Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1504 Excluded

Liu Qi returned to the Xingyuan in Anhan, first took the hot towel handed over by the maid at the side, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, then threw the face towel into the copper basin, turned to ask Kuai Qi, "What is this?" The matter really has nothing to do with that black face?"

Although Liu Qi and Liu Bei have some problems with the distribution of interests, they still have the same interest orientation on some issues. Therefore, at this stage, Liu Qi cannot use this matter to suppress Liu Bei. Instead, he wants to protect Liu Bei, or It is Zhang Fei's reputation, because Liu Qi also knows that protecting Liu Bei and Zhang Fei is actually protecting his own reputation.

   At this point, although Liu Qi is not very smart, he is not so stupid.

  But defending it in front of outsiders does not mean that Liu Qi has no doubts in his heart.

   After all, there is nothing wrong with a hole, and there is no wave without wind. If Zhang Fei hadn't done this, why would the blame be directed at Zhang Fei instead of someone else?

Kuai Qi lowered her head, pretending that she didn't see the charming and sad eyes of the beautiful maidservant just now, and then watched Yingying's skirt disappear from the corner of her eyes, and said to Liu Qi in a low voice: "Captain Zhang shouldn't be like this... "General Zhang Fei is a respectful name. In fact, Zhang Fei's rank is a school lieutenant, a miscellaneous name.

  Liu Qi was silent for a moment, nodded, and breathed out: "It's fine if it's not him...but who should it be? Mencius?"

Inside and outside Anhan City, there are no more than two parties with military power, one is from Liu Qi's side, and the other is from Chuanshu Mengda's side. The only possibility is that Mengda did it here...

   "Someone is also a little suspicious..." Kuai Qi nodded slightly, then frowned, "But judging by Mencius's expression... it doesn't seem like..."

   Liu Qi scratched his head in annoyance, and said, "Who the **** is that!"

   Kuai Qi smiled and said: "Young Master, why should you care who it is...Even if Captain Zhang didn't do it this time, Liu Xuande can't escape if he is not strict... Why don't you, Young Master..."

  Liu Qi was stunned, laughed loudly, and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

  Liu Qi stood up, walked to the front of the hall, and said loudly: "Come here! Order Liu Xuande to cooperate with Meng Lingjun to thoroughly investigate the matter of Leijiazhai! The military camp outside the city will be handled by Kuai Gongtai for the time being!"

   Kuai Qi stood aside and took orders.

  ………………

  When Liu Bei returned to his camp, it was already in the middle of the bright moon. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came out together, looking at Liu Bei with some concern.

   "It's okay! It's okay!" Liu Bei laughed, jumped off the horse, shook his legs, and mobilized his blood. He patted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's shoulders one after another, and walked towards the middle of the camp. "This is a trivial matter, and there is no need to worry about it."

   Zhang Fei followed behind Liu Bei with a wheezing voice, and after entering the big tent, he couldn't help it, and said in a low voice, "Brother! This is too bullying!"

  Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, but the expression on his face showed everything.

Liu Bei sat down and shook his legs. Although his face was trying to hide it, he couldn't hide the fatigue of his body and legs. After running up and down the mountain for a day, even a young man might not be able to bear it, let alone It is said that Liu Bei is a middle-aged person.

  In this year, there is no criminal investigation at all, and naturally there is no so-called detection. Liu Bei followed the Sichuan and Shu officials sent by Meng Da, wandering around Leijiazhai for a day, but found nothing. In other words, even if there are some imprints, they may not be able to find them.

  But who did this thing?

  Liu Bei was also very puzzled, but after thinking for a while, he put the question behind him for the time being and asked, "What did Gongtai...do in the camp these two days?"

"Yesterday, Gongtai came to take the account of the camp, and calculated it for a day..." Guan Yu said from the side, "Today, I called the Marquis Quchang, the big and small army, and talked one by one... Huh... But there is nothing in the words. If there is anything wrong, just say something about being loyal to the Liu family..."

  Zhang Fei slapped his thigh, and said with some annoyance: "It's all my fault! Big brother and second brother are hurt!"

   "Hey!" Liu Bei said, "They are all brothers of our own family, so why don't we complain... Can Gongtai take over military affairs?"

  Guan Yu shook his head silently, and said, "That's not true..."

Liu Bei smiled, the smile was still bright, but there was an indescribable brilliance flowing through his eyes, "Isn't that all it is... It's just a knock on me, and it will be gone in two days...Second brother and third brother, Just be patient, just be patient..." Kuai Qi represented Liu Qi's attitude, and why did Liu Qi come to beat him? Wasn't it because Liu Bei's food was too ugly in the early stage?

   One peck and one drink, it's God's will.

