Chapter 113 A famous teacher

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao had doubts about the fact that Liu Yi and Yang Yi were killed in Donglai and the Liaodong army was defeated.

But it was just doubt, and he did not think Liu Bei had posed a serious threat to him.

Especially not long ago, Liu Bei handed over the Qingzhou Muyin Shou given by the imperial court to Yuan Tan. This made Yuan Shao feel more at ease with Liu Bei, so he didn't think much about it.

However, the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.

"General, Liu Bei should not have been allowed to gain access to Beihai before, but now he is feeding a tiger into trouble. Liu Bei should be killed as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles forever!"

When Yuan Tan agreed to move Liu Bei to Beihai Prime Minister, Zhizhong Shenpei strongly opposed it, but the objection was invalid at that time. Yuan Shao said that since Qingzhou was handed over to his son, he would handle it himself.

Now Taishi Ci and Guan Yu successively killed Yang Yi and Liu Yi in Donglai, defeated the Liaodong soldiers, and became famous, making Shenpei increasingly worried.

Tian Feng then said: "I agree with the intention of the trial. Liu Bei has obtained the two counties of Donglai and Beihai. He has recently recruited 3,000 soldiers in Donglai. He has over 10,000 soldiers and horses. He also has Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Brave generals such as Taishi Ci and others are available, and Zhou Xing is planning for them, and Liu Bei has won the hearts of the people. General, if it continues to develop, Liu Bei will definitely seize Qingzhou, and even come to seize Jizhou, so we must get rid of him early!"

"Capture Jizhou?" Guo Tu immediately sneered, "With Liu Bei's 10,000 troops, can Jizhou be captured? Do you think the general cannot defend Jizhou? Or do you want to say that the eldest son cannot defend Qingzhou?"

"Liu Bei's 10,000 soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to capture Qingzhou, let alone Jizhou. However, Zang Ba of Taishan was recommended by Liu Bei as Langya Prime Minister. Now he is of the same mind as Liu Bei. The three counties are connected, and the soldiers and horses are connected. His power is not small. If any

Let them develop and grow. In the future, they will have tens of thousands of troops and abundant food and grass. Then they will join forces with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou to attack. We will be attacked on both sides. How should we deal with it?"

Shen Pei argued loudly and continued: "We should take advantage of Liu Bei's weak strength to send troops to attack and annihilate him. Only in this way can there be no danger!"

"I wonder under what name do you want to send troops to attack Liu Bei during the trial?" Guo Tu asked with a sneer.

"Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan once studied with Lu Gong at the same time, and Liu Bei was used by Gongsun Zan and became our enemy. So we said that he colluded with Gongsun Zan and intended to seize the state, so he sent troops to attack."

"Liu Bei was previously willing to hand over the Qingzhou Mu Seal given by the imperial court, as well as the Zuo General Seal and the Mouping Marquis Seal. Now if he says that he intends to seize the state, will anyone believe him? The reputation of the general's prestige is well-known throughout the country. If he does it for no reason,

If we attack, I'm afraid it will cause criticism from the people of the world. Although Liu Bei is destroyed, he will lose the hearts of the people. Isn't this a small gain at the expense of a big gain?"

Guo Tu didn't want to speak for Liu Bei, he just wanted to keep the initiative in Yuan Tan's hands.

Yuan Tan is the shepherd of Qingzhou, and the affairs of Qingzhou must be left to him. It is also up to him to decide whether Liu Bei should be destroyed or not.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone with a normal expression. He felt that what Shen Pei and Guo Tu said were both reasonable. At this time, he didn't know which side he should agree with.

"Yuan Tu, what do you mean?"

Yuan Shao couldn't decide, so he had to look at Feng Ji and ask.

Feng Ji followed him from Luoyang to Jizhou. He was his old subordinate and a staff member he trusted very much.

"General Ming," Feng Ji said respectfully, "Gongsundu of Liaodong sent troops twice to capture Donglai, but both times he returned defeated. This time, he lost two generals and nearly half of his troops. Liu Bei's troops and horses

Although they are few, their generals are brave. The "black-faced general" Zhang Fei and the "red-faced general" Guan Yu are famous. Although the military advisor Zhou Xing is young, he is quite resourceful.

