Chapter Seventy-Three: Mutiny
After the banquet, everyone left one after another, leaving only Chen Fan and Liu Bei's three brothers, Liu Bei glanced at Chen Fan and said, "Ziping, why are you stopping me?" β
"Xuande, no hurry, Luoyang is already in the hands at this time, there is more danger of the tiger prison, not afraid of others to attack, and the reserve soldiers are endless, don't you think there are a lot of Qiang people here in Liangzhou? There is more Wuhuan to raise horses for us, there is no need to rush at this time, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, do not act rashly, just stay in Luoyang at this time, not surprisingly, Ding Yuan will inevitably lead the army to attack tomorrow, his head is better used to deter everyone, Luoyang, hehe, so many officials, there are not a few clean butts, what are you afraid of? It's just a human head. After speaking, Chen Fan slowly drank a glass of wine.
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded slightly in agreement, and said: "Ziping, tomorrow I will ask for an official position for you, emperor, do you think it is good?" β
"It's a good thing." Chen Fan smiled, but sneered in his heart, so he wants to seize power, rise and fall secretly, hehe, and let you live for a few days.
After talking about it for a while, Chen Fan went back, and Liu Bei saw that Chen Fan was gone, and said, "What do you think of Ziping?" β
"Ziping has a very good appetite for me, and likes to drink as much as I do, but if it weren't for him, how would we have today's happy life." Zhang Fei said.
"Is the eldest brother worried that he will not be used by us, and that he will seek refuge in others or be independent?" Guan Yu said slowly.
"That's right, I haven't seen him call me lord for five or six years, and his prestige in the army is not small, and he has the grace to promote Yan Liangwen, Zhao Yunhuaxiong, Xu Huang and others, and there is no wealth in the family, and all the rewards are used to appease those remnants." Liu Bei sighed, how good it would be if we could be submissive to me, wouldn't it be a good story in history for our monarchs and ministers.
Zhang Fei didn't understand after hearing this, his eldest brother was not worried about Ziping, and the emperor was weakening Ziping, Zhang Fei was very sad and said: "Big brother, I'm a little tired, go back to sleep first." Then he went back to the house.
"Third brother......" Liu Bei stretched out his hand and shouted, and sighed again.
"The eldest brother doesn't have to be like this, the third brother is just a little sad, it's okay after a while, eldest brother, you don't have to worry about Ziping?" Guan Yu said.
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Bei asked.
"Although Ziping has always called his name to the eldest brother, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, but he has never done anything sorry for the eldest brother, as for the eldest brother's life-saving grace? Big brother thinks that even if there were no three of us brothers at that time, he would not be able to escape? And at that time, I made three plans with the eldest brother, and I would have returned it a long time ago, if there was no such person, although we had a place, it was thousands of miles away from this time, and I Guan Ziping had never married a wife and had children, but in the end, the eldest brother had to decide for himself. Guan Yu finally said again.
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while.
"If the eldest brother arrives at that time, please let the eldest brother spare his life and trap him." Guan Yu said again.
"I know about this, second brother, don't worry, how can I, Liu Bei, be that kind of ruthless and unrighteous person." Liu Bei smiled, but he thought in his heart that death from illness is also death, and he can blame me.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's figure, his face turned cold, and it was urgent to remove Chen Fan.
"The military advisor hasn't slept yet?" The person who came was in his thirties, and his body was a little blessed.
"Why is Wenhe here, sit down." Chen Fan said, picked up a cushion and handed it to him.
"Strategist, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not?" Jia Xu said.
"Say, I'll listen." Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Actually, the lord is quite like Emperor Gaozu, but the military advisor is like Han Xin." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he was silent, everyone is a smart person, and the meaning is very clear.
"Have you ever thought about it, I'm not Han Xin, he's Liu Bang, even if he's Liu Bang, what does Wen He think he can do? Kill me? Not to mention anything else, I, Chen Ziping, am a general on the horse, a minister on the horse, and a prince on the horse. At the end, Chen Fan's voice became cold, and he said, "What does Wen He think?" β
Jia Xu saw Chen Fan's pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts, and sweated on his back, why was he so stupid, Chen Ziping was in the camp step by step, how could he not have thought that today, looking at it since ancient times, he felt that no one could compare to the military division.
He didn't know that Chen Fan's soul was so big, how could it be compared with ordinary people, after becoming a monk, he had been studying Buddhist scriptures, of course, Taoist scriptures were also read, especially the Tao Te Ching, Huang Ting Jing, or someone asked, what Taoist scriptures a monk reads, practicing Taoist supernatural powers, don't you know that Zhun Ti didn't learn the Tao before he betrayed the Xuanmen, and after becoming holy, in addition to some of its powerful supernatural powers, there is no way to know its meaning, the Buddha comes from the Tao, how can he not read the Taoist scriptures.
