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

Chapter 194 Making money in a proper way, Qingzhou and Zhuzhou are in chaos

"The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has already been delivered to the Grand Sima of Youzhou."

Zheng Ping did not hide the whereabouts of Chuanguo Yuxi from Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu is different from Cao Song.

Zheng Ping only wanted Cao Song to move all his money to Qingzhou, but he didn't want to have too many friends with Cao Song.

But Mi Zhu is something both Liu Bei and Zheng Ping are trying to win over.

Employing people in Qingzhou has always put virtue first, talent second, and family background third.

And Mi Zhu's behavior is very consistent with Qingzhou's employment philosophy.

Although Mi Zhu's ancestors did not have prominent scholar-bureaucrats, there are not a few of Liu Bei's ancestors who did not become officials.

As long as the virtues and talents are satisfied, even if the background is poorer, it will not have much impact.

In terms of origin, Liu Bei also came from a humble background.

Weaving mats, selling shoes, raising swords and riding horses to earn fame.

The origin of the Han family clan was gradually recognized after Liu Bei established his foothold in Qingzhou.

Knowing the whereabouts of the Chuan Guo Yuxi, Mi Zhu couldn't help being shocked, and looked at Zheng Ping with a little more surprise: "The whereabouts of the Chuan Guo Yuxi should be a secret, but Xianmou actually told me about it?"

Not to mention that the Chuan Guo Yuxi is in Liu Yu's place, which will make the rumors of slandering Liu Bei self-defeating.

This trust alone is enough to shock Mi Zhu.

However, Liu Bei sent the Chuanguo Yuxi to Liu Yu, but deliberately did not respond to the rumors and explained that there was obviously a secret plan.

If Mi Zhu releases the news that Chuan Guo Yuxi is at Liu Yu's place at this time, it will definitely destroy Liu Bei's plan!
"Brother Zizhong is from my own family, so naturally there is no need to hide it." Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, and passed the message on behalf of Liu Bei: "The envoy often says that Donghai Mi Zizhong has helped Qingzhou a lot, and his virtues are well-known in the world, he is a hero who can be absolutely trusted !"

"It's a pity that brother Zizhong has already served in Xuzhou, otherwise the envoy will definitely visit and invite brother Zizhong to Qingzhou to serve as an official."

"Since I can be absolutely trusted, then I don't need to hide the matter of passing on the jade seal to Brother Zizhong."

If these words came from Liu Bei, maybe Mi Zhu would think that Liu Bei was being polite.

But from Qingzhou Biejia Zheng Ping's mouth, it feels different.

"Mr. Xuande is such a hero!" Mi Zhu secretly sighed.

After pondering for a moment, Mi Zhu said again: "Xianmou asked me about the general situation of the world, and told me the whereabouts of Chuanguo Yuxi. There must be something that needs my cooperation."

"Please speak out!"

"As long as I can do it, I will go all out."

Mi Zhu emphasized the words "go all out".

This is Mi Zhu expressing his opinion to Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Brother Zizhong, the envoy will not let you do anything difficult."

"But I do have one more thing. If I can get brother Zizhong to cooperate, it will be a blessing for Qingxu!"

"Xiapi Xiang Ruorong was cruel and greedy, and he set up temples in Xiapi County to promote Buddha."

"If Ruo Rong is like Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, whose purpose is to educate the scholars and the people, reduce killings, and relieve the poor, then it is naturally worthy of respect."

"But Ruo Rong took the opportunity to amass money. Promoting the Buddha is also for self-interest. He can neither teach the people to be good, nor let the poor live comfortably. He is just a sinister person who fools the people."

"But Ruo Rong is deeply trusted by Tao Shijun, Qingzhou should not intervene in persuasion."

Mi Zhu said: "The meaning of being conspiratorial is that you want me to persuade Tao Shijun to restrain Ruo Rong?"

"But my advice may not be useful."

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong misunderstood, I am not asking you to persuade Tao Shijun, but to advise Ze Rong."

