Chapter 4 Going alone to the world and not returning alone (continue to thank Baiyin Dameng Jiangnan
Liu Xuande's attitude of almost riding through the level alone can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.
At this moment, the so-called game between various forces in Xuzhou and the unrealistic designs of some young scholars all seemed... well, childish and ridiculous in front of him.
For example, the one who rushed to the front to pay homage was actually Cao Hong, who had been most malicious to Liu Bei when discussing the current situation in Xuzhou.
This close minister of Tao Qian, who was known as the slanderous villain, was naturally opposed to Mi Zhu on Tao Qian's side, so what he wanted most was for his neighboring clan Cao Cao to take over. He also declared that he would rather General Wei take over Xuzhou than
Liu Bei, the brother-in-law of his mortal enemy Mi Zhu, is here.
For another example, Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong, who was probably the most eager for Liu Bei in Xiapi City, felt a little exhausted when he saw Liu Xuande at this time... After all, in order to allow Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou smoothly, he had been constantly in Xiapi City.
He cultivated and praised Liu Bei's virtues, made promises to those who gave him money, and at the same time dispatched Pengcheng soldiers and horses to the border of Xuzhou to stop Cao Cao.
As a result, Liu Bei was almost alone here, as if he had reached an agreement directly with Tao Qian, making all his previous efforts and caution seem so vulgar and even ridiculous!
However, the most ridiculous thing is Chen Deng and Xu Shu...the former is heroic and self-willed; the latter's position is chaotic and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy; and then, both of them are limited by their age and vision, but they actually think they can control the world.
A hero is nothing but a great deed!
Think about it. Historically, Chen Deng and Sun Shiwan gradually grew up together after arriving in Guangling. At this time, the relationship between the two had not yet begun. Even with Liu Bei's current attitude of overwhelming Jianghuai, Sun Ce dared to let himself
It's a waste of time for me to show my head here.
As for Xu Shu, he was in another time and space, but he traveled in Jingzhou and the Central Plains, and did not show up until he was in his thirties. He became an important assistant to Liu Bei at a certain time... But what about this time?
Probably because the plum rain itself is nostalgic for the world, this last tail looks particularly ferocious. There are dark clouds above Xiapi City, lightning and thunder, and then the rain keeps washing over the entire Xiapi City. But it has to be said that inside the hall,
The hot atmosphere and the pouring weather outside the hall perfectly covered the shame of many people, including Xu Shu and Chen Deng.
After everyone had finished greeting Liu Bei, they managed to regain their balance inside and outside the chaotic hall. Another maid came out and lit a candle to give it a little light. Another attendant brought a Taiwei chair for Liu Bei to sit down on Tao Qian's side.
The position and order were re-established.
"Everyone," Tao Qian saw that the situation was like this and was too lazy to say anything. He just pointed his finger. "I am old and decrepit. I have been seriously ill a while ago. Even if the medical fairy is here, I can only cure it for a while.
It has been difficult for a long time, so there was the intention to return the Xuzhou Muyin Ribbon to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an before, but the things in Xuzhou are complicated and you have not allowed it. But now that General Anbei and Liu Yuzhou are here, he is not only recognized by the world
He is a heroic figure, and he is also my niece-in-law, who is considered a reliable person. If I give the two seals and ribbons to him for safekeeping, wouldn’t it be possible for me to return to Danyang Township and die of old age, or to return to my roots with the withered leaves...
What do you think of waiting? If you have any doubts, just come out."
The audience was speechless for a moment, and then there was a person in the forefront who came out directly to the expectations of many people.
"Master Zhao, tell me!" Seeing that it was Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, who was a rare upright official in the state, Tao Qian paid more attention to him.
"Liu Yuzhou." Zhao Yu first bowed slightly to Liu Bei and saluted, and then asked. "I have taken over Xuzhou. I have no objection. I just dare to ask Liu Yuzhou, in your haste to come here, do you have any strategies to stabilize Xuzhou?"
"I have to ask Mr. Zhao first." Liu Bei had no expression on his face. He just bowed slightly in the seat and answered calmly. "Xuzhou has always been famous for its stability, so what kind of troubles do I need to calm down?"
