Regarding this matter, Liu Bei did not answer immediately, but thought seriously for a while.
At this stage, is it necessary to wipe out all the Jinwen family in Luoyang?
Liu Bei thought of the Yang family, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu.
No, they still have uses, they still have great uses, and their residual value has not yet been extracted completely, so they cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop.
So he shook his head.
"Some things don't need to be done so absolutely, at least not at this stage. This time's action is enough to target the Yuan family and the He family. There is no need to make the whole world an enemy. Facing too many enemies at once, against
There is no benefit to us."
Dong Zhong was incompetent, and since Liu Bei didn't need it, forget it.
Zhang Rang glanced at Liu Bei with some confusion.
What does he want to do by keeping the Jinwen school?
Zhang Rang didn't know, but he had no time to speculate on so many things right now.
He is very nervous now because no one else knows that he has a very important responsibility.
After the meeting, Liu Bei had a conversation with Zhang Rang alone, and Zhang Rang told Liu Bei all the real situation.
It's not like he doesn't know Yuan Wei's plan of action at all.
He knew more comprehensively. According to the report of the hidden Dongyuan spy, the reason why Yuan Wei stayed in Luoyang City for several days was to plan an assassination operation against Liu Bei.
According to what Zhang Rang found out, Yuan Wei had basically given up competing with Liu Bei at all levels because he was convinced that he could not defeat Liu Bei in an honest and fair manner.
Even with the participation of Bingzhou soldiers, Yuan Wei and his think tanks came to the conclusion after brainstorming that as long as Liu Bei was still in command, it would be difficult for them to achieve military victory.
All the military power and military talents that Yuan and He Jin currently have are unable to defeat Liu Bei from the front. Liu Bei's military capabilities make them very afraid.
To win this victory at the top of Luoyang, they must ensure that Liu Bei cannot command the battle.
How to ensure this?
Simple and crude actions will do.
assassination.
This is the ancient wisdom from our ancestors, and this is the ultimate solution that ancient wisdom brings them to solve their problems.
Assassination, as long as the assassination is completed and Liu Bei is allowed to die, everything will be over.
If a person is killed, he will die. No matter how hard Liu Bei fights, he is still a human being. If he is struck with a sword, he will die. As long as he dies, the alliance between Yuan and He Jin will be sure to win.
Except for Liu Bei, they had no one to fear.
"Yuan Wei hopes that I can take action and mobilize the Dongyuan spies to assassinate you while you are in Luoyang City or the palace, and then promised that after success, he will make me the Marquis of Wanhu, and also allow me to choose his own heir to inherit my title.
"
Liu Bei smiled.
"Do you think he really means it?"
Zhang Rang shook his head.
"I think he wants to kill me."
Liu Bei nodded.
"I think he must have other plans. In fact, I don't think he will completely trust you. Of course, I don't think Yuan Wei thinks you and I will stand together. He just instinctively feels that you are unreliable.
, so he must have other means."
Zhang Rang suddenly turned dark.
"Can this old guy let me kill him with my own hands?"
"You want to kill him?"
"Letting the person he despises, distrusts and hates the most kill him should make him suffer twice as much pain before he dies, right?"
Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "I want him to taste the strongest despair and pain in the world before he dies, and then die. Otherwise, it will not be enough to calm my resentment towards him for so many years."
"I don't have any problem, but you have to be completely sure."
Liu Bei shrugged and said indifferently: "I just want him to die. As for how he dies, I don't care. You can make your own decision. As long as you think it's okay, then that's okay."
"That's ok."
Zhang Rang sneered and said: "I will let him know that the Dongyuan Secret Agent I have been running for so many years is not just for show. I have already thought of nine ways to kill him. Well, in a few days, I should be able to think of more
There are more than a dozen kinds of it, I hope he won’t die so quickly, I have to enjoy it to the fullest.”
Liu Bei made no comment on this behavior.
There was one thing that interested him.
Zhang Rang told him that the spies he sent had discovered interesting news. Two people from the Yuan family strongly requested to participate in the assassination of Liu Bei, and even personally led a team to assassinate Liu Bei, but Yuan Wei rejected it.
One is Yuan Shao, and the other is Sun Jian.
These two people had a strong hatred for Liu Bei and asked to personally participate in the assassination of Liu Bei. They hoped that Liu Bei could be killed, otherwise it would not be enough to calm their inner resentment towards Liu Bei.
But this request was rejected by Yuan Wei on the grounds that they needed to do more important things, such as leading troops to attack Liu Bei's army, rather than doing things like exchanging lives for lives.
"What did you do to make Yuan Shao and that Sun Jian hate you so much? I remember that you and Yuan Shao had a good relationship in the early years. When you dealt with me, didn't you use Yuan Shao's banner?"
Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei with interest.
Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.
"Perhaps it is the change brought about by time. Time has changed too many things. I have never had a hostile conflict with Yuan Shao. I even wrote to him a year or two ago and told him some things I was doing.
What I experienced in Liangzhou and so on.
In the beginning, he would also reply to my letters, but gradually, he stopped replying to me. If he didn't reply to me, I couldn't write to him, so the contact was lost and the relationship faded. But I
I didn't expect that he wanted to kill me so much, I'm so sad."
"Are you really sad?"
Zhang Rang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I can't tell, I always think you are very excited. Speaking of which, do you plan to kill all these old friends of yours?"
"If they are really unlucky, then kill them. If they are lucky and escape, it doesn't matter."
Liu Bei said with a smile: "If some of them escape, they will definitely try their best to raise the rebel flag and attack Luoyang, and some people will definitely follow them to rebel.
If the Yuan family can still follow these guys to counterattack Luoyang under the premise of rebellion, then it can be proved that they are all real rebels. If such rebels can be caught in one fell swoop, it is better than delaying it for a long time, right?"
Zhang Rang was speechless.
"That is to say, you have never lost a battle. But if you have lost a battle, I will advise you to be careful and not be so confident. Even if you are a soldier like Han Xin, I feel that you will not be as confident as you."
"It also depends on the opponent. Han Xin's opponent is Xiang Yu. I will be cautious when facing an enemy like that. But what about my opponent now? They are just a bunch of insects."
Liu Bei waved his hand: "In short, Yuan Wei will be left to you to deal with, and the enemies in Luoyang City will also be left to you and Dong Chong. I will do my best to deal with He Jin and his army outside Luoyang City.
Let us divide the work and cooperate. Once the operation begins, we will strive to resolve the alliance between the Yuan family and the He family within one day, catching everyone off guard, and ending the operation before everyone can react."
"good."
Zhang Rang clenched his fists: "It's like a dream to me to be able to solve all these things in one day, just one day. If this happens, I will have no worries anymore!
After that, I can really relax and feel life... As for you, what do those people from the Modern Literature School want to do? Could it be that you want to continue to use them to check and balance the Ancient Literature School?"
