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

Chapter 127 Qiaokui Junyi, Liu Bei meets a good general again

don't camp.

Cao Cao sat at the same table with Xu You, and while warming the wine, he asked, "Ziyuan, why didn't you persuade me to use this clumsy plan at the beginning?"

Xu You smiled indifferently: "Whether it's a clumsy plan or a good plan, it's not my plan, Xu Ziyuan's, so why bother?"

This answer left Cao Cao speechless.

Just because it's not your own plan, so you don't care about it?

Holding the bottle of wine, Cao Cao said in a concentrated voice, "Ziyuan, if you lose at the beginning, it will be difficult to seek Jizhou again. Fengyuantu's plan, if it is perfected by you, Ziyuan, it will be a good strategy."

Xu You sneered: "Meng De, you also know that a good strategy can only be perfected by me, Xu Ziyuan! But Feng Yuantu, he won't give it a chance."

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "But I remember that Feng Yuantu is from Qitong County, and you recommended him to Benchu."

Xu You drank the warm wine and sighed softly: "That's why I said that there are ungrateful people everywhere in this world. Feng Yuantu is greedy for merit and refuses to listen to persuasion. At first, he believed Feng Yuantu credulously. Why should I Going to bitterly remonstrate and make Ben Chu unhappy?"

"Meng De, you should also be able to feel that Ben Chu is more arrogant and domineering than before. If you don't pick up nice words, Ben Chu will get angry."

"I still want to be rich and powerful under Benchu's command, but I won't follow Zhang Mengzhuo's outspoken advice and involve the country's righteousness."

"Flaty when it's time to flatter, and speak beautiful words when it's time to speak beautiful words."

"When Feng Yuantu's strategy completely fails, Benchu ​​will naturally think of asking me for a good strategy."

Xu You saw clearly.

Although he kept talking about his origins, Xu You had always respected Yuan Shao, at least in front of Yuan Shao.

From time to time, a few words of flattery, if the situation is not good, stop it, give up admonition, as long as there is no mistake, it is meritorious.

"Alas—" Cao Cao let out a long sigh.

Cao Cao is also very aware of the changes in Yuan Shao's personality.

Since Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, he acted more boldly.

Especially after the death of Yuan Kai and others, Yuan Shao became more bossy and went his own way as if he had let go of himself.

He secretly instigated Han Fu to persuade Liu Yu to become emperor, and after seeing that Liu Yu was determined not to become emperor, he accused Han Fu of usurping him, and even gathered Jizhou scholars to depose Han Fu, the Jizhou shepherd.

As the "Leader", he played all kinds of cronies, successful and rampant.

"Why did Meng De sigh?" Xu You chuckled, "Although he became domineering and arrogant at first, at least you and I are both beneficiaries."

Cao Cao said in a concentrated voice: "Ziyuan also knows that we can all benefit from being a shepherd of Jizhou. Then why did he raise his eyes just now and ask me not to say more?"

"It's not like there is no chance to counterattack now."

Xu You shook his head: "Meng De, the little chance you mentioned doesn't exist at all! Even if you believe Liu Bei wants to support Han Fu at the beginning, so what?"

"Could it be possible to have a real fight with Liu Bei at the beginning?"

"At the beginning, I came to inquire about crimes, not to seize power by force!"

"Once it is used by force, it will not only cause fierce resistance from Han Fu's subordinates, but also with the intervention of Youzhou and Qingzhou, the counties and states that originally responded to the original will also give up the original after weighing the pros and cons."

"Although you let Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Xu from Yanzhou come, there is a gap between Zhang Miao and Yuan Chu, and Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu are just looking at the favor of their fellow clansmen. It really involves key interests At that time, they couldn't help Benchu."

"Ben Chu had already lost when Han Fu sent out the [-] stone grain and grass!"

"Tomorrow's banquet is just going through the motions and giving Benchu ​​and Han Fu a step up."

Cao Cao was silent.

Xu You's reasoning was very clear, Yuan Shao didn't dare to use force, and with the intervention of Qingzhou and Youzhou, it would be difficult for Han Fu to give up Jizhou Mu with only deterrence.

"It's Meng De, I'm curious how Liu Bei persuaded you." Xu You looked at Cao Cao with interest.

Cao Cao didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Liu Bei asked me if I still wanted to be a thief, and wanted me to follow Lu Zhi to attack Dong Zhuo."

Xu You clapped his hands and laughed: "Liu Bei knows Meng De very well. Whether he was criticized for helping Benchu ​​capture Jizhou or helping Lu Zhi gain a reputation as a thief is enough to make you hesitate about Benchu."

Cao Cao sighed helplessly: "After all, I am different from Benchu. As soon as Benchu ​​raised his arms, there were Yuan's disciples and old officials flocking here."

"But I raised my arms, and only the relatives of the Xiahou family and the Cao family were willing to come."

"If you can't grab righteousness, who in this world will look at me, the eunuch queen?"

"I can only grasp the righteousness of King Qin begging for thieves, so that I can gather talented people and use them for me."

