Chapter 16: Which is more important
In this timeline that Shi Xun crossed over, Liu Bei's position was too far from the original history. First of all, now he has only been served by Gongsun Zhan as the minister of the plains, Tao Qian as the governor of the East China Sea, and Yuan Tan as the governor of Yuzhou - the state pastor is more than the prince, although the authority of the assassin has been expanded, the rank is still 600 stones, and it is not enough to reach the minister of the country and the captain. Jian Yong's concept is secretly changed, in fact, Liu Bei's identity is too far worse than Zhang Xiu, who is also a county guard, but still has the general and the liehou on his body. Besides, his clan identity has not been universally recognized in these years.
Speaking of prestige, Liu Bei in history ruled most of Xuzhou seriously, and he also led Yuzhou, and he had seen vicious battles with Lu Bu and Cao Cao, but on this timeline, he always sent people under the fence, and he never jumped alone. In addition, when he first arrived in Xinye, he couldn't be enweined, not to mention Xu Shu at this time, he was lower than Xu Shu's identity and reputation, and he was older and couldn't wait, and he might not be willing to go to Liu Bei's door.
Xu Yuanzhi was recommended by others, so he met Liu Bei temporarily, and when he met and talked, he found that this Liu Xuande was amazing, as the so-called "Hongyi is generous, knows people and treats people, covers the style of high ancestors, and the weapon of heroes", so he happily appeared. So who recommended Xu Shu? It turned out that Xu Shu killed someone in Yingchuan's hometown back then, was captured by the officials, and was rescued by his gang of rangers, one of whom happened to smell like each other, and followed Guan Yu for the heart of the belly, it was this person who met Xu Shu in Xinye City, so he recommended him.
But although Xu Shu thinks that Liu Bei is a good person and is willing to go out, deep down, there is also some uneasiness in his heart. First of all, Liu Bei's strength is too weak, and now is not the beginning of peace. Several big forces - Yuan, Cao, Sun, Lu. There are also Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou - all of which have become climate. Even if Liu Bei is resurrected by Gaozu, will he still have a chance to emerge? If you follow him yourself, will you cast a pearl into the dark?
Secondly, Liu Bei once followed Yuan Tan and fought with Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao has an advantage in the battle for the Central Plains, and he is holding the emperor in his hands, and Liu Bei is his enemy. The future will be even more bumpy. What kind of hardships and dangers do you have to go through to assist Liu Bei before you can fight your way out? Moreover, there is a greater chance that it will be destroyed in the end......
So this time, Xun looked at Xu Shu, shook his head with a wry smile, Xu Shu misunderstood, and said in his heart that he was sorry for me, and he voted for Liu Bei and would have no personal future? When I think of this, I can't help but feel a pang in my heart. The whole body is cold.
During the banquet, the strategists on both sides come and go. Listening to the big words, it was impatient at first, and then simply fell asleep. Seeing that the sun is sinking, it is estimated that he will not be able to talk about being ugly today-whether he can bring back to the topic is a question mark-he turned his brain, suddenly pushed the wine glass in front of him, and said: "I am no longer strong enough to drink, and I will disturb Zixiao tonight." ”
Deng Xi hurriedly said: "The service is in the village, and the pengxiao is shining, why bother the word?" He had already been mentally prepared, this negotiation could not be concluded in a while, and even if the negotiation could be completed today, he would not be able to let the guests run dozens of miles with torches to rush back, so they had already arranged their bedrooms. Shixun has the highest position among everyone, since he didn't want to stay any longer, he gave Zhang Xiu another look, so he simply withdrew from the table, and a servant led everyone to rest. It is Xun who lives in a single courtyard, guarded by the Deng family, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu each live in a courtyard, each has its own ten subordinates to guard, and the rest are all staying outside the village.
