Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 32 Three suggestions given by Lu Yi to Liu Bei

When Tao Qian died, a simple funeral was held, and his body was put into a coffin. Lu Yi escorted him down when he was about to go south to Lujiang, and finally found a way to send it to Danyang County.

Tao Qian is from Danyang County.

People at this time pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots.

Apart from the fact that refugees have no choice but to die in a foreign land, most people demand that the body be transported back to their homeland for burial no matter what.

The night before he was about to leave, Liu Bei, as the Mu of Yuzhou and the Mu of Xuzhou, specially hosted a banquet for him at his residence to thank him and the prefect of Lujiang for their assistance to Xuzhou.

Lu Yi only brought Nangong Yan with him this time, leaving Xu Shu to read in Yeshe while Xu Sheng went to bed early.

When they arrived at Liu Bei's residence, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Lu Yi and Nangong Yan arriving, the four of them rushed to greet them.

Both sides saluted each other, and Liu Bei made a gesture of invitation.

A group of people entered the hall, and Liu Bei asked his servants to serve food and wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Bei stood up, came to Lu Yi, knelt down next to him, blushed and said apologetically: "Lu Shijun, I know you are still angry with me. Before, you deliberately He told me not to take Xuzhou, but I didn't listen."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu also looked over.

Lu Yi just smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande thinks too much."

"Now, you are already the state pastor of Xu and Hezhou, which is extremely valuable."

"And I'm just a Sima from another department in Lujiang."

"There is a huge difference in status, so why should I be angry with you?"

Liu Bei was suddenly choked and speechless.

Zhang Fei on the side came over, his eyes widened, and said to Lu Yi: "You are so petty! If my elder brother really feels that there is a huge difference in status between him and you, Mr. Lu, why do you want to hold this banquet to apologize?"

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and said angrily: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense! Mr. Lu is definitely not that kind of person. He is just a normal person's reaction. If it were me, I would kindly advise him, but that man If you don’t listen to me, I will be angry too.”

Tian Yu followed and walked over, smiled at Lu Yi and said, "That's right, Mr. Lu is so young, how can he be that kind of person?"

Guan Yu also came over, holding his beard and saying: "Yide, Lu Shijun has helped us a lot and is our benefactor. How can you slander him?"

Zhang Fei spread his hands and said depressedly: "You, you are going too far! Lu Shijun is angry with my elder brother, but you praise him instead. I just said something wrong about him, so I am no longer a human being inside and outside?"

Nangong Yan looked at this scene, laughed, and said to Lu Yi: "Brother Lu, there is no need. Mr. Xuande sincerely apologizes this time, and the matter is over. Moreover, you have already eaten at other people's banquets, and you are soft-spoken. The taker has short hands.”

Lu Yi looked at the helpless looks of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu, and felt a little unable to get angry.

Sighing, Lu Yi said: "That's all, I'm not angry anymore. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's understandable that Xuande Guild didn't listen to the advice and insisted on taking Xuzhou."

"Xuan Degong and Cao Cao joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo."

"But now, Cao Cao is so powerful, but you have no fixed place and have been wandering."

"Now that Xuzhou is in front of you, it is indeed difficult to refuse."

Liu Bei grabbed Lu Yi's hand, nodded heavily and said, "Although Lu Shijun is young, he is very thoughtful. He is really my confidant! Lu Shijun, I wonder if you can stay? If you can stay -"

Lu Yi interrupted Liu Bei and said: "I appreciate Duke Xuande's great love, but I am still an official in Lujiang. If I stay, it will be the same as betrayal."

In fact, if Liu Bei had not taken Xuzhou.

He said this, Lu Yi would really stay.

The nest is too small after all.

If Liu Bei can go to Jiangdong or Yizhou, it would be good to assist him himself.

But the problem is, Liu Bei didn't do this, he still followed the old path of history.

Looking at Liu Bei's face, Lu Yi secretly shook his head.

At this time, although Liu Bei was much older than himself, he was actually still too young and needed to be polished.

His current temperament is unstable, a little greedy, and a little eager for success.

Moreover, he seems to be easy to talk to, but in fact, he is extremely stubborn about the things he believes in.

This, and the statue of Cao Cao after taking the north.

Throughout history, after Cao Cao captured the north, he seemed to attach great importance to talents, but at critical moments, he would not listen to other people's opinions.

