Chapter 691 Liu, Guan, Zhang, Zhao
Liu Ye actually didn't sleep well last night.
Because when he knew that Liu Qi treated Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun favorably and entrusted them with important internal and external responsibilities, he couldn't help but feel extremely worried.
Liu Ye is a good person and has read countless people. Although he met Liu Bei for the first time at yesterday's banquet, he could tell after just one night of communication that this man's ability and mind were extraordinary, and that he had a certain charisma all over his body.
The cohesion that makes people feel heartbroken is nothing ordinary.
What's more, he is Liu Yu's right-hand man, a clan clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Qi's clan uncle! You must know that Liu Qi has always fought under the banner of clan auxiliary country in the world. Liu Bei joined Liu Qi's camp, although he can give Liu Qi
To build momentum, but at the same time, he can also use Liu Qi's name to reach the peak of his reputation.
But judging from the current situation, Liu Qi can't do anything to Liu Bei easily.
Because the Alliance to Protect the Lord was initiated by Liu Biao and Liu Qi and his son, and the Youzhou clan faction has always been a strong supporter of the Alliance to Protect the Lord. Liu Bei's help in assisting Liu Yu can be regarded as having made great contributions to the clan. If Liu Qi casually attacks him
, the public opinion in the world will inevitably push him to be on the opposite side of the clan, which is extremely detrimental to Liu Qi's political stance.
In Liu Ye's view, Liu Qi could fully support Liu Bei, and there was no need to give him such an important position as lieutenant general.
But he didn't expect that when he came to see Liu Qi today, the answer Liu Qi gave him was that he was testing Liu Bei... What was going on?
Are you saying this on purpose because you are afraid of losing face?
Seeing Liu Ye's doubtful face, Liu Qi explained to him: "Yesterday I appointed Liu Bei as the Zhonglang General, and then told him about the lack of strong generals under his command, but Liu Bei did not shy away from suspicion and took the initiative to recommend his generals to me.
, this is my temptation.”
Liu Ye said: "What are you testing?"
"Testing Liu Bei's pattern."
"Appreciate further details."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Liu Bei came from afar and was treated favorably by me as a lieutenant general. He must be grateful. No matter what kind of person he is, if I treat him like this alone, he will be willing to do it for me in the next few years."
What I used...and the reason why I asked him about Guan, Zhang, and Zhao was actually because I wanted to see if Liu Bei himself had figured out his position."
"If he just shirks the blame and doesn't dare to let his three generals take on this important task, it means that he knows it well and is serving me wholeheartedly. He doesn't have any thoughts of becoming powerful, he just wants to find a place to settle down... so
, I will treat him sincerely, and I will try my best to promote him and reuse him."
Liu Ye nodded thoughtfully and said: "But Liu Bei didn't...he took advantage of the situation and let his three warriors go to serve in various counties...does he have the intention of becoming powerful under the king?"
Liu Qi shook his head and said: "No, Liu Bei has just come under my command, and he has never heard of it. He can't think so far. The reason why he followed the trend and recommended the three generals to serve in various places is completely subconscious."
"Subconscious?" Liu Ye didn't understand the word.
"The subconscious meaning is that Liu Bei, from the moment he was born, has been a person who will not let go of opportunities. When the opportunity is placed in front of him, he will drive himself to do what can make him stronger without thinking.
Things that can also benefit him... maybe he doesn't think about it that much at all, it's just a habit."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi sighed and said: "For people who are naturally unwilling to admit defeat, ambitious, and want to become stronger, their awareness of wanting to become stronger may have inadvertently been integrated into every aspect of daily life, even every detail...
…Such people may not be successful for a while, but as they accumulate time and space, they will definitely succeed.”
Liu Ye still didn't understand what Liu Qi said, but he was clearly aware of a problem.
That is, Liu Bei is indeed a person who can achieve great things, and he has the potential.
"No matter what, the officials still feel that the monarch's move is inappropriate... According to the officials, the monarch should either take back the position of Liu Bei's lieutenant general, or he should not allow his three generals to live in the three counties."
Liu Qi smiled when he heard this: "Since Ziyang is so worried about Liu Bei...how about I kill him."
Liu Ye was shocked when he heard this: "Absolutely not! Liu Bei is a hero among the clan. He has assisted Da Sima in responding to the alliance to protect the emperor in recent years. If he is killed for no reason, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the emperor, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Maybe I will use this as a reason to discredit you!"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "In that case, how about placing Liu Bei in a good place?"
"What a good place?" Liu Ye asked puzzledly.
Liu Qi didn't speak. He just thought of Pang Tong's advice to him that day.
At that time, Pang Tong was holding a three-legged wine cup and told Liu Qi that as long as he put a support of different lengths under the wine cup, the wine cup would fall down...
"It's hard to say this is a good place right now, and my uncle Xuande may not be able to go there, because his current status is not good enough, so he needs to be praised again..."
Liu Ye didn't understand the meaning of Liu Qi's words.
Is it enough for Liu Qi to appoint Liu Bei as Zhonglang General? Then what other status should he be appointed to?
"As for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, you don't have to worry." Liu Qi said calmly: "I appointed the three of them as captains of the three counties, but the situation is quite special."
Liu Ye then humbly asked for advice.
Liu Qi said slowly and authentically: "Zhang Fei is the captain of Yuexun County and helps the military manage Nanzhong. This Yuexun captain's position is indeed real, but Ziyang, don't forget, we are currently implementing the policy of restraining the emperor in Nanzhong.
That is to say, all the affairs of each county, including the military in the south, are in the hands of the Southern Barbarians we want to appoint, and sending troops to supervise them may arouse the suspicion of the barbarians, which is purely redundant. Therefore, Zhang Fei, the captain, actually does not have much
Soldiers and horses can be mobilized, because his power in Nanzhong actually overlaps with that of the barbarian king we appointed to run the army...it can only be said that it is just a decoration."

All the military power has been concentrated in the hands of my brother Liu Pan, and the soldiers of the seven counties in Jingnan are also provided by Wuling Man and Xiangjiang Man in turns to guard the border every year. Those Jing Man because of the position of the Barbarian King and the policy of disobedience, and
I kept in close contact with me, and all the soldiers of the county and state were actually indirectly controlled by me, while the truly intimidating Chinese army was under the control of my brother Liu Pan. When Guan Yu arrived in Lingling, although he could nominally lead Lingling.
However, all he needs to do is give a letter to the barbarian leaders, and his soldiers will immediately switch sides. Moreover, my brother's military strength will always be absolutely overwhelming against the counties in Jingnan. This is why I
The bottom line is, so if Guan Yu goes, he will go. He can't recruit his own troops at all. Instead, he will be mobilized and monitored at will by my brother Liu Pan."
When Liu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realized.
After a pause, Liu Ye asked again: "What about Zhao Yun? If the king sends him to the east, there will be neither Nanman nor Jingman, and there will be no policy of dissemination or restraint. Everything should be followed.
The military system of our Han Dynasty is beyond our control."
"If you can't control it, you can't control it." Liu Qi shook his head indifferently and said: "Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's supervisor, and he is on an equal footing with him. Although the relationship between them is good, fundamentally speaking, Zhao Yun is different from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Then
The two of them are Liu Bei's subordinates, and Zhao Yun can only be regarded as Liu Bei's colleague... Now I separate Zhao Yun from them, entrust them with important tasks, and give them kindness. It won't take long before Zhao Yun will truly become my subordinate.
