Liu Bei was a little interested in this old enemy in history, so after Sun Quan and others were arrested in Luoyang, he took a look and saw the young Sun Quan with a gray face.

He was a little disappointed, feeling that this was not the Sun 100,000 who had not yet sat down in the southeast war, but like a defeated little rooster.

But it is inevitable that at this time period, Sun Shiwan is just a teenager.

According to Lu Kang's description of this matter, Liu Bei learned that the matter of arresting the remnants of the Sun family was not so easy to do.

Because the Sun family was sheltered by a local wealthy family, he helped hide his traces and evade Lu Kang's pursuit, and after Lu Kang's arrest warrant was issued, the Zhou family, a wealthy family in Lujiang County, used a lot of connections to fight against it.

Lu Kang sued Zhou fiercely.

Zhou's son Zhou Yu has a relationship with the traitor Sun Ce, so he advocates protecting Sun's remnants, Lu Kang has sent people to hunt down Sun's remnants many times, but Zhou has learned the news in advance and informed Sun to escape quickly, and the angry Lu Kang don't want it.

In the end, Lu Kang found the inner ghost who reported the news and arrested the inner ghost, so that the Sun family was found and all of them were caught, and then sent to Luoyang, for which Lu Kang also took the risk of the Zhou family's strong dissatisfaction with him.

Because of this credit, Liu Bei recommended Lu Kang to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou, which can be regarded as a reward for his dedication to his efforts.

At the same time, he noted the Lujiang Zhou clan's non-cooperation in this matter, and then launched a retaliation.

He will never allow anyone to oppose him politically, even if it is only a subtle non-cooperation.

Guanglu doctor Zhou Zhong was included in the performance by him, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, issued an order to dismiss him.

In addition to Zhou Zhong, Liu Bei also dismissed other members of the Zhou family who held official positions, deprived him of all his filial piety status, and the family was exempted from being concubines and rushed back to his hometown.

In the end, Liu Bei also forced them to pay sky-high fines to atone for their crimes, otherwise they would further question the Zhou family and chase them fiercely.

He doesn't care if someone in the Zhou family has ever been a lieutenant, whether there is a lot of power, or whether someone intercedes.

It is true that there are former officials of the Zhou family who intercede for the Zhou family and persuade Liu Bei that the Zhou family has a lot of power in the south and has great prestige, and the family has also produced several high-ranking officials, so they should give some face.

But Liu Bei ignored them at all, hindering the imperial court from exterminating the remnants of the traitors, and on this one, not beating the Zhou family into a gang of rebels and punishing them was already a face-saving for Zhou Rong and Zhou Jing!

As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, and now that people have been dead for so long, what face do you need?

Liu Bei ignored these persuasions, carried out a strong deterrent to the Zhou family, and finally forced the Zhou family to hand over a fine of 200 million yuan, which could be regarded as barely passing.

Be merciless to those who disobey him, and reward the people who support him, with clear rewards and punishments, this is Liu Bei's way of doing things.

So Liu Bei's prestige became even stronger.

After this reward, Liu Bei's request is not over.

In response to what happened in several counties in the Central Plains that responded to Yuan's call, Liu Bei demanded that a document against thieves be issued in the name of the imperial court, and he would send the imperial army to crusade against the governors and servants of these counties and destroy them all.

If the protégés and families of the Yuan family in various places want to survive, they must be strictly investigated by the imperial court, and if the investigation is passed, it is determined that it has nothing to do with the rebellion of the Yuan family, and they can be let go, but if there is a little contact, it will not be tolerated!

Liu Bei's request has been very clear, that is, to launch a round of comprehensive liquidation of the Yuan Group, as for whether these people can really survive, no one dares to guarantee.

But when this matter was announced as "quasi" by Liu Xie, the little genius, in a childish voice, no one in the court raised objections.

Neither the Neutral nor the Modern Literary School raised objections.

Because they have found that Liu Bei has not gotten anything practical this time, whether it is an official position or a knighthood, there is no substantial promotion.

Of course, it was also difficult for him to get an actual boost.

But don't really say it, the people around him are counted as one, and all those who contributed to the war have become heroes, and they are all "rewarded for meritorious service".

Those who are promoted, those who are rewarded with knighthoods, those who increase their food, and even a group of people who do logistics work directly do the Duting Marquis, which is called a rain and dew that no one will fall.

Using the reward of the imperial court as his Liu Bei's own favor is more cost-effective than how many rewards he has received.

No one will think that this matter should be started by Liu Bei, it is Liu Bei who is atonement for the crime, everyone will only think that Liu Bei has given all his credit to the big guys, so that the big guys can soar, and he will be the unknown person behind the scenes.

Then you can't be moved to death?

That's not all, Liu Bei has already made a clear political statement, he wants to liquidate everyone in the Yuan group, and it's hard to say how many political resources can be vacant after that.

But it is absolutely possible to make the people who follow Liu Bei and contribute to Liu Bei's achievements once again full of oil and happiness.

The degree of internal harmony and the huge power of Liu Bei Group have once again been greatly developed.

Dong Zhong felt that he had penetrated the mystery here.

Huan Dian also felt that he had penetrated the mystery here.

