Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1199
Youzhou, Jicheng.

Liu Bei was injured during the Battle of Guanzhong. After returning to Youzhou, he took care of him for a period of time before he recovered.

Although he lost some during the trip to Guanzhong.

But got a credit.

Uncle Liu Huang.

Today, the name of the world has been rectified, and Xu County is the capital of the imperial court. Today's Xu capital is the orthodox of the world. Although this is Cao Cao's method, he is also the one who benefits.

The emperor is more stable.

The name of the emperor's uncle will bring him infinite benefits.

Of course, there is one thing that he regrets, that is, Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao, which will be a weakness of his, and he is not afraid that Guan Yu will surrender to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei knew Guan Yu too well.

This is a one-sided person.

His righteousness is the principle of his life, brotherly righteousness is greater than heaven and earth.

It doesn't matter whether he appreciates Cao Cao.

Perhaps Cao Cao's coercion is also good.

Even if he died, it was impossible for Guan Yu to betray him. Liu Bei was absolutely sure of this.

Now that I think about it, how can I get Guan Yu back.

At present, Guan Yu's life should not be in danger. Cao Cao did not kill him in Guanzhong, and he will not kill him now. It is nothing more than a trump card to use against him in the future.

He still has a chance.

"Jian Yong!" Liu Bei couldn't do nothing, public and private, he had to act, even if he did useless work, so he called his confidant Jian Yong: "On my behalf, go to Xu Du, two things, first, pay your respects to His Majesty, and express your loyalty to Youzhou, and second, that is, talk to Prime Minister Cao to see if there is any hope of getting the Second General back, I can pay any price!"

"promise!"

Jian Yong surrendered his command, and on the same day, he brought his entourage, turned into a team of merchants, and went south quietly.

Liu Bei stood on the city wall of Jicheng, a gust of wind blew past, and it was bitingly cold. It was still a bit cold in the north. He wrapped his coat tightly around him, and then asked a masked man beside him.

"Sir, do you think Jian Yong can bring back what someone wants?"

"Uncle Huang already has a result in his heart, why bother to ask me, a defeated general!"

The man with the mask had a slightly hoarse voice.

"Hey!"

Liu Bei sighed, and said: "Cao Mengde is a great talent, and now with His Majesty's support, he will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. On the contrary, a certain is trapped in the northern border, and it is difficult to do anything. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to bow his head!"

"You don't have to worry, Uncle Huang. If you want the Second General to come back, there is still a chance!" the masked man said suddenly.

"Please enlighten me, sir!"

Liu Bei saluted respectfully.

This made the masked man feel a little bit emotional. When he dominated the world in the past, the man he regarded as his father and master never seemed to have such respect for him.

Now he is down and out, and he doesn't even dare to show half of his face under the mask. Liu Bei is a prince, but today's emperor uncle can do this; it is rare to be a corporal.

"Uncle, you are welcome!"

The masked man said softly: "If it wasn't for the emperor's uncle to save me, I would be nothing more than a dry bone. The emperor's uncle has ordered me to do my best to be the emperor's schemer!"

He paused, and said: "This matter is difficult to say, and easy is not easy. To the second general and the emperor's uncle, they are siblings. To him, Cao Mengde, it is just a burden, unless the second general is willing to surrender. !"

"impossible!"

Liu Bei said decisively: "I believe that everyone in the world will betray me, and I will not believe that Yun Chang will betray me. I believe in him!"

"Since the second general is someone who would rather die than surrender, Cao Mengde's keeping him is useless except to blackmail the emperor's uncle!" The masked man said: "As long as he is fully benefited, he will not embarrass the second general." !"

"Benefit?"

"Follow what you like!" The masked man explained: "It's best to let him ask you for something!"

"Sir, are you talking about Hebei?"

Liu Bei was dissatisfied with his reaction, and quickly noticed the words in the masked man's heart: "Yuan Shao, Hebei, is not only my enemy in Youzhou, but also his enemy in the Central Plains. He is a long-distance enemy and a close enemy. He Cao Mengde, if he is a hero, let go of the relationship between him and a certain man first." Right or wrong, first unite with a certain person to deal with Yuan Benchu ​​together, then..."

His eyes brightened: "Thank you sir for reminding me!"

"You're welcome!" the masked man said calmly.

This matter is considered a big stone in Liu Bei's heart. It was very heavy before, and he felt that there was no hope at all, but now, he felt hopeful, and he felt relaxed.

He took a deep look at the masked man.

The person who was able to stir up the world in the past was indeed not a simple person.

Although he did not bring the emperor back.

