Chapter 130 Candlelight Night Talk in the Secret Room
The experience in the middle of the night made Taishici know Liu Yu again: He intuitively felt that Liu Yu was too good at disguise. On the surface, he looked like a sanctimonous gentleman, but in fact he was a despicable villain who deceived the world. If Taishi Ci hastily revealed to others that Lieutenant Liu Yu has a luxurious and magnificent palace, it is estimated that no one will believe it. The simple image of Liu Yuqin and thrifty has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
After Liu Yu and Tai Shici sat down, the general manager Liu An poured tea and water for them. Liu Yu looked at Tai Shici with a blank face and said with a smile, "Tai Shi, a few days ago, your Jicheng party helped me a lot..."
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Tai Shici's expression immediately changed from confusion to confusion. He looked at Liu Yu in a daze. Liu Yu just smiled and did not explain further. Liu An, who was beside him, brushed his white beard and explained to Taishi Ci, "Ha ha, General Taishi didn't know anything. Your performance at the banquet of Gongsun Zan's mansion that day finally led to the anger of Tian Kai, a fierce general under Gongsun Zan's command. In anger, he led 6,000 troops to leave the defense area and went to Juyongguan... Gongsun Zan's general was not at peace with each other. It is not good for Youzhou, but it is extremely beneficial to us! ..."
In the listening of Tai Shici, Liu An was excited and told the kindness and hatred between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan one by one: From the time when Liu Yu led 8,000 imperial troops to Youzhou, at the beginning, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan cooperated happily in all aspects of government affairs and military affairs. However, in the face of the thorny issue of the invasion of Rongdi in the north and the rebellion of local forces, the two began to have serious differences: Liu Yu advocated the Huairou strategy of treating both the symptoms and the root causes; while Gongsun Zan advocated the iron-blooded ruthless eradication policy. Later, Liu Yu suppressed Gongsun Zan with the rank of lieutenant. In the later actual operation, Liu Yu's Huairou policy was also quite effective. Without a single soldier, he disintegrated the rebellion of local forces. Only in the form of a message, he attracted the Rongdi tribe in the north and made it an ally of Liu Yu.
In the face of the fact that Liu Yu's strategy was successful, Gongsun Zan was deeply disapproving: they thought that although Liu Yu had won without bloodshed, he consumed a large amount of financial, material and resources for no reason, and at the same time let the soldiers lose the opportunity to make contributions.
Liu Yu never thought that Gongsun Zan was so unruly and deeply resistant to himself. Liu Yu became more and more estranged and indifferent to Gongsun Zan. And Gongsun Zan didn't care about Liu Yu's attitude towards him. He began to be proud of himself and self-respecting, and became more and more disobedient to Liu Yu's command. After many confrontations openly and secretly, the relationship between the two became worse and worse. Gongsun Zan excused not to attend the various meetings presided over by Liu Yu, so that the relationship between the two became unmanageable...
When Tai Shici heard this, he instantly caught the loss flashing in Liu An's eyes. This shows that the resourceful Liu An also regrets the confrontation between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, which also shows that Gongsun Zan dares to openly confront Lieutenant Liu Yu, which is beyond their previous expectations.
In fact, Liu An saw the reason for all this clearly as a bystander: the stability of Youzhou and the scene of peace and prosperity is the result of the civil war. In the final analysis, without Gongsun Zan's heroic martial arts and his high-spirited and disciplined army, the boundary of Youzhou would not have been so stable; and without Liu Yu's ambition With the soft national policy and the love policy of people and light immunity, Youzhou will not be so prosperous and prosperous society.
Just in the face of such achievements, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan inflated themselves and admitted that they had made great contributions, which was the superficial reason for the beginning of discord between the two. The deep-seated reason for the decision that the two separated was their character and cultivation, as well as the people's attitude towards them: perpetual The fight made the tenacious and brave Gongsun Zan later become cruel and must be rewarded. He did not have noble political beliefs, so that he became more and more greedy in the war looting and killed the people. Liu Yu himself believed in the benevolence of Confucianism, advocated the rule of culture, and believed in perspering people with virtue. As the situation in Youzhou becomes more and more stable, the people need a benevolent and righteous leader like Liu Yu, and they don't need Gongsun Zan to be a fierce general who forgets good and will be rewarded.
In this way, in the face of the people's heartfelt support, Liu Yu became more and more comfortable. Liu Yu, who is supported by all walks of life, increasingly feels that Gongsun Zan is a stumbling block to implement Xingzhou's big plan and realize political ideas. Gongsun Zan, who has lost his power, thinks that the people are ungrateful and that Liu Yu is crossing the river to dismantle the bridge. In this way, the relationship between the two has developed into a situation where you and I are incompatible.
