Lu's relatives

Chapter 428 Ye City Changes Owner

More and more people are getting involved, and the current situation is like a big roulette wheel. Until the moment the pointer stops, no one can say what the final fate of these forces who coveted the original Yuan Shao territory in Hebei will be. what is it.

Liu Bei obediently agreed to Kong Rong's request. Facts have proved that Brother Big Ear, who is illuminated by the halo of pig's feet, is so lucky.

[-] Youzhou war horses, this number is not a small number no matter which faction in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty looked at it.Liu Bei didn't know why he became so easy to trust others. With just a few words from this old fat man, nearly half of the war horses in Youzhou were killed by taking advantage of his position to hide the truth from Gongsun Zan, who was imprisoned in Yijing Fortress. Lao Jin secretly allocated it to Kong Rong to take him away.

During the few days when Kong Rong left, Liu Bei, who was gradually regretting in his heart, was sobbing day by day, his intestines were almost green, and the two righteous brothers could faintly see the red and swollen palm marks on Liu Bei's face from time to time.It was all smoked by Liu Bei himself when he scolded himself. The more he smoked, the harder he smoked, and the more he smoked, the happier he was.

Thinking about him, Liu Bei is also a man in his forties, why is he so impatient?Agitated by Kong Rong's small talk, he did such things in a flash of brains.If it is really as good as what Kong Rong described, it is okay, and there is an explanation if it is not good, but if Kong Rong makes a slight mistake and leaks the news, even if Liu Bei sells his hundred and ten catties at a discount, it is estimated that it will be difficult. Settle down the anger of Gongsun Zan who still has power in Youzhou.

Before completely turning Youzhou into Liu Bei's pocket, Liu Bei was still very cautious.The occurrence of this incident also made Liu Bei feel powerless for the first time in his life.This has never happened since the rise of troops in Zhuojun, and it has been bumpy all the way until today.

However, Liu Bei obviously underestimated the "credit" limit of Kong Wenju, the literary chief of the world.Just when Liu Bei lost his composure, he counted the days with his fingers almost every day until the date agreed with Kong Rong.Liu Bei even got up early in the morning and ordered his family servants to pay close attention to whether anyone came looking for him at all times. Whenever someone asked to see him, he didn't ask too many questions, and took him directly to the back hall, where Liu Bei questioned himself.

After sending away a few flattered local "sages" who came to pay a visit, Liu Bei, who was waiting a little nervously, finally waited for the secret silk letter from the person who claimed to be sent by Kong Rong.After carefully inspecting the sealing mud and sending people down to rest and wait for an answer, Liu Bei almost tore open the secret letter that was no more than three fingers wide and half an arm long, reading every word on it with uncontrollable trembling.

Kong Rong's letter was very simple, and to be honest, he couldn't write many words on such a small piece of silk.But from the moment Liu Bei opened it to the time he finished reading it, it took him a whole stick of incense to look at the silk, which was less than a hundred characters long.

"In order to repay your lord's kindness, I will have no regrets! There are [-] black cavalry cavalry, and [-] strong soldiers are waiting for your lord's orders at any time. Servant Zhang Yan worships me."

Liu Bei could hardly believe it was true.Even at the first glance, I subconsciously thought that Kong Rong was playing with people. Isn't this too childish?I took a huge risk to make the move, but it was [-] top-quality Youzhou war horses!In exchange for this light and clever sentence?What happened?No more text?Please, be professional, okay?This...it's so fucking easy to deceive Liu Bei, isn't it?

Your Majesty?Still kind?Seeing the use of this word made Liu Bei laugh out of anger.He, Liu Bei, agrees that the black mountain bandits and the great bandits who have caused disasters in Hebei for many years have never had any intersections.Even at the beginning of the uprising ten years ago, after Liu Bei first got two brothers with excellent martial arts skills, he thought about leading the five hundred Xiangyong with all his wealth at that time to go to Montenegro to fight against the unstable Montenegro at that time. How about the yellow turban breaking his wrists, how can there be any kind words?What about cheating ghosts?He deeply suspected that he was probably Liu Bei who was deceived by some old fat man. At that time, he had the idea of ​​beheading the person and asking Kong Rong for an explanation.

