Cai Yong and Tian Chou were responsible for the preparations for the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. Zheng Yu had an easy time. He spent his days either comforting the daughters or chatting with Liu Bei. The date was postponed by two months because there were still many state pastors from various places coming. Participate. Zheng Yu thought to himself. This situation is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, there are two big figures, Liu Yu and Cai Yong, presiding over it. It can also shock the princes of all parties.

Han Fu, the Mu of Jizhou, also came. He brought a large number of gifts. At the same time, he represented the princes of Guandong and persuaded Liu Yu to join him as emperor. However, Liu Yu flatly refused. Master Liu was a little unhappy, but he was a guest, so he could Can handle it.

That night, he had a secret talk with Zheng Yu and sighed: "The world is in chaos. Emperor Xian of Chang'an was actually held hostage by Dong Zhuo. But anyone who has some power wants to be the emperor. This is a country without a general. Hmph. Support. They established Bo'an as emperor. Don't they know the dirty thoughts in their hearts? Don't they know that they are not seeking more benefits for themselves?"

In fact, Zheng Yu also wanted to persuade him to join. But after Liu Yu made such a complaint, he quickly swallowed back what he wanted to say. In his heart, he thought that as long as Liu Yu became emperor, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms might be avoided. The situation appeared, but Liu Yu refused to do anything.

Then, Liu Yu said with an angry look on his face: "If Bo An listens to them and lets his selfish thoughts blind his eyes, he will be stabbed in the back by the people all over the world. Maybe he will be infamy for thousands of years." When he said this, his face was full of loneliness. "Although I know that Dong Zhuo messed with power and offered the emperor's will is Dong Zhuo's intention. But I am a member of the Liu clan. I will never do such an immoral thing. This is tantamount to plotting to usurp the throne."

Zheng Yu could only be speechless about this. Historically, he felt more regretful about Liu Yu's failure to heed the advice to become emperor. He felt that if Liu Yu could have been the emperor of the Han Dynasty, perhaps the Han Dynasty would not have perished. He could put himself in his shoes. I feel that being a Youzhou shepherd with real power is better than being an emperor supported by a large group of princes. Besides, there is a lesson learned from the previous dynasty when Wang Mang usurped the throne.

Therefore, Zheng Yu said nothing more about this.

"Forget it. They have different intentions. Let's keep this northern land. When the world is in chaos, let's leave a pure land for the people of the world. After all, the rise and fall of the country has little to do with ordinary people. They want to survive. What they want is stability. Let’s make the tragedy of killing people less intense." Zheng Yu said helplessly.

After Liu Yu completely rejected becoming emperor, he saw that Zheng Yu understood his mood and became cheerful. "Xiao Yun is right. Because of the war in the Central Plains, a large number of people moved north to Youzhou. This time Xiao Yun unified the north. . Completely eliminated the threat to the Central Plains from the Wuhuan and Xianbei ethnic groups in the east. Let's organize a large number of people to enter Liaodong, Goguryeo, Fuyu, Yilou and other places to cultivate wasteland. Wherever the land is fertile, as long as they work hard, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

Due to the chaos in the mainland and the prestige of Liu Yu, a large number of Han people moved north to Youzhou from Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and other places. This time they were organized to enter the Northeast region. By then, the Northeast was built as a large granary. Not only The people will live and work in peace and contentment. Zheng Yu's new two countries, Wuhuan and Goguryeo, will make them rich in the world in a short time.

Liu Yu planned to inspect Goguryeo, Yuan Fuyu, Yilou and other places after the ceremony.

The grand ceremony was coming soon. But what Zheng Yu didn't expect was that Cao Cao rushed over with his entourage to attend. Zheng Yu invited the three brothers Liu Bei to go out of the city to greet him. Outside the city, he saw Cao Cao coming on horseback with hundreds of people and a few capable subordinates. When he saw Xiao Yun and Liu Bei coming out to greet them at the city gate, he quickly dismounted and said loudly: "How can I bear this responsibility? This makes Meng De ashamed."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands and walked quickly towards Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu thought that he was going to give him a bear hug as before. But this time, Cao Cao restrained himself a lot and just grabbed his hands. He looked excited. He seemed to be an old man. It was like meeting a friend again. He said in his mouth: "I want to kill Meng De. Xiao Yun has made great achievements for the Han Dynasty in the north. It really makes countless men in the Central Plains lose their reputation. It's too great. It's too great."

Zheng Yu just smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, welcome to Liucheng. Welcome." The two chatted for a while before Cao Cao turned around and greeted Liu Bei. But his enthusiasm was much different from Zheng Yu's. Thinking back to that time The three of them formed a coalition of Cao, Zheng and Liu to jointly defend against the enemy. Now they met in Wuhuan. The gap was so huge that it was disappointing.

After Cao Cao retreated from Hangu Pass, he returned to his hometown Chenliu to develop. Then he joined Sun Jian in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. They fought several battles with a lot of casualties and still failed to find a suitable territory. On the contrary, after Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, he also returned. As a county magistrate, I finally got a territory and some people, and started my business.

Cao Cao's starting point was much higher, but he has basically been standing still in the past year and a half.

Everyone returned to the city together. Zheng Yu arranged for both Cao and Liu to stay in the State Guesthouse. The State Guesthouse was quite luxurious now and they were comfortable to live in. Cao Cao and Liu Bei's entourage were arranged separately. That night, Zheng Yu had people prepare them. Food and drinks. Let's have a drink with Cao Liu again.

