As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei understood what they meant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yun Chang, Yide, Xianhe, and Junyi, you go out first!" Liu Bei said quietly.
"Big brother......" Zhang Fei wanted to speak dissatisfied. Our brothers have been friends for so many years, what else is there to avoid?
"Yide, go out first!" Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei and said in a deep voice.
"Humph!" Zhang Fei glared at Liu Feng before leaving.
"Youping, you should go out first, you are so martial, it is estimated that you can't beat Yun Chang and Yide, but you can have a fight with Captain Zhang." Liu Feng commanded.
"Subordinates obey." Zhou Tai went out in response.
In Liu Beijun's camp, as long as Liu Bei is not hostile, Liu Feng will be fine.
"Yide is still dissatisfied with me!" Liu Feng said with a smile.
"He just can't let go of face, and he still admires Brother Zhiyuan." Liu Bei said.
Then the conversation changed, "Brother Zhiyuan, I can have today, thanks to your help, I really don't know how to thank you?" ”
"Xuande is polite, it's been so long, what do you want to say thank you!" Liu Feng said.
"No, no, it's in the past for you, but for me, I've always wanted to find a chance to say thank you in person. When the county order was released, Zhiyuan made a great effort to speak for me in front of the first emperor. Later, he was promoted to Minister of State, which was also the help of Brother Zhiyuan. Although I haven't seen him for several years, I remember Brother Zhiyuan's great kindness in my heart. Liu Feng insisted.
"Xuande, you can have today, it is the result of your own efforts, the first emperor has a good eye for people, and it has nothing to do with me." Liu Feng hurriedly denied it. This matter really has nothing to do with him, it was Liu Feng who made his own decisions at that time.
"Zhiyuan doesn't need to deny it, I have heard about it, it was when you returned from your visit to Yizhou and met Your Majesty. If you hadn't spoken for me again, I wouldn't have had a chance to be promoted to the head of a county with you!" Liu Feng said.
"Okay, you say yes, then forget it!" Liu Feng smiled bitterly.
Liu Bei really thinks too much, this matter has nothing to do with him, if it has anything to do with it, it is that Liu Feng's appearance reminds Liu Hong of Liu Bei.
"Don't talk about this yet, Xuande, I just said it, I'm here to be a lobbyist." Liu Feng turned the conversation back to business.
"For the sake of the director?" Liu Bei understood.
"Of course, otherwise what else?" Liu Feng said, "I don't know what Xuande thinks of today's alliance? ”
"Zang Ziyuan has no soldiers and no power, and it is not enough to serve the public, and when everyone gathers, I am afraid that he will not be able to be the leader of this alliance." Liu Bei had already met all the princes before.
"Yes, so after the princes of the alliance arrive, they will inevitably re-elect the leader of the alliance, and then it will be possible to go west to beg for thieves." Liu Feng said, "I don't know if Xuande has a candidate in his heart?" ”
"Then Zhiyuan is interested?" Liu Bei asked.
"Xuande, I'm talking to you seriously, please don't joke about this." Liu Feng said.
"It's me who lost my words, and I apologize." Liu Bei said, "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time along the way, and I have also discussed it with Gongsun Boju, and among the people who participate in the alliance, there are only a few who are qualified." Liu Gongshan, the patriarch of the Han family, Han Fu, the highest authority of Jizhou, and the initiator Qiao Yuanwei, as well as Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, but they have not yet reached a conclusion. ”
"With Gongsun Bojue's martial strategy, it is enough to serve as the leader of the alliance, but it is a pity that his prestige is outside the Saiwai and has no foundation in the Central Plains." Liu Feng said, "Among the people you mentioned, Qiao Yuanwei can be ruled out first, he is Yuan Chu's person; Han Wenjie is strong, but he is a disciple of the Yuan family, and he will not compete with the Yuan family brothers; Liu Gongshan is also a talented assassin, and his strength is insufficient; In the end, only the Yuan brothers competed for the position of the leader of this alliance. ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Bei asked.
"I'm here to be a lobbyist for Yuan Benchu." Liu Feng said.
"Why? Do you think I'll agree? Is this a matter of life and death? Liu Bei's face was ugly.
As a hero, no matter how good the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Feng is, once there is an entanglement of interests, Liu Bei will turn his face. Lu Xun's comment that Liu Bei was "loyal and close to hypocrisy" is not nonsense.
For example, the general trend is already obvious today, no matter whether the court succeeds or not, the Han family is doomed, and the capable princes have their own careful thoughts and will no longer be foolish and loyal to the Han family. Yuan Shao is like this, and Liu Bei is the same, but they are neighbors, how could Liu Bei be willing to give Yuan Shao the matter of improving his prestige in vain.
"Yes, this is a matter of life and death. But on the other hand, this is Yuan Shao's opportunity, but it's not a crisis! Haven't you thought that Yuan Shao will lose something while gaining something? Liu Feng asked.
"I want to hear about it!" Liu Bei's face softened a little.
"First of all, Yuan Shao has the basis to become the leader of the alliance, as far as I know, he has now won over nearly half of the princes, plus some people who are optimistic about him, it is useless for others to oppose him, and he is still innocent." Liu Feng began to analyze.
