Desire is like a devil that always conforms to people's inner standards. It is tempting and attracting all the time, making people put down what they should do, go towards it, stick to it, and then stay in its arms.
He sinks and eventually loses everything he originally had.
Liu Bei couldn't let go of his desire, so he couldn't defeat his desire.
Of course, having said that, perhaps only when Liu Bei in history was facing death did he sigh, whether true or false, and let Zhuge decide what to do...
There are many "if" things in the world, such as "if I had known it earlier" and "if I hadn't done it"
, "If it should be" and so on, but when these "ifs" appear, the ending is actually almost determined.
Li Hui also regretted it.
Sometimes I would toss and turn at night, feeling that I should not seek to settle the dispute, leading to failure in the fight. Sometimes I would secretly hide behind Liu Bei's men, gnashing my teeth in the darkness, hating myself for not seizing the opportunity to deal with Liu Bei, resulting in
In the end, he was overturned by Liu Bei.
If dreams require effort, then desires come with a price.
But now, the price Li Hui paid was obviously quite expensive.
So as Li Hui, would he hate himself? Yes, but what he hated more was Liu Bei. However, in order to preserve the little hope in his heart, Li Hui had to smile and greet Liu Bei with respect.
But what Li Hui didn't expect was that a turning point would come to him so quickly.
"What Mr. Liu means is..." Li Hui confirmed carefully, unable to believe his ears. He even used the honorific title, observing all Liu Bei's expressions and actions in an unprecedentedly humble manner.
Liu Bei smiled kindly, as usual, and said slowly, his voice low and steady, like a rock in the wind, "Brother De'ang, if you don't want to get close to me and seek benefits, you have to do it."
Also...brother De'ang, do you know that Mr. Xu wants to come to Dingzuo?"
"What?!" Li Hui was stunned.
Liu Bei nodded, and then sighed and said: "Now that Brother De'ang has lost Jianning, this... if Xu Shijun sees it, this crime of losing soil... Oh! I'm afraid..."
Xu Shu is coming to settle the marriage?
Li Hui's head felt as if someone had hit his ear with a gong, and there was a buzzing sound. For Li Hui, if he lost the army, it was just a failure in the exam, and Xu Shu came to settle the matter.
It is equivalent to handing over the failed test results to the parents. Most people who fail in the test may be criticized and scolded, or at most beaten, but if Li Hui messed up, he would be punished with the lightest "copper fine to offset the crime"
, you also need to be able to get a lot of money! And with the fall of Jianning, where can Li Hui find money?
So basically, since Xu Shu, Li Hui has been on the road to death.
"Liu Gong is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue! Please accept my respects from my little brother!"
Li Hui understood and was about to kowtow to Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly stopped him and sighed: "I and Brother De'ang have never had any enmity. The swordsmen before were just a misunderstanding. Now I really can't bear to see Brother De'ang die here... Now
De'ang is leaving, but I don't know when we can see each other again. In my heart... in my heart... ah..."
As Liu Bei spoke, his eye circles turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes. They reflected the winter sunshine, which was crystal clear and very beautiful. However, 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 sleeves, and then said: "Brother De'ang also saw it, and he was also quite embarrassed... so this soldier... can only be equipped like this for the time being. I hope De'ang
Forgive me, brother..."
Being able to leave Dingze as soon as possible, Li Hui would not say anything to flatter the situation. Besides, he originally did not expect Liu Bei to provide much support, but now it is natural to take what is given, and it is not the time to care about it, so he is very busy.
After agreeing, he thanked Liu Bei again.
This time, Liu Bei did not stop him. After receiving the gift, he expressed that he wanted to give Li Hui a gift. The two argued politely for a while, and finally Li Hui's firm attitude 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 him from the top of the mountain. He couldn't help but turn around and bow before continuing forward.
Compared with the previous departure from Jianning, Li Hui's men and horses were naturally very different. Now, in addition to some remnants of the headquarters that were originally under direct jurisdiction, there were 300 soldiers and some food and grass specially allocated by Liu Bei.
Li Hui felt a little desolate in his heart, but soon regained hope.
At least people are still there.
In any case, Li's business in Jianning for so many years still has some foundation. As long as it operates well and regains at least one or two county towns, it will not be completely lost, it can only be said to be a temporary defeat.
, which can more or less avoid the crime of beheading.
Maybe.
Li Hui couldn't help but look back again. Liu Bei's figure had been obscured by the mountains and woods and could not be seen.
