25. Every man's mind

After seeing Liu Bei's excellent ability to unify the army in battle, Liu Yan paid more attention to Liu Bei. If he gets Liu Bei's sincere help, then he will not only defend the city to protect himself in this Yellow Turban Rebellion, if he can turn the tide in this situation, then the title of prince will be just around the corner.

Although Liu Yan was very sincere in entertaining Liu Bei and wanted to keep Liu Bei under his command, Liu Yan had already thought of how to exaggerate the results of this battle and asked for a reward for Liu Bei. But unfortunately, fate will not change due to personal will, after Qingzhou Taishou Gong Jing launched a request for help to Liu Yan, Liu Yan immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand his influence, so he suspended the act of reporting credit to the imperial court, and reported it together after the rescue of Qingzhou, which was more shocking.

Although Liu Yan is the Taishou of Youzhou, he is responsible for defending the territory and cannot send troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in other places without authorization. Moreover, at this time, the DPRK had already sent Zhonglang General Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others to lead the army to suppress the bandits, so Liu Yan could not act rashly. But Gong Jing's request for help this time is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Liu Yan to expand his achievements and show his martial arts.

If Lu Zhi and others are unfavorable to suppress the bandits, looking at the current situation of the Yellow Turban thieves, this situation is very likely, and he alone defeats the Yellow Turban thieves in Youzhou, then the DPRK and the Son of Heaven will definitely consider entrusting themselves with the heavy task of exterminating the Yellow Turban thieves, so that they can show their skills in the Battle of the Yellow Turbans and work hard to develop their own forces.

So Liu Yan sent his only two generals Wu Jing and Liu Bei to lead the army to rescue Qingzhou, because Youzhou because of Liu Bei's complete victory before, the yellow turban thief temporarily disappeared, so Liu Yan was very generous to let Liu Bei and the two bring more than 10,000 people to the rescue.

However, Liu Yan never thought that Liu Bei, who was very optimistic about himself and wanted to promote and rely on in the future, would never return.

Let's say that the Yellow Turban thieves who attacked Qingzhou originally gave Liu Guanzhang and the others a lesson, and the three people in the province thought that I was invincible in the future, and they were too arrogant. But I didn't expect that because there are too many players in the Yellow Turban Thieves now, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are mighty, and Liu Bei's use of soldiers like gods has already been spread within the Yellow Turban Thieves, so the Yellow Turban Thieves and Liu Bei and others fought in the first day, under the hard work of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the promotion of many players, Liu Bei actually defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves who besieged Gong Jing in Qingzhou in one battle, and successfully completed the purpose of the rescue.

Then, Wu Jing wanted to lead the army back to Youzhou to protect himself, and at the same time listen to Liu Yan's orders before making the next step, but how could the little credit at this moment satisfy Liu Bei and others who wanted to make contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. And when he returned to Youzhou, it was obvious that he would miss out on the credit for exterminating the main force of the Yellow Turbans, which Liu Bei and others could not bear. So Liu Bei and Wu Jing parted ways here, and Liu Bei led more than 1,000 people from his headquarters and more than 2,000 people from the Yellow Turban thieves who defected to him after the new surrender, and went to his master, Lu Zhi.

Originally, the Han army was repeatedly defeated by the Yellow Turban Thieves in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and even after Lu Zhi took over, he did not easily change this disadvantage, but Lu Zhi was steady, led the troops to fight steadily, and would never be defeated in the battle of the Yellow Turban Thieves as before. Slowly, with the addition of heroes like Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao and others in the late Han Dynasty, a large number of players also entered the battlefield of exterminating the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the Yellow Turban Thieves also began to lose their numerical advantage, so the Han army began to slowly reverse its disadvantage, and the situation of the war began to develop in the direction of history that the 'Heavenly Horse' expected.

So Liu Bei went to Lu Zhi, wanting to help his master, and at the same time make some credit by the way, in front of his master, his military exploits will not be ignored and buried. However, I didn't expect that after Liu Bei arrived, Lu Zhi just warmly entertained Liu Bei and others, praised Liu Bei a few words, and sent Liu Bei to Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, who was also in a tense situation, and because of the inconvenience of information transmission, he didn't know the battle situation.

As soon as Liu Bei arrived at Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song used a plan to defeat Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. Liu Bei followed Huang Fu Song to pick up a little leftovers, and then was also sent back to Lu Zhi by Huang Fu Song.

Let's say that Liu Bei was on the way back to the army, and unexpectedly found that Lu Zhi, the master who was arrested and dismissed according to the original history, which surprised Liu Bei, his biggest backer was gone, and in this way, who would report to the court for himself for the credit he had obtained by sacrificing his life and forgetting his life here?

Although he really wanted to lead someone to save Lu Zhi like this, Liu Bei still rationally suppressed this crazy thought, which would not only harm himself, but also his brother and master. After stopping Zhang Fei, who was acting recklessly and wanted to rescue his master, Liu Bei, under the persuasion of Guan Yu, was ready to take refuge with Liu Yan, who looked at him very much.

Unexpectedly, on the way, the three brothers Zhang Jiao defeated the Han army, and Dong Zhuo, who was new to replace Lu Zhi, was chased and fled in embarrassment. Liu Bei and the three of them were overjoyed when they saw this, this was an opportunity for God to give themselves a relationship with Dong Zhuo and send their kindness.

