At the same time, Liu Bei in Jiaozhou was silent after seeing the manifesto, and secretly felt that the situation in the Central Plains was changing too quickly. In a blink of an eye, Pei Qing and Yuan Shao, the two most powerful princes in the world, would start a full war. No matter who wins or loses in the final result, it can be predicted that the trend of the Central Plains unification is not far away. Once the Central Plains are unified, Youzhou, Jingzhou, Xiliang, Xichuan and Jiangdong, etc. may not be able to hold on for too long. In this way, God has left him with few opportunities. Although he has barely unified the entire Jiaozhou, it is really poor. In addition, there is no support from powerful wise men around him, resulting in slow development of his strength. If he had not made friends with Liu Biao with his strong personality and supported Liu Zhang to inherit the position of Yizhou Governor after his father Liu Yan's death, even the current situation would have been difficult to achieve.

"Talent, what I need most now is talents. What is the battle for war? It is not only a competition of material and financial resources, but also a competition of talents. No matter who they are, they are all full of talents. But now, the military generals are just Guan, Zhang and Zhao, civil officials are just Sun Gan and Jian Yong, plus the Shi Xie family who conquered from Jiaozhou, and Yuan Hui, Cheng Bing, Xu Jing and Liu Ba who took refuge in Jiaozhou. Among them, only one of them Liu Ba has great talents. But I have visited several times, and he is unwilling to become an official. No, I must visit again in order to win Liu Ba's favor and further expand my strength. I must completely control the entire Jiaozhou before the war between Pei Qing and Yuan Shao ended." Liu Bei said silently with a strong desire in his eyes.

"Brother, do you believe these words in the manifesto?" Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei staring at the manifesto in a daze, and immediately said, "This is purely a slander against Mr. Pei. Others don't understand Mr. Pei. Do we still don't understand? When the heroes attacked Li Jue and Guo Si, we all worked together to fight, but Yuan Shao, the old boy, stayed in his own home to fight against Gongsun Zan, and later sneaked into our plains. People like him actually said that Mr. Pei was not loyal to the country, and he really had the face to say!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately scolded: "I'm talking nonsense again. Which one between Yuan Shao and Mr. Pei is loyal to the country and who is unfaithful? In fact, who doesn't know? This is just an excuse, but I'm very guilty now. Mr. Pei has done so much for the country and the country, and now he has already crossed Sili, Yuzhou and Nanyang in Jingzhou. But I have only achieved this little time now. How long has it been? Even a small Jiaozhou has not been able to handle. Third brother, I know that you have always admired gentlemen. You have to secretly search for talents. If it really doesn't work, we will also learn from Mr. Pei, publish a list of recruitment orders, recruit more talents, develop strength, and improve ourselves."

"Hehe, I can search for my brother, but if you publish a list of articles, I should go find someone else. Now I am most keen on practicing martial arts and drinking, especially the Snake Spear. I am studying it almost every day, becoming more and more innovative, and I am really less interested in dealing with words."

"You are pursuing courage now, and you don't care about anything for this. You must know that it's easy to break even if you're too tough." Liu Bei seemed to feel that this was ominous, so he hurriedly stopped and after a moment he spoke: "Don't just think about drinking in your spare time. Wouldn't it be nice to read more books?"

Zhang Fei retreated voluntarily. Although he agreed, he actually did not take it seriously. This made Liu Bei sigh. His third brother was brave and brave, but it was indeed a bit worrying to pursue strength.

However, shortly afterwards, Jian Yong hurried in and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, we have received another manifesto. This manifesto comes from Gong Pei. The drafter was Wang Can, a literati under Gong Pei. Even the format and tone of this manifesto are very similar to the one just now, but the content has completely changed. The whole article is accusing Yuan Shao."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Liu Bei took the manifesto handed over by Jian Yong and looked at it and said, "This Wang Can was indeed outstanding in talent. He actually wrote such a manifesto. Although it seemed to be a response to Yuan Shao, every sentence was accusing Yuan Shao. It was fine to be indifferent to the fact that he saw the emperor being wronged, because Yuan Shao could completely refute it for various reasons. However, among them, the main charge Pei Qing accused Yuan Shao was caught off guard, because it clearly pointed out in the manifesto that Yuan Shao actually sent a killer to assassinate the princess during the wedding. Although the princess was not the emperor, he was also a powerful figure in the record of the Shangshu incident at that time, and he was the only elder sister of the emperor. In this case, such behavior was more than just a crime. It was like rebellion."

"I have heard of this. When Mr. Pei and the princess got married, they encountered assassination. I really didn't expect that the truth of this incident was that Yuan Shao instructed someone to attack the princess. This fact is so shocking."

Liu Bei sighed softly with disbelief.

Liu Bei only knew that this was another battle manifesto that shocked the world. The influence of this manifesto would definitely exceed that of Chen Lin's article, just because Pei Qing clearly pointed out his evidence here, because Pei Qing arrested the assassin and was able to confess it from it, and Princess Pingyang personally testified in writing, which was equivalent to Yuan Shao's crime being directly confirmed.

Pei Qing used this as an excuse to declare war on Yuan Shao in full swing. His slogan of declaring war was so surprising, but this also further confirmed their conjecture. There was almost no suspense in this battle, and it would definitely be Pei Qing who won the final victory.

Of course, those who have this idea are those forces that are close to Pei Qing. For example, Yuan Shu doesn't think so. He believes that Pei Qing will definitely be seriously injured after this battle, so he is fully prepared to attack Pei Qing. As long as Pei Qing is defeated, he will immediately take advantage of the situation to rob Pei Qing and seize Pei Qing's land and population.

The reactions of the heroes were almost not beyond Pei Qing's expectations. After hearing the reactions of these people, Pei Qing did not care at all. He just praised Chen Lin's article for being well written. If Wang Can had not written another article in this format later, such literary talent would have been resounding enough throughout the world.

"It's just that with Zhong Xuan's manifesto, Chen Lin's article has become the background of our manifesto and has become a laughing stock in the world. Of course, this is not the fault of the article itself. Chen Lin's literary talent can still be appreciated. If we meet him in this battle, try to save his life."

"The lord has such a mind, which is rare in the world. I believe that if Chen Lin knew about this, she would be grateful to the lord." After hearing Pei Qing's words, the soldiers and the generals under her command all praised Pei Qing with sincerity, praising Pei Qing's broad mind and eagerness to seek talents, which was as generous as Jiang Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi who dominated the world.
