Chapter 2, Xiahou Zhongfu

The one who jumped out to oppose the law and asked Liu Bei to be the king is not him, it is Kong Rong Kong Wenju, who is a famous man in the world and a saint.

Thinking that Kong Rong was persuaded by Xun, he left Beijing to avoid trouble, and went south to vote for Liu Biao - although he was ostensibly ordered to hang Zhao Qi, but he did not plan to go back when he was done - and then Cao Cao cut down Jing, Kong Rong invited himself to go to Yizhou to ask Liu Bei for help. After that, he stayed in Yizhou for a long time, because Liu Qi used Zhou Yu's trick to imprison Liu Biao, such a son and committed his father's evil deeds, Kong Rong couldn't bear it, how could he live in Jingzhou again?

Seriously, Kong Rong is not Liu Bei's guest, just a guest, he still has the title of Taizhong doctor on his head, compared to Liu Bei himself, he is only high, not low, plus he is arrogant, his eyes are above the top, how dare Liu Bei succumb to it? Fortunately, Kong Rongxi was in Beihai and was surrounded by yellow turbans, but fortunately, Tai Shici and Shi Xun went to the plains to ask Liu Bei for help, which was all his life, so he had a sense of gratitude to Liu Bei, and he didn't dare to go too far with his usual words, otherwise even if Liu Bei had a large number, the Fa Zheng and Pang Tong would not be able to tolerate such evil words and old thieves.

But what Kong Rong said today was too much, not only directly opposing Fa Zheng's Jianyi, but also pointing the finger at Liu Bei and questioning him: Actually, you want to imitate Cao Cao, right? You also want to usurp the Han family, right?! When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger from the bottom of his heart-I haven't spoken at all, okay? If you want to scold, you can scold the law and be filial, why don't you leave my side and side? As the so-called "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong", in fact, you have long been dissatisfied with me, right? Thanks to my guests, you are allowed to attend such an important meeting - I know why there are rumors that Cao Cao is going to kill you. You are also hiding Liu Biao. My belly is not necessarily bigger than Cao Cao, I sue you. Don't push Lao Tzu hard. I'd rather bear the name of harming the virtuous than take the head of the old thief!

Fortunately, Liu Xuande is Liu Xuande after all, when it comes to acting skills, he can be the leader in the world, and even Xun has experience in later generations. Although he was annoyed in his heart, Liu Bei's expression was as strict as ever with warmth, and he tried to keep his voice soft at the moment, but asked Kong Rong: "That is, Kong Gongyi." What should I do? "You say I shouldn't be king, so how can I call on the people of the world to confront the traitor Cao Cao?

Kong Rong twisted his beard and talked eloquently: "Xuande is the clan of the Han Dynasty, after King Jing of Zhongshan, if he can destroy the ugly and help the Son of Heaven to return to the old capital, it is Wang Keye, why should he stand on his own without waiting for the edict, and be honest?" The former Holy Father (Liu Xuan) is the Son of Heaven. In order to please the new reckless, the position is not right. Therefore it is defeat. Shizu (Liu Xiu) at the beginning of the beginning of the more partial general also, the eagle Yang Hebei, three points of the world have to have two, and the Holy Father also died, the ministers are the one who asks God to call the number, Judah three resignations are not accepted, and finally the mandate of heaven is in order to succeed the Han. Today, the son is still here, how can Xuande be the king? Is it a state shepherd and can't fight against usurpation? ”

I think that when Liu Xiufeng Dai was the first emperor Liu Xuan attacked the Xinmang Dynasty, he was just a general at first, and his name was not high, but he still won one by one, and now you are the lord of Yizhou, do you have to add a crown to dare to confront Cao Cao?

Fa Zheng listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but sneer, saying in his heart that Kong Wenju was really a corrupt Confucian, opening his mouth was a big truth, and the problem didn't even make much sense. Indeed, when Liu Xiu first raised his army, he was a general, and the problem was that when the first emperor Liu Xuan died, he was dying in Hebei, and his position had risen to the rank of general who broke the captives and did great things, can it be comparable to the current Liu Bei? Now that Cao Cao is the prince and prime minister, you have to be a townsman, a great Sima general or something, to be able to match it, but Liu Bei is no more than the Yangcheng Pavilion Marquis and the miscellaneous general Zhenwei, and the name is not the same, how can you put the carriage and horse to fight with Cao Cao?

