Chapter 140 Three Ugly Fights Three British (1)(1/2)
Chapter 140 Three ugly fights with three heroes (one)
Although the Taipingdao rebellion caused considerable disasters, on the other hand, it also selected a group of talents for the Han Dynasty.
It was mid-December that heavy snow covered the land of Jizhou.
Logically speaking, Liu Bei should be very proud.
In the original history, after Lu Zhi besieged Zhang Jiao, he encountered the frame-up of the eunuchs, which made Liu Bei's fate confusing. But now, the eunuch who framed Lu Zhi in history did not appear, which allowed Lu Zhi to successfully complete the rebellion. In addition, Liu Bei's three brothers have also gained a lot of benefits.
But Liu Bei felt very bored.
Now, he is the official position of Anxi County Guard, which should be a good result for a commoner.
But Liu Bei knew very well that he was exiled... and was exiled by Lu Zhi! His future fate would probably become turbulent. The reason for such a result was all because of what Liu Bei said to Lu Zhi.
Twenty days ago, the imperial court sent an order to transfer Lu Zhi into Beijing.
After Liu Bei, who was serving as a captain under Lu Zhi's tent, heard the news, he keenly realized the crisis inside.
He hurried to the government office and saw that Lu Zhi had already started packing his luggage.
Lu Zhi still had the calm expression of Gu Jing Bubo. When he saw Liu Bei, he couldn't help but smile.
Lu Zhi was quite satisfied with this student.
"Xuande, come in a hurry. Is there anything wrong?"
Liu Bei sang aloud, then walked over and asked, "Teacher, I just heard that the court issued an order to ask you to return to Luoyang. Is that true?"
"Oh, the news spread so quickly!"
Lu Zhi laughed and nodded and replied: "Yes, the court ordered me to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible. I am packing things. I originally wanted to tell you before leaving to stabilize the morale of the army. Unexpectedly... Haha, Wang Fen, the new governor of Jizhou, is also a famous scholar of the dynasty and has some friendship with me. Xuande can stay here and assist him well and he will have a bright future."
"Teacher, Luoyang, I can't go back!"
Lu Zhi still had a very calm expression on his face, "What does Xuande mean? Why can't I go back to Luoyang?"
"Teacher, haven't you seen it? This is because the court is afraid of you. You are in Jizhou and you are safe and sound. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be barriers to protect the safety of your teacher. But when you return to Luoyang, you have no soldiers or power, isn't it dangerous?"
Lu Zhi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Xuande's words are wrong. If I don't go back and carry the infather and lord, it is really dangerous. How can I not understand what you said? But the king's order cannot be violated. Since the emperor wants me to go back, I should go back. Could it be that he still has to bargain with the emperor? If so, what is the difference between it and the thief?"
Liu Bei suddenly felt excited and his fists were clenched.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, he couldn't help but whisper: "Teacher, I have a word, don't you know whether to speak or not?"
Lu Zhi's eyes flashed, and he sat down in the room, signaling Liu Bei to sit down.
"Xuande has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, "I dare to ask the teacher, what is the rarest and easiest thing in the world to lose?"
Lu Zhi thought about it, "Are you an opportunity, what I said is right?"
"That's right!" Liu Bei said: "The opportunity comes but you don't miss it. This is an opportunity. The ancient sages also said that you should wait for an opportunity. It is precisely because of this opportunity that smart people can show off. But now, teacher, you have a rare opportunity, but you have to miss it. Teachers cherish their reputation, but they don't know how to preserve their reputation if they miss it?"
Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, "Xuande has something to say clearly."
Liu Bei stepped forward, bowed and lowered his voice, "The way of heaven will not protect one side for no reason, and the people only agree with those who are capable and can make them live well. Now the teacher has established military conquests and has made unparalleled achievements, such as King Wen of Zhou in Zhou of Shang, and everyone in the world has already known your reputation and merits... The folk song says: I will live in Lu Gongxi again, this is why Tang and Wu may not be able to surpass your reputation in this world. If that is the case, you must be a minister, how can it be possible?"
Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat and glared at Liu Bei, without speaking for a long time.
Liu Bei didn't urge him, knowing that Lu Zhi wanted to digest his words, but I'm afraid it would take time.
After a moment, Lu Zhi said coldly: "I am dedicated to the country, loyal to the court, and can be seen by the sun and the moon, and feel at ease."
"You feel at ease, but will the court be at ease?"
Since Liu Bei had already started this topic, he no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Have the teacher forgotten Han Xin? Han Xin abandoned three foundations just for a little favor. Only when he put the sharp sword on his throat did he regret that he shouldn't have been. If he missed it, the opportunity would be lost... Now that the court is in power, the world needs Ming Gong."
Seeing that Lu Zhi was still calm, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and persuaded him: "Teacher, your current force has exceeded Han Xin. Just raise your arms and shout, collect elite troops in Jizhou, mobilize the troops of Qizhou, cross the Zhang River, drink horses and Mengjin, kill eunuchs, and eliminate all evil spirits... Then the task will be completed and the whole world will return to your heart. At that time, will it be easy for the teacher to do? "
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes and a flash of killing intention flashed.
Liu Bei was excited and said with joy: "In the current political situation, villains are in power, and the lord is incompetent. Teacher, you have established achievements that the court cannot reward, and you have been suspicious of others. If you don't take the initiative, you are afraid that you will regret it in the future."
"Stop talking!"
Lu Zhi stood up and pulled out his sword, kicking the case over.
