Yuzhou is farther north than Jingzhou, so the autumn colors in Anyang are much stronger than those in Xinyang, Dengxian and even Xiangyang.

Autumn has already climbed the branches, spurred down the dead branches of a mountain, and also spurred the maple leaves of a tree.

The wool-like white clouds flowed in the air, the sun sprinkled warmly on the top of the mountain, and the maple leaves trembled and jumped into the air under the caress of the breeze, falling down in a fluttering manner, laying a red carpet on Bailong Mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the entire mountain range is fiery red and extremely beautiful.

It's autumn season again!

Wang Li was standing on the top of the mountain at the moment, accompanied by not only Jia Xu, but also Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, who had just returned from Jingzhou.

"Zhongda, this time in Xiangyang City, you also met that Uncle Liu Huang, who is known for his virtue, benevolence and righteousness, how is it, how do you feel about him?" Picking up a maple leaf from the ground, Wang Li took a look at the meridians on the back of the leaf, and raised his head to look at Sima Yi.

"Not good!"

"Not how? That Uncle Liu Huang raised troops in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and successively experienced the Eighteen Princes' Fight for Dong, Jizhou Battle, Ping Yuan Shu, Dou Cao Cao and Yuzhou Bloody Battle, and made a great name in this troubled era, how did it seem to become worthless to you? ”

"Yi is not saying that Liu Xuande is not worth mentioning, but I feel that Liu Xuande is not as famous as meeting him, and it is actually difficult to live up to his fame." Sima Yi shook his head and smiled faintly, "When I was listening to Mr. in the mountains before, I often heard his name.

Whenever my classmates mentioned this person, they always yearned for it, and for several years, Yi's ears almost became calloused. Yi was still thinking at the time that such a character must be a sunny man with a splendid chest, even if it is described as rich and elegant, it may not be an exaggeration. ”

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his squinted eyes suddenly opened: "But Liu Xuande's performance greatly exceeded your surprise?" ”

"As Mr. Wenhe said, Liu Xuande is indeed very different from his impression!"

Sima Yi nodded, this time Xiangyang's hurried party turned around in his mind like a marquee, thought for a while and then said: "Liu Xuande, who I heard my classmates mention, should be extremely elegant, and his whole body exudes the smell of light.

But this time, Xiangyang City didn't know, but I found that this person has the means and mind, can endure the unbearable of ordinary people, and can pretend to be a turtle grandson in person, but secretly stabbed you behind his back, obviously a typical villain, where can I find half a sunny demeanor? ”

Zhao Yun laughed, pointed at Sima Yi and smiled: "Isn't this the case? Scheming, scheming. Zhongda, could it be that you really think he is some kind of son of sunshine? ”

Jia Xu frowned slightly, shook his head at Zhao Yun, as if something in his heart flashed away, but he couldn't grasp it: "No, Zilong, Liu Xuande in Zhongda's mouth is also very different from Liu Xuande in my impression." ”

If you think about it carefully, although you and I have never been accustomed to that Liu Xuande, he still has to maintain his superficial skills after all, and present his benevolent and gentlemanly side to the world. However, has Zhong Da ever mentioned Liu Xuande's gentlemanly side today? ”

Zhao Yun also fell into silence, but Wang Li smiled slightly, got up and walked over to the three of them: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, it is not surprising that Liu Xuande has changed today, the three of them still don't drill the horns of the bull!" ”

"Is the intention of the lord that Liu Xuande must have changed this way?" Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head.

Wang Li bowed his head and looked at the mountains in the distance, but there was a bitterness that could not be dissolved: "Wang once heard a sage say: If you fight with an evil dragon for too long, you will become an evil dragon; Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will stare back.

When Liu Xuande first started, although he had some ambitions, but at that time, the world was just in turmoil, and Sheji was still in the hands of the first emperor, so his ideal should still be to be able to become a figure like Huo Hussar and Dou Champion, guard the country for the Son of Heaven, and return to his hometown in brocade clothes.

