There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Let's see what the current power layout in Jingzhou is."

The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuanlong, be more careful."

Chen Deng remonstrated to the potter: "After Fu Wan arrived in Jingzhou, although he obtained the support of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang through Liu Bei, and supported Liu Qiong as emperor, he is a foreign guest after all, and in Jingzhou, he can really be in charge. The person with real power is actually Liu Biao, and Liu Bei is between the outsider and the Jingzhou clan, and Liu Zhang is the foreign aid."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Continue talking."

"Liu Qiong is the emperor, and after he abolishes the three princes, he leads the prime minister. On the surface, he is the head of the puppet dynasty, but in fact, most of the power and strength are still in the hands of Liu Biao, but the powerful clans in Jingzhou are also It is a big variable. And Fu Wan became the prime minister, and he will not be inferior to others, and Liu Biao is also the same. There will be conflicts between the two sooner or later, so we can use this incident to take a look at the current situation. Who is in charge of the puppet dynasty? And Liu Bei, who is caught between the two, will choose in the end!"

Only then did the potter suddenly realize: "Looking at it this way, we don't really need to worry about it. Many things need to be taken step by step, one by one. Although the power of the puppet dynasty may seem large on the surface, it is after all temporary forces from all sides. It's hard to tell what's going on in their bones right now."

……

Jingzhou, Jiangling.

Liu Bei has been very depressed these two days.

After Fu Wan, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang, who was also a clan member, established the emperor in Xiangyang, they started building a palace for the new dynasty and regarded it as the foundation of the country.

The original intention of building a palace for the new emperor is good, but if personal feelings or desires are mixed with it, the good thing will change in nature.

Liu Bei was in charge of the governor's palace construction.

It stands to reason that this matter is actually a fat job. When the pottery built the palace for Liu Xie in Fan County, how much profit he made from it... Anyway, only the pottery knows.

But when it came to Liu Bei, it became a chore.

The main reason is that Fu Wan and Liu Biao disagreed.

One wants to build a palace in Xiangyang, and the other proposes to set the capital at Jiangling in Nanjun.

Liu Bei was really sad to be caught in the middle.

Chapter 595 The Liu Family

Liu Bei has been observing the boundaries of Jiangling for a while, and he feels that compared with Xiangyang in the north of Jingbei, this is indeed a good place for establishing a capital.

The north bank of Jingshui is Yunmeng Lake, and the south bank is Dongting Lake.The river water carried sediment and deposited it in secondary confluences, gradually forming this piece of land.Because the land is adjacent to the river, there are no high mountains in the vicinity, and all are mausoleums, so it is named Jiangling.

In history, Cao Cao wanted to go south to take Liu Bei several times after Chibi, but it was because Jiangling is adjacent to the water in the north, and the terrain is quite dangerous. No matter how many soldiers and horses you come from the north, you will not be able to attack him, not to mention that Jiangling has been Jingzhou since ancient times. The main city of the government has a long history. After 600 years of precipitation and accumulation, its transformation and the scale of the city surrounded by population are by no means comparable.

It is estimated that Fu Wan also fell in love with this point, so he insisted on letting the emperor rest here.

But it is normal for Liu Biao to disagree.

After all, the headquarters of Xiangyang is his base. Since Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone in the first year of Chuping, and joined the Jingzhou clan headed by Cai and Kuai to obtain the ruling power in Jingzhou, Xiangyang has always been his base camp, allowing Liu Biao to easily Give up here, presumably he will not agree.

Even if Liu Biao agreed, the Kuai family and the Cai family, both of whom had their foundations in Xiangyang, would probably not agree.

Although the master of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, but there are no Kuai and Cai clans, Liu Biao has long since ended in Jingzhou, so he has to pay attention to their interests, so no matter what, Liu Biao must fight hard to make the capital of the country in Xiangyang place.

This created a fierce conflict between the two.

As for Liu Zhang of Xichuan, although he expressed his surrender, his power is still huddled in Shu, and he can't get a hand in the affairs of Jingzhou. Right now, the two sides are facing each other, and the situation is quite serious, so there is no time to intervene in matters like Dingdu.

Depressed, Liu Bei returned to Xiangyang after the investigation in Jiangling and reported the truth to Liu Biao and Fu Wan.

But what is surprising is that both Fu Wan and Liu Biao are obviously not in a good mood.

"Humph!"

After slamming down heavily on the table, he gritted his teeth angrily and stared.

