Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 296 Perhaps so, it can really defeat Cao Jun!
"Heh, heh..." Liu Bei sneered suddenly, "Mr. is Ma Liang's younger brother. Hearing that Ma Liang was conscripted to be Xu Zhen's master book, he sent you to lurk by my side?"

Ma Di froze for a moment, "No..."

"Eh? Uncle Huang, I came here because Xu Zhen was slow to treat me. I am determined to defeat Xu Zhen, which will make him regret it!"

"Impossible!" Liu Bei yelled angrily, and took a few glances at Ma Di. The young and impulsive Jingzhou gentry... had already been captured by Xu Zhen.

This person is really amazing.

"Uncle Liu Huang," Ma Di was a little confused, and at the same time felt something was wrong in his heart, shouldn't he come...

"If you don't want to be hired, you can just leave. You don't need to say such things, you deliberately insult me."

"Scholars have their own arrogance and dignity. Xu Bowen didn't appoint him, and he was even slightly humiliated. I was afraid that I would be recommended to surpass him in merit in the future. Now I am here to prove this."

"How can you get along with him again?"

Liu Bei laughed directly, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also laughed, "Your achievements surpass Xu Bowen, how can you say that, I know it's impossible."

Guan Yu never opened his eyes, stroked his beard with a sneer and said softly, "Because there are not so many achievements in the world."

"However, before he became an official, he was superb in martial arts and very good at archery. Thousands of people in the village followed him. He had the air of a lord. He generously shared the money and food in his family, and he was a big man."

It is necessary to recommend several people to serve as officials in the territory. The kindness of recommendation is very important in the hearts of scholars, and they will not give it up at will.

"Uncle Emperor," Liu Qi patted his arm with a smile, and said softly, "There is no need to be so restless. Xu Bowen is not familiar with Jingzhou, and he was entrusted with important tasks just after arriving here. It can be seen that Cao Cao forced him to take office."

"Why is it impossible!?"

Lu Su crossed the river in a light boat, and Liu Bei and others met him at the ferry.

"All the wise counselors can see this situation, not to mention that Jiangdong himself is talented, and he must know that his own strength is not enough to resist Cao's army, so I guess that Lu Zijing's arrival must be to inquire about our remaining soldiers. Horses and baggage."

How good is his eloquence?Moreover, he was a Confucianist halfway through, which reminded him of Xu Shu, who also ran away from killing people with superb swordsmanship in his early years. He only started visiting famous teachers and learning Confucianism when he arrived in Jingzhou halfway.

"This..." Liu Bei glanced at his two brothers.

Ma Di's simple introduction roughly made both of them understand Lu Su's identity.

After all, only by word of mouth like this, the reputation of these people will continue to rise and spread all over the place.

And he won't be reticent or wary because of unfamiliarity. He walks almost as usual. If you talk to him, he will talk along the topic.

"What Jiangdong wants is for Mr. Liu Qi to cooperate with all his strength. Jiangxia and Jiangdong will only have a chance if they unite."

Zhang Fei spoke directly, and Ma Su's face became numb, and he turned red on the spot, and his complexion instantly turned red, even to the point where his neck was red.

He could go on and on with this topic.

The wealthy merchants... may be the money passed down by the family, but the status of the merchant itself is very low. It may be that taking advantage of the troubled times, he turned to study Confucianism, gradually became a Confucian scholar, and was recommended by others after being expropriated.

Otherwise, it would be a crime to shame the ancestors at every turn.

"Otherwise, Cao Cao would definitely defeat them one by one, but..." Speaking of which, Liu Bei peeked at Liu Qi.

"Of course, the two families are on good terms."

If you don't talk about it, you will be at ease, and you will be smiling all the way, without any aggressive footsteps, and you will always be very honest. This kind of person has his own bearing.

"Okay," Lu Su nodded calmly, not surprised, as a son, of course he would not come to pick him up in person, in Jiangxia, he is the master.

"It makes sense," Liu Bei nodded immediately, and they all agreed that Jingzhou's current situation is like this, let Xu Zhen come to be a villain, and he will be late anyway to go back to the north.

Liu Bei's heart tightened, thinking about it carefully, he still felt a little awkward. After this person left, there was nowhere to vent his anger and resentment.

Only after Liu Qi said "but it's okay" did he dare to cup his fists, and said loudly: "Someone from the east bank of the river sent a letter, and an envoy will cross the river soon to meet Mr. Liu Qi and express condolences to the old lord... The general specially asked me to tell you Young master, this matter is probably not as simple as condolences."

Such a person came across the river, certainly not simply to express condolences, but to show friendship, and even to see if there is any possibility of union.

"Lu Zijing, after studying Confucianism all these years, people don't know about his bearing, eloquence, and talent. I'm afraid the emperor's uncle and the young master need to meet in person to find out."

