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

Chapter 207 The Yuzhou Incident, Cao Cao Tao Qian's Grievance

Liu Pu paced back and forth.

Although Liu Ye's proposal was good, Liu Pu was reluctant to part with Huainan's family business.

The family business accumulated by generations of hard work cannot be easily given up.

"A Ye, although you are right, the Liu family's house and shop have been passed down from generation to generation."

"In the current situation in Huainan, if I sell them off, it will definitely attract Yuan Shu's attention. If Yuan Shu learns that my father and son are going to Qingzhou, he will definitely become angry."

Liu Ye shook his head: "There is no need to sell the house and shop. I went to Qingzhou just because Qingzhou is the most stable right now, and I still have to go back to Huainan in the future."

"I just need to bring the gold and silver and the house land deed, first go to Huaiyang in the name of worshiping the ancestors, and then go north to Qingzhou from Guangling. No one will doubt it."

"The rest of the heavy family property, if you can keep it, you can keep it, if you can't keep it, let nature take its course."

"As long as the land deed is still there, these can come back."

Liu Pu asked again: "Since we are just avoiding disaster, we can just stay in Huaiyang. Why do we have to go all the way to Qingzhou?"

Liu Ye said: "Father, if you don't have an official position in this troubled world, how can you protect your family business?"

"Today, among the Liu clan's relatives, only Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yao of Yangzhou, and Duke Xuande of Qingzhou are the only ones who are governors of the prefecture.

"However, Yizhou is remote, and Jingzhou's government regulations are not strict. Although Liu Biao is the head of the Eight Horses, he is just a chatter."

"If it was a prosperous age, Liu Biao had the talents of the three men; in today's troubled times, Liu Biao sees nothing happening, doubts and decides, and is doomed to do nothing."

"Yangzhou Liu Yao is obsessed with fame and likes to comment on scholars, but he is not a talent for sealing off borders. In Jiangdong, he has no long-term strategy to bring order and stability to the country, and he can't make talented warriors attach to him. It's also hard to do anything."

"Mr. Xuande of Qingzhou is an outstanding person in the world."

"Based on the chaotic Qingzhou with a humble body, it has made Qingzhou the most stable place today."

"Not only is Kang Chenggong, a famous official in the world, attached to him, but also Zheng Xianmou, the son of Kang Chenggong, plans the general trend. The young Xu Youji's famous officials complement each other, which shows his ambition and capacity."

"Since the great Sima Youzhou lost power, the only one among the clansmen of the Han Dynasty who can bring order to chaos is Duke Xuande of Qingzhou."

"It's up to you to choose a virtuous lord. After the world is settled in the future, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty will also have a place for my father and son. Doesn't my father have the ambition to revive the Fuling King's line?"

Although young, Liu Ye did not disappoint Xu Shao's evaluation of "the talent of the world".

The analysis of the current situation and the insight into the heroes of the world are not inferior to adults.

400 years of the Han family.

Although the Tweeting Order made the princes and kings inferior to each other.However, among the descendants of the clan, there will still be heroes who will emerge as the times require and stand out.

Liu Pu was shocked by Liu Ye's analysis.

Weighing pros and cons, controlling the general situation, and guessing people's hearts, Liu Ye is far ahead of his peers.

"Ah Ye is indeed a unicorn from the lineage of King Fuling. If he stays in Huainan and is killed by Yuan Shu, wouldn't it mean that the lineage of King Fuling will be broken."

"Although the family business is big, someone must inherit it, otherwise it will be just a pool of stagnant water and no one cares about it."

Thinking of this, Liu Pu carefully weighed the pros and cons, and said, "A Ye, I will send someone to take you to Qingzhou tomorrow."

"With your talent, you will definitely pass the examination of Linzi City's official school and become a disciple of Lord Kang Cheng."

"Ah Huanzhi's talent is not half as good as yours, so I stayed in Huainan with me to protect the family inheritance passed down from our ancestors."

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment: "Father, I—"

But Liu Pu interrupted Liu Ye, saying: "A Ye, you are talented and ambitious. As a father, I will help you study and become famous."