It was Xun so he hurriedly interrupted the meaningless war of words between the two sides, he was thinking, this kind of thing has to be talked to by the person who understands and understands the person face-to-face, that is to say, I have to go to see Liu Bei alone. And his main intention here is also to find out Liu Bei's current situation, whether he still has great ambitions, or has experienced setbacks and has withered a little - if Liu Bei still plans to rise up, he will strive to say that he will wither, if he has withered, then he will simply step on one foot again, and he will never be able to turn over!
After he entered the dormitory, he called someone to take cold water to wipe his face, was a little drunk, and then changed into his regular clothes and went out to visit Liu Bei. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Liu Bei was temporarily mailed, a person suddenly stepped out from the shadow of the tree and took a deep look: "On the orders of my lord, I will wait here for a long time." Please come with you. "When I looked closely, it was Xu Shu.
Shi Xun also wanted to have a good talk with Xu Shu, but unfortunately the courtyard was not big, and he arrived in front of the bedroom door in a few steps, so he only had time to say a word: "Liu Yuanjun wants to be Dou Ye, want to be Kui Ye?" Qing is Zhang Xuanye, and he is Liu Junye? Don't think about it......"
It is Xun who said that this is the current affairs of the early rise of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Dou is Dou Rong, united the five counties of Hexi, called the general, and later descended to Emperor Wu, the official to the third duke, ranked in Yuntai; Kui is Kui, divided from Longyou, Yang from the Han Dynasty and Yin rejected, and finally destroyed by Lai She, Geng Yi and other generals. Zhang Xuan was a debater under Kui Huan, and was ordered to lobby Hexi, persuading Dou Rong and others to "each according to its own land and longitudinal with Long and Shu" to jointly resist the Han soldiers; Liu Jun was the long history of Dou Rong and was ordered to present a book to Emperor Guangwu to dedicate his horse to the intention of Shen Toucheng.
To put it bluntly, it was Xun who was asking: Is Liu Bei willing to return to the imperial court? Or is it deliberately dividing one side? As Liu Bei's courtier, will you Xu Shu help the abuse, or will you obey the heavens and persuade Liu Bei to give up meaningless illusions and follow Cao Cao? Think about it.
Of course, Xu Shu will consider that if Liu Bei can't succeed in the end, and he can't even be the Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, then what's the point of him following? If you persuade Liu Bei to surrender to Cao...... The imperial court, maybe you can still get the reward of the marquis. Xu Shu is different from Zhuge Liang, he is to Liu Bei, just like Huang Quan and Meng Da are to Wei Chamber, and he really doesn't have such a strong sense of loyalty - besides, he and Liu Bei haven't been around for a long time at this time.
Of course, Xu Yuanzhi is disciplined after all, he will not leave Liu Bei and run away, nor will he immediately secretly communicate with the Cao family, Shi Xun just saw his hesitation, so he slightly dialed it to make the negative emotions in his heart expand.
When the two came to the door of the bedroom, Liu Bei had already gone out to greet each other, let Shixun into the room, and sat down as the guest and host. It was Xun who spoke first and asked Liu Bei: "Xuande expected that I would visit at night?" ”
When he first saw Liu Bei, he went to the plains with Tai Shici to move the rescue troops, and Liu Bei was the minister of the plains at that time, so he called him "Liu Fujun"; Later, I saw you again in Xuzhou. Liu Bei said that I have abandoned the plains. Don't call it that. Therefore, he is called "Xuande Gong". But now that it is Xun's reputation is much higher than Liu Bei's, he also has to respect his identity - these years, self-respecting people are always important, although this so-called self-respect is just a self-respecting position - so it is straightforward, just call Liu Bei's words.
