Three Kingdoms

Chapter 725: Rangers and Gentlemen

In Pingyuan County, in the early spring season when all things sprout, the spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and all things are recovering. It is the season of spring again. Liu Bei's mind is like a wild cat in spring, as if there are millions of paws incessantly scratching his heart.

This is a season that makes people feel excited, especially when Liu Bei read Tai Shigong's book, he seemed to hear the groan in his heart, oh, that's wrong, the call...

When Taizu Liu Bang set foot on that road, he was just a pavilion chief, but now Liu Bei himself is already the prime minister of a country. Isn't it still inferior to that of the early Han Dynasty?

Although Pingyuan Country, hey, even though it is a country, it is just that. It is not much better than the so-called county town, but at least it can be regarded as a regular Pingyuan country, right?

Even if you meet someone, you must call him Liu Shijun...

If before Liu Bei met Gongsun Zan, perhaps Liu Bei would be content to settle in the plains, educate people about people's livelihood, and take care of the fields, but now...

Maybe it’s not all Gongsun Zan’s fault, and maybe he didn’t come up with this idea after arriving in Youzhou. Maybe when he was in Suanzao, maybe it started when he was not even qualified to sit in the Chinese army’s tent...

"Isn't it possible that the only one who is strong in the world is Duke Dong?" Liu Bei muttered this sentence in his heart, and then added another sentence secretly, "isn't it possible that the only one who is strong in the world is Duke Yuan?"

Liu Bei looked at the north, as if looking at the land in the north, with deep eyes, and said: "General Gongsun has sent a letter..."

Guan Yu said: "What are you talking about?"

"...Order us to organize our troops to stabilize the people and obey the orders of Governor Tian..." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that... there has been a change?"

Tian Kai is currently the governor of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zanbiao. Naturally, he is Liu Bei's superior. It is natural for Liu Bei to follow Tian Kai's orders, so why bother to emphasize it again in the letter?

Although Gongsun Zan is now a marquis, he is actually still a knight-errant. His attitude towards Liu Bei is basically due to loyalty. At first he welcomed him, and then when he saw Liu Bei's lack of soldiers, he immediately assigned a group of cavalry to come. Follow Liu Bei's orders.

The relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan was just a brief friendship under Lu Zhi's disciples...

It can be said that the meaning of righteousness is unparalleled. Of course, this righteousness is also shared by both parties and is not free. Now it is time for Liu Bei to repay this righteousness.

"Bogui wants to go south..." Liu Bei sighed.

Gongsun Zan sent Tian Kai and Liu Bei here just to drive a nail in Yuan Shao's back. Now that he was ready to take action, of course he also wanted to inform Tian Kai and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said with a slight tone of admiration: "Bogui is far-sighted, and I can't wait."

Now that Gongsun Zan is going south, he will first face Yuan Shao, but he is not only facing Yuan Shao, but also the status gap between rangers and nobles that has been formed since the beginning of Liu Xiu...

The nobles do not oppose the ranger, and sometimes even get close to the ranger, praise the ranger, and to a certain extent, give the green light to the ranger's various illegal behaviors and provide shelter. Despite this, the ranger is always a ranger, a knife, and a sword. The sword must never turn into a human being, a child of the noble clan.

In the minds of the vast majority of gentry children, the best place for a ranger is to guard the country at the border, just like Gongsun Zan. However, if it in turn affects the status of gentry children, this behavior will be difficult to accept...

Doesn’t Gongsun Zan know?

When his younger brother died inexplicably, Gongsun Zan still did not dare to directly oppose Yuan Shu. Instead, he knocked out his teeth and swallowed him. He still maintained a good relationship with Yuan Shu, but started to take action against Yuan Shao. Can't he Explain something?

Gongsun Bogui...

For Liu Bei, it would be better if Gongsun Zan kept him as a confidant and used his military talents in his hometown Youzhou. However, Gongsun Zan's decision has been made, and Liu Bei can't say anything and can only assist Tian Kai. Explore Qingzhou and look for opportunities amidst hardships.

"Counting the time, it's almost time for the third brother to return, right?" Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu nodded and said: "There was a news report the day before yesterday, saying that the bandit stronghold has been destroyed, and they should be back soon..."

Because there is still Zang Hong in Qingzhou.

After the Suizao alliance, Zhang Chao could not return to Guangling, so he stayed in Chenliu and sent Zang Hong to Youzhou to contact Liu Yu.

Zang Hong naturally had to pass through Jizhou when traveling from south to north, so he met with Yuan Shao. Perhaps because of the words he had spoken for Yuan Shao at the meeting, Yuan Shao also valued Zang Hong's talents when he saw him. It happened that Jiao Hebing, the governor of Qingzhou, After his death, Yuan Shao appointed Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou.

So now there are also two governors in Qingzhou, one appointed by Yuan Shao and the other appointed by Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Kai to do something behind Yuan Shao's back, and naturally Yuan Shao also arranged for Zang Hong to contain him. Liu Bei took a preemptive strike and began to continuously expand the scope of the suppression of bandits. In fact, he was worried that these bandits would become a hidden danger in the rear in the event of a battle with Zang Hong.

Not only are there two governors of Qingzhou, but there are also two people who are prime ministers of Pingyuan. In addition to Liu Bei, there is another person, Chen Ji.

However, Chen Ji was just a famous person in the world, and he had no problem handling government affairs, but he did not have much ability to lead the army. Therefore, the gangsters he retained during this period actually made Liu Bei's reputation.

Prime Minister Pingyuan is interesting now. Chen Ji is in charge of administration and Liu Bei is in charge of military affairs. It seems that there will be problems. Perhaps it is because Liu Bei has always expressed a humble attitude in front of Chen Ji, so in fact, the relationship between Chen Ji and Liu Bei is not I imagined it would be that bad.

In Chen Ji's heart, Liu Bei is still a well-known ranger and a border warrior. Although he has begun to be called "benevolent and righteous" among the common people, in fact, there has not been much change. The nobles are still the nobles. Chen Ji is talking to some local people When scholars hold literary conferences, they almost never think of a figure like Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu said: "When the third brother comes back, we will no longer go to war. We will train our soldiers and equip them with military supplies." The battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao is about to begin, and maybe Zang Hong will come with his troops in a few days. Attack, you have to prepare in advance.

Although Liu Bei was very touched, the current situation did not allow him to change immediately. Maybe he would first see how far Bogui could go...

Guan Yu nodded silently. With the tacit understanding between him and Liu Bei, there were many things that he did not need to say too clearly. He would naturally understand what Liu Bei meant. However, Guan Yu believed that the faith pursued by the ranger was his belief. As for those words They say they are aboveboard, but they are actually male thieves and female prostitutes. What good can they do?

Judging from the historical situation: Guan Yu should be a knight through and through... Zhang Fei should be a combination of a knight and a poor family... Liu Bei is an example of a poor family becoming a wealthy family... When he is in poverty, there will naturally not be much conflict of interest. , but... Therefore, in the late Jingzhou period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei no longer shared the same bed as they did at the beginning...
