While he asked Yan Wen to lobby Liu Biao, he also made arrangements for He Jin's general Peng Bao Xin and wrote a letter to Bao Xin.

Bao Xin is one of the captains of the West Park Military Academy Bao Hong's kindred, Liu Bei and Bao Hong once fought side by side, there is a little friendship, this time through Bao Hong as an intermediary, ask Bao Hong to lobby Bao Xin.

When Bao Xin received Liu Bei's letter, it was the time when he received He Jin's order to return to his hometown to recruit troops.

He looked at Liu Bei's letter, and then at Bao Hong, his face was cloudy.

"The general has just appointed me as a cavalry captain, and I am ready to return to my hometown to recruit troops to Luoyang to strengthen my troops, but now you want me to follow Liu Xuande's advice and deviate from the general, how can I do such a thing?"

"That's what I said, but am I going to watch you die?"

Bao Hong shook his head and said: "We came to Luoyang to work hard for the glory of the family, but now we are forced to oppose each other, this is not something I want to see, and this time, it is the Son of Heaven who decided to do something to He Jin!"

The name is right, the teacher is famous, how can you continue to follow He Jin, you are helping to abuse, even if you die, you will not have a reputation for loyalty, I don't want you to do such a thing. ”

Bao Xin lowered his head and did not speak, and only spoke for a while.

"The general is also kind to me, and his kindness to me is very heavy, as a subordinate of the general, I should be loyal to the general, how can I turn my back on the general?"

"Between the general's kindness and the order of the Son of Heaven, do you want to choose the general and turn your back on the Son of Heaven? It is true that you are a subordinate of the Great General, but all of us are subjects of the Son of Heaven. ”

Bao Hong said slowly: "Even if the general himself is also a minister of the Son of Heaven, before the Son of Heaven ordered the general to dismiss the army, the general did not obey the order, this is already a blatant rebellion against the order of the Son of Heaven!"

At best, it is disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, and at worst, it is rebellion and rebellion, and the general himself has such an act and cannot play a good leading role, can he expect his subordinates not to turn away from him? ”

Bao Xin's face was hesitant.

"You can't say that, general...... There must be a bitter ......"

Bao Hong shook his head again and again.

"That day also has a hard time, you are Han Chen, not He Shichen, even if the general summons you, how can you stick to such a major issue of right and wrong? If the general rebels, do you also have to follow the general to betray the Son of Heaven? ”

Bao Xin was speechless about this.

For a long time, Bao Xin looked at Bao Hong very hesitantly.

"The general trusts me and entrusts me with an important mission, if I turn my back, what face will I have to live?"

Bao Hong thought for a moment.

"Then resign from the official, repay the general's kindness to you as an official, and give up your official position to return to your hometown to live in seclusion, so it is not a betrayal."

Bao Xin looked struggling, thought about it, and suddenly spoke again.

"Could it be that the general will definitely lose?"

"You think so, won't the general lose?"

Bao Hong shook his head again and again and said: "And you haven't seen the proud soldiers under Liu Xuande's command, the majesty of Liu Xuande's army, I was fortunate to see it once, after I went back, the two forces of war, I have palpitations, if I am allowed to lead the Xiyuan Army and Liu Xuande's army to fight, I can't last a pillar of incense." ”

Bao Xin knew that Bao Hong had a military strategy and a lot of actual combat experience, and he was not a mediocre talent, so he was shocked.

"Liu Xuande's army is so strong?"

"His army has three meals a day, and there is never a shortage of salaries, orders and prohibitions, orderly, and strict military regulations, which is the only one I have seen in my life!"

Bao Hong sighed: "Why did Liu Xuande only take two years to stabilize Liangzhou? In addition to his political strategy, the main reason is that his army is rampant, otherwise how can he continuously defeat the invasion of the Xianbei and Qiang people and still fight a counterattack? ”

Bao Xin was dumbfounded.

"How can that?"

"That's right!"

Bao Hong nodded and said: "If it is really the time to see the real chapter at the end, whether it is the general or the Yuan family, it will not be Liu Xuande's opponent, I know this matter deeply, so I can't watch you die, you must not make a wrong choice, otherwise I can't save you!" ”

So Bao Xin stopped talking.

