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

Chapter 260 Zheng Ping discusses the situation, Xun You wants to vote for Liu Bei

Xun Chen couldn't be more clear about Xu You, Guo Tu and others.

Xin Ping and Xin Pi are relatively loyal, and perhaps they can still remember the feelings of Yingchuan and the same county, but Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and Shen Pei may not remember the old feelings of Yuan Shao.

Xu You is greedy, Guo Tu is jealous, disciplined and straightforward, and he is professional in judging and matching. These are the evaluations Xun Chen gave to the four of them.

On weekdays, Xun Chen was not very friendly with these people.

If it is true as Xun You said, this trip cannot be successful, how can we defend ourselves when we go back?
Inviting Xun You to Zhuocheng aroused the envy of Xu You, Guo Tu and others. As a result, Yuan Shao left the position of Shangshu vacant, but Xun Chen went to invite Xun You in person but failed to invite Xun You back.

Not only will Yuan Shao be disappointed with Xun Chen, but Xu You, Guo Tu and others will also throw stones at Xun Chen.

For example, generals such as Wen Chou who were cut off by Xun Chen to make meritorious service would also ridicule Xun Chen.

Xun Chen took a trip to Qingzhou and went back, and he was completely different inside and out.

"Gongda, are you really unwilling to go to Zhuocheng?" Xun Chen murmured with an extremely ugly face.

Seeing Xun You shook his head lightly, Xun Chen's heart suddenly sank, and his eyes became ashen.

Come with joy, and return with disappointment.

And the failure of this lobbying will also make Xun Chen's position under Yuan Shao's command no one in the future, and everyone will be lost.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so depressed." When Xun Chen was disheartened, Xun You spoke again.

Xun Chen couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Gongda doesn't need to be so consoling. I didn't think carefully about this trip and underestimated Zheng Xianmou."

However, Xun You poured wine for Xun Chen quietly, and said while pouring the wine, "Uncle, you are in the middle of the game, and you are in a state of confusion."

"It's a good thing for Uncle Yu if you don't go to Zhuocheng to be a minister."

"Temple battles are often turbulent and murderous, and if you are not careful, you will step into the abyss that will never be restored."

"However, you don't want my uncle to suffer such hardships, so I have a gift."

Xun Chen's eyes suddenly brightened, and his body couldn't help moving closer: "What good plan does Gongda have to help me out of this difficulty?"

Xun You handed the poured immortal wine to Xun Chen.

Although Xun Chen had no intention of drinking, but smelling the aroma of the wine and looking at the clear and spring-like wine, he couldn't help but become addicted to alcohol.

A bottle of sake poured into the stomach, refreshing, making people feel refreshed secretly.

"It really is good wine! Is this wine famous?"

"Immortal Brew."

"Immortal Brew, a good name, but it's a pity you can't drink it for a long time."

Xun Chen's mood calmed down a lot after the immortal had eaten his stomach.

Xun You's tone was still calm: "Uncle came to Qingzhou to invite you to Zhuocheng to be a minister, and to find out Liu Qingzhou's real purpose of setting up a banner in Liuying, Pingyuan."

"Although You can't go to Zhuocheng, Uncle has found out the purpose of the Sixth Battalion's flag establishment."

"If uncle is interested, you can help uncle take down Yijing City, so that uncle can make great contributions under the command of General Yuan."

As soon as Xun You mentioned it, Xun Chen immediately understood Xun You's intentions, and thought about it: "Liu Bei wants to save Gongsun Zan, and the general wants to destroy Yijing City. If Gongsun Zan can be persuaded to leave Yijing City, he will arrive in Qingzhou like Liu Yu."

"You can take Yi Jingcheng without a single soldier."

After a pause, Xun Chen had doubts again: "How could Gongsun Zan give up Yi Jingcheng easily? Even if Gongsun Zan intends, the general may not keep his promise."

