Han Fu was the governor of a province. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty after the Yellow Turban, there were a few provinces among the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty that could be used to dominate the world. Jizhou was undoubtedly one of the outstanding ones. Whether it was military forces, money, food, or land distribution, it was one of the best. As the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu was basically an emperor in this chaotic world.
However, everything in the world had two sides to it. Heaven had given Han Fu unparalleled innate resources, but it had also made him short-sighted. Originally, Han Fu could have been the governor of a province with his ability, but times had changed. Han Fu felt the pressure. Facing Liu Bei's questioning, Han Fu, the great scholar of the world, was furious. He did not care about his image and stomped his feet as he cursed,"Liu Bei, you shameless big-eared thief. You were exterminating thieves for the country, and you colluded with Guan Chun, that traitor, to cheat me of my troops, money, and food. Now you want to plot against my Jizhou, and you dare to claim to be a relative of the Han clan.”
Liu Bei listened to Han Fu's scolding, but his face was expressionless, as if these things had nothing to do with him. He slowly raised his head and looked at Han Fu's angry face. He asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,"May I ask, Provincial Governor, do you have any evidence?
"Evidence? You still want evidence? After Guan Chun went to the plains, they lost contact with him. You exterminate thieves for the country, but you wait and do not move, wasting money and food. Can you still hide this from the world? Han Fu's face was red and her neck was thick. She gritted her teeth.
Liu Bei was unmoved. He asked,""This General Guan Chun is Daren's subordinate. He has followed Daren for many years, but we have lost contact for a moment. I, Liu Bei, have never met General Guan before. How can I collude with him?”
The moment Liu Bei said this, the officials of Jizhou looked at each other, feeling uneasy.
They also knew that Liu Bei and Guan Chun had never met before. Han Fu was the governor of a province, but because he had lost contact with his subordinates, he suspected that they were following him. Everyone in Jizhou knew that Guan Chun was Han Fu's loyal follower.
Now that they had fallen into such a state, everyone couldn't help but shiver. Even Guan Chun, who was so loyal to him, had fallen into such a state, let alone themselves.
Han Fu was speechless for a moment. At this time, Xun Chen, who was behind Han Fu, stepped forward and said to Liu Bei,""Liu Bei, the Provincial Governor is asking you why you have taken the money and food but are still unwilling to send troops?”
"So it's Lord Xun. Liu Bei greets you." Liu Bei bowed respectfully and then asked," How long will it take for Lord Xun to travel back and forth from Beiping?
Xun Chen's heart skipped a beat. He realized that things were not going well. It had only been ten days since Liu Bei had borrowed troops. It would take ten days to travel from Beiping to Pingyuan.
Liu Bei had just returned.
Xun Chen stuttered and did not say anything, but Liu Bei obviously would not let go of this opportunity and continued,""It takes more than ten days to go back and forth from Pingyuan to Beiping. Liu Bei had just returned from Beiping the day before yesterday. He did not even rest his troops. When he heard that Jizhou was in trouble, he rushed over without stopping.
Liu Bei's eyes reddened as he pointed at the corpses of the cavalrymen on the ground."These soldiers are all Lord Gongsun Zan's subordinates. They have been fighting against the foreign tribes for the Great Han Dynasty for decades in the Northern Frontier. Each of them is an unyielding hero. In the end, they didn't die at the hands of the foreign tribes, but at the hands of you, Lord Han.”
" Liu Bei-you-" Han Fu was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Because Han Fu never expected things to develop to this extent. Liu Bei had completely pushed him to the opposite side of Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan had always coveted Jizhou, and he had a strong army. Even the Hu people, who were known as the Horse Race, had been killed by Gongsun Zan. Han Fu had always been careful to maintain his relationship with Gongsun Zan, but he also knew that Gongsun Zan had coveted Jizhou for a long time. It was just that he had no reason to send troops. Now, Liu Bei had given Gongsun Zan a reason to attack Jizhou. Once Gongsun Zan knew about this, he would probably send troops to attack him the next day.
Liu Bei, Han Fu, Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zan had turned the already chaotic Jizhou into a mess. Originally, Han Fu could have dominated Jizhou, but now it was in danger. He could not understand why Liu Bei had borrowed so many soldiers and horses from him to suppress the thieves.
