Liu Dai secretly said that Zheng Ping was rude, and he was worried that the delaying plan of having an unpleasant quarrel with Liu Bei would not work, so he had to explain: "I already have another Wang Yu under my command, Mr. Zhongde is elegant and not famous, and he is unwilling to compete with Wang Yu." ”

"I also admire this kind of mind."

Cheng Yu also said: "The old man has an old illness, and it is okay to occasionally make plans for Liu Yuanjun, but if he is in the position of another driver, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it." ”

Liu Dai and Cheng Yu's expressions and reactions, Zheng Ping can see them all.

Such rude instigation, these two people even held back!

Either the two of them are magnanimous, or they have ghosts.

But Liu Dai is eager to kill, and Cheng Yu is rigid and violent, how can he be magnanimous?

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, and his tone changed: "Liu Yanzhou and Xuande Gong are both relatives of the Han family and have the friendship of the same clan. Since Mr. Zhongde is idle in Yanzhou, why don't you temporarily transfer to the army and help Xuande Gong go to Chen to fight the thieves? ”

Liu Dai's brows furrowed.

This is instigation, and directly start borrowing people?

was repeatedly provoked by Zheng Ping, and Liu Dai's tone became unkind: "Zheng Beijia, what do you mean?" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Liu Yanzhou, Xuande Gong respects the wise man the most, how can a talented person like Mr. Zhongde not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?" ”

"Although Mr. Zhongde has an old disease, there are four-wheeled vehicles in our army, which are quite stable, which can save Mr. Zhongde from fatigue."

Liu Dai brushed his sleeves and rose: "Liu Qingzhou, in the spirit of friendship with the same clan, I will be kind to you when you come to Fan County." But even though the people under your command have repeatedly despised me, you have said it! ”

Liu Bei pretended to scold Zheng Ping, and hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and got up to apologize: "Brother Gongshan, I misunderstood, I misunderstood!" This time I went to Chenliu, and Xianmou always advised me that the march was dangerous and should not be moved lightly. ”

"Later, when he saw that I insisted on sending troops, he said that there was a wise man under Brother Gongshan, Mr. Zhongde, who was quite good at military strategy, and persuaded me to seconded Mr. Zhongde to Brother Gongshan to accompany the army."

"But I don't want to take away the love of Brother Gongshan, so it's inconvenient to say it directly."

"It's rude to show that this is the case, and I also invite Brother Haihan of Gongshan."

"Drink this bottle of wine and apologize to Brother Gongshan."

Liu Bei raised the bottle and saluted Liu Dai solemnly, and then drank a full bottle.

Liu Daihu looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, and saw that Liu Bei's expression was sincere, and the anger in his heart also dissipated a lot.

"Recently, there are famous people in Yanzhou who want to come to the banquet, Xuande might as well stay for a few days, or there are famous people who are good at military strategy to go to the banquet." Liu Dai had an idea and took the opportunity to invite.

Liu Bei hesitated: "I'm afraid this won't work." I have to rush to Chenliu immediately, otherwise the military plane will be delayed. ”

Liu Dai said: "When marching and fighting, it is most taboo to underestimate the enemy's rash advance. When Xuande first came, he should first inquire about Chen Liu's information before making plans. Xuande should not shirk anymore. ”

"These Yanzhou celebrities are all because Xuande is coming, so they come here, how can Xuande brush off their admiration and admiration?"

Liu Bei's eyes were tangled, he hesitated for a long time, and then sighed lightly: "It's okay!" There is Brother Lao Gongshan! ”

After the feast.

Cheng Yu found Liu Dai privately and advised: "Liu Yuanjun, Liu Bei came to Fan County this time, beware of fraud." ”

"Fraud?" Liu Dai frowned: "Why did Mr. Zhongde make such a conclusion?" ”

Cheng Yu said in a condensed voice: "As far as I know, Beihai Zheng Xianmou is good at dancing with long sleeves and elegant rhetoric, but today he is reckless and rude, and his words are full of instigation. ”

"Liu Xuande seems to be sincere and sincere, but when he scolded Zheng Xianmou, he only said one or two words that didn't hurt or itch."

