Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 163 Liu Bei
Old Guo Tu blushed, and said with a sneer: "This is not only my idea, but also some ideas of the old man under the lord's command, but I just said it."

Jia Xu said: "My lord, did you ever treat me badly? Didn't I also surrender back then? Didn't my lord use the same thing?"

"Can"

Jia Xu waved his hand, his expression was unusually serious, "Guo Jia is from a poor family, and all those who have been promoted recently are from the poor family."

Scanning the thoughtful Cheng Yu and Guo Tu, "Then Zhuge Liang is said to have the talent to know the world, and the Lord has visited the thatched cottage three times, so you can imagine how much he values ​​it."

"Just after the war, the country needs to recover, can I wait?"

Jia Xu's voice softened, "It's not that Zhuge Liang has done much better than me, and my lord has not forgotten me, but it's just that people like Zhuge Liang are needed now, so he can be reused."

"If you let me do it, I will lose my reputation, but can I really have the ability to govern the country?"

These words made Guo Tu and Cheng Yu nod repeatedly.

"But the difference between me and him is that if I can't wait, the lord will use us again. But if Zhuge Liang can't be reused, the lord will definitely kick him out without hesitation."

After what he said, Guo Tu immediately felt a lot better.

Jia Xu stroked his beard lightly, as if pointing out something: "You two, don't think wildly, and don't feel displeased, my lord has his own plan for everything, we should follow it."

Guo Tu was shaken all over, sighed, and stopped talking.

Yuan Xi beheaded hundreds of officials in one day and one night, and the people in the officialdom in Yecheng were panicked, and no one drove them out again, saying that Yuan Xi was wrong.

All the families of these hundreds of officials were confiscated, and all the treasures they got were confiscated, which greatly enriched the national treasury.

At the same time, a large number of houses were vacated.

In late autumn, with gusts of cool wind blowing, Yecheng felt a bit cooler again.

Yuan Xi was wearing a big cloak, riding a horse and looking up at the west gate of Yecheng.

After a while, dense figures appeared on the horizon in the distance.

Zhuge Liang followed on horseback, and said with a smile: "Shi Yuan and Yuan Zhi are back."

Thinking of Pang Tong, Yuan Xi felt warm in his heart, "Kong Ming, how do you think I should treat Liu Bei?"

Zhuge Liang murmured: "If the lord intends to subdue his capable ministers and generals, Liu Bei should not kill him. He should be raised in captivity and stay in Yecheng."

"His subordinates, Guan Zhang and Zhao, are all top-notch generals. Why don't I want to subdue such characters?" Yuan Xi said with a sullen face, "It's just that Liu Bei has always bought people's hearts, and he is a member of the Han family. I am very worried about him."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Everyone has weaknesses. Liu Bei is a reckless man who has grown up to the present, and he can be considered a hero. It's just that he has been wandering for half a life, so he has never tasted the gentleness. Giving him more wives and concubines has worn away his heroism. See He is already old, and he should not be able to make any splashes."

Yuan Xi nodded, "That's how it should be. I'll call Sun Quan back when I find a chance. Now that the world is settled, he doesn't need to guard the frontier. He should enjoy a lot of blessings."

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word.

rumbling~
The earth trembled, and in the distance Yuan's flag fluttered against the phoenix.

Tens of thousands of Yuan troops marched towards the west city in an orderly formation.

"drive!"

Yuan Xi looked at the majestic and majestic tiger and wolf teacher, his heart was full of pride, he slammed the horse's butt, the horse neighed, and ran towards the front.

The horse galloped for dozens of feet, Yuan Xi reined in the horse, jumped off the horse, and ran towards Pang Tong who had already dismounted.

"Shi Yuan!"

"Lord!"

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, stepped forward a few steps, and hugged Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan has worked hard all the way."

Pang Tong's face was sallow, but he was in good spirits, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Everything is well."

"it is good!"

Yuan Xi sized him up, asked a few more questions about his concern, and then said, "Is Bashu repaying everything?"

"Guarded by General Junyi, there won't be any problems. Except for the occasional riots in a small number of places, Bashu should be worry-free."

"well!"

Yuan Xi pulled Pang Tong, turned over and walked towards Zhuge Liang, "Shi Yuan, look who this is?"

"Hahaha," Zhuge Liang walked quickly, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Shi Yuan, are you all right?"

Pang Tong laughed and said, "Mr. Zhuge, I thought you would live in seclusion for the rest of your life."

Yuan Xi watched the two joking with each other, but his gaze was directed towards the front of the army.

