Chapter 122: The Discussion of the Western Expedition, Lu Zhi swore to break Chang'an
Tian Feng has a proud backbone.
Unless Han Fu abandoned Tian Feng like a broom and let him serve as a servant to repair the city wall like he did with Liu Hui in the past, Tian Feng would not leave Jizhou easily.
Tian Feng is also engaged in the state that Han Fu conquered, if Liu Bei turns his back on Han Fu and votes for Liu Bei just because he respects talents more than Han Fu, this is against Tian Feng's code of conduct.
If Han Fu himself dies and buries this Jizhou pastor, Tian Feng will naturally be able to vote for Liu Bei again if he becomes a free body.
However, Tian Feng's task now is to keep the identity of Jizhou Mu for Han Fu!
In front of Han Fu, he even guaranteed his life to persuade Liu Bei to support Han Fu.
Tian Feng didn't want to live up to his friend's expectations, so he could only spare no effort to lobby, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to.
The inner entanglement made Tian Feng sigh.
"Yuan Haogong, what's so difficult?" Liu Bei asked with concern: "If there is any difficulty, Yuan Haogong will say that it is okay!" As long as I Liu Bei can help, I will definitely do my best! β
Tian Feng saluted solemnly and said frankly: "I can't hide it, in addition to escorting Zihuigong's family in Qingzhou this time, I want to invite Liu Yuanjun to go to Yecheng to assist Han Yuanjun to persuade Yuan Taishou's soldiers and horses in Bohai to retreat." β
"Although Han Yuanjun has a loss of personal morality, there is nothing wrong with being a pastor of Jizhou, and Yuan Taishou has committed a violation of the guidelines, and the reason for raising troops to ask for guilt is too far-fetched."
"However, most of the counties and states of Jizhou support Yuan Taishou to ask for the guilt, and Han Envoy Jun is difficult to support alone, so he can only ask Liu Envoy Jun to come forward."
"If Liu Yuanjun is willing to go to Yecheng to persuade peace, Han Yuanjun promises to send money and grain to Qingzhou to help help the hungry."
Liu Bei was a little surprised: "Yuan Haogong came from Yecheng and didn't see the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou?" β
Tian Feng was stunned, and a cavalry passing by on the official road came to his mind: "Qingzhou's soldiers and horses? On the way, I came across a cavalry, but I didn't know the identity of the other party. β
Liu Bei said with a smile: "A few days ago, I sent my brother-in-law, Pingyuan Guan Yu, and five hundred cavalry to Yecheng first, it seems that I and Han Envoy Jun have thought of it together." β
Tian Feng originally prepared a lot of lobbying words, but Liu Bei said that the soldiers and horses had already gone to Yecheng, which made Tian Feng secretly relieved and a little more puzzled:
"Liu Yuanjun, forgive me for taking the liberty of it. The counties and states of Jizhou were willing to send grain to Qingzhou to save the people, but Han Zhijun refused. Isn't there a trace of resentment in Liu Yuanjun's heart? β
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "To say that there is no trace of resentment, it seems that I am too hypocritical." But even if I have a grudge, it's a private matter; And Yuan Taishou questioned Han Envoy, but it was a state business. β
"I am now recommended by the people of Qingzhou as the Assassin of Qingzhou, and I should focus on national affairs, how can I let the national affairs be affected because of some trivial personal grievances?"
"Although Han Envoy Jun made some small mistakes, he was the Jizhou pastor ordained by the Son of Heaven, and he once drove troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and he wanted to support the Great Sima as the emperor and also wanted to revive the prestige of the Great Han."
"Regardless of his heart, Han Envoy Jun is willing to run for the country's official affairs, and on this basis, he, the Jizhou pastor, should not be deposed."
"On the other hand, Yuan Taishou, although he is also dedicated to the public, if his way of committing the following crimes is imitated, wouldn't it be who wants to be a state pastor and assassin in the future, and show off his strength?"
"The Han family has suffered many times and has been in turmoil, and there can be no more chaos."
