Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 457 A Letter From Home

"Dear Shou'er, I'm safe and sound." After writing this line with a pen, Liu Xie frowned lightly, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was facing a battlefield with thousands of troops.

Diao Chan on the side couldn't help but glance sideways, only to see that Liu Xie struggled for a long time, then seemed to have made up his mind, and continued to write: "Are you okay in Chang'an?..."

Diao Chan's face immediately became very exciting, she knew this young emperor, although usually writing some edicts was some extremely popular words, but when it comes to literary talent, he would do his part.What's more, with his usual slick tone, isn't it easy to write a love letter that is so fascinating that people will not pay for their lives?
"What do you know, child? When this love is so deep, it will inevitably become ordinary and trivial. If you really want to write what you want to say in your heart, you will not know what to say." Liu Xie raised his head and gave Diao Chan a white look, but turned his head. Regarding this letter from home at the end of the year, it was like a strong man going to the execution ground, so he had no choice but to ask Diao Chan, "What do you women like to hear?"

"You don't seem to be as old as me, so why do you call me a child?" Looking at Liu Xie with a blank look, seeing his entangled happiness that he really doesn't know how to express, a trace of loneliness can't help but flash across Diao Chan's beautiful face , but then quickly replied: "What we women love to hear most is naturally your men's sincere words. Whatever you think in your heart, just write whatever you want."

"True truth? It's a big risk." Liu Xie lowered his head and didn't see Diao Chan's loneliness. He still frowned and looked sad: "You are not married yet. In this respect, I am indeed your elder. So, There is nothing wrong with calling you a child."

After that, the conversation between the two did not continue.Although Liu Xie did not accept Diao Chan's advice, he wrote down in detail what happened in the past two months.

"Two months ago, I beat Yuan Shu to the ground again. Within half a year, this guy can only be a watchdog for the Han Dynasty to stop Jiangdong Sun Ce's soldiers. However, Yuan Shu is in the doghouse. Can't hide dry food, I estimate that after half a year, he will die and proclaim himself emperor."

In these two months, the most thrilling thing was the battle between Xuzhou and Yuan Shu, especially when Liu Xie committed a personal risk and turned the world around in one fell swoop.Although Liu Xie really wanted to write in his letter how brave and good he was at fighting that day, he also wanted to tell Fushou that on the battlefield that day, he really had no fear at all. , I am afraid of it.

But when he finally wrote it, he still suppressed this impulse, because he knew how worried Fu Shou would be if he wrote it like this.Although husband and wife should support each other and help each other, they are each other's bosom friends.But because of this, Liu Xie didn't want to imagine how much worry Fushou would add to his crescent eyebrows after receiving this letter.

If you are a man, you should think more about women.What's more, even if he didn't write it himself, Fu Shou would imagine that danger as a sea of ​​hell and fire by himself.

Therefore, he only mentioned his future strategy for Yuan Shu.Within half a year, the Han Dynasty will complete a reserve, whether it is a perfect system, talents, influence, etc., it must grow to the point where it can swallow Yangzhou in one go.In Liu Xie's opinion, Han Rong is a very good candidate. Since Chijie appeases Guandong, the old man has been a little sluggish, and it is said that his appetite has also decreased.It is much better to give him an official position as a Yangzhou pastor than to stay at home and suffer every day.

What I have to mention is that the pillars of the older generation of the Han Dynasty are about to wither, such as Ma Rixun, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and so on.But there are some backbone forces left, such as Zhong Yao and Xun You, Liu Xie is really reluctant to let anyone go.But up-and-comers like Yang Fu, Jiang Jiong, Li Yan, and even Lu Su either lack prestige or have too little qualifications, and they still need a certain amount of time to cultivate and settle.

After writing this, Liu Xie involuntarily sighed again, thinking about tearing up the paper and rewriting it.But after thinking about it, he picked up his pen and continued writing.

"As for Liu Bei, he is a very contradictory and complicated person. In my opinion, he does pity the sufferings of the common people, but once he enters this chaotic world, he can't help himself. You are also very clear about political hegemony. No matter who jumps into this big dye vat, it is always necessary to weigh the interests of all parties. Therefore, I will sit here in Xuzhou for a while, at least to help Liu Bei straighten out Xuzhou's context, before I can leave with confidence."

