"Although Zhou Qiao is not a brave general, he has 2,000 soldiers under his command, which is much stronger than the county soldiers of Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong and others."

"King Chen Liu Chong is brave, but he only cares about Chen Guo, and will neither recognize Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, appointed by Yuan Shu, nor Zhou Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, appointed by Yuan Shao, as long as Zhou Chu does not enter the Chen State, Liu Chong will remain neutral."

"Lu Xiang Chen Yi and Liang Xiang Zhao Yan have unclear positions, if they can't stop Zhou Qiao, they will probably choose to surrender."

"Although Zhou Qiao's movements are unknown now, he can also guess Zhou Qiao's march route, taking advantage of Liu Dai's attack on Taishan County, he first destroyed Lu and Liang, and then marched to Peiguo and Runan."

"Yuan Zhong is a person, born in the Yuan clan in Runan, and is good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, once he sees that the situation is not good, he will definitely abandon his official position and flee."

"Once Yuan Zhong leaves, Zhou Qiao can easily get Peiguo."

"The remaining Runan is too protective of Xu Xuan, although he is nominally obedient to Yuan Shu's orders, but he is not Yuan Shu's cronies, if he sees Zhou Qiao's strength, he will never have the heart to fight to the death."

"Therefore, if you want to help Yuan Shu keep Yuzhou, the only way to kill Zhou Qiao is to kill him before he goes south to Peiguo!"

"There are four strategies."

"First, send people to lobby the pirate management of Donglai County, and allow him to compete with each other in Muping County, Dongmu Houguo and Changyang County, and make three chapters of the law to avoid extreme conflicts. Secretly transferred back to Tai Shi Ci. ”

"Second, send a man who can speak well to walk with Tai Shici, and go to Chen State to see Chen King Liu Chong with a letter from the envoy Jun and the King of the Plains, state the interests and disadvantages, and invite him to send troops to resist Zhou Qiao!"

"Third, transfer Yide and Zigang into Langya County, borrow troops from Zang Ba to enter Xiaopei, and at the same time ask Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian to raise troops in Xiaopei together, waiting for the opportunity to attack Zhou Qiao!"

"Fourth, send people to Luyang to tell Yuan Shu that Yuan Shao wants to disrupt Dong's plan, and there is an envoy in the north of Yuzhou to resist Yuan Shu. Liu Biao's position in the south is unclear, so Yuan Shu can send an envoy to Xiangyang and at the same time set up a false flag in Wancheng. Even if Liu Biao had the heart to respond to Yuan Shao, he would never dare to provoke Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu was on guard. ”

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and slowly explained the situation in Yuzhou and the countermeasures.

Liu Hui said: "I have also heard the name of King Chen and Liu Chong. ”

"During the Zhongping period, the Yellow Turban thieves rose, and the county officials mostly abandoned the city and left. King Chen had thousands of strong crossbows, and sent troops to Duting to quell the rebellion. ”

"The people of Chen Guo knew that Chen Wang was good at shooting, so they didn't dare to rebel again."

"Chen Xiang Luo Jun is also a handsome man in the world, so he took the opportunity to gather the displaced people, so that more than 100,000 people have joined the Chen State."

"In the first year of the first peace, King Chen responded to the call of Dong, marched into Yangxia, and proclaimed himself the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, but King Chen only responded to the call of Dong, but the soldiers and horses did not leave Chen."

In the second year of Xiping, Chen Guo's state minister Shi Qian reported Liu Chong and the former state minister Wei Su, and the two of them privately sacrificed to the gods, which was a great rebellion. As a result, Wei Su, the former minister of Chen Guo, was killed, and the division of Wei Su, who was reported, was also killed. ”

"It can be speculated that King Chen should have a great relationship with the first emperor."

"If there is a letter between the envoy and the king of the plains, and there is a person who can speak well to state the interests and disadvantages, it is expected that it will not be difficult to invite the king of Chen to send troops."

