Chapter 226: Death

Xu Ji, who was hiding in the shadows outside the small pavilion, was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect to hear something here that he hadn't even heard of: Guangwu's death? What's that? Why don't you have any impressions?

I only heard Guan Yu and Zhang Fei say in unison: "Guangwu's death? "Apparently I've never heard of it, so it should be a very confidential matter. Xu Ji naturally cheered up when he thought of this, because this matter was related to the royal family, and the royal family was undoubtedly his biggest stumbling block now, if he could learn some secrets of the Liu clan from it, it would naturally benefit a lot.

Liu Bei's voice came: "My Han Guangwu Emperor has already discovered the phenomenon of local wealthy clans flying and domineering at the beginning of the dynasty, but Emperor Guangwu is a person who misses the old, and knows that my Eastern Han Dynasty is not easy to come by, and these local wealthy clans have contributed a lot to my Han Dynasty. ”

Xu Ji sneered in his heart: What Emperor Guangwu of Han is unwilling to clean up, to put it bluntly, it is true that he is unable to clean up, hum, the foundation of Han Guangwu is the family family, if it shakes the power of the family, the Eastern Han Dynasty will be lost immediately, Emperor Guangwu of Han knows this, where will he shake the foundation of his rule? Liu Bei would put gold on his ancestor's face.

Zhang Fei snorted and said: "The bullies in the rampant township should be punished by everyone, that is not polite, my Guangwu Emperor is raising tigers." "This Zhang Fei is not confused.

Liu Bei sighed: "Of course Emperor Guangwu knew this, so before Emperor Guangwu ascended to the immortal realm, he left Guangwu's will. All the descendants of my Liu clan have kept this legacy in mind. ”

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "The eldest brother hasn't said the content of this testament yet, hmm." The eldest brother hesitated so much, whether it was because of this death that only the people of the Liu clan could know. If so, don't say it. ”

Liu Bei said categorically: "Where did the second brother say it? You and I brothers are righteous in Taoyuan, they can't be born on the same day and month in the same year, but I hope to die in the same year and month at the same time. Liu Bei's words were so touching that even Xu Ji, an outsider, was a little moved, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

Sure enough, Zhang Fei's fierce man's whimpering voice came: "Big brother ......" was obviously moved by Liu Bei's words, thinking about Zhang Fei, who had a beard like a steel wire, with tears in his eyes, and even tears exchanged so much that his beard was full of secretions. Xu Ji felt a chill. Although there was no voice from Guan Yu, Xu Ji could also imagine that this red-faced man was not much better than Zhang Fei.

After a while, Liu Bei said: "Emperor Guangwu has a will, all the descendants of my Liu family have the right and responsibility to turn the tide, because Emperor Guangwu knows that no dynasty can be immortal forever, how wise and martial my Han Gaozu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu are, but what is the last thing to come, and the great country has not been defeated by the descendants of the unscrupulous?" If Emperor Guangwu hadn't stepped forward, my Han country's country would have been stolen by Wang Mang's thief. That's why Emperor Guangwu has this will. It is to ask the descendants of my Liu family to spread out and multiply in all parts of my Han Dynasty, and if there is an opportunity, they will firmly control the local political power and find a way to curb the local power. If my Han dynasty is in power, there is a situation in which the powerful ministers are in power at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Even to the point of chaos in the world, then the children of the Liu family in various parts of my country will take advantage of the situation and emulate the great cause of Emperor Guangwu back then. Based on one state and one county, it absorbs heroes from all walks of life. Sweep Liuhe and exterminate Haoqiang. Kill the ministers, and then return me to a peaceful world. Those who can complete this mission can become the emperor and become a great treasure. As long as I am a descendant of the Liu family, I will keep this legacy in mind. Don't dare to forget for a while. ”

Liu Bei's words were finished, but it gave too much shock to the two groups of people inside and outside the pavilion, Xu Ji only felt that Liu Bei's words had a sense of earth-shattering, it turned out that there was such a death within the Liu clan, which was really unexpected by Xu Ji, but because of this, it proved more than what Xu Ji and Gao Shun said that day, it seems that now the feudal officials of the Liu family in all parts of the Han Dynasty are their potential enemies, maybe they can let others go, but this Liu descendants can not let go, Because Emperor Guangwu's last order broke all the scruples of the descendants of the Liu family.

