Chapter Seventy-Three: Liu Bei's Resentment
Coalition forces, barracks.
Liu Bei sat in his own military camp, this time in order to be able to stand out in this war, Liu Bei can be regarded as turning over his old bottom, almost smashing the pot and selling iron, gathering enough 3,000 soldiers, 3,000 men and horses, among the princes, he does not even have the qualifications to be at the bottom, just as Yuan Shu said that day, no matter reputation, soldiers and horses or official position, he Liu Bei is not qualified to sit here and lead an army alone, if it were not for Li Xuan, the three brothers might be able to stay, but they will never get such treatment, but in their hearts, for Li Xuan, Liu Bei didn't have much gratitude, and even faintly, there was a trace of hatred.
Yes, it's hate!
At the beginning, under Guangzong City, it was the three brothers who killed Zhang Jiao, but in the end, it was Li Xuan who beheaded Zhang Jiao by mistake, and it was from then on that Li Xuan began to become famous.
Liu Bei also knew that in fact, he couldn't complain about Li Xuan, and when they met several times later, Li Xuan was also courteous to the three brothers, especially this time, if it weren't for Li Xuan's arguments, he Liu Bei would not be able to lead an army alone and sit here.
But people's hearts, that's it, if Li Xuan is as unsatisfactory as Liu Bei, Liu Bei may not think much about it, and may even have a good time with Li Xuan, but what about the facts? Li Xuan is now an official worshipping General Zhenbei, the Marquis of Ji, the hero of the anti-Hu Dynasty, his reputation is great, he is powerful all over the world, and he is surrounded by fierce generals, and even the ministers of the family like the Yuan family have to take care of the other party, and they already have the atmosphere of becoming the overlord of one side.
Ha, it's so majestic, but this qiΔ should have belonged to me!
Sitting alone in his tent, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with a touch of bitter resentment, although he also knew it in his heart. Li Xuan can have today, more of it is still killed with a knife and a shot, but so what, if it is replaced by him Liu Bei, it is not impossible to do the same thing, and more importantly. He is a member of the Han family, if he had been summoned to the capital in the first place, maybe the Han family would not have fallen apart as it is now, and it may be a different weather.
It's just these things, and who will believe them when they say it?
Thinking of the end, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, now he is just a small plain county order. Even sitting here is a blessing for others, and the sourness in this heart is that even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are brothers, can't tell it, so they can only taste it silently in their hearts.
"Big brother!" Outside the tent, footsteps sounded, accompanied by Zhang Fei's voice that could be heard clearly from a distance of ten miles.
Liu Bei heard this. Pack up your mood and sit upright. A gentle smile also hung on his face.
As soon as the curtain was rolled, Zhang Fei had already walked in in a hurry, and when he saw Liu Bei, he grinned and said with a smile: "Big brother, there is a lot of fun!" β
"Oh?" Liu Bei had an interested look on his face. looked at Zhang Fei and said, "What makes Yide so happy." β
"Ugh." Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: "It's not a happy thing, then Sun Wentai is back." β
"Sun Wentai?" A flash of surprise flashed in Liu Bei's eyes: "Could it be that the Bishui Pass has been broken?" β
"Nope." Zhang Fei shook his head, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "I heard that Yuan Shu withheld military rations without permission, and guided Sun Wentai to cut off food for a few days, and was attacked by the guards of Bishui at night. Now that he has returned with the defeated army, he is arguing with Yuan Shao in the handsome tent, Yuan Shu is also cunning, and he blames all the faults on a military general under his command, hehe, are we all fools? If he didn't have Yuan Shu's secret permission, who would dare to deduct the military salaries of the princes at such times? β
"And what was the result?" Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.
"What else?" Zhang Fei pursed his lips and sneered: "After all, it is his own brother, it is about his own face, Yuan Shao just scolded Yuan Shu a few words, and asked people to behead the grain officer, this matter is over, big brother, I look at this alliance of princes, let's not participate, this hasn't started yet, my own people will plot against each other, tsk, it's a pity that Sun Jian's eight thousand elites, I went over to take a look, and the one who came back with him was not even a thousand!" I think that among these princes, Ziyang and Cao Cao are still a little bit like, and the rest, including Yuan Shao, are just a virtual appearance, what is the point of staying in such an alliance, it is better to go back early! β
"Hugh is talking nonsense!?" was in a good mood, but suddenly gloomy, Liu Bei now, I really don't want to hear Li Xuan's name, especially if his own brothers call each other with such an intimate title, it makes Liu Bei feel like a fish in his throat, looking at Zhang Fei's stunned look, Liu Bei slowed down, and said in a deep voice: "I came to participate in the alliance, not for my own interests, but to help the Han family, just like you encounter a little setback and have to go home, then the Han family, what hope is there in the future!?" β
"Brother is a lesson." Zhang Fei drooped his head and said with a look of shame.
"Okay, do your own thing, since Sun Jian is defeated, I think it will be time for the coalition army to move soon, during this period, train your own soldiers, by the way, what about Yun Chang? Why don't you see him? Liu Bei asked with some confusion.
"Oh! The second brother should be in Ziyang's military camp now, and the eldest brother also knows that Ziyang is obsessed with martial arts, and over the years, martial arts have also improved by leaps and bounds. Zhang Fei replied casually.
