Lu's relatives

Chapter 629 Dark Gap, Which of the Three States ([-])
Yecheng.It was originally Yuan Shao's chariot and cavalry general in the mansion.Yuan Shang, who already had a mature face, was sitting behind the deliberately padded desk in the meeting hall, listening to the report of Yecheng Xiang Xin on the status quo of Jizhou, with a hint of impatience on his face. However, he had to forcefully put on a diligent and enthusiastic look, but his mouth was getting tighter and tighter.

"Xin Xiang, if there is any uncertainty about the defense of Jizhou, you can ask the two generals Wen Chou and Zhang Jai. This is a matter of people's governance. As the Prime Minister of Yecheng, Xin Xiang can deal with all the bureaucrats by himself. Big and small, report one by one. Firstly, it is a waste of time, and secondly, someone is still young, and his knowledge may not be comparable to that of a person like Xin Xiang who has a long history of political affairs. Although Jizhou is still in charge, it still depends on others It is you who work hard and sincerely help each other." Seeing that Xin Zhe had been talking about Yecheng's defense, military equipment, people's livelihood, taxation and other matters for half an hour, and still had no intention of stopping, Yuan Shang managed to find Xin Taking the opportunity to pause, he forced a smile and said.

"My lord, this is Madam and two military advisers..." Seeing Yuan Shang say this, Xin Zhe's face showed a look of distress.Looking up at the veil behind Yuan Shang, the meaning behind his words is self-evident.

"Don't worry, Xin Xiang. I heard that Liu Bei, who is rumored to be unparalleled in righteousness and righteousness, came to Yecheng in person today. Madam does not want to neglect, and Tian Fengju sent two military advisers out of the city to meet him." Yuan Shang waved his hand impatiently. , seemed to be very indifferent to Xin Bi's attitude of only focusing on Liu Shi and Tian Feng Jushou, and explained a sentence very casually.

"Liu Bei? The person you are talking about is Liu Xuande of Zhuo County?"

"It's this person! What's the matter? Didn't Xin Xiang meet this person? That's right, I used to hear that this person is a kind and righteous hero, but I haven't seen his true face. I heard that he has some connections with my Yuan family?" Seeing Xin Qi's complexion was not right, Yuan Shang suddenly became interested and asked.

"Hmph! I don't know what this Tian Feng Jushou wants to do!" Xin Bi snorted coldly when he heard Yuan Shang's question, then stood up and said, "I wonder if you still remember the siege of the black mountain bandits that day?"

"Huh?" Hearing Xin Qi talking about Montenegro, Yuan Shang's face suddenly flashed a hint of sinister color, but then he hid it, and asked: "Xin Xiang said that when the second brother was in charge of Jizhou, he was killed by the Black Mountain bandits. Zhang Yan lied about the time when the city of Ye was almost captured by thieves?"

"That's right!" Xin Bi didn't notice Yuan Shang's strangeness, and said angrily: "Young Master, you don't know something, let alone the matter of the siege of Heishan, and Liu Bei who came with [-] Youzhou soldiers at that time. The black mountain bandits were hunted down by Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and General Wen Chou, and many remnants were recruited by that Liu Bei. It is not difficult to guess what Liu Bei did when he coveted Jizhou. It's just Seeing that the young master and Wen Hou are on good terms, this is what happened later, and he did not dare to do anything wrong again! If it is just that Liu Bei is here to visit the old lady and has no other intentions, then a certain person is the first to disbelieve it! He came to Jizhou , there must be a plan, the young master has to guard against it!"

"He is a mere land without a cone, and he even relies on the support of Gongsun Zan for military supplies. What can he do? Could it be that he wants to plot Jizhou?" Yuan Shang shook his head with a smile, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but Seeing Xin's serious expression, he said slowly, "But since Xiang Xiang has warned you, when you see that Liu Bei, you should be more careful."

"My lord is good at accepting people's words, and I will definitely be able to do something in the future! My lord's spirit is in the sky, I should be very comforted!" After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Xin Bi left with a gratified expression on his face.

"This Xin Bi! You think he's my teacher because of his soft words?! Huh!" Xin Bi naturally didn't know that Yuan Shang, who had just left his forefoot and was an extremely humble corporal, didn't hide it anymore. With a look of patience, he muttered: "How can I not know who that Liu Bei is? I still need you to teach me?!"

"Shang'er!" Yuan Shang was sneering at the direction Xin Bi was leaving. After getting up, behind the veil that Xin Bi had just stared at, a beautiful woman came out. , Yuan Shang's biological mother, Liu Shi, who was brought back to Jizhou from Linzi.Seeing that Mrs. Liu had heard what he said with Xin Ba just now, Yuan Shang hurriedly stepped down from the main case, supported Mrs. Liu's arm, and let Mrs. Liu onto the soft couch.

"Shang'er doesn't like that Xin Bi a lot?" Liu Shian did a good job, sat on the side holding Yuan Shang's hand, and asked with a smile.

