Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 102 Liu Bei was targeted for the conquest of Qingzhou

"Hahaha"

Lu Zhi laughed heartily.

The official career in this life has been full of ups and downs, but Lu Zhi is indifferent to fame and fortune, never changes his original intention, and he is educated without distinction, accepting students from all over the world.

But Lu Zhi always had a regret in his heart.

Among the many disciples, none could inherit Lu Zhi's art of war.

It's not that there are no ones who are good at fighting, but in Lu Zhi's heart, the person who inherits the art of war must first have integrity!

Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed.

If he is taught by someone who has evil intentions and is not loyal to the Han Dynasty, it will not only be a tragedy for the Han Dynasty, but also destroy the great integrity that Lu Zhi has insisted on throughout his life.

therefore.

Lu Zhi was unable to find a suitable student to teach until he met Guan Yu!

Although I have seen Guan Yu before, but at that time Guan Yu was just a horse archer beside Liu Bei, and he couldn't get into Lu Zhi's eyes.

On the way to the south, Lu Zhi became interested in Guan Yu after listening to Zhang Fei talking about Guan Yu's past and character.

After coming to Linzi City and learning more about Guan Yu's character, Lu Zhi came up with the idea of ​​taking Guan Yu under his family.

It's just that Lu Zhi didn't expect that the first time he offered to accept a student was rejected.

If it was a different person, Lu Zhi would have left in a huff.

But Guan Yu really made Lu Zhi love him too much.

With the bravery of thousands of enemies, he can uphold loyalty and righteousness. He often recites the Spring and Autumn Days and teaches himself the art of war.

How could Lu Zhi not love such a talent?
"The old man has reached the age of knowing his destiny, and he has recruited many disciples, but none of them can inherit the old man's art of war." Lu Zhi stroked his short beard slightly, and his tone was more gratified: "To meet Yun Chang today, my wish is enough! "

Guan Yu was also very moved.

Guan Yu has actually always had a crush on Lu Zhi since he was studying "The Dog's Tao" presented by Zheng Ping.

Zheng Xuan's commentary on "Tao of the Dog" only made "Tao of the Dog" easy to understand, but when Lu Zhi reviewed "Tao of the Dog", he often left some insights.

Those who are in charge of the army should keep great integrity in order to repay the benefactor.

This concept is almost consistent with Guan Yu.

"Congratulations uncle, you got your wish!" Zheng Ping congratulated.

Let Guan Yu apprentice Lu Zhi, Zheng Ping unanimously promoted it secretly.

When Zheng Ping presented Guan Yu with "The Dog's Tao", he had such an idea.

In terms of major festivals, Guan Yu and Lu Zhi are both loyal people, and they never forget the righteousness of repaying their benefactors even in difficult situations.

Compared with Lu Zhi, although Guan Yu is more brave in martial arts, but lacks a lot in literary strategy.

Only by making up for the military strategy with the literary strategy can Guan Yu's advantages be highlighted as much as possible.

And having the status of Lu Zhi's disciple also gave Guan Yu an advantage in dealing with scholars.

If he is not Lu Zhi's disciple, Guan Yu will be considered as contemptuous of scholars.

But being Lu Zhi's disciple, it was different.

Because of Lu Zhi's reputation as a great Confucianist, and Guan Yu was the successor Lu Zhi devoted himself to cultivating, even if Guan Yu was a little arrogant, he would not necessarily be considered contemptuous.

The imposing manner and reputation are there, and ordinary scholars want to gain Guan Yu's respect, at least they have to show their real talents!
"Second brother, my three brothers are all students of Master Lu." Zhang Fei approached Guan Yu with a smile, and lowered his voice: "Second brother, return "Lu Shi's New Book" to me."

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know: "What "Lu's New Book"?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback, then jumped up and said, "Second brother, of course it's the "Lu Shi's New Book" given to me by Master Lu."

