For Liu Jian, his current development in Jizhou is in full swing, whether it is farming or people's livelihood, they are developing in a prosperous direction.
After all, Jizhou's foundation itself is very good. As long as it can take the initiative in the game with local prominent families, it will not be difficult to achieve cross-era development with Jizhou's size.
However, when Liu Jian was governing Jizhou, he was not able to act completely arbitrarily, because there were a few nails next to Jizhou. Although they did not pose a huge threat to him, they also made him feel like he had a lump in his throat and made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't do anything with these nails yet.
One is Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, and the other is Ding Yuan, the cavalry captain stationed in Hanoi.
Liu Jian knew in his heart that these two were chess pieces sent by the Yuan family to be placed next to him in Jizhou.
Being watched all the time was fine for him, but it wasn't very comfortable for Liu Jian either.
After all, no one likes to have so many annoying stalkers next to their own power.
…
…
However, seeing through something without telling it off is the way to be an official.
Liu Bei had just returned to Liu Jian's residence when he saw Yu Ze rushing to report to him that Yuan Ji had visited late at night and was waiting for him in the hall.
"Xuande, you are really good at using soldiers!" Yuan Ji praised with great satisfaction.
Yuan Ji was not angry when he heard this. On the contrary, he was quite pleased because of Liu Bei's "frankness".
When Yuan Ji heard this, he suddenly woke up: "What does Xuande mean...?"
Shi Changshi is already a turtle in a urn, and killing or beheading him is not a matter of words.
As for how to act in the future, it depends on what the situation will be like after Luoyang.
Yuan Ji laughed loudly: "You are very humble. This is the right thing to do."
Yuan Ji was sitting bored in the hall. When he saw Liu Bei entering the main hall, he asked: "Xuande is not resting in the house in the middle of the night, but he is still working around. It is very hard."
"But if Ding and Zhang have different intentions, I will use Dong Zhuo to stop them. No matter what, Yuan will be invincible!"
He clapped his hands heavily and said: "That's right. Ding and Zhang are both under the orders of my Yuan family. If Dong Zhuo dares to act disobediently while there are two of them here, I will punish them with these two."
,"
Liu Bei tidied up his clothes and came to the main hall to meet Yuan Ji.
Liu Bei looked surprised when he heard this.
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said loudly: "Ding Yuan, who is stationed in Hejian, and Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, are closest to Luoyang and are close confidants of the Yuan family. You may wish to ask the general to send them to Luoyang with their troops to eliminate the eunuchs."
, Although Dong Zhuo has a heavy army in Liangzhou, it is impossible to send all the troops here. At most, it is only a few thousand elites. From my point of view, Ding Yuan and Zhang Yi are enough to check and balance Dong Zhuo!"
Seeing Liu Bei still standing at the door of the hall, Yuan Ji said: "This is your home, how can you still have a doorway? Let me, an outsider, sit here alone? Sit down quickly, in front of me, no need to be polite!"
Liu Bei promised Lu Qiang that he would find ways to communicate with him at any time to discuss how to stabilize the situation in the Han Dynasty.
But even if Yuan Ji deliberately concealed it, Liu Bei's wisdom could not guess that the real purpose of the Yuan family's transfer of Dong Zhuo to Beijing was to help him seize power.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
Liu Bei was silent for a while, and then he slowly said: "If the prince can trust Liu Bei, then Liu Bei should try his best. But whether what Bei says is right or not, it is up to the prince to decide for himself."
"How can I make plans for the Lord if I have little intelligence and talent? The Lord really thinks too highly of me!"
But Yuan Ji waved his hand and said: "Xuan De, don't be humble. Since you are De Ran's brother who grew up together, you must have something in common in your daily actions!"
After appeasing Lu Qiang, Liu Bei returned to Liu Jian's mansion.
"Xuande, you also know about my relationship with your brother. In the past, I always asked Deran to help me. I asked Deran to help me with everything big or small. Now that Deran is not in the capital, there is something Yuan has to do.
