Liu Bei looked at the letter in his hand and his face turned pale and his head was dizzy. How could things turn out like this!?
Does Liu Bei have great expectations for the future? Yes! And it's quite big, so big that it can be called ambition, but if you think Liu Bei wanted to replace the emperor from the beginning, it would be a joke!
Just like Cao Cao only wanted to be a general who conquers the North at the beginning, Liu Bei only wanted to use his own life experience to successfully become a member of the royal family. Deep in his heart, he naturally wanted to inherit the position of King Zhongshan. This is the highest level that Liu Bei could achieve. Want to be an emperor? This is really not true!
If there may be only one person who wants to overthrow the imperial power at the fifth time of Guanghe and become the emperor himself, that is Zhang Jiao. As for the Yuan family, they just want to suppress the imperial power as much as possible, and even turn the imperial power into a puppet. If someone could come up with a constitutional monarchy at that time, they might be able to resolve the conflict between the gentry and the royal family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
I'm going to go far, and I'm talking about Liu Bei who looks pale at this moment.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Liu Bei became sworn brothers with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu was because he fell in love with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. There were more loyal and righteous people in this world. Liu Bei did not seek others to become sworn brothers, but he just found these two fierce people to become sworn brothers. If it was for Zhongyi, no modern person would believe this joke. In fact, the direct fact that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu became sworn brothers was that they firmly trapped these two powerful generals and brothers.
So why did Liu Bei come to Liaodong to join Gongsun Zan? It was simple, to make achievements and gain fame. But Gongsun Zan is not a fool. On the contrary, as a hero, Gongsun Zan always has his own excellence. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are old acquaintances, and Gongsun Zan is very wary of this person who talks about being the descendant of the King of Zhongshan all day long. It would be better if Liu Bei came alone to join him. The problem is that this guy is also surrounded by two powerful general brothers who are jealous of him. This Liu Bei is very jealous.
Will a prince always be under such a small prefect? This is the fundamental reason why Gongsun Zan didn't like Liu Bei. Because the temple was small, he couldn't tolerate the great gods! Therefore, Liu Bei was pushed to the southern border of Liaodong with one pole. In name, he was defending Lelang. In fact, he was just a feud.
However, for Liu Bei, being exiled to Xi'an Ping may not be a bad thing, because after coming here, he escaped from Gongsun Zan's suppression and surveillance, and the three brothers had their own territory. If they manage well, they might become one vassal in the future. If you don't see that Fang Zhiwen was originally just a barrier, but now he is a powerful force that dominated the two counties.
However, before Liu Bei could make great efforts and establish a foundation in Xi'anping, Fang Zhiwen came to the door. Liu Bei was wronged and depressed! He originally thought that he could not stop Fang Zhiwen anyway. It would be better to fight with Fang Zhiwen and use his master to become famous, but the result was really disappointing. Liu Bei's two younger brothers whom Liu Bei still helped were captured alive! For Liu Bei, his sky was about to collapse!
However, Liu Bei was Liu Bei after all, and emperors in history all had their own way of success. Although Liu Bei was a sub-emperor who broke the soil, he was also an emperor. His way of success was called perseverance!
Soon, Liu Bei came back to his senses from this heavy blow. Fortunately, his two brothers were captured alive. As long as they were not dead, there was hope. Even if they died, as long as they were not dead, they could continue to become sworn brothers! There are more than two powerful generals in the world, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu!
Liu Bei looked at this very simple letter several times. This letter of arrows from Fang Zhiwen shot into the city with a bow and arrow. It is estimated that the news of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu being captured had been leaked. Liu Bei had no choice but to hide it. Perhaps this was one of Fang Zhiwen's plans.
The conditions mentioned by Fang Zhiwen in Xinli were very simple, asking Liu Bei to disarm the army in the city and open the four gates. Then Liu Bei led all the indigenous people in the city out of the east gate and surrendered directly to the bandits.
The bandit's request was very clear. It was to abduct all the residents of Xi'anping. Liu Bei thought about it and he had another choice, which was to put the welfare of the people in the city first and give up the lives of sworn brothers. In this way, Liu Bei's reputation might not be damaged, but he lost two sworn brothers.
But even if he does not surrender, Liu Bei may not be able to defend Xi'anping, especially when he lost the assistance of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Since that was the case, Liu Bei decided not to take this risk. Anyway, the bandits were pretended by Fang Zhiwen, and there was no need to kill his three brothers when he was rewarded. Liu Bei surrendered all the brothers in the city, and then there was a drama of kneeling and begging the bandits to treat the people well. I believe his reputation would definitely rise.
After making up his mind, Liu Bei's face turned red again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Liu Bei received the arrow books shot into the city by Fang Zhiwen, more arrow books were obtained by players. At first, they thought it was someone's prank, but more and more bandit cavalry appeared around Xi'an Pingcheng and acted like a siege, players began to believe that this matter was real.
