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

Chapter 118 Going to Qingzhou as an envoy, Ju Shou recommended Tian Feng

Tobu Yang.

The coldness of the first month makes most people just want to hide in a shelter from the wind.

But in the barracks, the soldiers were struggling.

On the general platform, the general with thin eyes and short beard sat on the ground, holding a letter in his hand.

What is visible to the eye is suddenly the content of "Sun Tzu's Art of War. Marching":

Wherever the army meets the enemy, the mountains are far away from the valleys, and the place of life is regarded as high, and the battle is high and there is no climb, this is the army of the mountains.

"The mystery of the art of war is all in the book of Sun Wu!"

"It's a pity that I couldn't comprehend the truth before losing the battle."

The general with thin eyes and short beard was Cao Cao who had recuperated in Dongwuyang for more than half a year.

Since the loss of soldiers and generals in the First Battle of Xingyang, Cao Cao spent almost half a year studying military books and strategies.

Just wait for the time to come, to drive troops to challenge Dong again, Xue Xingyang is ashamed of being defeated.

Da da da--

There was a sound of hoofs.

Another handsome general came on horseback and stopped at the general's platform. It was Cao Cao's good friend, Bao Xin from Mount Tai, with the style of Yuncheng, resourceful, resourceful, good at martial arts and literary, Zeng Guan worshiped as a lieutenant of the empress military school.

"Meng De, there is a big event in Yecheng." Bao Xin's tone was a little anxious.

Seeing this, Cao Cao put down the book of war in his hand, and couldn't help laughing: "But that old man Han Fu wants me to join him in persuading Liu Yu to become emperor?"

"The reason why those of us raised our troops and made people from far and near respond is precisely because we are upholding righteousness."

"The Son of Heaven was young, and although he was controlled by Dong Thief, he did not lose the virtue of the Son of Heaven like Liu He, the king of Changyi. If he changed to someone else, who in this world would accept it?"

"These people don't want to send troops to the west and fight for the king to challenge Dong, but they are quite enthusiastic about supporting the establishment."

"The Han Dynasty is unfortunate!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Han Fu repeatedly urged Liu Yu to become emperor, and often wrote to Cao Cao to join him, but Cao Cao refused.

What made Cao Cao even more chilling was that Yuan Shao seemed to be behind Han Fu.

But Cao Cao was good at hiding his thoughts. Although he noticed the clues, he didn't go to Yuan Shao to confirm.

Don't say it, we are still friends.

To put it plainly, this friend is difficult to make.

But Bao Xin shook his head: "It's not a matter of support, but a matter of sending troops to Yecheng to question the crime at the beginning."

"Not only that, Ben Chu also shouted slogans: Han Fu persuaded Liu Yu to become emperor without authorization, which is disloyal; not saving the hungry people in Qingzhou, is inhumane; after being rejected by Liu Yu, it is unrighteous to accuse Liu Yu of being 'pedantic' and 'rat' .”

"Such an unfaithful, unkind and unrighteous person is not worthy of being a shepherd of Jizhou."

"Except for Sun Jin of Changshan Kingdom who has not made a statement yet, the prefects of Qinghe, Hejian, Anping, Zhongshan, Julu, and Zhao have all responded to Benchu's call and are now heading to Yecheng."

Cao Cao was taken aback: "Who gave this stupid plan to Benchu? Even if Benchu ​​wanted to be a shepherd of Jizhou, it wouldn't be so obvious!"

"Could it be Ziyuan? No, no, Ziyuan has always had great wisdom, and it is impossible to offer such a stupid plan to Benchu."

Bao Xinning said: "In the beginning, only Xu You and Feng Ji were the ones who came up with the plan. If it wasn't for Xu Ziyuan's plan, it must have been Feng Yuantu's plan."

"Feng Yuantu is good at military strategy. Instead of training and commanding the troops for Benchu, he is thinking about this strategy. It's stupid!" Cao Cao was a little annoyed.

It's not that Cao Cao thought it was wrong for Yuan Shao to seize Jizhou. If Yuan Shao could win Jizhou, Cao Cao would definitely support him.