"Zheng Xianmou's instigation must have been instructed by Liu Xuande."

"At today's banquet, these two are testing Liu Yuanjun's reaction!"

Liu Dai's eyes narrowed: "Then what does Mr. Zhongde think is Liu Bei's purpose?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head: "The old man doesn't know!" But Liu Yuanjun was cautious, after all, it was more appropriate. ”

Liu Dai was a little impatient when he saw that Cheng Yu couldn't say Liu Bei's specific purpose: "Mr. Zhongde, if you are too cautious, Liu Xuande will definitely think that I am reluctant for him to stay in Fan County." ”

"If he leaves Fan County, how can I use delays?"

"If you really have doubts, it's better to visit Zheng Xianmou and test it."

"Stand down!"

Cheng Yu saw that Liu Dai didn't want to listen more, so he had to sigh and retreat.

Barracks in the city.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping sat opposite each other.

"Liu Gongshan and Cheng Zhongde endured the rude words of the plotter."

"Sure enough, Liu Gongshan went thirty miles out of the city to greet me, not because he wanted to treat me politely, but because he had other ideas."

this year.

Liu Bei's scheming is also growing rapidly.

Treating people with sincerity is Liu Bei's virtue.

But in a high position, it is impossible not to understand and learn about the scheming.

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and slowly fell: "Liu Dai's thoughts are not difficult to guess, he will not move in Fan County, he must want to wait and watch the results of the war between Chen Liu and Dongjun, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"And now, the war between Chen Liu and Dongjun is deadlocked, and Liu Dai definitely doesn't want Jun to intervene."

"Whether it is thirty miles out of the city to greet him, or the forbearance of today's banquet, and the admiration of Yanzhou celebrities, it is just a small trick by Liu Dai to delay time."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, picked up a chess piece, and did not fall for a long time: "Xianmou thinks, can Mr. Zhongde be used by me?" ”

Zheng Ping didn't think twice: "Although Cheng Zhongde is brave and good at strategy and knows military strategy, he is rigid by nature and has a lot of grievances with others. It is not suitable for today's Qingzhou. ”

"What's more, he is a member of the Yanzhou clan, and we can't give Cheng Zhongde enough benefits to serve sincerely."

Qingzhou's core civil and military affairs today are happy and harmonious.

This was a great advantage for Liu Bei over other forces, and Zheng Ping did not want to destroy it.

Compared with Cao Cao's meritocracy and not observing virtue, Liu Bei's way of employing people is to act first with virtue and second.

Although Cheng Yu is talented, his heart is more violent.

In addition, the Cheng family is a big family in Yanzhou, and they are unwilling to go out of Liu Dai if their interests are not enough, so they will not easily move the family into Qingzhou.

And in Qingzhou, Liu Bei couldn't settle such a big family for the time being.

Settling down a big clan means that the original scholars in Qingzhou will give up their interests, which is not desirable for the current Qingzhou.

Zheng Ping didn't want to upset the existing balance in Qingzhou for the sake of one Cheng Yu.

Liu Bei sighed lightly: "That's a pity." ”

Zheng Ping shook his fan and said: "You don't have to regret it!" It can't be used, but it can be good. Cheng Zhongde refused to go out to Liu Dai, and naturally he would not be interested in Liu Dai. ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "If this is the case, Mr. Zhongde will definitely find an opportunity to see me." ”

At this moment, Guan Hai came in to report: "Envoy, Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'a, asks to see." ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Just mentioning Mr. Zhongde, Mr. Zhongde is here, please!" ”

After a while, Cheng Yu entered.

Seeing Liu Bei sitting on one side of the chessboard, Cheng Yu sat on the other side of the chessboard knowingly: "I take the liberty to visit, and I am willing to play a game with Xuande Gong." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongde is a talented person, but he has to be merciful." ”

But seeing that between the falling sons, Liu Bei talked freely, and the words were full of good intentions, which made Cheng Yu a little overwhelmed.