"Liu Bei had these brave generals and wise men to help him. Since arriving in Qingzhou, the number of soldiers and horses has gradually increased. From more than a thousand people when he first arrived, it has grown to tens of thousands now. He also wiped out the yellow turban bandits in the county, treated the people with lenient treatment, and won the hearts of the people. It can be seen that

His ambition is not that of Xiao Ji. It is the same as that of Juzhi. He believes that Liu Bei should be destroyed to avoid future troubles!"

As soon as Feng Ji finished speaking, Shen Pei cast a grateful look.

Normally the two were at odds with each other, but at this time Fengji rarely held the same views as Shenpei and expressed his support, which made the latter feel grateful to him.

Feng Ji was from Nanyang, Jingzhou, and did not belong to the Yingchuan sect or the Jizhou sect, so he did not lean towards any particular side. In many cases, he still had to look at issues from Yuan Shao's perspective.

Guo Tu was different. Even if he and Shenpei believed that Liu Bei was a hidden danger, he would still oppose it because Shenpei supported him.

Of course, what he objected to was not the result, but the process, the process of how to deal with Liu Bei.

"Ziyuan, where are you?"

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, then looked at Xu You and asked.

Xu You twirled his beard, smiled softly, and said: "General Ming, what Guo Gongze and Shenzhi said are all right. Liu Bei is indeed planning to develop. He first requires people to have land, and then he will have soldiers and food. If you wait for him

With more troops and sufficient food, and with brave generals and wise men to support him, he will come to compete with the general for the land of Qingzhou and Jizhou. Therefore, you think that Liu Bei should be destroyed.

"However, not long after Liu Bei handed over the Qingzhou Muyin Seal, and he had not done anything out of the ordinary, everyone in the world thought that Liu Bei had surrendered to the Ming general. Therefore, if you want to attack Liu Bei, you must be well-known and cannot attack at will. If you do so casually,

If we go on an expedition, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger and chaos will arise instead.”

What Xu You said seemed to agree with both sides, but in fact he still favored Guo Tu and opposed the proposal of trial matching.

"We should have a famous teacher before we can convince the public!" Jushou continued.

By now, everyone basically agrees that Liu Bei is a threat and a hidden danger. Now it is just a matter of how to deal with Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao listened to everyone's opinions and said with some relief: "Well, what you all said makes sense. Since Liu Xuande arrived in Qingzhou, his military strength has indeed become stronger. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are very brave, and Zhou Xing is even more wise.

It was this person who moved Tan'er to Beihai, and it was this person who went to Langya to marry Sun Guan's sister, and became friendly with Zang Ba and others in Taishan. Now Zang Ba and Liu Xuande are connected to each other. If they are allowed to become more powerful, it will be really difficult to control them. Only

However, if we are going to send out troops to attack, we should indeed do so with a name, and we should not attack without reason. Can you tell me, under what name should we use our name?"

Guo Tu hurriedly responded: "General, what the eldest son said is a good strategy. Liu Bei now owns the two counties of Donglai and Beihai, but he has not paid money, grain, and taxes to the state. He can be ordered to pay 2 million yuan and 50,000 shi to the state."

If he is unwilling to pay for the food, we can send troops to challenge him."

This was Yuan Tan's plan to ask Liu Bei to hand over two million yuan and fifty thousand stones of food. As long as Liu Bei had any ambition, he would not be willing to hand over these money and food.

What Guo Tu was arguing about just now was actually to let Yuan Tan make the decision in Qingzhou and do what he wanted, showing his authority as the shepherd of Qingzhou.

"That's true. As I expected, Liu Bei will not pay money and food to the state." Feng Ji said.

Xu You didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

Neither Shenpei nor Tian Feng spoke, neither expressed agreement nor objection.

Yuan Shao inspected everyone and saw that no one had any objections. He also felt that it was a good thing to do. This could tell whether Liu Bei had different intentions.

"Then let Liu Bei hand over two million yuan and fifty thousand stone grain."

Yuan Shao immediately sent people to Qingzhou to agree to Yuan Tan's proposal.