Three feet of freezing is not a day's cold. Liu An, who knows all kinds of direct or indirect reasons, can't tell Liu Yu clearly about these truths. He is afraid that the advice will be unpleasant to the ears, and he will provoke the master's displeasure for no reason, and even his dissatisfaction with himself, so that it will affect his practical interests. What if Liu Yu is angry and poisons him and has dozens of concubines? ......
Considering his family and life, Liu An did not dare to say his true feelings to Liu Yu. Usually, he only cares about flattering Liu Yu and picks Liu Yu's favorite words... The resourceful Liu An knows the truth of "accompanying a king like a tiger". Of course, Liu An's character is debatable, but it is not ruled out that he has a real insight: he knows that the stable and prosperous Youzhou needs a person who can have Liu Yu's benevolence and the bravery of Gongsun Zan. Such a person is urgently needed in the world today... A region or even a country, if you want to have dignity and prosperity, it needs to be represented. Wenzhi's carrots should also have a big stick representing Wuzhi. The two are indispensable. Without civil rule, they will fall into the swamp of poor soldiers and martial arts. Without martial arts, a living structure will be formed. Everyone lives in a comparable environment and falls into endless civil strife... In short, a chariot without a hub can't run, and an eagle without a wing can't fly, no matter how ambitious it is. No matter how good the environment is!
This is the reason why Liu An's eyes flashed. This loss comes from his cherishing of a stable and rich life. Of course, Liu An still has doubts and worries in his heart, but such doubts and worries are not revealed. This doubt and worry came from his understanding of Liu Yu: since he followed Liu Yu into Youzhou, Liu Yu's benevolent heart began to change. Liu An knows that Liu Yu's change of mind is affected by troubled times... If Liu Yu's mind cannot be realized, what awaits them will be an irreparable situation!
After listening to Liu An's remarks, Tai Shi Ci said angrily, "This Gongsun Zan takes himself too seriously. Could it be that he is so ambitious that he dares to openly fight against the lieutenant? For this kind of person, the lieutenant should be punished by military law, so as not to raise tigers..."
Tai Shici knew that at this time, when he heard the secret of Liu Yu's side, and if he didn't say anything, he would really become blind.
"Ha ha, General Taishi's eyes are really like a torch!" Liu An drank a sip of tea, put down the gap and praised Tai Shi Cada and said, "So, later, the lieutenant summoned the princes of the world in the name of Gongsun Zan to form a rebel alliance army, and took the opportunity to fight against the rebel Xiliang Legion to transfer Gongsun Zan's army out of Youzhou. World...Unfortunately, at the critical moment, the infighting of the Yuan brothers led to Gongsun Zan to escape from the siege! Hey, in the battle of Chang'an, we were also plotted by Gongsun Zan to lose a super fierce general and more than 20,000 Allied Rongdi soldiers..."
According to Liu An's tone, Tai Shi Ci judged that even if there was an unspeakable secret between the lieutenant Liu Yu and the Yuan brothers, Yuan Shao, the pastor of Yizhou, did not inform Liu Yu the truth of the battle of Chang'an, such as the new weapon continuous stone throwing machine owned by Cao Cao, for example, Cao Cao's contribution to break through the city of Chang'an. For example, Tai Shici "killed" Yan Liang, a fierce general under Yuan Shao's command, and helped Gongsun Zan pass the Luohe Stone Bridge smoothly...
Yuan Shao deliberately concealed these truths for some purpose. In the secret room, he sat face to face with Liu Yu and listened to Liu An's words. Taishi Ci experienced the words of Liu Yu's side and Gongsun Zan's side. He analyzed and summarized the difference between the two: First, Gongsun Zan's thinking focuses are concentrated in the Youzhou boundary, and Liu Yu's thoughts and vision are not limited to the Youzhou boundary; the other is that even if the two sides are contradictory. The resentment is very deep, but Gongsun Zan's side did not intend to destroy Liu Yu, or at the beginning; as an outsider, Liu Yu's side wanted to put Gongsun Zan to death and then quickly, so Liu Yu's side used a plan to kill people with a knife...
Liu An mentioned the damaged military strength in Chang'an City, and Liu Yu's face suddenly became sad. Tai Shici scolded angrily, "This Gongsun old dog is really abominable. Such a ferocious role is unbearable... Captain, you have to think about the people of Youzhou and eradicate such a vicious person early!"
Tai Shici pretended to abuse Gongsun Zan in his mouth, and kept apologizing to Gongsun Zan in his heart: I'm sorry, Jihou, if I didn't abuse you at this time, I couldn't gain Liu Yu's trust...
