Chapter 112 Liu Ye solves the problem

Chapter 112 Liu Ye solves the problem

After that, Gu Jiang went directly to Xiangben County. After finding Jin Rui, he told him everything about the village's meeting with the Fujun and the Fujun's questioning.

Jin Rui was shocked when he heard this and did not dare to neglect. He quickly found a confidant and asked him to go to Tancheng to report the news.

Jin Rui specially ordered his cronies to go to Tancheng to find the young master first. If he could not find the young master, he would go to the envoy.

No one is allowed to reveal this matter without seeing the young master or the envoy.

The confidant was saved by Jin Rui, so he naturally agreed and promised that he would rather die than reveal the secret, and then rushed to Tancheng.

Although Xu Qiu and others had mounts, Xu Qiu himself rode an ox cart. Although it was stable, the speed was very slow.

In addition, the large group of people moved slowly and had to take a detour to cross the bridge, so Jin Rui's cronies took a small road and overtook them.

Jin Rui's cronies arrived first and entered Tancheng early the next morning.

At this time, Liu Feng had already left Tancheng and rushed to the front line of Kaiyang with Chang Xi.

Unable to find Liu Feng's confidant Jin Rui, he could only ask to see Liu Bei.

The guard asked Jin Rui's cronies why they were here, but he couldn't tell him. After calling Fu Shiren, he only said that he had something important to report to Ambassador Liu.

If this was the age of peace, Fu Shiren would probably have beaten this man out long ago.

But now, Fu Shiren was more thoughtful and went in to report the matter to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei heard this, he squeezed out some time and had someone call him in.

After seeing Liu Bei, Jin Rui's cronies did not hesitate, poured beans directly into the bamboo tube, and explained everything Jin Rui told him in detail.

Liu Bei then knew that Xu Xuan was coming back.

Liu Bei also had a headache for Xu Qiu.

This man is well-known, senior, and has always been known as an honest and capable official. He is also one of the few famous eunuchs in Xuzhou.

Even Chen Deng had to call himself a junior in front of Xu Qiu.

In other words, Chen Deng's father and two uncles were able to stabilize Xu Zhuan's head.

Xu Qiu was dismissed at that time and was planning to return to Haixi to retire. However, when he passed by Tancheng, Tao Qian tried his best to persuade him to stay. He even worshiped him as the Prime Minister of Donghai and governed the Donghai County where he was located.

To be honest, Tao Qian treated Xu Qiu more as a way to reward him for his merits than to respect him.

The two have collaborated many times before, and Xu Qiu also unswervingly supports Tao Qian.

Whether it is to challenge Dong Dong for the second time or to join forces to fight against Liang, Xu Qiu is always a supporter of Tao Qian. If you don’t reward such hardcore people, who will support you in the future?

In the novel, the eighteen princes fight against Dong, including Tao Qian and others.

But in the official history, Tao Qian is not only not the old crybaby, he is also quite capable of fighting, and his ambition is boundless.

Tao Qian didn’t even bother to participate in the first protest against Dong organized by Yuan Shao and the others. After they were done with it, he launched a second protest against Dong alone. The momentum was not at all compared to that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. difference.

At that time, in addition to the five counties of Xuzhou where Tao Qian was located, there were also Runan County, Pei State, Lu State, Yingchuan County, Chen State, Liang State, Lujiang County and Wu County of Yangzhou, and Beihai of Qingzhou Guo, Taishan County of Yanzhou, Rencheng State, a total of sixteen counties, and their momentum is at its peak.

Jointly elected Zhu Jun, one of the three famous generals who defeated the Yellow Turban Army, as the Grand Master to welcome Emperor Xian back and rebuild the court.

The reason why Xu Qiu supported Tao Qian so much was not because he was Tao Qian's direct descendant or personal minister, but because he recognized Tao Qian's proposal to welcome back Emperor Xian. His loyalty was to the Han Dynasty.

