Chapter 144

The crisis is approaching

Mei Changsheng also understood Liu Bei's surname, and this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he said, "Cao Pi changed his generation, only his father can inherit the throne, this is an inevitable thing, but to let him have a process of acceptance, let's persuade from the side, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts at the moment."

Zhuge Liang sighed, "It seems that this is the only way, let me think about the good plan again, if the hearts of today's people are hesitating, Cao Wei's camp must be fluctuating, the lord can ascend the throne as soon as possible, and he will be able to return to the heart of the world, it is the time to gather talents, and you must not miss it."

"There is a laborer in this matter!" This kind of planning, naturally, no one can compare to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others can only count on him

Back at the residence, Mei Changsheng washed up, and immediately went to the palace to visit Wu and Sun Shangxiang, surprisingly, Liu Beijing arranged the residence of the two in - Qi, it seems to be quite harmonious, but this matter is not considered by Mei Changsheng, Liu Bei has his own intentions, and he came out after greetings

When he came to Fazheng's mansion, Fazheng's condition was serious, he was already bedridden, his flesh and blood were like firewood, and his mind was even in a trance, and he was thinking that he didn't teach Mei Changsheng anything, and he worshipped a master in vain, feeling ashamed

Fa Zheng originally accepted disciples only to inspect Mei Changsheng, but now he sees that Mei Changsheng is so attentive, and he remembers to come to visit him as soon as he returns from the expedition, and he attaches so much importance to him, he can't help but be moved, there is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, Mei Changsheng does not despise him because he is critically ill, at least his heart is sincere

Hua Tuo has not yet arrived in Chengdu, Mei Changsheng can't help but worry, and he doesn't understand whether Fa Zheng's illness can be cured and how long it can last, if Fa Zheng really dies, whether it is for Liu Bei or himself, it will be a huge loss, this is a character comparable to Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, and he can't die so easily

Mei Changsheng is more worried about his current situation, under the surface of stability and dazzling aura, there is actually a huge crisis hidden, and the factor of instability is still his current identity, which is very embarrassing

Liu Bei is about to ascend the throne and become the emperor immediately, Liu Chan will undoubtedly become a concubine, but Mei Changsheng's raising son is different, the greater his current merit, the greater the threat to Liu Chan in the future, the most ruthless emperor's family, that's the case

In history, Mei Changsheng was convicted because he didn't save Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to get rid of him because he would be difficult to control in the future, and now there is no reason to kill Mei Changsheng, it doesn't mean that those people will trust him, especially Zhuge Liang, such a person - once he thinks he is a dangerous person, he will not easily change his mind

The fundamental reason for Mei Changsheng's death is mainly the succession dispute between him and Liu Chan, his special identity and fierce surname are always a potential threat to Liu Chan's succession, and it will also become an unstable factor that shakes the foundation of Liu Bei's group, which is the main reason for Mei Changsheng's death

Chen Shou also commented that "Mei Changsheng is in a place of suspicion, and thinking and defense is not enough for self-defense" is what it means, before there were no relatives and children, Liu Bei loved Mei Changsheng very much, and he must have the meaning of cultivation, but now that he has three biological children, his thoughts are naturally different

Zhuge Liang's words in the city made Mei Changsheng even more vigilant, if he pretended to be stupid, Hun had no ambitions, and nothing could be done, maybe Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could still let him live, but this is not what Mei Changsheng wants, since he has come to this era of heroes, he will work vigorously instead of spending his years in vain

Therefore, what he has to do now is to do a good job of self-defense, in this political struggle, if Fa Zheng can help him, and Guan Yu's support, and then slowly gain the trust of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the situation will be different

"General, it's here!" was thinking about the future, Zhao Bo reminded him

Mei Changsheng raised his head, and unconsciously came to a blacksmith shop on the west side of the outer city of Chengdu, which is the place with the highest concentration of ironware in Chengdu

In the sound of clanging hammers, Mei Changsheng and Zhao Bo came to the backyard, and the old blacksmith was holding a knife to quench in the water, and the stinging was rising

"General Liu, you're here!" When the blacksmith saw Mei Changsheng, he put down the scimitar in his hand and walked over wiping his sweat

When Mei Changsheng saw the knife, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, full of anticipation, "The model I made for you, how did you do?"

"There are five knives here," said the old blacksmith, groping his way through the hay beside him, and drew two knives, very similar to the one he had just made, "this is what the general called a chopping knife, don't you think?"

Mei Changsheng - looking at the style is not wrong, the old blacksmith's technique is not wrong, the blade is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling cold light, - it is very sharp when you look at it

The chopping knife, as its name suggests, is a long knife designed to chop horses, which shows its great power, and is used to kill enemy generals and war horses together

However, Mei Changsheng's chopping knife made of oil noodles is a big knife that has been improved after more than 1,000 years of development, based on the chopping knife, and the Tang Dynasty Mo knife made after being weighted and lengthened, also known as a horizontal knife

The blade and handle are longer than ordinary knives, making them easy to hold with both hands; The blade is very sharp, and the slashing effect is excellent, especially when facing the riding ping-pong situation, it can cut the horse and cut the person up, which is more lethal than the gun and the horse-pong against the riding ping-pong

In order to strengthen the melee ability of riding ping-pong, Mei Changsheng asked the blacksmith to create a two-handle curved blade Mo knife, the horse mainly used chopping when charging, and the scimitar was also inspired by the Huns' table tennis weapons, and no longer lost its melee ability because the cavalry battles relied on long table tennis weapons such as spears and spears

Zhao Bo waved the scimitar a few times, and then he was indecisive, "The general is really powerful, he can think of this kind of table tennis weapon, so that he can give full play to the advantages of riding table tennis, even if he has no impact power, he can also slash and kill, so that even on the horse, riding table tennis can be compared with foot ping-right-!"

Mei Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right, this straight-edged knife is good for foot combat, you can use stabbing and other moves at the same time as chopping, and it has the role of both spear and sword, and the scimitar-bladed knife is good for cavalry combat."

Zhao Bo couldn't put it down while holding the Mo knife, but Mei Changsheng frowned again, because he saw the old blacksmith's sneering smile, he guessed that the saddle and the farrier might not have been built yet

"General Liu, look at this piece of ironโ€”" The old blacksmith picked up a few bowls of iron from the stove, not knowing what to do

Mei Changsheng took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Although it has not been formed, it is already decent, I see that you are still short of materials and manpower here, so let's wait until I arrange to send someone to pick you up to the workshop, and you can mention all the manpower and materials, you must build it as quickly as possible."

"Well, with the help of someone and enough materials, the small one will be able to be made," the old blacksmith nodded in flattery
