Yan Rou and Xian Yufu had their own opinions, and they were unwilling to give in on this matter.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, sat down slowly, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, the two of them had their own ideas, whether it was a big gamble to appoint Gongsun Zhan as the Taishou of Liaoxi County.

If he joins forces with Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, even if he is not his opponent, it will cause a lot of trouble.

But if he can balance Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, and can also help resist the invading Xianbei, it would be the best.

Xian Yufu's insistence is not unreasonable, after all, a series of things that happened in Zhuojun before have made there a rift between Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan and others, and Gongsun Chan is also quite ambitious, not to mention that he is also engaged in Liu Li's help, which will only make him more difficult to deal with.

But the top priority is the Xianbei invasion in the north, they are not easy to deal with, this attack is still planned and purposeful, and at the same time, there are people in the court who speak ill of Liu Yu behind their backs.

With Youzhou Mu Liu Yu here, Xianbei and Wuhuan have never been able to get benefits, let alone encroach on the boundaries of Youzhou.

Therefore, they joined forces with the officials who had contradictions with Liu Yu in the court, and those who had a heart in the court used the Zhuojun incident to speak ill of Liu Yu openly and secretly, making Liu Yu suffer from the enemy.

It is precisely because someone is chewing the root of the tongue behind his back that Liu Yu's son Liu He is obviously an official of the imperial court, but because of the invasion of Xianbei, he let him return to Youzhou together, and the beautiful name is to let him and his father Liu Yu guard Youzhou together.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a manifestation of the court's distrust of Liu Yu, otherwise with the identity of Liu and the Han family, plus the identity of the imperial court's official servant, how could he leave easily.

"General Xianyu, I want to ask you, what is the top priority for us?" Liu Yu's inquiry shattered the silence.

After thinking about it for a while, Xian Yufu replied: "Lord Qi, the last general thinks that the top priority should be to deal with the menacing Xianbei. ”

After Yan Rou, who was standing beside Liu Yu, heard Xian Yufu's answer, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his face revealed disdain.

"General Yan, tell me what you think." The expression on Yan Rou's face had already been captured by Liu Yu.

But he saw Yan Rou and said loudly: "According to the last general's opinion, the top priority is to find out the inner ghost, who is making trouble behind the scenes, causing this farce." ”

Hearing this, Xian Yufu was quite puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "General Yan, who are the inner ghosts you refer to?" ”

"It's a small person who is in harmony with Xianbei."

"Cooperate with Xianbei inside and outside, and those who can do this kind of thing are afraid that they don't even want their lives, this is a crime of rebellion, and they will be beheaded." Xian Yufu was surprised, and he shifted his gaze to Liu Yu, as if he didn't believe everything he had heard.

Liu Yu nodded and agreed with what Yan Rou said: "Youzhou is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you don't deal with Xianbei in a short time, they won't be able to get in, but what you are most afraid of is that the soldiers are fighting bravely to kill the enemy on the front line, but in the rear, someone is stabbing in the back, what a chilling thing it should be." ”

He has experienced the taste of being betrayed, which is quite uncomfortable, and now, there may be how many people in the court are eyeing him as the pastor of Youzhou, and if he can understand the situation in Youzhou so well, it is enough to show that the people who can pass the news to the court must be people in Youzhou, and their official position is not low.

"But who will be the inner ghost?" Xian Yufu muttered to himself, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked in surprise: "Could it be that the lord already has a suspicious candidate, that is, those from the Gongsun family?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yu smiled with relief and said, "The son can be taught." ”

...

"Bergui." As the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yan will never put the entire Gongsun family in danger because of his own selfishness, whether it is Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chen, or Gongsun Zhan, he will not favor either side.

"The head of the house." Seeing Gongsun Yan shouting to himself, Gongsun Chan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hand, and replied.

After all, he is a junior, although he is not familiar with Gongsun Yan, he will definitely give enough face.

"This Xianbei invasion, this matter is still quite strange." Although Gongsun Yan doesn't ask about the world, he is still extremely sensitive to things.

Moreover, he had been a pastor in Youzhou for many years a long time ago, and he knew the local situation in Youzhou very well, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Strange?" Liu Li asked, he had heard these words from others more than once, the previous businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang had said it, his teacher Lu Zhi had also said it, and the current Gongsun Yan, the head of the Gongsun family, actually said this.

"Of course, I think that this Xianbei invasion is just Liu Yu's own show." Zhang Fei scrambled to speak.

"This strong man, it seems that you have a lot of insights, you might as well tell us your thoughts first, the old man's ideas may not be accurate." Compared with Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, Gongsun Yan is gentle and elegant, although he is old, he is not in a hurry and is full of logic.

"Master of the Gongsun family, the third brother is just talking to himself, you don't have to take it to heart."