Liu Bei didn't think it was angry, and nodded slightly: "I heard that the servant was Cao Sikong guarding the east of the Mu River, and he came to Nanyang." I will serve the mission, and I want to have something to say. It is inconvenient to talk about each other during the banquet, and selfish speculation must be at the preparation place, so treat each other. ”
"Xuande is a masterpiece in the world, and it is a pity that he will not be with Qing at the time, and even to this day," Shi Xun asked straight to the point, "In the past, he was from Tao, and Tao returned to Cao." I don't know why Xuande is not the same, but echoes Yuan Tan? General Gongsun is here. is not the same as the Yuan family, Xuande does this, isn't it laughed at? ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "There is nothing to be done about this." Tao Gongzu and Bei Enhou, but since the death of Gongzu, Meng Zhang (Tao Shang) only believed in the eldest father (Cao Hong), wanting to seize the reserves, and the old people of the plains came to visit, and Bei Nai had to temporarily follow Yuan Xiansi (Yuan Tan) ear. ”
It's Xunxin who said that you are, although you are considered a party of Lu Zhu, and Cao Hong will not reuse you after taking power, but since even Lu Zhu has not been purged in the post-Tao Qian era, let alone you? Why didn't I hear that Cao Hong was planning to attack you? Of course, there is no need to expose Liu Bei in person, he just asked: "Now that the Yuan family is in a hurry, and it is difficult for Xuande to return north, so he lives in Jingzhou, and I don't know if I really want to serve Liu Jingsheng as the master?" ”
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Liu Mu is a relative of the Han family, Corporal Lixian, the Quartet has returned, and Jingxiang is peaceful." Bei is poor and comes to vote, Liu Muying's suburbs, dare not repay this kindness? ”
Shi Xun asked: "In the past, I inquired about Xuande's ambition, and Xuande Naiyun: 'For the Han family, treacherous and evil power, the lord is covered with dust, so he does not measure his virtue and strength, and wants to uphold the righteousness of the world. When the Han family is re-groomed, it will be enough to comfort his life. "Now the Han Dynasty is already in Xu, why not rush to it, and curl up in Xinye County? ”
Liu Bei stared at Shi Xun's eyes, and said word by word: "The former Han was in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was in Bahu, and then in Chang'an, Li and Guo were in good government, and this is not a real Han." Although it has moved to Xu today, the weather is new, but Cao Sikong is alone in the dynasty, and he knows that he is Huo Guang and Wang Mangye? If you don't see it, you don't dare to follow it. In the past, there were also words in the waiter, and Cao Sikong was incapable of tolerating it......"
Shi Xun interrupted Liu Bei's words a little unceremoniously: "Then Xuande is Han Ye, for himself?" If it is the revival of the Han family, although Cao Sikong can't tolerate it, that is, he will be humiliated, why should the gentleman be afraid? If it is for one's own sake, it does not want to be subservient to the ears of others. "You are a generation of heroes, not really loyal ministers of the Han family, others may not be able to see clearly, but I know it, don't play any tricks with me! If you really want to revive the Han family, you have no selfish intentions, and you are afraid that Cao Cao will not tolerate you? Compared with the continuation of personal honor and disgrace in Han Zuo, which is more important?
Liu Bei didn't expect Shi Xun to be so sharp-hearted, and his face immediately changed - he was originally a person who was moody, but there is an upper limit to anyone's psychological endurance, and once the upper limit is broken, it will inevitably be panicked. It is said that Liu Bei is not a person who is very good at playing tricks, and in a sense, he is more face--Cao Cao is going to encounter this situation, maybe he will start to play tricks, Liu Bei can't do it-so he wanted to refute but couldn't find the words, so he had to lower his head, take a sip of water, and cover his shame.
There was an awkward silence in the room. It was Xun Xin who said that I didn't think that I could really convince Liu Bei in a few words, besides, even if I persuaded Liu Bei, what did I plan to let him do? Directly lead the team to vote for Cao Cao? I was originally reluctant to recommend Liu Bei to Cao Cao, but if Liu Bei was told to go to Cao Ying this time, then I would still recommend someone, and I would definitely be affected by him in the future. Can it still be said that Liu Bei will go into the mountains from now on and no longer mix with the troubled times? Don't talk nonsense!
When he came to Nanyang this time, all he had to do was to try to make Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu unable to conflict, so that the Cao family would not catch fire in the backyard. Well, let's follow this path and talk to him about it - so I asked: "I haven't seen General Gongsun, Xuande thinks General Gongsun is like a person?" (To be continued......)