"It has always been stable, but once things like handover are involved, people's hearts will be in chaos, so how can it continue to be stable?" Zhao Yu said sincerely. "And not just from the inside, from the outside, the current situation is still biased.
It’s chaotic, is Liu Yuzhou really not prepared at all?”
Hearing this, Liu Bei was finally moved, but he obviously smiled, which was in stark contrast to Guo Jiapo, who was standing not far in front of him and was smiling all the time.
"Liu Yuzhou...is there anything ridiculous in what I said?" Zhao Yu asked sincerely.
"There is nothing ridiculous." Liu Bei immediately replied with a smile. "And Mr. Zhao can think of this, and he is indeed loyal and upright. But I also want to ask Mr. Zhao... chaos inside and outside, the source of chaos inside Xuzhou
How could it have been revealed if I hadn't gone through what happened today? If it hadn't been revealed, how could I have calmed down the chaos? As for the external chaos, even if Mr. Zhao Fu didn't tell me, how could I not do my best if I came from outside?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhao Yu was speechless for a moment.
Liu Bei, however, was not in a hurry, and confessed frankly to many Xuzhou civil and military officials in the hall: "Everyone, I had already communicated with my sworn brother Cao Fenwu when I came here. This time I and Yide are riding here together. He is actually
I have known it for a long time. Not only that, Brother Meng De has been staying at the border of Pengcheng because of the invitation written by me, so he came here specifically to stabilize the situation for me... And I don't want to hide it from you.
Yinshou, after this incident, I plan to hand over Langya, Pengcheng, and the five counties north of Yishui in Donghai County to Brother Meng De... After all, the bandits in Taishan have always been repeated, and Brother Meng De is good at martial arts, so please ask him
It is only right to coordinate the war on the northern front in a unified manner."
Many people in the hall were blushing as if they had been slapped again.
After waiting for a while, Cao Hong, who led Pi Ling, was the first to jump out and bowed and praised: "As long as Cao Fenwu and Liu Yuzhou are of one heart and one mind, the Central Plains will be one, and the Central Plains will be one, how can there be chaos in Xuzhou?
This is really great.”
The rest of the people also followed suit and complimented him again.
However, when the hall became quiet for a while, Liu Bei smiled again: "Cao Jun's words are actually inappropriate, but they are just inappropriate... For example, if the Central Plains is one, wouldn't Hebei be the same as it? I can only guess.
, My brother Gongsun Wenqi is also a hero who takes the stability of the world as his own duty, but he may not care too much about the situation in Xuzhou... Wang Pushe, my brother is the general of the Wei, and he will be in charge of the government before the emperor takes office, and you are holding the position today.
At this point, doesn’t my brother have any will for you?"
Wang Lang sighed, but held his hands in front of him, and said solemnly: "General Wei has an order. If this trip coincides with General Anbei, there are two official orders printed by the Shangshutai for General Anbei and General Anton."
Liu Bei immediately solemnly stood up and bowed in obeisance. He was so surprised that everyone in the hall bowed down to follow him. Tao Qian was the only one who tried to get up, but was blocked by the young deputy historian who was following Wang Lang, Guo Jia.
He stopped him in public, saying that General Wei had something to say. Mr. Tao was old, so he should make a special exception and not worship, but sit down and listen to the order.
The decree is simple and direct...accept Liu Bei's seal of General Anbei, add General Zuo, and still lead Yuzhou as a pastor; receive Tao Qian's seal of General Anton, and seal Xuzhou's pastoral care, and return with great honor as an old man. Special case for veteran ministers. As a gift to Taizhong doctor, he will be given the rank of Ten Thousand Stones.
Salary, plus the seal and ribbon of the former general.
Everyone in Xuzhou, including Chen Deng and Xu Shu outside the door, felt that their minds were confused at this time, and they even felt that all their previous thoughts and gestures were too ridiculous... Why didn't they understand at this time? When people like themselves are controlled by stakes
, limited by their vision and position, Gongsun Xun, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei had actually already had their own level of understanding and tacit understanding of Xuzhou's ownership.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to join hands to fight against Hebei, so how can the two of them fight? According to Liu Bei's political stance of always being unwilling to confront Gongsun Xun head-on, it seems reasonable for Cao Cao, as the leader of the alliance, to take over the northern front and command the front.
things.
