"Then the Yangzhou army formed an alliance with brother Liu Zhang. What benefits do you think I, Liu Bei, have? I admit that I was defeated by that little Liu Mang, and then I fled into Yizhou. I was originally afraid that the little Liu Mang would come and take my life. , how can we create another enemy!" Liu Bei said every word, almost bursting into tears!
Huang Quan is not the kind of person who has no opinions. He will naturally think and have ideas.
And now Liu Bei's words really touched him.
Yes, if their Yizhou Army allied with that Yangzhou Army, there would be no benefit of sharing the power with Liu Bei.
If Yizhou and Yangzhou had not formed an alliance before, Liu Bei would still have escaped death. Then once Yizhou and Yangzhou formed an alliance, he would have escaped death.
"This is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy!" Liu Bei cried to Huang Quan over there with tears in his nose, just like a young daughter-in-law meeting her own wife and crying about the evil deeds of the old Wang next door.
"How do you explain why your army attacked Jiangzhou some time ago?" Huang Quan asked Liu Bei over there.
"It's unfair, it's unfair! General Huang, how could you attack Jiangzhou when you see my army is so dusty? If I attack Jiangzhou, why should I abandon the near and seek far away!" Liu Bei now told Huang with the facts. Quan, if I attack you in Jiangzhou and just take a small road, I will kill you in one fell swoop.
Huang Quan fell silent.
He, Huang Quan, is simply embarrassed. He fell down twice in the same place, and now he was slapped in the face.
After being silent for a long time, Huang Quan finally said, "General Zuo, what do you want?!"
Huang Quan is not stupid. Liu Bei relaxed Huang Quan's restraints, gave him good words, and even entertained him with fine wine and delicacies. He must have wanted something.
The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
"General Huang Quan, since you understand everything, let me tell you straight away, someone must be instigating this!" Liu Bei also wiped his tears and said.
"Instigation?" Huang Quan asked doubtfully.
"This is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy against me, Liu Bei, and your Yizhou!" Liu Bei stood up. Ling Ran spoke very righteously.
"Conspiracy?"
"If my army is wiped out, who will benefit the most?" Liu Bei asked back,
"If Liu Bei's army is wiped out, the one who will benefit most is not the Yizhou army. But Liu Mang from Yangzhou.
"What do you mean?" The troops attacking Jiangzhou are all Jingzhou troops.
"General Huang Quan also knows, right? We are not the only Jingzhou army soldiers in Yizhou!" Liu Bei told Huang Quan coldly. Liu Bei had Pang Shiyuan beside him. After Jian Yong was sent back, although Liu Bei was The blow has arrived. He was also frightened, but he soon understood the key points.
That was when a Jingzhou army attacked Yizhou under the banner of Liu Beijun before them, which made Liu Zhang fall out.
Where is there another Jingzhou army in Yizhou?
After thinking about it, I really let Liu Bei know.
That is to say, there is indeed a second Jingzhou army in Yizhou, which is the army of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue that disappeared after entering Yizhou.
"All this is a conspiracy against brother Liu Zhang and me, and the person who carried out this conspiracy is that little Liu Mang! It doesn't matter if my army is defeated, it's just death at most, but brother Liu Zhang will have to endure the humiliation!" Liu Bei He looked like he was thinking about Liu Zhang.
"Tell me. General Zuo, what do you want?" Huang Quan finally calmed down. Whether he is the Yangzhou Army or Liu Bei, none of this has much to do with him. Huang Quan is the only one who cares. That is the lord Liu Zhang.
If what Liu Bei said is true and all this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the Yangzhou Army, Huang Quan will definitely not let the Yangzhou Army succeed.
It has to be said that although Liu Zhang is a conservative dog. He has no ambitions, but his father Liu Yan left him a lot of die-hard loyalists.
Liu Bei looked at Huang Quan's reaction and burst out laughing in his heart, but on the surface Liu Bei remained calm.
"How can Bei talk about asking for anything? Bei just wants to have a place in Yizhou and survive. How can he dare to ask for anything?" Liu Bei is now even more miserable than Meng Jiangnu.
"Jiangzhou will definitely not be able to give it to you!" Huang Quan looked at Liu Bei and said to Liu Bei
"As long as General Huang Quan informs brother Liu Zhang everything, Bei will immediately withdraw from Jiangzhou and return to Yong'an County. He will help brother Liu Zhang guard the gate of Yizhou for the rest of his life!" Liu Bei opened his mouth and swore.
