Chapter 173 Guo Jia: What is the meaning of the emperor this time?
Xun Mansion, Guo Jia and Xun Yu were drinking together again.
As the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Xie eased significantly, the relationship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia became better and better, especially recently, after Guo Jia gradually regarded himself as a Han minister, and called Cao Cao instead of lords but instead called Ming Gong, the two became close friends again.
Xun Yu has been called Cao Cao Minggong until now.
(The lord is the title of the lord of the prefecture minister. Only the important minister of the founding government can be the lord. For example, after Liu Bei was the left general, he should have the lord. Logically speaking, Zhao Yun should have called Liu Bei the lord. Because Guan Yu was the lord of Han Shouting, he should not be called the lord, but should be called Ming Gong)
"Fengxiao came to the door in person, but because of Lu Bu's incident? You should understand the various inside stories more clearly than me."
"Inside the story, I did get one step faster than you. They fought, but to put it bluntly, it was because of Chen Deng."
As he said that, Guo Jia simply described it to Xun Yu.
Lu Bu was sent to Xuzhou this time just to kill Chen Deng. Everyone knew this, so Liu Bei naturally would not stop him from summoning his old subordinates. However, after he summoned Hou Cheng, Cao Xing and other old subordinates who were busy farming in Xuzhou, Chen Deng was already mutiny and killed by his subordinates before he could really start fighting.
However, since the army has been summoned, it must be bloody. It is difficult for the soldiers to go home without grabbing some spoils and go home.
So it was considered to be the morale of the army, so Lu Bu led his troops into Guangling County and then cleared Chen Deng's remnants.
However, because it was a peaceful incorporation, the lower-level soldiers and middle-level officials of Guangling County cooperated with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu did not have the opportunity to start a massacre. He had some seizures of money and food, so he asked Zhao Yun to take Jiujiang there, and Lu Bu did not dare to compete with Zhao Yun.
However, it was also at this time that the imperial edicts from the court came, and the people began to become extreme due to the abdication storm. Chen Deng's father Chen Gui hurriedly joined Yuan Shao with some Chen clan members and some family property.
Now, Lu Bu found an opportunity.
You should know that the person Lu Bu hated the most was neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei. He must have won his trust but betrayed him and personally acted as the pioneer of Cao's army!
So Lu Bu led his troops to Xiapi Kingdom, hoping to kill the entire Chen family, and directly announced that he would take out the Chen family's land for the soldiers to farm.
Of course, Liu Bei quit. He believed that the emperor was only those unfaithful famous scholars. To put it bluntly, they were party members. These people united to monopolize the career of officialdom against the monarchy. This is a killing, but no matter what, the attack cannot be expanded to the entire gentry group. Party members and gentry must be distinguished.
The Chen family of Xia Pi is also a top-notch family. Chen Deng's grandfather Chen Qiu was once a hero and a wise minister in the Han Dynasty. Even if Chen Deng and Chen Gui and his son were both traitors, for Chen Qiu's sake, they were just forfeiting some of the land that did not match their titles, so there was no need to kill them.
Let’s talk about it truthfully, he and Chen Deng have a good relationship.
When Lu Bu saw Liu Bei stopping him, he refused to give him face. He publicly stated that the reason why this traitor Chen Gui successfully fled to Yuan Shao with some of his tribe and family property was because Liu Bei was in favoritism and abused the law, selling favors to the Chen family and even Yuan Shao, paving the way for himself.
Then he refused to obey Liu Bei's orders, stubbornly slaughtered all the male members of Chen Deng's family, distributed all the Chen family's property to the soldiers, and used the Chen family's land to absorb refugees from Guangling County to farm.
This made Liu Bei angry. You said I was favoritism and abolishing the public? I also said that you were using personal revenge. I was the one who was in charge of justice. Xuzhou Jieshou!
So Liu Bei directly raised an army to attack Lu Bu, and the two armies set off and directly launched a confrontation.
However, both sides are Han troops, and the fight will definitely lose the power of the court. Especially as the court was about to fight a big battle with Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun, who was very wise in the righteousness, suddenly exploded Lu Bu's butt from behind, and used his imperial guards to directly take the enemy formation, and entered the central army and tied up Lu Bu.
This is not to say that Zhao Yun is more powerful than Lu Bu in wars. The key is that no matter Lu Bu or his generals, no one wants to be a rebel. Zhao Yun's subordinates are all imperial guards. Lu Bu's troops dare not even fight back, so he let Zhao Yun kill the central army.
Then, that's it now.
To put it bluntly, there is a deep blood hatred between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. There is an emperor in Xuzhou. The two of them can cooperate well with each other, but they don’t have the emperor to suppress them. If they have a complicated relationship with them, they will be able to see a ghost if they don’t fight.
"Fengxiao thought, did Uncle Liu really intend to indulge Chen Gui to surrender to Yuan?"
"No one knows this kind of thing except himself. This is also true for Lu Bu to slaughter Chen's family and grab land and grain. No one except himself knows that this is a public heart or a full of personal grudges."
Xun Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I really can't explain this clearly. What is Fengxiao going to do?"
"Since I can't explain it clearly, I'll just say it. Uncle Liu is the emperor's envoy to uphold justice, and his political status is far from comparable to Lu Bu's surrendered general. Since Lu Bu has the courage to fight against the emperor, he deserves to be tied up. Besides, Uncle Liu has a reputation in the court, and Lu Bu is almost everywhere in the court. Can I still be biased towards Lu Bu if I don't look up to the emperor? To be honest, Wen Ruo, I can handle this measure well, but what I can't figure out is why the emperor asked me to deal with this matter?"
Xun Yu nodded clearly when he heard this and said, "I'm really concerned about this issue. The emperor's move seems to have other profound meanings."
"Yes, I originally wanted to be the magistrate of County Xu, but he let Guo Fu do it. I can barely understand this. After all, he was also a relative of the foreigners. Everyone knows that Guo Guiren was favored in the palace. Besides... it was my distant relative. I asked me to help him. Ordinary small cases were handed over to him for trial. I was responsible for major cases and let him actually be my deputy. This arrangement is reasonable, but... County Magistrate Xu would not care about Xuzhou anyway!"
"If Fengxiao really doesn't understand this, I can give you a suggestion and ask Guanglu Xunqing. Among the civil and military officials in the court, he was the first to serve the emperor, and he was the most accurate in his thoughts. In terms of closeness and alienation, no one in the court can compare with him. The scars of all sizes on his body are all military merits for the emperor."
"Oh? Wen Ruo and Zhong Ji are really in a false way and really collaborative relationship."
Xun Yu smiled, which is the default.
There is no need to hide it from a smart person like Guo Jia, and he cannot hide it from it, let alone the head of the school affairs office.
"Oh, I've assassinated him after all, and my relationship with him is not easy to make up for."
