The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 332 Li You's Actions in Xuzhou
"By the way, I have to tell Xingba to go to Xia Pi on the way back. It's also time for Wenru to return to Fenggao." Chen Xi said to Liu Bei.

"Did Wenru manage the Xuzhou noble family?" Liu Bei asked Chen Xi with some surprise. Liu Bei was really not used to the days without Li You by his side.

"Wenru didn't do anything to cause bloodshed in Xuzhou, right?" Liu Bei continued to ask. Liu Bei had a pretty good idea of ​​Li You's background by now.

"Lord Xuande is not paying attention to the movements in Xuzhou?" Chen Xi asked in some surprise. He remembered that even if Liu Bei would not interfere with the strategies of local chiefs, he would carefully look through the archives records reported to Fenggao and the records of the intelligence system.

"After returning from Xuzhou in March, I haven't paid attention to the affairs of Xuzhou." Liu Bei did not say what he had been doing some time ago and why he didn't pay attention to the affairs of Xuzhou.

After listening to what Liu Bei said, Chen Xi did not ask any more questions. After all, everyone has his or her own life, and no matter how close the relationship is, one must give the other person some private space.

"What Wenru did in Xuzhou has indeed caused 90% of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou to feel a certain resentment towards you, Lord Xuande." Chen Xi's opening words stunned Liu Bei.

What did that guy Li You do to those aristocratic families in Xuzhou that made 90% of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou resent Liu Bei?

"Will Wenru really not cause the bloodshed of every noble family in Xuzhou?" Liu Bei asked tentatively. Li You, who was inspired by his benevolence, should not do such a cruel thing, right?

"It's not like every family sees blood, but it's almost the same. Otherwise, 90% of the noble families in Xuzhou would not resent you." Chen Xi shrugged. It was impossible to ask Li You not to engage in bloody terror. If he didn't, he would be Li You Li Wenru.

"What on earth is Wenru doing?" Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Since he failed to make every family wear mourning clothes, the Xuzhou noble families could just resent him. Anyway, those noble families could not do anything to him.

"It's nothing. It's just about inciting internal strife among most of the families in Xuzhou, and then bringing Yuan Shao's people from Jizhou in the north into Xuzhou." Chen Xi said lightly.

Li You did not consult with others. He planned and executed the plan by himself when he was in Xuzhou. In a short period of time, he could clean up the dark hands and influence of the Xuzhou families in the military and political affairs of Xuzhou and stabilize Xuzhou, which was not very solid to begin with.

Originally, Chen Xi didn't know what Li You was doing in Xuzhou, but who could blame him? There was a guy in Fenggao Government Affairs Office who knew Li You very well and was very good at digging out the dark side of human nature.

Jia Xu did not ask Li You what his plan was at that time. He guessed what Li You wanted to do just from the apparent turmoil among the Xuzhou families, and by the way, he also dug up Li You's subsequent plans.

Jia Xu knew about it. How could other people in the Government Affairs Hall not know about Xuzhou's situation? At the very least, Jia Xu would inform Chen Xi.

After all, Chen Xi controls the direction of Liu Bei's forces and is the one who does the top-level planning. If Chen Xi is not informed of the matter, one day when Chen Xi's plan for Xuzhou conflicts with Li You's opportunity to stabilize Xuzhou, then one side's plan will be scrapped.

When Chen Xi received the notification from Jia Xu, he also asked Jia Xu why Li You did not report it to him. Chen Xi had no objection to the plan and did not intend to stop Li You's actions.

As a result, Jia Xu told Chen Xi that this was what Li You asked him to tell him. Otherwise, with Li You's ability, Jia Xu would not have seen through it so quickly and reported it to Chen Xi.

"..."Faced with the answer given by Chen Xi, Liu Bei held his forehead and sighed, not knowing how to comment on it. He could only say that he was worthy of being Li You?
"This is a sting operation. Didn't you try to stop him?" Liu Bei said with a wry smile.

Liu Bei certainly did not have a good impression of most of the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty, but there was no need for him to do something like inducing others to commit crimes.

"It's not Wenru who set up the trap, but the Xuzhou aristocratic families who took the initiative to fall into it. Wenru just added fuel to the fire." Chen Xi sneered. If it was Li You who took the initiative to set up the trap, Chen Xi would have stopped Li You's plan long ago.

