I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 559: The strong is at the bottom, the weak is at the top

Does Liu Jian really want to summon Yuan Shu to Hebei?
of course not!

According to Yuan Shu's personality and his innate arrogance, Liu Jian summoned Yuan Shu to Hebei just to make trouble for himself.

The reason why he changed his route this time and headed towards Xiapi to Peiguo was because he felt that someone in Yuan Shao's group must be plotting against Yuan Shu.

As for who will harm Yuan Shu, Liu Jian is not very clear about this, but it should be those under Yuan Shao.

You must know that the composition of the people under Yuan Shao is quite complicated, and there are people representing the interests of all parties. Especially many people have grudges against Yuan Shu. There should be many people who do not want Yuan Shu to reach Yuan Shao's location.

But it can only be someone under Yuan Shao's command, and [-]% to [-]% of the time it's not Yuan Shao.

Liu Jian had met Yuan Shao only a limited number of times, but it had to be said that he was quite magnanimous.

It is true that Yuan Shao does not like Yuan Shu in his heart, but based on Yuan Shao's current position, calling Yuan Shu to his side is the best choice.

The power of the Yuan family has been tending to split. The biggest reason is that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu do not deal with it.

If Yuan Shu is willing to go to Yuan Shao, then the Yuan family's power will basically be integrated, and the resources of the Yuan family in Runan will be concentrated, which will greatly promote the growth of Yuan Shao's power.

Historically, the fight between the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu was indeed a huge loss for the Yuan family.

If the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in history could work together and echo each other from a distance in the south and the north, then the split situation in the late Han Dynasty at that time would basically have nothing to do with anyone else.

But during this historical period, Liu Jian suddenly appeared.

Even if the Yuan brothers are united, they won't pose a particularly big threat to him.

The key is that now Yuan Shu is blocked by Yuan Shao's men, no matter who this person is, but for Yuan Shu, the people blocking him now are Yuan Shao's people. He doesn't know who it is. If this person has been looking for If not, then this debt will most likely fall on Yuan Shao in the end.

Now that Yuan Shu's son is dead, it is a huge blow to him. Liu Jian is using slightly contemptuous words to stimulate Yuan Shu. Could it be that Yuan Shu will not do something surprising in the end under Yuan Shao's tent.

At this moment, Yuan Shu was staring angrily at Liu Jian, gnashing his teeth and making a creaking sound.

Liu Jian said seriously: "Highway, if you don't go to Hebei this time, you may never have this good opportunity again in your life."

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "As you said, Liu Deran, you want me to submit to you, and the only option is death!"

When he said this, he saw Zhang Fei step forward and lift the snake spear in his hand, as if he wanted to take action.

Liu Jian stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Fei.

"No, let him go!"

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at the stinking corpses of the villagers in the surrounding villages, and said: "Brother, this person is so vicious, poisoning the common people, and killing all the people in the village overnight, these people are still What are you keeping them for?"

Liu Jian said calmly: "If people are not kind, God will destroy them."

Yuan Shu ordered Yu She: "Captain Yu, take my son's body with you, let's go!"

Yu She was already injured at this time. He said "Hey" after hearing this, and then struggled to hold Yuan Yao's body.

Liu Jian looked at Yu She calmly and said, "If there is any extra wound medicine that our sergeants carry with them, please share it with them."

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Brother, this..."

"Give it to them."

Guan Yu then waved his hand, and a soldier took the medicine and handed it to Yu She.

Yu She quickly thanked Liu Jian.

When Yuan Shu saw this, he felt bitter in his heart.

To be honest, this incident had a great impact on Yuan Shu.

His outlook on life and values, including his attitude towards the world, have begun to undergo subtle changes.

Although he didn't say it, Yuan Shu was quite touched that Liu Jian was able to travel thousands of miles to come to his rescue.

If Liu Jian hadn't just said those words about recruiting him, Yuan Shu would actually be grateful to Liu Jian.

After calling out the remnants, they continued heading west.

Before leaving, Yuan Shu suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Liu Jian behind him with a complicated expression.

In the end, he still hugged Liu Jian's fists.

Liu Jian smiled when he saw this.With Yuan Gongli's virtue, it is not easy for him to express his gratitude to someone from a border county.