It's Li Xuan again.
Even if he tried his best to be patient, Liu Bei knew that his complexion at the moment must not be good-looking, maybe in Zhang Fei's opinion, they and Li Xuan had the righteousness of the past robe, and it was not a big deal to move around with each other more, but in Liu Bei's opinion, it changed its taste, and he faintly felt that the other party seemed to be interested in wooing his two brothers, otherwise with his current identity, why would he bother to hand over like this?
It's just that Liu Bei can't say it clearly, otherwise how should his two brothers think of themselves? It's just that this heart is really panicked.
In Li Xuan's barracks, he wiped the Han water on his face, handed the dragon slaying knife to the guards on the side, looked at Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "Thank you General Guan for your advice, I have benefited a lot from today's battle." β
Guan Yu looked at Li Xuan, and said with a rare smile on his face: "Jihou doesn't have to be too humble, with your current sword skills, looking at the world, there are not many people who can fight with Jihou." β
Li Xuan nodded, as far as the sword technique itself is concerned, he has reached the grandmaster-level Dacheng, only one step away from the grandmaster-level consummation, looking at the world, there are really not many people who can reach this level in the period of first-class generals, but he also knows that Guan Yu is talking about clichΓ©s, in this world, there are many people who surpass themselves in force, the realm of swordsmanship is only a part of the force, and the level of exercises, skills, and talents are all standards for measuring the strength of force, just like Guan Yu, who is now a great grandmaster-level swordsman, if it is just like this, At most, it is only 5 points higher than himself, but in fact, Guan Yu's force is almost 100, pulling out the distance of Li Xuan several streets, if the decisive battle is on the battlefield, even if Guan Yu kills Li Xuan in seconds, it will not be strange.
"Lord!" Xu Huang Pegasus came to the two of them and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "There is a Bishui guard to challenge Huaxiong outside the camp, and the Lord of the Yuan League has asked the princes to assemble outside the camp. β
"Since there is a war, then it is time for Guan to leave." When Guan Yu heard this, he arched his hand towards Li Xuan.
"General Guan walks slowly." Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
Guan Yu turned over and got on the horse, and when he passed by Dian Wei, the eyes of the two clashed in the air for a moment, and then he snorted coldly and rode away.
"This person is so rude!" Looking at Guan Yu's back, Dian Wei pouted.
"Yun Chang's personality is like this, Junming doesn't have to worry about it, go, follow me to see the majesty of Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"But the lord wants to subdue this person?" Walking on the road, Zhao Yun looked at Li Xuan and asked in a low voice.
"There's this idea." Li Xuan nodded, and did not evade, although the chance is not big, but how can you know if you don't try?
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Yunguan this person, he values righteousness and light profit, and if the lord wants to accept it, I'm afraid it will be difficult." β
"Zilong is really tactful when he speaks." Li Xuan smiled: "It's not that it's not difficult, but it's almost impossible, even if Liu Xuande dies in battle now, his two brothers are more likely to follow Liu Xuande and leave after revenge, and if they want to subdue it, it is almost impossible." β
"Since the lord knows, why ......" Zhao Yun looked at Li Xuan with some doubts.
"Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but good generals are hard to find!" Li Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It is precisely because of Yun Chang's temperament that he is even more inseparable." β
Zhao Yun nodded, this is an era of loyalty, but not all generals can do these two words, and those who can always implement these two words, looking at the world, how many people are there?
When the group rode their horses to the outside of the joint camp, they saw Hua Xiong's horizontal sword immediately showing off his might in front of the joint army camp, beside him, there were already three ownerless war horses, on the cold blades, the blood that had not dried up kept dripping, and the three headless corpses fell to the ground, dyeing the surrounding grass red.
Yuan Shao's face was pale, and the other princes, including Yuan Shu, did not look good.
When Li Xuan arrived, another person rode out on a horse, it was Mu Shun, the general of the Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang Department, who shouted loudly, and the person took advantage of the horse's momentum to stab Hua Xiong in distraction.
On the other side, Hua Xiong looked at Mu Shun, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned sideways slightly on the horse, avoiding Mu Shun's spear, and slashed Mu Shun off the horse with a backhand.
Hua Xiong slashed four generals in a row, stood in front of the princes' array, and laughed loudly.
Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and he looked at Sun Jian, who had confronted Huaxiong.
Huang Gai and Han Dang were eager for revenge and wanted to ask for war, but they were stopped by Sun Jian with his eyes, he was angry that Yuan Shu did not send military rations, and he was even more angry that Yuan Shao was unfair, seeing Yuan Shao looking over, he sneered and said indifferently: "The soldiers under Jian's command have not been full for a long time, and they are sleepy and lacking horses, how can they defeat Huaxiong?" β
When the princes heard this, they couldn't help but look at Yuan Shu in unison.
Yuan Shu was embarrassed when he heard this, and glanced at Sun Jian with some annoyance, but he didn't speak.
Yuan Shao sighed a little helplessly: "It's a pity that Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived under my account, so I have to be here alone, why be afraid of Huaxiong!" β
As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd and said loudly: "The last general, Guan Yu, is willing to behead Huaxiong!" (To be continued......)
