Chapter 263: Zhuge Comes to Vote
Liu Bei was still worried about the people of Xuzhou before, lest Cao Cao would be angry with the people of Xuzhou because of his father's enmity and kill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Who would have thought that history had turned another corner here, and Yuan Shao actually took the opportunity to make a brazen move and directly take Cao Cao's roots. Liu Bei secretly sighed that Yuan Shao was shameless, and at the same time, he also reminded himself in his heart. Don't underestimate Yuan Shao. Don't be the one in history who is rated as "Thin-hearted and resourceful; Yuan Shao, who did big things and cherished his life, saw small profits and died", was confused. This time Yuan Shao's shot can be described as a thunderous blow, how decisive! If he really succeeds, the situation in the world will change completely. Fortunately, he is here, and he will not let Yuan Shao seize Yanzhou no matter what.
Of course, Lao Cao will not be defeated by Yuan Shao so easily. These two are heroes among people, heroes in troubled times. If you don't let them fight first, and then make a move after losing both sides, is it possible to take over Yan and Hebei in one go? The breeze blew, the books rattled, Liu Bei woke up from his fantasy and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Qingzhou is thriving, but it's a pity that if you want to become a fat man in one bite, you still have some strength. Besides, even if it really happens, under the counterattack of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, at least he will have to be greatly injured. How will you face the princes around you? The gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, it is better to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the king. Low-key development is king.
On the second day, the government held a meeting, and all the ministers arrived. Liu Bei said: "Today, Yuan Benchu took advantage of Meng De to attack Xuzhou and sent troops to attack Yan. Although Meng De returned to his teacher to save him, half of Yanzhou had already fallen into Yuan Benchu's hands. I, Qingzhou, have a good relationship with Meng De, and I want to raise troops to save me, what do you think? ā
At the bottom of the stairs, Guan Yu came out to ask for battle: "Lord, if you want to attack Jizhou, you are willing to be a pioneer!" ā
As soon as Guan Yu took the lead, the other generals stopped doing it and stood up one after another, howling one by one to ask for battle. The troubled times are the era when the value of soldiers can be maximized.
Liu Bei looked at the group of militants under the stairs, muttered and didn't speak, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use it for a while, at this time, the military heart is available, and they will not be afraid of war, Liu Bei is still very comfortable in his heart.
Xun Yu glanced at each other with his colleagues, and then said: "Lord, Yuan Benchu took care of Xinyi in vain and attacked Yanzhou. His division is unknown, even if he takes advantage of it at this time, he will definitely be defeated by Cao Zhijun in the future. ā
When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "Everyone in the world says that Yanzhou will be defeated, but I can't imagine that Wen Ruo has new insights." Please also try to talk to me. ā
Xun Yu said: "My lord, Yuan Benchu is unknown, and Cao Yuanjun is to protect the family and the land; Yuan Benchu fought across states, and Cao Yuanjun took advantage of the geographical advantage; Yuan Benchu came to Jizhou, and there was no love for the army and the people, but after many battles, Jizhou was tired, and the army had no fighting spirit; On the other hand, Cao Yuanjun, although he is new to Yanzhou, has strict laws. However, it used the method of Qingzhou to reclaim land in Yanzhou and divide the land among the hungry people. He also led the army to fight the bandits and appeased the place. It is very much expected of Yanzhou. And Cao made Jun under the command of the martial arts, and the whole was united. Non-Jizhou is comparable. There are several pros and cons here, and under the rise of one and the other, how can Yuan Benchu get what he wants and occupy Yanzhou. ā
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Wen Ruo's words won my heart. ā
He also said: "In the past, when I heard about Yanzhou, I asked Meng De if he wanted me to help. It's a pity that Meng De was first changed by Taiwei, and then he was betrayed by his old friends, and he was suspicious and didn't dare to believe me. but he led the army away in a hurry. What a pity! That's right. The first army of Qingzhou can garrison Gaotang and contain Jizhou. Plains, Jinan counties, more grain, grass, clothing and medicine. The two families were at war, and the people suffered. If there are displaced people who come to Qingzhou because of the war, the officials of the two counties must settle with me. If there are those who are willing to settle down in Qingzhou, they are still allocated to the fields. There must be no mistakes. ā
The ministers praised: "The lord is benevolent." ā
When everything is done, the ministers disperse. Liu Bei left Xun Yu to discuss matters.
