I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 274 Liu Jian Shows the Angle of Benevolence and Justice

In the Han Dynasty, exchanging accumulated prestige and flaunting virtuous names for actual family interests was a consistent method of the scholars of the Han Dynasty. In fact, not only scholars, but every living person, starting from birth, They are all driven by interests. This interest is not only money and power on the surface, but also some subsidiary interests related to personal reputation... In short, most people want to use their existing resources to cash in more resources. It is human nature.

But in addition to the nature of profit-seeking, people also have another inner nature, that is, feelings.

This kind of affection includes "family affection", "brother affection", "love", "loyalty affection" and so on. Although in the eyes of philistines, love is very old-fashioned and boring, but it cannot be denied that this special and precious characteristic, It still exists in many people.

People's hearts are replaced by people's hearts, and loess becomes gold.

This sentence applies to Liu Jian and Xun Yu now.

When two people with similar ambitions, temperaments, and ideological realms meet together, and one of them treats the other with sincerity, it is likely that the two people's souls will communicate and merge together.

And as time goes on, they will become best friends.

After Xun Yu recognized his master, Liu Jian asked Xun Yu to lie on the bed and rest well. He sat beside him, and the master and slave began to chat about everything.

The longer the time, the more the two of them opened their hearts and conducted in-depth discussions on the current military and political situation.

First, we talked about the situation in Jizhou, then we talked about Qingzhou, then we went to the paper and salt industry in Qingzhou, and we talked about the Yellow Turban...the two talked a lot.

Xun Yu's views on current affairs are indeed unique, and his consciousness is very advanced.

In Liu Jian's view, Tian Feng and Jushou's talents in current affairs are no longer comparable to ordinary people, but Xun Yu is even better than the two of them.

Discussing current affairs with Xun Yu is like drinking fine wine, which makes people feel hearty.

Afterwards, the two unknowingly brought the topic to various forces in the world.

At present, nothing attracts the world's attention more than the fact that the allied army formed by the local gentry headed by Yuan Shao is going to crusade against what they call the "rebellious minister" Dong Zhuo.

In response to this matter, Liu Jian asked Xun Yu: "Now Yuan Shao gathers people to discuss Dong, and the current situation changes day by day. From Wenruo's point of view, how about it?"

Xun Yu said: "The successors and losers in ancient times have their talents. Although they are weak, they must be strong. Gou is not his own person. Although he is strong and weak, the survival of Liu and Xiang is enough to watch! Today's heroes are superior to the lord. Yuan and Dong Zhuoer! Today the two powers are fighting, and the world is shaking, but although Zhuo assists the king, he will end up in chaos, and he will be unable to do anything. In the future, the one who will fight with the lord will be the Yuan family."

"Then according to Mr. Yuan's opinion, how should we deal with Yuan Shi?"

Xun Yu said: "In the past, Emperor Gao defended Guanzhong, and Guangwu occupied Hanoi. Both of them were deeply rooted to control the world. They advanced enough to defeat the enemy and retreated enough to hold on. In Qingzhou's troubles, Li and Shu all returned to their hearts and minds, "

"Yandi, the hub of the northern land, although there is Xianbei, it is still easy to protect itself. It is the main public relations center and Hanoi, so it must be determined first."

Liu Jian laughed when he heard this.

"Wen Ruo and I can be said to coincide with each other. I also have the heart to use the Northern Expedition to determine Youzhou. To tell the truth, Wen Ruo, my scouts have already detected Zhang Ju from Yuyang and Zhang Chun from Zhongshan. Huan has the intention of rebelling against the Han, and after they revolt, I have a reason to attack Youzhou in the north, but although the two of them have a plan, they still have nothing to do, which is really worrying."

Xun Yu said: "If, as the envoy said, the two of them have a rebellious heart but have not moved so far, there is only one reason."

"what?"

"I'm only afraid of my lord."

Liu Jian was stunned when he heard this.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "My lord, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan and other famous generals in Youzhou have been transferred out because of the crusade against the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. The fact that people haven't moved yet is enough to show that the person they worry about is not Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan, but you, my lord!"

Liu Jian frowned.

"My lord, although you are young, you are a famous general in the world. Your reputation is not inferior to that of Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo and others. Moreover, you have the power to fake axe in your hands. If I were Zhang Ju and others...as long as my lord is in Hebei, no matter where you are Whatever you do, I’m afraid you won’t dare to take it lightly.”

Liu Jian smiled wryly when he heard the words.

It turned out that I underestimated myself.

I thought the people they feared were Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Is it really worth being afraid of yourself?I'm very kind and easy-going, okay?
Liu Jian began to reminisce, carefully recalling what he had done in the past eight years...

