Outside the window, the wind and rain were urgent, and the stamens were blown all over the ground overnight, Liu Bei got up early in the morning and stood under the cloister to look at this bleak scenery, his eyes were full of sadness.

"Huh...... The spring breeze and spring rain are sad, maybe it won't be long before the end of the lonely will be like this flower devastated by the wind and rain, right? ”

Liu Bei sighed, and followed the corridor to sit alone under the gazebo, but he was soaked by the rain on the stone bench but he didn't realize it.

The marble table in the middle was as smooth as jade, reflecting Liu Bei's somewhat haggard face, and under careful gazing, he found a few strands of white hair, which made Liu Bei even more sad, "Alas...... is old, and Lone has just reached the age of not being confused, and it seems that he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven! ”

The spring rain is dripping, and the war has stopped temporarily, and the monarchs and ministers of Bashu can also relax for a while. But even if you don't stop, what?

Facing the nearly 100,000 troops of Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin, and facing the menacing elite divisions of Liu Wei and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei has lost the strength to resist. No one can beat him, and whoever wins will not benefit him, so he can only close the city gate and wait for the east and west to merge. If you fight to lose both, maybe Liu Bei still has a little bit of life, but Shi Dakai's departure made Liu Bei even worse, it can really be said that the house leaks and is windy and rainy.

"Alas...... Leave it to fate! Liu Bei bent down to pick up the stamens that were blown off by the wind and rain under his feet, and sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps at the end of the corridor, and the guards guarding the door strode over in robes and hats, bent down and saluted, "King Qiqi." There was a Confucian priest outside the door who asked to see him, claiming to be Su Bao! ”

"Su Luo?" Liu Bei looked surprised. "Is it Su Luo from Luoyang?"

The guard bowed and said, "This gentleman didn't say where he was from, but he was confident that the king would summon him when he heard his name!" ”

"That being said. That must be Mr. Su Luo from Luoyang, there is no doubt about it! Liu Bei coughed, cheering up his spirits, "Take him to the back garden to see Lonely!" ”

After a while, a Confucian in a gray robe and holding a bamboo umbrella followed behind the guards, strode in front of Liu Bei, took the umbrella and bowed his hand and said: "King, don't come unharmed, Su Qin is polite!" ”

Liu Bei stared. It's not Su Qin, but who is it?

He bowed his hand slightly and said: "Mr. Su is really bold, how can your allies of the Western Han Dynasty be embarrassed by Liu Bei at present?" I didn't expect Mr. to dare to come alone, Liu Bei has to admire your courage! ”

"Haha...... The king's words are wrong to blame Su, the person who pressed the king step by step was not my Su Ji, nor was it the instruction of the Luoyang court, but Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin's own choice. If the king had agreed to form an alliance with us in the Western Han Dynasty, he wouldn't have been as embarrassed as he is today, right? Su Qin was not in a hurry, talking and laughing, looking like a reunion of old friends who had been separated for many years.

Liu Bei's eyes were like frost: "Don't mention the past." There is no regret medicine in the world, Mr. Su traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Chengdu, is he specifically here to make fun of Liu Bei? ”

Su Qin laughed: "The king has gone from being a weaver to a man in the world today, a hegemon. How can it be compared with ordinary people? Even if he borrowed Su Qin's 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to make fun of the king. It's just that I still want to ask, and I don't even want to serve a cup of tea. Is it hospitality? ”

The hostility in Liu Bei's eyes slowly dissipated, and he changed to a smile and said, "Mr. Su's sharp teeth are really good. Even if Su Qin is reincarnated, I'm afraid it's better to sigh to himself, right? Come with me to the study! ”

At the moment, Liu Bei led the way. Su Qin followed step by step from a distance of a foot, and walked towards the study one after the other.

The guards were a little worried about Liu Bei's safety, and followed behind and asked, "King, can you send more guards?" ”

Liu Bei said calmly: "No need, Lone Hao has also been fighting horses for many years and has fought on the battlefield." And the assassination of Gu is not any good for Mr. Su, you just retreat, no one is allowed to enter the house without Lone's summons! ”

"No!" The guard said yes and turned away.

Su Qin laughed loudly: "The king who knows me, it seems that Su Bao's trip to Chengdu has come to the right time!" ”

After a while, the two came to the study one after the other, and Liu Bei ordered someone to serve tea and sit down.

Su Qin took a sip of tea and went straight to the point: "At the beginning, the king rejected Su Bao's alliance proposal because he wanted to sweep Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin before Liu Wei's army pacified Jiaozhou, so he let me run away in vain." ”

"Not bad!" Liu Bei stroked his beard and sighed, "But what Gu didn't expect was that I underestimated Liu Deyu and Zhao Kuangyin, and after nearly three years of fighting, Gu not only did not pacify the rebels, but was given an inch by Liu Zhao and the two thieves, occupying more than half of the land in Bashu." ”

Su Qin put down the teacup and laughed: "Haha...... Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the king does not have to worry about it. Of course, Liu and Zhao's ability to use troops is indeed impressive, and even Yang Jian, Yang Su, Zhu Yuanzhang and others are full of praise, and it is not a shame for the king to lose to the two. ”

Liu Bei took a sip of the teacup, and listened to Su Qin continue, thinking that he had traveled all the way to Chengdu to sarcastically mock himself.

