Liu Beicai coughed lightly and said, "I summoned you here today because I have something to discuss with you gentlemen! I also hope that you can gather ideas to solve the urgent need!"
Chapter 431 Surrender or Resist
Liu Bei's tone was heavy.
The people present had guessed from his tone that something big would happen.
After all, the scale of this court meeting is second only to the time when Liu Bei seized power!
Although everyone can think of it, it must be related to Cao Jun's war.
But Zhang Song, who is a supporter of the Liu faction, was the first to come out and said:
"Minggong, I don't know if there is anything to order, it's okay to just say it, we will definitely die after we die!"
There is no need to express the suspicion of flattery in what he said.
Immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of Zhao Wei and others.
It's just that he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only curse silently in his heart:
Pooh!The villain of the seller begging for glory!
Pooh!shameless!
……
Liu Bei was very satisfied with Zhang Song's words, he nodded and said:
"With the words of your lords, Bei is relieved! A piece of bad news came from the north in the early morning of this morning. Cao Ang personally led [-] cavalry and set off from Yecheng. Their goal is our Yizhou! Do you guys think how to deal with this matter?"
The reason why Liu Bei said to deal with it, but not to resist, was because he was afraid that if no one advocated to resist, he was going to be the first to leave Yizhou.
As for the way forward, he has already thought about it, the worst is to stay away from the Central Plains, just like Sun Ce, he will never set foot in the Central Plains until his wings are full!
As the saying goes, one stone can stir up a thousand waves, Liu Bei's words undoubtedly dropped a blockbuster among the crowd.
In an instant, the group of officials was in an uproar!
"What, Cao Ang is here again?"
"Oh! How can this be done!"
"Cao Ang's soldiers pointed out that everything is invincible in battle, invincible in attack, and invincible in attack, how can we resist it!"
"Yes, yes! Cao Ang's prestige is known to everyone. He uses soldiers like a god. It is said that he is the reincarnation of a fairy. Last time I heard that he was in a hurry to go home for the New Year, so he didn't attack our Yizhou in one fell swoop. This time he Leading an army of [-] people here, it must be because they want to take Yizhou into their pockets!"
"What Jiang Gong said is true, what should we do!"
"Hey! What else can I do? I really can't fight and the only way is to surrender!"
"..."
For a while, discussions arose in the originally quiet hall.
Most of the people present thought that facing Cao Ang and his [-] army, there was only one way to surrender, and there was no other way to choose!
Liu Bei, who was sitting in the seat, saw everyone's performance in his eyes.
Can't help but drip water from a gloomy face.
What kind of people are these? Cao Ang hasn't arrived yet, but he is so frightened that he wants to surrender when he hears that he is coming?
It's just a bunch of rabble!
He didn't think about it, when he heard the news, wasn't his first thought to run away immediately?
When Fazheng heard the comments of the officials present, he couldn't help feeling angry.
He is a staunch main fighter, otherwise he would not have launched a mutiny with Liu Bei because Liu Zhang advocated surrendering Cao.
Fazheng took a look at the case in front of him and said:
"Enough! All of you are receiving the salaries of the Han Dynasty, and eating the food grown by the people of the Han Dynasty, but in your heart you are thinking of rebellious officials and thieves who surrender to the Han Dynasty. Do you still have your conscience?"
What he said was so righteous that many people present bowed their heads in shame and did not dare to mention the matter of surrender.
Others dare not touch his brow, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that.
An old Yizhou official named Jiang Yi, who is over sixty years old this year, got up on crutches and said:
"Huang Kou'er said it lightly, and you don't weigh your own weight. Cao Ang and his army defeated Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes, in one month. It can be seen that he and his subordinates How brave and good at fighting. If you look at our Yizhou, the population is only over one million, and how many soldiers can fight. Do you mean that our Yizhou is already stronger than Yuan Benchu? "
Jiang Yi has been an official in Yizhou for many years, so he naturally has his interpersonal relationship. In addition, his analysis is unreasonable. Immediately, those who were dumbed down by Fazheng all nodded in praise:
"Ah! That's right! Look at how thorough Master Jiang's analysis is!"
"No! It seems that Fazheng is still too young to know the cruelty of war!"
and many more!
There were different opinions, and the momentum of surrender was raised again.
Fazheng snorted coldly!
