Three Kingdoms

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, walk towards it, stick to it, and then be in its arms. Perish, and ultimately lose everything.

Liu Bei couldn't let go of his desire, so he couldn't defeat his desire.

Of course, having said that, maybe only when Liu Bei was facing death in history 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", "if I hadn't done it"

, "If it should be" and so on, but when these "ifs" appear, the ending is 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 hates more is Liu Bei. However, in order to preserve the little hope in his heart, Li Hui had to greet Liu Bei with a smile and 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 to ask for your favor, you have to do it." Also...Brother De'ang, did you know that Xu Shijun wanted to come to Ding Ze? 』

"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 tapped his ear with a gong, making a buzzing sound. For Li Hui, if he was defeated, it was just a failure in the exam, and Xu Shu's coming to decide was equivalent to handing over his failed exam results to his parents. Ordinary people would be criticized, scolded, or even beaten if they failed in an exam, but if Li Hui messed up, even if he was dealt with according to the lightest "copper fine to offset the crime", he still needed to get a lot of money! And when Jianning fell, where could Li Hui go to find money?

So basically, since Xu Shu, Li Hui has been destined to die.

"Liu Gong is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue!" Please pay homage to me, little brother! 』

Li Hui understood and was about to kowtow to Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly stopped him and sighed: "I have no enmity with Brother De'ang. 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 didn't expect Liu Bei to give much support, but now it's natural to take what you have, and it's 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 up 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 are naturally very different. Now, in addition to some remnants of the headquarters that were originally under direct jurisdiction, there are 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, then it is not completely lost, it can only be said to be a temporary defeat. , which can somewhat 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 laughing at Li Hui again. But at the moment, Li Hui could only grasp the straw in his hand, because this was his 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, traveling was naturally much more convenient.

But for Liu Fan, there was still some doubt in his heart.

Is Shi Xie really that kind?

Could it be that I misjudged him before?

Liu Fan chuckled twice and shook his head. Shi Xie is still an old fox, and there cannot be any sudden changes in this. Therefore, this incident of Jianning is just that Shi Xie wants to push Liu Fan to the front, but for Liu Fan, it is also It seems to be a good choice. After all, fighting with Shi Xie in Jiaozhou, at best, he is just the next Shi Xie, and he is still excluded from the Central China.

Since the fourth brother failed to keep the inheritance left by his father, then...

When Liu Fan thought of 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 and affection 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 spirit in heaven, take a good look at how I regain the foundation of the Liu family!

The Hussars General was just a matter of luck. When I was in Chang'an, Luoyang, I didn't see how special this guy was! What's more, the hussar generals relied on only the cavalry in the north. How many cavalry could be used in mountainous areas like Sichuan and Shu?

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 take 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 sweat less.

But in a place like Jianning, you will sweat at every turn, and even have a sour smell that lingers all day long. Not only is he like this, but his servants are like this too. Before they even enter the room, a sour and stinky smell of sweat will hit them.

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.

It happened that Gao Ding turned around from the side and couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "Ah, huh?" 』

Yong Kai rolled his eyes on his fat face, "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, because they are all from here!" They came up to distribute things faster than anyone else, and when we were ready to discuss the march, one had a stomachache, another had a headache, and some claimed that their mother-in-law was going to have a baby and was very upset... Damn it! Why didn't he say that he was going to have a baby? ! 』

Gao Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Yes, he is the leader of the Yi people alliance, but that 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 for him to immediately twist the princes under him into a rope. Everything is just the beginning. Although many Yi people have joined in, most of them want to occupy a pit first and then see the situation. It does not mean that they will be stupid and contribute all the men, women, old and young in the village to fight to the death. A battle.

Therefore, Gaoding could only shake his head and smile bitterly at Yong Kai's 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? 』

Haute Couture was a little hesitant. After all, things like centripetal force are not just words. You have to come up with something decent. However, if you directly send your army to the north now, what is the chance of winning? Haoding is not 100% sure. After all, the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is conducive to defense but not offensive.

If you win, it will be great, but once you lose, it may collapse like a sand tower in an instant. Now, relying on the momentum of the various tribes gathering together, they can still hold on to the situation.

Although Jianning's territory is not very small, there are not many county towns. Therefore, when Yong Kai raised his troops, there were original arrangements, so it was not too difficult to combine the inside and the outside. However, from the south of Sichuan to the north, it was separated from Yong Kai. If the scope of Kai's power is limited, then a real attack is needed, and there will 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 entered Sichuan and Sichuan, not to mention all, at least half of the battles were fought by Wei Yan. He was brave and diligent, and was even no stranger to fighting in the mountains and forests. It is indeed a rather large and substantial 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 there..."

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, but in fact his heart was open. After Gao Ding was pulled into the position of alliance leader, he tasted the benefits and thought about continuing for a long time and even expanding his influence. Naturally, it was impossible to completely give up the limelight to the so-called "outsiders" who came later.

That's why Haute Couture is anxious to make something, as long as it has some achievements...

"This Liu Jiaozhou led his troops to the north just to fight the hussar general in Chengdu!" When Liu Jiaozhou comes, it is certainly good to march together, but the personnel will be complicated and difficult to command! ” Gaoding said in a deep voice, “And now these cheats on our hands are not worthy of their status. They can’t go with us Yi people. At most, they can only help us out. If we really want to count on these cheats, I’m afraid. It’s hard to do anything! 』

"So, we must find another way!" First we need to find an opportunity. We must first gather the people in our hands and decide who are the elites and who are the assistants. Otherwise, if there is really something to be gained and we cannot distinguish clearly, big problems will definitely arise! Gao Ding said with a frown.

Yong Kai also agreed, “This is indeed a problem. "Of course everyone wants to get something for free. Maybe one, two, three will come out, 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?" ” asked Gao Ding.

In fact, military strategies are very 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, 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 is, he still has to eat, right? If we talk about burning the food and grass once or twice... these people may have to go back even if there is no chaos! 』

Yong Kai put his palms together and praised: "As expected of the king of the barbarians!" So good! On the one hand, we can check the strength of the hussars and horses, and on the other hand, we can also give full play to the strengths of our barbarians. Even if we really can't do anything, we can at least survey the terrain first, and wait until the subsequent coalition forces move north, and then we will make more information. confident! good! 』

Gao Ding smiled slightly.

Yong Kai thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said quickly: "I'll make arrangements right now!" Choose the best! Elite! 』

Selecting the "elite" is second to none. 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...