Well!Should have thought of it long ago!This fat old man dared to cheat Lu Bu back then, and if it wasn't for Qin Xu's advance arrangement, he would have almost changed Linzi's hands.If you can't fool Lu Bu, you're co-authoring to fool our old Liu again!Ten thousand war horses, that is ten thousand war horses!Thinking about it, Liu Bei's teeth hurt, so how could he be easily persuaded by Kong Rong and willingly help him?Liu Bei couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, the reason why Liu Bei was able to carry the aura of the three protagonists in the late Han Dynasty to achieve such achievements in history is bound to have his own merits.It is not urgent to ask for an explanation, after all, Kong Rong just sent someone close to him to deliver the letter, and he did not come in person.Even if Liu Bei wanted to vent his anger, he would never lower himself to be as knowledgeable as a servant, would he?If this spread, it would not be worthwhile for Liu Bei, who had a big heart and devoted himself to creating an image of himself as a benevolent Han family member and royal nobleman, to lose his prestige just for the loss of these war horses.

He ordered the black bandits to dispatch the whole army to attack the plain.This is an order written by Liu Bei with a slightly swollen face after shutting himself in the room for a while.

Liu Bei's original intention was that since he decided to deal with the old liar Kong Rong, he naturally couldn't use conventional methods.What Brother Big Ear is best at is speaking upholding righteousness. If there is no righteousness, even if you pull out some righteousness, you must have the ability to speak like this.Even if this matter is so bad that the whole world knows it, and it would be best if even Youzhou kept it a secret, Liu Bei still has to follow the "convention", even if it's just between himself and Kong Rong, he must stand on the moral high ground of.

Liu Bei's handwriting, in his own opinion, is actually a touchstone and a whetstone. It is so tactful, and it can be regarded as repaying Kong Rong's "life-saving grace" outside Beihai City that day.

However, after a few more days of being in a daze, a piece of news came that caused Liu Bei, who had been struggling for the past few days to think about how to respond to Gongsun Zan's inquiries and had a headache, suddenly two gleams shot out of his eyes.Ben was pacing slowly in the inner courtyard, and from time to time, under the caring eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two righteous brothers who have always been inseparable from Liu Bei, Liu Bei, who was in a daze, almost jumped up and down after hearing the report. Zhang Gaolai.

Surprise!What a joy!Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just a "welcome banquet" by the Black Mountain bandits to the forces that are about to toss about in Hebei's territory; Pingyuan, a little loss, wiped out more than a thousand enemies, and retreated!" The news is simply more comfortable than any magic elixir.

But after being overjoyed, Liu Bei suddenly felt distressed.How many?How much is it?Needless to say, the combat power of Lu Bu's army, Cao Cao is not a vegetarian!It is conceivable that what Zhang Yan said about annihilating more than a thousand enemies is too much, and how much the price will be paid!This group of prodigals, they really don't know how expensive they are!
If these [-] cavalry were under his own command, with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu as generals, plus the [-] Youzhou fine cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun who were treated benevolently by old Liu Jiu, [-] cavalry would be in hand. Where can't I go?If there is the Zhen family's wealth that can rival the country's support... Liu Bei really dare not think that if he has reached this point, he will still be afraid of Cao Cao and Lu Bu!
The occurrence of this incident made Kong Rong, who came late a few days later, received an extremely "warm" reception by Liu Bei. Liu Bei even called his famous line "Mr. Bei De" in front of the generals of the army more than once , like a fish in water", gave Kong Rong enough face, exchanged arms with Kong Rong during the day, and slept with Kong Rong at night. It is also in line with Kong Rong's words of following the example of Wang Yun and punishing the country's thieves to revitalize the court and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei's profound skills in manipulating people's hearts can be described as perfect.Coupled with the fact that the two had common "ambitions" and enemies, in just three to five days, Liu Bei made Kong Rong, the direct descendant of the saint family, the head of the Kong family, feel that having such a confidant in his life is enough, almost It's only refreshing if I can't wait to take out my heart.As for Liu Bei's next plans, Kong Rong also raised his hands in approval without even thinking about it.

Kong Rong actually had his own ideas.The reason why Liu Bei was chosen was that he had seen Liu Bei's ambitions as early as in Beihai.It's okay to be ambitious, who called Liu Bei surnamed Liu!How can the clan of the Han Dynasty be called for nothing?No matter how ambitious it is, it is the family affairs of the old Liu family!In the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, it is not uncommon for vassal kings to succeed to the throne.What's more, the current young emperor was established by Dong Zhuo, a national traitor back then, who abandoned the last emperor's will. No matter in reason, or in the perception of Kong Rong, who thought he was a loyal minister of the great Han, this emperor Liu Xie was actually in the legal system. On, it is simply untenable.On the contrary, Kong Rong remembered the performance of Liu Bei, a descendant of the royal family, whom he saw at the meeting against Dong Zhuo, and his two brothers who were worthy of Lu Bu.Therefore, when he was outside Beihai City, Kong Rong urged Liu Bei not to fight recklessly with Lu Bu, and to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity.Now, the time has finally come.

