Chapter 687: If I say that I really have no ill intentions, would you believe it?
Looking at the confused people, Wang Xuan let out a long sigh, "It seems that we still need to find a mastermind, otherwise I will be exhausted!"
"You just need to know that the biggest remaining real benefit of the coalition forces is in Hulao Pass. Go back and make a fortune and quickly withdraw and return to our Qijun!"
A few days ago, one of the letters sent out was addressed to Dong Zhuo, written by Liu Bei. The content was simple, directly recommending himself for the position of governor of Qi County.
Dong Zhuo didn't want to agree at first, especially when he saw the name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Is such that.
"The feudal lords in Guandong are fighting, and Liu Bei is a good chess piece. It is precisely because of his identity that no one will join forces with him."
Dong Zhuo immediately agreed after thinking about it.
"Grain and grass!" Wang Xuan was speechless at these guys who had no political sensitivity at all. They were all simple-minded people with well-developed limbs. "The current grain and grass are provided by Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou. Now that the discussion with Dong is over, Yuan Shao
With his reputation, he set his sights on Han Fu's Jizhou, how could he still provide food and grass for everyone to squander!"
"Don't ask so many questions. As soon as Yuan Shao runs out of food and grass, these guys will start fighting among themselves. If they don't leave now, then when will they leave?"
He hurriedly set off overnight and arrived at Hulao Pass on the third day. Liu Bei's 4,000 men happened to be sitting behind the command. Wang Xuan plundered most of the food and grass without any ceremony.
There are people from other princes here, but firstly, the gap in military strength is too big, and secondly, with the four powerful men of Guan, Zhang, Zhao Dian sitting in charge, no one dares to stop them. At most, they curse a few words secretly in their hearts.
After leaving Hulao Pass, everyone in the group felt a lot more relaxed physically and mentally. It's not that anyone in the coalition of princes looked down on Liu Bei and the others, it was just that these guys were intrigued and intrigued all day long, so they were not used to it.
"Come on, let's go around and have a look at Yingchuan. Yingchuan Academy is full of talents. If you want to govern a county, we can't do it alone." Liu Bei looked at the people around him. It's not a problem to charge into the battle, but to pay attention to it.
Wenzhi, haha, forget it.
To be honest, Wang Xuan had no hope at all of going to Yingchuan Academy to recruit people. However, firstly, Liu Bei's men really lacked talents. It would be too tiring to do everything on his own.
Wang Xuan agreed to the idea of hitting three poles.
Besides, even if you can't get talents, you can still get some mediocrity. Wang Xuan said that his greatest characteristic is not the use of talents, but the use of mediocre or waste materials. No matter you are a traitor or a villain, you will be punished here by Wang Xuan.
Submissive.
…
Ten thousand troops and two thousand cavalry lined up neatly and stopped below the city. The whole place was silent, and then the horses occasionally made a "chunk" sound.
Wang Xuan didn't even bother to ask which city it was, "Mr. Xuande, when our army passes through the border, it will inevitably disturb the place. In order to reassure everyone, we will visit every city we pass. We are serious Han officials.
You must not lose your etiquette and be upright, oh, by the way, ask them if they are willing to provide some food and grass to help, after all, they are officials in the same palace!"
The above are Wang Xuan's exact words, but when he passed by the first city, Wang Xuan put up such a formation at the bottom of the city. The 10,000-strong army did not say a word, but this was not done to the people on the city.
Officials and wealthy families bring even greater pressure!
Especially when Wang Xuan arranged for Zhang, Zhao and Dian to be shut down, the four kings stood behind Liu Bei with full momentum. Yes, they also didn't speak, just staring at the guys above.
This made the unsuspecting Liu Bei very embarrassed. Looking at the officials and wealthy people with sweat pouring down their faces, Liu Bei sighed: "If I say that I really have no ill intentions, would you believe it?"
"Believe it, believe it!" A group of people nodded quickly, so fast that their shadows appeared...
"We are all voluntary laborers. Mr. Liu has made outstanding contributions in his campaign against Dong Zhuo. It is only natural that we should offer some food and grass!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you give it or not!" Liu Bei said sincerely.
"Don't worry Mr. Liu Fu, we will try our best and never let Mr. Fu down!"
Liu Bei sighed again. It seemed that everyone didn't believe it anymore. Why didn't anyone believe it when he told the truth?
He really didn't expect that Wang Xuan would come up with such a move. What the hell is the difference between this and an open grab?
No, there is still a difference. At least Liu Bei knows in his heart that if these guys really insist on refusing to give, they really won't do anything extraordinary.
These guys are indeed reputable, and the food and grass they sent was very generous. Even though the city is not big, more than 30,000 stones of food and grass is already quite a lot.
Looking at the food and grass delivered, Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuan with an ugly face. He wanted an explanation. Such behavior was really inconsistent with his character.
Wang Xuan lay half-lying on the rocking chair without any image, looked at Liu Bei and asked: "Let me ask you, are these grains and grass provided by the wealthy family?"
"Yes!" Liu Bei's face was not good, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others did not dare to speak, but just listened quietly.
"Then let me ask you again, even without us, would they use this food to help the people?" Wang Xuan's voice was still so calm.
"This..." Liu Bei hesitated. He also lived at the bottom. Naturally, these aristocratic families were very stubborn. At least, he didn't see a few aristocratic families come out to help people. Even if they did, they only looked after their own sphere of influence.
They will never care about the tenant farmers and outsiders!
Of course, there are many ways to do this, and not all of the people from these aristocratic families are ruthless. The complicated situation cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences, but the fact is that they don't care!
"No way, right? There's nothing bad to say." Wang Xuan smiled disdainfully, "Then let me ask you again, are the yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou ordinary Han people?"
"This...yes!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, regardless of whether they are traitors or not, these are Han people.
"Then we went to Qingzhou, should we help the victims?"
"want!"
"Do you need food to help the victims?"
"want!"
"Where does the food come from? Does it fall from the sky!" When he said this, Wang Xuan's voice suddenly became stern, "If those Qingzhou yellow scarfs can eat enough and wear warm clothes, they will be stupid and rebel. Have they lived enough?"
"In the final analysis, people with the surname Liu are still in the world. These are all the people of your old Liu family. In order to give these people a way to survive and get them back on the right track, what's wrong with letting you go to the hands of those wealthy families?
!”
"What's the matter, do you still feel embarrassed?"
Wang Xuan scolded him, making Liu Bei feel a little embarrassed. He was still too narrow-minded. Is face so important?
