A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 395: Dressed in Tsing Yi, I come here for you, my heart is in the world, please accept your appointment
The leading carriage stopped in front of everyone. Knowing that Allah was inside, Liu Bei hurriedly took a few steps forward and made a greeting gesture.

I saw a man in green clothes, with a white jade hairpin in his bun. He had a handsome face, bright sword eyebrows, and divine marks between his eyebrows. He just came out of the carriage, and he felt like a spring breeze in the cold wind of the first month.

Bai Lu stood on the carriage and saluted everyone under the carriage. Liu Bei and others quickly returned the salute, and then Bai Lu got off the carriage with Xu Xu, his entourage.

"Xuzhou Mu, General Zhendong, Liu Bei, Tinghou of Yicheng, have met Mr. Bai!"

Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said: "Mr. Xuande, please don't be too polite. I am from the Bai country and I have no official status. Mr. Xuande is a shepherd guard of a state. How can I be like this? Isn't it a disgrace to me?" "

"Young Master is the son of the Bai family. The world is so lucky to have the Bai family. No matter how much courtesy you have, it cannot show your respect for the Bai family."

"Mr. Xuande is so complimentary!"

Then Bai Lu looked at Lu Bu who was standing aside, first patted Liu Bei's forearm, and then saluted him and said: "The general has majestic weapons, a dragon walking like a tiger, and a murderous look. He must be General Fenwei, Marquis Lu Wen. "

Seeing that Bai Lu recognized him, Lu Bu felt extremely satisfied. He quickly stepped forward and gave a not-so-standard salute:

"It's because of me that the young master can recognize me. It's really touching me."

Bai Lu smiled and helped him up and said: "Marquis Wen doesn't have to be like this. You killed Dong Zhuo with your own hands and saved the generals of the Han Dynasty. You are actually the pillar of the Han Dynasty. Although you were defeated later and came to Guandong."

However, what the general did did saved countless people and restored the great reputation of the Han Dynasty.

Later, Cao Cao went against the grain and slaughtered the people. The general was not afraid of the small number of soldiers and resolutely followed Chen Gong anyway, letting everyone in the world see the price of ignoring people's lives.

All these are the actions of a great hero and a great hero. These actions of the general will definitely shine through the annals of history and be admired by future generations.

It’s just that I know that the general is good at military strategy, but has no use in civil affairs and strategy. This is a regret for the general. Otherwise, he would be like Jiang Taigong, Sun Wu, and Wei Qing. It is really a pity. "

Lu Bu had long felt unbalanced that he had been deceived in his strategy and understanding of people, yet he was invincible and invincible on the battlefield. Now Bai Lu said this, as if he had made his point clear, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull Bai Lu away. Lu's forearm, pleading:
"This is also what I am concerned about. However, I am a little short of wisdom and I really don't know what to do. Please teach me, Master!"

"Lord!" Chen Gong quickly stepped forward and whispered to Lu Bu, asking him not to lose his etiquette.

Lu Bu then relaxed and let go.

Bai Lu didn't care at all. Instead, he held Lu Bu's rough hand and said sincerely: "If a general wants to seize the wealth he has now, he only needs to swear to the people of the world, voluntarily withdraw from the dispute, disperse his soldiers, and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In the wild house.

However, I see that the general is not someone who is willing to give up easily. If you believe me, please find a wise master, a lord who is willing to protect you, believe in you, and win the hearts of the people.

With all due respect, the general is not a person who can support one party. Although he can occupy one party for a while, he will still be harmed by other forces over time. The Yanzhou incident is proof.

Han Xin in ancient times, why did he switch to Gaozu from Xiang Yu's command? According to his ability, it would not be a bad idea to become a prince.

However, he was very aware of his shortcomings in governance and understanding of people, and he was unwilling to serve the cruel Xiang Yu, so he chose to seek refuge with Gaozu and won a place in the history books.

The general is extremely brave and has profound military strategy. He is a perfect military general. However, as a monarch, this is not the most important thing.

