Liu Bei had never thought that he would be so miserable.
Even if he died of illness in Baidi City in his previous life, he had so many talented people under his command that thousands of people died.
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, Five Tiger Generals, Youlin Fazheng...
Even if he died of illness, there would be descendants who would inherit his legacy and he would die without regrets.
But now, after advent.
The big-eared Uncle Liu had secretly cried many times at night.
The dignified founder of the Shu Han Dynasty now has only one Guan Yu to follow him. This is really sad for those who hear it, and shed tears for those who see it!
And not only the generals, but also the civil servants, including Wolong and Phoenix, all left him.
Although Fazheng is strong, he still misses the days when Zhuge Liang existed.
Every time he thought of this, Liu Bei would secretly feel sad and cry alone.
"Brother."
Guan Yu behind him looked at Liu Bei with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly persuaded him: "I heard that Prime Minister Zhuge, Zilong and Han Sheng are all in the Tianqi Empire. We just need to rescue them!"
"When the time comes to find our third brother, we three brothers will be reunited again!"
In his heart, it should be the evil Lord of the Apocalypse Empire who oppressed Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun.
So his mission is to rescue them from Cheng Mu.
As for Zhang Fei, I heard from You Xia that someone also coerced his third brother Zhang Fei. He would also go to rescue him in the future.
"Well, second brother, you are still loyal!"
Liu Bei burst into tears. Fortunately, Yang Jian was kind and willing to give him a chance to cry.
He didn't live on the streets and be killed as a bandit.
In fact, it was because he was weak and had to bow his head under the roof. If he had the peak strength of Shu Han under his command at this time, he would immediately ascend the throne as emperor!
And Yang Jian was thinking the same thing at the time.
Instead of having a face-to-face fight with Liu Bei, it would be a waste of strength.
It is better to take Liu Bei under his command and be able to control him in the future.
And now, isn't it time to drive Liu Bei away?
In fact, there was no need for Yang Jian to give the order personally. When he learned that Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others were in the Apocalypse Empire, Liu Bei would naturally take the initiative to invite him to fight.
You see, there is no need to use the strength of the Apocalypse Empire as an excuse.
Liu Bei was sent out to fight with the slogan of brotherly unity and rescuing brothers from dire straits.
if.
What Yang Jian thought about was what if, once Liu Bei failed.
Then he can still say that this is something Liu Bei did. What does it have to do with Yang Jian and the Sui Empire?
Those in power have to be prepared on both sides. Of course, there are more than two levels of his deep meaning. It depends on whether Liu Bei can understand it.
Now in the north of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Barbarian King Ran Min was eyeing him, and would invade a city from time to time.
Therefore, the current situation of the Sui Empire is not as peaceful as it seems.
"Second brother."
But at this time, Liu Bei still encountered difficulties.
"Where should we go to the Apocalypse Empire?"
Yang Jian's order was conveyed, but Yang Jian didn't say how to get there? Which way should we take?
You must know that although the Sui Empire is adjacent to the Apocalypse Empire, there is a God-given mountain range like a natural moat in the middle.
Although there are narrow passages in the mountains, large-scale marches are not possible.
If you want to lead an army to attack the Apocalypse Empire, you can only borrow a road from the Song and Liao Empire in the south. Or you can borrow a road from the Jin Dynasty in the north to attack the Mingzhou Province that the Apocalypse Empire has just conquered.
But now it seems that no matter which path it is, it is not the best choice.
Going from the south, you have to break through the double defense lines of Liao and Song. But the advantage is that there are also troops from the Tang Dynasty to support you.
If we borrow the road from the north, the first hurdle is to break through the obstruction of the Barbarian King Ran Min.
Seeing this, Liu Bei suddenly realized something.
"This Yang Jian wants me to clear the way for him!"
Whether fighting the Song and Liao Empire or starting a war with Ran Min, this will be a tough battle.
Now he only has a million-strong army under his command. After the tough battle, Liu Bei will be completely finished.
"Lord, we have no choice!"
Behind him, Fazheng said: "Then Yang Jian has begun to fear our strength."
"In this battle, we might as well take the opportunity to enter the Jin Dynasty."
"At that time, we will decide whether to rescue Prime Minister Zhuge, Zilong and the others first."
Some things cannot withstand scrutiny. As long as you think deeply, you will find the problem.
It is true that Yang Jian wants to join forces to attack the Apocalypse Empire, but he has more than just this in mind.
If we can use this to reduce Liu Bei's strength and destroy Ran Min, who is eyeing him from the north, we can even bring down the Apocalypse Empire.
So this plan is killing three birds with one stone!
"Xiao Nao, what about us?"
Hearing Fazheng's words, Liu Bei was about to cry again. He found that he was really getting worse and worse, and the worse he got, the worse he got.
But he still couldn't make up his mind.
In the north, there were ferocious and invincible barbarians. He would rather go south to the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty than fight against the barbarians who drank Maoru's blood.
"I heard that the Song Dynasty is going to unite with the Apocalypse Empire, then they are also our enemies!"
"We can destroy the Liao Kingdom first, gain a firm foothold, and then plan for it slowly!"
