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

Chapter 287

Zhuocheng.

Yuan Shao stared at Shen Pei and Feng Ji, while Guo Tu was still chattering away.

"General, Feng Ji colluded with Zhang He and secretly communicated with Liu Bei to instigate General Wen's defeat and the fall of Nanpi City. This is an unforgivable crime."

"Shen Pei was ordered to garrison Zhuocheng, but he let Gongsun Zan into the imperial city, and he was to be executed according to the law."

"The general, please order to kill these two people immediately, so as to make a warning to others."

Yuan Shao's eyes became more and more gloomy, but he did not agree with Guo Tu's proposal.

Feng Ji is easy to kill, but the judge and match is a wealthy family in Wei County and a famous official in Wei County. If he is killed rashly, it will cause turmoil in Wei County.

Whether Liu Kai was killed or Chuanguo Yuxi was seized, it cannot be made public.

Since it cannot be disclosed to the public, there is no way to mention the crime of interrogation.

Yuan Shao was not happy in his heart if he didn't punish the judge severely.

The appraiser knew he had made a big mistake, so he kept silent at this moment.

Feng Ji was very annoyed at Guo Tu's accusation: "If you want to accuse me of a crime, why is there no excuse? Guo Gongze, I failed in my plan and am willing to accept the punishment, but you framed me as an adulterer with Liu Bei. I can't admit to this crime."

"How could I have an affair with Liu Bei? Is he worthy?"

"You can't defend Nanpi City by yourself, but you impose the fault of Nanpi City's fall on me, how ridiculous!"

"Please, General, Mingjian!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were complicated, but he still didn't make a sound.

Xu You on the side was calm and relaxed, neither agreeing nor opposing.

When Guo Tu and Feng Ji were arguing endlessly, there was a small official who called himself "Liu Ye" in People's Daily and insisted on seeing Yuan Shao.

As soon as he heard Liu Ye's name, the judge's expression instantly became more surprised and worried.

This reaction was captured by Guo Tu: "Shen Zhengnan, looking at you, it seems that you really don't want this little official named Liu Ye to appear."

"Could it be that this little official knows some secrets that cannot be seen?"

"General, why don't you let this little official come in and see what he says?"

Originally Yuan Shao wanted someone to expel Liu Ye, but when he heard what Guo Tu said, he waved his hand and motioned for Liu Ye to enter.

Seeing that Liu Ye was only a boy of sixteen or seventeen, Yuan Shao's eyes were a little more surprised.

Guo Tu frowned subconsciously.

"Great General Commander Shi's Shuzuo, Empress of Fuling King, and Liu Ye from Huainan, have met the Great General!" Although Liu Ye was young, his etiquette was dignified and courteous, which Yuan Shao couldn't help but admire a little more.

"Liu Ye, you insist on coming to see this general, what are you talking about?" Yuan Shao gave Liu Ye a chance to speak.

Liu Ye cupped his hands and said loudly: "Come here for the general to break Liu Bei's divorce plan!"

Shocked everyone with one word.

The three words of alienation instantly made the atmosphere subtle.

Guo Tu saw that the situation was not good, so he couldn't help shouting: "You are a little chief historian, what kind of divorce scheme do you know? How dare you speak wild words here?"

Liu Ye glanced at Guo Tu, and his tone was a little more proud: "Although I am young, I was once commented by Runanzi as a 'talent of the world'."

"I don't know Guo Shizhong, but have you ever had a comment from the general?"

Guo Tu was speechless for a moment.

Xu Shao from Runan was good at judging people, and he was a famous official in the world, so he was quite respected.

When Yuan Shao resigned from the Puyang Order and returned home, there were many guests in carriages and horses, but when he entered Runan, he dismissed all the guests and entered Runan with only one carriage.

The reason turned out to be that he didn't want Xu Shao to feel that he was too extravagant!

Seeing that the young man in front of him was rated as a "talent of the world" by Xu Shao, Yuan Shao immediately respected him a little more.

