The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 439 A World Changing Too Fast

"So, Cao Mengde ran away?"

In the mansion, Lin Chao looked at Liu Bei and asked in astonishment.

Jia Xu, Ju Shou and Guo Jia beside them also frowned slightly.Lin Chao had told them in Luoyang last year that Cao Cao was not something in the pond, and he had to control it in his own hands, at least not let it go.

Liu Bei didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a face full of reason: "Meng De is the prefect of Pengcheng. Although I appreciate his talent, I can't keep him to live in Tan County. Isn't it reasonable to return to Pengcheng?"

Lin Chao: "..."

Liu Daer, what you said is so reasonable, I am speechless.

It is true that Cao Mengde is the prefect of Pengcheng, and I made him the prefect of Pengcheng myself.But you really think he is suitable for stationing in Pengcheng, why don't you let him station at Mount Tai, which borders Jizhou, so that he can secretly communicate with Yuan Shaoqu!
Probably sensing something wrong with Lin Chao's expression, Liu Bei then asked, "Zi Chu, what's wrong with this matter?"

That's right, it's perfect!

You let go, what else can I say.

After Lao Cao got your permission, he must run away like a mad dog that has run loose, and it will be difficult to get it back in the future.

It's not that Lin Chao has to target Cao Cao, it's just that if this kind of person is not in his hands, Lin Chao is always worried, and it is also a big obstacle to the unification of the world.

Although Cao Mengde is now a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, God knows when he will turn black?

Maybe never, maybe next second.

It is even more likely to fall asleep on a certain widow's bed, suddenly enter the sage's time, and then shout: a man was born in the world, how can he live in depression for a long time!
At that time, the two Yuans have not been settled yet, and there will be another Cao Cao here, which will not be fun.

Although Xuzhou's family background is not the strongest among the princes at this stage, its combat effectiveness is definitely the strongest among the princes.

Once there is a fight, those small princes will definitely form a group to resist, just like Shu and Wu united against Wei during the Three Kingdoms.

With this in mind, Lin Chao said seriously: "Mr. Xuande, can you tell the story in detail?"

"Of course." Liu Bei nodded, and said, "Yesterday afternoon, a certain person received Meng De's call letter. Early this morning, he came to visit with a cart full of gifts..."

"Mr. Xuande, can you be brief?"

Lin Chao rarely interrupted Liu Bei's narration.

"Uh, after Meng De arrived, a certain party hosted a banquet for him. During the banquet, a certain party had a drink with him. To be honest, Meng De's drinking capacity is really..."

Lin Chao sighed, and chose to interrupt again: "Mr. Xuande, can we make it simpler?"

"Yes, after the meal, a certain man saw that Meng De brought a generous gift, and he was too embarrassed to take it for nothing, so he reciprocated the gift and gave him three beauties. Don't worry, Zichu, these three are widows. You once said that they Cao Mengde likes widows, I always remember..."

"Mr. Xuande, can we... be simpler?"

Lin Chao was powerless to complain.

Hearing this, Liu Bei became a little depressed.

At the beginning of the year, what you said needs to be repeated in detail, and now it needs to be simplified and simplified again, which is too difficult to serve.

"To make it a little more brief... After talking with Meng De, I personally sent him out of the city before returning."

Lin Chao keenly caught Hua Dian, and immediately asked, "When did Cao Mengde leave the city?"

In fact, there is still half a sentence that Lin Chao didn't say, that is, whether it is too late to hunt down and kill him now.

Liu Bei thought for a moment, then replied, "About two hours ago."

Hearing this, Lin Chao sighed.

Cao Cao and his party consisted of only a hundred people, and they were light and easy to drive. If they tried their best, they would be hundreds of miles away, and it would be too late to chase them down.

Furthermore, Liu Bei is right in front of him, even if Lin Chao wants to chase him down, he will definitely not allow it.

After all, until now, what Cao Cao has done seems to be a full-fledged loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. It is too late for Liu Bei to recruit such a person, so how could he pursue and kill him.

This is exactly what troubled Lin Chao, he didn't know how to explain this matter to Liu Bei.

