Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155 Convince People With Virtue
It was already June when Liu He and Guan Zhang arrived in Fanyang on Qingqi Jianlai.

The territory of Fanyang is vast, with the majestic Taihang Mountains in the west and large reed marshes in the east, which is the later Baiyangdian Lake.

In the scorching sun, Liu He walked along the wide official road. Seeing the neat fields and abundant crops, he felt at ease. However, this year, there have been several natural disasters in the Central Plains. Fortunately, everything in Hebei is as usual.

With the capture of thieves in the past few months and the supply from Jizhou, the army has sufficient money and food this year. With a bumper harvest at the end of the year, Youzhou will be able to survive the crisis. After this period of development, it will be stable for two years. the big rear.

When they came to the city, the county magistrate Wei You, Tian Feng and others came to welcome them. For the past few months, Tian Feng and Cheng Pu were in charge of farming. After the planning and deployment were completed, they would be handed over to Guoyuan for management.

After arriving at the government office and sitting down, Tian Feng asked: "Xu You passed by Fan Yang earlier and heard that he was asking for help from the prince. The governor Wang had promised to provide money and food. Why did the prince arrive so late and only brought dozens of servants with him?" ?”

Liu He drank his tea, looked at his confidantes on both sides, and said with a smile, "Zhang Niujiao left Heishan to go to Changshan, where bandits join forces. Although they are powerful, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I predict that Zhang Niujiao will perish. In fact, there is no need to send troops. "

When Tian Feng saw Liu He's movement just now, he already guessed that he didn't really want to help, so he asked this question, and as expected, he immediately said: "This subordinate thinks that the king's move is inappropriate."

"Oh?" Liu He raised his eyebrows, "Sir, please tell me."

Tian Feng said: "Nowadays there are bandits and bandits everywhere, and the world is in chaos. Since the prince has the heart to help the Han Dynasty, he should win people with faith, repay people with virtue, and convince people with reason. Such hypocrisy and arrogance may cause people to lose their trust. It is not advisable to benefit at the expense of righteousness."

Guan Yu snorted coldly when he heard the words, stroked his beard and said, "Do you imply that the gentleman is that repeated villain?"

Tian Feng remained motionless, nodded and said: "The sages have said that in ancient times, those who wanted to show their virtue to the world should first rectify their minds and cultivate their bodies. The kings and princes begged for yellow scarves and conquered Xianbei, and their fame grew day by day, attracting the attention of the world. If you have selfishness at this time, you will be laughed at by others, so think twice."

"Mr. Tian, ​​what you said seems to be a little too much?" Zhang Fei was also a little dissatisfied, and said with a stare: "Captain Xu and the others have already led the troops to set off, and we are not breaking our promise."

Tian Feng described Liu He as a duplicitous villain in a few words. Everyone's faces were ugly. Wei You on the side was even a little worried. He looked at Liu He closely, thinking about how to persuade him if he got angry.

Unexpectedly, Liu He got up suddenly, saluted Tian Feng deeply, and said seriously: "Mr.

"Your Majesty?" Guan and Zhang were taken aback, they didn't expect Liu He to admit his mistake.

Tian Feng hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said: "The way of kingship is difficult but the secret lies in convincing people with virtue. I hope you will remember it."

Liu He nodded seriously, pulled Tian Feng to sit down, and said to Guan Zhang: "I did play a little clever thing about sending troops, and just wanted to let the thieves fight against each other, but this is just a guess, but it puts the people of Jizhou in danger. It really shouldn't be like this."

Wei You was startled when he saw it, and sighed: "If you have such a broad mind, why worry about the big things not being done?"

Liu He sighed: "I am a clan member of the Han family. I should support the Han family and maintain unity. I should not sit and watch the thieves rampant and harm our people! If there is anything wrong in the future, you must remind it in time."

Tian Feng nodded and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no such thing as kindness! Only by being inclusive of hundreds of rivers can you become great. The king will follow advice like a stream, and he will be a wise master in the future."

Liu He took the opportunity to say to Guan and Zhang: "It's not terrible to make mistakes, what's terrible is not having the courage to admit mistakes, we must always remember them in the future."

Tian Feng said again: "Youzhou is poor, and there is not enough money and food. The prince is sympathetic to the soldiers, and he also considers the overall situation. His subordinates have a plan to solve this matter with the best of both worlds."

Liu He asked, "Is the plan going to come out?"

Tian Feng was clearly prepared, and immediately replied: "As far as I know, there is no shortage of men and horses in Jizhou, but there is a lack of people to command the army. The king and the prince only need to bring an elite army to go first, and the army can follow. If you can Beheading the head of the bandit will cause the bandit to fight without fighting, and the power of the bandit will naturally disintegrate. Firstly, it can show the righteousness of the king, and secondly, it can save money and food, and there is no need to waste too many troops."

"Hahaha, Mister really has a great plan!" Liu He was overjoyed, this is the ability that a top strategist should possess.

Tian Feng thought of a plan when he was admonishing, instead of blindly accusing faults, in order to highlight his own existence, so that he is no different from those fake keyboard warriors of later generations.

Several people discussed at the moment, Liu He sent someone to send a letter, ordering Han Dang and Qu Yi to lead elite troops to rescue Yingtao, and then he and Guan Zhang also went to Jizhou in the starry night.

With such full sincerity, even if Wang Fen knew that he was taking advantage of the fire to rob, he would feel better. He should be a mercenary for a while, and naturally he should satisfy his employer.

At this time, thinking of the conversation with Liu Fang before, Liu He suddenly felt ashamed. Compared with these celebrities, his vision was still too low.

Taking advantage of the rest, Liu He and Wei You discussed the site selection of the academy. Originally, they only planned to build a medical center, but now their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It is obviously impossible to do it in Fanyang City.

After several discussions, the address was finally chosen in Beixin City, southwest of Fanyang. This place is the closest to Jizhou and is the only place where Jizhou leads to Youzhou. planning.

One million yuan is more than enough to build a medical center, but it is far from enough to build a school palace. We can only repair the city wall and plan the land. The first step is to build the academy and the medical center, and the rest will be gradually completed later.

After a short rest, Liu He immediately set off from Fanyang, which is still more than [-] miles away from Julu. The last time he marched to ask for a yellow scarf, he walked for almost half a month. can arrive.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone rode their horses across the open field and entered Jizhou. They saw that many fields were still barren, but the crops near the water were still in order. It can be seen that Wang Fen's governance ability is quite good.

At noon on the second day, Liu He had already arrived outside Julu City. Wang Fen was shocked when he heard the news. It took less than three days for Xu You to come back. Before the food and grass were ready, Liu He arrived.

Wang Fen hurriedly went to greet him at the gate of the city. Although Liu He only came with a few dozen people, they were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

After resting in the government office for a while, Liu He asked Chang Shan and Ying Tao about the enemy's situation. Sure enough, as Tian Feng expected, there were also many defenders in Jizhou. During this time, Ying Tao had gathered more than 1 defenders. Is the commander of the army.

Liu He rushed to the front line without having time to eat. Wang Fen was very grateful and sighed: "Now I know that Liu Boxing is a righteous person. We treat him with the heart of a villain. I am ashamed, ashamed!"

All the officials watched Liu He and his party leave without saying a word. Xu You sighed softly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, prepare money and food!"

Wang Fen immediately ordered people to prepare money and food to send to Fan Yang overnight. Liu He asked for more, but it was all reasonable. Compared with protecting Jizhou, this effort was worthwhile.