As for General Wei Gongsun Xun, from Gongsun Xun's perspective, his top priority at this time should be Chang'an, because the emperor's affairs are the only major events that may shake the foundation of his rule. As for Xuzhou... It's not that Xuzhou is not important, but he
They knew very well that Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao were the three founders of the Central Plains Alliance, and they were related to each other. They had probably communicated with each other for a long time. From the perspective of Hebei, this matter was basically the Central Plains Alliance.
It’s just a peaceful handover within the alliance!
It's not that you can't intervene, but there really isn't much room for intervention from Tao Qian and Xiapi!
However, Xuzhou is too important after all. Whether from the perspective of Hebei or from the perspective of Bingguo's governance, it always needs to improve its presence.
In fact, Wang Langhe had several different intentions hidden in his body. They were all authentic copies produced by Shangshutai, but their contents were different. They were all based on the meaning of the dish... As for Guo Jia, Liu Bei's smile was obvious when he saw him before.
, on the one hand, there were other reasons, and on the other hand, it was because Liu Bei's appearance did not exceed the expectations of those in Yecheng.
Back in front of them, after Liu Bei and Tao Qian thanked the emperor and the ruling General Wei, Tao Qian was already satisfied and had no other thoughts. He just wanted to go home and wait for death in peace, but Liu Bei couldn't help but approached Wang Lang and Guo Qian.
Jia, and then asked a few more questions... But he also asked how his brother Gongsun Wenqi was doing. Had Mrs. Gongsun received the green plum wine brought back by his entrustment? She even asked a few questions about Gongsun Xun's children.
Will his eldest daughter Gongsunli get her haircut next year or the year after?
The demeanor of these big shots made many people in the hall feel fascinated after seeing and hearing about it... It also made Chen Deng and Xu Shu feel even more ashamed.
"Actually, everything else about General Wei is going well these days. It's just that there was a sudden earthquake in Hebei last month and he was a little busy." Wang Lang was an honest man and couldn't help but answer seriously.
"Didn't those rotten scholars say anything about the earthquake?" Liu Bei said sternly. "How did my brother deal with it? I remember that when he was a boy, he was disgusted with these things that attributed celestial phenomena to humans."
"That's true." Wang Lang confessed frankly. "After the earthquake, General Wei issued an announcement saying that this kind of thing is the normal state of heaven and earth, and that man can conquer heaven and try his best to restore production... Then there was inevitably controversy in the university, and there were even letters from great scholars.
General Wei asked him to stop building the Bronze Bird Tower in Zhangshui, and even Cai Bojie, Cai Gong, who moved to the university to teach last year, personally went to persuade him."
"Then how did my brother deal with it?" Liu Bei became increasingly curious.
"Ignore it." Wang Lang smiled bitterly for a moment. "The Tongque Tower didn't stop either..."
Liu Bei was confused when he heard this.
Seeing the expression of the new left general Liu Xuande, a person next to him immediately put his hands together and sneered: "General Wei is known as a courteous and virtuous corporal. He corrects his mistakes when he knows them. He is also simple and virtuous. But now he is building a lot of construction projects while blocking the way of speech. How can he be wise? And the gods and humans are sensitive.
The theory is Confucianism's right way. General Wei is the governor of Hebei, but the earthquake happened in Hebei. Doesn't this mean that God's will is evil?"
Liu Bei frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.
"Even in terms of the telepathy between heaven and man, this is also a fallacy!" At this moment, a man suddenly stepped forward with his sword in hand, and shouted loudly in front of Wang Lang.
Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were introduced when they came in before noon.
"What nonsense?!" Cao Hong glanced at Liu Bei secretly, and saw that Liu Bei also looked curious, and then faced him head-on. "I would like to hear your opinion!"
"First, since the Huan Ling Rebellion, the country has overturned, the world has collapsed, and all four dimensions have dispersed. In terms of the reactions of heaven and man, the world was truly in chaos at that time! War, famine, rebellion, plague, earthquake, flood...
