Liu Bei didn't want them to continue to check and balance the Ancient Literature School, or rather they had been crippled and had only the ability to disgust people, not the ability to check and balance.
The debate between Jinwen and Guwen had already receded. After a series of changes after the Hedong crisis, most of the people in high-level positions held by the Jinwen school had lost their ability to further influence government affairs.
They are now like the ancient literature school that was dormant before. They have the channels and qualifications for education, and they are looking forward to the emergence of outstanding figures within the modern literature school to help them.
But they don't have time. Liu Bei doesn't get rid of them now because he wants to sell them at a better price.
"They are all insects. Wouldn't it be nice to let them bite dogs?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "But it may not be that easy. Once I win this time, the ancient literature school will definitely be furious, and the modern literature school will definitely be unable to resist. However, the elite families of the modern literature school often have relatively deep personal connections, and it will be very difficult to eradicate them all."
Invite people to hate.
I don’t want to get my hands dirty, and I don’t want to gather so much hatred on me alone. The ancient literature school has wanted to completely destroy the modern literature school for a long, long time. It’s better to fulfill their ideas and satisfy them. In this way, I
You can also get more benefits.”
After hearing this, Zhang Rang thought about it and was very emotional.
"People say you are good at fighting, but I think you are really good at court."
"The reason I fight so hard is to make others willing to sit quietly with me and reason with me."
Liu Bei raised his eyebrows: "If I am not good at fighting, how can anyone be willing to sit with me to discuss government issues? My family is not the fourth generation and the third prince. I don't need to fight to make people sit with me calmly.
Together."
"I see."
Zhang Rang expressed his understanding and said, "Then, you wish us success?"
"Definitely successful."
Liu Bei and Zhang Rang high-fived each other three times to strengthen their alliance.
After strengthening the alliance, Liu Bei is going to summon his hard-core subordinates to do something. He needs to share the latest intelligence to let his subordinates know what he is going to do and what kind of situation they will face.
Before a fierce battle, the internal thoughts must be unified. Of course, the people who followed him were somewhat mentally prepared and would not be too surprised.
This meeting was held in the military camp. The generals were headed by Zhang Fei, Dong Huang and others, and the senior staff officers were headed by Jia Xu, Cao Cao and others.
Liu Bei told them what happened during this period in detail, letting them know the ins and outs of the matter and what Liu Bei was going to accomplish.
Everyone was very shocked and surprised that Yuan Wei and He Jin intended to rebel.
"Do they really dare to rebel?"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei in shock: "With the Yuan family's current status, why would they want to rebel? If they didn't rebel, they would almost have very high power. What's the benefit of rebelling against them?"
Jia Xu sneered as if he had seen through everything.
"People are always greedy, especially the Yuan family. If they stop here, what else do they pursue? Once they have pursuit, it is not enough to be known as the best surname in the world. I'm afraid they don't want to replace the Liu surname and be the first.
Got it!"
Cao Cao looked bad, shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.
As a eunuch, he could not sympathize with Yuan's lofty pursuit.
Liu Bei looked at the expressions of his subordinates and slowly said: "The matter has come to this, we have no other choice. The other party has decided to take action, so we can only face the difficulty. This is not a must-win situation, but for us
In other words, there is no other choice but to win.
Gentlemen, this time, we have to fight for our lives again. If you are willing, then follow me to fight for your life. If you are not willing, you can go back to Liangzhou now. I will never force it. Life is precious to everyone.
Yes, if you cherish your life, I have no idea."
Just kidding, at this point, can everyone still back down?
Zhang Fei's face turned red and he was the first to stand up and express his opinion.
"I am willing to live and die together with you. If your army points to you, I will dare to charge into battle even if I am alone! Who is He Jin? I will not be afraid at all!"
Not to be outdone, Dong Huang followed suit and expressed his stance.
"Your Majesty has been kind to me, and I am willing to follow you, even if I die in battle, I will not hesitate!"
Xia Houyuan was the third to express his position.
"You only need to tell where they are, and I will lead troops to defeat them!"
Xu Huang quickly followed suit and expressed his stance.
"The kindness you show me is so profound that I cannot repay it in any way. I am willing to follow you and fight bloody battles for you to the end. Anyone who makes things difficult for you is my life-and-death enemy!"
Pound immediately followed suit.
"Without the prince, I would not be where I am today. The enemy of the prince is my enemy!"
The generals made statements one after another, from senior generals to mid-level officers, their statements were very consistent, showing Liu Bei's strong control over the army and the military's will.
They will continue to support Liu Bei and look forward to Liu Bei leading them to victory.
As for the family forces led by the senior staff officers, those who followed Liu Bei this time were all hardcore. Not only did they have interests, but they also had in-laws, and the relationship was already inseparable.
Even if there is no formal war, they are Liu Bei's die-hard supporters and it is impossible for them to switch factions, not to mention they don't want to switch factions.
So Cao Cao gave a clear statement.
"The matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say. If you have already made a decision, then it is the decision of Cao and I. No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand with you."
Gai Xun and Yan Wen had nothing to say. They both stated one after another that they would serve Liu Bei to the end, both for them and for Liu Bei.
Zhen Yan also has the same attitude. No matter what happens in the future or what kind of enemies he needs to face, Zhen Yan will always be Liu Bei's staunch supporter and will never abandon him.
They have a special kind of trust in Liu Bei, who has repeatedly achieved miraculous achievements. This kind of trust does not have any effect at ordinary times, but at critical moments, it may not work.
The next content of this meeting is to discuss some details, including the possibility that some people will be required to lead troops into Luoyang City to handle some very important things in the future, as well as their respective confidentiality obligations. Anyway, everyone has their own obligations.
task.
In this destined to be fierce confrontation, everyone must make a contribution, and only those who contribute can be qualified to share in the fruits of victory. They all understand this simple truth.
Therefore, they are all ready to fight for their lives.
After the meeting, Jia Xu approached Liu Bei.
"Junhou, you didn't call Xun Gongda at this meeting. Is it because Xun didn't make a clear statement before?"
Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu and nodded slowly.
"Wen He, now we must ensure that only people we trust can know about this matter, and we must trust it absolutely. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, what will happen? I believe you can see that this is not something that is unimaginable to you.
problem, right?"
Jia Xu nodded.
"Yes, once this matter is leaked and Yuan and He are prepared, we will be very passive unless we attack immediately and take action immediately. However, that is too abrupt and is not a good thing."
"So, only people I absolutely trust can attend this meeting, Gongda... he can't."
Liu Bei shook his head.
Jia Xu hesitated a little, thought about it, and decided to speak out.
"Your Majesty, if I am wrong, please don't blame me. When you made a big deal about taking concubines, were you already preparing for today? You need to choose someone who can truly be of the same mind as you and who will not betray you easily.
That’s why you take concubines with great fanfare, right?”
