At the celebration banquet of the victory of the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei and many generals fought for wine, and defeated a large number of people while he was still standing, which was admired by a large number of generals, and Sun Jian was one of them.

After that, Sun Jian took the initiative to visit Liu Bei several times and presented Liu Bei with good horses, bows, and knives.

Liu Bei knew what Sun Jian meant, so he accepted these weapons and became friends with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's desire to confront Liu Bei is actually very easy to explain, mainly because Zhu Jun, who promoted him and promoted him, gave him guidance.

Zhu Jun is a native of Huiji County, and Sun Jian is a native of Wu County, although they are not from the same county, but the Jiangdong counties are not as different as those between the Central Plains counties, and the Luoyang court regards the Jiangdong counties more as a whole, and Yangzhou is more like a political term than the same concept.

A big river blocked a lot of things, and even Lujiang County and Shouchun County in Jiangbei belonged to Yangzhou together with Jiangdong, but they were also regarded as a part of the Central Plains.

Zhu Jun entered the imperial court as a Jiangdong person, in fact, it is relatively rare, these years, the Jiangdong scholars are often looked down upon by the Central Plains scholars, thinking that they are soil buns, not to mention that Zhu Jun is a Jiangdong Hanmen, it is even more unpopular.

He started his career mainly by military exploits, and he was obviously not a very energetic person in the court dominated by the modern literary school.

This time to pacify the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Zhu Jun was awarded the title of Right General, and was named the Marquis of Qiantang, which seems to have some weight, but like Huangfu Song, there is no way to cultivate personal power without opening a government to govern affairs, and the difference between Lu Zhi who served as the pastor of Jizhou is still quite big.

This is also one of the deep-seated reasons why Zhu Jun felt unhappy when the folk songs were sung before.

Zhu Jun can't control his own destiny, how can he help his little Jiangdong brother Sun Jian get a good position?

Sun Jian joined Zhu Jun's team when Zhu Jun attacked the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, and in order to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, he shed his blood and led the Jiangdong soldiers to fight Wancheng in a bloody battle, and made great contributions.

However, after the war, Sun Jian was rewarded for his meritorious deeds and only got the position of Sima of another department.

This position is very clear, there is no formal establishment, it is an expedient measure taken to appease meritorious personnel, and it is quite similar to the general general of the Qing Dynasty's foreign commission, and there is a feeling that he is his own person of the Central Army of Luoyang, but he is not completely his own person.

Sun Jian felt that he had made great contributions, and risked his life to fight in person, but after the war, he only received such a reward, and he was quite unhappy.

At this time, Zhu Jun, who lacked resources, pointed out a clear path for him.

"Although Liu Xuande is young and has little qualifications, it is precisely because of his youth that he suddenly rose to prominence, and it is the time when someone needs to help him and expand his power, helping him at this time does not require too high a status or too much credit, as long as he is willing, he can.

And he is young and young now, and in another ten years, twenty years, he will be an indispensable and important figure in the court, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Liu's family biography "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", I heard that people who are good friends with him have been promised to become his disciples, for the sake of the family, you should also be close to him, there are not many such good opportunities. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian thanked Zhu Jun for his guidance, so he took the initiative to visit Liu Bei and try to get close to him.

He thought that this road would not be easy, at least he asked to see Liu Bei several times, but he never thought that Liu Bei was very close to him, the first time he came to visit, Liu Bei personally went out to greet him, and was very kind to him, which made him feel flattered.

After he took the initiative to meet twice, he was pulled by Liu Bei to sit beside him and drink together, eat at the same table, sing and dance together, and invited him to participate in various banquets, which brought him to know many people.

For example, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao had a good relationship, Liu Bei took Sun Jian to participate in the banquet held by Yuan Shao, and introduced Sun Jian's achievements in the battle of Wancheng at the banquet.

Sun Jian was praised in the clouds and was very happy.

Later, when Liu Bei was looking for an errand for his subordinates, he took Sun Jian by the hand and gave Sun Jian a position on the side of Chen Qi, an infantry captain, so that Sun Jian could stay in Luoyang justifiably.

Liu Bei only did this considering that Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, might be of some help to his future, but he didn't think of today's step at that time, but he just did it casually, but laid the foundation for today's things.

