Chapter 661
Among Yuan Shao's advisers, Liu Bian only admired Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

Although Ju Shou and Tian Feng also have the problem of being upright, it depends on who the master is, and with a magnanimous master, this combination will naturally exert its greatest power.But meeting a master with a small belly like Yuan Shao, this combination is naturally not smooth in every possible way.

Liu Bian can accept Tian Fengju's faults, but Liu Bian cannot accept Feng Ji Guo Tu and Xu You's faults.

Xu You is greedy for money, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others like to fight for power and profit, forming a party for personal gain, leaving aside Xu You's defection to Zhao Kuangyin, Feng Ji, Guo Tu surrendered to him now, it is really troublesome.

Now that Liu Bian's power is thriving and flourishing, all the governors and generals are dedicated to serving the country, and the phenomenon of forming cliques for personal gain has not yet occurred.As for Liu Bian's sons, the eldest son Liu Zhi was only five years old, and the others, such as Liu Yan and Liu Xia, were only three years old. The phenomenon of ministers supporting different princes' parties has not yet occurred.

Feng Ji, if Guo Tu joins, how can he change his nature of profit-seeking and party formation.With their fame and talents, even if Liu Bian didn't put them in important positions in the central government, they would at least be the governor of a state or a county.

If it is abandoned, Liu Bian will definitely gain the reputation of not using those who surrendered. If this is the case, who will be willing to surrender in the future?But if they are reused, they must form cliques in the local area for personal gain and support cliques. Wouldn't the people of a state and county suffer?
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian had to be responsible to the people for every government order.

"Your Majesty is worried about how many people you can't accommodate?" Chen Qingzhi noticed Liu Bian's expression and asked.

"Yeah, Fengji Guotu has a great reputation, and he is the leader in Jizhou, but these people are not the people who are dedicated to the public. They don't use it, and they don't use it!" Liu Bian nodded.

Chen Qingzhi pondered: "The news of their surrender has not yet spread, so it is better to kill them to avoid future troubles!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, although Fengji Guotu and his ilk are not very good, but Xin Ping brothers are not bad, they have a strong influence in Jizhou, if they are all killed, Jizhou will be difficult!"

"That……"

Chen Qingzhi is the leader in military capabilities, but far behind in politics.

"Let's take a look first!" striding into the main hall, there were a group of scribes standing in the hall, a total of ten people, all important officials of Jizhou, headed by Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others.

Seeing Liu Bian coming in, everyone knelt down in fear and said in unison: "The sinners have seen His Majesty!"

Without saying a word, Liu Bian walked up to the first place in the hall and sat down, looked around at the crowd and looked at one of the scribes and said, "Chen Lin, do you remember the Wudang Academy's call for Yuan Xiwen the year before last?"

Chen Lin's face changed drastically, she bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty's holy words, sinners dare not forget a single word!"

"Then the last few sentences are for you Jizhou Wenwu, so you can repeat them!" Liu Bian sneered.

Chen Lin tremblingly said: "If you can turn misfortunes into blessings, send them to the place where you live, and stand together for the honor of the King of Diligence, without the fate of the old king. All the nobles will reward you with the same meaning. It is a sign that the future will surely be punished."

Liu Bian nodded and said: "Thank you for remembering, let's talk about it, is it a sign that you are nostalgic for the poor city, wandering astray, and sitting in ignorance?"

"Criminals deserve death for their crimes, and please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Everyone trembled when they heard this, and quickly kowtowed to apologize.

Discussing Yuan Xiwen came from the time when Liu Bian and Chen Lin of Wudang Academy competed in literary talents.The last few sentences are Liu Bian's warning to the civil and military forces in Jizhou that if they surrender as soon as possible, there will be endless rewards like the Yellow River and Mount Tai.If you hesitate, you will definitely be punished severely!

"Now that you're convicted, what did you do before? From the publication of this essay on Yuan Xi to the destruction of Jizhou, no one among you has the intention of surrendering to me!" Liu Bian said coldly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Guo Tu said hastily.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful. I wanted to surrender to Your Majesty a long time ago, but my family is in Jizhou. How can I surrender? Then Cui Hao is Yuan Shao's confidant. Since the birth of Yuan Xiwen, he has been monitoring us. Even if I want to To contact His Majesty, it is also powerless. Don’t you think so?” Guo Tu raised his head and said to the crowd.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have long wanted to surrender. It is Cui Hao who is watching us. Even if we want to surrender, we are powerless!" Everyone echoed in unison.

Liu Bian's face darkened. He naturally knew that this was Guo Tu's sophistry, but he didn't expect most of them to agree.

But like Chen Lin, the Xin Ping brothers did not follow suit.But what made Liu Bian curious was that Feng Ji didn't agree.

Liu Bian couldn't help looking at Feng Ji, and asked, "Feng Ji, it seems that you are not being watched by Cui Hao?"

Feng Ji cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, loyal ministers do not serve two lords. Although I am not a loyal minister, but the old lord is still alive, how can I be half-hearted? If Your Majesty blames, just deal with the criminals, but I think Your Majesty You won’t accept the surrender of a half-hearted person, will you?”

"Fengji, you..." The crowd headed by Guo Tu looked at Feng Ji and blamed him for a while. It was obvious that they were using Guo Tu as a stepping stone to gain Liu Bian's approval?

"Fengji has such courage?" Liu Bian remained calm, letting the system detect his four-dimensionality and loyalty.

"Fengji, force 43, commander 74, intelligence 95, politics 93! Loyalty level 0!"