"Strategist, you really want to ......" Jia Xu didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Chen Fan and said, "Wenhe, can't you see it?" He can't tolerate me anymore, only by dying, can he have peace of mind, and I don't want to come to this point, but ants are still stealing life, why not spare your life? β
After Jia Xu heard this, he lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Is the military advisor really sure?" β
Chen Fan smiled and said nothing, Jia Xu saw that Chen Fan was calm and calm, and there was still time to read Buddhism...... Well...... Buddhist scriptures, Jia Xu was a little surprised, and asked: "The military teacher believes in Buddhism?" β
"I don't believe it, because I'm the Buddha." Chen Fan looked at him and smiled.
After Jia Xu listened, he paused for a moment, then smiled, shook his head, didn't say anything, Buddhism, he can't talk about hating or liking, Confucianism and Taoism are called the three major religions, naturally there is a reason for its survival, and the scriptures of Buddhism are more in line with the appetite of the superiors, although it is Hujiao, but who can say that it is Hujiao, that it is not castrated in Kyushu, not to mention that some people say that it was Lao Tzuxi who sent a letter to Guguanhua Hu Chenggong, as for how no one knows.
Seeing Jia Xu, Chen Fan shook his head, smiled, didn't say anything, and said, "Is there anything else to do with Wenhe?" β
Jia Xu heard that this was going to be a send-off, smiled bitterly, and slowly got up and said, "The military advisor should rest early." He walked slowly to the door, and when he got to the door, he turned his head and asked, "The military advisor is not afraid of telling the truth?" β
After hearing this, Chen Fan smiled and said: "You are a smart person, this is a matter between me and Xuande, no matter who can have the last laugh in the end, Wenhe will be fine, as for the whistleblower, then I don't know." β
"The military advisor is right, only people who don't talk much can live for a long time, and say goodbye." After speaking, Jia Xu gave a salute and walked out slowly.
After Chen Fan saw it, he smiled, Jia Xu is a very life-loving person, but why did he remind himself, maybe he wanted to repay his kindness, he saved him by the way when he was in Xiliang, and when he heard that he was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, Chen Fan worshiped Sima of the Military Department, and recommended it to Liu Bei after he went back.
There was nothing to say all night, and he was woken up early the next morning, no different from what he said, Ding Yuan led the army to attack Luoyang, Chen Fan put on his clothes without hurry, ate a little and came to the city wall, "Why did Ziping come?" Liu Bei asked.
"I slept late yesterday." Chen Fan said with a smile, and after looking at the soldiers under the city, he praised and said, "Among the generals in the world, Lu Bu should be the first." β
"Hmph, the military advisor will wait for a moment while I will take his head." Guan Yu snorted coldly, a little unconvinced, Chen Fan didn't say anything, "Third brother, you are fighting for Yun Chang." Liu Bei was a little worried, he saw Lu Bu yesterday and picked up the sword in Zhang Fei's hand, lest something happen to Guan Yu.
"Hey, I'll go." After saying that, he went down with the eight-zhang snake spear, Chen Fan secretly regretted that if Zhang Fei couldn't go down, it was very likely that Liu Bei's arm would be broken.
"Whoever comes, report the name." Lu Bu shouted.
"Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, I have heard of the famous general for a long time, but I don't want to see each other like this today." Guan Yu hugged his fists.
After Lu Bu saw it, he also returned a salute, he had also heard Guan Yunchang's name, after all, they were all border soldiers, and they didn't underestimate him, and after a few rounds of riding horses, they knew the depths, and they could be so praised by the military advisor, and there was really no vain under the fame.
Zhang Fei saw that his second brother was not an opponent, so he hurriedly rode a horse and flew into battle, the two attacked Lu Bu, and fought for more than 50 rounds, Liu Bei saw that he couldn't hold each other, and quickly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, Chen Fan didn't say anything, just frowned, this Liu Bei is still like that, compared with Cao Cao, there is only crying left, although they can't hold each other, but the army rushes up, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, he can't resist it, it's really a second goods.
However, seeing that the morale declined, Chen Fan was helpless, but Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu won and ordered a strong attack, about half an hour, suddenly killed Yan Liangwen Chou from the back, Ding Yuan's army was defeated, it turned out that after Chen Fan calculated, he ordered Yan Liangwen Chou to secretly lead the army out of the city to ambush, and when the siege was halfway through, he led the army to kill.
However, Liu Bei didn't know that seeing Yan Liangwen Chou defeat Ding Yuan, he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, and there was no tiger talisman to mobilize military power, and he felt more and more that Chen Fan couldn't stay, and the killing intent in his heart became stronger and stronger.
When Chen Fan saw Zhang Fei and Guan Yu remove their armor and put down their weapons, when they came to the city, Chen Fan laughed, and glanced at Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji next to him, only to see the two of them pull out their swords and shout loudly: "The military advisor has an order to arrest Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." β
