Everyone didn't find it strange that Cheng Dalei said this. After all, judging from his usual behavior, we could almost guess what he was thinking.
"If we start the war lightly, our army is not sure of victory." Liu Bei said: "The idea of the leader may not be wrong."
Cheng Dalei nodded seriously, grateful for Liu Bei's approval.
"It's just..." Liu Bei changed the topic: "The boss really thinks that Li Xingzai is someone with whom we can share wealth and honor?"
Cheng Dalei was stunned. Faced with Liu Bei's question, he was speechless.
Cheng Dalei knew Li Xingzai well. He was born in a royal family, but he was able to detach himself from the outside world. He was an extraordinary person. But now it was a matter of competing for the world. Some people could share hardships, but they may not be able to share wealth and honor.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and the most unpredictable thing is. Not to mention that Li Xingzai has the qualifications to aspire to the world. As the leader, is the Li Xingzai of today still the Li Xingzai of the past? There are some things in this world that can be compromised, but there are some things that cannot be compromised. Not to mention that most of our brothers are lawless.
For those of us who are disobedient to discipline, can Li Xingzai really tolerate us in the future? As a master, you can not think about yourself, but you have to think about your brothers?"
Liu Bei's words were so eloquent that they really couldn't be said to be unreasonable. However, they were too reasonable and forced Cheng Dalei into a dilemma.
Do you really want to have a fight with Li Xingzai?
If the two armies were to form an array, Cheng Dalei might not have no chance of winning. But Cheng Dalei was tired of this troubled world and just wanted to end it as soon as possible and did not want to stir up another war.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely fight for a future for my brothers."
"And now..." Cheng Dalei changed the topic: "Our enemy is the Rong tribe, and it is too early to talk about these things."
Cheng Dalei blocked everyone's words again. Looking at the expressions on his face, Liu Bei and others knew that it was useless to say anything, so they sighed and left.
Cheng Dalei was left alone in the hall, with an expression on his face that was far from happy. He was dumbfounded, thinking about something in his mind.
Liu Bei and others could be blocked back, but Cheng Dalei could not escape the questioning in his heart. There should be an answer to this question.
That supreme dragon chair has been pursued by countless people, including Lin Shaoyu, Cui Xiang, Yuchi Li, Li Letian, Nohara Huo... all the princes in the world, no one does not covet it.
However, Cheng Dalei had no interest in that chair. It's not that he didn't yearn for power, but Cheng Dalei knew that the greater the power, the heavier the burden on his shoulders.
He had contact with two emperors successively, Emperor Ming before him, and Li Letian after him. These two people were hardworking, but their lives were not happy. Comparing their feelings, if Cheng Dalei were put in their position, Cheng Dalei would really be unhappy.
Very willing.
Even though he is just the lord of Liangzhou now, Cheng Dalei already feels that everything is entangled with him. There are powerful enemies outside, and people like Liu Bei and others inside may not have their own ideas. It is not easy to twist the ideas of tens of thousands of people together for his own use.
Power is naturally desirable, but while controlling power, it is inevitable that one will also be controlled by power.
Is the person sitting in that chair still the same person?
The thought of sitting on that chair one day and living a step-by-step life gave Cheng Dalei a headache. In contrast, he was more willing to be a carefree mountain king.
In this case, all we have to do is find a future for our brothers.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei more or less had an idea in his mind, and he also had a general direction for the problem that had troubled him for a long time.
…
But he said that Jiangnan was at this time.
Song Youqu slept in the open air and returned to Yangzhou City, bringing Cheng Dalei's words to Li Xingzai intact.
Li Xingzai is half happy and half worried now. He is happy that Cheng Dalei is willing to cooperate and he is more sure of the future situation. What is worrying is that Cheng Dalei has never said what he wants, so Li Xingzai cannot figure out his intentions.
Cheng Dalei is now undecided, and so is Li Xingzai. They both have the same intention, and neither of them want to fight with each other. From the bottom of his heart, Li Xingzai doesn't want to fight Cheng Dalei.
It's just that Li Xingzai is more greedy than Cheng Dalei. He is determined to get that chair. If Cheng Dalei dares to fight, he doesn't mind starting a battle. This is his bottom line, and everything else can be discussed.
Cheng Dalei hasn't spoken yet, so everything will have to be settled later.
There is another thing that worries Li Xingzai currently, and that is the everlasting embers of Nohara Fire.
Li Xingzai thought that Nohara Huo was certain to die, and Li Xingzai was still a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared, and Li Xingzai suddenly became angry.
Anger mixed with a bit of fear.
Two armies, Ma Mengqi and Hua Mulan, were sent to pursue and intercept him, but they still haven't succeeded yet, which really troubled Li Xingzai.
Who knows whether this wild fire is real or fake.
At this moment, Nohara Huo had gathered around three thousand men. They could survive for such a long time not because they were strong, but precisely because they were weak enough that they were not easily discovered.
Of course, the two teams of Ma Mengqi and Hua Mulan also put a lot of pressure on them. The commander of this team was checking the nearby terrain map in the tent, thinking about the next march direction.
His eyes were clear, and he stared at the battle map in front of him meticulously, his brows furrowed in thought.
This is naturally not Nohara Huo, but a name that Li Xingzai has long ignored.
He used to be called Hongchen, but now his name is Hongliao.
After Li Xing in Jiangnan was defeated and buried, one of Li Xing's generals, Hongchen, abandoned his helmet and armor, but he survived by luck.
He recovered from his injuries in the mountains for a while, and when he was born again, he learned about the defeat of Nohara Huo.
After making a preliminary assessment of the situation at hand, Hongchenliao took some actions. Under the guise of Ye Yuanhuo, he gathered the remaining Rong people and openly confronted Li Xingzai.
Of course he knew in his heart that this trick would fool him for a while, but it would not last long, and sooner or later it would be exposed one day.
However, I have no illusions about reversing the current situation, but I can't kill you, and I can make you sick.
He pretended that Nohara Huo was currently recuperating in a secret place and that he was the spokesperson of Nohara Huo. In fact, he gathered a group of people like a snowball.
Now that Jiangnan has been controlled by Li Xingzai, it is no longer a place to stay for a long time. His first task is to cross the river, and then use the name of Nohara Huo to deceive him.
Although this matter is very difficult, it does not necessarily mean there is no room for maneuver.
He has not forgotten the hatred that Li Xingzai had when he had no choice but to do something for Li Xingzai. Naturally, he would never tire of it as long as he could do something for Li Xingzai.
Thinking of this, the expression on Hong Chen's face was a bit ferocious: It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai, the general situation of the world is uncertain, and it would be too early for you to be happy.