"What's the use of prospering Buddha in Xiapi? What's the point of having more Buddha bathing meetings? The White Horse Temple was burned down by Dong Zhuo!"

"Only by building another White Horse Temple in Guanggu City can the Buddha know his heart towards the Buddha!"

Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The White Horse Temple in Luoyang became ruins because of Dong Zhuo's fire followed Luoyang.

And Guanggu City is the place where Liu Bei came to welcome the emperor to move his capital.

For Ruo Rong, the temptation is too great!
Mi Zhu was also shocked by Zheng Ping's thoughts.

Ruo Rong is cruel and greedy, but he is obsessed with Buddhism.

But Ruo Rong's way of believing in Buddhism is not to chant scriptures, but to use the way of officialdom to follow the trend.

Accumulating wealth to prosper the Buddha has harmed thousands of scholars and people, but the blessing is only for Ruo Rong.

But now, Zheng Ping wants Ruo Rong to rebuild the White Horse Temple in Guanggu City.

This is to let Ruo Rong send all the money accumulated in Xiapi to Qingzhou!
With Zheng Ping's cunning, the White Horse Temple will definitely be repaired, otherwise it will damage Qingzhou's prestige.

However, to build the White Horse Temple, you have to buy land and requisition people. The price of the land and how to requisition people have to follow the rules of Qingzhou.

As long as Ruo Rong believes that Guanggu City will become a land of dragon prosperity, he will definitely not be able to refuse the temptation!

No matter how much money is spent, Ruo Rong has to win the land for building the White Horse Temple in Guanggu City!
For this kind of thing, Zheng Ping came forward to lobby Ruo Rong directly, but the effect was not great.

And if Mi Zhu goes to lobby, the possibility of success is very high.

After all, Mi Zhu is now deeply trusted by Tao Qian, and he is the richest tycoon in Xuzhou. At the same time, he has obtained a lot of secrets from Zheng Ping.

a long time.

Mi Zhu took a deep breath, and exclaimed: "I have to admire, the idea of ​​showing conspiracy is always refreshing."

"Persuading Ruo Rong to go to Guanggu City to rebuild the White Horse Temple is much easier than persuading Tao Shijun to restrain Ruo Rong."

"But I have a question. Xianmou is the son of Duke Kangcheng of Beihai, so he probably shouldn't be interested in Buddha."

"If the White Horse Temple is really rebuilt in Guanggu City, isn't Xianmou worried that there will be a large number of people in Qingzhou seeking Buddha?"

Zheng Ping laughed: "To me, there is not much difference between Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and writing. As long as it can lead people to be good, it should be a treasure for inheritance."

"A hundred schools of thought contended in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a large number of sages emerged, and a large number of classics have been handed down to this day."

"Although I was born in the Zheng family of Beihai, I am not the inheritor of Zheng school."

"As an official, I have to guide those who seek the Buddha how to seek the Buddha correctly."

"For example, Ruo Rong, a high-ranking and powerful person who likes to collect money, should use the money to rebuild the White Horse Temple, so as to show his desire for Buddha."

"Building Buddha statues and holding Buddha bathing ceremonies in Xiapi, in addition to wasting people and money, is also contrary to the original intention of compassion in Buddhist scriptures."

"As for whether there will be a large number of people seeking Buddhism in Qingzhou, this is actually not a big problem."

"Those who pray to the Buddha hope that the suffering in this life will never happen again in the next life."

"But the scholars and common people in Qingzhou have been reduced to praying to Buddha to pray for a safe next life. Isn't this the incompetence of the rulers of Qingzhou?"

"For me, praying to Buddha is not scary, what I'm afraid of is losing my heart."

Mi Zhu said awe-inspiringly, "It's admirable to be so thoughtful. I only thought that a large number of people praying to Buddha would make scholars and common people feel world-weary. "

"Don't worry, Xianmou, I will definitely be able to go to Guanggu City to rebuild the White Horse Temple!"

