Looking at the heads of Zhang Fei¡¯s family on the city wall, Lu Bu felt really guilty. He, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others planned to find someone to pretend to be Zhang Fei, trying to defraud Zitong City, but they were discovered by Sima Yi.
Lu Bu never thought that Liu Bei would treat Zhang Fei's family so harshly and viciously, because there was a good story between Liu Bei and Huang Quan in history, which showed that Liu Bei was a very tolerant monarch.
In that life, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and was about to conquer Wu. Huang Quan volunteered to be Liu Bei's vanguard and suggested that Liu Bei should stay in the rear instead of taking risks on the front lines. Liu Bei refused to listen and made Huang Quan the general of Zhenbei, supervising the Jiangbei army to prevent the Wei army. Liu Bei himself commanded the troops in Jiangnan. When Liu Bei was defeated, Liu Bei retreated and the road was blocked by the Wu army. Huang Quan could not return, so he led his men to surrender to Wei. In accordance with the law, a police officer reported that Huang Quan's family members were to be arrested. Liu Bei said, "I have been sorry for Huang Quan, but Huang Quan has not been sorry for me." So he still treated his family members as before. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi asked Huang Quan: "You gave up rebellion and came to submit, do you want to imitate Chen Ping and Han Xin?" Huang Quan replied: "I received special favor from Liu Bei, and could not surrender to Wu, nor could I return to Shu, so Come and surrender. Besides, a defeated general is lucky enough to be spared from death. How can he follow the example of the ancients?" Cao Pi admired him very much and appointed him General Zhennan. Some people who surrendered from Shu said that Liu Bei had killed Huang Quan's family. Huang Quan knew this was a lie and did not mourn immediately. Later, I got the exact news, and it was indeed the same as he had judged.
In this life, how could Liu Bei become like this? Lu Bu didn't realize that just because of his existence, Liu Bei's chance to be a good person was ruined. The situation Liu Bei is facing now is very embarrassing, and he has no time to be benevolent, righteous, and magnanimous. He was always worried whether the local generals in Sichuan and Sichuan would surrender and sell him to Lu Bu. He believed Sima Yi's judgment and thought that Zhang Fei had betrayed their Taoyuan righteousness, turned love into hatred, and poured out his betrayal anger on Zhang Fei's family, and he also wanted to frighten the local generals in Sichuan and Sichuan by massacring Zhang Fei's family, so that they would be afraid and work for him wholeheartedly, but his idea was completely wrong. When the situation was critical, not only did he not work together with his generals to hug each other to keep each other warm, but he also tried to make his generals submit with brutal killings. Such an approach would only make the generals abandon him more quickly.
The mistake Liu Bei made at this moment is roughly the same as the mistake Lu Bu made in Xiapi City.
Fazheng presided over the Military Intelligence Department. The agents he sent contacted the agents previously stationed in Zitong City and began to spread rumors among the Shu army that Liu Bei mistakenly killed Zhang Fei's family. To force Zhang Fei to rebel, Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Lei Tong and other Shu generals made a brief investigation. It was found that this rumor was not false. Liu Bei listened to Sima Yi's judgment and did not believe his good brother who had followed him loyally for more than ten years. He made such a mistake. What chilled the hearts of Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Lei Tong and others was that Liu Bei committed Such errors. He showed no guilt at all, refused to admit his mistake, and even sent people to kill the generals who discussed this matter.
Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Lei Tong and others held a secret meeting. They felt that Liu Bei was so ruthless and unjust to his sworn brother Zhang Fei, let alone those of them who later defected to Liu Bei. They were unanimously desperate and pessimistic about the future of Liu Bei and Sima Yi, which was a dead end. They were both young and prosperous, and they still had family members in Shu, so there was no need to accompany them to die in this isolated city.
After the meeting, they were worried that Sima Yi would make any quick moves, so they decided to open the city gate immediately and let the Central Army enter Zitong.
An agent from the Military Intelligence Department flew to Lu Bu early. Lu Bu quickly sent generals Zhang He and Wei Yan to lead the army into Zitong City. Lu Bu led a large group of troops to follow quickly.
Liu Bei and Sima Yi had not slept for three days. They were exhausted and were sleeping in the prefect's mansion in Zitong City. Suddenly someone reported that Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Lei Tong and others had surrendered to the city, and the Central Army had already attacked the prefect. Mansion.
Under the protection of the soldiers who were loyal to them, Liu Bei and Sima Yi fought and retreated until they reached the west gate. Sima Yi tried to fight through the west gate, fled into the hills, and then fled to the Qiang tribe.
Lu Bu had already captured Chen Qun, who was sent as an envoy to the Shengqiang tribe. Anticipating that Liu Bei and Sima Yi would only flee to the west gate, he personally led his troops to greet them outside the west gate.
Liu Bei and Sima Yi had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the west gate tower and fight stubbornly. At this time, he had less than 2,000 men under his command. There were nearly 200,000 people from the Central Army and the surrendered Shu Army inside and outside the city. In comparison with this strength, Liu Bei and Sima Yi What else can Sima Yi do?
Liu Zhang¡¯s younger brother Liu Gui was originally loyal to protect Liu Bei with a few troops, but soon heAfter being beaten and disabled, Liu Gui was stabbed to death by Zhang Yi on the spot, and most of his men surrendered.
Liu Bei looked around and saw that only the more than 400 veterans brought out from Zhuo County and more than a thousand Shu soldiers led by Shu general Zhuo Ying were left. As for Sima Yi and his hundreds of dead soldiers, they had disappeared without a trace. .
Liu Bei looked at Zhuo Ying gratefully: "You are still more loyal to me than Sima Yi."
Zhuo Ying smiled and said nothing.
