Chapter 526
"Lord, Zhao Yun is nowhere to be found."
"Missing? Nowhere to be found. Liu Bei staggered back, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "What about Zhuge Liang?" What about Zhuge Liang? He is a son of the family, and he doesn't want Liu Zhang to grow, he must have a way, he is resourceful, he must have a way. ”
"Zhuge Liang deceived the guards and left." The soldier whispered.
"What?" Liu Bei sat down on the ground.
"Zhao Yun is gone, Zhuge Liang has fled, the third brother is dead, the second brother is also dead, what did I Liu Bei do wrong, God you want to do this to me, God, is my Liu Bei going to perish like this? God, you are so unfair to me Liu Bei. ”
The sworn brother died, Zhuge Liang fled, Zhao Yun left, and became a loner, Liu Bei only felt that the future was dark and disheartened.
"God, open your eyes and see how much I, Liu Bei, have paid for the great cause, Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, which of them has paid more than me.
Cao Cao's family, Yuan Shao's family, Sun Quan's family, Liu Zhang's royal family, what am my Liu Bei? The weaver and the peddler, hahaha, I Liu Bei started the army with nothing, got to know the second brother and the third brother of the world's brave generals, and the road was bumpy.
Fighting the yellow scarf, licking the blood from the knife edge, cheekily participating in the eighteenth road princes to discuss Dong, suffering humiliation, three according to Xuzhou, living in Xuchang night and night, worried about the war, turned to Chang'an, and finally laid down a family business, now less than a year, vanished, God, how unfair are you to me? ”
Liu Feng walked out of the side door, and Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng: "Feng'er, why do you say this?" Can I Liu Bei be younger than Cao Cao and Liu Zhang? Am I not paying as much as they do? Have I endured less than they do?
Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, forcibly took the pastor of Jizhou with Bohai Taishou, and those famous generals and ministers in Jizhou were convinced. Cao Cao raised his troops. There is a lot of money in the family lineage. Manpower and material resources are gathered, generals and strategists come to vote, and the Sun family is in Jiangdong's prestige, otherwise how could Sun Ce quickly sweep Jiangdong? Sun Quan sits in the eighty-one counties of Jiangdong?
Liu Zhang was born in the royal family, succeeded as the pastor of Yizhou, led 100,000 troops, and had a complete range of civil and military generals.
But what do I Liu Bei have? Nothing, Feng'er, you say. If Liu Bei were to stand in the position of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang, would he be worse than them?
If Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang were also mat weavers and shoe sellers, starting from scratch, would they be able to achieve what they are today? It is said that Liu Zhang has not been a blockbuster for six years, if he Liu Zhang does not have Liu Yan's family business, can he be a blockbuster?
I, Liu Bei, have never complained before, I always feel that people will win the day, as long as I can endure it, I can persevere. If you don't give in, you will be able to succeed.
So I endured everything. All the ridicule, all the failures, every strategist and good general are carefully wooed, I know, Cao Cao can be suspicious, he can be thirsty for killing, he can kill in his sleep, but I can't.
Liu Zhang can remain silent for six years, can slaughter the world, and can risk the world's disapproval to implement the land order of the four imperial examinations, but I can't.
I can only come step by step, hand over all the power to Zhuge Liang, win the support of the clan, and let my subordinates give their best to reach the peak step by step.
But now, I have nothing, Feng'er, why do you say that? Why did I pay so much more than Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, but it was I who failed in the end?
Maybe now the people of Xiliang, the people of Shicheng, and the Sichuan army all think that I am Liu Bei despicable and shameless, but have they thought about my situation? If I had so much capital as Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, would I abandon my second brother, would I coerce the people, would I abandon my family, would I force the Yellow River across the Yellow River at all costs?
Would I do something like using hostages to defend the city?
No, I won't do it until I reach a dead end, I can endure anything in the plains, in the Tiger Prison, in Xuzhou, in Xuchang, because I know I still have a chance. Even if it's just so small that I can't see it, I still believe that I can make it.
But this time, if I don't abandon my second brother, don't coerce the people, don't abandon my family, don't force myself to cross the Yellow River, and don't use hostages to defend the city, the Liang army will be destroyed.
If Liu Zhang and Cao Cao are evenly divided today, I am defeated in Liangzhou, and there will be no chance, I Liu Bei is approaching, and I have been running for more than 20 years, can I continue to run? Is there still time for me to run? Is there still room for me to run around?
At the peak of the Liang army, there were more than 300,000 troops, and I knew that that was already my limit, and if I failed, I couldn't start all over again.