"Shu Zuo is so favored by Zi Jianggong, he must be young and promising." Yuan Shao praised lightly: "You just said that you want to break Liu Bei's divorce scheme for this general, so you might as well elaborate!"

Liu Ye cast a reassuring look at the judge with a shocked expression, and said back to Yuan Shao: "Dare to ask the general, is the presiding judge Shi and Feng Jianjun a practical talent or a false talent?"

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, and said, "Naturally he is a practical talent."

Liu Ye said again: "Ye ask the general again, are Guo Shizhong and Xun Shizhong practical talents or false talents?"

Yuan Shao seemed to realize something: "Nature is also a practical talent."

Liu Ye said again: "The great general will join the sea, and all the sages from all over the world will vie for attachment."

"Chang Shi, Feng Jianjun, Guo Shizhong, Xun Shizhong, and Xu Taishou are all practical talents that are rare in the world. They can not only offer advice to the emperor, but also be in charge of military and political affairs. They are not comparable to those who only talk about it in general."

"In the current situation, Xun Shizhong is still in prison, while the presiding judge Shi and Feng Jianjun will be questioned again."

"Five practical talents, just because the general wants to get rid of Gongsun Zan, he will lose three, but Liu Bei won Nanpi City."

"Although Ye doesn't know how Liu Bei used the divorce plan, he can guess Liu Bei's intention just by looking at the result: the general killed three pragmatic talents, will Liu Bei applaud or cry and regret?"

"Please, General, think twice!"

Everyone was surprised by Liu Ye's words again, even Xu You, who was watching the play leisurely, couldn't help but look at Liu Ye more.

Don't ask the reason, don't ask the process, just look at the result to infer Liu Bei's intention.

Liu Ye could not offend anyone, and interceded with Xun Chen, Shenpei, and Fengji.

"Xu Zijiang commented on Liu Ye in Huainan as a talented person for the world. I was skeptical, but Liu Ye managed to defeat Guo Tu's plan with just a few words. He really is an extraordinary young man." Xu You secretly marveled.

Xu You knew Yuan Shao well.

If Yuan Shao really wanted to kill someone, he didn't have to hesitate for a while at all.

But Liu Ye gave Yuan Shao a reason not to kill Shen Pei and Feng Ji, and by the way he saved Xun Chen who was in prison.

Not only that, it also made it difficult for Guo Tu to refute.

Liu Yewei's debating skills of result theory directly killed Guo Tu's conspiracy.

If Guo Tu is determined to kill Shen Pei and Feng Ji, then Liu Bei's plan to divorce will be confirmed.

After Shen Pei and Feng Ji died, Liu Bei clapped his hands and cheered.

"You bastard Liu Ye, how dare you spoil my affairs!" Guo Tu secretly hated.

a long time.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao made a decision: "Zhengnan, Yuantu, because of your crimes, I wanted to kill you both as a warning to others."

"But Liu Shuzuo's words are justified. If I kill you, wouldn't Liu Bei be applauded?"

"In view of the past achievements of the two of you, I will not pursue this time."

"It's just that capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes are inevitable. I will punish you two with three years' salary. If you commit the crime again, you will never be forgiven."

The examiner secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed Feng Ji who was still a little unconvinced.

Although Feng Ji was annoyed at Guo Tu's framing, he also knew that the current result was the best.

If you insist on arguing again, it will hurt Yuan Shao's face, and Yuan Shao may change his mind.

"Thank you, General!"

Shenpi and Fengji pleaded guilty and thanked each other.

Feng Ji did not forget to say: "General, Liu Bei's estrangement was misunderstood by Ji, which caused Shizhong Xun to be imprisoned. Please also order the general to pardon Shizhong Xun's crimes."

Yuan Shao originally had this intention.

Seeing Feng Ji's initiative, he followed the trend and said, "Yuan Tu, you must think carefully about what you do in the future, and don't fall into Liu Bei's tricks again."

