Xuande

Chapter 133 Liu Xuande, You Don't Look Like a Normal Person
Liu Bei learned of the turmoil in Jizhou earlier than the imperial court, and also learned of some movements on Taiping Road in Jizhou after Zhang Jiao's death.

Although I don't know all about it, I probably know that the Taipingdao Headquarters is completely in disarray. Many people have run away, and only a few hardcore hawks stayed behind to revolt.

The Yellow Turban Army was still established, but compared with the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao, the level of threat and appeal had dropped by two or three levels, and there was no longer a national threat.

Without the might of a rebellion in the eight prefectures on the same day, the Yellow Turban Army would have been difficult to achieve.

His little hand finally succeeded in moving the heavy historical situation through the fulcrum called Zhang Jiao.

Sure enough, that sentence is correct, give me a fulcrum, and I can move the earth.

He moved the historical situation a bit, and maybe he could really realize his previous hope.

Some of the people who would die before can survive, even if there are not so many people, if they can live more, they will live more.

To live is to have hope.

It would be even better if he can strive to live until he is capable of leading the country.

So Liu Bei is also working hard.

Working hard, Zhang Rang sent someone to look for him, saying that he wanted to treat him to a meal.

Liu Bei happily went to the appointment. After meeting Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang's attitude was very kind, and he poured wine for Liu Bei himself, and then asked him a very important question.

"Liu Xuande, why are you always able to predict people before others? You can think of many things before others. This is the case in ancient and modern literature, and the same is true for the Taiping Dao rebellion. Are you really a person?"

Zhang Rang fixed his eyes on Liu Bei, as if he had discovered something.

Liu Bei didn't change his face, and took a sip of his wine.

"Of course I am a human being. What am I not a human being? Ghosts and gods? Hahahaha, Zhang Changshi, you really know how to joke."

"I don't know if it's you or not, so I don't think so."

"I'm just a human being, but..."

"Just what?"

Zhang Rang came forward all of a sudden, his expression slightly relaxed.

"It's just that I'm smarter than the average person."

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and Zhang Rang's complexion suddenly collapsed.

"That's why?"

"This is the reason. In Luoyang City, one who is smart can predict others first, and one who is smart can be invincible."

"Hmph, smart?"

Zhang Rang returned to his seat, sat down upright, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"I have met a lot of smart people, and I have never seen anyone who can predict others like you, not even your teacher. You must not have learned this skill from Lu Zhi. If you don't want to tell me, I will Just don’t pursue it.”

"Hey, what's the matter, you are not as good as me, because you are not bold enough, but I am bold enough, I dare to assume anything, even rebellious things."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "When you are not bold in making assumptions, when are you bold? The more you are afraid of certain things, the more certain things will happen, so not daring to think about the worst in everything is your biggest problem. "

Zhang Rang took a sip of his wine, was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly.

"It makes sense."

"It's painful to predict people first, because if I'm the only one who predicts it, it's useless."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang, sighed, and slowly said: "So what if I expected it? The solution can't be implemented, or even can't be solved at all. It's too smart at this time, and it just adds unnecessary pain. Can't make me happy."

Zhang Rang's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Are you blaming me for not listening to what you have to say?"

"What's the use of blaming you, what can you do alone?"

Liu Bei sighed: "What you said is indeed right. The involvement is too great. Unless they expose themselves, I can't do anything about it. This is where I suffer. I know what to do, but I am clearly aware of what to do. There is simply no way to do it."

Zhang Rang thought for a while, then got up and came to Liu Bei's side, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Liu Xuande, I have convinced you. You said that we are friends, right?"

"It's not yet, it should be called an ally."

"Okay, you can say whatever you want, anyway, I can trust you, can't I?"

"Of course, the scholars are too powerful. Without you, I can't deal with the scholars alone."

"Well."

Zhang Rangxi said: "What will happen next, do you know? How will the situation change next, and how should I act to protect myself, do you know?"

"Of course I know, it's very simple."

Liu Bei whispered: "The next thing you should do is to wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for the scholars of the ancient literature school and the scholars of the modern literature school to bite dogs, slandering each other and colluding with the Taiping Dao to plot evil."

Liu Bei smiled, and then pointed to himself: "Of course, I must be one of them, and I will also be on the table to participate in the performance, and I will also be said to be one of the people who colluded with the Taiping Dao to plot evil. All the leading figures on both sides They will all be played, and the scene must be very beautiful.”

Zhang Rang was stunned for a while, then slapped his head.

"You mean, I can use this method to deal with scholars?"

"That's natural."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It's a pity not to take such a good opportunity. Isn't it a logical thing to suppress the power of the scholars, replace the official positions held by the scholars, and cultivate your own power?"

Zhang Rang was not happy for a while, but suddenly his face collapsed again.

"Could the scholar be arrested without a fight?"

"Of course not. They will play with each other, but they will not forget to play with you. You also have to start a big fight with them. What will happen in the end depends mainly on your means."

"That……"

"Under the current situation, it is definitely not your turn to deal with the rebellion. You cannot directly control the military power, and you will not lead troops to fight."

Liu Bei said slowly: "It's not up to you to put down the rebellion. The most important thing for you is to take this opportunity to let Dongyuan gain a firm foothold, and to gain prestige without being too tyrannical. Zhang Changshi, this is a second chance. Don't miss it anymore, if you miss it again, you won't have a chance.

Judicial power is an important power that can dictate the direction of the court. In the past, this power was in the hands of the scholars and the San Judiciary. Now there is a legitimate opportunity for you to seize the judicial power. Why not seize the opportunity? ? "

Zhang Rang was silent for a while when he heard the words, then pursed his lips again.

"I have thought about this matter."

"It's better like this."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Taiping Dao is in chaos, and I have a feeling that it won't end soon. Since there is chaos in Jizhou, soon there will be chaos in the Central Plains. By the way, do you want me to give you a credit?"

Zhang Rang was a little surprised.

"Trouble in the Central Plains? Also, what is the credit?"

"Do you still think that the Taipingdao rebellion in Jizhou was an accidental event caused by Zhang Jiao's death?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang with burning eyes: "My intuition tells me that they have planned for a long time. Now, immediately, immediately, after reporting to His Majesty for approval, send out all the spies in Dongyuan under your command and arm them.

Then, arrest all Taiping Daoists within the entire Luoyang City, and would rather arrest one thousand by mistake than let one go, and then search their residences with all their strength, looking for swords, armor, bows and crossbows, and if they can't find them, they will torture them severely I don't think it should be difficult. "

"Armor and crossbow?"

Zhang Rang suddenly took a breath: "You mean, the Taiping Dao bandits are still planning to make trouble in Luoyang? They want to rebel in Luoyang City? They came prepared? If that's the case, wouldn't it be..."

"If you're lucky, they're probably in the midst of intense preparations."

Liu Bei took a sip of his wine and said in a low voice: "Time is running out. If they attack first, your credit will not be great enough. If you make this great contribution, you will have the upper hand in the next situation. According to me As we know, many insiders of the Ancient Literature School and the Modern Literature School have a close relationship with the Taiping Dao, Zhang Changshi, don't let me down."

Zhang Rang's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Liu Xuande, you don't look like a normal person, but this time I don't care where you learned your skills, whether it's in the sky or underground, I trust you once, just this time!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Rang turned around and ran away, very fast, even a little embarrassed.

Obviously it was his house, but he ran as if a fierce ghost was chasing him, and disappeared after a while.
