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

Chapter 232 Killing chickens to warn monkeys, Guan Yu is in charge of Xuzhou
Tancheng, government office.

Civil and military gathered together, waiting for each other.

But Guan Yu, who was temporarily in command of Xuzhou Mu, was pacing back and forth in the backyard of the government office.

When it comes to commanding troops to fight, Guan Yu will not hesitate for a moment, but Guan Yu is a little at a loss when he wants to take charge of a state.

Guan Ping on the side couldn't help it anymore: "Father, all civil and military officials are waiting in the front hall, if you don't go, you will be rude."

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and asked without answering, "Mr. Xianmou hasn't come yet?"

Guan Ping was a little helpless.

This father, who is not afraid of death on weekdays, is timid today, which makes Guan Ping really hard to understand.

"Someone has already been sent to invite them."

"Father, today you—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter outside the backyard door.

Zheng Ping, who was shaking his feather fan lightly, came at a brisk pace, and his tone was quite brisk: "Today is Yunchang's first day in charge of Xuzhou, why come back so early?"

"Sure enough, with Yun Chang's ability, a mere state shepherd is still overkill."

Guan Yu couldn't help but blushed, stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xianmou, Guan has not gone to see the civil and military officials yet."

Guan Ping on the side spoke bluntly: "For some reason, my father is restless and has to see Mr. Xianmou."

Guan Yu blushed even more, and couldn't help but give Guan Ping a hard look.

Guan Ping shrank his neck, and quickly retreated behind Zheng Ping: "Father, my son is telling the truth, why are you staring at me again!"

Guan Yu was helpless immediately.

On weekdays, Guan Ping is in awe of himself as a father.

However, when Zheng Ping came, Guan Ping became more courageous.

But Zheng Ping also admired Guan Ping quite a lot, and often taught Guan Ping that "the father is the guide for the son, if the father is not kind, the son will go to another country; the son is the father's hope, if the son is not righteous, righteousness will destroy the relatives."

You must have awe and love for Guan Yu, but you must also dare to correct Guan Yu's mistakes and shortcomings.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and laughed lightly: "Yun Chang is worried that this Xuzhou Mu can't do well, and it will ruin the envoy's affairs?"

Guan Yu calmed down and said: "It's just like what Mr. said. Guan has never been a state shepherd, and he doesn't know how to be a state shepherd."

"Guan knows that he is self-confident, and scholars are fearful and disrespectful, unlike his elder brother who is considerate and admirable."

"It's better to let the third brother be the Xuzhou shepherd. Guan is willing to listen to the third brother's orders, and only be responsible for leading the army to fight."

Zheng Ping laughed: "Yun Chang is too modest. If you can think like this, you already have the breadth of mind that a state shepherd should have."

"Although Yide respects scholars, he is prone to drinking and making troubles. However, he is not suitable to be a state shepherd when he is a general guarding one side."

"Yun Chang is Uncle Zigan's high-ranking apprentice and the righteous younger brother that makes you highly respected. It's normal to be a bit arrogant."

"Although Tao Qian is dead, Xuzhou not only has internal forces intertwined, but also Cao Cao and Yuan Shu have evil intentions on the outside. We urgently need someone who is decisive in killing and can deter Xiaoxiao to stabilize the overall situation."

"Among the civil and military generals under Shijun's command, only Yun Chang has this ability and courage."

Guan Yu felt very comfortable listening to Zheng Ping's praise, and his uneasiness also eased a lot: "Mr. Xianmou, can you go with Guan to see the civil and military officials later?"

Zheng Ping shook his head: "If I go, will they listen to me, or to Yun Chang?"

"This is the time for you, Yun Chang, to establish your prestige, and it is inconvenient for me to participate."

Seeing that Guan Yu was still hesitant, Zheng Ping said again: "This state is in charge, and it usually kills chickens to scare monkeys."

"Xiapi's prime minister, Ruo Rong, amassed a lot of money in Xiapi, causing complaints from the scholars and people; the defeat of Lu County caused the soldiers and people of Lu County to be slaughtered by Cao's soldiers."

"If there is no severe punishment, it will not be enough to enforce the law and discipline."

"That's all I'll say, the rest, Yun Chang, you should consider carefully."

Done.

Zheng Ping no longer reminded Guan Yu how to govern Xuzhou.

Now under Liu Bei's command, Guan Yu is the only one who is qualified to stand alone.

The road to pacifying the world is destined to be difficult.

If Liu Bei needs to do everything by himself, it will be difficult to face the calculations of various forces.

Today's Liu Bei cannot leave Qingzhou easily.

But it is impossible to realize the ambition of helping the world by only guarding Qingzhou.

If Guan Yu can really grow into a state shepherd, it will be equivalent to giving Liu Bei an extra body.

"Ping, come play chess with me."

Zheng Ping ignored Guan Yu, who was thinking quietly, and directly asked Guan Ping to play chess.

Guan Ping scratched his head: "Mr. Xianmou, my nephew doesn't know how to play chess very much."

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled lightly: "The way of playing chess is the same as your martial arts practice. Practice makes perfect. If you play a few times, you will naturally master it."