"Okay. Without further ado, I will set off immediately and ask General Zuo to make arrangements.?Chariots and horses! "Huang Quan cupped his fists at Liu Bei and said.
Liu Bei's efficiency was not unsatisfactory. Soon a carriage stopped outside the mansion. For Huang Quan's safety, Liu Bei returned Huang Quan's personal guard camp to Huang Quan.
"General Huang Quan, take care!" Liu Bei began to play his emotional card again.
"Farewell!" Huang Quan's carriage and horses quickly left Jiangzhou overnight and headed towards Chengdu Prefecture over there.
Seeing Huang Quan leave, Zhang Fei beside him couldn't bear it any longer: "Brother, it's just Huang Quan. As for the big brother, do you want to see me off in person?" There is a reason why Zhang Fei looked down on Huang Quan. After the defeat, General, how can one be brave? What's more, Liu Bei was lying in Huang Quan's arms before, which made Zhang Fei feel uncomfortable.
"Third brother, this is just Huang Quan, but he can save our entire army!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and said, maybe he should not call him third brother in the future, it is best to call him third sister.
"Brother, do you really want to reconcile with Liu Zhang?" Zhang Fei didn't understand. Jian Yong was blinded by Liu Zhang and had his tongue cut off.
Although Jian Yong is not sworn sworn brother with Zhang Fei and others, he is not better than brother. He and Liu Bei were young.
"Reconciliation?!" Liu Bei's eyes also radiated light, with a hint of sternness in them. It's not that Liu Bei has no murderous intention or disgust, but he has always pretended to be benevolent, righteous and moral, so gradually even if he wants to If you want to kill someone, do it with a smile.
"How can there be reconciliation! There can only be one Uncle Liu in Yizhou!" Liu Zhang was also given the title of Uncle Emperor by the Han Emperor.
The relationship between Jian Yong and Liu Bei is no less than that between him and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
What's more, if Liu Zhang killed Jian Yong, Liu Bei might have covered it up. Now, in order to vent his anger, Liu Zhang blinded Jian Yong's eyes and cut off Jian Yong's tongue.
He also sent Jian Yong back.
"This is clearly meant to incite hatred. If Liu Bei and Liu Zhang reconcile, they will lose military morale.
¡°You can¡¯t even protect your own people, and you still want to reconcile with your enemies.
Doesn¡¯t this make the people under your hands feel chilly? Jian Yong is like this, but what about others?
So it¡¯s public and private. It is possible for Liu Bei to reconcile with Liu Zhang.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhang Fei became more and more confused. He didn't understand what Liu Bei was thinking. He felt that he was not from the same world as Liu Bei and others.
"My Lord, how could we enter Chengdu Mansion without Huang Quan?" Pang Shiyuan's figure appeared behind the two of them.
"Shiyuan, you're back!" Liu Bei saw Pang Shiyuan and hurriedly greeted him.
"My lord, three generals!" Pang Shiyuan returned the greeting.
Liu Bei complained to Huang Quan. Let Huang Quan go back and tell Liu Zhang what happened, and admit that he meant to free himself. Liu Bei also had his own purpose.
It¡¯s not about forming an alliance with Liu Zhang. Even if we form an alliance with Liu Zhang, what can we do?
Liu Zhang is timid and fearful, and there is no telling whether he will be able to sell him to Liu Bei at any time. In this case, Liu Bei will have to replace him.
Let Huang Quan go back just to paralyze Liu Zhang.
Let Liu Zhang see that he, Liu Bei, was actually wronged and everything had nothing to do with him. He begged Liu Zhang and was willing to let him guard the door. All of this was to make Liu Zhang relax his vigilance.
"Is the army ready?" Liu Bei asked Pang Shiyuan over there.
"It's been prepared a long time ago!" Pang Shiyuan said with a smile. Pang Shiyuan was unable to attend the dinner just now, so he went to prepare. "We just need to wait for news from Chengdu before we can send out troops!"
"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded. With Pang Shiyuan here, Liu Bei had never lost except when he was defeated by Liu Mang in Yangzhou.
"Have you sent envoys to Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu?" Liu Bei continued to ask. Liu Bei's purpose was to introduce Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei into Yizhou. Completely muddy the water in Yizhou.
Let Yizhou become a swamp, completely trapping Liu Mang of Yangzhou.
"Not yet! But the envoys to Xudu have been sent out!" Pang Shiyuan said.
"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded and took the Chengdu Mansion. This was Liu Bei's certificate of surrender. It was also his way of intimidating Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei.