Liu Bei admired: "To be able to protect the realm with martial arts, and to be able to be famous for Ren'an, King Chen is really a hero of my clan!" I don't know who is willing to send an envoy to Chen Guo? ”

Zhao Yu recommended: "Envoy, Kangcheng Gongmen, Lu Guoren Liu Yan and Liu Weishuo, recently came to Linzi City, this person is also a member of the Han family, has a romantic style, and is good at talking. You can go out! ”

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly: "Brother Weishuo is also back!" If Brother Weishuo goes to the country of Chen, he will definitely be able to persuade King Chen to send troops. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "There are talented people coming to Zicheng, but I don't know, it's really ashamed, I'll go to invite you in person later." ”

Tian Feng stroked his beautiful hair, and looked at Zheng Ping with more admiration.

In a short period of time, Zheng Ping expected Yuan Shao's backhand and formulated corresponding countermeasures.

"Zhang Liang is alive, but that's it."

"Liu Yuanjun has Zheng Xianmou to help, how fortunate he is!"

"It's a pity that Han Fu can't use people, so he can't let Yuan Shao do it."

Tian Feng sighed secretly.

After all, Tian Feng is still engaged in classics in Jizhou, and seeing that Han Fu is about to be annexed by Yuan Shao but it is difficult to check and balance, he is more or less regretful in his heart.

Zheng Ping observed his words, felt a trace of gloom in Tian Feng's eyes, and then whispered a few words to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard this, he came to Tian Feng's side again, and saluted: "I have something to ask for, I don't know if Mr. Yuan Hao can promise." ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The envoy is polite, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." ”

Liu Bei said in a condensed voice: "Although the strategy of Xianmou and Mr. Yuan Hao is to give up Jizhou, but Mr. Yuan Hao is still engaged in Jizhou's classics after all, if you coldly watch Jizhou being seized by Yuan Shao, this will definitely be difficult to let go of in your heart." ”

"Yecheng such as Fugong, Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan, Wang Ding, Xian Pei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Yi, etc. are all loyal and righteous people."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Yuan Hao to return to Yecheng immediately, and persuade Han Envoy Jun to beware of Yuan Shao's troubles with Fu Gong and others."

"If the persuasion fails, you can go to Changshan Country, Changshan Prime Minister Sun Jin, Changshan Lieutenant Zhao Yun, Changshan Peng Zhang Yi, Zhang Zan and others, all of whom are people of faith and righteousness, will definitely help Mr. Yuan Hao."

"The Zhongshan Zhen clan also has an old relationship with me, if we can persuade Chang Shanguo and Zhongshan to attach themselves to Da Sima together, maybe we can stop Yuan Shao's ambitions."

Tian Feng was moved when he heard this.

With Tian Feng's personality, it is very painful to sit idly by and ignore Jizhou.

But in Qingzhou, Tian Feng is also powerless.

Now Liu Bei gave Tian Feng a chance to go back to save Jizhou, how could Tian Feng not be moved?

Whether you can save Jizhou is one thing, and whether you can go back to save Jizhou is another.

"Regardless of whether it can be done or not, I am here to thank the envoy for Jizhou Wenwu!" Tian Feng bowed, and this time Jizhou's mind became eager.

Liu Bei quickly made a decision.

Send Gong Cao Zhao Yu to Donglai County to negotiate with the pirate Guan Cheng to negotiate the mutual market, and at the same time secretly transfer back to Tai Shici.

He also ordered You Heng to enter Yanzhou, and it was necessary to use the power of public opinion of the people to make Liu Dai temporarily withdraw from the army.

At the same time, he prepared the corresponding letters, sent Zhang Fei and Zhang Hong to Langya County to borrow troops from Zang Ba, and sent a message to Tao Qian by the way.

Liu Bei personally went to Linzicheng Academy to invite Liu Yan, and asked Liu Yan and Tai Shici to go to Chen Guo overnight to visit Chen Wang Liu Chong.

