Mi Zhu, as the top businessman of this era, has impeccable investment vision!
A few days ago, the Zhen family of Hebei, who were also merchants, defected to King Hongnong. Mi Zhu was shocked when she first heard the news! Although the Zhen family has been trading all over the world in recent years, its roots are in Hebei! They did not hesitate to put all their wealth on King Hongnong who was far away in the southwest. I have to say that the courage of the Zhen family is indeed impressive.
Different from ordinary people's criteria for choosing a monarch, and the behavior of the clan that bets everywhere, businessmen prefer to use small and broad to make a big difference. Take the Zhen family as an example. When King Hongnong just emerged, he put all his bets on it. This is what businessmen do. The best choice, of course, Mi Zhu is no exception, because Mi Zhu has put all his wealth on one person, even though he has just emerged, even though he may be cut into dust soon.
Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, Queen Jing of Zhongshan!
"Brother, you must believe me! Although I am greedy for drinking, I dare to swear to God that I never said any edict." Zhang Fei was so angry that his eyes widened!
"Clothes and belts edict!" Guan Yu reminded at the side.
"Second brother is right, this is it..." Eldest brother, second brother! You must believe me! "
"Third General, calm down! No one will blame you!" Sun Qian on the side comforted him warmly.
Sun Qian, named Gongyou, was born in Beihai County (now Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province). He became Liu Bei's staff under the recommendation of the famous scholar Zheng Xuan, and was one of Liu Bei's most trusted confidants.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and several people raised their heads. After seeing the person, Liu Bei stood up, walked a few steps, held the person's hands, and said excitedly: "Zifang is finally back! Zizhong (Mi Zhu's How about what you told me?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou Mu, Yuan Long's tone is very firm and he has no other thoughts!" Mi Fang said.
Hearing this, everyone present sighed, and Mi Zhu said directly: "Yuanlong is far smarter than all of us, and he is especially good at adapting to changes. If he can fully help us, we will have a chance of survival!"
"Zizhong, Zifang, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for your brothers who have been thinking and making suggestions for Bei these days, I would have been unable to hold on. The whole of Xuzhou would have fallen apart. If you can survive this difficulty, Bei will definitely be married." To repay you for your kindness!" As he spoke, Liu Bei excitedly held their hands, with tears filling his eyes!
Soon, several people went to the procuratorate one after another. When everyone arrived, Liu Bei looked at the people below, bowed, and then spoke:
"Although Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, his family has fallen into decline. I am ashamed of my ancestors. Fortunately, you have never left me, and I have achieved what I am today. Now that I, Xuzhou, have reached the point of life and death, I ask everyone to express their opinions and spend this time together. A difficult time!"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth!"
"Second General, don't be anxious. My subordinates feel that we should not face him directly at this time, but should regard peace as the most important thing!" Jian Yong said.
"That's easy to say. Cao Cao's thieves are already overwhelming the enemy. How can peace be valuable?" Zhang Fei had a fiery temper and couldn't help but say.
Everyone was talking to each other, and seeing the scene gradually becoming chaotic, Liu Bei coughed twice, and the hall gradually became quiet. Liu Bei looked down at Chen Deng, who had never said a word, frowning in thought, and took the initiative to ask: " Yuan Long thinks, how should we in Xuzhou face this?"
Chen Deng looked up at Liu Bei, and then at Zhang Fei who hesitated to speak.
"This is the time to unite as one. Yuan Long doesn't have to be shy. If you have any ideas, just say it, it doesn't matter!" Liu Bei said sternly.
"My subordinate has a question. Please inform Master Zhou Mu as this is related to my future in Xuzhou!"
Liu Bei was also a smart man, so he naturally knew when Chen Deng was asking. He cleared his throat and Liu Bei spoke loudly: "When Bei was alone with His Majesty in the palace, Your Majesty did often cry and complain about being a treacherous person, but... Bei I swear in the name of my ancestors that I have never received the so-called 'clothes edict'! This matter is completely false!"
Hearing this, Chen Deng breathed a long sigh of relief and continued: "In that case, who do you think spread the so-called 'clothing edict'?"
"It should be Cao Cao, looking for a reason to attack me, Xuzhou!" Guan Yu replied.
"In this case, I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, to deal with the current situation!"
After saying that, Chen Deng came to the center of the hall, raised his hands and said loudly: "The next step is to prepare with strong troops and horses, ask for help from Yuan Shao, and recognize Liu He's orthodox status! In this way, we can completely break up with Cao Cao, and let Cao Cao see me Xuzhou is unanimously determined to fight against the outside world. Even if Cao Cao plans to invade Xuzhou on a large scale, he still has to weigh the pros and cons!"
"But in this case, wouldn't the decision-making power rest with Cao and Yuan?" Mi Zhu asked with a frown.
"Indeed, that's why Deng thinks this is the next best thing!" Chen Deng replied.
"Where's Zhongce?" Sun Qian asked from the side.
