Three Kingdoms

The night is desolate.

The wind is panicking.

If there are some egg shells that can be blown again, it will be very good and suitable for the occasion.

The three Liu Bei brothers were sitting and lying in the same tent, speechless for a while.

The bonfire in the tent has been extinguished, leaving only a torch stuck on a small wooden stick and standing in the corner of the tent, which somewhat separated Liu Bei and the others from the darkness.

Guan Yu tied up his hands and feet and was lying on the couch. There was faint blood in the white cloth around his hands and feet. The smell of blood smelled like a single dog. Bah, the fragrance of herbs. Although his expression was a little sluggish, Perhaps it was because the treatment was relatively timely, so no complications have been found so far. However, if Guan Yu wants to recover from such an injury, he will need to rest for at least a few months.

"Second brother..." Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was not sleeping, so he leaned over and asked softly, "Are you feeling sick? Do you want some water?"

Guan Yu shook his head silently and sighed softly: "It's okay... I just feel a little aggrieved..."

"Ouch..." Zhang Fei couldn't hold it in anymore and lowered his voice and roared, "This little thief from Zhengxi lies and deceives! He is so angry!"

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei pursed his lips and turned away.

Zhang Fei really couldn't hold it in anymore, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly when he called Gui Ming, because Zhang Fei knew that the first person to be deceived was Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was seriously injured. If he shouted loudly, It would be even worse if Guan Yu had an emotional breakdown and his injuries collapsed.

The three Liu Bei brothers are not fools. When they were separated, they could be deceived by Fei Qian one by one. When they got together, they naturally exposed Fei Qian's previous strategy. While they were glad that their brothers were not in trouble, they also It's inevitable that there will be a lot more anger. But of this anger, six points are due to defeat, three points are due to confusion about the future, and the remaining one point is due to the anger of being deceived...

Liu Bei gently held Guan Yu's hand, glared at Zhang Fei again, and comforted Guan Yu with warm words: "Second brother, third brother, you and I are brothers. In this case, how can we abandon brothers lightly? What's more... Zhengxi It’s not too much, we still have Danyang soldiers left for the three of us..."

"Did you retain Danyang soldiers?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately diverted by Liu Bei and asked in unison.

Liu Bei nodded, remembering how he followed Fei Qian around the barracks during the day. He blinked a few times and sighed slightly: "You and I, brothers, were not defeated unjustly... Zhengxi, this person, is profound. Unpredictable... Second brother, third brother, not to mention the Sichuan and Shu soldiers... The Dongzhou soldiers have been in our hands for at least a year, right? In the end, they were in the hands of Zhengxi. After only two or three nights, most of them returned... …It’s true, it’s true… Alas, if Zheng Xi hadn’t shown some kindness, I’m afraid the Danyang soldiers would have also…”

"What?!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened.

"Conquer the west with Sichuan and Shu to lead Sichuan and Shu, use Jingxiang to be close to Jingxiang, and use Guanzhong to capture Dongzhou..." Liu Bei said slowly, "Task his spirit with trivial matters, calm his mind with food and clothing, and induce his wishes with meritorious deeds... …Now, among the three armies of Sichuan, Shu, Jingxiang, and Dongzhou, seven to eight out of ten have put aside their past grievances. I don’t know whether you or I, brothers, can only conquer the west..."

Guan Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Guan Yu was also a person who specialized in military training for a long time. Naturally, he knew in his heart that for these soldiers who were transferred from farmers, their minds were dull. Sometimes they could not understand people's words without using sticks and whips. However, for this group of people, Liu Bei actually said that most of these people had returned to Zhengxi, which made Guan Yu inexplicable.

"These evil-hearted guys! Their consciences have been eaten by maggots!" Zhang Fei muttered dissatisfied, "Thank you for treating them so well! What a waste of my kindness!"

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei but said nothing. Zhang Fei's so-called kindness came with a whip. In Zhang Fei's eyes, if the soldiers disobey, they will be beaten. If they are beaten, they will be obedient. Therefore, unless he wants to make a bad face, Liu Bei will generally not let Zhang Fei come forward. Training soldiers...

Regardless of whether Zhang Fei's kindness is sincere or not, Liu Bei was amazed at the speed at which he gathered soldiers from Zhengxi. At the same time, while he and Fei Qian were wandering around the barracks, Liu Bei also had a few points. He did not express his feelings directly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Because even if I say it, it’s useless.

Fei Qian was using this method to explain to Liu Bei that Zhengxi was more suitable than Liu Bei and more popular with these soldiers. He was also trying to tell Liu Bei to calm down...

However, although Liu Bei vaguely knew the intention of conquering the West, he was not convinced.

