524. Chapter 524: Fame and Fortune
When Sun Qian heard Jian Yong's words, he frowned and said, "What does Xianhe's words mean?" ”
is different from Jian Yong, a down-and-out grassroots scholar, Sun Qian has a world-famous teacher, and he is also highly respected by Zheng Xuan. Even Sun Qian was an official in the state at that time, because of Zheng Xuan's recommendation.
Who is Zheng Xuan?
That is one of the few great Confucians in the entire Han Dynasty, and there are countless children under him. Even if it is a great Confucian like Cai Yong, his influence on the Han Dynasty is not as good as Zheng Xuan.
Therefore, although Sun Qian is now serving under Liu Bei, he often thinks that Jian Yong is not as good as himself. Moreover, Sun Gan, who has received an orthodox education, is also a little unaccustomed to Jian Yong's daily behavior, thinking that he is insulting Sven.
Fortunately, Sun Qian is not the kind of narrow-minded person, but compared with Jian Yong, who has a free and easy personality, he is more rigid.
However, Jian Yong is dissolute and uninhibited, but he never cares about small things. In addition, he is Liu Bei's fellow villager and friend, and he is also highly valued by Liu Bei.
But the friendship between the two is not very close.
Sun Qian would not deliberately target Jian Yong in the past, but today he is discussing military affairs, which is related to the life and death of Yuzhou. Jian Yong was still so frivolous, which couldn't help but make Sun Qian secretly dissatisfied in his heart.
Jian Yong didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Sun Qian's words, he continued to shake his head and said: "The lord thinks that he needs to rescue Gongsun Bogui, just send troops; If you don't think you need rescue, you don't need to worry, that's all. ”
When Sun Qian heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he said loudly: "It's really nonsense, how can a military event be such a child's play?" ”
Jian Yong didn't pay attention to Sun Qian at all, but just looked at Liu Bei with a smile.
Liu Bei also frowned slightly, and secretly thought in his heart: "Although Xianhe is usually unkempt and uninhibited, he never does this when he encounters major events. Could it be that there is something mysterious in his words? ”
Liu Bei pondered and meditated for a long time, but he never thought of any mystery in Jian Yong's words, and immediately couldn't help asking: "Xianhe only said it clearly, why did he come to test me?" ”
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Jian Yong's face turned straight, sat up straight, and said, "Yong did not test the lord, but told the truth. The lord might as well just refer to his own heart and imagine whether he should save Gongsun Bogui or not. ”
Liu Bei was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Bei has always been united by kindness and righteousness, and Gongsun Bogui is not only a classmate and friend with me, but also a great favor to Liu Bei. ”
"If you don't come to the rescue today because you are afraid of Yuan Shao, I'm afraid you won't be at ease in your life."
When Jian Yong heard this, he laughed twice and said, "In that case, what else do you need to consider?" The lord directly raised the army and went to rescue Gongsun Bogui! ”
Sun Gan shouted loudly: "This matter must not be done, the lord has never occupied the entire Yuzhou, and because of Yuan Shu, there is a chance that the people of Yuzhou will flee from their hometowns." ”
"Although the lord has worked hard and slowly won the hearts of the people, his strength is still the weakest existence among the princes. In addition, because of Liu Jingzhou, the lord also had a grudge with Jiangdong Sun Bofu. ”
"If the lord leads his troops to attack Yuan Benchu at this time, not only will he have a bad relationship with the powerful Yuan Benchu, but Jiangdong Sun Bofu will even take this opportunity to attack Yuzhou. In this way, the foundation of the lord will not be secured! ”
Sun Gan's voice was fierce, and Liu Bei was stunned when he said it, and he hesitated again.
Jian Yong's face was straight, and he said: "Gongyou's words are wrong, the lord has always been kind and righteous in the four seas, which makes the princes respect and the people return to their hearts." ”
It's like the lord was a man of no law at the time, but because he gave up his foundation to rescue Xuzhou, he got the reputation of Nuoda. Even though the army was defeated at that time, the people of the world admired what the lord did. ”
"The friendship between Gongsun Bogui and the lord is known to everyone in the world. If the lord stood by and watched at this time and did not send troops to rescue Gongsun Bogui, he would definitely lose the hope of the world. ”
"Those who do big things are not informal, so why are they afraid of temporary gains and losses? Sun Bofu was leading his troops to attack Shanyue, even if the lord was at war with Yuan Shao, he might not be able to divide his troops to attack Yuzhou. ”
What's more, Yuzhou is the land of four wars, and the princes look around. Although the lord is now the shepherd of a state, he is surrounded by five powerful princes, like a tiger in a cage and a dragon swimming in the shallows. ”
"If we don't break this deadlock as soon as possible, sooner or later it will be destroyed by others."
"Rescue Gongsun Bogui to attack Yuan Benchu, and if you win, you can seize a large territory and expand your power. Even if the army is defeated and loses Yuzhou, it is just a shackle and a cage. ”
On the other hand, the loss of his inheritance to save his friends will be praised by all the world. With a reputation, why be afraid that he won't be able to make a comeback one day? ”
Jian Yong's words shocked everyone present, and Liu Bei's eyes flickered.
On the surface, Liu Bei is now the pastor of a state, and his reputation is high, and only he understands the hardships.
As Jian Yong said, Yuzhou is the place of four wars, Guanzhong Chen Xu, Yanzhou Yuan Shao, Xuzhou Cao Cao, Yangzhou Sun Ce, Jingzhou Liu Biao, these five powerful princes, surrounded the entire Yuzhou.
This feeling of being watched by the princes is not pleasant. This is also why, Liu Bei not only formed an alliance with Liu Biao, but also desperately showed favor to Chen Xu.
Liu Bei is not a fool, when Wen Zhao named him the pastor of Yuzhou, it was just to make him a buffer for Guanzhong and the rest of the princes.
Living in the besieged Yuzhou, it was very difficult for Liu Bei to develop. In particular, a large number of people in Yuzhou have flowed into Guanzhong, and Liu Bei, who has no people's foundation, has no possibility of development and growth.
Surrounded by princes, the people in the territory are very scarce. It can be said that the land of Yuzhou is like chicken ribs for Liu Bei, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Jian Yong's suggestion is undoubtedly very bold and even crazy. However, if you think about it carefully, this is Liu Bei's best way out now.
Attack Yuan Shao with all his might, and if he wins, his power will expand and he will have a chance to take off. Even if the army is defeated and loses Yuzhou, Liu Bei will leave a reputation for giving up his foundation to save his friends.
In the Han Dynasty, reputation was an extremely important thing. For ordinary people, having a reputation is equivalent to having a high-ranking official.
For the princes, with fame, there will be a steady stream of talents to come to them.
It is said that in history, Liu Bei wandered around in the first half of his life, doing nothing, and was useless. In fact, compared with those princes who don't want to be destroyed, Liu Bei has accumulated enough reputation in the process of displacement.
This led to his later ability to carp and leap into the dragon gate and fly into a dragon for nine days.
Although fame is not a territory, it is not a territory, sometimes the role of this thing is even far beyond the territory and territory. In the first half of Liu Bei's life, although he did not lay a fixed territory, he gained a more important reputation than the territory.
Fame has always been equated with profit, and with fame, benefits will naturally roll in.
