"The autumn wind rustles and kills people with sorrow. When you go out, you are also worried, and when you enter, you are also worried.
Who among you is not worried?
Make me grow old.
There is a lot of wind blowing in the wild land, so how can the trees be repaired?
As we get further and further away from home, our clothes become slower and slower.
I can't express my thoughts, and the wheels in my intestines are spinning..."
Liu Zhang leaned on the couch, sang a line, drank a cup, drank a cup, and sang another line. When he came to the end, he felt the grievances in his heart surged, and he let out a long sigh, and almost shed tears.
.
If you are not a leader, you will not know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Being a leader naturally has its authority, but it also has more responsibilities.
The problem is that Liu Zhang doesn't want responsibility, he just wants authority, good food and good drinks, and he can do everything without even thinking about it!
But now, this kind of thing, every day, was so troublesome, this kind of life really made Liu Zhang extremely annoyed and full of grievances. In the dead of night, he had nowhere to rely on to relieve himself, so he had to pour and drink by himself, worrying about the wine in his intestines.
Just when Liu Zhang was a little drunk and was about to fall asleep due to his drunkenness, he suddenly heard a faint commotion coming from outside.
Although Chengdu is not as good as Luoyang in Chang'an, it has been run by the Liu family for a long time. In addition, there are many guards inside and outside the palace. Normally, there would be nothing that would disturb Liu Zhang. However, suddenly something happened in Chengdu.
The noise started, and the night itself was quieter than during the day. When the sound came, it naturally echoed in the palace, allowing Liu Zhang to hear it clearly.
Liu Zhang was a bit drunk at first and didn't bother to pay attention at first. He just waited for the people outside to deal with it as soon as possible. When it stopped, he pulled him over and didn't want to get up and get angry. However, he didn't expect that the noisy and chaotic sound not only did not become smaller.
, but it was getting louder and louder. It was so disturbing that I couldn't sleep, so I couldn't hold back my anger anymore. I slapped the couch hard and sat up: "Here comes someone!"
The servants and stewards outside the palace quickly rolled in, bowed their hands and bowed their hands, and did not dare to raise their heads.
Liu Zhang snorted: "Now he is getting more and more bastard. Isn't it possible that I can't have any peace here alone? What's going on outside, why is it so noisy!"
The steward's face turned pale and he quickly said: "It seems that there was a fire in the water gate and we are putting out the fire, so there is a lot of noise..."
"Water Gate?" Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Water Gate is on fire?"
Although it was said that autumn was dry and fires like this were not unheard of, Liu Zhang seemed to feel that something was wrong. He pondered for a while, but could not come up with any clues, so he said, "Send the order for the patrol to put out the fire.
Don’t let what happened in Mianzhu happen again!”
"Wei!" The steward hurriedly backed away as if he had been granted amnesty.
Liu Zhang sat on the couch again, raised his head, listened to the sound, and thought for a moment, maybe he was drunk or for some other reason. Anyway, he still couldn't think of any problem, so he turned over and lay down again.
The brocade came and blocked my ears. Don't worry about it. Go to bed first. If it's on fire, it's on fire. As long as it doesn't burn over, don't bother to worry about it.
…………………………
A big boss once said that people must have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish? There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but not everyone is willing to become a salted fish, maybe they have no vision, maybe they don’t have a
Perhaps the scholarly family did not have the opportunity to break out of the original pattern, or perhaps they did not seize the opportunity when it came.
For Liu Bei, he must be a salty fish with a dream, so when the opportunity came, Liu Bei grabbed it tightly without hesitation and grabbed it at all costs.
Well, so, Liu Bei got married again.
When Guan Yu was nesting in the cabin and leading his soldiers to break through the water gate of Chengdu, Liu Bei was having his wedding with his bride in the courtyard outside Chengdu.
Marriage in the Han Dynasty naturally required a lot of etiquette as a rule, but our ancestors also took special circumstances into consideration, so they came up with the saying: follow the right in urgent matters.
That's right.
Every link was omitted. Liu Bei didn't care, and the Wu family didn't care either. Even the act of welcoming the bride was just Liu Bei going out from the front door, then going around in a circle, picking up someone from the back door, and then going back to the front door again.
Even if it's over.
Congratulatory guests?
No.
Wu Yi and Guan Yu were both in Chengdu and did not even have time to watch the ceremony, let alone other guests. There was only one Wu Ban who was very busy and busy.
The bride is Wu, the wife of the short-lived ghost Liu Hao and the sister of Wu Yi.
