Chapter 293 Zuo Rong with a fierce look
"Okay, Ziyu and Wenru have gone out. If Tao Gong has anything to say to me, just tell me." Liu Bei looked at the figures of Yang Ji and the others. After disappearing, he turned around and said to Tao Qian.
Faced with Liu Bei's inquiry, Tao Qian was silent for a while, obviously a little surprised by Liu Bei's reaction.
"I didn't expect you, Xuande, to have grown to this extent." Tao Qian shook his head and sighed.
When he was at Hulao Pass two years ago, Liu Bei was just a small transparent person who was affiliated with Gongsun Zan and had only 2,000 people under his command.
Moreover, although Liu Bei was promoted to the status of a prince by Chen Xi at that time, the princes during the Hulao Pass period probably had the biggest impression of Liu Bei from his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong.
After that, with the help of Gongsun Zan's relationship, he drew thousands of white horses from Gongsun Zan's hands.
Then with the help of Hua Xiong's relationship, he received tens of thousands of cavalry from the defeated Dong Zhuo.
The powerful ability of the Face Fruit makes everyone in Hulaoguan so envious that they wish they could replace it with themselves.
What is comparable to Liu Bei's face is Liu Bei's status and background, which has little to do with ability.
Although he has the status of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he is just a mat weaver and shoe seller, which creates a huge gap between him and many famous families in the field.
Although everyone on the surface thinks Liu Bei is a prince, in fact they don’t know what to say about Liu Bei.
Those who really have no feelings about Liu Bei's identity are probably Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong and Tao Qian.
As a result, in just a short time, Liu Bei rose from a mat weaver and shoe seller to the number one prince in the world.
Looking at Liu Bei in front of him, Tao Qian could feel that although the temperament of Liu Bei in front of him had undergone earth-shaking changes, Liu Bei was still the same Liu Bei.
"Humans, after they have responsibilities on their shoulders, they will involuntarily move towards the path called growth. This is an inevitable experience for everyone." Liu Bei said with a smile.
Liu Bei admitted that he had changed a lot, but the only thing that would not change was Liu Bei's belief in helping the Han Dynasty and saving the people from disaster.
Recently, an ideal has been added: "Enable people to have food to eat, homes to live in, medical care for their illnesses, hard work and gain, children to be educated, and old people to have support".
"Xuande really lives up to the name of benevolence." Tao Qian also heard the hidden meaning of Liu Bei's words.
“That’s all, I originally wanted to have a good talk with Xuande, but with what you said just now, I don’t have to waste that energy.
When people get old, it is better to save more energy to deal with funeral arrangements. "Tao Qian shook his head and sighed.
"Does Mr. Tao want to attack the Xuzhou family? "Liu Bei's heart moved. The funeral arrangements Tao Qian mentioned were probably to help him deal with the Xuzhou family.
"Humph, these guys dare to use weapons, so don't blame me for using weapons too! "Tao Qian's eyes became cold and stern when he mentioned the Xuzhou Family.
Although the Xuzhou Family really captured the Prefectural Mufu, they would not do anything to Tao Qian. After all, their interests in Xuzhou They still need Tao Qian to cooperate.
But, did the Xuzhou Family ask Tao Qian if he would cooperate with their actions?
Moreover, the military turmoil caused by these aristocratic families affected more than just his state pastorate where Tao Qian was located.
"Tao Gong, why don't you leave the matter of liquidating the family to me?" Liu Bei said calmly, as if he had been prepared for it.
"Leave it to you?" Tao Qian frowned, "This is an extremely offending thing. Are you sure you want to take it over?" Tao Qian said seriously.
“If I, an old guy who doesn’t have much time, goes to liquidate them, the matter will be over.
However, if you do it, it might lead to crazy revenge from them. .
Xuande, you have to know that the energy hidden by the family is by no means as simple as what you see. "
Don't look at the chaos of the family's rebellion this time. It seems to have no rules at all.
But look at those small princes, can they come up with tens of thousands of well-trained, Private soldiers wearing leather armor and holding swords?
Even Liu Bei two years ago could only produce two thousand soldiers wearing cloth armor and equipped with swords.
Although the private soldiers of the aristocratic family in front of me were beaten like Sun Tzu by Chen Dao, who is Chen Dao and what level of army is the army that Chen Dao commands?
There are even several military commanders with certain command abilities among the aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families are really in a hurry. Maybe those aristocratic families will cause some trouble.