Is it possible to tell Liu Bei that Lao Cao will become a traitor in the future, so let's kill him now to avoid future troubles.

Lin Chao himself felt that these words were a bit silly...

Forget it, let Cao Cao go and see how he behaves in the future.

Xuzhou right now, not to mention Tianhu's start, but he is still fully confident in dealing with a fledgling Cao Cao.Whenever Cao Cao made any changes, Lin Chao would send his troops south to nip this threat in its cradle.

Having figured this out, Lin Chao bowed his hands to Liu Bei, and asked him why he came: "Then Xuande Gong condescends to come, what is the so-called?"

Cao Cao has run away, why are you still here!
Hearing this, Liu Bei slapped his head, as if he just remembered something important, and his expression became tense.

"Feng Xiao, tell me."

Lin Chao was discussing the strategy of Qingzhou with Jia Xu and Ju Shou in the mansion, while Guo Jia came with Liu Bei.

At this time, Guo Jia showed a rare serious expression on his face, and said: "There is news from the school office that Jizhou Mu Hanwen Festival has died..."

What, Han Fu is dead!

Lin Chao's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "When is the news?"

"Just half an hour ago, after a certain received the news, he immediately reported it to the lord, and the lord came to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Lin Chao let out a long sigh, his expression was a little dazed, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This world is changing too fast, I just stayed in the mansion for a few days to treat my illness, and by the way, I asked the sturdy young lady Cai Yan to break my sentiments, and when I woke up again, it changed like this.

Not to mention Cao Cao ran away, Han Fu died!

I obviously still want to catch him to dance in Chang'an...

So, Yuan Shao is about to rise?

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be anxious, Lin Chaosui waved his hand and asked Liu Bei and Guo Jia to sit down and let them talk about the situation in detail.

Speaking of Han Fu's death, it is actually quite embarrassing.

In short, in Lin Jianjun's mind, as long as he didn't get rid of the person himself, he would die with embarrassment.

Although Han Fu, Jizhou Shepherd, was appointed by Dong Zhuo, almost all the Kwantung princes were appointed by Dong Zhuo. Don't think the second brother is ugly.

Furthermore, the Yingchuan Han family was also a wealthy family in the late Han Dynasty. Although it was not as good as the top families such as the Yuan family in Runan and the Xun family in Yingchuan, there were several high-ranking officials with ranks of ten thousand and two thousand stones in their ancestors.If you want to compare it, it is probably similar to the Chen family where Chen Qun in the same county is, and the Guo family where Guo Jia and Guo Tu are.

Han Fu himself served as Yushi Zhongcheng in his early years. Although it was only an official position of rank Qianshi, there was no Yushi doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so Yushi Zhongcheng was essentially the highest official of Yushitai, and the power in his hands was not weaker than that of Jiuqing. a cent.

Looking at Jizhou again, it is a city of wealth, food and population.Even if there was the Yellow Turban Uprising before and the Black Mountain bandits later, but the heritage of Jizhou still exists, and it can be regarded as among the best among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

Although the land of Jizhou is not big, more than half of it is plain fertile soil, and there are also large and small rivers winding in all directions. There is no shortage of water sources at all, enough to raise millions of soldiers!
First-class background, first-class experience, first-class land, Han Fu, who possessed these three first-class conditions, ended up becoming a third-rate monarch, and even ended up dying.

In other words, with Han Fu's soft and cowardly character, he was doomed to this fate early on.

Han Fu's character can be described in one sentence, he is obedient to the outside world, but he strikes hard at the inside.

To put it bluntly, it is a nest.

Not only is he sloppy, he is also blind, and he doesn't know how to appoint talents at all.

Jizhou has excellent generals such as Zhang He and Zhu Ling, but he doesn't use them because he likes his general Pan Feng.

There are also first-rate counselors like Shenpei, Geng Wu, and Min Chun, who are admonishing ministers, and he doesn't need them either.Although the courteous treatment is given to Jushou, it is only limited to courteous treatment.

If Han Fu could reuse one or two of the above-mentioned talents, he would not have ended up like this.

