Three Kingdoms: I can summon famous generals from all worlds

Chapter 123 Liu Bei's Request

Cao Cao came in from the outside, greeted Liu Bian, and then got up.

"Your Highness, are you going to Youzhou?"

The news that Liu Bian was going to Youzhou would naturally not be hidden from Cao Cao, after all, it also involved the future planning of Yizhou.

"good."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "If you want to plan for Yizhou, the most important thing is not Han Fu, but Yuan Shao. This time I met Yuan Shao's deserter and the news that Feng Xiao said before, so I have to wonder what is going on between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Things, so this time, I simply took the initiative to go to Youzhou, and it happened that I had some friendship with Gongsun Zan before, so it is not difficult to go to him to find out some things."

Naturally, Liu Bian would not tell Cao Cao about opening his eyes, and there was no way to explain it, so he simply used this excuse that could barely be considered a reason at the moment.

"I see……"

Naturally, Cao Cao would not immediately object to Liu Bian's decision, but he was slightly puzzled and said:
"However, do you still need His Highness to go there in person? Youzhou is far away, and Gongsun Zan's wolf ambition is actually not much stronger than the Yuan brothers. Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, has outstanding abilities in governing the people, but he rarely has strong methods. He... ...I'm afraid Gongsun Zan won't be able to hold back. What should we do if something unexpected happens to His Majesty's golden body? In Cao's opinion, it's better to send more spies over there."

"I'm here, but it's not just for these."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, then shook his head lightly and said:
"Meng De, you also said that Liu Yu, Shepherd of Youzhou, has outstanding ability to govern the people. He is indeed a rare master. Youzhou was peaceful under his rule, and the most important thing is that he, as the leader of the Han clan, My dear, I am absolutely loyal to the Han family, and of course I have to meet this kind of talent."

"Your Highness said..."

Liu Bian didn't need to say a lot, Cao Cao could think of more.

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes slightly open, he looked at Liu Bian in surprise and said, "Your Highness wants Youzhou...into his command?"

Liu Bian smiled and nodded.

"Yes, based on Liu Yu's loyalty and ability to the Han Dynasty, I believe this is not difficult, and the Youzhou cavalry is strong. If you can bring the Youzhou Army under your command, our strength will also be greatly strengthened."

"So that's the case. With His Highness' status, I believe Youzhou Mu will not refuse."

Cao Cao thought for a while, then nodded.

On the contrary, Liu Bian slightly narrowed his eyes, looked at Cao Cao and said:
"Meng De is here, not just for this matter, right?"

Liu Bian didn't believe that with Cao Cao's head, he couldn't figure out his purpose of going to Youzhou in person.

Sure enough, Cao Cao blinked, then chuckled dryly and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Your Highness, Cao has indeed come here to do something else."

"Finish." Liu Bian smiled lightly.

Cao Cao said with a slightly thoughtful expression:
"Your Highness, this matter is not for Cao himself, but for Prince Jie and Liu Xuande."

Wang Kuang and Liu Bei?
Liu Bianlue raised his eyebrows in surprise. These two people have never had much contact with each other. How could Cao Cao mix them up?
Moreover, Liu Bian had always been wary of Liu Bei. As soon as Cao Cao mentioned his name, Liu Bian took it seriously.

"What about the two of them?"

Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao.

"Yes."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This matter is actually two things, but it can also be said to be one."

"Because the prefect of Hanoi County once sent a message to Cao, saying that during the autumn harvest season, food is often plundered by bandits or troops from other states and counties, and now almost all the troops in Hanoi County are in the hands of His Highness. He didn’t have enough troops there, so he found me, and hoped that I could send a soldier over there to help rectify law and order, and at the same time serve as a garrison in Hanoi County.”

"Secondly, Liu Xuande often came to me recently, saying that he wanted to lead his two brothers and the thousands of soldiers under him to go out of Luoyang to garrison a county town. Now there are many soldiers in Luoyang city, and he has been fine. I can do it, so I want to find something."

"Cao thought that Liu Xuande's ability was outstanding, and he was always benevolent. It would be overkill for him to guard a county town, so he wanted to recommend him to Hanoi County to help Wang Taishou solve the problem of law and order, and then let him stay in Hanoi County. , and play his role.”

Cao Cao said while observing Liu Bian's expression.

Liu Bian didn't like Liu Bei, and sometimes even deliberately suppressed him. This was something Cao Cao knew very well, but at the same time, it was also something Cao Cao couldn't understand.

So this time, although Cao Cao felt that both parties were just right, he couldn't figure out what Liu Bian was thinking.

Liu Bei...

Liu Bian silently said these two words in his heart, and then sighed lightly.

Liu Bei's real ambition has never been to help the Han Dynasty, he just wants to make contributions by himself.

Therefore, he will never be satisfied with the current situation in Luoyang City, but wants to leave the control of superiors like Cao Cao and go to a place where he can control himself.

Although Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, is capable, if Dai Min is definitely not as good as Liu Bei, he is probably no match for Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in running the army.

If Liu Bei is allowed to go to Hanoi County to guard Hanoi County with Wang Kuang, I am afraid that before too long, the people of Hanoi County will all turn to Liu Bei, especially in this situation where Wang Kuang has made some mistakes in governing the people before. .

If this is the case, I am afraid that Liu Bei is to Wang Kuang what Yuan Shao is to Han Fu.

Of course Liu Bian couldn't allow this kind of thing to happen, after all, Wang Kuang was his diehard loyalist.

But what Cao Cao said is also a very realistic situation. The banditry in Hanoi County must be solved. This cannot be solved by a temporary army, but a permanent army.

Liu Bian intends to let Huang Zhong or Zhao Yun lead troops there, but these two are the most trusted generals around Liu Bian. Liu Bian intends to let them take advantage of this short period of peace to strengthen the army and improve the strength of the army. After all, the batch of the best sword equipment was all equipped for their team.

Besides, there are still some bandits in Hanoi County, so why use a bull's knife to kill chickens?

And Cao Cao's cronies are performing city defense tasks, and Liu Bian will not exchange such important tasks with Liu Bei.

Similarly, the law and order in Luoyang City is now managed by Jiangdong sergeants, and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses are not many, and it is even more difficult to adjust them now.

Is there really no other way?

Liu Bian frowned, and then a thought crossed his mind.

After all, keeping Liu Bei trapped in Luoyang is not an option. Since he is going to Hanoi County, it doesn't matter if he goes. Wang Kuang is not the only one available to him.

While thinking, Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao and said:

"In that case, let Liu Bei go with his army. In addition, let Feng Xiao go with him, just to help the official. Here in Luoyang, you and Zhicai are here, as well as Wan'er, I am enough rest assured."

Let Guo Jia go there together. Liu Bian's purpose is obviously to let him cooperate with Wang Kuang to check and balance Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei's ability is good, but compared with Guo Jia in some things, he is far behind. Therefore, with Guo Jia around, Liu Bian is not afraid that he will cause any disturbances.
