling to surrender to Liu Bei.

Perhaps, this is the sorrow of the princes, who can clearly see it, but they want to force it.

However, Kong Yun is always not a king, but a minister!

The most important thing is that Kong Yun is also Liu Bei's brother-in-law.

As a brother with a different surname, can Kong Yun not help Liu Bei? Even if he knew that it was impossible, Kong Yun would not abandon Liu Bei, perhaps, this is the so-called brotherhood.

"Brother, time is running out now, Yun and the second brother must rush back to Yizhou to preside over the battle within three days, the reason why Yun and the second brother come back this time is that the most important thing is to hope to strengthen the eldest brother's idea, if the eldest brother feels hopeless, then there is no need to continue."

Ming people don't say code words in front of them, and Kong Yun has nothing to scruple about at this moment, and in front of the civil and military officials, he directly said what he wanted to do.

It is worth mentioning that when everyone present heard Kong Yun's words, their expressions were different, and some even secretly frowned, obviously showing an annoyed look at Kong Yun. Most of these angry people are some old masters, who have always regarded the courtesy of kings and ministers as their concept, and when they saw Kong Yun's self-held brother of the lord, he actually did not save face for Liu Bei, and he was immediately dissatisfied.

Liu Bei opened his mouth and looked at Kong Yun's solemn look and couldn't speak. Looking at the masters behind Kong Yun who were angry with Kong Yun, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes. In fact, when Kong Yun said those words, Liu Bei was already moved, and Liu Bei didn't understand anything else, but Liu Bei could clearly feel it for those who really thought about themselves.

To be honest, this time Liu Bei recalled Kong Yun and Xiang Fei from the front line, which meant that he wanted to deprive them of their military rights. In the past few months, Wen Chou's dictatorship in the Western Regions, and even the deeds of being suspected of self-reliance have been exaggerated by everyone, and Liu Tai deprived the governor of the power, so naturally he can't hide it from the people of the world.

Even if Liu Tai is a hero, he will worry about the possible rebellion of his subordinates, how can a "hypocritical" person like Liu Bei not have it? And the current situation in Jiangdong is even worse than that in northern Xinjiang! Although it is said that in the former northern Xinjiang, half of the military power was in the hands of the governor, and the power of the governor was monstrous, but in fact, half of the military power was in the hands of Liu Tai!

Liu Tai, who has half of the military power, even if those governors really have any thoughts, it is absolutely impossible to be above board.

But what about Koto?

Almost ninety percent of the military power is in the hands of Xiang Fei and Kong Yun! As a result, the Koto regime was completely deformed.

As a monarch, Liu Bei can mobilize less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and these tens of thousands of people are old, weak, sick and disabled. But Xiang Fei and Kong Yun, who are courtiers, have nearly 100,000 elites in their hands! The combat power possessed by these 100,000 elites is not at all comparable to those old, weak, sick and disabled in Liu Bei's hands.

It is conceivable that if Yiyi Fei and Kong Yun thought a little bit about it, then Liu Bei's fate would be miserable.

Liu Bei is also a hero!

Just ask, how many princes in the world dare to really delegate military power!

Of course, Liu Bei's emotional card is not comparable to other princes, and it just so happens that Xiang Fei and Kong Yun are very fond of this!

So obviously, in the end, Liu Bei won.

"If the fourth brother has any requirements, as long as he can help, he will never blink his eyes!"

Liu Bei knew that it was time to make a statement, and if he didn't make a statement, then he would really force Kong Yun to go to a "dead end!" ”

In fact, before this, Kong Yun also hoped that Liu Bei would express his position many times and be ready to break the kettle. But Liu Bei has always been very hesitant, and it can also be said that he is undecided. Because of the so-called preparation, that is, Liu Bei will relocate the foundation to Yizhou, and most importantly, send the people of Jiangdong to Yizhou, such a big project, once it is launched, it will never stop.

In other words, once Liu Bei made a decision, he would completely give up the Central Plains hegemony! Not to mention Liu Bei, even if Cao Ying and Sun Quan and other princes can make a decision in a short time? 100% impossible!!

Giving up the Central Plains is also equivalent to giving up the dream.

Liu Bei's hesitation can be forgiven by everyone.

And the reason why Kong Yun is pressing step by step is that he also hopes that Jiangdong will prepare in advance, after all, with the current situation in northern Xinjiang, the pace of unifying the world has begun again, and the two prefectures of Sili and Xiliang are far from satisfying Liu Tai's ambitions.

