Chapter 294

After Gongsun Zan's death, Liu Bei led the prefect of Beiping, but in fact he was sitting on the four counties of Beiping, Liaoxi, Changli, and Xuanyuan.Gongsun Zan originally had more than [-] soldiers and horses, all of them powerful.But after Gongsun Zan attacked Jizhou, he was defeated several times, and only half of the soldiers and horses were defeated.

But Liu Bei has [-] soldiers and horses, and because of the bravery of Zhang and Zhang, he can be regarded as a powerful prince.

And taking advantage of Gongsun Zan's death, Di Qing as the general, Pan Feng as the vanguard, and Jushou as the military adviser, [-] troops sent troops to Youbeiping, stationed without end, intending to recover the entire territory of Youzhou in one fell swoop, and complete the cross-sea dependence with Qingzhou formulated by Liu Bian strategy.

When an army of [-] came to attack, Liu Bei also raised an army of [-] to resist. At the time when Gongsun Zan was in mourning, the [-] army was dressed in hemp and filial piety, ready to go out, and it could be described as aggressive.

On the eve of the expedition, Gongsun Sheng came to see Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Xuande, now that you are firmly seated in Beiping, and I have fulfilled my filial piety, I am going to travel in the clouds! I am here to bid farewell to uncle."

"Nephew wants to leave? How can this be possible!" Liu Bei welcomed Gongsun Sheng to the couch, and the two sat opposite each other, chatting.

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "Sheng is a lazy person, he only loves to travel around the world, seek the way, and make friends!"

"Ah!" Liu Bei sighed and stared at Gongsun Sheng and said, "I'm afraid my nephew won't be able to leave for a short time!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Liu Yu's Xiao general Pan Feng led an army of [-] to attack, and Ju was appointed as a military adviser. Although I raised [-] troops, I may not be his opponent! What's more, brother Bogui is newly mourned. Although I was elected as the prefect, It's not popular, if my nephew leaves, won't the soldiers think of me..." Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Sheng and said with burning eyes.

Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard lightly, and he understood Liu Bei's meaning. Liu Bei's meaning was that once I left, those soldiers only said that Liu Bei would eliminate dissidents, and they dared to drive away the only heir just after becoming the prefect.If someone with a heart deliberately takes advantage of this matter, turmoil will inevitably occur.

When Liu Bei saw Gongsun Sheng's appearance, he knew that he understood. He cupped his hands and begged, "Bei is an incompetent person. He was pushed to be the prefect, but he also knows to do his duty. He will definitely keep this foundation! Pan Feng led the army to attack, we There is no absolute certainty to repel him. If the nephew leaves, the morale of the army will be even more unstable! I also ask the nephew to stay for a while. Since you don’t want to be a director, I will not give you an official position, but you have to go with me for this expedition Take a trip, or you will be defeated!"

After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng said with shame: "It's my nephew who didn't think well, no matter what, Yunyou can go anytime. This time, I will accompany my uncle to stabilize the morale of the army."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "It's the best!"

Leaving Gongsun Sheng behind, when Liu Bei was preparing for the expedition, it can be said that the new official took office as the three fires, calling officials to discuss matters.The first is military discipline. Although Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are strong, their military discipline is not very good because of the perennial battles with foreign races. Looting of people happens from time to time.

The first thing Liu Bian did was to restrain the soldiers, rectify military discipline, and not allow soldiers to plunder the people.

The second thing is to recommend talents. Liu Bei wandered for half his life, and he deeply realized that it is absolutely impossible to have no talents.However, although Guan Zhang is brave, he lacks resourcefulness. Although Shan Jing, Tian Kai, Guan Jing, Zou Dan and others are loyal, most of them are mediocre, and they cannot take on great positions.

Liu Bei asked everyone to recommend talents, and they were quite embarrassed. Zou Dan cupped his hands and said: "My lord, although there are many famous people in Youzhou, but at the beginning, my lord also invited them, but most of them refused to come to join us."

"Brother Bogui didn't restrain the soldiers enough, and his sincerity was not enough, so those celebrities refused to come. Now I restrain the soldiers. If I go to invite them in person, I will definitely invite talented people! Tell me, I have those celebrities in Youzhou. !” Liu Bei asked with a smile.

The few people were silent for a while, unable to speak, but why, under You Beiping's rule, fighting all year round, most of the famous people left, under Liu Bei's rule, there were really no famous people.

"Guorang, you must have made friends with many celebrities and talented people when you went out to study this year, so tell me, and I will invite you personally!" Liu Bei said to a young man behind him.

Tian Yu's name was Guorang, and when Liu Bei attached himself to Gongsun Zan, the young Tian Yu defected to Liu Bei. For more than a year, Tian Yu traveled around to study, until Gongsun Zan passed away and Liu Bei became the lord of Beiping, and Tian Yu didn't come back.

Tian Yu in history has extraordinary abilities. Apart from Jian Yong, Liu Bei's fellow countryman, he can be said to be the first counselor who defected to Liu Bei.It's a pity that Liu Bei later became the governor of Yuzhou. Tian Yu couldn't accompany him because he had to take care of his mother. Liu Bei cried and said, "I just wish I couldn't build a great cause with you!"

After Liu Bei left, Tian Yu returned to Gongsun Zan, and later to Cao Cao. Under Cao Cao, Tian Yu's talent was finally brought into play. He defeated the alien race several times, and also defeated Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu. The country is unparalleled.

