There is a process for the collapse and disintegration of every dynasty, which may be fast or slow, and before that, the accumulated discontent of all strata of society must have reached a critical point.

And then it broke out.

"The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, the lord, I think that the decline of the Han family is only in the evening, and there are countless people in the world who have the same idea as Li, and there are countless people who have the same idea as the lord."

Cheng Li grinned and said: "In troubled times, when unscrupulous, the soldiers are not strong, the horses are not strong, the heart is not ruthless, and the hands are not spicy, the lord is well versed in this, and he is very happy, and he is only willing to share the worries of the lord and help the lord to show his ambitions." ”

Guo Peng got out of bed, walked to Cheng Li and sat down, looking at Cheng Li's face up close.

"Does Zhongde dare to go the most difficult way in the world with me, a rebellious thief? Even if you lose your reputation and leave a stench for 10,000 years? ”

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Cheng Li clasped his hands into fists and saluted Guo Peng: "The husband must not be famous for a hundred years, and he will be stinking for ten thousand years!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Guo Peng laughed heartily and clenched Cheng Li's hand: "I only know today's heart that Zhongde treats me, Zhongde, from now on, you will not live up to me, and I will not live up to you." ”

"I set up this body to dedicate myself to the lord, but it is driven by the lord."

Then Cheng Li said: "Since the lord is willing to be honest and honest, it is not taboo to stand, lord, if there is such a thing in the future, please be sure to hand it over to Li, the lord only needs to give an order." ”

"Why?"

Guo Peng knew that what Cheng Li said was the dirty thing that killed Liu Bei.

"The lord wants the world to see that he is an upright lord, for this reason, the lord can't do things in secret, and if he does things in secret for a long time, it will affect the ambition of the lord, and this kind of thing should be done by Lilai."

Guo Peng suddenly felt that what Cheng Li said was very reasonable.

If you do things secretly for a long time, people will really change.

What I want to disguise to outsiders is a radiant image, and the shadow under this light should be done by someone, not by yourself.

Cheng Li is an excellent candidate.

"Zhongdezhi, I know, after Liu Bei came, I arranged for Liu Bei to place ten personal soldiers I brought from my hometown in the troops under Liu Bei's command, their families are all in my manor, absolutely reliable, I originally wanted to use them to monitor Liu Bei's every move.

But this time I decided to kill Liu Bei, so I made arrangements for them, so that they took advantage of the conflict between Gongsun Bogui and the Karasuma people, and took the lead in shooting the Karasuma people with arrows, which angered the Karasuma people, and then took advantage of the chaotic battle to kill Liu Bei with arrows, and in the future, I will also hand over these people to Zhongde. ”

Cheng Li nodded.

"The lord entrusts him, and he will do his best, but the lord is also a dangerous move this time, the lord wants to get the two of them, and this chaotic arrow is not long-sighted."

Guo Peng shook his head.

"Zhongde thought wrong, Guan Daniel Zhang is fierce, it is only brave, it can't become a big thing, only Liu Bei can become a big thing, Guan Zhang can live, it's pure luck, as long as Liu Bei can die, what about Guan Zhang, they all die there is the same, the effect may be better."

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Isn't it the will of heaven? ”

"Who knows?"

Guo Peng and Cheng Li laughed together.

"However, my lord, my lord's ambition is a good thing, but now the world will be chaotic, and it is not the time for the lord to soar into the sky, the first person to rebel since ancient times is just opening the way for future generations, may the lord be clear."

Cheng Li's meaning, Guo Peng naturally understood.

"What Zhongde means, I understand, rest assured Zhongde, I will continue to fight for the Han until the day when everyone in the world wants me to fight for myself."

Cheng Li's eyes flashed with excitement.

"The lord is really a hero!"

"The male master is not counted, but he can endure more than others, and this is not a powerful skill, but too many people have greater advantages than me, and I have to be patient."

Cheng Li disagreed with Guo Peng's words.

"Lord, seeking a great cause can not be smooth sailing, if you can't endure, can't withstand setbacks, it will be overturned, and there will be no day to turn over, the lord can endure, has surpassed others too much."

Guo Peng was silent for a while.

"yes."

He exclaimed.

Fortunately when I was a child, after arriving in Luoyang, it was the time to really test my endurance, and Guo Peng would never forget the experience of being blinded and having to endure patience.

After a while, Cheng Li said again: "By the way, the lord, regarding the matter that the lord is worried about Qiu Liju's rebellion, Li has already found out some clues. ”

"Oh? Hurry up. ”

It turned out that through some befriended merchants, such as Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who were introduced by Liu Bei, Cheng Li learned some important clues.

"You mean, that Karasuma leader got drunk and told Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping that they were going to do great things?"

"Yes, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping felt that something was wrong with this matter, as soon as we asked, they came to report, in addition, there were merchants who said that they saw that Karasuma was collecting weapons, preparing rations, and food for horses, which was clearly going to fight!"

Cheng Li lowered his throat and said to Guo Peng: "The lord's guess may not be wrong, Karasuma people, you have to rebel." ”

"Why the other way around? No, you always need a reason, right? ”

Guo Peng looked at Cheng Li.

Cheng Li opened his mouth and said: "Do you still remember the Yuyang people Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun who were mentioned to the lord when the sect envoy came to the party before? ”

"Yes."

Guo Peng nodded: "These two people recommended themselves to Zhang Wen as generals and wanted to lead their soldiers to participate in the battle of Liangzhou, but Zhang Wen refused, so they scolded Zhang Wen without hesitation. ”

"Zong Envoy Jun said that the Zhang family has a lot of power on the ground in Yuyang, and these two people have been Taishan Taishou and Zhongshan Xiang respectively, and their families are rich and have some skills.

According to the information that Li Tan knows, the two of them have purchased grain and horses in many ways in the past year, and have met with Qiu Liju many times, and in the past two months, as far as we know, there have been seven meetings, and ordinary merchants have also been in contact with Qiu Liju, but they have contacted too many times, what are they going to do? ”

Cheng Li's face was nervous: "We can't know more things, but judging from what happened before and after contact, Qiu Liju and these two must be planning something." ”

"Seeing the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest intensifying, some people's hearts are restless, thinking that Youzhou is remote, and I am afraid that they have the idea of separating one side."

Guo Peng said with a cold face: "If Qiu Liju joins forces with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, I'm afraid he can really do something, and their obstacle is that I still have the sect envoy, especially me, the cavalry I lead is very elite, if Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun want to make trouble, it is impossible not to ignore me." ”

"That's true, if the lord is out with his army, they will be more at ease, and if the lord is here, they may still think about it."

"That's true, but ......"

Guo Peng suddenly paused, his eyes rolled, and he was silent.

"Qiu Liju is unwilling to be driven by me, and has a different heart, my lord, Qiu Liju is this person, and he must not stay! Before they rebelled, they must have been prepared, and the lord thought, how should we act? ”

Cheng Li looked at Guo Peng expectantly.
