Chapter 1781 The wind, the heart
Desire is like a demon that is always in line with people''s inner standards, tempting and attracting people all the time, making people let go of what they should do, walk towards it, cling to it, and then fall into its arms Sinking, and eventually losing everything originally.
Liu Bei couldn''t let go of the longing in his heart, so he couldn''t overcome the desire.
Of course, having said that, maybe only when the historical Liu Bei was facing death, did he sigh, whether true or false, and let Zhuge figure it out...
There are many "if" things in the world, such as "if I knew it earlier", "if I didn''t do it"
, "if it should be" and so on, but when these "ifs" appear, the ending is basically almost settled.
Li Hui also regretted it.
Sometimes I would toss and turn in the night, thinking that I shouldn''t want to be determined, which would lead to the defeat of the fight, and sometimes I would secretly carry Liu Bei''s men behind my back, gnashing my teeth in the dark, hating myself for not being able to seize the opportunity to clean up Liu Bei, resulting in In the end, he was turned over by Liu Bei.
If dreams require hard work, then desires require a price.
Now, the price Li Hui has paid is obviously quite expensive.
So as Li Hui, would he hate himself? Yes, but he hates Liu Bei more. However, in order to preserve the little hope in his heart, Li Hui had to greet Liu Bei with a smile and respect.
However, what Li Hui didn''t expect was that a turning point came before him so quickly.
『Liu Gong’s meaning is...』 Li Hui was careful to confirm that he couldn’t believe his ears, and even used an honorific title, observing all of Liu Bei’s expressions and actions with an unprecedented humble attitude.
Liu Bei smiled kindly, as usual, and said slowly, his voice was low and steady, like a rock in the wind, "Brother De''ang, it''s not that I don''t want to be close to my brother to ask for benefits, but I can''t do it." Also...Brother De''ang, do you know that Xu Shijun wants to come to Dingze? 』
"what? ! 』Li Hui was taken aback.
Liu Bei nodded, then sighed and said, "Brother De''ang has lost Jianning, this... If Xu Shijun sees this, the crime of losing the land... Hey! I''m afraid..."
Xu Shu is coming to Dingruo?
Li Hui''s head sounded like someone had knocked a gong on his ear, buzzing continuously. For Li Hui, if he was defeated in the army, it was just a failed exam, and Xu Shu''s coming to Dingze was tantamount to handing over the failed exam results to his parents. Ordinary people may be criticized and scolded if they fail in the exam, and at most they will be beaten up, but Li Hui messed up, even if he is dealt with according to the lightest "penalty for punishment with copper", he still needs to get a lot of money! And when Jianning fell, where did Li Hui go to find money?
So basically, since Xu Shu, Li Hui is a dead end.
『Liu Gong is unparalleled in virtue! Please be respected by my brother! 』
Li Hui understood, and was about to kowtow to Liu Bei to thank Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him, and sighed, "I have never had any enmity with Brother De Ang. It was just a misunderstanding before. Now I really can''t bear to see Brother De Ang die here... Now De Ang Let''s go, but I don''t know when we will meet again, in my heart...in a certain heart...hey...」
As Liu Bei spoke, the circles of his eyes became red, and the tears rolled in circles in the eye sockets, reflecting the winter sun, a little crystal clear, very beautiful, but if you look at it for a long time, you will find that there is not much warmth in it.
So Liu Bei quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then said: "Brother De Ang also saw it, and this place is quite embarrassing... so this soldier... can only be equipped in this way for the time being, and I hope Brother De Ang will forgive me ..."
Can leave Dingruo as soon as possible, how can Li Hui say anything to spoil the scenery, besides, he didn''t expect much support from Liu Bei at first, but now it is natural to count how much he has, and it is not a time to care about it, so he is in a hurry After agreeing, I thanked Liu Bei again.
This time, Liu Bei didn''t stop him, and after receiving a gift, he said that he wanted to send Li Hui off. The two argued for a while, and finally, with Li Hui''s firm attitude, he stopped Liu Bei from sending him off.
After walking for a while, Li Hui looked back and could vaguely see Liu Bei still looking at the top of the mountain.
Compared to starting from Jianning before, Li Hui''s troops are naturally very different. Now, apart from some remnants of the headquarters under the direct control, there are 300 soldiers specially dispatched by Liu Bei, and some food and grass.
Li Hui felt a little desolate in his heart, but soon regained hope.
At least the people are still there.