"Therefore, although Yuan Taishou has kindness to Qingzhou, for the sake of national affairs, I can't abolish the public for personal reasons!"
Liu Bei's reasoning was moved by Tian Fengzhi.
Personal grievances and personal grievances cannot affect the official affairs of the state, so that they can deserve the name of Qingzhou Thorn History!
Tian Feng saluted again and praised: "Liu Envoy Jun is benevolent and righteous, Tian Feng admires!" β
Liu Bei laughed: "This is the basic duty of being a state assassin, Brother Yuan Hao has been tired all the way, please follow me back to the city first." β
Although Tian Feng can't be allowed to enter Shi Qingzhou like Liu Hui is invited, Liu Bei will not slack off the etiquette just because the other party does not enter Shi Qingzhou.
Especially Tian Feng, who has already become famous in Jizhou and has real talent and learning, is more worthy of Liu Bei's sincere friendship.
In order to prevent Tian Feng from returning to Yecheng and affecting Zheng Ping's deployment, after giving Tian Feng a banquet in the city, Liu Bei sent people to Linzi City with Tian Feng.
After all, in addition to being an envoy for Han Fu, Tian Feng also had the task of escorting Liu Hui's family.
"There are so many talents under Han Fu's command!"
"If Qingzhou also has so many talents, how lucky it would be."
Looking at Tian Feng's distant back, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, and he could understand Liu Bei's mood at this time.
Qingzhou was poisoned by the Yellow Turbans, and most of the far-sighted talents and heroes fled.
Although there are talents coming to Qingzhou one after another, there are very few who can be called talents.
Among these talents, there are even fewer who can be recognized by Liu Bei and Zheng Ping at the same time, can win over each other, and can be regarded as cronies.
Although Zheng Xuan recommended some protΓ©gΓ©s, the really talented Ruqinghe Cui Yan was not optimistic about Liu Bei, and Shanyang Xi was worried about Kong Rong.
After all, these people are just Zheng Xuan's protΓ©gΓ©s, not old officials, and Zheng Xuan can't force them to come to Qingzhou.
Most of those who are willing to serve under Liu Bei are not famous enough to be famous in the prefecture and county.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei's assassination mansion is short of people, and the Taishou, county Cheng, national minister, and national fu of various counties and countries are all short of people.
And whether it is the auxiliary government of the Assassin's Mansion, or the important official positions such as the Taishou, the county minister, the state minister, and the state master of each county and country, they cannot be easily appointed.
Such as the change in Yanzhou, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao raised their arms, and almost the entire territory of Yanzhou was opposed, almost leaving Cao Cao homeless.
At that time, Cao Cao, assisted by Xun Yu, Mao Jie, and Cheng Yu, failed to stop the rebellion of the counties and states in Yanzhou, and could only hold the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e and Fanxian.
The reason for this is that in addition to Xiahoudun in the eastern county, there are also the Taishou, the county minister, the state minister, the national master, and even the reason why almost all the people in charge of the army are not Cao Cao's cronies.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping's attitudes towards the important official positions of each county have always been very clear.
Rather lack than excess!
If there is no suitable person to fill the position, it will be filled by someone close to him.
"If I and the envoy both go to Yecheng, this Zihui will be even busier in the Assassin's Mansion."
"It's better to send Jun Xiu's letter to Linzi City, and give Zihui a certain degree of the right to act cheaply."
"For example, temporarily recruiting some talented people to help with state affairs and so on."
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Ping's mouth.
Liu Bei understood, and his eyes lit up: "What does it mean to conspire, let Tian Dianxue assist Zihui in handling some state affairs?" β
But soon, Liu Bei was a little gloomy: "But even so, Tian Dianxue will still leave Qingzhou, alas! β
Zheng Ping shook his fan and chuckled: "If you want to keep Tian Dianxue, it's not impossible." β
Liu Bei raised his head: "Is there really a good plan to leave Tian Dianxue?" β
Zheng Ping nodded, and his tone was quite pleasant: "Sending Jun to Yecheng is a difficult matter to solve Han Fu's problem, this is seconded to a Jizhou Dianxue to work, presumably Han Envoy Jun and Tian Dianxue will not shirk." β
"Solved Han Fu's difficulties, and in the future, Han Fu needs someone to communicate the details with Qingzhou if he wants to transport grain to Qingzhou."
