The "certain careerist" in Guo Jia's mouth is of course not talking about Liu He, but referring to Liu Bei in Xuzhou. With Guo Jia's keen eye, he has long seen what Liu Bei's idea is to go to Xuzhou to fight, and in his opinion, Liu Bei is a person who is both capable and ambitious, and once he has a firm foothold in Xuzhou, he may be Cao Cao in the future, which is obviously not conducive to Liu He's great cause of reunification.

In order to deal with Liu Bei, Guo Jia then thought of Liu Bei's former teacher, the current Jizhou Mu Lu Zhi.

The reason why Liu He said that Guo Jia was getting worse and worse was because Lu Zhi's other student, Gongsun Zhan, was forced by his teacher to take risks after Lu Zhi became the pastor of Jizhou, and died in the Taihang Mountains. If Lu Zhi is allowed to go to Xuzhou again, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to eat and walk around.

No matter in terms of fame and qualifications, Lu Zhi can completely blow up Liu Bei, as long as Lu Zhi is willing to serve as Xuzhou Mu, who sits on the crater, Dahan can't find a second person to compete with him.

After Liu He laughed, Zhengse asked Guo Jia: "It's definitely a good idea to ask Lord Lu to clean up that mess in Xuzhou, but only if he agrees." In addition, the land of Xuzhou is not under my father's control, even if we show the court that Lord Lu will be the pastor of Xuzhou, with Wang Yun's suspicious and jealous character, I am afraid that we will not agree. Also, if Lord Lu leaves Jizhou, who will deal with Yuan Shao for us? ”

Guo Jia had already considered this and replied: "Lord Lu's character is resolute and resolute, which is diametrically opposed to the Han Wenjie, although he is close to the sixtieth year, he often has the ambition of being honest. Xuzhou has now become a place of four wars, but it is also the most able to test the wisdom and ability, in the face of such a challenge, Lord Lu will definitely not retreat, but will only face the difficulties. Wang Yun is now trapped in Chang'an, and has suffered from all kinds of warlords in Guanzhong, and it is estimated that he already has the idea of returning to Luoyang in his heart, but it is just for the sake of face. It's hard to open up to Childe. If Gongzi acquiesced to him escorting the young emperor east to Luoyang, Wang Yun would naturally return the favor and let Lord Lu serve as the pastor of Xuzhou. As for the question of who will replace him after Master Lu leaves Jizhou, it is actually the simplest, and the ready-made candidate is right in front of him! ”

Guo Jia's analysis hit the nail on the head, basically guessing all the thoughts of Lu Zhi and Wang Yun, Liu He could understand it as soon as he heard it, but what he said "right in front of him" made Liu He a little confused. Liu He asked Guo Jia: "You mean that you want to go to Jizhou to take over Lu Zhi's position?" ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "Childe threw me so many things. How do I get out of here? Besides, with my current age and qualifications, it is too young to be a county governor, and it is even more inappropriate to be a state minister! ”

"Then you mean to let Zitai go to Jizhou? Or let Mr. Wen Wei go to Jizhou? Liu He still looked puzzled.

"Neither! The only one who can succeed Lord Lu is you, Childe! ”

When Liu He heard this, he jumped to his feet and said, "What? Don't mess with me! Don't think I'm busy enough? My father is now a hands-off shopkeeper, throwing everything on my shoulders, and now you are here to pry me to be the pastor of Jizhou, do you want anyone to live? If I go to Gaoyi. Who will take over this big stall in Jicheng? Besides, who just said that his age and qualifications are not enough to serve as a state pastor? It seems that I am a year younger than you, so do I have qualifications? ”

Tian Chou, Li Ru and the others watched Liu He chatter and complain to Guo Jia, all laughing and silent. Guo Jia's face was full of black lines, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute several times, but he was suppressed by Liu He's cannon.

After Liu He finished complaining, Guo Jia said slowly: "We were operating in Luoyang for the two years. All kinds of hardships and hardships, Childe has personally experienced them. Although we returned to Youzhou in the past two years, Luoyang was governed by Zhu Jun, Zhao Wen, Zheng Tai and other old ministers and Li Yan, Xianpei and Wei Qi who were left behind. The former imperial capital has been restored. To put it mildly, Luoyang can have today, all thanks to Gongzi's original efforts to overcome public opinion, and at the great risk of being dug up the foundation of Youzhou! The group of corpses in Chang'an City, now that they see that Luoyang has regained its vitality, they naturally want to come back to pick fruits, but if they don't pay a certain price, how can Gongzi agree? ”

"With Gongzi's merits to the Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the official of any state, that is, to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister! If Wang Yun wants to return to Luoyang this time, he must not only agree to let Lord Lu take up the post of Xuzhou pastor, but also send the official seals of Jizhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu to Gongzi, so that we will suffer! ”

Liu He was a little stunned by what Guo Jia said, he really didn't think that what he had done over the years would be so highly praised by Guo Jia, and now that Guo Jia was even involved in Qingzhou Mu, Liu He was even more confused when he heard it.

"Gongzi just opened his mouth and asked Wang Yun, and when the imperial court really promulgated the will, you don't have to go to Gaoyi in person, you just need to entrust the affairs of the state to Mr. Zihui. When Han Wenjie was in Jizhou, Mr. Zihui was in the middle of the government, and he was familiar with all the affairs in the state, and now he is just familiar with Jizhou! ”

Guo Jia's meaning is to let Liu He hang the name of Jizhou Mu, and the actual political affairs will be completely handed over to Liu Hui to do, and when the time is ripe, Liu Hui will be promoted to the position of Jizhou Mu. With Liu Hui's ability and loyalty shown over the years, serving as the pastor of Jizhou is indeed a matter of course, and if he is allowed to return to Jizhou, there will be a taste of making a comeback and returning to his hometown.

