Chapter 405 Two years later

Zhang Fei immediately glanced at the survey without any worries, but he still shouted, "Let's go, see your lord first, I'll treat you to drink and eat meat later!"

What Zhang Fei likes most is to investigate a talented and generous guy like this. Besides, if he loses, he will lose. That is why he is not as good as others. No wonder he has lost less under Huang Zhong over the years? Will he still hold a grudge against Huang Zhong?

"Okay! I've been fighting for so long and I'm hungry!" Jianzhan shouted excitedly. Everyone was sweating in a cold sweat. Not long ago, Jianzhan had only eaten 150 kilograms of beef sauce. It's only been so much time, and I'm hungry again.

"Lord!" Kanzha and Zhang Fei shouted at the same time.

Liu Yao looked at the survey, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Investigation, you should follow me in the future! As for the residence, you can live with Yide." Anyway, these two guys looked like they had a close eye, so they could just let them get together.

"Okay!" Kanzha Hanhan smiled. He also felt that Zhang Fei was very suitable for his taste, especially since he still owed him so many roasted pigs, and he had meat to eat with him.

"Okay, let's let this loud voice live in my house." Zhang Fei agreed without hesitation. But the next moment, his face changed and he said a little embarrassedly, "But lord, let's agree first. You still have to support this loud voice. I, Old Zhang, can't afford to support him with such a big appetite."

"Haha, this is fine, but Yide, I think you'd better go back and change your clothes first!" Liu Yao looked at Zhang Fei's embarrassed look, his face full of tragic abuse.

Zhang Fei's old face turned red. He looked at his bare feet and his body covered in dust, like a groundhog. He left the stands like a rush, which caused everyone to laugh.

"It's getting late, so let's announce the official end of the imperial examination." Liu Yao said with a smile. This time, the imperial examination was very perfect, both the process and the result, and Liu Yao was also very satisfied.

"No!" Ju Su bowed, then strode forward, just a summary statement. For a person like Ju Su, it was really too easy.

However, the next second, Liu Yao's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly darkened. He glanced at Li Yan beside him and asked seriously, "Li Yan, do you have anything to say to me now."

Li Yan's original depression disappeared in an instant, and he said respectfully to Liu Yao, "Thank you for your advice. The general has already understood. Although I lost to General Huang, I should not be depressed. Instead, I should work harder to hone my martial arts."

He saw that Zhou Tai and Zhang Fei were defeated before, but he didn't care at all, and he felt a little ashamed. If he couldn't even bear such a blow, what else would he talk about in the future?

Liu Yao nodded secretly and continued to ask "There is still there!" Li Yan only said one thing. But there was still the most important thing that was not aware of.

Li Yan's face changed and his heart became tight. For a moment, he really couldn't think of something wrong with him, and the cold sweat flowed unconsciously. But the next moment, he turned his head and saw the passionate Zhou Tai and Taishi Ci who were talking, and instantly had some clarity. He recalled Zhang Fei and Jian Zhan, and felt more certain in his heart.

Even a famous general like Taishi Ci and Zhang Fei can be united with the new generals. He is an unknown person, so he has the right to be arrogant. Such an ethics cannot be integrated into Liu Yao's command.

"Lord, I understand." Li Yan said firmly.

"You can teach me!" Liu Yao naturally saw Li Yan's eyes and nodded with satisfaction. A person who would destroy his harmony, even if he was talented, Liu Yao would definitely abandon it.

Just as Liu Yao was talking to Li Yan, Ju Su also officially announced that the first imperial examination in Youzhou had officially ended. In total, more than a hundred people were attracted by Liu Yao and stayed, which could completely make up for the gap left when those corrupt officials were removed.

As for the idea that Liu Yao wanted to have fun with the survey, as soon as Liu Yao proposed it, he was directly destroyed by everyone. Just kidding, after seeing the huge destructive power of survey, how could they allow Liu Yao to take action with him? The survey would not hold back. If Liu Yao was injured, the matter would be a big deal. Unfortunately, Liu Yao could only give up this idea due to the power of everyone.

This is how the imperial examination ended, but his influence is far from that. With the success of the first session, I believe that the scale of the imperial examination in the future will be larger and will also attract more talents.

At the same time, this trend of imperial examinations quickly reached the ears of other princes. Except for Cao Cao, who looked like I knew it, everyone else was full of anger and envy.