   There is no other way. Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is like a person who has been hungry for three years and suddenly sees delicious food. Can he bear it? After swallowing it in the stomach, I realized that there was Liu Qi behind me, and I wanted to do something to make up for it. On the one hand, Liu Bei was not as rogue as Liu Bang, and on the other hand, Liu Bei was reluctant to swallow these things in his stomach. In this way, Such an attitude and demeanor, even though Liu Qi had a narrow mind and didn't notice it, but Kuai Qi, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, could pretend not to see it?

   After all, Kuai Qi came here with Liu Qi just to protect Liu Qi's interests. If he didn't say anything, wouldn't he have completely failed his mission? Therefore, for these things that violate Kuai Qi's morality as Liu Qi's retainer, it is reasonable for Kuai Qi to offer advice and suggestions to beat and restrict Liu Bei.

  Whether it is Liu Bei or Kuai Qi, they will not go too far, they are all within the limit. Liu Bei asked Kuai Qi if she had intervened in military affairs, and that was the case.

   "Alas..." Liu Bei looked up at the moon and let out a long sigh.

   This is the obvious thing. Kuai Qi doesn't ask about military affairs, but only checks the money and food accounts, which means that people like Liu Bei don't want to interfere with the logistics of money and food. Just focus on fighting, and leave money and food to Liu Qi.

   This is also a common control method for generals who lead the army abroad, just like Liu Bei was in Xinye back then, isn’t it the same, Liu Biao always sent some money, food and equipment...

  If it’s an ordinary general, it’s fine, but the question is, did Liu Bei come to Sichuan and Shu just to get from Xinye, which is controlled and relied on by others, to Sichuan and Shu, which is also controlled and relied on by others?

  Of course not, so what should we do?

   After being silent for a long time, Liu Bei sighed, waved to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said, "Tomorrow, it might as well be like this, like this..."

  ………………

   For many people, Liu Zhang actually knew from the very beginning that he was not a genius, nor a wise leader.

  Liu Zhang is a person with soft ears and is easy to trust others, but in the same way, if he is easy to be moved by a few words, he can also be moved by other people's words. Therefore, in Liu Zhang's case, it is common for him to change his order from day to day. Therefore, the evaluation of Liu Zhang in history later, the so-called grammatical restraint, mutual support, no virtue in government, and no punishment. The people of Shu soil are full of power and self-discipline, and the way of monarchs and ministers is gradually replaced by mausoleums; favors are based on positions, extreme positions are low, obedience is kindness, and grace is exhausted, slowness and other words, etc., can already be regarded as very pertinent.

When Liu Yan entered Shu, Emperor Han Ling was still alive, and Emperor Han Ling didn't look at how stupid the history books said, but the control of these big officials in the frontiers was still not relaxed, so Liu Zhang and others were left behind. Luo Yang acted as a hostage, but since he was a hostage, it was impossible for him to have any practical work. He was simply raised by a captain of the car, so Liu Zhang lacked the military experience of going out with his father like Sun Ce and Cao Pi. , and without Yuan Tan’s experience in guarding a county in Jizhou, it is natural to be in a hurry to rule the entire Sichuan and Shu at once, which makes the people under Liu Zhang inevitably have various thoughts in their hearts.

  Before Liu Yan entered Shu, Yizhou was not a quiet place. The former governors Liu Jun and Xi Jian were both greedy and indiscriminate, making Yuan Yuan boring and wild. Also, there were also people from Liangzhou who entered Sichuan at that time, destroyed the three counties, and claimed to be the emperor. Liu Yan was forced to dare not enter Chengdu, and was planning to move to Mianzhu...

  After entering Sichuan and Sichuan, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Liu Yan was very ruthless and killed more than a dozen powerful people in the state. These powerful people may have deserved what they deserved, but after many years of marriage, how can they be cut off all at once? Therefore, some resentment or something is inevitable. The root cause of the discord between the Dongzhou people and the Sichuan and Shu people is actually one of the important legacies Liu Yan left to Liu Zhang.

In addition, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are religious and ethnic turmoil, such as the bandits in women's clothing in Bajun during Emperor Shun, Fuzhi in Bajun proclaimed himself the king of heaven during Emperor Chong, Li Bo of Shujun proclaimed himself emperor during Emperor Huan, etc., all show that Sichuan and Shu are relative Closed, the local people have a strong sense of avoiding disasters and local concepts, and they are very resistant to foreign regimes with "shady plots and different plans". Human beings are still abiding by reserve, not cooperating, or cooperating to a limited extent.

  If Liu Zhangxiong is talented and cunning, like Zhuge Liang, he fights and pulls, and even raises knives and guns when he gives the way, maybe he can become a foundation, but only because of his soft ears and kind personality...

   Naturally, he couldn't blame the many advisers under him, each seeking his own way out.

  Pang Xi's big camp stretched so long that almost all of it was occupied within a radius of five miles, and it was magnificent.