"Oh." Guan Yu said lightly: "Third brother, can you return the fine wine that was given to you last time?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Fei said, "You gave it to me, how can I return it?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei's face suddenly collapsed: "Second brother, you lied to me again!"

Hahaha.
There was a burst of laughter, but Liu Bei couldn't help laughing heartily.

Following Liu Bei'er's laughter, Zhang Fei also laughed.

All of a sudden, there was laughter in the government office, and there was joy.

After a while.

Zheng Ping also suggested: "Emissary, please let uncle go to Pingyuan Kingdom with Yun Chang. Just let uncle go to see King Pingyuan, and the marriage of the envoy should also be put on the agenda."

A trace of hesitation suddenly flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Xianmou is right! Master Lu, please leave this matter."

Lu Zhi nodded.

One of the purposes of going south was to preside over the marriage between Liu Bei and Pingyuan Wang Liu Shuo's niece Guo Zhao as Liu Bei's elder.

After all the arrangements have been completed, everyone will go to their respective posts.

Zheng Ping stayed alone: ​​"Do you have something on your mind?"

Seeing that Zheng Ping saw the clue, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing: "Xianmou, I'm just a little worried. If the plan fails, it won't mean that the other party's lifelong event will be missed."

Zheng Ping laughed: "Your envoy is worrying too much. Mr. Guo Xian married his dead husband three times before he left the cabinet. How could he be worried that his life's major events would be delayed because of the envoy's plan?"

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. As long as the envoy is still there, even if the real destiny is not there, will Guo Xianren abandon the envoy and leave alone?"

"What's more, I don't think the plan will fail."

"Your Majesty, don't lose your tenacity and learn from the mediocrity!"

Zheng Ping's remonstrance made Liu Bei feel a little ashamed, and the confidence in his brows also recovered: "You're laughing out loud! Everything in Qingzhou has reached the most critical moment. If you shrink back at this time, it will really be a waste of all previous efforts. "

At present, all counties, counties and townships in Qingzhou are resettling refugees with great fanfare.

Qingzhou has experienced the disaster of the Yellow Turban, and there are many unowned fields and houses.

These fields and houses were registered and registered, and temporarily belonged to the government.

The reason why it is said to be temporary is that the people who avoided asylum came back and caused disputes over property rights.

Liu Bei adopted Zheng Ping's suggestion and distributed the land to the refugees on a per-person basis, and also made a book for registration.

At the same time, the refugees resettled in counties, counties and townships were given monthly grain and rice, and the refugees were organized to reclaim wasteland and work in workshops designated by the government.

Almost all the available disaster relief methods were used by Liu.

The resentment in the resettled refugees' hearts is also decreasing day by day when they see the government doing this.

But these resettled refugees didn't know that Liu Bei's grain storage in Qingzhou was being consumed by astronomical figures every day!
Although there are merchants from neighboring prefectures who are selling grain and rice, the supply is not proportional to the consumption, and the money and grain in Liu Bei's treasury are gradually becoming dangerous.

This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Ping refused Tai Shici's request to conquer Guan Cheng.

Almost all the money and food in Qingzhou were used to support the people, and there was no extra to support Tai Shici's conquest of Guan Cheng.

After a pause, Liu Bei took a deep breath and his eyes became firm: "Xianmou, you come to draft. It's time to give Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian, Bohai Governor Yuan Shao, Chen Liu Prefect Zhang Miao and others have passed the call!"

Gather refugees into fierce tigers to swallow the world!
This is the most critical part of Zheng Ping's layout to solve the scourge of Qingzhou.

It is now the end of the first year of Chuping.

This year, Liu Bei rose up in Qingzhou, but the general situation of the world also changed after Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo wanted to contain Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai Sea. On Xu Rong's recommendation, he sent a letter to Gongsundu, a native of Xu Rong's same county, as the prefect of Liaodong.

