Chapter 1789 audition, trial
The soldiers who came slowly from the mountain path, the first to bear the brunt were some tall men, well-armored and mighty. Because it is winter, there is a layer of cloak wrapped around the armor, which is blown by the wind during the march, which adds three points of majesty.
Taking a closer look at the weapons, it can be said that as long as they are soldiers, they will naturally pay attention to the things in their hands, but when they see the subordinates of the Hussar General who are getting closer, and then look back at the weapons in their hands, these Liu Bei self-proclaimed He was quite a good pawn, so he couldn''t help shrinking his head, then lowered his head subconsciously.
The soldiers and horses are powerful and imposing.
It seems simple to say, but it actually exists in these details. The same is true for the courage cultivated between soldiers and soldiers. If it is said that the Danyang soldiers were good in history, but now the soldiers under these Hussar generals are three points stronger, forcibly lowering the heads of these soldiers who followed Liu Bei in the north and south conquests.
Looking at these elite soldiers, Liu Bei showed a bit of longing in his eyes, but then disappeared, leaving only obedience and submission. General Hussars'' soldiers and horses are the most powerful in the world. This is really not a general statement.
The hussars gradually approached, and then spread out on both sides of the road, giving way to Xu Shulai in the middle. Liu Bei hurried forward and saluted respectfully. Perhaps for others, it is easy to bow your head when you have no stature, but it is difficult to bow your head when you have an identity, but for Liu Bei, these are nothing, as long as it is necessary, Liu Bei doesn''t think there is any problem with being humble.
Speaking of which, for these characters in the Three Kingdoms, why do some people like Liu Bei when they were young, but become disgusted when they grow up? It may be because when I was young, I hoped that I could start from scratch like Liu Bei, and I could also become a famous prince in the world. I died on the road of becoming king and hegemony, instead of lying on a sickbed and struggling to survive. But, when I grow up, I know that if I want to be like Liu Bei, I have to give up a lot of things, and I can''t do it at all...
Among the Three Kingdoms, there are so many white bodies and so many heroes who rose up, but only Liu Bei fought out of the grass, and stood at the end, the highest.
Liu Bei''s benevolence may be true or false, but this is not important. What is important is that Liu Bei seems to have made no mistakes in almost every key point of major decisions.
The only obsessive impulse in Liu Bei''s life was given to his brother.
So Liu Bei saw Xu Shu''s figure getting closer and closer, and his heart couldn''t help beating, as if a voice whispered in his ear: "Kill the past, order to kill the past now!" As long as Xu Shu is killed, nothing will happen! 』
But rationality finally stood up and told Liu Bei, not to mention whether he could kill Xu Shu in front of the elite soldiers of General Hussars. With the support of Zhong Jianning, if the supply from Sichuan and Shu is less, then even if they barely survive, they will not be able to go any further!
What''s more, Xu Shu is not the only one in Sichuan and Shu. As long as the Hussar General does not fall, the people in Sichuan and Shu may not agree with Liu Bei again. If they really want to take that step, it is really irreversible.
The time may be very long, but it seems to be very short. Just after Liu Bei bowed his head, Xu Shu slowly came out of the formation, with a slight smile on his face, "Liu Xuande, are you all right?" 』
Liu Bei''s soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Although he came from a long way and was wearing armor, Xu Shu didn''t show much fatigue on his face. It could even be said that his complexion was quite good, as if he was born accustomed to being in the army...
Well, Xu Shu''s physique is indeed different from that of ordinary administrative officials. So if other civil affairs officials were wearing armor, it would be awkward no matter how you look at it, but Xu Shu wearing armor felt quite appropriate, and he didn''t have much sense of disobedience.
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "I have seen Mr. Xu!" It''s a mistake to prepare for it if you haven''t greeted it from afar! 』
Xu Shu laughed, pulled Liu Bei up, looked him up and down, and said: "Xuande looks pretty good, it can be seen that Dingze is carefree!" 』
Liu Bei said: "It''s all thanks to Xu Shijun taking good care of you..."
The two stood and exchanged greetings for a while, then Liu Bei came to a realization and asked Xu Shu to go to Dingze.
Xu Shu''s attitude made Liu Bei feel more at ease, and it seems that what he did has not been discovered by Xu Shu. This should be regarded as a good thing, and it naturally made Liu Bei heave a sigh of relief, and led Xu Shu forward together.