"Now the general and Liu Bei belong to two countries, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating. Even if the general repents, Liu Bei will have nothing to do."

Xun You continued to pour wine: "With Gongsun Zan's arrogance, even if he gave up Yi Jingcheng, he would not come to Qingzhou. Liu Qingzhou is destined to be unable to save Gongsun Zan if he wants to save him."

"It is also impossible for General Yuan to take down Yi Jingcheng without bloodshed."

Xun Chen wondered: "Since the general can't take Yijing City without bloodshed, and Liu Bei can't save Gongsun Zan, what's the point of me trying to persuade him to surrender?"

Xun You's eyes became bright: "I can't save Gongsun Zan, but I can save Gongsun Zan's wife and children."

"If General Yuan agrees, the Baipao Battalion of Qingzhou Sixth Battalion will personally go to Yijing City to escort Gongsun Zan's wife and children away."

"The day when Gongsun Zan's wife and children arrive in Qingzhou is the day when Gongsun Zan abandons the Yi capital and fights to the death."

"At that time, how to plan to capture and kill Gongsun Zan will depend on your ability, Uncle."

Yi Jingcheng was difficult to conquer because Gongsun Zan was a shy bastard in Yi Jinglou.

If Gongsun Zan abandoned Yi Jingcheng and wanted to defeat Gongsun Zan, it would be much easier.

Xun Chen took a deep breath: "Is this also Zheng Xianmou's plan? Isn't he afraid that the general will go back and destroy this Qingzhou army?"

Xun You's eyes were complicated, and he seemed to be puzzled: "You also asked the same question, but Zheng Xianmou said that if Yuan Shao has the courage, he can try."

Xun Chen said in awe: "If you dare to say this, there must be someone behind you. Can't even Gongda see through Zheng Xianmou's plan?"

Xun You shook his head: "Zheng Xianmou has always been good at trickery, what he can let you see is often only what Zheng Xianmou wants you to see."

"This man is tricky and unpredictable. It is difficult for ordinary people to guess his true thoughts."

"For example, Cao Cao killed Tao Qian in honor of his filial piety, and sent troops to attack Tao Qian."

"This was originally a personal enmity between Cao Cao and Tao Qian. As a result, Liu Bei first ordered Guan Yu and Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu with fake festivals, and then it turned into Tai Shici entering Yangzhou and conquering the four counties of Yangzhou without bloodshed."

"Zheng Xianmou seemed to have expected that Tao Qian would die at the hands of Cao Cao. Not only did he take advantage of this opportunity to make Xu Yang, but he also used Sun Jian's hand to beat Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yuzhou, to half-mutilation."

"And Sun Jian is now the leader of the Pojun camp in the Sixth Battalion of Qingzhou!"

"Cao Cao has been so busy, except for killing Tao Qian and losing troops, he hardly got any benefits. Instead, Liu Qingzhou gained all the benefits."

"Who would have guessed such an ending?"

"Uncle, I would like to advise you in good faith: Don't try to plan for the White Robe Camp. Gongsun Zan's family will go to Qingzhou, and General Yuan will destroy Yijing City. Just get what you need."

"Even if someone wants to offer a plan to attack and kill the White Robe Camp, uncle, you must never agree. You must refute with the word "faithfulness". Remember, only talk about faith and righteousness, regardless of other things, otherwise you will cause trouble!"

Xun Chen was stunned: "Gongda, do you conclude that if you attack the Baipao camp, the general will suffer a lot?"

Xun You sighed softly: "Uncle, You just don't want you to be brought into trouble. Zheng Xianmou's actions have always been unpredictable, so we must guard against them."

Xun Chen thought about it for a while, but he didn't take Xun You's advice seriously.

At this time, Xun Chen just wanted to go back and destroy Gongsun Zan's Yi Jingcheng, and make the great contribution to Dingyou that Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others had to look up to!
Xun You shook his head secretly, and instead of continuing to persuade, he handed a letter to Xun Chen: "This is a letter written by Liu Qingzhou himself. I wanted to find a messenger to send it to Yijing City."