Jingzhou Inspector Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo sent a letter to Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, as Jingzhou Inspector.

At this time, Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, surrounded by the people of Nanyang, supported by Sun Jian and former officials of the Yuan family, and straddled Nanyang and Runan, with a great momentum.

Although Yanzhou has a small area, its registered population is far greater than that of Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

There are Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu and other ambitious governors and prefects who each support their own troops and have many conflicts with each other.

Jizhou Mu Hanfu wanted to let the counties and states of Jizhou obey his orders, and desperately suppressed Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai.

Liu Yu, shepherd of Youzhou, was at odds with Gongsun Zan, prefect of Youbeiping, and the conflict between the two sides was increasing day by day.

Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian, although he had Danyang's elite soldiers, was weak in controlling Xuzhou. In the north, Zang Taishan bandit occupied Langya, in the south Zhang Chao occupied Guangling, and most of Xiapi was controlled by former officials of Xiapi Chen's disciples.

If it weren't for the support of Mi Zhu in Donghai County, Tao Qian would have had many difficulties in Xuzhou.

Because of resentment for the lack of support of the Xiapi Chen family, Tao Qian connived at Xiapi Xiang Ruorong to collect money, and the conflict with the Xiapi Chen family deepened.

And in this complicated situation.

Yuan Shu was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao because of the alliance against Dong!
Among the princes of the entire alliance, except for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's desire to win Dong is the strongest.

It's not that Yuan Shu wants to help the Han Dynasty.

It was Yuan Shu who wanted to avenge the Yuan clan's death and replace Dong Zhuo!
Dong Zhuo was not favored by the scholars, but Yuan Shu came from the fourth generation and the third prince. If Dong Zhuo was defeated, Yuan Shu would become the minister of the country to help the great man!
He was born in a famous family and has contributed to helping the country. Once Yuan Shu came to power, the ministers would approve, the little emperor would not object, and the public opinion of the scholars in the world would also be biased towards Yuan Shu.

Even if Yuan Shao and others didn't want to obey orders, they didn't dare to oppose it openly.

Therefore, after the failure of the first alliance, Yuan Shu reached an agreement with Sun Jian to provide Sun Jian with food and grass, and support Sun Jian in his bid for Dong.

At the same time, Yuan Shubiao played Sun Jian as the general who broke the captives and also led the governor of Yuzhou. He was preparing troops in Luyang and preparing to attack Dong Zhuo again.

At this time, Yuan Shao wrote another letter to Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could support Liu Yu in proclaiming himself emperor.

Liu Yu is in the north and Yuan Shu is in the south. This supports Liu Yu's proclaiming himself emperor, isn't it just making Yuan Shao's wedding dress?

Yuan Shu, who was already dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, immediately ordered someone to fork out Yuan Shao's emissary.

Although Sun Jian attached himself to Yuan Shu, he also wanted to gain fame by begging Dong Lai, and defeated Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen in Luyang.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shu's momentum to challenge Dong Dong gradually grew, and many heroes and sages scrambled to attach themselves because of Yuan Shu's appeal for Dong Dong again.

But the more powerful Yuan Shu became, the rest of the people who had participated in the alliance such as Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Zhang Miao and others felt uncomfortable.

Yuan Shu's purpose is already obvious!

Since you don't ask for Dong, I, Yuan Shu, will do it myself.

But the reputation of discussing Dong belongs to me, Yuan Shu, alone!

"Guild Road, how dare you humiliate me!"

Balhae County.

Yuan Shao was so angry that his face was a little distorted.

Thinking that Yuan Shu was from his own family, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Yuan Shu to support Liu Yu together.

In all fairness, when Yuan Shao wrote to Yuan Shu, he really regarded Yuan Shu as one of his family.

After all, the Yuan family belongs to the same family, and the disciples and old officials are all over the world.