Because the monarch needs to know how to balance the forces of all parties in his own power, and have the ability to make the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment.

In addition, the monarch must have the world and the people at heart. You also need to know how to make choices and not be obsessed with the small profits in front of you. Is it possible for the general to do all this? "

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a long time, while Liu Bei on the side heard Bai Lu's words and fell into thinking. This was not only useful for Lu Bu, but also for his own future behavior.

Chen Gong behind Lu Bu also saw Bai Lu's intentions. He also knew that Lu Bu was not a wise master, but fortunately he listened to himself and would not do anything that would harm the people, so he followed him wholeheartedly.

If Lu Bu really agrees with Bai Lu's opinion and positions himself as a minister and military commander, then what should he do? He has betrayed Cao Cao. Which prince dares to take him in? Maybe he should retreat to the mountains and forests and let go of some things. Come on.

While Chen Gong was still entangled, Lu Bu also thought about it. His eyes flashed with a brilliance that had never been seen before, and he said to Bai Lu:
"The young master's words are like pearls in the dark night and stars on the grassland. They wake me up. I think that in the days since I came out of Zhenbei Mansion, I have been changing my lord. I always think that it is because I am suitable to be the lord, so I am not satisfied with having someone on my head.

Only now do I know that it was because they were not wise masters, Ding Yuan was stingy and even unwilling to give up his official position, and Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, that was why they suffered subsequent failures.

When Cao Cao slaughtered the people, I thought I could become a giant, but instead I asked him to regain his power and lost Yanzhou.

But now in the world, there are only a few people who can be effective. You know that Bu is not discerning enough to find out who the master is. I know that you have said so much to Bu. There must be someone selected. Please take care of Bu. Sincerely, I can tell you. "

Bai Lu didn't say much about who it was, but said mysteriously: "This person is far away in the horizon, but right in front of you."

Seeing that Lu Bu was lost in thought again, Bai Lu said to Chen Gong: "Mr. Chen rose up against Cao Cao because of his righteousness. This requires great courage. Now he is living under the command of Duke Xuande with Marquis Wen.

Don’t you know that it is the best choice God has made for you? "Chen Gong is a smart man. He doesn't need to be like Lu Bu, who speaks so straightforwardly and stops at the point.

"Thank you for the tip, sir."

After settling Lu Bu's matter, Bai Lu turned to look at Liu Bei and said apologetically: "I was so gentle with Marquis Wen, but I left Duke Xuande in the cold. Please forgive me."

Liu Bei watched for so long and saw Bai Lu's intention. He wanted to help him regain Lu Bu.

What kind of person is Lu Bu? He is no less powerful than his second and third brothers. Moreover, he only needs to be paired with a wise person to be able to directly take charge of his role. If he can be under his command, his great cause will go faster.

As for whether you dare to accept this repeated person, and you have the endorsement of Bai Shi, there is no reason why you dare not. So he said gratefully to Bai Lu:
"Young Master has put so much effort into Bei, how could Bei have so many intentions?"

Then Liu Bei introduced the civil and military officials behind him to Bai Lu: "This is my second brother Guan Yu, who is also the governor of Donghai. This is my third brother Zhang Fei, who is the captain of Xiapi Kingdom.

This is my Xuzhou Biejia Mi Zhu, who is engaged in Chen Qun and Bai Jin, and is the chief bookkeeper of Jian Yong and Sun Qian..."

Bai Lu met everyone in Xuzhou in turn, and then introduced the group of people who followed him to Liu Bei and others.

In turn, there are Bai Dian, the governor of Donglai, Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, Lu Cheng, the prime minister of Le'an, Wang Feng, the prime minister of Jinan, and others. They are all the principals of various counties in Qingzhou.

It was also to check whether Liu Bei was suitable for staying in Qingzhou.

