Chapter 563: Liu Bei's Destination
When Sun Quan surrendered, he felt that he was not happy, and he couldn't let Liu Bei feel better, so he gave Liu Bei to Gao Wei as a gift, and by the way, he added problems to Gao Wei, killing two birds with one stone.
Now that Liu Bei is being escorted to Yecheng, he is very depressed in his heart; The sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the rush of life is always empty.
Now there is only Jian Yong left by his side; Even the loyal Chen Zhi left him because he couldn't see hope.
As for the next life, he is not worried, he is Uncle Liu Huang, and he has handed over the army, I believe that Duke Wei will not treat him badly, at least he has not had a conflict with the Gao Shun forces.
Gao Shun received the letter in advance, and he was happy about Liu Bei's arrest, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's family are really fated, no matter in history or now, the relationship is so close.
Xi Zhicai has always been very unfriendly to these careerists, and suggested: "The lord was too merciful before, and the sanctions against careerists were too weak, in this case, how to curb the people who rose up?" The winner is king, and the defeat is a rich man, how can it be feared? β
Gao Shun asked with a smile, "What does Zhicai plan to do with Sun Quan and Liu Bei?" β
Xi Zhicai said: "Killing, not killing is not enough to deter the world, not killing is not enough to comfort those ordinary people who died because of them, otherwise if there is a chance, they will make trouble again, and it is impossible to prevent it." β
Gao Shun retorted: "There were careerists before, that is because the world has been in chaos, and there are many princes who take saving the world as their own responsibility, and they cannot be generalized. β
Xi Zhicai asked, "Then how is the lord going to deal with Sun Quan and Liu Bei?" β
Gao Shun's inner secret cannot be shared with outsiders, and he can only steal joy in his heart; In history, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan stood on three legs and fought each other, so that the people in the world were sharply reduced, but the three of them were controlled by him in this world, and his pride was incomprehensible.
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Shun said: "Sun Quan's family, let's give them a small manor, so that they can live in peace under surveillance; As for Liu Bei, he is Uncle Liu Huang, we can't deal with it, I mean it's better to send it to the imperial court, just let the imperial court have a headache. β
Jia Xu praised: "Haha, what a clever plan for the lord!" β
As soon as Xi Zhicai heard this, he instantly understood Gao Shun's intentions.
Everyone discussed for a while, and decided to directly place Sun Quan's family in a small manor in Gaotang County, Liu Bei was directly transferred from Qingzhou to Changsha, neither of them had to come to Yecheng, Gao Shun didn't want to see them, and he didn't have the intention of humiliating the loser.
The letter to Qingzhou Mufangliang was drafted by Xi Zhicai, and someone was sent to Qingzhou quickly.
At this time, Li Ru was worried, and with his IQ, he didn't know how to deal with it next.
Jiaozhou Shixie's family and Sun Quan surrendered to Gao Shun's forces one after another, and even Zhonglang's general Chang Feng surrendered to Gao Shun's forces, he suspected that Gao Shun secretly arranged it to join forces with Qin Guan to attack Jiaozhou, otherwise why would Gao Shun become the biggest winner?
Now there are only three forces left in the world, including him, Duke Wei and Qinguan in Jiangdong, and he is surrounded by Duke Wei and Qinguan, what makes him even more shocked is that Gao Shun, Duke of Wei, has a very close relationship with Qin Guan, and even suspects that Qin Guan has already moved closer to Duke Wei, otherwise Qin Guan would not have given Qujiang County and Fujian County to Gao Wei, let alone Yang Hong and Ji Ling and their army to Gao Wei.
At this time, he had to admire the resourcefulness of Gao Shun's forces that he could not compare, and he had the land of the world through only a few small-scale battles, and he and Dong Zhuo had a bad reputation, but they could only live in a corner of the world after fighting all their lives, and they could not even protect themselves, but their good reputation made Gao Shun earn.
What's more, Duke Wei rarely waged wars and actively developed the locality, and now he has enough money and food, strong soldiers and horses, and strong strength, even if he and Qin Guan jointly deal with it, he is not an opponent; If he still has the idea of rowing the river and ruling now, it is simply a joke; Especially after Gao Shun occupied Jiaozhou, they had no capital to divide the river and rule.
How long he and the court can exist depends not on the strength of the court, but on the mood of Wei Gong Gaoshun.
Soon, Wei Gong Gao Shun sent Liu Bei to Changsha, and Li Ru's mind became active again, feeling that this was a good opportunity to befriend Wei Gong.