It has to be said that Kong Rong was promoted as Wenkui, and he really had a few brushes.No matter whether it is ruined or ruined, no matter where you go, there are always a few fans.For example, although the Yuan family is hostile, this Yuan Xi, who is now the lord of Jizhou, according to Qin Xu's previous life, is the "fanatic fan" of Kong Beihai, the Wenkui who spread the name of a hero to the world.After Kong Rong and others were "rescued" that day, they went through several twists and turns and disappeared without a trace. In fact, they were nesting in Jizhou. Moreover, the reason why Yuan Xi dared to cooperate with Yuan Tan, the elder brother who suppressed him so hard that he dared not speak out loud In fact, Kong Rong jumped up and down in the battle.

And Kong Rong obviously took Yuan Xi too seriously, and he also took himself too seriously.Seeing that Yuan Xizai and Yuan Shao had some connections because of Yuan Shang's matter, and at the same time, he also wanted to get rid of Cao Cao's remote control, and took the opportunity to get a share of this troubled world. With the help of Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro, he was full of expectations to take the lead, intending to raise troops to "seize power" ", but because of the haste, not only did not meet Kong Rong's expectations, but also exposed the reality of the two states of Bing and Ji, which attracted the attention of Cao Cao and Lu Bu.Kong Rong knew that Yuan Xi was a boy with great ambitions and few talents, his heart was higher than the sky, and his life was thinner than paper.Kong Rong, who was enshrined by Yuan Xi like an old man in Jizhou, immediately had a different thought, and thought of Liu Beilai who had met several times that day.

Compared with Liu Bei, Yuan Xi's ability is simply a scumbag!Kong Rongcai didn't care how much Yuan Xi respected him, how he reached out to help when he was in trouble.Compared with the whole big man, what is this little thing about me?Anyway, his reputation has been ruined, and everyone has betrayed their relatives, so why not borrow Yuan Xi's place in Jizhou as a gift!Anyway, Kong Rong didn't care what Yuan Xi thought of him after he knew the truth.The big deal is when one's own affairs are accomplished, the great man succeeds in ZTE, and when the prosperous Han Dynasty is recreated, it is enough to make up for it.

Kong Rong's friends are all over the world. This is not just a talk, but also proves that Kong Rong's communication skills are commendable.While making plans for Yuan Xi, Kong Rong didn't waste much time talking, but he got in touch with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Bandits, who also had other ideas and didn't want to just be idle and just want to change his employer.

If it was before, with Kong Rong's status, Zhang Yan, a big thief, would never have been able to get into the eyes of Kong Beihai, who is famous all over the world.But after all, the situation is stronger than others. In addition, Zhang Yan, who was far away in Hebei, saw that Cao Cao trapped in the Central Plains was not invincible, and did not expect Cao Cao to escape from the political whirlpool in Xuchang so quickly. It is also necessary to find a reliable ally, which coincides with the plan of Kong Rong, who is looking for "people with lofty ideals" on the united front, in many ways.Therefore, when the eloquent Kong Rongfu opened his mouth, Zhang Yan, who didn't know how to respond, couldn't wait to accept the "good intentions" of this old fat man who couldn't even "do anything" with Cao Cao's "nemesis" Lu Bu, and took the opportunity to say goodbye to him. In this troubled world, share a delicious pie!

A big game of chess, under Kong Rong's interlude and traction, is considered to have a score.Liu Bei, Yuan Xi, and Heishan bandits, these three families have never had any friendly intersection, and it can even be said that they were still in a state of life and death before, but they formed a group because of their coveting of Hebei.

Things were going well!Under the guidance of Kong Rong, although the three families are far from being friends with each other in a short period of time, the consensus with each other, and the hostility to Cao Cao and Lu Bu's army, are very important to Kong Rong's so-called seamless strategy. , fairly well executed.

Convincing Zhen Qian, putting Zhen Jian under house arrest, deliberately releasing Zhen Jiang, and then trapping and killing the general of Lu Bu's army, and moving Lu Bu, the tiger, out of the plain, everything went smoothly.To outsiders, even in Yuan Xi's view, Kong Rong did this only to avenge Liu Bei for being forced to give up Pingyuan.Until Liu Bei and Zhang Yan's army from Heishan marched outside the city of Ye, Yuan Xi even thought that the arrival of Liu Bei's army was arranged by Kong Rong, if Yuan Shang, who had other thoughts because his mother Liu was still in Linzi, found out If there is a clue, maybe Yuan Xi will welcome Liu Bei and Zhang Yan's [-] coalition troops into the city without saying a word.