"In fact, the most fundamental reason for the king's failure is that he left the lives of Liu Zhang's father and son, if it weren't for the bad move, the king would not have fallen into such an embarrassing field." Su Qin was sitting in a precarious position, and with a sincere face, he analyzed the deep-seated reasons for Liu Bei.

Whenever he heard someone mention this stinky move, Liu Bei's heart felt a pang, and he knew that today, even if he was infamous for all generations, he would get rid of Liu Zhang's father and son. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and I finally lost the whole game by accident, and it's too late to say anything.

Su Qin took a sip of tea leisurely and continued: "Dawang Cheng also relies on the name of benevolence and righteousness, and losing is also dragged down by the name of benevolence and righteousness!" If Liu Zhang's father and son had been killed with one sword, there would have been no defeat today. As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, I think the king will no longer take care of his feathers everywhere in the future, and bury the root of the bane, right? ”

Liu Bei's face was like frost, and he said coldly: "Although Mr. Su laughed at it, who made Liu Bei make such a mediocre mistake!" ”

"Huh...... The king's words are serious, how dare Su Qin laugh at the king? This Bashu is really here to find a way out for the king, to help the king turn the tide and reverse the defeat! Su Qin stood up and saluted, with a sincere face.

Liu Bei sat motionless on his chair: "Now Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin have taken Yu County, and 100,000 troops are coming to the city. And Liu Wei has been breaking through all the way, and the army has conquered Jiangzhou, which is only seven or eight days away from Chengdu. And Zhuge Liang's vanguard troops in the south have already stationed troops outside the gate of Chengdu, Shi Dakai led his troops to leave, and the Han army from Yunnan can arrive in Chengdu in less than ten days and a half months. ”

Su Qin showed a treacherous smile: "King, we don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, your psychological calculations, Su Luo knows it well, and it is clear." ”

Liu Bei didn't argue, because he knew that his purpose was not complicated and profound, and a resourceful person with a little bit of brains could see through it, it was nothing more than wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the East and West Han fought to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"But I must warn the king that sooner or later this plan of yours will come to naught." Su Qin picked up the teacup and took another sip, and poured a basin of cold water on Liu Bei's head without hesitation.

Liu Bei's cheeks moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, and continued to listen.

Su Qin continued: "Looking at Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin's use of troops, it can be seen that these two are very steady and cunning, and they will never fight uncertain battles. Before, he stormed Ruoxian, in order to take Chengdu one step ahead of Liu Bian, and now Zhuge Liang's vanguard troops have come to Chengdu Gate, how can Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin still fight hard with Liu Bian? will definitely choose to withdraw from the Chengdu Plain, according to the dangerous fortresses such as Yuxian, Mianzhu, and Jiange, and when the time comes, the king will be left to Liu Wei, how can the king benefit from the fisherman? ”

After listening to Su Qin's analysis, Liu Bei couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and his face was like earth: "In this way, Liu Bei can only sit and wait for death." ”

"Huh...... If the king could only sit and wait for death, Su Luo would not have traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Chengdu! Su Qin smiled slightly, and gradually explained the purpose.

Liu Bei got up and arched his hand and said: "Liu Bei is really unwilling to lose all this he has now, and I hope that Mr. Su will guide him, if he can help Liu Bei get out of the quagmire, he will not forget his great kindness in this life!" ”

"The king doesn't have to be excited, Su Luo does have a small skill of carving insects, if the king is willing to take risks, you might as well try it." Su Qin returned the salute and motioned for Liu Bei to sit down and speak.

"Listen up!" Liu Bei looked respectful, as pious as a student.

Su Qin coughed, cleared his throat, and told the purpose: "I asked Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin to fight with Liu Wei first, and then retreated and retreated to Ruoxian." The king can surrender to Liu Bian, invite Liu Biao to enter Chengdu to settle the people, and set up a banquet to kill him, so that the Eastern Han army will definitely be in chaos. ”

"Liu Bian's subordinates are full of think tanks, and they will definitely not be so easily deceived." Liu Bei did not approve of Su Qin's suggestion.

Su Qin continued: "Then the king will prepare a fine wine to go out of the city to reward the three armies, and express his gratitude to Liu Wei, I want to ...... with the king's acting skills."

"Acting?" Liu Bei showed a dissatisfied look, feeling that Su Qin was ridiculing himself with this.

"Huh...... I lost my words, I think that with the performance of the king, I will definitely be able to gain Liu Bian's trust, and I mixed poison in the wine to poison Liu Bian, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty dragons have no leader. I will match the king with Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin to chase and kill, and I will definitely be able to drive the Eastern Han army out of Bashu. Su Qin drank the tea in the tea bowl and asked with a smile.

Liu Bei's cheeks twitched slightly, and finally slowly spit out a sentence: "Why don't you try it?" There seems to be no way out except for this step! (To be continued.) )
