Chapter 109: Slap in the face
(Three more arrived, and thanks to Qingmo Yuxuan for the reward.) )
Public Security City.
In the newly built city, houses are being built everywhere, and carriages are flowing at the city gates, and horse-drawn carriages carrying the families of the Haoqiang clan are flowing in, and these people with status from all over the seven counties of Jingxiang will move into this new city built for them.
In General Zuo's mansion, which was completed in a hurry a few days ago, Liu Bei was holding a banquet with Zhu Wenwu to celebrate, and everyone, including Liu Bei, had a smug smile on their faces.
As Zhuge Liang expected, Zhou Yu euphemistically refused to give Liu Bei an inch of land in Nanjun for various reasons, but after Sun Quan's paperwork, Zhou Yu could only reluctantly give up Jiangnan Land.
Liu Bei then renamed the mouth of the Youjiang River where he was stationed as Gong'an City, and expanded the city on a large scale, intending to make this place his "capital" before he got Jiangling City.
"Lord, Jingxiang heroes from all over the country heard that after the lord got the south bank land, it was a group of people who came to join him, and there was a lot of traffic outside the public security city, so it was a lively one."
"Yes, I also sent someone to inquire about Jiangling City, don't look at what Jingxiang's heart is, but it is deserted, and few scholars and heroes have defected, and it can't be compared with the bustle of the public security city of the lord."
"What if the Wu people get Jiangling, how can they have such appeal as the lord of the lord."
Mi Zhu and the others said a word, praising Liu Bei on the one hand, and belittling Zhou Yu on the other, and their faces were full of pride.
Liu Bei smiled lightly, although he did not say anything, but occasionally a bit of smug look flashed in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang's face was the usual light style, and he shook his feather fan and said: "Although Zhou Lang has conquered Nanjun, the military power is invincible, but no one in Jingxiang has obeyed him. Without the support of the local natives, it will be difficult for the Wu people to withstand the pressure from Xiangyang for a long time, and as long as the time is ripe in the future, Liang will use some means to let Zhou Lang give up Jiangling to the lord. ”
Lianwu resisted Cao, took the opportunity to take the four southern counties, plus the plan to take the south of the Yangtze River, which move was not Kong Ming's strategy, Liu Bei at this moment, of course, was convinced of Zhuge Liang's predictions, and raised his glass at the moment and laughed: "The military division is like a god, how can there be a reason not to obey the plan." ”
Drink it all, the lord and the minister are happy, and they are happy.
When the banquet was in full swing, Liu Bei was drunk and in a very good mood, and he staggered to his feet, holding a glass full of wine, ready to make a morale-boosting speech.
Before the words that had been brewing into his mouth could be spoken, he suddenly saw Sun Gan hurrying out with a solemn expression, shaking a silk book in his hand and shouting: "Lord, something is wrong!" ”
Sun Gan's "big thing is not good" blocked Liu Bei's generous words that had reached the gap between his teeth, which was really a big surprise. Liu Bei's face was displeased, and he grinned: "Why are you so flustered? ”
"The eldest prince...... He...... He ......, "Sun Qian didn't know if it was because he was nervous or excited, and it was difficult to speak for a while.
"What's wrong with Ah Feng, say." Liu Bei sat down, looking a little impatient.
"The eldest son, he's reversed!"
As if time had frozen, the entire banquet hall became silent for a moment, and the expressions on everyone's faces were as if they had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
Clang!
The wine glass in Liu Bei's hand fell to the ground, and the crisp impact broke the frozen time. Liu Beiteng jumped up, stared at Sun Qian with wide eyes and shouted, "What did you say? ”
"The eldest prince he...... He supported Liu Qi as the pastor of Jingzhou in Changsha, appointed himself as the general of Zhennan, and announced that he would judge ...... with the lord" Sun Qian swallowed for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely, "Announcing the severance of father-son relations with the lord!" ”
It was as if a thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting Liu Bei dizzy, and the thunder and lightning pouring into his body from the top of his head ruthlessly impacted Liu Bei's heart, making him want to break in pain.
Mi Zhu, who was also surprised, hurriedly said: "Liu Qi has obviously been ...... by fire Obviously in our hands, how can it appear in Changsha? ”
Sun Qian said with a bitter face: "I'm also very strange, but the news we received proves that Liu Qi is indeed true, as for why he is with the eldest prince, there is no way to know." ”
"Don't worry, the eldest prince, why did he betray the lord, there must be a reason, you might as well explain it in detail." Although Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised, his emotions were obviously much calmer than others.
Sun Qian then told the detailed information on the spot, but at the end of the "Letter of Righteous Annihilation" announced by Liu Feng to the world, he did not dare to read it out in public, so he had to present it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei held the 100-word generous and tragic statement in his hand, all of which exposed his Liu Bei's hypocrisy and cruelty, how he brutalized Liu Qi and his son, forcing Liu Feng to be righteous, and in order to survive, he had to announce the severance of father-son relationship with him Liu Bei.
This so-called "Letter of Righteous Annihilation" is simply a naked slap in the face to Liu Bei, if it is spread, it will have an unprecedented impact on Liu Bei's reputation, at this moment Liu Bei's psychology is like being hit hard by a whip stained with water, that kind of pain makes him more uncomfortable than the sadness after the defeat of Changbanpo.
"Rebel! Brute! ”
In a fit of rage, Liu Bei violently overturned the case in front of him at the bottom of the stairs. Most of the people present have followed Liu Bei for more than ten years, and for so many years, he has never seen him so angry and out of control, and they are all terrified, and they all dare not even take a breath.
Under this anger, the tumbling qi and blood rushed to his head, like a thread, suddenly linking all the memories in Liu Bei's mind, and suddenly, he suddenly realized.
He understood that Mi Zhu's blatant accusation at the Xiakou meeting was just deliberately provoked by that kid.
He understood that the fire that burned Liu Qi to death turned out to be premeditated by him.
He understood the Changsha Expedition, knowing that Mi Zhu wanted to kill people with a knife, why didn't that kid flinch.
He also understood that since the defeat of Changsha, that kid has expanded the army, tuntian, and recommended officials, and everything he has done in the past year is all preparing for today's rebellion.
And he was like a clown, completely toyed with by that kid.
Shame, great shame!
Liu Bei's eyes inadvertently glanced at Mi Zhu, at this moment, his brother-in-law, his face was shocked, but he flashed with a certain pride, as if to say to him: Look, I have warned you a long time ago, and finally regret not believing me at the beginning.
Mi Zhu's eyes stimulated Liu Bei even more, and he remembered what he said he was self-righteous, saying that he had his own means to hold Liu Feng in his hands, so why not be afraid that he would become a disaster.
Annoyed and angry, Liu Bei angrily drew his sword and roared angrily: "Great rebellious beast, I, Liu Bei, must slaughter you with my own hands!" ”
