With the passing of winter, Liu Xie's heart is becoming heavier and heavier.

Even if they worked so hard to prepare, the strength of the soldiers and horses that Liu Xie could really increase in his hands was only a handful.

Liu Xie knew that everyone had done their best, but this sky didn't seem to want to let this Liu Xie continue to survive.

Nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, and four years of college, Liu Xie thought through all the knowledge that he could think of in his mind, and he still didn't find anything related to the art of war.

I didn't find any power politics, I didn't think about how to make gunpowder and muskets...

What nitrate, sulfur, carbon, what one, two, three... He's an ordinary person, isn't it good to have time to see the young lady dance?

Look at the teachers who taught him beautiful and moving postures... Isn't knowledge good?

It's really not good to open a few games, chat with a few girls, watch some old movies, why is it better than making bombs!

God, this dog's day, he just threw himself here, he has this little brain, where can he survive in this troubled world?

Now that something has happened, he doesn't care about himself, he is all open, why did a meteorite fall when Liu Xiu didn't work, and now he is going to have an accident, why didn't there be a big thunder that directly killed those damn rebels and thieves?

Brute... Thief God!

scolded God again and again in his heart, Liu Xie seemed to have entered the countdown of life.

He was even already thinking about whether he would lead everyone generously to his death if the day came when the rebels rushed into the main hall, or would he be the same as in history... Change to a powerful minister, and continue to be a bird in his own cage and a fat meat in the mouths of others.

Watching his own women being taken away, watching his children being killed in front of him.

Looking. Watching others mock themselves for decades, and then sway themselves to their heart's content in the history books?

Liu Xie didn't know, but he couldn't help but think...

But just when he was about to accept his fate, a piece of news came again, as if opening such a gap in the dim sky.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Yan, who was in charge of contacting Zhang Ji and the others, ran back in person, "Outside Tongguan, there is a soldier and horse who wants to ask to see Your Majesty, the person who is the leader... It seems to be the Liu Xuande that His Majesty mentioned before? ”

"Liu Bei?" When Liu Xie heard this, he was suddenly stunned, "Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei? ”

"That's right, it's that Xuzhou Mu!" Zhao Yan nodded again, "It's just that he is probably not worthy of Xuzhou Mu now, it is said that Lu Bu took advantage of the time when Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were fighting, and directly led the army to attack Liu Bei's Xiapi."

In the end, Xia Pi was stolen from Liu Bei...."

"It doesn't matter!" Liu Xie didn't want to listen to these things anymore, "So where is Liu Bei now?" ”

"Just outside Tongguan, I asked to enter Chang'an to meet Your Majesty, that Zhang Ji didn't know at this time... Do you want to let him go..."

"Put!" Liu Xie gave the order directly without thinking about it, "Tell Zhang Ji to let him go immediately, and then let Liu Bei come to see me immediately!" ”

"Yui!"

"Wait!" Liu Xie interrupted Zhao Yan again when he was about to leave, "Then how many soldiers and horses did Liu Bei bring?" ”

“... Less than a thousand! ”

"...."Liu Xie's face darkened, "He was really beaten miserably, so the Elk family was bankrupt to help him... This is really a blood mold. ”

Liu Xie muttered helplessly in his heart, and then asked Zhao Yan to go immediately.

After Zhao Yan left, Liu Xie slowly calmed down and re-examined his order.

Although, Liu Xie must admit that he was a little impulsive just now, when he had nothing and was so dangerous, Liu Bei's sudden appearance gave him a glimmer of hope and wanted him to catch it.

But... Is Liu Bei really that suitable?

"Cao Mengde, who has been scolded all his life, Cao Mengde, a national thief, did not call the emperor until he died, and even said it, there are several people in the world who are not alone, and how many people are called kings..."

"Liu Bei, who refused to slaughter the city and shocked the world with benevolence and virtue all his life, took care of the general's family before he died, but he was still telling his children not to take the good as small, and not to take the evil as small, but he founded the third Han Dynasty.

The era name of Zhang Wu was established..."

"But... Is this their faithfulness? ”

"Cao Mengde also served the country loyally, and did not hesitate to break with the family to let the Han kill the eunuchs, how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials he offended after being a eunuch.

The allies fought for power and profit, and they fought for each other, and it was he who rushed over with his soldiers and horses, trying to pull the big man out of the quagmire..."

"Liu Bei said when he was a child, he wanted to take the canopy!

Can... The oppression of life has long smoothed out all his edges and corners, and finally has the hope of rising, but it is shattered.

Now he may have forgotten the false words of his childhood. ”

"It is this troubled world that makes their talents continue to grow, and it is this force that pushes them forward.

Cao Mengde already has his own foundation and power, and he is destined not to walk on the same path with himself again.

That Liu Bei... He seems to be still adrift.

I'm afraid he doesn't really have that kind of mind in his heart... If so..."

Liu Xie kept talking to himself in his heart, wanting to analyze those who are now known to future generations, their thoughts, their thoughts...

In the end, Liu Xie's talent may not be able to do this kind of thing, he can only hope to take a step and see a step...

"But Liu Bei has only a thousand people under his command, even if he really has that kind of mind, he can't do anything to me...

Even if they use each other, as long as they get through this difficulty, there is no possibility of competition.

That's it... That's it..."

Liu Xie finally took a deep breath, and let this matter go first, and everything was said when Liu Bei came.

Zhao Yan didn't let Liu Xie wait too long, he personally flew away, and then rushed directly into Chang'an City with Liu Bei and several of his henchmen.

Liu Bei, accompanied by Jian Yong and a general who looked about the same height as him, or even thinner than him, did not have that pass, and there were no soldiers and horses to escort him.

This attitude made Liu Xie feel a lot more at ease.

"Minister, Xuzhou Mu, Anguo General Liu Bei, meet Your Majesty!"

In Weiyang Palace, when Liu Bei saw the young Liu Xie, there was also a slight excitement on his unsmiling face, and then he knelt directly in front of Liu Xie.

The attitude is respectful and the etiquette is thoughtful.