With the current speed of development under Liu Bei's rule, there is no need to do this kind of operation to leave someone with something to hold hostage.

When they see the benefits of following Chen Xi and Liu Bei, they will support Liu Bei's rule themselves.

The Mi family of Xuzhou where Mi Zhu was from was originally just a merchant family, but after following Liu Bei, to what extent has the Mi family expanded now?

Before Mi Zhu chose to follow Liu Bei, the Mi family could only be regarded as a local tyrant in the entire Han Dynasty, not even close to being a noble family.

After Mi Zhu chose to follow Liu Bei, although the Mi family was still not considered a noble family, apart from those first-class and above noble families, which other family could challenge the Mi family of Xuzhou and remain unscathed?
The aristocratic families who were able to see clearly had already obediently followed Li You's arrangements, doing whatever they were told to do and relatively speaking obeying the command from Fenggao. After all, they couldn't let the aristocratic families really follow Liu Bei's lead, otherwise they would not be aristocratic families.

As for those guys who couldn't see the situation clearly, even if Li You didn't set up a banquet for them, they would step into another trap themselves. After all, the nature of the existence of the aristocratic family determined that they would definitely clash with the will of Chen Xi and Liu Bei.

"It seems that the noble families in Xuzhou are still obsessed with the military and political power of Xuzhou." Liu Bei shook his head. From Chen Xi's words, he had guessed what was going on.

"Yuan Benchu ​​should have painted a lot of promises for them, right?" Liu Bei asked with interest.

"I'm not very clear about this, but I think apart from those things, Yuan Benchu ​​has nothing else to promise them." Since he is just painting a big picture, then of course he will promise them what they want most.

"Yes, what the noble families in Xuzhou are seeking is nothing more than to divide the control of Xuzhou and then turn Xuzhou into their private territory. There's nothing new about it." Liu Bei guessed what the noble families in Xuzhou were planning after a quick thought.

"The Qingzhou fleet was able to sail freely in the Huai River in the Jiujiang section before, probably because of the transaction between the Shouchun family and the Xuzhou family." Liu Bei added again.

Chen Xi just nodded slightly. After all, apart from this reason, Chen Xi really couldn't think of the main reason why the Qingzhou fleet could freely navigate the Huai River in the Jiujiang section.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'd better go to the deck and tell Xingba about the order to go to Xia Pi." Chen Xi said goodbye to Liu Bei and left the cabin where Liu Bei was.

When Chen Xi returned to the deck, Fa Zhengzheng and Lu Xun stared at each other.

Fa Zheng's eyes were filled with scrutiny of Lu Xun and his bad taste for the high-quality kid.

The reason for the scrutiny was that Chen Xi had asked to take Lu Xun in as his disciple, something that even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had failed to do. Fa Zheng just wanted to see how good this guy's aptitude was, and even Chen Xi couldn't help but ask to take him in as his disciple.

In addition to this, Fa Zheng had other ideas about Lu Xun. After being beaten by Guo Jia and others for so long, he could finally pass on his malice towards high-quality children. Although Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were also high-quality children, Fa Zheng did not really want to find these three, because even Guo Jia and others could easily overturn them.

The fact that they can awaken their spiritual talents at this age is enough to prove that their basic knowledge has already reached a certain level.

Learning the basic knowledge in depth to this level is actually not much different from the basic knowledge of Guo Jia and others. It is more a matter of depth and breadth of knowledge, as well as experience and vision.

But Lu Xun was different. Fa Zheng was very sure that this guy's talent was not as abnormal as Zhuge Liang's. He was just half a level lower. He was at the same level as him and Pang Tong, while Sima Yi was almost at the same level as Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's aptitude is just like Zhao Yun's aptitude in martial arts, almost a gap in level.

However, qualifications are qualifications. Whether one can convert qualifications into one's own strength depends on the efforts of the person concerned.

After a series of tests on Lu Xun just now, Fa Zheng can basically confirm that the Lu Xun in front of him has not awakened his spiritual talent, and it will take a long time for him to awaken his spiritual talent.

PS: Lu Xun is only eleven years old this year, younger than Zhuge Liang. Fa Zheng, are you stimulated by Zhuge Liang?