"Mr. Jiang, I respect you as a senior. I call you Mr. Jiang. What you said is indeed very reasonable, but don't forget that Yizhou is not Jingzhou, nor is it Yizhou. Although we don't have many people, we can There are also more than [-] armored soldiers. In addition, there are many dangerous mountains and mountains in Yizhou. The reason why Cao Ang was invincible is nothing more than relying on the heavy cavalry under his command. However, the terrain of Yizhou is precisely designed to restrain the heavy cavalry. You can take advantage of the terrain to fight Cao Jun, as long as you work together and make arrangements, it is not impossible to fight Cao Jun!"
The few main fighters also echoed:
"It makes sense! Well said!"
"This is indeed our advantage. According to what the military adviser said, there is indeed a possibility of a war!"
"..."
There were sparse voices of approval, but it was clear that a small minority were in favor of World War I.
Comparing the two sides, the main faction has an absolute advantage.
Jiang Yi smiled disdainfully: "Absurd! Yuan Benchu had an army of more than 20, and he also had a fortified city, and the Yellow River was naturally dangerous. In the end, what happened? Didn't he die in Yecheng? Also, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, had as many elite soldiers as a cow's hair. How? Didn’t you suffer a big loss in the water battle you are best at, and lose to a foreign country in despair! You have not yet known whether you will live or die when you go to sea. Do you, Fazheng, dare to say that you are stronger than the two of them?”
Fazheng reasoned and said: "We are different from them. Yuan Benchu was self-willed. He didn't listen to the suggestions of his subordinates. He didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people. He caused anger and resentment, so he lost Yizhou carelessly. But Sun Ce was defeated by Cao Ang. The warships are sharp, and Cao Ang will see through the bitter tricks before they will be defeated. As long as we are united and united, why can't we create miracles?"
"It's easy to say, with one mind, do you think it's possible?"
This is really a headache.
Yizhou had just entered the hands of Liu Bei. At this time, most of the officials in Yizhou were from the old ministry of Liu Zhang.
Liu Bei, who is in the seat, also knows the truth.
He looked at everyone present, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
To be honest, as long as there is a glimmer of life, he does not want to go far beyond the Great Wall.
In addition to the wind and sand all over the sky, there is an endless desert, where you can live happily in Chengdu.
You can still listen to ditties if you have nothing to do, and there are beautiful dancers with graceful figures performing dances.
It can be said that in the past two months, Liu Bei, who has been busy for half his life, understands what is life and what is enjoyment.
It is so comfortable!
Chapter 432
If he was asked to leave at this time, Liu Bei would really be reluctant.
In a trance, his mind wandered a bit, and he saw at a glance that Zhendong Zhonglang, who was sitting peacefully, was Zhao Wei.
After Zhao Wei entered the hall, he didn't say a word, just bowed his head in his place and remained silent.
As if asleep.
Liu Bei knew that this person was quite prestigious in the Yizhou army, and his words could play a decisive role.
In fact, Liu Bei has long wanted to find an excuse to execute him. After all, Zhao Wei is not his confidant, but also has the military power in his hands. .
It can be said that no matter who is replaced by such an uncertain factor, I am afraid they will feel uneasy!
But this moment is not the best time to put him to death.
Liu Bei fully absorbed the lessons learned by Yuan Shao and Qu Yi.
With a smile on his face, he asked Zhao Wei when no one was expressing his opinion at the moment:
"General Zhendong Zhonglang, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhao Wei was indeed about to fall asleep. He felt that such a wrangling meeting was simply too boring. It was the so-called soldiers who came to cover up the water and covered up the water. Either they fought to the end, or they raised their hands to surrender, but whether they surrendered or not, they had to fight Besides, otherwise, if it spreads out, what face will there be!
With his mind empty, he didn't hear Liu Bei's inquiry.
Fortunately, the general Yan Yan who was beside him gave him a push, and whispered, "Master Zhonglang, my lord is asking you something!"
Only then did Zhao Wei come to his senses: "Ah! What? What happened? Is the discussion over?"
Yan Yan couldn't help but touch her forehead!
Boss, can you have a snack, this is a military meeting, you are lucky, you really fell asleep!
In desperation, he had no choice but to repeat Liu Bei's words just now:
"My lord is asking you, what is your opinion on Cao Ang's attack?"
