Chapter 337: Liu Bei intercedes

The third factor of success is that you insist, to put it bluntly, people have to have a strong will, victory is not arrogant and defeated, the road ahead will not be smooth sailing, there are always such setbacks and difficulties, as an ambitious person to meet the difficulties to meet one challenge after another, to move forward and finally win the other side, Guan Yu is not so, he has been accompanied by challenges along the way, and there is no lack of one crisis after another, it is this situation that makes him gradually mature, and he has experienced his strong will, Although he is only 33 years old, Guan Yu's rich experience and experience are incomparable to even 60-year-old people, this is his wealth.

Do we say that with the above three points, can we succeed? Not necessarily, a good life needs to be planned, we have also mentioned above, planning the future can better control the future in order to grasp the initiative of life, the initiative firmly in their own hands, not to catch blind, not to be confused and depressed and overwhelmed, although Guan Yu has such and such conditions and advantages, but it is not difficult to deny Guan Yu's ability to control the future, which is not something that ordinary people can do, as a reborn modern person Guan Yu has come to this position today is not accidental, The hardships in this are not something that ordinary people can understand, and we must also admit that Guan Yu is so diligent in his career, never degenerate and never slacken.

Guan Yu, the promoted prime minister, still lives in the general's mansion that used to be He Jin, and the general Wenpin admonished Guan Yujin: "The lord wants to change his mansion if he wants to be promoted to the post of prime minister, this general's mansion is too shabby, which place the lord likes, I will study and solve it for you!" ”

Guan Yu waved his hand after hearing this: "I think this general's mansion is good, this place is not small, more flowers and greenery are enough, just change the plaque on this mansion, I still settle here!" ”

"My lord is so frugal! Okay, I'll do it! Wen Ping immediately took the order and left

Guan Yu, who served as the prime minister, did not make a big deal, let alone be extravagant, like Dong Zhuo before, and stayed in the Dragon Palace at night. He still chose to live in this general's mansion, and the scope of his activities was only in the area of the South Palace in Luoyang, which was used as a place for courtiers to discuss and the emperor's office, and the North Palace was where the emperor and his concubines lived, and Guan Yu would never step into the North Palace unless necessary. He is so clean and self-conscious, and he will never take half a step beyond Lei Chi, although he is now promoted to prime minister, but he is still very low-key and still respects the emperor, this is the biggest difference between him and Dong Zhuo, and in Guan Yu's heart, the prime minister is definitely not his ultimate dream.

Now Guan Yu understands a truth, what truth? That is, "political power is obtained from the barrel of a gun", this is a saying that has been said by a great man in modern times, and he is deeply touched by it now. It is precisely because of the strong military power that Guan Yu can be like a fish in water in political reform, smoothly bring down one opponent after another, and break through one obstacle after another, it is precisely because of the strong military power as the backing that he can call for wind and rain in the court, and he can get the support of so many people, of course, Guan Yu's political strategy is also very flexible and ingenious, which makes him take a lot of detours, and he has done a lot of things without bloodshed. Naturally, he took up the post of prime minister, and now he can do a big job.

said that Guan Yu was promoted to the post of prime minister. It was transmitted to Cao Cao in Wancheng, and Cao Cao was really angry when he heard it! I thought: Why did Guan Yu come to this? Cao Cao immediately ordered troops to raise a division to defeat Guan Yu, and the strategist Xun Yu admonished: "The lord must not be angry, and he will be angry!" Guan Yu is now strong and strong, and his power is in full swing, and it is difficult to compete with it. It's not time to fight anymore! For today's plan, we should recuperate and recuperate, and it is not too late to send troops to attack Luoyang again in the future! ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and the strategist Guo Jia admonished again: "Why should the lord be angry, Guan Yu's move to overstep will definitely be opposed by people of insight in the world, even if the lord does not attack, some people can't bear to be lonely!" The lord only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Feng Xiao said yes?" Cao Cao pointed to the north as he spoke. Guo Jia smiled knowingly, who is in the north? It's not someone else, it's Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who are entrenched in Bishui Pass!