The last time Yuan Shao had the intention of gaining fame, Cao Cao guessed what Yuan Shao was thinking, so he made a special trip to find Zhang Miao for help.

Cao Cao was furious that Yuan Shao would adopt such a stupid strategy!
Xingbing to question the crime?

A prefect, asked the state shepherd?

The reason for raising troops is to fight for another state shepherd?
Liu Yu didn't express his opinion, why are you so anxious, a Bohai prefect!
"Meng De, if we arrive in Ye City at the beginning, they will definitely send envoys to let us go, shall we go or not?" Bao Xin was also a little worried.

It seems that Yuan Shao seems to have the support of the scholars and people in Jizhou, and he can depose Han Fu.

But after all, Han Fu is the priest of Jizhou canonized by the emperor, so how can he be dismissed easily?
Once the governors of other states intervene, Yuan Shao's plans may come to nothing.

Bao Xin also understood this truth.

Cao Cao stood up, paced and meditated.

"Benchu ​​has raised his troops, if we don't respond, it will definitely make Benchu ​​resent."

"Changshan Kingdom is not far from Zhuojun. Since Sun Jin does not support Benchu, he will definitely report to Liu Yu."

"With Liu Yu's personality, he will definitely come to Yecheng to persuade him to make peace."

"After all, it was wrong at the beginning. Once Liu Yu came to Yecheng, the matter of deposing Han Fu would be nothing."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao stopped in his tracks: "Yuncheng, we will both prosper and lose together with Benchu. Although Benchu ​​used stupid tricks, we have to fight for him."

"If you receive a letter from Benchu, you should go to Yecheng to join Benchu. I have to go to Chenliu, and invite Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Xu to Yecheng to support Benchu's position as the 'Leader'."

"In this way, it is possible to convict Han Fu and make him take the initiative to give up the position of Jizhou pastor to Benchu, and Benchu ​​will temporarily take charge of Jizhou."

After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "Send someone to pay attention to the movements of Qingzhou Inspector Liu Bei."

Bao Xin was stunned: "Meng De is worried that Liu Bei will also intervene in this matter? But Ben Chu responded to Liu Bei's appeal twice, even if Liu Bei intervenes, he should support Ben Chu instead of Han Fu."

"After all, one of the reasons for asking the crime in the first place was that Han Fu saw danger and refused to save him."

Cao Cao frowned: "Yuncheng, although you are very wise and brave, you are not good at tactics."

"The core of the strategy is balance, and the most direct benefits to one's own side are obtained in balance."

"Although Benchu ​​responded to the appeal twice and seemed to be kind to Liu Bei, in fact, Benchu ​​only wanted to gain the reputation of saving the hungry people in Qingzhou, not really wanting to save Qingzhou."

"Liu Bei was able to kill Jiaohe with the help of the Yellow Turban Bandits and take advantage of the situation to obtain Qingzhou. There must be someone under his command who is well versed in the art of maneuvering, or Liu Bei himself is quite familiar with the art of maneuvering."

"For Liu Bei, maintaining the status quo in Jizhou is the most beneficial situation for Qingzhou."

"Jizhou Mu is Han Fu. He was afraid of Han Fu's suppression at the beginning, so he would fulfill his previous promise to Qingzhou for fame; An excuse to refuse to traffic grain to Qingzhou."

"Therefore, once Qingzhou learns about this matter, Liu Bei will definitely intervene for the benefit of Qingzhou."

"If you want Benchu ​​to become Jizhou Shepherd smoothly, you have to let Han Fu hand over the power of Jizhou Shepherd before Liu Bei and Liu Yu intervene."

"In this way, even if Liu Yu and Liu Bei are unwilling, they will not be able to reverse the overall situation in Jizhou!"

Bao Xin was stunned: "So! Qingzhou is far away, even if Liu Bei intervenes, it will take time. That's why Meng De went to Yanzhou to invite Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu to intervene."