"Oh! Thank you, old general, for reminding me!"
Zhao Wei straightened his back and cupped his hands towards Liu Bei above, saying:
"My minister has no objection, everything is up to the lord to decide!"
Liu Bei is so angry!
If I can make up my mind, why would I ask you guys to do it!
Also, are you going too far, this is so imminent that you still have the mood to sleep here, you just don't take Lao Tzu seriously!
Liu Bei suppressed the urge to push him out and behead him at this moment.
He still said silently in his heart, don't be angry, don't get angry, stay safe and don't be impatient!
After chanting silently in his heart several times in a row, he said:
"Yizhou is not my Yizhou alone. When Cao Jun arrives, you and the people of Yizhou will be affected. I hope to hear the opinions of General Zhonglang!"
Zhao Wei was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei's disgraceful superior position. In his opinion, Yizhou should be handed over to Yizhou people to govern. What these outsiders do is nothing more than collecting money without a bottom line after taking office.
Liu Yan is like this, Liu Zhang is also like this, and this Liu Xuande, although he has not shown it yet, but he thinks that they are all from the Liu family, and the result must be the same.
Therefore, he is basically in a semi-retired state. If Liu Bei hadn't sent someone to invite him, he wouldn't even bother to attend the meeting!
But now that Liu Bei was able to put down his posture and ask for advice, his heart softened, and he said:
"Yizhou is the land of Longxing, the ancestor of Gaozu. At that time, Gaozu was weak in military force, and he could still use Yizhou's terrain to fight against the overlord of Chu. In the end, he relied on Yizhou to raise troops to encircle and kill Xiang Yu in Wujiang River. It’s not much, but it’s better than the great ancestor of the past. No matter how powerful Cao Ang is, he can still compete with the overlord? I agree with Fazheng’s suggestion. We can rely on the dangerous land of Yizhou to fight against Cao’s army, and we may not be invincible!”
Zhao Wei's words are quite prestigious among the local officials in Yizhou. After he expressed his position, he immediately won the support of many vacillating officials.
When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly felt a fire in his heart.
However, before he was allowed to be happy for too long, Jiang Yi spoke again:
"Master Zhonglang, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but don't forget that Cao Ang is not Xiang Yu back then. The reason why Xiang Yu lost to Gaozu was because he was always defiant and didn't put the heroes of the world in his eyes. To say that he loses is due to his arrogance. But Cao Ang is completely different. He can respect the corporals and recruit heroes from all over the world. Master General, what resistance do you have!"
Fazheng had put up with Jiang Yi for a long time, and after he finished speaking, he angrily slapped the table and scolded:
"Old man Jiang Yi, you keep saying that Cao Ang is so powerful, so powerful. Could it be that you are a secret agent sent by Cao Ang to deliberately disturb the morale of our soldiers in Yizhou!"
Even a well-mannered person will inevitably get angry if he is pointed at his nose by a kid with no hair yet.
Not to mention Jiang Yi, who was not very good-tempered in the first place.
The old man was so angry that his beard and hair were all splattered: "The concubine dares to spout blood! I have worked hard in Yizhou for decades. When I was an official here, you were not born yet? Why do you say that I am Cao Ang's secret work? What nonsense! Lord Xuande asks you to uphold justice and severely punish Fazheng, a yellow-mouthed kid who is full of nonsense!"
His fellow party members also spoke out one after another, all denouncing Fa-rectification.
Fazheng's face was full of indifference: "Some people only serve as officials for one day, and their names will go down in history, while some people, even if they are officials for a hundred years, are just eating and waiting to die!"
The old man was so angry that he almost went into shock on the spot.
"You! You! You... are not a son of man!"
Fazheng: "You are the one who is not a son of man. You take the hard-earned money of the people of Yizhou, but you don't do things for the people of Yizhou. A mediocre official like you should be put in a dungeon!"
"Okay! Okay! Fazheng, I never thought of you..."
"What are you thinking! An old man like you is ashamed to be a courtier with you!"
Then he cupped his fists and faced Liu Bei and said:
"Minggong! A traitor like Jiang Yi has been belittling my morale in Yizhou and raising the spirit of Cao Jun. He must be a spy sent by Cao Ang. Liao, use it as an example to others!"
