793, Liu Bei's mind
Zhu Weijun gave Zang Ba two prerequisites that he had to agree to surrender, and anyway, the current situation was completely under Zhu Weijun's control, and Zang Ba had no way to bargain.
The first is to ask Zang Ba to send Liu Bei to Zhu Weijun, which ostensibly means that Zhu Wei will ask Liu Bei to go to Luoyang to discuss the future Son of Heaven considering Liu Bei's status as a clan relative of the Han family.
Of course, this is just an excuse, in fact, Zhu Wei has long expressed his attitude towards Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei is a hero in troubled times, and if he has the opportunity, he must control it in his hands to avoid Liu Bei causing more trouble.
And now that Liu Bei is also surrounded in Liangfu County, it is naturally the best time to control him.
What's more, the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's account do also have the courage of ten thousand people, if they can use such an excuse to take down Liu Bei without swords, then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can naturally be easily controlled, so that Zhu Weijun can take down Liu, Guan, and Zhang at the lowest cost.
The second condition, Zhu Weijun asked Zang Ba to follow Zhu Weijun to attack Gunzhou after the war, of course, Taishan County can still let Zang Ba's people garrison, and Zhu Weijun will not forcibly garrison here.
These two conditions, at the beginning, when Zhu Weijun sent envoys into Liangfu County and Zang Ba proposed to persuade him to surrender, he proposed them to Zang Ba alone, and Liu Bei did not know about them at first.
Under the planning of Xu Shu and Lu Su, such a method of only seeking Zang Ba to persuade him to surrender, but deliberately ignoring Liu Bei's methods, can also make Liu Bei and Zang Ba in Liangfu County have a gap, at least the secret meeting between Zhu Wei's envoy and Zang Ba will definitely make Liu Bei worried.
Although Zang Ba's troops in Liangfu County are far more than Liu Bei's now, Liu Bei also has fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, and if they fight in the city, it will also be beneficial to Zhu Weijun.
And Zang Ba's side, when he was surrounded by Zhu Weijun in Liangfu County, his heart was actually a little loose.
After that, Zhu Weijun shot an arrow to persuade him to surrender, and sent an envoy to the city to discuss with Zang Ba about surrender, which made Zang Ba's mind more and more shaken.
Of course, now that Zhu Weijun has the initiative, in this negotiation of persuasion, Zhu Weijun did not leave much time for Zang Ba to consider, but after the envoy put forward two conditions to Zang Ba, he gave another day to consider.
However, Zang Ba only took a while, and he made a rough decision in his heart, and then Zang Ba directly found Liu Bei for a showdown, said the two conditions proposed by Zhu Weijun, and asked Liu Bei what his opinion was.
And Liu Bei was besieged in Liangfu County, naturally he was also complicated, and it seemed impossible for him to go north to join Yuan Shao now, but Liu Bei was also a little unwilling to die in Liangfu County.
So when Zhu Weijun persuaded Zang Ba to surrender, and then sent a messenger to meet Zang Ba or something, Liu Bei didn't mean to stop him, but he was worried about how Zhu Wei would treat him.
These days, Liu Bei is naturally secretly guarding against Zang Ba's face, and at the same time looking for opportunities to befriend the Taishan thief leaders under Zang Ba, hoping to control more influence in Liangfu County, and directly kill Zang Ba to seize military power with the worst plan.
Now that he heard the news sent by Zang Ba, Liu Bei was also relieved, and then met with Zang Ba in the city to discuss this matter.
"Xuande Gong, what do you think about the conditions proposed by Zhu Weijun this time! The situation of Liangfu County, Xuande Gong wants to know it, and now the county is surrounded by regiments, with the strength of our two families, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and please Xuande Gong can remember the old friendship and save the people of Mount Tai! ”
Zang Ba and Liu Bei found a restaurant at the junction of the two forces in Liangfu County to talk, and at this moment Zang Ba seemed to be still asking Liu Bei what he meant, but in fact, he had already expressed his mind.
Just listened to Zang Ba's words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who came with Liu Bei, couldn't help but glare at Zang Ba angrily, only Liu Bei's close guard commander Chen Zhi still didn't feel anything, anyway, he was more often hidden behind Liu Bei as if invisible.
Of course, now there are also a lot of guards on Zang Ba's side, although the force of the generals cannot be compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but the strength that Zang Ba has is enough to make Liu Bei dare not easily make a move against Zang Ba here.
It can be said that now Zang Ba can negotiate with Liu Bei here, but he did not be ruthless to Liu Bei, it can be regarded as Zang Ba thinking of the old relationship and being more polite to Liu Bei.
Otherwise, even if Zang Ba is attacking with his army now, with Liu Bei's troops, even if it is a fierce general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he will not be able to stop the attack of Zang Ba's army, plus they are besieged in Liangfu County, Liu Bei has nowhere to escape even if he wants to.
Liu Bei also understood the current situation, so at this moment he seemed to smile with relief, "Xuan Gao, today's situation is also a loss, if it weren't for the preparation of implicating Xuan Gao, Xuan Gao directly voted for Zhu Wei, and there would be no such situation today!" No matter what, no matter what, since that Qian Tanghou wants to invite him to prepare for a while, then he will go to Luoyang for a while! ”
"Big brother, this..., isn't that our ......?"
Listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei's eyes immediately widened, and he said very unwillingly.
And Guan Yu couldn't help but stroke his long beard, his eyes flashed with many looks, obviously Guan Yu could understand Liu Bei's decision, but Guan Yu couldn't decide what the future would be.
"Yide..., third brother! Alas, now that the situation is like this, do you want to involve the 8,000 Taishan brothers of Xuangao and die together in Liangfu County? It's just that the eldest brother didn't know the form, but he didn't want that Qian Tanghou to be very old, and he could have such a strong army under his command, in the future, in this world, alas, God is pitiful, is the Han family really weakened! Four hundred years of glorious man, is it really going to fall into the hands of this son! ”
Liu Bei turned his head and drank Zhang Fei, but at this moment his heart was also quite lost, as far as the current situation in the world is concerned, Zhu Wei can fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao with only one family, although Liu Bei does not know Cao Cao's defeat now, but he also seems to feel Zhu Wei's strong rise.
As for Zhu Wei's so-called invitation to Liu Bei to discuss the new Son of Heaven, Liu Bei naturally understood that it was an excuse, even if he set up a new Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he would be a puppet firmly controlled by Zhu Wei like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
If Liu Bei had the heart to seek the throne from Yuan Shao before, and then turn his hands into clouds and rain to get rid of Yuan Shao's control and seize the real power of the Son of Heaven, but now Liu Bei no longer has this kind of thought.
Liu Bei had considered the situation on Zhu Wei's side before, even if Liu Bei was supported as the Son of Heaven on Zhu Wei's side, he could only be a puppet I, and it was difficult to have a chance to get rid of Zhu Wei's control.
So Liu Bei is really a little disheartened at this moment, Liu Han is afraid that he is going to die, but as a relative of the Han family, he is also powerless.
Of course, it is also possible that Liu Bei continues to act for Zang Ba here, hoping that through such a performance, Zang Ba can still feel something, so that there will be any changes for the better......