Is Liu Bei really so benevolent?
Could it be that I misjudged him before?
The cold wind whistled over the mountain forest, seeming to give Li Hui an answer, and seemed to be mocking Li Hui. But at the moment, Li Hui could only hold on to the straw in his hand, because this was also his
The only hope.
……ˉ\\_(ツ)_/ˉ……
The cold wind howled.
Liu Fan's front troops have gradually approached Jianning.
With the guidance of the guide specially sent by Shi Xie, the journey was naturally much more convenient.
But for Liu Fan, there was still some doubt in his heart.
Is Shixie really that kind?
Could it be that I misjudged him before?
Liu Fan chuckled twice and shook his head. Shi Xie was still an old fox, and there could be no sudden changes in this. Therefore, this incident of Jian Ning was just Shi Xie's attempt to push Liu Fan into the
It's just going ahead, but for Liu Fan, it seems to be a good choice. After all, fighting with Shi Xie in Jiaozhou, at most he is just the next Shi Xie, and he is still excluded from the Central China.
Since the fourth brother failed to hold on to the inheritance left by his father, then...
When Liu Fan thought about this, his heart couldn't help but become as gloomy as the sky. He couldn't understand it then, and he still can't understand it now, why his father Liu Yan would rather leave his inheritance to his fourth brother?
Could it be said that the youngest son should be given all the love as a matter of course, and then the eldest son should deserve to work everywhere?
Father, you are so partial!
If you have a soul in heaven, take a good look at how your beloved fourth brother has ruined your inheritance!
If you really have a soul in heaven, take a good look at how I regain the foundation of the Liu family!
General Hussar is nothing more than luck. When he was in Chang'an, Luoyang, he didn't see how special this guy was! What's more, the general Hussar relied on to make his fortune was just the cavalry of the North.
That's all, and in mountainous areas like Sichuan and Shu, how many cavalry can be used?
As long as we plan and coordinate with these people in Jianning Land, Sichuan and Shu will still have great potential!
When the time comes to seize the sword pavilion and seal the golden ox and rice warehouse, even if the hussar general has many powerful cavalry, what can he do?
Ha ha ha ha!
Liu Fan thought about it, couldn't help but chuckle, and then ordered the soldiers to speed up and rush to Jianning!
……(^з^)-☆……
Yong Kai pondered, sitting like a mountain of meat.
Yong Kai is very fat, as fat as a fat pig, but not all fat people are generous, just like not all thin people are born with anxiety.
Fat people like winter because they can sweat less in winter.
But in a place like Jianning, you will sweat at every turn, and even the sour smell lingers all day long. It is not only the case for you, but also for the servants. No one has even entered the room, and there is a strong smell.
The sour and stinky smell of sweat will come to you.
Yong thought that he had been a minister of several generations back then, and had been a powerful figure in Guanzhong. The things he used were all first-class fine items, and the clothes he wore were all the most expensive silk brocades. How like now...
Yong Kai took a long breath, but smelled a sour smell.
"Damn it!" Yong Kai cursed angrily.
Coincidentally, Gao Ding turned around from the side and couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, "Ah, huh?"
Yong Kai rolled his eyes on his fat face and said, "Damn it, there are only three thousand people, and they are still holding back! They are all a bunch of heartless cowards!"
Gao Ding came over and said, "You can't say that. After all, these people have fought with the generals and know how powerful they are, so it's normal to be a little timid. After defeating this general's troops, they will feel more courageous."
I got up naturally..."
Yong Kai still clapped his hands and cursed: "No wonder people in central Sichuan look down on us from southern Sichuan, we are all from here! We come up to distribute things faster than anyone else, and when we discuss the matter of marching, this one has a stomachache and the other has a head."
It hurts, and some people say that their mother-in-law is going to give birth to a baby, and they are so upset... Damn it! Why didn't they just say that it was him who was going to give birth to a baby?!"
Gao Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yes, he is the leader of the Yi people alliance, but it does not mean that he has the power of life and death immediately. Just like Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance against Dong, it is impossible to immediately twist the princes under him into a rope. Everything is just a matter of force.
In the beginning, although many Yi people joined in, most of them thought they would occupy a pit first and then see the situation. It did not mean that they would be stupid enough to commit all the men, women, old and young in the village to fight to the death.
Therefore, Gao Ding could only shake his head and smile bitterly when Yong Kai made such complaints.
