Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Liu Bei first started with Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan also had a friendship with him - both of them went to school under Lu Zhimen - so although he was like a mirror in his heart, Gongsun Zhan was not a good bird, and he had to hold two sentences in his mouth: "General Gongsun is both civil and military, mighty and powerful, and also a hero in the world." ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you only talked about Gongsun Zhan's ability, and did not say a word about his moral character, which shows that your brother's conscience has not been completely wiped out - "General Gongsun was in Youzhou, and he committed the following crime and killed Liu Bo'an (Liu Yu), so he asked for forgiveness from the imperial court. It is talented, cherishes its deceit, forgets the good, can be a famous general in peacetime, and it is difficult to recover in troubled times. Without waiting for Liu Bei to refute, he asked again: "I haven't seen Yuan Qingzhou, Xuande thinks Yuan Qingzhou is like a person?" ”

Liu Beixin said that Gongsun Zhan has been devalued by you to worthless, not to mention Yuan Tan - I don't think much of Yuan Tan's goods myself, I really didn't like him at the beginning, I figured out that he was here with him. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "I don't want to hide the evil of others." "I'm not going to help anyone else apply grease and whitewash, so I don't comment on Yuan Tan.

Shi Xun said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen Yuan Qingzhou, I have heard a little about what he did in Qingzhou. Hua Yan and Kong Shun are both traitors and villains, and they believe that they are their hearts, and Wang Shuzhi (Wang Xiu) and other officials are just officials. He led the women and brothers into the army, and ordered the grass to be stolen, and the market was out, and the fields were plundered. Don't let the two generals recruit troops to go down to the county, those who have bribes will be exempted, those who have nothing will be seen, and there will be many poor and weak, and even jump in the hills and wilderness, let the troops go to catch ropes, like hunting birds and beasts. There are 10,000 households in the city, and the number of books is not hundreds, and the collection and taxation are not one-third. Recruit the Magi, no; Do not tend to go to the military period, and settle in the ethnic party. and ...... neither can they sin"

He is basically endorsing the book and saying "Three Kingdoms? Yuan Shao's Biography quoted "Spring and Autumn in Kyushu", saying that Yuan Tan trusted villains, alienated wise men, and persecuted the people. Civil affairs are in shambles. However, it was Xun's intention not to scold Yuan Tan-

"Hebei is a talented man, and Yuan Benchu is to make his son herd Qingzhou, although the government decree is absurd and does not know how to replace, from this, the original is also vain. The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an and does not know how to save it. The Son of Heaven moved east and did not know how to welcome it, but he reverted to Liyang, and wanted to intercept it. The original camper, Yuan's also, not Liu's! After saying these few words, there was a sudden turn of the moment: "Ran Xuande thinks that Liu Jingsheng is like a person?" ”

Liu Beixin said, "You are here with me to evaluate the heroes of the world? Speak on one by one. In the end, it's going to talk about your master, Cao Cao, right? said that all the princes in the world are inferior to Cao Cao...... Did you think of helping Cao Cao recruit me this time? Well, I'll hear what you can offer. After thinking about it for a while, he replied to Shi Xun: "The servants think that General Gongsun is not enough to calm the world, and Yuan Benchu is not sincere to Liu, which is reasonable." However, Liu Mu is a relative of the Han family, ranked as the 'Eight Jun', and Jingzhou is vast. It is decided to pass it on, in case of going to Xiangyang to see, the people are happy, and the people are raised, which is not comparable to Yuan Qingzhou. When it comes to civil affairs, it is also above General Gongsun. ”

Shixun nodded: "I don't know if Xuande went to Xiangyang, can I see Zhao Weiqing?" In the past, Zhao Gong came at the edict of the Son of Heaven and wanted to invite Liu Jingsheng to rejuvenate the King of Qin, but he only entered the state border, and he heard that Liu Jingsheng sacrificed to heaven and earth in the suburbs. Later, when he saw him usurping the king of Jiuhan, he thought he was angry. From this, it can be seen that Liu Jingsheng is determined to restore the Han Dynasty, but the one who is restored is probably the queen of King Lu Gong will also ......"

