Chapter 248 The local snake suppresses the strong dragon
Liu Biao let go of You Heng so much, which puzzled his confidants: What's the use of such a person staying in the world? Liu Biao said frankly to the crowd, "You Heng humiliated Cao Cao. If you don't kill him, you will be disappointed. Therefore, he ordered me to kill him with my hand, so that I will be the name of the sage. I'm sending it to see Huang Zu now to let Cao Cao know that I have knowledge.
After placing Youheng, in order to level a bowl of water among the two heroes in the world, Liu Biao sent two cronies to Yizhou and Lindu Xuchang respectively to visit Yuan Shao and Cao Cao on his behalf.
Born in the royal family, today's emperor's uncle, the authentic Han clan, Liu Biao came from a noble background. At the same time, he is well-read and intelligent, so the height and position of his view of the problem are different from that of most people: first of all, he also believes that the Han Dynasty is exhausted, and Huaxia mountains and rivers are waiting for the emergence of a new master; its Second, across the thick fog of history and reality, not looking at the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but only looking at the history of the Han Dynasty. He knew that the later emperors of the Han Dynasty had no power at all, and the power was divided by the eunuchs or relatives around the emperor and the local doorfa clans, especially the local door valves and clans, that is, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to give up three points.
This is the profound reason why Liu Biao left the bustling Kyoto: he wants to be a local door valve with real power. Now, as long as he owns Jingzhou, he can do it. If a new dynasty is born, he will take the initiative to surrender and shrink his power to Xiangyang City, and then just send gifts to it during the Spring Festival. In this way, even if the country changes people, he can live a peaceful life...
So according to Liu Biao's mind, he didn't want to talk to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at all, because he knew that the two had no chance to establish a new dynasty at all. The two of them spent their lives were just making "married clothes" for others. However, due to the form, he wanted to comfort the fear of the officials and generals, so he had to send messengers back to visit Yizhou and Gongzhou to make a full scene to deal with Yuan and Cao.
A few days ago, his third son Liu Pan successfully entered the innate realm and became a super general. Today, there are also three super generals under Liu Biao's command, Huang Zhong, Huang Zu and Liu Pan. This kind of strength, looking at the world, is only Yizhou Yuan Shao and Gonzhou Cao Cao compared with it... (At this time, the overlords of other places do not know that Jiangdong Sun Group also has five super fierce generals: Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu, Gao Shun and Surman. Besides).
With such shocking strength, Liu Biao sometimes has the idea of competing for hegemony in his heart. But for the sake of his ultimate dream, he tried his best to strangle this idea in the cradle.
It is the core of Liu Biao's current strategy to deal with Yuan Cao with literature, fight against the Sun family in Jiangdong with martial arts, deter Shouchun Yuan Shu with soldiers, and maintain the stability and prosperity of the Jingzhou boundary. Such a conservative strategy that he recently heard that there is another super general (Gan Ning) who is good at archery in Jiangxia City, and he is not interested. Such a general, in his opinion, can be done with fame and beauty.
Liu Biao doesn't know that Gan Ning once refused Huang Zu's recruitment as his son-in-law. Can Huang Zu spread such an ugly thing? If Liu Biao knew about this, he would definitely pay attention to Gan Ning.
Liu Biao did not pay attention to Gan Ning, but Huang Zu put Gan Ning under house arrest. At least it's under house arrest in disguise.
Gan Ning is very free in Jiangxia City, but once he wants to leave Jiangxia City, he will personally ask Huang Zu for instructions.
Although Gan Ning is just a Sima, even if General Sanpin sees him in public, he will take the initiative to greet him. As a result, Gan Ning did not dare to appear in public at all.
Later, Huang Zu held the principle of "people make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things", and arranged Gan Ning to serve as a training partner for the generals under his command, using Gan Ning to cultivate the combat effectiveness of his generals, and secretly learning Gan Ning's martial arts skills.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Although Gan Ning was unwilling, he could not refuse Huang Zu's order. Because of Gan Ning's deliberate concealment, the Jingzhou general who had a move with Gan Ning was finally tired like a dog, sweating profusely, and did not touch the doorway of Gan Ning's martial arts. They didn't know that Gan Ning had a move with them, so he held them and made their arms sore. At the same time, the martial arts hodgepodge they knew made them like a fog, and they could not see Gan Ning's martial arts moves clearly.
