King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 498
Li Lin said softly: "Guo Rang is very good at the art of war and strategy, but if he is talking about playing tricks, he can't compare to that Liu He and those old men!"

Xu Miao said worriedly: "But my lord is going to be in Xuchang. If something happens to Liu He, my lord can just..." As he spoke, Xu Miao looked at Li Lin and frowned.

Li Lin nodded and said, "I'm also worried about this, but I already have a candidate to deal with Liu Heshi, let's see if this person is willing..."

Xu Miao asked doubtfully, "This person is..."

Li Lin smiled evilly and said, "Hehe, he's here!" Xu Miao was surprised when he heard something, and then he saw Li Lin's playful eyes. With Li Lin's eyes, he saw a literati walking slowly towards the main hall. His blue clothes were blown by the autumn wind. Because he was tall, he looked even more elegant.

"Cheng Yu!" When Xu Miao saw the person coming, he couldn't help being surprised, and then looked at Li Lin with surprised eyes, and said, "My lord said he..."

Li Lin nodded slightly and said, "Look at this!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu had already walked to the entrance of the main hall, and immediately a guard ran in and said to Li Lin: "Master, Cheng Yu, please see me!"

Li Lin nodded and waved his hands. The guards understood and went out immediately. After a while, Cheng Yu slowly walked up the steps and walked to the door. He suddenly stopped and took off his shoes. Li Lin saw Then nodded appreciatively.

Cheng Yu walked in slowly, came in front of Li Lin, bowed his hands together and said, "Meet Liaohou!"

Li Lin immediately said: "Master Shangshu, excuse me!"

Cheng Yu said: "Thank you Marquis Liao!"

"I don't know that Lord Shangshu is here, but do you understand what Lin said to Lord Shangshu in front of the south gate today?" Li Lin smiled faintly and said to Cheng Yu.

Standing below, Cheng Yu crossed his hands into his sleeves, lowered his head, and said, "What Liaohou said deeply admires me, and I can't understand the truth behind it even after thinking about it for a long time!"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Master Shangshu still doesn't understand? Why don't you come and listen to Lin?"

Cheng Yu's face remained unchanged, and he lowered his head and said: "Someone who doesn't understand may not be able to express it in words at all, and it will take time to verify!"

Li Lin nodded, and said: "My lord is right. All the arguments can only be realized after the baptism of time. No matter how clear a certain statement is, it is not the truth!"

Cheng Yu also shook his body meaningfully, and then said, "I wonder if Marquis Liao wants to use time to prove what he said?"

Li Lin laughed three times, and said: "Hehe, what your lord said is interesting, I have been trying to do this in Youliao!"

Cheng Yu said: "Then why did the Marquis of Liao kill more than 100 families in Beiping? Even though Marquis Liao didn't give the order, Marquis Liao definitely acquiesced in secret!"

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said: "A certain... In the matter of Beiping, it is indeed a little extreme. I admit this, but I still want to say that the world of the big man is controlled by the aristocratic family and the gentry. There are too many, otherwise the aristocratic family will only know their own interests, and sit back and watch the people suffer. , and the world will not be in chaos because of these natural disasters, I think that the current chaotic world is really a so-called man-made disaster, and the biggest disaster is the aristocratic family!"

Cheng Yu was also slightly shocked when he heard this, and lowered his head. Li Lin couldn't see Cheng Yu's expression clearly. After a while, Cheng Yu said: "Then, the Marquis of Liao doesn't know that this big man has no family, and he seems to have lost his mainstay. Without a pillar, how can we support the world of this big man!"

Li Lin said very meaningfully: "The mainstay? The people are the cornerstone of the great Han world. The world is built brick by brick. What's the use of the mainstay alone? The cornerstone is gone. No matter how thick you are The mainstay can't stand at all!"

After hearing Li Lin's words, Cheng Yu calmed down for a moment. Xu Miao, who was at the side, also glanced at Cheng Yu quietly. Xu Miao is the best friend of Li Lin's theory. That's why he followed Li Lin so desperately and ventured into the world together.

After a while, Cheng Yu bowed deeply to Li Lin and said, "I really admire what Marquis Liao said!"

Li Lin waved his hand and said, "Hey, Lord Shangshu doesn't need to be too polite! Since Lord Shangshu said so, did Lord Shangshu agree with what Lin said earlier?"

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "The Marquis of Liao had already closed the city gate and stopped chasing Duke Cao at that moment, so there is no room for someone not to agree!"

Li Lin said vaguely: "Master Shangshu, do you know that Mr. Cao..."

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "I know that Duke Cao's death was God's will. Although it is inseparable from Liao Hou, what can be done in this troubled world? God's will is so far. In fact, I and other mortals can change it. The only thing I want to do now The most important thing is to be able to contribute to the people of the world!"