Liu Bian was not surprised by 74's commanding ability. After all, Feng Ji also commanded the army for Yuan Shao in history, and his intelligence and politics were also above average, but this level of loyalty made Liu Bian's face darken.

A loyalty of 0 is an enemy. In Liu Bian's identity, ordinary people have at least [-] qualified loyalty to him, and there are still favors, loyalty, and diehard loyalty to him.

"So Fengji is a false surrender, heh, just as I was about to doze off, someone came to give me a pillow!" Liu Bian sneered in his heart, but on the surface he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, of course I won't like a half-hearted person, You will be loyal to Yuan Shao, and if Yuan Shao can surrender after death, I will absolve you of your crimes, and get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" Everyone stood up and thanked Liu Bian.

"Since Fengji is a fraudulent surrender, he will not use simple assassination schemes. Let me let him air for a while, I believe he will not be able to bear it!" Liu Bian made up his mind, and looked at the crowd and said: "My military affairs I'm busy, so I can't accommodate you for the time being, so I will stay in the mansion, and if there is anything, you can send someone to report!"

Everyone was overjoyed. It seemed that they would not be punished and could continue to hold official positions. They quickly said in unison: "No!"

Liu Bian and Chen Qingzhi will leave and continue to deal with military affairs. Yuan Jun surrendered and Youzhou cavalry surrendered, so busy!After returning to the barracks outside the city, Liu Bian began to deal with affairs.

But at this moment in the north of Wuji County, there is a chasing battle taking place!

Xue Rengui's rescue came too late, and Liu Bian was almost in danger.

Xue Rengui chased all the way to the north, and saw more than two hundred cavalry galloping in front of him. Xue Rengui put Fang Tian's painted halberd across his thighs, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and watched Guan Ling shoot away.

"The system has detected that Xue Rengui's sharpshooting attribute is activated. The base force is 102, the white dragon horse is added by one, the sky-shaking bow is added by one, and the arrow is shot at Guan Ling within 108 steps. The force is increased by four. The current force is 99! Guan Ling's current base force is 101, and Rouge Ma plus one, Qinglong Yanyue Dao plus one! The current force is [-]!"

"Be careful, general!" As they were marching, Guan Ling only felt the wind blowing in the back of her head, and all the cavalry exclaimed. Guan Ling quickly looked back and saw an arrow heading towards her eyebrows.

"Hateful!" Guan Ling Qinglong Yanyue knife raised, and slashed at the arrow, with a ding sound, but just brushed the arrow feathers, but the arrow was too fast to defend against.

Slightly swept the arrow feathers, but also changed the trajectory of the arrow, but it went straight down to the chest.

An arrow pierced through the chest, Guan Ling's eyes were full of horror, and she spat out blood: "Ahem, how is it possible?"

With a bang, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife fell powerlessly, and Guan Ling's body also fell off the horse.

Xue Rengui rode up to catch up, behind Wu Yunzhao, Luo Shixin and others also led the cavalry to catch up, and immediately two hundred cavalry were surrounded.

"Huh!" Xue Rengui also heaved a sigh of relief, this time he was negligent, and he must take the thief's head, otherwise Liu Bian would not blame him, and he himself would have a bad conscience.

Fortunately, we caught up!
Xue Rengui rushed into the cavalry with his horse, first cut off Guan Ling's head with a halberd, hung it in front of the horse, and then started killing all the cavalry.

"The system detected that Guan Ling was beheaded by Xue Rengui. Today, Xue Rengui killed Han Meng with an arrow, beheaded Guan Ling, Qin Qiong beheaded Yan Liang, and executed Guan Sheng. There will be a total of four random recruits, and when the next Quyang battle is completely over, the system will provide a list of random recruits!" At the same time, the voice of the system sounded in Liu Bian's mind.

"It's a pity for Guan Ling, but you followed the wrong master, you shouldn't have attacked me!" Liu Bian shook his head and sighed.

Soon after, Xue Rengui, Wu Yunzhao, Luo Shixin and others led their troops back.

"Your Majesty, the last general has cut off the head of the thief general, please review it!" Xue Rengui wrapped Guan Ling's head in a cloak, and opened a corner for Liu Bian to inspect.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Okay, since you killed the general, I forgive you for your innocence!"

When the group returned to the big tent of the military camp, Liu Bian murmured, "This Liu Bei is so courageous. I don't have time to deal with him now. He dared to provoke me. Guan Sheng, Guan Ling and his son are interest. Deal with it and send an envoy to Liu Bei!"

Now is indeed not the best time to attack Liu Bei. To destroy a state needs to have corresponding strength as support.Now Liu Bei occupies Youbeiping, Liaodong, and Liaoxi, and has taken in nearly a million aliens. He has 20 soldiers and horses under his command.

Obviously, with half of Youzhou in Liu Yu's hands, against Liu Bei, Liu Bei's economic strength and military strength can be said to be Liu Bei's strong, but Liu Yu's strong general is Liu Yuqiang.

However, the place Liu Bei occupies has a short battle line, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the role of generals and good generals is not great.This requires the suppression of comprehensive strength.

According to Liu Bian's war budget, half of Jizhou needs to be invested in order to destroy Liu Bei. However, Jizhou is still undecided and needs to recuperate. It will take at least two or three years to give Liu Bian feedback.

Therefore, even if Liu Bei did such a rebellious thing, Liu Bian had no choice but to kill Guan Sheng first, Guan Ling would collect the benefits, and after Jizhou stabilized, he would settle the score with Liu Bei.