"In this way, the chaotic phenomenon of the scholars and common people in Xiapi praying for Buddha can also be restrained."

During the period when Zheng Ping went south to "attract capital", Yangzhou also caused wars because of Liu Yao's arrival.

Yangzhou has complex forces.

There were Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang, and Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang who were attached to Yuan Shao; Yuan Yi, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by Yuan Shao;

There are also Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, and Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang, who are only loyal to the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Yao considered that Wu Jing and Sun Ben were both relatives of Sun Jian, and Sun Jian was a member of Yuan Shu, so he ordered Zhang Ying and Fan Neng to expel Wu Jing and Sun Ben.

Annoyed, Sun Jian gave up attacking Zhou Ang and Zhou Xin, and directly asked his soldiers to point to Qu'a.

Yuan Shu originally had the idea of ​​expanding his influence in Yangzhou, so he changed Sun Jian to be the governor of Yangzhou and ordered Sun Jian to attack Liu Yao.

Tai Shici, who originally purchased ships in Wujun, worried that Liu Yao's defeat by Sun Jian would affect the purchase of ships, so he temporarily joined Liu Yao's command after summoning Qingzhou.

Although Liu Bei captured Liu Dai alive, he did not kill Liu Dai. Tai Shici had an old relationship with Liu Yao, and Liu Bei and Liu Yao had a common enemy Yuan Shu, so the cooperation was temporarily reached.

But Tao Qian of Xuzhou had a quarrel with Yuan Shu, and because Yuan Shu called himself Xuzhou Bo, the new and old grudges were the same, so he sent Danyang soldiers to help Liu Yao.

Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, was only loyal to the emperor, so he naturally supported Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court.

But Zhou Ang, governor of Jiujiang, and Zhou Xin, governor of Danyang, saw that Yuan Shu blocked Yuan Yi in Peiguo, so they also chose to form an alliance with Liu Yu.

Although Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting, it was difficult for him to win against several forces in Yangzhou at the same time.

The battle in Yangzhou fell into a stalemate.

And in Yuzhou.

Guo Gong, governor of Yuzhou, was full of fighting spirit and wanted to compete with Yuan Shu.

But Cao Cao, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Liu Chong, the king of Chen, didn't want to fight, they just wanted to restore people's livelihood in their respective territories.

In desperation, Guo Gong could only recruit soldiers to fight Yuan Shu alone.

But although Guo Gong recruited soldiers and horses, he couldn't even win Runan, and he fought the Runan prefect appointed by Yuan Shu in Runan.

Yecheng.

The black bandit withdrew from Wei County because of the cold weather.

Facing the invasion of the Black Mountain bandits, Yuan Shao could only defend the city, and could not even expel the Black Mountain bandits.

This made Yuan Shao very annoyed.

"You are all famous officials and outstanding men with noble backgrounds."

"In the end, I was beaten up by a group of vulgar black bandits so that I dare not leave the city."

"With such a record, don't you have no shame?"

Yuan Shao's anger was in full swing, and none of the group of civil and military men dared to defend themselves at this moment.

Do you want to defend yourself: because you have to guard against Gongsun Zan, you lost to the Black Mountain bandits?

It's already embarrassing, but it's even more embarrassing to use this kind of reason to defend yourself!

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were the first to be overwhelmed.

Immediately.

Yan Liang came out and said: "Duke Ming, as long as Gongsun Zan is in Changshan Kingdom, Yecheng will not be peaceful."

"Although there are many bandits in the Black Mountain, they are only minor problems after all; if Gongsun Zan cannot be eliminated, Duke Ming will always be under the control of others."

"The last general asks for orders to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. If you are unable to win, please behead the last general!"

Wen Chou also echoed: "Duke Ming, Wen Chou please fight!"

Chunyuqiong, Gao Lan and others also asked for a fight.

Yuan Shao snorted, "Gongsun Zan's traitor, I wish I could eat his flesh alive!"