As long as you think about it, these descendants of the Liu family can find a legitimate reason for their ambitions, and they can do everything to become the emperor, and they can also call it Guangwu's last life, which is really terrifying.

Liu Bei's voice came over again: "Now that the country of my Han is in turmoil, my Liu family's disciples are adhering to the Guangwu legacy, and they are developing their own strength in obscurity all over my Han Dynasty, and Lord Liu Yu is also one of them, so it is impossible for Lord Liu Yu to have an opinion on us at all, because Lord Liu Yu knows that what I Liu Bei did is for the sake of that Guangwu will." ”

Xu Ji, who was eavesdropping on the side, understood why Liu Bei was so sure that Liu Yu was not guarding against him at all, and did not suspect that there was any collusion between him and Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei did not complain at all because Liu Yu sent him to Chang'an to rescue Emperor Han Xian, let alone think that Liu Yu was squeezing him out or harming him by doing so, and asked him to die, it turned out that it was because of this Guangwu death.

Suddenly, Xu Ji remembered something, broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately sneered, obviously discovering and figuring out something, which made Chen Zhi and Wen Ping beside him look sideways.

Zhang Fei's voice came: "Big brother, if you said so, Lord Liu Yu would not be so merciful to General Gongsun Zhan, and he would have killed him a long time ago." Why do you want to be like this? ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Yide, you are really young and vigorous, and you don't understand what kind of person Lord Liu Yu is. Lord Liu Yu is the real descendant of the Yellow Emperor of Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, he did not take the will of Emperor Guangwu as a means of seeking personal gain, Lord Liu Yu will never forget the prosperity of my Han Dynasty, if Lord Liu Yu is for his own selfish interests, I am afraid that he has become the emperor at this moment, do not forget Yuan Benchu and Han Fu and others, have long wanted to put Lord Liu Yu on the throne, and with Lord Liu Yu's talent and ability, it is not an exaggeration to sit in the position of the emperor. ”

Zhang Fei fell silent. Naturally, he knew that what his eldest brother said was the truth, but Guan Yu couldn't help but say, "If it's according to what the eldest brother says." Now that Lord Liu Yu sent us to Chang'an to meet the emperor, isn't he crowding out and suspecting us? Liu Bei smiled: "Of course not, although I have a good relationship with my senior brother." For those who hurt my senior brother, I can't wait to peel off the skin and bones to relieve the hatred in my heart, but after all, my senior brother's position is different, this Lord Liu Yu is very clear, when the princes were in the alliance, didn't the three of us brothers go to negotiate with the senior brother on behalf of Lord Liu Yu about the local management of Youzhou? Zhang Fei remembered it and shouted: "I remember, it was the time when we and Xu Ji collided with each other in the camp of General Gongsun Zhan, right?" Liu Bei said indifferently: "That's exactly that." You should remember that my brother and I broke up unhappily, right? After all, a private relationship is a private relationship, and a business is a public business, and the two cannot be confused. At this point, Lord Liu Yu is reassuring to me. ”

Xu Ji nodded secretly, this Liu Bei really has an extraordinary set. I heard Liu Bei say again: "Actually, Lord Liu Yu asked the three of us brothers to enter Beijing to face the saint this time because of our love and care, don't be ignorant of what is good or bad." Why don't you think about the fact that this time you entered Chang'an just to meet the Holy Lord and not to fight, Lord Liu Yu didn't send others, but why did you send my three brothers to do it? ”

Guan Yu's voice came: "Could it be that Lord Liu Yu really wants to use troops against Gongsun Zhan?" Could it be that Lord Liu Yu is afraid that we will be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to be a person. Why did you send us to Chang'an? ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "It is still Yun Chang who knows the will of Lord Liu Yu, you must know that Gongsun Zan is my senior brother after all, if my senior brother died at the hands of Lord Liu Yu when I was in Youzhou." That is not good for my reputation Liu Bei, after all, as Gongsun Zhan's junior brother, he shouldn't have saved him. It was precisely on this basis that Lord Liu Yu asked me to send an envoy to Chang'an. Zhang Fei's voice suddenly realized from above.