Tian Yu has been studying this year, and he must have known many talents, so Liu Bei asked Tian Yu to introduce a few.

Tian Yu cupped his hands and said: "Master, there are not many famous people here in Beiping, but there are a few talented people in Liaodong, such as Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and others!"

"These people are all from Qingzhou. They lived overseas because of the yellow scarves to avoid disaster. They can be called hermits. The governor of Liaodong Gongsun Du invited them several times, but they were not moved. What's more, they are in Liaodong. How can they be used by the Lord? "Tian Kai cupped his hands and said.

Liu Bei didn't take it seriously and said, "It's all about human effort. If you don't try it, how will you know? After this battle is over, I will invite you in person! Guorang, are there any other celebrities?"

"There is another person named Yan Rou. He was abducted by Karasuma Xianbei when he was young, but he has gained their close trust. With his ability, he is quite influential among Karasuma and Xianbei. But he is not of my race. His heart must be different, although Yan Rou is close to the foreign race on the surface, but he also hates the foreign race, the lord can recruit Yan Rou!"

"Now that the Wanyan Jurchen clan is rising in the north, they are attacking various tribes. Within a few years, they will definitely go south, and Karasuma will bear the brunt of it. At that time, the Jurchen clan will be the main enemy! My lord can first make friends with Yan Rou and use Yan Rou Make good friends with Karasuma, so that foreign soldiers and horses can be used by me!"

After hearing this, Shan Jing retorted: "It's nonsense, how can we cooperate with other races? This is seeking skin from a tiger!"

Tian Yu explained: "It's not cooperation, it's utilization. Different races are not monolithic and will not be unified, but the Jurchen tribe, in the northeast, is already a dominant family. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. The lord can This is using Karasuma for my own use, not cooperation!"

"This plan is very good. The alien races in the north are determined not to be unified. Since the Jurchen tribe has risen, I will support Karasuma to fight against it and let him kill each other. In this way, not only can we use the influence of alien races, but also stabilize my rear. It really kills two birds with one stone!" Liu Bei nodded after hearing this.

"My lord is smart, you can understand with just one point!" Tian Yu exclaimed in admiration.

"Jian Yong from my hometown is the best at lobbying. I have already asked Jian Yong to join me, so I asked him to make friends with Yan Rou!" Liu Bei thought.

After the matter was dealt with, the military discipline was established and talents were discovered. When the war was over, he went to invite him in person. Liu Bei said: "Go down and rest, and go to the border gate tomorrow to meet the enemy. Beiping affairs, please trouble Guan Changshi!"

"Yes, my lord!" Guan Jing and the other four retreated, and Liu Bian wanted to go to the back of the hall to deal with things, but he saw Gongsun Sheng standing aside, thinking about something.

"What's on your mind, nephew?" Liu Bei asked looking at Gongsun Sheng in a daze.

"Uncle is really thirsty for talent, and is willing to invite talent in person?" Gongsun Sheng asked after regaining consciousness.

"Naturally, my second and third younger brothers in Beiping are very brave, while Zou Dan and others are mostly warriors. Only wise men have no one to advise. If there are talented people who can benefit the people, I will give up the position of prefect. I am willing!" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

Gongsun Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked at Tian Yu behind Liu Bei and said, "I heard what Guo Rang said before, that Liaodong Bingyuan, Guan Ning, and Yan Rou are all talented people?"

Tian Yu replied: "Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others are wise and wise, and everyone in the Liaodong area knows it! And Yan Rou, although he is of a different race, can gain the trust of Karasuma and Xianbei." , isn’t that enough to explain their abilities?”

"Haha, most of these people have false names. Guan Ning and Bing Yuan are just old scholars, and they can teach and educate people. If they talk about making suggestions, they may not be so strong, and Yan Rou is just an opportunist. Not talented!" Gongsun Sheng laughed loudly.

Tian Yu was slightly angry, but he didn't lose his temper. He asked instead: "You say that, do you know a real talent? If that's the case, please recommend it to the lord!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he quickly came to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "Is my nephew really acquainted with real talents? Please introduce me!"

Gongsun Sheng nodded and said: "I do know one, but he is a mountain farmer, not too famous, and the people who know him are just some farmers. And this person is a reclusive expert, not necessarily Will come out of the mountain, is uncle still willing to invite him?"

"Mountain villager?" Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "If you are really talented, not to mention people from the mountains, even refugees and beggars. Who's the name!"

Gongsun Sheng explained: "This man's surname is Li Mingbi, and his surname is Changyuan. He is from Jingzhao, but he also loves Taoism, and now he is hidden in the Taoist temple in Youbeiping's endless mountains and forests! As for this talent, I can't tell. , but has the talent of Canbi Zhang Liang and Chen Ping!"

"Li Mi? Now living in Wuzhong?" Liu Bei murmured, "If he really has the talent of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, I will go and ask for him personally wherever my army passes by when we are about to go on an expedition!"

"But uncle, Li Mi is as lazy as I am, and I'm afraid he won't come out of the mountain easily. Uncle must be prepared!"

"Such a talented person, I will seek him no matter what!" Liu Bei nodded, his eyes full of determination.

After the internal affairs were settled, Liu Bei set off with an army of [-], leaving Guan Jing behind to watch the house, Tian Kai escorted the grain and grass, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others went out with the army, and Gongsun Sheng and Tian Yu accompanied them .
