Chapter 302: Ssangyong will meet Changsha
The building will fall, and each will make a living. Whether it is Sun Quan or Liu Bei, they all know that Liu Xie will not spare them easily, so they have no illusions, and they are determined to resist Liu Xie to the end with the idea of dragging their backs when they are dying. But not all of the military generals who had followed Sun and Liu before were determined to fight Liu Xie to the end.
The surrender of Zhuge Liang and Li Yan seemed to remind them that they had other options than to accompany Sun Liu to Huangquan. There are those who are active and began to find a way to secretly communicate with the court, and there are also those who know that they cannot be tolerated by the court and stand firmly on Sun Liu's side, but most people still have a wait-and-see attitude, and they don't want to buy and leave too early, it is a matter of their lives, so they bet rashly, and if they want to regret it, they have no chance.
Liu Xie doesn't like the wall grass, although he understands the cautious hardships of those wall grass, it doesn't mean that he can accept those wall grass and make a living under his rule in the future. No one in this world is indispensable! Those who didn't hurry up to bet at this time have actually been on Liu Xie's blacklist, even if they won't deliberately embarrass these people in the future, but above the court, there is no place for this part of the people. And these people didn't know about it, and they still had illusions, thinking about how to sit on the ground with the court in the future.
The defeat of the Sun-Liu coalition means that the time for the unification of the world is gradually approaching, and the Han army that has received Liu Xie's will has attacked one after another, scrambling to be the first. After the chaos, there must be great governance, and great governance means that the imperial court will suspend the use of foreign troops, and the only way for generals to be promoted is to make contributions on the battlefield. At this time, the war to recover the southeast of the Han Dynasty may be the last chance to make great achievements, and if anyone fails to grasp it, it will take at least ten years before it is possible to wait for the opportunity.
Although Liu Xie will not do the stupid thing of putting swords and guns into the warehouse and putting the horses in Nanshan, the next policy of the imperial court will definitely be to recuperate and recuperate, and will not start the war lightly.
Not fighting a war is a good thing for most people, but it is not a good thing for a general who has the heart to make a contribution. If there is no war, it means that there is no merit, and it means that the generals are likely to face the crisis of unemployment. So in order not to regret it in the future, the generals used all their strength this time.
Liu Xie didn't want to leave regrets, so after learning that Liu Beibing was coming to Changsha, he sent Zhuge Liang away and immediately took Cao Zhang to Changsha by boat. For Liu Bei, Liu Xie has always admired it, when it comes to the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, Liu Bei can be said to be the weakest, and he will not be able to pass Zhang at the beginning of his business, and he will not even have a place to live.
And because he has no fixed residence, he was even arranged into a broom star by Liu Xie, and he will be unlucky wherever he goes. Lu Bu was scolded as a slave with three surnames, and it can be counted as the people Liu Bei once took refuge in, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, it seems that all those who have been taken refuge in by Liu Bei have no good end, and only one Cao Cao has a hard life, which can be regarded as surviving, as for the others, they have already become dry bones in the grave for many years.
Liu Xie admires Liu Bei, not because of Liu Bei's experience, but because of Liu Bei's strong will, which is comparable to ordinary people. This is a classic case of a poor dick's successful counterattack. As Liu Xie, who was also a poor dick, Liu Bei made Liu Xie feel very kind. Of course, peers are enemies, Liu Xie will not let Liu Bei go because of this admiration, for Liu Bei, who is "unrepentant", Liu Xie can only sit back and relax.
Liu Bei is different from Cao Cao, although Cao Cao is also a ruthless person, but at least he is not bad to his relatives, and the safety of his relatives can also be regarded as a weakness of Cao Cao. And Liu Bei is different, since this person can say that women are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, it means that he doesn't care about the safety of his relatives, judging from his repeated defeats and only caring about his own life, this person is quite similar to Gaozu.
A person who has no weaknesses or handles is terrible. If you don't want to, you're just! Liu Xie didn't feel that he could completely subdue Liu Bei, and he didn't have a handle that was enough to make Liu Bei have some worries, and there seemed to be no better way to deal with Liu Bei's unstable factor than killing.
Let Liu Bei be in a safe corner and be the emperor of Jiaozhou? Are you kidding? Although the population of the Han Dynasty at this time was far less than in its heyday, with the advent of the peaceful and prosperous era, the population was bound to increase significantly, while the amount of land was limited. Rather than waiting until the future to declare war in the south in order to have enough land for future generations to feed themselves, it is better to take advantage of Liu Bei's weakness to do it once and for all, so as not to leave the trouble to future generations and grandchildren.