"Since uncle is here, I will trouble uncle to see you off."

"The letter is not sealed. If uncle or General Yuan wants to read the contents of the letter, they can read it at will."

Xun Chen was even more surprised. In front of Xun You, he took out Liu Bei's letter to Gongsun Zan.

The content of the letter is very simple.

Liu Bei reminisces about the past, and recounts how he and Gongsun Zan joined Lu Zhi's command in the past.

I hope Gongsun Zan can let go of his obsession and come to Zicheng with his family.

And Liu Bei will also send [-] cavalry from the Baipao Battalion to Yijing City to welcome Gongsun Zan and his family back to Qingzhou.

There is almost no superfluous nonsense.

If Yuan Shao agrees, he can send the letter to Yi Jingcheng.

If Yuan Shao disagreed, he would discard this letter as waste paper.

"I will return this letter to the general as soon as possible." Xun Chen's eyes were complicated.

The simpler the content of the letter, the more puzzled Xun Chen felt.

Just such a letter, can really make Gongsun Zan send out his family members and abandon the defense to fight to the death?
"This Zheng Xianmou, what kind of tricks is he playing!" Xun Chen was also puzzled in his heart.

Wait for Xun Chen to leave.

Zheng Ping came out from the back room.

"Brother Gongda, you are not authentic." Zheng Ping chuckled while shaking his fan: "You reminded Xun Chen to beware of me, how can I use tricks."

"If the White Robe Camp is in danger because of this, Brother Gongda, you will have to bear the responsibility."

Xun You also smiled and said, "Don't speak so briskly, you must have expected that You would remind uncle."

"You just don't want uncle to get involved in this matter, so as to avoid being tricked by others."

Zheng Ping waved his fan and said: "Brother Gongda, you don't have to be so outspoken! Since you are willing to follow orders and act, you must also have the heart to serve Liu Shijun. You are about to become a colleague, just call me in private."

Xun You has stayed in Qingzhou these days to inspect Liu Bei's virtue.

For Xun You, hearsay will eventually be exaggerated and nonsense. If you can't see and hear it with your own eyes, you can't make Xun You make up your mind.

Liu Bei also knew that Xun You was a rare talent, and he would not interfere with Xun You's words and deeds in Qingzhou except to invite him with courtesy.

Liu Bei is a leader in how to invite wise men and how to make wise men feel good about him.

Different sages need to use different methods to make good friends.

Xun You was not polite, and the title changed accordingly: "I heard that Liu Shijun wrote a letter asking the emperor to move his capital back to Luoyang."

"The emperor returns to the east, is Liu Shijun going to continue to be a foreign minister, or is he like Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, holding power above the temple?"

Zheng Ping didn't answer but instead asked: "Brother Gongda is asking about the ambition of the envoy, why do you want to find the answer from me?"

Xun You's eyes were burning, and he became more serious: "Liu Shijun has great ambitions to help the Han family, but as a foreign minister or a courtier, he must adopt your opinion."

"Why hide the conspiracy?"

Seeing Xun You's serious inquiry, Zheng Ping said with a chuckle, "The world is still uncertain, if the mosquitoes and flies that spend their energy on the temples live on, wouldn't it just make Yuan Shao more laughable?"

"The Son of Heaven returns to the east, and Liu Shijun is still just a foreign minister, guarding Qingzhou to guard against Yuan Shao, why bother to fight for power with Zhang Miao and others?"

Xun You stared at Zheng Ping, and asked again: "You also heard that Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yuzhou, also wrote a letter asking the emperor to move the capital."

"If the Son of Heaven returns to the east, it will be difficult for Luoyang to become the capital of the emperor given the dilapidated state of Luoyang. Cao Cao will probably invite the Son of Heaven to move his capital to Xu County."

