After a long silence, Fazheng raised his head, looked at Liu Xie with a serious expression and said: "Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Han family, Fa Zheng naturally loves the imperial court. But now the world is in a flood, and the country is on the verge of overturning. If you want to
Regrouping again, I’ll say it bluntly, it’s difficult, difficult, difficult.”
When Fazheng said this, his heart was actually filled with despair. The blood in his chest surged to the top of his forehead. He knew that these words were inappropriate and might anger the emperor around him. And at such a distance, if Lu Bu wanted to kill him, he probably couldn't.
Made a sound.
But what was waiting for him was not an angry look. Lu Bu was drinking alone without even looking at him.
But I heard Liu Xie laughing and saying: "What Mr. Xiaozhi said is true. An adult once told me that this world is no longer the world of my Liu family. There is no need to regroup. And I, the emperor, do not
It has long become a joke in the eyes of people all over the world. Therefore, now I am not Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, I am just Liu Xie."
An emperor, whether he is a puppet or not, his identity is displayed here. Being able to say such words, as well as his unpretentious eyes, this state of mind and broadness did not make Fazheng feel admired, but made him feel fearful.
An emperor who has completely put down his face and no longer cares can be absolutely terrifying. This kind of mentality and great wisdom is not a posture of trying to hide from the world or follow the crowd. This will set off a huge wave of blood!
Sure enough, Liu Xie continued: "Now I am not an emperor, I am just a hunter who wants to compete for deer in the world. I have in my hand the sharpest deer-cutting knife in the world given by God, so whoever blocks my way, I will
The knife inside can not only cut off deer, but also cut off human heads. For example, take your lord, Mr. Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou. Do you think he is willing to let me cut off his head?"
Fazheng naturally understood that the deer-cutting knife in Liu Xie's mouth refers to the eight thousand warriors under Lu Bu, but this can't be "the sharpest in the world", right? In Xiapi years ago, weren't these warriors beaten to death by Cao Cao?
Running around like a dog?
Everyone here could see it clearly. Even if Fazheng's eyes only flickered slightly, they knew that Fazheng must have contempt for Liu Xie's deer-cutting knife in his mind. But this is not important.
It will take a long time, but the facts will gradually make Fa Zheng understand that the words "the sharpest in the world" are not the key point of Liu Xie's words, but "god-given" is. And not a word is exaggerated.
Chen Gong did not explain, but continued: "Brother Xiaozhi. Brother Xiaozhi must know what kind of person Liu Zhang is. How did you live under his hands? Have you ever smoothed the gap in your chest?
Under such a general trend of the world, it is not difficult to predict Liu Zhang's future fate based on Brother Xiaozhi's ability, right? Do you really want to follow Liu Zhang's broken ship and sink? Or are you waiting to be kicked to the ground and become a humble general?
Don’t you want to uphold the same belief as your ancestors and rebuild a great cause on this broken mountain and river?”
Fazheng also looked solemn. No matter what the current situation was, Liu Xie was still the orthodox emperor of the Han family. He personally recruited him and personally poured him wine several times. He had to be cautious about this courtesy. This was because he looked up to him.
Fa Zheng, give him great face.
Now that Chen Gong has made it clear, there is no room for him to think what he wants.
"Your Majesty, Brother Gongtai, General Lu. What Fazheng has learned in his heart is naturally to help the world. However, the general trend is like this, so there is nothing to do. Now we are trapped in a small military council, and the high-level decision-making has never been involved. I thought
Once the situation went wrong, he retired to the mountains and lived alone. He never expected to be appreciated by His Majesty. Fa Zheng was embarrassed.
But that’s it for now. Fa Zheng is bold enough to ask Your Majesty, if Fa Zheng is congenial, can Fa Zheng be trusted?”
Liu Xie smiled and without saying anything, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, stretched out his left arm, and slashed his forearm with a knife. The cut was three inches long, and scarlet blood flowed out. Then he stretched his arm to Fazheng, and the dagger in his right hand also
They handed it over together.
Fazheng reached out tremblingly and took the dagger handed by Liu Xie. His eyes were red, and he also showed his left arm. Like Liu Xie, he cut his forearm with the knife.
The two of them each held each other's forearm, the wound facing the wound. It seemed that an unspeakable sense of trust instantly appeared in their hearts, and it seemed unbreakable.
"Hahaha! Okay! With Mr. Xiaozhi's help, wouldn't it be a child's play to take over the world?" Liu Xie laughed loudly and stood up. His voice echoed throughout the tavern.
Liu Xie's move was inappropriate because this was Chengdu. But Fazheng quickly discovered that the diners around him were unmoved and continued to drink and eat meat. They seemed to be deaf.
He thought to himself: It turns out they are all His Majesty’s people!
Sitting down again, Fazheng found that everyone, including Lu Bu, looked at him softly. He was on his own.
"Your Majesty, do you have any plans at the moment?" Fazheng got to the point. He didn't want to waste time. The treatment Liu Zhang gave him couldn't keep him loyal at all. Now that he has become Liu Xie's retainer, what else can he do?
Are you polite? Even if you want to help Liu Xie plan how to devour Liu Zhang's family fortune. At the same time, you can also find out whether the "deer-cutting knife" in Liu Xie's hand is really sharp.
Liu Xie smiled and looked at Chen Gong beside him. The latter said: "Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, Xinggu line to the south. This is what we want to cut from Liu Zhang when the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao begins.
The first piece of meat.”
Fazheng was shocked. He looked at Chen Gong with a natural expression on his face in disbelief. With just these two words, he wanted to swallow up one-third of the territory in Liu Zhang's hands with one strike of the knife? This really made Liu Zhang feel like a piece of clay.
Already?
"Brother Gongtai! Although Liu Zhang doesn't have many strong generals, he does have a lot of soldiers. In Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning and Xinggu, there are more than 8,000 permanent troops. Moreover, there are many mountains in that area, making marching difficult.
.I’m afraid the gains outweigh the losses.”
Chen Gong nodded, but still said: "What Xiaozhi said is true. However, although it is difficult to attack the territory between these mountains, it is also difficult to rescue. In the meantime, we can have more room to make plans. In fact, Brother Xiaozhi must have
It’s because we don’t know much about the strength we have. From our point of view, the mere 10,000 people Liu Zhang placed there are just chickens and dogs. You can just ask General Lu.”
Fazheng looked at Lu Bu in confusion after hearing this. The latter drank wine and uttered four words: "One drum can break it."
None of the people present were charlatans. If they looked down upon Liu Zhang like this again and again, they must be sure of victory. Fazheng was very curious.
Liu Xie said with a smile: "We currently have 10,000 soldiers who have been trained by General Lu and put into regular order. The rest are all farmers and soldiers. If we really work together, we can recruit 20,000 soldiers in a short time."
It’s still guaranteed.”
Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment. What does this mean? Why can't he understand?
Seeing Fazheng's appearance, Chen Gong laughed loudly and said three words, which made Fazheng jump up with his eyes widened.
