Chapter 101 Plotting to seize Qingzhou, Liu Bei was targeted

"Hahaha"

Lu Zhi laughed heartily.

The career of this life has been full of ups and downs, but Lu Zhi is indifferent to fame and fortune, his original intention has not changed, and he is even more educated, and he accepts protégés all over the world.

But Lu Zhi has always had a regret in his heart.

Among the many protégés, none of them can inherit Lu Zhi's art of war.

It's not that he is not good at fighting, but in Lu Zhi's heart, this person who inherits the art of war must first have a big festival!

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

If it is learned by someone who has evil thoughts and is not loyal to the Han family, it will not only be sad for the Han family, but it will also destroy the great festival that Lu Zhi insisted on all his life.

Therefore.

Lu Zhi has never been able to find a suitable protégé to teach, until he meets Guan Yu!

Although he had seen Guan Yu before, Guan Yu at that time was just a horse archer beside Liu Bei, and he couldn't get into Lu Zhi's eyes.

On the way south, after listening to Zhang Fei talk about Guan Yu's past and character, Lu Zhi became interested in Guan Yu.

After coming to Linzi City and learning more about Guan Yu's character, Lu Zhi came up with the idea of taking Guan Yu under his door.

It's just that Lu Zhi didn't expect that the first time he took the initiative to accept a protégé was rejected.

If this is a different person, it is estimated that Lu Zhi will leave with his sleeves brushed away.

But Guan Yu really made Lu Zhi love him too much.

has the courage of 10,000 enemies, and can uphold the loyalty and righteousness festival, and often recite the Spring and Autumn Righteousness and self-study the art of war.

How can Lu Zhi not love such a talent?

"The old man has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has accepted protégés all over the world, but no one can inherit the old man's art of war." Lu Zhi stroked his short hair slightly, and there was more relief in his tone: "I am happy to meet Yunchang today, I wish it was enough!" ”

Guan Yu was also moved.

When he studied "Dog Tao" presented by Zheng Ping, Guan Yu actually always had a good impression of Lu Zhi.

Zheng Xuan's annotation of "Dog Tao" only makes "Dog Tao" easy to understand, but when Lu Zhi reviews "Dog Tao", he often leaves some insights.

The one who is in charge of the army should keep a great festival to repay his benefactor.

This concept is almost the same as Guan Yu.

"Congratulations uncle, you got what you wanted!" Zheng Ping congratulated.

Let Guan Yu apprentice to Lu Zhi, Zheng Ping is unanimously secretly pushing.

From the time Zheng Ping gave Guan Yu "Dog Tao", he had such an idea.

On the big festival, Guan Yu and Lu Zhi are both loyal and righteous people, and they do not forget to repay their benefactors even if they are in a difficult situation.

Compared with Lu Zhi, although Guan Yu is more brave in martial arts, he lacks a lot of literary strategy.

Only by making up for the military strategy with a literary strategy can Guan Yu's advantages be highlighted as much as possible.

And having the identity of Lu Zhi's protégé can also give Guan Yu an extra advantage in dealing with the relationship with scholars.

If he is not Lu Zhi's protégé, Guan Yu will be regarded as a contemptuous scholar.

But when he became Lu Zhi's protégé, it was different.

Because of Lu Zhi's Confucian name, Guan Yu is the heir cultivated by Lu Zhi, even if Guan Yu is arrogant, he may not be regarded as contemptuous.

The momentum and fame are there, ordinary scholars want to get Guan Yu's respect, so they have to show their real talents!

"Second brother, now I am three brothers, but they are all Lu Shi's protégés." Zhang Fei approached Guan Yu with a smile and lowered his voice: "Second brother, "Lu's New Book" is still here. ”

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know: "What is Lu's New Book"? ”

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, jumped to his feet and said: "Second brother, of course it is the "Lu's New Book" given to me by Master Lu." ”

"Oh." Guan Yu said lightly: "Third brother, can you return the wine that was given to you last time?" ”

Zhang Fei didn't think twice: "You gave it to me, how can I return it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei's face suddenly collapsed: "Second brother, you are deceitful again!" ”

Hahaha.

A burst of laughter sounded, but Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh heartily.

As Liu Bei'er's laughter sounded, Zhang Fei also laughed.

All of a sudden, there was laughter and joy in the office.

A moment later.

Zheng Ping suggested again: "Envoy, let your uncle go to the Plains Country with Yun Chang." Just let my uncle go to meet the king of the plains, and the marriage of the envoy should also be put on the agenda. ”

A trace of hesitation suddenly flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, but it quickly disappeared again: "The plot is reasonable!" Master Lu, please leave this matter to me. ”

Lu Zhi nodded.

One of the purposes of going south was to preside over Liu Bei's marriage with Guo Zhao, the niece of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, as Liu Bei's elder.

After all the arrangements were completed, everyone went to their respective posts.

