There are no rules, there is no circle, everything has a charter. At present, the imperial court is about to go to war against the Sun-Liu coalition army, but before the war, some necessary processes still have to be carried out. It's not that Liu Xie is hypocritical, but through these means, he can effectively shake the hearts of the opponent's people.

It's just that what Liu Xie didn't expect was that before he could take action, Sun Liu on the opposite side sent envoys one after another. Idle is also idle, mainly because the newly built warship has not yet arrived, and there is no absolute advantage in starting a war with Sun Liu at this time, so Liu Xie summoned the messenger sent by Sun Liu.

Zhuge Jin was Sun Quan's envoy, while Liu Bei's envoy was Wang Shang. This can also be regarded as Liu Xie's acquaintance, when Liu Xie took back Bashu, he had met with Wang Shang several times. However, Liu Xie does not value Wang Shang, but values Wang Shang's fellow clansmen Wang Lei and Wang Fu. Later, Liu Bei invaded Bashu, and Wang Shang led his clansmen to take refuge and acted as Liu Bei's internal response. It's just that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Liu Bei did not succeed in occupying Bashu, and as a sinner who led the wolf into the house, Wang Shang couldn't stay in Bashu anymore, so he had to flee back to Jingnan with Liu Bei.

Wang Shang's life has been very boring in recent years, although Liu Bei did not treat Wang Shang badly for food and clothing, but he did not meet Wang Shang's pursuit of rights. If he was just pursuing three meals a day, Wang Shang would not have betrayed Liu Xie and joined Liu Bei. But what Wang Shang didn't expect was that even if he changed his father-in-law, he still didn't get reused.

The opportunity to go on this mission was begged by Wang Shang and Liu Bei, he didn't want to continue to eat and wait for death, even if he asked Liu Xie to cut off his head in the end, it would be better than being a waste all day long. To say that Wang Shang's qualifications are average, not as good as Wang Lei and Wang Fu of the same clan as him, but he has a good life, and the family he gave birth to is in charge of the family power, Liu Yan was very important to the Wang family in order to get the support of the Bashu family when he first entered Bashu, and Wang Shang was therefore the highest among his peers in the clan in terms of identity and power in his hands.

But as Liu Xie took back control of Bashu from Liu Zhang, Wang Shang's position in the clan began to be challenged by Wang Lei and Wang Fu. Liu Xie reused Wang Lei and Wang Fu, but he didn't like Wang Shang, who was not very capable but liked to talk about pomp and circumstance in everything.

Wang Shang, who was unwilling to let the former "defeated generals" ride on his head, took a risk and chose Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was not angry and did not occupy Bashu, and Wang Shang could only leave his hometown if he was implicated, and according to the current situation, there was no hope of returning to his hometown.

Liu Xie didn't recognize Wang Shang at first, and it was only when Wang Shang introduced himself that he remembered such a person. Liu Xie didn't have any feelings about Wang Shang, and Liu Xie had seen too many people who had left a mark in the history books over the years, and he didn't care about little-known people like Wang Shang.

"Weichen Wang Shang (Zhuge Jin), meet the saint." Wang Shang and Zhuge Jin saluted Liu Xie at the same time.

"Huh...... Wechen? Whose servants are you? Why didn't I know that there were two of you among the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China? Liu Xie asked with a sneer.

It is common sense to salute first and then soldier, but Liu Xie does not intend to abide by this common sense. He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and now he is leading the royal family to clean up the rebellion, and those who serve the rebellion are also rebellious. Of course, the most important reason is that Liu Xie knows that Sun Quan and Liu Bei are both masters who do not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and who do not die until the heart of the Yellow River, and it is impossible to make them surrender with the threat of force, and they are indifferent to persuasion with good words. Being polite to them is purely to add to your own blockage, anyway, it is impossible for the left and right to solve the last princes of these two roads without blood, so it doesn't matter what attitude you take.

"The saint laughed, Weichen is Hanchen." Zhuge Jin replied.

"Hanchen? You're going to listen to what I'm saying? Hearing this, Liu Xie stared at Zhuge Jin and asked.

Now Zhuge Jin is not easy to answer, if you don't listen, it is a protest, who told you to call yourself Hanchen? But if you listen, God knows what this big man who doesn't play cards according to common sense will ask for himself.

"Hey~ Zhuge Jin, speak, I'm asking you." Liu Xie didn't intend to let Zhuge Jin go, and asked forcefully.

“…… I don't know what the saint has to say to let Weichen bring to my general? Zhuge Jin couldn't hide from it, so he had to ask hard.

"Huh...... You can't do this for you, because since you're here, stay here for now. Come and take him down to rest, so that he can take care of him, and if something happens to him, the person in charge of taking care of him will never spare him. Liu Xie smiled, ignoring Zhuge Jin's wishes, and ordered left and right.