"Ha, after all, Zhengxi still left Danyang soldiers behind, saying that they will still belong to you and my brothers..." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Second brother, don't think too much, now, take good care of your injuries, and wait for them to recover. Only then can we make a difference..."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, second brother needs to take good care of his injuries. Tell me what you want to eat. I, Old Zhang, will go hunting some animals in the mountains outside the camp tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu sighed slightly, nodded, then lay down again and closed his eyes.

Liu Bei comforted Zhang Fei again and drove Zhang Fei to sleep. Then he returned to the bed next to him and lay down. He turned sideways and covered himself with the quilt. The gentleness on his face slowly faded in the darkness. It's getting colder. The Danyang soldiers left behind in the expedition to the west are indeed somewhat worthy of joy, but only a little, because the Danyang soldiers are already in disrepair and there are not many left...

Another very important point is that if there are only three of them, if they really want to escape after Guan Yu recovers from his injury, Fei Potential can guard against it for a day, but not for a year. But now that there are more Danyang soldiers and even some wounded soldiers, it is not so light and easy to leave.

I want to keep the food and salary for these years and months...

If you don't look for Zhengxi, where can you get it?

And when looking for Zheng Xi, after reaching out again and again, how long can I maintain the ambition and arrogance in my heart?

These Danyang soldiers looked like they were being cared for by Zheng Xi, but why weren't they just shackled?

It's a pity that I have to willingly take it and put it on myself...

Zhengxi, Zhengxi...

Liu Bei huddled in the shadows on the bed, eyes open and frowning. Seeing that I had climbed over the threshold of not being confused, I was quickly heading towards knowing my destiny. My body seemed to be aging faster. Will the ambition in my heart be realized one day?

Where does the glory of the Han family lie?

The world is so big, is there really no place where my three brothers can settle down?

Unknowingly, Liu Bei felt that the corners of his eyes were a little warm, but soon turned cold. He quickly wiped them gently with his sleeves, exhaled slowly, and closed his eyes silently.

The night is desolate.

Terrified.

There seemed to be some sparse sounds above the tent. After a while, the soldiers on duty in the camp exclaimed: "Ah ha! It's snow! It's snowing, it's snowing..."

…………………………………………

Anhan.

The sky was overcast.

Yi Ji was wearing a samurai uniform with narrow cuffs. He was holding a sword in one hand and wielding a long sword in the other hand. He was orderly and solemn, and he seemed to have some masterly style.

Most of the scholars in the Han Dynasty were proficient in two-handed martial arts. No matter how bad they were, they could pick up a bow and shoot for several rounds. As long as they were not like Guo Jia, who took drugs every day, their martial arts value could be in the fifties or sixties. Basically, they were all normal range.

Yiji followed Liu Qi to Badong, but met Kuai Qi, who had a strong desire for power. Well, in other words, the three brothers of the Kuai family are all about the same. Perhaps only the eldest brother of the Kuai family is a little more stable, and the second and third brothers are both. Somewhat striving for power.

As an old man who has followed Liu Biao for many years, Yi Ji is not willing to quarrel with Kuai Qi, so he gives in to Kuai Qi most of the time. Anyway, he only needs to take care of internal affairs and help the young master Liu Qi stabilize people's livelihood. , As for other things, Yiji doesn't want to take care of it, and of course, he can't.

"A gentleman's sword should be done with knowledge and practice. Raise your sleeves and shine on the sun and stars..." After dancing to the point where his interest was high, Yi Ji put away the long sword, flicked his fingers on the ridge of the sword body, chanted and sang, "...in his hand The sword depicts the past and present, cuts through the floating clouds, and opens up the Taiqing..."

"A gentleman's sword should be straight..." Liu Qi could not help but applaud and praise, "A gentleman's sword should be straight, unyielding, and walk straight... Ji Bo's words are insightful and thought-provoking..."

Yi Ji turned around, quickly lowered the long sword in his hand, put it into the scabbard, cupped his hand and said: "I didn't know that the young master was coming, and I didn't come far to greet you. I hope you will forgive me..."

Damn, I meant "knowing and doing", not "acting straight"! When you hit a wall, you need to know how painful it is, and you need to know how to find a solution instead of just thinking about "going straight"!

But it’s hard to say, you idiot, you’ve got everything wrong...

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am rude. I came here hastily. I hope Ji Bo won't be surprised."

Yiji even said he didn't dare, and then asked Liu Qi to take a seat in the hall and asked the servants to prepare food and refreshments.

"No need to go to too much trouble..." Liu Qi said, "I brought some drinks myself and wanted to have a drink with Uncle Ji..."

