Chapter 157: Tangled
With the support of a wealthy merchant family like the Mi family, Liu Bei can be regarded as having a small amount of money. Even though Mi Zhu followed Liu Bei out of Xuzhou City, this did not affect the Mi family's business. Therefore, Du Chen has reason to believe that with the support and help of the Mi family, Liu Bei's expression will definitely not be so simple.
The atmosphere of the whole banquet was very good, especially Du Chen, who was very open, and frequently toasted the generals under Liu Bei above the banquet. This made the advisers under Liu Bei very unbearable, and the amount of alcohol compared to Du Chen was really amazing, and the people present couldn't drink one Du Chen.
As for Du Chen's cousin, Liu Bei was worried. You must know that he has such a little team, and he doesn't want his team to be poached by Du Chen. Therefore, Liu Bei has always been by Du Chen's side to monitor Du Chen.
The banquet ended in a joy, and after Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were both carried down, only Du Chen and Liu Bei were left in the whole room.
Sitting behind the table, Du Chen said to Liu Bei with a little wine: "Xuande, from the time I met you to the present, I have always felt that you are a hero, and in this colorful troubled world, sooner or later you will have a place." ”
Du Chen's words made Liu Bei look a little uneasy, and he hurriedly said: "What kind of words did the adults say, what kind of hero are you talking about." If it weren't for the prime minister's help that day, the city would have been ruined and killed, and how could I have the life to drink here with the adults. ”
Du Chen said drunkenly: "Xuande's words are wrong, even if the reinforcements don't arrive, I'm afraid that Lu Bu can't do anything with you, after all, Xuande's command is like a fierce general." ”
"My lord is joking, Yun Changyide's martial arts are just so-so." Liu Bei smiled awkwardly. At this time, he felt very uncomfortable, because he didn't know whether Du Chen was drunk or not.
With a hiccup, Du Chen continued: "Dust knows. Xuande is a person with great ambitions, this little Pei Taishou will definitely not be what Xuande wants, what Xuande really wants, I am afraid that it is more than that. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei was immediately shocked. But he forced his expression. However, he didn't come out. He looked at Du Chen carefully, and then said: "My lord is strict, in Bei's opinion, he can have a city to live and live, and Bei is already very content." ”
"Hehehe, Xuande, you are lying, you must know that not long ago, Xuande was still in charge of Xuzhou's Yizhou Assassin History, but now. But it's just a small city, how can Xuande be satisfied. Du Chen's words were still vague, and he seemed to have been drunk for a long time.
"It made the adults laugh. Bei Zhen is not suitable to be a state assassin, otherwise he would not have let Lu Bu sneak attack Xuzhou, but he ended up like this. Liu Bei said with a bitter face, obviously, he was a little heartfelt this time.
For Liu Bei's words, Du Chen would not be deceived. After all, Du Chen knew Liu Bei's achievements later, and he also knew it. Liu Bei relied on his benevolence and righteousness to finally become the emperor. The more miserable such a person is, the more he should beware of him.
However, even if Du Chen was right with Spiegel in his heart, he could only hold all his thoughts in his heart. Liu Bei is not an easy person to deal with, and underestimated his words. It will definitely suffer at his hands.
Whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao, Liu Biao or Liu Zhang, they all suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Liu Bei. Even if it is a wise person like Cao Cao, he was eventually planted in Liu Bei's hands, so he looked down on any of Liu Bei's people. All suffered a big loss.
Knowing that he couldn't ask anything if he continued, Du Chen slowly stood up, shook his body and said, "Hehe, okay, don't talk about it, I'm really a little dizzy, but I really drank a lot of wine today." Fortunately, there was no war today, otherwise it would have been a great crime. ”
Du Chen's words were a little swirling, and he thought that it was obvious that he was really a little drunk.
Of course, Du Chen's words did not make Liu Bei feel puzzled, because how much wine Du Chen drank was what Liu Bei saw with his own eyes. Even though Du Chen's alcohol is outstanding, how can he not be drunk after drinking so much wine.
