Chapter 388: A Difficult Choice
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
No matter who looks at it, Liu Xiu is a very mature and stable person.
However, only Yan Guang can understand best that as long as Liu Xiu is still there, Liu Xiu will always be a child who has not grown up, and Liu Xiu takes care of him too well, so that he will always have something to rely on in his heart, and he will not be able to be truly independent.
The murder of Liu Xiu is a very sad thing, but for Liu Xiu, it is not a bad thing.
Yan Guang looked at Liu Xiu and said quietly: "In the past, no matter what the lord did, the priority was Da Situ, but now, the lord should live for himself." ”
Liu Xiu stopped her tears and looked at Yan Guang blankly.
The latter continued: "In fact, the existence of Da Situ has always suppressed the lord and let the lord tie his hands and feet, and when Da Situ is gone, the lord can be distracted and show his strength. ”
This is not Yan Guang's reassuring words, but his heartfelt words, his confirmation of Liu Xiu's death is very conducive to Liu Xiu's growth.
It is actually very difficult for one person to suppress another person, especially for a person as capable as Liu Xiu, it is even more difficult for others to suppress him, and Liu Xiu's existence has indeed suppressed Liu Xiu to a large extent.
History proves this.
In fact, Liu Xiu will be able to ascend the throne in the future and become the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous Guangwu Emperor, there are many obstacles in front of him, but none of them can be bigger than Liu Xiu.
If Liu Xiu does not die, there may not be the Eastern Han Dynasty in Chinese history, and the Han dynasty may not last for another two hundred years, and Liu Xiu himself has no possibility of sitting on the throne.
It can be said that it was precisely because of the calculations of Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang and others that they conspired to kill Liu Xiu, which helped Liu Xiu to eradicate the biggest obstacle on his future path to becoming emperor, and helped Liu Xiu overthrow the biggest mountain that pressed on him.
There are usually two sides to things, there is a bad side but also a good side. It's just that now people have seen the bad side, but Yan Guang has seen the good side.
Liu Xiu didn't expect Yan Guang to say such a thing, he looked at Yan Guang blankly, and the whole person was stunned, not knowing what to say. Yan Guang continued: "The lord has no time to be sad now, Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang and others have already killed Da Situ, they will never let go of the lord again, I heard that Liu Xuan has already sent Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei and others to Yingchuan, such as
If I'm right, their target is likely to be the lord. ”
Liu Xiu didn't think about this aspect at all now, and when Yan Guang finished speaking, he subconsciously asked, "Ziling, then I'...... So what should I do? ”
After a pause, he thumped his head vigorously and said helplessly: "Now my brain is messed up......
Yan Guang said: "The lord now has two ways to go, one is to fight. ”
"Hit?" Liu Xiu looked at Yan Guang. The latter nodded and said, "That's right! The lord took Runan as the foundation, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, if anyone came to attack, whether it was Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei, or Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, they would all beat it back. ”
"But in this way...... "But in this way, the lord will become a traitor to the Han family, and the final result will be that even if he wins a few battles, everyone will betray and leave, and it will be difficult to do anything." At best, I was lucky to be able to live in a corner of Runan, and I was able to catch my breath, and at worst
, will be ruined, and there will be no place to bury him. ”
"......" Liu Xiu fell silent. After a long time, he asked, "Ziling, what about the other way?" ”
Yan Guang looked at Liu Xiu with deep eyes, and said in a heavy tone: "Forbearance." ”
Liu Xiu met Yan Guang's gaze and asked, "How to endure it?" ”
Yan Guang sighed and said: "I took the initiative to go to Wancheng and plead guilty to Liu Xuan, saying that I didn't know about Da Situ's rebellion, and I never participated in it, so I drew a line with Da Situ." ”
As he spoke, Liu Xiu's hands slowly clenched into fists, his nails were embedded in the flesh, oozing blood, and his eyes became scarlet.
Yan Guang knows very well how difficult the second path he said is for Liu Xiu. But there is no way, this is the only way Liu Xiu can take at present.
Liu Xiu lowered his head and said word by word: "Ziling is asking me to go and ask the enemy who killed my brother to take the blame!" ”
Yan Guang said meaningfully: "Husband, you should be able to bend and stretch!" Back then, the Marquis of Huaiyin was able to endure the humiliation of his crotch, and today, if the lord can pass this hurdle, he will be able to achieve a great cause in the future! ”
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes, he didn't dare to compare with Han Xin back then, now, he just wants to avenge his brother's death! He asked: "Ziling, if I raise troops in Pingyu, how sure can I hit Wancheng?" ”
Yan Guang shook his head and said, "The lord can't get out of Runan at all. Seeing Liu Xiu raise his eyebrows in disbelief, Yan Guang analyzed: "At present, there are tens of thousands of Han troops stationed in Yingchuan, and these people are all loyal to the Imperial Court, and in addition, Liu Shengbu in the south of Runan will also obey Liu Xuan's dispatch, Lord."