However, this breath did not last long. At the foot of Dingze City, Xu Shu looked up at the Dingze City under repair, shook his head and smiled and said, "This Dingze City is small, if someone enters the city, wouldn''t even the roads be clogged up?" Forget it, just camp outside the city! 』
Liu Bei also said that he had arranged a mansion in the city for Xu Shu, but Xu Shu still insisted on staying in the barracks outside the city and did not enter the city.
After the welcome ceremony was over, Liu Bei bid farewell to Xu Shu and returned to Dingruo. Just as he sat down, Zhang Fei couldn''t help shouting: "Brother! This guy is still guarding against us! 』
Jian Yong closed his eyes, as if he would also close his ears if he could.
Liu Bei nodded: "Third brother, keep your voice down... This is normal, right... If Xu Yuanzhi shows trust in everything and is unguarded... Will you believe this, third brother?" 』
Zhang Fei muttered and shook his head.
『Isn’t that what it is? "Liu Bei said, "This method seems to be just right, showing closeness and some precautions... There is a balance between intimacy and estrangement, but..." Liu Bei pondered for a while, "I just don''t know if Xu Yuanzhi did it on purpose..."
Under normal circumstances, just like in history, Liu Bei would take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him wherever he went, and if he couldn''t, he would take Zhao Yun with him. It is impossible for Xu Shu to completely ignore his own safety. Those who are hostile and deliberately tease are probably only Mr. Zhu, who is Mr. Luo''s substitute.
This question, Guan Yu frowned, unable to answer. To try to figure out the deployment of the army, strategy and tactics, Guan Yu can do a good job, even quite well, but when it comes to trying to figure out people''s hearts, Guan Yu has some big gaps in this aspect, otherwise he wouldn''t have made a lot of low emotional intelligence in history things to come.
Zhang Fei couldn''t say anything. Although Zhang Fei is thick and thin, but when he is thin, he is often used on the battlefield. To make him "fine" in daily life, it is better to change Zhang Fei''s name.
The only person who can be regarded as having some ability in this area is Jian Yong.
Liu Bei didn''t expect any advice from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so he looked at Jian Yong after speaking.
Jian Yong looked at the south, as if there was a beautiful woman in the south.
Liu Bei was stunned and nodded again and again.
On the second day, Liu Bei went to Xu Shu''s camp as if nothing had happened, and reported to Xu Shu all the details of Ding Ruo''s affairs, and even sent the mined ore samples to Xu Shu.
Luo Luo talked for a while, Xu Shu didn''t seem to be impatient, and asked a few questions from time to time. The two were talking and laughing, and when the sun was approaching, soldiers under Liu Bei suddenly came to report, saying that they had seen Ruo people haunting the mining area, and suspected that they wanted to sabotage the mining of the ore...
Liu Bei was furious. While apologizing to Xu Shu, he ordered Guan Yu to take two hundred soldiers to the mining area to wipe out these restless Ze people.
Xu Shu looked at it with a half-smile, and then asked Liu Bei if he could take care of these Ruo people in Ding Ruo, and if he couldn''t solve it, would Xu Shu need to do it himself, which immediately made Liu Bei a little flustered, and repeatedly said that these Ruo people were suffering from ringworm and scabies , It’s not worth mentioning, I dare not bother Xu Shu to do it himself, as long as Guan Yu is dispatched, it will definitely be resolved smoothly...
Sure enough, when the sun was westward, Guan Yu came back with some Ruoren heads.
Xu Shu saw it, and then openly praised Guan Yu''s bravery before the whole army, and immediately rewarded him, and then said that Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, was so brave that he could make meritorious deeds in Jianning, and asked Liu Bei if he would let Guan Yu go to Jianning with the army .
Liu Bei suddenly felt like playing mahjong when he just hit a south wind and then felt a south wind again...
Originally, what Jian Yong meant was that if Xu Shu said that his heart was for Jianning, he would definitely not stay in Dingze for long, so today Liu Bei wrote and directed a turmoil among the people in Ruo, in order to express some meaning of threatening the bandit''s self-respect However, I didn''t expect that Xu Shu''s continuous cutting and beating not only broke Liu Bei''s plan, but also made Liu Bei unable to step down at the same time.
In the current situation, it is not acceptable to agree, and it is even worse not to agree.
If you agree, you will naturally go to Jianning together. If you don''t agree, maybe Xu Shu will become suspicious immediately and take some tough measures.
For a moment, Liu Bei felt that the cold sweat on his back was like a dozen ants crawling from top to bottom, or as if someone had put a few worms in from the neck, twisting and twisting between the skin and clothes. wriggling between.