"Send the envoy as soon as possible, when my army is dispatched!" Liu Bei didn't have much time. He wanted to capture Chengdu and also make Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu form an alliance.
"Huh!" Pang Shiyuan nodded.
¡¡
The residence of the King of Wei in the capital of Xu.
Now the decisions of the entire northern Han Dynasty are made in the palace of King Wei. The palace in Xudu is no more than a decoration.
This has long been an unspoken rule. The Han Emperor was just a puppet, and the real center of power was King Cao Cao of Wei.
So many people only know about the King of Wei but not about the Emperor of Han.
Cao Cao was in his mansion that day, just about to have fun, when someone came to inform him.
"Report to the King of Wei, Shangshu Xun, asking for an audience!" The Shangshu Xun here is no longer Xun Yu, but Xun You.
Because Xun Yu opposed Cao Cao's claim to the throne, he was transferred to the north by Cao Cao early.
Now in Liaodong, two brothers Xun Cen are in love and killing each other.
"Gongda wants to see you?" Cao Cao pondered.
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to that minister, just stay with me alone today!" A concubine in Cao Cao's arms said coquettishly to Cao Cao.
If it were normal days, Cao Cao might have responded directly. Because since Cao Cao became the King of Wei, nobles from all walks of life had visited frequently. Cao Cao had long been fed up with it, so he found an excuse to do whatever he wanted.
But today it was different. "Get out!" Cao Cao waved his hand and threw away the beautiful lady in his arms like a burden.
"Come here, take a shower and change clothes with me, and let Gongda wait in the main hall!" Cao Cao said to his bodyguards.
"Yes!" The personal guards under his command were about to leave after hearing the order.
"Slow down!" Cao Cao suddenly stopped the guards over there, "Let's just go alone!" Cao Cao stood up directly, not caring about the rouge and gouache on his face, he stood up directly and headed towards the main hall. .
In the main hall, Xun You is waiting and thinking about something.
"Xun Shangshu, please have tea! My lord will be here soon!" Naturally, someone in Cao Cao's mansion knew Xun You and poured tea for him, so that he could wait for Cao Cao's arrival with peace of mind.
"Yes!" Xun You nodded, obviously absent-mindedly. He put his hand on the teacup beside him, picked it up and put it into his mouth.
"Ah!" Xun You jumped up when the tea entered his mouth. The tea was hot.
"Gongda, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" Cao Cao's voice rang.
Xun You didn't care about burning his mouth. He saw the person coming and said to Cao Cao's luggage, "Xun You has seen the king!"
"Gongda, why are you so polite! Come on, come on, sit down!" Cao Cao greeted Xun You over there.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Unlike his uncle, Xun You is not die-hardly loyal to the Han Dynasty. In his opinion, as long as there is such a person who can unify the world, can carry out his Xun You ambitions, and can bring peace to the world, then this person is The person he Xunyou wants to be loyal to.
It¡¯s obvious that Cao Cao did it.
This is why, after Cao Cao moved Xun Yu to the left, he still trusted Xun You.
"Your Majesty, what's on your face?!" Xun You raised his head and saw what was on Cao Cao's face.
"On her face?" Cao Cao asked someone to bring a bronze mirror, and then he realized that her face actually had red lips printed on it. Lao Cao didn't mean to be embarrassed at all and just brushed him off. It's not like everyone didn't know about Lao Cao's hobbies.
"Does Gongda have something important to come here like this?" Cao Cao asked Xun You.
Listening to Cao Cao's questions, Xun You entered the state and nodded, "Your Majesty, there is really something important! The governor of Chang'an sent people 800 miles away to send an urgent report!"
Before Xun You finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up anxiously, "Chang'an? Is Ma Chao resurrected?" Cao Cao was able to have fun these days, not for other reasons, but because Ma Chao's army was defeated by his old Cao Cao. . This gave Cao Cao the free time to be happy.
"It's not Ma Chao!" Xun You shook his head.
"It's not Ma Mengqi? Who can make our governor Zhong issue an urgent call of eight hundred miles!" When he heard that it was not Ma Chao, Cao Cao felt relieved and started joking.
Xun You glanced at Cao Cao, and his expression did not change. He was the same as Cao Cao at the beginning, but after he learned the news from Chang'an, he was no longer so calm.
"My lord, Liu Bei has sent an envoy!" With just this sentence, Cao Cao over there was as stunned as Xun You was at first. (To be continued.)
