Chapter 332 Li You’s actions in Xuzhou
“By the way, I have to tell Xingba that I will go to Xiapi when I return. It’s time for that guy Wenru to return to Fenggao. ." Chen Xi said to Liu Bei.
"Wenru, has he taken over the Xuzhou family?" Liu Bei asked Chen Xi with some surprise. Liu Bei was really not used to living without Li You by his side these days.
"Wenru didn't do anything bloody in Xuzhou, right?" Liu Bei continued to ask. By now, Liu Bei had a pretty good idea of Li You's background.
"Xuan Degong didn't pay attention to the news in Xuzhou?" Chen Xi asked a little strangely. He remembered that even if Liu Bei would not interfere in the strategies of local officials, he would carefully look through the files reported to Feng Gao. Records and intelligence systems over there.
"After I came back from Xuzhou in March, I stopped paying attention to things in Xuzhou." Liu Bei didn't say what he was doing a while ago and why he didn't pay attention to things in Xuzhou.
After hearing what Liu Bei said, Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own life, and no matter how close the relationship is, they must give each other some private space.
"What Wen Ru did in Xuzhou did make 90% of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou have a certain degree of resentment towards you, Duke Xuande." Chen Xi's opening words stunned Liu Bei.
What did that guy Li You do to those aristocratic families in Xuzhou to make 90% of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou resent Liu Bei?
"Is Wenru really bringing blood to the Xuzhou family?" Liu Bei asked tentatively. Li You, who was inspired by his kindness, would not do such a crazy thing. Something?
"There is no such thing as seeing blood in every family, but it's almost there. Otherwise, 90% of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou will not resent you." Chen Xi shrugged. It was impossible for Li You not to engage in bloody horror. Yes, if you don’t do it, it will be Li You and Li Wenru.
"What the hell is Wen Ru doing?" Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Since he didn't get Jia Jia Su Jin, then the Xuzhou family should be resentful of him. Anyway, those families can't do anything to him.
"It's nothing, it's just provoking infighting among most of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, and then introducing Yuan Shao's people from Jizhou in the north into Xuzhou." Chen Xi said lightly.
Li You did not get angry with others. He planned and executed it himself when he was in Xuzhou. He could clean up the black hands and influence of the Xuzhou family in Xuzhou's military and political affairs in a short time, and put the original Xuzhou, which was not very strong, was stabilized.
Originally, Chen Xi didn't know what Li You was doing in Xuzhou, but there was a guy in the Fenggao Government Affairs Department who knew Li You very well and was good at digging into the darkness of human nature.
Jia Xu did not ask Li You what his plan was at that time. He guessed what Li You wanted to do just from the apparent turmoil in the Xuzhou family, and by the way, he also learned about Li You's subsequent plans.
Now that Jia Xu knows about it, will other people in the Government Affairs Department not know about Xuzhou? At least Jia Xu will inform Chen Xi.
After all, Chen Xi controls the direction of Liu Bei's power and is the one who does the top-level planning. If Chen Xi is not informed of the matter, Chen Xi may one day complete Xuzhou's plan and collide with Li You's Xuzhou consolidation opportunity. went up, and then one party's plan was scrapped.
When Chen Xi received Jia Xu's notice, he asked Jia Xu why Li You didn't report it to him. Chen Xi had no objection to the plan and had no intention of stopping Li You's actions.
As a result, Jia Xu told Chen Xi that this was what Li You asked him to tell him. Otherwise, with Li You's ability, Jia Xu would not have seen through it so quickly and reported it to Chen Xi.
"..." Facing the answer given by Chen Xi, Liu Bei raised his forehead and sighed. He didn't know how to evaluate it. I can only say that he deserves to be Li You?
"This is fishing law enforcement. Didn't you stop him?" Liu Bei said with a wry smile.
Liu Bei does not have a good impression of most of the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty, but there is no need to engage in such an operation to induce others to commit crimes.
“This is not Wenru who took the initiative to set up a trap, but the Xuzhou family took the initiative to step into the trap. Wenru just added fuel to the fire.” Chen Xi sneered, if Li You took the initiative to set up the trap, Chen Xi had already stopped Li You's plan.
With the current speed of development under Liu Bei's rule, there is no need to engage in such an operation to keep people in check.