Halfway through the chess game, Cheng Yu finally couldn't help but say bluntly: "How long is Xuande Gong going to stay in Fan County?" ”

Liu Bei didn't think about it: "Originally, I was going to leave tomorrow, but Liu Yanzhou was gracious, and I didn't know how to refuse." This military situation is like fire, it is really difficult to stay in Fan County, can Mr. Zhongde have a good plan to teach me? ”

Cheng Yu said: "As the saying goes, if two tigers fight, there will be an injury. Yuan Shu went north to compete with Yuan Shao, no matter whether he won or lost, his strength would be greatly damaged, why didn't Xuande Gong stay in Fan County for a month, and wait for Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to fight, and then look for a good opportunity to fight? ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "Yuan Shu betrays the alliance, I should personally ask for it, how can I fake it to others?" ”

Suddenly.

Zheng Ping entered from the outside, looking anxious: "Envoy, Yun Chang was defeated in Kuangting. ”

Liu Bei was shocked: "How can this be? ”

Zheng Ping said in a condensed voice: "The specific situation is not yet clear, but I can't stay in Fan County anymore, and I have to immediately organize the army to go to Chenliu." ”

Liu Bei suddenly got up and saluted Cheng Yu solemnly: "Mr. Zhongde will tell Brother Gongshan for me, and when I have repelled Yuan Shu, I will come back to apologize to Brother Gongshan." ”

After speaking, Liu Bei ignored Cheng Yu and left.

Cheng Yu was stunned on the spot, obviously not yet reacting.

After a while, Cheng Yu got up and left the camp and hurriedly came to see Liu Dai.

Hearing that Guan Yu was defeated in Kuangting, Liu Dairen was a little confused: "When did Guan Yu lose in Kuangting?" How could I not know? ”

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Yuanjun, Guan Yu's defeat is fake, and Liu Bei's departure is true." ”

Liu Dai was suddenly a little anxious: "Liu Bei went to Chenliu at this time, wouldn't it be a big deal for me?" ”

In a hurry, Liu Dai hurriedly rode his horse to the city gate to stop Liu Bei.

"Xuande, why don't you say goodbye?" Liu Dai shouted loudly.

Liu Bei saw Liu Dai coming alone, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Obey the edict to beg the thief, and capture the anti-thief Liu Dai for the general!" ”

Cui Yan's son took the lead, followed by Fan Sheng and Wei Gao.

In a panic, Liu Dai almost didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was dragged off the horse by Cui Hong.

Fan Sheng and Wei Gao went up together and held Liu Dai down.

Liu Dai was shocked and angry: "Liu Bei, how dare you do this?" ”

Liu Daibing at the city gate was also stunned one by one, completely unaware of what was happening.

Zheng Ping read out the text: "Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, did not know how to sympathize with the people of Yanzhou, but instead killed Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, Zheng Sui, the minister of Rencheng, and Cui Yan, the minister of Jibei, and attacked Taishan County and Chenliu County for no reason, intending to kill Taishan Taishou Yingshao and Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao. ”

"All kinds of evil deeds, there are violations of the laws of the court, as a minister of the court, but he does things against thieves, and he should be punished according to the law!"

"Today, there is Qingzhou Mu and Zhenxi General Xuande Gong, who is under the secret edict of the imperial court to beg for thieves."

"But Xuande Gong remembered that the soldiers were innocent and did not want to abuse the right of life and death, so he designed to capture the thief Liu Dai."

"Whoever surrenders is not guilty; Those who resist will be punished with the anti-thief! ”

The sound like a bell instantly shocked everyone.

Liu Dai stared at Liu Bei with big eyes like bull's eyes, and stared at Liu Bei viciously: "Liu Bei dog thief, you dare to fake the holy decree!" ”

"Shut up!" Cui Hong stepped on Liu Dai's head, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "The dog thief killed my father in vain, and he dares to quibble here!" ”

Liu Dai was even more annoyed when he was humiliated like this: "Little thief, do you dare to report your name?" ”

Cui Hong shouted: "Cui Hong, the son of the former Jibei Minister, is here!" Liu Dai dog thief, you kill my father, destroy my whole family, I can't wait to eat your flesh raw! ”

In the past, Cui Hong asked Zhang Fei for help, but Zhang Fei failed to drive his troops to Jibei because of Zhang Hong's dissuasion.

