Chapter 164 The Real Coat

"Woooooo, General Yun, I finally met you today."

Jiangling, Guanping's temporary prefect's mansion has been crowded recently, and many Jingzhou aristocratic families have visited this Cao Jun general who has a close relationship with Ma Liang and Cai Mao, but among the group of people, the most conspicuous ones are not the ones who are dressed in fine clothes. Noble, but a ragged middle-aged scribe who looks like a beggar.

This scribe was extremely dirty from top to bottom, but his body was extremely agile. When Guan Ping was going out, he quickly emerged from the crowd and rushed towards Guan Ping.

Recently, Cao Zhi, who was all about currying favor with Guan Ping, had quick eyes and quick hands. He pinched the man by the shoulder and threw him aside. Then he drew the long sword from his waist, pointed at the bridge of the man's nose and shouted angrily:
"Who are you? How dare you attack General Yun!"

The man saw Cao Zhi's face clearly, and couldn't help crying loudly:
"My lord, look at me, I'm Liu Ba!"

"I am Liu Ba, I am Liu Ba!"

Guan Ping: ...

Liu Ba, from Lingling, a top celebrity in the Jingxiang area, a very top kind.

His grandfather was the prefect of Cangwu, and his father was the prefect of Jiangxia and the general of the gangsters. Liu Ba, who was born in a family of officials and officials since he was a child, was well-versed in poetry and books. It grows almost on top of the forehead.

Unlike most Jingzhou aristocratic families who are willing to follow Liu Bei, Liu Ba has always looked down on Liu Bei.

This is not because he has any conflict of interest with Liu Bei like Cai Mao, Liu Ba simply looks down on him.

The stinky people come to our Jingzhou to beg for food, what kind of things do you want me, Liu Ba, to serve you, but there is no way.

This is not aimed at Liu Bei alone. When Liu Biao was the shepherd of Jingzhou, all the Jingzhou clans were very generous. Only Liu Ba himself declined Liu Biao’s enlistment every day—what kind of things do you want me to come to our Jingzhou to beg for food? Liu Ba is serving you, and there is no door.

A few years ago, when Guan Ping was not in Yunshan, he followed Liu Bei to visit Liu Ba. As a result, Liu Ba kept his head up the whole time, speaking with a stick in his mouth. Guan Ping was so angry that he almost made a move.

But now Liu Ba is kneeling in front of him in fear and fear, with no expression on his face, and even desperately trying to show his ingratiating appearance, Guan Ping almost thinks that this guy has a brother with the same mother, and now he is pretending to be a brother. Come here to cheat yourself.

Cao Zhi watched for a long time before he recognized Liu Ba.

This Jingzhou celebrity couldn't wait to come to please Cao Cao when he went south, and was conscripted by Cao Cao as an official, and asked him to go to Jingnan to recruit the counties to surrender.

But because of Wulin's defeat, the matter naturally fell silent.Cao Zhi, who was with Cao Cao's army at that time, thought that Liu Ba had escaped or simply surrendered to Liu Bei, but he didn't expect to meet him again here.

"Liu, what's your word?" Cao Zhi asked casually, frowning.

Don't look at Cao Zhi trying to please Guan Ping in every possible way, even wanting to be a literary partner with Guan Ping, but he is Cao Cao's own son after all, a famous writer in the Central Plains, what kind of sick Confucian scholar has he never seen?Yang Xiu, Ding Yi, and Chen Qun all had eyes above their heads, and Cao Zhi talked and laughed happily with them.

From Cao Zhi's point of view, Liu Ba is just an ordinary wealthy family with a keen eye for fame and fame, and it would be nice to remember this type of person.

If Liu Bei looked like this in front of Liu Ba, Liu Ba could not wait to cut off with Liu Bei, but now it was Cao Zhi who was rude to Liu Ba, Liu Ba was not only not annoyed, but showed a very touched expression.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Without waiting for Cao Zhi to ask again, Liu Ba said as quickly as beans poured out of a bamboo tube:
"I was ordered by Duke Cao to go south to surrender the three counties. Jinxuan, the governor of Wuling, Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, all expressed their willingness to surrender to Duke Cao and were willing to do things for Duke Cao. Impermanence, Liu Bei came and surrendered.

A certain was loyal to Duke Cao and did not want to surrender to the mat weavers and shoe sellers, so he ran away desperately.

I wanted to go to Jiaozhou to join Shixie, but on the way, I heard that the general had taken over Jiangling. A certain man suddenly knew that this was a man protected by heaven, so he would rather pretend to be a beggar and escape all the way, begging to return to the Central Plains, and then work for Cao Gong. "

As he talked, Liu Ba recalled the hardships along the way, and couldn't help crying again.

"My lord, General Yun, give me another chance to die for the court. I, Liu Ba, will never hesitate to do so. I must be exhausted and dull, and I will devote myself to it..."

"Wait." Cao Zhi frowned, "Liu Ba, gossip slowly. Let me teach you one thing first - the Nanjun prefect is General Yun, and a certain is just an official in General Yun's mansion. You put me in Yun In front of the general, did you deliberately put me on the fire to put me in a difficult position with General Yun?"

"Humble, I don't dare to be humble. Please forgive me, General Yun and Young Master."

Guan Ping had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's an amazing feeling that the haughty celebrity you've tried so hard to woo should be so humbled in front of others.

If it was just Yunshan himself, Liu Ba probably wouldn't bother to look him in the eye.

But now that he has someone like Cao Zhi who is more famous and sicker than Liu Ba by his side, Guan Ping can actually hold Liu Ba to death.