Liu Bei said again: "Of course, Lord Liu Yu wants me to send an envoy to Chang'an for another purpose. Guan Yu snorted and said, "Wouldn't it be that I hope that the three of my brothers will rely on this mere 5,000 people to rescue the emperor?" That's more difficult than ascending to the sky, don't forget how many elite soldiers and fierce generals there are under Dong Zhuo, if Yide and I fight alone, no one will pay attention to it except Lu Bu. But eldest brother, you also know that this matter is not a child's play in martial arts, and it is reluctant to rely on our 5,000 people to protect ourselves, let alone welcome back the emperor. To do so is to send you to death. I hope the big brother thinks twice. ”

Liu Bei said lightly: "Yun Chang is too careful, of course Liu Yu hopes that we can welcome back the emperor." But Lord Liu Yu did not make us take risks, because the purpose of our trip was only to respond. Of course, it is impossible for us to rely on the five thousand people alone to attack the city, and then snatch the emperor back from the hands of traitors, you must know that the eldest son of Lord Liu Yu has already arranged everything in Chang'an, and we only need to cooperate with the eldest prince when we are there, and send the emperor back to Youzhou as soon as possible after rescuing him, and our task will be completed, but Lord Liu Yu still has a mission to hand over to me. After a pause, he said: "Lord Liu Yu once told me that his son is not a weapon, rather than handing over the fierce and dangerous place of Youzhou to his son, it is better to entrust this Youzhou to me. But I, Liu Bei, am now nameless, although according to my seniority, I am the uncle of the current emperor, but few people in this world know that even if I take over the history of Youzhou in the future as a foolish brother, I am afraid that there will be many people who will not be convinced. However, if it is different after being received by the emperor, it means that the position of my imperial uncle is recognized by the emperor, and if I want to take over the history of Youzhou Thorn, of course others can't find fault. That's why I said that Lord Liu Yu was thinking about the three of us. ”

Xu Ji didn't expect that Liu Bei would have the opportunity to become an imperial uncle so soon after taking refuge in Liu Yu, if this incident happened, Liu Bei would be very troublesome in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Ji's heart once again surged with murderous intentions, wanting to kill Liu Bei here, although there was a kind of subordinate on the side, Xu Ji couldn't take care of it much, now the two sides are far away from the barracks, and it seems that Liu Bei and his two brothers still have a lot to say, and they can't leave for a while, so Xu Ji really wants to send Wen Ping back to gather people to kill Liu Bei and the three of them secretly here.

At this moment, I heard a shout not far away: "Xuande Gong hurry back, Xuande Gong hurry back." Liu Bei responded when he heard the voice, and immediately whispered to his two brothers that today's matter should be kept absolutely confidential and must not be disclosed to others. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally knew the importance of this secret, and they would not tell it to the outside world if they killed them. But the three of them didn't know what they were saying tonight, and what they said tonight would be heard by others. And the so-called "Guangwu Legacy" has been completely known by Xu Ji, which makes Xu Ji have a new understanding of the children of the Liu family.

After a while, I saw a soldier dressed in Youzhou come to Liu Bei, and said respectfully: "Tell Xuande Gong, just now, Xuzhou envoy Chen Deng and Xuzhou's envoy group have driven to the front of our camp and Yanzhou envoys, and ask Xuande Gong to return to the camp immediately to greet him, Liu Bei answered, then stood up and walked in the direction that his two brothers wanted to agree. Xu Ji's heart was a pity. Just now, he lost the best opportunity to kill Liu Bei, but for some reason, Xu Ji's heart also swelled up with an inexplicable pleasure at the same time, probably because he didn't want to kill Liu Bei at this time, right? That was too hasty after all. Maybe God didn't want him to do this, so he so coincidentally sent the messenger sent by Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian to Xu Ji's eyes.

After Liu Bei and the three of them slowly walked towards the direction of the camp, Xu Ji and the four of them quickly sneaked back from the other direction to the direction of the camp, after all, the envoy from Xuzhou arrived, and it was impossible not to greet him.