Liu Li was worried that Zhang Fei would say the wrong thing, so he wanted to help him get rid of it, but who knew that Zhang Fei didn't hear Liu Li's words at all, and shouted to himself: "I'm going to say, then Liu Yu is still rumored in the world, he is a relative of the Han family, or the emperor's uncle, many people outside are rumoring, he supports the army and respects himself, and he wants to be a prince, dominate the world, and dominate one side." ”

When Gongsun Yan heard this, he laughed, and Zhang Fei thought he was right, so he laughed too.

Suddenly, Gongsun Yan's face changed, and he said seriously: "It's a pity, according to the old man's understanding of Liu Yu, he is not so boring. ”

Zhang Fei was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to say, he wanted to say something to save his respect, but Zhang Fei, who usually had something to say, was speechless, and in desperation, he turned his gaze for help to Liu Li.

"Master Gongsun, I agree with your point of view."

I thought that the eldest brother Liu Li could help him find some excuses and analyze how bad Liu Yu was, but who would have thought that this Liu Yu was the one who ordered Liu Li to beat a hundred boards, if it weren't for the fact that when he reached the fifty boards, Liu Li fainted, and the Hou Taishou of Zhuojun interceded with Han Fu in the imperial history, I am afraid that if this hundred boards go down, Liu Li's little life will be gone.

Obviously, there should be a grudge between Liu Yu and Liu Li, although there is no deep hatred, but after all, he beat Liu He violently, and no one can prove who did this until now.

But since this is what Liu He himself said, the people of the world still think that it was really Liu Li's doing, who would have thought that this Liu Li would actually turn into a person, get the golden media signboard of Zhuojun through the promotion of the media, and become a student of the great Confucian Lu Zhi.

Liu Li is not a cautious person, he was beaten fifty boards, and he thought that he had nothing to do with beating Liu He, and he also inquired about Liu Yu's reputation in Zhuo County, his reputation was prominent, and he loved the people like a son, how could it be that those villains in the court looked like him.

Regardless of the rest for the time being, not to mention that Gongsun Zan led 7,000 soldiers and horses to Youbeiping County, after being treated in the cold, Liu Yu was still able to beat his son with a rod on the grounds of violating military discipline in front of the whole army.

Although there is an element of showing for others, the 20 boards can be said to be firmly hit on Liu He's body, painful in him, painful in Liu Yu's heart, how can a father bear to beat his son.

Just for the sake of taking into account the overall situation, otherwise, because of his son's willful behavior, he would lose his military heart, and to fight against the menacing Xianbei, Liu Yuquan relied on these soldiers who could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely.

Based on this matter alone, Liu Li can conclude that Liu Yu is a famous person who is dedicated to the public and the world, not the person who was robbed because of a good marriage that should have belonged to his son, as Zhang Fei said, and then he has been haunted in his heart and took this opportunity to take revenge.

"Li Gongzi, then tell me, what should you do next?" Gongsun Yan asked, throwing the question to Liu Li, he wanted to see what kind of opinion this proud protégé of Lu Zhi, who was known as the Taishou of the two counties, could have.

"In my opinion, Liaoxi County is the territory of the Gongsun clan, and the Bogui brothers are originally from the Gongsun family, if the head of the Gongsun family does not dislike it, you might as well gather everyone in the Gongsun family to come, join the army, and fight on the battlefield together against Xianbei."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan frowned a little unhappily, and his words also revealed a little unhappiness: "Li Gongzi, according to what you say, Bogui still has to deal with Xianbei first, and then he has to use the reputation of the Gongsun family, the old man has specially emphasized that the people of the Gongsun family, but there are many people who obey Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen." ”

"However, I have heard in Liaoxi County that in the Gongsun family, you are the only one who can be said." Liu Li asked tentatively.

Suddenly, Gongsun Yan's face changed, and he scolded sharply: "Li Gongzi, how good I am for you, it turns out that it is nothing more than that, who are you listening to these words?" ”

Seeing that Gongsun Yan had angered Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Zhan began to get anxious, and kept giving Liu Li a look, for fear that he would say the wrong thing again and make Gongsun Yan angry, so it would be difficult for them to carry out their follow-up work in Liaoxi County.

But Liu Li knows very well that whoever has the final say in Liaoxi County is Gongsun Yan, the head of the Gongsun family who always seems to speak for Gongsun Zhan, if he can help them, it will be much easier to deal with Xianbei and the inner ghosts in Youzhou.

But obviously, Gongsun Yan didn't want to help them, no matter who became the Taishou of Liaoxi County, no matter how powerful the Xianbei invasion was, he had only one purpose, and that was to keep the Gongsun family.

"You don't have to know who said that the head of the Gongsun family, but the reason why you dare to guess your status in Liaoxi County is because of the attitude of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen when they saw you." Liu Li and Gongsun Zhan came to the mansion of the head of the Gongsun family together, and the conversation between Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chen, and Gongsun Yan was clear.