Liu Bei didn't follow what Kong Rong said to Yuan Xi, and opened the city gate when he saw him. Instead, he was cautious and even uncooperative, which was not too surprising.Kong Rong is an idealist, but Liu Bei is not.Not everyone has such courage, like Liu Bei, who can entrust his wealth and life without deep friendship.Fortunately, looking at Yuan Xi's appearance, he was only suspicious of his own intentions. After all, no matter who it is, when the army is approaching, there will always be some hesitation, which was already expected by Liu Bei.

Besides, even if Yuan Xi didn't know how to flatter him, it didn't matter to Liu Bei now.All the soldiers and horses of Liu Bei's line in Youzhou have been brought here, with Zhao Yun, the former general of the White Horse Yi, as the commander, plus nearly [-] Black Mountain bandit cavalry led by the confidant of Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain, who surrendered to Dusuo, and even In addition, Zhang Yan's [-] Black Mountain infantry are advancing towards Yecheng. It can be said that if Yuan Xizhi praised him, perhaps Liu Bei could still take care of this because of the fact that he and Yuan Shao had jointly attacked Dong Zhuo at the beginning. The son of the "old man" has a few points, otherwise, even if it is taken by force, it will not be a problem.

Liu Bei was not worried that Cao Cao's resentment would be aroused by doing so.Regarding the quarrel between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, who was originally in the Qingzhou sequence, couldn't understand it very well.As long as he doesn't attack Bingzhou, but fights for Jizhou with Lu Bu, Cao Cao is afraid that at most he will wave his flag and shout, and more often he will only be happy to see the success. Liu Bei is still quite confident about this.

Standing outside Yecheng, Liu Bei didn't know how many years he hadn't been this excited.It's like the feeling when I first touched the widow Wang's kang in the east of Daliushu Village when I was young. I haven't felt that feeling for nearly 20 years.I just got the news that Zhang Yan's army is only seventy miles away from here. Liu Bei has always been calm, leaving a face of "good name" that shows no emotion, and finally showed a little bit of irrepressible smile.

"My lord, the second general... the second general!" Liu Bei was looking at the high city wall of Yecheng, imagining that this impregnable city would soon be his own, and even the entire seven counties and more than [-] counties in Jizhou would be his own. When he was in a beautiful scene, suddenly a sentry came from a distance to inspect the horses. Liu Bei remembered that the leader was the soldier of his second brother.

"Yun Chang is back?" Liu Bei asked casually.For his second brother, Liu Bei has a deep understanding of his friendship for more than ten years.Unlike Zhang Fei, the third brother, Guan Yu may be slightly weaker than Zhang Fei in terms of force, but he is a handsome man who can lead an army alone. Hearing the news of the visit, Liu Bei subconsciously ignored the tone of the visitor, and said with a smile: "When you come back, you will be able to fight!" Come back, what else do you need to report between your brothers? Hurry up and ask Yun Chang to come and see you!"

"My lord, the second general...cough cough!" Guan Yu's soldiers looked embarrassed, and looked left and right at Zhao Yun and Yu Du who were beside Liu Bei at this time, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Huh? What's wrong with Yun Chang?" Liu Bei realized that the visitor's expression was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "It's okay, both Zilong and the general are confidantes of a certain person, so it's okay to say something!"

"Nuo..." Seeing Zhao Yun, who was excited because of Liu Bei's words, and Yu Du, who was confused, Guan Yu's soldiers looked bitter, until Liu Bei's eyes were a little impatient, and he said cowardly: " The second general was defeated and returned, and was about to come here to take the blame, but the third general... the third general fell into Lu Bu's army..."

"What... what!!!" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and after asking angrily, he was stunned and couldn't speak.

　I'm really sorry everyone.The child was sick yesterday. When I went to the Children's Hospital for a blood test, I didn't expect them to draw blood from a large needle in the neck. The capillaries around the eye sockets of the painful child were ruptured, the entire eye sockets including the eyelids were purple, and the voice was hoarse from crying. up.Wei Shang spent the whole day and night cuddling the child, feeling very uncomfortable, really not in the mood... Sigh!The number of words owed, let’s make up slowly in the future.This month's full attendance seems hopeless.