Xu You poured another bottle of wine and said bluntly: "Unfortunately, Lu Zhi's method of using troops is too orthodox. In short, it is a woman's benevolence. If you are not ruthless and decisive enough on the battlefield, how can you win! "

"I expect that even if Meng De has the heart to seek a thief, he will not be restrained by Lu Zhi."

Cao Cao chuckled: "Ziyuan knows my heart well! I really think so, so I didn't give a clear answer to King Liu Beiqin's hunting for the thief."

After a pause, Cao Cao looked at Xu You with more enthusiasm: "Ziyuan, have you ever thought about collaborating with someone else?"

Xu You raised his eyelids: "Meng De, don't play tricks between us. It is impossible for you to want me to conspire with you."

"You also know that when you raised your arms, only the Xiahou family and the Cao family responded; when you raised your arms at the beginning, Yuan's disciples and old officials flocked to you."

"Don't blame me for hitting you, it's too slow to follow you to conspire with you!"

"You might as well follow me and work together at the beginning, and save you from poaching people everywhere."

"If you hadn't cheated Han Hao of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, would Wang Kuang have resentment towards you?"

Cao Cao looked a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect that the Prince's Day would come back."

Last year, Wang Kuang sent soldiers and horses led by Han Hao to garrison Mengjin, and Taishan soldiers to garrison Heyangjin.

But because of Dong Zhuo's bluff, Wang Kuang mistakenly thought that Xiliang soldiers would go to Pingyin County to cross the river, so Wang Kuang chose to stick to the river bank.

As a result, Dong Zhuo sneaked into Xiaopingjin with his elite troops and went around to Wang Kuang's rear. Wang Kuang was almost wiped out and fled to Chenliu to join Zhang Miao.

Han Hao also stayed in Chenliu.

Before that, Han Hao's uncle Du Yang was the county magistrate of Heyin and was captured by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo threatened Han Hao to join him, but Han Hao refused, and Han Hao's heroic reputation spread.

Yuan Shu heard that Han Hao was in Chenliu and invited him to take the post of captain of cavalry. Cao Cao heard the news and went to Chenliu with Xiahou Dun to recruit Han Hao in person.

The level of Cao Cao's virtuous corporal is not much worse than that of Liu Bei. How could Han Hao accept Cao Cao's "courteous treatment", and felt that Wang Kuang really had no future and often used torture, so he switched to Cao Cao.

When Wang Kuang returned from recruiting troops, he found that Cao Cao had tricked Han Hao into running away while he was away, and immediately became angry!
If Zhang Miao hadn't stopped him, Wang Kuang would have fought Cao Cao on the spot.

It was Zhang Miao who promised money, food, soldiers and horses, and gave Wang Kuang a temporary residence in a city to temporarily resolve the conflict.

"Meng De, you and I have been friends for many years, let me tell you the truth." Xu You put down the wine bottle: "If you poach people like you, you won't be able to find any great talents."

"Listen to my advice, follow Benchu ​​with peace of mind! I plan and plan internally, and you lead the army outside. With the friendship between you and Benchu, who among these other people can shake your position under Benchu's command?"

Cao Cao was noncommittal.

But in his heart, he disagreed with Xu You's words.

Once this friend becomes a monarch and minister, it is difficult to be a friend again.

Now that Yuan Shao is still weak, he can be friends with Cao Cao and Xu You.

But once Yuan Shao really dominates the north of the Yellow River, Cao Cao and Xu You still regard themselves as Yuan Shao's friends, and they are looking for death!

Cao Cao, who is well versed in tactics, understood this early on.

Seeing Cao Cao's silence, Xu You knew that the persuasion just now was useless, so he changed the topic and only talked about Fengyue.

The next day.

Han Fu held a banquet in Yecheng, and ordered the army commander Zhang He to lead the crowd to welcome Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others at the gate of the city.

When he came to Liu Bei, Zhang Yun bowed his hands to Liu Bei and said, "Liu Shijun, please move away and see you."

Liu Bei saw that although Zhang He was a military general, but his demeanor was quite elegant, he immediately liked him, and asked in return, "I don't know what the general's name is?"

Zhang He hurriedly said: "Return to Ambassador Liu, I am from Hejian, my surname is Zhang, my name is He, and my name is Junyi. I was conscripted by the envoy of Han, and I was added as Sima in the army."

Liu Bei praised: "Zhang Sima has a refined and elegant style, which is amazing. It is my honor to meet you today. Please ask Zhang Sima to lead the way, so that I can talk to Zhang Sima more."

Zhang He looked distressed: "Emissary Liu, I am here to welcome you under the order of Emissary Han, and it is difficult for me to leave."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "No rush, I'll just wait in the city. After Zhang Sima finishes his work, it won't be too late to see Ju."

Seeing what Liu Bei said, Zhang He gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered the lieutenant for a while, and then returned to Liu Bei: "If you let Liu Shijun wait in the city, it will appear that I am rude in Jizhou, please Liu Shijun come with me. "

Zheng Ping quietly followed behind Liu Bei, watching Liu Bei warmly make friends with Zhang He.