Yuan Shao is in the north, and Yuan Shu is in the south. These two brothers support Liu Yu. Besides Liu Yu's own reputation, who would oppose it among the Kwantung scholars?
As a result, Yuan Shu not only scolded Yuan Shao for being unfaithful and unrighteous, but also directly forked Yuan Shao's envoy out!

Being slapped in the face by his own brother, Yuan Shao's anger can be imagined.

After calming down, Yuan Shao also guessed Yuan Shu's purpose, and then looked at Xu You and Feng Ji: "Ziyuan, Yuan Tu, Gonglu doesn't want to support Liu Yu, so he must still have the intention of begging Dong."

"His base is in Nanyang County, and it is convenient for him to attack Dong Zhuo."

"If Gonglu is really allowed to challenge Dong Chenggong, my lordship will exist in name only, and I will have to live on the breath of Gonglu from now on!"

"Is there a good way to teach me?"

Xu You sneered: "Yuan Shu extorted violently in Nanyang, and the scholars and common people suffered unspeakably. Such a person deserves to speak against Dong?"

"If I don't say it at the beginning, I will ruin Yuan Shu's deployment!"

"Now Yuan Shu announced that Sun Jian was the governor of Yuzhou, and ordered Sun Jian to march westward. At the beginning, he also announced that one person was the governor of Yuzhou. After Sun Jian went west, he was ordered to enter Yuzhou."

"Seeing that Yuzhou has made a mistake, Yuan Shu will definitely panic and call Sun Jian back."

"After Yuan Shu leads his troops to scramble for Yuzhou, we can try to provoke Yuan Shu's battle with Yanzhou, so that it will fall into chaos and cannot withdraw."

"In this case, what qualifications does Yuan Shu have to ask Dong?"

Yuan Shao clapped his palms and laughed: "Ziyuan is worthy of being unparalleled in intelligence. If he uses this strategy, he will definitely return in vain in the road campaign against Dong Zhuo! He extorted violently in Nanyang, and failed in the campaign against Dong Zhuo. His reputation will be bad."

"Gaolu, Gonglu, if you support Liu Yu, I can still support Liu Yu based on the past, but if you have to tear your face apart, then I can't show mercy to you."

"Zhou Yu from Kuaiji is an old official of the Yuan family. He was invited by Meng De to form an alliance. He has two thousand elites under his command. He can be appointed as the governor of Yuzhou and conquer the counties of Yuzhou!"

After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again: "Liu Yu has repeatedly refused to claim the title of emperor. It is very difficult to use Liu Yu's name to gain a foothold north of the Yellow River."

"I intend to replace Han Fu, but I'm concerned about the damage to my reputation. I don't know if Ziyuan has a good plan?"

Xu You didn't answer, but looked at Feng Ji.

Both of them were from Nanyang, so Xu You naturally had to give Feng Ji a chance.

Feng Ji pondered for a while, and said: "Minggong, I have a plan, which can bring Minggong a lot of fame."

Yuan Shao became interested: "Please also ask Yuan Tu to speak frankly!"

Feng Ji cleared his throat, and said earnestly: "Recently, I heard that Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, died in battle, and Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, was recommended by the state officials as the governor of Qingzhou."

"But I thought that Liu Bei would not be qualified to serve as governor of Qingzhou if he didn't have a public performance!"

"Duke Ming can show another person to serve as the governor of Qingzhou to appease the scholars and people of Qingzhou."

Xu You couldn't help laughing and said: "Then Liu Bei is good at fighting, and almost all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have been wiped out."

"In the beginning, Biaozuo alone served as the governor of Qingzhou at this time, which is tantamount to taking away Liu Bei's credit."

"How can Liu Bei agree?"

Feng Ji laughed: "What if you disagree? Who made Liu Bei have such a big appetite that he wanted to resettle the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees."

"If Liu Bei disagrees, it will be difficult to say whether the grain from Jizhou can be transported to Qingzhou."

"After all, transportation may not be very convenient in this cold winter."
