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

Chapter 51

Back in Gaotang County, Liu Bei told his mother Wu, who was nearly fifty years old, about his marriage.

When she heard that she was going to marry Pingyuan King Liu Shuo's niece, Wu was both happy and worried.

I am happy that Liu Bei is finally willing to renew his wife, but what worries me is the status of the other party.

After all, Liu Bei is just a small county magistrate now. His grandfather and father died young, and his uncle Liu Juan and Liu Zijing were affected by the war and disappeared. Even his uncle Liu Yuanqi, who had always supported Liu Bei, died of illness two years ago. The elders in charge.

This made Wu quite troubled.

Liu Bei also felt a little troubled when he thought about it.

Although Liu Ziping was the matchmaker, Liu Bei lacked an elder who could sit on the same level as Pingyuan King Liu Shuo.

The irritable Liu Bei came to Zheng Ping for advice.

"As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and one is a father for life. Although there are no elders who can talk in the family of the county lord, but the teacher is still there, why not send someone to Shanggu County, Youzhou to ask Lu Shangshu to preside over it?"

"Suwen County Venerable and Gongsun Zan are inseparable friends. Gongsun Zan is now General Fenwu and has been granted the title of Marquis of Ji. The County Venerable wants to marry a wife. How can Gongsun Zan not come to support him?"

"Xianzun also has many friends in Youzhou. For such a big event, I have to inform my old acquaintances."

Even if Liu Bei didn't come to ask, Zheng Ping still had such plans.

Although it is a private matter for Liu Bei to marry a wife.

But if it is operated reasonably, it can also create fame for Liu Bei again.

If Lu Zhi can come, even Pingyuan Wang Liu Shuo will have to give way to Lu Zhi by three points.

And these years, Lu Zhi's disciples and old officials are quite a lot!
If Liu Bei can get Lu Zhi's favor and personally preside over Liu Bei's marriage as an elder, it will be of great help to Liu Bei's foothold in Qingzhou in the future.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but then he felt a little uneasy: "Sir, I am not taught by my mentor, I am just a student of his disciples, and my mentor may not come."

Such worries are not unreasonable, after all, Liu Bei is a scumbag under Lu Zhi's school.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled lightly: "Why should the county lord belittle himself? Lu Shangshu is not only a great Confucian in the country, but also a loyal minister and general of the Han Dynasty."

"When Emperor Ling passed away, General He Jin took control of the government and adopted Yuan Shao's suggestion to recruit Bingzhou Shepherd Dong Zhuo to Beijing. Lu Shangshu tried hard to persuade him, but He Jin refused to listen, which led to disaster."

"Later, due to Dong Zhuo's chaos in power, he wanted to dethrone the young emperor and set up King Chenliu. When all the officials were called to discuss, only Lu Shangshu objected. In the end, Lu Shangshu was dismissed from his post and had no choice but to return to his hometown because of illness, so he lived in seclusion in Shanggu County."

"Although Lu Shangshu lives in seclusion, he must still be worried about state affairs. If the county lord goes to trust Lu Shangshu at this moment, stating his ambition and our deployment in Qingzhou, Lu Shangshu will definitely not sit idly by."

"Even if it fails, there will be no loss to the county magistrate."

"If Lu Shangshu doesn't want to come, I'll ask my father to preside over it for the county lord."

Liu Bei gritted his teeth slightly, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Mr. is right. Whether it will succeed or not, you need to try it to know. I will send someone to deliver the letter."

"County Honor, let Yide go to Youzhou." Zheng Ping paced with his fan, showing the style of a wise man: "While sending a letter to Lu Shangshu, let Yide go to Gongsun Zan to borrow some soldiers and horses."

"Borrowing soldiers and horses?" Liu Bei was a little surprised: "Is there not enough soldiers and horses in Pingyuan County?"

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "It's not that they are not enough, but there is a big difference between Lu Shangshu with soldiers and horses and Lu Shangshu without soldiers and horses."

