Chapter 1791 Head, butt
At the beginning of the battle with the barbarians, Liu Bei still felt that he had little to do with him at first. Since Xu Shu didn''t agree with him being a striker, then he just stood and watched the fun and honestly became a melon-eating crowd. Is there anything wrong?
Liu Bei''s reason for asking Ying to be a striker is actually very simple. On the way, although Xu Shu didn''t say anything, Liu Bei was keenly aware that something seemed wrong, so on the one hand, he could use this move to show his heart , On the other hand, if there are some losses in the forward battle, you can also push the boat and shrink back...
Therefore, when Liu Bei saw that the Yi people seemed vulnerable and retreated after leaving all his corpses behind, he realized that if the Yi people behaved so badly, he would lose the reason to shirk his next argument!
And are the barbarians really so low in combat power?
Obviously, in front of the frontal battle, the Yi people can''t take much advantage, but if the Yi people and the Zo people are somewhat similar, it means that the Yi people have not brought out their strengths!
Now, the Yi people either choose the more powerful fighting mode they are good at, and use a stupid and ineffective way to attack, or there are only two possibilities, one is that the head of the Yi people is broken, and the other is The Yi people used the strategy of underestimating the enemy, trying to underestimate the Han army.
If this is the case, then the second batch of advancing Han troops must naturally be the targets of these barbarians, and who will become the second batch of advancing Han troops? Undoubtedly, the possibility of this task falling on Liu Bei''s head is greatly increased.
So Liu Bei said almost immediately: "It''s broken! 』
Liu Bei''s voice caught Xu Shu''s attention, and he looked over.
Liu Bei immediately took advantage of the momentum and said: "The barbarians invaded the entire territory of Jianning within a few days, which is enough to show that they must have a leader who organizes and dispatches them... At present, the barbarians have no rules and are fighting chaotically. How contemptuous we are. The intention of seduction is also... If you approach it rashly, you may fall into the trap...』
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Xuande is very worried! Now that Xuande has such precautions, I feel relieved... Xuande can lead the troops of the headquarters to advance slowly, and a certain army can lead the Chinese army to respond behind. Aiding them, the two sides will attack each other, and the barbarians will definitely come and go! 』
Liu Bei''s face turned pale, and his heart sank, knowing that he still couldn''t hide it after all, so he could only sip his answer, and prepared not to mention it.
Xu Shu looked at the back of Liu Bei leaving, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"interesting…"
…( ̄ ̄)…
『Brother...』 Seeing Liu Bei coming back, Zhang Fei greeted Liu Bei and said, 『That guy, didn’t you make things difficult for your brother? 』
Liu Bei smiled, patted Zhang Fei''s arm, and waited for Jian Yong to come, before saying in a low voice: "I''m afraid I''m suspicious of Xu Shijun..."
Both Zhang Fei and Jian Yong nodded silently, without any fuss. Speaking of it, it is not uncommon for Liu Bei to be suspicious of this or that. When he was under Cao Cao, he was also suspected by Cao Cao. Later, when he came to Liu Biao, he did not necessarily trust Liu Biao.
Whose fault is this?
Did Liu Bei not cover up well, or were Cao Cao and Liu Biao both sharp?
Liu Bei has ambitions. Even though he conceals his ambitions, it is inevitable to show them. In addition, in the troubled times, there is not much warmth in the whole world. What kind of trust and sincerity are repeated time and time again? He was beaten and bruised all over during the intrigue, so whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Biao, they always had doubts about Liu Bei, which is also a very common thing, and it is not worth making a fuss about.
Now it''s Fei Qian''s turn.
and Xu Shu.
『It’s God’s will to trick people...』
Liu Bei raised his head and sighed.
People often look up at the sky, at the white clouds fluttering, at the blue sky, lamenting the loftiness and purity of the sky, then lower their heads and have to face the dirt and dust on the ground again.
『Brother, what shall we do? ’ Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei smiled, "We will march tomorrow..."
At this point, there are only walking steps...
…(··)…
Liu Bei entered the army so obediently?
Xu Shu got the news, got out of the big tent, boarded the watchtower, and saw Liu Bei leading his soldiers slowly walking forward...
Speaking of it, Xu Shu also seems to have an inexplicable feeling for Liu Bei.
Maybe it''s all because he was born in a poor family?
