The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 312 Trust and Doubt

"If I know where Liu Bei is going, I must personally ask him if he killed the lord!" Wen Pin clenched his fists, quite angry.

"Yes, I'm going to question that hypocrite Liu Bei too!" Wang Wei said the same.

Li Yuan suddenly thought of something and said, "If Liu Bei is not in Jingzhou now, he is probably in Yizhou."

"Yizhou? Why Yizhou?" Wenpin was a little stunned.

"Liu Bei is ambitious and will not live an ordinary life. He has turned to others many times, first Kong Rong, then Liu Biao, but now that Liu Biao is dead, I think he should find another target, and that target is likely to be Liu Zhang."

"Then why can't it be Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Ma Teng?"

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are people who have ambitions for the world. They are different from Liu Biao and Kong Rong, so Liu Bei has no chance to take advantage of them. Ma Teng and Liu Bei have an average relationship, and he is a cautious person. He is not so easy to accept Liu Bei." Li Yuanru said. It is guessed that "history" has been greatly changed because of his arrival, and what happened in the future is no longer what he could have expected.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go to Yizhou to investigate the situation first!" Wenpin said firmly.

"Wenpin, you are too impulsive to do this. It is almost like sending yourself to death. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are far better than you in martial arts. They are inseparable from Liu Bei. How can you have a chance, not to mention that Liu Zhang will definitely treat Liu Bei well. , It is impossible for you to deal with so many people, it is better to stay with me and wait for the opportunity."

"Although I know this, what's the point of staying?" Wenpin said sadly.

"Of course it makes sense. As the saying goes, a man's ambition is everywhere. I, Li Yuan, care about the people of the world and aim to sweep the world. Now is the time to employ people. It's a waste if you practice a good skill but don't build achievements. Yizhou will also do it in the future." It is one of my goals, if you really want to avenge Liu Biao, I will definitely take you with me in the future."

"I am only a prisoner, so why should General Li value him so much?"

"I don't care what your status was before, as long as you are talented, I will hire you. As the saying goes, don't ask where your heroes come from. Why should you care too much about your status?"

"No wonder so many capable people are willing to serve General Li, and I, Wenpin, are willing to surrender!" Wenpin knelt down and clasped his fists.

"I, Wang Wei, am also willing to surrender!" Wang Wei also knelt down.

"Hahahaha, get up," Li Yuan helped the two of them up, "now that the Lujiang navy has been transferred to Xiangyang, so there is still a need to retrain a navy in Lujiang, and we will hire Wang Wei. Here it is for you, you go to Lujiang prefect Cheng Yu, he will arrange it for you."

"Yes, my lord!" Wenpin and Wang Wei stood up, and then walked out to Lujiang to take office.

When he walked out of the door, Wang Wei glanced back, and then whispered in Wenpin's ear: "General Wenpin, you said that Li Yuan would really attack Yizhou...will Liu Jingzhou take revenge?"

"Li Yuan is deeply respected by his subordinates. He should be a man of faith. What he said is not bad. If the murderer is Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has already taken refuge in Liu Zhang, we can't take revenge on ourselves. Only with his hand can we have a chance of revenge." Wenpin can only take this approach.

"Actually, I didn't really surrender. First, I wanted to avenge my lord, and second, I just followed General Wenpin." Wang Wei expressed his thoughts.

"Wang Wei, don't say these words to others," Wen Pin shook his hand to stop Wang Wei from continuing, "Although I just want to avenge my lord, since I have surrendered to Li Yuan, don't think too much about other things." , we don’t have much loyalty to Li Yuan, but he is a good enlightened master, we just need to do our own thing well, and don’t need to think about other things.”

"Yes!" Wang Wei nodded.

After Wenpin and Wang Wei left, Li Yuan was still sitting on the main seat, with Xu Zhu standing beside him. Xu Zhu couldn't help asking, "What is my lord thinking?"

"You said that Wenpin and Wang Wei surrendered so quickly, do you have other plans?" Li Yuan supported his head with his hands, and kept tapping the armrest with his fingers.

"I heard that Wenpin is a loyal person, so he shouldn't have any disagreements."

"Wenpin is indeed loyal, but it is because of loyalty that he should not surrender so soon. What's more, I am also Liu Biao's half-enemy. Although I didn't kill Liu Biao personally, Liu Biao died indirectly because of me. Wenpin It is impossible for Pin and Wang Wei not to hate me." Li Yuan understood human nature very well, different people will have different personalities, and it is impossible to surrender to the enemy easily with Wen Pin's character.

"Although the lord is also his enemy, he should hate Liu Bei more than the lord. That's why he surrendered to the lord. He just hopes that the lord will take him with him when he attacks Yizhou in the future." Xu Zhu's head is quite bright, Not as dull as expected.

"It should be like this, but Wenpin and Wang Wei don't have much loyalty to me. They just want me to help them in surrender, but if I kill Liu Bei for him, will he turn against me?" Li Yuan said This is doubtful.

"Maybe, maybe not, it's hard to say." Xu Zhu's words were a little deep.

Li Yuan looked at Xu Zhu in astonishment, and said, "Zhongkang, why do you speak more and more like Zhicai? It seems that you have been poisoned by him a lot."

Xu Zhu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know anything.

"I'll write you a secret letter, and you send someone to Zhongde to ask him to pay more attention to Wenpin and Wang Wei, and delegate power to them to drill the navy, but you can't completely trust them, let him take care of himself. "After Li Yuan finished speaking, he took a pen and wrote a letter, and handed it to Xu Zhu.

"Yes, my subordinates will send people to Lujiang immediately." Xu Zhu was about to leave after speaking.

"Wait," Li Yuan called Xu Zhu back, "When you went to Xuzhou with them, did they behave abnormally?"

Xu Zhu bowed his head and recalled: "There is nothing unusual about it, they are very honest, but they are very surprised after seeing the prosperous scene of Xuzhou."

"That's good, you go." Li Yuan said in relief.

Two months later, Li Yuan returned to Xiapi and handed Xiangyang over to Gan Ning and Xu Shu. After several months, tens of thousands of captives in Xiangyang gradually surrendered. As soon as possible to have a sense of belonging, Li Yuan asked Yan Xiang to transfer a group of craftsmen from Lujiang to Xiangyang and Jiangxia respectively a few months ago to remodel warships for the naval forces in Xiangyang and Jiangxia.

This time, Li Yuan in Jingzhou avoided the most important ones and did not directly fight the Jingzhou navy on the water. However, in the future when he fights with Sun Ce, he will inevitably fight on the river. Therefore, the combat power of the navy must be improved. The Jiangdong navy is definitely more difficult to deal with than the Jingzhou navy. In addition, there are strong generals like Sun Ce, military advisers like Zhou Yu, and veterans on the battlefield like Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang. Attacking Jiangdong may lose a lot of troops.
