"You secretly slander the Lord every day. What, are you a rebel in your heart?"
Dian Wei frowned when he heard this: "Where? I am a loyal minister."
"Don't do it next time!" Zhang Han glared at him arrogantly, and at the same time added in his mind that you won't agree unless I verbally excite you first.
"Hehe," Dian Wei showed a kind smile and whispered: "I haven't drunk anything during the two meals today. The night is still long. Sir, let's go back and have some wine?"
"Prohibition!" Zhang Han glared at him, "Have a drink."
…
Back home, Su Wei came to tell Mr. Cao that he had sent people to move away the hundreds of jars of wine stored in the wine cellar in the backyard today.
"My lord said that since Suwei camp has issued a ban on alcohol, we should implement it to the end and send these fine wines from the Qiao Kingdom to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service."
Zhang Han and Dian Wei looked at each other for a long time, their eyes obviously blaming each other.
Zhang Han blamed him for not hiding the wine well. He had long asked him to find another suburban manor and hide the wine there, unless he was lazy. Dian Wei blamed the stupid prohibition on alcohol. Gone.
he~tui! Cao thief!
Zhang Han suddenly began to exult in his heart, but he still said sincerely, "My lord has done the right thing, and it should be distributed to other soldiers who have made meritorious services."
"To raise soldiers, you must cultivate friendship and friendship on a daily basis before they can be used for a while."
After resting for three days, Zhang Han dispatched Gao Shun from Xiahou Dun's army to accompany him, and moved forward with 800 horses.
Zhang Han had no time to think about certain things during the march. It was not until he stopped to rest by the river on the outskirts of a city that he finally understood some of Cao Cao's intentions.
He placed a stone in front of him and talked about the situation to himself. There was a general with a tall and handsome appearance and a solemn face looking at his hands behind his back and listening carefully. He was discussing and talking with Zhang Han along the way.
Dian Wei went down to catch fish as soon as he reached the river. By now he had reached the center of the river.
This general is naturally Gao Shun.
Zhang Han placed the three stones in a triangle and said: "The common people, the local noble families, and the Danyang soldiers are divided into three factions."
"Tao Qian took office because the Danyang soldiers were his team. After suppressing the rebellion in the territory, they stabilized the country and thus won the support of the noble families, such as the Chen family."
"But if you want to escape the control of the common people, you need to rely on other factions to check and balance the appointment of officials, so you support the talented people from the common people."
"In other words, Tao Qian used hard support to achieve a three-party trade-off, and they were able to gradually withdraw from each other; while I, Yanzhou, achieved it by advocating meritocracy, but everyone's goal is the same. "
In order to reduce the control of the family and regain some control power, that is to centralize power.
The world is in turmoil, and I am the leader of one party. However, I still need to obey the control of your family. Otherwise, the officials under me will immediately act against you, and there will be a shortage of soldiers, food and grass, and I will be controlled by others. Then what is the purpose of starting a business? ? Just sad?
"As for Sun Qian, although he was born in the commoner sect, he is a disciple of the great scholar Zheng Xuan. He is quite famous and can be called a figure in this lineage."
You can imagine how much energy and money their entire family has to spend for the status of "Zheng Xuan's disciples", even if it is just a quota for a disciple in a big classroom.
Not only his Sun family, but anyone who is not from a noble family but has worked hard to get to this position, they have invested too much, it can be called a big gamble! You must not be able to afford to lose.
"The common people are trying to balance the local aristocratic Chen family. The two parties are in a competitive relationship, and among the common people, there are other families that can be supported..." At this point, Zhang Han raised his head and looked at Gao Shun, Said: "Mi family."
Gao Shun's beard twitched for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded lightly and said, "Not bad."
"Oh? Brother Gao knows about the Mi family?"
"I don't know."
Then you are a good guy... Zhang Han thought he had connections, but the way he spoke gave people the illusion that he was very powerful.
Be calm, concise and to the point, nod and smile first whether you know it or not, admit it frankly when asked... I learned it.
However, Zhang Han also thought about this section and had some countermeasures in mind. At the same time, he understood the good intentions of Cao Cao and Jijiu.
No matter which party you come to recruit on this trip, you can always get something. Sun, Mi, and Chen Deng are all possible.
But Chen Deng does not represent the Chen family. After all, they are a wealthy family and cannot be compared to each other.
"It should be no problem, I already have good luck," Zhang Han looked at his [Heart] attribute that was no longer empty, but had one more [Qi Luck: 5], maybe Will something good happen?
Snap.
Just when I had this thought, a fish jumped in from the shallow bank between the three stones that I had just placed, and flapped around.
Zhang Han: "..."
…
Xuzhou, Xiapi.
Liu Bei led 3,000 troops from Gongsun Zan to rush for reinforcements. He had 1,800 elite troops under his command, and the rest were funded by Gongsun Zan.
Before leaving, Liu Bei specially asked for the commander of the Suwei Cavalry beside him, Zhao Yun, named Zilong.
After the four brothers arrived in Xuzhou, they came with great interest. After arriving, Liu Bei frowned and found that things were not simple.
Cao Cao did not massacre or plunder the city. Every time he captured a city, he immediately benefited the people, reduced taxes, and even released grain to support the people.