This is a pre-war mobilization, using the rewards of the imperial court to do pre-war mobilization, so that all those who stand on Liu Bei's side will get some rewards, stimulate morale, unite people's hearts, and then ......

Launch a general attack on the modern literary school!

Then there was another wave of post-event spoils.

Liu Bei Group eats a mouth full of oil, fat and strong, and now the literary school will become an excellent nutrient for the development and growth of Liu Bei Group!

What a murderous move!

Huan Dian was jealous of this in his heart, and despair was further enveloped in his heart.

He knew that if he didn't do something, after Liu Bei completed this wave of integration work, he would inevitably personally command an all-out attack on the Jinwen School, and at that time, with Liu Bei's ability to do things, the Jinwen School would not have the slightest ability to fight back.

The end of the modern literary school is imminent.

Huan Dian turned his head to look at Zhang Xi, who was standing not far away, and found that Zhang Xi was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and looked away in tacit understanding.

The pomp and circumstance in the court continued, many people were given the title, many people got what they deserved, and the prestige of the general Liu Bei was unmatched for a while.

After the end of the day's reward, Liu Bei received thanks from many officials in the process of leaving the palace, and they stepped forward to express their gratitude to Liu Bei, even some elder officials also expressed their gratitude, and did not stick to their seniority.

For example, Cai Yong and Fu Qian came to express their gratitude to Liu Bei, but they were also a little worried, worried that they would not be able to do the position of county guard, and Liu Bei encouraged them to let them go and accumulate experience.

If you want to be promoted to a high position in Jiuqing, you don't have the experience of sending out the county guard or assassinating the history, and you are not from a high-ranking family, so you can't convince the public.

This is very interesting, Cai Yong and Fu Qian seemed to hear something different, and they were even more excited.

A large group of people surrounded Liu Bei to express their gratitude, Liu Bei finally coped with them, took a breath, turned his head, and saw Lu Zhi standing behind him with a smile.

"Teacher."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The disciple did not live up to the teacher's teachings, and finally rescued Jizhou and Youzhou." ”

"You've done a better job than I am."

Lu Zhi stepped forward and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "In terms of the ability to use soldiers, Xuande, you have done a better job than me, I dare not say that I can do what you can do with my troops in person, at least I will definitely not take advantage of the Northern Expedition, but I have done it."

This Northern Expedition, heavy damage to the Xianbei headquarters, within a few years, Xianbei people will not dare to go south, Youzhou and state, can be stabilized, this is for the local people, the significance is too great, Xuande, your work in a war, can make tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people survive, great merit. ”

"The disciple just did what he had to do."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Fighting for the country, fighting for the country, and protecting the peace of the frontier are what disciples should do." ”

"And what's next?"

Lu Zhiyi pointed out: "Next, what do you want to do?" ”

The teacher asked knowingly.

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Next, of course, I have to do something that my predecessors have not done, the current literary school has used such a despicable strategy against me this time, how can I let them go?" Teacher, if I let them go like this, will you support them? ”

"Of course not."

Lu Zhi sighed: "If you want to mess up, let's mess it up completely, finish it in one breath, and then reorganize the old mountains and rivers, this may be the best choice for the big man, Xuande, let go and do it, the old bones of the teacher, this time will never back down." ”

"That's good!"

Liu Bei smiled and nodded.

After leaving the palace, Liu Bei went home to have lunch with his mother, and then asked someone to call Jia Xu and Xun You and ask them to accompany him to a place.

"What? Worship Gongsun Zhan? ”

Jia Xu and Xun You were a little surprised that Liu Bei had time to do this.

They didn't think that Liu Bei had the necessity to worship Gongsun Zhan, and the matter of Gongsun Zhan's chaotic operation that caused Liu Bei to bear many consequences in advance of the Northern Expedition was a very controversial matter within the entire Liu Bei group, even some old people who were more familiar with Gongsun Chan in the past expressed dissatisfaction with Gongsun Zhan's behavior.

For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei scolded Gongsun Zhan, Guan Yu wrote back from afar to scold, and they all thought that Gongsun Zhan was sorry for Liu Bei's trust and trust in him, and now he was beheaded by the imperial court, which is also a matter of course.

What is there to worship as a sinner?

In this regard, Liu Bei was very emotional.

"Although he made a mistake, but he is my old man after all, his corpse, I sent someone to secretly collect it, and then found a small hill in the northeast of Luoyang and erected a tombstone for him, others don't go to worship, but I, the old man, should worship."

Riding on the horse, Liu Bei said slowly: "I met him at the age of fifteen, traveled to Luoyang to apprentice, returned to his hometown at the age of seventeen, he was the county commander of Zhuoxian County, I worked with him for several years, during which I had a very good friendship, although I came to Luoyang later, I did not return to my hometown, but ......"

Liu Bei didn't say anything more, and Jia Xu and Xun You also understood.

Liu Bei is a nostalgic person, they all know this, and he is always easy to fall into nostalgia for the stories of the deceased.

Now that an old man who was not just a passerby in his life was gone, he must have felt nostalgic, so the two stopped saying anything and silently accompanied Liu Bei to Gongsun Zhan's grave.