People are greedy, and no matter how loyal they are, they will definitely consider their own position and future. So now there are two choices, one is Cao Cao, Shi may be Wei Zhi's minister, more than 1,000 stones, and the other is Liu Bei, who is the most general and state minister, 400 stones, 800 stones, and is still outside the establishment...... Which one do you think ordinary scholars would choose to take refuge in?

Besides, we have just returned from Guanzhong, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate, so we should correct our position at this time, and if we arch Liu Bei further, our subordinates will also be able to increase their official ranks, so as to envelop and boost people's morale. Do you think that the construction of my title of king was a fantasy with a lap of the head? I have deep intentions in my heart, how can you and other rotten Confucians pay attention to it?

was about to stand up to refute Kong Rong, but unexpectedly was preempted by Pang Tong. Pang Shiyuan was shocked when he opened his mouth: "What Gong Kong said, it is appropriate to think deeply." Even Liu Bei couldn't help but be slightly startled, and said in his heart that Kong Rong only has literary talent and no knowledge, and it's just nonsense here, Shiyuan, don't you have the same heart as me? Or do you want to fight for power with filial piety, and you don't even care about national affairs? If that's the case, then I'm blind and I'm looking at the wrong person!

On the surface, he was still silent, and asked Pang Tong: "What do you mean?" ”

Pang Shiyuan didn't get up, that is, he smiled slightly at the table: "Now that Sun Quan and Liu Biao have been wiped out, the remaining lord is a corner of Yizhou, and if he wants to resist the world, it is also difficult." And if you want to go to Long, you must come from Liangzhou, and Lu Bu is on the side, which can be used as a reinforcement but cannot be defeated - the enemy is a force, and Cao Cao can benefit from the fisherman. Therefore, the meaning of unification must be linked to Lu Bu, and then Cao can be rejected. And Lu Bu has always been arrogant, and now he has to be crowned a duke, and when he is satisfied, the lord is the king, and Bu Anken is subservient to the lord? ”

If we want to fight Cao Cao alone, the difficulty coefficient is too great, and we must unite with Lu Bu and march to Guanzhong together. Question: Lu Bu has just been crowned a duke, and you are in a hurry to claim the title of king here, so can Lu Bu be happy? I think that because of your poor reputation, you bowed low and became small in front of Lu Bu, but you were a lot of anger, you are a lot of magnanimity, but if you fall over, can Lu Bu have such a big belly? Would he accept a prince to unite with him?

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded again and again, and even Fa Zheng made a straight face, and said in his heart: I hate it, this bastard is quite reasonable, I owe it to me......

"Then, that is, in the posture of the state pastor, to resist Cao Caoye?" Liu Bei asked again, and Pang Tong glanced at Kong Rong confidently: "No, in this way, there is nothing to win people's hearts, boost morale, and the strength is not good, and the name is not as good, how to resist it?" Speaking of this, he slowly stood up and looked at Kong Rong: "The name of Han." There are kings and princes. If it is not Liu Buwang, there is no merit and no merit. And there is no justice, but Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to make up his ears. Now the lord can be promoted to the throne, but he can be with Lu Buqi, and slightly inferior to Cao - Kong Gong, with the Han no lord imposed on himself, it is not a usurpation, but with his spear to attack his shield, which is not beneficial to mock the old thief in person. What do you think is the case? ”

There was no duke in the Han Dynasty, "duke" was just an honorific title, I think Wang Mang was honored as "Duke of Anhan", and there was no real sense of feudalism, until Cao Cao, he inexplicably came up with such a new trick, we as Hanchen, should not admit it at all. So since you don't admit it, it's just a false name outside the system, and you can call yourself casually. You won't be mistaken by Kong Wenju for having the intention of usurping, right? We just pick up the tools of Cao Cao's self-respecting prestige and use them, which is like slapping Cao Cao in the face. You don't have a problem with that, right?