At the beginning, in order to help the imperial court suppress Liu Bei's rebellion, the Duke of Wei actually funded the imperial court with millions of stone of grain, which shows that the Duke of Wei disliked these careerists very much, and sent Liu Bei to Changsha County this time, nominally having no right to deal with Uncle Liu Huang, but actually wanted to remove Liu Bei with his hands.
He and Dong Zhuo did a lot of evil things, not just one more, so he decided to behead Liu Bei for treason after he arrived, to warn the world, and to befriend Gao Shun, the Duke of Wei.
Li Ru first forced Emperor Liu Xie to issue an edict to remove Liu Bei from the position of general, abolish his status as a clan, and proclaim his rebellion to the world, paving the way for Liu Bei's beheading.
Wang Yun and the others naturally understood Li Ru's plan, so they tried their best to stop it, but they couldn't because of their weakness.
After Liu Bei arrived at the boundary of Changsha County, the officers and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately put Liu Bei in a prisoner car and sent him all the way to Changsha City with great fanfare.
Liu Bei's heart is like ashes, how can he survive if he falls into the hands of Li Ru?
kept cursing in his heart, Gao Shun'er was too vicious, and Sun Quan couldn't die well.
In terms of the selection of Liu Bei's beheading, Li Ru also took great pains, and finally chose Lu Bu to serve as the prison officer.
The excuse is above board, so that Lu Bu can't refuse; At the beginning, Liu Bei fled from Lu Bu and rebelled, and now he gives Lu Bu a chance to be ashamed.
Lu Bu had no choice but to take this errand.
Li Ru's move was to make LΓΌ Bu bear the notoriety of beheading Liu Bei, so that he would not tolerate people who were loyal to the Han, and to drive a wedge between LΓΌ Bu and Wang Yun and others, and also to dispel Emperor Liu Xie's good impression of LΓΌ Bu.
Liu Bei has been in the court for many years, known for his kindness, and when he was beheaded, many people couldn't bear it, and when he was beheaded, they all went outside the city to watch and pray for him.
Lu Bu was aggrieved in his heart, sitting on the prison platform without saying a word, his face was pale.
Liu Bei knew that the time of death had come, so he no longer had scruples, and scolded loudly, first scolding Dong Zhuo and Li Ru for being chaotic ministers and thieves, and everyone in the world could be punished and then quickly; Later, he scolded Gao Shun for hypocrisy, and allowed Dong Zhuo and Li Ru to commit murder, but he did not come to rescue the court, and he was ashamed of the world; scolded Sun Quan again, selfish, black-hearted, poisonous, taking advantage of the righteousness of the world, but doing the warlord troubles, imprisoning him, destroying his important responsibility as a Qing monarch, and burying the court, he is a sinner of the Han Dynasty, and his heart can be punished and must not be forgiven.
After all, they have known each other for a long time, and Liu Bei's scolding is very happy, which is in line with Lu Bu's intentions, so he is not in a hurry to kill Liu Bei and let him abuse him.
After Wang Yun and others sent Liu Bei a severed head wine and a severed head meal, Liu Bei was full of wine and food, and the time was almost past noon, and it could not be delayed any longer, Lu Bu announced the execution.
The executioner was very sharp and skilled, and his hand was up and down, and Liu Bei's neck had been cut off, leaving only a little skin to connect with.
Liu Bei's body was hastily buried in a mass grave in the south of the city after being exposed to the sun for three days.
Subsequently, Li Ru ordered the imperial court to announce it to the world.
When Gao Shun learned the news of Liu Bei's beheading, he was greatly excited, and secretly ordered Xu Lin in Xuzhou to pay tribute to the imperial court with millions of stone of grain.
In view of the relationship between Xu Lin and Gao Shun, Li Ru knew that this was Gao Shun's instruction, which was to repay him for killing Liu Bei, so he repaid Li with peach and asked the imperial court to canonize Xu Lin as the Marquis of Dongyang.
When Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had been beheaded, he was afraid that if this happened, their Sun family would not be allowed to be in Shilin, and they would be excluded and their descendants would be harmed; In his heart, he was like Liu Bei, constantly abusing and cursing Gao Shun for being vicious, killing people with a knife, and harming the Sun family.
Sure enough, as Gao Shun thought, the Wang and Hou surnamed Liu in Qingzhou and Yanzhou were full of hatred for the Sun family; Those who are loyal to the Han family are helpless against Gao Shun, but they can suppress, ostracize, and isolate the Sun family.