Not far away, several people stood around one person.

He knew Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were too conspicuous, with obvious features, and it was obvious that Liu Bei was surrounded by them.

He strode towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei broke free from the crowd, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down on the ground, "The sinner, Liu Bei, pays homage to the general."

"Get up." Looking at the old man in front of him, Yuan Xi was filled with emotion for a moment. "

"Thank you, General."

Liu Bei straightened his sleeves and stood there with his head bowed.

"It's not easy for you either."

Yuan Xi pulled Liu Bei's arm. His arm was very long and his palm was unusually wide, but his skin was very poor and looked very rough.

Liu Bei moved his mouth, but did not speak.

"Hey," Yuan Xi sighed, and grabbed his arm tightly, "Liu Bei, let me ask you, why did you raise your troops?"

Liu Bei raised his head slowly, his unusually old cheeks were extremely glaring in Yuan Xi's eyes.

This is a man who looks like he is about to fall into the ground.

"In order to survive." Liu Bei's voice sounded very soft, "For myself to survive, and for the common people in the world to survive, and for the great man to last for thousands of years."

"Which one is more important?" Yuan Xi looked directly into the depths of Liu Bei's eyes.

"They're all important," Liu Bei said bitterly, "If you say who is the most important, the common people are the most important, followed by the big man."

Yuan Xi's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "Since ancient times, the principle has always been this principle, but the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. Who can really do it?"

Patted Liu Bei's palm, "Actually, I really want to give you a chance."

Liu Bei suddenly looked up.

Yuan Xi didn't look at him, but took him to the west gate of Ye City and walked slowly.

"Don't you ask what the opportunity is?"

Liu Bei's voice trembled slightly, "Yes, what opportunity is it?"

"A chance for you to realize your dream." Yuan Xi let go of his palm, his expression brightened. "Didn't you say that the people are the most important? I want to know how important the people are in your heart."

Under the gate of the west city, Liu Bei was stunned, his old face showing a look of bewilderment.

Yuan Xi walked forward unhurriedly, "Liu Bei, everyone says that you are unparalleled in kindness and righteousness. I will let you be the governor of Yecheng today. Are you willing?"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military personnel who followed were stunned.

"My lord, this is?" Pang Tong was puzzled.

"I don't know either."

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly and shook his head, just now the lord said to be on guard against him, "What does Shi Yuan think of this person?"

Pang Tong shook his head, "I don't understand, so I don't comment."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"Sin will not dare."

Liu Bei was shaken all over, and fell to the ground again.

When Yuan Xi entered the city, he turned his head, his eyes were deep and deep, "Liu Bei, why don't you dare?"

Liu Bei raised his head, "The last general will wear the body of a crime, how dare he take on such a heavy responsibility."

Yuan Xi pointed to the city, "There are still many people in this city who don't have enough clothes or enough to eat. You are the most important thing for the people of the world. Can you help them achieve this goal?"

Liu Bei was stunned, unable to speak.

Yuan Xi withdrew his gaze, "I am asking you sincerely. If you are interested, you can come to me. If you have no intention, you can be your An Le Gong."

After speaking, Yuan Xi left.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Xi's back, unable to recover for a long time.

"Big brother."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu ran forward and pulled Liu Bei up.

Zhang Fei said angrily: "This general is really stingy, I heard that Sun Quan's son is also a shepherd of a state, how come the eldest brother can only be a prefect?"

"To shut up!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and scolded loudly.

Zhang Fei obediently kept his mouth shut.

Liu Bei looked past Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and looked at the densely packed, majestic and mighty Yuan's army, he sighed deeply.

Turning his head, he looked at the red word Yecheng on the city wall.

He pursed his lips, straightened his back, and said solemnly: "I, Liu Bei, is a crippled body. If I can secure a good future for you brothers and do my last bit for the people, I will die with no regrets!"

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shouted in unison, with tears in their eyes.

Liu Bei closed his eyes, a teardrop fell from his eye socket, he grabbed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's arms, "Two brothers, take care!"

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shouted loudly, but Liu Bei's footsteps became faster and faster.

In a blink of an eye, he walked into Yecheng.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and they quickly followed.

Outside the gate of Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Xi took a leather ball and threw it towards the rough wooden board not far away.

There was a simple basket hanging on the wooden board, and there was no net on the basket.

Yuan Xi took the trouble to throw the ball. After the throw, the guard picked up the ball and continued to throw it for him.

I don't know how much you cast, Yuan Xi turned to look at a beautiful figure inside the gate, "Zhaoji, is the painting finished?"