Zhang Yun, one of the five good generals, also followed Han Fu at the beginning.

After Han Fu gave up Jizhou Mu, Zhang Yun chose to follow Yuan Shao.

But whether under Han Fu or Yuan Shao's command, Zhang He was not reused.

Being afraid of being held accountable by Yuan Shao because of Guo Tu's slander, one can imagine how much Yuan Shao didn't trust Zhang Yun.

But Zhang He's ability is not bad. If Gao Lan and Zhang He hadn't been framed by Guo Tu and turned back, even if Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao would not have lost too badly.

Zhang He is very Confucian and elegant, and can respect scholars. For today's Qingzhou, there is a shortage of talents like Zhang He.

At this time, Zhang Yun was just a small army Sima under Han Fu's command.

"Han Fu has many talented generals under his command, but it's a pity that he can't use them."

"The brave general Qu Yi, the Confucian general Zhang He, the brave general Gao Lan, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou are all shocking talents. If they can be regarded as arms, why should Yuan Shao be afraid of causing trouble in Jizhou?"

"Since Han Fu can't use it, let the envoys take him away!"

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, quietly looking at Zhang Yun who seemed a little flattered by Liu Bei's verbal offensive.

After arriving at the destination, Zhang Yun looked at Liu Bei with admiration.

"Liu Shijun, Ju Biejia is right in front of the gazebo, I have to go back to the city gate, so I won't follow." Zhang He bid farewell to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei couldn't let go: "I wish I could get to know Junyi earlier, and when I help Mr. Han solve the troubles, I will definitely host a banquet for Junyi in person."

Zhang He was even more moved: "Thanks to Liu Shijun's great love, He is just a small army commander and cannot afford Liu Shijun's banquet."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Why should Junyi underestimate himself! When I see Mr. Han, I will definitely recommend Junyi to Mr. Han. With such a talent, how can he be just a general in the army?"

After Zhang He left, Guan Yu asked incomprehensibly, "Brother, since you like Zhang He so much, why don't you let him come to Qingzhou to serve as an official?"

Liu Bei smiled but did not answer.

But Zheng Ping said: "Yun Chang, if you are favored by Han Fu and Han Fu asks you to go to Jizhou to serve as an official, would you like it?"

Guan Yu didn't hesitate to think: "Brother treats me with such kindness and righteousness as a mountain, how could I betray my brother just because of Han Fu's invitation?"

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Zhang He is also a military commander who was recruited by Han Fu. Han Fu can also be regarded as Zhang He's benefactor. This favor has not been repaid, how can he betray him?"

"If Zhang He sees the benefits and forgets his righteousness, he resigns from his post and comes to Qingzhou, I am afraid that the envoy will not dare to use Zhang He."

"However, if Zhang He is recommended in front of Han Fu, Han Fu will thank the envoy for being a member, and Zhang He will also thank the envoy for being valued by Han Fu."

"If something happens in Jizhou in the future, Yun Chang knows who Zhang Yun will think of first?"

Guan Yu came to a sudden: "So that's the case, it's Guan who misunderstood the big brother's intentions."

Liu Bei laughed: "Xianmou knows my heart! Although I like Junyi, I don't want to embarrass him. It is also easy to recommend Junyi to Han Shijun."

"If Junyi gets the attention of Han Shijun because of this, I am really happy for Junyi."

While laughing, a vigorous and powerful voice came from far and near.

"Is it Liu Shijun from Qingzhou?"

Guan Yu took a look at the sound and introduced to Liu Bei: "Brother, that is Jizhou Biejia Jushou."

Seeing Jushou approaching, Liu Bei hurriedly strode forward, saluting as he walked, "I've heard about Ju's name for a long time, and seeing you today is really a blessing!"

For Jushou, Liu Bei is sincerely grateful.

Liu Hui in Qingzhou Zhizhong was recommended by Jushou, and Tian Feng, who was sent to Qingzhou as an envoy, was also recommended by Jushou.

I met Zhang Yun today because Jushou wanted to see Liu Bei.

For Liu Bei, Jushou is simply a lucky star who gathers talents!

Guan Yu was about to go up to follow, but Zheng Ping stopped him with a fan: "Yun Chang, don't bother the envoy. This is Jizhou Biejia, a rare talented man in the world, Ju Gonghe! With a good and peaceful plan, his Only ten times better than me."

"If I can invite him to Qingzhou in the future, I will be able to relax a lot."

Guan Yu was surprised that Zheng Ping would praise Jushou so much that he used words like "his talent is ten times better than me". After hearing Zheng Ping's last words, Mr. Secret Dao was still the same Mr.

What is ten times better, sir, you simply think that the current state affairs are too heavy!

"Mr. has traveled to Zhuzhou and counties to learn all the talents in the world. There are still some unruly generals in Jizhou. Can Guan recruit for the elder brother?" Guan Yudan narrowed his eyes, and he was very interested.

"An unruly general?" Zheng Ping fell into deep thought.