"Lu Shangshu is a soldier. If he knew the yellow scarves that the county lord intended for the whole Qingzhou, he wouldn't come here just for the county lord's marriage."

"With more strength, to solve the Yellow Turban problem in Qingzhou, there is more possibility of success."

"After all, these yellow scarves have to fight with them!"

"Of course, if Lu Shangshu is unwilling to come, these soldiers and horses can also be our help."

"In addition, the county lord has such a deep friendship with Gongsun Zan, so it must not be difficult for him to send a general who is good at commanding cavalry to help out."

One of the core of pulling wool is to have a thick skin.

Whether it is Lu Zhi or Gongsun Zan, they are all in Zheng Ping's calculations.

It's just that there was no suitable reason before, to borrow troops from Gongsun Zan and let Lu implant in Qingzhou.

But now, there is a reason.

Liu Bei wanted to marry the niece of Pingyuan King Liu Shuo, but he lacked an elder, so he had the audacity to invite Lu Zhi.

And as Liu Bei's good brother, Gongsun Zan, how could he not borrow some soldiers to support Liu Bei?

"Sir, is it too much to plot against your mentor and Brother Bogui?" Liu Bei's face was a little hot.

Zheng Ping shook his head and chuckled: "The county lord, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Lu Shangshu and Gongsun Zan helped the county lord this time, and the county lord can repay the favor in the future. This is just a sophistication between the same sect, how can it be called a scheme?" ?”

Liu Bei thought again, Zheng Ping's words were not unreasonable.

They are all from the same family, and it is common to help each other.

Immediately, without hesitation, Liu Bei wrote a letter to Lu Zhi and Gongsun Zan respectively, and handed it to Zheng Pingrun for writing.

After finding that there were no omissions or deviations in the meaning expressed in the letter, Liu Bei re-wrote a copy and handed it to Zhang Fei for careful instructions.

"Brother, if I go to Youzhou, I won't be able to come back for a while. If there are thieves in Gaotang County, how can my second brother resist alone?" Zhang Fei was reckless but not stupid.

Zhang Fei also knew a lot about the deployment of Gaotang County.

After the autumn harvest, there will inevitably be a tough battle with the Yellow Turban. If he went to Youzhou at this time, it would be too late for Zhang Fei to return.

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, and said in a concentrated voice: "Don't worry about Yide, Mr. and Yun Chang are here, and it is more than enough to deal with the yellow scarves in Gaotang County. And your mission to Youzhou is even more important than defending Gaotang County from thieves. I There are not many people who can be used around, so I can only let Yide take a trip in person."

Zhang Fei looked at Zheng Ping again, and said in a rare solemn tone, "Sir, elder brother's martial arts skills are not as good as mine and second elder brother's. When we went back to Yuyang to conquer Zhang Chun, he almost died on the battlefield."

"My second brother and I have already agreed that no matter where the eldest brother goes, one of the second brother and I must be guarded by his side."

"Now that I have gone to Youzhou, the safety of this elder brother can be entrusted to the husband."

"I've also been studying recently, and the son of a daughter can't sit still, sir, don't let your elder brother take risks easily."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Yide, you go to Youzhou as soon as you go to Youzhou, and you still tell me like this, do you really treat your elder brother and me like a child?"

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Yide has a heart to protect the county lord, how can I be negligent? I promise you!"

Only then did Zhang Fei heave a sigh of relief, he clasped his fist at Liu Bei, and then hid the letter and left for Youzhou.

During this period, the joint recommendation letter of Chen Ji and Liu Ziping was also sent to Qingzhou Governor's Office.

Seeing the recommendation letter, Jiao He was immediately puzzled.

"Elevate Liu Bei, magistrate of Tang County, as a talented person?"

"Who is this Liu Bei, even Chen Ji and Liu Ziping personally recommended him?"

　Well, there is no more water, to promote the plot...

　　It's a pity that Zhao Yun hasn't defected to Gongsun Zan yet, otherwise this wave would have pulled him over.
