Xu Shu was so good at talking about it, and finally let Zhang Fei give him a chance.

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ventured to the city of Xiaoling, shouted at the head of the city, and asked Li Yan to let him enter the city.

"Brother Zhengfang! The old man is visiting, why don't you let me into the city! I am a disciple of Mr. Shuijing, Yingchuan Xu Shu, and this time I am coming for my brother's future! ”

When the defenders of the city heard this, they immediately went to report it. Li Yan was also anxious at the moment, heaven and man were at war, he was afraid that he would really provoke Zhang Fei, and the other party would make trouble again, and he couldn't guard against it.

When he heard that Xu Shu was visiting, he hurriedly ordered: "And order the soldiers to drop the hanging basket from the city tower and hang Xu Shu up - remember not to open the city gate for the time being, and beware of fraud in the dark night." ”

"No!" The gatekeeper immediately agreed, and he carried it out.

After a while, Xu Shu went up to the city tower, dusted off the dust he rubbed in the hanging basket, looked left and right to find Li Yan, and Shi Shiran stepped forward to salute:

"Brother Zhengfang, you and I have had several fates, and it is really touching to meet here today. Brother is going straight on the right path, and he doesn't want to be attached to Cao Thief's henchmen, and my brother admires it! ”

Li Yan was born as a small official, and he did not go through any inspection, so he was not considered a righteous career in the Han Dynasty.

However, he debuted very early, only twenty-five years old, and he already has seven or eight years of work experience, from the most basic secretary to the county order.

Such people often have obsessions similar to those of later generations such as "becoming a teacher/upgrading to a higher level", and after becoming an official, they also want to go back to make up for the shortcomings of their resumes, visit celebrities and scholars to ask for some questions, and gild.

Two years ago, Li Yan once went to visit Sima Hui and met Xu Shu by chance, and later met Pang Degong again.

At this moment, Xu Shu talked about the original friendship, and Li Yan couldn't wipe off his face, so he introduced the other party into the city tower to talk in detail.

The two sat down as guests, and Xu Shu went straight to the point to persuade him to surrender:

"Brother Zhengfang, when you are in danger, you can uphold the festival of Hanchen and not be in the company of Cao thief's henchmen, which shows your loyalty. Ten days ago, the general of the Che Cavalry was shocked to hear that Zhang Xian had responded to Cao Thief, and in order to harm Jingnan, he hurriedly sent the partial general Zhao Yun, the general Zhang Fei, and the general of the Fu army to the south to quell the rebellion.

Fortunately, General Zhang traveled day and night, straight into Wuling, and arrived at Xiaoling before Jin Xuan broke the city and rescued the soldiers and civilians of Xiaoling. Since my brother is willing to help the Han family, why not join forces with General Zhang to eliminate the national thieves? In the future, if the counterinsurgency is successful, General Zhang will be introduced to his brother, and the general will inevitably be reused, and the future is limitless. ”

Li Yan didn't dare to confirm Zhang Fei's identity at first, for fear that there would be another fraud in the night, so after listening to Xu Shu's persuasion, he explained his initial concerns.

“…… I am not resisting General Zhang, it is really about the fate of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and I can't see it clearly between the dark nights, and I can't act rashly. ”

Xu Shu listened to his loose tone, and hurriedly hit the snake with the stick: "Oh? In this way, after dawn, my brother is willing to open the city to greet him? Brother is a righteous man, don't break your word. ”

When Li Yan heard this, he was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, when did I agree?

Li Yanyi said solemnly: "Such a big event, how can it be child's play? Although my official position was appointed by Jin Xuan, it also relied on the mediation of Jingsheng Gong. Now that Jin Xuan is rebellious, I should be the screen of Jingsheng Gong and block the thieves in Jiangnan, how can I vote for others at will? Wouldn't he become a capricious villain! ”

Xu Shu shook his head, and said in a sincere tone: "Brother only knows one and doesn't know the other, don't you hear that good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve." Although Jing Shenggong is also a moral gentleman and can tolerate people, he can tolerate people but cannot use people after all.

Because he rode into the state alone, he compromised and forbearance at the beginning, planting a bane, resulting in most of the power in Jingzhou being stolen by the Cai and Kuai clans. Now Cai and Kuai have been in power for nearly ten years, and it is difficult to return.

