Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 408 Beast Heart
After all, Liu Xie is not Meng Jiangnu who can touch the heavens. His prayers and waiting have not waited for any good news, but instead he can only suffer silently in pain.

In early August, Tao Qian, who had been surrounded for a month, heard about Kong Rong in Beihai.At this time, he also knew that there was a man named Liu Bei in the world.So, he sent someone to send a message to Kong Rong: Brother, you are all right in Beihai, can you borrow Liu Bei and let me use it?

After receiving the news, Liu Bei frowned slightly after initially setting Beihai: there is no doubt that he knew that this was a just war against killing.

But Liu Bei knows better that in troubled times, justice does not necessarily mean victory.

At this time, Cao Cao's subordinates were already like a cloud. According to rough statistics, there are Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Dian Wei, etc. In addition, several young people such as Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are thriving. Let's see, - just look at these names and you will know how fierce they are.As for civil servants, there are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and the mysterious Guo Jia among the senior counselors.

Of course, the scariest thing is Cao Cao himself.In the era of the Three Kingdoms, when heroes came forth in large numbers, no one could match the use of troops in war.

At this time, Liu Bei was nothing compared to Cao Cao. He was not a heavyweight player at all.

But Liu Bei went anyway, and went without hesitation.

Quoting Liu Bei again: Losing is not shameful, fear is shameful.

What is failure?The worst is to start all over again, and the worst is to win righteousness from benevolence.If you lose your courage, you lose everything, and all possibilities.

If you come out to play, you are not afraid of death.Those who have no courage are not worthy of being involved in the bloody and chaotic world. The wife and children are hot on the kang, that is the place you should go.

If you are confident that you will live for 200 years, you will be hit by water for [-] miles.

Fight the sky, regardless of life and death, just for the ambition in your heart!

Liu Bei's upright and deafening words once again caused an uproar in the entire Han world.At this time, almost everyone in Xuzhou, the entire Kanto, and even the entire Han Dynasty heard a name: Liu Bei Liu Huangshu!
Here in Guanzhong, the tumultuous and restless public opinion was ignited like a barrel of gunpowder because of Liu Bei's words.A mushroom cloud of words and concepts erupted throughout the pass, filling every corner of the pass.

That timid as a mouse, that son of heaven who is usually so heroic, but has no reaction at this time, in front of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who seems to have a golden light of justice all over his body, suddenly looks as ugly and small as a maggot in the ditch. Liu Bei is not worthy of carrying shoes.

The princes from all over the country who were happy to see the civil strife in the court spared no effort to promote this kind of thinking, which brought Guanzhong almost back to the chaotic period when Dong Zhuo was in power.Several times for charity performances, the violent mob attacked; dozens of porridge sheds of the imperial court were overturned by the mob; in front of the gate of Jingzhaoyin, thousands of people gathered every day, clamoring for the imperial court to send troops.

However, at this moment, the court's indifferent attitude almost made the people in Guanzhong feel angry.The two armies of the North and the South rolled out, and drove back all the people who dared to gather crowds to make trouble with leather whips, knives and guns. In the era of feudal autocracy, the court is the court after all. Even the Han court in the sunset is not false. of.

Fortunately, most of the common people are still sober.They at least know that under the severe drought in Guanzhong, the imperial court is already stretched, but it still spares no effort to use all its stocks to build water conservancy and provide relief.Especially when the court continued to find out some rumor-mongers under Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Sui and others from the city, and beheaded them at Caishikou, some truly insightful people had already begun to take the initiative to refute the rumors for the court.

And most of the simple and simple people in Guanzhong also began to comfort the hot-blooded boy in the family: "Boy, don't follow me around. Our emperor, self-government, which time is not unexpected? You want to save the world. , at least don't eat the emperor's meal, put down the bowl and scold your mother!"

Or the profuse blood at Caishikou gave the people of Guanzhong calmness.Or maybe, the hungry people in Guanzhong still think about how to save their own lives first.But in any case, during this period, after experiencing conflicts and refuting rumors, the noisy atmosphere above Guanzhong seems to be less restless.

It's a pity that the emperor who heard the news didn't relax his frown.His bloodshot eyes were always staring at the huge simulation sand table in the Xuanshi Hall, which was filled with countless terracotta warriors all over Yanzhou.He even threw out all the terracotta warriors in a rage several times, but when Fushou picked them up one by one and placed them in his hands, he continued to fiddle with them again and again, thinking about them.

When Fushou was away, there were already cold meals beside Liu Xie.Facing the empty night sky, he muttered to himself, as if paranoid to the point of madness: "Could it be that this history really cannot be changed? Why did it happen that this year, when there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the imperial court could not exert any strength?" ?”