Liu Yan passed away, and Pang Xi was not too young, so he naturally had to think about his next generation. As a counselor, Pang Xi naturally couldn't follow Liu Yan's old path completely, so in matters of cronies , When it's time to win over and compromise, it's still better to win over and compromise.

  Pang Xi was naturally worried about leaving the political center of Chengdu this time, but he had to personally take charge of the front-line defense and military affairs. Therefore, the remote control of Chengdu was completed with the help of Fei Shi, Li Hui and others.

Fei Shi and Li Hui are from Sichuan and Shu, but not all Sichuan and Shu people can be reused by Liu Zhangde, and not all Sichuan and Shu people are equal, just like Fei Shi and Li Hui, literature, people's livelihood, political affairs, and military affairs are all important. It's not too bad, but there has been no good place to go.

  Fei Shi is pretty good, Mianzhu County Magistrate.

   Listening to the place name is not bad, right?

  That’s right. When Liu Yan led Yizhou back then, he planned to move the state government to Mianzhu. It can be seen that Mianzhu was considered a good place, but why did it fall into Fei Shi’s hands?

  It’s very simple, because a few years ago, a fire broke out in Mianzhu suddenly, and there are many bamboos in Sichuan and Sichuan. The fire burned for three days, and it also burned Mianzhu into a piece of white ground, and it has not recovered to three points of its original appearance...

   The moisture content of Fei Shi's Mianzhu Ling can be imagined naturally.

   Li Hui is even more so. As a native of Jianning, he was originally regarded as a country bumpkin by the people around Chengdu, so being excluded has naturally become a common occurrence.

  Pang Xi naturally won over this group of people from Sichuan and Shu who had been pushed to the edge this time, and then promised benefits to make them his own. Fei Shi and Li Hui were also looking forward to being able to make a comeback, so they hit it off and took what they needed.

   "I don't know where An Han is, how is it now?" Pang Xi said slowly.

  Li Huigong cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Pang Gong, but please rest assured, everything has been done, there is absolutely no mistake..."

Pang Xi nodded and said: "The opportunity of Sichuan and Shu falls on Liu Xuande alone. The rest are mediocre and unable to fight. With Liu Xuande's help, you and I can sleep in peace... This time, if we go forward publicly, if it can be done." , I don’t waste my thoughts... When the sampan is wandering, there is a sense of loyalty... Zhang Langzhong died at the foot of the city, his loyalty was unparalleled, and a certain one has already listed his son as the Captain of Polu to honor his merits. And Lei Nanchong turned to the enemy, he should be punished by the nine clans! This is only a small punishment, and the rest of the crime is another matter!"

  Li Huide twitched his eyebrows, and said in agreement: "What Pang Gong said is very true."

   "Peng Yongnian is in Chengdu, is there anything unusual?" Pang Xi asked.

  Li Hui cupped his hands and reported back: "Nothing abnormal."

Pang Xi sneered, and said: "In the past, Peng Yongnian was disrespectful and reckless, and he was punished with pliers. Although he has been pardoned, he must have grievances in his heart. Now Qin Zishe...huh, these two people have been in contact for a long time. , Deang returns to Chengdu this time, he needs to pay more attention..."

  Li Hui rolled his eyes, and said: "Pang Gong means that the two of them... should cooperate with each other?"

   "Peng is the surname of Guanghan..." Pang Xi stroked his beard and said, "Now that Guanghan has fallen into the hands of Zhengxi...we have to guard against it..."

  Li Hui frowned and said: "So, when I arrive in Chengdu, I will report to my lord to capture this person to avoid future troubles!"

  Pang Xi shook his head, showing some intriguing smiles: "No."

  Li Hui was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and tentatively said: "Pang Gong's intention is..."

"De'ang is going to Chengdu. He needs to train his troops diligently and rectify military affairs. He can't slack off for a day!" Pang Xi didn't give any explanation, but changed the subject directly. De'ang, the public is loyal and loyal, and has the courage to do things... If this thing is done, it will be enough to serve as a party to herd the people... You should also be diligent, and don't disappoint the lord's high expectations..."

  Li Hui stood up and cupped his hands: "Huizi should live up to the great trust of the lord! I will also live up to the kindness of Pang Gong's recommendation!"

  Pang Xi got up with a smile, and then personally sent Li Hui and his party out of the camp, and got on the horse together, and after they had traveled two or three miles slowly, they parted ways.

  After walking a few miles, Li Hui looked back, with a complicated and unspeakable look on his face, which finally turned into a cold smile. Although Pang Xi seems to be very polite now, when he was excluded back then, there was no Pang Xi behind the scenes to help? Looking at the proficient way that Pang Xi has shown Liu Bei to suppress first and then win over, it may be able to prove something...

  Li Hui's eyes flickered, no matter what, the current situation is just that everyone gets what they need!