Liu Bei said: "Wenruo, the Central Plains is in chaos, and the princes are fighting. I don't know when it will be closed. Fortunately, thanks to the power of the kings, we can enjoy the paradise of Qingzhou. However, the world is in turmoil, and the people are fleeing and dying to come and go to my Qingzhou. Qingzhou has little land, which is not enough to support the army and civilians. I heard that although Liaodong is cold and bitter, but there are many people in the land, I want to vigorously develop Liaodong to support Qingzhou. I don't know what Wen Ruo can teach me? ā
Xun Yu said: "The lord has already made a plan, why ask me." ā
Liu Bei rubbed his brows in distress and said, "Han Sheng's letter has rejected the position of Taishou. It is said that Liaodong is vast, and political affairs are not his forte. Please send me another wise man. He is willing to be the lieutenant of Liaodong and lead the army to assist Taishou to defend one side for me. Alas, I'm also worried about the choice of Taishou now. ā
Liu Bei is indeed worried about the selection of Liaodong Taishou. There are a lot of talents in his entrainment. But the situation in Liaodong is special. It is located in a border county, and the situation is complicated. It is necessary not only to guard against Liu Yu, but also against the Goguryeo people. And the land route is blocked by Youzhou, and Qingzhou can only be traveled by sea. In this way, it is necessary to develop Liaodong in an all-round way and build Liaodong into the rear and granary of Qingzhou. Then you need an experienced and resourceful minister. The appointment of Huang Zhong was also a last resort. After all, Huang Zhong has been in Liaodong for a long time and is familiar with the situation. And his favorite candidate Xun Yu, he was reluctant to let him go to Liaodong. After all, the Central Plains is having a lot of events, and it is the time to employ people.
Xun Yu heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning. frowned, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry. A certain person can be the Taishou of Liaodong. ā
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Wen Ruo said quickly, who is this?" ā
Xun Yu said with a smile: "The lord is really a fan of the authorities, Lu Zhonglang used to level Jiujiang, hit the yellow scarf, made great achievements, and once guarded Jiujiang." The lord wants to rule Liaodong, who is Shelu Zhonglang? ā
Liu Bei was angry and funny after hearing this, Xun Yu actually hit his father-in-law with the idea. However, his father-in-law, Lu Zhi, is indeed a very suitable candidate. He can lead the army to kill the enemy when he gets on the horse, and he can govern the people when he gets off the horse. Not to mention rich political experience, he can be in a situation without chaos. It is simply more suitable to be placed on the side of Liaodong's government. It's just that Lu Zhi is not working in his Qingzhou system now, and in addition to teaching at the academy every day, he tastes wine with three or five friends. Now invite him to the old man's house to go out of the mountain, will he be able to eat physically? Is Jiu Niang willing?
Liu Bei was full of contradictions in his heart. After returning to the inner house for dinner, he teased a few children. I took Jiuniang for a walk along the inner garden. Over the years, Jiuniang's body has gradually matured, like a ripe fruit, becoming more and more attractive. Liu Bei was by Jiu Niang's side, looking at his wife's cloud sideburns, and couldn't help but be a little confused for a while. It took a long time to hear Jiu Niang's coquettishness: "Husband! ā
Jiuniang looked at Lang Jun's appearance in a daze, her heart was as sweet as honey, but her face was still red. Liu Bei looked at the beautiful appearance of Jiu Niang Xiafei's cheeks, and just wanted to talk to Jiu Niang about Lu Zhi's thoughts, he had already flown out of the clouds. The hibiscus tent is warm, and the spring breeze is a night. Golden wind and jade dew, the joy of the world.