Zhuge Jin saw that it was going to be bad, and hurriedly protested: "What does the Holy Lord mean by this? ”

"It's nothing, I have a good conversation with you, I can't bear to let you go, I want to keep you here for a few more days."

“…… Thank you for the good intentions of the saints, but Weichen still has a wife and children in Jiangdong......"

"Hey~ How can a manly man have no wife, if Sun Quan embarrasses your wife and children because you decide to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will definitely seek justice from Sun Quan for you."

"Holy One, this, this ......"

"Don't do this or that, hurry up, I didn't see Ziyu who was tired from the journey, and he didn't even say anything, and he didn't help him go down to rest." Liu Xie didn't plan to listen to Zhuge Jin's words at all, and directly glanced at Cao Zhanglian next to him. Cao Zhang, who had been following Liu Xie for a long time, understood in his heart, and as soon as he snorted at the people around him, two strong men immediately stepped forward to pick up Zhuge Jin and walked out. Zhuge Jin is a literati, it's okay to fight and play tricks, but when he doesn't fight with him, he can only comply.

Wang Shang watched Zhuge Jin being carried out like a chicken boy, and heard Liu Xie's voice in his ears, "Now it's your turn." ”

“…… I don't know what the Holy One has to say? Wang Shang asked respectfully.

"Huh...... I really don't have much to say about you. Ziwen, do you know that there is an old saying? Ah yes, let heaven have a road and don't go, and hell has no door to cast. Wang Shang, Wang Shang, I really don't know how to say hello, why do you say that you are so bold and dare to come to see me? Have you forgotten the crimes Liu Bei committed in Chengdu when he entered Shu? Or do you think I've forgotten? Even if I forget, the survivors who experienced the massacre will not forget. Liu Xie stood up as he spoke, his eyes staring at Wang Shang, who was trembling like chaff.

At that time, Wang Shang acted as Liu Bei's internal response, causing huge losses to Bashu, and this was only secondary, but it was precisely because of Wang Shang that Liu Bei was able to finally break through Chengdu and order the slaughter of the city. If Liu Bei is the main culprit, then Wang Shang is an accomplice. No matter what the era, traitors are always the most hated. The reason why Wang Shang has been staying by Liu Bei's side all these years is not that he is dead set on Liu Bei, but that he can't go back to Bashu at all, because in Bashu, there are not a few people who want to eat him Wang Shang alive, and no one hates Wang Shang just for the survivors of the Chengdu massacre. Compared with Wang Shang, Liu Bei is not so hated.

Hearing Liu Xie mention the slaughter of Chengdu in person, Wang Shang couldn't help but panic, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been dizzy to run this trip, what is the difference between this and throwing himself into the net?

"Think twice, the two countries are at war......" As soon as Wang Shang, who was unwilling to sit back, opened his mouth, he heard Liu Xie's voice and shouted with some joy: "Woe comes from the mouth, you, what are the two countries?" Just because you say this, I will cut you down now, and no one will cry for you. But don't worry, I'm not a murderer, and I plan to leave your life and death to the people of Chengdu to decide. Ziwen, take it down, remember to take strict care, don't let him have any accidents, I want him to return to Chengdu alive. Liu Xie instructed Cao Zhangdao.

After dealing with the envoy sent by Sun Liu, Pang Lin, who had been watching from the side for a long time, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled and said: "Zhong Yuan, your brother Shiyuan and I are brothers and sisters, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, you don't have any scruples, even if you say it wrong, I won't blame you." ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord, Weichen is really puzzled, that Wang Shang deserves it, but he can forcibly detain Zhuge Jin, is this a little inappropriate?" Pang Lin thanked him first when he heard this, and then expressed his doubts.

"Zhong Yuan, let me ask you, what is the relationship between the imperial court and Jiangdong?"

"Uh...... Adversarial relations. ”

"Yes, the imperial court represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and Jiangdong is just a rebellion that takes advantage of the weakness of the Han Dynasty to try to stand on its own. Although the Han lost its deer, the world chased it, but the people's hearts are still in the Han. Now that the Han Dynasty has resurged, Jiangdong is just a cow and sheep to be slaughtered, what is there to talk about him? ”

"You can steal the messenger...... It seems that there is some moral unreasonableness, after all, the two armies are fighting, and they don't cut ......"

"Did I kill Zhuge Jin?" Liu Xie asked Pang Lin a question, and immediately choked Pang Lin half to death. Without waiting for Pang Lin to speak, Liu Xie continued: "Zhong Yuan, it seems unreasonable to force Zhuge Jin to stay, but you haven't seen the deep meaning. If your brother had been here, he wouldn't be like you. ”

"Meaning?"

"Go back and think to yourself, you are going to take over Kuai Yue as the county guard of Xiangyang in the future, and you need others to tell you how to do everything." Liu Xie sent Pang Lindao.

