Besides, since Liu Bei was taught a lesson by Yuan Shao when he rescued Gongsun Zan last time, he has understood a truth, that is, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he cannot survive by relying on his own identity. In addition to your own background, you must also have corresponding strength, otherwise it will be just a passing cloud!
I understand better that my identity as a Han clan member is not omnipotent. Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were fooled by this identity, it was not enough. Now the world is dominated by the Han Dynasty. Although it is a little declining, the centipede is still alive. In this era, there were only eight hundred people with Han family clan status, if not one thousand, so it was nothing.
If you want to make a difference in troubled times and realize your ambitions, you need the support of talents. Not only generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but also the assistance of wise men are needed. All kinds of talents must be recruited.
After understanding this, Liu Bei followed Yuan Shao's example and issued a recruitment order in the plains. I hope I can recruit some great talents and use them for my own use, so that it will be easier to realize my dreams.
It's a pity that the plains are just a small area for Jizhou. Liu Bei's own identity, family background, and reputation are far different from Yuan Shao. The recruitment order has been issued for several months, but not a single decent talent has been found, not even qualified soldiers. It is really a failure.
Fortunately, God rewards hard work, and it is also fate. As Liu Bei waited and waited, his good friend Jian Yong came to join him. Finally, Liu Bei got a decent talent, and also broke the breakthrough of his subordinate Fengchen Rei. This made Liu Bei feel sad and happy, and at the same time strengthened his determination to seek talents. He secretly swore that once he met a great talent, he would use any means necessary and would not let him go without mercy.
After acquiring Jian Yong, he added his good brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the only two generals under Liu Bei, plus the five thousand troops borrowed from Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei finally felt confident. He could flex his muscles in the next step and plan carefully how to capture Qingzhou.あ奇奇影院觧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1) <First release, domain name, please remember
When he knew that he could not recruit soldiers, it was because of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Almost all the strong men in Qingzhou had joined the Yellow Turbans, so he was so embarrassed. Suddenly he had an idea, he could wipe out the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. In this way, both food, grass and troops can be solved. Of course, he is not the only one to think of this method. His allies and opponents also do this, which we will learn later.
When Liu Bei expressed his idea of crusading against the Yellow Turbans, he received unanimous approval from his subordinates. Zhang Fei even clamored to kill them all and unify Qingzhou. While they were discussing, they suddenly heard their soldiers coming over to report that Sun Qian of Beihai had come over under the orders of Kong Rong to invite him to join him in dealing with the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.
This made Liu Bei very happy. He really got what he wanted. After Guan Yu and Jian Yong found out, they were also very happy. It seemed that the eldest brother was very popular and had a good reputation. Otherwise, why would Kong Rong invite his eldest brother to deal with the Yellow Turbans together? If we jointly send troops like this, we will definitely defeat the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Great things can be expected.
After Sun Qian and Taishi Ci arrived, they explained the specific situation. Only then did Liu Bei realize that there was a slight deviation from their understanding. It turned out to be to rescue Beihai. Although a bit disappointing, this is not a bad opportunity. So Liu Bei didn't hesitate and agreed at that time. Let Guan Yu gather his troops and set out to rescue Beihai in three days.
This efficiency, this decisiveness, this is a proper act of a wise king. At that time, Sun Qian and Taishi Ci were very fond of Liu Bei, and they admired Liu Bei very much. Especially Sun Qian, he is a person who is a little unwilling to be ordinary. He knows that Kong Rong is not the master of the business, and has been looking for the master of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to show his ambition. Isn't this Liu Bei the Ming Zhu he longs for?
So Sun Qian was a little moved, and he felt very close to Liu Bei as he spoke, and kept asking about Liu Bei's affairs. This performance is obvious. Liu Bei already knew Sun Qian's thoughts when he hosted them for the first time. This made Liu Bei very happy. He was so sleepy that he came to the pillow. Isn't this what he needs?
So, he stayed with Sun Gannui, chatting every day, and used tricks to conquer his brothers, hoping to recruit Sun Qian. Liu Bei also liked Taishi Ci, a fierce general. He didn't let it go, and he didn't forget to conquer Sun Qian while talking about the past and the present. At the same time, let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei take turns entertaining Tai Shici, competing with him, practicing military training, and deepening their relationship. I hope they can be used for me!