Liu Bei claimed that his ancestor was King Jing of Zhongshan. Although he was also recognized by Liu Xie, everyone knew exactly what was going on. As for Xu Shu, his family background is not very good. In order to exonerate him back then, it made the already difficult family worse. How to meet my mother...
Liu Bei bought mat shoes, and Xu Shu went into exile to escape crimes. They all suffered a lot, so the two people also had some common language in history. They didn''t even need Liu Bei''s sleeping clothes, and they were quickly accepted by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. It''s not like Brother Zhu, who had to sleep on the same bed and feel like a fish in water before he was reluctantly recognized by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
So when Liu Bei made these actions, Xu Shu seemed to be able to guess and understand.
But what, understanding is understanding, understanding is understanding.
It seems that Wei Yan also approached Xu Shu in private, saying that Liu Bei is unreliable, he might as well find a reason or something, and just drop it for a hundred...
Of course, if we follow Wei Yan''s suggestion, it will indeed save a lot of trouble, but Xu Shu thinks that the Hussar General''s arrangement is more reasonable and more appropriate.
Currently, there is no one who is more suitable than Liu Bei to develop the Southwest of Dahan...
Liu Bei has the status of a royal family. Anyway, Dahan has been in business for three or four hundred years, and it is more or less an old brand, just like the ducks of Quanmoude in later generations. If you don''t eat it, you will feel a little regretful.
What''s more, on the southwest side, the name of the Han royal family is quite useful. From Liu Yan to the end of Liu Chan, and even after the unification of Jin, there are still some people who say that they are subordinates of the Han, not Jin country.
Second, Liu Bei has this ability.
Of course, ability is not necessarily a good thing, but people without ability will only cause trouble and will not do things. Among the many big and corrupt officials who feel that doing more is more wrong, so they would rather do nothing, Liu Bei, who is willing to do something and is willing to do something, is undoubtedly an alternative.
The third point is that Liu Bei can endure hardships.
The southwest of the Han Dynasty, outside of Sichuan and Sichuan, is really bitter.
If other people come, they can’t help being lonely, and they can’t bear the hardships. For three days or two, they want to search for the people’s wealth, and then bribe the boss so that they can find some and transfer them to other rich places. Isn''t that the case for many Han officials in the Western Qiang in those days? This led to the continuous rebellion of the Western Qiang Dynasty, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of the Han Dynasty.
The most important point is that Liu Bei does not have much foundation, so he is like duckweed. If he leaves the big man, he will not be able to take root if he has not closed for decades. However, a local gentry like Shi Xie who is more than a hundred years old is definitely better than Liu Bei. It is easier to form the consequences of separatism.
Having said that, if Liu Bei is really unusable, Xu Shu can''t just force it. At worst, he will report the situation to General Hussars, and let Generals Hussars continue to find the next suitable candidate...
And now is Liu Bei''s last chance, and also the last stage for him to show off.
Cherish the moment!
This is your last option...
Seeing Liu Bei looking back, Xu Shu smiled slightly, and cupped his hands on the watchtower, as if saying goodbye, or expressing something else.
Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then returned a salute, then turned and left...
…(·Д·)」…
『Something is wrong...』 Liu Bei suddenly said softly as he walked.
Zhang Fei immediately looked around with his eyes wide open when he heard the words, but he didn''t see anything unusual for a long time, so he scratched his head and asked, "There is nothing unusual... What''s wrong, brother?" 』
Liu Bei stroked his beard and said, "Third brother, don''t you think it''s a bit too smooth?" 』
Zhang Fei asked, "What went well?" 』
Because of Xu Shu, Liu Bei''s original plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight in Dingruo failed, and he had to go with Xu Shu, so for Liu Bei, the difficulty increased invisibly, and it became the first thing to protect himself , and secondly, it is best to let Xu Shu lose if possible.
So, Liu Bei had a rough plan from the beginning, which was to find an opportunity. One can not only make himself invincible, but also make Xu Shu have to participate...
For example, I can find a dangerous place and defend it on the spot. While attracting the barbarians, I can also report to Xu Shu that the main force of the barbarians is being held back. Xu Shu will definitely cover up and kill them, so I can calmly Watching the battle on the mountain, it is best to go down and kill yourself when both losers.
Or simply pretending to be inadvertent, release the dead soldiers again, tell the barbarians that the large army is actually in the rear through the mouth of the dead soldiers, and then deliberately choose a place that deviates from the road, so that the barbarian people can sneak attack the route of the large army behind...
