However, the Jiangxia incident is of great importance and extraordinary.
The Huang family in Jiangxia was even more terrifying than the Cai family in Xiangyang. Liu Bei did not dare to act rashly, so he temporarily stayed put on Old Man Lu's request for help and waited until Chen Yuan came back to discuss it.
Chen Yuan returned to Xiangyang amidst great expectations.
Originally, Liu Bei said that he would go out of the city to welcome him, but Chen Yuan refused. However, thinking that he had brought so many top talents this time, Liu Bei went out of the city to welcome him, which showed his courtesy and virtuous corporal. It was not a loss at all.
Liu Bei originally had the idea of welcoming Chen Yuan. When Chen Yuan told the identity and strength of the person he brought this time, Liu Bei's liver trembled.
Come directly to a suburb to welcome Shili.
And he also brought all the Jingzhou officials in Xiangyang with him.
This wave of Jiaoying is a direct win.
Because after Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, most of them were local talents in Jingzhou.
These people are born to form a party.
This is actually not conducive to Liu Bei's control of Jingzhou.
This is also the reason why Chen Yuan later recruited talents from other places. Not only because these people were outstanding in strength, but more importantly, they could not let a certain group of people under Liu Bei become too strong, which would be detrimental to the stability of the Liu Bei Group.
The triangle is the most stable, so it is best to have three forces to restrain each other, and then have a coordinator so that the restraint of the three forces can maximize the combined force instead of internal friction.
In this way, this is a more united and progressive group.
Before Chen Yuan took over this time, Liu Bei had already established several forces under his command.
Jingzhou School, Yingchuan School, Hebei School and Academic School.
The Jingzhou faction is the strongest, with Huang Zhong as the military general and the Kuai brothers as the civil servants.
The Yingchuan sect is not strong because it came late and basically goes to the academy. It is hard to say that it is powerful.
The academic sect is headed by Gu Yong, because he is a disciple of Cai Yong, so the students brought by Cai Yong are basically headed by Gu Yong.
The Hebei faction is actually Liu Bei's old team, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and Zhang Shiping.
The number is small, but the strength is not weak.
Of course, this is only a rough classification. In fact, there is me among you, and you among me.
The most typical one is Chen Yuan.
This guy is both a Hebei sect and an academic sect, and most of the Jingzhou sect and Yingchuan sect were recommended by him. Therefore, Chen Yuan can be said to be the mediator of many forces under Liu Bei's command.
Therefore, the future prime minister must be Chen Yuan.
This is not a question of whether he is willing or not, but a question of necessity.
Of course, Chen Yuan is not aware of this problem now.
He was only focused on helping Liu Bei grow his power in order to seize the world as soon as possible and realize some of his own ideas.
Chen Yuan doesn't care that much whether he becomes prime minister or not.
Therefore, Liu Bei's wave of welcome from the countryside not only shocked the Jingzhou faction, but also made people like Lu Bu feel that Liu Bei valued them.
In particular, Liu Bei's charm value is almost full, and with the blessing of Jingzhou Mu, even Lu Bu, a man who is the most arrogant in the world, feels that Liu Bei is very good and a person worth serving.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that Liu Bei appointed him the title of Captain of the Xiaoqi.
You know, Lu Bu is a white man now, but Xiaolian has been promoted. No matter how you say it, Lujiazhuang still has some strength in Wuyuan County.
Of course, maybe Lu Bu would be happier if he was granted the title of Captain of Piao Yao.
But Liu Bei definitely would not block it.
Because the two words "Piao Yao" and "Yao" are already exclusive to that young military god, no one can bear these two words.
Even Lu Bu thought Liu Bei was very good, and naturally others would have no objections.
Liu Bei did not neglect anyone and made everyone feel that Liu Bei valued them.
This is Liu Bei's ability to absorb rain and dew evenly without making people feel perfunctory.
Chen Yuan doesn't have this ability and is destined not to become the lord.
In short, the people brought by Chen Yuan this time, in addition to Tian Feng and Jushou, Xiang Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all experts in commanding cavalry.
The 6,000 horses pitted from Xianbei and the Yellow Turbans arriving one after another from Daxing Mountain can form 3,000 cavalry.
Of course, the commander of these three thousand cavalry is naturally Zhao Yun.
Just kidding, Lu Bu is very strong and the best cavalry commander in the world.
But this guy has a character problem. As the first organized cavalry under Liu Bei, he must be led by someone he can trust.
Zhao Yun is the perfect choice.
Lu Bu would not be dissatisfied if Zhao Yun was appointed as the commander of the cavalry.
Yan Liang had no objection, after all, Zhao Yun was his uncle's apprentice.
Yan Liang had no objection, and Wen Chou naturally had no objection either.
As for Zhang Liao and Zhang He, both of them admired Zhao Yun very much.
Therefore, no matter what aspects are considered, Zhao Yun is the best candidate to commander the cavalry.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can actually command cavalry.
But in the future, Guan Yu will not only command the elite troops, but also the infantry, cavalry and even the navy. Guan Yu will also command.
Don't brag or be slanderous, Guan Yu is really a handsome guy.
Although he has character flaws, Guan Yu's military talents cannot be ignored.
The main thing is that he is very good at learning and growing continuously.
The same goes for Zhang Fei. Although his character is flawed, Zhang Fei's military ability cannot be hacked.
Both infantry and cavalry can be commanded.
After arranging these military generals, Liu Bei had Jushou and Tian Feng to take charge of them, and he stayed with him to listen to them.
Both of them are extremely talented. They were released to serve as governors and their talents were reduced. Only by staying with Liu Bei as military advisors can they maximize their talents.
The main reason is that these two have obvious character flaws and are too upright.
It is easy to offend people if you let them go or work in specific departments.
There is no need to be afraid if you stay with Liu Bei. The greatest advantage of Liu Bei is that he can tolerate others and embrace all rivers.
As he said himself: Cao Cao is harsh, so I am tolerant; Cao Cao is cruel, so I am kind; Cao Cao is treacherous, so I am loyal.
Although this statement is very utilitarian, it also reveals Liu Bei's own character.
After arranging the group of people who brought Chen Yuan back, Liu Bei asked Chen Yuan to go home and rest for a few days, and then discuss important matters.
Chen Yuan was indeed tired and was about to leave without any excuse.
But as soon as he reached the door, Liu Bei suddenly called out to Chen Yuan.
"Fourth brother, there is something I didn't want to tell you at first, but after thinking about it I think I shouldn't hide it from you."
Chen Yuan's face was full of doubts.
What is it, so serious?
The Cai family rebelled?
Is the Jingzhou pastoral officer gone?
Or is it that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died?
Liu Bei thought about it for a while and then said: "The Chen family from Yingchuan is here."
When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately frowned.
