26. Hesitation and determination
As the head of everyone, Liu Bei naturally can't turn a blind eye to this situation, if this is really the case, then his current team can almost be dispersed. After all, he has no power or position now, and being able to have so many people follow him desperately is the fame and prestige that he usually accumulates little by little. If these people are allowed to challenge their prestige like this, and they don't take any action, then even if they have prestige, they won't be able to retain people's hearts, which Liu Bei absolutely can't bear.
But although the person in front of him was doing obscene things, and even hit his prestige because of this, he had no good way to deal with them. And what he said was so righteous and awe-inspiring, and he elevated his private behavior to such a major national event as the extermination of the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei himself really didn't know how to refute him.
Although Dong Zhuo's evil was well known in later generations, at this time, Dong Zhuo was still a good image of being brave and good at fighting and defending against aliens on the border.
Although Dong Zhuo was newly defeated at this moment, and he was very neglectful and looked down on the life-saving benefactor Liu Bei and the others, Liu Bei and the three of them decided to leave Dong Zhuo here and lead the army to join Zhu Jun, another commander who was responsible for exterminating the Yellow Turban Thieves, but this was only a contradiction between Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo, if Liu Bei forbade his subordinates to stay and join Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo knew that it was very likely that none of his three brothers would be able to get out of Dong Zhuo's camp, and even if his master Lu Zhi regained power in the future, there was no way to help him refute it.
But this does not mean that Liu Bei will give in, although Liu Bei also wants to kill these two-minded guys, but Liu Bei still rationally stopped Zhang Fei, who was about to explode, looking at the other party's smiling face that although he was slightly bowed but still holding no weakness, Liu Bei could also see the same ambition in his eyes as himself and others. Although Liu Bei doesn't want to stop anyone's upward progress, no one can take me Liu Bei as your stepping stone, otherwise don't blame me Liu for being unkind.
So Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and stepped forward, the two sides were constantly arguing, but with Liu Bei's wave of his hand, they instantly quieted down, which also made the other party's smiling face instantly become very ugly.
Although I know that Liu Bei's prestige is very high, and he is usually very good to people, and he can buy people's hearts very much, which can be seen from the fact that so many people obviously have better choices, and they know that Liu Bei will have a bumpy road in the subsequent journey, but there are still so many players who are willing to follow sincerely.
But I didn't expect that among these players who decided to give up and continue to follow Liu Bei and follow him to Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei still has such a high prestige. After all, although they chose to follow themselves temporarily, it was because of the prospects and conditions they promised, and they couldn't make everyone quiet with a wave of their hands like Liu Bei, so that in this comparison, their disadvantages were revealed, and maybe in the future, some of these people would jump out to challenge their positions. Thinking of this, the leading man who decided to defect to Dong Zhuo had a slightly ugly face.
Seeing that the other party's face suddenly changed from relaxed and confident to very ugly, Liu Bei was also a little inexplicable, but Liu Bei looked at the other party's familiar face, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and he couldn't care about paying attention to that little thing.
This person is also an old man who follows him, at that time he was just an idle man in Zhuo County, and sometimes he had to work hard for his three meals a day, although he had a small reputation in his own village, after all, he traveled widely, and he had gone out to study, but this did not bring much change to his life.
But suddenly one day, this guy with a dozen brothers said to go to himself, worship himself as the eldest brother, he was also startled, although he has these dozen little brothers in the village, but no one has rushed from the outside to run to himself, and the most important thing is that he can't even support himself, there are so many people, but I didn't expect these guys not only insisted on worshiping themselves as the eldest brother, but also contributed their own money, and went out to work in the future to support their eldest brother.
Since then, people have been defecting to themselves, others have treated me with sincerity, and I Liu Bei naturally treats each other with sincerity, so I will lead everyone to throw their heads for this, and spill blood to fight a bloody road in this Yellow Turban Rebellion and fight for a future, but I didn't expect that my career had just started, and I also took everyone through several bloody battles and saved a lot of credit.
Where did you slow down these old brothers? I think that at the beginning, when I first saw my second brother Guan Yu, I had a feeling in my heart that this person would be my right-hand man in the future, and it was really right from now on, my second brother's strength was so high, not to mention the best in the world, it was definitely the top batch, but even so, when they had a conflict with that Jiang Da, I was reluctant to give up my second brother and choose those old brothers who had always followed me.
Could it be that he really ignored Guan Yu and Zhang Fei after swearing goodbye? But usually, they get along very well, or are they just a white body now, and they can't give them the future they want? But Dong Zhuo has recently been defeated, the war is unfavorable, and he doesn't know what the future holds, how can he bear to jump into Dong Zhuo's fire pit with his brother like this?