After talking about Yuan Shu, it is natural not to mention Liu Bei.In fact, the series of problems caused by Liu Bei are even worse than Yuan Shu.This guy can be regarded as a test point for Liu Xie to try to combine vertical and horizontal alliances. After all, unlike Liu Biao and Liu Yan, Liu Bei came from grassroots and can be tamed.

But in a short time, this idea is impossible to realize.Liu Bei is not a person without ambition. He is different from Zhao Yun. Although he also has the common people in his heart, he is unlikely to rely on the power of others to achieve this goal.This kind of grassroots people are really as persevering as the weeds on the cliffs, and the more frustrated they become, the more courageous they are. They don't feel the care of nature too much, and they believe that they can grow their own future with their own efforts.

If Liu Bei is still a small plain county magistrate, Liu Xie may still subdue Liu Bei the same way he subdued Zhao Yun.But the world is so impermanent, once a person's butt sits in a different seat, even if it is just for a day, after he has tasted the benefits brought by that seat, it is almost difficult for him to let go.After all, the taste of power is comparable to those white powders of later generations.

Frankly speaking, even Liu Xie had to admit that if he was asked to return to his previous life as an ordinary farm machinery station technician, he would be absolutely unwilling.

After these thoughts were aroused by Liu Bei, Liu Xie inevitably thought of another person who was in a similar situation to Liu Bei.

That person's name is Lu Bu.

Liu Bei's control of Xuzhou and Lu Bu's control of Yanzhou are very similar, both are windfalls that fell from the sky.It's just that Lu Bu and Liu Bei have different attitudes towards this windfall.Lu Bu was hit by a windfall, first cursed a few words, and then realized, "Huh? It's a windfall!" So he happily picked it up and hugged it in his arms.

Liu Bei was hit by a windfall, and also cursed a few foul words, and then found out that it was a windfall that hit him. He was immediately happy, but he didn't dare to pick it up.While walking around the windfall group on the ground, he told the people around him that he was immoral, incompetent, and shouldn't take this windfall.

Especially the plot in the romance novel is very disgusting, one desperately wants to give it, the other is determined not to accept it, and then God got annoyed with it, he just jumped from the sky, and then forced the windfall into Liu Bei's arms, Liu Bei mourned A sigh followed.

But even if the attitudes of the two are different, the process of psychological transformation is probably almost the same.But the only thing that Lu Bu is better than Liu Bei is that this guy is not small, and his spirit is also extraordinary, but his ambition is not as big as Liu Bei's.

Although both Lu Bu and Liu Bei came from grassroots backgrounds, and both wanted to stand out, and even Lu Bu, who has Qiang-Hu blood, was more radical than Liu Bei, but Lu Bu's ambition could not be compared with Liu Bei's.After all, Liu Bei believed that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty since he was a child. Looking at the crown of the big tree in his hometown, he could think of it as the emperor's car cover.

However, Lu Bu followed many people from Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao, but he always let others make the decisions. He never considered recruiting troops like Cao Cao and others, so as to set up a different school.In the first half of his life, he has always positioned himself as a brave general in the world.

It was not until later in history that Chen Gong took the initiative to send half of Yanzhou to him, and was willing to be led by Lu Bu under Lu Bu, that Lu Bu began to stand on his own under the influence of Chen Gong.People in later generations actually misunderstood this point, thinking that a heroic talent like Lu Bu should be ambitious.But he didn't know that Lu Bu's original wish was just to get ahead, and what he had done in his life was purely for struggling to survive.

But now, history is repeating itself strangely. Liu Xie, who has nothing to do, can only follow the guidance of history and return everything to its original position.

The only difference is that this history has his time travel after all.Some details are also different, so Liu Xie feels that even if he can't prevent Lu Bu from standing on his own, it is very possible to become a self-supporting force with his support.

As for later?

"Let's talk about the future, I'm not perfect." After writing this sentence, Liu Xie realized that he had written three pages unknowingly, but it seemed that he hadn't finished speaking.So, he picked up his pen and wrote at the end of the third page: "Having said so much, I just want you to know that although I always think about these things in my heart. But what I think about more all the time is you, my dear." Queen of..."

Diao Chan, who had been frowning and gloating, saw Liu Xie's sudden change of style, and couldn't help being surprised.As a result, she had no choice but to say: "A letter, the last sentence is the finishing touch..."

"But with the foreshadowing in front, you women must be suddenly moved inexplicably, right?" Liu Xie smiled slightly, carefully sealed the letter, and solemnly handed it to Diao Chan.
