Chapter 1561 The night is desolate
The night is desolate.
The wind is frightened.
??If you have some egg shells and blow on them, it will be very good and suitable for the occasion.
The three Liu Bei brothers were sitting and lying in the same tent, speechless for a while.
??The bonfire in the tent has been extinguished, and there is only a torch left on a small wooden stick, standing in the corner of the tent, which somewhat separates Liu Bei and the others from the darkness.
Guan Yu **** his hands and feet and was lying on the couch. There was faint blood in the white cloth around his hands and feet. The smell of blood smelled like a single dog. Bah, the fragrance of herbs. Although his expression was a little sluggish, Perhaps it was because the treatment was relatively timely, so no complications have been found so far. However, if Guan Yu wants to recover from such an injury, he will need to rest for at least a few months.
"Second brother..." Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was not sleeping, so he leaned over and asked softly, "Are you feeling sick? Do you want some water?"
? Guan Yu shook his head silently and sighed softly: "It doesn''t matter... I just feel a little aggrieved..."
"Ouch..." Zhang Fei couldn''t hold it in anymore and lowered his voice and roared, "This little thief from Zhengxi lies and deceives! He is so angry!"
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei pursed his lips and turned away.
Zhang Fei really couldn''t hold it in anymore, but he didn''t dare to shout too loudly when he called Gui Ming, because Zhang Fei knew that the first person to be deceived was Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was seriously injured. If he shouted loudly, It would be even worse if Guan Yu had an emotional breakdown and his injuries collapsed.
The three Liu Bei brothers are not fools. When they were separated, they could be deceived by Fei Qian one by one. When they got together, they naturally exposed Fei Qian''s previous strategy. While they were glad that their brothers were not in trouble, they also It''s inevitable that there will be a lot more anger. But of this anger, six points are due to defeat, three points are due to confusion about the future, and the remaining one point is due to the anger of being deceived...
Liu Bei gently held Guan Yu''s hand, glared at Zhang Fei again, and comforted Guan Yu with warm words: "Second brother, third brother, you and I are brothers. In this case, how can we abandon brothers lightly? What''s more... Zheng Xiye It’s not too much, but we still have Danyang soldiers left for the three of us…”
“Did you keep Danyang soldiers?” Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately diverted by Liu Bei and asked in unison.
Liu Bei nodded, remembering how he followed Fei Qian around the barracks during the day. He blinked a few times and sighed slightly: "You and I, brothers, were not defeated unjustly... Zhengxi, this person, is so profound. Test... Second brother, third brother, not to mention the Sichuan and Shu soldiers... The Dongzhou soldiers have been in our hands for at least a year, right? But they were in the hands of Zhengxi, and after only two or three nights, most of them returned... Really, really. ...Sigh, if Zheng Xi hadn’t shown some kindness, I’m afraid the Danyang soldiers would have also..."
“What?!” Zhang Fei’s eyes widened.
"Conquer the west with Sichuan and Shu to lead Sichuan and Shu, use Jingxiang to be close to Jingxiang, and use Guanzhong to capture Dongzhou..." Liu Bei said slowly, "Task his spirit with trivial matters, calm his mind with food and clothing, and induce his wishes with meritorious deeds... Now Among the three armies of Sichuan, Sichuan, Jingxiang, and Dongzhou, seven to eight out of ten have put aside their old grudges. I don’t know whether you or I, brothers, can only conquer the west..."
Guan Yu couldn''t help but take a breath of cold air. Guan Yu was also a person who specialized in military training for a long time. Naturally, he knew in his heart that for these soldiers who were transferred from farmers, their minds were dull. Sometimes they could not understand people''s words without using sticks and whips. However, for this group of people, Liu Bei actually said that most of these people had returned to Zhengxi, which made Guan Yu inexplicable.
"These evil-hearted guys! Their consciences have been eaten by maggots!" Zhang Fei muttered dissatisfied, "Thank you for treating them so well! What a waste of my kindness!"
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei but said nothing. Zhang Fei''s so-called kindness came with a whip. In Zhang Fei''s eyes, if the soldiers disobey, they will be beaten. If they are beaten, they will be obedient. Therefore, unless he wants to make a bad face, Liu Bei will generally not let Zhang Fei come forward. Training soldiers…
Regardless of whether Zhang Fei''s kindness is sincere or not, Liu Bei was amazed at the speed at which he gathered soldiers from Zhengxi. At the same time, while he and Fei Qian were wandering around the barracks, Liu Bei also had a few points. He did not express his feelings directly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Because it’s useless even if I say it.
??Fei Qian was using this method to explain to Liu Bei that the expedition to the west was more suitable than Liu Bei''s and was more popular with these soldiers. He was also trying to tell Liu Bei to calm down...
