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

Chapter 103 The struggle for power and strategy, awarded by Hebei righteous men

The existing hidden dangers in Qingzhou are not difficult to guess for a resourceful person like Feng Ji.

Hundreds of thousands of hungry people cannot be settled in Qingzhou alone.

This is not to provide food for hundreds of thousands of hungry people for two or three months, but to manage the food for these hundreds of thousands of hungry people from this winter to next autumn.

And this is just an ideal state.

If next year's harvest is unsatisfactory, the hidden danger of food shortage in Qingzhou will continue until the third or even the fourth year.

Although I don't understand why Liu Bei insists on resettling these hundreds of thousands of hungry people, in Feng Ji's eyes, Liu Bei's behavior is tantamount to digging his own grave.

If you have too little appetite, you will eat indiscriminately, and you will be stuffed to death.

Feng Ji's strategy immediately made Yuan Shao think.

Liu Bei couldn't resettle hundreds of thousands of hungry people, but Yuan Shao could.

With the name of four generations and three princes, and the leader of the Dong League, all you need is a word from Yuan Shao, and this big family with food in Jizhou will rush to transport the food to Qingzhou!

The big clan weighed their interests, and they could get Yuan Shao's favor just by transporting some food, which was almost a sure thing.

"Yuan Tu's plan is very clever!" Yuan Shao clapped his palms and meditated, "It's just that the situation in Qingzhou is different from that in Yuzhou, and it requires a strong and hardworking person to be competent."

"Otherwise, when I arrive in Qingzhou, the counties will not accept it, and the Yellow Turban will rise again. Not only will I lose my reputation, but it will also make the people of Qingzhou resent me."

"Ziyuan, Yuantu, can anyone recommend them?"

Yuan Shao is not a fool.

Those who are sent to Qingzhou must not only be able to govern the people with literature and military skills, but also have integrity, so that they will not forget Yuan Shao as the recommender just because he became the governor of Qingzhou.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to resenting Liu Bei and making wedding dresses for others.

Feng Ji thought for a moment, and said: "Zang Ziyuan in Guangling County has always been a man of integrity. He can govern civil affairs and is also good at military affairs. When Suanzao met, he also took the initiative to give up the position of leader of the alliance to Duke Ming."

"Regardless of talent, fame, and integrity, he can be called a hero in the world."

"I heard that Zang Ziyuan is still in Chenliu, and the Duke of Ming can announce that he is the governor of Qingzhou. At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, and Yuan Xu, the prefect of Jiyin County, to prepare money and food to go to Qingzhou with Zang Ziyuan! "

"The Duke of Ming can also spread the word to the counties and counties in Jizhou to support Zang Ziyuan in governing Qingzhou."

Yuan Shaoxi said: "If a man of Ziyuan's integrity can be appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, it will be a blessing for Qingzhou!"

Just when Yuan Shao, as the lord of the alliance, was preparing to send someone to Chenliu to inform Zang Hong, a call to action suddenly arrived in Bohai County.

When Bohai County Prime Minister saw the call to action, he was so shocked that he almost lost his mind, and hurriedly came to the government office to see Yuan Shao.

"My lord, there is a message from the governor of Qingzhou to be delivered!"

Yuan Shao was taken aback.

Another call to action?

Does Liu Bei really regard himself as the governor of Qingzhou?

Sweeping the proclamation, Yuan Shao sat up in shock in an instant, and his tone became sullen: "Liu Bei, how dare you be so rampant!"

Xu You and Feng Ji didn't know the situation, so they hurriedly asked why.

Yuan Shao flicked the proclamation, and his anger remained undiminished: "Look for yourselves! Liu Bei, it's a shame that I called on the big clans in Jizhou to traffic grain and rice into Qingzhou. Shameful ungrateful people! Shameful!"

Xu You and Feng Ji picked up the call to action, and Jun Cheng tactfully withdrew from the government office.

Seeing the content of the call to arms, even Xu You and Feng Ji were shocked by the content of the call to action.