For a while in Xu Shu''s big tent, the air seemed to condense suddenly, and even breathing was a little difficult, and everything around was quiet, leaving only the sound of the beating of the heart, as if not now Jumping desperately, the next moment I don''t know if I can continue to jump.
『Since it is important to make the king value it...』 Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said secretly, 『However, there is no room for loss in Ding Ruo, how about leaving a certain second younger brother here to guard against troubles caused by Ruo people, and a certain and Zhang Yide go to Jianning with the envoy? 』
Liu Bei''s voice fell. I don''t know if it was hallucination or some psychological factor. In short, the breath in Xu Shu''s big tent seemed to come alive again, and it began to flow, and the small and broken voices gradually came from outside the tent...
Xu Shu''s eyes moved slightly, he smiled, nodded and said, "It''s so kind... It''s late today, Xuande might as well go to rest, and we will set off together tomorrow for Jianning!" 』
Liu Bei was a little dumbfounded, and quickly covered it up, nodded in response, and led Guan Yu out of Xu Shu''s camp first.
Guan Yu didn''t ask any silly things like "Why did my brother say so?", because Guan Yu also noticed that there was something wrong around Xu Shu''s big tent. Of course, if Liu Bei and Guan Yu really do something, Xu Shu may not be able to escape, but in the same way, Liu Bei is not much better, so Liu Bei almost chose the best way out under the worst situation.
"Hi! This time it was self-defeating! 』
Liu Bei sighed in a low voice.
If you don''t do anything, maybe you won''t be superfluous. It was because Liu Bei made such a small move, but it made Xu Shu even more suspicious. But having said that, if Liu Bei is asked to do nothing, Liu Bei himself will not feel at ease, and may use another method to test Xu Shu, and the result may be even worse.
Rejecting Xu Shu''s proposal obviously made the situation suddenly worse, but simply agreeing to follow Xu Shu''s suggestion is not much better...
Because Liu Bei decided that Ruo was not flat, he generously let Guan Yu go to Jianning. On the one hand, it revealed that what he said was false, on the other hand, it also meant that he had some suspicions of abandoning Guan Yu.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bei chose to let Guan Yu stay in Dingze, which not only echoed his own previous remarks, but also showed that he was not guilty and was willing to accompany Xu Shu for a walk. In this way, the overall atmosphere was restored. Calm down.
"Brother..." Guan Yu said, "It''s dangerous to go...it''s better..."
Liu Bei shook his head slowly and said: "It''s okay... just play it by ear..." The big deal is that he ran away, and I may not be able to win others with other skills, but the special skills passed down from Liu Bang''s generation In terms of talent, Liu Bei really can''t lose to anyone.
Xu Shu frowned slightly as he watched Liu Bei and Guan Yu return to Dingruo.
Actually, Xu Shu’s trip to see Jianning’s military operations was ostensibly to quell chaos, but in fact the focus was on Liu Bei. According to the message from Guanzhong, Xu Shu had already released the news, making Liu Bei and others think that the rebellion in Jianning was very serious, and even affected the safety of Sichuan and Shu in the next stage, but in fact these barbarians in Jianning have maintained their excellent status since the Han Dynasty. The traditional tradition, the thunder is loud and the rain is little, and there is a lot of noise in the local area. If you want to sweep Sanfu like the Xiqiang, or invade the North like the Xiongnu Xianbei, because of the inherent restrictions, it is basically impossible. .
After all, the barbarian horses are indeed not many...
In addition to the problem of temperature difference between the north and the south, in the Han Dynasty, and even in other feudal dynasties for a long time later, the southerners wanted to attack the north. With both textile technology and production quantity low, they wanted to adapt to the cold autumn and winter in the north. A very big problem indeed. Of course, it is equally difficult for northerners to adapt to the swamps and wetlands in the south, where mosquitoes are hot and dry.
However, in a war, it is always easier to solve the problem of making soldiers wear less clothes than making soldiers wear more clothes. Therefore, from this perspective, under the condition that the amount of textiles is not saturated, the northerners always have a certain advantage. .
Therefore, it is best to solve the problems in Sichuan and Shu in Sichuan and Shu.
After Xu Shu came this time, the false and the real, the true and the false, made it difficult for Liu Bei to deal with it. However, Xu Shu really confirmed that Liu Bei had indeed made some small moves. On the front line of Wei Yan, the dispatched messenger soldiers...