Although Liu Bei was extremely benevolent, his biggest shortcoming was his cowardice.
He would rather go to war with the entire Liao Dynasty than lose all his soldiers to the barbarians in the north.
"It just so happened that the Liao Kingdom and the Song Kingdom had just experienced a war, and their strength was greatly reduced."
"This is our perfect opportunity!"
When he said this, Liu Bei couldn't hold back his excitement. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked happy.
You see, in the end, it wasn't Liu Bei's wisdom and martial arts that found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation?
"Then...then just follow what the lord said!"
Seeing Liu Bei who was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, although Fa Zheng had a thousand words in his heart, he still did not persuade him any more.
It is enough for your lord to have a moment of high fighting spirit.
The rest is not important!
Song Empire.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was withdrawing its troops, Zhao Kuangyin issued a pursuit order.
As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, he still had some backbone. It was just that many of his ministers were weak and his soldiers were weak, which resulted in the current weak situation of the Song Dynasty.
But beating him into the water, adding insult to injury, and pursuing and fighting, the ministers of the Song Dynasty all agreed with them.
After being bullied by Li Shimin for so long, I still feel bad!
"See Your Majesty!"
Xin Qiji is back. In front of Zhao Kuangyin, his attitude is much more humble.
"Oh? You'an is back."
Seeing Xin Qiji's return, Zhao Kuangyin looked happy and couldn't wait to ask: "Has the Tianqi Empire agreed to our request?"
In fact, he had no choice.
The Song Dynasty was originally weak. After being pinned to the ground and beaten by the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, the entire country needed time to recover.
Alliance with the Apocalypse Empire is a last resort.
"Your Majesty, the Apocalypse Empire has agreed."
Xin Qiji reported: "The Lord of the Apocalypse Empire has asked me to say hello to Your Majesty."
He was extremely satisfied with Cheng Mu's attitude. Therefore, he accepted the extremely unequal conditions in his heart.
"well!"
After receiving Xin Qiji's affirmative reply, Zhao Kuangyin showed a look of relief on his face.
In the past two years, he has been fighting Datang under tremendous pressure.
During this period, countless ministers proposed spending money to eliminate disasters and making alliances with pro-government, but he rejected them all.
Because he knew Li Shimin's ambition.
But now, everything is different.
Yue Fei, Yang Ye and others gave him confidence, and they also reused Wen Tianxiang, Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan and others.
Now the main war faction has become a powerful force in the Song Dynasty court.
It was at this time that Zhao Kuangyin decided to stand up. As long as he was given a few more years to develop, he would regain his strength.
At that time, what will be presented to the world will be a brand new and powerful Song Empire!
But not long after the smile appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's face, he received an urgent message from Babaili.
"Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom is asking for help."
"Liu Bei of the Sui Empire has led his army to invade Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom. Zhongjing is in danger!"
Liu Bei's actions were too fast. Before Yelu Abaoji could react, Guan Yu led a million troops and rushed to the foot of Shangjing City.
In less than a day, Shangjing was captured.
If Yelu Abaoji had not made Zhongjing his capital in this life, Daliao would have been doomed by now!
"What!"
The sudden bad news made the smile on Zhao Kuangyin's face stop abruptly.
What do you mean, Yang Jian? You haven't participated in the war for so long, and you suddenly took action when your own domestic war was about to end.
Could it be that this is a wheel battle?
"Your Majesty! I am requesting to go to war!"
It was at this time that Xin Qiji caught him.
He doesn't want to be a civil servant all his life, which can be seen from the warrior's hair crown on his head.
His ambition is to charge into battle and kill enemies for the country!
"well."
Zhao Kuangyin could only nod in agreement at this time.
His Song Dynasty now has a bitter relationship with Liao Dynasty. He knew that once the Liao Kingdom fell, his Song Dynasty would be the next to suffer.
In this case, it is better to limit the war to the land of Liao Kingdom.
"Send a message to Xixia and ask them to send troops as well."
Then, he hurriedly gave instructions: "As long as Yuan Hao sends an army, the Song Dynasty will pay for the military expenses and food!"
The three countries were originally a brotherly alliance. Now that the Liao Kingdom is in trouble, the rich must contribute money and the powerful must contribute.
Although the Song Dynasty did not have many troops, it had enough food and military expenditures!
"Pass my order! Recruit 10 million troops across the country to form a new ranger army!"
If you want peaceful development, you have to fight for it yourself. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin made up his mind.
Although the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were weak, they had excellent weapons and equipment and excellent military equipment.
The corpses had surrounded the entire city three times inside and three times outside.
In this week, Li Shimin killed another two million soldiers here.
Now the entire world is filled with the strong smell of corpses, and various diseases and plagues are rampant.
But even so, Guilin Fucheng is like an indestructible nail nailed here, no matter how hard Li Shimin attacks, he can't break it.
Ever since, he went crazy.
At this time, he still has three million rangers under his command, but he wants to completely invade the entire Guangxi when reinforcements from the Apocalypse Empire arrive.
"Either you occupy Guilin City, or you die there!"
He gave the order to die.
All ten of the strongest men went into battle, and an army of three million rangers made a desperate move.
The purpose is to raze this obstructive Guilin city to the ground!