The call to action has been polished, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, which can be called a masterpiece of contemporary articles.

But the core content is more absolute than rhetoric.

The general idea is: if the people in Qingzhou are hungry, if they don’t provide relief, they will hunt around like a tiger. They may go to Jizhou, Yanzhou, or Xuzhou.

In order to prevent hungry people from fleeing to the three prefectures of Hebei, Yanzhou and Xuzhou like tigers, Liu Bei appealed to the state shepherds, governors, prefects, and prime ministers of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou to donate money to those who have money and food to save the people together.

At the end of the call-to-action, it also specifically emphasized that there are 50 hungry people in Qingzhou, and the food stored is only enough for one month. If there is insufficient food in Qingzhou due to the cold weather and inconvenient transportation of food, it cannot continue to help the hungry people.

In order to keep the hungry people alive, Liu Bei could only call on the hungry people to go to states and counties with money and food to eat.

A lot of rhetoric is used, but there is only one real purpose.

Liu Bei needs a lot of money and food, but this time he is not going to spend money to buy it.

"Gathering hungry people into tigers to blackmail the three states of Ji, Yan, and Xu is such a vicious plan, who is plotting for Liu Bei?" Feng Ji couldn't help exclaiming.

Feng Jigang offered Yuan Shao a plan to seize Qingzhou.

As a result, Liu Bei was one step ahead and directly used this poisonous trick to blackmail Yuan Shao.

It's as if someone stepped on Fengji directly on the ground, and then told Fengji condescendingly: Don't show off such trivial tricks as a shame.

This made Fengji feel very ashamed.

Before the plan even started, it was declared over.

Let Zang Hong be the governor of Qingzhou?
As far as Liu Bei's tough attitude is concerned, it is useless to go.

Feng Ji could almost imagine that when Zang Hong delivered the food to Qingzhou, Liu Bei would directly praise Zang Hong and thank Zang Hong for sending the food.

As for the delivery of Qingzhou?

It would be considered a courtesy for Liu Bei not to expel Zang Hong from the country.

Xu You said quietly: "Since the last time Liu Bei preached, I sent people to Qingzhou to inquire."

"This Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's disciple. He was originally a mat weaver and shoe seller in Zhuo County. He made some small contributions and was appointed the county captain of Gaotang County under the appreciation of Pingyuan Prime Minister Chen Ji."

"Because of his meritorious service in exposing the former Gao Tang Ling to adultery with the Yellow Turban thief, he was promoted to Gao Tang Ling."

"Not long after, Chen Ji, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, claimed to be ill and asked Liu Bei to try to serve as Prime Minister of Pingyuan. During this period, Liu Bei was appreciated by King Pingyuan, who betrothed his niece to Liu Bei."

"After the autumn harvest, the yellow turbans of the counties and states in Qingzhou rose again. Liu Bei first broke the yellow turbans of the Pingyuan country and beheaded the leader of the bandit Sima Wei; then saved the Beihai country and beheaded the leader of the bandit Zhang Rao; after Jiao He died, Liu Bei was recommended as the governor of Qingzhou."

"It's been less than half a year from a small Gaotang county lieutenant to governor of Qingzhou. The speed of promotion is astonishing!"

"I have carefully considered the civil and military people around Liu Bei, and the only one who can plan this plan for Liu Bei is Zheng Ping, the son of Duke Kang Cheng of Beihai, who is now in Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Mr. Kang Cheng is a well-known official in the country. He is known for his integrity. How could his son use such vicious tricks?"

Xu You shook his head: "At first, this plan seemed malicious, but it was not."

"Liu Bei broke the yellow turban and gathered the hungry people. What he wanted was fame, but the fame was too great for Liu Bei to eat alone. Therefore, Liu Bei spread the message to all states and counties, and wanted to gather everyone's strength to share the fame of saving the people in Qingzhou."

"But Liu Bei was worried that his reputation was not enough, so he did the opposite and used this strategy to blackmail the states."