They held on all night that night. Lu Bu seemed to have no intention of forcing Liu Bei to death immediately. He just sent 20,000 troops to surround the Ximen Tower. The other troops dispersed, reorganized and surrendered troops, and chased the defeated troops. , inventory the remaining parties of Liu Bei and Sima Yi and carry out propaganda and appeasement work.
Liu Bei fell asleep leaning against the city wall in a daze. When he woke up, he was all tied up. Looking around, he saw that more than 400 Zhuojun veterans were dead and wounded. Zhuo Ying, the loyal minister he had praised so much last night, was kneeling down. In front of Lu Bu, with a flattering smile, Zhuo Ying presented Liu Bei's male and female swords to Lu Bu with both hands.
Lu Bu had his male and female swords taken away. He originally wanted Liu Bei's Lu Ma, but learned that Liu Bei did not dare to go to Jingzhou to defect to Yuan Shao. Zhang Wu dedicated Lu Ma to Yuan Shao. Lu Ma later followed Yuan Shao and died in Jiangxia City. outside.
Lu Bu stared at Zhuo Ying. He could tell at a glance that this character was purely a soy sauce character in both novels and official history. Because he was Liu Gui's deputy general, he was suppressed by Liu Gui and forced to continue to be loyal to Liu Bei. But he was not reconciled to his fate of being buried by Liu Bei. At the last critical moment, he seized the opportunity and completed his counterattack against fate.
Deep down in his heart, Lu Bu hated such a surrendered general. Zhuo Ying reminded him of Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng in that life. Lu Bu wanted to stab Zhuo Ying to death with a halberd. But he thought rationally and realized that he was no longer the Lu Bu who betrayed his relatives and was trapped in the Baimen Tower. He was now more prominent than Cao Cao who besieged Lu Bu. His status had been reversed, and his mentality had to change. Zhuo Ying betrayed Liu Bei and contributed to the court. If Lu Bu kills him, he will not be able to win the trust of the generals who will surrender their troops. He also couldn't win the trust of the world, so Lu Bu tried his best to suppress his dislike of Zhuo Ying and said with a smile: "Zhuo Ying saw an opportunity in the battle and captured Liu Bei alive. He achieved great feats and was rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold. He was granted the title of Marquis of the Countryside and was promoted to the general of the best among thieves."
Zhuo Ying was overjoyed. He endured hardships and stayed by Liu Bei's side. Just waiting for this opportunity, the merits of surrendering the city and capturing the enemy chief are not of the same magnitude. Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Lei Tong and others surrendered, only to be rewarded with Baijin, Tinghou, and Pingthief Xiaowei.
However, the reward is just a reward, and the specific real power is based on each person's current ability and historical performance. Zhang Yi and Wang Ping are in charge of the first division. Lei Tong and Zhuo Ying could only take charge of one brigade.
Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "Xuande, now that things have happened, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Bei leaned lazily on the city wall, laughing loudly and saying: "God doesn't love Liu Xuande, what can I do!"
Lu Bu nodded. What Liu Bei said is right. In this time and space, Liu Bei has always been suppressed by Lu Bu. Every time he made some progress, he was suppressed by Lu Bu. It has been difficult to have a decent climate. It is true that God does not love Liu Xuande. In a novel Sky, Luo Guanshui, even if he wanted to praise Liu for demoting Cao, he could not ignore the basic historical facts. Liu Bei spent the first half of his life wandering around, and only found an opportunity for development in the Battle of Chibi. Guan Yu ruined everything, and Liu Bei died tragically in Baidi City.
Among Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei had the worst luck, no matter in official history or in romance, Liu Bei could finally separate himself from one side, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, dividing the world into three parts. But in this life, he met Lu Bu, His fate was destined to be even more tragic.
Lu Bu suddenly thought of how ridiculous it sounded for losers like Liu Bei to describe their failure as God's blessing, but it was also so close to the truth. If there hadn't been changes in time and space, the soul of the 21st century might have traveled to Lu Bu's body. This time and space will still develop as in history or romance, and in the end Liu Bei will still be the Emperor of Shu.
But Lu Bu couldn't say that. He sneered and said: "It's a big mistake. God won't bless you. It's all nonsense. You always pride yourself on your benevolence and righteousness. In fact, your benevolence and righteousness are all hypocrisy. Ask yourself, where have you been? , have you really made most of the people live and work in peace and contentment? Have you fulfilled all the things you promised them? If you have not fulfilled it, you are a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals your reputation. If a person like you really wins the world, he will be the world. The sorrow of all peoples.¡±
When any political force fails to win the world, it promises all kinds of very attractive things to the people. After using the people to win the world, it turns its face and refuses to admit it, and even uses some imperial literati to say that the previous promises were the ideas of foreign countries. Damn it, this behavior is so despicable and shameless, Liu Bang, Liu Bei, Li Shiminsuch shamelessThere have been too many rulers. Through the ages, Zhu Yuanzhang may have retained a little bit of humanity.
"But you don't give me time to develop. Every time I get a piece of land, you come over before I can manage it well!" Liu Bei felt that he was wronged. He kept talking about benevolence and righteousness for a long time, and it seemed that I also believe that I am truly a benevolent and righteous king.
"What is benevolence and righteousness? It can give most people a prosperous and dignified life. How dare you, a shameless scum like you who keep talking about benevolence and righteousness but actually only seek benefits for a small group of people around you, say that you are benevolent and righteous!" Lu Bu shouted angrily: "Do you dare to swear to God that after you take over the world, you are really willing to be truly benevolent and righteous?"
Liu Bei sighed: "Isn't this what the monarchs of the past and present are all like? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Now that you have won, no matter what you say, you are justified!" (To be continued)
