Chapter 344 There are still many good people!
"I think the two generals are too kind."
Liu Biao held his chest and looked at Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue with great sorrow.
Gongsun Yue's face darkened. They were kind? This was the first time he heard that there was no Wuhuan who was not afraid of him and his brother.
Gongsun Zan was in mixed feelings, fearing that Xuande might be saying that he was kind.
"Sir, why don't we follow what the general did before?" Gongsun Yue asked tentatively.
Liu Biao frowned slightly. "Youzhou was like this before I came, and it's still like this after I came. Isn't this a waste of time?"
"Since you two generals are kind-hearted and do not want the Wuhuan people to be slaughtered," Liu Biao pondered for a long time and asked in an inquiring tone, "How about this? Let's lure the leader of the Wuhuan tribe who disrespects the court here and kill him at the banquet. What do you two generals think?"
"This"
Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue looked at each other. Compared with their previous shocking words of slaughtering the Wuhuan, this method now seemed to sound much more reliable. Once the leader of the bandits was eliminated, the remaining Wuhuan would be easier to deal with. After all, Liu Biao was helping the two of them, so what reason did they have to refuse?
However, Gongsun Yue said with some concern: "Sir, it is not easy to get the bandits to gather together."
"Don't worry, General." Liu Biao patted his chest, "I have my own way to deal with it, but I still need to trouble you two generals."
Gongsun Zan immediately expressed his opinion, "Envoy, please tell me how we can cooperate!"
"Good." Liu Biao nodded with a smile and spoke slowly.
"Why hasn't the envoy come out yet?"
Lu Renjia, who was waiting outside the tent, was looking forward to it. He had heard of Gongsun Zan's reputation. The conflict with Liu Yu had made everyone in Youzhou know about it. However, Gongsun Bogui and General Wei were as close as brothers.
I think everything will be fine, right?
While Lu Renjia was thinking, a quarrel suddenly broke out, which startled him and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
The thing he worried about finally happened.
"You want me to stop attacking Wuhuan?"
"It's really a foolish dream!"
"Huh? Liu Jingsheng, tell me if you can really do it!"
"Where is Tian Guorang? Keep an eye on him!"
"Someone is here to see you off!"
Under Lu Renjia's vigilant gaze, Liu Biao walked out dejectedly with his head lowered, followed by a well-proportioned young man who looked to be no older than 40 years old.
Without caring about the young man at the moment, Lu Renjia hurried forward, looking left and right, fearing that something might have gone wrong with Liu Biao.
"Envoy, are you okay?"
Liu Biao was like a defeated rooster. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"It's just that there was something unpleasant during the discussion just now. I think it must be a misunderstanding."
It doesn't look like a misunderstanding.
Lu Renjia was about to say this when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that the tone of Liu Biao in front of him was completely different from that on the road. No matter how dangerous the road was, Liu Biao never complained. Could it be that Envoy Liu did it on purpose?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he swallowed every word he had just said, and then his gaze shifted away from Liu Biao and pointed directly at the person behind Liu Biao.
"Envoy, who is this person?"
Liu Biao looked at the young man. Without Liu Biao saying anything, the young man clasped his fists towards Lu Renjia and said, "My surname is Tian, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Guorang. I am from Yongnu, Yuyang. I have been ordered to contact General Gongsun for matters."
"I see. Nice to meet you, Mr. Tian." Lu Renjia replied with a fist salute.
Looking at Tian Yu, Liu Biao's lips curled up into a smile. Tian Yu was a talented person mentioned by both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. When he stayed in Chang'an, General Zhang Fei once knocked on his door and specifically requested him not to let Tian Yu run away. Little did he know that Liu Bei had also told him privately that "Tian Guorang is a man of strategy and talent."
As for how Liu Bei knew Tian Yu?
joke.
General Wei is originally from Youzhou, so how could he not know the talented people in Youzhou?
Ji County
Youzhou Governor's Mansion
Officials of all ranks stretched their necks and gazed into the distance.