"But I'm also your grandfather's son. I can't just give up on the inheritance left by your grandfather."

"Since your elder brother has no talent to help the world, you can just stay in Huainan and guard the family business left by your ancestors."

"Although Yuan Shu is arrogant, I still have a countermeasure. At least it is not difficult to save my life."

"No need to say too much! Tomorrow you will go to Huaiyang to worship your ancestors first, and then go north to Qingzhou in Guangling."

Liu Ye sighed secretly, and knew that it was too naive to let the family relocate, so he could only promise: "The child will obey the father's order!"

Liu Ye is not the only case in Huainan that young Pianpian entered Qingzhou.

Yuan Shu levied violently in Huainan, and the common people suffered, as did the powerful gentry.

Therefore, after the news of Qingzhou spread in Huainan, many knowledgeable nobles sent their young men to Qingzhou.

It is not only to avoid disaster, but also to seek a future.

The official school in Linzi City is the literature of Zheng Xuan, a famous official in the world.

The second person in charge of real power in Qingzhou is Zheng Xuan's second son, Zheng Ping.

If they can get Zheng Xuan's appreciation and change from ordinary students to disciples, then everyone will more or less have fellowship.

If the same family is in trouble, how can we not help?

No one is a fool.

Although there were many former officials of the Yuan family in Yangzhou, many suffered under Yuan Shu, and it was not only the Lujiang Zhou family who sought a way out.

Time flies.

Time flies like an arrow.

It's December.

Although the war between Dong Zhuo in the north and Yuan Shao Gongsun Zan had been fought for several months, there was no clear outcome.

Although Gongsun Zan's Youzhou Buqi is brave, Ma Teng and Han Sui's Xiliang Jianer are also impressive.

Although Yuan Shao had many advisers from Hebei and Henan, Dong Zhuo also had Li Ru, Lu Zhi, and Xun You to make decisions.

Dissertations on martial arts, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan are all talented people.

If it weren't for the fact that Dong Zhuo had too many factions, the generals would entrap each other, and Dong Zhuo was slightly better in terms of generals alone.

And in the south.

Cao Cao concentrated his superior forces, and with the assistance of Chen Wang and Liu Chong, he successfully defeated the Runan prefect Xu Wei appointed by Yuan Shu.

Zhao Yan, Minister of Liang, and Chen Yi, Minister of Lu, saw that Yuan Shu was weak and Yanzhou had no intention of Yuzhou, so they voted again.

Of the six prefectures in Yuzhou, only Pei was still in the hands of Yuan Yi and Yuan Shu.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Cao marched in, united with Yuan Yi to attack Yuan Shu, and recruited the mighty Xu clan in Peiguo.

The two sides fought in Mengcheng.

Xu Chu killed Yuan Shu's powerful generals, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack, chasing Yuan Shu for six hundred miles, and directly drove Yuan Shu's forces in Yuzhou back to Yangzhou.

Since then.

Except for Xiaopei and other cities in Peiguo, which were in the hands of Tao Qian, Cao Cao controlled the entire territory of Yuzhou.

After expelling Yuan Shu's forces to Yangzhou, Cao Cao made Yuan Yi the Prime Minister of Pei, and asked Yuan Yi to ask Tao Qian for Xiaopei and other cities.

Yuan Yi was originally the prefect of Shanyang County, and was promoted by Yuan Shao as the governor of Yangzhou, but Yuan Yi in Yangzhou couldn't win.

Yuan Yi, who dared not go back to Yecheng, could only accept Cao Cao's appointment to station troops in Peiguo, and then sent people to Tancheng to ask Tao Qian for Xiaopei and other cities.

Tao Qian was not happy when he heard that Cao Cao sent Yuan Yi to ask for Xiao Pei.

Xiaopei, who was obtained by strength, should be given to Cao Cao?
"If you want Xiaopei, you can exchange it with Shouchun!" Tao Qian was not polite at all to the envoy sent by Yuan Yi.

The Danyang soldiers were sent to follow King Lu Zhiqin, but Cao Bao was seriously injured. The 500 Danyang soldiers were less than [-]. The remaining remaining soldiers Tao Qian gave them to Guan Yu with a wave of his hand.