After the Luoyang folk song was sung throughout the city, Liu Bei realized that this was the modern literary school that started the war, and the horn of the war was sounded.

As a warrior, Liu Bei immediately realized the severity of the situation and felt the thrill of war.

At the high-level meeting, Liu Bei, who represented Lu Zhi at the meeting, did not say anything at first, but when a group of bigwigs discussed and discussed and could not discuss anything, Zheng Xuan asked Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gave his own opinion.

"This is obviously what the modern literary school can do, they want to kill the teacher, make the teacher the target of the public, become persona non grata in the army, and thus shake our position and prestige in the army, they are aiming at our military power, this kind of behavior is very bad.

They tried to isolate the teacher by attacking him, so that we could get into trouble with other officials in the DPRK and China who were good at using troops, and they would be able to take advantage of the situation and make friends with him, so as to achieve a certain kind of unity, and then overwhelm us through military exploits.

The teacher served as the only state pastor in the world, at this time it was the juncture of the world's attention, once there were any bad rumors, the teacher was the first to bear the brunt, and the merits of Jizhou Mu during his tenure were an important basis for the teacher to return to Luoyang as the third duke, and he could not be lost.

Therefore, I suggest that we should take the initiative to attack, not passively deal with it, and should take the initiative to send a message to Huangfu Song or Zhu Jun to convey our intentions, and even if we can't achieve good results, we should let them know that we have no intention of opposing them. ”

This view put forward by Liu Bei has been widely recognized by the school.

Fu Qian, Ma Riyan and Cai Yong and others all agreed with Liu Bei's opinion.

Then they also came to a similar point of view as the modern literary school, that is, Zhu Jun, who was from Jiangdong, was more worthy of wooing than Huangfu Song, who was from Liangzhou.

On the contrary, some people have also proposed that it is necessary to win over Zhu Jun and the Jiangdong martial arts group under his command to have some votes and political resources, but the political resources of the ancient literary school are not as rich as those of the modern literary school, and now they have to take them out and distribute them, how is this good?

For this, Yuan Kui was surprised to see it very openly.

"If the Yang family and Zhu Jun join forces, wouldn't it be the worst situation for me? In case of trouble, we still have to look at the long-term, the temporary benefits and the long-term benefits, you should see it more thoroughly than my old decay, the ancient literature school has finally come to this day, do you want to go back to the past? ”

Yuan Kui's words played a very important role in the whole process of the meeting.

After that, there was the questioning of the leader Zheng Xuan.

As long as Zheng Xuan nodded, everyone could let go and do things.

What can Zheng Xuan think?

All this is not what he is good at, and watching the big guy transform from a scholar to a politician, he is not only sad, but also sad.

Then nodded.

After Zheng Xuan nodded, the Ancient Literature School decided to contact Zhu Jun.

But just as the relationship between the literary school and the people of Liangzhou and the rest of the border warriors is not good, the ancient literary school is not very friendly to pure martial artists, but Lu Zhi, the great Confucian, and Liu Bei, the little Confucian, happen to be able to use soldiers.

For military merits and martial artists, the ancient literature school is indeed not very broad in terms of contacts, mainly relying on Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, as well as through the military relations they have.

So in this matter, they are really more passive.

Especially when Lu Zhi was not there.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xuan habitually looked at Liu Bei.

"Xuande, do you have any good ideas?"

Liu Bei saluted.

"I don't dare to say a good way, but I have a lot of dealings with Sun Jian, a subordinate of Qiantang Hou, maybe I can meet with Qiantang Hou through him and find out Qiantang Hou's tone."

A group of Wendou faction bigwigs are really not as good at these things as Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master and apprentice, and now that Lu Zhi is not there, the only one who can exert his strength is Liu Bei, who is also very good at martial arts.

After Lu Zhi left, although Liu Bei's right to speak in the ancient literature school cannot be compared with Lu Zhi, out of respect for Lu Zhi and respect for Liu Bei's own merits, he spoke, and the leadership would never ignore it.

Zheng Xuan was silent for a moment, and then set his expectant gaze on Liu Bei.

"That Xuande, if Zigan is not here, this matter depends on you a lot."

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Liu Bei said goodbye.