"Zhou Mu has publicly stated that the so-called dress edict is a lie. To show his loyalty, Master Zhou Mu is willing to take the initiative to fight for the imperial court and go to annihilate Yuan Shu in Yangzhou! And Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Yangzhou for many years. He can be said to have strong soldiers and horses, and it is definitely not one side. The forces can be wiped out. At that time, Zhou Mu will take the lead and order Liu Biao, Liu Yao and others from the surrounding areas to jointly send troops in the name of Xiandi. Cao Cao will not only eliminate Yuan Shu without spending a single soldier, but also weaken the strength of the surrounding princes. It is also a pleasure to think about it. We will see the results. The disadvantage of this strategy is that it can only solve the urgent need. After Yuan Shu is wiped out, we still have to face the next situation!"
Everyone said nothing, thinking about what Chen Deng said. Then he looked at Chen Deng, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"At that time, the power of the imperial court was controlled by Dong Zhuo. Although King Hongnong was the king of a country, he was like a fish swimming in the shallows, and it was difficult for fortune to do anything."
Seeing everyone's gaze, Chen Deng smiled slightly and turned to talk about an unrelated matter. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but no one interrupted, and listened to Chen Deng continue to talk.
"The decline of the Han Dynasty is an indisputable fact. Even if Dong Zhuo is gone, Zhang Zhuo and Li Zhuo will appear again! Faced with this unsolvable situation, King Hongnong endured humiliation and even had an affair with Dong Zhuo's favorite granddaughter in order to break the situation. There was a dark knot in the bead, and finally his granddaughter cried and begged Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo had no choice but to let them go!
Everyone knew about the situation of King Hongnong after that. He kept silent, secretly gathered forces, gained the trust of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, relied on Dong Bai's relationship to get the support of Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and even went into danger alone in order to capture Yizhou! After experiencing several near-death situations, we have gained the momentum we have today! "
After listening to Chen Deng's story, everyone pondered.
Liu Bei was the first to react. He raised his hands and said, "Mr. Yuan Long's intention is clear. If you have any suggestions, it doesn't matter!"
"The best thing I can do is that the state pastor still needs to publicly declare that the so-called clothing and belt edict is a myth. In fact, it is the words of someone who deliberately ruins the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. In order to show his innocence..."
"No!!" Everyone in the audience blurted out, but Liu Bei was thoughtful...
...
Xuchang-Sikongfu
"My lord is really smart. If Liu Xuande knew the situation, he would share Sikong's worries and take the initiative to destroy Yuan Shu! Of course, if he didn't know the situation, Dun wouldn't mind leading the troops himself and directly conquering Xuzhou!" Xiahou Dun said with a sneer.
"Jiayi admires the lord's courage. Whether Liu Bei is the Queen of Zhongshan Jing is still open to question. The lord actually directly revealed that Liu Bei is a remnant of Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others. In this way, although it can be regarded as an indirect recognition of the identity of the Queen of Shan Jing, , but it can be considered as putting it directly on the forefront of the storm! How wonderful!" Guo Jia echoed from the side.
"That's right, Cao Cao's biggest rivals are just Yuan Shao and King Hongnong. Yuan Shao annexed Youzhou and would hardly have the energy to conquer the south in less than four or five years. With only King Hongnong, Cao Cao couldn't understand why he formed an alliance with Ma Chao. It makes sense that Cao Cao still doesn't understand this from the beginning of the Western Region Protectorate. Fengxiao, what do you think the purpose of King Hongnong's move is?" Cao Cao smiled and looked at Guo Jiaxun and asked.
"Excuse Jia for being stupid. When King Hongnong first conquered Yizhou and Nanping Mengda, he did need four or five years to recuperate. Whether it was the Salesian Department, the School, etc., or the recently established Publishing Department, although there was a suspicion of buying people's hearts. , but after all, Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains and has little impact on us. On the contrary, Ma Chao's Liangzhou has many people yearning for it!
As for the Protectorate of the Western Regions, on the surface it seemed that they were ready to settle down in a corner of the country and shift their focus to the west. However... since they parted by the Huai River that day, King Hongnong gave people the impression of an antelope hanging its horns. There is no trace to be found... maybe there is a deeper meaning that is unknown. "
There are still some things Guo Jia didn't say. After all, after receiving the incredible inheritance about the four dragon masters in his dream that day, Guo Jia had a feeling that the world was not as simple as he had seen before! As for He Sian, Guo Jia naturally knows a lot about him. Rather than saying that the current King Hongnong gives people an unfathomable feeling, it is better to say that he seems to have changed since King Hongnong faked his death and escaped!
The biggest change in Guo Jia now is the perspective of looking at the problem. If he used to stand on Cao Cao's interests, then now Guo Jia looks at the problem more from the standpoint of the entire Central Plains, and King Hongnong A series of actions seemed to be traceless, but Guo Jia saw the way.
Nothing more than two words 'Order! '
But what the Central Plains lacks most nowadays is order! And from He Sian's various behaviors, it was not difficult for Guo Jia to see that the other party was in an urgent mood, as if there was a sense that time was not waiting for us...
And what makes Guo Jia most uneasy is that the inheritance also mentions an important point: whenever a disaster is approaching, the four dragon masters will appear, and the word "disaster" is particularly harsh.
Whether it was inheritance or He Sian's recent abnormal behavior, Guo Jia could easily get an important piece of information. He Sian might have a different identity from him, but... from the perspective of the people of the Central Plains, they were definitely friends, not enemies.
'Hey... I, Guo Jia, where should I go...'