Cao Cao sighed: "At the beginning, I was too anxious! Now Zhu Jun is in Luoyang. Zhu Jun has great loyalty and will not serve Dong Zhuo sincerely."

"Yuan Shu is already raising his troops in Nanyang to attack Dong Zhuo for the second time. If Zhu Jun intends to punish Dong Zhuo, he will definitely take the opportunity to contact the loyal people in the Guandong counties."

"And with Zhu Jun's invitation, at the beginning, we can raise volunteer soldiers and restrain Han Fu as the leader."

"On the way to seek Dong, it is not difficult to die as a Jizhou shepherd."

"At that time, Benchu ​​will be elected as Jizhou Mu with a justifiable name."

"It's a pity! Benchu's current behavior is far from that of Liu Bei in Qingzhou!"

Cao Cao had the helplessness of hating iron but not steel. Even Liu Bei knew how to kill with a knife, and then treated Jiao and his wife and children kindly to win back Jiao's and old troops' hearts, but Yuan Shao still played this trick of questioning crimes.

Is it true that no one in this world can see Yuan Shao's intention?
But now that things have come to this point, Cao Cao can only repair the loopholes in Yuan Shao's strategy except for a few words of anger.

If Yuan Shao is defeated, Cao Cao, who has always been friendly with Yuan Shao, will not get any benefits.

After carefully instructing Bao Xin, Cao Cao took Cao Hong south to Yanzhou.

And in Yecheng.

Han Fu was already frightened by Yuan Shao's raising of troops.

Apart from Changshan, the six counties were all supporting Yuan Shao, which made Han Fu feel both angry and frightened.

"Don't drive, Yuan Benchu ​​is ambitious and wants to take Jizhou from me. What should I do!" Han Fu, who was confused, quickly summoned Jushou to ask for advice.

Han Fu was angry, and Jushou was equally angry.

But it was not Yuan Shao who was angry, but Han Fu who refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on refusing to transport grain to Qingzhou.

If Han Fu could establish a reputation for saving Qingzhou righteously, the six prefectures of Qinghe, Hejian, Anping, Zhongshan, Julu, and Zhao would not all support Yuan Shao.

As long as the reputation is sufficient, more scholars will support Han Fu.

On the contrary, if the reputation is not enough, the consequences will be the same as now.

"My lord, the most urgent task is to send envoys to Qingzhou immediately, and promise Liu Bei, the governor of Qingzhou, to transport food, so as to get Liu Bei's support." Ju Shou held back his anger, but still offered a strategy to Han Fu.

Han Fu was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little unhappy: "Don't drive, you are asking me to ask Liu Bei for help? If you send an envoy to Qingzhou, wouldn't it give Liu Bei a chance to be humiliated?"

When Liu Bei was in trouble, Han Fu refused to give him food.

Now that Han Fu was in trouble, he went to Liu Bei for help.

Han Fu thought it was too shameful for Liu Bei to be condescending before and then respectful.

Jushou saw through Han Fu's entanglement, and although he was furious, he chose to continue admonishing him.

In his position, seek his position, take his responsibility, and do his best.

No matter how upset he was with Han Fu, Ju Shou insisted on fulfilling his duties as a Jizhou Biejia.

For Yuan Shao's low-level crimes, Ju Shou can't tolerate it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is not a fool." Ju Shou tried to persuade Han Fu in a tone that Han Fu could listen to: "If Yuan Shao is allowed to be the shepherd of Jizhou, Yuan Shao may not call on the counties of Jizhou to transport grain to Qingzhou."

"Therefore, the envoy only needs to send an eloquent man to Qingzhou to present his interests to Liu Bei."

"If Liu Bei wants to ensure that the food from Jizhou can be safely transported to Qingzhou, he must recognize the envoy's status as a herdsman in Jizhou."

"Only by maintaining the current situation in Jizhou can Liu Bei's interests not be damaged."

"The interests of the Shijun and Liu Bei are closely related, how could he humiliate the Shijun just because of a little personal grudge?"

Ju Shou's persuasion gradually made the awkwardness in Han Fu's heart disappear.

