"Secretly slandering the lord every day, what, are you a thief in your heart?"

When Dian Wei heard this, he frowned: "What? I am a loyal minister. ”

"Not next time!" Zhang Han glared at him arrogantly, and at the same time added in his heart unless I say hello first, you agree.

"Hehe," Dian Wei smiled kindly and said in a low voice: "I haven't drunk alcohol for two meals today, and the night is still long, sir, let's go back and have some wine?" ”

"Prohibition!" Zhang Han glared at him, "Drink." ”

……

Back at home, the guards came to inform Cao Gong that he had sent someone to remove the hundred jars of wine stored in the wine cellar in the backyard today.

"The lord said that since the Su Wei Camp has promulgated a ban on alcohol, it should be carried out to the end, and these fine wines of the country should be sent to reward the meritorious soldiers."

Zhang Han and Dian Wei looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes were obviously blaming each other.

Zhang Han blamed him for not hiding it well, and had already asked him to find a separate suburban village and hide the wine in it, so he was lazy; Dian Wei blamed this stupid prohibition, now it's okay, snap, the happiness is gone.

he~tui！ Cao thief!

Zhang Han suddenly began to say in his heart, but he was still very attentive, "The lord has done the right thing, and it should be distributed to other meritorious soldiers." ”

"To raise soldiers and raise soldiers, you must raise them on weekdays before you can use them for a while."

After resting for three days, Zhang Han dispatched Gao Shun from Xiahoudun's army to accompany him with 800 horsemen.

On the way to the journey, Zhang Han had no time to think about certain things, until he stopped by the river on the outskirts of a city to rest, and finally understood some of Cao Cao's intentions.

He put a stone in front of him, and talked about the situation to himself, and there was a heroic and upright general with a cold face on the side, looking behind his back, and at the same time listening carefully, he was discussing and talking with Zhang Han all the way.

Dian Wei went down to the river to catch fish as soon as he arrived at the river, and at this time he had reached the center of the river.

This general is naturally Gao Shun.

Zhang Han divided the three stones into triangles and said, "The Shu people, the local clan, and the Danyang soldiers are divided into three factions. ”

"Tao Qian took office because the Danyang soldiers were the team, and after quelling the rebellion in the territory, he stabilized the party, so he won the support of the clan, such as the Chen clan and other big clans."

"And if you want to get out of the control of the clan, you need to rely on other factions to check and balance the appointment of officials, so I support the talents from the Shu people."

In other words, Tao Qian used hard support to achieve a tripartite trade-off, and coerced each other before he could gradually withdraw; And I, Yanzhou, is to advocate meritocracy to achieve it, but everyone's goal is the same. ”

In order to reduce the control of the clan, take back some of the power that is controlled, that is, centralization.

It's all in trouble, I'm the head of one party, and I still need to obey the control of your clan, otherwise the officials under my hands will immediately disobey the yang and yin, the shortage of soldiers, the lack of food and grass, and the control of people everywhere, so what do I want to start a business!? Is it sad in vain?

"And Sun Gan, although he was born in the Shuren faction, he is a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, and he is quite famous, and he can be called a figure in this vein."

It can be imagined that for the identity of "Zheng Xuan's disciple", their entire family needs to spend much energy and money, even if it is just a place for a large class disciple.

Not only his Sun family, but anyone who is not from a family but has worked hard to get to this position has invested too much, which can be called a big gamble! You can't afford to lose.

"The Shu people are a check and balance on the local clan Chen clan, and the two parties are in a competitive relationship, and among the Shu people, there are other families that can support and rise......" Speaking of this, Zhang Han looked up at Gao Shun and said, "Mi clan." ”

Gao Shun's beard swayed for a moment, his expression was unmoved, and he nodded lightly: "Not bad." ”

"Oh? Brother Gao knows about the Mi family? ”

"I don't know."

You're a good chicken...... Zhang Han thought he had connections, but when he spoke like this, he gave people the illusion that he was very compelling.

Indifferent, concise, nodding and smiling first, whether you know it or not, and then admit it calmly when asked...... Learned.

However, Zhang Han also figured out this section, had some countermeasures in his heart, and at the same time understood Cao Cao's kindness and sacrificial wine.

This trip to solicit, no matter which party it is, there is always something to gain, Sun's, Mi's, and Chen Deng's are all possible.

But Chen Deng does not represent the Chen family, after all, they are a big family, and they cannot speak the same thing.

"It should be no problem, I already have luck," Zhang Han looked at his [heart] attribute is no longer empty, but has one more [luck: 5], maybe something good will happen?

Smack.

Just as I thought about it, in the middle of the three stones that had been laid out just now, a fish jumped in from the shallow shore and slapped it crackly.

Zhang Han: "......"

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Liu Bei led 3,000 soldiers and horses from Gongsun Chan to help, and there were 1,800 elites in his own department, and the rest were funded by Gongsun Zhan.

Before leaving, Liu Bei specially asked for a commander of the cavalry of the guards beside him, Zhao Yun, the word Zilong.

After the four brothers arrived in Xuzhou, they came with great interest, but after coming, Liu Bei frowned and found that things were not simple.

Cao Cao did not slaughter the city, did not plunder, and even immediately reduced taxes for the people whenever he seized the city, and even put grain to feed the people.

