Chapter 794: Liu Bei's reaction
Liu Bei, who was in Jiangxia, was discussing with Xu Shu after his envoy to Jiangdong.
Liu Bei is in a heavy mood now.
Xu Shu came back with Sun Ce's approval of the alliance, but asked Liu Bei to go to Jiangdong in person to discuss the details. Originally, there was no big problem for Liu Bei to go to Jiangdong in person. Jiangdong is stronger than him. In order to protect Jiangdong's safety, it is a force to gain strength. Liu Bei dares to guarantee his safety.
But Wei Yan, who went to Jiangdong with Xu Shu, brought Liu Bei very bad news. Sun Ce was interested in recruiting Xu Shu and gave Xu Shu a very expensive gift. Wei Yan couldn't tell whether Xu Shu was thinking, but Xu Shu was very happy after accepting the gift.
This made Liu Bei feel resentful. Xu Shu would not have forgotten his righteousness when he saw profit and thoughts. If this were the case, what would Liu Bei do in the future? Liu Bei had been ups and downs for so many years and finally found a military advisor. Without Xu Shu, Liu Bei would return to the situation of not having a military advisor and would be in trouble in the future. If he got used to someone, he would really worry about losing him.
Xu Shu said to Liu Bei with a smile: "Lord, Sun Ce has agreed to join forces. As long as the lord goes to discuss some details with Sun Ce, the lord's plan to retake Xuzhou will be successful."
Liu Bei was always a little worried when he looked at Xu Shu now. After all, it seemed that Xu Shu didn't tell him, and Sun Ce admired him very much.
When Xu Shu saw Liu Bei not speaking, he was a little confused. If this matter was successful, Liu Bei would like to reward him no matter how helpless he was. His expressionless face seemed as if his beloved woman had been poached by someone else.
Poaching? Xu Shu finally understood why Liu Bei was like this. It must be Wei Yan who told him what Sun Ce wanted to recruit him.
Xu Shu's face remained silent, and then he took out the ancient book that Sun Ce gave him from his arms and smiled and said, "Lord, look. In order to please me, Sun Ce even gave out such ancient books worth ten thousand gold. It's such a big deal."
Liu Bei was a little stunned. What a guy, an ancient book worth ten thousand gold! Xu Shu must have been moved.
Xu Shu continued: "Sun Ce has bad intentions and uses this ancient book to discord between his lord and me. What a relationship between his lord and me. Such a low-level trick is simply unavailable."
"Lord, even if this thing is worth ten thousand gold, I can't have the friendship between you and me. I will regard it as dirt!" Xu Shu threw this ancient book at the brazier very casually, but the force was very small, and the ancient book just fell to the ground.
Liu Bei was moved by Xu Shu's righteous appearance, so he hurriedly picked up the ancient book from the ground and said, "Yuanzhi, this ancient book is worth ten thousand gold, it would be a pity to throw it away. Sun Ce gave you such a precious thing, which further proves how blessed Liu Bei was. He could only stare at it. In my opinion, you can keep this thing."
"Lord, the reason why I left this thing is to personally show that I am absolutely loyal to my lord. Lord, let's throw this thing away." Xu Shu said pretendingly. In fact, he felt so distressed that he was dying. This is an ancient book worth tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe this is just one in this world.
Liu Bei is quite good at being a human being. The things in his hands are very expensive. Liu Bei can't take such things out of his hands, so he said, "Since the military advisor insists, Liu Bei won't force it. Let's do this, let's put this ancient book here first. When the military advisor wants to read it, then tell Liu Bei."
Liu Bei also likes valuable things and quietly puts this ancient book into his pocket.
Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Bei showed that he didn't mind Sun Ce's recruitment of him.
The matter about Sun Ce's recruitment came to an end. Liu Bei could not do anything to Xu Shu now. After all, he still needed Xu Shu to give him advice.
"Military advisor, is this Sun Bofu from Jiangdong reliable?" Liu Bei asked.
Liu Bei has failed too much in recent years. He is a little worried before he has started implementing the plan.
"Master, don't worry. Jiangdong is facing Liu Yu now, and Sun Bofu will never joke about his foundation. I will also give Sun Bofu a plan to unite the princes of the world to fight against Liu Yu. When you go to Jiangdong, you don't have to worry that Sun Bofu will break his promise. However, depending on Zhou Gongjin's intention, there may be some conditions. Lord, you must be careful at that time." Xu Shu reminded.
