"Cao A'ao has always won over the world's scholars with the word meritocracy. Now it seems that this eunuch has not cared about talent and virtue at all!"
"The Lord is like this, so naturally the counselors under his command are also like this! Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are just people who stop promiscuous behavior?"
"If Guo Jianeng governs a county and does not pick up relics, Fang Guang can ensure that there is no shortage of grain in Yanzhou, but if his personal ethics are lacking, he will not be considered a famous person after all!"
Liu Yao had a pure nature and had a very good impression of Liu Bei. He did not doubt the words of the big-eared man in front of him at all.
"That's right. Fang Guangruo just has bad personal ethics. If he is with me and I teach him slowly, I may not be able to make him correct. It's just that this son has a strange origin!"
"oh?"
"When this son was with me, he never mentioned his family and parents. I asked him several times to bring his relatives and live in the plains. This son also cares about others and has no care for his relatives. No matter how talented he is, what use do I, Liu Xuande, have for him?
!”
People in the Eastern Han Dynasty attached great importance to the word filial piety, and filial piety was higher than integrity.
Liu Bei was scolded by Cao Cao in Huaibei. When he went back to think about Fang Guang's shortcomings, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have no worries in the world.
He was in Pingyuan, but he casually asked about Fang Guang's family, and now he expressed great concern.
It is really hard to argue with this fact that the Yellow Turban Colonel has a natural weakness as a man, a family, and his hometown.
"This son! I think he was separated from his family after he reached great heights. He was afraid that people would remember his origins as the Yellow Turban. I heard that foxes and wolves do not even eat their children. How can Fang Datong talk about unicorns? They are not as good as jackals and tigers!"
When Liu Yao said this, he waved his hand in disgust at Liu Bei in front of him, indicating that he should never mention Fang Guang again.
"Xuande, now that Xu and Yang are on good terms, only Yuan Shu is still doing evil in the land of Huaisi. Since your Majesty has accepted the seal of Governor Tao Qian, why don't you announce it to the world and show it to Beihai and Qingzhou counties at that time?
Help each other?"
After Liu Bei heard Liu Yao's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He came from Beihai, became the governor of Xuzhou, and planned to kill Tao Qian himself. Naturally, he had some obstacles in his heart and just wanted to accept the seal in a low profile.
Besides, when I first arrived in Xuzhou that day, I was defeated by Cao Jun and ignored Kong Rong and everyone else. Now I have picked the biggest fruit by myself. If I invite Kong Rong again, I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by the noble people in the world.
Of course, this matter was also heard by Big Er, and it became a problem for the people of Xuzhou who were hungry and cold, and he could not bear to spend a lot of money on good governance.
"Xuande, otherwise, if the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly! The imperial decree has not yet arrived in Xuzhou. If you don't make a move, how will the young emperor know that there are heroes in my Liu family clan?"
"This matter needs to be done in a big way! There is nothing wrong with using some of your new wealth to deal with this matter!"
"I have my own letters from Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Kong Rong to make you thin-faced. I still have some thin-faced ones!"
Liu Yao and Liu Beiye were different in that they were the descendants of the Three Dukes, and their clans were distinguished and had great reputation.
Liu Bei was on the rise in his career, and he was eager to break into the world's elite circles. It was naturally best to have Liu Yao as the leader.
There is no Fang Guang in history. It was not until Liu Bei won the victory at Chibi and held half of Jingzhou that he came into the eyes of the world. At this time, due to historical deviations, Da'er's road became wider!
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Zhengli! I wish I had enough energy to enter Guanzhong and recapture the young emperor from the hands of the Xiliang tigers and wolves!"
"I am a great man, and my country will live forever!"
With tears in Liu Bei's eyes, he diverted the matter from Xuzhou, causing Liu Yao to also shed tears in Guangling.
The governor of Xuzhou and the shepherd of Yangzhou were both descendants of the same clan, and they felt that they were very close to each other. They drank and discussed politics in Guangling, and traveled across the mountains and rivers for three days before parting in tears.
While the two were lingering in Guangling, Liu Bei ordered Mi Zhu to clean up Zuo Rong's family property in Guangling.
Everyone in the Mi family in the East China Sea is very familiar with the art of wealth. Mi Zhu is shrewd and adds five fractions from Wei Xiaobao's later generation, using the method of saving the bulk and withdrawing the fractions.
Even so, if Zuo Rong's family wealth was only two cents given to Liu Yao, there would be tens of thousands of bolts of silk and thousands of taels of gold and silver. Except for the shortage of wheat and beans, Zuo Rong's family wealth would far exceed the inventory of Xuzhou County.
Liu Yao admired Liu Bei even more when he saw that Liu Bei would practice what he said. Before leaving, he had already made up his mind to devote all his efforts to Yangzhou to help his fellow clan member Liu Xuande to secure Xuzhou.
Naturally, Liu Bei didn't know that when he and Liu Yao were in Guangling, an imposing man with a broad forehead and a solemn face walked into Yuan Shu's military tent in Huainan, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
Three days later, after Sun Jian, Fang Guang and Sun Ce took three thousand soldiers from Yuan Shu's tent and went south to Danyang to find the elite Danyang soldiers under Sun Jian's command who had been entrusted to the hands of his uncle Sun Ben.
A few months later, the power in Sun Ce's hands completely swept through the nine counties of Jiangdong. The historical trajectory that Fang Guang had changed was, to a certain extent, forcibly reversed by Sun Ce.
Liu Bei and Liu Yao parted in tears. Zhang Zhao, a famous scholar from Jiangdong who was detained by Zuo Rong, also found a reason to decline Liu Bei's offer to stay and followed Liu Yao south to Yangzhou.
When this outstanding talent from Jiangdong left Liu Bei, he felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart, as if he had escaped from the mouth of a great beast.
Fang Guang naturally didn't know about the Xuzhou and Yangzhou changes. He received Cao Cao's order on the Juye battlefield that day, led his army to pursue Lu Bu's defeated army, and then headed southwest.
There were many forks on the road from Juye to Puyang. Most of Cao's army chose the straight road, and their horses galloped, and they could chase hundreds of miles day and night.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the troops to go first, while Tai Shici was injured and was recuperating in Juye. Fang Guang was surrounded by only Benbu Buqu.
This group was all Fang Guang's colleagues in the Yellow Turbans. At this time, there were not many left, and everyone was used to traveling quickly in the mountains and fields, with wolves scurrying along the trails.
Fang Guang simply avoided the main road and led the army through the mountains, seeing less of Lu Bu's troops retreating along the way.
Everyone around Fang Guang knows that Xiao Xiaowei is now in a meteoric rise. They also know that if he captures a lot of surrendered soldiers this time, Cao Cao will naturally give him a generous reward.
Everyone was very anxious when they saw that Fang Guang had not harvested anything. Only Fang Guang himself did not take him seriously.
Sima from Yanzhou's other department, like a hunter in the mountains, searched for clues on the mountain trails.
One day ago, the seal of a carriage wheel was finally found in the mountains more than fifty miles west of Puyang. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
In the wilderness, farmers and woodcutters would not have carriages available. Nine out of ten people using carriages here are the family members of nobles from Bingzhou.
It was noon that day, and although winter was approaching, the autumn sun in the mountains still shone directly on everyone's hearts.
Fang Guang took dozens of songs with him. Fang Guang asked most of them to rest by the mountain spring. He took the two of them and followed the wheel marks along the road. When they arrived at a valley, he suddenly heard the sinister and lewd laughter of several men coming from the valley. .
