Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1172

Either the east overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. This is not a joke.All those who once regarded this sentence as a joke, at that point in time, eventually became a joke.

In fact, under the circumstances at the time, were people in the east or west wind able to freely choose many things?When the wind from the upwind increases, how many people can be as steady as a sea god needle and stay still?

Liu Bei is no exception.

The strong wind is coming, and Liu Bei is just above the wind.

"Hahaha, big brother! Here I come!!"

Far away in the Chinese military tent of the big camp outside Xiapi City, Xuzhou, I only heard the sound of laughter suddenly coming from the former camp, and went straight into the Chinese military tent. Less than any soundproofing effect.

Hearing a sound of horseshoes came to the tent of the Chinese army, then the guards opened the curtain of the tent, and a big man strode in. He had a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, and two curved willow-leaf brows... um, wrong Oh, I went to the wrong set. It should be eight feet long, with a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard...

The light inside the big tent was a little dim. As soon as Zhang Fei entered the big tent, he cupped his hands towards Liu Bei and Guan Yu, then ran to the side a few steps, grabbed the water jar, and raised his hand without using a wooden spoon. Gudu Gudu drank most of the can, wiped his beard, smiled at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and hiccupped a big water, "Ha, Shu Tan...I'm so thirsty..."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, glanced at Zhang Fei, and then silently pointed to the table.

At this time, as his eyesight gradually got used to the dimness in the tent, Zhang Fei saw that three bowls had been placed on the table, and four bean plates, filled with dried meat and dried fruits, etc. Things, the most important thing is that there is a sealed wine jar beside the table...

What a big jar of wine!

"Oh..." Zhang Fei stared at the wine jar, then lowered his head to stare at the pitcher in his hand, then looked up at the wine jar, rubbed his belly, and finally let out a sigh of regret and regret.

"Third brother, you should be more or less calm..." Guan Yu said with some dissatisfaction, "How many times have you said this? Now that you are in Xuzhou, it should be more so than in Pingyuan County..."

"Well, it's better to be calm..." Liu Bei waved his hands and said with a smile, "But today, we are all my brothers, so there is no need to be formal. Come, third brother, sit down..."

"Hey!" Zhang Fei hurriedly agreed when he heard the words, put the jug away, and then sat down in front of the table in two steps, looking at the wine jar eagerly.

"Well, let's open it..." Liu Bei pointed to the wine jar at Zhang Fei, and then said slowly, "This time, let the two virtuous brothers come here, in addition to celebrating the retreat of Cao Jun and the completion of our trip, There is one more thing... I also want to discuss with the two virtuous brothers... Well, let's pour the wine first..."

"You and I, three brothers," Liu Bei held up the wine bowl, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "From Taoyuan to Suanzao, then to Gaotang, Pingyuan, and now to Xuzhou, this journey has been thanks to the inseparability of the two virtuous brothers." Abandon, support each other... Come, win and drink!"

Guan Yu finished his drink, stroked his long beard, and said, "Brother, if something is difficult, you might as well speak up."

"You two virtuous brothers..." Liu Bei pondered for a moment, put down his wine bowl, and said, "...Mi Zizhong came to visit yesterday, and said that Tao Xuzhou wanted to show that someone was the governor of Yuzhou... Tun Xiaopei..."

"Really! That's great! Hahaha...haha...uh..." Zhang Fei was beaming with joy, and after laughing a few times, seeing that neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu was smiling, he turned the big laugh into a small laugh, and finally Embarrassed, he stopped laughing.

Seeing Guan Yu frowning, Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu had probably understood what he meant, so he turned to Zhang Fei and explained patiently: "Third brother...do you still remember the assassin in Pingyuan...in Xuzhou, it is even better. One deal..."

"That guy dares to touch Big Brother?" Zhang Fei subconsciously stared at his eyes and said, only to realize halfway through the speech, he couldn't help but "ah", and continued to ask hesitantly, "Ah... Big Brother, what do you mean... ...the gentry Haoyou from Xuzhou..."

Liu Bei nodded, sighed and said, "How big is Pingyuan, how big is Xuzhou? Whether it's the governor of Yuzhou or the shepherd of Xuzhou, it's not so easy to be a... Two virtuous brothers, think about it, if it weren't for the situation in Xuzhou, it would have been rotten." , why bother to come to seek help from this outsider?"

