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

Chapter 128 Divide Jizhou, Liu Bei persuades and Yuan Han
If it is said that under Han Fu's command, who is the most rebellious and rebellious, Qu Yi, who went to the camp first, would be the first one.

Qu Yi was born in Liangzhou, and he is proficient in the warfare of the Qiang people. He also has a group of private soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, and they are desperate to fight.

This trilogy only listens to Qu Yi's orders, and even Han Fu can't direct the slightest bit.

Because of this, Han Fu was wary of Qu Yi, and Qu Yi was dissatisfied with Han Fu's attitude.

According to Han Fu's thinking, this person is too rampant, and he embraced himself as soon as he came to Jizhou, so he will get it later?

According to Qu Yi's idea, I came all the way from Liangzhou to help you, yet you suspect me?

But it can't be all blamed on Han Fu, even Yuan Shao can't tolerate Qu Yi's unruliness.

Especially after repeatedly defeating Gongsun Zan and making great achievements, Qu Yi is even more self-confident and arrogant.

It is not an easy task for a capable and rebellious general like Qu Yi to serve Liu Bei!
"Most unruly people are arrogant, but in terms of arrogance, there is no one in this world who can be more arrogant than Yun Chang!"

"If Yun Chang can suppress Qu Yi, it is equivalent to recruiting a team of pioneers who can fight well for the envoy."

Zheng Ping silently weighed the pros and cons.

Qu Yi is a double-edged sword, if used well, it will be extremely sharp, but if used poorly, it will devour the master and rebel.

To use Qu Yi, you need to use grace and power together.

Show kindness to Qu Yi, so that he can fight Liu Bei to death.

Use prestige on Qu Yi to make him dare not take credit for pride and breed rebellion.

"One envoy is enough to recruit a strong general. As long as Yun Chang can make a name for himself in the westward campaign against Dong Zhuo, no matter how unruly a strong general is, he will not dare to breed a rebellious heart." Zheng Ping gave Guan Yu an answer with a smile.

This matter of recruiting fierce generals does not require Guan Yu to go.

When it comes to greeting each other with feet upside down, swimming with arms together, talking with knees together, sleeping with feet on feet, weaving mats and shoes, asking about the cold and asking about warmth, like a fish in water, etc., who in this world can compare with Liu Bei?
Well, Liu Bei is enough.

In order to be awe-inspiring, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other first-class fighters need to be deterred by their outstanding military exploits.

And like Zheng Ping, a counselor who can count people to the bone is deterrent enough to drive tigers and leopards forward.

Seeing that Zheng Ping was confident, Guan Yu didn't ask any more questions.

But Guan Yu silently kept in mind Zheng Ping's phrase "While conquering Dong Zhuo in the west, he gained his prestige".

"Wuwei Kyushu, righteousness beyond the world."

"Who can be what I want!"

The arrogance is faintly visible in Danfeng's eyes.

the other side.

Liu Bei eagerly chatted with Ju Shou.

It was Jushou who invited Liu Bei for a while, but Liu Bei took the dominant position when talking about it, as if Liu Bei was inviting Jushou with kindness.

"Bie Jia has devoted all his efforts to Jizhou. Han Fu will definitely obey Bie Jia's words in the future." Liu Bei praised sincerely.

But upon hearing this, Ju Shou secretly sighed.

If Han Fu could really do what he said, how could he be reduced to where he is today?
Although Jushou made a great contribution to Han Fu's plan this time, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, so how could Han Fu obey Jushou's advice?
What's more, Han Fu might be worried that Ju Shou would be arrogant due to his achievements, so he chose to deliberately alienate Ju Shou.

But Jushou didn't say what was in his heart, and asked about the business: "Liu Shijun, is it possible to make Yuan Shao retreat at today's banquet? Han Shijun has no idea, so let me ask in private."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Don't worry! Since I'm here to persuade Yuan Taishou to retreat, I'm sure that Yuan Taishou will retreat. It's just that it's better to settle this enemy than to end it. Han Shijun also has to leave a step for Yuan Taishou."

"Otherwise, the pressure is too tight, and Yuan Taishou will become angry from embarrassment, and it is unknown whether he will put all his eggs in one basket."

Ju Shou nodded: "Liu Shijun is right, I will go back and advise Han Shijun. But how to give this step, does Liu Shijun have any suggestions?"

Liu Bei said without hesitation: "Although Taishou Yuan sent troops to Yecheng for many reasons, his purpose is only one, and that is Jizhou!"

"However, this Jizhou, Han Shijun must not be able to give it, and I will not sit back and watch Yuan Taishou's subordinates commit crimes and depose the imperial court governor at will."

"You can ask Mr. Han to appoint the military and political affairs of Bohai County, Hejian Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, and Qinghe Kingdom, including the appointment and dismissal of officials, to Yuan Taishou, so that he can also manage the four countries."

"Yuan Taishou can no longer interfere in the military and political affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Julu County, and Zhao Kingdom, and at the same time publicly recognize the identity of Han envoy Jizhou Mu."

"Divide Jizhou between Han Shijun and Yuan Taishou!"