But said that Yuan Shao in Bishui Pass waiting for Luoyang's news but did not see the letter from Luoyang, this night but heard the southeast side of the thunder and earth-shattering, a sergeant had already reported that Yuan Shao was Guan Yu and Cao Cao did it, than the next morning to get the news that Guan Yu regained the tiger prison, Cao Cao was defeated and returned to Wancheng, Yuan Shao was very shocked when he heard the news, it seems that the direction of Luoyang has changed! Yuan Shao waited left and right but couldn't wait for the good news from Luoyang, there was no news and he didn't dare to move troops without authorization, as long as he continued to wait in Bishui Pass, and within two days, another bad news came: Guan Yu put Huang Wan, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others under house arrest and was deposed and demoted to a commoner, and what made Yuan Shao even more angry was that Guan Yu took this opportunity to be promoted to prime minister and take charge of Luoyang government affairs, Yuan Shao was immediately furious: "Guan Yunchang is tolerable or unbearable!" Yuan Shao took the case, and immediately ordered troops to conquer Luoyang, and at this time another news came: Gongsun Zan of Beiping defeated Wen Chou and won the Youzhou striker and went straight to the river. Yuan Shao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news, Jizhou is his hometown, once he loses, the consequences are unimaginable, and now he has to put down Luoyang and go north to conquer Gongsun Zhan!

Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, Wen Chou was a famous general in Hebei, why couldn't he reach Gongsun Zhan? His subordinates reported that Gongsun Zhan had no capable generals, but recently a new fierce general appeared, saying: Changshan Zhao Zilong! At the age of 19, the force was very much in order to win, and Wen Chou fought more than 100 battles without winning or losing, Wen Chou lost several battles in a row, unable to resist the enemy, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to have such a talent, so he led the army north to arrive at Gongsun Zan , leaving the general Zhang He strategist Feng Ji Zhen to guard the Bishui Pass, and the rest of the people all went north to conquer Gongsun Zhan

Cao Cao is waiting for Yuan Shao to exert his strength, but unexpectedly, Yuan Shao has already returned to Jizhou, and the plan can't catch up with the changes, and now the Tiger Prison Pass has been taken away by Guan Yu, if the chance of winning the battle is basically not big, so he has to rest and recuperate, and he has nothing to do to see Guan Yu as the prime minister, and now Cao Cao not only can't enter the army, but also has to beware of Guan Yu, Guan Yu is such a big force around him. It was possible to attack him at any time, Cao Cao didn't dare to take it lightly, but thinking that such a pass was still occupied by Yuan Shao, his heart was a little calm, Guan Yu would not easily go east if he went straight to Bishui Pass, and Bishui Pass would not directly threaten Luoyang if he did not take it. This is equivalent to putting a barrier in front of you to ensure your own safety.

Cao Cao then left Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiuzhen to guard Wancheng, and he returned to Xuchang to wait for the opportunity, Cao Cao because he gave Yuan Shu food, Yuan Shu bluffed and did not send real soldiers, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he wanted to raise a division to crusade against Yuan Shu, and the strategist Cheng Yu recommended: "If the lord crusades against Yuan Shu, it is not impossible, the timing is not bad now, Yuan Shao has no time to go south, Guan Yu has the fetters of Bishui Pass, if we send troops to Huainan, we don't have to worry about who will try my rear, Huainan is rich and fertile for thousands of miles." Once we succeed, our strength will increase greatly enough to compete for hegemony in the future, and having such a large territory is enough to compete with Guan Yu, which is really impressive! However, at the moment, the new defeat of the army needs to be repaired, and the preparation is sufficient before the army can be dispatched! ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard after hearing this: "It's exactly what I want!" Yuan Shu is just a dry bone in the mound, but Huainan is a rich land, I want to live for a long time! Don't miss this opportunity! But now that we have entered the deep winter season, we are about to celebrate the New Year, our army should rest, and it is not too late for the spring flowers to bloom in the coming year! Cao Cao immediately decided.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Han Sui had all retreated, but Bishui Pass was still in Yuan Shao's hands. Luoyang's threat was basically lifted, and Guan Yu was promoted to prime minister and received a huge amount of money. It's all ready! I didn't expect that money would be so easy to get, if I had known that this would have been the case, there would be no need to leave so many people to develop production, it's really unpredictable! However, since this decision is not bad, it is also a good plan to work hard to develop production, and if you take up the post of prime minister, you must let the people see hope, and you must make some political achievements. Guan Yu still feels that there is a lack of talents under him, although there are many talents in the court now, they are still a little stretched.

