Chapter 13 Brother Big Ear, Zhao Yuntianyu wants to run away!
But when he thought of Chen Deng and his like-mindedness and their constant support, he was extremely worried that marrying Cao Bao would cause Chen Yuanlong to alienate him.
Seeing Liu Bei's serious face and silence, Liu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.
Having said this, Liu Bei is still worried about Chen Deng's feelings.
Taking a step back, this is understandable. After all, Chen Deng should be regarded as the first first-class scholar to really be optimistic about Liu Bei, trust Liu Bei, and invest in Liu Bei.
However, Liu Feng had already made up his mind that this matter must be done.
Now that the showdown has been made, Liu Feng can only vow not to give up until he achieves his goal.
So, Liu Feng was determined to give Brother Big Ear some strength.
"Father, did you know that Uncle Zilong and Uncle Guorang are leaving."
"What!?"
Liu Bei's expression, which he could control just now, finally collapsed. He looked at Liu Feng in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Historically, Zhao Yun left Liu Bei after Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, citing the death of his brother as an excuse. Tian Yu left earlier. After Liu Bei decided to go to Xuzhou, he left under the pretext of returning to his hometown to take care of his mother.
Now Liu Feng has not left because of his butterfly wings, but Liu Feng knows that if there is no greater change, Tian Yu will leave sooner or later.
"Zilong and Guorang are leaving? How come I didn't know?"
Liu Feng replied seriously: "This is exactly where your fault lies, father."
"My fault?"
Liu Bei was surprised at first, then suddenly thought of something, and then became guilty, obviously thinking of something.
Liu Feng did not give him face, and directly exposed his background: "Father, the day before yesterday, he divided the six thousand soldiers into three groups. Except for you to personally lead one group as the central army, the other two groups were handed over to each other. The second uncle and the third uncle were divided into divisions, and the second uncle and the third uncle were appointed as school captains.
Uncle Zilong and Uncle Guorang have followed their father for a long time, and they have never left him despite being in low points. They are extremely loyal. My father now takes over as the state pastor, but he turns a blind eye to Uncle Zilong and Uncle Guorang, and has not given any title.
In their view, doesn’t my father only share in adversity, but not wealth?”
Liu Bei's face changed continuously, and finally turned into a bitter smile: "I only have more than 6,000 soldiers in my hands. The war in Xuzhou has just stopped, and there is no money or food. Your second uncle and third uncle were the first to follow my father. It's hard to wrong them, right?"
"That's not what I meant."
Liu Feng stabbed him fiercely and said: "What my father said is certainly true, but there are four thousand elite soldiers available at the moment. How can my father still remain indifferent and sit back and watch? Uncle Zilong and Uncle Guorang are heartbroken. Should he abandon his father and leave? It should be noted that today is a time of great strife. Not only does the monarch choose his ministers, but the ministers can also choose their king!"
"Father, you are the emperor! The first line has been withered, but the two uncles Guan Zhang, Uncle Jian, and the two uncles Zhao and Tian are the only ones who can be used. If you lose two more people, you must not wait until Uncle Zilong and Guo. It's too late to regret after Uncle Rang left."
Liu Bei was silent for a moment and sighed: "It's true what Feng'er said, because my father treated Zilong and Guorang poorly. In times of crisis, we fought in the south and north, fought in bloody battles, and shared the joys and sorrows without complaining. Today, my father is in charge of Xuzhou, and I really cannot wrong them."
Liu Bei had to admit that he was really moved. These four thousand soldiers were organized, and when they were placed under Cao Bao, he was still required to provide money and food to support them.
Now that they are under his command, it means that they have gained four thousand more soldiers and horses out of thin air without spending any money or food, while Cao Bao's side has lost four thousand. This strength comparison suddenly reversed by eight thousand.
Besides, if the marriage is really completed, then Cao Bao will become an in-law of the Liu family, and the military strength of Liu Bei's side will completely overwhelm the Danyang faction.
Finally, Liu Bei made up his mind. At worst, he would personally go to apologize to Chen Deng, and he would accept these four thousand people to retain Zhao Yun and Tian Yu.
After making a decision in his heart, Liu Bei immediately regained his composure: "Then according to Feng'er's opinion, what should a father do?" The four thousand people were divided into three groups, two of which had 1,500 people each, and were put under the command of Uncle Zilong and Uncle Guorang. At the same time, the two uncles were recommended as school captains and the remaining 1,000 people could be handed over to the important counties. According to the time, the talents that Haier asked his father to recruit will be here soon. When they arrive, they can try out Jian Bazhi."
After learning that Liu Bei had taken control of Xuzhou, Liu Fengren had not yet arrived. When he arrived, he first sent a silk letter to Liu Bei, asking him to send out a letter to recruit several people.
The first among them is Lu Su Lu Zijing, a native of Dongcheng County, Linhuai. Later there were Chen Jiao from Dongyang in Guangling, Liu Ye from Chengde in Huainan, Zhoutai and Jiang Qin from Xiacai in Jiujiang, Xu Sheng from Langyeju and others.
But there is no Zhuge Xuan in this. It’s not that Liu Feng doesn’t like Zhuge Wuhou, but that Zhuge Xuan doesn’t think highly of Liu Bei at all. Even if he conquers the throne, he will only be rejected. Liu Feng can only be another one. Plan, wait and see later.
Among the above people, Lu Su is a talented person who is the king's assistant. He has both political integrity and talent, as well as a loyal character. He is the number one talent that Liu Feng strongly recommends to Liu Bei.
Among the others, Liu Ye is the one with the least probability.
Although this man is wise and resourceful, he has a long-term vision and a very strategic vision.
But in history, he and Brother Big Ear had a very bad compatibility. A member of the clan named Liu was determined to follow Boss Cao. Not only was he unmoved by the Sun family's solicitations, he even persuaded Cao Cao several times to kill Liu Bei to avoid future troubles.
As for Chen Jiao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng and others, we mainly need to look at two words, one is clever and the other is fast.
According to history, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Xu Sheng all went to Jiangdong in this year and defected to the Sun family. Especially Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were from the same hometown, shared weal and woe, and joined Sun Quan's command together.
Chen Jiao was from Guangling and had taken refuge in Jiangdong, but ultimately refused the recruitment of Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and others and returned to his hometown.
This talent, as long as Liu Bei occupies Xuzhou, even if he does not conquer it this time, he will definitely be able to join Liu Bei's army sooner or later.
The talents of Lu Su’s Wang Zuo, Liu Ye’s genius as a strategist, Chen Jiao’s talents, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, and Pan Zhang who was already following Liu Feng were all talents of the generals. .
If you can take them all into your pocket and rely on them as your confidants, then Liu Bei's Yuan Cong power will greatly increase in strength and truly become Liu Bei's tripartite force to check the Xuzhou faction and the Danyang faction.
This is Liu Feng's strategic plan for Brother Big Ear.
Liu Bei is indeed a hero. Although his abilities in all aspects are only average, he is good at using people and can accept the opinions of others. Especially for talents, they are even more hungry. Liu Feng's requests are all granted, and an additional 30% of gifts are added. His desire for talents is beyond words.
Liu Bei nodded. The talents under his command were sparse, and there were only a few available people, and most of them were Xuzhou scholars and Danyang warriors. Deep down in his heart, he was actually very uneasy.