But thinking about it this way, I seem to be really fierce!

No wonder Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun didn't dare to rebel.

Liu Jian said distressedly: "Since that's the case, in order to make them jump back, I can't let me move out of Hebei, right?"

Xun Yu laughed out loud when he heard the words, coughing until he laughed.

"Naturally, there is no need. In fact, right now, there is a way to allow the envoy to take his name and take his real name."

"any solution?"

"My lord led the troops to leave Hebei to fight and leave Jizhou. If there are any dissidents in Youzhou, all of them will naturally come out. At that time, the lord will return to the north and then enter Youzhou. It will be justified."

Liu Jian sighed helplessly: "Luo Yang escorted him, and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou rebelled. I led my troops there, but they didn't jump out. Where else would I go? Don't they have to go to Jingzhou?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "That's because the people who were enemies with the lord at that time couldn't hold back the lord."

Liu Jian sighed: "Then who should I ask for practice? Only then can they rest assured?"

Xun Yu said, "Dong Zhuo himself!"

After saying a word, the room fell into a moment of silence.

When I was young, Fang heard Liu Jian say slowly: "Or... I'd better lead the troops directly into Youzhou, capture them both alive for interrogation, and then flatten Wuhuan in western Liaoning. This is better than going against Dong Zhuo. "

Xun Yu wondered, "Does the envoy not want to be an enemy of Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Jian thought to himself, of course I don't want to, I already have an alliance with Dong Zhuo in private, how can I attack him.

When I was young, Liu Jian slowly said: "Although Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou, he was not from a famous family, but after he arrived in Luoyang, he supported the new king, supported the queen mother, and kept Liu's family stable. There was no trick of letting Yuan Kui dominate the court. If you succeed, it can be said that Dong Zhuo is kind to the great Han Jiangshan right now..."

"However, a group of people headed by Yuan Shi forcibly label Dong Zhuo as a traitor for their own benefit, and insist on attacking him. It is nothing more than Dong Zhuo breaking their way. Why should I help Yuan? Offend a person who has made contributions to my big man?"

Xun Yu was really very smart, after he listened to Liu Jian's words, he didn't say anything for a while.

Afterwards, he still tentatively asked Liu Jian: "My lord, do you have any secret agreement and plan with Dong Zhuo?"

Hearing this, Liu Jian couldn't help but took a deep breath.

This is the No. [-] person under Cao Cao in history, comparable to the top talent of Xiao He under Gaozu's command, Xun Yu's ability.

With just a few words, he was able to see through the essence of the matter.

Liu Jian only hesitated a little, and then responded immediately.

"Yes, there is a plan."

Xun Yu was very satisfied when he heard this.

In fact, according to Xun Yu's character, even if he had guessed that Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo had a plan in private just now, he would not directly open his mouth to reveal the matter.

After all, he was a courtier, and the less he did such things, the safer he would be.

But even so, Xun Yu decided to speak out to see Liu Jian's attitude.

Just this time!
Not for anything else, he just wanted to see if Liu Jian was confiding in him and if he really believed in him.

For ministers, the trust of the Lord is even more important than the official position and treatment given to them by the Lord.

And Liu Jian's reaction and decisive answer also made Xun Yu very happy.

Liu Jian really believed in himself.

He did not misunderstand the master.

After all, there is no wrong payment.

But seeing Xun Yu let out a long sigh of relief, a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"My lord, even if you and Dong Zhuo have some agreement or covenant in private, but this time, you must send troops!"

"Not only to induce Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun to rebel in Youzhou, but also to show the benevolence and righteousness of the Lord to the people of the world!"

Liu Jian secretly thought that the current Dong Zhuo is not the same as in history, and his behavior in Luoyang was not excessive.

On the contrary, he also gained the trust of the emperor and the Empress Dowager He... Although the Empress Dowager He was not satisfied with Dong Zhuo in private, and even began to hate Dong Zhuo a little bit, but to the outside world, not many people knew about it.

Therefore, attacking Dong Zhuo now does not seem to be able to show his benevolence and righteousness.

Xun Yu seemed to have seen Liu Jian's thoughts, and said: "My lord, the benevolence and righteousness that Yu said does not mean that the lord should be in the same class as Yuan Shao. My lord does not need to join Yuan Shao and the others. I just send troops to Dong Zhuo from your own position. Ask for an explanation! Use this to show your benevolence and righteousness!"

Liu Jian wondered: "The position of Yuan Shao and the others is to crusade against the national traitors and revive the Han Dynasty... If I don't join them, why should I send troops?"

Xun Yu said: "My lord, your friend who cut the throat was killed in Luoyang. From your point of view, isn't it a display of benevolence and righteousness to send troops to ask for an explanation as a close friend?"