At this time, the Han Dynasty was not a later generation, no matter what he did, there were countless constraints on his side, and he had many concerns if he wanted to solve it by force. At this time, it is Liu Xie, the son of heaven, who has the final say, no matter what humanitarianism you have, what great power responsibilities you have, a big fist is the last word!
There is no one around the Han Dynasty, and if you don't take advantage of this time to expand, will you wait for those small savage countries around you to develop and then conquer them? Silly, right?
Liu Xie's ambitions are very great, and if it were not limited by the means of transportation, it would not be impossible to deploy military force around the world. However, Liu Xie also knew that it was just his own fantasy, even if the Chi Road was built all over the country now, the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence on land could only stop if it expanded to the border passes of the Western Regions, and no matter how far it was, the pressure on logistics was too great, and the gains outweighed the losses.
However, although the forces on land can only stop in the Western Regions, there are not so many restrictions on the sea. When most people were still staring at their own one-third of an acre of land, Liu Xie had already begun to consider entering the sea. First the inshore, then the deep sea. And the three Hans and Wajima, which are closest to the Great Han, have become Liu Xie's first targets.
The importance of the land of Samhan is not obvious at this time, after all, there is no foreign force that can invade the Han at this time, but once this kind of foreign force really appears, the land of Samhan is a springboard to enter the Han. Moreover, Liu Xie was influenced by later generations, and he had no good impression of the stick and the Japanese people, one always wanted to rob his ancestor to go back to be his ancestor, and the other even committed a lot of blood debts and still refused to admit it. In the future, Liu Xie can't do anything about these bastards, but now, Liu Xie is a knife wielder, and if he can't destroy you bastards, then destroy the ancestors of you bastards, and see how you bastards come out to harm people.
Compared with the Han at this time, whether it is Sanhan or Waren, it is equivalent to the difference between a giant and a child. Now that the Sanhan people are about to be wiped out, the Sanhan people who are lucky enough to hide in the depths of the dense forest are about to return to the primitive society, and the Japanese are the next ones. Don't think it's safe to hide on the island, as long as you choose the right time to go to sea, it won't be difficult to get to Wajima.
Except for confidants like Sima Yi and Jia Xu who know Liu Xie's thoughts, others don't know, and when Sima Yi and Jia Xu learned that Liu Xie had begun to prepare to commit crimes against the Japanese people, they were not only admired but also admired. No one wants to do nothing, although with the merits they have made, not only can they enjoy glory and wealth for a lifetime, even if they are children and grandchildren, they can also enjoy inexhaustible.
But people can't just eat and wait for death in life, they always have to do something to prove their worth. Especially wise people like Sima Yi and Jia Xu, they are even more reluctant to live their lives like a day, repeating themselves over and over again, without any new ideas. Seeing that the world was about to be unified, Sima Yi and Jia Xu also began to think about their future, but they didn't expect that Liu Xie had already thought about it for them.
Liu Xie's choice to meet Liu Bei at this time can be regarded as his own wish. But Liu Bei didn't know Liu Xie's thoughts, and when he saw the banner representing the Son of Heaven erected at the head of Changsha City, Liu Bei was shocked at first, and then he didn't believe it, and when he saw Liu Xie appear in the city, Liu Bei had to choose to believe it.
A powerful Son of Heaven is terrifying, and when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed. At this time, Liu Xie is not a wreck living in the shadow of Dong Zhuo back then, Liu Xie at the moment has millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, strategists like rain, and fierce generals like forests. Usually I can't see Liu Xie's real person, and some ordinary and bold people don't take it seriously, but when Liu Xie appeared in Changsha City, no one outside the city Liu Beijun didn't feel afraid. Liu Xie's words can really determine life and death. The feeling that life is not under your control is uncomfortable.
Liu Bei suddenly regretted a little, he knew that Liu Xie was back, and he said that he would not bring troops here. Before the fight started, half of their morale had dropped, and if there was any more accidents, then this battle would really be impossible to fight.
"Brother, little brother, please fight." Zhang Fei suddenly said to Liu Bei.
"Yide, don't mess around." Liu Bei frowned and shouted lightly.
"Brother, the younger brother is not messing around, but if he doesn't do something now, the officers and men in the army will collapse without a fight." Zhang Fei also reminded Liu Bei in a low voice.
Being reminded by Zhang Fei like this, Liu Bei paid attention to the state of the officers and men in the army, the situation was more serious than he imagined, and some people had already begun to prepare to apply oil on the soles of their feet.