Liu He thought for a moment and asked Guo Jia: "If Mr. Zihui is sent to Jizhou to replace Lord Lu, where will the current Jizhou be frustrated?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "Fu Gong and (Fu Zhi Gong He) have great ambitions and many powers, so he can be appointed as the pastor of Qingzhou!" ”

Liu He thought of the situation that Qingzhou was now occupied by Gongsun Du, Kong Rong, Tian Kai and the Yellow Turban Army, and couldn't help nodding and said: "That mess in Qingzhou, you really have to have a person with great power and wisdom to clean it up, and you know how to use soldiers, you are indeed a good candidate." ”

Li Ru reminded him: "Son, in my humble opinion, the war in Qingzhou is imminent, and the top priority is to send people to the East China Sea to assist the Mi family in guarding the foundation, otherwise when Lord Lu arrives in Xuzhou, the general trend has gone, and if you want to gain a foothold, you are afraid of thousands of difficulties." ”

Tian Chou also echoed and said: "This person is equivalent to going to Xuzhou for Lord Lu to fight the front stack, so he must be brave and strategic, and it is best to be a person who knows how to march and fight, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress the local forces." ”

Liu He sighed a little and said, "Alas, I have to send a capable person over again!" However, there are too few talents like this under me! Now everyone wears many hats, let go of any of them, it is a gap, you have to find someone to come up, I really don't know who to send to Xuzhou. ”

Tian Chou suggested: "Gongzi might as well send General Taishi Ziyi to secretly go to the East China Sea to help Mi Zhu defend Tancheng and Qu County. ”

For Tian Chou, a good buddy, Liu He has always been very respectful, and he patiently reminded Tian Chou: "Zitai also knows that Lord Lu and Fu Gong will not be able to stay in Jizhou for a long time, and the main general of Jizhou against Yuan Shao in the future will be Taishi Ziyi, if he is also sent to Xuzhou again, I am afraid that the entire Jizhou defense line will be dangerous!" ”

Tian Chou insisted on his own proposition and said: "It is precisely because General Taishi is brave and resourceful, and loyal to his son, that he is the best candidate to go to Xuzhou." Now that Cao Cao is busy with the war in Xuzhou, the pressure on Tian Kai in Qingzhou has decreased sharply, and it is enough to contain the Yuan army on the flank of the Zhenwu battalion, and the Zhenwei battalion is actually in a situation where there is nothing to do, unless the Yuan army takes the initiative to provoke. Now that General Zhang He has led the army to reinforce Jizhou and has not yet returned, Gongzi may wish to hand over the military power of the Zhenwei battalion to him, and he will temporarily serve as the commander of the two armies. ”

Liu He's eyes lit up suddenly, and he thought to himself how he had forgotten Zhang He, a fierce general. With Zhang He's ability, it doesn't seem to be a problem to give him 108,000 soldiers and horses?

After some discussion, Liu He hurriedly went to see his father, and asked his father to come forward to write a recital to the imperial court, write a letter to Lu Zhi, and Liu He himself also wrote a letter to Tai Shici, carefully explaining the matters that need to be paid attention to after going to Xuzhou.

A few days later, Lu Zhi of Jizhou received a letter from Taifu Liu Yu, in which he wrote: Recently, I heard that Cao Cao of Yanzhou raised 100,000 troops to march eastward, saying that "destroy the Tao clan and wash Xuzhou in blood". Since Lu Jun's comeback, he first guarded Yuyang, and then controlled Jizhou, which won the hearts of the people, and the credit is in the community. Now I want to express Lu Jun as the chief of Xuzhou, save the people of Xuzhou and the sea of blood, I don't know what to do?

After Lu Zhi saw it, Da Lu laughed a few times and sighed: "Those who know me, Taifu also!" If it is for the people of the world, it is to abandon this old body, so what's the matter? Even if Xuzhou is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Lu Mou will break through this time! ”

At the same time, Zhenwei general Tai Shi Ci also received a letter from his son Liu He, after Tai Shi Ci read it, he immediately sent people to Zhang He's camp to contact, and Zhang He led his army to join Tai Shi Ci on the second day.

Tai Shici handed over General Zhenwei's seal letter to Zhang He, and said with his resignation: "Jizhou is safe, so I will entrust it to General Zhang!" ”

Zhang He nodded and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi is going to Xuzhou, it is very dangerous, the brothers who are the best in the two armies of Youyan and Zhenwei, you just have to choose and bring more helpers over in case of emergency!" ”

Tai Shi Ci thanked Zhang He for his kindness, selected dozens of agile and experienced combat leaders and military marquis from the army, changed their clothes, and rode straight to Qingzhou on a fast horse.

After Tai Shici left, Zhang He gathered the generals to discuss the matter, organized the two armies of Youyan and Zhenwei together, and also warned the officers at all levels of the Youyan Army that they must live in harmony with the brothers of the Zhenwei Army and work together.

The old foundation of the Zhenwei battalion was the Jizhou soldiers who defended Gaunt Tao and Gaoyi, and it was Zhang He who commanded them to fight at that time, and now Zhang He temporarily took the military position of Tai Shici, and the two armies had no complaints, and tens of thousands of soldiers continued to confront the Yuan army south of Juluze.
