Tao Qian was still waiting for Zhang Liang to express his opinion, and even grabbed Zhang Liang's hand, not lacking in pleading.

What Tao Qian meant, how could Zhang Liang not understand that the courtiers in the Han Dynasty really had a lot of prejudice against Cao Cao, and no one could compare with him in terms of power.

"For the matter of massacring the city, Liang will think of a way, but the Han thieves and the Han officials disagree on this matter. The unified emperor is weak, and there will always be one person who needs to stand up and be criticized by everyone."

Tao Qian might not necessarily understand what Zhang Liang meant, but he had to say it.

"Does the Shaofu agree with Cao Cao's approach? Don't you feel ashamed of your own identity, ashamed of the emperor, Cao Cao covers the sky with one hand, does he still have the Han Dynasty in his eyes?"

The more Tao Qian spoke, the more excited he became, but because of the intensity of his emotions, he couldn't breathe for a while.

"Cough cough cough~"

"He suppressed Hanchen a lot, and what benefits did he give you? Didn't he make an example to Shaofu?"

Questioning again and again, as if to make Zhang Liang feel ashamed immediately and stand on the same front with him.

Zhang Liang has been listening indifferently, and when he disagrees, he will raise his own opinion in due course.

"He didn't do Liang any favors, and Liang didn't speak for Cao Sikong. The world needs chess masters. At present, it seems that he is just more suitable."

Zhang Liang has his own position, Cao Cao seems to be just suitable for the position of the chess player, to help Cao Cao substantively, he really didn't do much.

"Tao Cishi's condition should not be too emotional. Liang finally said that anyone can be a chess player, but there are not many people who can lead the people."

Instead of arguing with him here, why never stand up on your own, with the right to have territory and soldiers, I don’t know how many people have a higher starting point.

When Zhang Liang pushed the door and walked out, Guo Jia and the pottery merchant outside the door were staring at each other.

His eyes asked Guo Jia, why is he here?

"Since we've finished chatting with the governor, we won't bother you any more."

Guo Jia bid farewell to the potter, dragging Zhang Liang to leave.

Being dragged away, after passing by the potter's side, Zhang Liang looked back deliberately, just in time to meet the potter's who had turned his head.

After returning to Guo Jia's residence in the mansion, Guo Jia answered Zhang Liang's question just now, "Jia also wanted to ask why they invited Zizhang to come. Then Liu Bei has a lot of eyes, and I don't know how many people want to poach the wall."

"Poaching? Good is nothing more than an unknown person, and there is nothing wrong with no merit."

Zhang Liang knew very well in his heart that many people in Xudu looked down on him, even if they opened their mouths, they would come. Fang Liang is not just the young man from heaven.

"A thousand-mile horse also needs Bole's insight."

Guo Jia was still worried about whether Zhang Liang was aggrieved because his talents were not appreciated, so he hurriedly said a few words of comfort.

The listener has the heart to say but the unintentional, Zhang Liang is lucky, but fortunately, Guo Jia doubts that he is not good enough for Zhang Liang, otherwise this comforting words will definitely embarrass Guo Jia.

The two were still chatting, when there was a knock on the door, "Knock-knock~"

The voices of the two also stopped abruptly, Guo Jia got up and pushed the door open, Zhang Liang only listened to a few people whispering for a while.

Then when Guo Jia came in, he muttered something.

"Then Liu Bei came to look for Zizhang at this time, why did he want to poach the wall everywhere, Jia saw that he was a little uneasy and kind, so Zizhang better not go."

Zhang Liang was so irritable that he was just a little helpless.

"If you don't go, how do you know what their purpose is, and there is no shortage of him in preaching."

Knowing that there will be some traps but still having to act on the occasion, Guo Jia himself is more casual and will not go if he can't.

But Zhang Liang was different, etiquette still had to be comprehensive. After leaving the room, Liu Bei happened to be waiting outside the door.

"I don't know why Shijun Liu is here?"

Liu Bei didn't answer the words directly, but continued to walk outside after the salute, as if there were some words that Guo Jia couldn't know.