"Your Majesty, the mood of the people in Guanzhong is quite stable..." In the empty night sky, a shadow comforted Liu Xie.Although, he may or may not understand what Liu Xie is saying.

"It's useless, Jin Yiwei can catch all the spies in the city. But as long as the things in Xuzhou don't turn around, my court will be worsened day by day, and I can only sink in the disappointment of the people like this. Moreover, my heart is even more painful Yes, it’s the people of Xuzhou... You know, the entire Han Dynasty has a population of less than 3000 million, and Cao Cao’s butcher knife killed [-] people in one fell swoop!”

Li Ru was completely silent now, he was cold by nature, so naturally he didn't care about the lives of those Li Shu.But from Liu Xie's mouth, he seemed to hear a trace of worry about the future: in troubled times, there is no righteous war, and every ambitious person is using killing to establish his prestige and demonstrate his power.However, if this situation continues, I am afraid that at a certain point, it will no longer be a competition of who is more capable of killing, but who is more capable of living.

After all, there is not only the Han nationality in the world.Once the Han people decline, other foreign races will inevitably rise up.At that time, I'm afraid... Thinking of this, Li Ru, a cold-hearted poisonous man, couldn't help shivering.

"Your Majesty, General Jia is in Yuzhou, and he still has an army." Li Ru couldn't help but speak, he didn't mention the one in the north.It's not because he knows that Liu Xie has made arrangements for that guy, but because Li Ru doesn't trust that guy at all.

"It's useless, Jia Xu's yellow scarf army is only about three thousand. Even if it is sent to Xuzhou, how is it different from Liu Bei?" Liu Xie shook his head again in pain. He once thought about letting Jia Xu enter Yanzhou. At least create a little worry for Cao Cao.But thinking about this time, Jia Xu may not even have opened the road from Yuzhou to Yanzhou, even if he wants to, he is powerless.

"Liu, Liu Bei..." Li Ru meditated on the name silently. He had never liked this kind of guy who talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality.But in order to comfort Liu Xie, Li Ru still said against his will: "Liu Xuande is now entering Xuzhou in the name of benevolence and justice, even if he can't match Cao Cao, he can always delay Cao Cao's butcher knife?"

This is Li Ru's bottom line hope for Liu Bei. If Liu Bei can't even do this, Li Ru has already decided: no matter what, he must get rid of that guy!

After all, Liu Bei seemed benevolent and righteous, but he had no loyalty to the emperor at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to build momentum for himself under the inexplicable grief of the people in Xuzhou.

What Li Ru hates the most is this kind of person, who gives people hope, but ends up being the biggest disappointment.If a person doesn't know his own weight, don't deceive the world and steal his name, which will only increase his laughter!
Two days later, Li Ru firmly believed that he wanted to kill Liu Bei.

Because, Xuzhou's latest battle report was introduced to the court again: Liu Bei was defeated, not only defeated, but also completely defeated.

After Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, he fought well in the first battle. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's defenselessness, he led his own army and Kong Rong army into Tancheng where Tao Qian was located.Later, Tao Qian prepared to counterattack, and established Xiangju City in the northwest corner of Tancheng as a new stronghold; in the east, he dispatched his general Cao Bao, along with the troops of Kong Rong and Liu Bei, to form a formation to serve as horns for each other.I thought that in this way, I could wait for work, help each other, and stop Cao Cao for a while.

However, Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all, and he saw through the weakness of Xuzhou's miscellaneous army at a glance, and sent Cao Ren to form a formation outside Xianghe City to block the possibility of Tao Qian leaving the city.He himself led the main force to attack the joint forces of Cao Bao and Liu Bei in the east, and Liu Bei was defeated steadily.

Afterwards, Cao Cao turned his guns and besieged Xiangbo City with Cao Ren's troops. The defenders heard that Liu Bei, who had saved the world, had been defeated, their morale was low, and they were broken in less than three days.At this moment, Cao Cao's animal nature broke out again, and he ordered a massacre, and blood flowed into rivers again, which was soul-stirring.When Tao Qian saw this scene in Tancheng, he was so frightened that he gave up defending the city and fled back to his hometown, Danyang County, Yangzhou.

"The residents of Xuzhou have lived in peace for many years, and they agree with Tao Qian. Even if Cao Cao occupies it, he will not win the hearts of the people. Could it be that Cao Cao wants to use such terrorist methods to frighten the people and make them quickly succumb to his lust?" Li Ru hated Liu Bei in his heart. Thinking about Cao Cao again.

As for Liu Xie, he just gritted his teeth and said a word: "No one can understand the mind of a beast!"
