As soon as Liu Bei heard Liu Jian's name, he was a little embarrassed.

He grabbed another handful of grass from the ground and began to skim it one by one.

"Deran, why did you find me such an opponent? Isn't it okay to change people? ”

Liu Jian looked at him with a smile: "What, brother is embarrassed to beat him?" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "You asked me to fight Cao Cao, I think there are two things that are not suitable." ”

"Hey, that's interesting, it's the first time you've been able to say more than one suggestion in front of me."

"Tell me these two points."

Liu Bei didn't care about Liu Jian's ridicule, as if he hadn't heard it.

He threw aside the grass in his hand, and finally cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"This first point, you also know that the Cao family has an in-law relationship with me, and you said that I went directly to the battlefield to oppose the Cao family, isn't this a bit not good?"

Liu Jian laughed and said: "Brother, brother, what's going on with this pro of yours, you naturally have a number in your heart, are you really embarrassed to fight Cao Cao because of this relative?" ”

"But I expect that Cao Cao will never be soft on you because of this family matter."

"You and the Cao family got married, but we and the Cao family left a final bottom line for each other."

"But if there is a collision of interests, the Cao family will not be soft."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "For my brother, I still need some face." ”

Liu Jian turned his head to look into the distance: "Then you can tell me your second reason." ”

Liu Bei said: "Actually, as you said, it's not a big deal to compete with Cao Cao directly on the battlefield." ”

"Although the Cao family is related to me, I, Liu Bei, am not a person who forgets his public affairs because of selfishness."

"It's just this opponent you picked for me......"

"What's wrong?"

Liu Bei sighed: "It's a little too weak, don't you understand?" ”

When Liu Jian heard this, he didn't take a breath, and he almost didn't get angry.

"Who do you think is too weak?"

Liu Bei said very solemnly: "Naturally, Cao Cao is weak, how can his ability be compared with my Liu Bei?" ”

Liu Jian looked at him in disbelief.

"Brother, on what basis do you conclude that Cao Cao is weak?"

Liu Bei stretched out his hand helplessly: "Is this not clear?" ”

"Although Cao Cao has indeed made some military achievements over the years, after all, he is only Yuan Shao's follower, and I am following you, compared to the two, you are much stronger than Yuan Shao, right?"

"Could it be that the people you brought out are not as good as the people brought out by Yuan Shao?"

Liu Jian touched his head in surprise, thinking to himself.

It seems like...... There's a lot of truth to that.

Although this truth is actually a strong word.

"Brother, if you don't want to fight Cao Cao, then who do you want to fight?"

"In this territory of Luoyang, there are Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Niu Fu, ......."

"Which of them do you think is worthy of being your opponent?"

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "Deran, you have to understand the intention of being a brother, and everything you have to do to aspire to your brother is to assist you in achieving great things." ”

"In your opinion, whoever poses the greatest threat to you, then you can deal with whoever you are a brother."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.

He reached out and patted Liu Bei's shoulder.

"In this world, apart from my parents, the best thing for me is always you, brother."

Liu Bei smiled: "That's natural, being able to share your worries and solve problems is the happiest thing in my life." ”

Liu Jian sighed: "Okay, if my brother really has this thought, he really wants to share my worries and solve problems and carry the burden for me...... Then you can deal with Cao Cao. ”

Seeing Liu Jian's words going around and around, and finally went around to Cao Cao, Liu Bei finally couldn't help but pay more attention to Cao Cao.

After all, Liu Jian's vision of people, Liu Bei still knows.

Since Liu Jian has a high evaluation of Cao Cao's ability, it means that Cao Cao must have his merits, which should not be underestimated.

"It seems that Deran, you are very recognizant of Cao Cao's ability?"

Liu Jian nodded: "If I didn't pay attention to Cao Cao's ability, I wouldn't have specially arranged for you to fight him, brother......"

"Let's put it this way, brother, in the short term, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's generation are indeed a big trouble for us, but in the long run, Cao Cao is indeed a strong enemy for us, whether this person is self-reliant in Jiangdong in the future, or continues to assist Yuan Shao, he is our good opponent!"

"But at present, I still have to deal with Dong Zhuo and Yuan's behemoths, so I can't control Cao Cao for the time being, I need to cultivate someone to help me deal with Cao Cao and become Cao Cao's nemesis!"

"This person must understand himself, understand Cao Cao, he must understand Cao Cao's tactics, and at the same time, he must constantly optimize his tactics for Cao Cao."

"On the battlefield, I can do my best to understand Cao Cao's intentions, and train my army against Cao Cao's army, so that my army can respond to Cao Cao's army's tactics at any time."

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed with emotion.

"Since Deran values Cao Mengde so much, then you should do your best for your brother......"