When Kong Rong heard it, alas, this is good, Cao Cao knew that he had to be angry to death-" What Shi Yuan said is true, and Rong has no objection. ”

Liu Bei is also very happy to have a plan, although he can't be a king, he can be a duke, mainly because even if he has his own feudal country, he is no longer like Yizhou Mu, and theoretically he is still in the old courtier system, saying that he can change people. You said that if Cao Cao appointed a new state minister one day by order of the imperial court, what should I do? If you get up and chase them, I am afraid that people will say strange things and ignore them, which will inevitably lead to the dispersion of people in Yizhou. This time, if you want to send the state pastor and the state assassin, you can send it casually, and if you want to send the county guards, you can also get it, and I can expel it "justifiably" - this is my feudal state, and the imperial court cannot directly govern it, unless the imperial court first directly governs your Wei State and Lu Bu's Liang State.

Only Fa Zheng was unhappy in the audience - the limelight was robbed by Pang Shiyuan, but it seemed that I was not thoughtful, and I almost harmed the name of the lord. Hmph, Pang Tong, Pang Tong, I want you to look good sooner or later, and I'm not in a hurry, but I have to kill this big-mouthed hole first!

So in the evening of the same day, Fa Xiaozhi hurriedly went to see Liu Bei, and when he inquired outside the lobby, he said that Jian Zhi had come back and was playing to the lord. Fa Zhengxin said that Jian Yong was not ordered to inspect the counties? He came back quickly--I am not close to each other, and no matter how trusted I am by the lord, after all, I have not been with Jian Yong and them for a long time, and have shared hardships, this force can be brought as friends, not enemies, so as not to push them to the side of Pang Tong. So he said, I will wait outside the door first, and when Jian Cheng finishes talking to the lord, you can report it again.

Jian Yong came back so quickly, which was also much unexpected for Liu Bei, so he was in a hurry to talk to him and asked him: "Where is Xianhe going?" Can you get meritocracy? "Jian Yong said that I was lucky, I just ran to Guanghan, so I invited you back a great sage. Liu Bei hurriedly asked where and who was his surname? Who wants Jian Yong to sell Guanzi, and said slowly:

"I went to Guanghan, entered the county (Guanghan County), Xiahou Gongxu invited guests all over the place, set up banquets and ......"

Xiahou Gongxu is also a distant clan of the Xiahou clan of Peiguo, when Liu Bei was still in the plains, he was like-minded, and he was often given the matter of money and food - to put it bluntly, he was in charge of logistics. THIS PERSON IS QUITE ECONOMICALLY TALENTED, FAR MORE THAN JIAN YONG, SUN QIAN AND OTHER MOUTH CANNONS, IN LIU BEI'S ORIGINAL PARTY IS A RARE POLITICAL BUREAUCRAT, LIU BEI ONCE PRIVATELY COMPARED, SAYING THAT JIAN XIANHE IS MY ZHANG LIANG, XIAHOU GONGXU IS MY XIAO HE - OF COURSE, JIAN YONG IS NOT A STAR AND A HALF WORSE THAN ZHANG LIANG, AND IF XIAHOU SU IS XIAO HE, THEN IT IS ESTIMATED THAT LIANG LIANG MUST BE XIAO HE MARKII.

After entering Yizhou, the original party firmly grasped the military power on the one hand, and the main elite soldiers were not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, or Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi commanded, not to mention Ma Chao and in-law Wu Yi, who were praised by Liu Bei as "one body is courageous", had to go far to the back. At the same time, they also hoped to seize the main administrative power, but unfortunately there was a lack of talents in this area, so they had to arrange Xiahou Su to serve as the Taishou in Guanghan County, where the old rule was located.

Therefore, Jian Yong ostensibly inspected the counties, but in fact, he was looking for talents, and the first stop was to go to Guanghan to meet Xiahou Su, which was also reasonable. The distance between Ruxian and Chengdu is less than 200 miles, and I came back with a casual whistle - Liu Beixin said that my luck is really so good? You Jian Xianhe and Guanghan are looking for the right talent?

I saw Jian Yong raise a finger: "I am in the public banquet, and I can see that there are many talents in Shu, and I think of recommending them to the lord." Suddenly, Gongxu introduced a person, and he called him 'Middle Father'......"

Liu Bei couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Although Xiahou is a humble person, after all, he is the guardian of a county, and he is his confidant, so he calls others "middle father" that is, uncle, who has such a big face? Is it because the real generation is high, or is the ability so strong that Xiahou Su has to give the gift of the juniors?! (To be continued......)
