"In any case, let Jia Xu and Li Ru come to Qingzhou first, first to determine the position of master and subordinate, and secondly, let them see our Qingzhou and reassure themselves." Wang Xuan needed to make specific arrangements.
Wait until you meet these people before deciding.
"By the way, I'd like to ask Lu Bu if he wants to pay a friendly visit!" After thinking about it, Wang Xuan said again: "However, this is just a suggestion. It's up to him whether he comes or not."
Seeing that Wang Xuan had thought up a countermeasure, Liu Bei then spoke: "That Li Ru..."
When this name was mentioned, Liu Bei's face became very ugly. Even though it was those noble families who dethroned Dong Zhuo and established the emperor, it was Li Ru who poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother and ordered the excavation of the imperial tomb. To say that Liu Bei, a member of the royal family, was not
It is absolutely impossible to hate Li Ru.
As soon as Liu Bei mentioned this name at the beginning, Wang Xuan knew what it meant, "You know who doesn't, it's the kid from that family. If you give that person an arrow, that person will not only not blame him, but also blame that kid for the kid."
Whoever comes here to be the prime minister will become the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Liu Bei was amused when Wang Xuan told him. He also knew that the reason why Wang Xuan said this was to ease the anger in his heart and to give him an example. However, could Li Ru really compare with Guan Zhong?
?
"Referring to Guan Zhong's shooting of Qi Huan's official affairs, okay, I know what you mean, but is Li Ru qualified?" Liu Bei smiled, and his mood improved a lot.
"The biggest characteristic of Li Ru is that he has enough experience. He is best suited to follow Xuande Gong to check for leaks and explain some policy things. He is a true all-round player. Compared with him, Tian Feng and others are far behind in experience.
Yes, after all, Li Ru’s position is high enough.”
"There is a saying that the butt determines the head. If you have never been in that position, it is difficult to see and understand some things clearly."
"As for what Li Ru did at that time, in fact, Xuande Gong does not need to take it too seriously. At that time, everyone was their own master. Besides, even if there was no Li Ru, there would still be Zhang Ru and Sun Ru. There would still be people doing these things.
Under the general trend, personal will cannot be diverted."
"Forget it!" Liu Bei sighed. His butt was a little high now, saying he was Qingzhou Mu. In fact, Wang Xuan had always asked him to look at the problem from the emperor's perspective, which resulted in him not having these emotions.
Just vent to Wang Xuan. When the information was delivered to him, he didn't reveal anything at all.
Now that Wang Xuan has made it so clear, what else can he do? In fact, he is only angry because this is a weakening of the emperor's authority. If we say how loyal he is to the young emperor and his feelings have a legacy, then
It's just nonsense. In the final analysis, it's still a matter of interests. He stands in the position of 'emperor', not a specific person.
After the internal problem was solved, the news naturally spread to Zhao Yun quickly through channels.
After receiving the news, Zhao Yun went to see Lu Bu and told Wang Xuan's suggestion to capture Gaodu and Huguan in Shangdang County of Bingzhou. From a strategic perspective, he maintained a deterrent state against Bingzhou and Jizhou and took the initiative.
Of course, this is just a suggestion. How you act depends on Lu Bu himself.
In fact, Lu Bu didn't want to return to Bingzhou. If he occupied Huguan, he could attack or defend as he pleased. Therefore, after just a little thought, he made up his mind.
Since the suggestion was made by Wang Xuan, Zhao Yun definitely wouldn't mind helping. Zhang Xiu, who had been holding back for many years, finally no longer needed to hide. With Li Ru's little suggestion, the promised battle was completed.
A war of annihilation.
During the siege, the four top masters of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Xiu attacked at the same time to open the gap. Gao Shun's camp followed up to expand the gap, and ordinary soldiers followed up to stabilize their positions on the city wall.
Yuan Shaojun was not mentally prepared to deal with such a blow, and was directly taken away by a wave of waves.
At this point, Gao Shun was left to lead the troops to garrison Huguan, Zhang Liao was in charge of the center, and Lu Bu followed him on a foreign affairs visit with confidence and boldness.
In fact, Lu Bu was still somewhat uneasy in his heart. Forget it if it were someone else, Liu Bei would be somewhat in danger. No matter how he is the best in the world, ten or eight masters who show off their power can still defeat him.
He was looking for teeth everywhere, but Liu Bei was the only one in the world who could produce so many masters.
Therefore, Lu Bu's willingness to form an alliance with Liu Bei not only has Liu Bei's goodwill toward him, but also has something to do with hard power.
There were not many people this time. Tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry stayed in Henan County. The main people traveling down the river were Zhao Yun, Li Ru and other key personnel. It only took two days to reach Gaotang County, Qingzhou Plain County downstream.
, after passing through Licheng, from Li Ru to Lu Bu, there was only surprise in his eyes.
The blue-black city wall turned gray-white, and there was no gap in the masonry. The tall and thick urn city, the flat and wide avenues in the city were also paved with gray-white 'stones', and all the soldiers were wearing iron armor and steel shields. It looked like this
It is the most popular equipment.
The people in the city were neatly dressed, and although they were not all red-faced, it seemed that no one was hungry. From the beginning to the end, they did not see a single beggar. When I asked Zhao Yun if he had hidden those beggars on purpose, Zhao Yun's face turned pale.
Weirdly said: "It's not that they were hidden, but they were captured and put to work. Bijia hates beggars very much. In fact, even if they are lame or have broken arms, as long as they are willing to work in Qingzhou, they will definitely
I won’t starve to death.”
After arriving at Licheng, the whole journey was carried out in four-wheeled carriages. Li Ru and others also knew that this was called a cement road. However, they knew it, but they still couldn't accept it emotionally. Is this still Qingzhou where the Yellow Turbans are raging?
Neat farm buildings, "perfect" water conservancy facilities, wide cement roads, new four-wheeled carriages, and soldiers who are extremely well-equipped, you tell me they were built within two years!
Although Zhao Yun specifically explained that this water conservancy facility has just been renovated in the first phase, and it will take about two years to complete the follow-up. The canal planned by Wang Xuan has not been dug yet, and the road only connects a large town, and some more work is needed to connect every village.
At that time, four-wheeled carriages were only used by the official government and were not yet fully popularized among the people. The farmhouses were only briefly repaired and there was no time to rebuild them...
But in the eyes of Li Ru and Jia Xu, Zhao Yun's series of remarks were just pretentious!
And it’s invisible pretense!
Well, they haven't learned such profound and perfect words yet, but the way they squinted at Zhao Yun clearly showed that they couldn't beat Zhao Yun, otherwise...
In fact, the main reason is that the impact on the two people's three views has been a bit big. Although they have never said it, the real situation is that both of them feel that they are the most powerful masterminds in the world, but they know in their hearts, don't say it.
Years, even ten years, may not be able to restore Qingzhou to this horrible state!