"You go to the prison yourself, and please get out of prison, You Ruo."

Guo Tu clenched his fist again.

"After today, Liu Ye's status under the general's command will rise to a higher level. Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and Xun Chen will all be grateful for Liu Ye's life-saving grace."

"Damn it, where did this kid come from!"

"We must thoroughly investigate the origin of this kid."

In addition to being angry, Guo Tu also became suspicious of Liu Ye's presence in Zhuocheng.

Yuan Shao admired Liu Ye quite a lot, so he asked again: "Liu Shuzuo, if you can see through Liu Bei's estrangement, you must also have an understanding of the general trend of the world."

"Now that Gongsun Zan is gone, he intends to go south to compete with Liu Bei. What do you think?"

Liu Ye was well prepared and said without hesitation: "General, with all due respect, now is not the best time for a decisive battle with Liu Bei."

Yuan Shao became interested: "And why?"

Liu Ye's voice reverberated in the inner hall and echoed loudly: "The general has destroyed Gongsun Zan and completely occupied the three prefectures of You, Hebei, and Bing. With the help of Ma Teng, Han Sui, the three kings of Wuhuan, and the royal court of the Southern Huns, he is already on the verge of swallowing the world."

"However, apart from Liu Bei in Qingzhou, Nanzhou still has Xuzhou Mu Guan Yu, Yangzhou Mu Tai Shici, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yuzhou Mu Cao Cao, Yanzhou Mu Zang Hong, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and other heroes."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Treat the enemy with rule, and wait for chaos with tranquility."

"The heroes of Nanzhou are already in the same position as fire and water. If the general is too hasty, it will definitely prompt the heroes of Nanzhou to form an alliance to resist the general, which will be disadvantageous to the general."

"Conversely, if the generals can take advantage of the power of the three states, take advantage of the barrier of the Yellow River, recuperate with the people, and repair their armored soldiers, the heroes of Nanzhou will no longer have to worry about dying, and they will inevitably quarrel with each other."

"Soldiers, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. If the heroes of Nanzhou quarrel with each other, the general can connect with the weak side and use it as a springboard, and the heroes of Nanzhou will all become the playthings of the general!"

Liu Ye's strategy is currently the most suitable for Yuan Shao's camp.

The six states in the south have various forces, while Yuan Shao is the only one in the three states in the north.

Yuan Shao is already invincible!

Just like the Qiang Qin who survived Fen VI.

Yuan Shao is strong but the heroes are weak. Once Yuan Shao insists on going south, all the heroes in the south will have to form an alliance to attack Yuan in order to survive. If Yuan Shao guards the Yellow River barrier, it will be difficult for other forces except Liu Bei to use troops against Yuan Shao's homeland.

Yuan Shao was somewhat reluctant to deal with the forces of the six southern states.

But if he only dealt with Liu Bei, Yuan Shao would not be afraid.

Nanpi City fell because Yuan Shao's troops were restrained by Gongsun Zan.

In other words, Liu Bei used most of his combat power to defeat Wen Chou and take Nanpi City.

If Yuan Shao raises soldiers from the three states to storm Qingzhou, it is not something that Liu Bei can easily resist today!

Even if Liu Bei can block Yuan Shao's attack, it will consume a lot of combat power and give Cao Cao and others an opportunity to take advantage of it!

Two tigers fighting, and a pack of wolves looking around, this is not the result that Zheng Ping wants to see!

Only by destroying the wolves first, and then fighting the tigers, will there be no worries.

This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Ping let Liu Ye enter Zhuocheng.

Zheng Ping needed Liu Ye's hand to influence Yuan Shao's general situation.

Yuan Shao stood up suddenly: "The general is honest and does not deceive me! Liu Shuzuo is a great talent, and he is worthy of the name of "the talent of the world"!"

Not only Yuan Shao was surprised, but Xu You, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and Feng Ji were also surprised.

