Liu Bei is a very methodical and purposeful person in the eyes of many people.

He never does meaningless things, and everything he does is very purposeful, so there must be some purpose for making such a big move now.

The potential enemy was very nervous, and it was not easy for his own people, because his own people found out that they didn't know what Liu Bei's purpose was.

So Cao Cao, who had the closest relationship with Liu Bei, was the first to find Liu Bei and wanted to ask Liu Bei about the purpose of doing this.

Who are you dealing with?

Or is there any political struggle to be raised?

When Cao Cao found Liu Bei, Liu Bei was in the large courtyard watching the stonemasons working hard to carve words.

"Huh? No, I just want to make a backup of these books and engrave them on the stele for preservation, so that even if the original copy is lost, the words engraved on the stele will not be easily damaged, and the difficulty of passing them on to future generations will be reduced.

You see, these stones are all good stones, I have people polish them carefully, and I plan to choose a good storage place to bury them deep in the ground, leaving them for future generations to excavate, so that future generations can also know what we are thinking at this time. ”

"Huh?"

Now Cao Cao couldn't understand it.

"Xuande, why are you doing this?"

"In order for these things that we can see, future generations can also see them."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "When Yuan Highway died, I was thinking, no matter how prominent the family is, it will be passed down from inheritance to inheritance, it is inevitable that there will be no descendants like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and it will inevitably perish.

How glorious it used to be, how miserable it was when it was destroyed, it was quite boring, so I gave up inheriting the family, and I thought that instead of inheriting the family, it would be better to pass on all the civilization and wisdom of the whole country, so I planned to engrave all these books on the stone tablet and hide them.

In this way, even if these bamboo slips in our hands are decayed, burned by fire, and destroyed, then there are hidden stone inscriptions that can prove their existence, and the books will be passed on, and the civilization will be passed on, and the descendants of thousands of years later will also know the marks left by our predecessors.

Mengde, think about it, these things that I have carved now can be seen by future generations in one or two thousand years, no matter what kind of disasters occur during this period, even if all the books are burned, future generations in one or two thousand years will be able to see them, and our civilization will be passed on.

Whether a family is prosperous or not is an irrelevant matter, civilization has been passed on, so no matter how the world changes, Huaxia is still Huaxia, isn't this much better than deliberately inheriting a family? ”

Liu Bei smiled and patted the stele, and Cao Cao couldn't get it.

"Xuande, this ......"

"Don't understand?"

"It's not that I can't understand it, it's just that ...... Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Liu's family, don't you want to inherit? ”

"No matter how much effort I put into it, as long as there is a generation of unworthy descendants, this family will be considered useless."

Liu Bei smiled: "What's the point of passing on a group of insects that are not even as good as Yuan Shao's Yuan Shu?" What's the point of heirlooms? Isn't it more interesting to pass on civilization to everyone and everyone? ”

"Spreading the ...... of Civilization"

Cao Cao scratched his head, thinking about it, feeling that he couldn't quite understand Liu Bei's thoughts.

He only felt that what Liu Bei thought was very powerful and reasonable, but if he was asked to do it, he would obviously not do it.

The inheritance of civilization is too old for him to think about now, and with his position, there is no need to think about such a thing.

It's okay to have Liu Bei think about it.

But in this way, Liu Bei didn't have any political significance in doing this, just doing this thing for the sake of doing it?

"It's really rare, Xuande would actually do this kind of thing, I thought everything Xuande did was very meaningful."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The outside world is bustling, everyone is speculating about what important purpose you have in doing this, who you want to deal with, or what situation to change, especially those people in the modern literary school, they are very scared, but I didn't expect that it was not ......like this at all."

"It seems a little strange that the outside world thinks of me."

Liu Bei stroked the stone tablet on the ground and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, what I do is indeed purposeful, but occasionally, I also want to do something that doesn't seem to make much sense to me now, but for these people, they may not understand me." ”

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.

After all, this incident did not cause any waves, whether it was Liu Bei's ally or a potential enemy, no matter how they guessed, Liu Bei did not launch any political action that they expected.

And when the time entered the end of October, Liu Bei was ready to clean up Yuan Shao with the whole army, hoping to clean up Yuan Shao before the end of the sixth year of Zhongping, so that this farce would come to an end, and next year, usher in a new situation.

However, Liu Bei didn't expect that this battle was not started by himself first.

After Liu Bei caused Yuan Shao to fall into the situation of being besieged from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou on three sides, he did not stop his diplomatic offensive.