It's a pity that the first emperor died, Dong Zhuo usurped the throne, and the world was torn apart, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were all caught in the flames of war. Just imagine, Liu Xuande has long had great ambitions, how could he give up such a good opportunity and watch it slip away by his side? ”

Jia Xu sighed: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." Ask yourself, if Jia is like Liu Xuande, he has been determined to the world since he was a child, but I am afraid that his heart is also full of unwillingness! ”

Wang Li nodded and continued: "That's right, after so many ups and downs, witnessing the decline of the Han Dynasty and the rise of Dong Zhuo, Liu Xuande's ambition is as lush and lush as spring grass in the field, even a raging fire can't burn it.

As the saying goes: people live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. It can be humbled as dust, and not twisted as maggots. For a person who has a heart for the world, ordinary, mediocre and humble are precisely his worst enemies.

Liu Xuande was born humble but pretended to be a hero, so he naturally didn't want to live this life in mediocrity, nor did he want to choose to be humble as dust, so he could only keep twisting and distorting like maggots.

Therefore, under our suppression, the sunshine in his heart will be replaced by the haze, and his still somewhat gentlemanly appearance can only hide in the abyss. And if you want to see his light and elegant side again, I'm afraid there is no chance. ”

Jia Xu stroked his long beard, and suddenly sneered, and his face was re-engraved with the mark unique to the old fox.

"My lord, we received news from Jingzhou Ditingtang today, Liu Biao may send Liu Pan to take over the land of Caiyang, and Liu Xuande's troops will be compressed to a county in Deng County, Liu Xuande and they should not have received the news at this time.

Lord, his subordinates have a plan, they can kick Liu Xuande in the back again, and keep that Liu Xuande falling into the abyss and never getting up again! ”

……

On the evening of the third day, Caiyang County Ya.

Liu Bei sat in the hall tiredly, listening to the commotion outside the door, and looking at the generals and strategists under the tent with a worried face.

Zhuge Liang was also sincerely afraid, and took the responsibility of ambushing the soldiers outside the city on his shoulders early. But Zhang Fei looked indignant, and he couldn't wait to get on his horse and run to Xiangyang City immediately, tear Liu Biao off from the county office, and put his face on his face.

"What's the deal, Liu Jingsheng's guy is so annoying, my brother is dedicated to the public, he actually dared to let Liu Pan'er come to take over his brother's territory, which angered Lao Tzu, and now he will pick up a gun and take Liu Pan'er's dog's head!"

"Third brother, shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yide, Hugh is in vain!"

Two eyes fell on him at the same time, Zhuge Liang looked at him and stopped talking, but Liu Bei stood up directly from the desk chair and shouted.

"Liu was defeated in Xuzhou at the beginning, if it wasn't for his brother to borrow a place temporarily, he would have been in exile at this moment. Now that Yuzhou has been defeated again, Yun Chang Xingxing has fallen, and it is my brother who has given me a territory where I can cultivate and recuperate. The kindness of my brother to us is like a mountain and a depth of the sea, and the kindness is recreated.

The ancients: The virtue of people is also to me, and we must not forget it; I am virtuous to others, and I must not forget it. The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring, not to mention the grace of reconstruction? How can you lie behind your brother's back, have you forgotten the truth that a manly man has a kindness in return? ”

A hearty scolding made Zhang Fei's face red and he couldn't raise his head, and Liu Xuande breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a personal guard hurriedly ran in from outside the door, and the look of anxiety and anxiety overflowed: "Lord Qi, several soldiers under the command of the three generals were dissatisfied with Liu Pan's seizure of their camp, and they angrily raised knives and slashed people, causing two of Liu Pan's personal guards to be killed and one seriously injured!" ”

There was silence in the middle of the hall, a silence like death, as if you could hear a needle dropping.
