Chen Gong read Liu Bei's letter, and listened to Zhang Miao's relays of Cao Cao's meaning, and after a little thought, he suggested that Zhang Miao do what Liu Bei said, take refuge in Liu Bei, and abandon Yuan and He.

Zhang Miao was puzzled by this.

"Gongtai, why are you so sure? Doesn't this kind of thing need to be seriously considered? The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are deep-rooted, and He Jin is the uncle of the prince, and they are connected by blood, so add up, is it possible that Liu Xuande can easily contend with it? ”

"It's okay to think about it, but it's not necessary to be serious, because this is bound to be a never-ending situation."

Chen Gong said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven wants to weaken the He clan and cannot tolerate the existence of a strong general, and the He clan is unwilling to give up the power in his hands, let alone accept the possibility of not being able to take charge of the government in the future."

Since ancient times, when such a thing has happened, blood will inevitably be shed, and once blood is shed, it is the military that determines the victory or defeat, so we should consider this matter from a military point of view.

In today's Han world, who can rank first in terms of military affairs, army, military exploits, and prestige? Is the general He Jin ranked first, or the hussar general Liu Bei ranked first? He Jin and Liu Bei are at war, is He Jin more likely to win, or is Liu Bei more likely to win? ”

Zhang Miao thought for a moment.

"If you want to talk about the military, it must be Liu Bei's chances of winning."

"Therefore, there will be no mistake in choosing Liu Bei."

"Gongtai, are you so sure that Luoyang will fight?"

"There will definitely be a fight, maybe it's not an ordinary small fight, it's likely to be a big fight, and the fight will be very intense."

Chen Gong nodded and said, "But the one who wins in the end must be Liu Bei!" Political disputes seem to be intrigues between two groups of people in a city, but in the final analysis, many times it depends on the military, and if you can't win militarily, it's useless to say anything. ”

Zhang Miao stood up, walked around the room for a while, and stared at Chen Gong for a while.

Chen Gong just drank the water calmly.

So Zhang Miao sat back in his seat.

"Once this decision is made, there is no turning back, whether the future is glorious and wealthy, or fleeing like a lost dog, but it all depends on today's decision."

"So once the dust settles, Meng Zhuo can get the most benefits."

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Didn't Meng Zhuo always want to develop in Luoyang? If this is the case, please don't forget today's suggestion, I also want to go to Luoyang for a long time. ”

Zhang Miao frowned and thought about it for a while, smiling bitterly.

"Gongtai! Let's get through this pass first, if Liu Bei is defeated, we will all be ready to flee for our lives! Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande! Don't let me down! ”

Subsequently, Zhang Miao made a decision to inform Cao Cao that he had decided to recall Chen Liujun's soldiers, cut off contact with He Jin, and by the way, also cut off contact with Yuan, and bet on Liu Bei in full.

Cao Cao completed his mission, was overjoyed, celebrated with Zhang Miao for two days, and set off to return to Luoyang to return to Liu Bei.

The same thing happened to Liu Hong, the commander of Shanyang County.

Because they are also relatives of the Han family, under the persuasion of Liu Biao, a native of Shanyang County, Liu Hong sent troops to assist He Jin and oppose the matter of "abolishing the elder and establishing the young".

In response to this, Liu Bei went out to find Cai Yong, who had an old relationship with Liu Hong, and asked Cai Yong to write a letter to increase some lobbying chips for himself.

Cai Yong is very willing to do this, he himself supports Lu Zhi, and there is nothing wrong with helping Liu Bei.

After getting Cai Yong's letter, Liu Bei asked Gai Xun to bring his letter and Cai Yong's letter to lobby Liu Hong.

When Liu Hong was an official, he was taken care of and supported by Cai Yong many times, and he was grateful to Cai Yong.

Gai Xun showed Liu Bei's letter to Liu Hong, and Liu Hong read Liu Bei's letter, and agreed with what Liu Bei said, "The clan relatives of the Han family should be together to keep warm, jointly protect the power of the Liu family, and not let people with foreign surnames occupy the magpie's nest".

But he felt that the matter was up for debate.

"Since the Son of Heaven doesn't have the idea of abolishing the elder and the young, why does he target the He family? The He family is the mother family of the prince's debate, and will definitely fully support the prince's debate, what is the difference between suppressing the He family now and weakening the foundation of the prince's debate? I couldn't figure this out. ”

Gai Xun smiled and shook his head.