Zheng Ping stayed alone: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

Liu Bei saw that Zheng Ping saw the clue, and couldn't help sighing: "Xianmou, I'm just a little worried, if the plot fails, wouldn't it be a mistake for the other party's lifelong event." ”

Zheng Ping laughed: "It makes you worry too much." Guo Xianren married his deceased husband three times before leaving the cabinet, how could he worry about the delay of his lifelong event because of the envoy's plan? ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as the monarch is still there, even if the real destiny is not there, will Guo Xianren still abandon the envoy and leave alone?"

"What's more, I don't think the plot will fail."

"Don't lose your tenacity, and learn from that mediocrity to disturb yourself!"

Zheng Ping's exhortation made Liu Bei a little ashamed, and the self-confidence in his eyebrows was also restored: "Let Xianmou laugh!" Qingzhou has reached the most critical moment, if you retreat at this time, it will really be wasted. ”

At present, all counties, counties and townships in Qingzhou are resettling displaced people with great fanfare.

Qingzhou has experienced the catastrophe of the Yellow Turban, and there are many ownerless fields and houses.

These fields and houses were registered and temporarily placed under the government.

The reason why it is said to be temporary is that the people who avoided evacuation have returned, causing a dispute over property rights.

Liu Bei adopted Zheng Ping's suggestion and distributed the fields to the displaced people according to the number of people, and also made a register for registration.

At the same time, grain and rice are distributed to the displaced people in various counties, counties and townships on a monthly basis, and the displaced people are organized to reclaim wasteland and work in workshops designated by the government.

Almost all kinds of disaster relief methods that can be used by Liu Bei have been used.

When the resettled people saw the government doing this, the resentment in their hearts was also decreasing day by day.

But these resettled displaced people didn't know that Liu Bei's stored grain in Qingzhou was consumed at astronomical sums every day!

Although there were merchants from neighboring counties who were trafficking grain and rice, this supply was not proportional to consumption, and the money and grain in Liu Bei's treasury gradually became dangerous.

This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Ping refused Tai Shici's request to ask for Guan Cheng.

Almost all of Qingzhou's money and grain were used to appease the people, and there was no surplus to support Tai Shici to levy and manage the inheritance.

After a pause, Liu Bei took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm: "Xianmou, you come to draft." It's time to pass on the message to Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao and others! ”

Gather the displaced people as tigers to swallow the general trend of the world!

This is the most critical part of Zheng Ping's layout to solve the scourge of Qingzhou.

It's now the end of the first year of Chuping.

This year, Liu Bei rose in Qingzhou, but the general trend of the world also changed after Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo wanted to contain Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, and under the recommendation of Xu Rong, he canonized Xu Rong's fellow county townsman Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong.

Wang Rong, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao, the middle marquis of the Northern Army, to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou.

At this time, Yuan Shutun soldiers in Luyang, sitting on the people of Nanyang, with the help of Sun Jian and Yuan's former officials, across Nanyang and Runan, the momentum is quite large.

Although Yanzhou is not a large region, its registered population is far superior to that of Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

There are also Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu and other ambitious assassins and Taishou, each of whom supports the army and respects themselves, and there are many contradictions between them.

Jizhou Mu Han Fu wanted to make the counties and states of Jizhou obey his orders, and desperately suppressed Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was at odds with Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Youbeiping, and the contradictions between the two sides were increasing day by day.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, although holding Danyang elite soldiers, but the control of Xuzhou is also weak, there is Taishan thief Zang to occupy Langya in the north, Zhang Chao occupies Guangling in the south, and most of the Xiapi is controlled by the protégé of the Chen family in Xiapi.

If it weren't for the support of Mi Zhu in Donghai County, Tao Qian would also be in trouble in Xuzhou.

Because of his resentment against Xiapi Chen's insupport, Tao Qian connived at Xiapi Xiangzhen to accumulate wealth, and the contradiction with Xiapi Chen became deeper.

And in this complex situation.

Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao because of the alliance against Dong!

Among the entire Huimeng princes, except for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's desire to please Dong was the strongest.

It's not that Yuan Shu wants to help the Han family.

Instead, Yuan Shu wanted to avenge the Yuan family's annihilation, as well as replace Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo is not treated well by scholars, but Yuan Shu is from the fourth world and the third duke, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, then Yuan Shu will become the minister of the society of Kuang Fu Han!

Born in a famous family, and has the credit of Kuang Fu Sheji, once Yuan Shu is in power, the ministers will approve it, the little emperor will not object, and the public opinion of the people in the world will also be biased towards Yuan Shu.

Even if Yuan Shao and the others didn't want to obey orders, they didn't dare to openly oppose it.

Therefore, after the failure of the first alliance, Yuan Shu reached an agreement with Sun Jian to provide grain and grass to Sun Jian and support Sun Jian's fight against Dong.

At the same time, Yuan Shu played Sun Jian as the general who broke the captives, and also led the history of Yuzhou Assassination, and fought hard in Luyang, preparing to crusade against Dong Zhuo again.

At this time, Yuan Shao wrote another letter to Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could support Liu Yu to become emperor.