"Pottery merchant dog thief! An dare to do this, not only write insults to me, but also dare to make up lies, saying that the real dragon appeared in Xuzhou, and the purple air came from the east. It is clear that it is to establish a false dynasty to prepare to oppose us, but we It is absolutely impossible to let him succeed."

Liu Bei didn't say a word after hearing Fu Wan's words, but remained silent.

In fact, Liu Bei also felt that the matter of Emperor Fu Wanli was a little urgent, and some things were done almost without thinking, so doing things like this would be too many omissions.

Work is not careful at all.

In Liu Bei's eyes, Fu Wan's approach is no different from that of a stupid pig. In terms of politics and military strategy, he is really far behind the potter, and he is not at the same level at all.

In fact, Liu Bei thought that Liu Biao could see these things at the beginning, but Liu Biao didn't remind him when he hurriedly established the emperor after he was overwhelmed.

Liu Bei didn't understand it at first, but later he realized some of the true meaning of this.

Liu Biao just wants to make Fu Wan feel depressed, let Fu Wan know that he is not good enough, and use external forces to suppress him. Don't look at Fu Wan who proclaimed himself prime minister after the establishment of the new dynasty, but Liu Biao wants him to know that if he, the so-called prime minister, does not Myself, shit is not.

Liu Biao is 56 years old this year. In this era with a relatively low life expectancy, his energy and experience are enough to be called an old man, and his ability is indeed worthy of this title.

He stroked the white flowers with a smile and some loose beard, and said: "Why should the prime minister be like this, we have to do some things slowly. Right now, we should first determine the land of the palace, plow the fields extensively, store grain and grass In order to ensure the survival of the imperial court and the revival of the Han Dynasty, we must practice hard and strong, protect the livelihood of the people, and recruit talented people from all over the world."

After Fu Wan saw Liu Biao's unhurried expression, he couldn't help feeling angry.

The old dog is acting unhurriedly, what does he think of this new dynasty?

"Garnish food and grow strong?" Fu Wan flicked the planner in his hand, trembling with anger, he said to Liu Biao: "It's hard to deal with this right now, the pottery merchant has made a statement, and when the next spring begins, We are going to fight against us for raising troops, so where do we have time to waste time? It is better to take advantage of the potters who have just ended the war in Guandu and their strength is declining, and send troops to crusade. How about curbing the power of the Tao thief?"

Liu Biao laughed loudly, and said: "The Prime Minister's words are really petty, and they are all children's words. Not to mention the fact that the potters defeated Yuan Shao and their morale is in full swing. It's just that Zhang Xian's rebellion in Jingnan has not been eliminated. Lu Bu and Sun Ce are also troubled. I am too late to deal with these internal thieves. How can I have the energy to fight against the potters? The so-called agreed time to launch a crusade is just for the world to see, so there is no need to worry about the prime minister. filter."

Fu Wan is now the prime minister, but Liu Biao vetoed all orders and requests, without any right to speak, and couldn't help being furious.

This effect is not what I want to support the new emperor and become the prime minister!

What he wants is the status of being under one person and above tens of thousands.

What is this prime minister now?Is it Liu Biao's dog?

"No! The truth has already been decided. Zhang Xian and Lu Bu, Sun Ce can write a book to appease them, and we can make plans later, but pottery merchants are the great thieves of the country. No matter what, we must attack first, and no changes will be allowed!" Fu Wan said angrily, intending to consolidate his prestige.

Let alone Liu Biao, even Liu Bei couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this.

How to describe it?He thinks too highly of himself.

Liu Biao sighed helplessly, stood up, and said to Fu Wan: "Since the prime minister has made up his mind, then you should take the time to talk to the soldiers of the three armies in Jingzhou and let them send troops to fight against the prime minister. After sitting for a long time, my bones will turn sore, so I won't be messing around with the prime minister here, and I have the right to retire."

Hearing this, Fu Wan's face suddenly changed.

Let me take the time to tell the three armies who the hell do I know?

"Liu Jingsheng! You"

Liu Biao stopped looking at him, but turned to Liu Bei and said, "Xuande, this old man's legs are not good, you send me off."

Regardless of whether it is the Royalist faction or the Jingzhou faction, Liu Bei is currently the least valued figure. If Liu Biao asks him to give it to him, he naturally dare not neglect it.

So, Liu Bei stepped forward and helped Liu Biao out of the hall, leaving only one person sulking inside after lying down, his face as suffocated as a shriveled eggplant, as purple as it could be.