"Of course we have to make friends. If he wants to, he can settle this matter while Cao Xu is still reorganizing the Jingzhou gentry. This is the top priority."

"Haha," Lu Su waved his hand, "Uncle Huang calls me Zijing, but I can't bear the word sir."

Lu Su and Liu Bei walked together, this man has a unique affinity, elegant and easy-going.

"The people in Jiangdong are probably aware of it."

"My father said," Liu Qi walked away with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent and rather disappointed, "If you are the master, you can sacrifice your subordinates to earn fame for yourself. In the end, Cao Cao will take over, just transfer Xu Zhen away, and then slightly reduce the intensity of the New Deal, the gentry will feel that they are valued and will stop making trouble."

After listening to Ma Di's introduction to Lu Su in a few words, of course it was not enough, Liu Bei made a gesture to signal him to continue talking.

"I'm here to express my condolences to Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou for my lord. I have written to you about this before, and I have brought a gift of condolence. I invite Mr. Liu Qi to accept it."

But Ma Di knew.

"Of course I have heard about it. When I was visiting sages in Jingzhou, I heard about it. Last night, I heard a few deeds. I admire you very much. Seeing you again today, I look forward to it even more."

Of course, for the great cause, it shouldn't be so impatient at this time. Liu Bei sighed deeply and didn't say anything else.

"If you want to resist Cao's army, I am afraid that the two sides need to unite together and station troops in the horns to help each other."

Liu Bei didn't say the latter sentence to fight against Cao together, and he just went to the end.

Liu Qi relied heavily on trust, which saved a lot of unnecessary etiquette. At this time, the two of them were taken aback again. Lu Su's name is not particularly famous, so they know little about it.

This Ma Di might not really be Xu Zhen's spy. First of all, he is not well-known, only Liu Qi knows about it.

"Brother, do you know who the messenger is?"

"How can we not feel the ruthlessness of the chaotic world when the old friends leave each other?"

"This..." Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and slowly came to his senses. He was stunned for a moment, his mind flicked, and he suddenly understood.

"Uncle, do you still know about my deeds?"

To keep invading Liu Bei's defensive line, it is better to explain everything directly, so as not to waste words in a tactful way.

Three, Ma Liang sent a letter to Liu Qi to recommend his younger brother, and also made it clear that Ma still appreciates Liu Biao's kindness back then.

"Expect what?"

After chatting for a few words, I felt very familiar with him, and there was less estrangement. This kind of ability to make friends surprised even Liu Bei, as if the two had known each other before.

"Young Master is in Jiangxia City, hosting a banquet for Zijing."

"Lu Su, whose name is Zijing, was originally a wealthy merchant in Jiangdong, with thousands of Xiangyong under his command."

"Okay, then go and meet this famous man from Jiangdong tomorrow!" Liu Qi nodded, and at the same time extended his hand to Ma Di, "I am very happy that you come here often, and I will rely on the help of the military advisor in the future."

He likes to listen to the anecdotes of literati from all over the world at home. People and businessmen who travel to the north and south often have some rumors circulating in various places, or he likes to talk, and there may be someone behind him.

Liu Bei was taken aback, "Why did you say that?"

"No way, he is nearly half a hundred years old, and the rest of his life will not be long. How can he still have the possibility of turning around after wandering around for half his life?"

"I heard that he was recommended by Zhou Yu and introduced him to Sun Ce. Overnight, the two brothers, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, talked with him on the couch until dawn. Since then, they have been in and out of his body, and Sun Ce's temper has been suppressed. Yu Se."

The man recalled it for a while, wrote the name of the messenger in his heart, and said it a few times when Gao Lan looked at it.

I feel that the words are not quite the same, and it is a bit mysterious. A few words can change Sun Ce's temper.

"This one should be Uncle Liu, right?"

"Why not? If you follow Uncle Liu Huang, Young Master Liu Qi, you will have this achievement if you win all the way. Isn't this achievement enough?"

The letter is still in the barracks, if you want to read it, you have to wait for Liu Qi to read it in person, because the words are concise and there is not much content, so Gao Lan asked someone to pass a message when he was busy.

If the scribes want to improve and be promoted, the most important thing is to attract attention first by publicizing their own deeds.

After all, if the small gentry want to survive, they must divide the talents of the family's heirs into different places, and they cannot be hanged on a rope.

"Huh?" Liu Qi and Liu Bei looked at each other, their eyes were surprised, but slightly surprised.

"Young Master, an expert once told me that if you want to fight against Cao Xu, you must unite with Jiangdong Tianzhu to repel his army and form a tripartite force."