He sent Cao Cao as a lobbyist to convey the imperial court orders and persuade the Qiao Maotun soldiers, who were then the assassins of Yanzhou, to deter Yuan Shao together in Dongwuyang.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was still young, and among the high-ranking officials in Luoyang, only Qiao Xuan was friendly to Cao Cao and gave Cao Cao a lot of care, so Cao Cao has always been obsessed with Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Mao was a member of Qiao Xuan's clan, so Liu Bei asked Cao Cao to make a cameo appearance as a herald messenger, and went to Yanzhou with the imperial court's holy decree to persuade Qiao Mao to send troops to threaten Yuan Shao and act with the imperial court.

Qiao Mao didn't hesitate too much.

To say that before Yuan Shu's fall, he had some ideas, but after Yuan Shu attacked and killed the clan, he didn't have such thoughts at all, and then when Chen Liujun and Liang Guo were ordered by the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu, Qiao Mao didn't do anything to hinder him.

This time, in order to deal with Yuan Shao, the imperial court needed to use the power of Yanzhou, which made Qiao Mao, who wanted to establish a relationship with the new imperial court but had no way, very happy, so he entertained Cao Cao, talked and laughed with him, and finalized the matter of using troops against Yuan Shao.

At the same time, Cao Cao was also ordered by Liu Bei to go to Taishan County to meet Bao Xin, who had returned to seclusion, and persuaded Bao Xin to re-emerge.

Bao Xin felt a little frightened about He Jin's killing, and when he met Cao Cao, he showed a worried mood.

Cao Cao just laughed at this.

"You left He Jin before He Jin rebelled, did not continue to hold his position, and returned to the mountains and rivers, even if He Jin rebelled, what does it have to do with you? Your clansman Bao Hong made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of He Jin and Yuan Kui.

He recommended and promoted you to the general, hoping that the general would not hold you responsible, the general has already approved, so he will send me to serve as an envoy to invite you to the office, don't you feel the sincerity of the general? ”

Bao Xin was very pleased with Cao Cao's exhortation, and he was not hypocritical, and directly accepted the appointment.

"The general is elegant and elegant, and can tolerate and appoint a sinner like me, so what can I refuse? I would like to serve the General! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he announced on the spot that Bao Xin was appointed as the Taishou of Dongjun, and asked Bao Xin to prepare for war in Dongjun, and together with Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiaomao, he was always ready to deal with Yuan Shao.

In mid-to-late October, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiao Mao and Dongjun Taishou Bao Xin stationed troops in Dongwuyang County, Dongjun County, to prepare for war, and made a posture to the north to deter Yuan Shao.

At this point, the encirclement of Jizhou was formed, because of Yuan's rebellion and perverse behavior, coupled with Liu Bei's successful extermination of Yuan Shu's record, no one in the world believed that Yuan Shao still had a future.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the fall of the Yuan clan is already a sure thing, the people who followed the Yuan clan before will be cleansed, and those who did not follow the Yuan clan before are secretly glad that they were not carried away by the words of the Yuan clan.

Now obeying the words of the Luoyang court is no longer a bet, betting, but a normal behavior, after the crusade against Yuan Shu, the authority of the Luoyang court has been basically established, and now dealing with Yuan Shao is a strengthened bureau.

Under the premise of such a siege from all sides, Yuan Shao's anxiety can be imagined, and those guys who have gained huge benefits from cleaning the eunuch industry with him are also quite anxious.

Making money for a while, liquidating the crematorium, this feeling they can understand now, but it is impossible to change the situation.

It is impossible for the Luoyang court to forgive them, although the anti-eunuchs are politically correct, but the political correctness is no more than 100,000 elite Central Han troops.

And what's even worse is that the news that Yuan Shu was defeated and Runan was liquidated also spread to Jizhou, and now the situation of the Yuan brothers echoing each other in the south and north is gone.

Yuan's nest was destroyed, the roots were cut off, Yuan Shu was divided by five horses in Luoyang, and the family was ordered to be beheaded by the emperor of Luoyang to comfort the spirit of the first emperor and the king of the second sect in the sky, Yuan Shao was completely alone.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, without help, fighting alone.

In such a situation, Yuan Shao seems to have fallen into a dead end, but when it comes to life and death, people can always burst out with the last strength to survive, of course Yuan Shao will not wait for Liu Bei to give him the noose of the five horses to divide the corpse, so he has to struggle.

It's not just his fellows who make eunuch money with him who are also struggling, all kinds of ideas and all kinds of fights, just to be able to gain allies to stir up the situation in the world.

Tian Feng, an important strategist, designed for him to give up looking for allies internally and look for allies externally.

Internally, you need to care a little about the reputation of the people of the world, and you have more eyes in your heart, and externally you are more inclined to practical interests, as long as you give enough money, they are your allies.

For example, the Xianbei people, such as the Huns, they can all become Yuan Shao's helpers for the turnaround, and only they can become Yuan Shao's helpers for the turnaround.