Tian Feng also took a few guards to Yecheng.

Everything should be properly arranged.

Finally.

Liu Bei also sent someone to send a letter to Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, so that Liu Yu could protect Zhongshan and Changshan.

Head of the city.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping stood by the city wall.

Looking at the dusk sky, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Conspiracy, the world is in chaos, and the heroes are rising together." I want to use Qingzhou to balance the forces of the world, it's difficult! ”

Yuan Shao's only one series of plans made Liu Bei anxious and had to deal with it carefully.

And the way to deal with it is still to use strength.

This made Liu Bei feel a sense of powerlessness.

Qingzhou, it's still too weak!

If it weren't for Zheng Ping's ability to integrate the forces of all parties, unite vertically and horizontally, and leverage strength, it would be almost impossible for Liu Bei to balance the forces of the world with the withered land of Qingzhou.

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, his eyebrows were not as sad as Liu Bei, and his eyes were more wise.

"If it is not difficult to make the will of the king stand in the world, how can it appear that the ability of the king is made?"

"To wither Qingzhou and mediate the world's forces in the palm of your hand, just like the poor and weak Qin State in the past deduced the general trend of the Six Kingdoms, those who can determine the general trend can determine the world."

"There are many virtuous and talented people in the world, but there are not many good people. It's not me who is arrogant, no one in this world can be on my right! ”

Zheng Ping's breath was calm, and between his words, the feather fan waved, pointing the country in front of him, and he was indescribably chic and free.

Touched by Zheng Ping's words, Liu Bei's worries in his heart were reduced a lot: "It is the luck of my life to have a conspiracy to help." ”

Small talk.

Liu Bei mentioned the five carts of Zuo Bo paper books sent to Jingzhou: "Xianmou, forgive me for taking the liberty of copying those five carts of Zuo Bo paper books in a short period of time?" ”

"The same is true of the previous "Book of Victory" and "Four Peoples Moon Order", and what is even more strange is that these handwriting are very similar."

Liu Bei has been hiding this question for a long time.

But because it involved the secrets of the Zheng family, it was inconvenient for Liu Bei to ask more.

When chatting about the five carts of Zuo Bo's paper books sent to Jingzhou just now, Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious anymore.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "I thought that the envoy had already asked his father, so I was not curious about these, it turns out that the envoy has not known about it?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "This belongs to the family secret of the conspiracy, how can I inquire at will?" If the conspiracy has any scruples, just say it casually, and there is no need to reply. ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "This is nothing that can't be said to be a secret." If it weren't for the fact that Qingzhou's food was not yet self-sufficient, I would have promoted this secret method a long time ago. ”

"When Zuo Bo went out to take refuge, I bought the craftsmen and paper-making utensils of Zuo Bo's paper workshop, and at the same time obtained Zuo Bo's consent: he provided paper-making technology, and I continued to name it Zuo Bo Paper."

"After I had Zuobo paper, I set up a printing workshop, carved words with clay, and fired a large number of clay movable type for typesetting and printing."

"So that you can understand the clay movable type as an official seal, a clay and a word, when you use it, you will typeset it into a sentence, and then dip it with ink and rub it on Zuobo paper."

"With the current printing level of the Zheng Family Workshop, it will take about three months to print those five carts of books."

Liu Bei was taken aback: "Only three months to print those five carts of books?" If it is transcribed manually, it may not be completed in these three years! ”

Zheng Ping smiled: "If it really takes three years, how can I be willing to give Liu Biao five car books?" ”

"But when these five cars of books arrived in Xiangyang, it was enough for Liu Biao to see the sincerity of the envoy!"

"After all, these five carts of books, even if they are sold to Liu Biao, you can get a lot of money and food, not to mention that the envoy is just giving books and borrowing grain!"

Donating books does not require Liu Biao to return the books.

But borrowing grain, Liu Bei needs to repay the grain.