Although my brother felt the grace of Jingsheng's public knowledge, he repaid the righteousness. But your sincerity only protected the interests of Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, how much can you repay Jingsheng Gong? Recently, it was rumored that the Cai family had borrowed the reason of their in-laws to slander and wanted to marry Cai Mao's daughter Xu with the second son of Jingsheng Gong.

If this matter is done, in the future, everything in Jingzhou will not be the Cai family's final say! Xi Zhanghan thought he was loyal to Emperor Qin, but in the end he was used by Zhao Gao. Once there is a woman on the side of the lord to interfere in the government, it will be a disaster for a long time, and the loyalty and goodness will be affected, and this is an inevitable reason.

Don't say it far away, but say that this dynasty is so decadent to the Han Dynasty, and the eunuchs of foreign relatives take turns to interfere in politics, how much should be accounted for? With my brother's knowledge, I don't know it, right? Brother, I don't know what happened! ”

Cai Mao's daughter married Liu Cong, which did not happen until eight years of Jian'an, and it was still two and a half years from now. However, it is common for the ancients to discuss and make a decision long in advance before the child gets married.

Now that there are similar rumors in Jingzhou, Xu Shu mentioned this matter, and Li Yan didn't think he was talking nonsense.

Thinking that he was loyal to Liu Biao and grateful for his kindness, in the end he might just be loyal to the Cai family, and Li Yan was also slightly shaken.

Xu Shu saw him groaning, and knew that this step was almost given, and he firmly believed that these scholars who had not been inspected would definitely be attracted by the inspiration of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, so he took the opportunity to add a fire and continued to persuade Liu Bei's virtue and politics:

"Brother should have heard that since Xuande Gong became the ruler of Jiangxia last year, he has been benevolent and loving the people, spreading kindness, building roads and rivers, and rectifying craftsmanship. Nowadays, Jiangxia is prosperous, and the industry of industrial and mining skills feeds back to the agricultural capital, and the government also invests money and grain to print books and sell them cheaply to the counties of Jingzhou, benefiting the poor scholars.

And Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have set up a name since last winter, pretending to seal the river and investigate to ban Cao Cao's meticulous work, but in fact, nothing has been achieved! Now he is still sent by Cao Cao to Changsha to go to Changsha and say that Zhang Xian is rebellious!

However, although Cai Zhang and others were incompetent in sealing the river and checking the river, they took the opportunity to hoard Juqi and monopolize the printing of books, but they were handy! The books printed by the Wuchang School Palace, when they arrived in Nanjun and Wuling, had to increase in price more than ten times or more, and then resold them for profit. As for other goods such as celadon and steel-filled utensils that are hoarded for profit, the list goes on!

Brother is full of enthusiasm, is it chilling to be used by such wolf-hearted dogs? Cai Mao and Zhang Yun Danfan have the slightest intention to do business, after Zhang Xian raised troops this time, why didn't they immediately transfer the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang and Nanjun to the south to quell the rebellion? Xiaoling was besieged by the rebels, why did General Zhang, who was sent by the Che Cavalry General, arrive first? It is already clear who is attentive to state affairs! ”

Li Yan was overwhelmed by Xu Shu's serial reasoning, and he was really a little overwhelmed.

He also thought of the various virtues and politics he had heard about Liu Bei in the past six months, as well as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's perverse actions of bullying and concealing his superiors and subordinates, and he was indignant in his chest.

It's just that Li Yan still has the last struggling in his heart, so he can't bear to say:

"Although Jingsheng Gong was held hostage by Cai Zhang and the Kuai family, it was difficult for loyal and righteous people to perform. But after all, he is kind to me and promotes me to official positions, even if my talents cannot be displayed, I cannot do anything harmful to him! The big deal is to stoop to keep your points, do your duty, and don't seek to be heard. ”

Xu Shu: "This is nature! Brother has this integrity, brother admires! But how can he talk about serving General Che Cai and working with General Zhang to quell the rebellion? General Che Cai and Jing Sheng Gong, the Enruo brothers, are allies in the joint crusade against Cao Thief! ”

When Li Yan heard this, there was a hint of awkwardness in his eyes: "Brother Yuan Zhixian, everyone is a smart person, why bother to prevaricate with such clever words!" Although the general of the Che Cavalry nominally fought with Jingsheng Gong to fight Cao, after all, it is difficult for one mountain to accommodate two tigers, and he will definitely annex it in the future! How can I help a stranger to swallow up the benefactor! ”

Xu Shu saw that the other party finally said the deepest concern hidden in his heart, he was not worried, Xu Shu knew very well that as long as he said this point thoroughly, Li Yan would definitely be convinced.