Liu Jian put away his smile and said, "Brother, I believe in your ability, and I also believe that you will be with me, as long as you accumulate experience and study hard, sooner or later you will definitely become a famous general of our Han Dynasty...... Just don't underestimate others! Especially that Cao Cao. ”

"Brother, in the future, you must not underestimate anyone, treat anyone with a straight eye and a righteous heart."

Liu Bei threw the soil on his body, stood up, and solemnly saluted Liu Jian.

"Deran's words, you must remember, you can rest assured, from now on, I will never underestimate anyone! Especially this Cao Cao! ”

Liu Jian looked at Liu Bei carefully, and saw that his face was solemn and his eyes were firm, and then he put his mind at ease.

As a brother, Liu Jian knows his brother very well.

Although his brother is sometimes very flashy, he has an advantage that others can't match.

That is, he listens to people's persuasion very much and accepts advice with an open mind.

People who can listen to the opinions of others are generally people who can achieve great things.

Being able to humbly listen to the opinions of others proves that this person has a big heart and has the most room for growth.

"Lord!"

As a call came, Liu Jian and Liu Bei both looked behind.

saw that Xiahou Lan was carrying Wang Kuang's head, and ran towards Liu Jian with an excited face.

Liu Jian stood up and said to Liu Bei: "Let's go, brother!" Today's big victory, let's go and celebrate their achievements! ”

……

……

After Liu Jian entered Huai County, Zhu Jun and Han Hao also led their troops back.

After Han Hao arrived in Huai County, he immediately gathered the great wang clans of Hanoi County in the name of the Han family and explained to them the cause and effect of the matter.

He informed everyone that Wang Kuang had accepted Yuan Shao's call to cut off Liu Jian's grain and plot to kill Liu Jian and his 30,000 elite soldiers.

If there was no letter from Lu Zhi first, Wang Kuang would have done this without reproach, and it would have been barely acceptable.

But he used Lu Zhi's letter to deceive Liu Jian's trust, and Wang Kuang ignored it.

And no one can whitewash Wang Kuang of this matter.

Because Wang Kuang had already led his troops to plant three large camps on Liu Jian's grain road, this was equivalent to three hundred taels of silver here.

In addition, Han Hao took the initiative to testify, and at the same time, he also went to Wang Kuang's mansion in person and found Wang Kuang's letter of collusion with Yuan Shao as evidence.

Whether this letter is true or not, only Liu Jian and Han Hao know.

Of course, at this point, no one cares whether the letter is true or not.

Because all the evidence points out that Wang Kuang betrayed Liu Jian, this matter is already a certainty.

Of course, even if anyone in Hanoi County has doubts or suspicions, they will definitely not say it.

Unless they're stupid.

You must know that Liu Jian is already a victor now.

It's not worth thinking about a dead man and a victor as an enemy.

The turmoil in Hanoi County, with the help of Han Hao, was suppressed by Liu Jian.

And in order to show his impartiality, Liu Jian did not let his subordinates occupy Hanoi, or send someone to replace Wang Kuang's position.

He simply gathered the famous nobles of Hanoi together and discussed with them how to arrange the follow-up matters in Hanoi County after Wang Kuang's death.

During the meeting, Han Hao took the initiative to stand up and expressed the hope that Zhu Jun could take over Han Hao's position and become the Taishou of Hanoi.

As for the reasons for recommending Zhu Jun as Taishou, it is indeed quite a lot.

First of all, Zhu Jun's family has elite soldiers and strong generals who have been guarding Hanoi for a long time, which can protect the safety of the Hanoi families.

In addition, Zhu Jun is also familiar with the situation in Hanoi County.

Moreover, Hanoi County is bordered by the Black Mountain Army in the east and the White Polish Army in the west, which is a relatively dangerous territory.

Once something happens in Hanoi County, it is easy to be targeted by thieves and robbed, and it is not only the common people who will suffer at that time, but also the wang clan.

But now, Wang Kuang is dead, Taishan's army has also been slaughtered, and the garrison of Hanoi County has been reduced by more than half.

In this case, if you don't want a good way to stabilize the situation in Hanoi County, the probability of the Montenegrin Army and the White Polish Army coming will definitely be very high.

In order to stabilize the military situation in Hanoi, the presence of the famous general Zhu Jun is very important.

Therefore, Liu Jian's proposal at this time to let Zhu Jun serve as the Taishou of Hanoi County is still very much in line with the interests of the people of Hanoi County.

Moreover, since Liu Jian was able to let Han Hao bring up this matter in public, it was inevitable that this matter would be necessary, and the people of the Hanoi tribes must agree.

In the end, after "soliciting" everyone's opinions, Liu Jian decided to go to the imperial court and express Zhu Jun as the Taishou of Hanoi.

……

……

The matter of Hanoi soon spread to the south of Luoyang, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Niu Fu all knew about it.

At this moment, these forces that were originally in full swing in Sizhou have become extremely nervous.

If Liu Jian arrives in Sizhou, the situation in Sizhou will definitely change dramatically.

This may not be good news for any of them.