Cao Hong was sent to fight Yuan Shu, but he didn't take down a few cities, and instead lost troops and generals.

It also occupied Xiaopei and other cities, which comforted Tao Qian.

Whether Liu Chong was the shepherd of Yuzhou or Guo Gong was the governor of Yuzhou, they never asked Tao Qian for Xiaopei.

As a result, as soon as Cao Cao expelled Yuan Shu's forces from Yuzhou, he asked Yuan Yi to ask for Xiaopei.

If Xiao Pei was to be let out, Tao Qian would gain nothing.

Letting go is impossible!
Tao Qian not only refused to let him go, but also increased the garrison in Xiaopei, and even threatened that if Cao Cao dared to send someone to ask for Xiaopei, the state of Lu would not want it.

Xiaopei's geographical location happened to cut off Lu State from Yuzhou.

Tao Qian was really going to be ruthless. This country of Lu, located between Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Xiaopei, had no possibility of resistance at all.

Lu Xiang Chen Yi is a fool, he will follow whoever is strong, without any hesitation at all.

Yuan Yi couldn't offend Tao Qian, so he could only pass the news back to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shu and won most of Yuzhou, and it was the time when he was full of ambition.

Hearing that Tao Qian was so arrogant, Cao Cao immediately became angry.

"Old man, I'm going to talk nicely, but I dare to be so arrogant!"

"Zi Xiao, Zi Lian, you two immediately go to Xiao Pei."

"If Tao Qian doesn't return Xiaopei, he will directly attack the city."

"Do you really think this general is afraid of this old man?"

Cao Ren Cao Hong took the order and left.

Xi Zhicai, Mao Jie and others raised no objection.

Tao Qian was rude to account for Xiaopei. Cao Cao did not send troops but sent someone to ask for it, which has already given Tao Qian enough face.

Since Tao Qian was unwilling, he had no choice but to mobilize troops.

Otherwise, where will the face of Cao Cao, the governor of Yuzhou and general Zhendong be put?
But Xun Yu had a different idea: "Duke Ming, Qingzhou and Xuzhou have always been good friends, so you can send someone to Qingzhou to inform Tao Qian of taking Xiaopei by force, so as to prevent Qingzhou from ignoring the inside story and mistakenly thinking that Duke Ming attacked Tao Qian without authorization."

Cao Cao frowned: "Is the general going to tell Liu Bei the details of the internal affairs in Yuzhou? If Liu Bei doesn't know right from wrong and insists on helping Tao Qian, will I still be afraid of him?"

Xun Yu remonstrated: "Duke Ming, please don't do this. Now that you have just won Yuzhou, it is time to win over all parties. It is not appropriate to cause more disputes at this time."

Xun Yu didn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts.

Now Cao Cao is a little drifting.

after all.

From the failure of Chuping to challenge Dong at the beginning of the first year, to the end of the third year of Chuping.

For three years, Cao Cao was attached to Yuan Shao most of the time.

After finally defeating Yuan in Fengqiu City, he became the prefect of Yingchuan and gained a foothold.

Then he paid tribute to the emperor of Chang'an, and was awarded the canonization of Yuzhou Governor, Zhendong General, and Fei Tinghou.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shu being surrounded by enemies in Huainan, Yuan Shu's forces in Yuzhou were expelled.

Now that he finally got Yuzhou, it was time to be proud, but Tao Qian wanted to take Xiaopei and not return it, so Cao Cao couldn't bear it.

Everyone is the governor of Yizhou, so why should he greet Liu Bei, the shepherd of Qingzhou, to resolve the internal disputes in Yuzhou?

Xun Yu didn't understand Cao Cao's mind, he was thinking about the future of Yuzhou.

After all, he had a deadly feud with Yuan Shu, and had a conflict with Tao Qian. If he had an enmity with Liu Bei again, the situation in Yuzhou would be worrying.

Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao frowned, and saw that Xun Yu could not understand Cao Cao's thoughts, so he said, "Brother Wen Ruo, this statement is wrong. Ming Gong wants to rule the world, and he is destined to be an enemy of the world's heroes."