After a while.

Guan Yu took a deep breath and strode forward.

"Mr. Xianmou, can father do it?" Guan Ping asked while laying his hands down.

Zheng Ping chuckled: "If you can't do it, you have to do it. Being a state shepherd is like playing chess, practice makes perfect."

"The envoy didn't know how to be a state shepherd before, but in Qingzhou today, even if I'm not here, the envoy can skillfully coordinate all parties."

"If not, how would I have the time to come to Tancheng?"

Guan Ping couldn't help but wondered: "Mr. Xianmou, my nephew has always been wondering why the prefectural pastor's office is so busy all day long that I don't have time to go home. But Mr. Xianmou, as the highest-ranking official, don't Engaged, but more and more idle.”

"Aren't you worried?"

Zheng Ping glanced at Guan Ping, who was hesitant to speak: "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will be alienated by the envoy? Are you worried that I will be replaced by others?"

"You are so young, why are you interested in this official affairs?"

Guan Ping chuckled: "My nephew parted from his father since he was a child, and met many officials on the way to exile, but he has hardly seen an official like Mr. Xianmou who is not greedy for power."

Zheng Ping laid his son down and taught earnestly: "Ping, this has nothing to do with whether you are greedy for power or not, but about grasping power and delegating power."

"It's like playing chess on a chessboard. It seems that these chess pieces are not under my control, but in fact, every position of these chess pieces is where I want the pieces to be placed."

"Although I am from Qingzhou, what I want to do is not to deal with the daily chores of Qingzhou, but to look at the whole world."

"Qingzhou's chessboard is too small, and only the correct moves are needed to stabilize the situation."

"And the chessboard in the world is very big. I need more leisure time to think and plan, so that I can plan a winning strategy for the envoy on the chessboard in the world."

"A Ping, you are still young, you can't limit your vision to what you see and hear, look at the world, and see what young heroes like you in this world are learning."

"It is said that a tiger father has no dogs and sons. Yun Chang is such a hero. You can't be proud of this, Aping, and become mediocre."

the other side.

Guan Yu came to the front hall.

Xuzhou Biejia Mi Zhu, Diannong Xiaowei Chen Deng, Zhonglang General Cao Bao, Qidu Wei Zang Ba, Qidu Wei Sun Guan and other civil and military officials, as well as Tian Yu, Qu Yi, Lu Su, Ju Shou, Zhuge who came to Tancheng from Qingzhou Jin, Hua Ji, and Mi Heng stood up one after another to salute.

Guan Yu returned the salutes one by one with a cold face.

It's not that Guan Yu is rude, but Guan Yu has this expression most of the time.

Even if he temporarily leads Xuzhou Mu, Guan Yu cannot easily change his previous image.

Fortunately, the largest factions in Tancheng, whether it is Mi Zhu Chen Deng or Cao Bao Zang Ba Sun Guan, are close to Liu Bei.

I also know that Guan Yu is such a person, not because Guan Yu is deliberately rude.

Naturally, Guan Yu's cold face was ignored, and he was quite polite to Guan Yu.

As the saying goes: Reach out and don't hit the smiling face

In the same way, the subordinates are polite, and the boss cannot be arrogant and unreasonable.

Mi Zhu was also very cooperative, resolving the embarrassment for Guan Yu, while presenting the document to Guan Yu, and at the same time dictating Xuzhou's military and political outline to Guan Yu.

This allows Guan Yu to understand the current situation in Xuzhou faster.

It has to be said that although Mi Zhu was born as a businessman, he is still very qualified to be the best driver in Xuzhou.

Just like when Hu Zhao first reported the military and political affairs of Gaotang County to Liu Bei in the past, Mi Zhu showed superb logic.

Even Guan Yu, who doesn't have much experience in governing, can clearly understand the current situation in Xuzhou.

With the deepening of Mi Zhu's dictation and the cooperation of Chen Deng and others, Guan Yu gradually found his status.

After all, when he was in Pingyuan, Guan Yu also served as Prime Minister of Pingyuan.

Although the time is not long, but with Lu Zhi's guidance, there is actually a lot of experience.

It's just that this time, suddenly leading Xuzhou Mu, made Guan Yu hesitate and worry.

The civil and military affairs of Tancheng were gradually influenced by Guan Yu's charm.

Although his face is cold and difficult to get close to, Guan Yu's judgments on various government affairs tend to be fair, which makes all civil and military officials admire him.

Two hours later.

Guan Yu finally finished processing the documents submitted by the civil and military officials.

Thinking of Zheng Ping's reminder, Guan Yu stood up and said, "Xiapi Prime Minister Ruo Rong amassed a lot of money in Xiapi, causing complaints from the scholars and people; the defeat of Lu County caused the soldiers and people of Lu County to be slaughtered by Cao's soldiers."

"If there is no severe punishment, it will not be enough to enforce the law and discipline."

"This Marquis intends to send troops to capture Ruo Rong, what do you think?"

Although it was a question, Guan Yu's tone was a bit more indisputable.

In just two hours, Guan Yu gradually became better and began to understand how to be a Xuzhou shepherd.

Xiapi is the hardest hit area by Ruo Rong's wealth accumulation.