The two sat down in the hall. After a moment of silence, Liu Qi took the lead and said, "Uncle Ji, do you think we can fight against the Western Conquest on our own?"

Yi Ji was stunned and pondered, but did not answer immediately.

Liu Qi let out a long sigh and said: "When I heard that my family was in trouble, I wished I could turn around immediately and serve at my knees... However, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, we have lost troops and lost ground. What would be the point of returning to the army... Alas..."

Yi Ji glanced at Liu Qi slightly and understood.

Liu Feng is sick now.

Liu Qi was naturally eager to go back...

Although the relationship between Liu Qi and Liu Biao is not very good, after all, this is related to the inheritance of Jing Xiang, so unless they are idiots, they all know what to do. But the problem is that since Liu Qi entered Sichuan, he has not won any battles, and has not even any meritorious achievements. If he goes back like this, it is really like Liu Qi himself said, he has no face at all, so what? Fight with his brother?

"The three Liu brothers exaggerated! They have done a lot of harm to someone!" When Liu Qi said this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "First, they tricked someone's soldiers, but they couldn't defeat him in central Sichuan! Now that they have conquered Chengdu in the west, they will definitely gather their soldiers and march soon. Badong, Jingchuan and Shu! Now I am a fish and meat, and a human being is a swordsman, what can be done!?"

Yi Ji said slowly: "Young Master is overly worried...Zhengxi will not rush into Badong..."

"Why did Uncle Ji say this?" Liu Qi stared at Yi Ji with piercing eyes and asked without blinking.

Yi Ji bowed slightly and said: "Although Sichuan is defeated, it is not yet certain. When we conquer the west and gain Chengdu, we must appease the people inside before we can fight outside. In addition, the wind is cold in winter and the Badong mountain road is rugged. Even if you want to fight, you can't. After the spring of next year, at this moment, we only need to take strict precautions against Anhan, but there is no immediate concern."

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then raised it again, his eyes narrowed, "So, if you don't have immediate worries, do you think you have long-term worries?"

Yi Ji nodded, his tone still calm and sincere: "Master, how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? In the past... well, forget it... Now that Zhengxi has taken control of Sichuan, how can we sit back and watch Badong Guxuan? Outside?"

Liu Qi twisted twice uneasily, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, and his face seemed to be getting gloomier.

Yiji sat upright, as if like a puppet.

Liu Qi glanced sideways at Yi Ji, then turned around, facing Yi Ji, and said sincerely: "If we follow Uncle Ji's plan, what should we do now?"

Yi Ji smiled slightly and said almost without thinking: "The choice now is not Ji's strategy, but what the master wants..." I said before, you don't even listen, you just listen to Kuai Qi. You little bitch, now you finally know how to find me, phew, I’m here?

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly awkwardly, and said: "I feel very ashamed that I failed to follow Uncle Ji's advice before... Now that the situation is urgent, I hope that Uncle Ji will take care of my family and not hesitate to give me some advice... "

Yi Ji lowered his eyelids and whispered: "If you look at it in a certain way, it's still the same word..."

Liu Qi frowned tightly and said, "Peace? Sue for peace?"

Yiji was silent.

Liu Qi took a deep breath and turned to look outside the hall.

The clouds in the sky were low, there was almost no wind, and the surroundings were dull, just like Liu Qi's heart at the moment, depressed and powerless.

As a person who is still on the edge of the middle school age range, Liu Qi, even though he is under a lot of pressure now, there are still some people who can do this, but you must not talk about the idea, if not for the fact that he is following Liu Biao in Yiji. The old man, after all, can be regarded as an uncle, so he must know how powerful he is!

"But..." Liu Qi was silent for a long time and whispered, "If a certain person leads troops into Sichuan...if he breaks off the war with Zhengxi and asks for peace, wouldn't he be ridiculed by others?"

Yi Ji smiled slightly and said, "Master, do you know about the Huang family in Jingxiang?"

"Ah?" Liu Qi was a little dazed. Why did the topic suddenly turn to the Jingxiang Huang family while talking?

Yi Ji said: "My lord is in charge of Jingxiang, eight counties in the north and south, with thousands of officials and hundreds of thousands of soldiers... Can you be ashamed of the Huang family in Jingxiang?" I can bear it, but you damn naughty child Can't bear it? If you can't stand what others say, why don't you think about the bad things you did before?

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but stay for a long time, unable to say anything for a long time.

Outside the hall, it became more and more gloomy. Immediately, I don’t know when, flakes of snow started to float down, and they rushed towards the earth full of filth and bloodstains without hesitation, as if trying to cover everything, and also as if they were trying to purify this person. world...