He strode forward, pointed his sword at Liu Bei, and shouted with anger, "Liu Bei, I thought you were a loyal minister and good general of the Han Dynasty, so I worked hard to cultivate you. I hope you can contribute to protecting the Han Dynasty in the future. But unexpectedly, you are actually a wolfish ambition and speaks disobediently, asking me to betray the court? Liu Xuande, do you think the sword in my hand is unfavorable?"
Liu Bei's head buzzed, a little confused.
If these words were ten years later, or if they were told to another person, they might really be touching.
But Lu Zhi...
Liu Bei neglected Lu Zhi's loyalty to the court, and even ignored that although the court was in power, the prestige of the Han Dynasty still existed.
But now, it is already difficult to get rid of the tiger.
Liu Bei gritted his teeth, "Teacher, every sentence comes from the heart, and it is all for the teacher. If the teacher wants to kill me, Bei will never resist. But I hope the teacher will think twice before acting. If you leave Jizhou, it will be really over!"
As he said that, Liu Bei knelt on the ground, his eyes turned red, his nose became sour, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.
Lu Zhi's hands trembled slightly, and his mind was very complicated. He didn't know that when he entered Luoyang, he was like a lamb who had entered a wolf's nest, and was slaughtered by others. However, the idea of loyalty to the emperor he had cultivated since childhood made him unable to accept Liu Bei's kindness.
The world calmed down, and there were still Hu people in Liangzhou and Sili.
If he really did this, it would be to sprinkle a handful of salt on the wounds of the Han Dynasty, which had just gained a chance to breathe.
At that time, wars will arise again and all living beings will suffer.
Lu Zhi would never do it for his own selfishness and to make the people of the world suffer.
But Liu Bei's deep affection made Lu Zhi really unable to kill him.
A moment later, he threw the sword on the ground, "Xuande, I understand your kindness. But a real man has done something and does not do anything. I, Lu Zhi, are highly expected by the court and will never cause trouble to the people for his own selfish interests. You... Let's go, I will not kill you, but don't call me a teacher again in the future, I will never have any relationship with you. You will leave tomorrow and go to Anxi County to be the county magistrate. From now on, you will do your own thing. If I know that you are in trouble in the world, you will not let you go even if you die!"
Lu Zhi's last words were almost yelled!
Liu Bei left the government office in a daze, and didn't even know how he returned to his residence.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his appearance, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern.
Looking at these two sworn brothers, Liu Bei felt sad and couldn't help crying loudly.
Why are you crying?
Maybe it's for the future, maybe it's because of the two brothers that have been implicated, maybe it's...
This cry is really true. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were frightened. Zhang Fei was even more honest and knelt down quickly, "Why did your brother cry? Could it be that the brothers did something wrong? Yide will never steal wine in the military camp again. Don't cry, brother..."
"Yes, brother!"
Guan Yu also said: "If you have something to say, let us brothers find a way together."
Liu Bei immediately said that he was sent to Anxi County. Of course, he did not say that he had said disobedient words. After Lu Zhi's incident, he clearly realized that some things must not be said if they were not in a good condition.
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, "That old man is unreasonable. We will make great contributions to him. How could he treat me like this?"
Guan Yu's reaction was very wonderful. He narrowed his eyes and gently stroked his beautiful beard, as if he was thinking.
"Yider Don't talk nonsense, teacher... Oh, it shouldn't be, it's all a mistake. I also implicated the two brothers and were unlucky with me. I'm really... well, I'll see the teacher again and ask the teacher to leave you behind. I'll go to Anxi alone. A real man works alone and must not implicate his brother's future."
Zhang Fei glared around his eyes, "What are you saying about brother? We had a feud in Taoyuan that day. Didn't we say that we share the blessings and share the difficulties? My brother left, and Yide would not stay in this Laoshizi military camp. Without brother, it would be boring."
Guan Yu nodded, "Third brother said this great kindness, let's go to Anxi County with my brother."
That's it, he suddenly changed from a dignified lieutenant to an Anxi County lieutenant.
Liu Bei sat in front of the hall, looking at the heavy snow all over the sky, and felt sad. Anxi County was extremely barren, with a population of only eight or nine thousand, and even the county government was in ruins.
Teacher, teacher, students are dedicated to your consideration. It’s okay if you don’t listen, why did you throw me into such a ghost place?
I couldn't help but feel resentment in my heart, I picked up a big cup and drank it all in one go.
At this moment, a county official hurried into the county government: "Sir, big things are not good, big things are not good!"
Already upset, Liu Bei became even more angry when he heard the county officials shouting. However, he was naturally persevering. After this incident, he became even more happy and angry. He stood up and asked with a smile: "What happened? Tell me slowly?"
"The third master is upset today and has eaten too much wine again!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No wonder, he came out of the lively military camp and became the current horse archer, how could Zhang Fei, who was born for the big scene?
There is a saying that once was a slaughter, and he was still a dignified commander a month ago, but in the blink of an eye he became a horse archer.
I'm afraid anyone wouldn't feel very comfortable if I did this kind of thing.
"But I smashed someone's restaurant again? How many things have been damaged? Let the restaurant report it. I'll compensate him here."
When the county officials heard this, they shook their heads repeatedly.
"Sir, it would be great if I smashed the wine shop. The Third Master had drunk too much and heard that there was a team of cavalry passing by outside, and they were all top-quality pure-blooded Dayuan Liangjia. The Third Master said that the Dayuan Liangjia was only worthy of the great masters, so..."
Liu Bei was so excited that he shuddered.
"Cabinet, is it the cavalry of the court?"
"No, I don't look like a Han person, but my costume is so well-designed by the imperial cavalry, and they are all one person and two people."
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, "Tell Yun Chang quickly and let him follow me to stop Yide."
