Chapter 426 I Didn't Dream

"Zilian, why is it so noisy outside? Go and see what's going on?"

Cao Cao has been figuring out the mystery of observing Jinyang City for the past few days, and finally had the opportunity to sleep late and was disturbed by others. Cao Cao squinted and asked Cao Hong to inquire about the news.

Since Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong in Bianshui, Cao Hong carried Cao Cao across the river on horses and walked by himself, Cao Cao has always taken Cao Hong by his side.

"Here!"

When Cao Hong heard the words, he immediately asked the people from the translation agency to inquire about the news.

After Cao Cao washed his face and had breakfast, Cao Hong came back in a hurry.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong, whose armor was a bit messy due to running, and said: "Zi Lian, the first thing a general pays attention to is his appearance. How does a lack of appearance prove the strict military discipline? Now we are in Jinyang to ask Liu Bei to send troops, let alone let people think that we are mob."

"Here!"

Cao Hong's expression changed, and he quickly straightened his armor.

Cao Cao said with satisfaction: "How? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Cao Hongdao: "My lord, the peace envoy sent by the Xiongnu arrived in Jinyang together with the angel sent by Chang'an, and they lived in this translation hall."

"Oh!"

Surprise appeared on Cao Cao's face. He didn't expect Liu Bei to attach so much importance to him, and put himself on the same level as an angel and an envoy of the Huns. It seems that Liu Bei also wanted to send troops to the Central Plains, but he was dragged by the relocation of the people.

As long as Liu Bei is willing to send troops to the Central Plains, Cao Cao's trip to Jinyang will not be in vain. Cao Cao's heart is greatly reduced, and he hurriedly said to Cao Hong: "Take my name card to meet Liu Bei. I want to see Liu Bei as soon as possible."

Since Dong Zhuo's envoy came to Jinyang, there must be a huge temptation waiting for Liu Bei, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have sent an envoy to take his own humiliation.

Cao Cao wanted to find out Liu Bei's attitude, but Liu Bei was also hesitating about what standard to use. Although he was in the name of the Han Dynasty, he was actually Dong Zhuo's secret envoy.

Although Liu Bei is not afraid of being an enemy of the world, the key to Lu Chengjun's farming is that as long as there are two or three years, Liu Bei will have enough armor and soldiers to compete in the Central Plains. In fact, not only Liu Bei, but also Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei felt that it was not worthwhile to delay his farming time because of Dong Zhuo, so he called his confidants in Jinyang to discuss countermeasures.

Jian Yong came from Lucheng, bringing a large number of students, food, and craftsmen. The Lucheng army did not have enough food to feed millions of people until the autumn harvest, so they had to go to Yizhou and Jingxu to buy food. Food is more expensive than gold in troubled times. Armor is more expensive than food, and armor in Lucheng is the best in the world. This is also Liu Bei's intention to exchange armor for food.

Zheng Jun is busy designing the drawings of Jinyang New City and the planning of the city.

Jian Qi followed Huang Zhong to Yanmen, but Sun Qian stayed behind.

Xi Zhicai was on the list, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu sat beside him, Zuo Yuan and Wang Chen also attended.

"Dong Zhuo ordered the former Taiwei Ma Rixun to be the emissary, and the servant Cai Gu to come to Jin as the deputy envoy. Let me tell you, how should I deal with it?"

Looking at his civil servant team, Liu Bei felt very confident. There were top advisers, top good ministers, and lobbyists. As long as he had two years to sharpen the middle and lower managers, Liu Bei's regime would be as stable as a rock.

"My lord, I think he should be expelled from Taiyuan. My lord has the queen mother in hand, why bother to recognize the puppet emperor established by Dong Zhuo? When I was in Zhuojun, I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​and Han Wenjie envoys frequently appeared in Guangyang. There are rumors among the people: " Yuan Shao and Han Fu want to establish Liu Youzhou (Liu Yu) as the emperor. The lord and Liu Youzhou are very close, if Liu Youzhou is the emperor, he will definitely treat the lord badly."

Jian Yong spoke first.