"Secondly, only when Yuan Shao becomes the leader of the alliance, can everyone be convinced, and it is possible to jointly send troops to fight the thieves. Otherwise, he will fall into the embarrassing place of the Prince's Day and be broken by Dong Zhuo. And if you keep arguing over this, when can you really start a war against Dong? If there is no war, there is no merit, how can we get the recognition of others and attract heroes to vote? ”
"Third, Yuan Highway has always looked down on Yuan Benchu, and now he has newly won Nanyang, and his strength has surpassed Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao becomes the leader of the alliance, the two Yuan will inevitably further fight each other, so that we will have a chance. Otherwise, if the Yuan brothers join forces, how can we still have benefits? ”
"In the end, Xuande really thought that this discussion of Dong would be successful? The princes of the first and twenty roads, each with their own thoughts, how could they work together to expel Dong Zhuo! If an alliance is formed and there is no result, it is his responsibility Yuan Shao, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as we contribute to the war, there will be huge gains, so why worry that there are no talents to vote? Do Xuande think these reasons are enough? ”
Liu Feng listed many reasons in one go.
"What happened on Prince's Day?" Liu Bei asked.
"Wang Gongjie is the main crusade against Dong Zhuo, because this side has been delayed for a long time, and he has become an independent army to cross the river to attack Dong, and he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's faction not long ago, but fortunately Wuwei Taishou Ma Shoucheng rescued, and has returned to Huai County, presumably there will be news soon." Liu Feng said, "The news comes from a stranger, if Xuande doesn't believe it, he can confirm it." ”
"That's not necessary, I believe in Brother Zhiyuan. If you say this, you will soon be able to gather the princes who have raised their troops. Liu Bei said.
"Yes, the alliance will start soon." Liu Feng said, "I came to be a lobbyist for Yuan Benchu this time, and how to choose in the end depends on Xuande himself." ”
After a pause, Liu Feng said again: "If Brother Xuande is not in Jizhou, I can be sure that Yuan Benchu will soon dominate the whole state." Now that Xuande is sitting in a county, I don't think Xuande will fail easily, and Yuan Benchu's ability may not be so strong. Besides, Xuande is backed by Youzhou, isn't there still Gongsun Boqi who can be used as foreign aid! With Gongsun Boqi's record, even if Yuan Benchu wanted to attack Hejian, he would not ignore his factors. And now, which prince dares to attack others for no reason, wouldn't he really become a chaotic minister and thief? ”
"Xuande doesn't have to make a decision in such a hurry, there is still time, you can think about it. Today, I won't bother and meet again tomorrow. Liu Feng got up and said goodbye.
……
"I fought against Zhang Junyi, what is his strength?" Walking out of Liu Bei's military camp, Liu Feng asked Zhou Taidao.
"It's almost, it's also the peak of the 6th order, if you win or lose, it will take at least half an hour." Zhou Tai replied, and then asked a little unconvinced, "Lord, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are so strong?" ”
"Of course, I will still lie to you, five or six years ago, it was already the 7th order, and now I am afraid it is even stronger. and Liu Bei, don't look at him as weak, he is also a real 7th-order general. ”
"He's too?" Zhou Tai's eyes were about to fall. It's incredible.
"So, you have to work hard, I'm optimistic about you, you should be more advanced than Gong Yi by the 7th order." Liu Feng said with a smile.
……
In the military tent, the few people who had gone out before had already gathered again, and they heard Liu Bei say Liu Feng's intention.
"What? Support Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance? Big brother, there's nothing wrong with that kid's head, right? We need to guard against Yuan Shao at all times. As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei roared, "If you want me to say, the eldest brother should be the leader of this alliance, and the eldest brother is a relative of the Han family." ”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu are used to Zhang Fei's character, and they don't take it seriously at all, Jian Yong is also used to it, only Zhang He will pull the corners of his mouth from time to time, obviously disagreeing with it.
"Yide, don't talk nonsense. I, a member of the Han family, have not yet been recognized by the Zongzheng Mansion. Liu Bei said, "Let's talk about the alliance, even if I don't want to admit it, but except for Yuan Jiazi, there is really no one who can assume the position of the leader of the alliance." Then, Liu Bei briefly stated the reason. Liu Feng said, of course, he will not give it all.
"Kenhe, what do you think?" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he asked himself the only strategist.
Jian Yong's talent is not in strategy, but in diplomacy. But now Liu Bei is short of people, so he can only make do with it.
"I can't say anything else, it all depends on the lord's meaning. But there is one thing that Liu Huiji is not wrong, that is, we need a lot of meritorious service to improve our prestige and attract talents to vote. Jian Yong said, "The lord is not rich in background, and he has no illustrious family background, if he doesn't fight on the battlefield, how many scholars can he look at?" The exploits of the Yellow Turban period are a thing of the past, and now is the time. ”
"Second brother, what do you think?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu.
"Big brother, even if Yuan Shao becomes the leader of the alliance, if he dares to come to the river, I will let him have no return." Guan Yu stroked his beard and said confidently.
"Junyi, what is your opinion?" Liu Bei asked Zhang He again.
"He is only obedient to the Lord's orders." Zhang He did not express an opinion.
"Okay, let's support Yuan Benchu for the time being, and wait until after the discussion of Dong." Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei's resentful eyes, "You guys guard the camp, and I'll visit Gongsun Boqi in a while." ”
……
In the face of Yuan Shao's inquiry, Liu Feng could only say that he tried his best, and Liu Bei did not give a clear answer. Yuan Shao has not been idle these days, and he has spared no effort to win over people, perhaps because he has attracted enough people, and he doesn't care so much about Liu Bei's attitude.
The first person can calmly lay out, and naturally has more advantages.
……
Two days after Liu Bei's arrival, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian arrived at the same time. After another 10 days or so, Ma Teng and Wang Kuangshan were late.
When the princes gather, it's time to reunite with blood, which also means that the battle for the position of the new alliance leader is about to begin.
Without any delay, the day after Ma Teng arrived, everyone gathered in the Ya of Suozao County to start the second meeting. (To be continued.) )