"If you show weakness everywhere, wouldn't it be underestimated?"

"Tao Qian took Xiaopei by force. He made a mistake first. The Duke of Ming raised his troops to fight against him, and his division was famous."

"I heard that Tao Qian was not favored by the scholars and people in Xuzhou, and most of the people he appointed were vicious. Why don't Minggong take this opportunity to imitate Liu Bei's capture of Liu Dai and send Tao Qian alive to Chang'an or Zhuocheng to judge his crimes."

"With Tao Qian expelled, the Xuzhou scholars will definitely be grateful to Duke Ming, and Duke Ming will also take this opportunity to recommend someone close to him to serve as the governor of Xuzhou."

"Gather the soldiers from Henan and Xu provinces and go south to destroy Yuan Shu. Who in the world can compete with Duke Ming?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that: "Zhicai knows my heart well!"

Xun Yu frowned: "Zhicai, it's not easy to capture Tao Qian alive, so what if Tao Qian withdraws from Xiaopei?"

Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "If the enemy retreats, we will pursue! If Tao Qian cannot be captured alive in the end, then Ming Gong will return all the Xuzhou cities that he captured during the pursuit to Tao Qian. The thought of killing Tao Qian."

"As long as all the faults are attributed to Tao Qian, then the nobles of Xuzhou whose interests have been damaged because of this battle will be even more dissatisfied with Tao Qian."

"No one can shake the prestige of Duke Ming in Yuzhou."

"At that time, I will show Xuzhou again."

Cao Cao clapped his palms and laughed: "Zhicai's plan is very clever! Let's use this plan to seize Xuzhou!"

Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Xi Zhicai.

After leaving the gate of the office, Xun Yu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Zhicai, if you offer this plan, Yuzhou will be enemies from all sides."

"Tao Qian is unpopular in Xuzhou. There are many ways to win Xuzhou. There is no need to use offensive tactics."

Xi Zhicai sighed softly: "Wen Ruo, what you said is all right, but you don't understand Ming Gong's thoughts!"

"Minggong is in full swing now, but Tao Qian has to tease the tiger's beard. If you can't make Minggong let out such a bad breath, how can you bear it?"

"Since we are planning the world for Minggong, we can't just look at the overall situation and ignore Minggong's personal grievances."

Xun Yu frowned and said, "But if Qingzhou really sent troops, would Duke Ming lose because of it?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "If you win, you will win Xuzhou; if you lose, Duke Ming will reflect on his mistakes, so he will pay more attention to Wen Ruoyou, who has words of advice today."

"I'm not as good as Wen Ruo when it comes to planning the general trend and linking up powerful clans, but Wen Ruo is not as good as me when it comes to understanding people's hearts and adapting to changes."

"Just right, I can also take this opportunity to test the true background of Qingzhou."

Xun Yu's eyes froze slightly, and then he sighed: "Duke Ming is so adventurous, the future is unpredictable."

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Wen Ruo, don't worry too much, or you will be exhausted. I have to listen to the song, so I won't accompany you any longer."

Seeing Xi Zhi, Xun Yu left calmly, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Duke Ming must go to provoke Tao Qian at this time, what are you thinking? Could it be that it's really just because Tao Qian took Xiao Pei by force?"

"At this time, it is the best policy to unite with Tao Qian to defeat Yuan Shu, and then wait and see Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's victory or defeat, and take the opportunity to go west to Chang'an."

"As long as the Son of Heaven is there, no matter Tao Qian or Liu Bei, there is nothing to worry about."

Chen Guo.

Chen Wang and Liu Chong, who don't care much about the general situation of the world, are still singing, singing, dancing and hunting for fun every day.

Although Liu Chong is no longer Yuzhou Shepherd, there are still many people from Huhai who come to join Liu Chong.

Luo Jun has persuaded Liu Chong more than once, but Liu Chong doesn't take Luo Jun's advice seriously.

"This king does not fight for the world, who would be afraid of this king?"

"Luo Xiang, you worry too much!"