It is not without benefits for Gan Ning to contribute so much. At least he has exchanged a rich diet for his subordinates. The soldiers under Gan Ning's command watched his beloved commander training with others. They were all indignant at such a cheap job. Gan Ning naturally knew their emotions. He joked and said to his loyal subordinates: Gentlemen, don't be angry! Xingba is now a usurer. In time, Xingba will let Huang Zu pay back with profits... Huang Zu doesn't treat Xingba like this, and Xingba can't bear to come to his mother in the future, haha! ...Damn it, he won't call Xingba a father...haha.
Gan Ning's explanation made his subordinates feel psychologically balanced. In order to successfully collect the principal and interest from Huang Zu in the future, under the supervision of Gan Ning, they devoted themselves to more hard training. The death of their companions also made the surviving Miaozhai soldiers realize the lethality of superb archery. In order to improve their combat effectiveness in actual combat, they consciously practiced archery. With the guidance of Gan Ning, a famous teacher, and a sufficient supply of arrows, their archery skills are thousands of miles a day.
In order to try his subordinates' interest in practicing archery, Gan Ning promised that whoever wants to take the lead in reaching the realm of "shadowless arrows", the "conjoined shadowless bow" captured from the enemy generals will be owned.
Reaching the realm of "Shadowless Arrow", even if it is not the cultivation of the innate realm, which makes all Miaozhai soldiers see hope.
Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Gan Ning hasn't seen You Heng himself in Jiangxia City, and he also learned from other people's mouths that you Heng beat the drum and scolded Cao naked in Xuchang, which is in front of today's son... It's really unprecedented...
Gan Ning admires You Heng very much in his heart. This You Heng is really a talent! It's really unattractable that a weak scribe can do such an earth-shaking thing! Of course, Gan Ning wondered like others: How could Cao Cao easily forgive the offender? It is said that Emperor Xian was also present at that time. As long as there was a crime of "great disrespect", it was enough to make your head fall to the ground...
You Hengguang can win the favor of Cao Cao with his superb drum skills, so those who have a skill will definitely be recognized by Cao Cao, so as to be promoted and make a fortune... Therefore, some depressed officials in the remote Jiangxia City began to yearn for the capital Xuchang. Some bold and courageous officials have moved to Xuchang!
This is the immediate effect of events. Cao Cao let go of You Heng alone, so as to get more talents!
Gan Ning, who has read a lot of books, finally judged Liu Biao's core policy by living in Jingzhou for several months, combining theory with practice: Liu Biao's behavior, all efforts are just trying to be a stable local door valve. Especially after Liu Biao's third son, Liu Pan, entered the innate realm, Liu Biao still behaved as steadily as before, and dealt with his son's success and proud performance in a low-key way.
If he had been an ordinary local warlord with four super generals under his command, he would have waved his troops directly to Yuan Shu in Huainan. Then, he competed with the princes of the four directions to dominate the world. Just like the Sun family in Jiangdong, they have been fighting hundreds of battles in the south: on the one hand, they fought against Yuan Shu in Huainan, and at the same time, they also took time to attack Jiangxia County, Jingzhou. As a result, they achieved an impressive record...
Through the information and intelligence he has, Gan Ning also knows that the current situation in the world is in the stage of integration. At this stage, as long as he can turn to a wise master, then his future is also unlimited!
Although he was not appreciated and reused by Huang Zu, and was also worn by Huang Zu, Gan Ning's life was very colorful and delicious: in his spare time, Su Fei chatted in the military camp... Tonight is another full moon night. At this time of the month, Su Fei came to visit Gan Ning.
In a quiet valley, Gan Ning and Su Fei, who are sitting opposite each other, raise their heads and look up at the bright moon. As long as they have one side of their face, they can see the silver waterfall in the distance. In such a beautiful environment, drinking wine and talking about happy topics, Gan Ning and Su Fei felt relaxed and happy, and their body and mind were as clear as the moonlight.
