Chapter 72, Fang Guang, a man with talent but no virtue!
Around Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was used to getting violent and hurting people, which is also recorded in history books.
Cao Cao's chariot and armor, Zhang Bao's general Gao Sheng, were all killed instantly by the third master.
Killing Zuo Rong now is even more murderous!
Zuo Rong fell off his horse and died. Zhang Fei looked around the Guangling generals and launched another sonic attack.
"Who else!"
The generals were all frightened, half of them dropped their weapons, and no one dared to look Zhang Yide in the eye.
Among the crowd, except Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, everyone in Xuzhou was also shocked.
Zhang Zhaoyin was hidden among the crowd. When he first saw this change, his heart skipped a beat. Then when he looked at Liu Bei, the expression on his face did not change. He suddenly felt admiration in his heart.
"Go and tell your lord, my eldest brother, who is the one who helps the emperor to do evil? Zuo Rong is greedy and cruel, and all the talented and virtuous people in the world will be punished!"
Guan Yu turned around and saw his third brother revolting. He was satisfied and gently brushed his beard with one hand. With a shake of the other hand, he had already let go of Liu Yao's general Fan Neng.
In the Yangzhou army, Liu Yao was more doubtful than General Zuo Rong.
He was about to ride forward to ask, but Liu Bei, with his bare hands, had already rode up to the front of the two armies.
"What happened today was a strange plan made by Mr. Tao Qian, the former governor of Xuzhou, before he died!"
"Zuo Rong plundered Xiapi, gained a small amount of people's wealth, and killed Xuzhou's talented people. How can I join in the slander? Bei has the academic lineage of his ancestors. He must not use swords against blood relatives and scholars in the world. In this section, Xuande will always be in my heart!"
"Liu Prefect, your reputation for benevolence and virtue is known all over the world. Xuande led the troops here. Although it was a temporary measure, it also offended Duke Zhengli!"
"Today in front of the battle, I will be punished by the public. I only hope that Xuzhou and Yangzhou will stop fighting forever, and the people here will live and work in peace and contentment from now on!",
When Liu Bei said this, his voice was a little more choked up.
Opposite Liu Yao, the weakest side in his heart was accurately hit by Liu Xuande!
When he heard Liu Bei talking about the clan, he already felt sad in his heart. Thinking that His Majesty was still in Guanzhong and in the hands of the Xiliang jackal, Liu Yao unconsciously had tears falling down his face.
Then Liu Bei looked at Liu Bei with a sincere face, riding forward alone, looking like he was just letting himself be dealt with. Liu Yao burst into tears, rode forward, and hugged Da Er right in front of the two armies.
After the Han Dynasty, the blood relatives of the clan turned the war into friendship, causing the soldiers of the two armies to involuntarily raise their weapons and shout the names of Liu Bei and Liu Yao.
"Mr. Xuande, Gong Zhengli!"
"Mr. Xuande, Gong Zhengli!"
As the soldiers of both armies shouted, many of them put down their swords, thinking that they might die here today.
Many soldiers looked at Liu Bei with grateful eyes, and the words "gongrende" flashed in their hearts.
I have to say that Liu Bei played this move very beautifully. First, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shocked the field with absolute force, and then Liu Xuande lowered his body very low!
Tight and loose, benevolent and righteous, for the sake of all people, regardless of power and status. This character is so vividly outlined that the famous scholar Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
While he was intoxicated, Zhang Zhao had been reading so much, and suddenly the scene of last night's banquet flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel an unknown chill in his heart.
"The three Xuande brothers are brave and brave. No one in the North County knows about them. Today, I, the villagers of Jiangdong, have opened their eyes!"
"Since Zuo Rong has been eliminated, I will naturally not attack Guangling again. There are several jars of Jiangdong's fine wine here. I wonder if Mr. Xuande dares to drink it!"
In the scholar clan, as the governor of Xiayi, he dared to confront Liu Yao, the son of a regular servant, and his character was known to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard that the authentic royal family members were invited.