But this time in Guanzhong, I can be regarded as picking up a treasure.

"Sir, this is some news from Jingzhou recently, not much, but you can take a look, I need your thoughts!" Liu Bei handed a file to the masked man, and said.

"Jingzhou?"

The masked man said quietly: "It's nothing unusual for Liu Jingsheng to kill himself, but Sun Wentai's defeat is a little regrettable. This defeat has far-reaching significance. In the future, no one in the south can check and balance that young man! "

When he thought of that young overlord, there was a chill in his heart.

"Mr. is right in his words!"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "None of us could have imagined that the Mu army marched so quickly. They withdrew from Guanzhong and moved to Jingzhou. It took only a few days. It was unacceptable. He also let him defeat Jiangxia, lure the Jiangdong army, and completely defeat Jiangdong. Jingzhou is the final decision!"

"Reform?" The masked man listened to Liu Bei's words, while looking at the information collected from the file: "What a bold move!"

"Sir, do you know if he can succeed?"

Liu Bei asked.

"I don't know!" The masked man shook his head: "Looking at the past and present, those who reformed the law will die a good death. However, they are all the laws of the prosperous age. In the order of the chaotic world, changing the laws of the previous dynasty and establishing new laws is unprecedented. Luck and ability are both indispensable!"

"Then I..."

Liu Bei wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the masked man.

"Uncle Huang thinks too much!" The masked man shook his head: "This is not a way to learn from, let alone the possibility of failure is very high, and it will even cause the Minghou Mansion to fall into the disaster of subversion, but even if it succeeds, it will not work." , there is only one dragon-herding figure in the world, and the dragon-herding figure never cared about his own reputation, and never stood up for the gentry, this is his capital, but the princes of the world, who can escape the threat of the gentry, can the emperor do it?"

"I?"

Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile: "No!"

Same people different lives.

If I have a good family background, I can't be like Mu Jing. If I am not careful, I am afraid that the counties and counties will explode, and I may not be able to stabilize myself at that time.

"I really hope he can succeed!" Liu Bei looked away, and suddenly said this.

"I also hope that!"

The masked man said in a low voice.

Sometimes, everyone wants to break the ancient checks and balances, and then establish a new order, but the intertwined relationship in the disk makes people have to stop.

If Jingzhou can succeed.

For the world, it will be a huge change.

................................................

Jingzhou is now divided into Nanzhou, Xiangzhou, Wuzhou and Xiazhou.

The governor's mansions of the four states began to be established one after another.

On behalf of the imperial envoys of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, Cai Yong and Cai Bojie, the great Confucians of the time, had already arrived in Jingzhou secretly, first entered Xiangyang, and after entering Xiangyang, they went up to Lumen Mountain.

Jingzhou's military and political strength have now been defeated.

The old system is gone.

No new system was established.

Even if the heart is bright, the snake has no head and can hardly do anything.

If there are spiritual leaders in Jingzhou, it is these few people on Lumen Mountain. They are well-known in Jingzhou, have countless friends and old friends, and they are a weather vane for scholars everywhere.

If they stand up, Jingzhou will be in chaos.

If they can stand on the side of Minghou Mansion.

Then Jingzhou will stabilize at the fastest speed.

"Brother Bojie, we haven't seen each other for so many years!" Sima Wei looked at Cai Yong, and asked with some emotion.

"It's been more than ten years!"

Cai Yong said calmly: "In the past when I went south to Jiangdong, I had a meeting with you and Yingchuan. Later, when we never met each other, the current situation in the world was turbulent, and we couldn't help it. We never thought that it would be like this. Meet under the situation!"

"Someone can't wait to think of it!"

Sima Wei's eyes were indifferent, and he said softly: "Brother Bo Jie will come to Jingzhou in person!"

"My old man only has some use value, but my son-in-law, how could he use up my value!" Cai Yong smiled, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip, speaking very easily.

"Bo Jie, since you have come to my Lumen Mountain, I will not talk nonsense with you, can the Marquis of Ming stop the reform?"

Sima asked slightly.

"impossible!"

Cai Yong shook his head and said: "No one can stop him, including the old man. He has persuaded me and scolded me. If he wants to go his own way, I can only go with him!"

"Are you willing to be his accomplice?"

Huang Chengyan said quietly.

"how you said that?"

Cai Yong is a great sage of the imperial court, a model of scholars in the world, more prestigious and famous than them, and even higher in status than them, he is really not afraid of the three of them making trouble, he stared at Huang Chengyan : "Brother Cheng Yan, are you blaming the old man?"

"Don't dare!"