"With the current situation in Jizhou, if you want to replace Han Fu at the beginning, you will inevitably lose your reputation. Therefore, you need a lot of reputation to make up for the damage to your reputation."

"Yuan Tu's plan for Qingzhou is exactly the same."

"It's a pity that there are capable people under Liu Bei's command, who took the first step to cut off the opportunity to plot Qingzhou."

"At the beginning, if we continue to plan for Qingzhou, we will not only enmity Liu Bei, but also may cause Liu Bei to form an alliance with Han Fu."

Yuan Shao's anger gradually dissipated.

Although Fengji's strategy was good, he failed to seize the opportunity.

If you continue to target Liu Bei and let Liu Bei form an alliance with Han Fu, it will become more difficult for Yuan Shao to plot Jizhou again.

"I respect Kang Chenggong so much!"

"Since it is the son of Lord Kang Cheng who is offering advice to Liu Bei, I have to be a bit thinner."

Yuan Shao found a step.

Zheng Xuan's reputation is too great!

After the ban on the party was lifted, court officials heard about Zheng Xuan's name and rushed to invite Zheng Xuan to become an official.

General He Jin was the first to conquer Zheng Xuan. Due to the pressure of state and county officials, Zheng Xuan had to go to Luoyang to meet He Jin.

In order to show respect, He Jin threw a banquet in honor of Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan refused to wear court clothes in order to preserve the dignity of a famous official, and he only met He Jin in casual clothes.

Such a rude move would have been slaughtered by He Jin long ago.

But He Jin not only did not blame, but treated each other with courtesy.

Seeing that such rudeness could not disgust He Jin, Zheng Xuan had no choice but to escape from Luoyang overnight.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, the Sansifu conscripted Zheng Xuan twice, but Zheng Xuan refused.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Zheng Xuan, Xun Shuang, Shen Tupan, Xiang Kai, Han Rong, Chen Ji and other 14 people were enlisted as doctors, but Zheng Xuan did not go because of his father's death.

Yuan Kai wanted to recommend Zheng Xuan as his servant, but Zheng Xuan refused on the grounds of being in mourning.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor Shao, and Gongqing recommended Zheng Xuan to be the prime minister of King Zhao, but Zheng Xuan still refused.

Everyone else wants to be a minister but can't, Zheng Xuan can be a minister but doesn't want to.

Feng Ji secretly sighed and said no more.

In terms of strategy, Fengji is not as good as Xu You, Fengji is better at commanding troops against each other.

Therefore, Feng Ji felt a serious sense of frustration in his heart after this plan that was excitedly offered died before it was implemented.

Yuan Shao paused, then looked at Xu You: "Yuan Tu's plan can't be used, but Ziyuan has another clever plan?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu You's mouth: "Kang Chenggong's son is indeed very intelligent, but after all, he chose the wrong master, and it is difficult to reverse the general trend of the world. If he was originally in Qingzhou, why should he share the fame of saving the people?"

Xu You flattered Yuan Shao for a while, which made Yuan Shao very useful: "Ziyuan's words are reasonable, but Liu Bei is just a child who weaves mats and sells shoes, how can he be compared with Yuan's family of four generations and three princes?"

"If I were in Qingzhou, I would raise my arms and send my own money and food to Qingzhou, so why use this strategy of selling my reputation?"

Xu You said again: "Although Liu Bei intends to sell his reputation, not everyone can see through Zheng Ping's intention. Qingzhou's reputation for saving the people is just like asking for Dong's reputation."

"The more people go, the less fame you get, and the later you go, the harder it is to gain fame."

"If you are interested at the beginning, you can respond to Liu Bei before Han Fu, and at the same time call on the big families in Jizhou and Yuan's disciples and old officials to respond."

"This time is different from the last time. The 50 hungry people in Qingzhou urgently need food, and the transportation is inconvenient due to the cold weather. If we have to inform Jizhou Mu and make a decision after discussion, it will inevitably delay the time to save the hungry people in Qingzhou."

