Peace is beautiful, but war is always watching the beauty of peace. If you don’t pay attention at any time, you may break through this barrier and cause tragedy!

After Li Zhe's expedition to the west, the situation in Xu Du did not go smoothly.

The long-term small-scale struggles within it have been one after another, and the rebound caused by some arbitrary means during the missionary of the Tianshidao Judgment, as well as the struggle between the court and local gentry, have always been accompanied by the rise of Li Zhejun, and it seems that it will never stop. Li Zhejun's militia and civil society and Tianshidao organization have become the sky-raising jade pillars on which Li Zhe relied to maintain the place.

The public opinion struggle with the enemy is even more dazzling. Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao in the south, and Sun Quan in the south are all promoting scandals within the court. The imprisonment of the emperor and imprisonment of ministers and scholars are the main points of public opinion attacks. The implementation of various missionary policies of the Tianshidao, Li Zhejun's land and population policies, forcing land to collect land, harming the countryside and other falsely imposed crimes, and Li Zhejun's idea of ​​equality under the law of heaven has become important attacks for these people.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Yi Ji, Wang Yan, Ma Liang and others became the center of this wave of public opinion in the world, and the scholars of Shu who were thousands of miles away also came to join in the fun.

On Li Zhe, Wang Lang, Chen Lin and others who had just defected to him for a while were the main players. Both of them were wonderful and expert in verbal warfare, especially after learning logic, they were even more sharp. Faced with the world's rampant rebuttals, the public opinion war was also quite eye-catching.

However, the audience of these public opinion wars can only be famous scholars and scholars. It is quite rare. Only Li Zhe can say that he has a broad mass base. Now, after nearly a year of mass education, the literacy rate under Li Zhe has increased exponentially, far exceeding the average situation of this era! This situation and social reaction have completely turned over.

If you have wonderful mouths, you naturally need to move in your hands.

In late October, not long after Li Zhe left, Yuan Shao's army had abnormal movements along the Yellow River. Cangting, Huaxian, Yanjin... several important Yellow River ferries fought in an attempt to cross the Yellow River defense line in one fell swoop. However, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Weiyuan Army guarding this place, was a fine person. He had been waiting for the battle, and his subordinates Le Jin, Liu Yan, Gong Du and others gave him a head-on attack. The heavy crossbows and crossbows were even more prominent in the battle between the navy. The small boats crossing the river almost knocked them over with one shot, becoming fragments drifting down the Yellow River. Yuan Shao's army stole chickens without eroding rice and retreated in full swing.

In November, when Li Zhe's army entered Guanzhong, Zhang Yan's main force of Zhenwei Army in Pingyang County also suddenly exerted force, marching into Xihe and Shangdang counties in Bingzhou. He fought with the main senior officials of the Yuan Shao army in Bingzhou. Shangdang went on a battle in the mountains and ridges. The two sides did not decide the winner and the Zhang Yan could not make any progress. However, in Xihe County, he met Guo Yuan's troops of the main official in Xihe County. He fought more than ten fierce battles, and the battle lasted for half a month. Finally, he defeated his army, killed Guo Yuan, and firmly controlled the bridgehead of Xihe County. From then on, the mountains and rivers of Bingzhou began to open in front of Li Zhe's army.

In the south, Liu Biao had a long confrontation with Su Wu's Zhennan Army on the border of Nanyang Army. Occasionally, there were small-scale confrontations, and Liu Biao's army suffered great losses. After several times, the border was increasingly moving towards Xiangyang. People in Jingzhou were in a hurry and had to mobilize the southern garrison to press onto the border on a large scale, and stopped Su Wu and Cao Ren's troops. Before Liu Biao's forces were dispatched, they were in a mess.

At this time, the southern counties in Jingzhou had an undercurrent.

...

Xu Du, Nei Shu Pavilion.

Xu Shu, Hua Xin, Liao Hua, Su San, Su Ju and other cabinet officials gathered around and talked to someone in the hall.

"Your lord has never been in the court, but he is just a rural official. How can we know how capable he is? Is he highly respected in the countryside? Can we be able to defend the place? I don't know all these situations, so how can we agree to be the prefect, the prefect, and the herdsman on behalf of the emperor? The court's important responsibilities, how can we be able to privately teach each other? It's ridiculous! A young man, Xu Shu, was thunderous and scolded the famous scholar in front of him! He scolded him for nothing, and the situation was quite ridiculous.