"Why hasn't Governor Liu returned yet?" "I told you that Governor Liu shouldn't have been allowed to go to Gongsun Bogui's camp!"
"If anything goes wrong, what should we do?"
"Isn't this a betrayal of the commander's instructions?"
Qi Zhou stamped his feet in anxiety.
Zhang Xing curled his lips. "Qi Gongshi, how can we dissuade Governor Liu? Who told Governor Liu not to listen to our advice?"
Qi Zhou was so angry at Zhang Xing's nonchalant attitude that he was fuming. Zhang Yi, Sun Jin, Zhang Zan and others were about to scold Zhang Xing.
At this moment, a low, hoarse and tired voice sounded
"quiet."
Everyone turned around and saw a thin middle-aged man walking out with a cane and a shaky body. Qi Zhou took two steps at a time and walked forward quickly, "Mr. Wei! You, you, how did you get out!"
This man's surname was Wei, and his name was You. He came from a humble background, and was a person Liu Yu trusted quite a lot. Of course, Wei You's talent was worthy of Liu Yu's trust, and he was also quite prestigious among the officials in the prefecture. Unfortunately, his health was too poor, which made Qi Zhou feel particularly distressed.
Seeing Wei You coming out, everyone who had been talking suddenly shut up tacitly, and no one dared to provoke Wei You.
"What happened?" Wei You asked.
Qi Zhou sighed, "We have been waiting for Governor Liu for a long time, but we have never seen Governor Liu return."
As he was speaking, the guard came hurriedly reporting.
"Wei Beijia, Governor Liu, Governor Liu has returned!"
This good news really made Qi Zhou feel relieved.
However, as soon as Liu Biao returned to the provincial capital, he summoned the provincial officials.
Everyone gathered together in confusion, and Liu Biao got straight to the point after a few polite words.
"I want to get rid of Gongsun Bogui."
This was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone looked at Liu Biao in disbelief. They had heard that Liu Biao personally worshipped Gongsun Zan, and they thought that Liu Biao was also a benevolent gentleman like Liu Yu. They never expected that this gentleman would suddenly lift up his robe and reveal the dagger inside. He turned out to be a determined assassin? !
Wei You asked calmly, "Sir, why is this?"
"Gongsun Bogui is arrogant and rude. I wanted to persuade him to give up the idea of attacking Wuhuan, but he insisted that I gather all the leaders of the tribes outside the Great Wall together, otherwise forget it. Considering the conflicts with the Grand Commandant before, how can a man like me be humiliated like this!"
As he said this, Liu Biao drew his sword angrily, wishing he could kill Gongsun Zan with his own hands.
Zhang Xing was delighted, great, great, this guy turned out to be a very popular gentleman, that was really great.
So he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I have a plan."
"Please say."
Zhang Xing cleared his cough and said, "I think we should take advantage of their situation."
"Take advantage of the enemy's tactics?" Liu Biao asked hurriedly.
Zhang Xing nodded in satisfaction at Liu Biao's reaction. He continued, "Sir, we will mobilize the power of our clans and invite the leaders of the various tribes outside the Wuhuan Great Wall. However, the location should be decided by us. If Gongsun Bogui comes, we will take advantage of the drunkenness to smash the cups as a signal to attract 800 swordsmen and kill him in the chaos. If Gongsun Bogui does not come, we can use this as an opportunity to make a big fuss."
"Sir, you are a talented person!" Liu Biao bowed hurriedly.
Seeing that his plan was recognized and even very likely to be adopted, Zhang Xing smiled brightly. Governor Liu was so impulsive, which showed that his strategy was far inferior to that of the Grand Marshal. If we get rid of Gongsun Bogui, wouldn't Youzhou belong to us?
Seeing Zhang Xing smile, Liu Biao also smiled, and even cast a grateful look at him.
There are still a lot of good people in Youzhou. Before I even spoke, people were already vying to give me pillows.
Liu Biao decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Gentlemen, those who agree with Mr. Zhang please stand up."