This determines that Tao Qian cannot give Xu Qiu the real power of the Donghai Commandery.

Although Tao Qian worshiped Xu Qiu as the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, he still refused to delegate power. He used county commander Shi, meritorious officials and others to evade Xu Qiu, leaving him with no real power.

But this does not affect Xu Xuan's reputation in Xuzhou.

Although Liu Bei is the governor of Xuzhou now, he has nothing to do with Xu Qiu and can only treat him with courtesy.

Even because of Tao Qian's death, Xu Qiu took back a lot of power as the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, and Liu Bei was helpless.

Now that Xu Qiu heard the news of the war, he immediately rushed back to Tancheng. This made it clear that he wanted to come back to raise an army to investigate the crime.

But Liu Bei not only had nothing to do with the other party, but also asked for help from the other party.

Xu Qiu was from a wealthy family in Guangling and was a leader in Haixi. His family always had two thousand stones and he had a high reputation in his hometown.

With Xu Qiu’s full support, Liu Bei could even recapture Guangling without any bloodshed.

And if Xu Xuan resists Liu Bei, then the whole of Guangling may resist Liu Bei.

Calculating the distance, I can see Xu Zhuan this afternoon at the latest. Liu Bei’s head hurts a little.

Liu Bei hurriedly invited Mi Zhu over to discuss the matter in detail, hoping that Mi Zhu could find a solution.

But Mi Zhu has never been quick-witted, how could he think of a solution at this moment.

The result was that the principal and the minister looked at each other, speechless.

Just when Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were staring at each other and were helpless, a close servant suddenly came to report that the envoys who had gone to Huainan Chengde to conquer Liu Ye had returned.

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were both surprised. The former asked: "Did Liu Ye ever accept the request?"

The attendant quickly replied: "Report to Uncle Fang, can you be fooled?" What an honor it is to be summoned by Uncle Fang. It is natural that Mr. Liu Ye should accept it."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately stood up and said, "Where is Mr. Liu Ye now?"

Liu Bei remembered that he had heard Liu Feng say that Liu Ye was resourceful and good at making clever strategies. Later, when Lu Zijing came, he also praised Liu Ye as a descendant of the clan and a talented king.

Now that Xu Gongwen's crime is imminent, Liu Ye is overjoyed from the sky. How can Liu Bei not be overjoyed?

"Outside the main gate."

"I will welcome you personally!"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the main gate.

At this time Liu Ye had already got off the Xuan car and was standing beside the carriage waiting.

But he saw a big man with arms longer than his knees, huge ears, and a naive face running towards him.

Liu Ye was so sinister and cunning that he was stunned for a moment.

Who is this person who dares to act so recklessly in the state capital?

Before Liu Ye could react, the big man rushed forward and grabbed his hands.

“Zi Yang, you made me wait so hard.”

Liu Bei grabbed Liu Ye's hands and shook them back and forth to comfort him, expressing his closeness and desire for virtue.

"Xuan Che set off early, but Zi Yang was nowhere to be seen. He had trouble getting ready for sleep and food. He was worried that Zi Yang would be too lazy to teach him."

Liu Bei spoke sincerely, His attitude was sincere, and even with Liu Ye's early wisdom and maturity, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

This Liu Xuande is so popular.

Liu Ye really didn't expect that the other party would value him so much. He couldn't help but bow his head and wanted to return the gift.

It was better not to lower his head. When he lowered his head, he happened to see one of Liu Bei's bare feet. Looking again, it turned out that he had not put on his shoes just now. When he crossed the threshold, one of his shoes was kicked out.

But Liu Bei didn't feel it at all. He stood outside the gate of the state capital in the ice and snow, and just kept holding Liu Ye's hand and talking about his expectations.

Liu Ye was really moved.

Liu Ye has a very high self-esteem and believes in his superhuman intelligence. He has not thought highly of others since he was a child.

The only two people he can regard as friends are Lu Su and Zhou Yu, which shows his arrogance.