They are all people who have been famous for a long time, and they can also draw a big picture for Yuan Shao.

But Liu Ye has not reached the championship yet!

"Liu Ye is so young, he will be reused by the general in the future."

"hateful!"

"Because of Liu Ye, not only did he fail to get rid of Shen Pei Fengji, but Xun Chen, who was framed by Fengji before, was also released from prison."

"Now that Liu Ye has shown Zuo Shizhi's strategy again, how can I make the general obey me?"

Guo Tu clenched his fist again.

Feng Ji had a different idea.

"This Liu Ye was promoted by Zhengnan, and if he saved my life and Zhengnan's life, then he is one of his own."

"Guo Tu's eyes look like he's about to eat Liu Ye, heh, the more angry you are, the more I want to support you."

Immediately.

Feng Ji came out in a loud voice: "General, although Liu Shuzuo is young, he has ten times the general situation of the world as I do."

"As the saying goes, ambition is not based on age. In the past, Gan Luo was 12 years old when he was a prime minister, and he won eleven cities without a single soldier. Today, Liu Shuzuo can draw the general trend of the world, and he can also make the general in charge of the heroes of Nanzhou in the palm of his hand."

"Ji thinks that Liu Shuzuo can be promoted to the genus of Xicao."

Officials are called 掾, and those who are deputy are called genus.The general opened the mansion to build Xicao, with a rank ratio of four hundred stones, and it was used by officials in the main mansion.

As the genus of Xi Cao, the Shu Zuoguan under Chang Shi's command is no different from reaching the sky in one step.

The judge also said: "General, although Liu Shuzuo is young, his intelligence is not inferior to ordinary people. Now is the time to employ people. Take Liu Shuzuo as the genus of Xicao. After a few years of experience, when he reaches the crown, he can be promoted to Xicao."

Yuan Shao had always admired Liu Ye, but now he was recommended by Fengji and appointed Liu Ye as the subordinate of the General's Mansion Xicao.

Liu Ye offered another plan, saying: "Ye heard that Liu Xie moved east to Luoyang, intending to move his capital to Qingzhou. If Liu Xie moves his capital to Qingzhou, Liu Bei will have the power to command Nanzhou, which is not good for the general."

"Ye thought that he could send people to Luoyang to spread rumors. He said that Liu Bei built Guanggu City in Qingzhou, and declared that Guanggu City was the third imperial capital after Chang'an and Luoyang. He must have the heart of disobedience."

"Although Liu Bei can defend himself, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others will definitely use this rumor as an excuse to prevent Liu Xie from moving his capital to Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "This plan is very clever! We are lucky to have Liu Xicao now!"

After the meeting.

Feng Ji personally invited Xun Chen out of prison and apologized to Xun Chen.

Xun Chen couldn't help being surprised when he heard that Liu Ye had saved him.

"Liu Ye? Why did he come to Zhuocheng?"

"Isn't that one of the three outstanding youths in Qingzhou?"

After Xun Chen further understood the reason, the surprise in his heart turned into horror.

"Jianpei and Fengji strongly recommend Liu Ye as a member of the General's Mansion Xicao?"

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Could it be that Feng Ji really secretly communicated with Liu Bei?"

Xun Chen kept silent and found Guo Tu after he was released from prison.

Both were from Yingchuan, and Yuan Shao joined him, so Xun Chen was naturally closer to Guo Tu.

"You Ruo, are you serious? Then Liu Ye is really one of the three outstanding youths in Qingzhou, who is as famous as Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun?" Guo Tu was shocked when he heard this.

Xun Chen was a little strange: "It stands to reason that Liu Ye's identity is not difficult to find out. Why did Liu Ye take such a big risk to come to Zhuocheng? Isn't he afraid that his identity will be found out?"

Guo Tu couldn't help being annoyed: "I see, no wonder Liu Ye insisted on seeing the general today! He also said that You Ruo's imprisonment and the punishment of the interrogator were all Liu Bei's schemes to alienate."