Will there be fewer of these things? It is just that the connection between war and disaster is too obvious, and it is difficult for people to survive in it, so who would care about and record any disasters and disasters? These visions and disasters can only disappear in the chaos of the troubled times and end up like this.
No one is watching, no one is looking after, no one is asking!" Guo Jia came forward to the hall and stood in front of Tao Qian. Then he turned around, looked around, and answered generously. "And General Wei has been in charge of the country's affairs for these years, making the world famous.
Complete chaos. As for today's earthquake, it has been noticed by others. Is it an achievement or a crime? Don't the gentlemen of Xuzhou really understand? If there are really so-called honest people among you, how can you ask such ridiculous things?
!”
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and even Liu Bei nodded slowly after taking a deep breath: "In the past, Dong Zhuo's chaos was inside, and the forty princes were divided outside. As for the world taking a breather today, it is indeed my brother's contribution.
...In other words, to pacify the world and bring peace to the people, this is my brother's contribution to the world."
Guo Jia suddenly smiled when he heard this, but did not look at Liu Bei. He just stared at the many Xuzhou people in the hall and continued: "And the second thing is that everyone has written to General Wei to advise him, so what? As the saying goes, '
If the country is dirty, he is the master of the country; if the country is unknown, he is the king of the world. If there is an earthquake, don't blame General Zuo, General Fenwu, General Annan (Liu Biao), and General Anxi (Liu Yan).
Blame Taiwei Liu Gong, Sikong Yang Gong (Yang Biao), Situ Huangfu Gong (Huangfu Song), and only blame General Wei. Isn't this because everyone in the world knows that it is General Wei who has really kept the world running these years?!"
Thunder was rolling outside the door, and the hall was as silent as cicadas. Even Liu Bei suddenly looked solemn, and Tao Qian held his forehead and remained silent.
"I have little talent and knowledge, but I also know that the movements of the four dimensions of heaven, earth, sun and moon are related!" When the thunder rolled over, Guo Fengxiao continued to speak sternly. "And if everyone in Xuzhou has forgotten, I might as well remind you again...
Since Huan Ling brought chaos to the world, the emperor was young and unable to govern, and when Dong Zhuo was deposed and established, he was wreaking havoc. At this time, the only person who can clean up the rivers and mountains, whip the world, and control the sea on behalf of the emperor is the general of the real guard! Today, the world can have a moment of peace.
The fact that you are able to sit in a well in Xuzhou, look at the heaven and earth, and make arrogant comments about the situation is also due to the kindness of General Wei!"
Next to the door outside the hall, Xu Shu clenched the sword in his waist several times, and loosened it several times... because he instinctively wanted to refute this person in his heart, but he got nothing. His words seemed sophistry, but in fact they were
It makes sense!
Poor Xu Yuanzhi, he thought that he was a scholar at the age of twenty-six, but unexpectedly, not only General Wei, Liu Yuzhou, and Cao Fenwu were far more heroic than him, but also young men of the same age in the same county back then were also far away again today.
Shake him off!
Putting aside these strange emotions, Guo Fengxiao's words also opened a new door for Xu Yuanzhi. The latter had not thought about things from this perspective and this way of thinking, but he had always been limited by his knowledge and his mother's loyal and filial teachings.
I don’t want to think deeply... At this time, I was opened by the other party, but I suddenly realized that the world is not the same as the Han Dynasty. There is no problem in being loyal to the Han Dynasty, but being loyal to the world can also stand upright in the world!
"As for the Tongque Terrace." Guo Jia continued with a smile. "Hebei has had abundant autumn harvests in recent years and warehouses have accumulated. At this time, it is time to put the old grain, old cloth, and new money in the warehouse to use, so as not to waste...
Therefore, it is necessary to rebuild Chidao and clean up rivers, and Tongque Terrace is just one of them! Moreover, Tongque Terrace is not a palace as rumored. I have been lucky enough to see the drawings of this terrace below. Houses are built on the rammed earth platform, among which
General Wei and his family only live in one-tenth of the tenth part of the house, but 30% of it belongs to the Literature Museum and 30% to the martial arts stage. The stage is also a place for military parades and military gatherings! In fact, General Wei has already said that if he can unify the world in the future,
To stabilize the country, we must reorganize the old capital or Chang'an. Then we will build three platforms on the Wei River or the Luo River... One will be returned to the university, one will be returned to the Yi Cong Military Academy, and one will be copied from the Tongque Tower for literature and martial arts.