When they see the benefits brought by following Chen Xi and Liu Bei, they themselves will support Liu Bei's rule.
The Mi family in Xuzhou where Mi Zhu lives was originally just a merchant family, but after following Liu Bei, to what extent has the Mi family grown now?
Before Mi Zhu chose to follow Liu Bei, the Mi family could only be regarded as a local power in the entire Han Dynasty, and could not even reach the edge of the aristocratic family.
After Mi Zhu chose to follow Liu Bei, although the Mi family was still not considered an aristocratic family, except for those first-class and above aristocratic families, which family could collide with the Mi family in Xuzhou and remain unscathed?
The aristocratic family that can see clearly has long since obeyed Li You's arrangements. They will do whatever they ask. Relatively speaking, they follow Feng Gao's instructions. After all, the aristocratic family cannot really be the only one. If Liu Bei follows his lead, then he is no longer an aristocratic family.
As for those guys who can't see the situation clearly, even if Li You doesn't set up a banquet for them, they will step into another game themselves. After all, the existence of the aristocratic family determines that they will definitely collide with the wills of Chen Xi and Liu Bei.
"It seems that the aristocratic families in Xuzhou still miss Xuzhou's military and political power." Liu Bei shook his head. From Chen Xi's words, he had already guessed what was going on.
"Yuan Benchu should have drawn a lot of pie for them, right?" Liu Bei asked with interest.
"I'm not very clear about this, but I think that apart from those few things, Yuan Benchu has nothing to promise them." Since it's a big deal, of course he should give them the promise they want most. Want something.
"That's right. What the Xuzhou aristocratic families are only after is to take control of Xuzhou and then turn Xuzhou into their private territory. There is nothing new." Liu Bei guessed what the Xuzhou aristocratic family was planning in a flash of his mind.
"Previously, the Qingzhou fleet was able to sail unscrupulously on the Huai River in the Jiujiang section, probably because of the deal between the Shouchun family and the Xuzhou family." Liu Bei added again.
Chen Xi just nodded lightly. After all, apart from this reason, Chen Xi really didn't want to know the main reason why the Qingzhou Fleet was able to freely navigate the Huai River in the Jiujiang section.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I'd better go to the deck to take a look, and give Xingba the order to go to Xiapi." Chen Xi said goodbye to Liu Bei, and then left the cabin where Liu Bei was. .
When Chen Xi returned to the deck, Fazhengzheng and Lu Xun were staring at each other.
Fazheng's eyes were full of scrutiny of Lu Xun and his bad taste for high-quality children.
The reason for the scrutiny was because Chen Xi said he wanted to take Lu Xun into his sect, something even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi couldn't do. Fazheng just wanted to see how good this guy's qualifications were, and even Chen Xi couldn't help but accept him as a disciple.
In addition to this, Fazheng has other thoughts about Lu Xun. After being beaten by Guo Jia and others for so long, he can finally pass on his malice towards high-quality children. Although Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong are also high-quality children, Fazheng doesn't really want to find these three, because even Guo Jia and others can easily overturn with these three people.
The fact that they can awaken their spiritual talents at this age is enough to prove that their basic knowledge has reached a certain level.
Learning basic knowledge in depth to this extent is actually not much different from the basic knowledge of Guo Jia and others. It is more about the depth and breadth of knowledge, as well as experience and vision.
But Lu Xun was different. Fazheng was very sure that this guy's qualifications were not as perverted as Zhuge Liang's, but he was only half a level behind him. He was at the same level as him and Pang Tong, and Sima Yi was almost at the same level as Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's qualifications are just like Zhao Yun's qualifications in martial arts, almost at the top level.
However, qualifications are qualifications. Whether the qualifications can be converted into one's own strength depends on the efforts of the person concerned.
After a series of tests on Lu Xun just now, Fazheng can basically confirm that Lu Xun in front of him has not awakened his spiritual talent, and it has been a long time since he awakened his spiritual talent.
PS: Lu Xun is only eleven years old this year, even younger than Zhuge Liang. Fa Zheng, are you stimulated by Zhuge Liang?
However, with Lu Xun's qualifications, he could barely embark on the road of becoming more knowledgeable, but it was just a little more difficult than Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.