Guo Jia had been eavesdropping by the door, but following the sound of footsteps, he rushed out to see where the two of them were.

Scratching my head, I miscalculated!

At first Zhang Liang was a little skeptical, but now he had a little understanding of Liu Bei's intentions, so he quietly waited for him to explain his intentions.

Liu Bei also miscalculated, he thought that Zhang Liang would at least be curious, but he glanced at his expression, and he was quite content.

This time Liu Bei was in a hurry, and he didn't filter his words for a while, "Bei asked the Shaofu to come out this time, because he wanted to ask about His Majesty's recent situation."

"Your Majesty, things are going well these days. It's just that Cao Sikong's expedition and Xiliang have been eyeing Xu Du all the time. I'm afraid there will be constant conflicts."

Zhang Liang gave a very ambiguous answer, what happened to Liu Xie, maybe everything was fine except for his own rights.

But these two are the most desired things as an emperor, and Liu Xie should choose whether it is good or not.

"Bingzhou Xiliang soldiers, and Jizhou Yuan Shao may have been staring at this place."

Zhang Liang was not fooled at all, which frustrated Liu Bei. Originally, some plans were to pass Liu Xie, and then play a card of affection in front of him.

Zhang Liang insisted on talking to Liu Bei about his deadly rival Cao Cao, but Liu Bei still had to listen to it and accept it. Talking to Mingming was too difficult for him.

Had to be led by the nose by Zhang Liang, for a moment Liu Bei seemed to realize the importance of a counselor.

Zhang Liang avoided the place of the Son of Heaven, but Liu Bei paid special attention to immediately changing the subject, "Cao Cao seems to have plans to massacre the city. I don't know what the Shaofu thinks."

"Liang considers the interests of the common people. What crimes do they have? Tao Cishi once asked Liang for help. This matter cannot be compromised."

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Liang has always emphasized his position and principles. Even if the civil servants do not get involved in military affairs, Zhang Liang will still do his best to defend the things he does not want to see.

Suddenly Liu Bei felt that there was still hope for his purpose. After being seen through and shocked before, he looked a little dying, and immediately regained his energy.

"The people are innocent, so why bother to impose personal enmity on them, the people are weak and should be restrained by benevolence and righteousness, otherwise it will cause a situation of perversion."

Liu Bei didn't say it clearly, he knew that Zhang Liang must know, he just reminded him slowly, recalling the scene of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"Forgiving oneself and loving others, benevolence and righteousness are fine, but it seems that goodness is not suitable for troubled times. The affairs of the family have nothing to do with oneself. It is difficult for the people to survive. No one wants to add a lot of trouble to themselves."

He didn't express his attitude much before, but this opportunity just made Liu Bei understand that the benevolence and righteousness of being alone is not enough to conquer the world, but it can rule the world.

Without enough deterrence, benevolence and righteousness are worthless. This is why Liu Bei has been down so far!

Liu Bei suddenly fell into silence, he didn't dig anyone under the wall, and he was taught a lesson by Zhang Liang.

After a sudden realization, Liu Bei seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and saluted Zhang Liang again humbly.

The etiquette is sufficient, and the heart is also sincerely grateful.

"The young mansion is a great talent, he has been educated, and Bei has always had doubts. In the troubled times, the young mansion has no intention of displaying his talents?"

The more he came into contact with Zhang Liang, the stronger the feeling of hiding something. If it wasn't for today's in-depth discussion, Liu Bei would only think of Zhang Liang as a high-ranking official in name only, or a fool.

Here, Zhang Liang seemed to hesitate after a pause, and he opened his mouth after a long while: "Liang is not interested in fame and wealth, Liang only does his best to help when there are going to be mistakes, and I hope that this will never happen. when."

"There's no place to display your talents, don't you feel lost?" Then he continued to examine himself, "Sometimes Bei also feels disappointed or hopeless about his life, wasting half his life without achieving anything, and wasting the time of two good brothers. "

"No, Liang hopes that there is nowhere for this talent and learning to be used, and the people in the world live and work in peace and contentment. How can Liang alone compare with him?"

Zhang Liang has never regarded himself as important. If he is rich, he will help the world, but if he is poor, he will be alone. There is not only one way to pursue fame and fame.

