Chapter 87 Liu Bei's Ambition

"Brother, why do you want to smash the door and kill Ye Zhao's little face and rob the second brother back?" Zhang Fei, who was talking to Liu Bei, asked while holding a pig's leg.

Although both of them already have wives and even children, they usually eat together, but they are used to eating with their brothers. Although they know that it is a bit far away to kill Ye Zhao now, after all, Liu Bei's current situation is a bit unoptimistic, but this is not a formal occasion, and Zhang Fei likes bragging or something. Moreover, Gongsun Zan is gone. He thinks that as long as Ye Zhao is killed, Guan Yu will definitely come back. Therefore, Zhang Fei is very motivated to kill Ye Zhao.

Liu Bei took a sip of the broth, sighed, then ate a bite of the pancake, and looked out the window and said, "It's not easy to talk about it. Now the situation is not optimistic!"

When Liu Yu died, the three-legged tripod he had mentioned had come true. Although Yuan Shao was still there, if Ye Zhao and Cao Cao were not there, Liu Bei believed that as long as he gave himself a year of rest and recuperation, he could swallow Yuan Shao with the newly obtained Hejian, Bohai, Zhongshan County, and the entire Youzhou.

But the reality is that with the two giants Ye Zhao and Cao Cao here, Liu Bei could not count on Yuan Shao's remaining territory. Moreover, for a long time in the future, he would have to be a human being with his tail between his tail and try to reduce his presence as much as possible. Let Cao Cao and Ye Zhao fight, farm, weave straw sandals, and have more sons whenever he has time. Watch the two great gods fight each other. Maybe one day they will have a chance.

Anyway, among the many princes, the one who lacks patience is Liu Bei. Because he was patient, he waited under Liu Yu's command until Liu Yu died, and became the governor of Youzhou, and today he became the governor of Youzhou.

"Didn't Mr. Yan suggest that we join forces with Cao Cao to fight against Ye Zhao together?" Zhang Fei took a bite of the pig's leg and looked at Liu Bei in confusion.

"But what if you finish Ye Zhao?" Liu Bei sighed and said, "Cao Cao will deal with us by turning around."

After following Liu Yu over the years, Liu Bei's overall view has also been somewhat good. He knew very well that no matter whether Cao Cao destroyed Ye Zhao or Ye Zhao destroyed Cao Cao, Liu Bei would not have a good end. Although he is the lord of a state now, in fact, he is only seeking to survive between Ye Zhao and Cao Cao.

"What should I do?" Zhang Fei said unhappily.

"Let's defeat Liaodong first." Liu Bei thought for a while, and he had to pick the persimmons softly. He couldn't pinch the two iron persimmons Ye Zhao and Cao Cao, so he could only pinch Gongsun Du, who was not as good as his.

"What's that mean?" Zhang Fei said a little depressed. In his opinion, there was no money or no one in the Liaodong area. Even if it was taken down, it would not be of any benefit to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sighed, looked up at the sky, his eyes turned red and said, "My third brother, how can I not know about my intentions? But now my Han Dynasty is in decline, and I can only rely on this Youzhou to compete with the treacherous ministers. Youzhou can be said to be the last pure land of my great Han. If I lose even the last territory of my great Han because of my momentary intent, even if I die on the battlefield in the future, and see my uncle in the nine springs, what will we face him?"

"Brother said that, let's fight Liaodong, and then fight Ye Zhao again." Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei's eyes were a little red, and he hurriedly said, "He is not afraid of heaven or earth, but he is afraid of the big men crying. But every time Liu Bei burst into tears, he was unable to cry, which made him not feel sissy at all, but felt sad. So when he saw Liu Bei's eyes turned red, he felt guilty.

"Lord!" Yan Rou brought Yan Zhi in and bowed to Liu Bei.

"It's Mr. Yan, have you eaten?" Zhang Fei stood up and handed the pig's legs to Yan Rou.

"It's been used." Yan Rou looked at the pig's legs that had been almost chewed, her mouth twitched twice, and she refused with a smile.

"Wenli, sit down." Liu Bei stood up and welcomed Yan Rou over and said with a smile: "It's not the yatang, Wenli doesn't have to be restricted. He is so quick, but what's the point?"

"There is indeed something important." Yan Rou handed a list of the list to Liu Bei and said: "This is the list of the list that has just been sent to various states in the name of Prince Yong's Mansion. Please take a look."

"Oh?" Liu Bei opened the list and smiled, "But what did the Grand Marshal do?"

"Not bad." Yan Rou sighed, "But this thing is very satisfying."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fei leaned over to Liu Bei, stared at the list text with wide eyes.

After a long time, he looked at Yan Juan blankly and said, "The Xianbei people were destroyed?"

"To be precise, it was the Central Xianbei." Yan Rou smiled.

"Did Ye Zhao do it?" Zhang Fei said in disbelief.

"Not bad!" Yan Rou knew that Zhang Fei had never looked at Ye Zhao much, and sighed: "After this battle, Bingzhou will not have to worry about Hu's troubles in the next hundred years."

"He is that powerful?" Zhang Fei still didn't believe it: "It's not a false report, right?"