As for the Battle of Chibi, both Jia Xu and Xun You once advised him not to fight in such a hurry, but to appease Jingzhou first, train the navy well, and then have a showdown with Sun Quan.

But he just wouldn't listen.

In the end, he ended up in a disastrous defeat. He blamed others for not persuading him, saying, "If Fengxiao was here, Anron would have allowed me to suffer such a disastrous defeat."

I don't want to accompany Liu Bei through the ups and downs.

The only thing he wants to do now is to be stable and steady.

He has figured it out.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

As a person who has traveled through time, I am not the same person as any of the princes in this world.

Their thoughts are simply unacceptable to me.

Liu Bei's thoughts are relatively receptive, but despite his seemingly gentle appearance, he has a stubborn heart and is also a leader who is difficult to help.

Of course, the most critical issue is that he is no longer alone.

The identity of a branch of the Lu family is tied to him.

Under his command were Lu Ji and Lu Kang, members of the main Lu family.

Now I still have a thousand Danyang elites on hand.

This time Lujiang had three thousand reinforcements, and there were still one thousand left.

He is no longer the person who just traveled through time with nothing.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu looked disappointed when they heard what Lu Yi said.

Liu Bei nodded slowly and said: "Okay, I know that I, Liu Bei, have a shallow fate and cannot be favored by a great talent like Lu Shijun."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Why does Duke Xuande need to provoke the general? Everyone has their own difficulties."

Liu Bei forced a smile and said: "Well, Ambassador Lu, before you leave, can you give me some advice?"

"While spending time with Mr. Lu during this time, I always feel that although Mr. Lu is young, he has a long-term vision, which is really admirable!"

Tian Yu bowed to Lu Yi and said: "Lu Shijun, now my eldest brother has just taken over Xuzhou, and the people in Xuzhou don't seem to be very cooperative. Please help my eldest brother!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was silent for a moment and nodded.

Although he and Liu Bei are not on the same path, Liu Bei is indeed a very good person.

He has traveled through time and space, and he has never seen anyone, including Lu Kang, who is more approachable and easy-going than Liu Bei.

Other officials and family talkers all looked aloof.

Especially when it comes to treating common people, they are completely unbecoming of humans: they are just a bunch of tools that are picked up when needed and used as tools when not in use!
Only Liu Bei is different.

While guarding Tancheng this time, he could often see Liu Bei carrying things with ordinary people, talking and laughing.

Treat yourself with enough face.Thinking of this, Lu Yi looked at Liu Bei and said, "In that case, I will give Mr. Xuande three suggestions."

Liu Bei hurriedly came closer and said with a serious face: "Lu Shijun, please tell me!"

Lu Yi said: "First, it is normal for some people not to listen to you when you first took charge of Xuzhou Mu. You are an outsider and have no foundation. The local families in Xuzhou all have their own arrogance. How can you listen easily?"

"To deal with this situation, you need to be bound to the local families in Xuzhou."

"You are not like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. They came from the fourth generation and the third generation. No matter where they are, there are people who regard them as the leader."

"You have no reputation. As an outsider, if you want to stick to it without being bound to the local family, that is tantamount to wishful thinking."

"Among the current families in Xuzhou, there are two major families that you must bind."

"One is the Mi family."

"Defending Tancheng this time, I wonder if Mr. Xuande noticed it? The Mi family is as rich as any country and has many tribes!"

Liu Bei nodded.

Lu Yi said: "Go to the Mi family tomorrow and complain to them that you are short of money and people, especially your trusted right-hand man, and a woman to take charge of the backyard."

"Now, Mr. Xuande, you are the state pastor of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and your future is limitless."

"The Mi family will definitely understand what you mean."

"When the time comes, if they propose marriage, you must not refuse."

"Once we get married, and they are complained by you, they will definitely do their best to help you."

Tian Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

Lu Yi continued: "The other one is the Chen family."

"The Chen family is indeed not as rich as the Mi family, nor does it have as many tribes as them, but they are the descendants of Taiwei Chen Qiu."

"If Xuande Gong had observed carefully during this defense of the city, he would have discovered that although the major families in Xuzhou are self-righteous, they will all consider the words of Chen Gui and his son."

"Xuan Degong can also use marriage or sworn brotherhood to bind the Chen family."

Liu Bei frowned, but did not retort: ​​"What else?"

Lu Yi took a sip of wine before continuing: "Secondly, Xuande Gong occupies the two prefectures of Yuzhou and Xuzhou. He has a large jurisdiction. Yuan Shu to the south of you will definitely not let you go like this."

