Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Didn't Dream
"Zilian, why is it so noisy outside? Go and see what's going on? ”
Cao Cao has been figuring out the mystery of observing Jinyang City in recent days, and finally had the opportunity to sleep lazily and was disturbed, Cao Cao squinted and told Cao Hong to inquire about the news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong at Bianshui, and Cao Hong crossed the river on horseback and walked on his own, Cao Cao has always taken Cao Hong with him.
"Whoa!"
When Cao Hong heard this, he immediately asked the people from the translation hall to inquire about the news.
Cao Cao washed his face, ate breakfast again, and saw Cao Hong coming back in a hurry.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong, who was a little messy because of running, and said: "Zilian, the first thing for the general, how can the appearance be untidy to prove that the military discipline is strict, now we are in Jinyang to ask Liu Bei to send troops, let alone let people think that we are a rabble."
"Whoa!"
Cao Hong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and armor.
Cao Cao said with satisfaction: "What? Why is there a lot of noise outside? ”
Cao Hong said: "My lord, the envoy sent by the Xiongnu to ask for peace arrived in Jinyang with the angel sent by Chang'an, and he lived in this translation hall."
"Oh!"
Cao Cao's face showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect Liu Bei to attach so much importance to a certain person, putting himself on the same status as an angel and a Hun envoy, it seems that Liu Bei also wanted to send troops to the Central Plains in his heart, but he was involved by the migrating people.
As long as Liu Bei has the heart to send troops to the Central Plains, then this trip to Jinyang Cao Cao will not run in vain, Cao Cao's heart is greatly reduced, and he is busy saying to Cao Hong: "Take my name to meet Liu Bei, and I want to see Liu Bei as soon as possible."
Since Dong Zhuo's envoy came to Jinyang, there must be a huge temptation waiting for Liu Bei, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have sent an envoy to humiliate himself.
Cao Cao wanted to find out Liu Bei's attitude, and Liu Bei was also hesitant to treat the envoy with what specifications, although he was in the name of the Han family, but in fact he was Dong Zhuo's secret envoy, and if he cooperated with Dong Zhuo, he was the enemy of the princes of the world.
Although Liu Bei is not afraid of being an enemy of the world, but the key to the Lucheng army is farming, as long as there are two or three years, Liu Bei will have enough armor and soldiers to chase the Central Plains, in fact, not only Liu Bei, Yuan Shao is also the same.
Because of Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei felt that it was not worth it to delay his farming, so he summoned his henchmen in Jinyang to discuss countermeasures.
Jian Yong came from Lucheng, bringing a large number of students, food, craftsmen, Lucheng Army did not have enough food to raise millions of people until the autumn harvest, so they could only go to Yizhou, Jingxu to buy, food in troubled times is more expensive than gold, but more expensive than food is armor, Lucheng armor is a world, this is also Liu Bei's meaning, with armor for food.
Zheng Jun is busy designing the drawings of Jinyang New City, as well as the planning of the city.
Jian Qi went to Yanmen with Huang Zhong, but Sun Qian stayed.
Xi Zhicai was impressively listed, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu were already sitting next to them, and Zuo Yuan and Wang Chen were also present.
"Dong Zhuo ordered the former Taiwei Ma Riyan as the envoy, and Cai Gu as the deputy envoy to Jin, and the gentlemen should tell me, how should I deal with it?"
Liu Bei looked at his civilian team, and he was very confident in his heart, with top strategists, top good looks, and lobbyists, as long as he sharpened his middle and lower management personnel for two years, Liu Bei's regime would be as stable as a rock.
"My lord, I thought he should be expelled from Taiyuan, the lord has the queen mother in his hands, why should he recognize the puppet emperor set up by Dong Zhuo? When I was in Zhuo County, I heard that Yuan Benchu and Han Wen Festival envoys frequently appeared in Guangyang, and there were rumors among the people: "Yuan Shao and Han Fu want to establish Liu Youzhou (Liu Yu) as the emperor." The lord and Liu Youzhou are quite thick, if Liu Youzhou is the emperor, he will not treat the lord badly. ”
Jian Yong was the first to speak.
