69. Zhaolie Trial VII
"Whoever comes is named!" The guard of the town Shouchen shouted loudly to Liu Bei.
The man who spoke was in his sixties, nine feet tall, with large shoulders and a round waist, and his voice was like a gong beating a drum. A golden helmet and golden armor were dazzling, and the dragon head and phoenix tail knife in his hand shimmered in the simulated sunlight in the trial.
Liu Bei clasped his hands into fists and said: "After King Jing of Xiazhong, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Shu Han, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande." I don't know the name of my predecessor?"
When the general laughed when he heard this, he said, "Heaven's will! Providence! I didn't expect to wait for the opportunity to take revenge here, I am the nephew of Gaozu and the second uncle of Emperor Jing Liu Qi - Liu Bi! ”
When Liu Bei heard the word Liu Bi, he was shocked. Back then, before Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he was angry in the game and killed the only son of Liu Bi, the king of Wu.
From then on, Liu Bi had a grudge for 20 years, lying on the salary and tasting courage, recruiting troops and buying horses, until Emperor Jing listened to Chao Cuo's advice after succeeding to the throne, and issued an order to cut the domain, Liu Biguang, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, Liu Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, and other princes and kings of the clan surnamed Liu, launched a rebellion in the name of "Qingjun side". Overnight, 300,000 troops and horses marched westward to take Chang'an. History is known as the Rebellion of the Seven Kings.
The rebel army attacked and killed until Suiyang City, and Emperor Jing's own brother, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, struggled to defend it, which bought time for the counterattack.
Then, the general Zhou Yafu adopted the strategy of cutting off the rebels' grain route and broke the Seven Kings Alliance.
Liu Biao, the king of Wu, hurriedly fled to Dongyue, and the king of Dongyue was lured by Emperor Jing to trick Liu Biao into going out to work in the army, and stabbed him to death with a halberd.
"This Liu Bi and Emperor Jing have a hatred of killing their sons and destroying the country, and I am the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing. Liu Bei thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand.
He said: "Since you and I are blood relatives, why do you want to fight, I do have a difficult matter, I am anxious to break the formation, and I implore my ancestors to want to let me!" ”
"What about blood relatives? At present, why not kill the killer! Great-great-grandson, your grandfather, I let you fly away today! Liu Bi couldn't bear the thousand-year-old grudge, and swung his knife directly at Liu Bei.
After listening to Liu Bi's words, Liu Bei was thoughtful, but when he saw that the blade was coming, he didn't continue to think about it.
Liu Bei is the remainder of a hundred battles, and although he is old, his martial arts foundation is still very deep.
I saw that he didn't dodge, he directly pulled out his sword, and replaced defense with offense, and the blade swept straight at Liu Bi's wrist holding the knife.
Liu Bi subconsciously protected his hands, and when he dodged, the phoenix mouth knife deviated from the direction, slashed into the air, and directly plunged into the ground beside Liu Bei.
Seeing that the blow was missed, and Liu Bei attacked with a sword, he quickly turned around and hit Liu Bei's sword-holding arm with a roundabout kick.
Liu Bei was kicked by this, lost his center of gravity, stumbled forward more than a dozen steps, and still fell to the ground, fortunately, the saber did not take off.
Liu Bi took the opportunity to pull out the phoenix mouth knife from the land, turned over and slashed diagonally at Liu Bei, who fell to the ground.
Liu Bei didn't have time to turn around, only to feel the cold wind behind him, and immediately turned the saber upside down, only to hear the huge sound of metal impact, Liu Bei's saber was broken into two in response, and Liu Bi was also shocked by the reaction force of the sword impact, and took a few steps back.
Liu Bei took the opportunity to stand up and flew towards Liu Bi, Liu Bi couldn't dodge, he was stopped by Liu Bei and hugged and knocked away, the phoenix mouth knife was out of his hand, and the blade was inserted into the ground alone.
Liu Bi's sandbag-sized fist rained down on Liu Bei's back.
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and hugged Liu Bi tightly.
After the two were entangled for a few minutes, Liu Bi stumbled and fell backwards. His weight of more than 200 catties, dozens of catties of battle armor, plus Liu Bei, smashed to the ground, and even the Fengdu Earthquake Bureau could monitor the data.