Giving books is a personal affair, and borrowing food is a public matter.

Unless Liu Biao didn't want his name as a thief, it would be impossible to refuse Liu Bei's request to borrow grain.

Liu Bei's worries in his heart were a little less, and he said half-jokingly: "Xianmou, now that you are a don't drive in Qingzhou, are you really going to let Kong Xiang's daughter wait for three years as promised?" ”

"Why don't you choose a good day and get married?"

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Let's wait a little longer." This is a little more prepared to make Ah Su leave a better memory. ”

"Qingzhou has not really gained a foothold in the world now, if the official business is delayed because of the marriage, it will not only leave a regret for Asu, but also make Qingzhou increase the crisis."

"Ah Su also knows the righteousness, she will wait for me."

Liu Bei saw Zheng Ping's polite refusal, and he no longer persuaded him.

Yanzhou, Dongjun.

You Heng, who was ordered to lobby Yanzhou celebrities, came to a mansion in Puyang and handed over a letter of worship.

In the mansion, a middle-aged Confucian with an upright and strong face was writing with a pen.

The vigorous and powerful small seal is slightly murderous.

"Outside the door, there is a self-proclaimed plain Youheng, handing over a prayer post." The doorman handed You Heng's prayer note to the middle-aged Confucian student.

Youheng?

The middle-aged Confucian frowned slightly.

The name You Heng has been quite famous in Yanzhou in the past six months.

can speak well, and is good at speaking, and likes to comment on the wise men of various counties, and few can enter your eyes.

But because You Heng is not famous, many scholars would rather be rated as "mediocre" by You Heng, and let You Heng comment on it.

If you look down on it, you won't comment.

"Mediocre talent" is already quite talented!

The middle-aged Confucian has no heart, but he is afraid that You Heng will comment on a "rude person" and cause stigma in vain.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged Confucian put down his pen and straightened his clothes to see Youheng.

"Chen Gong, a native of Dongjun, has seen Mr. You."

"Taking the liberty to come to see Chen Yicao is rude."

Chen Gong looked at You Heng with some surprise.

It is rumored that You Heng is a person whose eyes are above the top, how can he be so humble and polite today?

Chen Gong, who was puzzled, invited You Heng to enter and asked, "Mr. You are here today, why is it that you are here?" ”

You Heng said frankly: "Now that it is the time of spring ploughing, Chen Yicao can't bear to look at the people of Yanzhou, has the spring ploughing been delayed because of the war?" ”

Chen Gong's eyes lit up: "Where is Mr. You working now?" ”

You Heng did not hide it: "Appreciated by the Qingzhou pastor, now he has been appointed as the state pastor to persuade him to engage in it!" ”

Chen Gong pondered his words: "Mr. You, this is trying to persuade Qingzhou Liu to make peace?" But alas, you've found the wrong person. I'm just a small Dongjun Councilor, and I don't have that much ability to stop the war between Yanzhou Thorn Shi and Taishan Taishou. ”

You Heng sighed and got up: "I thought that Chen Yicao was just outspoken, so he came thousands of miles to visit, but I didn't expect that he was also a timid mouse, it seems that there is no one in Yanzhou." ”

"Farewell!"

Chen Gong saw that You Heng was about to leave without saying a word, so he hurriedly put away his temptation: "You are slow to do it, just a joke just now." ”

You Heng snorted coldly: "The people take food as the sky, spring plowing is a national event, I came for the people, but Chen Yicao insulted me with jokes." A place of filth and filth is not enough! ”

Chen Gong's cold sweat flowed out, and then he remembered that the person in front of him had always had a poisonous tongue in Yanzhou.

"You are doing, it is indeed my fault for this, and I apologize to you." Chen Gong bowed deeply: "Don't you want to discuss how to stop Liu Yanzhou from temporarily striking the army?" ”

There is something to do today, and the manuscript has been used up, and the update is late.

The third update will be added today, sorry.
