Chapter 405: Two Years Later

Immediately, Zhang Fei glanced at the survey angrily, but still shouted, "Go, go and see the lord first, and I'll invite you to drink wine and eat meat in a while!" ”

His favorite thing Zhang Fei is to survey such a powerful and bold guy. Besides, if he loses, he loses, and that is because his skills are not as good as others, so it's no wonder that others. Has he lost less under Huang Zhong over the years, will he still hate Huang Zhong.

"Good! It just so happened that I had been fighting for so long, and I was hungry too! Survey exclaimed excitedly. The crowd was in a cold sweat. Not long ago, I only ate 150 catties of soy sauce beef, how long has it been, and I'm hungry again.

"Lord!" Survey and Zhang Fei shouted at the same time.

Liu Yao looked at the survey, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Survey, you will follow me in the future!" As for the accommodation, you can live with Yide. "Anyway, these two goods look like they are looking at each other, so they just let them get together.

"Okay!" Survey smiled innocently. He also felt that this Zhang Fei was very suitable for his appetite, especially since he still owed himself so many roasted whole pigs, and he had meat to eat.

"Okay, wow, let this big voice live in my house." Zhang Fei agreed without hesitation. But the next moment, his face changed, and he said with some embarrassment, "But my lord, let's talk about it first, this big voice still needs to be raised by you, and I can't afford to support his big appetite." ”

"Haha, this is no problem, but Yide, I think you better go back and change your clothes first!" Liu Yao looked at Zhang Fei's wolf appearance, his face full of playful abuse.

Zhang Fei's old face flushed. I looked at my bare feet, covered in dust, like a groundhog. He left the stands as if he had fled. The crowd burst into laughter.

"Gonghe, it's not too early, let's go and announce the official end of the imperial examination." Liu Yao said with a smile. This time, whether it is the process or the result, it is very perfect, and Liu Yao is also very satisfied.

"No!" He arched his hand, and then strode forward, just a summary statement. It's too easy for someone like that.

However, in the next second, Liu Yao's face, which was still full of smiles, instantly darkened. Glancing at Li Yan beside him, Yan asked solemnly, "Li Yan, do you have anything to say to me now?" ”

The depression on Li Yan's original face disappeared in an instant, and he said respectfully to Liu Yao, "Thank you for your advice." The Admiral has understood. Although I lost to General Huang, I shouldn't be down, but I should work harder to hone my martial arts. ”

He saw that Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei were defeated before, but he didn't care about it, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, if he couldn't even bear such a blow, what would he talk about in the future.

Liu Yao nodded secretly, and continued to ask sharply, "What else!" Li Yan only said one point. But there is one more important thing that I did not realize.

Li Yan's face changed, and his heart tightened. For a while, he really couldn't think of anything wrong with him, and cold sweat flowed down unconsciously. But the next moment, he turned his head and saw Zhou Tai and Tai Shici, who were talking, and instantly had a little understanding, and recalled Zhang Fei and Zhan Zhan, and his heart was more certain.

Even a famous general like Tai Shici Zhang Fei can mingle with the new generals, what qualifications does he have to be arrogant as an unknown person, and it is impossible for him to integrate into Liu Yao's command in this way.

"My lord, the last general understands." Li Yan said firmly.

"Teachable!" Liu Yao naturally saw Li Yan's eyes and nodded with satisfaction. A person who will destroy the harmony under his command, no matter how talented he is, Liu Yao will definitely abandon him.

And just when Liu Yao and Li Yan were talking, Fu Zhu also officially announced that their first imperial examination in Youzhou was officially over. A total of more than 100 people were favored and retained by Liu Yao, which can completely make up for the gap left when those corrupt officials were cut off before.

As for Liu Yao's original idea of wanting to have a good time with that survey, as soon as he Liu Yao brought it up, he was directly destroyed by everyone. Just kidding, after seeing the huge destructive power of the reconnaissance again, how could they allow Liu Yao to do it with him. The survey will not spare his hands, in case he hurts Liu Yao, then the matter will be a big deal. Helplessly, Liu Yao could only give up this idea because of everyone's obscenity.

This is the end of the imperial examination, but his influence is far from over. With the success of the first session, I believe that the scale of the imperial examination in the future will be larger, and more talents will also be able to be gathered.

At the same time, this wind of imperial examinations also quickly spread to the ears of other princes. Except for Cao Cao, who looked like I knew, the others were full of anger and envy.

Is this Liu Yao clearly competing with them for talents, and he is still robbing them openly. But one by one, they were helpless, and Liu Yao's method was only available to him, and no one else could do it alone. can only say that this resentment is buried in my heart. Stop thinking about these things, secretly accumulate strength, and prepare for future wars, this is the king.