"I thought that if Tian Dianxue would be stationed in Qingzhou in the future to be responsible for communicating with Qingji, Han Fu would not agree, right?"
Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping in amazement: "Can you still be permanent?" β
According to Liu Bei's idea, it would be very good to let Tian Feng assist Liu Hui in handling government affairs in Qingzhou and increase the goodwill of both parties.
As a result, Zheng Ping came up with a stroke of genius and actually wanted Tian Feng to be resident in Qingzhou!
Zheng Ping chuckled: "Tian Dianxue is engaged in Jizhou, yes, but he is also a courtier of the Han Dynasty!" This Qingzhou is in trouble, and Jizhou comes to help, which is a good thing worth singing. β
"Jizhou can transfer money and grain, and naturally it can also transfer people!"
"If Han Fu feels that he has lost money, the envoy can also send someone to Yecheng to stay in Yecheng."
"They are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, do they still have to separate each other?"
Liu Bei laughed: "Xianmou, if Tian Dianxue can really live in Qingzhou, it will definitely be a blessing for Qingzhou." β
Zheng Ping's eyes were full of meaning.
Since Tian Feng came to Qingzhou, Zheng Ping did not plan to let Tian Feng leave.
Going to Yecheng with Liu Bei to persuade peace, although it can stop Yuan Shao's plot this time, but this cannot stop Yuan Shao's plot against the general trend of Jizhou.
Zheng Ping couldn't keep an eye on how Yuan Shao calculated Han Fu all the time!
With Han Fu's ability, it is inevitable that Yuan Shao will seize Jizhou and replace Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou.
Since it can't be stopped, Zheng Ping will try to intercept the talents and heroes under Han Fu for Liu Bei as much as possible.
Tian Feng has a proud backbone.
When Han Fu was there, Tian Feng would not vote for him.
But if Han Fu is gone, Tian Feng can't go back to Jizhou to vote for Yuan Shao, right?
As long as Tian Feng is in Qingzhou, Zheng Ping has a way to let Tian Feng stay in Qingzhou all the time!
Immediately, Liu Bei adopted Zheng Ping's suggestion and sent a book to Linzi City.
"Envoy, Master Lu invites you and Zheng Beijia to go to the hall of the government office." While discussing with Zheng Ping, a horseman came to report.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he followed Zheng Ping to the hall.
In the hall, in addition to Lu Zhi, Hu Zhao, Liu Ziping, Liu Jun, and Deng Xu, Zhang Fei and Zhang Hong, who came from Donglai County, also arrived.
"Big brother, you're so eccentric!"
As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Zhang Fei came up, and his tone was full of grievances.
Liu Bei smiled: "Yide, let you be the prime minister of the plains, are you still wronged?" β
Zhang Fei spread out his hands and said one by one: "Big brother, if you let Xianhe go to be the Taishou of Donglai County, should I follow Lu Shi on the expedition." β
"But you let me be the prime minister of the plains, and let the second brother go out with Master Lu, isn't this partiality?"
Liu Bei laughed and pointed to Zheng Ping: "Then you have to ask Xian Mou about this matter." β
Zhang Fei's momentum suddenly leaked, his eyes glanced away, and his tone was sneering: "Big brother, you can't say it, so you can push it to Mr., it's so unreasonable." β
Zheng Ping also smiled and said: "Yide, this can't be blamed on the envoy. It was you who wrote to you before, saying that the prince is already married, and you can also take a wife. β
"This transfer you to the plains, and you can just get married."
"Hu Xianling's cousin has been waiting for you for a long time, you can't delay others just because you want to compete with Yun Chang."