Cai Yan's hoarse voice came out, "The general can move now."

Yuan Xi threw the ball to the guard beside him, and walked up the steps briskly.

"Let me see."

"Not yet painted."

Yuan Xi approached Cai Yan and looked down at her paintings.

After a period of recuperation, Cai Yan's complexion is much better than when he came back.

His complexion also looks much better.

Yuan Xi squatted beside her, his eyes fell on the screen from her profile.

On that picture, Yuan Xi's silhouette had already emerged, just on such a low wooden pier, facing a basketball hoop, and his posture of throwing the ball was painted.

This appearance was not very good-looking at first, but in Cai Yan's hands, his most perfect posture was completely revealed.

Yuan Xi looked at this nearly completed painting and couldn't help admiring: "As expected of a talented woman who was famous in Luoyang back then, I'm lucky to see your painting today."

Cai Yan lowered her head, her voice was very soft, but she couldn't hide her hoarseness, "The general is rich in the world, how can he have no painters, I am far inferior to those of you."

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, stood up and leaned against the door, "Thousands of years later, this painting of yours will be famous forever, and I will become famous because of it, but it won't do so much good to let those people paint."

Cai Yan put down the pen with a smile, stood up and said, "The general praised it absurdly, and I ask the general to write an inscription on this painting."

Yuan Xi saw that her face was happy and her mood improved, so she quickly waved her hands, "My handwriting is poor, so it's Zhaoji who should write for me."

"If this painting can really be handed down after thousands of years, I have to ask the general to inscribe it."

This sounded nice, Yuan Xi slapped his hands, "Yes, then I'll make a fool of myself."

"Yuan Xi Playing Ball Picture".

Yuan Xi's handwriting is neither good nor bad, just average.

After finishing writing, he put down his brush, "Your masterpiece has indeed been tarnished."

"I should be the one who got the honor." Cai Yan raised his head, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Thank you General for rewarding the calligraphy, I will take it back."

"Hey, it's agreed to give it to me."

Yuan Xi became anxious, and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Didn't you say that you painted for me before painting?"

Cai Zhaoji's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "It means that it was painted by the general, but I didn't say it was for the general. If the general likes it, I will show my ugly face next time."

Yuan Xi didn't expect her to say that, and was a little confused for a while.

"General, Liu Bei asks to see you."

A guard stepped forward and said softly.

"Let him come over."

Yuan Xi turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Liu Bei not far away and did not know when Liu Bei had arrived.

"Liu Bei pays his respects to the General."

The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth curled up a bit, and the title has been changed, "Get up."

Seeing Liu Bei stand up respectfully, Cai Yan wanted to leave, but the painting was not done yet, so he could only lower his head and pretend he couldn't see anything.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Bei got up from the cold and hard bluestone slab, bent his waist, raised his head slowly, and cupped his hands again: "I hope to use the rest of my life to do my part for the people. I hope the general will allow me."

"From today onwards, you are the prefect of Yecheng."

Yuan Xi's words were very plain, but Liu Bei's mind was shocked when he heard it. He took a deep breath, "Thank you, General Long En."

Yuan Xi smiled, "If anyone in this city's aristocratic and wealthy families bullies the people or bullies others, if you dare not solve it, or if you can't solve it, you can come to me."

Liu Bei raised his head and looked up at Yuan Xi.

I saw Yuan Xi with his hands behind his back, and on his young and handsome face, there was an indescribable confidence and determination.

His words were like a heavy bell, beating on Liu Bei's heart one after another.

"The great Han died because he deserved to die. The people were so miserable. What use was there for the empire? Remember how magnificent the Great Qin Empire was? It's not the same dynasty that disappeared in just 20 years."

Yuan Xi's words were harsh, but in the ears of Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he could not find anything to refute.

"When a dynasty ignores the needs of the people and only survives by suppressing the people and sucking blood, then this dynasty does not need to exist. Any so-called loyalty, patriotism, and loyal righteous people are nothing but the most shameful and ridiculous existence. It is meaningless. Forget it, they are the greatest enemies of the common people, and they are stupid accomplices."

Liu Bei was in a cold sweat. He had never thought about Yuan Xi's words, and he didn't even dare to think about them.

"Orders are like the plains of flowing water, and orders obey the hearts of the people. The country's destruction is nothing more than taking the opposite path." Yuan Xi looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Since you are a member of the Han family, do you think this big man should perish?"

Liu Bei knelt on the ground again, not daring to speak.

"You are smart."