The phoenix knife that had just been inserted into the ground was also affected by the earthquake and gradually tilted, and the direction in which it fell was the center of the epicenter.
I saw that under the blade of the phoenix's mouth, blood was dripping, and the owner of the blood was Liu Bi.
Liu Bei laboriously pulled out his hands from under Liu Bi's body, because of the movement of Liu Bi's body, its huge head could no longer rest on the neck that had been cut off by the blade, like a frightened armadillo, rolling to the side with a golden helmet.
Liu Bei, who was in shock, sat on the ground, coughing incessantly, and the traces of blood at the corners of his mouth became clearer and clearer.
Fortunately, the Chen character position and the meeting place were not far from the noon position, Liu Bei reluctantly got up and walked next door.
In front of the noon position, except for Tan Heng, everyone arrived, and seeing Liu Bei coming over tiredly, Luo Kang hurriedly helped.
"Uncle Liuhuang, how are you?" Luo Kang asked.
"It's okay, a fierce battle, a fluke victory." Liu Bei was physically exhausted, and tried to tell his experience in the least amount of language.
"Look over there!" Chen Anya suddenly shouted.
I saw that opposite the entrance of the noon position, the gentle breeze blew away the fog, and a winding river suddenly came into everyone's eyes.
"Alright, we're broken! Let's get out, everybody! Wang Yongjian said.
"What about Tan Heng and Zhang Shaojie?" Yi Xiaoqian asked in a panic.
"King Taishan won't let them have anything to do, let's go!" Liu Xing said to Yi Xiaoqian.
After walking for a short time, everyone arrived at the banks of the Yangtze River.
The water of the Yangtze River flows slowly, like a mirror, under the sunlight, the mist floats on it, through the fog, surrounded by mountains, there is a city with a majestic seat, this is the White Emperor City.
Baidi City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, on Baidi Mountain, looking at Kuimen in the east, facing Baiyan Mountain across the river in the south, facing Fengjie County in the west, and leaning on Jigong Mountain in the north.
A large road extends down the city gate, crossing the Yangtze River and leading to the opposite bank. Luo Kang, Zhuge Yun and his party followed this road to the city.
"Your Majesty is here, quickly open the city gates!" Luo Kang shouted loudly as the soldiers who called the door in Ma'anshan.
The soldiers defending the city saw that everyone under the city was wearing the battle clothes of the Shu army, and one of them was wearing a dragon robe, and hurriedly opened the door and knelt down to greet him.
The garrison of White Emperor City led his subordinates, hurriedly ran out of the city gate, knelt down beside Liu Bei and said, "The villain is late, please atone for your sins." Prime Minister Zhuge has sent a fast horse here, and the city defense has been properly arranged, please rest assured, Your Majesty will arrive later. ”
Liu Bei and the others entered the city, and everyone obeyed the arrangement of the garrison and returned to their rooms to rest.
In the room, Zhuge Yun was hiding things in his heart, restless, and after some psychological struggle, he still decided to tell Luo Kang what Zhang Liang had entrusted him.
"You and I get the same information." After Luo Kang saw Zhuge Yun, he told Zhuge Yun in detail about his encounter with Huang Chengyan, and then said this.
"Then how should we send Liu Bei to be reincarnated? What is his obsession? Zhuge Yun asked.
"Let's take a look at what's in the bag!" Luo Kang said.
"How's that going to work? Zhang Liang said let me read it to Liu Bei! Zhuge Yun covered the pocket containing the bag, without the slightest intention of letting Luo Kang see it.
Luo Kang said disdainfully: "Then what are you waiting for? Go to your master in your past life! ”
"You're here! Ahem...... You may be seated! Liu Bei saw Zhuge Yun walk into the door and reluctantly sat up from the bed.
Zhuge Yun ran two steps, helped Liu Bei and said, "You don't have to be polite, lie down!" ”
Liu Bei didn't listen to Zhuge Yun's words, he still sat up and leaned on the head of the bed.
He said: "When we met for the first time, I had hallucinations, thinking that you were Kong Ming, ahem...... Please don't blame the faux pas. I got out of trouble today, thanks to all of you, and there are two young heroes whose lives and deaths are unknown, cough cough...... However, I do not yet know your names and origins, so could you please let me know that I will thank you again one day! ”
Zhuge Yun poured a cup of tea from the table, handed it to Liu Bei, took out his bag and said: "You don't have to know our origins, we have our own benefits to save you from trouble, the two young heroes you said should not have to worry about their lives, you don't have to worry about us." ”
Zhuge Yun considered that Liu Bei was still an obsessive soul now, so he couldn't help but worry about it again, so he didn't tell himself and everyone the origin and purpose.