"It should not be. This list of articles is announced to the world in the name of Prince Yong's Mansion. If it is falsely reported, it will not only not increase its momentum, but will instead become a laughing stock among the people of the world. With Ye Zhao's ability, he would not do such things." Yan Rou shook his head and said.

"Wenli can tell..." After a long time, Liu Bei looked up at Yan Juju and said, "As far as I know, there has been no large-scale military mobilization in Bingzhou recently. How did Ye Zhao do this?"

As an unfriendly neighbor, he was a huge figure who could attack at any time. He has always paid attention to the mobilization of Ye Zhao's troops, but Ye Zhao didn't seem to have many troops in Bingzhou, and it seemed to be to make Liu Bei and Cao Cao fight with confidence. After capturing Bingzhou, many troops were withdrawn. Where did he get the troops to destroy the central Xianbei?

"Using barbarians to control barbarians." Yan Rou thought for a while and said, "In fact, when the Taiwei was in Macheng, he used a similar method to secretly control a small tribe, and then let the small tribe grow and fight against other tribes. It was the Taiwei who promoted the three-legged tripod in Macheng, which made the Wuhuan, the Xianbei Royal Court and the Kebieneng tribe form a three-legged tripod and continuously consumed their vitality. Unfortunately, later the Wuhuan was defeated by General Gongsun, and the three-legged tripod was broken. This time, the Taiwei spent a year secretly supporting dozens of tribes, competing with Kebieneng and the royal court, and constantly plundering the population and resources of the Xianbei."

"After years of melee, the Xianbei was already weak. After a year of deprivation, it was almost extremely weak. Kebien and the Xianbei royal court took the initiative to defeat the tribal alliance formed by the Taiwei. The two sides fought a great battle under Yanshan, and finally both sides suffered losses. The tribal alliance has now completely surrendered to the Taiwei. However, the remaining troops of Wangting and Kebieneng were ordered by Ye Hou to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to take advantage of the situation to break through, and the Xianbei tribe in the central region has since become extinct."

"Damn, I know that this little white face is full of bad water." Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then cursed: "Those Xianbei people are useless. They usually sing their teeth and claws, and they met a powerful person who had not even seen him, and were played to death by such a person."

"No matter what, this battle can be said to have calmed the anger of the people in the northern part of our Han family for a hundred years. Not only does the people in Bingzhou support the people, but I am afraid that the people in Youzhou and Jizhou will also have a great increase in their favor for the Taiwei." Yan Rou said in a deep voice: "The lord can send someone to Chang'an to congratulate King Yong at this time."

"Why, what does this matter have to do with us? I want to congratulate him Ye Zhao?" Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense in third brother. Wen Li is talking about congratulating King Yong, not Ye Zhao." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"What's the difference?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

"The difference is very big." Yan Rou smiled and said, "Although this matter was facilitated by the Taiwei, in name, the Taiwei was loyal to King Yong. If we promote it like this, it will also make the Taiwei's reputation rise, but it will also cause a large number of talents to pour into Guanzhong and join King Yong. If there are more people around King Yong, they will naturally seek power, so..."

Zhang Fei's mouth twitched a little, and he understood a little. Although it was beneficial to him, he always felt a little angry in this way. He couldn't stand Ye Zhao's actions. However, Ye Zhao did this matter very pleasantly. As a result, before the news spread all over the world, some people began to think about how to pull Ye Zhao down. Even as an enemy, Zhang Fei suddenly felt a little sad for Ye Zhao.

Liu Bei nodded and was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Fei suddenly stand up and walk out the door.

"Where is Yide?" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.

"As soon as I heard that Ye Zhao was so proud, I felt unhappy. It's okay, brother, you talk to him first, I'll go and have some breathing." Zhang Fei didn't want to make Liu Bei feel uncomfortable, and grinned.

"The third general is really a person with temperament." Yan Rou smiled at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded in a complicated expression when he heard this. What is Zhang Fei's brother who has been in his 20-year-old family? How could he not know?

But sometimes politics is dirty. He has wandered around the world for so many years and has seen too many of them. When he was young, he might be full of righteous indignation. But today, he is over 100 years old and has a strong ability to withstand these things. Even he himself has begun to do these things that made him feel dirty in the past. People... will always become.

"Roar~"

Outside the door, Zhang Fei's vented roar suddenly came. Yan Rou turned her head in confusion, a little confused. Liu Bei calmed down and smiled: "Don't blame Wen Li, you know Yide's temperament, and you can't hide your anger in your heart. Do you think we can follow Ye Zhao and use the same means to deal with Wuhuan?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Yan Rou smiled bitterly and said, "The Taiwei is backed by Yongliang and the four prefectures of Shu, and has a lot of financial support. But now even the food and grass of our own soldiers are supported by the Mi family. How can we cultivate our confidant power among the Wuhuan people?"

Ye Zhao's plan seems not difficult, but in fact it requires the financial and material resources consumed. Without Ye Zhao's usual means of digesting and monetizing cattle, sheep, and horses, even the lord of a state would not be able to support it.

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this, but then he thought of Mi Zhu and looked at Yan Ru and said, "What if he could get the support of the Mi family?"

"Maybe it can be done." Yan Rou thought for a while and said, "But it still needs to be thought about it carefully."