Zuo Yuan immediately refused when he heard the words, saying: "My lord, I don't think so. Although your majesty is Dong Zhuo's puppet, there are hundreds of officials there, and your majesty is the heir of the former emperor. Your majesty's position belongs to the young emperor. His position is upright and the world obeys. The princes raised their troops The crusade is Dong Zhuo! Once Dong Zhuo is executed, His Majesty will still be orthodox. Besides, Liu Yu is so benevolent that he will never conspire with Yuan Benchu ​​and his like."

Wang Chen said even more fiercely: "Yuan Benchu ​​was good at establishing the clan as emperor, did he want to disrupt the world of the great Han? I think he is the next Dong Zhuo, and he wants to force Liu Youzhou to rule the world. If the lord agrees, he will be swallowed by Yuan Shao sooner or later."

"Nonsense, Marquis Liu has tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are elites in the world. Yuan Benchu ​​was a Confucian scholar, how could He De annex Marquis Liu?"

Sun Qian supported Jian Yong's statement. After all, Liu Yu was the emperor, which was what the nobles in Hebei liked to see most. Yuan Shao and Han Fu agreed that Liu Yu would be the emperor, and the capital must be in Ye.

Liu Yu has Youzhou, Gongsun Zan is famous in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and the old general Liu Bei has Bingzhou. In this way, all the lands in Hebei except Qingzhou can be unified without war. As for who will be the master of Hebei in the end, it depends on everyone's means.

Without war, few people died in political struggles, and most of them were resigned or demoted.

The two groups quoted scriptures, anyway, they were either relying on Dong Zhuo or supporting Liu Yu, but Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia remained silent.

Liu Bei could only wave back a few people, leaving Xi Zhicai and others behind, saying: "The four gentlemen are silent, and they must have some advice for them."

The four of them looked at each other, and Guo Jia said boldly: "The people under Duke Ming are all dominated by others. Some people think it's wrong. Duke Ming can completely stand on his own. After all, Duke Ming now has signs of Emperor Guangwu."

Xi Zhicai was afraid that Guo Jia's words would be too revealing and Xun Yu would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, the world belongs to the Han Dynasty, so why should I vote for Yuan to vote for Dong? Can my lord also rejuvenate the Han Dynasty?"

Jia Xu also nodded, but Xun Yu stared at Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei had no intention of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, his fate with Liu Bei would have ended, and Xun Wenruo should go to Mingjun.

"Of course, the responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty cannot be shirked. This is the fate of our Liu family's descendants, but what I think is how to reduce the killings while rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, and save more lives of the people."

Liu Bei thought of the misery of the five chaos in China, and only 300 million Han people left, and felt the pressure was great, and he had a long way to go.

"The lord is benevolent."

Xi Zhicai and Jia Xudao.

Xun Yu also felt warm in his heart. It is rare to see such a king who loves the people, and it is even more strange in this troubled world. If it were not for the strength of the Lucheng Army, Xun Yu would definitely leave him. A rare gentleman.

"Duke Ming is benevolent, and I am willing to do my best to help Duke Ming rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, reduce killings, and preserve the heritage of our great Han nation."

Xun Yu was the first to be convinced, and Guo Jia thought about it, and said, "Jia has also seen the Lord."

"what?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia wanted to serve him one after another, Liu Bei was stunned. He had always dreamed of today, but ever since Guo Jia saw through his murderous intentions for him, he no longer had this fantasy, and he lived every day in the presence of being defeated by Guo Jia. In the shadow of Jia's calculation to death.

"Brother Zhicai, I am not dreaming!"

Liu Bei looked at Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai smiled wryly, "Master, you are rude."

"Hahaha!"

When Liu Bei heard it was true, he couldn't help laughing. He staggered to his feet, grabbed the hands of the two men and said in a gaffe, "I have two gentlemen, just like Gaozu obtained Zhang Liang and Xiao Heye!"

Xun Yu, the talent of Wang Zuo.

Guo Jia, a genius!

The two of them can compare themselves to Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and Liu Bei can compare themselves to Liu Bang. Their ambitions are obvious.

Xun Yu didn't feel uncomfortable, because Liu Bei belonged to the clan, and today the whole family fell apart, and the resurgence of Liu's children also met the expectations of the people of the world.

Guo Jia asked mischievously: "We are Xiao He, Zhang Liang, brother Zhicai and brother Wenhe, what is our position in the heart of the lord?"