What does this mean? On behalf of him, he did what he wanted to do, and Tao Qian became a thief.

There are constant rumors in the territory, mainly circulating two kinds of remarks, one is that Tao Qian and Que Xuan were originally a gang, trying to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on their own, and took the lead in disrespecting the Han family, but they were forced by Cao Cao's army to kill Que Xuan and compensate Cao Cao with a large amount of money, food and people; The second is that Tao Qian held a grudge and intended to kill Cao Cao's father in order to plunder Cao's family property.

These two rumors are extremely unfavorable to Tao Qian, if Liu Bei is on the same front with Tao Qian at this time, I am afraid that there will be no argument.

But no matter what, after coming to Xuzhou and hearing about Cao Cao's behavior, Liu Bei was shocked, this is by no means Cao Cao's style, but the people all pointed at Tao Qian, but said that Cao Cao was benevolent and righteous.

That's not right.

Therefore, after Liu Bei came to Xuzhou to garrison, he was like sitting on pins and needles.

In the mansion, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, who was handsome and extraordinary in silver armor, walked together in the inner courtyard, and there was a Confucian student behind the two, slightly old, thin, and arrogant.

After returning from outside, the faces of the two were not quite right, Zhao Yun was even a little pale and sluggish, and his momentum was like an empty sack, and he couldn't stand up straight.

When he arrived at the main hall, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Xuande Gong, in the lower Changshan to Youzhou, in order to pursue the implementation of benevolence and righteousness, and now General Gongsun killed Liu Youzhou and lost the hearts of the people, so he ordered me to help, the north thought that Xuzhou was plotted, and Tao Ding also made such a statement when he came to ask for help, but after he came, it was Tao Gongzu who rebelled and coveted other people's property, which caused this war." ”

"Xuande Gong," Zhao Yun stepped forward, his eyes were full of righteous enthusiasm, and he clenched his fists and said: "I think that if it is not really something that is difficult to wash, there will never be rumors in the territory, even if it is deliberately done by the secret whistle in Yanzhou, it will not reach the point where Xuzhou is full of civil and military powerlessness." ”

"It is to follow Xuande Gong to help Xuzhou with this marching order, Zilong can't bear to see the soldiers and brothers die for this, and he hopes that Xuande Gong will consider it."

His words are so sonorous and powerful, this is that his mind has been decided, Liu Bei is dignified, elegant, and heroic, at this time, he looked at Zhao Yun, his voice was grand and low, and he said with a smile: "Listen to Zilong's meaning, are you planning to go back?" ”

"What does Xuande Gong think?" Zhao Yun didn't express his position immediately, and gave an ambiguous word to ask Liu Bei's opinion.

In his opinion, Liu Bei must be the king of benevolence and virtue, and the choices in the face of such a situation are naturally different, and at the same time, when they were in Youzhou, the two fell in love with each other, and they took the opportunity to ask their hearts.

Liu Bei laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the shoulder a few times, and said: "I really didn't misunderstand Zilong, it was in vain that I asked Brother Bo Jue for it three times and five times, but since I should undertake the personnel, I should take the end of the war as my responsibility." As for me, ha, if you come, you will be safe, I will naturally not leave, but if Zilong wants to go back, I will hold a banquet with my second brother and third brother to see me off. ”

"No," Zhao Yun heard this, his expression was slightly comforted, but he was a little embarrassed, and hugged his fists and said: "What Xuan Degong said is indeed reasonable, and he should take the end of the war as his responsibility, and this is just the words of the people of Xuzhou, and Tao Gong also talked about the bitterness, and I don't know which is right or wrong......"

Zhao Yun's mind was entangled, in fact, because the situation in Xuzhou didn't want him to think, as soon as he came, he could rush to the aid of the righteous army and defeat Cao Cao's attempt to hegemon, but they were faintly standing in the position of the unrighteous army.

In addition, he has not returned to his hometown since he defected to Youzhou Baima, and he has not seen his eldest brother for many years, Zhao Yun is also homesick, and he planned to come to Xuzhou this time, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will return to his hometown to see his eldest brother after everything subsides.

Now this situation is like this, and the intention is to be angry, which makes him even more resigned, but Xuan Degong's words made him stabilize his mind a little, and he will be at peace when he comes.

The two were about to enter the hall to sit down and discuss carefully, but a stubborn school knife hand behind them hurriedly entered the door again, caught up and said: "Lord, Tao Xuzhou sent someone to chase after you, please be sure to go to the government office again." ”

Liu Bei's eyes sank, and he suddenly turned around and frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

……

Xiao Pei.

Xi Zhicai led the army back to live in this city, and as soon as Zhang Han lived in his house, he received the news, came to meet, and brought Sun Qian with him.

Since the capture of Sun Gan, except for one day when he was a little slow and let him be whipped a few times, Xi Zhi has always treated him politely.

"Gongyou, Bo often comes here with the intention of my lord, you can have a few more drinks with him tonight, and if you change your mind, you can tell him at any time."

Sun Qian just smiled lightly when he heard this, and nodded his head, but he didn't say anything, but Zhang Bochang's handsome and elegant face immediately appeared in his mind.

But he is a little arrogant, and he is also right ......, his surname is Zhang, arrogant Zhang.

The situation in Xuzhou is precarious, and depending on his ambitions, then listen to his plans and plans, and then make a decision.