Not only that, Yecheng, Changping, Chengdu, Taiyuan, Xiapi, Moling, and Xiangyang should all have such a platform! Only in this way can literature prosper, soldiers and people be martial, and the world return to its heart! Everyone, what are the aspirations of General Wei?
Don’t make assumptions based on mere pretentiousness!”
"I've heard about Guo Fengxiao's reputation in Yingchuan for a long time, but when we met today, I realized that I still underestimated him." After a moment, Liu Bei finally answered slowly in the silence. "His words were impassioned..."
"It's General Wei's behavior, ambition, words, and generosity. When Guo retells it, he just has something to say." Guo Jia finally turned to look at Liu Bei. "However, Liu Yuzhou doesn't need to belittle himself. He can do so today with just one step."
Now that I have made light of my life, I have actually gained the magnanimity of General Wei!"
Liu Bei remained silent for a while before slowly nodding his head: "Let's see! My brother is dedicated to Chang'an and is responsible for the affairs of the world, so he is naturally better than me. But in Xuzhou, no matter what happens today, it will be between me and Brother Mengde."
It’s okay for now.”
"General Wei doesn't think so much of Xuzhou's mere territory, but those of us who are ministers below will have to fight hard for it." Guo Jia suddenly raised his sword and smiled again. "Here in Xiapi, in the heart of Xuzhou, Tao Xuzhou and Liu Yuzhou have long had an affair.
We will naturally not be too troublesome if we teach and receive each other. But..."
"If you want to say that the Qingzhou navy will float south across the sea, circle behind General Langya Zang, and force him to surrender, please don't say anything." Liu Bei suddenly got excited and responded. "Since the Liaodong floating sea approached Qingzhou, there is no need to say anything in the world.
No matter how much one dares to underestimate the navy, ships in the sea are mainly pointed bottoms, high sides, and slender. They are very different from river ships. This is also obvious at a glance. When I arrived, I had already sent my naval commander Zhou Yu to guide the ships around.
Ten ships, 10,000 naval troops, sailing north from Guangling along the coast..." At this point, Liu Bei glanced at the silent Zhang Fei beside him, and couldn't help but paused slightly. "Bei will never dare to fight with my brother.
I am an enemy, but today I am entrusted with Xuzhou affairs by Tao Xuzhou, so I can’t deny my defense skills, right?”
"This is natural." Guo Jia changed his color slightly, and glanced at Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling who had only stepped forward to answer Liu Bei, and Tao Qian, who was silent and just holding his forehead to cough, and then smiled as usual again. "We are just.
I just tried my best after getting permission from General Wei... But Liu Yuzhou, you can't help but make a mistake."
"What's the matter?"
"If General Zang has already surrendered to Guan Zhendong, why is the Qingzhou navy going south this time originally trying to plot the East China Sea?" Guo Jia asked with a smile. "Of course, if they encounter Liu Yuzhou's navy, I think the East China Sea will naturally be
I can’t help but ask for it.”
Liu Bei was rarely surprised, but he stared at the young man in front of him.
Guo Jia, however, paid no attention to him, just slightly handed over his hand, and actually wanted to leave Wang Lang and Xuzhou Shangxia, who were all mentally rotted to pulp, and leave first... Obviously, although he and Wang Jingxing were traveling the same way, they each had their own destiny.
, not a systematic person at all.
"Please stay here as a filial piety." At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly called out to the other party again. "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more... Please stay and be a witness!"
Under the attention of Chen Deng and others, Guo Jia returned with a smile.
"Gentlemen." Liu Bei gathered his emotions, stood beside Tao Qian again, and spoke in a loud voice that shook the roof tiles. "Today, Tao Xuzhou has allowed me to take charge of the land of Xuzhou. Do you still have any doubts?"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion. They felt that their previous behavior was as ridiculous as a child's game in front of today's heroes. Even Tao Qian's old and dying posture was frightening. Who dared to doubt it?!