In any case, Li''s business in Jianning for so many years still has a certain foundation. As long as he works well and regains at least one or two county towns, then he is not completely lost, but can only be called a temporary defeat. , which can somewhat avoid the crime of beheading.
Maybe.
Li Hui couldn''t help but looked back again, and Liu Bei''s figure was already covered by mountains and forests, so he couldn''t see him.
Liu Bei is really so benevolent?
Could it be that I misread him before?
The cold wind howled in the sky above the forest, seemed to give Li Hui an answer, and seemed to be laughing at Li Hui again. But at the moment, Li Hui can only hold on to the straw in his hands, because this is also his only hope.
…\\_(ツ)_/…
The cold wind howled.
Liu Fan''s front troops have gradually approached Jianning.
With the guidance of a guide specially sent by Shi Xie, the journey is naturally much more convenient.
However, for Liu Fan, he still had some doubts in his heart.
Is Shi Xie really that kind?
Could it be that I misread him before?
Liu Fan chuckled twice and shook his head. Shi Xie is still an old fox, and there can be no sudden change in this point. Therefore, the matter of Jianning this time is just that Shi Xie wanted to push Liu Fan to the front. It seems to be a good choice. After all, fighting with Shi Xie in Jiaozhou, at most, he is the next Shi Xie, and he is still excluded from the Central China.
Since the fourth brother failed to keep the inheritance left by his father, then...
Thinking of this, Liu Fan couldn''t help feeling somewhat gloomy like the sky. He also couldn''t figure it out back then, and he still can''t figure it out now, why his father Liu Yan would rather leave the foundation to his fourth brother?
Could it be said that the youngest son deserves all the pampering as a matter of course, and then the eldest son deserves to work around?
Father, you are so partial!
If you have a spirit in heaven, take a good look at how your beloved fourth brother has ruined your foundation!
If you really have a soul in heaven, take a good look at how I regained the foundation of the Liu family!
General Hussars was just luck. When he was in Luoyang Chang''an, he didn''t see how special this guy was! What''s more, General Hussars relied on the cavalry in the north to make a fortune, and how many cavalry could be used in mountainous areas like Sichuan and Shu?
As long as we plan and coordinate with these people in Jianning Land, Sichuan and Shu still have a lot to do!
At that time, the Jiange will be taken and the Jinniu rice warehouse will be sealed. Even if the hussar general has many powerful cavalry, what can he do?
Ha ha ha ha!
Liu Fan pondered, couldn''t help but chuckled, and then ordered the soldiers to speed up and rush to Jianning!
…(^з^)-☆…
Yong Kai pondered, sitting like a pile of meat.
Yong Kai is very fat, as fat as a fat pig, but not all fat people are forgiving, just like not all thin people are born anxious.
Fat people like winter, because they can sweat less in winter.
However, in a place like Jianning, people would sweat at every turn, and even the sour smell lingered all day long. This is not only the case for me, but also for the servants. Before anyone enters the room, a pungent sour smell of sweat will come oncoming.
Yong thought that he was also a few generations of ministers back then, and he was once a powerful man in Guanzhong. All he used were first-class fine items, and what he wore was the most expensive silk brocade. It is like now...
Yong Kai took a long breath, but smelled a sour smell.
『Damn it! ’ Yong Kai scolded angrily.
Coincidentally, Gao Ding turned around from the side, and couldn''t help being taken aback when he heard the words, "Ah, huh? 』
Yong Kai rolled his eyes on his fat face, "Damn it, there are only 3,000 people, and they still hold back!" They''re all a bunch of useless cowards! 』
Gao Ding walked over, "You can''t say that, after all, these people have fought against the Hussar General several times, and they know how powerful they are, so it''s normal to be a little timid. I got up naturally...」
Yong Kai still slapped his hands and scolded: "No wonder people in central Sichuan look down on us in southern Sichuan, and they all came from here!" They came up faster than anyone else to divide things up, and when they were discussing about going into the army, their stomachs hurt and their brains hurt, and some even reasoned that their mother-in-law was going to have a baby, and their hearts were in turmoil...Damn it! Why didn''t he say that he was going to have a baby? ! 』
Gao Ding smiled wryly and shook his head.
Yes, he is the leader of the barbarians, but it doesn''t mean that he has the power of life and death immediately, just like Yuan Shao, as the leader of the Dongdong League, cannot immediately twist the princes under him into a single rope. Everything is just the beginning. Although many barbarians have joined in, most of them feel that they will occupy a hole first, and then look at the situation. It doesn''t mean that they will be stupid and don''t hesitate to contribute all the men, women, and children in the village to fight to the death. World War I.