"Is that so? Bei is too short-sighted."

Liu Bei was brainwashed by Zhang Liang's move, and when he looked at Zhang Liang, he felt that he stood at a height that no one could touch.

Throwing people away, Liu Bei fell into his own confusion, and Liu Bei hadn't recovered when Zhang Liang left.

Shaking his head, he walked past Liu Bei. He still has a long way to go. Only after suffering more losses will he know where he is lacking.

The battle was still going on and the city gate was about to be broken, but Liu Bei personally asked Tao Qian for instructions to let them leave the city.

Zhang Liang felt that it was expected, and Guo Jia was a little surprised, not to mention Tao Qian and the pottery merchant.

In the lobby, Liu Beili was in the middle of the aisle, and Zhang Liang and Guo Jia were sitting side by side. The three of them focused their eyes on him alone.

Let's talk tidily, Liu Bei has his own calculations, Xuzhou is not Cao Cao's opponent, struggling is just delaying the time to break the city, if Cao Cao really wants to slaughter the city, he must go to Zhou Xuan.

On the main seat, after Liu Bei finished speaking, the pottery merchant's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. He didn't expect that Liu Bei, who is as benevolent as Liu Bei, would also engage in deeds that are ungrateful for profit.

He blurted out and scolded Liu Bei for not knowing good and bad, full of sarcasm, "When you Liu Bei was down and out, we Xuzhou took in your three brothers, now it's fine if you don't help, and you help the enemy, what a benevolent king !"

"Xuzhou is unable to compete with Cao Sikong, and has been entangled in the war for a long time. Can't the eldest son see the situation clearly?"

Confused Guo Jia and the potter under the tree, Qi Qi couldn't believe that Liu Bei would say this, and the situation was written all over his face.

Only Zhang Liang, who was leisurely and complacent, who understood the meaning, did not interfere in the situation that was about to end, and made tea in a leisurely manner, but he just didn't take a sip.

"You are not from Xuzhou, how can you understand our sorrow."

Don't talk if you don't understand, you are not qualified at all.

The potter slowly fell into himself, and couldn't listen to anyone at all.

"The matter of massacring the city, Bei is still Fang Shaofu, we will try our best to persuade Cao Sikong."

Perhaps because he was really afraid that the pottery merchant would misunderstand, Liu Bei immediately added a sentence.

Things are getting better and better, and Guo Jia gradually tastes other meanings.

No matter how noisy it was outside, Zhang Liang still enjoyed the fun of making tea in his hands. This trick was really clever. Xuzhou was sold and he had to lose money in the end.

Those who understand will not hold on to Liu Bei's loopholes. Whether it is Zhang Liang and Guo Jia present, or Cao Cao outside the city, this is what they want to see. Can bear silently.

Calculating that the time was almost up, Zhang Liang silently looked out the door. Amid the hurried footsteps, he made no secret of his master's anxiety.

And Guo Jia, who had lost interest in Liu Bei's moves, turned his attention back to Zhang Liang, and still had nothing to do with him!

"Report, report! The eldest son..."

A boy ran in from outside the door, his face paled in a hurry, as if he had been greatly frightened.

He and Liu Bei were at a disadvantage in the rivalry, and the potter's face was really embarrassing, and he just had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Why are you so flustered? You are the only one present to ask!"

The pottery merchant's expression was not good, and the boy felt that the atmosphere was not right, but Tao Qian had to bring the words with him, and the words came out with a stalk in his neck.

"You dare not, the eldest son, the governor, has passed away. He said that he will entrust the Xuzhou affairs to Liu Shijun, and he will be the next governor of Xuzhou."

"What did you say? Liu Bei is the next governor of Xuzhou? I don't believe it!"

The scenes are played one after another, with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and at this time, it is accompanied by anger, which subtracts a little childishness, and adds a lot of majesty.

There was a loud thunder on the ground, and he was dizzy.

Not asking about his father's life or death, but only looking at the power, Tao Qian had a rare vision much higher.

Zhang Liang is the calmest now, he got up without haste, glanced at Guo Jia and urged him, "Feng Xiao, let's go and send Tao Cishi off."