"My Xuzhou dried meat is famous all over the world. There are some in the army. I wonder if I dare to eat it as a courtesy?"
"Ha ha!"
When the two heard what the other said, they laughed loudly together.
The two rode together and headed towards the small courtyard in the mountain not far away.
In the courtyard, the three Liu Bei brothers, together with the Xuzhou generals, Guangling scholars, and the Yangzhou army, ate meat, drank wine, and turned enemies into friends. It seemed as if they had known each other for a long time.
With his ears warm from the wine, Liu Bei stood up and looked south towards Yangzhou, with a look of compassion on his face.
"Zhengli, Zuo Rong used clever tricks to plunder. Not only the people of Xuzhou suffered a lot, but also the people of Yangzhou were plundered a lot by him, and the southern merchants were even more exploited by him!"
"I think that when I return to Guangling City this time, I will count out the ill-gotten wealth. In addition to distributing it to the people of Xuzhou, even in Yangzhou, I should also give twenty-three tenths of it as a public gift. The public gift can be sent to the army. Let’s do this together with the Chinese officers of our army!”
Among the princes in the world, when it comes to spoils of war, the cronies of the tribe always take the big part, while the local scholars and nobles take the small part!
What Liu Bei meant today was that he would not take any of his ill-gotten wealth and give it all to the people. Liu Yao, a good man with a straight heart, was moved in his heart.
"Xuande, what you said is a slap in my face. I can't ask for this money. Xuzhou has just suffered a military disaster. It's time to use money. You are so caring for the people. How can I do anything to distribute profits?"
Liu Yao waved his hands repeatedly. He said this: Liu Bei is righteous, and he must be righteous even more.
"This is a formal gift. I force it on you, but you will definitely not accept it. So, let's give it 20%. Don't be anxious about the public gift. The 20% and 10% are considered as my purchases of Yangzhou wheat and rice!"
"To be fair, there was a big disaster in Xuzhou this year, and Cao Cao's thieves plundered it terribly. The people are hungry and cold!"
"The remaining 10% will be used by me to support the generals under Gong Li's command. When the southern army comes from the north, you will suffer along the way!"
While Liu Bei was talking, he poured a glass of wine for Fan Neng, who was on the side. He then raised his glass first and drank the turbid wine in his hand.
Fan Neng made a big mistake in front of the two armies today. Although the conflict turned into friendship, there was still a knot in his heart.
Liu Bei's glass of wine made Fan Neng blush, and the knot in his heart turned into respect for the big-eared man in front of him.
When Liu Yao saw this, he also accompanied Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drank two cups.
He made up his mind that Liu Xuande was a kind man and would receive 20% of Zuo Rong's wealth. No, he would also give additional wheat and rice to Xuzhou.
Honest people cannot suffer!
The north relies on Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao's cruelty!
"Xuande, originally during the Battle of Huai River, I heard that someone in Cao's camp used Yanzhou Fang Guang's words to humiliate Xuande!"
"This man is known as Qilin among the people because of the incident in Yanzhou. When I saw the envoy's grace today, I realized that Fang Guang might be worried about the dangers of mountains and rivers!"
Speaking of Fang Guang, Liu Bei's city defense was almost instantly broken.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
"Seriously, Fang Guang turns out to be a counselor under my command. I think he is very talented. He has been promoted from a yellow scarf captain to a first-class military advisor!"
"But I didn't expect that he would conspire with the Yellow Turbans, murder the plainsmen, exploit the people of a county, and even try to kill me!"
"This man was born in the Yellow Turban. He is eloquent and has the wisdom of Guan Zhong. However, he has no moral integrity. In the plains, he forced the women of the people to enter the government and have fun!"
"From eighty to eight years old, I don't know how many women's reputations have been broken!"
"Now that Cao Cao is here, these two people are in perfect harmony."
In Fang Guang's absence, Liu Xuande's dirty water was poured out violently, and the Jiangdong scholars were horrified.