"So, let me, an old guy, help you clear the way for you to take over the power of Xuzhou.
Also let me settle the accounts accumulated over the years with them, and then let you Let's calm down their excitement," Tao Qian said, looking at Liu Bei seriously.
A gentleman can bully others, and it was precisely because Tao Qian saw Liu Bei's kindness that he planned to earn another favor for Tao Shang and Tao Ying.
Of course, earning Liu Bei's favor was just a matter of course. The main reason was that Tao Qian had long wanted to break up with the Xuzhou family.
Since Tao Qian took charge of Xuzhou, he has been hampered in all aspects by the aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
Now he finally found an opportunity to settle things, and he also wanted to settle things with the Xuzhou Family.
"Tao Gong, I'm talking as if what I'm doing now doesn't offend the family. In the eyes of the family, my sin is greater than yours, Tao Gong." Liu Bei laughed.
What Liu Bei is doing now is much more serious than Tao Qian's settlement with the Xuzhou family.
"Not to mention other things, just the matter of popularizing education has pushed me to be on the opposite side of the family. This is digging into the foundation of the family." Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian and said seriously.
"What do you think those aristocratic families can do to me? Do they dare to do anything to me?" Liu Bei calmed down the expression on his face and said calmly.
Listening to Liu Bei's words, Tao Qian's eyes showed a trace of shock. Is this really what Liu Bei can say?
Chen Deng and Zhao Yu next to them lowered their heads to hide the horror in their eyes. Liu Bei really dared to say that.
"There are thirteen states in the world, and you Liu Xuande only occupies two states and three counties. How do you know that they dare not attack you." Tao Qian said after coming back to his senses.
The malice of the aristocratic family doesn't care whether you are the best prince in the world, as long as you block their way to gain profits.
The aristocratic families these days, even if they bump into the emperor who is sitting upright in Beichen, they dare to bump into him.
Not to mention that you, Liu Bei, are just a prince. What does it mean to be the first prince in the world?
"Listen to me and let me, an old guy who doesn't have much time, help you clear some obstacles." Tao Qian said to Liu Bei.
If Tao Qian really believed what Liu Bei said just now, then there would really be a problem. How could all the Han families choose to stand against Liu Bei? What do you want the Chen family, the Fan family, the Xun family and other families to think?
Moreover, even those aristocratic families who chose to stand against Liu Bei for various reasons also sent young people in their families who had similar or even identical ideas to Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others to Liu Bei's side.
His Tao family is considered a wealthy family. How could he not know that the Han family has recently been counting the young people in their own family who have incorrect ideas or are not wealthy enough?
At that time, Tao Qian also took an inventory of the young people in his family, but unfortunately he couldn't find an incorrect young man after checking the direct and collateral branches several times.
Tao Qian realized at that time how big the difference was between his small family and those top aristocratic families.
No matter what those top aristocratic families do, they can turn out several or even dozens of young people who don't think enough about the aristocratic families.
Each of those top aristocratic families lost more children to Liu Bei than all the Tao Qian family.
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian, why did he always feel that Tao Qian had handed over the power of Xuzhou and the command of Danyang of Xuzhou Department to him?
Otherwise, Tao Qian could just send troops to attack the Xuzhou family who were involved in this matter. Why is his tone of discussion now?
Liu Bei's face looked a little strange. He now regretted throwing Yang Ji and Li Ru out.
If these two people were here, Tao Qian would probably be able to guess the reason for doing this. There is no need for him to guess randomly here.
"Tao Gong, since you want to settle everything with the Xuzhou family, then go ahead. Anyway, I will have to settle it sooner or later.
Yuan Jiujiu followed the law to arrest people. The numbers are pretty good," Liu Bei said with a smile.
Although after being cleaned up by Tao Qian, the Xuzhou family may not be able to produce many family members who can be caught and thrown into the big pit of universal education.
However, I am happy that money cannot buy it. Since Tao Qian wants to liquidate, let him do it.
Anyway, no matter what the outcome is for Tao Qian and the Xuzhou family, Liu Bei will follow the new version of the Han law and go to the major families in Xuzhou to arrest people.
"Huh?" Several question marks popped up on Tao Qian's forehead. What does it mean that Liu Bei also has to make a reckoning?
Tao Qian thought that after he had sorted out the Xuzhou family, he would ask Liu Bei to stop the fight and gain a lot of favors from the Xuzhou family.