Wait until you get back to the camp. The four of them hurriedly changed their night clothes, and Chen Zhi took the opportunity to say: "Lord, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as Guangwu's will." I don't know if it's true or not. Xu Ji groaned: "I think this matter is extremely credible, because the results of Liu Bei's analysis just now are of great benefit to Liu Bei." It seems that this Liu Yu really wants to pass on the position of the assassin history of Youzhou to Liu Bei! ”

Looking at the three people who had already cleaned up, Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "But this matter has nothing to do with us at the moment, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are fighting happily." Liu Bei is under our surveillance again, speaking of Liu Xuan. I see that there is a Yuan Shu, plus that Sun Ce. There is something for him to bear, Liu Biao and Liu Yan have no intersection for the time being, so naturally we don't have to take it to heart, but I think the most troublesome is Liu Dai. As soon as Xu Ji's words came out, Wen Ping and Yu Banren immediately changed their colors and understood what Xu Ji meant, Chen Zhi knew very little about the Liu clan, so he didn't understand why the two of them had drastic changes in their faces after hearing Xu Ji's words. Wen Ping said decisively: "I will send people back and ask them to closely monitor Liu Dai's movements and report the situation immediately." ”

Xu Ji stopped Wen Ping and said in a deep voice: "Zhongye must not let them act rashly, as long as they are closely monitored, I want to see what tricks this Liu Dai can play." After a pause, Xu Ji said: "It just so happens that the one in my family is clamoring to go to the battlefield all day long, so there is a chance for her to see it."

Wen Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm afraid that those unlucky guys will be beaten into pigs' heads by our master mother." Yu Ban, a person who often learns martial arts with Yining, thinks about Yining's martial arts, and can't help but shudder, worried about Yining's enemies, although Yining is a princess and has married a wife, but her skills are definitely not under her, and as Xu Ji becomes more and more busy, she rarely has time to accompany her, so she also picked up her martial arts again, Yining is taught by a famous master after all, naturally not weak, plus every day with Dian Wei, that is, Dian Wei does not dare to make heavy hands just feed the moves, In the past year, the master's martial arts have become more and more powerful, even in the army under Xu Ji, there are also a few masters.

And Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Now that the Liu clan is under the control of Liu Dai, who knows what he will do?" Indeed, it is necessary to guard against it. After a pause, he said: "If Liu Dai has ulterior motives, it is not a big problem to let Mrs. spy on Liu Dai, but it is just ...... Nanyang over there. ”

Chen Zhi's face immediately changed after hearing this: "Is the lord afraid that Liu Dai and Yuan Shao will collude?" ”

Xu Ji appreciated Chen Dao's quick idea very much, if it was changed, ordinary people would definitely ask Xu Ji what Liu Dai's purpose was for doing this, because in the eyes of ordinary people, even if there is a "Guangwu will", after all, Liu Dai's current strength, even if he gets the help of his family, it is impossible to take any advantage.

But Chen Zhi was different, and immediately thought of the collusion between Yuan Shao and Liu Dai, in fact, as long as he thought about the fact that Liu Dai had the "Guangwu Will" in his hand, it was absolutely impossible to surrender to himself, and Xu Ji knew that Liu Dai and Yuan Shao had a great chance of cooperating for the second time. Xu Ji thought of this question at the small pavilion just now. It is precisely because of this that Xu Ji is quite worried about asking Yin Ning to make a move, his own wife knows best, although she has not jumped out as much as she did in the past few years, but because of her deliberate protection, she is even more naΓ―ve, I am afraid that she may not be able to understand the trick, and once she goes to the battlefield, it must be a huge risk, and she is not willing to risk her being injured.

But this is a helpless move, don't think how willing Xu Ji is to let his wife go to the battlefield, but at this time there are really not many people under his command who can stand alone, Bo Cai is out on the expedition, Gao Shun and Guo Jia's focus is on Qingxu Erzhou, obviously it is impossible to separate, there is still Liang Xi Xunyou, but these two must be in Jizhou and Yanzhou, although Xun Chen is a good choice, but he can't count on it for the time being, he will Yingchuan to see Xun Yu. Tian Feng was frustrated and did not take action, and Zhang He went to Youzhou to wait and see, so although Xu Ji was full of talents, there was really no one who could take his hand to deal with Liu Dai's affairs.

And this is also the reason why Xu Ji had to let his wife go into battle in person, although it was not the reason why he was too annoyed by Yining. (To be continued......)