In the end, Bao Xin made a decision to resign and return to his hometown to live in seclusion, and never asked about the world.

So the blasting against Bao Xin was also successful.

In March of the sixth year of Zhongping, the master-apprentice alliance and the insect alliance faced each other in Luoyang, and Liu Bei attacked with all his might, first starting to weaken the wings of He Jin and Yuan Kui before the head-to-head duel, and launched an internal blast against them to weaken their strength to the greatest extent.

At the same time, the insects are also trying to target Liu Bei.

It's just that their means against Liu Bei are relatively limited.

Because the team brought by Liu Bei was all cultivated by Liu Bei himself, he formed an alliance of interests with Liu Bei a long time ago, and the relationship was relatively stable and iron.

And if you look at it from two general directions, one part is the people of Liangzhou, and the other part is people from other states.

Don't talk about the people of Liangzhou, that is Liu Bei's die-hard loyalty, and most of the people in the rest of the states followed Liu Bei earlier than the people of Liangzhou, and their loyalty is relatively high.

Not to mention the several major family forces that were tied to death through in-law relations.

Liu Bei can find a lot of breakthroughs from those people around them, or they know each other, or they know acquaintances who can say things on their behalf, and there are many ways to always find a point of contact.

On the other hand, the core under Liu Bei's command is either the one he cultivated himself and climbed up from the bottom, or the people of Liangzhou.

For these people, Yuan Kui and He Jin couldn't find a breakthrough point.

Because these people have never been in their eyes, they have never had these low-level people in their eyes, they don't care, they never thought that these people could become Liu Bei's powerful helpers.

So how to rebel?

Holding gold and silver to the door to rebel?

As for the few members of the Gaomen clan under Liu Bei's command, such as Xun You, there is no way to rebel, because the Xun clan has openly stood with Lu Zhi and joined the master-apprentice alliance, and the Yuan clan has never dealt with it very much, and it can't find a breakthrough.

As for those Yizhou people, He Jin and Yuan can find some relationships, but these Yizhou people are not even Liu Bei's official subordinates, and they haven't even arrived in Luoyang, even if they can arrive in Luoyang to join Liu Bei's command, they can't take on a high position at the beginning.

It is impossible to affect the stability of Liu Bei's group.

Even the Cao family and the Zhen family, who are most likely to be pried into the corner, have been further bound by Liu Bei by marriage, and when Yuan Kui wanted to lobby the Cao family for the last time, the people sent were driven out of the Cao family.

It was also operated by Cao Cao, who returned to Luoyang on the grounds of family leave.

The person who was kicked out was called Xu You, and he had an old relationship with Cao Cao.

Xu You tried to persuade Cao Cao to return to Yuan's warm family, but Cao Cao sneered and asked Xu You three questions.

First, can Yuan Kui accept his son Cao Ang as a disciple.

Second, whether Yuan Ji can marry his sister as a concubine.

Third, can the Yuan family share a little bit of the economic interests they hold?

Xu Yu couldn't answer any of these three questions.

And Xu You really thinks that Cao Cao is really delusional.

Who are you?

What is Yuan's identity?

What Yuan gives you is yours, Yuan doesn't give it, how dare you rob it?

In this regard, Cao Cao's reply is also very clear.

"What Yuan can give me, Liu can give me, Yuan can't give me, Liu can also give it to me, Ziyuan, you say, if you were me, how would you choose?"

Cao Cao sneered and looked at Xu You.

Xu You was stunned, and then with a hint of jealousy that he couldn't even understand, he said some sour words, such as what Liu Bei will definitely be defeated by the Yuan family, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes has a deep heritage, and it is definitely not something that Liu Bei can shake.

In this regard, Cao Cao laughed even more.

"Four hundred years of the Liu family, four hundred years ago, what was the ancestor of the Yuan family doing? Heritage? Heritage, you say? Can be passed down to this day, who doesn't have a little heritage? Why is his Yuan family noble, and my Cao family is down? Bah! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao didn't give Xu You a chance to continue to be stubborn, and directly drove Xu You out of the house, ending the "friendship" with Xu You by the way.

The boat of friendship between him and Xu Yu capsized.