If it weren't for the dead end, would I have done those? Everyone in the world only knows how to stand tall, look at how shameless I Liu Bei is, how can they ever understand the pain of a person who has nothing and wants to achieve a great cause. ”
"Hmm......" Liu Bei couldn't help but shed tears, Liu Bei used to cry often, half of it was contrived, half of it was low, but this time it was really sad and desperate.
"But now, my Liu Bei has nothing, the great cause is gone, the reputation is gone, and it is destined to be left behind for 10,000 years, hehe, it's ridiculous that I Liu Bei has always thought that if I can unify the world, I must govern the people well, especially the people at the bottom, and let them live and work in peace and contentment.
Like Liu Zhang, the four imperial examinations, the land order, I am also willing, if I dominate the world, I will definitely be able to do it, I don't do it now, just because I don't have that qualification.
In the process of getting the world, I can only be hypocritical, pretentious, and compromised to the family, but no one understands the pain of the bottom people better than me Liu Bei.
I, Liu Bei, have great ambitions, have Li Min in my heart, have experienced hardships, and have been running for decades, but I have nothing in the end, and it ended dismally, Feng'er, you say, is God really blind. ”
Liu Bei said while crying, Liu Feng approached Liu Bei with a sword, and sighed: "The weaver of mats and sellers is the weaver of mats, you look at this world, the former princes or the current princes, which one is not from the world?" Famous generals and ministers?
If you are not from a famous family, who will serve you? Didn't you yourself swagger and deceive under the banner of Uncle Huang? That's the reason. ”
"What did you say?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng with teary eyes, feeling that Liu Feng's tone was a little wrong.
"It's a pity, I, Liu Feng, am also blind, and now I understand this truth, when I heard your reputation, and there was General Zhao Guan Daniel Zhang, I thought that you could succeed and give you a cheap son, it's really ridiculous."
Liu Feng walked towards Liu Bei, who was stunned: "Father, you failed to make me brilliant." Do me one last favor. Give me your head. I went to serve Liu Zhang, which is also a great achievement. ”
Liu Feng pulled out his sword with a "swish" and stabbed at Liu Bei, Liu Bei sat on the ground, kicked his leg violently, kicked Liu Feng to the ground, rolled and picked up the double-strand sword on the wall.
"Hmph, is it useful to resist?" Liu Feng sneered.
More than a dozen cool soldiers rushed in. Surrounded Liu Bei together, Liu Bei killed three people and was hacked to death by soldiers.
Outside, the shouts of the Sichuan army came, and Liu Feng cut off Liu Bei's head and strode out of the mansion, and a generation of heroes fell into the Yellow Spring.
…………………………
Liu Bei was killed by his adopted son Liu Feng, the Sichuan army occupied Guzang, and attacked the Yellow River crossing before and after. The former adversaries, the two largest warlords in Liangzhou. One is famous, the other is prestigious.
Han Sui moved beyond the horse. Xiliang was all tied, and the Sichuan army quickly controlled Xiliang and recruited a large number of Xiliang soldiers and horses.
At the beginning, Liu Bei controlled Xiliang, because Han Sui fled, at least half of the people's hearts were not recovered, and the Sichuan army quickly went north, without giving Liu Bei a chance to breathe, and there was no way to recruit troops at all.
In the bitterly cold Xiliang, you can't survive without joining the army.
…………………………
"Wang Shuang, you are from Longxi, and you have been stationed in Xiqiang for more than a year, do you know the location of Burning Dangqiang?"
"Do you know what the lord commands?"
At the same time that Ma Chao Han subdued Xiliang and recruited Xiliang soldiers, as soon as Liu Zhang entered Xiliang Mu's Mansion, he invited Wang Shuang to discuss secretly, Guan Yinping stood aside, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I'll go and pour you a cup of honey tea." ”
"What do you do? Just leave it to the kitchen. ”
"No, that, the leader of the Di people told me to take care of you."
Liu Zhang shook his head and said to Wang Shuang: "I want you to rush to the center of Shaodangqiang and Xiaopan Mountain immediately, Xiaopanshan Beigong Zhi is friendly with Shaodangqiang, if our army attacks Beigongzhi, Beigong Zhi will ask for help from Zhuodangqiang, you know how to do it." ”
"Attack Beigong?" Wang Shuang was surprised: "Why attack Beigongzhi, Beigong has no ambition, there is no threat to us, Cao Cao is now moving south, it is reported that the grain and grass have been transported to Sancheng to Chang'an, and the army has also arrived one after another, we should immediately go to Guanzhong and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao." When Cao Cao is defeated, it's not too late to come back and clean up the North Palace. ”
"So it's important to be quick." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice, and then sighed: "Wang Shuang, our situation is different from Liu Bei Cao Cao, if I were Liu Bei Cao Cao, I would definitely not attack Yumen Pass at this time, but you should know that we Jingyi are now doing business."