In an elegant room, the three of them drank to their heart's content. Even Liu Bei was uninhibited this time. His face was red after drinking. Cao Cao was the hero in the drink. When the cup was full, he drank it dry. It was extremely refreshing. Zheng Yu let go of his arms and drank with the two of them. A pleasure.

"I want to say that back then, I talked to Xuande about the heroes of the world, 'Wei Cao and Shi Jun'er'. Today I want to shame Mengde. There is only one hero in the world. Only Xiao Yun'er." Cao Cao drank a large bowl of wine. He uttered wild words again, but this time it was to Xiao Yun. He was obviously trying to flatter him.

Zheng Yu didn't take it seriously either. He knew that once Cao Cao got drunk, he would even reach for the stars and the moon.

"The only heroes in the world are Meng De and Xuande'er. Xiao Yun is just a junior. Fortunately, he is lucky." Zheng Yu also finished a bowl of wine and said with a red face.

"Xiao Yun's Liaodong Campaign was so shocking that it can be included in the famous battles of ancient and modern times." Liu Bei complimented him.

At this time, Zheng Yu was a little drunk. He held the seat with one hand and waved with the other hand. "The Battle of Liaodong is not mine. It was all Gongsundu, Wuhuan Allied Forces, Xianbei Allied Forces and Jinyang of Goguryeo." The king and others sent troops, and Xiao Yun just stood by and watched. In the end, he took some advantage. It doesn’t count. It doesn’t count.”

Cao Cao, however, had a solemn look on his face and praised: "Those who are good at fighting, attack the heart first, and defeat the enemy without fighting. Xiao Yun has truly understood the essence of "The Art of War" written by Sun Wu. This battle is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. .There is no doubt about it.”

The three of them chatted for a while. Then Liu Bei asked: "What will Duke Cao do in the future?"

Meng De replied: "Gongsun Zan has sent people to discuss with Meng De and decided to help him wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou and started to make trouble again. Cao was a Han official, but he helped Gongsun Zan to wipe out the rebels. Serve the country.”

Zheng Yu understood that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were different. Liu Bei sought refuge, but Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan had a cooperative relationship.

The three chatted for a while about the war between Yan, Xu, Jihe and several states. They sighed. Cao Cao said: "The world is in chaos. The Central Plains are devastated. But it is the two countries of Youzhou and Xiaoyun under the rule of Lord Liu. From now on. This is the paradise of kings. Many people have come to seek refuge with their families. In just a few years, all the princes in the world will be unable to fight against Xiao Yun. If Xiao Yun has ambitions for the world, Cao Cao will assist him."

Zheng Yu was startled by Cao Cao's words. He heard that this meant that Cao Cao was coming to seek refuge. But when he thought about it again, it was impossible. He couldn't be testing him. So he had to say: "The one who can win the world must be People who are favored by God should not be greedy for God's merits without great kindness. There is a day in heaven. Although it is covered with dust, the dust will eventually be swept away. Lord Liu Yu cannot do anything arrogant. Xiao Yun does not dare to be greedy at all. .As long as the Han court is around, Xiao Yun will never be a despicable person usurping the throne."

This is what Zheng Yu is saying in his heart. It is also his attitude. When he said this, he looked serious. Although he drank a lot of wine, he spoke the truth after drinking. "Xiao Yun is determined never to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. As a matter of fact, The great man guards the border. This is an oath. If you violate it, you will be punished by God."

His words were impassioned and touching. People of this era are particularly loyal to their oaths. Zheng Yu said this. It was definitely not a lie. This made both Cao and Liu extremely moved. Especially Liu Bei. He is a member of the Han Dynasty. . He was even moved to tears. He choked and said: "The great man has such a good minister as Xiao Yun. He will surely sweep away the dust in the sky. We will all assist him. There will be no second thoughts."

When Liu Bei said these words, he was really moved. But Zheng Yu still knew that this was just talk. Liu Bei has his own career and will surely have a brilliant future. This is what the history books say. Zheng Yu discovered. History The trajectory is still running firmly towards the original track. No major changes have occurred.

Cao Cao clapped his hands, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Xiao Yun is such a man."

"Okay, last glass of wine today. Xiao Yun wishes both my dear friends a prosperous career and a great career in troubled times. Just a reminder from Xiao Yun. Treat the people well. The rise and fall of a country. The prosperity of the people will be bitter. The death of the people will be bitter. We We have the responsibility to make the people suffer less and kill less people."

Zheng Yu stood tall, making both Cao and Liu admire him from the bottom of their hearts. Cao Cao said solemnly: "Meng De, remember this."

Liu Bei drank the wine in his glass. He lowered his head and said, "I had a chat with Xiao Yun today. I really benefited a lot. I learned a lot."

The banquet dispersed. Zheng Yu entered the palace with the help of Lei Bao. Then Song Ji and Su Wan came out to welcome him and helped him to take a bath in the harem.

Today, Song Ji and Su Wan personally went to the bathhouse to help him take a bath. Zheng Yu really drank too much wine. He lay in the water and leaned against the edge of the bathtub. He was still saying: "It's so nice. It's so nice."

Su Wan smiled and said: "Today I am having a drink with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Are they talking nonsense?"

Song Ji took a towel and wiped it for him. She smiled and said: "The world will be in chaos. There are so many people who have ambitions for the world. How many people can have the last laugh."

Zheng Yu told the two women about his drinking and chatting with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Although he was a little drunk, he basically explained clearly. He also told Cao Cao and Liu Bei about his attitude towards the Han Dynasty and the imperial court. Said it again.