On this day, Guan Yu was taking care of official business in the house, but saw Liu Bei coming to the house, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, Liu Bei informed Guan Yu of the current situation. said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang! There's something you need to decide! ”

"What's the matter, second brother, just say it!" Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei continued: "The second brother deposed Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others from the jue Lu the previous time, these ministers were very remorseful and said that they should not do that, and they were very remorseful after their titles were deposed, and hoped that the second brother could retain the title of their daughter, and they could quit the government but hoped to leave a way back for their children!" ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Who are their children who are named!" ”

Liu Bei immediately took out a list from his body and handed it to Guan Yu, Guan Yu took the list and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be: Huang Wan's son Huang Kui; Yang Xiu, son of Yang Biao; Seed of the series of seeds, the son of the seed series; Dong Cheng's son, Dong Yue, Guan Yu, said after reading it: "Big brother, it's not that I don't talk about human feelings, my principle of employing people is meritocracy, it's not that I'm not accommodating, it's not that I'm an official revenge, I can only leave one of these people, that is-Yang Xiu, and the rest can't stay, and I hope that the foolish brother will tell these people!" ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and he then persuaded: "Yun Chang! You can't do it all the time! These people are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they are also loyal to the Han family, do you think you can be accommodating, even if you give them a title, it won't cost much, what does it matter, let's just levy more taxes! ”

"Big brother! If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! At present, the state treasury is empty and unsustainable, and the soldiers' food, war preparation, military development, water conservancy, agriculture, and consolidation of city defense must be spent on the ministers of the DPRK and China. Why do you want to streamline the government! The purpose is to save resources, save unnecessary expenses, and spend money on the cutting edge! Guan Yu said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei showed a look of helplessness on his face after hearing this, as the eldest brother, he came forward to intercede for these ministers, but it was only interceding, as for whether he could pass, it depends on the face of his second brother Guan Yu, after all, Guan Yu is the real master, and he Liu Bei also has to respect this master who is younger than himself, seeing that Guan Yu is so stubborn and does not give face, Liu Bei understands the temper of his second brother, and no one can change the things he decides, especially now Guan Yu has been the number one since he became the leader, and Liu Bei has no choice about him, after all, official affairs have to be done, As a subordinate, he only has to obey, Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu did not agree, so he made a greeting and withdrew.

Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others were placed under house arrest by Guan Yu because of the revelation of the affair with Yuan Shao, and then they were deposed from the title. How these people have endured! Not only is his title gone, but even his children's fortune has been canceled, and he has been working in the court for so many years, and he has been wearing clothes to reach out and eat to open his mouth, living a carefree life, and now he has been demoted to a commoner, how should he live in the future? Many of these people are important ministers of the imperial court. These people found Liu Bei in desperation and asked Liu Bei to come forward to intercede, Liu Bei is Guan Yu's sworn brother is soft-hearted, and he can't help the persuasion of these ministers, and immediately decided to intercede for them, to be precise, for their children!