Guan Yu nodded and said, "This matter is something I'm thinking about...Although Mi Zizhong is a special driver, he was born in a merchant... If Tao Xuzhou was not available, how could he be hired as a special driver? Tao Xuzhou is unpopular , it can be seen... What's more, if you garrison Xiaopei, you will be the dog of Xuzhou's household..."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Tao Xuzhou mostly uses people from Danyang, and it is reasonable to have a slight discord with people from Xuzhou... However, in Xuzhou, there are many outstanding people. The Lu family and others are all from a family of scriptures, and they are not officials in Xuzhou. This is unavoidable... In addition, Danyang is also a bit chaotic... Biao is the governor of Yuzhou... This time I want to set a certain on the fire. ..."

After a moment of silence, Guan Yu suddenly said, "Brother...Cao Pingdong's father died on the way. There is something strange about this..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei also nodded.

There is no hatred for no reason, and no love for no reason. The longer you spend in society, the more you know that love at first sight is a hormonal-driven feeling, so fragile, just like the area in Xuzhou However, the foundation under Tao Qian's throne is also crumbling in the face of reality.

Although Tao Qian is Xuzhou Mu, if you exclude those counties that are only nominally owned but have no actual control, then Tao Qian can control only two or three counties, and most of the rest are is free.

Tao Qian could not beat Cao Cao, and he has not been able to completely control the situation in Xuzhou for so many years. This fact is almost on the table, and everyone can see clearly...

Although there is no direct evidence, Liu Bei feels that Tao Qian was definitely tricked by the vicious murder case that occurred in Tao Qian's territory before.

Liu Bei asked Tao Qian about this matter, and it turned out that Tao Qian was going to send someone to send Cao Song to Cao Cao's place. On the way, something happened. Tao Qian just smeared yellow mud on the crotch of his trousers...

The reason why Tao Qian sent Cao Song to Cao Cao was undoubtedly because he wanted to ease the relationship with Cao Cao and show some kindness, but obviously, some people didn't want to see this kindness.

As for who did it, Tao Qian also has conjectures, but there is no evidence.

And this governor of Yuzhou was the answer Tao Qian gave, and it was also the question Tao Qian handed to Liu Bei...

Either the east wind or the west wind, anyway, the position of governor of Yuzhou is above this big wind.

It's just that the Xuzhou under Tao Qian's own rule is in a mess, so what strength can the governor of Yuzhou who is recommended by him be able to do?Apart from a name, Liu Bei can't actually get much benefit. Tao Qian also knew this, so he sent Mi Zhu to test it out.

If Liu Bei is willing, everyone is happy, but if Liu Bei is not willing, then it will be regarded as Mizhu's persuasion failed, and the hatchback will not be embarrassed when they meet again...

The question is, knowing that the road is so deep, do you still want to go there?
After a long time, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, poured wine for the three of them again, and said, "No matter what, the governor of Yuzhou! After all, it is an official rank of two thousand shi! The younger brother only uses this wine to congratulate the elder brother! So much before! Isn’t the wind and rain coming? No matter what the trouble, as long as you have a horse on your back and a spear in your hand, even if you are facing thousands of troops, the little brother will still accompany the big brother, no matter what!”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, then looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, looked at the wine jar on the table, and said with emotion: "What the third brother said is true! Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​blood, I will kill my brother with my brother!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands together, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "So, I have allowed Mi Zizhong to break through this mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire! Come on, two virtuous brothers, drink to win!"

The three picked up the wine bowls, touched them in the air, and drank them all together.

Guan Yu put down the wine bowl, lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhang Fei, then at the wine jar beside the table, and sighed in his heart: Such an obvious answer, so I have to think twice... Although the third brother is rough, but this There are times when the mind is delicate...

....................................

"Father, the Mizi came to Liu Pingyuan's camp yesterday..." Chen Deng took the tea spoon, scooped the tea soup from the cauldron, and then poured the black tea soup into the bowl. In the middle, he said without any haste, "...Today, Mi Zizhong admonished Tao Shijun, please represent Liu Pingyuan as the governor of Yuzhou, stationed in Xiaopei..."

"Inspector of Yuzhou...Xiao Pei..." Chen Gui stroked his gray beard, half-closed his eyes, pondered for a while, then suddenly sneered and said, "This old man... is really good at contingency..."

Chen Gui looked up at the sky, smiled and continued to mutter: "The direction of the wind is about to change..."

After Dong Zhuoxi left Chang'an, the Kwantung princes split up, with Er Yuan as the two major forces.

The land of Xuzhou happened to be sandwiched between the northern and southern Yuans. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao were on the same side, and Yuan Shu, Gong, and Sun Jian were on the other side. Perhaps it was because Tao Qian and Sun Jian were more or less comrades-in-arms when they were in the northwest, or there were other considerations, anyway. At the beginning, Tao Qian felt that the second son of the Yuan family had a better chance of winning, so he placed Yuan Shu on his side.