"Conditions? We only have one Jiangxia left now. Do we have to make conditions in Jiangdong?" Liu Bei was very puzzled.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "The world is full of prosperity and prosperity. Zhou Yu is a strategist, so he will naturally seek benefits for his lord. According to the following prediction, Zhou Yu may ask that Jingzhou may be divided into a large portion to Jiangdong after repelling Liu Yu."
"This? Jiangdong has such a big appetite? Isn't this bullying?" Liu Bei was really dissatisfied. He had long regarded Jingzhou as his own. If Jiangdong came over and got a share of the pie, Liu Bei would be helpless.
"Master, why don't we agree to him?! Even if we give the entire Jingzhou to Jiangdong, Jiangdong must be able to defend it. Jingzhou and Jiangdong are originally enemies, so it is impossible for Sun Ce to take Jingzhou all of them. Don't forget, you also want Cao Cao's cunning guy, he will not be able to do his best. At that time, the lord can wander between Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and Jingzhou will be in the hands of the lord in the end." Xu Shu said indifferently.
"What the military advisor said is very true!" Liu Bei felt that it made sense. Cao Cao would not give Jingzhou to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce would not divide Jingzhou to Cao Cao. In this way, he could benefit from this.
But Liu Bei always had a thorn in his heart. After Xu Shu went to Jiangdong this time, he did not believe in Xu Shu so much, and always felt that he had to be a little more careful about Xu Shu. Nowadays, the easiest thing to betray him is the counselor he believed most.
While Liu Bei and Xu Shu were discussing, Zhang Fei rushed in and shouted: "Brother, it's not good. Something big happened!"
Liu Bei was a little speechless. Zhang Fei was impatient in his work and had no demeanor of a general at all, so he shouted, "If you have anything to do, you are so nervous."
Zhang Fei took out a roll of silk cloth and said anxiously: "Brother, Liu Yu, in the name of the Emperor of Han, announced that the world had abolished the identity of the Han clan relatives of the eldest brother, and accused you of being a rebel in the Han Dynasty, and everyone could be punished!"
Liu Bei was shocked. Liu Yu was hitting him with this move. Liu Bei relied on his identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty over the years. With this identity, he could easily show his existence among the princes and the people. The Han Dynasty still pays great attention to his background. Without a noble identity, who would believe you?
Now, Liu Yu lost the trump card that Liu Bei relied on for survival with an edict. No wonder Zhang Fei was so anxious.
"Brother, are you okay? Don't scare me." Zhang Fei asked hurriedly.
Wei Yan looked at Liu Bei without saying a word, and he felt much more aware. He had become sworn brothers with Liu Bei before, and he was already working as a relative of the Han Dynasty in order to make himself successful in the future. However, now that Liu Yu abolished Liu Bei's Han Dynasty identity, Wei Yan had to consider it.
Liu Bei's heart was moving quickly, and he thought a lot about what would happen if he lost his status as a relative of the Han Dynasty. What would he do next?
Xu Shu also looked at Liu Bei with concern, hoping that Liu Bei would not be unable to stand the blow.
Liu Bei recovered very quickly and hurriedly said, "Haha, Liu Yu is indeed extremely stupid. Liu Bei's Han family relatives were confirmed by the late emperor and the sect was included in the genealogy. The one who inherited the throne of the late emperor was His Majesty from Shouchun. At most, he was a pseudo-emperor. All the princes in the world were wise, so it was no big deal. Don't worry about Liu Bei, it's nothing."
"That's right, that guy Liu Yu is too arrogant. Brother, don't worry. Everyone in the world knows the identity of the Han family. So what if Liu Yu tells the world? This will not change anything at all. Liu Yu is a superfluous person, and this is an extra move." Wei Yan echoed around Liu Bei, but it is unknown whether his heart is as he said.
"The fourth brother is right. Let's get here today. I'm tired too, so you can go down first. The matter of joining Sun Ce is decided like this. Military advisor, you are responsible for the specific matters of joining the alliance. If you need anything, I will come to me." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Then I won't disturb my lord's rest in the lower class." Xu Shu bowed and said, then took Wei Yan and Zhang Fei away.