So the three of them led the soldiers to kill Zhang Jiao desperately, killed countless red-eyed, and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo's explosive god costume, the player of the cheats, and saved Dong Zhuo. But who knew that Dong Zhuo was very arrogant, and he didn't appreciate it at all, and after knowing that Liu Bei and the three were still white, he despised it even more. This also made Liu Bei's three angry teeth itch, Zhang Fei even wanted to rush into the camp to kill Dong Zhuo and retrieve the life of the dog they worked so hard to save, but he was still stopped by Liu Bei. After careful discussion and consideration by Liu Bei and the others, the three decided to take someone to Zhu Jun.

However, at this time, the players who had been following Liu Bei and the three of them on the battlefield and forgetting their lives had different views. Although it cannot be denied that Liu Bei had a great reputation in later generations, and in the later period, Liu Bei was also able to divide one side until the establishment of Shu Han and the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. However, Liu Bei's first half of his life was quite upside down, if he has been following Liu Bei, there is no doubt that most players will not have the opportunity to run away and stand on their own, then in this case, the Three Kingdoms will almost have nothing to do with themselves, even if they can participate, they are just nobodies who will die on the battlefield at any time, which is what many players are unwilling to do, and they come to play the game to compete for the Three Kingdoms, not to experience the tragic life of the soldiers in the late Han Dynasty.

Although it is true that many people sincerely follow Liu Bei and want to help him build an empire and even unify the Three Kingdoms, there are also many people who take refuge in Liu Bei just to take a ride and look for more opportunities to rise, and there are better choices here.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo is newly defeated, at a low point in his life, and there is a shortage of major generals, if he chooses to follow Dong Zhuo now, not to mention that he will definitely be able to get Dong Zhuo's reuse, but he can also get Dong Zhuo's other treatment. And historically, this is just an incubation period for Dong Zhuo, and soon Dong Zhuo will be able to make a comeback.

If you can follow Dong Zhuo at this moment, then when Dong Zhuo gains power in the future, he will be an old man who has followed Dong Zhuo through a hundred battles, and when Dong Zhuo abolishes the Son of Heaven and takes charge of the power of the Han Dynasty in the future, he has every chance to fight alone and develop his own power under Dong Zhuo's order.

And even if this plan doesn't work, there is a chance that after Dong Zhuo fails and dies in the future, the state army will be leaderless, and he will get a share of this hundred battles and gain the capital to stand up. What's more, there is also a top strategist in the Bingzhou army who has been hidden in the Three Kingdoms - Jia Xu. If you can get his allegiance, with his assistance, it is not impossible for you to take the opportunity to take over the annexation after Dong Zhuo's death, and even continue to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

So the night before Liu Bei and the others decided to leave Dong Zhuo and go to Zhu Jun, Liu Bei's players had a fierce quarrel.

"You are betrayal! A bunch of traitors! And it's not good to choose whom, you actually chose this Dong Zhuo, do you still want to be a son of this Dong Zhuo? ”

"If Dong Zhuo still has a daughter, I don't mind being his son-in-law, and of course it's not impossible to be his son." The person who opened his mouth to propose defection to Dong Zhuo replied lightly.

"That is, everyone has their own aspirations, you can choose Liu Bei, why can't we take refuge in Dong Zhuo? And you follow Liu Bei so desperately, is Liu Bei your father? A player who also agreed to defect to Dong Zhuo sarcastically said.

"Hehe, what if Liu Bei is really the ancestor of the family? It's not impossible, you see how many people in reality think they are descendants of Liu Bei, what if this one is too? "Someone in the crowd made a noise.

"You... You—" The player who spoke out to stop them was flushed and speechless.

After seeing that they couldn't stop these people from preparing to join Dong Zhuo, and these people were still persuading the players under Liu Bei's command to follow them to join Dong Zhuo, after all, if there was only one person, even if Dong Zhuo was down, he would not pay much attention to it, since he chose to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, of course, he would bring more people over to get more attention. These players who really followed Liu Bei told Liu Bei the news here.

Zhang Fei was furious after getting the news, he was eager to kill Dong Zhuo first and then quickly, so he finally pressed it down and prepared to leave here, but he didn't expect that someone under his command would betray him and take refuge in Dong Zhuo's guy, and he was unwilling to go by himself, so he had to dig his own corner and take people to join Dong Zhuo's ungrateful villain. Zhang Fei immediately picked up his Zhangba snake spear and was about to nail those traitors to the wall.

Liu Bei immediately stopped Zhang Fei, and then led people to beg for those guys who were still persuading other players to follow him to join Dong Zhuo. Then Liu Bei was surprised to find that these people were not only the Yellow Turban thieves who came halfway, but also the few people led by them were actually people who followed him in Zhuo County.

Although they faced Liu Bei and others' questioning, the few people who were about to defect to Dong Zhuo did not panic, owed slightly, and then said: "Brother Xuande chose to defect to Zhu Jun, but I think that Lord Dong Zhuo is even more lacking in manpower here because of the new defeat, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves is here, so I think we are needed here even more, and I ask the eldest brother to forgive us for not being able to continue to follow the eldest brother." ”

"You..." Zhang Fei was about to rush forward to teach them a lesson when he saw these people looking fake, but was stopped by Liu Bei.