These strategies are all available, depending on the situation and how to choose.
However, Liu Bei suddenly felt something was wrong again, as if something had been overlooked by him. What is it?
Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to arrange for soldiers to find a place to set up camp, and at the same time found Jian Yong. The two sat down and reorganized the matters from Dingzuo to the present.
『Hiss... um...』Jian Yong pondered for a long time, then suddenly said, "My lord, can you tell Mr. Xu... about Li Deang''s follow-up?" 』
"what? ! 』Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then froze.
Because Liu Bei let Li Hui go, he actually did something tricky, and he also had some not very aboveboard thoughts, so when facing Xu Shu, he naturally subconsciously wanted to avoid talking about this topic, so Xu Shu didn''t Asked, Liu Bei did not specifically mention it.
Just like a thief would not take the initiative to say that he stole something, and a person who throws a firecracker into a **** pit would not say that he still has incense in his hand.
After all, Jian Yong was a half-bystander, after sorting it out, he felt that if there was something wrong, perhaps only this place was the most problematic, but when he asked, he knew the result from Liu Bei''s expression, and couldn''t help sighing .
Liu Bei suddenly remembered Xu Shu''s farewell bow on the watchtower when he left, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he broke out in cold sweat. Liu Bei has been calculating Xu Shu during this period of time, what if Xu Shu also wants to take this opportunity to calculate himself?
Is Xu Shu a fool?
Obviously not, if Xu Shu is not a fool, then the situation needs to be deduced according to the worst situation!
In this way, all the original settings will be overturned!
All original plans need to be re-enacted!
Jian Yong felt a little guilty, and apologized to Liu Bei. As a counselor, although Jian Yong knew that his level was average, this was not an excuse for him not doing a good job. After all, a counselor should do a good job before something happens. Plan instead of panicking after something happens.
Liu Bei laughed, the smile was still gentle, he comforted Jian Yong, expressing that he didn''t think clearly about the matter that had nothing to do with Jian Yong.
Although this is the case, neither Liu Bei nor Jian Yong is someone who can make seventeen or eighteen ideas in a short time, so when faced with a situation where almost all of the original plans have to be overthrown and redone, it is a bit difficult. Tricky, sitting silently.
After a while, Liu Bei laughed twice, expressing that Jian Yong needn’t worry, just relax, and go to rest first, maybe take a good rest, there will be a good solution tomorrow…
Liu Bei sent Jian Yong away with a smile, turned his head, his brows had already collapsed before the smile on his mouth was closed. Don''t worry? A fool would not worry. Liu Bei is not a fool, of course he knows that if the current situation is as he guessed, it is already an extremely dangerous situation, there is no need to explain in particular, Liu Bei can imagine at least three or four ways to make himself die clearly clearly...
what to do?
The sky was getting dark, looking at the ray of red light in the mountains, Liu Bei felt that it was like his future.
Conversely, fight Xu Shu head-on?
How can I fight with my small arms and legs?
Or simply join the Jianning side, and then use the Jianning barbarians to seize Sichuan and Sichuan together?
But the question is, do these barbarians in Jianning have such abilities?
Liu Bei looked up at the sky, silent.
Nothing to say all night.
The sun still rose the next day, as if nothing happened yesterday, still smiling. Just like the smile on Liu Bei''s face, with a kind of warmth.
『Brother? Zhang Fei walked to the side, and said with some hesitation, "I have already arranged for soldiers to make early preparations...we will be..."
『Good…』Liu Bei nodded and said, 「Let’s go when you run out of candied milk…」
Zhang Fei replied, but did not move.
The morning mist blows past, blowing Liu Bei''s robe, and also blowing Liu Bei''s headband.
Zhang Fei suddenly saw that Liu Bei''s temples seemed to have some gray color...
『Third brother...Third brother? 』
"hold head high? Zhang Fei came back to his senses, "Brother, please tell me!" 』
Liu Bei smiled slightly, the smile flickering in the morning light, "Who do you think we are...?" 』
"who? Zhang Fei was a little puzzled, and rubbed his beard, "Good guy? 』
Liu Bei smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Fei slapped his hands, "By the way, we are Han Chinese!" 』
Liu Bei nodded slowly, "Well, yes, we are Han people..."