However, although Liu Bei vaguely knew the intention of conquering the West, he was not convinced.
"Ha, after all, Zhengxi still left Danyang soldiers behind, saying that they are still under you and my brothers..." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Second brother, don''t think too much, now, take good care of your injuries, and wait until you are healed. , can make a difference..."
?Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, second brother needs to take good care of his injuries. Tell me what you want to eat. I, Old Zhang, will go hunting some animals in the mountains outside the camp tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Guan Yu sighed slightly, nodded, then lay down again and closed his eyes.
Liu Bei comforted Zhang Fei again and drove Zhang Fei to sleep. Then he returned to the bed next to him and lay down. He turned sideways and covered himself with the quilt. The gentleness on his face slowly faded in the darkness. It''s getting colder. The Danyang soldiers left behind in the expedition to the west are indeed somewhat worthy of joy, but only a little, because the Danyang soldiers are already in disrepair and there are not many left...
Another very important point is that if there are only three of them, if they really want to escape after Guan Yu recovers from his injury, Fei Potential can guard against it for a day, but not for a year. But now that there are more Danyang soldiers and even some wounded soldiers, it is not so light and easy to leave.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
If you don’t look for Zhengxi, where can you get it?
?As for looking for Zheng Xi, after reaching out again and again, how long can I maintain the ambition and arrogance in my heart?
?These Danyang soldiers look like they are being taken care of by Zheng Xi, but why are they not just in shackles?
?It''s a pity that I have to take it willingly and put it on myself...
Zhengxi, Zhengxi...
Liu Bei huddled in the shadows on the bed, eyes open and frowning. Seeing that I had climbed over the threshold of not being confused, I was quickly heading towards knowing my destiny. My body seemed to be aging faster. Will the ambition in my heart be realized one day?
Where is the glory of the Han family?
?The world is so big, is there really no place where my three brothers can settle down?
Unconsciously, Liu Bei felt that the corners of his eyes were a little warm, which soon turned cold. He quickly wiped them with his sleeves, exhaled slowly, and closed his eyes silently.
The night is desolate.
Heart panicked.
There seemed to be some sparse sounds above the tent. After a while, the soldiers on duty in the camp exclaimed: "Ah ha! It''s snow! It''s snowing, it''s snowing..."
……………………
Anhan.
The sky is gloomy.
??Yi Ji was wearing a warrior uniform with narrow cuffs. He held a sword in one hand and danced a long sword in the other hand. He was orderly and solemn, and he had a vague sense of grandeur. Most of the scholars in the Han Dynasty were proficient in two-handed martial arts. No matter how bad they were, they could pick up a bow and shoot for several rounds. As long as they were not like Guo Jia, who took drugs every day, their martial arts value could be in the fifties or sixties. Basically, they were all normal range.
Yiji followed Liu Qi to Badong, but met Kuai Qi, who had a strong desire for power. Well, in other words, the three brothers of the Kuai family are all about the same. Perhaps only the eldest brother of the Kuai family is a little more stable, and the second and third brothers are both. Somewhat striving for power.
As an old man who has followed Liu Biao for many years, Yi Ji is not willing to quarrel with Kuai Qi, so he gives in to Kuai Qi most of the time. Anyway, he only needs to take care of internal affairs and help the young master Liu Qi stabilize people''s livelihood. , As for other things, Yiji doesn''t want to take care of it, and of course, he can''t.
"A gentleman''s sword should be done with knowledge, and with the sleeves raised, the sun and stars will shine..." After dancing to the point where his interest was high, Yi Ji put away the long sword, flicked it on the ridge of the sword body, and chanted a long song, "...the sword in the hand, Painting the past and present, breaking away from the floating clouds, and opening up the Taiqing..."
"A gentleman''s sword should be straight..." Liu Qi couldn''t help but applaud and praised, "A gentleman''s sword should be straight, unyielding and keep straight... Ji Bo''s words are insightful and thought-provoking..."
Yiji turned around, quickly lowered the sword in his hand, put it into the scabbard, cupped his hands and said: "I didn''t know that the young master was coming, and I didn''t come far to greet you. I hope you will forgive me..."
Hmm, I meant "knowing and doing", not "acting straight"! When you hit a wall, you need to know the pain and find a way instead of just thinking about "going straight"!
?But it’s hard to say, you silly boy, you’ve got everything wrong...
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "It doesn''t matter, it doesn''t matter. I am rude. I came here hastily. I hope Ji Bo won''t be surprised."
?Yi Ji even said he didn''t dare, and then asked Liu Qi to take a seat in the hall and asked the servants to prepare food and refreshments.