If the prince rebels, the north and the south will inevitably be attacked by these two armies at the same time, with the current strength of the lord, can he cope with it? ”
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I am in Kunyang, and I defeated 400,000 reckless troops with 3,000 soldiers!" Yan Guang smiled, smiled bitterly, and said: "The victory of Kunyang, the lord should be very clear in his heart, it is the victory in the hearts of the people, it is the victory in the stupidity of Wang Yi and Wang Xun, and it is the victory in the contradictions within the reckless army. If the lord is opposed, the righteousness is on Liu Xuan's side
In addition, the abilities of Zhu Kun and Zhang Wei are not comparable to Wang Yi and Wang Xun; Now within the Han army, morale is flourishing, and there is no contradiction, how can the lord win? ”
Liu Xiu was in Kunyang, and there were many prerequisites for Liu Xiu to achieve the brilliant record of 3,000 men defeating 400,000 reckless troops, and if he rebelled now, how could he succeed if he did not have these prerequisites?
Yan Guang's analysis made Liu Xiu's feverish mind quickly calm down.
He took a few deep breaths, pondered for a long time, and said: "Since Liu Xuan killed my eldest brother, it is impossible for him to let me go again, if I go to Wancheng to take the blame, won't I fall into the net?" "No!" Yan Guang shook his head firmly and said, "Of course the lord can't go back so openly, he needs to sneak back to Wancheng secretly, take the Liu clan with him, and then go to ask Liu Xuan for guilt!" As long as the Liu clan relatives are present, Liu Xuan will never be
, and never dare to casually charge the lord and forcibly kill him. Only by doing so can the lord survive this calamity safely. ”
"And then?" Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and asked, "In the future, you will live like this suffocated and spineless?" ”
"The lord should wait for the opportunity to move."
"How do you wait for an opportunity?"
"Look for an opportunity to get out of Liu Xuan's control. I believe that with the talents of the Lord, I will definitely find such an opportunity. Yan Guang has always been very confident in Liu Xiu, perhaps he has always believed in Liu Xiu's ability. Seeing that Liu Xiu lowered his head and was silent, Yan Guang said quietly: "If the lord insists on rebelling, then the three elders of the country, Miss Boji, and even Miss Yin in Wancheng are probably in danger, and they will all become Liu Xuan's threats to the lord."
Yard. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu's body was shocked, and he raised his head in shock and horror. After listening to Yan Guang's analysis, he realized how big and high the price he had to pay if he wanted to take revenge now.
These external factors have forced Liu Xiu to have no way out, so he can only accept Yan Guang's opinion and be forced to compromise with Liu Xuan. Compromise with the enemy who killed his brother, he is unwilling, and he does not pass the hurdle in his heart. These Yan Guang are all understood. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said quietly: "Ziling is not afraid of death, if the lord insists on choosing to die, Ziling is willing to accompany the lord to go together, Ziling also believes that those brothers who follow the lord will make the same choice, Zhong Xian, Zhong Hua, Zi Zhang, Ci Guo, Juqing, Gongsun, Ziwei and so on. However, why did they choose to follow the lord in the first place, just to die with the lord in the end? The reason why they follow the lord and never abandon them is because
The Lord is benevolent, honest, and ambitious, and wants to follow the Lord to achieve a great cause! ”
Liu Xiu is not a person now, not a person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, his head has fallen off a bowl and he has a big scar, and he is still a good man after 20 years.
There are many brothers by his side, and his life and death are no longer his own affairs, but everyone's business.
He looked at Yan Guang, swallowed his saliva, and finally remained silent. At this moment, the curtain of the tent was raised, and Zhu You, Ma Wu, Cho Qi, Feng Yi, Fu Jun, Gai Yan and others all walked in, and people's eyes fell on Liu Xiu in unison, and they said in unison: "Lord, the hatred of killing my brother is not the same as the sky,
The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he holds a three-foot sword, he is happy and hateful! As long as the lord gives an order now, we will swear to follow the lord, follow the lord, kill into Wancheng, and take off Liu Xuan'er's dog's head! ”
Looking at the people who rushed in, Liu Xiu's heart was shocked, his nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
These people, each of them are good brothers who follow him, born to die, can he push them into the fire pit with his own hands? Let them be the same as themselves, saddled with infamy through the ages?
Even if he was crushed to pieces, it was impossible for Liu Xiu to let these brothers follow him into disrepute and die without a place to bury.
Originally, he was still unwilling and hesitated, but with everyone's initiative to ask, Liu Xiu finally made up his mind. He turned his head to look at Yan Guang and said, "According to what Ziling said, I will go to Wancheng and ask Liu Xuan for his guilt!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Guang's eyes were wet and red, and he didn't speak again, he stood up, straightened his gray robe, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed to Liu Xiu.
Zhu You, Ma Wu, Choshi and others, hearing Liu Xiu's words, their hearts were about to break, and everyone knelt on the ground with a hula and said loudly: "Lord-"
Liu Xiu looked around at the people who knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "It's useless to show us, I can only take everyone in front of the two armies, born and died, and attack the city, but I can't bless everyone to increase officials and enter the knighthood, glory and wealth." ”
As he spoke, he got out of bed, fell to his knees with a pop, and bowed forward. Liu Xiu's kneeling made everyone present feel like a knife. Liu Xiu understood that everyone present understood that once Liu Xiu chose to go back to Wancheng to take the blame, in the future, there would be no more Liu Xiu, and these soldiers under Liu Xiu's command would have to be punished
Break up, or merge into other armies, or transfer to other places, and certainly not be used too much. This is also the reason why Liu Xiu feels ashamed of these brothers.