They thought that Liu Bei would succeed if he came out, but as the eldest brother of the Han family, didn't Liu Bei have any face? When these people looked forward to Liu Bei's arrival, they saw Liu Bei's helplessness, shook their heads and said that this matter could not be passed, and these ministers were like five thunderbolts after hearing it! Liu Bei had no choice but to comfort them, and Liu Bei saw that these people were really pitiful, so he ordered his subordinates to take out some money from their own money and give them as a coil. Let them return to their hometowns, Liu Bei personally sent these people away, full of emotion

Liu Bei, a relative of the Han family, has been committed to the revival of the Han family, seeing Guan Yu become bigger and stronger, this brother who worships with him, a brother who swears to be the same as life and death, has now reached the pinnacle of power, and he is a general of the chariot cavalry. As for how much power he has, it is unknown since he defected to Guan Yu. Guan Yu enshrined him to the position of second in command, as the emperor's uncle, Liu Bei had to obey Guan Yu's arrangement, how could he not support his second brother when he was in power? As long as Guan Yu really aims at the revival of the Han family, no matter what he does, Liu Bei will support it, because the current Emperor Xian is too young to be a director, and there is nothing wrong with Guan Yu making the decisions. Guan Yu is a person who has both ability and political integrity, and he is responsible for a big task, so that there is hope for the revival of the Han family, and what he can do is to assist him in doing things, this time Guan Yu won these veterans in one fell swoop. Pushed a group of newcomers, to be honest, Liu Bei is somewhat puzzled, Huang Wan, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, etc. are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and are all veterans, loyal to the Han family, and all of them are eliminated, which is equivalent to removing the loyal power of the court at once, although there are still some important ministers in the court, but they are all old, as for those people promoted by Guan Yu, he is unheard of, what kind of people are he, he is not sure of his idea, they are all pulled up by Guan Yu, Most of the current court and the army are Guan Yu's henchmen, Guan Yu is in power, this second brother is amazing now, all affairs are decided by himself, now Emperor Xian is young, and he will be able to govern in a few years, can Guan Yu still be in Emperor Xian at that time?

This matter made him a little more worried, as a member of the Han family, as His Majesty's imperial uncle, how could Liu Bei not think about the Han family? But then again, this is his righteous brother, a brother who swears to live and die, and outsiders are not the same, he is still relatively relieved to be in power, he just hopes that this second brother can live in harmony with the Han family, don't make any contradictions and chaos, otherwise it will be himself who will be embarrassed! The current situation still makes him more optimistic, although a group of people have been changed, but there is still harmony between Guan Yu and Emperor Xian, Guan Yu still respects the meaning of Emperor Xian on major issues, and asks him for approval in case of major events, and he still respects Emperor Xian, Guan Yu never does things, never takes a step beyond the palace, and is relatively low-key, these are completely different from Dong Zhuo, from this level he still recognizes this second brother! At present, the three of them are gathered under one door to do things, as righteous brothers, they should be of one heart and one mind, thinking in one place, and working hard in one place, if there is even a gap between brothers, then how can they do great things? As the saying goes, "the family and everything is prosperous", "brothers work together to break the gold", to dominate the world and sweep away the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the sea, you have to have a brother's heart, the current is to assist the second brother Guan Yu to do things, the family has a thousand people is one person, Guan Yu is very suitable as the master, he is extraordinary in force and strategy, has courage and knowledge, but also has ambition, and has experience and experience, under his leadership will be able to create a new brilliance of the career, eliminate the Quartet, he should try his best to be a good assistant to do things, Liu Bei thought like this.

Guan Yu's decision to keep Yang Xiu was really surprising to Yang Biao, and the other ministers who were deposed were also deeply surprised, and the Yang family seemed to have hope! Yang Xiu was immediately summoned by Guan Yu to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two met, Guan Yu saw Yang Xiu for the first time, Yang Xiu was just 20 years old at this time, he was very handsome, Yang Xiu had poetry and books in his belly, talented, and was a smart person, but he was smart and mistaken, and was finally killed by Cao Cao, who was jealous of his talent, in fact, to put it bluntly, he was a little arrogant, too much to show off his talents, as the saying goes, "the gun shoots the first bird, and the rafters rot first", the most taboo for the master is "the master of high merit", you can be low-key if you are talented, But this guy didn't care about it, and ended up killing himself.