The next day, Liu Bei, who was in high spirits, came to Xun Yu again and said, "Wen Ruo, I want to ask my uncle to help me." However, I am afraid that my uncle is old and frail, and Liaodong is lonely overseas. What can I do about it? ā
Liu Bei, who enjoyed the extreme gentleness last night, told his wife that he wanted to invite Lu Zhi to Liaodong to preside over the military and political affairs before going to bed. Lu Heng frowned. I didn't say much, but I was worried that my father was old, and it was nothing to go to Liaodong, if my body and bones couldn't bear it, what if I ruined my husband's big business.
Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and this is also the reason. Now you can only cross the sea to Liaodong. I heard that many soldiers were seasick and vomited upside down. And Lu Zhi is in his fifties this year. The historical Lu Zhi died last year. Now that he is here, he has also changed Lu Zhi's fate. Now Lu Zhi is not only fine, but also alive and well. Drinking and feasting with a group of old friends and old people, I was very busy. But if Lu Zhi is really allowed to go to Liaodong, can he adapt to the toss along the way? If Lu Zhi had three longs and two shorts on the way to Liaodong, how would he face his wife and eldest brother?
Xun Yu also made a mistake this time. If it is an ordinary subordinate, just let Liu Bei give the order. But Lu Zhi's identity is special...... Xun Yu said: "Lord, why don't you go to Lu Mansion first and see if Lu Zhonglang has this intention?" ā
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Let's do it first." ā
The two talked about other things, and then they parted. Liu Bei was alone in the room, thinking about the rest of the things. Well, in winter, it is necessary to control the river defense, the top priority. Liu Bei picked up the pen and drew a circle on the document. While he was busy, someone suddenly came to report: "My lord, someone outside the house asked to see him, and he claimed to be the envoy of Jingzhou." ā
Liu Bei frowned, thought for a while, and said, "And invite him in." ā
After a while, a middle-aged Confucian with a slightly chubby face was ushered in. Liu Beiduan was in the main position and said, "Who is Your Excellency, who dares to falsely claim to be the envoy of Jingzhou?" ā
The middle-aged Confucian priest bowed and said: "Lang evil Zhuge Xuan, meet Liu Yuanjun." is indeed a Jingzhou official, and he dare not hide it from Liu Zhijun. ā
Liu Bei said: "Although I have been friends with Liu Jingzhou for a long time, we have nothing to do with it. Jingzhou is peaceful, what did Liu Jingzhou do? And from Jingzhou to here, there were many wars along the way. The business route has long been cut off, let alone a messenger? Where did you come from, Hugh has to hide it from me! ā
Zhuge Xuan bowed again and sighed: "Make Jun Mingjian." A certain is Liu Jingzhou's subordinate officer. The brother died of illness the previous time, and he returned home to cook. The nephew is young, so he can't rest assured. I wanted to move my family to Jingzhou. Who would have thought that Xuzhou would be in trouble with thieves and the road would be blocked. Xuzhou is not a good land, and it cannot be stayed for a long time. Looking at the world, only the envoy is a pure land outside the world. So the whole family came to vote. On the way, thinking about the ministers under the command of the king, all of them were not a momentary choice. I'm afraid that the envoy doesn't know that I, Zhuge Xuan, but calls myself the envoy of Jingzhou. I hope that the king will forgive the sin and not blame it. ā
Liu Bei was dumbfounded. What is the situation? Didn't Zhuge Xuan drag his family and insist on going to Jingzhou to vote for Liu Biao, and finally died of illness on the way? Why did you turn a corner and run here? Hey, is it okay for you to quit your job and change your boss without saying hello?
In fact, Liu Bei was wrong. In history, Zhuge Xuan insisted on going to Jingzhou, not how loyal he was to Liu Biao. But in the world at that time, only Jingzhou was really stable, and there was almost no war. Except, of course, Yizhou, which is too far away. Zhuge Xuan didn't want to be much of an official under Liu Biao, so he wanted to settle down a large family and take care of the few babies left by his brother. At that time, Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, and Youchao became a pot of porridge. Of course, Zhuge Xuan is going to Jingzhou. This was basically the instinctive choice of the scholars at that time. There are not too many people who avoid trouble in Jingzhou and do not go out of Liu Biao......
Of course, now there is a better choice for Liu Bei. How does Zhuge Xuan choose, do you still need to think about it?
