Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Liu Bei not only untied Wenpin himself, but also ordered Wenpin to be given a seat and drank a glass of wine for him himself.

He looked at the fine wine brought to him and looked at the gentle-looking"Jingzhou Shepherd" in front of him.

Wenpin was at a loss.

The two brothers of the Cai family have much higher official positions than his Wenpin.

The Cai clan is also far more powerful than the Wen clan.

But Liu Xuande treated one of the Cai brothers to death and imprisoned the other, treating them as if they were careless.

On the contrary, he treats a military commander from a small clan like himself, so polite and virtuous a corporal?

Accustomed to Liu Biao's employer only focusing on family background, Wenpin was a little confused by the approachable style of the grassroots prince in front of him.

Wenpin didn't take the glass of wine.

Liu Bei handed the wine glass into his hand, looked directly at Wenpin, and held his hand in a serious tone:

"Bei Zao heard Ziyu's military advisor mention that Zhongye, you have unparalleled martial arts and extraordinary general talents, and you are the number one general in Jingzhou."

"I am lucky enough to meet Zhongye now"

"I would like to ask Zhongye to come under my command and help me, Liu Bei, eliminate the thieves and rebuild the Han Dynasty!"

Old Liu didn't give too much foreshadowing, and threw out the olive branch straightforwardly.

Wenpin was shocked and suddenly realized.

No wonder Liu Bei was so courteous to him. It turned out that he wanted to recruit and surrender to him.

Frankly speaking, Liu Bei treated him so well. This courtesy and sincere solicitation indeed made him shake.

But it was only a little shaken. He was not someone who would abandon his old master just because of a few words.

Take a deep breath. With a tone, Wenpin cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you to Mr. Liu for thinking highly of me, Wenpin. I am flattered and honored to be hired."

"It's just that I am hired as a minister of Jingshengzhou Mu, and the salary of the food owner should be regarded as the Lord's death festival!"

"Liu Shijun has a lot of thoughts, but I can't accept it."

As expected, he refused.

Liu Bei was not angry. On the contrary, there was a look of admiration on his face. He just admired him, but he didn't know what to do next, so he had to turn his head and look at Deng Mu.

"General Wen, if I remember correctly, you were guarding Nanyang as General Pi long before Liu Biao took over as Zhou Mu."

"Liu Biao has been in charge of Jingzhou for about five years. Why is your official position still that of General Pi?"

Deng Mu stood up and walked slowly to Wenpin.

These words hit the painful spot in Wenpin's heart accurately.

He frowned, raised his head and looked at the young scribe in front of him, and asked:

"Who is this person who seems to know Wen very well?"

"This is Deng Mu."

Deng Mu slightly cupped his hands and gave his name.

"Deng Mu?"

Wenpin's face suddenly changed and he asked in surprise:

"Could it be that you are the descendant of the Xinye Deng family, Deng Mu and Deng Ziyu?"

Deng Mu smiled faintly and took it as acquiescence.

Wenpin was shocked and asked again anxiously:

"The fake way to destroy Guo and attack Wancheng, the strategy of attacking the heart to defeat Zhangxiu, and even the burning of Bowang slope to defeat our 40,000-strong army, were all your work?"

Deng Mu had nothing to hide, so he nodded slightly and admitted his conjecture.

Wenpin took a breath and looked up and down at the young and handsome scribe in front of him again.

The information was indeed correct.

Liu Bei really got a mysterious person.

He didn't expect it. Yes, this strange man is so young?

And this strange man is actually a new savage!

"I'm ashamed. I've been guarding Xinye for many years, but I didn't know that there was such a cunning genius hiding under my nose.……"

After Wenpin sighed secretly, he looked at Deng Mu with puzzled eyes:

"Deng Ziyu, you are my surname from Jingzhou, and Duke Jing Sheng is your and my master."

"Why do you want to collude with outsiders to invade Jingzhou and seize the inheritance of Jingsheng Gong?"

There was obviously a questioning meaning in his words.

"Wen Zhongye, you are wrong"

"Jingzhou is our Han Dynasty’s Jingzhou, not Liu Biao’s private property. What is his inheritance?"

Deng Mu corrected him with a serious expression.

Wenpin was speechless.

"Since Liu Biao took charge of Jingzhou, he has always favored the Cai and Kuai tribes. All important positions in the prefectures and counties were divided between the two tribes."

"Like Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, they still have some strategic talents."

"Cai Zhong, Cai He and his ilk are all mediocre, incompetent, shameless and incompetent villains!"

"Such people, just because they are descendants of the Cai family, are all highly valued by Liu Biao. They all hold important positions and control the military and political power of Jingzhou!"

"Like Wen Zhongye, veteran generals in Jingzhou like you are not allowed to be promoted, and you have to watch these idiots riding on your head and arrogantly"

"Clan such as Huo, Ma, Pan, etc., although they are the prestige of a county, and there are many heroes with real talents and learning in the clan, they are all suppressed by the Cai and Kuai clans and cannot be reused, and they cannot use their talents to their best advantage."

"Even these people are not allowed to be reused, let alone me, Deng Mu, a poor scholar."

"In the eyes of Liu Biao, I am nothing more than a piece of grass."

"The sage once said: If you treat the people like grass and grass, then the people will treat you as enemies and bandits."

"Shouldn't I go far away and choose another wise master?"

Deng Mu's voice was stern, exposing all Liu Biao's foolishness.

Wen Ping was speechless.

The questioning and reproachful look on his face gradually disappeared and turned into silence.

There was even a touch of empathy.

Deng Mu's words hit home every time. His lung tubes made him feel sad for a while

"Wen Zhongye"

"You are not a foolish and loyal person. Let me ask you, do you really intend to save someone like Liu Biao?"

Deng Mu asked sternly.

Wenpin's figure suddenly shook, as if he had been woken up by a slap in the face.

"What you said is certainly reasonable."

"Just turning your back on your master and surrendering to the enemy will eventually lead to infamy."

"And my family members are all in Xiang——"

When Wenpin's words came to his lips, he suddenly realized something and quickly swallowed it back.

Taking a deep breath, he let out a long sigh:

"In short, I, Wenpin, feel very honored by Liu Shijun's kind words, but please forgive me for not pretending to be my master!"

Wenpin refused again.

But this time he was no longer as determined as before. Instead, he showed a kind of insincere helplessness. Naturally,

Deng Mu could hear the difficulties behind his words.

As he expected, Wenpin's real concern was, It is about the safety of his family.

After all, unlike every lord, not as generous as Lao Liu. For example, when Huang Quan surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, Lao Liu not only did not pursue the crime of his family, but also continued to appoint his son as an official.

He Wenpin If he dares to betray, Liu Biao may not be able to get angry and kill his entire family.

"In this case, my lord, please send Wen Zhongye to rest first."

"Later, he will change his mind."

Deng Mu then turned around and proposed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei obeyed Deng Mu's words. Although he didn't know what he meant, he still did it.

Wenpin was escorted out of the tent silently.

"Ziyu, I think Wenpin wants to surrender, but he seems to be afraid that his family will be offended by Liu Biao. What should we do?"

Liu Bei's ability to recognize people is not just boasting. How could he not see Wenpin's intentions?

But Deng Mu smiled:"My lord, don't be anxious. To persuade Wenpin to surrender, you have to rely on Liu Biao's envoy Kuaibao. Lord, tell him come in."

Relying on Liu Biao's messenger?

Liu Bei looked suspicious and confused again.