Liu Biao is a descendant of Liu You, the fourth son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty. It's Xun's meaning, Liu Biao won't betray the Han, but he's probably because he wants to be the emperor!

Liu Bei's face was full of astonishment: "I haven't heard of this!" ”

Shi Xun couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, whether he was fake or not, so he had to say: "I have not been taught by Zhao Gong for a long time, but I am under the orders of the court, and I am not allowed to visit ......" Zhao Qi has been lingering on the sickbed since he ran to Jingzhou to move 3,000 engineers, so he has never been able to leave Xiangyang, and he has not been able to run Xu Du to serve the emperor, and he misses him a lot-"Write a letter tomorrow, ask Xuande to forward it, and ask Zhao Gong about the day before yesterday." ”

Liu Bei said, his heart said yes, Liu Biao, you have also scolded, whose turn is it next? When did you talk about Cao Cao? Who thinks that Shi Xun didn't mention Cao Cao at all, but said: "Therefore, the three of them, in terms of their talents, their ambitions, and their hearts to serve the Han, are not as good as Xuande, and Xuande has no choice but to go down." It is to know the general trend of the world, which is not something that can be saved by manpower, and talented people are unable to fight when they are not in time. Xun is Xuande's regret, as the so-called 'General Li, meet Emperor Gao, what a foot of the Marquis of Wanhu! ’”

Liu Beixin said that your words are quite fresh, I don't know which sage said it - in fact, it was the words of Liu Kezhuang in the Southern Song Dynasty, of course he couldn't have heard of it - thinking about what he had suffered for half of his life, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pathos in his heart. I had to drink saliva again to hide the subtle expression that I couldn't help but reveal.

Shi Xun then persuaded him: "When General Li was Emperor Xiaowen, he was too guarded by the county and wanted to join the conscription, so he reflexively died and became famous. If Xuande is in a peaceful world, he can also be a virtuous shepherd, and he will work hard in troubled times, but it is too late. That being the case, the security place, waiting for the call of the imperial court, why did he succumb to Liu Biao and attack General Zhang for him? General Zhang is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and there is no major crime, attacking General Zhang, how different is it from rebelling against the imperial court?! ”

Liu Beixin said that you turned such a big turn, it turned out that you were still talking about Zhang Xiu - Liu Biao promised, conquer the whole county of Nanyang, let me be the county guard, I have a county, I have a chance to reinvigorate, this opportunity definitely don't want to lose! was thinking about how to get back to Yesun, so I heard Shixun say another word-

"Liu Jingsheng said that Xuande was the Taishou of Nanyang, and he promised that if Xuande broke General Zhang, he would be able to rule the whole county. However, Liu Jingsheng controlled the seven counties, brought 100,000 armor, and the good generals were sharp, and those who were not able to be antagonized by General Zhang were not self-sufficient, and those who entrusted Xuande knew that the imperial court would have to save General Zhang. Xuande is innocent, but for the sake of the fire? ”

Liu Bei didn't understand what it meant to "take chestnuts from the fire", but he also knew that it was not a good word. I only heard him reply: "Jingzhou's navy is the best in the world, and it is a pity to fight Er'er, and it is difficult to be the pawn of Liangzhou, so Liu Jingsheng is preparing to attack, and it is ...... "Liu Biao didn't deliberately cheat me, but we northerners know how to fight on the plains."

Shi Xun said with a smile: "The strength of the former Qin is also, the Chu disciples are afraid of the public to reject it, and it is like losing Guizhou in World War I and Yingying in World War II, and the king of Chu abandoned the temple and flooded the river." However, the prosperity of Xiang Ji is to break the Qin division of the tiger and wolf with the decadent Chu pawn in Julu and Thorn Plain, and pit its 200,000 people. It is the courage and cowardice of the soldiers, the control of the generals, the dispersal of the soldiers, and the restraint of the generals. Only use the clerk to take it as a partial teacher. His literary employment helped Xuan Deye? Or spy on Xuan Deye? ”

Liu Beixin said that you want Liu Biao to give me all the soldiers? That's not! But there is some truth in what he said, Liu Biao is using me as a gun this time, I know it, but there is no way......