There are also many civil and military personnel in Tancheng who are from Xiapi, especially Chen Deng, the lieutenant of Diannong, who is also from the Chen family of Xiapi.

Naturally, Chen Deng would not object to the capture of Ruo Rong, but strongly supported it.

"During Tao Shijun's stay, Xuzhou's laws were in ruins, wise men fled far away, and villains took power. As a result, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice.

"Ze Rong, the minister of Xiapi, supervised the transportation of grain from the three counties of Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Guangling, but Ruo Rong not only did not send the grain to Tan County, but filled his own pocket for his own use."

"How can such an ink-greedy person be allowed to serve as Prime Minister again?"

"Deng Yuan personally went to Xiapi to capture Ruo Rong."

Chen Deng's request to capture Ruo Rong is both a public matter and a personal enmity.

Tao Qian is not popular among scholars and people in Xuzhou. Apart from Xuzhou's aristocratic family looking down on Tao Qian, Tao Qian's handling style is the main reason.

Admiring fame outside, not true inside.

A mean person at heart.

If it weren't for this, Wang Lang of Zhizhong would not ask for orders to be the prefect of Kuaiji.

People from Xuzhou, such as Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Zhao Yulusu, etc., even went directly to Qingzhou to become an official.

Seeing Chen Deng pleading for orders, Guan Yu said happily, "Mr. Yuanlong is going, and Ruo Rong can be captured!"

"General Qu, you board the infantry first, and go to Xiapi with Mr. Yuanlong."

"If Ruo Rong wants to resist, shoot him to death!"

Guan Yu is very aware of Chen Deng's ability.

When he was in Chen Guo, Chen Deng had already demonstrated an excellent level of military strategy.

Zheng Ping had wanted Chen Deng to go to Qingzhou to be the first military adviser to go to the camp, but it was delayed for various reasons.

Now that Guan Yu is Xuzhou Mu, Chen Deng doesn't have to go to Qingzhou anymore.

After arranging all the affairs, Guan Yu entrusted Mi Zhu to handle the daily government affairs, and then returned to the inner court.

Seeing Guan Yu's happy face, Guan Ping stood up and greeted him, "Father, you have been here for two hours, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Guan Yu couldn't help but smiled: "Even if there are difficulties, Aping, can you still help solve the difficulties for my father?"

Guan Ping patted his chest and said: "If the father needs it, the child will obey."

Guan Yu laughed, then sat on Guan Ping's seat, looked at the game on the board, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xianmou, it must be very boring for you to play guiding chess with A Ping."

"Guan is not talented, and would like to play a game with Mr. Xianmou."

Confidence can change a person's temperament.

At this time, Guan Yu did not have the hesitation and apprehension just now, but was replaced by more self-confidence than before.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled lightly: "Since Yun Chang wants to play chess, how can he spoil his elegance."

The black and white chess pieces are running around, Zheng Ping and Guan Yu's chess game is played very quickly.

It is as if the two armies meet on the battlefield, and the brave wins.

moment.

Guan Yu's abandoned son conceded defeat, and said with a big laugh, "Mr. Xianmou's chess skills are superb, Guan is willing to bow down."

Zheng Ping also said with a smile: "Yun Chang understands, so that you will have no worries in Qingzhou."

After briefly stating what happened in the front hall to Zheng Ping, Guan Yu calmed down slightly, and asked for advice: "Mr. Xianmou, Ruo Rong has been operating in Xiapi for a long time. Even if Mr. Yuanlong goes there, he may not be able to capture Ruo Rong."

"Guan has an idea and wants to ask Mr. for advice."

Zheng Ping's eyes were burning: "Yun Chang wants to ask, you might as well speak up."

After a pause, Guan Yu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Guan wants to use Ruo Rong as bait to plot against Yuan Shu!"

After carefully listening to Guan Yu's specific plan, Zheng Ping thought for a while, and praised softly: "Yun Chang can count Yuan Shu's mind, so he has already gained the upper hand."

"Let it go!"

"If there are serious omissions, I will send someone to remind Yun Chang."

Although there were flaws in Guan Yu's plan, they could all be resolved on the spot.

As long as there are no serious omissions involved, Zheng Ping does not intend to interfere with Guan Yu's plan.

Guan Yu needs to grow up!
Only by doing it in person can we really check for leaks and fill in vacancies.

Consultation room.

People reported that there was a messenger coming from Qingzhou.

Seeing the contents of the letter, even Zheng Ping couldn't help standing up and laughing: "Let Yuzhou Shepherd Cao Cao respect the envoy to order the conquest of Yuan Shu, and the envoy can be regarded as domineering once."

"Yun Chang, in this battle against Yuan Shu, let's beat Yuan Shu to death."

"It's time to let everyone in the world know the great reputation of the envoy!"

Guan Yu also stood up, scanned the contents of the letter carefully, and burst out with pride: "Last time, Yuan Shu was lucky enough to escape, this time I can't let Yuan Shu leave again."

"If Cao Cao takes the lead, Guan will be ashamed of his trust in elder brother."

"In this way, Guan's plan will be more likely to succeed."
