Chapter 785 Contact Xuzhou?

According to Duanmu Ruoyu's information, after Chen Deng persuaded Liu Bei, Liu Bei still did not take office immediately.

It just so happened that in order to improve the cause of the savior, Kong Rong, a well-known celebrity in Beihai, came to Xiaopei to persuade Liu Bei without hesitation.Kong Rong always speaks directly, and this time is no exception. He first pointed out that Yuan Shu is a very unreliable person. As for his family's ancestors, they have long since died, so why do they care?Then, Kong Rong, as an academic scholar, made an assertion from the perspective of the relationship between heaven and man: "Today's affairs, the people have the ability, the heavens do not take, and regret cannot be pursued."

Now that the talk has come to this point, Liu Bei no longer refuses, and takes up his post as Xuzhou Mu.

Of course, in Ma Chao's view, Kong Rong could only scold Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei listened.As for the induction between heaven and man.Liu Bei should go in with his left ear and out with his right ear.Maybe, after listening to Kong Rong's persuasion, it was Liu Bei who felt that he was too embarrassing with Chen Deng, and just in time for Kong Rong's success, he borrowed the opportunity to go down the donkey.

But no matter what, Liu Bei finally took the position of Xuzhou Mu.After ten years of hard work, I finally made it through!

The current Liu Bei is no longer a poor boy selling straw sandals at a street stall in Zhuo County, no longer an aspiring young man with nowhere to serve the country, no longer a rootless duckweed in troubled times under the fence of others, he finally has his own territory and becomes A town of princes, the prospects for development are bright.

But Liu Bei knows that in such an era when the world is governed by the public, it is still unknown how long he can be the Xuzhou Shepherd.

Xuzhou is not a small place with only a few cities, but one of the thirteen prefectures in the country at that time. According to the census figures during Emperor Shun's period (62-126), the total population was about 144 million, making it a truly large place.

What is an upstart?Liu Bei is now.

But nouveau riche also has the difficulty of nouveau riche, that is, Liu Bei is worried that he will not be able to keep this windfall: even if Xuzhou Mu, who has fallen from the world, has fallen into his own hands, of course he is not willing to share it with others.

This is a common problem of vested interests.

Liu Bei was not exempt, and what was even worse was that Liu Bei really didn't have much bargaining chips at this time. He had a weak foundation and shallow roots, and he had no confidence to settle down in Xuzhou.

Let me talk about military strength first.At this time Liu Bei's direct line generals, Ma Chao knew Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Guan Hai.It seems that there are quite a few, and they are all people with outstanding force, courage and strategy.But Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were only guest generals, and Guan Hai was a Yellow Turban general, so he didn't dare to use them much.Therefore, after ten years of mixing, Liu Bei's direct lineage is still Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

And the troops under his command were quite a lot, and they really expanded to 2000 troops at once.But in the hands, after excluding the more than 3000 soldiers and horses under Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, there are only more than [-] cavalry under Zhang Fei and [-] infantry under Guan Yu, who can obey Liu Bei's orders and charge upwards in battle , which is less than seven thousand.It's hard to say that other Xuzhou troops really support Boss Liu, they can only be regarded as a fool.In peaceful times, if you pay me to work as an errand, the days will pass by. Whether you can be reliable at critical moments is a big question mark.

Let's talk about civil servants and staff.Liu Bei's original civil servants were only Jian Yong. When he was in Xiaopei, he selected Yuan Huan from Fule, Chen County, and when he took office in Xuzhou, he selected Sun Gan from Beihai, Qingzhou. Both of them were unfamiliar in Xuzhou and were not very old. Influence.

What Liu Bei can really rely on are Mi Zhu and Chen Deng.

Mizhu, whose name is Zizhong, is from Donghai, Xuzhou. His ancestors have been rich businessmen for several generations. They are quite rich. There are tens of thousands of servants in his family.When Tao Qian was in office, Mi Zhu served as the secretary-general of the Xuzhou government (don't drive), and he had a certain reputation among the local bureaucracy and powerful landlords.The most important thing is that Mi Zhu was very optimistic about Liu Bei, and later even refused to be the prefect recommended by Cao Cao, and followed Liu Bei unswervingly throughout his life.