Guan Chun looked at Liu Bei's back and revealed a determined expression. He then rode his horse forward and cupped his fists at the city gate tower."Everyone knows what's right and wrong today. I, Guan Chun, have followed Han Fu for many years and have been loyal. Even if I don't have any contributions, I have worked hard. Guan Chun has a clear conscience. Today, I will sever my ties with my colleagues.
Guan Chun cut off a part of his robe with his long saber and rode off without waiting for Liu Bei's orders. His heart was filled with despair. Looking at Guan Chun's back, Liu Bei knew that his mission for the day was completed, and a huge stone in his heart was lifted.
"Lord Xun, Liu Bei's injustice today will be repaid one day.
Liu Bei then laid down in front of the corpses of the cavalrymen and began to cry. The three thousand soldiers he had borrowed from Gongsun Zan and Guan Chun's ten thousand soldiers were both moved.
In this chaotic world, human lives were like weeds. No matter how elite the soldiers were, they were just a bunch of numbers in the eyes of their lord. No one had ever cared about their life or death, let alone cry for themselves. Even the soldiers of Jizhou on the city wall could not help but sigh.
Xun Chen looked at Liu Bei, who was wailing, and then at Han Fu, who had fainted from anger. He sighed in his heart and said,""Liu Bei is the hero of the world!
"Back to the plains."
Liu Bei's crying voice was like a heavy hammer striking on everyone's hearts. The soldiers slowly retreated in an orderly manner, not like a mixed army from three factions, but more like a whole.
Xun Chen was shocked when he saw this scene. Last time, he was shocked by Liu Bei's methods, but this time, he was shocked by Liu Bei's ability to command troops.
" Xun Chen, it's all your good idea." Han Fu had already woken up and looked at Xun Chen like a beast.
Xun Chen's heart turned cold. This time, he was too careless. It seemed that every step he took was within the calculations of others. What about the bandits of the Black Mountain? Could it be another trump card of Liu Bei? Thinking of this, Xun Chen suddenly shivered.
"Milord, quickly let General Ju Yi lead the army to the north. I'm afraid that this time, a great disaster will befall us."
"Humph!" Han Fu flicked her sleeves and left. Before she left, her eyes swept over Xun Chen with disdain.
"Jizhou is finished." Xun Chen sat on the ground and panted heavily.
Han Fu of the Provincial Governor's Office was alone in the study. His eyes were lifeless, like a statue. The night wind blew, and his black hair was mixed with a few silver strands, swaying in the wind.
Clenching his hands tightly together, he recalled everything that had happened in the past ten days. The scenes replayed in Han Fu's mind.
Meng Yi and Han Fu muttered these words in their hearts.
"Men, investigate the background of Meng Yi from the plains.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Han Fu fell into silence again like an old monk. This time, he was considering Xun Chen's suggestion to let Ju Yi go to the north first. This way, he could indeed protect Anping, but Ye City would be in danger. Although Anping was the administration of Jizhou, Ye City was indeed the most prosperous city in Jizhou. It looked like an imperial capital. In fact, Han Fu had long wanted to set up his administration in Ye City, but Ye City was in the southwest corner of Jizhou, which was not conducive to the core rule of Jizhou. Moreover, it was too close to Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Bandits, so the Jizhou Prefecture had always been located in Anping Country.
Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Zhang Yan, and the people of Jizhou were going to be plunged into misery.
People were forced to a certain extent to stimulate their endless potential. Han Fu was undoubtedly forced to this extent. His sculpture-like body finally moved. He picked up a pen and wrote quickly. In a short while, a letter was ready.
"Men!"
"Milord!"
"Pass this letter to Grand Tutor Yuan Kui."
" Yes." Seeing the guard leave with the letter, he felt much more at ease. Yuan Kui was the Imperial Tutor of the current dynasty and also Han Fu's teacher. The Yuan family had four generations and three dukes. There were many old officials in the family, and Han Fu was one of these 'old officials'.
Han Fu had another commander's seal in his hand. At this time, he couldn't care less. He still let Ju Yi go north first to guard Anping Country.
Undoubtedly, Han Fu was forced to the limit and had made the right choice. However, he did not know that Luoyang had already begun to change. Even Yuan Kui, the current Imperial Tutor, had to behave himself.