But this is also true. Arrogant people are sometimes more likely to be fooled, because they are confident and have great faith in their own judgment.

Just like now, although Liu Ye only met for the first time, he concluded that Liu Bei was really sincere and was moved by him.

Is Liu Bei acting?

It is and it is not.

Liu Bei is indeed looking forward to Liu Ye very much because of the recommendations of Liu Feng and Lu Su.

Moreover, Liu Bei is very tolerant of talented people.

In this regard, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are really spiritual brothers.

As good as Cao Cao was to Guo Jia, Liu Bei was as good to Chen Deng and Fazheng.

Guo Jia, Chen Deng, and Fazheng all have the same characteristics: they are resourceful, do not pay attention to etiquette, and are happy with grudges.

Liu Bei had already had strong expectations for Liu Ye, and now he was facing Xu Zhuo's questioning, so he naturally placed all his hopes on Liu Ye.

As the saying goes, when you ask for something, you must first be polite to others.

Coupled with Liu Bei's usual desire for talents, this move, even if it is a performance, is a true performance. Otherwise, how could he deceive Liu Ye's eyes.

“I was entrusted with the envoy’s expedition, and Ye just wished I could have wings so that I could come to the envoy as soon as possible to thank him.”

Of course Liu Ye’s words were lies, but he couldn’t always tell the truth. Tell me, I actually despise you. Even your envoy planned to give it to Yuan Shu as a talisman to avoid disaster. If Lu Su hadn't written to persuade me and Yuan Shu didn't make any move, I wouldn't have bothered to come over.

Standing aside, Huang Li only felt that there were countless question marks on his forehead. He remembered that Liu An, the king of Huainan in the former Han Dynasty, was successful in cultivating Taoism, and his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

Could it be that Huainan really left behind some magic that gave birth to two wings, and the envoys needed to be tied up? But I didn’t see you flying over after tying me up. At this moment, Liu Ye couldn't care less about what Huang Li was thinking.

At this moment, his view of Liu Bei has changed greatly. He only feels that what Zijing said is true. Liu Bei can win people so much that there will be no limit to the future.

Especially Liu Ye thought of a person in his heart, and this person made him tremble with excitement.

If the Liu Bei in front of him could really do what that man did, could this big man still be saved?

Liu Ye suddenly broke away from Liu Bei's hands and turned around to pick up Liu Bei's flying right shoe amid the surprised eyes of everyone.

After he got it back, he held his right shoe with both hands and said to Liu Bei: "I already know your desire to seek talents. Although Ye is not talented, I am willing to work hard for you to repay your kindness. "I just beg you to take good care of your body and don't take yourself lightly."

Liu Bei's eyes turned red, he took the shoes from Liu Ye's hand, bent down and put them on, and then grabbed Liu Ye's hand. Said: "Zi Yang's words are to love me and respect myself. You should remember it when you are ready."

Fortunately, Liu Bei had not completely forgotten Huang Li. He turned around and comforted him, gave him a week's holiday, and then let him go down to rest.

However, Liu Ye was held by Liu Bei's hand and refused to let go, and he personally welcomed him into the mansion.

Huang Li stood outside the mansion and sighed. Originally, he thought it was due to his magnanimity that he did not care about past grudges.

But now it seems that he has to pray that Liu Ye is brave enough. Seeing that he has no resentment along the way, Liu Ye should not say bad things about him, right?

I don’t know if I can keep that box of Huanghuang Xiaoqi Pills.

Worrying about gains and losses, Huang Li had no choice but to leave the state capital and go home to rest. Liu Bei had just given him a week's rest.

Liu Ye was welcomed into the palace by Liu Bei. At the same time, he also ordered the servants to hold a banquet for Liu Ye tonight.

Even Liu Ye’s city was a little flattered.

Liu Bei, Liu Ye and Mi Zhu returned to the main hall.

Liu Bei suddenly sighed.