"Let's go together, eldest son!"

Guo Jia didn't go joking with anyone this time, but asked soothingly rarely.

There was no movement at the potter's place, Zhang Liang also waited together for a while, Liu Bei went directly to help the man who was greatly shocked.

Zhang Liang saw Liu Bei whispering something in the potter's ear, so Liu Bei pulled him up and went out with them.

Along the way, Guo Jia always felt a strange feeling beside him, and tugged Zhang Liang's sleeve in front of him.

Zhang Liang didn't immediately feel the movement from Guo Jia's side, but Tao Qian's humble figure floated beside him, arguing all the time.

Instead of scolding his unfilial son, he followed Zhang Liang and talked about protecting the people of Xuzhou.

Stretching out his hand to cover his left ear, Tao Qian reacted even more.

"I thought you couldn't see, but you were pretending to be blind. Remember what you promised!"

"Noisy!"

"Ok?"

Guo Jia, who followed closely behind Zhang Liang, shook his ears, reached out and touched his chilly neck, "Oh!" Zhang Liang knew something was wrong.

The house was full of servants kneeling all over the floor. The potter came in and stood by the bed, silent without saying a word, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

But when Tao Qian turned his head inadvertently, Zhang Liang found that there was no sadness in it. Why should a conceited person be conceited? This is probably the case!

Zhang Liang felt very emotional in his heart, he wanted to say something but in the end there was only silence.

Guo Jia first bowed three times to the bed, and casually pulled Zhang Liang who was still thinking about something.

"Don't, don't, if the master worships me, it will ruin the old man."

Although Tao Qian didn't know Zhang Liang's true identity, his seniority was definitely not low.

So many people looked at Zhang Liang and noticed that there seemed to be quite a few. Amid Tao Qian's nagging voice of admonition again, Zhang Liang also bowed three times.

Only then did he go out with Guo Jia. During this period, Zhang Liang's eyes kept falling on the empty place, and Guo Jia was terribly frightened.

I didn't think there was anything before, but when I felt guilty and guilty, Guo Jia patted my chest, it would be very scary, okay?

The two are waiting outside, Liu Bei should come out soon, and they need to make up their minds about whether to go or stay.

The people walking around in the courtyard were busy back and forth, and only the two of them had nothing to do, which was very embarrassing.

Guo Jia didn't care, but was afraid that Zhang Liang would lose face, so he suggested, "They won't be too busy for a while, so let's go out and have a look first, and then discuss the matter of leaving the city, how about it?"

"I don't know the situation of the two brothers of the Sima family. It's okay to go out of the mansion to have a look."

His eyes drifted past Tao Qian, and he had to arrange his whereabouts as soon as possible.

As he walked, he thought about the situation constructed by these people behind him.

Tao Qian's current status is that he can't get along with Sun Jian and the others, and he doesn't have anyone else in his hands, so it seems that they will look down upon him if he stays.

The city tower is still fighting, like the last struggle of a desperate person.

When the two passed by, many soldiers could be seen sitting on the ground with their backs against the wall covered in blood, still panting heavily, as if they had just experienced a baptism of life and death.

There are whispers in the whisper, full of despondency, or have fallen into despair, or have no energy at all, the crisis of being broken into the city, everyone knows that it will be the next second, but the feeling of powerlessness that has to be carried on, Wandering around the crowd.

In the baptism of blood, Guo Jia fought with Cao Cao and even commanded him himself, but Zhang Liang in his eyes was not like the first time he met, but like he had experienced countless times, with a feeling of nostalgia in his heart like a sinking stone.

Nostalgic for the battlefield, did Zhang Liang feel the powerlessness of the city?

At this moment, Guo Jia wanted to know more about Zhang Liang, but found that he didn't know anything about it.

A lot of feeling that they thought they were all the same, was shattered for a moment that they were never the same.

Zhang Liang walked by, and the doors and windows on the street he looked at were closed, bleak and lifeless, showing the fate of this city that was about to fall.

The inn entered through the back door, Guo Jia looked at Zhang Liang's behavior in surprise, clicked tut a few times and said nothing.

