309. Chapter 309: Liu Bei
As Tian Feng said, the soldiers of Jingzhou were good at water warfare, but they were not proficient in foot combat and cavalry warfare.
Jingzhou is not like Bingzhou, the people are fierce, and many people can ride horses. If Jingzhou wants to form cavalry, it is extremely difficult.
Even if Liu Biao can get the war horse, there will be no worries.
Although Chen Xu did not know how long the drought would last. However, in troubled times, there is nothing more precious than food.
Moreover, the war horses that were taken to Jingzhou to exchange grain with Liu Biao would definitely not be better than the Bingzhou cavalry themselves.
Tian Feng's strategy was not only agreed by Chen Xu, but even the rest of the people nodded one after another.
Even Zhang Yu, who had some holidays with Tian Feng, was amazed in his heart after listening to Tian Feng's explanation.
Chen Xu looked at the faces of the people under the tent, only Jia Xu did not react at all, and he was still the kind of ancient and modern without waves.
With a move in his heart, Chen Xu came to Jia Xu and asked, "I don't know what Wen He's opinion on this matter?" ”
Jia Xu heard Chen Xu's inquiry, so he bowed slightly, and then asked, "Are you sure that there will be a large-scale drought in the whole world?" ”
Looking at Jia Xu's burning eyes, Chen Xu remembered that in history, Cheng Yu made preserved human meat for Cao Cao, so he nodded fiercely and said, "Sure!" ”
Hearing Chen Xu's affirmative reply, a bright smile bloomed on Jia Xu's face.
"If it is really as the lord said, there will be a great drought, and I have a plan to make the lord seize the land of Guanzhong without blood."
Jia Xu's words made everyone in the state governor's mansion shocked and inexplicable.
In the first year of Xingping, the entire territory of the Han Dynasty was in turmoil.
said that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande had been serving under Gongsun Zhan's account. After the war broke out between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Liu Bei went to Qingzhou with Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, to resist Yuan Shao together.
At that time, Liu Bei was stationed in Pingyuan County, and Gongsun Zhan asked him to temporarily take the post of Pingyuan County Commander, which was equivalent to a probationary period.
Pingyuan State is located in the northwest of Qingzhou, bordering Jizhou.
In the second year of Emperor Huan's construction, Pingyuan County was restored as a country. It was not until the eleventh year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty that the plain country was divided into counties.
Because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all enemies, and Liu Bei himself is very sympathetic to the people and cherishes the soldiers, the soldiers are willing to die for Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao repeatedly sent troops to attack Qingzhou, but they were all repelled by Liu Bei, who was stationed in Pingyuan County. Liu Bei also made many military exploits in the process of fighting with Yuan Shao, and was named the prime minister of the plain by Gongsun Zhan.
Although Liu Bei has some ambitions, he lives in the Han family after all. In the past, his relationship with Gongsun Chan was like brotherhood, but now Gongsun Chan canonized his official position at will without the consent of the imperial court.
Therefore, Liu Bei was also dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan's behavior. However, he is now working under Gongsun Zhan's account, and he has to rely on Gongsun Chan a lot, so he can only accumulate the resentment in his heart.
Guan Yu walked to Liu Bei, who was in a daze, and said softly: "Brother, I look at Gongsun Zan and his people, and the wolf is ambitious." Not long ago, he killed Liu Youzhou, which was even more rebellious. ”
"Since the lord is determined to support the community, why should he stoop to this person's account?"
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Bo Gui was not such a person before, but he didn't want to ......"
"Hey, it's a pity that I have no enthusiasm to serve the country, but I have no use, I can only be subservient!"
Seeing this, Zhang Fei on the side said loudly: "Since my brother has heroic ambition, how can he stay here all the time?" The world is so big, where can't it be? ”
Liu Bei said a little depressedly: "If the son is robbed today, the Han Dynasty will be in turmoil, and the heroes will rise together. Now, I don't have the slightest reputation, even if I abandon Gongsun Zhan, who can take me in? ”
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this, they were also silent.
In addition to the fact that they made some meager contributions in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and in the process of fighting against Yuan Shao's generals, they won a few battles. It can be said that they do not have the slightest reputation now.
Liu Bei's real experience is not as written in the romance, when he fought in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and made a lot of contributions.
He and Gongsun Zhan did not participate in any princes' discussion of Dong, let alone Wenjiu to kill Huaxiong and Sanying to fight Lu Bu.
Therefore, the current Liu Bei and the three can be regarded as unknown.
What's more, due to the appearance of Chen Xu, Guan Hai led the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and defected to Bingzhou. Without Guan Hai leading the Yellow Turban Army to attack Kong Rong, there would be no matter for Kong Rong to ask Liu Bei for help.
In fact, in history, Liu Bei sent troops to help Kong Rong, which was when he really began to enter the eyes of the princes.
Before that, even Liu Bei knew that he was a nobody.
According to historical records, when Guan Hai led his troops to besiege Kong Rong, Kong Rong sent Tai Shici to ask Liu Bei for help.
Liu Bei was very surprised at that time and said: "Kong Beihai knows that there is Liu Bei evil in the world? He immediately sent 3,000 troops to rescue Kong Rong.
It can be seen from this that Liu Bei was so surprised that Kong Rong knew his name at that time.
And Liu Bei is also a person who is very good at seizing opportunities. After Kong Rong asked him for help, he did not hesitate at all, nor did he care about the large amount of money and food that would be consumed to rescue Kong Rong this time.
Instead, he abandoned the foundation of the plains, raised his army, and went desperately to rescue Kong Rong, which was able to win a good reputation.
After that, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and he sent troops to rescue Tao Qian again, showing his face in front of the princes again. Only then did he qualify to be a prince.
It can be said that Liu Bei's experience of saving people twice is completely a stroke of genius, and it is also the beginning of the transformation of his life.
If there was no Kong Rong and Tao Qian's request for help, maybe he would have stayed under Gongsun Zhan's tent all the time, and with the demise of Gongsun Zhan's strength, he would have been defeated and died.
But it was said that Liu Bei's three brothers stayed in the house, and when they were relatively silent, suddenly a person hurriedly ran in and said, "My lord, the Qingzhou Assassin sent a messenger to meet the lord." ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he retorted again: "No, I will go to meet him personally!" ”
Liu Bei took Guan and Zhang out to greet them, and after seeing the envoy, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "I don't know if the envoy sent Your Excellency to the plain, there is a lot of negligence, and please Mr. Haihan!" ”
The messenger sent by Tian Kai saw Liu Bei personally come out to greet him, and he was very respectful, and a trace of emotion flashed on his face.
He hurriedly replied: "Liu Envoy Jun is the Prime Minister of the Plains, how can a certain envoy receive such a great gift?" ”
Then, he was no longer polite, and said bluntly: "Cao Mengde raised troops to attack Xuzhou, and the lord and Xuzhou are allies, so he should send troops to save him." ”
"The prime minister of the country is well-governed, brave and good at fighting, so the envoy asked me to inform you and send troops to rescue Xuzhou together."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed.