Liu Xie refused to give an answer, so Pang Lin had no choice but to retire and go back to think about what Liu Xieqiang meant by keeping Zhuge Jin. And after Pang Lin left, Cao Zhang, who also didn't think of a reason, came over, "Holy Lord, what is the meaning of you forcing Zhuge Jin to stay?" ”

"You want to know too?"

"Hey...... The last general is not Pang Lin, and the saint directly told the last general that there is no problem with the answer. Cao Zhang said with a smile.

"Huh...... It's nothing to tell you, I left Zhuge Jin, first, it was a request sent by Sun Cetuo, saying that this Zhuge Jin is a talent, and it would be a pity if he followed Sun Quan all the way to the black. However, I guess Sun Ce will intercede specifically for Zhuge Jin in order to repay Zhuge Jin's favor. ”

"Favors? What does Sun Ce owe Zhuge Jin a favor? Cao Zhang asked with some confusion when he heard this.

"Well, if it weren't for Zhuge Jin's secret conspiracy back then, Sun Ce's wife and children would have been poisoned by Sun Quan before we could send someone to pick it up, I think Sun Ce didn't want to owe Zhuge Jin a favor so he would open his mouth to me."

“…… There must be one and there are two, holy, what about the second reason? ”

"Ziwen, don't look at Jiangdong as an enemy of the imperial court now, but it doesn't mean that the entire Jiangdong will stubbornly resist the imperial court to the end. There has always been a division of war and peace within Jiangdong, among which Lü Meng is the representative of the main battle faction, and the representative of the main peace faction is Zhang Zhao. ”

"Zhang Zhao? Isn't he dead? I heard that Sun Quan was forced to die. ”

Although Zhang Zhao is dead, people who share his views are still there. It's just that the main battle faction in Jiangdong has the upper hand right now, and Sun Quan supports Lu Meng, so the main peace faction has just died down. ”

"Then what does this have to do with forcing Zhuge Jin to stay?"

"It's a big deal. Ziwen, what is the best way to break through a strong fortress? ”

"From within, of course...... Holy Lord, are you planning to sow discord again? ”

"What do you mean? Also, this is called a discord scheme, don't say anything to sow discord, it's weird and ugly. Liu Xie corrected dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, yes, the last general has lost his word. Just, does it work? The Holy Lord also said just now, Sun Quan is the main battle, and he will listen to the persuasion of the cowards under his hands. Cao Zhang immediately changed his tune, but he still didn't believe that Liu Xie's discordant plan could succeed.

"Ziwen, the division of rights in Jiangdong is different from that of the imperial court, there are many families in Jiangdong, don't look at Sun Quan as the lord of Jiangdong, but half of the major events in Jiangdong are something he can't do. It is the Koto family that can really do the master. When the interests are aligned, the Jiangdong family will stand on Sun Quan's side, but once there is a difference of interests, the Jiangdong family will not hesitate to abandon Sun Quan. The family is like this, good at seeking good fortune and avoiding harm. Liu Xie couldn't help but show a sneer at the end.

"Holy Lord, you don't seem to like the family very much."

"Do you like to associate with people who can only share wealth and hardship?" Liu Xie asked rhetorically.

When Cao Zhang heard this, he immediately shook his head and expressed his reluctance, Liu Xie smiled when he saw this: "It's still good, you don't like it either, why do you expect me to like it?" Ziwen, I don't like the greed of the family, but I don't deny the existence of the family. I don't plan to completely wipe out the family, because the family can't be destroyed, and there will only be constant replacement. Your Cao family and Xiahou family will also become a family in the future, but you have to grasp a good degree, be insatiable, and in the end you will kill yourself. ”

"What about the Xun family and the Zhong family?" Cao Zhang asked.

"It depends on their own choice, not only them, but also all the families in the world, if they want the family to live forever, they must learn to control their greed and know how to make trade-offs. The Xun family and the Zhong family are doing well, so they can flourish for at least three generations, as long as they don't make mistakes, even if they occasionally decline, they can make a comeback. Unlike some families, they do not hesitate to take risks in order to realize their selfish desires......"

"Who is it?"

"What is this for, you ask? Ready to ventilate? Liu Xie glanced at Cao Zhang and asked.

"Holy Lord, look at what you said, I, Cao Zhang, am not a person who can only share hardships with wealth and nobility, as long as you say who wants to secretly make ghosts, I will immediately cut him down."

“…… I look so much like a faint king? Will it be punished without teaching? ”

"Holy Lord, you, I didn't mean that."

"Huh...... I know you didn't mean that, so I won't tease you. Seeing that Cao Zhang was a little anxious, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile and advised: "Don't make a public announcement about this matter, just know it in your heart." ”

“…… The end will understand. ”