Zuo Yuan immediately refused when he heard this, and said: "Lord, I think otherwise, although Your Majesty is Dong Zhuo's puppet, but a hundred officials are there, Your Majesty is the heir of the first emperor, Your Majesty's position is from the Young Emperor, and his position is right and the world is served." The princes raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuoye! Once Dong Zhuo is punished, His Majesty is still orthodox. What's more, Liu Yu is benevolent and will not conspire with Yuan Benchu and his ilk. ”
Wang Chen said even more fiercely: "Yuan Benchu is good at establishing the clan as the emperor, does he want to disturb the Han world?" Seeing that he is the next Dong Zhuo, he wants to coerce Liu Youzhou to order the world, if the lord agrees, he will be swallowed by Yuan Shao sooner or later. ”
"Nonsense, Liu Hou has tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are the elite of the world, Yuan Benchu is a Confucian student, how can He De annex Liu Hou?"
Sun Qian supported Jian Yong's statement, after all, Liu Yu was the emperor, which was the favorite thing for the Hebei scholars, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu agreed that Liu Yu was the emperor, and the capital would definitely be in Ye.
Liu Yu has Youzhou, Gongsun Zan is famous in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and the old general Liu Bei has merged with the state, so that the land of Hebei can be unified without war except for Qingzhou, as for who can be the lord of Hebei in the end, it depends on everyone's means.
Without war, there were still few people who died in political struggles, and most of them abandoned their official positions or were demoted.
The two groups of people quoted scriptures, anyway, they either took refuge in Dong Zhuo or supported Liu Yu, but Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia kept silent.
Liu Bei could only wave away a few people to leave Xi Zhicai and the others, and said: "The four gentlemen are all silent, presumably there must be advice to be prepared."
The four of them looked at each other, and Guo Jia said boldly: "The people under the command of Ming Gong are all based on others, and they think it is inappropriate, Ming Gong can be completely self-reliant, after all, Ming Gong can now have signs of Emperor Guangwu."
Xi Zhicai was afraid that what Guo Jia said would be too revealing, which made Xun Yu unhappy, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the world is the world of the Han family, why do you have to vote for Yuan and Dong?" Can the lord also revive the Han Dynasty? ”
Jia Xu also nodded, but Xun Yu stared at Liu Bei.
If Liu Bei didn't have the idea of reviving the Han Dynasty, he couldn't say that his fate with Liu Bei would be over, and he Xun Wenruo should go to Mingjun.
"This is natural, the responsibility of the Zhongxing Han family cannot be shirked, this is the fate of our Liu family's descendants, but what I think about is how to reduce the killing and save the lives of the people more at the same time as the Zhongxing Han family."
Liu Bei thought of the chaos and the misery of the Han people who only had two or three million left, so he felt that the pressure was great, and he had a long way to go.
"The Lord is benevolent."
Xi Zhicai, Jia Xudao.
Xun Yu also felt warm in his heart, it is rare to see such a king who loves the people, and it is even more strange in this troubled era, if it were not for the strong combat power of the Lu Cheng Army, Xun Yu would definitely leave him, but with the combat power of the Lu Cheng Army, Xun Yu felt as if he had met a rare Ming Jun in a hundred lifetimes.
"Ming Gong is benevolent, and Yu is willing to do his best to assist Ming Gong to rejuvenate the Han family, reduce killings, and preserve the heritage of my Han nation."
Xun Yu was the first to be convinced, Guo Jia was surprised, and said: "Jia has also seen the lord."
"Huh?"
Xun Yu and Guo Jia wanted to serve themselves one after another, Liu Bei was stunned, he had always dreamed of today, but since Guo Jia saw through his killing intent towards him, he no longer had this fantasy, and he lived in the shadow of being killed by Guo Jia's calculations every day.
"Brother Zhicai, I didn't dream!"
Liu Bei looked at Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "Lord, you are rude."
"Hahaha!"
When Liu Bei heard that it was true, he couldn't help laughing, staggered up, grabbed the hands of the two and said in a gaffe: "I have two gentlemen, just like Gaozu Zhang Liang and Xiao Heye!"
Xun Yu, Wang Zuozhicai.
Guo Jia, a ghost talent!
The two of them can compare themselves to Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and Liu Bei can compare themselves to Liu Bang, and their ambitions are obvious.
Xun Yu didn't feel uncomfortable, because Liu Bei was a clan, and today it fell apart, and the resurgence of the Liu family also met the expectations of the people of the world.
Guo Jia asked mischievously: "The two of us are Xiao He and Zhang Liang, Brother Zhicai and Brother Wen He, what is the status in the heart of the lord?"
