Zhang Fei, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but speak. Zhang Fei is upright, and his brain is not very bright, but today's events, he also saw it clearly, he knew that Liu Bei had really changed, no longer the big brother who was based on loyalty and righteousness, but became the king of Hanzhong with a strong sense of fame and a strong desire to control power.

Although Zhang Fei was very reluctant to be an enemy of Liu Bei in his heart, morality could not be distorted, between Liu Bei and morality, Zhang Fei finally made a choice and completely stood on Ao Lie's side, which came to the side of morality. He stood up at this moment, hoping that Liu Bei could miss the old feelings for a while, and stop the army, so as to avoid the lives of the two parties, and also to avoid Liu Bei slipping into a deeper quagmire, and to avoid the scene of himself and Liu Bei fighting each other.

Liu Bei glanced up at Zhang Fei with mixed emotions in his eyes. Zhang Fei's swarthy face is one of the faces that Liu Bei remembers the most in his life, after all, more than 20 years of life and death depend on each other, day and night, and getting along day and night is not something that can be forgotten in a day or two. It can be said that if there were no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two tiger generals, Liu Bei's own life would have been lost many times, and the reason why he was able to live to this day and become the king of Hanzhong of the Han Dynasty and become the king of one party is indispensable to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. But now Zhang Fei is already Ao Lie's general, and it was Liu Bei who threw Zhang Fei out of the country as an outcast...... A trace of remorse, a trace of resentment, and a trace of reminiscence were intertwined in Liu Bei's thoughts, making his heart uncontrollable for a long time.

After a long time, Liu Bei took his eyes off the eyes with Zhang Fei, and said with a chuckle: "Isn't this fighting to kill the heavenly general, Zhang Junhou?" Why, do you have something to say to this king? "As a generation of heroes, since Zhang Fei has been regarded as an outcast, there is no reason to take it back, and changing the order will have a bad impact, therefore. In the end, Liu Bei could only use this way and such a tone to greet his brother who lived and died together in the past.

Above the city pass, Zhang Fei shook his head and said sincerely: "Big brother, even my old Zhang can see today's events clearly, how can I hide it from the people of the whole world?" You go, I don't want to confront you. Besides, the Holy Lord's edict to let King Yan inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven is something that dozens of ministers can prove. It's already a fact, and no one can change it. ”

Liu Bei's clenched fist, under Zhang Fei's persuasion, finally let go, slowly put it down, and hung down at his side. In fact, Zhang Fei's persuasion is only one aspect, through the time of talking to Zhang Fei just now, Liu Bei has already thought very clearly, this position of the Son of Heaven. It will definitely fall into the hands of Ao Lie, after all, dozens of senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee heard Liu Xie's edict with their own ears, and even if they wanted to fight, they would not be able to earn it. In this case, why should he compete with Ao Lie for the position of the Son of Heaven? It's not bad to go back to Yizhou to be a soil emperor, and it's not bad to be at ease, and then your strength will grow stronger. is looking for an opportunity to overthrow Ao Lie, this matter can't be rushed. If you are too anxious, you will disadvantage yourself and let yourself fall into the quagmire of violating morality.

Liu Bei values reputation the most, the reason why he can ascend to the throne of the king of Hanzhong today is inseparable from his daily spread of benevolence and righteousness, so that a large group of talented people gather around him to help him achieve today's career and status, even if he lacks top ministers and generals like Pang Tong and Zhang Fei, it will not seem to be too much loss. But if he ordered a forcible attack on Xiegu Pass today, it would be tantamount to ruining all the benevolent and righteous images that he had worked so hard to build up in the past. Such an unwise thing, no matter how angry Liu Bei was in his heart, he would not do it.

In the end, Liu Bei popped out two words from between his teeth: "Withdraw the army!" "Under Liu Bei's order, 100,000 Shu soldiers retreated like a tide. Before leaving, Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Ao Lie on the city pass with a calm look, it just so happened that Ao Lie was also looking at him, and the two made a silent confrontation with their eyes, Liu Bei told Ao Lie: This king will come back, and when the time comes, you will have to hand over the position of the Son of Heaven. And Ao Lie told Liu Bei: The next time this king enters Hanzhong, it will be the day you perish!

In fact, Ao Lie really wanted to leave Liu Bei behind, but in order to save Liu Xie, Ao Lie only brought 50,000 Yan army iron cavalry this time, plus more than 40,000 Han troops who had gone through the war, and less than 100,000 people, there was still a surplus to defend the city, but if he went out of the city and fought with Liu Bei, it would not take advantage of anything, after all, now Liu Xie has just died, it is bad news for everyone, and it will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Seeing the 100,000 Shu soldiers gradually moving away, Ao Lie turned around and said to dozens of ministers such as Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan: "Ladies and gentlemen, I was in a hurry just now, I can understand your feelings, now that the crisis has passed, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." This king has no intention of being subordinate, and he can't inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven, so let's choose one of the sons of the Holy One to inherit the throne. ”

Huang Fu Song and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other, and then each sighed, and Huang Fu Song took the lead in speaking: "King Yan doesn't have to shirk, this matter is a deliberate decision made by the Holy Lord, and it is by no means a temporary decision. ”

Zhong Xuan stepped forward, took out a yellow silk cloth from his arms, handed it to Ao Lie, and said: "This is the edict that the Holy Lord has drawn up a long time ago, but it has not been issued, and King Yan is the heir of the Son of Heaven appointed by the Holy Lord, and there is a clear announcement in this edict." ”

Ao Lie opened the edict and read it word by word: Brother Huang, junior brother, this is the first step, in the future, you have to help me take care of the rivers and people of the Han Dynasty, it is best to make a prosperous era like the rule of Wenjing, don't let future generations call me a faint king, in this way, I can also rest assured. Brother Huang, I will always keep in mind your teachings to me, this imperial expedition was deliberately made by me, because I knew that you were unwilling to accept the position of the Son of Heaven, so I had to use this stupid method to make you have no way out, you won't blame me, right......