How to coordinate the conflict between Han Fu and Yuan Shao, Liu Bei had many discussions with Zheng Ping when he came here.

Finally, the strategy of letting Han Fu and Yuan Shao rule Jizhou was decided.

Firstly, the Hejian Kingdom, Anping Kingdom and Qinghe Kingdom were adjacent to Bohai County, and they were basically infiltrated by Yuan Shao.

Regardless of whether Han Fu grants authority or not, these places will also violate Han Fuyang, so it is better to directly give it to Yuan Shao as a replacement for benefits.

Correspondingly, Yuan Shao no longer intervened in the military and political affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Julu County, and Zhao Kingdom, which meant that Yuan Shao gave up the officials, officials and people who originally supported Yuan Shao in Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Julu County, and Zhao Kingdom.

Giving up means betrayal.

Even if Yuan Shao gets all of Jizhou in the future, the officials and people of these four counties will feel jealous and guard against Yuan Shao.

Zheng Ping is very happy to add sand to Yuan Shao's eyes.

"Shall Jizhou be divided?" Ju Shou carefully considered Liu Bei's proposal.

a long time.

Ju Shou nodded and said: "Like Liu Shijun's policy, dividing and ruling Jizhou will indeed make both Han Shijun and Yuan Taishou a step down. I will persuade Han Shijun to agree to this policy, but this Yuan Taishou has more Liu Shijun. I'm bothered."

After discussing the details with Jushou, Liu Bei turned back and went to the banquet with Zheng Ping and Guan Yu.

"Master, do you agree?" Zheng Ping asked as he walked.

Liu Bei nodded: "I agree, Ju Biejia is responsible for persuading Han Shijun, and we are responsible for persuading Yuan Taishou. With Hejian Kingdom, Anping Kingdom and Qinghe Kingdom, Yuan Taishou will not lose face too much."

And in the banquet hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

In addition to Liu Bei and Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu, and the prefects and ministers of the prefecture and state who followed Yuan Shao have all attended the table.

"Everyone, please forgive me for being late."

As soon as Liu Bei entered the banquet hall, he apologized to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, but no one would really question Liu Bei at this time, it was just some polite etiquette.

After a while, Han Fu and Jushou also arrived at the banquet hall and sat down at the main seat.

Han Fu's eyes were a little relaxed, obviously he had a careful discussion with Jushou just now.

There was a burst of greetings and greetings.

Under Han Fu's signal, Ju Shou cut the small talk to the point: "The reason why all of you are here today is because Han Shijun persuaded Da Sima to proclaim himself emperor."

"Da Sima sent a letter a few days ago, emphasizing that Han Shijun's persuasion of Da Sima to become emperor is for the righteousness of the country, and it is not that Han Shijun has the intention of usurping."

"Now that the emperor is suffering in Chang'an, we should have worked together instead of complaining and arguing with each other."

Ju Shou spread out Liu Yu's letters, and showed the contents and imprints of the letters to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others one by one to prove the authenticity of the letters.

Yuan Shao had a gloomy face and did not speak.

Feng Ji said knowingly and asked: "Farewell, Da Sima doesn't want to ask the crime, but Yuan Taishou, as the leader of the alliance against Dong thief, should restrain the words and deeds of the members of the alliance."

"Han Shijun's morality is bad. He not only insulted the chief Sima, but also refused to save the hungry people in Qingzhou. How can a person who has no regard for the righteousness of his family and country be qualified to be the shepherd of Jizhou?"

It was inconvenient for Yuan Shao to say something, Feng Ji did his part to say it.

After a while of questioning, Han Fu was frightened and angry at the same time.

He wanted to go back in anger, but he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be completely angered by this.

"That's wrong!" With a chuckle, Zheng Ping shook his fan and said, "Mr. Han never failed to save the hungry people in Qingzhou, but because the bandits from the Black Mountain invaded at that time, Mr. Han was worried that the money and food would be transported to Qingzhou. The hungry people in the county had no food to eat, so they replied and declined."

"How can this be called turning a blind eye?"

Feng Ji was stunned: "Bie Jia Zheng, why are you still speaking for Han Shijun?"

This is not right!

The script is not like that.

Didn't you agree yesterday that you won't help Han Fu?
Yuan Shao also looked at Liu Bei in surprise, with doubts and anger in his eyes.

Liu Bei didn't change his face, and gave Yuan Shao a sign of "be safe and don't be impatient".

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, but did not speak.

But Cao Cao, Xu You and others sat quietly without speaking.

"This is not to speak for Han Shijun, but the fact is the way it is. Qingzhou has no need to maliciously smear Han Shijun." Zheng Ping waved his feather fan and said calmly: "Now Han Shijun gave Qingzhou [-] stones of grain and grass, which is enough to prove that Mr. Han has no intention of turning a blind eye to danger."

Han Fu, who was in charge, quickly said: "Yes, that's it! It was true that the bandits from Heishan had the intention of invading, so I politely declined Liu Shijun's request for help."

"Now it is confirmed that the Black Mountain bandit's invasion is just a rumor, so I have specially prepared one hundred thousand stones of food and grass to express my apology."

"This heart is clear, and the world can learn from it!"