Now Liu Bei wants to liquidate the Xuzhou family. Tao Qian remembers that the Xuzhou family has not offended Liu Bei in any way?
Chen Deng and Zhao Yu also raised their heads and looked at Liu Bei in disbelief. Why did they suddenly want to liquidate the Xuzhou family?
Tao Qian had to wash it again, Liu Bei had to wash it again, what would be left of the Xuzhou family?
"Don't worry, the liquidation here is carried out in accordance with the new version of the trial Han law. The mortality rate is still very low and will not have a big impact on the Xuzhou family." Liu Bei said with a smile.
If we really follow the current version of Han Law to arrest people, we don’t know how long it will take to fill the gap in universal education.
Although it is a bit abstract to use the dregs of these aristocratic families to fill the big hole of universal education.
However, there is no other way. The stall they are spreading now is a bit too big. If they don't want to take wild measures, they will not be able to get the teachers they need.

“Who is this guy?” Yang Ji looked at the middle-aged man who was stepped on by Chen Dao.
"It looks quite fierce. No wonder he was sent by the Xuzhou family to lead tens of thousands of private soldiers." Li Ru said, looking at this face that kept twisting and turning.
While Yang Ji, Li Ru and the others were discussing who was the leader of the family's private soldiers under Chen Dao.
Chen Dao's Danyang elites are cooperating with Tao Qian's Danyang elites to defeat the private soldiers of the family who are still resisting one by one.
It can only be said that he is indeed a private soldier raised by a noble family. He is loyal to the noble family and is unwilling to surrender even if the leader has been captured.
"Wenru, do you have any skills related to interrogation in your skill tree?" Yang Ji asked Li Ru.
"Why do you think I know these skills?" Li Ru asked Yang Ji very unhappy.
He is a big and kind old man, how could he have such a skill?
"Ah, you don't know how?" Yang Ji asked in surprise. He thought someone like Li Ru knew everything.
"Fuck..." Li Ru was immediately off guard by Yang Ji's question. Does he know how to do it or not?
If he said he could, the image he had created before would have collapsed. If he said he couldn't, the image he had created before would also have collapsed.
"General Yang, Li Changshi, this man is called Zuo Rong." Chen Dao asked Yang Ji and Li Ru after asking about the Danyang soldiers of Tao Qian's tribe.
"Zuo Rong?" Yang Ji frowned. He remembered that whether it was official history or the original world line, Zuo Rong was a very cruel person.
Yang Ji doesn’t know much about the official history, but in the original world line, Zuo Rong was one of the driving forces behind Cao Cao’s massacre of Xuzhou.
Unexpectedly, in this life, this guy Zuo Rong would be elected as the leader of the private army to attack Tao Qian.
In this case, those private soldiers who robbed the people in Xuzhou City should have been sent by Zuo Rong.
"Are you Zuo Rong?" Yang Ji knelt down and looked at Zuo Rong. He could only say that he was indeed a cruel person recorded in history books, but there was no trace of cruelty in his eyes.
"Who are you?" Zuo Rong frowned and asked Yang Ji. He didn't know who the young man in front of him was.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, what’s important is that you have been reciting Buddhist scriptures for so many years, but you haven’t learned the Buddha’s compassion for all living beings.
No wonder the Buddha saved the world but not you. "Yang Ji said sarcastically.
"Impossible! "Zei Rong roared at Yang Ji with a ferocious expression.
"Look, aren't you still angry? "Yang Jirong didn't pay attention to Zuo Rong's roar at all, he just accused Zuo Rong of not having the education that a Buddhist should have.
Looking at Zuo Rong's ferocious face, Yang Jirong stood up a little bored. .
"Uncle Zhi, keep an eye on him and wait for Mr. Xuande to deal with it. What this guy did should be worthy of the death penalty. ”
"No!" Chen Dao responded, and then looked at Zuo Rong at his feet. He didn't expect that this guy could attract Yang Ji's attention. It seemed that he had done something serious.
"Do you know this guy?" Li Ru looked at Zuo Rong and asked Yang Ji thoughtfully.
"How should I put it?" Yang Ji pondered for a moment and said: "Don't look at this guy's eyes just now, there is no cruelty in his eyes.
But those in Xuzhou City went to rob The people's private soldiers were sent out by this guy."
"Nuo, you are showing your ferocious nature now," Yang Ji said, pointing at the fierce look in Zuo Rong's eyes.