At this time, Liu Bei's previous resentment has disappeared without a trace, since these old brothers want a better future, then let them go, why should he be a villain and stop them?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei sighed, looking at the people around him who were silently staring at him all the time, Liu Bei couldn't help but redden, and then stabilized his emotions, and said with a heavy mouth to Zhang Yang, who had become worried.
"Yunfei, in the blink of an eye, you have been following me for so long..."
Zhang Yang, the leader, was worried and didn't know what Liu Bei was going to say, but when he saw Liu Bei's state, he secretly screamed that it was not good, everyone knew Uncle Liu's stunt of buying people's hearts - crying, if he made him cry, and then nagged about his previous feelings like this, then now the people who follow him don't know how many will follow him, although everyone knows Uncle Liu's stunt, but I really don't know how many people can carry it, and he must not be allowed to finish like this, Zhang Yang, who was thinking like this, did not hesitate to interrupt Liu Bei, who wanted to reminisce about the past.
"Stop, Brother Xuande, don't talk about the previous things, we are all very grateful to you for taking care of us, but now I think we are needed more here, everyone has their own aspirations, and I ask Brother Xuande to forgive me."
Liu Bei's words were choked by Zhang Yang as soon as he spoke, and then he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Bastard! You..."
When Brother Liu Bei spoke, he didn't dare to make a little movement, and this guy actually dared to interrupt the eldest brother's speech, which made Zhang Fei instantly angry, but Zhang Fei was stopped by Liu Bei, who had returned to his senses, before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Zhang Fei, who did not dare to resist the authority of the eldest brother, stared at Zhang Yang fiercely for a while, but still helplessly stopped and turned his head to the side, out of sight.
"Alright then, let's not talk about the past." Liu Bei smiled, eased the tense atmosphere due to Zhang Fei's anger, and then said.
"Since Yunfei chose General Dong Zhuo Dong, although I am your eldest brother, I didn't take you to do anything big, and it is indeed difficult to stop you, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't stop you from pursuing your own future."
"Big brother, you..."
Zhang Fei, who was not going to say anything more, was stunned when he heard this, according to the meaning of saying this, Brother Liu Bei was ready to let them go like this? No, in this case, how will we lead the team in the future, come if we want, leave if we want, and I am not a yellow turban thief here, how can we gather people's hearts in the future? Thinking of this, Zhang Fei was anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to make Liu Bei change his mind.
However, as soon as Zhang Fei spoke, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Fei's words as if he had expected it.
Zhang Yang, who had already thought about how to refute Liu Bei's next words, was stunned when he heard Liu Bei's words, and then he was overjoyed, for fear that Liu Bei would regret it, and hurriedly spoke.
"Thank you Brother Xuande for understanding the righteousness, please rest assured, even if you are not by your brother's side, Brother Xuande is still our brother, and if Brother Xuande is in trouble in the future, we will naturally be duty-bound."
However, there are players behind Liu Bei who can't stand it anymore, and Zhang Yang's behavior of getting cheap and selling is obedient opened his mouth to reprimand.
"How do you speak? What does it mean to have trouble in the future? Curse us, huh? ”
"No, Brother Xuande, listen to me, I definitely didn't mean that."
Zhang Yang glared at the mouthy guy when he heard this, and then saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's angry eyes, and hurriedly explained.
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, and said as if he hadn't heard it: "Okay, that's it, it's decided, if I am down-and-out in the future, maybe I will go to you, and I hope Yunfei will take you in." ”
"This, it's easy to say." Liu Bei's sudden compliment made Zhang Yang lose himself a little, touched his head and replied with a smile, not noticing that everyone behind him had blushed and lowered their heads.
"Then let's leave it for today, it's late at night, let's all go back and rest." Seeing that the matter had been resolved, and Liu Bei didn't want to entangle with these people anymore, he opened his mouth and asked everyone to go back to rest.
Although Zhang Yang still wanted to persuade a few more players to follow him to Dong Zhuo, but looking at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei stared at his eyes, and he still stopped rationally and chose to give up, anyway, he had already gathered enough people, and it would be unwise to cause Liu Bei's dissatisfaction by inching in.
After going back, Liu Bei had a good meal of appeasement to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and everyone and did not mention it for the time being.
Just when Liu Bei and the others were about to leave the next day, Liu Bei, who had been thinking about it all night, didn't know whether he wanted to give Zhang Yang some eye drops, or was worried that when Dong Zhuo was questioned in the future, his old brothers would be implicated by Dong Zhuo, so before leaving, he sent someone to tell Dong Zhuo about Jiang Da and the Yellow Turban's spies.
Although I don't know what Dong Zhuo planned to do after knowing about this, it is obvious that although Zhang Yang and others were accepted by Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yang did not get the treatment he wanted.