"Yide, be careful." Liu Bei whispered.
"Brother, don't worry, the person in this world who can take my life has not yet been born." Zhang Fei laughed loudly, urged the horse to rush to the city, and shouted violently: "Zhao Zilong, dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”
"Zilong, Zhang Fei asked you outside the city, are you going?" Liu Xie smiled when he saw this and asked Zhao Yundao on the side. Zhao Yun hurriedly replied: "The last general is invited to fight." ”
"Be careful, if Zhang Yide wants to boost morale, he will do his best." Liu Xie admonished, and then ordered Zhao Yun to fight.
"Zilong, be careful today." Seeing Zhao Yun urging the horse to come, Zhang Fei shouted loudly and urged his crotch to dismount and come forward. And Zhao Yun's mood today is not very beautiful, and anyone who sees the mastermind behind him who was preparing to frame him not long ago will be in a bad mood.
Just two days before Liu Xie arrived in Changsha, Zhao Yun received a letter, I don't know who sent it, and when Zhao Yun returned to the account, he found a letter on his bed. After opening it, he realized that it was Liu Bei who wrote the letter, and seeing the traces of smearing on the letter, Zhao Yun couldn't help but think of what Xu Shu said to him before.
Zhao Yungang wanted to go to Xu Shu, but he didn't want Xu Shu to come in at this time, and he was not the only one who came in, and Xiang Pet came with him. However, at this time, Xiang Pet was tied up by five flowers, and there were two knife and axe hands standing behind him, as long as Xiang Pet moved slightly, his head would immediately fall to the ground.
"Zilong, how's it going? I guessed it right. Seeing the letter in Zhao Yun's hand, Xu Shu asked with a smile.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and handed Xu Shu a letter: "It's exactly as Yuan Zhi said, it's not bad at all." But what's wrong with General Xiang Pet? ”
"Huh...... Zilong, do you know who sent this letter to your account? ”
"Could it be him?"
"That's right, after returning to the city a few days ago, I ordered someone to secretly monitor near your tent, and it turned out that someone sneaked into your tent, in order to avoid startling the snake, the person I arranged at that time did not make a noise, but secretly followed, and found that the person entered the mansion of the Xiang family. You also know that in addition to this Xiang Pet's stubbornness, the rest of the Xiang family has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so I took someone to take it down. ”
“…… So what did you bring him here for? Zhao Yun asked puzzled.
"It's not to make him die, so that he can understand that his Liu Yuanjun's discordant plan is too crude, and it is really a little trick that can't be put on the table. Thinking that talking nonsense in front of the two armies, and then having someone send a deliberately smeared letter can make my Han An army suspicious? This Liu Bei also underestimated the weight of the saint's pair of Zilong. ”
"......" to the pet did not say a word, the matter has come to this point, there is no point in saying anything, in vain, but it is contemptuous, it is better to be silent is golden.
"Xiang Pet, my lord is the son of today, representing the orthodoxy of the Han family, you Xiang family except you are awakened, why are you still obsessed?" Zhao Yun asked Xiang Pet in confusion.
“…… Eat the king's luck, and share worries for the king. Xiang Pet only said eight words and then kept silent. However, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu understood what he wanted to express, and after Liu Xie arrived in Changsha, Xu Shu told Liu Xie about this matter as a joke, and by the way, he also asked Liu Xie how to deal with the stubborn Xiang Pet.
"What? Yuan Zhi wants to intercede for his pet? Liu Xie asked with some surprise.
"Back to the saint, although this Xiang pet is a little confused, he is also a loyal person, far better than those who see the wind and steer the rudder, it's a pity to kill it like this." In the face of Liu Xie's inquiry, Xu Shu did not hide anything and told the truth.
"Huh...... Since Yuan Zhi wants to spare his life, then I will hand him over to you to dispose of. Anyway, now the general trend is about to be set, and whether to kill or not is not a pet has nothing to do with the overall situation. Liu Xie said to Xu Shu with a smile.
"Wechen is grateful to the saint on behalf of the pet."
"Don't be busy thanking you yet, Yuan Zhi, don't think I'm pouring cold water on you. You plead for your pet, and your pet won't necessarily lead you to save your life. Since he is dead set on Liu Bei, have you figured out how to arrange him? ”
"Back to the saint, as you said, the life and death of Xiang Pet has nothing to do with the overall situation. Since it has nothing to do with the overall situation, it doesn't matter if he goes or stays, when Liu Bei is killed, Weichen will let him go home, and then he will be disarmed and returned to the field or martyred for Liu Bei, what does it have to do with me? ”