Chen Deng, whose courtesy name is Yuanlong, is a native of Xiapi. He is rarely known for his talent, and he can be said to be an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.When Tao Qian was in office, Chen Deng served as the head of the Xuzhou Agriculture Department (Diannong Xiaowei) in charge of farming affairs.It should be noted that agriculture at that time was definitely the basic industry plus the leading industry of the national economy, and farming was the top priority of agriculture. The status of Chen Deng, the head of the Agriculture Department, was not a bit higher than that of today's agricultural cadres.Chen Deng was also very optimistic about Liu Bei, so he tried his best to promote Liu Bei to take over as Xuzhou Mu.Two or three years later, Chen Deng returned to Cao Cao as the prefect of Guangling. When he chatted with others and commented on the famous people in the world, he still admired Liu Bei very much: "Bowen is strong, Qiyi Zhuoluo, I respect Kong Wenju (Kong Rong); For the strategy of domination, I respect Liu Xuande."

The majestic feudal official Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei can only rely on this pitifully small amount of capital.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful landlords in various places were very powerful, and most of the local cadres were selected from among them.They wanted money to have money, people to have people, and status to have status. They were the backbone of society at that time.If outside leaders want to gain a firm foothold, they must gain their support.And to gain their support, it is not a matter of one sentence, it takes time and strategies to operate step by step.For example, go to Li Zhuang Zhuzhuang for a drink today, and tomorrow to have a meal at Wang County Magistrate's house. Only by going back and forth to strengthen exchanges can a deep revolutionary friendship be established.

After all, it has only been half a year since Liu Bei took office in Xuzhou, and it is too late to make many achievements and win over many people.He is different from Ma Chao, he did not start in Yongzhou, where powerful landlords are not too deep, let alone Ma Chao's long-term entrenched, he can use iron and blood to remove those tyrants who dare to oppose him.All he can do is to contact those people first and get their support.But even though Liu Bei has put on a humble attitude, it can be inferred from the intelligence that most of those tyrants still think that Liu Bei's background is too weak and his starting point is too low, so they don't regard him as a potential stock.

After all, coaxing the people of Li and common people who can't survive is not the same thing as winning over those tycoons: the common people only need a vague hope, but the tyrants pay attention to profits!

So although Xuzhou is big, the power Liu Bei can control is very limited.

However, Ma Chao took a fancy to this, after hearing all the information from Duanmu Ruoyu.After quietly thinking for a while, after pointing at the simulated sand table map, he leaned over and said softly to Diaochan: "Chan'er, I have already thought about going to Xuzhou."

"Husband, what do you want?..." After all, Diao Chan's political vision was not as good as Ma Chao's. After hearing that Ma Chao was ascertaining all the information about Liu Bei, she made this decision solemnly.I couldn't help but wonder Ma Chao's original intention, and asked, "Could it be that my husband wants to meet that Liu Bei?"

"Yes, since Liu Xie in Xuchang has made moves, the Ma family can't stand still." Speaking of this, Ma Chao signaled Duanmu Ruoyu and Diao Chan to look at the sand table simulation map, and explained: "Today's big man is already complicated. We have come to an unspeakable situation. On the surface, there are currently two major camps in the Central Plains: one is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao; Therefore, he is very uncomfortable. But don't forget, besides these two factions, there is our Ma family!"

"Once our Ma family participates in Xuzhou, it is conceivable that the situation in Xuzhou will become more complicated and changeable." Ma Chao sorted out his thoughts. To be honest, Ma Chao couldn't estimate the consequences of the Ma family's hastily participating in Xuzhou.But he knew that the Ma family just made a superficial alliance with Liu Bei, which was enough to make Liu Bei happy.But if Liu Bei really has trouble, it is normal for the Ma family to be so far away, and it will not affect the overall situation of the Ma family.

In the process of planning the entire Han Dynasty, Ma Chao did not make any progress except that he was forced to rob Nanyang and occupy Yingchuan during the disaster victims period.At this moment, it would be beneficial to regard Liu Bei in Xuzhou as a signal to the princes from all walks of life.

At least, he wanted to see the reactions of the two big men, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.Thus, he can formulate the future development plan of the Ma family.

What's more, Liu Bei's future development is limitless.Making an emotional investment in advance will not do any harm to the Ma family.

Of course, in this way, Ma Chao can have a reasonable excuse, enter Xuzhou openly, and investigate the matter of the Mi family's official hat and chair by the way...