However, who is so awesome to capture Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in one go?! These two great men have never been captured together in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but in the game, why did they both get captured alive as soon as they appeared? This is too much! Could it be that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are actually very naughty? Or maybe some great men appeared in this desolate place in southeastern Liaodong?
However, speaking of it, there is really a great man south of Liaodong, that is, Fang Zhiwen. Of course, Fang Zhiwen's great man is in his power. The players believe that the great man is Zhao Yun, the chief general under Fang Zhiwen. Players may not have imagined that their Hubian on the forum is actually basically close to the facts.
To be honest, most of the more than 100,000 players who come to Pingcheng, Xi'an are watching the fun. If there are players here who have the idea of conquering these three brothers, they are not completely without such brain-dead people, but most players who can think normally are watching the fun.
Therefore, when Liu Bei issued the order to suppress bandits at the beginning, the players were still very cooperative. They could not only earn merit rewards, but also get close contact with Liu, Guan and Zhang, and make a relationship. Why not do it?!
However, when the bandits become more and more powerful and the players' losses begin to rise sharply, no players will be foolish and suffer in vain. Now the bandits are so fierce that they directly capture the peerless generals Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, although the players' curiosity is strong enough to illuminate the entire night, let these players fight against the bandits. It seems that no one has this crazy idea.
Among these players, there are also some spies from the player guilds. At this moment, the storm of Xi'an Ping suddenly changed, and it seems that there is something inside. However, due to distance, even if these guilds have the idea of joining in the fun, I am afraid that when I arrive, the overall situation will be decided. Therefore, in Xi'an Ping's city, it is strangely peaceful.
After Liu Bei decided, he no longer hesitated. He wrote a tearful letter to Gongsun Zan, saying that for the sake of the friendship between the whole brothers, he gave up the important task of defending Xi'anping and asked Gongsun Zan to send someone to take over Xi'anping, while he tied himself up to share the hardships with his brothers. Of course, the letter did not mention a word about surrendering the city.
Then, Liu Bei decisively ordered all the indigenous people to be driven out of the east gate. The remaining more than 2,000 troops guarding the city also confiscated their weapons and then left the city with the indigenous people who were crying.
Players gathered on both sides of the city walls and roads, watching the occurrence and development of this strange event, an official city actually surrendered to the bandits. It was an unprecedented precedent, and it was led by a future emperor. This matter is strange!
Fang Zhiwen had already taken his two thousand cavalry to wait ten miles outside the east gate. Seeing that Liu Bei had indeed opened the city gate. After half a day of trouble, he led the people and troops out of the city to surrender. He felt a little funny, but he could understand that Fang Zhiwen was even thinking about how Liu Bei would act later.
"I guess Liu Da'er will definitely kneel down to me in tears after a while!"
"Bad!" Before Zhao Yun could speak, Zhang Fei, who was riding on an old horse, stopped doing it for now. It was nothing to scold Liu Bei. The problem was that Liu Bei would kneel down to him a bandit. This was really insulting. Besides, Liu Bei was their eldest brother. Is it honorable for the eldest brother to be the younger brother?
"Hehe, don't you believe it? Do you dare to bet with me?"
"What are you betting on?" Zhang Fei ignored Guan Yu's hint and looked like he was sloppy with his neck. In fact, he had an attack of taking advantage.
"Haha, simple. If Liu Da'er kneels down in a while, you can't speak or get off your horse, just bet on this."
"What if my brother didn't do it as you said?"
"Then I will lose to you a good horse."
"Okay, then we will make up for each word. A gentleman will whip the horse with a quick word. Don't regret it!"
"Hmph, although I am a bandit, I never lie. Unlike your elder brother, who is named Tianhuang nobleman, I have a lie."
"you!"
"Why, if you scold others all day long, I can't scold your elder brother?"
"Okay, third brother, you are a military general, don't try to show off your verbal advantage."
"snort!"
After watching the good show, Zhao Yun came to Fang Zhiwen and whispered: "Lord, why did Liu Bei kneel down to you?"
"Haha, you don't believe it? Actually, it's very simple. Liu Da'er claims to be unparalleled, but now he is trying to exchanging the safety of his own brothers. This reputation is not very good. Therefore, he will beg for the rest of his life and even ask us to treat the people in the city and the surrendered soldiers well. Liu Da'er likes to do this kind of thing that wins people's hearts the most."
"Well, why don't the lord take advantage of the situation and ask their brothers to serve?"
"Hehe, this Liu Da'er's ambition is too high, and even Gongsun Zan can't afford to support this great god, so we shouldn't want it."
"I understand, it seems that they are not simple to become sworn brothers!"
"Isn't that true!"
Fang Zhiwen smiled proudly and gave Zhao Yun this vaccination first, so he would not be afraid of Liu Da'er's corrosion and win over him. (To be continued.
