The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Long Fei crossed the Yangtze River first, followed Zhao Yun's brigade to the outside of Wuling City, and then separated.The original arrangement for Long Fei and his party was Xu Chu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu.But Dian Wei must follow, Long Fei is really helpless.Zhao Yun also smiled and said: "This Wuling and Lingling are both small counties, the prefects Jin Xuan and Liu Du have already sent us a letter, it must be nothing serious, I think it's better to let Dian Wei follow the eldest brother, so I can rest assured. "

Just like that, Long Fei's team expanded by one more person.Leading three hundred personal guards, galloping all the way, there is no need to stay overnight in the town store.After three full days, they finally arrived at Linhe at the border of Jingzhou, and further ahead was Cangwu County in Jiaozhou.In Linhe, Long Fei ordered to rest, had a good meal, took a bath comfortably, put on a new set of clean clothes, and slept soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, all the guards of honor with the silk banners were unfolded, and everyone took on a new look. Then, under the attention of the Linhe people, they left Linhe City and headed towards Cangwu.The prefect of Cangwu was Shi Xie's third younger brother, Shi Wei[Note], and he received a report from the city gate guard that a group of people had come outside the north gate, and the silk banners were waving a lavish ceremonial guard.

Shi Wei was stunned: "General Zhennan? I have only heard of General Zhennan, but I have never heard of General Zhennan. Who is he?"

Chang Shi hurriedly said: "My lord, I remembered. Not long ago, the imperial court suddenly appointed Cao Cao as General Zhendong, Sun Quan as General Xinghan, and Long Fei seemed to be the Great General Zhennan. He issued a statement. So, could it be that Long Fei came here? ?”

Shi Wei thought for a while, and laughed loudly: "Brother is right at all. Once Liu Biao died in Jingzhou, Long Fei and Liu Bei fought back and forth. As expected, it's time for us to take action. I didn't expect that even Long Fei came in person, boy Let us open the north gate, and I will personally welcome you!"

The sound of drums and the fluttering of colorful flags.Sergeants in official robes and caps, riding a white horse, and three thousand soldiers behind them came out of the city and stood on both sides of the road.The trumpet fired three times, and Shi Wei dismounted first and stood beside the road.Seeing Long Fei approaching, Shi Wei hurried forward to help Long Fei lead the horse.When Long Fei came down to control the wind, Shi Wei lifted his robe and led the Cangwu officials to kneel down on the ground: "Cangwu Prefect Shi Wei pays homage to the Great General of Zhennan!"

One is here to negotiate peace this time, and the other is that the scholars have given themselves enough face.No matter how much you don't like it, you can't refute his kindness.Long Fei hurriedly helped Shi Wei up, he laughed and said, "You don't need to be too polite, the prefect. From the perspective of your age, you are my elder. Such a big gift is too much for my nephew."

"You are welcome, general. The general is coming from far away. Hurry up and enter the city. I have prepared a banquet to welcome the general!"

Long Fei and Shi Wei entered the prefect's office arm in arm.Above the lobby, a sumptuous banquet has already been prepared, and there is a young woman serving wine and serving dishes for the guests next to each seat.Shi Wei respected Long Fei and sat down, and Long Fei politely said a few words and then sat down.On the left are Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu, Long Fei's subordinates, and on the right are a group of officials from the Cangwu Prefect's Mansion.Although I don't know the name, everyone is smiling.Only the last one was not very happy.

The banquet was held warmly and in an atmosphere. Everyone drank freely and talked about various classics.Long Fei was not very good at this aspect, but luckily Guo Jia was present, whenever Long Fei couldn't answer, he would immediately pick it up.Dian Wei just kept his head down and ate, and didn't pay attention to the things on the scene.Xu Chu crossed his arms and scanned everyone in the lobby vigilantly.Xu Shu was very careful, scanning everyone's face, paying attention to the meaning hidden behind their eyes.

The banquet lasted a whole afternoon.When the lights came on, everyone was more or less drunk.The middle-aged scribe sitting in the last seat suddenly stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said to Long Fei who was sitting in the main seat: "General Long, I heard that you are willing to fight with Liu Bei in order to save tens of thousands of people in Nanjun. Yanhe, this kind of benevolence and righteousness is rare in the world, all the princes in this world are fighting for power and profit, only General Long has this kind of benevolence, I offer you a toast!"

Long Fei picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and the man drank too.Wipe the wine stains on his beard with his sleeve: "General Long is so proud, I want to ask General Long, the general was fighting Liu Bei in Jingzhou, why did he suddenly come to Jiaozhou, if you don't know, please let the general know."

"Bold Liu Ba, I have already said that today is just drinking and not talking about political affairs, so sit down quickly!" Shi Wei also wanted to know, but he was not in a hurry, he wanted to wait for Long Fei to speak out.Liu Baxiang asked, although he glared angrily, his eyes turned to Long Fei.

Long Fei quickly waved his hand: "Don't be angry, the prefect. There is no need to make things up like this during the banquet. Since the lord asked, I might as well tell you that this visit to Jiaozhou is for the union of two families. Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are neighbors. If you can If we unite, we can divide the southern part of the Great Han into two, and trap Sun Quan in the east and Liu Zhang in the west. If there is a time, Jiaozhou can send troops to Yizhou, and we can send troops to Yangzhou from Jingzhou, and each will occupy half of the world. How big is this? Good thing!"