This was so effective that Liu Bei fooled Sun Qian into getting it within three days. Maybe they hit it off right away. Sun Qian has clearly surrendered to Liu Bei, and this time he has given him advice, just like Liu Bei's military advisor. As for Kong Rong, he had long been forgotten by Sun Qian. Although Taishi Ci was not as quick to conquer as Sun Qian, through the reception over the past few days, it was obvious that Taishi Ci was yearning for Liu Bei, which was really embarrassing. After all, he came here to move reinforcements, so it would be a bit unreasonable to recognize him as the master now. It’s better to wait until the siege of Beihai is resolved and worry about these things! Qiqi's first release on the entire network
Taishi Ci's idea reached Liu Bei's ears through Zhang Fei. After Liu Bei found out, he discussed it with Sun Qian. Sun Qian agreed very much with his lord Liu Bei's idea of recruiting Tai Shici. Since ancient times, those who achieve great things must recruit people. He also gave Liu Bei some advice, telling him not to be anxious. If Taishi Ci couldn't run away, he would become a general under his lord sooner or later. Now it is better to go to Beihai for help and solve the siege of Beihai first.
Liu Bei understood and expressed his understanding. At that time, at Sun Qian's suggestion, he took Guan Yu, Sun Qian, and Taishi Ci, and gathered all 5,000 men under his command to meet the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. As for Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, they were left in their old nest. On the one hand, they recruited troops and on the other hand, they guarded the plains, thinking that they were the foundation of the army. After giving the order, although Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't stand his elder brother's repeated persuasion, so he had to accept the order and stay in the plain.
However, on the fifth day, the army arrived at Beihai. Seeing that the Yellow Turbans were in a hurry to attack the city, Beihai seemed to be unable to defend it. As soon as Liu Bei and Sun Qian gathered together, they divided their troops into two groups and asked Guan Yu to take his five thousand elite troops to the east gate, bypass Guan Hai's back, and launch an attack. Liu Bei, Taishi Ci and Sun Qian fought through the west gate into Beihai, and joined forces with Kong Rong to fight out from the east gate. They attacked Guan Hai from both sides and defeated Guan Hai in one fell swoop.
After giving the order, Liu Bei and the others took action independently. Things went very smoothly. After Guan Hai knew that reinforcements were entering the city from Ximen, he wanted to gather a large army and go to Ximen to kill the enemy. But at this time, Guan Yu came behind him, and he had to divide his troops to meet the enemy and come over to deal with Guan Yu.
At the height of the duel between Guan Hai and Guan Yu, Liu Bei gathered all the troops in the city with Kong Rong, and launched a pincer attack from both front and rear. This caught Guan Hai off guard. Not only was he knocked off his horse by Guan Yu, but he was also captured alive by Guan Yu. Of course, this was all Liu Bei's instruction, otherwise Guan Hai would have been dead long ago. When the Yellow Turban Army under his command saw that Commander Qu had been captured and that a large army was coming out of the city, those who still had the guts to resist abandoned the city and fled. So Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and surrendered countless troops!
Just when Liu Bei was satisfied with his ambition, he was ready to continue to surrender Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, especially millions of people. However, Cao Cao, who had captured Yanzhou, had also reached Qingzhou, defeated other Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and surrendered a large part of the people.
This made Liu Bei a little angry. The duck that caught his mouth flew away. If you, Cao Cao, don't stay well in Yanzhou, why did you come to my Qingzhou? At that time, he personally led the army and called Guan Yu, Taishi Ci, and Sun Qian to meet Cao Cao and regain his position.
Before the two could fight, Cao Cao's backyard caught fire, and Lu Bu and Zhang Miao raided Yanzhou, leaving him almost homeless. So he sent his men to negotiate peace with Liu Bei and discuss dividing Qingzhou equally. At this time, Sun Qian also persuaded Liu Bei to accept it. It was not good to have a stalemate with Cao Cao here. After all, they still have a common enemy to deal with, and the behemoth Yuan Shao in the north has risen.
So, Cao Cao and Liu Bei divided Qingzhou equally. Cao Cao did not ask for a piece of land in Qingzhou, but only got most of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and later established the Qingzhou Army. And Liu Bei also got part of the Yellow Turbans and most of the land in Qingzhou in name only. It can be said that everyone is happy!
After Liu Bei returned to Beihai, he told everyone, including Kong Rong, about his and Cao Cao's decision. Seeing that Liu Bei's strength had greatly increased, Kong Rong didn't want to be on Mu Shou's side, so he took the opportunity to get off the donkey along the slope. Not only did he hand over the rule of Beihai to Liu Bei, he also handed over all the troops in Beihai. He no longer got involved in political affairs and concentrated on studying the classics of their Confucian family. Seeing that Kong Rong was well aware of current affairs, Liu Bei was very happy, so he naturally treated Kong Rong favorably and replaced him as a guest of honor!
As a result, Liu Bei instantly obtained Beihai, another relatively wealthy area in Qingzhou, and together with his own plain, he now had two counties. With tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, as well as the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who had not surrendered, and the civil servants and generals under his command, he immediately became the most powerful force in Qingzhou.
He began to stand out and truly became a prince. Now Liu Bei has finally risen!