Therefore, Gao Ding could only shake his head and smile wryly at Yong Kai''s complaints.
"Okay, this kind of thing, you and I can say it..." Gao Ding waved his hand, thinking that Yong Kai is a straightforward guy, so he doesn''t know how to hide his emotions, which is normal, "Our problem now is, Under such circumstances, should we fight a war first? 』
Haute Couture hesitated. After all, matters such as centripetal force do not rely on lip service, and some decent things have to be brought out, but if we say that we are going directly to the north now, Gao Ding is not 100% sure of the chances of winning. After all, the lands of Sichuan and Shu are good for defense but not good for offense.
If you win, it will be great, but if you lose, it may be like a sand tower, and it will collapse in an instant. Now relying on the momentum of the gathering of various tribes, they can still hold the scene.
Although Jianning''s territory is not very small, there are not many county towns, so when Yongkai raised his troops before, and there were original arrangements, it was not too difficult to cooperate with the inside and outside, but from the south of Sichuan to the north, it was separated from Yongkai. Kai''s range of strength, then it needs a real attack, and there is no longer any tricky way.
But if we really want to storm Wei Yan''s camp, to be honest, is this a problem...
Wei Yan is under General Hussars, one of the best among the younger generation. When Generals Hussars marched into Sichuan and Shu, at least most of the battles were fought by Wei Yan. He was brave and diligent, and he was no stranger to fighting in the mountains. It is indeed a rather large and weighty blocking stone.
『Should we wait for the governor of Jiaozhou to come and discuss it? ’Yong Kai said, ‘If you count the time, it’s almost here…’
Gao Ding frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It''s too slow...I''m afraid that after a long time, the people in northern Sichuan will see the problem, so I still have to move a bit..."
Yong Kai nodded, pretending to understand, but in fact his heart was open. After Gao Ding was pulled into the position of leader by himself, he tasted the sweetness and thought about going on for a long time, and even expanding his influence. Naturally, it was impossible to completely give up the limelight to the so-called "outsiders" who came later.
That''s why Gao Ding is in a hurry to make something, as long as it has some achievements...
『This Liu Jiaozhou led the troops to the north to fight General Hussars in Chengdu! When Liu Jiaozhou comes, it is good to march together, but it is also complicated and difficult to command! "Gao Ding said in a deep voice, "And now the smugglers we have on hand are not well-known in the first place, and they can''t say to go with us barbarians. It is difficult to do anything! 』
『So, we must find another way! First look for an opportunity, first gather the people in our own hands, first decide who are elites and who are assistants, otherwise if there is really any gain, and the division is not clear, there will definitely be big problems! ’ Gao Ding said with a frown.
Yong Kai also agreed, "This is indeed a problem. 』When you reach out for something, everyone wants to get something for nothing. There may be one, two, or three, and this and that will definitely happen at that time.
"How about..." Yong Kai said, "Lure the soldiers of the Hussar General to come out and lay an ambush?" 』
『How to ambush? ’ Gao Ding asked.
The military strategy is actually very simple and very simple. From ancient times to the present, it has been an ambush, forming a local advantage to fight more and less, and then expand the victory. Even in the era of hot weapons, there is not much change, but how to implement it is to test the commander. ability.
Two people are sitting, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks for a long time.
"Forget it, let''s change it..." Gao Ding waved his hand and said, "I think, we can send some more people out, find some trails that we don''t usually take, and see if we can go around the back... If we can find some opportunities... Hehe, after all, no matter how powerful the Hussar General is, he still has to eat, right? If we talk about burning food and grass once or twice... I am afraid that even if these people are not messed up, they will still have to go back! 』
Yong Kai clapped his palms and praised: "You deserve to be the king of the barbarians!" so good! On the one hand, we can check the reality of the hussars, and on the other hand, we can also make use of the strengths of our barbarians. Even if we really can''t do anything, we should at least survey the terrain first, and then wait until the follow-up coalition forces go north. confident! it is good! 』
Gao Ding smiled slightly.
Yong Kai thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said quickly: "I''ll go and arrange it now!" Pick the elite! Elite! 』
The selection of "Elite" is the second priority. What is more important is not only to determine the level of loot to be distributed in the future, but also to use this matter to enhance the prestige of Gao Ding. After all, no matter what it is, it needs someone to praise it. floating up...
However, neither Gao Ding nor Yong Kai thought that the development of the matter far exceeded their plan...