I heard Shixun continue: "I have heard before I go that the imperial court will send the Yuzhou army to aid Wancheng, then Xuande will defeat the people with outnumbered, but can he be guaranteed to win?" If there is a fall, is Jingsheng willing to benefit the Qing soldiers again? Or even Shinno is difficult to survive. I am worried about Xuande, because I am a friend, so I came to save me. ”

What did Liu Beixin say, Cao Cao still had the strength to send troops to rescue Zhang Xiu? Originally, I added Wenpin, and Zhang Xiu's strength was half a catty and eight taels, and there was not much chance of winning in a real fight, if I added Cao Jun...... "I don't want to be an enemy with General Zhang, Liu Mu ordered it, and I had to obey it." I don't know how to prepare for it? "Don't go around in circles, you don't want me to embroider Zhang, I know this thought, but you should also take into account my situation, under this premise, what good idea do you have for Hongsuke, who is famous all over the world? Speak up and listen to it.

Shi Xun smiled and said: "Xuande is far away, and the sergeant is tired; Xinye County is small, and the grain is not sufficient; Wancheng is high, and it is not easy to capture. He paid tribute to Liu Jingsheng, so that the armor and grain were more beneficial, and the mission was exchanged, that is, when the Qing Dynasty was really delivered, the imperial court reinforcements also arrived, and it was possible to seek more benefits for the soldiers......"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and the other party's words were a bit of a request for me to raise my self-respect...... I'm happy to do this work, but it's a pity that it's not a long-term solution - "Set up Liu Mu to increase soldiers, horses, and grain, but to march into the army, but what?" ”

"When I am next year, I have my own plan, so that Jingsheng will not promote Xuande." Please live in peace for a few months, and when the New Year is over, Liu Biao will not urge you anymore, I naturally have a way to contain him!

The next day, the two sides continued to negotiate, but nothing came out at all. But since Shi Xun had already discussed with Liu Bei and talked to Zhang Xiu, although the negotiations broke down, the big guys didn't slap the table on the spot, but gathered and dispersed, and went home separately. Before leaving, Shi Xun took Deng Xi's hand and asked him in a low voice: "Liu Jingsheng is not a talent in the world, so he doesn't need Qing's good words." Why don't you serve in the imperial court to show off your wealth? Deng Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am favored by Liu Mu, although I can't use it, how dare I betray it?" The kindness of the servant can only be understood. ”

Yes Xun just persuaded him casually, and he didn't plan to really take Deng Xi away - he now has a large number of young talents under his hands, do you still care about such an outdated old thing?

After returning to Wancheng, Shixun was finally able to hug the Gan family, quench his thirst for more than a year, and then wait for the arrival of the army led by his father-in-law Cao Bao with peace of mind. In his original plan, he had to see Cao Bao first, and then he could go south to Changsha to lobby Zhang Xian - if Cao Bao didn't come, Zhang Xiu would not be at ease, and he would not let him go. Even the most conservative estimate is that Cao Bao should have arrived at the beginning of December, but he can't wait for the left, and he can't see the right, but Xun Xin said no, and his father-in-law's actions are too turtles......

Time is like flowing water, and the New Year is coming in the blink of an eye, I originally agreed with Liu Bei to delay it until the New Year, as long as I say that Zhang Xian will raise the anti-flag at that time, Liu Biao is still in the mood to consider Zhang Xiu? Liu Bei must be ordered to stop where he is, and Wen Ping must also be transferred back to avoid a war on two fronts. But seeing that the deadline is approaching, I haven't even taken the first step on the road to Changsha!

While he was in a hurry, he sent people to Yuzhou to inquire about the news, urging Cao Bao to do his best to aid Wancheng. Soon, news came back, it turned out that Cao Bao's soldiers and horses had already been reorganized, but they did not go east, but rushed south-

"December is Shuo, intercept Yuan Shu on the Yingshang!"