Not everyone can take the path of being knowledgeable and sophisticated, even if you have such qualifications. For example, Pang Tong, this guy also has such qualifications.
But he realized his interests early and embarked on the path of specializing in military strategy. On this path, even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi found it difficult to compete with Pang Tong.
However, Lu Xun still has time to continue to explore the path that he is really interested in. Anyway, before awakening his spiritual talent, he was learning basic knowledge, and of course he has a little bit of everything.
"Hey, it seems that you two get along very well." Seeing the two people still staring at each other, Chen Xi, who had no fun to watch, could only walk out of the shadows.
"Teacher." After seeing that it was Chen Xi, Lu Xun immediately saluted Chen Xi in a strict manner. Since he had not officially become a disciple yet, Lu Xun called Chen Xi teacher first, and then called him master after becoming a disciple.
"Zichuan, didn't you just go back to eat and sleep? Why did you come to the deck again?" Fazheng looked at Chen Xi teasingly.
"Okay, Boyan, actually you don't have to be so reserved, just relax." Chen Xi ignored Fazheng for the time being, but comforted Lu Xun first.
Chen Xi patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, then turned to Fazheng and said, "There are some things that I have to explain to Xingba."
"What is it?" Fazheng was a little interested. He asked, isn't the main purpose of the fleet now to get out of the Yangtze River quickly, and then pick up Cao Cao and the others and return to Fenggao?
Could it be that there was another problem with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? Thinking of this, Fazheng's eyes lit up unconsciously.
Lu Xun watched and listened to the conversation between his teacher and Fazheng with some curiosity, his eyes full of expectation that in the future he would become like his teacher Chen Xi (laughing).
"It's nothing big. I just want to go to Xiapi when the fleet returns, and take Wenru with us back to Fenggao." Chen Xi said to Fazheng.
Hearing this, Fazheng couldn't help but raise his brows, his eyes slid towards Lu Xun who was standing behind Chen Xi, he just rolled his eyes, and then asked Chen Xi: "Master Li's affairs in Xuzhou are finished? ”
Obviously, Fazheng also knows what Li You did in Xuzhou. After all, Fazheng has his own seat in the Government Affairs Department, and some information can be opened to Fazheng.
"It should be done. Anyway, we just need to wait for time to water it, and then wait for it to bloom and bear fruit." Chen Xi looked up at the sky and said in an uncertain tone, saying this to Liu Bei before The tone of things was completely different.
"What do you mean it should be done? Please explain it clearly to me!" Fazheng looked at Chen Xi and said unhappily.
This guy is always like this, he always likes to arouse the interest of others, and then trick people into joining the project as a free helper, and the person who is tricked can't say anything to refuse.
Because he stepped in on his own, he couldn’t blame Chen Xi. He could only say that curiosity killed the cat.
"Because the next development of the situation is none of his business." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
Because Li You couldn't take the initiative to make arrangements to lure the Xuzhou family into making mistakes, leaving people in trouble.
So what Li Ru did in Xuzhou was to try his best to provoke internal fights within the Xuzhou family, to arouse the Xuzhou family's resentment towards Liu Bei and Li You, and to get the Xuzhou family to come into contact with the people sent from Jizhou. .
In order to reduce the pressure on their side, Jizhou will definitely find ways to cause trouble for Liu Bei to divert Liu Bei's attention and buy them time to defeat Youzhou Gongsun Zan.
And in today's Han Dynasty, there are only a few people left who can cause trouble for Liu Bei.
The group of Xiliang cavalry in Guanzhong were thrown aside first. Li Jue, Guo Si and others who are busy farming now will not leave the three passes unless Li You writes a letter asking them to leave Hangu Pass.
Yizhou Liu Zhang should stay in Yizhou and play in the mud with Zhang Lu. Although he has capable ministers and generals under his command, for some reason, Liu Zhang just can't defeat Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
Next, there are Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, two vassal forces that have been merged together, although the rift caused by the merger has not been completely healed.
But as long as Yuan Shu and Sun Ce can maintain their current relationship, then Zhou Yu will have a way to build Sun Ce's forces into the third largest vassal force in the world.
If we just talk about military strength, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou should actually be ranked third, but Gongsun Zan's logistics cannot be self-sufficient and requires Liu Bei's continuous support.