"Retire, all generals, and wait to discuss the strategy of conquering Gongsun Zan. I will personally lead the crowd to conquer Gongsun Xiaoer!"

After Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others retreated, Yuan Shao looked at Xu You, Feng Ji and the others again: "Everyone, tell me how to conquer Gongsun Xiaoer! There is no need to talk nonsense about forming an alliance with Liu Yu."

Xu You, Guo Tu and others did not speak.

Given the current situation, forming an alliance against Gongsun Zan is no longer advisable.

The only way to deal with Gongsun Zan is to fight a tough battle and win with military might!
Combat is not what Xu You and Guo Tu are good at.

Seeing that Xu You and Guo Tu bowed their heads and remained silent, Feng Ji came out quite proudly: "Ming Gong, the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have been purged, and they have fought several battles with the Heishan bandits. Although they are not as brave as Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses, they are supported by Tactics, you can still fight Gongsun Zan head-on."

"Gongsun Zan prides himself on his martial prowess, and is most proud of his cavalry."

"To defeat Gongsun Zan, you must first defeat the cavalry that Gongsun Zan is most proud of!"

If in the past.

Guo Tu must be the first to refute Feng Ji.

But today, Guo Tu chose to remain silent.

Now that Yuan Shao is in a predicament, if there is another fight, then everyone should stop playing.

Yuan Shao saw no one to refute, so he asked: "Gongsun Zan's cavalry is the most valiant, coming and going like the wind. And Yecheng is almost all infantry, how can we win?"

Feng Ji laughed loudly: "The cavalry can also show their strength on the battlefield in northern Saibei. In this inland land, there are too many battlefields that are not conducive to cavalry combat."

"As long as Duke Ming has the heart to fight to the death, defeating Gongsun Zan will be as easy as pie!"

Yuan Shao jumped up and said, "If I can't defeat Gongsun Zan, I'll be stuck waiting to die in Yecheng."

"Yuan Tu, I will leave all the soldiers and horses in Yecheng to you to dispatch. As long as I can win against Gongsun Zan, I will be the bait myself!"

Yuan Shao started to get angry.

Ever since he seized Han Fu's Jizhou, Yuan Shao's affairs have not gone well.

According to the expectation, he should kill the Quartet, first establish Jizhou, then Youzhou, annex the west, destroy Qingzhou in the east, and then use the strength of Qingzhou, Hebei and You to merge the four states, go south strongly, and establish the career of overlord.

result.

Even Zang Hong became the governor of Yanzhou and took charge of the Eight Commanderies of Yanzhou. He was still worrying about how to deal with Gongsun Zan in Yecheng.

Thinking of Zang Hong becoming the governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao felt depressed again.

This Yanzhou was originally in Yuan Shao's pocket, but if he was not careful, it became Zang Hong's!
If Zang Hong hadn't devoted himself to restoring the people's livelihood in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao would have to worry about whether Zhang Miao would take the opportunity to cross the river to Weijun.

There are Zang Hong in the south, Liu Bei in the east, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in the north. Recently, Ma Teng, the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Dong Zhuo, and Han Sui, the general who conquered the North, appeared in the west.

At first, Yuan Shao didn't think highly of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

As a result, Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to play better than expected. Baibo Siqu Shuai Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai were eliminated by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the remaining Yang Feng directly voted.

If it weren't for the Huns who refused to accept Ma Teng and Han Sui, another person who could command the whole county appeared in Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao's living space was drastically compressed.

Either he won the first battle with Gongsun Zan, and since then he has won the entire territory of Jizhou.

Either lose and commit suicide, no longer miss this world.

Yuan Shao was going to fight Gongsun Zan to the death, so the martial arts under his command naturally didn't dare to have the heart to fight among themselves.

For the first time, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others chose to work together to plan Yuan Shao's life-threatening battle with Gongsun Zan.

At this time, Gongsun Zan had a dispute with Jushou because of Gongsun Yue's death.
