In this way, Military Advisor Meng Yi was neither good nor bad. Qiushou really had no choice but to sigh and say,"Sir, you have more courage than courage."
In fact, Qiushou was really prepared to trick Meng Yi. If Meng Yi did anything bad to Fat Pig Dong, he would immediately use this to threaten Meng Yi to let go of the 15 county magistrates of Wei County that he had just captured.
However, Military Advisor Meng Yi didn't fall for it. Even Ju Shou couldn't do anything about it. Although Fatty Dong couldn't be provoked, Han Fu was still someone that Military Advisor Meng Yi could provoke.
"Sir, you have the talent to govern the world, the strategy to support the universe, and your eyes are like torches. How can you not recognize the Lord?”
Ju Shou knew what Meng Yi meant, but he didn't answer. Instead, he took out a sheepskin letter from his sleeve.
"I won't hide it from you, sir. I know that Han Fu is not a wise ruler. Now that Yuan Benchu is the new governor of Bingzhou, he has sent a letter to recruit him. The Yuan family has four generations and three dukes. His name is famous in the world. This Yuan Benchu is the nephew of the Imperial Tutor Yuan Kui. He has always been respectful to the wise and corporal. He is a hero of the world.”
This time, Meng Yi was no longer calm. In his opinion, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Jizhou, he had to first obtain the support of the locals in Jizhou.
Although he didn't really care about the great clans, it would be good if he could save as much trouble as possible.
But he didn't expect Yuan Shao to actually come from thousands of miles away to poach people, this made Great Military Advisor Meng Yi furious.
However, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi knew that Qiushou probably hadn't made up his mind yet."Yuan Shao is good at scheming but not decisive. He is fierce but timid. He does great things but cherishes himself. He is greedy for profit and forgets righteousness. Anyone in the world can join Yuan Shao, but you can't.”
Qiushou was shocked when he heard this. Actually, Qiushou had collected a lot of information about Yuan Shao. It was somewhat similar to Meng Yi's, but his understanding was still limited.
"Why can't I join Yuan Shao?”Qiushou asked curiously.
"I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't tolerate Lord Qi Commandant's temper. If I'm not careful, I'm afraid I'll be killed."
This time, Meng Yi was speaking the truth, but in Qiushou's eyes, it had changed. Could it be that Liu Bei was the only wise ruler? However, Qushou knew his temper. Most people wouldn't listen to him. Originally, he was full of expectations for Yuan Shao, but now, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.
"Do you think Jizhou or Bingzhou is better, Commandant Qi?”
Meng Yi's question stunned Qiushou.
"Everyone in the world knows that Jizhou is rich. How can Bingzhou compare to Jizhou?”
"If he could become the governor of Jizhou, what would commandant Qi choose?”
Although Liu Bei was good at leading troops to war, he had no one to rely on inside or outside the court. His former teacher Lu Zhi was now in prison. Although his senior brother Gongsun Zan's strength was not bad, it was not time for him to influence the court's decision. Why would Meng Yi dare to boast?
However, according to Jushou's observations over the past few days, Liu Bei had the demeanor of a wise ruler. Since ancient times, it was easy to obtain talents, but it was hard to obtain a wise ruler. If Liu Bei could really rule Jizhou, he would not be inferior to Yuan Shao.
"Why do you say that, sir? Although Shou was stupid, he knew that the Provincial Governor was the disciple of Grand Tutor Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao was the nephew of Yuan Kui. The two of them had a close relationship. Perhaps County Governor Liu could compete with the Provincial Governor, but if Yuan Shao was included, he didn't know how County Governor Liu would face it.
"Don't you know that there's a natural moat between Jizhou and Bingzhou?" Meng Yi laughed.
"You're from Huguan?" Qiushou's expression changed drastically.”
"It's Huguan Pass." Meng Yi didn't want to hide it anymore. After all, if he wanted to recruit someone, he had to show enough strength, right?
"How is that possible? " Huguan Pass is a natural barrier, easy to defend and hard to attack…" Ju Shou continued to think, but he had already reacted. Ding Yuan had just died, and Bingzhou had no master. Yuan Shao had not yet arrived in Bingzhou. If someone really wanted to take Huguan Pass, it would not be difficult, but Liu Bei was still in Wei County. It seemed that his hand could not extend that far, right?
"Is that Zhang Yan your man?" Suddenly, Qushou asked in surprise.”
He then had a look of surprise on his face. Previously, Qushou had also suspected it, but he was not sure. Now, he finally understood why Liu Bei knew that Wei County was a trap, but he still dared to swagger in. It turned out that Zhang Yan and Liu Bei were in cahoots.
With the help of Zhang Yan's million Black Mountain Bandits, it was no wonder.
"Sir, you must be the mysterious military advisor that the Black Mountain Bandits mentioned, right?”Qiushou already knew what was going on, but he still wanted to prove it. Meng Yi did not deny it.
Qiushou looked at Meng Yi as if he was looking at a monster. This youth was so young, but he could play Han Fu in the palm of his hand and easily conquer a million Yellow Turban. His eyes were extremely vicious. With such a person assisting him, it seemed that it would be difficult for Liu Bei not to achieve hegemony.
Qiushou was currently wavering between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. As for Han Fu, Qiushou did not consider himself as one of his people at all.
"Commandant Qi, do you dare to make a bet with me?”
"What bet?" Qiushou asked subconsciously.
"Within a year, if I become the governor of Jizhou, I would like to ask Commandant Qi to lend me a hand. If I can't do it, I will follow Commandant Qi to assist Yuan Shao.”
In fact, Meng Yi was also giving Jiushou a way out. If he could become the Lord of Jizhou, he wouldn't feel wronged if he came to seek refuge. If he couldn't become the Lord of Jizhou, then he could pull Meng Yi to Bingzhou to seek refuge with Yuan Shao. He wouldn't lose out no matter if he won or lost. How could this old fox Jiushou miss such a good opportunity?
"Alright, I can still afford to wait. Let's see what methods Mister has."
"In that case, I'll take my leave. I hope that Commandant Qi won't go back on his word." Meng Yi left after saying that.
"Take care."
However, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi could no longer hear it.
"Men!" Qushou ordered.
"Sir, what are your orders?" a butler said.
"Tell Ju Gu to stop all actions against Liu Bei. Kill anyone who dares to act rashly."
After Advisor General Meng Yi returned, he discussed with Liu Bei and finally released all the county magistrates of the fifteen counties. They were demoted by one rank. This way, the entire Ye City was in a strange tacit understanding.
Qiushou was still his riding commandant, but he did not care about the affairs of Wei County.
However, Great Military Advisor Meng Yi discovered another problem. Moreover, it was a problem that Meng Yi himself had neglected. That was the talent at the grassroots level.
Currently, Liu Bei had Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Chun, Gao Shun, Meng Yi, Jian Yong, and Cui Yan under his command. They were all at the peak of their power. However, 15 County Magistrate positions had suddenly appeared. Meng Yi could not take care of them all at once. He was only concerned about these big fish. In this situation, Liu Bei was like a rootless duckweed.
At this moment, a new method that he had never dared to think of before appeared in the mind of Military Advisor Meng Yi.