Li Lin said again: "In fact, what a certain person said is similar to Cao Gong's meritocracy. It's just that although Cao Gong is a meritocracy, he only reformed the poor scholars. Whether it is the people or the family, all are equal, everyone has the right to live, if you indulge the family too much and despise the people, wouldn't people be divided into different classes?"

Cheng Yu paid homage to Li Lin again: "The Marquis of Liao is absolutely right!"

Li Lin smiled and said: "Hehehe, Lord Shangshu is an extremely smart person. Lord Shangshu must have seen through this little trick, and I hope Lord Shangshu can do his part for the people of this world!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yu didn't hesitate, immediately knelt down on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "I pay my respects to the lord!"

Li Lin got up quickly, walked in front of Cheng Yu, helped Cheng Yu up, and said with a smile: "In the past, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, conscripted my lord, but my lord refused many times, and when Cao Gong recruited my lord, my lord agreed immediately. When others asked the reason, my lord Smile without saying a word, and today, the adults also agreed to Lin, presumably it is the same reason!"

Cheng Yu listened to Li Lin's words, bowed his head and said: "Back then, a certain person took refuge in Duke Cao because he believed that Duke Cao cared about the world, and he didn't care about family status. Today, a certain person took refuge in the Marquis of Liao's command, but he understood that the Marquis of Liao had a heart in his heart. What matters are the people, not the world!"

Li Lin laughed and said: "Haha! Good! Good! My lord is really a great scholar of the country, and I can see through a certain mind, but my lord has also overlooked one point. I, Li Yuanjie, have the common people in my heart, precisely because I am The common people, the generals and brothers around me, many of them are also from poor families, and it is precisely because of this that we understand the sufferings of the common people better!"

Cheng Yu immediately cupped his hands and said, "So-and-so! I've been taught!"

Li Lin nodded, Cheng Yu seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said to Li Lin: "Liaohou, outside the palace gate, there is a capable General Li Tong under Duke Cao's command, and [-] soldiers. I have persuaded them to join Liaohou together. !"

After hearing this, Li Lin was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh? If what a certain person said disappoints the adults and doesn't take refuge with me, what will the 500-odd people do?"

Cheng Yu didn't change his face, and immediately said: "Fight the Marquis of Liao to the end!"

"Okay!" Li Lin took a look at the case in front of him and said, "As a general, you should be like this! You can't betray the master at will, but you should also know that you choose to serve the master, otherwise you will be foolish and loyal!" Li Lin said After finishing these words, I suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang. I don't know if the current Zhuge Liang has come out of the mountain. With Li Lin's interference, can he still have three parts of the world?
Thinking of this, Li Lin smiled wryly, Cheng Yu was very surprised, but he still said to Li Lin: "Liaohou, they are all confronting Liaohou's soldiers outside the palace gate, how about..."

Li Lin nodded immediately, waved to Fang Fang beside him and said, "Immediately order the soldiers to let them in, and General Li Tong come up to see me!"

Fang Fang hesitated and said: "General! This..." The implication is that Li Lin can't just believe what Cheng Yu said, and if Cheng Yu did all of this, Li Tong and others But what should I do if I came to assassinate Li Lin?
Li Lin understood what Fang Fang meant, waved his hands and said, "Go!"

Fang Fang had no choice but to nod, and walked out, but immediately sent people to the side of the main hall to send more people just in case, after all, even if it was a general like Zhu Ling who had already surrendered to Li Lin, the other generals would let him go if the time was too short. One point, it is even said that this is Li Tong and the others who have not yet surrendered. This is the world of military generals. The lord can accept surrendered generals generously to show that he is a benevolent lord. Have more eyes on this...

Seeing Li Lin's trust in him, Cheng Yu thought of several suspicious Cao Cao. After Liu Bei fled under the pretense of chasing the rebellious army, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia immediately suggested that Cao Cao send troops to pursue him, but after catching up, Liu Bei Said to the pursuers, "The general is away, and the king's life is not acceptable. You go back and report to Duke Cao for me. Before that, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu asked me for gold, silver, jade and silk many times, but I never gave them. Therefore They hold a grudge against me, and they still use slander to slander me in front of Mr. Cao at such a critical time. Mr. Cao has shown great kindness to me. If I am an unrighteous person, you can slander me here. I'll chop it into meat and forget it, so why go back and meet Cao Gong to argue? If you are willing to go back and explain my difficulties to Cao Gong, I am really grateful!" Liu Bei's words made the pursuers confused, and the result was I don't dare to speculate. After all, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia played a very important role in Cao Cao's side, and they retreated in a moment of confusion, which caused Liu Bei to flee to Liu Biao's place for a very absurd reason, and then began to deal with Cao Cao...