Liu Bei suddenly realized, "That said, I understand that Zijing's words are indeed far-reaching. I will advocate to Mr. Liu Qi to unite against Cao and try my best to make this happen."

Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Ma Di narrowed his eyes.

"I'm Liu Bei, I've met Mr. Zijing."

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Thinking about it carefully, it's just that I lost my mind just now, please don't blame me, sir."

On the one hand, this is for the sake of being famous as a teacher, just like Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou back then, on the other hand, I am afraid that he really feels that his father died because of Liu Biao, and he must take revenge.

"Well, what Uncle Huang said is very true, so what does Uncle Huang plan to do now? Make friends with him, or hide it?"

"Zi Jing's words are very true," Liu Bei walked with him, nodding generously, "there are not a few heroes left now, and heroes in the world are emerging in large numbers, and the waves behind are always pushing the waves."

It turned out that it was not sent, but he wanted to come. If so, it would be more interesting.

After the lieutenant general left, several people sat down again to discuss the matter again.

Liu Bei shook his head bitterly. To this day, there is still no hope at all. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were defeated one after another, and they are all dead. Only a few of them fought against Cao Cao. Could it be that they really want to die and wait for Xu Zhen and Cao Cao to break up? Any chance of profiting from it?
"Uncle Huang, there is no need to be so pessimistic. In fact, the North-South War has not yet started. Our Southern Navy has never had a confrontation with the Northern Cavalry. If there is no confrontation, the outcome is unknown."

"Okay, listen to Zijing's words, if we can put aside our past enmity this time, and fight against Cao together, maybe we can achieve something."

Liu Qi is still young now, only in his early twenties. It is difficult to expect him to have the same outstanding talent and heart as Xu Zhen at this age.

Day two.

Secondly, there are not a few people in Jingzhou who specialize in studying Xu Zhen's record, and it is not uncommon in these years.

"The next step is Cao Cao taking over... So, Xu Bowen is leaving..."

Liu Bei finally couldn't help it, and said this in advance. In his opinion, if he didn't say it, it is very likely that Lu Su would never say it.

Perhaps, this Ma Su really abandoned Jingzhou and voted for Jiangxia.

Liu Biao once ordered Sun Jian to be killed. Although he returned Sun Jian's body and blamed Yuan Shao, Jiangdong continued to attack Jingzhou these years in the name of revenge for his father.

……

Of course Lu Su looked at it with a smile, and nodded slightly, "It should be good. Jiangdong and Jingzhou have been fighting for so many years, and they hate each other very deeply. Now that Liu Jingzhou has passed away, many people in Jiangdong still spontaneously pay their respects at home. Sigh."

From the boat, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a green robe, with a neat beard, a peaceful and soft face, and a smile, folded his hands.

At this time, Gao Lan sent someone to send news from the barracks. When he arrived in the lobby, he saw Liu Bei and his two brothers, plus a young Confucian scholar, so it was difficult to speak.

However, letting Liu Bei come to see him is somewhat intriguing.

"My lord is waiting in the city. I've heard of Zijing's name. I'm going to meet you first. I'm very eager to visit the sage."

These years of constant fighting with Jingzhou have also increased a lot of hatred, so these hatreds born of war are not so easy to reconcile. If you want the soldiers and horses of both sides to stop immediately and make peace with each other, and fight each other very tacitly. Some difficulties.

In the troubled times, people from poor families and Bai Ding's background kept appearing, only then did they realize that the promotion ladder controlled by the gentry back then had indeed blocked many great talents.

"This man can open several stone bows and break through iron armor with one arrow. He is extremely brave, but he has never fought on the battlefield, and he is a beheaded bandit."

Lu Su's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously.

"This must be said by the emperor's uncle, so that Zijing dares to accept it. It would be too frivolous if he took the initiative to say it. Back then, the hatred itself was deep, and being too proactive would seem to be an opportunity to design."

Ma Di's chest was lifted, and he said in a loud voice: "Young master, please rest assured! I will do my best, and I will definitely be able to turn the tide!"

"Looks like it's called Lu Su."

Lu Su said sincerely.

"Haha, Uncle Huang's words are lamenting that time flies. In my opinion, Uncle Huang's ambition has not yet come to fruition."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Lu Su really became serious. He nodded and smiled at him knowingly, and sighed: "What the emperor said is the real purpose of Zijing's visit this time."

"Not only that," Lu Su shook his head solemnly, stopped and grabbed Liu Bei's wrist, and said solemnly: "I need someone to accompany me across the river and discuss it in person. At least I must convince my Jiangdong officials, otherwise those Scholars dare not fight against each other, and if they obey others, they will not be able to unite with the enemy and truly work together."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, and suddenly understood, and for some reason, his blood rose again, and he began to look forward to it.

Perhaps such a combination really has a chance to defeat Cao Jun!