There was a trace of displeasure on his face, and he said coldly:
"Wuling Taishou Jinxuan is the successor of the famous minister Jin Ridun. He has been loyal and learned for generations. I heard that after being captured by Liu Bei, he was unyielding and would rather die than surrender. Why did you become such an unbearable appearance in your mouth?
Oh, I get it. "

Guan Ping raised his eyebrows, and the surrounding immediately filled with evil spirit.

"Liu Bei previously sent Zhang Yun to feign surrender to drive a wedge between Ben General and General Le.

Seeing that this plan failed, he sent you to carry out a bitter plan, intending to provoke a dispute between the people from the north and the people from Jingzhou, right? "

Cao Zhi slapped his thigh suddenly, and said sharply:
"I see! If it wasn't for General Yun's insight, I would have almost fallen into your trick!
You thief, I said that you and Liu Bei both have the surname Liu, how could you come to help our army!Left and right, take it down with me! "

"No!"

Liu Bei's Bai Yueguang Liu Ba fought with each other, screaming like a pig butcher, and quickly hugged Cao Zhi's thigh:

"A certain person has no such intentions, absolutely no such intentions! Zhuge Liang... Yes, Zhuge Liang wrote me a letter before, asking me to surrender to Liu Bei! I refused, I refused!"

Liu Ba took out the letter from his bosom, Guan Ping unfolded it, and saw that it was written in Zhuge Liang's handwriting.

Zhuge Liang said that Liu Bei has already occupied most of Jingzhou, and everyone will return to their hearts. God's will and human affairs, it is very clear which one to go and which one to go.
Obviously, Liu Bei still respects Liu Ba very much, and Zhuge Liang also believes that Liu Ba has extraordinary talents.

But just like Cao Cao couldn't subdue Xu Shu, Liu Bei still can't find a way to subdue Liu Ba. Liu Ba would rather go to Cao Cao's side after suffering so much, and Zhuge Liang is also very helpless.

Hey, right...

Guan Ping thought about Zhang Yun again.

Based on Zhuge Liang's attention to Liu Ba, it would be fine if Liu Ba fled to Jiaozhou, but he dared to turn back to the north, which means...

He slowly put away the letter, and the smile on his face became even more ferocious.

"Okay, Zhuge Liang's letter is there, and you still say that you are not Liu Bei's spy? Zijian, what do you think should be done?"

Cao Zhi also showed a hint of ferocity:
"The general has clever calculations. If he says this person is Liu Bei's spy, then he is the real spy! Left and right, take it down for me!"

Just like that, Liu Ba begged like a pig but was dragged away in public.

After suffering such a great insult, it stands to reason that as a famous person, he should break his defense on the spot and vowed not to die with Cao Cao.

But Liu Ba, who was imprisoned, yelled that he was wronged every day, and kept writing letters to Guan Ping, expressing that he was really wronged.

Everyone in Jingzhou knew that Liu Ba looked down on Liu Bei and Liu Biao at all. He was completely sincere to the court and had a lot of methods to kill Liu Bei. He also asked Yunshan to give him a chance.

Yun Shan's reply was very elegant - he was reading a book recently, and saw the incident where Li broke his arm to assassinate Qing Ji, and he admired this kind of brave man who dared to implement cruel tricks, but he was resourceful, and Liu Ba couldn't hide it at all, so don't pretend .

Liu Ba was about to vomit blood—if he complained a little bit, or complained like a normal celebrity about Cao Cao's unkindness, Guan Ping would quickly find an opportunity to send him away.

But Liu Ba endured such insults and was still unyielding, insisting that he was innocent. He was loyal to Prime Minister Cao, and asked the general to be careful not to fall into Liu Bei's tricks.

A few days later, Yunshan dispatched Chief Secretary Sima Fu to meet Liu Ba in prison. Sima Fu said calmly that General Yun had heard that Liu Ba was quite talented, so he was willing to take the risk of giving Liu Ba a chance.

"Liu Bei is stationed in the police, what shall we do?"

Liu Beijun is not far from Jiangling now, and Jiangling can be said to be the front line of Jingzhou. It is not surprising that Yunshan asked this.

Liu Ba cheered up and replied: "Liu Bei, the troops are stationed in Jingnan, and this time we divide the territory with Jiangdong, we can only be on the defensive for a while, and there is no possibility of attacking at all.

For the current plan, we should first harass Liu Bei with a large army going south frequently, forcing Liu Bei to send Guan Zhang and others to fight in front of the battle.

Even if Jiangling is besieged, as long as Liu Bei can be exhausted, everyone in the counties that Liu Bei has newly occupied will be dissatisfied. "

"Ma Jichang has always been friendly with the barbarians. As long as Liu Bei is held back and Ma Jichang is sent to befriend the barbarians in Wuling, Liu Bei will be disturbed. At that time, Liu Bei's army will be in a state of chaos. Then he will make good friends with Sun Quan and trick him into attacking the four counties in Jingnan. It can be captured!"

The spitting stars that Liu Ba said were flying around, and he looked at Sima Fu eagerly.

Seeing Sima Fu nodding his head gently, a happy look appeared on his face.

"It seems that something is right, so..."

Sima Fu nodded heavily and said:
"That's right. King Wen was trapped in the prison and played Zhou Yi, Zuo Qiuming was blind and wrote Zuo Zhuan, Tai Shigong was tortured to write "Historical Records", Zichu's learning is amazing, I think he must have epiphany in this prison, and he will come out. Pity."

He patted Liu Ba on the shoulder, and said warmly:
"Think again, think again!"

　When we realized that our notification was positive, it was the first time in three years that the positive was found around us. Hey, it’s not easy.