So Xu Shu took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, slowly organized the wording, and said: "Brother is too worried!" The amount of the general of the rook cavalry is extraordinary, and you will know it later.

What's more, my brother tried to think about it, could Jingsheng Gong annex Zhang Xiu back then? No, when Zhang Xiu came to vote, Zhang Jixin was shot and killed in Yucheng, he was lonely, and he was still allocated ordnance and grain and grass by Jingsheng Gong, so that Wancheng could be stationed for him to raise troops. With the grace of a general on a chariot, how could he not tolerate an alliance with Jingsheng Gong? ”

When Li Yan heard this, he suddenly became right: "So, in the future, it is possible that the general of the Che Cavalry will want to use Jingsheng's method of using Zhang Xiu to block the enemy from the north of Jingzhou?" ”

Xu Shu: "I didn't say that! It can certainly only be more forgiving than this one, but it cannot be harsher than this one. Brother tried to think about it: Jingsheng Gong is now the eldest prince of Jiangxia and is stationed in Hanyang.

The general of the chariot and cavalry has been holding on to it across the river for more than half a year, and the order is like that, and the general of the chariot and cavalry has repeatedly returned to the banquet with the eldest prince, exchanging what there is, such as the gift of uncle and nephew. Those who want to correct the world, how can the amount of tolerance be measured by ordinary people?

If the general wants to get rid of the thief and save the country, any kind of person can be reused. And Jingsheng Gong is very old, sixty years old, with the current deception of Cai Zhang and the Kuai family, in the future, after a hundred years of Jingsheng Gong, he will inevitably puppet Liu Cong, thinking that it is his own benefit.

And the general of the chariot cavalry is also the Zongzheng, and it must be the fault of the elders and young children in the Zhengzong family! Only by following the general can he keep the title of the eldest prince to succeed Duke Jingsheng in the future, so that Cai and Kuai will not be able to steal the real power of Jingbei! ”

Xu Shu's last slightly far-fetched words lifted Li Yan's moral concerns.

Li Yan suddenly discovered that his original loyalty to Liu Bei was to help the eldest prince take over Liu Jingzhou's class in the future, and to help the Liu family regain power.

And directly loyal to Liu Jingzhou, but instead loyal to Cai and Kuai, these Jingzhou power traitors who deceived their superiors and concealed them, are helping them steal power.

Li Yan was already in an extreme swing, and was pressed by this last straw, and finally decided to follow his heart.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yan officially opened the city gate and personally went to the city gate to greet Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei, who had been stationed outside the city all night, was not angry, and reorganized his team and entered the city with high spirits.

Xu Shu had already gone out of the city in the middle of the night last night to reply and tell him the situation, and let him play a role of "the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and there is no crime with Minqiu". Zhang Fei also knew that there was a need for this, after all, it was the first city that the eldest brother returned to after coming to Jingnan to quell the rebellion, and he had to leave a good reputation.

Zhang Fei still respects scholars, and I heard that Li Yan is a righteous man with a bit of integrity, but he can also treat him politely.

Li Yan asked people to hold the wine jar and personally gave Zhang Fei a cup: "General Zhang, don't blame, the army has its own laws, and he doesn't distinguish between the enemy and me late at night, so he doesn't dare to open the door, and he neglects the general." ”

Zhang Fei reluctantly took the wine bowl and drank it, Li Yan immediately asked people to pour it again, but Zhang Fei was impatient, and directly carried the wine jar in the hands of the attendant next to him, and blew it on the jar.

"We are also strict in governing the army, and we can take care of it, needless to say, Li County is a loyal and righteous person, and let's go to the city."