Liu Ye asked curiously: "Why do you sigh?"

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Liu Ye with hesitation on his face.

Liu Ye suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask about? You can ask at will, and Ye will tell you everything you know."

Liu Bei But he shook his head and said: "It's not that I have something to ask, but I just encountered a difficult matter, and I am discussing it with you here. It's just that we have been discussing it for a long time, and we are at a loss."
< br>"I know that Ziyang is smart and wise, and he wants to ask for advice, but he has no face. It should be noted that Ziyang, you have come a long way, and you have not rested yet, so you are ready..."

"Why did Ming Gong say this? .”

Liu Ye stood up and worshiped: "If Ming Gong doesn't think Ye is stupid, can you ask him?"

"Why did Ziyang say this?"

Liu Bei immediately followed the donkey down the slope and took Xu. Qiu's question popped up.

After hearing this, Liu Ye was secretly happy. He didn't expect that Liu Bei really valued him so much. He didn't even shy away from the dispute between states and counties. He really came to the right place this time.

After calming down, Liu Ye began to think deeply.

After a while, he actually had an idea.

Liu Ye pretended to hesitate and said: "Ming Gong, Ye is not talented. I have thought of a plan, but this plan is a bit deceptive. I don't know if it can be used."

I heard that Liu Ye already had one Countermeasures, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu both showed surprise and shock in their eyes.

This has only taken so long, and I can’t even get a stick of incense.

This strategy does not need to be superior, but if it can be used, Liu Ziyang can be used.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked Liu Ye to describe it in detail.

Liu Ye naturally followed everything and laid out his plan: "Ming Gong, Ye has been famous for Meng Yugong for a long time. This man is a famous scholar in Huaisi, who has been in the prefectures and counties for a long time. He is loyal to the court and is responsible for illegal and disorderly affairs. Ji hated Yuan Shu very much. When he was the governor of Runan, he repeatedly rejected Yuan Shu and restricted his disciples and old officials, so that Yuan Shu could not control Runan. "

"When Tao Gong and Yuan Shu parted ways, Meng Yugong even more. He directly raised troops and expelled the officials sent by Yuan Shu from Runan County. However, Meng Yugong was finally dismissed by the court and left Runan because of Yuan Shu's collusion with Li Jue and Guo Si."

"It can be seen that. , Meng Yugong hates Yuan Shu deeply."

"In that case, why not use Yuan Shu as an enemy to persuade Meng Yugong?"

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu understood somewhat. What Liu Ye meant was to make Zang Bali understand Yuan Shu.

Liu Bei was a little hesitant. This strategy was indeed good, but it had some shortcomings.

"Zi Yang, although this plan is good, it has no evidence. If Meng Yugong asks, how should you answer?"

Liu Ye explained: "Ming Gong does not need to worry, just use Yuan Shu It's enough to have Ming Gong's ears and eyes around you, and you can also tell Meng Yugong that Yuan Jiuji wants to represent Zang Ba as the governor of Langya, Chang Xi as the prime minister of the East China Sea, and the governor of Renren, the thief of Mount Tai, in exchange for Zang Ba and others helping him enter Xuzhou. "

"Yuan Jiujiu wants to enter Xu next year and takes Guangling first. If Ming Gong sends troops to resist, Zang Ba will make a surprise attack behind Ming Gong, attack from inside and outside, defeat Ming Gong and overthrow Xuzhou!"

Although Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, his heart was horrified.

Liu Ziyang was exactly the same as what Liu Feng said before. They both saw the huge threat that Zang Ba's Taishan bandits posed to Liu Bei.

Liu Feng also took advantage of this to persuade Liu Bei to attack Zang Ba first.

Now listening to Liu Ziyang’s analysis, Liu Bei became more and more aware of Zang Ba’s danger.

Although it was Liu Ziyang who came up with the strategy to deal with Xu Qiu, how could he know that Yuan Shu had no capable person to offer this poisonous strategy?