The room was dark with closed doors and windows and no candles lit. Guo Jia came in and found a place to sit at the table.

Zhang Liangshun went up the stairs, found Sima Yi's room and knocked lightly on the door, but he didn't hear anything. After knocking for a while, the door was opened.

"Shaofu."

Sima Yi looked a little trembling, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Zhang Liang.

He stretched out his hand and was about to drag people into the house, it looked like there was a scourge outside the door.

"I can't explain so much for a while, let's talk about it first! Did the Shaofu come here alone?"

After Zhang Liang left, the place was searched several times. When had Sima Yi seen such a battle?

"Guo Jijiu is still below."

Zhang Liang vaguely suspected that something must have happened in the inn these days that he didn't know about, and Xi Zhicai was not in the city, so he asked someone to take care of it, but there was no manpower.

"The Shaofu will go back to the room first, and Yi can go down for a while."

Sima Yi was extra vigilant and listened to some movement nearby, and would immediately defend himself if there was a disturbance.

Zhang Liang walked into the house, there were no traces of fighting inside, nor in the inn, I hope it's not a big deal.

When the two came up again, Sima Lang followed closely behind, both brothers looked worried.

After several people were seated, Zhang Liang asked them why, "Did something happen before this?"

"After the Shaofu left, a group of officers and soldiers came. It should be the appearance of the Shaofu, which made them suspect that there were other spies in the inn, so they searched everything here."

"The pottery merchant sent people to search, and he could do that. Is there anyone else in the inn?"

Zhang Liang hadn't said anything yet, but Guo Jia paid attention first.

"There are still many people living here, but because the search has been very strict recently, they will find someone to go out and torture them every now and then. Whether they can come back is a question, and many people are worried every day."

"What about you? You need to be recorded when you enter the city."

"Because of their family background, they dare not do anything to Yi and his elder brother, but it is impossible to come up with this inn."

So when seeing them, Zhang Liang obviously found that Sima Yi was still a little hesitant at that moment, and finally changed his state after Si Yi reminded him, and invited them in.

"Then our visit to the inn this time, will it affect you?"

Guo Jia was not polite at all, there was a hint of probing, and even more distrust.

"No, how could it be? They already have doubts, so they won't let go of any clues. It's better to let them know that Xuzhou will be broken now, and they don't have so much time to take care of us."

Guo Jia's doubts really dispelled a lot because of these words, and Sima Yi was more worried about Zhang Liang's side.

Whether he likes a person or not, Zhang Liang can't tell from his face at all, if Guo Jia doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, and he won't even bother you.

Zhang Liang still pretended he didn't see it, but this Si Yi was indeed a bit powerful, "It's good that it's okay, Liang will help you solve the matter later, just leave it to us."

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief again, fearing that he might be misunderstood.

Several people chatted about some things again, and Zhang Liang learned from them that the news of the city massacre had somehow spread, and several households were packing up their things and preparing to run away.

"Relocation, Xuzhou will definitely lose a lot of manpower and material resources. Cao Sikong will be named as Cao thief and will always be put on his head until it is implemented."

Zhang Liang analyzed some things one by one, and he also hoped that Guo Jia could face up to the seriousness of the matter.

In their eyes, these shortcomings can be tolerated, but will the people hope that the emperor who rules the world has shortcomings?

If you want to climb to the top, don't let others laugh at you when you fall.

"If these refugees wander around in various states and counties, no one will dare to seek refuge!"

Between the disadvantages and the advantages, Guo Jia did not blindly support Cao Cao's decision with Zhang Liang's leadership this time, and he could not seek to be quick for a while, but planted the root of permanent disaster.

Without Zhang Liang himself noticing it, he had already begun to put himself into it and think about the problem, thinking about how to polish Cao Cao into a wise master.

"We need to get out of town as soon as possible before it's too late."

When Guo Jia got up, he glanced at Zhang Liang. While making eye contact, the two still walked together again.

"You protect yourselves, we will go to the governor's mansion, and then take you out of the city."

After Zhang Liang asked the two brothers to say a few words, he got up and left.