"Take precautions in advance."

"It's only a matter of time before Yuan Shu attacks."

"Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have turned against each other, and they are on the same level."

"Then, you can form an alliance with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and concentrate on fighting against Yuan Shu."

"The enemy of the enemy is the friend."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and said angrily: "I don't quite understand. Cao Cao just avenged his father and massacred Xuzhou. At this time, we are seeking an alliance with him. Neither Cao Cao nor the people in Xuzhou will agree, right?"

Guan Yu also nodded.

Lu Yi smiled and said, "Do you think Cao Cao's revenge for his father is really as simple as revenge?"

"He avenged his father? Then he slaughtered so many people and everyone seeks revenge from him?"

"Obviously not."

"Cao Cao's second expedition to Xuzhou may indeed have a sense of revenge for his father, but it is more about the territory of Xuzhou!"

"Cao Cao is in Yanzhou. If he captures Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou, then Youzhou will be between him and Yuan Shao!"

"Youzhou Gongsun Zan has no possibility of joining forces with others."

"If Cao Cao advances, he can go north and join forces with Yuan Shao to destroy Youzhou; if he retreats, he can go south and capture Yuan Shu and even Jiangdong."

"That was his true intention."

"However, this time Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, and Cao Cao had no time to save himself. At this time, if Xuzhou follows suit and causes trouble, he does not dare to bear the consequences."

"As long as Duke Xuande sends people to the alliance, he will definitely agree."

"As for the people in Xuzhou, do you think they care about the fact that Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou?"

"Although Xuzhou did massacre Xuzhou, almost all of them were ordinary people."

"The main members of the major families have all moved to Tancheng, with almost no losses."

"In their eyes, the lives of ordinary people are just family property. Although they are heartbroken when they lose them, it is not to the point of becoming life-or-death enemies."

Liu Bei's face looked a little ugly.

Seeing this, Tian Yu said, "Brother, although what Lu Shijun said is cruel, it is indeed true. Think about how many big families have treated the common people as human beings since our wars over the years?"

Liu Bei then hummed and said to Lu Yi: "Lu Shijun, there is one more."

Lu Yi exhaled and said, "The third one is Lu Bu."

"It will definitely be difficult for Duke Xuande in Xuzhou, and he will definitely be short of major generals. However, remember, no matter how short of major generals, you can't ask for Lu Bu."

Standing up, patting his clothes, Lu Yi stood up, hugged Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu and said, "That's all I can say. Everyone, I have to leave. I have to leave tomorrow. sleep tight."

Liu Bei said with a reluctant look on his face: "Lu Shijun, you, you really can't stay?"

Lu Yi didn't answer, just smiled and continued to leave with Nangong Yan.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu followed.

After walking out of the mansion, we were about to go to the residence!

Lu Yi stopped and said to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu: "Don't send me off! If I see you off again, I will go to my home."

Only then did Liu Bei and the four of them stop.

Lu Yi and Nangong Yan continued to leave.

Liu Bei watched the two people walking away and couldn't help but said: "Lu Shijun!"

Lu Yi stopped in confusion, looked at Liu Bei behind him and said, "What?"

Liu Beiqiang laughed, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something. In the end, he swallowed it and said: "It's nothing. I just want to see Mr. Lu again. I don't know when we can say goodbye this time." goodbye."

Lu Yi didn't respond and turned to leave.

Seeing that Lu Yi and Nangong Yan were about to disappear from his eyes, Liu Bei took a few steps forward.

Tian Yu saw this and said, "Brother, forget it."

Liu Bei stopped again, looked back at Tian Yu, and said with a bitter look on his face: "You and I, brothers, are all warriors. I have never been afraid of anyone when leading troops in battle. However, running a territory is not about fighting. You need to What matters is planning and vision.”

"Among our brothers, there is no such person with such talent."

"Everyone else has their own agenda."

"Relying on binding relationships is of little use in this kind of matter. Once they find something that endangers themselves, they will leave me."

"And Lu Shijun is not this kind of person. It's a pity that-"

Tian Yu comforted him: "Brother, there are so many people in Xuzhou, there will always be people like this who are willing to help you. We will search slowly and we will always find them."

Guan Yu echoed: "Yes, brother, don't be too pessimistic. What kind of scenes have you and I not experienced? Now that we have two states as our foundation, everything is full of hope!"