"Cao Cao is more skilled than Zhang Miao and Chen Gong in the art of power and scheming, and he is assisted by his uncle Xun Wenruo. He will inevitably exercise power in the court with kingly and domineering."

"By serving the Son of Heaven, secretly ordering the world."

"At that time, how will Xianmou respond?"

Without hesitation, Zheng Ping replied with a smile: "The descendants of the Xun family in Yingchuan probably inherited the theory of their ancestor Xunqing. They practice both rituals and laws, and kings and hegemons, and Xun Wenruo is one of the best."

"Therefore, the idea of ​​serving the emperor instead of ministers was put forward, in order to make Cao Cao pay attention to etiquette, respect and inferiority, use the kingly way to appease the soldiers, dominate the people, and then rule the world."

"It's a pity that although Xun Wenruo had a plan, it was not at the right time."

"If Cao Cao used this strategy to order dissenting ministers before the two emperors were in the same sky, I might find it difficult."

"But now, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and moved his capital to Xu County, so what?"

"First, you can't control Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong; second, you can't caress the old ministers of the emperor; third, you can't control the people of Yuzhou; fourth, you can't command the soldiers of the six states of Qing, Yan, Xu, Yang, Jing, and Yi; fifth, you can't attack the false emperor Yuan. Inverse, Liu cannot gain the trust of the emperor."

"With these six disadvantages, Cao Cao can't take care of himself, so how can he have the energy to trouble Mr. Liu?"

"Cao Cao has already fallen before I make a move, why should I deal with it?"

Xun You scrutinized Zheng Ping's expression carefully, but saw that Zheng Ping's eyes were full of conviction, and he didn't take Cao Cao's welcoming the emperor into Xudu seriously at all.

Xun You didn't know that the person who secretly pushed Cao Cao to welcome the emperor into Xudu was Zheng Ping himself!

Do chess players care about a chess piece that has entered the game?

Cao Cao's welcome of the Emperor to Xu County will only complicate the already complex temple forces.

Liu Xie, Huangfusong, Ma Rixun, Yang Biao and other officials, as well as Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, were all not the generation who lived under others for a long time.

If this group of people arrived in Qingzhou, even Zheng Ping would have a headache. Even with Xun Yu's help, Cao Cao would have difficulty balancing these forces.

Cao Cao has only one choice if he wants to truly take power: follow Dong Zhuo, take the emperor under his wing, and fight against him!

And this kind of situation is exactly what Zheng Ping wants to see!
Only when Cao Cao loses righteousness can Liu Bei have righteousness.

"Zheng Xianmou is really good at deceit. Liu Qingzhou asked the emperor to move the capital in order to inflict these six evils on Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao couldn't take care of himself. Not only did he not dare to provoke Liu Qingzhou, but he also had to use Liu Qingzhou to deter dissatisfaction in the court."

"Zheng Xianmou didn't care about Cao Cao, but instead began to plan the Northern Expedition, plotting against Yuan Shao."

"Predict the enemy's opportunity first, and control the general situation of the world; the one who is most likely to rule the world is Liu Qingzhou."

Xun You suddenly became enlightened, and the long-term investigation of Liu Bei was coming to an end.

Although he is a member of the Xun family, Xun You and Xun Yu have always held different views. Xun Yu followed the route of co-governance by the emperor and the gentry, so the Xun family must be at the core.

Xun You focused more on solving problems in the simplest and most direct way, so Xun You dared to imitate assassins and others in plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

And now, Xun You thinks the same way!

Choose the most promising power to rule the world, and calm down the chaotic world in the shortest time.

"Xianmou, is Mr. Liu in Linzi City recently?" Xun You asked while pouring wine.

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, laughed loudly and said, "Your envoy used to make wine with peach blossoms and sealed it for 49 days on July [-]th, so as to treat the world's sages. If Brother Gongda is interested, you can go to Taoyuan in Linzi City."