I have no idea, and after much thought, I decided to come over to negotiate with you."
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "How dare you give me such praise!"
As for whether to kill the eunuch or not, it is just a cover-up.
In addition, Liu Bei also informed Lu Qiang that a storm was coming to Luoyang City, and the foreign vassal guards would march into Luoyang in the near future. He asked Lu Qiang to report illness at home and not to go to the imperial city again. This was the biggest problem for him.
Protect.
These words spoke to Yuan Ji's heart.
Liu Jian's entrustment was very important to Liu Bei.
Later, Yuan Ji briefly described to Liu Bei the story of how his uncle Yuan Wei summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing to kill the eunuchs.
Lu Qiang felt a little reluctant in his heart. He had experienced three dynasties and had experienced great storms, but he had never taken leave to hide at home.
In Luoyang City, Liu Bei finally persuaded Lu Qiang and told him to protect his life and not to do stupid things. Especially at this critical moment, he must stay low and not easily provoke others, let alone act recklessly.
Starting from the beginning.
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, as I see it, the General's Palace has now sent an order to Dong Zhuo to come to the capital. The matter has reached this point, and it is probably difficult to change. However, the only thing that worries you is that Dong Zhuo has something in his hand."
Heavy troops will pose a threat to the capital, but as everyone knows, it is difficult to defeat one person, but it is easy to defeat two people. Dong Zhuo has soldiers and generals in his hands. Is it possible that among the governors and governors of various places, there are no other people with soldiers and generals under their command?"
Although Liu Bei is now one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, he still lives in Liu Jian's house in Luoyang, for no other reason than to protect Liu Jian's wife and children in Beijing at critical moments.
Liu Bei thanked Yuan Ji and then sat across from Yuan Ji.
He had already informed Liu Deran of this matter in a letter. Yuan Ji did not believe that Liu Jian would hide it from Liu Bei, so his words were barely honest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "This is what the Lord said, and it can be said that it goes to the bone."
Yuan Ji sneered: "Then why don't you come to me?"
But then, he felt relieved.
But in the face of Liu Bei's sincere advice, Lu Qiang finally let go of his pride and agreed to Liu Bei's request.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But he alone concealed their true purpose of finding Dong Zhuo in Beijing.
"Don't worry, with Yuan here, no one will touch a hair on your Liu Xuande's head!"
When Liu Bei heard something in Yuan Ji's words, his mind changed slightly and he hurriedly explained: "Don't be surprised, sir. Something big is going to happen in Luoyang City now. Everyone knows about this and everyone is in danger. Be prepared to leave the counties around you."
, I have very few connections in the capital, and if I don’t move around at this time, I am afraid that something big will happen, and disaster will come, but I will have no way to protect myself.”
When Liu Bei heard the news, he felt a little nervous because he couldn't figure out what Yuan Ji's intention was in coming here in the middle of the night.
At this time, Yuan Ji's eyes should not be on their brothers. As he thought correctly, the main reason for Yuan Ji's coming here was for Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing.
"The Lord is involved in the overall situation of Luoyang and has a huge stake. How can he have time to worry about Liu Bei? Bei just doesn't want to cause trouble to the Lord."
"No, Yuan got it right. You are a capable person with great strategies. From today on, Yuan will help you. Hahaha, God has treated me well. Although De is not in the capital, there are still
It is indeed a great blessing for Yuan to have Liu Xuande as his assistant!"
But in fact, Liu Bei didn't think that much at the moment. Yuan Ji just asked him about it. He thought why not take this opportunity to transfer Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan, who were responsible for monitoring Liu Jian in Bingzhou and Hanoi, to the capital.
It can be regarded as removing two nails for Deran around Jizhou.
After all, Liu Jian had mentioned this matter to Liu Bei in letters before.
Liu Bei was generally very concerned about the things Liu Jian mentioned.