Kong Yun did not make a "request" at the first time, but glanced around at the civil and military officials present, more than eighty percent of these civil and military officials did not know what dumb riddles Kong Yun and Liu Bei were playing, but Zhang Zhao and Hua Xin were exceptions!

The eyes of these two people were extremely solemn, they lowered their heads and were thinking about something, and when Kong Yun's gaze fell on the two of them, the two of them naturally sensed it. Zhang Zhao raised his head and looked at Kong Yun, he didn't say anything, just bowed his head slightly, no one could see the actual thoughts of Zhang Zhao's heart about the Yizhou strategy, even Kong Yun couldn't.

Hua Xin is an exception!

Guan Ningsheng's surname in Yilong is indifferent, so he is ranked in the tail of the dragon, although Guan Ning has served in Northern Xinjiang over the years, he actually rarely gives Liu Tai any strategy, so how much ability Guan Ning has, others really can't see clearly.

And the dragon body Bingyuan belongs to the mediocre type, neither forcibly seeking power, nor being too weak, so over the years, Bingyuan has been like a fish in water in the officialdom of Northern Xinjiang, and he is only one step away from stepping on the highest group of power in Northern Xinjiang, and his ability can be said to have been recognized by everyone.

Most of the time, Bingyuan and Hua Xin are equally famous, or even slightly higher than Hua Xin, or this is also because Hua Xin is not in the northern Xinjiang. But even so, Hua Xin can be equal to Bingyuan's reputation, and it can be seen from here how unfathomable Hua Xin's ability is.

Hua Xin is very special!

It stands to reason that Hua Xin's friendship with Jiangdong officials must be for the purpose of using power for personal gain or something else. But Hua Xin has never used the power in his hands to obtain anything for himself, and even in the mansion given to Hua Xin by Liu Bei in Moling, it seems extremely deserted, not to mention money, and there are not even a few servants.

And according to rumors, on Hua Xin's birthday earlier, officials rushed to visit, and those gate lords and scholars even sent countless precious gifts, but although Hua Xin accepted them on the surface, he returned them one by one in private, and it can be seen from here that Hua Xin is really honest.

This kind of surname, which regards money as dung and glory as cloud smoke, how can he deliberately make friends with hundreds of officials? It's really like I don't understand, and because of this, although Kong Yun dislikes Hua Xin's behavior, he didn't say anything, at least he didn't say anything bad about Hua Xin in front of Liu Bei.

In fact, befriending hundreds of officials does not mean that you have to form a party for personal gain! The role of hundreds of officials is very large, and Hua Xin took the initiative to make friends, which can only show that Hua Xin knows how to drive the general trend for his own use. In this way, even if Hua Xin does not use the actual ability of hundreds of officials on the surface, in private, the officials will agree with Hua Xin's views in all aspects, and pave Hua Xin's career into a golden road!

"The meaning of the military advisor, we know it very well in our hearts, but has the military advisor thought about it? If Jiangdong confirms Yizhou as a base camp in this regard, how bad will the morale of the army be? When the time comes, don't talk about a comeback, I'm afraid that as soon as the heaven-sent army arrives, our army will collapse, right?! ”

Hua Xin did not mention the benefits of completely occupying Yizhou, but pointed out that if Liu Bei built Yizhou with the strength of the whole Jiangdong, it would give people an illusion that the Jiangdong Army would not dare to be the enemy of the Tianci Army.

Kong Yun frowned.

Hua Xin proposed this, how could Kong Yun not think of it? But Kong Yun is also helpless, if he does not support the development of Yizhou with the strength of the whole Jiangdong, then what is the significance of Yizhou's big rear? Over the years, Jiangdong has spent countless manpower and material resources to reach peace conditions with Shanyue, so what's the point? Those tens of thousands of heroic souls who died on the battlefield couldn't have died in vain?

To implement the grand strategy, we must have boldness! Although Hua Xin has a unique vision, he understands the advantages and disadvantages of Yizhou to Jiangdong. But Hua Xin didn't see that if Jiangdong did not have the big rear of Yizhou, he would not have the ability to fight with the Tianci Army at all, and he would have the luxury of using the Yangtze River as the line to fight a large-scale and protracted battle with the Tianci Army? Dream!