Things have to start from the end of the discussion of Dong, when Yuan Shao and Han Fu returned to Jizhou together.Because Yuan Shao had acquiesced that Han Fu cut off his food when he was seeking Dong, and when Yuan Shu pursued the responsibility, Yuan Shao put all the responsibility on Han Fu, and a rift appeared in the relationship between the two.

Seeing his younger brother Yuan Shu separatist Nanyang and then invading southward, and hearing Liu Bei occupying Xuzhou and trying to expand outward, Yuan Benchu, who claims to be a hero in the world, can not be in a hurry, so he asked Feng Ji and Xu You, who were under his command.

Of these two people, one was a counselor whom he admired, and the other was his own younger brother, and both of them followed Yuan Shao and fled to Bohai from Yuan Cong's old ministry when Dong Zhuo came to power, so Yuan Shao naturally had a lot of trust in him.

Seeing Yuan Shao asking for advice, Feng Ji replied without hesitation: "In today's world situation, although the lord is famous, he has few soldiers, and there is no place for a hero. If the lord has the ambition to swallow the sun and the moon, the Bohai Sea will It's really hard to do."

Yuan Shao asked again: "Yuan Tu's words are very true. Although a certain person is not talented, he did not dare to fall into the power of my Yuan family. He intends to make contributions, but he does not have a piece of land of his own. I wonder if Yuan Tu has a good plan?"

Before Feng Ji could reply this time, Xu You who was next to him spoke up. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, this matter is easy to hear. There is a very good land right now. If my lord wants to gain a foothold, It’s as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.”

"Ziyuan said...Jizhou?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Yes." Xu You said with a smile, "Although Jizhou is not in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is extremely rich and capable of accomplishing things. Moreover, Jizhou Mu Hanwenjie was born with a dark and weak nature, and it is difficult to distinguish loyalty from traitors. He was originally an old official of the Yuan family. If the lord is willing, you only need to use a little plan to make Han Fu give up Jizhou and find a place for the lord to settle down and rule."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao said with a face full of surprise: "Ziyuan's words are serious?"

To be honest, Yuan Shao originally wanted to gain a foothold in Jizhou, but he never thought of a suitable way.Coupled with the fact that there are many gaps between him and Han Fu now, it is even more difficult to do it.

Now Xu You is doing everything, saying that he wants to help him seize Jizhou, how can Yuan Shao be unhappy.

"It's natural, it's just Jizhou, what's the point!"

The corner of Xu You's mouth twitched, his face full of confidence.The beard at the corner of the mouth also seemed to be shiny with his stroking.

It's just that there was a glimmer of gloom in Feng Ji's eyes where neither of them noticed.

Obviously it was a plan proposed by someone first, but you Xu Ziyuan jumped out halfway to pick the fruit, you really are not a son of man.

Forget it, let's see how you Xu You act.If your plan is not good, let the lord see clearly who is the real talent who can help him conquer the world!

Of course, although Xu You's personality and emotional intelligence are not very good, his ability is first-class.

After Han Fu's act of cutting off food when he was begging Dong last year, he had already been in harmony with Yuan Shao. After returning to Jizhou, he was even more uneasy. He was worried that Yuan Shao would retaliate, so he was in a state of anxiety all day long.

Xu You keenly grasped Han Fu's mentality, while threatening Yuan's huge reputation and connections, he persuaded him gently, saying that he would promise to treat Han Fu favorably in the future, so that he should not hesitate to hand over Jizhou.

This is exactly the same as Xun Chen's routine of persuading Han Fu in history, first showing the strength gap between the two sides.With the reputation of your Han family, it is definitely not as good as the well-known Yuan family in Runan.Looking at your ability in Hanwen Festival, it is not as good as Yuan Benchu's.

So even if you tear up your old face in the end, your final result is nothing but defeat and death.Instead of this, it is better to hurry up and hand over Jizhou directly now.

Finally, give me a sweet date. After Yuan Shao gets Jizhou, he will definitely be grateful and respectful to you for Hanwen Festival.

In this way, it is not beautiful to still lose the position of Marquis.