Liu Yu is in the north and Yuan Shu is in the south, which supports Liu Yu to be the emperor, isn't he making a wedding dress for Yuan Shao?

was already dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's Yuan Shu, and immediately asked people to fork out Yuan Shao's envoy.

Although Sun Jian was attached to Yuan Shu, he also wanted to make a name for himself by courting Dong, and defeated Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen in Luyang.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shu's momentum for Dong gradually grew, and many heroes and wise men were vying for attachment because Yuan Shu was asking Dong again.

But the greater Yuan Shu's momentum, the rest of the people who had participated in the alliance, such as Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Zhang Miao and others, felt uncomfortable.

Yuan Shu's purpose is already obvious!

Since you don't ask for Dong, I'll ask for Dong and Yuan Shu myself.

But this is Dong's reputation, that is, my Yuan Shu alone!

"Highway boy, dare to humiliate me!"

Bohai County.

Yuan Shao was so angry that his face was a little distorted.

Thinking that Yuan Shu was his own family, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Yuan Shu to support Liu Yu together.

In all fairness, when Yuan Shao sent a letter to Yuan Shu, he was really Yuan Shu's family.

After all, the Yuan family is a family, and the protégés are all over the world.

Yuan Shao is in the north, Yuan Shu is in the south, these two brothers support Liu Yu, and then Liu Yu's own fame, who will oppose the Kwantung scholars?

As a result, Yuan Shu not only scolded Yuan Shao for being disloyal and unjust, but also directly forked out Yuan Shao's messenger!

was slapped in the face by his own brother, Yuan Shao's anger can be imagined.

After calming down, Yuan Shao also guessed Yuan Shu's purpose, and then looked at Xu You and Feng Ji: "Ziyuan, Yuan Tu, the highway doesn't want to support Liu Yu, and it must still have the intention of begging Dong." ”

"His foundation is in Nanyang County, and he wants to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he has the convenience of the location."

"If I really let the highway succeed in courting Dong, my name as the leader of the alliance will exist in name only, and I will have to live on the highway in the future!"

"Is there a good plan for me?"

Xu You sneered: "Yuan Shu is tyrannical in Nanyang, and the people are miserable, and such a person is also worthy of talking about Dong?" ”

"If I don't say it at the beginning, I will also break the deployment of Yuan Shu!"

Now Yuan Shu played Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou, and made Sun Jian go west. At the beginning, he also played a person as the assassin of Yuzhou, and after Sun Jian advanced westward, he was ordered to enter Yuzhou. ”

"Yuan Shu saw that Yuzhou was lost, and he would inevitably panic and summon Sun Jian to return."

"When Yuan Shu leads troops to fight for Yuzhou, he can try to provoke Yuan Shu and Yanzhou to fight, so that he will fall into war and cannot get out."

"In this way, what qualifications does Yuan Shu have to ask for Dong?"

Yuan Shao stroked his palms and laughed: "Ziyuan is worthy of unparalleled intelligence, if you use this strategy, the highway conquest of Dong Zhuo will definitely return in vain!" He was rampant in Nanyang, and he failed to conquer Dong Zhuo, and his reputation became stinky. ”

"Highway, highway, if you support Liu Yu, I can still see the past to help, but if you have to tear your face, then I can't show mercy to you."

"Zhou Qiao, the auditor, is the former official of the Yuan family, who was invited by Meng De to meet the alliance, and there are 2,000 elites under his command, so he can serve as the assassin of Yuzhou and conquer the counties of Yuzhou!"

After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again: "Liu Yu has repeatedly refused to be the emperor, and it is difficult to use Liu Yu's name to gain a foothold north of the Yellow River. ”

"I intend to replace Han Fu, but I also care about the damage to my reputation, I don't know if Ziyuan has a good plan?"

Xu You didn't answer, but looked at Feng Ji.

Both of them are from Nanyang and have the feeling of fellow villagers, so Xu You naturally has to give Feng Ji a chance.

Feng Ji thought for a while and said, "Ming Gong, I have a plan that can bring Ming Gong a lot of fame." ”

Yuan Shao became interested: "Please also ask Yuantu to speak bluntly!" ”

Feng Ji cleared his throat and said with confidence: "Recently, I heard that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe died in battle, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, was recommended by the state officials as the Thorn History of Qingzhou. ”

"But I think that if there is no Ming Gong's performance, Liu Bei is not qualified to serve as the assassin of Qingzhou!"

"Duke Ming can play another person, serve as the assassin of Qingzhou, and appease the people of Qingzhou."

Xu You couldn't help laughing and said: "Then Liu Bei is good at fighting, and this Qingzhou Yellow Turban has almost been exterminated." ”

"At this time, one person served as the assassin of Qingzhou, which is equivalent to robbing Liu Bei's credit."

"How can Liu Bei agree?"

Feng Ji laughed: "What if you don't agree?" Who made Liu Bei's appetite too big, and he wanted to settle the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees. ”

"If Liu Bei disagrees, then it is difficult to say whether the grain from Jizhou can be transported to Qingzhou."

"After all, in this cold winter, transportation is not necessarily very convenient."