“No need to go to too much trouble...” Liu Qi said, “I brought some drinks with me and wanted to have a drink with Uncle Ji...”
The two sat down in the hall. After a moment of silence, Liu Qi took the lead and said, "Uncle Ji, do you think we can fight against the West alone?"
?Yi Ji was stunned and pondered, but did not answer immediately.
Liu Qi let out a long sigh and said: "When I heard that my family was in trouble, I wished I could turn around immediately and serve at my knees... However, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, we have lost our troops and lost our territory. What would be the point of returning to the army... Oh my! …”
??Yi Ji glanced at Liu Qi slightly and understood.
Liu Fang is ill now.
Liu Qi is naturally eager to go back...
??Although the relationship between Liu Qi and Liu Biao is not very good, after all, this is related to the inheritance of Jing Xiang, so unless you are a fool, everyone knows what to do. But the problem is that since Liu Qi entered Sichuan, he has not won any battles, and has not even any meritorious achievements. If he goes back like this, it is really like Liu Qi himself said, he has no face at all, so what? Fight with his brother?
"The three Liu brothers exaggerated! They have done a lot of harm to someone!" When Liu Qi said this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "First, they tricked someone''s soldiers, but they couldn''t defeat him in central Sichuan! Now that they have conquered Chengdu in the west, they will definitely gather their soldiers and march soon. Badong, Jingchuan Shu! Now I am a fish and a man, what can I do?"
??Yi Ji said slowly: "Young Master is overly worried... The expedition to the west will not lead to Badong quickly..."
"Why did Uncle Ji say this?" Liu Qi stared at Yi Ji with bright eyes and asked without blinking.
Yi Ji bowed slightly and said: "Although Sichuan is defeated, it is not yet certain. When we conquer the west and gain Chengdu, we must appease the people inside before we can fight outside. In addition, the wind is cold in winter and the Badong mountain road is rugged. Even if you want to fight, you can''t. After the spring of next year, we only need to be careful about Anhan at this moment, but there is nothing to worry about. "
Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then raised it again, his eyes narrowed, "So, if you don''t have immediate worries, should you have long-term worries?"
Yi Ji nodded, his tone still calm and sincere: "Master, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? In the past... well, forget it... Now that Zhengxi has taken control of Sichuan, how can we sit back and watch Badong hanging outside? ?”
Liu Qi twisted twice uneasily, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, and his face seemed to be getting gloomier.
Yi Ji sits upright, as if like a puppet.
Liu Qi glanced sideways at Yi Ji, then turned around, facing Yi Ji, and said sincerely: "If we follow Ji Bo''s plan, what should we do now?"
Yi Ji smiled slightly and said almost without thinking: "The choice now is not Ji''s strategy, but what the master wants..." I have said before that you don''t even listen to that little Kuai Qi. You bitch, you finally know how to find me now, bah, I’m here?
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "I feel very ashamed for not following Uncle Ji''s advice before... Now that the situation is urgent, I hope that Uncle Ji will take care of my family and not hesitate to give me some advice..."
Yiji lowered his eyelids and whispered: "If you look at it in a certain way, it''s still the same word..."
Liu Qi frowned tightly and said, "Peace? Sue for peace?"
Yiji is silent.
Liu Qi took a deep breath and turned to look outside the hall.
The clouds in the sky were low, there was almost no wind, and the surroundings were dull, just like Liu Qi''s heart at the moment, depressed and powerless.
As a person who is still on the edge of the middle school age range, Liu Qi, even though he is under a lot of pressure now, there are still some people who can do this, but you must not talk about the idea, if not for the fact that he is following Liu Biao in Yiji. The old man, after all, can be regarded as an uncle, so he must know how powerful he is!
"But..." Liu Qi was silent for a long time and whispered, "If a certain person led troops into Sichuan...if he... stopped fighting and asked for peace with Zhengxi, wouldn''t he be ridiculed by others?"
Yi Ji smiled slightly and said, "Master, does he know about the Huang family in Jingxiang?"
"Huh?" Liu Qi was in a daze. Why did the topic suddenly turn to the Huang family in Jingxiang while talking?
Yi Ji said: "My lord is in charge of Jingxiang and eight counties in the north and south. There are thousands of officials and hundreds of thousands of soldiers... How can you be ashamed of the Huang family in Jingxiang?" I can tolerate it, but you **** naughty child can tolerate it. No? If you can''t stand what others say, why don''t you think about the bad things you did before?
Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn''t help but stay for a long time, unable to say anything for a long time.
Outside the hall, it became more and more gloomy. Immediately, I don’t know when, flakes of snow started to float down, and they rushed towards the earth full of filth and bloodstains without hesitation, as if trying to cover everything, and also as if they were trying to purify this person. worldly…