Zhang Fei left with a relaxed look on his face, as if he was not burdened.
Wei Yan followed Xu Shu. When there was no one around, Wei Yan asked Xu Shu: "Military advisor, this elder brother does not have the identity of a Han clan relative. Will it be very troublesome in the future?"
Xu Shu knew what Wei Yan was following him to do. When Wei Yan said his purpose, Xu Shu said softly: "The lord has the same identity as the Han clan relatives. He is all our lord."
Wei Yan knew that Xu Shu had said it was equivalent to not saying it, and he was speechless.
"But it will be a bit troublesome if the lord defeats Liu Yu, whether he can take over Jingzhou or make another plan." Xu Shu said slowly.
Wei Yan heard some of the meaning, but still wanted to confirm it and asked, "Military advisor, I am a martial artist. Many things are not so clear. I hope the military advisor can give me more advice in the future."
"General Wen Chang is so serious. His talent is not worth mentioning. Whenever the general needs it, he will definitely give him all his gifts." Xu Shu said with a smile.
Xu Shu understood that after he returned from Jiangdong, Liu Bei didn't care on the surface, but he was always a little irritated in his heart. The most important point was that Liu Bei had injured a very important place and had no descendants before, which was very unfavorable for a force. Xu Shu felt that if Liu Bei had a chance in the future, his sworn brothers would be the most important discourse person in the army. Coming with Wei Yan in advance was also a way for Xu Shu to protect himself.
Wei Yan believed that with Xu Shu on the side, it would be much better than him. With one more help, there would be more safety.
When Liu Bei was left with no one everywhere, he became furious.
"Liu Yu! Liu Boxuan! Did I rape your girl or dug your ancestral grave? Your mother, she is so vicious!" Liu Bei angrily raised the table in front of him.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu really has no real girl. The nominal girl has really been raped by Liu Bei, so Liu Bei is not wronged.
Liu Bei hated him. He asked himself that his talent and learning skills were not inferior to any princes in this world, but his origin was a little worse. It was rare to make contributions to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, gained recognition from the court, and implemented his identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty. However, Liu Bei had never been recognized by most of the power masters of this era. Look at Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, he was simply a waste of food, with such a good background and resources. The two of them kept trying to die, and finally gave up Liu Yu and Cao Cao for nothing. Shouchun where Cao Cao lives now was still built when Yuan Shu was there.
There is also Liu Zhang, who relied on having a good father or his two brothers to commit suicide, so that this waste could directly take over the governor of Yizhou Prefecture, known as the country of Tianfu.
Liu Bei said that if he had been under the good conditions of Liu Zhang, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he would definitely not have fallen into this.
But now the last fig leaf that made Liu Bei happy, the identity of a relative of the Han Dynasty, was abolished by Liu Yu's edict.
Liu Bei knew the influence of Emperor Shenwu. Maybe Cao Cao and Sun Ce would recognize Liu Bei's identity, but other places were different. The aristocratic families within Jingzhou were originally disliked by Liu Bei, so it would be very difficult for Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou in the future. Liu Bei's years of struggle may have been destroyed by Liu Yu's edict.
"The traitor of the Han Dynasty! Liu Yu, you are so poisonous! When will I, Liu Bei, cause trouble to the world? I, Liu Bei, are for the people of the Han Dynasty and revive the world of the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei said angrily.
Liu Bei became more and more angry as he thought about it. He drew out his sword and chopped the table hard. Liu Bei seemed to see Liu Yu's face that kept mocking him. He treated the table in front of him as Liu Yu, and kept chopping until the table was shattered.
None of the guards and servants outside the room dared to move forward. If Liu Bei treats him as a scapegoat to vent his anger, he will be finished.
Liu Bei was also tired in the end and sat on the ground and gasped.
"Without this identity, the morale of the army may be a little unstable. I have to take measures to stabilize the people's hearts immediately." Liu Bei had two tricks, and after calming down, he thought of his current situation.
He did it right away. Liu Bei hurriedly went out of the room to find Zhang Fei. He wanted to go with Zhang Fei and others to calm the hearts of the people immediately. At this time, Liu Bei could no longer tolerate any major omissions.
