Chapter 104 The Talking Uncle and Nephew
"Taozhou Mu worked hard to manage Xuzhou for several years in accordance with the order of the imperial court. Although the time was short, he won the hearts of the people and was widely loved by the people. It's just a pity that Tao Shijun fell ill when he was punishing Dong Zhuo's rebels and did not survive. He died a few years later.

Before his death, due to the chaos in the imperial court at that time, but a state could not live without a state shepherd, Tao Shijun saw that Bei had some talent, so he entrusted him with the position of Xuzhou state shepherd, and entrusted him to be worthy of the big man and the common people.

So Bei managed Xuzhou according to Tao Shijun's method. Although he didn't achieve much results, he did a good job, and the people also transferred their love for Tao Shijun to Bei.

It's just a pity that there were too many traitors, and Lu Bu took advantage of Bei's carelessness to raid Xuzhou, and Bei had to travel around. It just hurt the people of Xuzhou, and I was sorry for Tao Shijun's spirit in heaven. "

Liu Bei sighed, pretending to be melancholy.

Liu Xie also sighed, he knew the character Tao Qian, and he was quite capable. When Tao Qian was not qualified to be the governor of the state, his father and emperor also praised Tao Qian a lot, but it was okay, God is jealous of talents. .

But he soon thought, according to what Liu Bei said, wouldn't Liu Bei have great potential, but he just didn't have the opportunity to display it?

If I give him a chance, can he bring benefits to me?

Liu Xie thought repeatedly in his heart, not only wanted Liu Bei to help him, but also feared that Liu Bei would not be controlled by him and become the second Cao Cao.

But he made his decision quickly.

Support Liu Bei!

Not to mention whether Liu Bei would betray him, so what if he betrayed him?The current situation is already the worst, how much worse can it get?

Moreover, Liu Bei also has the identity of a Han family clan. Even if you don't believe in Liu Bei, you must believe in your ancestors.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie made up his mind and said:
"Then if I give General Liu some opportunities, how far can General Liu develop? How much time will it take?"

"That depends on what kind of opportunity His Majesty gives you." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

He knew in his heart that so much laying the groundwork was because Liu Xie wanted to see his value and whether he was worth investing in, but now, it was the strength of Liu Xie's investment in him that decided.

In order to strengthen one's own strength, one has to ignore humility. Now, getting more investment will have a great influence on the future.

This world, after all, still belongs to the big man, and as long as it belongs to the big man, then Liu Xie will be the emperor every day!

An emperor's investment, even if it is a puppet emperor, is a timely gift to Liu Bei now, and should not be missed.

"I want to designate General Liu as General Zuo, Tinghou of Yicheng, and give him the title of Uncle Liu, how about that?" Liu Xie said softly.

Liu Bei's pupils shrank, and Liu Xie gave more help than he imagined.

He thought it would be nice to be named a general, but he didn't expect to be named General Zuo directly, let alone the title of Marquis of Chengting behind.

But the most important thing is the title of "Uncle Liu Huang" mentioned by Liu Xie. Even if this title is impossible to be released, let alone officially rewarded, its role is far better than the previous two.

This means that Liu Bei can call himself the emperor's uncle outside, and can act under the banner of the emperor's uncle.

Liu Bei already had a rough idea of ​​how much convenience this would bring him.

The emperor's uncle is a relative of the emperor, and that is prestige!

Maybe Cao Cao doesn't care about this, his family has a great career; Yuan Shao doesn't care about this either, he has a lot of troops.

But this is still useful for general generals!They consider themselves the generals of the Han Dynasty, so they will have more or less respect for the Han royal family.

Especially for civil servants, the uncle of the emperor is much better than any eunuch, and even compared with the four generations and three princes, he is not too shy.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was a little excited, but his eyes were clear, his face was heavy, and he said calmly:

"You can have tens of thousands of troops in three years, own territory in five years, and compete with Cao Cao in ten years."

Liu Xie gasped, Liu Bei was more confident than he imagined.

Liu Xie was not too surprised that he could have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in three years. After all, he had given him so many names. If he couldn't even recruit some soldiers and horses, his ability was limited.

Liu Xie was a little surprised to have his own territory in five years. Liu Bei said that his own place would definitely not be a small place like a county and a county, at least it would be a state.

The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty are all owned by their masters. These prefectures build walls on their own land to accumulate food and recruit private soldiers. They hardly pay attention to the imperial court. They have become a powerful force, and none of them are easy to provoke .

If the second promise has surprised Liu Xie, then the third condition is to surprise Liu Xie.

What is Cao Cao's current strength?Although there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around Xudu, they are all elite soldiers!
Cao Cao holds several states and counties in his hands, and the number of troops stationed in various places alone is not a small number. Adding up, Cao Cao's troops may number hundreds of thousands.

Not to mention that his subordinates are so fierce that there are too many counselors to use, and the emperor is by his side, controlling most of the court.

What kind of strength would it have to compete with Cao Cao?

Liu Xie couldn't imagine it.

"Is this true?"

"There is absolutely no lie in what Bei said!" Liu Bei issued a military order.

"Okay, then I will trust the general." Liu Xie made a final decision: "Besides, I have not provided the general with some treasures to recruit talents.

I'm just waiting, the general will clean up the traitors for me! "

"I will live up to your majesty's painstaking efforts." Liu Bei directly knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude, Liu Xie felt a little confident. Regardless of whether Liu Bei was lying or he was really sure, at least he dared to issue a military order in front of us and make a promise to himself.

It was also the first move I made in order to break free from Cao Cao's mercy.

But whether this move can play its due role depends on the efforts of the chess pieces themselves.

Uncles and nephews...or maybe the monarch and his ministers had their own thoughts, so they didn't continue talking. After chatting casually, Liu Xie ordered Liu Bei to be sent out of the palace.

Liu Bei's goal had been achieved, and even far exceeded his expectations. Naturally, he was not dissatisfied and left after saluting.

After leaving the palace, Liu Bei kept walking and immediately returned to the mansion.

He has no soldiers and horses under his command, so naturally he doesn't have a barracks, and he stays in the mansion when he has nothing to do.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei pacing back and forth.

Seeing Liu Bei's delay in returning, Guan and Zhang thought it was because the court meeting had not yet ended, but the servant came to report that the other generals had returned, and only Liu Bei had not returned, so the two became anxious.

Fearing that something might happen to Liu Bei, everyone was very anxious, but they didn't know where to start.

Now that Liu Bei is back, I feel relieved.