What?
Mi family?
Mr. Cai?
A certain surname?
Oh, come to think of it, isn't it still the old saying, brothers are like brothers and sisters, wives are like clothes? Of course, Liu Bei not only said the previous sentence, but also said, "Don't do evil for small things, don't do good for small things."
Rather than "...
The ceremony can be reorganized later, but the marriage bond must be finalized at this time. Otherwise, how can Wu Yi safely clear the way for Liu Bei?
The Wu family, unintentionally, is the last insurance for the cooperation between the two parties. It is not that Wu family is so beautiful and stunning that she can firmly tie Liu Bei's heart, but Wu family's original additional identity.
So when Liu Bei took off his clothes, put them on again, and stepped out of the courtyard, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang no longer had any room for reconciliation.
Neither does the Wu clan.
…………………………
When chaos broke out in the city, Yang Song was also holding a beautiful girl in his arms.
"...There are trees in the south, so you can't stop thinking about them. There are wandering girls in the Han Dynasty, so you can't think about them. The Han Dynasty is so vast, you can't think about swimming in it. The river is eternal, so you can't think about it..." Yang Song laughed, then narrowed his eyes,
He put his head and face on Mei Ji's chest, "Come on, let me rest for a moment and think about it..."
Mei Ji smiled sweetly, and while she raised her chest, she pushed Yang Song's head with her hands, but the strength was very small, and she didn't know whether she was pushing or massaging.
The noise gradually grew louder.
Yang Song reluctantly left Mei Ji's chest, tilted his head and listened for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he said hello: "What's the noise outside?"
"The water gate broke out, we are putting out the fire..." The figure outside the door shook for a moment, but did not come in, and answered directly.
"Oh, the water leaked..." Yang Song shook his head, and then he was about to put his head back, but suddenly paused, "Besides, where did the water leak?"
"Returning to the sacrificial wine, it is said that water leaked from the water gate..."
"Watergate?!" Yang Song's expression changed, he pushed Meiji away, stood up, and without adjusting his skewed robe, he rushed to the door in a few steps, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
Go and look towards the water gate.
Watergate breach?
Can the water gate still be drained?
Yang Song, who entered Chengdu, knew clearly that Chengdu was surrounded by city gates and all the mainland gates had barbicans. Only Shuimen Wharf was deep into the city and there were no additional barbicans to strengthen defense...
"Here comes someone!" Yang Song looked at the faint red light in the direction of the water gate, his eyes flashing, "Get ready, follow me to a place of departure!" In any case, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, although he doesn't know exactly what is going on.
No matter what the situation is, let's find a location that is relatively safer than the inn.
The guard hesitated a little, "Sacrifice wine, at this time..."
"It doesn't matter what time it is! Let's leave immediately!" Yang Song put on his robe in a haphazard manner. Now his own life is the most important thing, how can he care so much about etiquette!
…………………………
Liu Bei and Wu Yi met together and followed the path Guan Yu had taken to approach Liu Zhang's palace.
Liu Bei's expression was as usual, but Wu Yi was still a little uneasy. Although Wu Yi knew in his heart that he had to do this, it would be tantamount to going against most of the big families in Sichuan and Shu, plus there was Zhengxi outside.
With eager eyes, what the future holds is still unknown.
But Liu Bei was much calmer. After all, wasn't he just devoted to fulfilling his dream? He didn't have any family burdens and encountered such a good era and such a good opportunity. If he didn't work hard, how could he be worthy of his own salted fish?
More than a hundred torches were burning, the soldiers and armor were sparkling, colliding with each other, and adding the sound of footsteps on the stone road, exuding boundless killing intent. Two hundred Wu's private soldiers plus two hundred Danyang soldiers under Liu Bei's tent
, all wearing heavy armor, surrounded by Liu Bei and Wu Yi, who were also wearing armor, and rushed towards Liu Zhang's palace.
Liu Zhang's weak control over Sichuan and Shu was clearly demonstrated at this moment. After the chaos broke out in the city, some soldiers and laborers who were originally responsible for patrolling subconsciously ran to the water gate carrying large and small buckets to prepare to put out the fire.
, but when they saw that the situation was not what they expected, and it was not a simple fire, they immediately threw down the bucket and wooden basin, turned around and ran away.
The Shifangfang Gate along the way was either opened by the Wu family's early arrangements, or was conquered by Guan Yu with the vanguard. Along the way, even though some wealthy families had private soldiers, none of them came out.