Pang Degong quickly said: "Cheng Yan is only a momentary slip of the tongue, Brother Bo Jie, don't take it to heart!"

"I understand you!"

Cai Yong's eyes swept over lightly: "Because I feel the same way, this change in Jingzhou has become not a place, but the world. I am a Hanchen, how can I be sympathetic, but..."

He paused, and said, "There are some things that must be done by someone!"

"I am between Your Majesty and the world, the world I choose, and at the same time, I firmly believe in one thing!" Don't look at Cai Yong always complaining about Mu Jing at home, but in his heart, Mu Jing's talent is the best in the world, no one has ever The one comparable to: "My son-in-law will be the one who brings the world back to prosperity!"

Sima Wei, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and the others, hearing Cai Yong's firm words, felt an indescribable sense of oppression in their hearts, and they looked at each other with a bit of bitterness on their faces.

"No matter what!" Pang Degong said softly: "Brother Bojie, an order from the Marquis of Ming has caused chaos in Jingzhou, and the chaos will cause the people to suffer, so it can stop here!"

"The old man is here to discuss with you how to stabilize the people!"

Cai Yong said softly.

When he said this, the three of them became vigilant.

The visitor is not good.

Is this going to put them on the stove?
"Everyone, are you willing to watch Jingzhou suffer, but for your own reputation, stand idly by, rather see death than save, and don't want to do something for Jingzhou?" Cai Yong sneered. If you are too lofty, you are willing to bear a seat of clarity, but stay out of it when things happen. To put it nicely, it is the loftiness of a scholar, but to put it badly, it is a coward.

In the past, he was highly talented and learned, and his teachers and teachers praised him, especially his talent in piano art and calligraphy. If he concentrates on learning, he will be famous forever.

However, he plunged headlong into the filth of the imperial court.

If he learns the principles of the world, if he can't do something for the people of the world, he believes that even if the knowledge reaches the extreme, it is just a name.

"Bo Jie, you are so aggressive, so what should you do if you want us?"

If it was someone else, Sima Wei would not pay attention to him at all, their reputation and status are all there, there are not many people who can intimidate them to leave the mountain, but it just so happens that Cai Yong is one.

In terms of reputation, they are not as good as Cai Yong, and in terms of status, they are not as good as Cai Yong. Cai Yong can set a character for them by saying a word in Shilin. Even if he wants to refute, it will only hurt Cai Yong.

Scholars have a good reputation but not a fortune, and they have only managed to achieve a reputation of being a Qingliu Confucian in their lifetime. If they are touched by Cai Yong, then all the famous people will collapse.

"You want Jingzhou well, and I want it too!"

Cai Yong said calmly: "Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. Next, we will clear the population and measure the land. Everything will make Jingzhou people feel worse and worse about us. The Minghou Mansion is not afraid of chaos, but I don’t want to kill fearlessly, I am not my iron-blooded and overbearing son-in-law after all, I want to do the things of the Minghou Mansion, and I want peace in Jingzhou, you can help me!”

"If the new law fails, have you thought about the consequences?"

Sima Wei's back felt a little chilly. Sure enough, this was just the beginning. When the Governor's Mansion was established, a new order would start. How could this great opportunity not be used.

It is the fault of the court and the people that the Han Dynasty has fallen to this point. Others can copy what others say. But these people who have read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, have learned their knowledge to the core, and have a clear understanding of the world. There is no way to lie to yourself.

In the final analysis, the gentry were too greedy, the gentry were too domineering, and the land annexation was too serious. The people below bought food and ate, and naturally made trouble. Once there was a disturbance, the court suppressed it. Repeatedly, how could the court not lose the hearts of the people.

"The world is already in chaos, but whenever there is a chance, the old man will support him to go on unconditionally. The new law is the painstaking effort of the Minghou Mansion. If the new law is defeated, it means that the Minghou Mansion has lost. He promised me to be a Hanchen again!" Cai Yong sighed, and then said: "Actually, I also hope that he is a Hanchen, that would be great, but it's a pity, the court has betrayed all of us, and the biggest bet today is on the new law!"

He was so exhausted, not willingly, but before coming, he had a frank talk with Mu Jing, and Mu Jing made a bet, if this time, the Jingzhou reform fails, he is willing to follow Cai Yong's way , go on.

But the condition is that Cai Yong must wholeheartedly support Jingzhou's reform.

Cai Yong agreed.

Because he has no way, no matter what the Han Dynasty is in his heart, the general situation of the world has already changed beyond recognition, so what can he do as a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.

Whether it is success or failure, he is willing.