Everyone is still imagining what it will be like to occupy a large territory in the future.Liu Ba laughed loudly: "General Long speaks loudly. I'm afraid that General Long will fight with swords and soldiers at that time. Lord Jiaozhou Governor Shi Xie is no match for General Long."

"Mister, why do you regard me as such a villain?" Long Fei looked at the middle-aged man in the hall, he was not tall, but he was well-proportioned, standing there steadily, he looked like a well-behaved man.Long Fei said: "Although I, Long Fei, have the ambition to annex the world, wouldn't it be faster if I had the help of Shi Taishou and Master Shi Xie?"

Liu Ba shook his head: "That's true, but I heard that General Long has brought great hardships to the aristocratic family in Wancheng! I and other nobles dare not associate with General Long."

This sentence hit the point at once, expressing the anxiety in the hearts of the nobles all over the world.They all saw Long Fei's strength, but the policies that Long Fei implemented made them afraid.Confiscation of all land, no preferential treatment for the gentry, no restrictions on the background of officials, emphasizing business and suppressing scholars, these few basic policies scare the gentry away.Even today, there are not many noble families in Wancheng.

Long Fei looked at Liu Ba: "What's your name, sir? Can you tell me, sir's vision is like a torch, and Long Fei is willing to have a good talk with him about this issue."

"My subordinate, Liu Ba, is from Lingling, Jingzhou! Because of the arrival of General Long's army, we and the gentry had nothing to rely on, so we fled to Cangwu for a while!" Liu Ba looked at Long Fei without any fear.Liu Ba came to Cangwu to avoid the flames of war, not because of Long Fei, so he wanted to see Long Fei's reaction.

This Liu Ba is not an ordinary person. His grandfather Liu Yao was the prefect of Cangwu, and his father Liu Xiang was the prefect of Jiangxia and the general of Dangkou.Liu Ba was already a radio broadcaster when he was young.In the eighteenth year of the year, he served as the chief bookkeeper of Cao Li, a householder in the county office, in Jingzhou.After Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he enlisted Liu Ba to work, but Liu Ba insisted on resigning.Although Liu Ba came from a family of officials and officials, he was very proficient in the theory of doing business and buying and selling a set of merchants.When Liu Ba followed his father to work in Jiangxia, the treasury was empty, and Liu Xiang was helpless.Liu Ba only said one thing, asking his father to turn all the items into officials for sale. In less than a few months, Jiangxia's treasury was full, which showed that Liu Ba was accurate in seeing things and using politics highly.

However, Liu Ba Yizhang himself was named broadcasting after he was an official.He looks down on people like Long Fei who have stepped up from the bottom step by step, and thinks that it is a general like Long Fei who holds a heavy army that is the root of the chaos of the big man.Whenever he saw these people, Liu Ba had no good words to say.

Long Fei looked at Liu Ba: "Dare to ask, sir, is the world ruled by the nobles or the people of the world?"

Liu Ba said: "The world belongs to His Majesty! The gentry is His Majesty's right-hand man. Without the gentry, who will govern the world for His Majesty?"

Long Fei nodded, and asked back: "If there are no people, who should the gentry govern? Where do the food and clothing come from without the people? Where does the army come from without the people? Is it just a pinch of dirt?"

Not to mention Liu Ba, even Cang Wu and others are hearing such a theory for the first time.It sounds uncomfortable at first, but it seems to make sense after a closer look.Liu Ba said: "It is precisely because the people are ignorant that they need to be governed. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Who would govern without the gentry?"

Long Fei looked at Liu Ba: "Sir, do you think my Wancheng is in chaos? Didn't you say that there will be no way for scholars to survive after I complete it?"

This sentence is called using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, using Liu Ba's words to attack Liu Ba.Liu Ba was speechless when asked.Long Fei smiled slightly at Liu Ba: "So the world belongs to the people in the world, and the people are the most important things in the world. That's why I am willing to compromise with Liu Bei, and I also want to save the tens of thousands of people in Nanjun, and Aristocratic families rely on their privileges to override the common people, and get something for nothing, this is the biggest problem."

Long Fei was a little excited as he spoke, and slowly got up: "Thinking back when Zhang Jiao raised his arms and shouted, the people all over the world responded by hundreds of thousands. The problem lies in this aristocratic family. The big man has come to the point where he is today. , the people are not at fault, and neither is Your Majesty, the fault lies in the hands of those who think they are aristocratic families."

The audience was silent, and the officials were sweating coldly.The servants and servants standing behind them were full of enthusiasm, and some even had tears in their eyes. No one had ever said a word for them. Unexpectedly, this high official thought that they were the masters of the world.All of them smiled at Long Fei.Liu Ba stood there in a daze, not knowing why he wanted to cry.

Shi Wei quickly laughed and said: "Hehehe, General Long's words today are thought-provoking, and they are very good. After all, he is a general, and he is really different from the small officials in our barren land. Come here, go and prepare a first-class guest room for General Long , It’s getting late today, tomorrow I will personally send the general to Jiaozhi.”

The banquet soon broke up.Long Fei and others were taken down to rest.Shi Wei didn't sleep, he returned to his bedroom, pondered for a moment, and immediately wrote a long letter to his elder brother Shi Xie.In the letter, everything about Long Fei was introduced, and four words were added at the end: Be careful with this person.

Note: Shi Wei: Shi Xie has three younger brothers, Shi Yi, Shi Wei, and Shi Wu.The old Sanshi Wei’s Wei character was originally written in left and right, but it was rumored to be pronounced wei. After looking it up for a long time and looking it up in the dictionary, he still couldn’t type it out, so he had to use this character instead.