"Come on, send the adults back to the house to rest." Seeing that Du Chen was walking a little shaky, Liu Bei hurriedly called a few guards to help Du Chen towards the place where Du Chen was resting. After Du Chen was taken away, Liu Bei sat on the bed with a gloomy face.
Even though he didn't know how much Du Chen's words were drunk and how much were true, Du Chen's words really made Liu Bei worried. You know, now that you are under the fence, you can't get any bad news out.
He was weak, and even with the protection of the white-eared elite soldiers, he would never be able to escape from the heavy encirclement of Cao's army. Therefore, if someone says that they intend to rebel, even if it doesn't take a moment, they will be surrounded by Cao's army.
Du Chen's words seemed to compliment himself, but every sentence implied murderous intentions. If you're not careful, you risk falling into the trap. So just after talking to Du Chen, Liu Bei kept feeling that his back was cold, and cold sweat broke out.
In Du Chen's successive interrogations, Liu Bei had murderous intentions in his heart. After all, Du Chen's every word spoke in his heart, which shocked Liu Bei. After all, he has never revealed his ambitions to anyone or outside, and who will know except his absolute confidant.
He has always been very low-key, and some of the low-key ones were looked down upon by other princes. This is exactly what Liu Bei wants, as the so-called tree is a big move, only steady development is suitable for accumulating strength in troubled times.
Troubled times are a real touchstone, and only those who really survive through the years of grooming are the ones who can really influence the troubled times. Even though you are majestic now, you will die in the near future and the lights will go out, and it will not help at all.
Therefore, if you want to really achieve great things, survival is the most important thing. Only by living can there be hope, and only by living can we truly laugh at the troubled times. At this time, one win and one loss will not affect the overall situation at all.
After sending Du Chen away, Liu Bei's heart has been tormented. There were many times when he wanted to call Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to assassinate Du Chen. After all, what Du Chen just said has touched Liu Bei's bottom line, and Du Chen can't keep it.
But even if Liu Bei thought so, he would never dare to do so. Who is Du Chen, he is the captain of the dynasty, and he is the third duke. If he dares to assassinate Du Chen in a high-sounding manner, it will definitely be no different from rebellion.
Moreover, Du Chen is Cao Cao's confidant and the most important person under Cao Cao. If Du Chen had three long and two short things here, Cao Cao would definitely fall into madness because of Du Chen. When the time comes, he will definitely not be able to resist Cao Cao's madness, so he will be annihilated in Cao Cao's rage.
No matter what kind of idea it is, it doesn't conform to Liu Bei's principles. Therefore, all night, Liu Bei did not come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Of course, Liu Bei also thought about running, but some things were not completed, how could he run like this.
Of course, Liu Bei didn't sleep all night, and so did Du Chen. He was also worried about Liu Bei's affairs, and he didn't know how to treat Liu Bei.
If he is left alone, when he is in Kyushu, he will definitely be the biggest enemy of the Cao army. Because he hated Cao Wei, especially Zhuge Liang, he frequently led troops to attack Cao Wei and create incidents.
Throughout the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, it has always been Shu Han who provoked everywhere. Whether it was Zhuge Liang's crusade against Cao Wei or Liu Bei's crusade against Eastern Wu, it was Shu Han who launched another war. Although the reason for Liu Bei's attack on Wu was because Wu captured Jingzhou. But Soochow just took back the land it lent.
Moreover, the specific reason for the capture of Jingzhou by Eastern Wu remains to be investigated, and no one knows what the specific reason is that the reinforcements that Guan Yu is looking forward to have not arrived for a long time.
When the Three Kingdoms were established, Shu Han was very advantageous. Liu Bei not only occupies the crucial Jingzhou, but also holds Yizhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Shu Han did not have a reckless army, but recuperated his strength, it was he Liu Bei, not Cao Wei, who did not rule the world.
Therefore, Liu Bei is definitely the biggest enemy. After eliminating Liu Bei, the entire Han Dynasty can definitely be halted by half. Perhaps, the situation of the three kingdoms will not happen. But is this really good, Du Chen couldn't help but ask secretly. (To be continued......)
