Chapter 66, Liu Bei's Opportunity
Li Ru smiled without saying a word, then took out a gift slip from his arms, pushed it forward, Liu Bei leaned over and looked at it, and immediately sneered and laughed, "Dong Zhuo is really generous!"
On the gift list, it is densely written, all of which are precious jewels and gold leaf, gold beads and agate, jade and jade, cloth and satin......
There are so many names, there are so many of them!
Dong Zhuo had a love for talents, and his shots were extraordinarily generous, although he was unmoved by Liu Bei's righteous words, but deep in his heart, Liu Bei was more or less overflowing, and there was also a trace of ripples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that I care about these yellow and white things, but this feeling of being valued is too exciting.
Originally, the most feared prince in Dong Zhuo's heart was Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, if it wasn't for Guan Yu who attracted Dong Zhuo's attention, among the princes of Kwantung, Dong Zhuo wanted to win over Sun Jian the most, and even wanted to give his little daughter to Sun Jian's son.
However, Guan Yu's successive victories in front of the battle made Dong Zhuo change his mind, and it was said that Dong Zhuo had his own plans to send people to fight Guan Yu repeatedly, one was to test Guan Yu's skills, after all, although Hua Xiong died under Guan Yu's knife, Dong Zhuo did not see it with his own eyes after all.
Dong Zhuo Rong Ma has been a horse all his life, and naturally sees that Guan Yu is really capable, even if he killed Hua Xiong with one sword, it is mixed with the element of luck, but Dong Zhuo's eyes are like a torch, after some observation by him, I have to say that Guan Yu's skills are definitely above Hua Xiong.
Another reason, the Xiliang soldiers have been defeated several times before, although they have the trump card of Lu Bu in their hands, but, because of the appearance of Guan Yu, Dong Zhuo still changed his mind, Guan Yu won again and again, and the allies will inevitably become more and more arrogant.
Liu Bei was unmoved by the wealth, and the gift list was immediately returned to Li Ru, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Ru.
However, the beads of his eyes flickered, and the corners of Li Ru's mouth surfaced a familiar smile: "Xuande Gong, the world does not know the truth, they are all blinded, the reason why my lord is abolished is not only because the young emperor is weak enough to serve the temple, not enough to command the world, in fact, in the edict of the first emperor, in black and white, it is clear that it is written to pass the throne to Liu Xie, it is He Jin who led people to kill Jian Shuo and others to pass on the edict privately, and renamed Liu Bian as the emperor, it is not a secret, the edict of the first emperor is still in the hands of the lord, not to mention, the emperor is smart and beautiful, is witty, far stronger than the young emperor. ”
"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing."
Zhang Fei really couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but sneer.
Li Ru was not angry, and still persuaded with a smile; "Xuande Gong, I think you are a relative of the Han family, after the emperor, but now you are entangled with the Kwantung rebellion, if Your Majesty knows, you must be sad."
Li Ru repeatedly persuaded him, although Liu Bei did not take Li Ru's words seriously, but Dong Zhuo's promise was rich enough, Li Ru told Liu Bei that if Liu Bei and the three were willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Dong Zhuo would never be bad, and the marquis would be honored at the end of the day.
Even in the end, Li Ru also took out a handwritten letter from Dong Zhuo, in which Dong Zhuo was sincere, and he always remembered the life-saving grace a few years ago, and apologized to Liu Bei repeatedly for his arrogance and rudeness back then.
Liu Bei is very assertive, whether it is Li Ru's persuasion, or Dong Zhuo's apology and promise, these are not enough to make him tempted, even if the edict of the first emperor is really in Dong Zhuo's hands, Liu Bei will not be in the same league as Dong Zhuo.
However, in his heart, a window suddenly opened.
Liu Bei thought to himself, the princes of Kwantung have their own selfish intentions, do not want to forge ahead, and expect them to save the Han family from fire and water, but there is really little hope, why not plan with the snake general, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to use thunderous means to get rid of Dong Thief in one fell swoop.
When this idea burst out in Liu Bei's mind, Liu Bei's heart, like a surging tide, suddenly became active.
The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more excited he became, but his face was still impassive, but Li Ru's eyes, which were more cunning than foxes, still caught the bright light emitted at that moment from Liu Bei's eyes.
Li Ru didn't know Liu Bei's true thoughts, he mistakenly thought that Liu Bei was moved by what he said, but he didn't say anything, he wanted to estimate a high price, deliberately whet people's appetites, and wanted to get more benefits from himself.
Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's confidant, his words are naturally very weighty, Li Ru repeatedly assured that once Liu Bei is willing to submit, high-ranking officials will never be treated badly, and when the time comes, the horse will be ridden and wait for a high position!
And Liu Bei calculated the plan, and gradually loosened.
"Sir, go back first, let me think twice about this matter."
Seeing that it was not early, Liu Bei still had to discuss with his two brothers, got up to say goodbye to Li Ru, Li Ru had already got the answer he wanted from Liu Bei's face, and immediately smiled loudly and left the camp quickly.
When Liu Bei returned to the tent and saw that the two brothers were staring at him, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yun Chang, Yide, I know that you must have something to say to me in your hearts, and listen to me first, when the time comes, you two can't say it again." ”
After listening to Liu Bei's thoughts, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all taken aback, and Zhang Fei was so excited that he almost didn't jump up, "Big brother, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, your approach, the younger brother is a hundred in favor, just thinking about it is exciting, but the eldest brother wants to be the poor dagger Jing Ke?" ”
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei, crying and laughing, Liu Bei shook his head, "I believe that there must be many righteous people loyal to the imperial court around Dong Zhuo, if you can join forces with these people, and then plan carefully, you will not have a chance to get rid of Dong Thief." ”
Liu Bei's thoughts are somewhat similar to Cao Cao at the beginning, approaching Dong Zhuo, winning his trust, and then taking Dong Zhuo by surprise.
Although similar, there are also differences, Liu Bei not only wants to kill Dong Zhuo, but more importantly, he wants to use Dong Zhuo's trust to cultivate his own strength, not only to kill Dong Zhuo, but also to grab Dong Zhuo's territory.
Even if he temporarily succumbs to the thief, this is also an opportunity worth fighting for Liu Bei.
He has nothing now, and he has been with the Kwantung princes for so long, Liu Bei is not only cold to their actions, but also sad about his own situation.
If the princes worked together, Liu Bei would never have other thoughts, but the truth was obviously not what he hoped for.
What's more, whether the princes can succeed in courting Dong, in the end, the 'benefits' that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them can get are really limited.
Territory, they can't grab it, money and food, they can't grab it, except for the two brothers Guan Zhang who can kill the enemy in front of the battle and become famous, Liu Bei can't hope for anything else.
However, if he switches to Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei will definitely soar into the sky, of course, he does not really want to join Dong Zhuo.
At least, this is a broad road for Liu Bei to achieve his dreams, and it is also a shortcut.
He is different from Lu Bu, Lu Bu cares about money and beauty, he cares about status and power, Liu Bei, he cares about real things, such as territory, soldiers and horses, and getting rid of national thieves to save the reputation of the Han family!