"Okay, this is what you and I have to say..." Gao Ding waved his hand, thinking that Yong Kai is a straightforward guy, so he doesn't know how to hide his emotions, so it's normal, "Our problem now is
,Under such circumstances, should we fight first?』
Gao Ding was a little hesitant. After all, things like centripetal force are not just words. You have to come up with something decent. But if you want to directly send your army to the north now, what is the chance of winning? Gao Ding is not 100%.
I am sure. After all, the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is conducive to defense but not offensive.
If they win, it will be great, but once they lose, they may collapse like a sand tower in an instant. Now, relying on the momentum gathered by various tribes, they can still hold on to the situation.
Although Jianning's territory is not very small, it does not have many county towns. Therefore, when Yong Kai raised his troops before, there were already arrangements, so it was not too difficult to coordinate the inside and outside. However, from south to north of Sichuan, it was separated from Yong Kai.
If the scope of Kai's power is limited, then a real attack is needed, and there can no longer be any tricks.
But if we really want to storm Wei Yan's camp, to be honest, is this a problem...
Wei Yan was a leader among the younger generation under General Hussar. When General Hussar marched into Sichuan, not to mention all, at least half of the battles were fought by Wei Yan. He was brave and diligent, and was even familiar with mountain and forest warfare.
It is indeed a rather large and weighty roadblock.
"Why don't we wait for that Jiaozhou governor to come and discuss it together?" Yong Kai said, "Counting the time, it's almost here..."
Gao Ding frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's too slow...I'm afraid that if time passes, the people in northern Sichuan will notice the problem, and they still have to do something..."
Yong Kai nodded, pretending to understand on the face, but in fact his heart was open-minded. After Gao Ding was pulled into the position of leader of the alliance, he tasted the sweetness, and thought about continuing it for a long time, or even expanding his influence, so
Naturally, it is impossible to completely cede the limelight to the so-called "outsiders" who come later.
That's why Haute Couture is anxious to make something, as long as it has some achievements...
"Liu Jiaozhou led his troops to the north just to fight against the Hussars General in Chengdu! It would be good to wait for Liu Jiaozhou to march together, but the personnel would be complicated and difficult to command!" Gao Ding said in a deep voice, "
And now these scumbags we have on hand are originally not worth mentioning. They can’t go with us barbarians. At most, they can only help us out. If we really expect these scumbags to do anything, I’m afraid it’s hard to do anything!”
"So, we must find another way! First find an opportunity, first gather the people in our hands, and first decide who are the elites and who are the auxiliaries, otherwise we will not be able to distinguish them clearly.
, there will definitely be a big problem!" Gao Ding frowned and said.
Yong Kai also agreed, "This is indeed a problem." Naturally, everyone wants to get something for free. Maybe one, two, three will come up, and this and that will definitely happen.
"How about..." Yong Kai said, "Lure General Hussar's soldiers out and lay an ambush?"
"How to ambush?" Gao Ding asked.
In fact, military strategies are simple and simple. From ancient times to the present, they have been ambushes, forming a local advantage of using more to attack less, and then expanding the victory. Even in the era of hot weapons, there have not been many changes, but how to implement it is a test for the commander-in-chief.
ability.
The two of them sat, you looked at me and I looked at you, but neither of them spoke for a while.
"Forget it, let's find another way..." Gao Ding waved his hand and said, "I think we can send more people out to find some trails that we don't usually take, and see if we can go around to the back... If we can find some
Opportunity... Haha, after all, no matter how powerful the Cavalry General's people are, they still need to eat, right? If we burn the food and grass once or twice... I'm afraid these people will have to retreat even if they are not in chaos!』
Yong Kai put his palms together and praised: "You are worthy of being the king of the barbarians! This is so good! On the one hand, you can check the strength of the cavalry and the horses, and on the other hand, you can also give full play to the strengths of us barbarians. Even if we really can't do anything,
At least we have surveyed the terrain first, so that we can be more confident when the subsequent coalition forces move north! Good!』
Gao Ding smiled slightly.
Yong Kai thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said quickly: "I will make arrangements right away! Select the elite! Elite!"
Selecting the "elite" is secondary. What is more important is not only determining the level of loot distribution in the future, but more importantly, using this matter to enhance the reputation of haute couture. After all, no matter what it is, someone needs to be praised and praised in order to start from below.
Floating upward...
However, neither Haoding nor Yong Kai expected that things would develop far beyond their plans...