But even if he was like this, the man opposite him was helpless. Who made Xu Shu, a young man, not the biggest official position, stay in the cabinet now? He would have something to ask for when politely, and now he could only listen respectfully. It turned out that this person was someone who came to Xu Du to ask for an official position for his lord.

"Sir! Please calm down! Let me tell you slowly. My lord Han Xuan! He is a famous scholar in Jingzhou, famous and well-known in the prefectures and counties, and has always been admired by the people in the countryside. This is why everyone recommended him to come to the court to ask for a title. My lord is loyal to His Royal Highness Ming and wants to come to Xudu to meet him for a long time. However, his official duties are busy and he has never been seen. Therefore, even though he is in the wilderness, he is sincerely in the court!"

"Oh! Is that true?" Xu Shu turned his back, looking disbelieving.

In desperation, the man continued:

"That's true. Liu Biao and others disrespect the court and the Ming King. They secretly contacted Sun Quan of Jiangdong to oppose the court. Although we are foolish in the countryside, we know loyalty and righteousness. All the counties and counties despise them! We are determined to do our best to unify the court, so the princess recommended him to come to the court to seek title. His loyalty to the court is a sign of the day!"

As he said that, he fell to the front of the hall and bowed to the ground! His shape was extremely honest!

Xu Shu was about to answer, but suddenly Hua Xin stood up and coughed, walked up to Xu Shu and said:

"Yuan Zhi! Han Xuan has always been in the court. Although he is in the barbaric land of Jingnan, his loyalty to the court and the Ming King is obvious to all. Isn't this a false statement? The court rewards his loyalty, but it also needs to be expressed!"

Xu Shu was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Oh! Since that's the case, you can retreat first! Wait until I discuss it, how about I'll send you a reply tomorrow?"

Yes! This man was unwilling to accept it, but he couldn't. After responding, he stepped back and stepped back!

"Sir Shangshu! What do you mean today?" Xu Shu knew that Hua Xin had always been arbitrary in his actions, but his actions today were a little sudden. Why did he speak for a mere local official in Jingzhou?

Hua Xin stroked the long beard and said, "Yuan Zhi! This Han Xuan's incident is very beneficial to the court, but it is a good opportunity! I know that you hate evil and can't stand this kind of person who sells his masters and seeks honor. It's just a major matter in the court, but you should not act irresponsibly. Although Han Xuan is only a hero in Changsha, he is indeed a famous scholar in Jingnan! His potential power is quite impressive! Now that he is willing to come to the court to seek officials, it means that his intention is determined! But he must take advantage of Liu Biao's embarrassment in Jingnan when the power in Jingnan is empty and he intends to establish himself in Changsha. Even if we don't grant him an official position, it will be fine for him. At most, he will lose the name of the court.

Now, the situation in the world has reversed and the court is dominant. It is normal for Liu Biao and others to join forces to fight against the court, but we can also use the technique of unity to cultivate enemies within the other party! Han Xuan, whether he is loyal to the court or not, actually irrelevant. As long as he follows our banner, we will have some means to control him in the future. What is important now is that Liu Biao is terminally ill and has unstable internally, and Han Xuan is completely likely to cut off the last straw of his power!

In this world, many times, force is the most effective solution, but sometimes other methods may not be impossible to try. Yuanzhi, you are highly valued by your lord, appointed as the cabinet to stay, shoulder the burden of a country, and you still need to let go of your obsession in everything!"

After listening to Hua Xin's words, Xu Shu was shocked. Sure enough, he was a little emotional instinctively. As a subordinate of Liu Biao, Han Xuan was instinctively dissatisfied with Xu Shu and was a little overreacting. Looking at this from another perspective, although it was disgusting, it was a matter of unsatisfaction for the Xu Du court. If you think about it carefully, isn't this a method of using the military books and war strategies? He is still a little immature after all!

"Thank you for your teachings! Xu Shu has received the teachings!" He bowed to Hua Xin, and Xu Shu said...)