Still this heart is clear, the world can learn from it?

We believe in a ghost!
Han Fu's speech aroused the secret contempt of everyone in the banquet hall.

Feng Ji was even more annoyed.

Ben also thought that Han Fu could take the initiative to abdicate today, and Yuan Shao would become the shepherd of Jizhou as a matter of course, and he would be able to be promoted because of this.

With his talented talents, wouldn't it be more than enough to be a Jizhou don't drive?

result.

This reality hits the face so fast, after only one night, the wind direction changed directly?

Looking back at Yuan Shao whose face was gradually gloomy, Feng Ji gained courage: "Liu Shijun, Ming people don't speak dark words, what exactly does Qingzhou mean?"

Liu Bei smiled but did not answer.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled lightly, and answered Feng Ji's question: "Since I have made it clear, let me answer your question for Liu Shijun."

"Qingzhou's attitude is very simple, to persuade peace and not to persuade war!"

"Liu Shijun has a suggestion, please listen carefully."

Zheng Ping glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "Since the counties and states of Jizhou believe that Mr. Han is mediocre and unworthy of being the shepherd of Jizhou, Yuan Taishou, who is from a famous family, should be in charge of Jizhou."

"Then how about comparing the two sides, who is more suitable to be Jizhou Mu?"

Feng Ji was taken aback: "How do you compare?"

Zheng Ping laughed and said, "It's very simple! Prefect Yuan is in charge of Bohai County, Hejian Country, Anping Country, and Qinghe Country, while Zhongshan Country, Changshan Country, Julu County, Zhao Country, and Wei County are governed by Han Shijun."

"With a period of one year, if one year later, the one county and three kingdoms under Yuan Taishou's charge are better than the two counties and three kingdoms governed by Han Shijun, and the lives of the common people are better, then how about Qingzhou supporting Yuan Taishou as the shepherd of Jizhou?"

"Conversely, if Prefect Yuan can't manage the county and the three kingdoms well, how about being the prefect of Bohai County with peace of mind?"

Feng Ji said angrily: "This is impossible! This is an unfair competition, why should Han Shijun have one more county?"

Zheng Ping's eyes turned cold: "First of all, Changshan Kingdom is adjacent to Heishan, and a lot of manpower and material resources will be consumed to resist the Heishan bandits, while Bohai County, Hejian Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, and Qinghe Kingdom are not burdened by the Yellow Turbans. In any case, it is Yuan Taishou who occupies them. It's cheaper."

"Secondly, this is the attitude of Qingzhou! Whether it is fair or not is decided by Han Shijun and Yuan Taishou, and it is not up to you, a small account official, to dictate here."

"Are you treating me and other ministers like nothing?"

"Or, do you have malicious intentions and want to plunge the entire Jizhou into war for your own selfishness?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be beheaded here. Who dares to say no?"

This sudden scolding instantly made Feng Ji stand on the spot in a daze.

Zheng Ping's killing intent, which was as substantial as it was, made Feng Ji break out in a cold sweat.

That look can really kill!

Xu You secretly sneered.

In order to be able to make great contributions and ascend to heaven in one step, Feng Ji only advises Yuan Shao as an official in charge of the account.

This was not a problem at first, after all, the official in front of the account was also Yuan Shao's confidant, so naturally he would not treat Feng Ji badly.

However, on today's occasion, those who are eligible to sit in the seat are either the governor of the state, the prefect of the country, or the general Fenwu like Cao Cao.

A front office official really has no right to talk too much!

Fengji is so angry.

Want to get angry but dare not!
Although he is Yuan Shao's confidant, but Zheng Ping is an official, what qualifications does he have to have a dialogue with Zheng Ping alone as a small front office official?
Zheng Pingken's explanation was already polite to Feng Ji, and if Feng Ji was ignorant and still angry, wouldn't that be ignoring Zheng Ping's identity as a different driver?
debate?

Zheng Ping was not in the mood to argue with Feng Ji at all.

If you can use power to suppress people, why use your tongue.

Feng Ji was about to speak again, but was softly repelled by Yuan Shao.

Looking at Liu Bei who was still smiling, Yuan Shao suppressed his anger: "Mr. Liu, is this what Qingzhou means?"

Liu Bei responded with a smile: "Prefect Yuan, as the saying goes, it is better to settle enemies than to tie them up! Now that the Great Sima has not yet arrived, Prefect Yuan and Shijun Han still have a chance to make peace."

"If Da Sima comes, he may not agree to divide Jizhou."

"Could it be that Yuan Taishou is not confident that he can defeat Han Shijun?"

Please be as aggressive as generals.

Liu Bei's last rhetorical question made Yuan Shao's anger even worse: "How could I be inferior to Han Fu? But I dare to agree to the comparison, does Han Fu dare to compare?"

Yuan Shao called him by his first name, and stared at Han Fu coldly, like a poisonous snake.

Han Fu looked at Yuan Shao in fear, and his tone became hesitant: "Bi is Bi, as long as you don't interfere with the affairs of Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, Zhao and Wei."

Yuan Shao laughed bitterly: "Do I need to intervene? Han Fu, don't blame me for your incompetence!"