After careful deliberation for a while, Han Fu agreed to Jushou's proposal, but Han Fu was hesitant about the candidate to go to Qingzhou.

After all, it was hard to find such an eloquent emissary who would not embarrass Han Fu.

"Don't drive, do you have someone to recommend?" Han Fu thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Seeing this, Ju Shou quickly recommended: "Shi Jun, do you still remember Tian Yuanhao who was engaged in classics?"

Han Fu frowned immediately: "Don't drive, who is not good for you to recommend, you have to recommend Tian Yuanhao? This person is worse than Liu Zihui, he is just like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard."

"If you let him go to Qingzhou, if you offend Liu Bei, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

Tian Feng, a Julu native, was gifted and intelligent since he was a child. When he was young, he lost his relatives and stayed in mourning. Although the time for mourning has passed, Tian Feng still smiled without showing his teeth, so he was valued by his neighbors.

In this era that attaches great importance to filial piety, Tian Feng's performance can be called a model of filial piety.

And because Tian Feng was erudite and talented, he was very famous in Jizhou. He was recruited by the Taiwei Mansion at the beginning, recommended as a talented person, and was later selected as a servant of the censor.

Regardless of talent or virtue, he can be called a great talent in the world.

It's a pity that Tian Feng's upright personality is not suitable for being an official in Luoyang at all.

Tian Feng, who hates eunuchs in power and the murder of virtuous ministers, chose to abandon his official position and return home, out of sight and out of mind.

When Han Fu recruited Jizhou talents, Tian Feng was also recruited as Jizhou Book Cao, in charge of money and grain books.

However, because Tian Feng was too upright, Han Fu often disliked him, so Han Fu changed Tian Feng to study classics, and asked Tian Feng to manage education and politics.

In Han Fu's eyes, Tian Feng is like a stone in a latrine, which is smelly and hard.

If he had known Tian Feng's nature earlier, Han Fu would not have conquered him!
Jushou was even more disappointed with Han Fu.

If you don't respect the magi, how can you unify the state and the people?
"My lord, Tian Yuanhao has a good and fair plan, and can speak eloquently. I would like to guarantee it with my life!" Ju Shou cupped his hands and kept silent.

I wanted to say that Liu Bei has benevolence and integrity, and would not be angry because of Tian Feng's words, but Ju Shou was worried that praising Liu Bei would make Han Fu unhappy, so he chose the simplest and direct way.

Since you say Tian Feng is not good, then I, Ju Shou, will guarantee it with my life!

Seeing Jushou's appearance, Han Fu frowned even more.

But right now, Han Fu couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Tian Feng.

a long time.

Han Fu said loosely: "Since you don't want to risk your life, then send Tian Feng to Qingzhou. If you can't get Liu Bei to intervene, then don't come back!"

"Don't go directly to give orders to Tian Feng, I won't see him."

Thinking of Tian Feng's temper, Han Fu feared that he would not be able to avoid it, so why would he summon Tian Feng.

Ju Shou secretly sighed, and didn't persuade him any more.

With Tian Feng's temperament, even if he agrees to go to Qingzhou, Han Fu must be scolded before going to Qingzhou.

Withdrew from the State Shepherd's Mansion, and Ju Shou came to find Tian Feng himself.

Although he was demoted to work on classics, Tian Fenggan and his party loved him and managed the academic and political affairs in an orderly manner.

"Brother Yuan Hao!" Ju Shou greeted him from a distance.

Seeing Jushou's arrival, Tian Feng's serious and staid expression relaxed a little: "Gongyu is not in the state pastoral mansion to deal with official business, how come you have time to find me today?"

Ju Shou laughed loudly: "Naturally, if there is a difficult matter, I should ask brother Yuan Hao for help!"

Tian Feng snorted coldly: "It must be related to Han Fu who can make the public difficult for you! I'm just a student of classics, I only study politics, and don't care about other things!"

Ju Shou chuckled: "If it's related to Mr. Zi Hui, Yuan Hao, would you help?"

Tian Feng looked at Jushou in surprise: "Zi Huigong?"