However, with Lu Xun's qualifications, he could barely embark on the path of being broad and profound, but his path was a little more difficult than that of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

The path of being broad and profound is not something that everyone can take, even if you have such qualifications. For example, Pang Tong also has such qualifications.

However, he realized his interests early on and embarked on a path of specializing in unique strategies and military tactics. On this path, even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi found it difficult to compete with Pang Tong.

However, Lu Xun now still has time to continue exploring the path that he is really interested in. Anyway, before awakening his spiritual talent, he was learning the basic knowledge, and basic knowledge, of course, is a bit of everything.

"Oh, it seems like you two get along pretty well." Seeing the two of them still glaring at each other, Chen Xi, who had nothing good to watch, could only walk out from the shadows.

"Teacher." After seeing that it was Chen Xi, Lu Xun immediately saluted Chen Xi in a serious manner. Because they had not yet formally become disciples, Lu Xun first called Chen Xi teacher, and then called him master after they had become disciples.

"Zichuan, didn't you go back to eat and sleep just now? Why are you here on the deck again?" Fa Zheng looked at Chen Xi teasingly.

"Okay, Boyan, you don't have to be so reserved, just relax." Chen Xi ignored Fa Zheng for the time being, and comforted Lu Xun first.

Chen Xi patted Lawrence Lu's shoulder, then turned to Fa Zheng and said, "There are some things I need to explain to Xingba."

"What's the matter?" Fa Zheng asked with some interest. Isn't the main purpose of the fleet now to get out of the Yangtze River as quickly as possible and then pick up Cao Cao and his men to return to Fenggao?
Could it be that something went wrong with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? Thinking of this, Fa Zheng's eyes lit up unconsciously.

Lu Xun watched and listened to the conversation between his teacher and Fa Zheng with some curiosity, his eyes full of expectation. In the future, he also wanted to become a person like his teacher Chen Xi (laughs).

"It's nothing serious. When the fleet returns, we will just go to Xia Pi and bring Wenru back to Fenggao." Chen Xi said to Fa Zheng.

Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes slid to Lu Xun who was standing behind Chen Xi. He just rolled his eyes and then asked Chen Xi: "Has Master Li finished his work in Xuzhou?"

It is obvious that Fa Zheng also knows what Li You did in Xuzhou. After all, Fa Zheng has his own position in the Government Affairs Hall, and some information can be opened to Fa Zheng.

"It should be done. Anyway, we just need to wait for time to water it, and then wait for it to bloom and bear fruit." Chen Xi looked up at the sky and said in an uncertain tone, which was completely different from the tone he used when he talked to Liu Bei about this matter before.

"What do you mean it should be done? Explain it to me clearly!" Fa Zheng looked at Chen Xi with some dissatisfaction.

This guy is always like this. He always likes to arouse other people's interest and then trick them into joining the project to act as free helpers. Moreover, the deceived people can't say anything to refuse.

Because he was the one who stepped in, so Chen Xi couldn't be blamed. All he could say was that curiosity killed the cat.

"Because the subsequent developments have nothing to do with him." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

Because Li You could not take the initiative to lure the Xuzhou family into making mistakes and leave them with something to hold against them.

So what Li Ru did in Xuzhou was to try his best to stir up internal fights among the Xuzhou families, to arouse resentment among the Xuzhou families towards Liu Bei and Li You, and to let the Xuzhou families connect with the people sent from Jizhou.

In order to reduce the pressure on their side, Jizhou will definitely find ways to create trouble for Liu Bei in order to divert Liu Bei and his men's attention and buy them time to defeat Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

But in the current Han Dynasty, there are only a few people who can cause trouble for Liu Bei.

The group of Western Liang cavalry in Guanzhong were thrown aside for now. Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were busy farming would not go out of the three passes unless Li You sent a letter asking them to march out of Hangu Pass.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou should just stay in Yizhou and play in the mud with Zhang Lu. Although he has capable ministers and generals under his command, for some reason, Liu Zhang just can't defeat Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Next are Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, two warlords that have merged together, although the rift caused by the merger has not yet been completely healed.

But as long as Yuan Shu and Sun Ce can maintain their current relationship, Zhou Yu will have a way to build Sun Ce's forces into the third most powerful vassal force in the world.

If we only talk about military strength, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou should actually be ranked third, but Gongsun Zan's logistics cannot be self-sufficient and still need Liu Bei's continuous support.