Zhang Fei, who felt guilty, sent Cui Hong to Liu Bei in Linzi City, and after Liu Bei's kind words and enlightenment, he asked Cui Hong to join the pro-guard camp and let Cui Hong wait for the opportunity.

Now that Liu Dai has been captured, Cui Hong's long-suppressed anger erupts at this moment.

Liu Dai knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't want to argue with Cui Hong, but looked at Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, everyone in the world knows that the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and you claim to be under the order of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it's not Dong Zhuo's order in secret!" ”

"I heard that Lu Zhi also became Dong Zhuo's eagle dog, can you, Lu Zhi's protégé, still be able to clear yourself?"

"I, Liu Dai, will die if I die today, and you Liu Bei will be spurned by the world!"

Seeing Liu Dai mention Lu Zhi, Liu Bei subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, and his eyes became gloomy.

"Envoy, don't be angry with Liu Dai's tricks." Zheng Ping reminded at the right time.

When Liu Bei heard this, his right hand holding the hilt of the sword loosened, and his eyes became fierce: "Liu Gongshan, you are good at killing the ministers of the imperial court, and you have set off a military disaster in Yanzhou to make the people suffer. I have been ordered to arrest you, and if you disagree, you can defend yourself to the Son of Heaven. ”

"Someone, put Liu Dai in the prisoner car, and send him to Chang'an immediately!"

Cui Hong asked for an order: "Envoy, the last general will ask for an order to escort Liu Dai." ”

But Liu Bei rejected Cui Hong's request.

Although Cui Hong was angry, he did not disobey Liu Bei's order, but his eyes became very fierce when he looked at Liu Dai.

When Wang Yu and Cheng Yu arrived, Liu Dai had already been escorted into the prison car.

"Liu Qingzhou, what are you doing?" Wang Yu was shocked.

Cheng Yu subconsciously took a step back and secretly touched the hilt of the sword.

Zheng Ping threw the text at Wang Yu: "Don't drive Wang, before taking office in the new Yanzhou Assassin History, you will do all the things in Yanzhou for you." ”

When Wang Yu looked at the text, he was stunned and froze on the spot.

Liu Bei bowed his hand to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Zhongde, I heard that you are from Dongjun, and I must also hope that the war in Dongjun can end as soon as possible." How about following the army? ”

Cheng Yu's hand that touched the hilt of the sword loosened, and he arched his hand and said, "Liu Qingzhou is righteous, how can I not obey." ”

If he can refuse, Cheng Yu will definitely refuse.

However, Liu Dai came to chase Liu Bei because of Cheng Yu's arraignment.

Now that Liu Dai has been captured alive, Liu Dai's cronies will definitely think that Cheng Yu betrayed Liu Dai.

Staying in Fan County at this time, Cheng Yu will inevitably be reprimanded by Liu Dai's cronies.

Outside the city.

The moon stars are scarce.

Liu Bei invited Cheng Yu to the handsome tent and comforted him with kind words: "Mr. Zhongde, are you still resentful of Fang Cai's deception?" ”

Cheng Yu sighed lightly: "Liu Gongshan committed suicide in vain, which frightened the people. Now that Xuande Gong has designed to capture Liu Gongshan alive, how can Yu have resentment. ”

"It's just that Xuande Gongsheng captured Liu Gongshan, but let go of Liu Gongshan's cronies, and he will definitely come to save Liu Dai. Yu may not be able to stay in Yanzhou for a long time in the future. ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Mr. Zhongde doesn't have to worry, what can a group of stupid thieves do?" ”

"He is in the new Yanzhou assassination history, and he still needs Mr. Zhongde's kind words and persuasion."

Right now.

Cui Hong arrived, and his tone was excited: "Envoy, Wang Yu drove troops to rob the prisoner car, but was surrounded by ambush soldiers, and Wang Yu was killed on the spot by Guan Duwei." ”

Cheng Yu's face changed greatly, and his eyes looked at Liu Bei, full of horror.