Why did those merchants support us so much in attacking Yongliang? Donating money and materials again, do you think they are patriotic? This is the same as their support for the Southwest Silk Road, not to cross the Yumen Pass and connect to the Western Regions.
The day before yesterday, Young Master Jin in Chengdu sent 4,000 stone grain and grass to our army, because he had a big business, this Yumen Pass has not yet opened, he has already contacted Hu Shang, this 4,000 stone grain is to ask me to give an order to attack Yumen Pass, if the Yumen Pass is not broken, his business is also yellow, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he will have to make a lot less.
I will not attack Yumen Pass because of a young master Jin, but this also shows the people's will of the merchants in Shuzhong, if we don't open the Yumen Pass, they will not be able to get benefits, and in the process of our decisive battle with Cao Cao, their support for us will be reserved.
On the contrary, as long as we open the Yumen Pass and their interests are guaranteed, they will definitely fully support us in the decisive battle with Cao Cao, because our interests are also their interests. ”
"Oh, I see." Wang Shuang nodded, frowned, and said, "What kind of business is so big for this Young Master Jin?" Actually sent 4,000 stone of grain? ”
"It is said that through the introduction of the merchants of Shache Kingdom, there are a large number of armor and weapons from Daqin, to be sold to him, the price is very cheap, and he can make a lot of money if he sells it to us, it is estimated that there are 7,000 pairs, this is a very large deal, the Jin family gathered several Shuzhong merchants, so that there is enough money to win this list.
But don't worry, the transaction is successful, we have the money to buy it, businessmen, it is the nature of profit-seeking, and it is also convenient for us to equip the army, Wang Shuang, you set off immediately, be sure to march secretly. ”
"Yes." Wang Shuang took the order and left.
Guan Yinping walked in from the door, holding two cups of honey tea in his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is this person like this, he left before drinking tea." ”
"Hehe, I'll drink both cups." Liu Zhang said with a smile.
A soldier hurriedly rushed in from outside: "Report to the lord, Chang'an is urgent." ”
"Read."
"Hangu Guanshou Mi Fang Jiang Jian opened and let the Cao army enter, the general of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun, and the general of the Liang army, Guan Yu, the general of the Liang army, Guan Yu's army defeated Wugong City, was killed by the rebellious army, Guan Ping Zhou Cang died in battle, and Guan Xing Guan Suo surrendered to our army.
Just when Xiahoudun killed Guan Yu and prepared to withdraw from Wugong City, the military division led a large army to besiege Wugong, and now the martial arts have been surrounded by water, Xiahoudun has wings and is difficult to fly, Cao Jun and my Jingyi Yunnan Prefecture departments are gathering in Guanzhong, and the military division asks the lord to decide. ”
"Smack." Two cups of honey tea fell to the ground and shattered.
"Guan Yu's army was defeated in Wugong City and was killed by the chaotic army." Guan Yinping's head banged, and the whole world went black.
Liu Zhang stepped forward to hold Guan Yinping, who was about to faint, carefully put it on the chair, and said to the soldiers: "Liu Bei ordered Cao Jun to enter the customs, shouldn't he pass Guan Yu?" How could Guan Yu fight Cao Cao. ”
After all, Cao Cao had a great favor to Guan Yu, Liu Zhang and Guan Yinping both felt that since it was Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu should surrender to Cao Cao, Guan Yinping had been worried, and he still had to fight Guan Yu.
But unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was the news of my father's death.
"It is reported that Liu Bei's order bypassed Guan Yu and was directly passed on to Jiang Jian Mifang."
Liu Zhang instantly knew what was going on when he heard this, waved his hand to let the soldier go down, and gently slapped Guan Yinping's back, Guan Yinping suddenly leaned on Liu Zhang's arms and cried loudly, heartbroken and heartbroken.
"How could this be, my father was invincible, how could he die, why did Liu Bei, why did Liu Bei do this, his father is his sworn brother, how can he push his father to a dead end with his own hands......"
Tears wet Liu Zhang's clothes, Liu Zhang only felt that the woman in his arms was so weak, from Guan Yinping's crying, he knew that Guan Yinping had deep feelings for his father, after all, Guan Yinping was only fifteen years old, how could he bear it easily when his father left suddenly.
"Yinping, don't cry, I believe that your father is in the spirit of the sky, and I hope you can be happy, Guan Yunchang is also a figure I admire, Yinping rest assured, I will definitely avenge your father, the military general died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud was returned, your father was loyal and righteous in this life, and he died a heroic death, and he will be famous through the ages."
"When I was a child." Guan Yinping said sobbing in Liu Zhang's arms. (To be continued......)