In the beginning, Tao Qian joined forces with Gongsun Zan in the north, together with Tian Kai in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei in Pingyuan to attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's allied forces. Everyone knew the result. Not to mention the mobilization of the army, Cao Cao took care of him from beginning to end. If Zhang Miao and Lu Bu were not there After stabbing Cao Cao in the back, he might be completely defeated now...

Now the purpose of presenting Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, one is on the bright side, everyone can see it, Xiao Pei is in the front, as Xuzhou's watchdog; another role is hidden in the dark...

Chen Deng nodded and said: "...My child thinks so too... But, my lord... Zhang Zibu has gone south..."

"Zhang Zibu?" Chen Gui frowned.

Zhang Zhao is also a well-known figure in Xuzhou, so after Tao Qian first arrived in Xuzhou, he recruited Zhang Zhao. Originally, he thought that Zhang Zhao's coming would be a sure thing, but things did not go as Tao Qian imagined. Zhang Zhao not only rejected Tao Qian's recruitment, he even wrote a big-character poster and made many remarks, saying that Tao Qian was incompetent and not enough to rule Xuzhou...

Tao Qian thought he had been insulted, so he ordered Zhang Zhao to be arrested.However, under Zhao Yu's protection, Zhang Zhao did not fall into Tao Qian's hands in the end, and his family went south some time ago...

"Where did you go?" Chen Gui asked noncommittally.

Chen Deng said: "I heard that I went to Liyang..."

"Ahaha..." Chen Gui laughed loudly, "So, Yuan Da is in trouble..."

Yuan Da is Zhao Yu's character.Zhao Yu let Zhang Zhao go, and now Zhang Zhao actually went to vote for Sun Ce, didn't he just make it clear that the chariots and horses were going to fight Tao Qian to the end?
So what should Zhao Yu, who is still under Tao Qian, do?
What is it if it is not difficult?
Tao Qian is not a person who can be submissive, and even has some revenge.The same is true for recommending Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou...

It's just this fine tradition of vengeance, and who isn't?
Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao was not recruited because he was slighted and insulted, but in turn Tao Qian arrested Zhang Zhao, why didn't Zhang Zhao think that he was also humiliated?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhang Zhao to join Sun Ce.

Although Yuan Shu didn't express it directly, it can be inferred from various signs that the Sun family seems to be Yuan Shu's candidate to replace Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou...

Tao Qian was from Danyang, and he was in charge of the soldiers of Danyang. Some of the officials in Xuzhou are also from Danyang. It can be said that after leaving Danyang, Tao Qian was like a tree without roots.

However, Yuan Shu gave the prefect of Danyang to Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing, and then asked Sun Ce to go to Danyang to recruit soldiers...

Now Sun Ce is training troops in Liyang, and is preparing to march into Jiangdong to attack Wang Lang and Liu Yao. If the crusade is successful, where can he arrange for meritorious ministers?

Perhaps in Yuan Shu's eyes, since Tao Qian can't even handle Cao Cao, the boss of the Yuan family, what's the use?Occupying the latrine and not shitting?

People of later generations might get used to Yuan Shu who wanted to be eliminated at the bottom, and would consider it normal, but in the Han Dynasty, such behavior naturally aroused Tao Qian's extreme dissatisfaction.

In the front, he worked so hard for Yuan Shu's foundation, and his old nest was almost taken out. As a result, Yuan Shu changed hands and gave all the land and contacts in his hometown to the Sun family. How could Tao Qian not have some other ideas?

Tao Qian, with a cold heart, played Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, which was a signal released by Tao Qian.

Of course, the more important thing is that he can't beat Cao Cao from the front, and it's good that Liu Bei can withstand thunder in the front to some extent...

"Then..." Chen Gui smiled again, picked up the tea bowl, tested the temperature, then drank it all in one gulp, and said, "So, if you send some beef wine over tomorrow, you have the right to congratulate Liu Yuzhou!"

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Then, Father...we..."

However, Chen Gui shook his head, pointed to the rock in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "East wind and west wind are unpredictable, but can the rock in the courtyard move? It can only be changed for a while, but not forever..."

　This chapter is not easy to write...

　　The author has changed it three or five times...

　　Some people may think that this is not the Three Kingdoms, but so be it...

　　Just to add by the way:
　　When Liu Yao took office, at first he was helped by Wu Jing and Sun Ben, so he gained a firm foothold, but soon, maybe because he was just pretending to be a snake, or because he felt that he already had some strength, Liu Yao immediately turned his face Denying people, starting to expel those appointed by Yuan Shu, that is, attacking Wu Jing and Sun Ben...

　　The switch between east wind and west wind is so convenient.

　　Why do you always feel loyalty, loyalty, and feelings when watching the Three Kingdoms? That is because things are rare and precious...
