Chapter 858: If you still hope, Mr. Xuande will think twice!
Just such a sentence, repeated over and over, made Xu You and a group of people feel as if their chests were pressed by a big stone, making it difficult to breathe.
But I don’t know how to refute.
"With the help of you and a group of people, Yuan Shao was completely desolate in just four years, and his body was still left in Ganling City without anyone paying attention. Such achievements are really daunting. I can say that he is indeed worthy of it.
He is from a famous family, and his methods are so clever that he can easily kill Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince." After saying this, Wang Xuan stood up and saluted a group of people with clasped fists, "I admire you!"
Liu Bei's face turned red from suppressing it. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, otherwise he would not be able to hold on anymore.
Looking at Xu You and others, their faces were no longer red, but ashen. There was nothing I could do. No matter how glamorous I said before, Yuan Shao was dead now, and his fortune had been taken over by Liu Bei. Everything had become a mistake.
.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's how cruel it is.
Several people looked at each other. Although they wished they could eat Wang Xuan's flesh, they absolutely couldn't argue with Wang Xuan. This man's vicious words and lack of respect for his face were really hard to argue with.
"The major events in the world cannot be understood by people like you who only know how to use words." After saying that, he glared at Wang Xuan fiercely. Xu You made up his mind to ignore Wang Xuan. He was a troublemaker!
Wait, is there something wrong?
Forget it, formality is important. Xu You shook his head and continued to look at Liu Bei and said: "Mr. Xuande!"
He bowed to Liu Bei again and said: "We know all the families in these three states very well, no matter who it is, they will give me some face..."
"Are you a fool of yourself? No, you have so many layers of shame. No wonder you can be so shameless. You have so many faces!"
"..." Don't be angry, don't be angry, just pretend you didn't hear anything. Even if you are ridiculed to death by Wang Xuan today, die outside, jump from here, and you will never say a word to Wang Xuan again!
Taking a deep breath, Xu You said to Liu Bei again: "If we come forward to communicate, we will be able to quickly settle down the people of the three states and put everything on track. In the shortest time, we can calm the hearts of the people of the three states."
Subordinate to Duke Xuande, with these three states as the foundation, we can capture Longxing in Guanzhong in the east, sweep across the Central Plains in the south, and pacify the world, which is just around the corner!"
"Look again, Mr. Xuande, think twice!" After saying that, Xu You bowed again.
"Look again, Mr. Xuande, think twice!" Feng Ji and a group of people followed suit and bowed.
The words were so straightforward, Xu You and others believed that Liu Bei would definitely understand their intentions. Considering their family background and status, it was a bit shameless to act like this. Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he came to Liu Bei in such a low voice and recommended himself!
The reason why they are willing to come to Liu Bei instead of choosing to go south to find Cao Cao is simply because they are optimistic about Liu Bei's development. The more reason is that Cao Cao also has a lot of talents under his command, and the top management is almost full, not to mention that they are already full.
Cao Cao has the power he has today only with the help of those people. Even if they join Cao Cao's men now, it will be difficult for them to be reused. After all, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others also have the abilities they have.
But Liu Bei is different here. At least in their opinion, Liu Bei has no famous officials. Although Liu Bei is developing well now, with their huge reputation, they can directly enter the core layer to replace Wang Xuan and others.
Take Guo Jia as an example. Guo Tu, a collateral and direct lineage of the Guo family, became an official in Liu Bei, so Guo Jia had to give up his position honestly.
For thousands of years, this "inspection and promotion system" has been emphasized. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you have a big enough reputation, you can still rise from a white man to a prime minister.
Slowly getting promoted step by step based on hard work is a sign of incompetence in their eyes, and they cannot afford to lose this person!
Bang, bang, bang, Wang Xuan stood up and clapped gently, looking at Xu You and his group with emotion, "Really, I really can't think of who gave you the courage to say this, I'm afraid Liang Jingru didn't even do that
Big deal."
"What makes you think that Duke Xuande needs you to stabilize the place?"
"What makes you think that Mr. Xuande needs to stabilize the place?"
"What makes you think that everything will be fine if the place is stable?"
A series of three questions made Xu You and others a little confused. What did it mean? Didn't Liu Bei ever think about stabilizing the place?
Impossible, are you crazy?
"Aren't you afraid of arousing people's anger in an unstable place?" Xu You now ignored the fact that he had just vowed not to talk to Wang Xuan. He stepped forward and pointed at Wang Xuan's nose and yelled.
"People's anger? What are the people? Are they the people who cannot leave thirty miles from the place of their birth in their lifetime?" Wang Xuan looked at Xu You with a smile.
"Humph, the people are ignorant, don't know the principles of heaven and earth, don't understand the principles of the world, and don't know right from wrong. Naturally, we, the scholars, have to work tirelessly to make the decision on our behalf!"
"But you have worked so hard!" Wang Xuan sneered and continued: "Since it is not those ignorant people who account for 99% of the population, then why are you afraid of arousing public anger? We don't rely on them to collect taxes anyway.
We don’t rely on them to build equipment, nor do we rely on them to join the army as soldiers!”
"In this case, it doesn't matter if you want to be 'angry', just kill them all. It won't affect taxes and soldiers anyway, so what are you afraid of!"
"You, you, you..." For a moment, Xu You couldn't find how to describe Wang Xuan's words. Even "crazy" was not enough to describe him.
"Originally, they don't pay taxes, they don't farm, they don't know how to herd cattle, they don't know how to mine, they don't know how to craft items, they don't know how to do business, they don't know how to join the army, then what do I want them to do!?"
"Of course we are governing the world. Should we rely on those untouchables who cannot read a single word, or on those warriors who only know how to wield swords and guns!" Xu You shouted, unwilling to be outdone.
"So, do you know how to govern the country?" Wang Xuan looked at Xu You with a half-smile.
Instinctively, Xu You felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was. He could only snort and raise his neck, "I know how to handle it, but governing a state is not a problem!"
"Here, let's see what you can do. Come on, I'm going to ask you."
"If you don't understand anything, just don't come." Since Wang Xuan wanted to test him, he didn't have anything to worry about.
In fact, when it comes to ability, they are really not bad, or can be said to be top-notch. The deeds of assisting Yuan Shao mentioned above are indeed real. Although Cao Cao's starting point is not as high as Yuan Shao's, the gap is not too huge.
, and when Yuan Shao occupied the land of three states and dominated the north, Cao Cao could not completely capture even one Yanzhou.
The difference between them can be seen in the abilities of these auxiliary ministers.