"I made my mother laugh!" Yuan Shang bowed his head and said, "It's not that my son is ignorant. It's just that in this Jizhou, after Yuan Xi stayed for a while, the civil and military affairs of Yecheng seem to have been bought by him a lot. In the son After taking power, these people sometimes have respectful words because a certain surname is also Yuan, but in fact they are watching the jokes of a certain child in their hearts. Let’s just say that this is Xinzi, because it is because of Tian Fengju’s teaching. Because of the fate of the two, they had to tell each other about state affairs occasionally, or they just picked some trivial matters to bother each other. It was really a big matter, so why did I see these people come to discuss with a certain person? It was really like a child who couldn't tell the difference Is it serious? According to my son, in their hearts, the positions of the two military advisers are probably more important than the three sons of Mr. Yuan!"

"Shang'er has grown up to think like this!" Mrs. Liu was not annoyed when she heard Yuan Shang's complaints. Instead, she put her hand on Yuan Shang's bun and said, "That's right! Mother can see clearly the morals of this world. What identity! What status! What backing! In the end, we are all unreliable, and only we can believe it. You see, Xin Bi, who followed your father from Bohai when he was alive, is also quite talented. He was appointed Prime Minister of Bohai. He was your father's confidant until he entered Jizhou, but his reputation gradually faded when more people joined him. But with his qualifications, after your father died and the Yuan family split , but he has become the top figure of my Yuan family. Now he is in charge of the government affairs of Jizhou. You and I are left as orphans and widowed mothers, and you are young, so you are not taken seriously? Your father has been dead for almost five years, but he still refuses to call you the lord, which is the best portrayal of this group of people. In this regard, although your two masters have helped you and my mother and son, they may not have the same thoughts in their hearts."

"Mother! This..." Although Liu Shi often commented with Yuan Shang on weekdays on Yuan Shang's old official who is now an official in Jizhou, he never said such words to him.Especially in the past, I always had to let myself respect my teacher, and treat Tian Feng Jushou, these two great counselors with great wisdom, as a teacher and a father.But what Liu said now is exactly the opposite of what he usually said.The meaning in the words seems to be that even Tian Feng Jushou can't believe it all.This made Yuan Shang a little confused for a while.As for Tian Feng and Jushou, these two people have shared joys and sorrows with Yuan Shang for quite a while.When he was in Linzi, if it wasn't for the two people's resourcefulness, making him befriend Qin Xu, or even flattering him, Yuan Shang really couldn't guarantee that Lu Bu, who had a lot of quarrels with his father Yuan Shao, would directly I clicked myself.Later, these two people did not hesitate to their own reputations, and tried every means to save him and the Liu family, taking advantage of Lu Bu's scheming, and successfully escaped, and then took Yuan Xi's place and became the current lord of Jizhou .Why did Mrs. Liu say these two people should be guarded against?

"Hmph! Do you know why your father, when he was alive, knew that these two men had astonishing talents, but refused to use them again?" It seemed that Yuan Shang would ask this question, and Liu gently embraced Yuan Shang. Leaning his head on his shoulder, without waiting for Yuan Shang to reply, he continued, "That's right, if we only talk about the wisdom of these two people, any one of them can even be said to be able to pacify Hebei, stockpile the capital of the enemy's country, and become a king and overlord." But these two people, Tian Feng is self-willed and Ju Shou is stubborn and stubborn. Although they have no self-reliance, they are both ignorant of dignity and intolerable! Nowadays, Shang'er and you are still young. If you are old and you have the heart to return to the glory of your father in the past, the two people in Jizhou who only know their name but not yours can say nothing. It will become your great enemy in the future. Therefore, if you don't have enough ability to control the two of you, even if you want to use these two of you now, you should make plans early and take precautions!"

"What the mother taught! The son understands what the mother means! Just as the mother said, it is time to employ people. Cao Cao is undeterred in Jizhou, Lu Bu is watching from the sidelines, and the hatred of Gongsun Zan in the past is hesitating, and now it is coming again Liu Bei, who has no clear intentions but is definitely not a kind person, is about to use the wisdom of the two masters taught by Tian Fengju for my use. Therefore, my son must act as if he is humbly asking for advice from the ministers, and at the same time be kind to his subordinates. , but also try our best to serve the two masters well, and use their wisdom to secure Jizhou!" Yuan Shang wiped the cold sweat from his brow, straightened up, and said slowly.

"Shang'er's words are very kind! Cao Cao's plans are great, Lu Bu's intentions are quite clear, and Gongsun Zan's hatred is far-reaching, but they all show on the bright side, but this Liu Bei..." With a sneer, he said: "As far as I know, since Liu Bei started his army in Zhuojun County, he has always been unlucky to recite words, conquer the yellow scarves and be burdened by Lu Zhi, and the battle of the tiger prison is also blocked by your second uncle Gong Gong. It's easy to find a place to live, but your father gave it to Lu Bu. It's so easy to take shelter of Gongsun Zan and save a lot of money, but he got involved with Lu Bu and suffered a lot of losses. Now he's very carefree. We in Jizhou, if we don’t want something, we must have a plan, so don’t be careless. People say that this guy is the best at climbing up, but he has the name of benevolence and righteousness, so there are a group of minions around him I have devoted my whole life to serving him. Well, when he comes, my mother will meet him personally!"