In fact, even Zuo Rong, who was originally considered to cause trouble by Chen Deng and Xu Shu, was now too trembling and did not dare to say anything.
"Everyone is speechless, but Bei has a few words to say first." Liu Bei continued to speak loudly. "Tao Xuzhou treats people with leniency, so he is indulgent, but today Liu Bei is temporarily concerned about Xuzhou... Langya, Pengcheng and
No matter... wherever Liu Bei can control, official positions above the ninth rank of Xiangting cannot be awarded privately, this is one of them!"
Chen Gui, Mi Zhu and others were as silent as cicadas, all bowing their heads.
"The common people in the fields should be governed by the public system and should not be used for personal gain by the big clan. This is the second reason!"
Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, but his face turned redder.
"Although Buddhism encourages people to do good, it should not gather people to wander around and waste public efforts. These are the three things!"
Zuo Rong clenched his fists and then loosened them, and stopped talking.
"The land will be cleared out, the government will be abolished and the state schools will be established, scientific examinations will be carried out, and the New Deal will be launched soon, these are the four things!" As he spoke, Liu Bei calmly pulled up his sleeves, held the sword in his waist again, and looked around with a look of disdain.
And asked, "I hope you will make an agreement with me about these four things. Are you willing to follow them?!"
There was silence in the hall, but no one took the oath first.
But at this moment, while the rain was dripping outside the door, someone suddenly threw an object in, and then came in with a sword... Everyone turned around in shock, only to see that the object was Danyang Military Academy Lieutenant Xu who had slipped out at some time.
Dan's head, as for the person who entered with a sword, was surprisingly the Yingchuan Xu Shu who had been following Hua Tuo.
"This man took advantage of the rain to go to the courtyard to find his old subordinates, and discussed the matter of attracting Danyang soldiers on the south bank of Surabaya to cause rebellion. He has been killed directly by me!" Xu Shu was soaked and panting as he answered, but he couldn't help but look at that person.
Looking back at his own Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. "The overall situation has been decided. I am good at making troubles. Can I be called a good deed by today's execution?!"
"Good!" Liu Bei just thought that the other party was looking at him, so he answered immediately, and the admiration in his eyes was particularly obvious.
"Good!" Tao Qian coughed twice and gritted his teeth before replying.
"Shan!" The third person to speak was Chen Deng.
After Chen Yuanlong shouted this word loudly, he unsheathed his sword again and came to Liu Bei. Then he turned to face the many Xuzhou dignitaries in the hall, but he simply cut his sleeves with the blade of the sword and said with all his strength, "
Liu Yuzhou is a hero in the world, and Xuzhou has been in chaos for a long time. It is natural to implement the New Deal and bring it back to the mainstream of the world... Today I invite Liu Yuzhou to do Xuzhou affairs, and I ask you to immediately bare your arms and swear to obey me, otherwise you will be like this!"
Everyone in the hall turned pale. They looked at Chen Deng first, then at Liu Bei, then back at Xu Shu inside the door, and finally at the head on the ground. Then they rushed over and swore an oath with their arms exposed.
In one day, Xuzhou's overall situation was decided.
————I am the dividing line that will never be updated————
"In March of the fifth year of Jian'an, some people found a bronze bird by the Zhang River. Taizu was overjoyed and set up a bronze bird platform. People on the left and right gave advice, but Taizu refused to listen. In April, there was a big earthquake in Hebei. People on the left and right repeated their advice, and Taizu accepted it.
The remonstrance was presented to the public, and the platform was as before. Lu Fan, the long history official, was puzzled and asked Taizu. Taizu replied: "The four dimensions of heaven, earth, sun and moon are all connected, and this is the reaction of heaven and man. Now all the Confucian scholars use this to treat one person,
How to explain it? So it is shown to the public; as for the Bronze Bird Stand, I have my heart's desire and dare not say goodbye. Fan Naixiao." - "Xin Yan Shu". Volume 2. The Chronicles of Emperor Taizu Wu
