The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 311 Wenpin returns
Two months later, Sun Ce's army conquered Guiyang and Lingling, and all the land in Jingnan was under his command. His strength increased greatly, and Sun Ce's name spread all over the place, making people dare not underestimate him.

Of course, compared with Li Yuan, Sun Ce is still a little younger. At this time, Li Yuan's power spans two and a half states, and his strength has already surpassed all heroes. Even Yuan Shao in Hebei is not as good as him. What's more, Yuan Shao has not yet defeated Cao Cao. However, it is hard to say who will win the battle between him and Cao Cao.

The defeat of Liu Biao also shocked the heroes of the world. Everyone knows that although Liu Biao is not the master of great talents, he is definitely not a simple person who can control Jingzhou for decades. What's more, Jingzhou has a lot of soldiers and food, and its navy and warships are famous all over the world. But in the face of Li Yuan and Sun Ce's joint efforts, they couldn't last for half a year, which shows the strength of Li Yuan and Sun Ce.

After Li Yuan and Sun Ce captured Jingbei and Jingnan respectively, they did not continue to mobilize troops, but chose to recuperate. After all, Liu Biao has ruled Jingzhou for many years, and it will take some time to completely subdue the hearts of the people in Jingzhou. For them, vigorously develop internal affairs It is the most important thing. The expansion of the territory will inevitably increase the number of troops, and the required food, grass, weapons, armor and horses will also increase accordingly. Therefore, the development of internal affairs is the most important thing. What is relied on for war is nothing more than military strength and logistics. , As long as the military strength and logistics can keep up, it can be invincible.

After the war, Li Yuan was also relatively comfortable in Xiangyang. In order to reflect his image of being close to the people, he would hang out and chat with the people almost every day. If he had nothing to do, he would go to the teahouse to drink tea. It was taverns and teahouses. Local people would chat about world affairs while eating in taverns and teahouses. Li Yuan could also get some information about other places from it.

Li Yuan had just finished eating in the teahouse that day when a soldier from the Tiger Guards came to him and said that Xu Zhu and Wenpin Wang Wei had returned. Li Yuan immediately went back to the State Shepherd's Mansion to see what Wenpin was thinking.

After returning to the mansion, seeing Wenpin and Wang Wei were already waiting in the hall, Li Yuan sat on the main seat and said, "Hahahaha, the faces of the two generals are ruddy. It seems that they are very happy traveling in the mountains and rivers along the way."

Wenpin nodded slightly. Originally, he and Wang Wei just went to Xiapi to have a look, but they passed through many places along the way, and found that these places were well managed by Li Yuan, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The houses in Xuzhou are neatly arranged, and the vegetable market is arranged in a specific place. Unlike Jingzhou, which can be sold everywhere, Xuzhou and other places are very clean and tidy. This trip really gave him a lot of insight.

Xu Zhu knew what Li Yuan meant, so he deliberately took Wenpin and Wang Wei to some special places. First, he went to Lujiang port to let them see the most advanced warships, and then went to Baicaotang to let him know Xuzhou The people in Heyuzhou don't have to worry about medical treatment, and then went to Lumen Academy, where both poor families and nobles can go to study, and finally went to the Academia Sinica in Xiapi, so that they could see the most advanced thunder car.

Ever since he came back from Xuzhou, Wenpin has been surprised by Li Yuan's ability to govern the city, not only in Xiapi, but also in other places that are prosperous, tidy and clean. This kind of situation is almost impossible to happen in Jingzhou. He found that Li Yuan is not only good at In war, even the internal affairs are very powerful, which makes him feel admiration.

"Under General Li's administration, Xuzhou and other places are indeed prosperous and lively, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I am deeply impressed by Wenpin." I found that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and heaven beyond the sky. Although Xiangyang is very good, Xiapi is definitely better than Xiangyang now.

"I think you should have heard a lot of news on the way. Jingnan has been captured by Sun Ce, Liu Biao was defeated, Cai Mao was killed in battle, Kuai Liang and Liu Bei and others are missing. What are your plans next?" Li Yuan asked. To put it clearly, he asked Wenpin if he wanted to surrender.

Wen Pin sighed and said, "Well, Liu Jingzhou still failed to escape this catastrophe in the end. It seems that it was destined by God, but the most hated person is Sun Ce. He even went to Liu Jingzhou's family. It is really abominable."

Li Yuan also felt that it was too much for Sun Ce to kill Liu Biao's family. This practice must be disgusted and excluded by the gentry in Jingzhou. In the future, Sun Ce will inevitably need the help of the gentry if he wants to gain a foothold in Jingnan, but his approach has the opposite effect. , but Sun Ce did no harm to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said: "Sun Ce's father died at the hands of Liu Biao, that's why Sun Ce did this. What's more, leaving Liu Qi and Liu Cong may be a disaster, and other princes would kill them. Although Sun Ce's actions are expected Outside, but also within reason.”

Although Wenpin felt that what Li Yuan said was reasonable, he still couldn't help hating Sun Ce.

"Compared to Sun Ce, I think Liu Biao has a bigger enemy. If you want revenge, I suggest you go to that person." Li Yuan deliberately diverted Wenpin's hatred elsewhere.

"who is it?"

"That is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande." Li Yuan said Liu Bei's name.

"What, Liu Bei?" Wenpin looked at Li Yuan suspiciously, "General Li, you must not be teasing me on purpose, my lord Liu Jingzhou and Liu Bei are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei took refuge in my lord, when fighting You have put in a lot of effort, so how could you be my lord's enemy."

"You only know one but not the other. Have you ever heard of the death of Beihai prefect Kong Rong?"

Wenpin nodded hesitantly, and replied: "I have heard that Liu Bei was poisoned to death, but there is no evidence to prove that Liu Bei did it."

"This world is very strange. It doesn't mean that things didn't happen if you didn't see them with your own eyes. Liu Bei has a military adviser named Li Shan, whose character is needed. I seriously suspect that this person is Li Ru, the adviser next to Dong Zhuo. Li Ru is good at using poisonous tricks He poisoned Liu Bian, Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty. Kong Rong died in Beihai a few years ago, and then Liu Bei became Kong Rong’s prefect. Now Liu Biao died suddenly, and Liu Bei happened to be under Liu Biao’s command. It’s too much for you to say this. It's a coincidence." Li Yuan expressed his reasoning.

"I just said that Liu Bei is not a good thing. The lord shouldn't have taken him in at the beginning. Now it's all right. The lord is defeated, but Liu Bei has disappeared." Wang Wei has never liked Liu Bei, and he agrees very much when he heard Li Yuan say this. Li Yuan's opinion.

Wen Pin frowned and thought about it. He really felt that what Li Yuan said made sense, and asked, "Does General Li know where Liu Bei is now?"

"I don't know too well," Li Yuan shook his head, "I thought Liu Bei would go to Guiyang to continue resisting Sun Ce's army after Sun Ce defeated Wuling, but I heard that after Sun Ce defeated Guiyang and Lingling, there was no trace of Liu Bei's three brothers. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are also missing, they should have gone elsewhere."