Seeing this, Ao Lie's tears flowed down instantly, and he choked up and whispered to himself: "Fool, how can you be so stupid...... Holding back tears, Ao Lie continued to look down: Don't call me stupid! I know you're going to say that, well, I can't hear it anyway, just say it. Seriously, I've always thought you're better suited to be the leader of a country than I am, don't you deny that? It's useless to deny it. Anyway, I've already handed over the big man to you, don't let me down as a student! By the way, don't think about finding one of my children to be the emperor, hehe, to tell you the truth, your two nephews have been sent away by me, you can't find out where they are, you don't have to worry about their lives, anyway, I have been the son of heaven for more than ten years. Don't let your children starve and freeze, rest assured......

Ao Lie suddenly raised his head and looked at Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan, his heart was full of shock! In order to cut off his idea of pushing the Son of Heaven to the throne, Liu Xie ruthlessly sent his two sons to the people to hide, this is Liu Xie's absolute trust in Ao Lie, but at the same time, he is too ruthless to his children! Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan saw the shock in Ao Lie's heart, and said at the same time, "Don't ask us. We don't know where the two princes were sent, we only know that Lu Dao was taken away by a concubine, and we don't know who this concubine is. "Concubine. In the Han Dynasty it was a general term, and there were many wives of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and they could all be called concubines, with the highest positions. is the wife of the main house, that is, the queen, under the queen. There are also four levels of nobles, beauties, palace people and women, each level has a corresponding number of people, ranging from four to dozens of people, it is too difficult to find the concubine who took Liu Xie's two sons among so many people, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Speechless and choked! Ao Lie sighed, it seems that Liu Xie has really been prepared for a long time, and he did not hesitate to die, and also sent away his two sons, in order to allow Ao Lie to be in charge of the Han without distractions, board the dragon chair of the Son of Heaven, and govern the country instead of him. This feeling, this trust, made Ao Lie feel like something was blocked in his heart, heavy.

Lowering his head, Ao Lie continued to look at the edict: Brother Huang, when I wrote this edict, the two elders of Huangfu Song and Zhong Ji were present, they personally watched me finish writing this edict, although the number of Chinese military officials is large, but it is only the two of them who are worthy of my entrustment of the aftermath, originally Du Qi is also one, but I sent him to you, hehe, now you know what I mean, right? When I asked Du Ji to go to you, I already planned to give you the position of the Son of Heaven, otherwise do you think I am really full, let you be in charge of such a large territory, and still make you the king of Yan? This world was brought down by you, and it should be governed by you. In addition to the two bosses of Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan, the rest of the ministers, you can use it cautiously as you like, use it if you can use it, and depose it if you can't use it, don't worry about my face, I also know that there are many ministers in the court, they are all parasites you say, how to get rid of these pests, it's up to you, I believe you can do it.

At the end of the edict, Liu Xie's handwriting seemed a little condensed, and there was a bloody nature between the lines: Brother Huang, you once taught me that a good man should know how to make trade-offs, and he is a real man if he can afford to let go, I want to be a real man in your mouth, so I made such a trade-off, don't feel sorry for me, no matter how I will die, it is my choice, maybe I will die ugly, but I don't regret it, I am very relieved to hand over the big man to you. Brother Huang, I'm about to put away the pen, to be honest, I'm really a little reluctant in my heart, the great rivers and mountains, I can't see it anymore, but I will stare at you in the sky, if you can't make my Dahan rivers and mountains more magnificent, I will appear in your dream to fight with you. I have never called myself I in front of the imperial brother, this time, let me be handsome once, I order you, take charge of the Han, there must be no mistakes, Wangqing redoubles his efforts, and lives up to my trust.

The edict of nearly 1,000 words is sprinkled with nearly 1,000 words, only the last sentence is in line with the prestige of Liu Xie's son of heaven, and the other words are like chatting, chatting with his own brother, without the slightest dignified and sacred atmosphere, Liu Xie also used such a way to relieve Ao Lie's inner pain and struggle, because Liu Xie knew that his death would definitely make Ao Lie very sad. Maybe such a cynical tone can make Ao Lie's heart feel better.

Putting away the edict, Ao Lie folded it up with great weight, put it in the armor close to his heart, and the two lines of hot tears could no longer be stopped, dripping down his cheeks, slashing through the gorgeous Dragon Roaring Heavenly Armor, falling to the ground, and being smashed into countless petals in an instant.

Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan are also old tears, when Liu Xie made this decision, they were by Liu Xie's side, but they were powerless to stop Liu Xie, this is respect for Liu Xie, but also admiration, but also trust in Liu Xie, they believe that Liu Xie has grown into a real man, and what he did must have his reason.

Wiping away their tears, Huangfu Song and Zhong Xuan knelt down at Ao Lie's feet again, and said loudly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, respectfully ask King Yan to succeed to the throne of heaven!" (To be continued......)