Spring went to autumn, time flew by, and soon two years passed, and it was already May 22, 193 AD.

The whole Han was very calm on the surface, and there was no big war movement. Even if there were, it was just that the respective princes had pacified the civil strife by themselves, and there was no duel between the princes.

Of course, except for one person, as early as when Liu Yao held the imperial examination a few years ago, Yuan Shu had already begun to act against Nayangzhou. However, I have to say that he Yuan Shu is really a straw bag, obviously with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, but when he attacked Yangzhou Assassin Shi, which had less than 100,000 people, it actually took more than a year. This occupies half of Yangzhou. There is another half of Yangzhou, which is naturally the territory of Jiangdong in history. But it's a pity that now that Sun Ce is still under Yuan Shu, there is naturally no way to sit in Jiangdong. Therefore, the current Jiangdong is still in the hands of a vote of thieves led by Yan Baihu.

However, in the past few years, there has also been a big and small thing, at least Liu Yao is very concerned about this.

That is, a year ago, Kong Rong finally made a move on that Liu Bei, don't look at him Kong Rong usually looks like a good old man, but if he is really ruthless, it is really not to be underestimated.

As early as a year ago, his Kong Rong's body was completely recovered, and he began to slowly regain control of the military power in the North Sea. With the prestige of that Kong Rong, in just a few words, the military power of the entire Beihai was regained control in his own hands.

After Liu Bei couldn't get in touch with the military power, Kong Rong began to slowly reduce Liu Bei's rights in Beihai according to Liu Yao's intentions, although he is still a Beihai master bookkeeper, but it is obvious that Kong Rong does not give him anything to do, then he is an empty shell.

On the other hand, he also sent someone to slowly spread the gossip that Liu Bei had poisoned and assassinated him. For a while, his Liu Bei's entire reputation in Beihai stinked. But Kong Rong stood up at this time and defended Liu Bei in person. But he said it very cleverly, on the one hand, he said that he Liu Bei was a good official, and he worked hard for Beihai conscientiously, and only praised him for his efforts in work. But did he explicitly say that Liu Bei's poisoning is not true, so his Liu Bei's character still needs to be verified. In this way, on the one hand, it can stabilize that Liu Bei, and at the same time, it can also bury his Liu Bei's notoriety in the hearts of the people of Beihai first.

How could he, Liu Bei, not know that this was that Kong Rong was going to make a move on himself. But he couldn't help it. Kong Rong's movements were so fast that he didn't react at all, and the military power he originally controlled was gone. Without military power, he is nothing, and he can only quietly watch that Kong Rong constantly suppress himself.

However, the only thing that made Liu Bei happy and Kong Rong depressed, or a person, was naturally Guan Yu.

Originally, Kong Rong spread the news of poisoning according to Liu Yao's intentions, and the main purpose was to provoke the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei. But very helpless, both Liu Yao and Kong Rong underestimated him Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei. Guan Yu turned a deaf ear to those news, he only needed Liu Bei's words, then he could trust Liu Bei unconditionally.

But it's a minor flaw. No harm. Finally three months ago. He Kong Rong arranged a qiē, directly took Chen Qiang and Wu Anguo as generals, and sent 20,000 troops, preparing to kill Liu Bei as a whole and cut off a major tumor in Beihai. To deal with a small Liu Bei, he actually directly sent 20,000 troops, which shows his Kong Rong's determination.

As for Nawu Anguo, it can be regarded as lucky, in history, when he was in the Tiger Prison, he was broken by Na Lu Bu, and in the end he could no longer be a general. But now because Guan Yu is under Kong Rong's command, he Wu Anguo did not go to the Tiger Prison Pass, but was left behind in Beihai, which can be regarded as preserved. Speaking of which, Guan Yu is in a sense, that is also his benefactor, but now he wants to kill that Guan Yu in turn, which is really interesting.

However, it is obvious that Kong Rong still underestimated Liu Bei too much. Historically, Liu Bei's sense of smell for crises was unusually keen, otherwise it would not have been possible to escape successfully.

As early as when Kong Rong attacked him and reduced his strength, he expected this day early. It's just that he has no way, and in that case, either resist or leave.

Resisting oneself without soldiers and power is purely looking for death. Leaving Beihai is a good choice, but it is obvious that Kong Rong is clearly going to kill him, if he leaves, it will give that Kong Rong a better chance and secretly destroy himself. In desperation, he could only watch Kong Rong's movements step by step.

However, it is not his Liu Bei's style to sit back and wait, as early as that day, he began to prepare, began to prepare for himself, and today he finally used it. (To be continued......)