They just guarded their own courtyard tightly, almost letting Liu Bei and Wu Yi go in and out of an uninhabited land.
Otherwise, it is easiest to destroy the castle from the inside?
When many big-name households in the city saw Wu Yi and Liu Bei, they immediately realized that the chaos in the city tonight was not only a chaos, but also represented a change in the political landscape. Whether it was a dragon taking flight or a dragon and a snake hiding, they were not sure.
Some of them had bad tempers and couldn't help but jump and yell, saying that the big families in front were damned for not sending troops to intercept them. Then when they saw Wu Yi and Liu Bei approaching, they finally gave the order to close the door tightly and wait for the dust to settle...
No one else is on it, why should I?
Anyone who can make a fortune is not a fool, and with four to five hundred armored elite soldiers, they are a tough guy no matter where they are. Naturally, it is impossible for a big man in the city to risk his life to kill his own minions.
He didn't hesitate to use them all, even if they broke apart, so he watched Liu Bei and Wu Yi swaggering past, heading towards Liu Zhang's palace in the city.
On the outer wall of Liu Zhang's palace, some guards were on duty. When they picked up Wu Yi, they almost thought they were dazzled. After confirming the facts, they immediately screamed: "Oh no! Wu Zhonglang has rebelled! We are sending troops to kill him."
!”
The screams were long and loud, and could be heard far away in the night sky.
The entire palace of Liu Zhang suddenly broke into commotion, and the sound of crying rose to the sky.
Before Liu Bei and his party started to attack the palace gate, they heard a commotion inside. Then the palace gate suddenly burst open, and then more than ten guards rushed out. They neither rushed toward Liu Bei or Wu Yi, nor formed a defensive formation.
, but pressed against the base of the palace wall and fled in all directions!
As the firelight flickered, I seemed to see some people inside the gate, whether they were frightened or dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. They were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Wu Yi and Liu Bei...
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Yi, secretly becoming wary.
Wu Yi frowned slightly and noticed Liu Bei's gaze. When he turned around to look over, he found that Liu Bei had already retracted his gaze and looked forward. He suddenly felt a shiver in his heart.
The more common things are, the more intelligent people cannot believe that they are so common. In the hearts of Liu Bei and Wu Yi, the incident of Liu Zhang's palace gate opening on its own was not a simple cowardly escape, but a deliberate arrangement by the other party. They couldn't help but feel in their hearts.
They were all jumping around, and I was secretly frightened, but it was hard to ask, because if I asked, it would appear that I was too pretentious and would expose my shortcomings.
But in the current situation, asking or not asking is not the most important thing...
Liu Bei laughed: "Brother Wu, please!"
"Xuan De Gong, please!" Wu Yi did not show off in front of Liu Bei just because Liu Bei married his own girl. He still humbly let Liu Bei go first.
Liu Bei's eyes flashed a few times, he smiled slightly, and without any more courtesy, he boldly led his troops forward.
When he first took over the post of Xuzhou Shepherd, Liu Bei was very uneasy and had no idea what he was going to do and what to do. But now that he has gained more experience, Liu Bei naturally showed a bit more calmness.
Liu Bei's calmness strengthened Wu Yi's confidence, so he also smiled and followed Liu Bei...
To be honest, Liu Bei himself also knew that at this point, replacing Liu Zhang was not an excellent choice, but for Liu Bei, there was no extra room for choice. If he did not desire a high position or pursue territory, then in
Luoyang was a loose idler, and Cao Sikong was eager to support him, so why did he have to travel around and work all these years?
There are huge risks in taking over Sichuan and Shu now, and this fool knows it. But the question is, if there are no risks in Sichuan and Shu, which fool is willing to hand over Sichuan and Shu?
Liu Bei walked forward slowly, stepping on the wooden boards laid in the hall.
Creak, creak.
The soldiers behind them advanced with a clatter.
Back then, in Xuzhou, weren’t foreign enemies looking around, looking for treachery within?
No matter how difficult the land of Sichuan and Shu is, will it be as difficult as Xuzhou, the land of the Fourth War with empty reserves?
Above the main hall, behind more than a dozen guards, Liu Zhang looked at Wu Yi and said through gritted teeth, "It's you?!" Liu Zhang had never seen Liu Bei and didn't recognize him.
Wu Yi stepped aside, and Liu Bei smiled calmly, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Liu Yizhou... has been famous for a long time, and now we can finally see him, isn't it right?"