"At the beginning, I just took this opportunity to minimize Han Fu's control over the counties and states in Jizhou."

"At that time, Youlue will make a small plan, and Han Fu will be able to hand over Jizhou!"

Xu You smiled again.

Xu You is quite conceited about the art of strategy.

Yuan Shao clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Liu Bei has Zheng Xuan to help, and I have Zi Yuan to plan and plan. The general trend of the world is in my hands!"

Laughing three times, Yuan Shao immediately summoned the cronies and scattered officials of Bohai County, and began to rob Qingzhou of the reputation of saving the people.

And in Wei County.

Jizhou Mu Hanfu also received Liu Bei's biography.

Like Yuan Shao, Han Fu's first reaction when he saw the proclamation was to scold Liu Bei for being shameless.

"The mat weavers and shoe sellers have repeatedly helped Yuan Shao, it's really hateful!"

The last time Liu Bei preached, Yuan Shao gained a lot of fame in Jizhou, and Han Fu has always been brooding.

It didn't take long for Liu Bei to preach again.

But this time, he didn't pretend at all!

If it weren't for the gorgeous rhetoric of this call-to-action, it would be almost impossible to tell Han Fu directly: Qingzhou is short of food, Jizhou is rich, donate more!

"Come here, send an order to all the counties immediately. Without the permission of the pastor, no prefect or prime minister of any county is allowed to donate money and food to Qingzhou!"

Han Fu was full of anger, and he had only one thought at this moment.

If Liu Bei dares to threaten 50 hungry people, then be prepared to be backlashed by 50 hungry people.

As for whether the 50 hungry people will come to Jizhou?
Han Fu is not afraid at all!

This Wei County is far away from Qingzhou, even if it wants to harm it, it will harm those counties that have violated Han Fuyang.

Just when Han Fu was about to convey the order, Jizhou Biejia Jushou, who heard the news, hurried to find Han Fu.

"My lord, please withdraw the order quickly, otherwise Jizhou will be in danger!"

When Ju Shou came to persuade him, Han Fu said disapprovingly: "Don't drive, it's just a delusion of a child who weaves mats and sells shoes. How can it make Jizhou dangerous?"

"Ben Mu is the Jizhou Shepherd canonized by the Son of Heaven, so Liu Bei is just the governor of Qingzhou himself. With a fake job, he dares to blackmail Ben Mu with 50 hungry people. It is too serious for himself."

Jushou was very depressed.

The delusion of a child weaving mats and selling shoes?
How can someone who can pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in less than half a year be delusional?

"Emissary!" Ju Shou emphasized his tone: "Let's not mention Liu Bei, if Yuan Shao responded to Liu Bei's appeal and called on the counties and states in Jizhou to support Qingzhou, what should the envoy do?"

"If you don't allow the prefects and ministers of the counties and countries to donate money and food to Qingzhou, it's just seeing the danger and not helping."

"If this is a normal day, if you make the excuse that there is no food in Jizhou, you won't let the people in the world say anything."

"But Yuan Shao has already responded to Liu Bei's appeal last time, so he will definitely not miss this opportunity to gain fame this time."

"Just think about it, if this decree is issued, how many prefects and prime ministers in the counties and states of Jizhou will support the envoy?"

"Isn't that enough to make Jizhou dangerous?"

Ju Shou saw through his little knowledge, not only saw through the intention of Zheng Ping's strategy, but also saw the danger of Jizhou's future.

Although Han Fu, the Jizhou shepherd, was canonized by the emperor, if the counties and states in Jizhou refuse to accept Han Fu, it is not impossible to find an opportunity for Han Fu to die in an accident.

Although Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Bandits, a resourceful man like Jushou could clearly see the real reason for Jiao He's death.

Jiaohe is immortal, and the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou is hard to beat!
Seeing that Jushou spoke seriously, Han Fu panicked.