"highway."

Yuan Shu asked: "What's the matter?"

Liu Jian said solemnly: "Ping Gong bowed his head just now. Liu has something to say that he wants to give to the highway."

"please say."

"Human beings are weak when they are born, and their muscles are strong when they die. All things, grass and trees, are soft and fragile when they are born, and they are withered when they die. Therefore, it is said: Those who are strong are the disciples of death, and those who are weak are the disciples of life. A strong soldier will be destroyed, and a tree will be destroyed. The strong will break. The strong will be at the bottom, and the weak will be at the top."

"Highway, you can take care of yourself."

If it were the original words, Yuan Shu would not care at all and would even sneer at these mere words.

But now his situation is indeed different from the past, and Liu Jian's words really touched him.

Yuan Shu didn't reply, turned around and continued walking.

The few remaining people followed Yuan Shu, but Qiao Rui stood still.

Not far away, Xun Zheng turned around and saw Qiao Rui who had not yet moved, and hurriedly said to Yuan Shu: "Mr. Yuan, Captain Qiao did not follow..."

"Let him go."

There was no emotion or anger in Yuan Shu's voice: "Those who should follow will always follow, and those who don't want to leave will not leave after all."

Zhang Fei asked Liu Jian: "What is the wonderful meaning of the words that my brother just gave to Yuan Shu?"

Liu Jian said: "Actually, there is no clever idea. I just told him a very common sense. After he has suffered such a big change, if he is willing to concentrate on hiding, he may have the slightest chance in the future..."

Having said this, Liu Jian turned to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "What I said to Yuan Shu just now is also beneficial to you two."

“When people live in this world, the weak can defeat the strong, and there are many cases where softness can overcome the strong. Only when softness is strong, and weak is strong, can it be extremely tough. Therefore, if you try to be strong, you will not win. If you are strong, you will be cut down. You still need to remember.”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were naturally extremely convinced of Liu Jian. At that moment, they both lowered their heads and thought carefully.

At this time, Qiao Rui walked towards Liu Jian.

Guan Yu's expression changed slightly and he immediately stopped in front of Liu Jian.

"What are you going to do?"

Qiao Rui was startled when he saw this, and said hurriedly: "General, please don't misunderstand!"

"I don't have any other intentions, I just heard about the great general's reputation for a long time, and it's a pleasure to meet him now!"

"I am willing to follow and serve the general, and I also ask the general to take him in. Qiao is in front of me and behind the horse, and I am willing to serve the general to the death!"

After hearing Qiao Rui's words, Guan Yu showed deep disdain on his face.

"You are General Yuan Shu. Now your lord is in trouble. Instead of protecting his right and left, you have turned to my brother. Where is the propriety, justice and shame? Do you understand the etiquette of people and ministers?"

Qiao Rui was disrespected by the boss when Guan Yu said this.

After all, these days, it is really not a good thing to be scolded for not understanding the courtesy of a courtier.

The words loyalty and filial piety are still very influential in this era.

Qiao Rui looked embarrassed, but still managed to explain:

"It's not that someone is unruly, it's actually that Duke Yuan doesn't listen to good advice, is aloof and self-righteous, and acts arbitrarily. Whoever intercepts and kills Duke Yuan now must be under Yuan Benchu's tent. He has no soldiers around him, but he still goes. Isn't he sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? ?The general is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a famous contemporary official. Mr. Yuan did not vote for the general, but went to Yuan Shao instead. I fear that there will be more misfortune than good. Although I have fulfilled my duties as a minister, I also need to take into account the justice of the clan. Now, the life and death of the entire clan depends on me, so forgive me for not being able to go through such a fatal situation!"

Guan Yu sneered and wanted to scold him, but Liu Jian reached out and patted Guan Yu's arm as a signal.

Guan Yu understood Liu Jian's intention and immediately said no more. He turned around and got out of the way to let Liu Jian see the bridge.

"Where is Mr. Qiao from? Where is the clan?"

Qiao Rui heard this and said hurriedly: "Coming back to the general, I am from Yuhan, Jiujiang."

"Jiujiang County is now in the hands of Cao Cao. Since you are from Jiujiang County, why don't you vote for Cao Cao instead of me?"