Except for Kong Rong and Liu Bei, everyone here was meeting for the first time. In fact, the moment Kong Rong got off the bus, Liu Bei had already made a guess in his mind. Now that he heard Bai Lu's introduction, his heart beat faster, like a big piece of cake. Bread fell from the sky.

But although he was happy, he still couldn't lose his etiquette. After meeting everyone one by one, Liu Bei ushered everyone into the banquet hall.

Liu Bei did not take the main seat as before, but sat opposite Bai Lu, and the others sat with him.

"Does Mr. Xuande know why I came here this time?"

Liu Bei held his breath and concentrated, knowing that the test was coming, so he pretended not to know: "I heard that the young master is traveling in Yanzhou, but Cao Cao has invited him many times, but he has not been invited. There is no trace of the young master. I really can't guess."

"Before coming to Xuzhou, I first went to Gaotang County, where Xuande Gong was previously in charge. When the people in Gaotang County heard the name of Xuande Gong, they all smiled and praised him. Most of their words missed Xuande. The days of princess rule.”

When Liu Bei heard this, he also sighed: "Now I am no longer the magistrate of Gaotang County, nor the Prime Minister of Pingyuan. It is really an honor for me that the elders of Gaotang can remember me, Liu Xuande."

"This also shows that Mr. Xuande behaves according to the law, is generous, and is devoted to the people. Otherwise, how would he be praised by the people?"

"Young master, you are ridiculous. Serving the government and serving democracy are the duties of a local official. I act in accordance with my duties. There is nothing to praise."

"What Xuande Gong said is exactly what the county magistrate is supposed to do to serve the people. But today, how many county magistrates, prefects, and even state shepherds can do this?
I came from Qingzhou, and along the way I saw that the Yellow Turban bandits were raging in Qingzhou. The people had no fixed homes and were often invaded by bandits. The people were in dire straits.

However, there is no strong person in Qingzhou who cannot unite the troops of the state to destroy the Yellow Turbans. The current governor of Qingzhou, Tian Kai, is only focused on guarding Yuan Shao in Pingyuan Kingdom and has no intention of suppressing the bandits.

Therefore, when the princes of Qingzhou heard that I was coming, they asked someone to find me, hoping to hire a wise ruler with both political integrity and talent for Qingzhou, who could not only appease the people of Qingzhou, but also resist the invasion from other states.

After passing Gaotang and his party, I also heard that Tao Shijun gave Xuzhou to Xuzhou because of Xuande Gong's virtue. I know that Tao Shijun has always been a kind and kind gentleman and will never pass Xuzhou to someone without virtue or talent.

Therefore, I thought of you, Mr. Xuande, so I discussed with them to come and see if Mr. Xuande was the Ming Lord of Qingzhou. "

"This..." Although Liu Bei was prepared, he was still stunned by Bai Lu's gift.

Bai Lu smiled slightly and continued: "I think Mr. Xuande must have heard about it, and I am ready to support Cao Cao before the time comes. However, Cao Cao's behavior in Xuzhou is really outrageous, and he cannot be regarded as a benevolent king.

I had no choice but to abandon him for doing such an act that lost the support of the people, but the world needs a wise leader, a wise leader who can end the troubled times as soon as possible.

Xuande Gong was born in the north. He should know that the Hu people in the north are already eager to try. If the big man shows a trace of fatigue.

Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Qiang people, and even the Huns who have already joined in, will come forward to get a share of the pie. This is what the people of Xia don't want to see, and what the Bai family doesn't want to see.

Originally we hoped that although the world was in chaos, it must be openly unified under the Han Dynasty, but now the court really cannot afford to support it, and Yuan Shao has repeatedly tried to establish a separate court, and Yuan Shu is also eager to try.

If there is no bright master, a bright master who takes the people of the world as his own responsibility, Zhuxia will be in danger. But you all also know that in this world where all the dragons are fighting for hegemony, who will be chosen? He may be powerful, but he may be cruel.

It would be fine if it was Emperor Gaozu, but if a Qin Shihuang were chosen, where would the already exhausted world go from here? "