"Liu Fujun, have you forgotten what the situation was when the son first ascended the throne today? Is there any difference between Dou Wu, the great general of the year, and He Jin, the great general of today? ”

Liu Hong thought about it and seemed to realize something.

"You mean that the Son of Heaven wants to do what Emperor Xiaowu did to Mrs. Gouyi?"

"The actions of the Son of Heaven, we, as courtiers, cannot speculate on ourselves."

Gai Xun said in a low voice: "So, why did the prince of the palace listen to He Jin's words and send county soldiers to fight against the Son of Heaven?" After all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and your behavior will be considered loyal by those who know, and those who don't know will discuss it in private, isn't this an unwise choice? ”

Liu Hong felt a pang in his heart and felt that what Gai Xun said was very reasonable.

If Liu Hong didn't intend to abolish Chang Liyou, it would be very problematic for him to do so, and if the He family was destined to be liquidated, it was difficult to say whether he would be implicated in the future if he helped the He family like this.

After thinking about it, Liu Hong felt that he had done something wrong, so while writing a letter to complain about Liu Biao, he decided to recall the county soldiers of Shanyang County, and also gave Gai Xun some gifts, asking Gai Xun to say hello to Liu Bei and Cai Yong on his behalf.

This means that it is basically a gesture of favor to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei almost wrote a letter to He Jin's previous vote of assassination and Taishou, and sent lobbyists to state the interests and disadvantages to everyone, so that everyone could consider more and stand on the position of the Son of Heaven, not He Jin.

Even the people in General He Jin's mansion were sent lobbyists by Liu Bei in a letter, and they came to a central blast with reason.

The first person to be blasted by Liu Bei was Liu Biao.

Previously, why did Liu Biao run around, matchmaking, and did a lot of favors, and He Jin valued Liu Biao very much for this.

However, before he could give him a reward, Liu Bei came, He Jin was busy dealing with the impact of Liu Bei's entry into Luoyang, and did not fulfill his promise to reward Liu Biao in time, Liu Biao had a lot of opinions on this.

So Liu Bei sent Yan Wen as his representative to meet Liu Biao and lobby Liu Biao.

Yan Wen got straight to the point and thought that Liu Biao should not stand on He Jin's side.

Although there are many relatives in the Han family, everyone's position does not have to be the same, but on the issue of right and wrong, shouldn't Liu Biao stand on the side of the Han family?

The Son of Heaven does not intend to abolish the elder and the young, just to weaken He Jin's power and ensure the power of the Liu family, in this case, why should your surname Liu stand on the side of the He family?

It seems to be a very effective act for the He clan to run and recruit troops, but once the He clan loses power, the Son of Heaven will pursue it, and no one will run for you, I am privately worried about your future future.

So, you should have made the right choice, didn't you?

Liu Biao listened to Yan Wen's words, and his heart beat a drum.

If you really want to say that he has any loyalty to He Jin, it won't be enough.

It's just that after the party's policy was basically lifted, the first person to send him an olive branch was He Jin, considering the relationship between He Jin and the eunuch at that time, Liu Biao felt that it was safer to do so, so he took refuge in He Jin.

He helped He Jin with his errands, and He Jin provided him with shelter and advancement, and they cooperated with each other very well and took what they needed, and there were not many other reasons.

If you really want him to help He Jin die, he is absolutely unwilling.

He Jin's subordinates did not take him as the main mastermind, He Jin had many other subordinates, Liu Biao was just one of them, and he couldn't fight hard.

"You don't have an inseparable relationship with He Jin, and He Jin is not the one who saved you from the sea of suffering, and it was the ancient literature school of the year that prompted Your Majesty to lift the party's shackles, and Liu Huqi had a very high status in the ancient literature school back then, and that incident also had a lot to do with Liu Huqi, speaking of which, isn't this Liu Huqi's efforts? What does it have to do with He Jin? ”

Yan Wen's words were imprinted in Liu Biao's heart word by word, which made Liu Biao quite concerned.

But Liu Biao did not make a statement at that time, but needed some time to react.

After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't make up his mind, so he found his friend in General He Jin's mansion, Kuai Yue, a native of Jingzhou, and asked him about this matter.