What does this mean? It means that he did what he wanted to do, and Tao Qian became a thief.
There are constant rumors in the country, and there are two main ones circulating. One is that Tao Qian and Que Xuan were originally a group, trying to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish themselves, and they were the first to disrespect the Han Dynasty. However, they were forced by Cao Cao's army and had to kill Que Xuan and pay Cao Cao a large amount of money. Money, food and people; the second is that Tao Qian had a grudge and intended to kill Cao Cao's father in order to plunder the Cao family's property.
Both of these rumors are extremely detrimental to Tao Qian. If Liu Bei and Tao Qian were on the same front at this time, they would probably be unable to argue with each other.
But no matter what, when Liu Bei came to Xuzhou and heard about Cao Cao's behavior, he was shocked. This was definitely not Cao Cao's style, but the people unanimously pointed their fingers at Tao Qian and said that Cao Cao was benevolent and righteous.
Something is wrong.
Because of this, after Liu Bei came to Xuzhou to garrison, he was simply on pins and needles.
Inside the mansion, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, who was handsome and handsome in silver helmets, walked together in the inner courtyard. Behind the two of them was a Confucian scholar, who was slightly old and thin, with a fearless but rather arrogant expression.
After returning from abroad, the two people's expressions were not right. Zhao Yun was even a little pale and dull, his aura was like an empty sack, and he could not stand up straight.
When he came to the main hall, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Xuan De Gong, I defected to Youzhou from Changshan in order to pursue a place where benevolence and righteousness are promoted. Now General Gongsun has lost the hearts of the people by killing Liu Youzhou. He just ordered me to help. Northern Territory Everyone thought that Xuzhou was being plotted, and Tao Ding made the same statement when he came to ask for help, but after he came, it was Tao Gongzu who conspired against others and coveted other people's property, which caused this war."
"Mr. To the point where the civil and military forces in Xuzhou are powerless."
"Thus, although the marching order is to follow Duke Xuande to help Xuzhou, Zilong cannot bear to see his brothers and soldiers die because of this. He hopes that Duke Xuande will consider it."
His words were so sonorous and powerful, which meant that he had made up his mind. Liu Bei had a majestic appearance, elegant manners, and majestic posture. At this time, he looked at Zhao Yun, his voice was majestic and low, and he smiled and said: "I heard what Zilong said, I plan to go back." ?”
"What do you think, Duke Xuande?" Zhao Yun did not express his opinion immediately, but gave an ambiguous answer to ask Liu Bei's opinion.
In his opinion, Liu Bei is definitely a benevolent king, and his choices when faced with such situations are naturally different. At the same time, the two fell in love with each other when they were in Youzhou, so they took this opportunity to ask questions.
Liu Bei laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder hard several times, and said: "I have indeed read Zilong correctly, and it is not in vain that I asked brother Bogui again and again. However, since I have agreed to the personnel, I should put an end to the war as my duty." . As for me, ha, since I have come, I will make peace with myself and I will naturally not leave. But if Zilong wants to go back, my second and third brothers, I, and I will hold a banquet to see him off."
"No," Zhao Yun looked slightly comforted when he heard this. On the contrary, he became a little embarrassed and said with his fists in his hands: "What Mr. Xuande said is indeed reasonable. It is our duty to end the war. Besides, this is just the words of the people of Xuzhou. , Mr. Tao also talked about his difficulties, but we still don’t know which one is right and which one is wrong..."
Zhao Yun was troubled, actually because the situation in Xuzhou was not what he thought. He could rush to the aid of the righteous army and defeat Cao Cao's hegemony, but they were implicitly standing in the position of the unjust army.
In addition, Zhao Yun has not returned to his hometown since he defected to Baima, Youzhou. He has not seen his eldest brother for many years. Zhao Yun is also homesick and planned to come to Xuzhou this time to help. Regardless of victory or defeat, he will return to his hometown to see his eldest brother after everything calms down.
Now that the situation was like this, his enthusiasm was waning, which made him want to retreat again. However, Xuande Gong's words made him calm down a little and make peace with what he had come.
The two of them were about to enter the hall and sit down to discuss it in detail. However, a school swordsman behind him hurriedly walked in. He caught up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Tao Xuzhou has sent people to chase you. Please be sure to come again." Go to the government office."
Liu Bei's eyes sank, and he immediately turned around and frowned, feeling slightly uneasy.
…
Xiaopei.
Xi Zhicai led his troops back to this city to settle down. As soon as Zhang Han moved into his house, he received the news and came to meet him, taking Sun Qian with him.
After Sun Qian was captured, except for one day when he was treated a little slightly and was whipped a few times, Xi Zhi always treated him with courtesy.
"Gongyou, Bo Chang came here with my Lord's wishes. You can have a few more drinks with him tonight. If you change your mind, you can tell him at any time."
When Sun Qian heard this, he just smiled lightly and nodded, but did not express his position. However, Zhang Bochang's handsome and elegant face immediately appeared in his mind.
But he is a bit arrogant, and yes..., his surname is Zhang, arrogant Zhang.
The situation in Xuzhou is precarious. It depends on what his ambition is, and then he listens to his plans and plans before making a decision. If he is incompetent and mediocre, he can just be conciliatory, Sun Qian thought.