Liu Bei felt a chill on his back and was terrified.

Liu Ye bowed to Liu Bei and said: "Ming Gong can rectify the army, raise food and fodder, and attack Zang Ba first. It must be based on this consideration, right? In Ye's opinion, this is really a wise move. "

Mi Zhu listened intently and nodded frequently. He felt that this plan was very good, and finally said: "Zi Yang's plan is very good, Ming Gong can follow it quickly."< br>
Liu Bei calmed down and nodded in agreement: "Shan, let's use Zi Yang's plan."

Then he expressed gratitude to Liu Ye: "Thank you for Zi Yang, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with Xu Gong." Ask for guilt.”

When Liu Ye saw that his strategy was adopted by Liu Bei, he was very happy and said humbly: "Ye's strategy is just because he is from Huaiyang and knows more about Meng Yugong, and he is suspected of setting up a trap. He is not sincere enough. "

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Zi Yang is too modest."

"By the way, Zi Yang has been tired all the way, does he need a rest?"

Liu Bei asked with concern first. Then he expressed his position: "If Ziyang is not tired, you can come with me to visit Duke Xu."

Liu Ye now sees Liu Bei as a completely different person. He only feels that Liu Bei is indeed meritorious and respectful. Magi. He not only cares about his own body, but also considers his trust in himself, which can be said to be considerate.

"Ye is willing to follow Duke Ming to meet Meng Yugong."

"Good."

Sure enough, at noon that day, Xu Qiu's carriage returned to Tancheng.

After Xu Qiu came back, he went straight to the state capital and asked to see Liu Bei.

Liu Bei did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Mi Zhu and Liu Ye out of the house to greet them in person.

After all, Xu Xuan still respected Liu Bei and did not confront him. Instead, he followed the etiquette and thanked Liu Bei first, and then was welcomed into the main hall.

Xu Qiu first reported the results of this county visit. In the five counties east of the East China Sea, a total of 27 officials, large and small, were deposed, and 22 of them were imprisoned for questioning.

Liu Bei relaxed, expressed his attitude, and praised Xu Qiu for handling things appropriately and well-founded.

At this time, Xu Xuan was sitting upright and changed the topic: "In Qixing County, I really miss Uncle Fang in my heart."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, wanting to express his gratitude. .

But he heard Xu Qiu continue to say: "I heard that Uncle Fang has the ambition to farm, and Qiu was overjoyed. It is precisely because Uncle Fang's ambition is admired by all the people to save the people from fire and water. But there is something unclear to Qiu, so I would like to ask Uncle Fang to clarify my doubts." ”

It came as expected.

Liu Bei thought to himself, with a stern look on his face: "Xu Guoxiang, please speak."

Xu Qiu said: "Since the Xingping Year, Xuzhou has suffered from military disasters many times, especially two years ago and last year. In the end, Pengcheng turned into white land and the East China Sea was a scorched earth. In this case, Zhuang thought that the most urgent task was to recuperate and recuperate. "I heard that Uncle Fang suddenly sent troops to Langya. I don't know why. Reason? ”

Liu Bei glanced at Xu Qiu and saw that he had a resolute expression and a blazing gaze. He had no intention of backing down. He must have wanted an explanation from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei felt lucky. Fortunately, Liu Ziyang happened to catch up, otherwise today's scene would have ended unhappy.

Now I hope Liu Ziyang’s method will work.

Liu Bei explained seriously: "Meng Yugong doesn't know something. I am sending troops north this time just for Meng Yugong's hometown."

Xu Xuan heard this and was immediately confused: "My hometown ? What does this matter have to do with Haixi?"

Liu Bei explained: "What Bei said below is a secret in the state. Meng Yugong must not reveal even half of it."

Hearing this, Xu Xuan not only did not rely on his old age, but instead straightened his face and saluted respectfully: " Please rest assured, Mr. Qiu will keep the secret.”