Liu Bei took a sip of tea, his cough seemed to be better, and he said, "Then why are you here?" ”
Zhuge Yun opened the bag, took out the paper inside, and said to Liu Bei: "This paper was handed to me by an immortal, and it was the last words left by Prime Minister Zhuge after his death. ”
"What do you say? Kong Ming is dead? cough cough cough ......" Liu Bei almost jumped up in surprise, and the excessive movement made him cough even more.
"No, no, Prime Minister Zhuge is not dead!" Zhuge Yun found that he was a little speechless, and quickly turned his brain, trying to make up a relatively reasonable explanation that Liu Bei could accept.
"I'm from the future!"
After Zhuge Yun finished speaking, the room was silent.
After being embarrassed for a long time, Liu Bei took the lead and said, "I understand, tell me what Kong Ming said!" ”
Zhuge Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll read it to you now!" ”
The text reads:
Liang bowed his head and bowed to Emperor Zhaolie, and saw the words as faces:
Since His Majesty the White Emperor City has been entrusted to Gu, Liangfen has never slackened, and he must bow down to himself, lest the young masters of others do not do their best.
However, Liangwen could not make the country rich, and Wu Jiu's attack on the Central Plains was unsuccessful. Don't accept Wei Yanwei Wenchang's words, and miss the opportunity to take Chang'an. The employment is unknown, worship the horse and the horse is often a general, and the street pavilion is lost. I really live up to the great trust of His Majesty.
The mandate of heaven is based on, not human will, I often look at the stars, I know that His Majesty has a murderous intention when he is lonely, so according to the eight arrays, in the four directions of Shu, eight mountains, nine rivers, ten cities set up an altar Zhai Jiao, if His Majesty and Weichen ascend to the sky together on June 10, you can ensure that Shu has ten years of wind and rain.
However, His Majesty is benevolent, but entrusted by great events, how dare Liang not bow and do his best.
After Wuzhang Yuan, Liang has entrusted the future affairs to Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo, and it is expected that he will do his best to assist the young master. According to the eight formations, he built camps in various places in Shuzhong, and built the array eye in the Yinping camp, where the terrain is extremely dangerous, and the three thousand defenders can reach one million male divisions. In this way, although it is difficult to support the Han family, it can protect His Majesty's foundation for a hundred years.
Bright in the ten halls, I learned that His Majesty's wandering soul has not yet been reincarnated, and I begged to see it, but the old gentleman personally issued a decree and ordered me to go to reincarnation immediately.
When I was helpless, I wrote this letter by hand and handed it to Zhang Zifang, who passed the decree, hoping that Your Majesty would see it in the future.
After Zhuge Yun finished reading the contents of the letter, Liu Bei burst into tears. He took the letter and read it carefully several times.
"This letter is not Kong Ming's handwriting!" Liu Bei said.
"Yes, the letter was hand-copied by Zhang Liang's seniors." Zhuge Yun replied.
"I want Kong to know that I want to kill him, but I still think about Sheji, how can I not be a villain!" Liu Bei stopped talking, beat his chest, and regretted.
He continued: "My son Liu Chan is stubborn, and I am afraid that he will have to deal with Kong Ming's life, and I want to give up the throne to repay him for his kindness to assist me."
Of course, Zhuge Yun knows history, and he said: "I'm afraid that Prime Minister Zhuge won't accept it!" ”
Liu Bei was emotional and kept coughing, Zhuge Yun hurriedly brought another cup of tea and fed Liu Bei to drink, which was better.
"This letter seems to be incomplete!" Liu Bei stopped coughing and said.
Zhuge Yun: "That's right, Zhang Liang's predecessor said that the content of the letter involves heavenly machines, but only part of it is copied here." ”
Liu Bei sighed and said, "I already know Kong Ming's heart, and everything else doesn't matter!" ”
"Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge has arrived!" Suddenly, the herald entered the door and knelt down.
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to meet him, but after a violent cough, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth, and then he fell backwards on the bed, unconscious!