Is Liu Yao clearly arguing with them for talents, and they are still robbing them openly. But they all have no choice but to use Liu Yao's method, and no one else can do it. I can only say that this resentment is buried in my heart. I no longer think about these things, secretly accumulate strength, and prepare for the future war. This is the kingly way.

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and soon two years pass by, and now it is May 22, 193 AD.

The entire Han Dynasty was very calm on the surface, and there was no big war movement. Even if there was, it was just that the princes themselves quelled the civil strife, and there was no duel between the princes.

Of course, besides one person, Yuan Shu had already started to attack Yangzhou when Liu Yao held the imperial examination a few years ago. However, I have to say that Yuan Shu is really a fool. He has nearly 200,000 troops, but it took more than a year to attack the Yangzhou governor who had less than 100,000 people. He only occupied half of Yangzhou. There was another half of Yangzhou, which was naturally the territory of Jiangdong in history. But unfortunately, Sun Ce was still under Yuan Shu's command, so naturally he could not take Jiangdong. Therefore, Jiangdong is still in the hands of a group of thieves led by Yan Baihu.

However, in recent years, something has happened that is big or small, at least Liu Yao cares very much about it.

That was a year ago, Kong Rong finally took action against Liu Bei. Although Kong Rong usually looks like a good man, he is really cruel and he should not be humble.

A year ago, Kong Rong's body had been completely maintained and he began to slowly regain control of the military power of the Beihai. With Kong Rong's prestige and just a few words, the military power of the entire Beihai was regained in his own hands.

After Liu Bei was unable to access military power, Kong Rong began to slowly reduce Liu Bei's rights in Beihai according to Liu Yao's intention. Although he is still the chief clerk of Beihai, it is obvious that if Kong Rong does not give him any work, he will be an empty shell.

On the other hand, he also sent someone to spread the news that Liu Bei poisoned and assassinated him slowly. For a moment, Liu Bei's entire reputation in Beihai became bad. Kong Rong stood up at this time and defended Liu Bei himself. But he said it was clever. On the one hand, he said that Liu Bei was a good official, working diligently for Beihai, and only praised his efforts in work. But did he say that Liu Bei poisoned and did not exist? Therefore, Liu Bei's character still needs to be verified. On the one hand, this can stabilize Liu Bei, and at the same time, he can also let Liu Bei's notoriety be buried in the hearts of the people of Beihai first.

How could Liu Bei not know that Kong Rong was going to attack him? But he had no choice. Kong Rong's movements were so fast that he didn't react at all. The military power he had originally controlled was gone. Without military power, he was nothing, so he could only watch Kong Rong constantly suppressing him.

However, the only thing that made Liu Bei happy and Kong Rong depressed, or that was alone, was naturally Guan Yu.

Originally, Kong Rong spread the news of poisoning according to Liu Yao's intention, and the main purpose was to provoke the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei. But he was helpless, both Liu Yao and Kong Rong underestimated his loyalty to Liu Bei. Guan Yu turned a deaf ear to those news, and he only needed Liu Bei's words to trust Liu Bei unconditionally.

But this is a small flaw. It is a plan without any harm. Finally, three months ago, Kong Rong arranged everything and directly used Chen Qiang and Wu Anguo as generals to send 20,000 troops to kill Liu Bei and remove a major cancer in the North Sea. He actually sent 20,000 troops to deal with a small Liu Bei, which shows his determination to Kong Rong.

As for Wu'anguo, he was lucky. In history, when he was in Hulao Pass, he was cut off by Lu Bu and eventually could not do anything for his generals. But now because Guan Yu was under Kong Rong's command, Wu'anguo did not go to Hulao Pass, but was left in the Beihai, which was preserved. Speaking of which, Guan Yu was considered his benefactor in a sense, but now he wanted to kill Guan Yu, which is really interesting.

But it is obvious that Kong Rong still underestimated Liu Bei too much. In history, Liu Bei had an extremely keen sense of crisis, otherwise he would not have been able to escape repeatedly.

As early as Kong Rong took action against him and reduced his strength, he had expected this day early. But he had no choice but to either resist or leave in that situation.

Resisting himself without soldiers and power is purely seeking death. Leaving Beihai is a good choice, but it is obvious that Kong Rong is clearly going to die. If he leaves, he will give Kong Rong a better chance to destroy himself in secret. In desperation, he can only watch Kong Rong's actions step by step.