After Guan Yu became the prime minister of the plains, Hu Zhao naturally took over as the county magistrate of Gaotang County, and also served as part of Guan Yu's plain minister's affairs.
Therefore, Hu Zhao often traveled in Pingyuan County and Gaotang County.
After all, Hu Zhao's cousin and Zhang Fei looked at each other, and Hu Zhao was the first to follow Liu Bei, and he was also a person who could be trusted.
Zhang Fei muttered: "Then why didn't you say earlier that Master Lu was going to go to Dong Zhuo, if you said earlier, I could wait." β
Liu Bei scolded lightly: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" Can you wait, can Hu Xianling's cousin wait? You and Mr. Zigang will guard the Plains Kingdom, and when I return from Yecheng, I will organize a marriage for you. β
"Then the next time I go on an expedition, my eldest brother will have to think about me first!" Zhang Fei glared at the ring and begged.
Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head and responded: "Okay, good!" Next time you go on an expedition, let you be the pioneer first, this is always okay! β
Zhang Fei regained his smile: "Then I can remember, big brother, sir, you can't break your word!" β
Wait for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to finish their reminiscences.
Lu Zhi slowly spoke: "Xuande, the old man knows that it is quite difficult for Qingzhou to go to Dong Zhuo at this time. But Zhu Jun told the old man that Dong Zhuo was becoming more and more rampant in Chang'an, and even had the intention of getting involved with the eldest princess. β
"Now that Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to prepare to attack Luoyang, Liu Yan's eldest son in the court, Zuo Zhonglang's general Liu Fan, and his second son, Liu Dan, the secretary of the imperial history, also communicated with Zhu Jun, saying that if the Guandong army rises again, Liu Yan will also go to Yizhou and enter Chang'an."
"This is a godsend opportunity to ask Dong Zhuo again!"
Liu Bei was awe-inspiring: "Master Lu, crusading against the national thief Dong Zhuo and rescuing the Son of Heaven is what Hanchen and others should do." β
"Although Qingzhou is difficult, it is only difficult in terms of money and food, and Qingzhou's soldiers and horses can also be used."
"This time, Yuan Shao asked Han Fu to blame, and the conspiracy has already planned a plan to ask Yuan Shao and Han Fu for grain and grass, and with these grains and grasses, it is enough to support Lu Shi's expedition to the west."
"Master Lu is only in charge of the westward expedition, and I and Xian are here to raise food and grass!"
Yuan Shao asked about Han Fu, and Lu Zhi had also heard about it.
Hearing Liu Bei mention it at this time, Lu Zhi couldn't help sighing: "Jizhou has a lot of money and food, and a wide range of soldiers, and he doesn't think about the west to conquer Dong, but he is still fighting for who will be the pastor of Jizhou." β
"Since the death of Taifu, no one in the Yuan family can restrain them."
Lu Zhi was very sad.
has money, food, soldiers and generals, but they are still playing the trick of fighting for power and profit in Jizhou.
And the one who played this power struggle was Yuan Shao after the fourth and third dukes!
If Yuan Kui and the others died, there would be no one in the Yuan clan who could restrain Yuan Shao.
"Master Lu, since the others can't be trusted, let's do it ourselves!" Liu Bei said in a condensed voice: "As long as I am still waiting, there will still be people in this big man who are going to fight against the national thieves!" β
Listening to Liu Bei's bold words, Lu Zhi was relieved.
"Well, well said!" Lu Zhi laughed: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself!" As long as the old man still has a breath, he will inevitably cut Dong Zhuo off the horse! If you don't break Chang'an, you won't return! β
Zheng Ping couldn't help but shudder, and persuaded him: "Uncle, Dong Zhuo's expedition to the west was not done in a short period of time. β
"The Xiliang army is brave, and it should take step by step as a strategy, enter Tongguan from the tiger prison, restore the dangerous passes along the way, and fight a protracted battle with Dong Zhuo."
"Dong Zhuo is brutal and unkind, and the Xiliang Army is not producing, so it will definitely not last."
"When there is civil strife, my uncle can find an opportunity to destroy it!"
