Under such circumstances, Liu Bei, who had recently participated in the decision-making of the Allied forces, virtually replaced Cao Cao, and often discussed wars with Yuan Shao.Coupled with Liu Bei's rich combat experience, although he has no unique strategies, his decision-making ability is quite extraordinary, and he coincides with Yuan Shao's ideas on many issues.This made Yuan Shao feel that Liu Bei was really capable, and he often praised Liu Bei as a hero of the times because he was both civil and military.

Faced with Liu Bei's fierce fight with Yuan Shao when he first arrived, all the princes of the towns watched with cold eyes, but they were very displeased with Liu Bei in their hearts.But they also know that Liu Bei is indeed capable of both civil and military skills. In terms of martial arts alone, Liu Bei's martial arts among the seven princes of the Allied Army may only be inferior to Lu Bu and Sun Ce, or even almost the same as Sun Ce.

The reason why they came to such a conclusion is by no means unfounded.In the past, when Chen stayed in the League, Liu Bei's three brothers, three men and three horsemen, went to join the League. There was not a single soldier under his command, so no princes looked up to them, and they all thought that the three brothers were unknown people.However, the three brothers then joined forces to fight against Lu Bu, fighting for hundreds of rounds, and finally forced Lu Bu to retreat.After this battle, all the princes of the world know that Liu Bei has great physical strength, a pair of double-pronged swords is extremely strange, and martial arts is very strong, he can be regarded as a reckless hero.

Chapter 714 The Ignorant Is Fearless

After this battle, all the princes of the world know that Liu Bei has great physical strength, a pair of double-pronged swords is extremely strange, and his martial arts is very strong.And his two sworn brothers: Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are rare fierce generals in the world, and both of them have undue courage.

After Chen stayed in the alliance, Liu Bei got nothing, but he was not discouraged. He told everyone that he was a descendant of the royal family.No one believed this statement at first, but it was said a lot, and it was widely circulated, but over time, it made Liu Bei famous for loyalty.

Since then, Liu Bei has become famous, and what he is most commendable for is his martial arts and loyalty.

Everyone in the world is famous, and fame is naturally a good thing.

In today's world, there are not a few ambitious people like Liu Bei who are pretentious but come from a humble background, but there are very few people who can really become famous all over the world and use their fame to the extreme to achieve great things.So far, there is only Liu Bei alone, and this family has no semicolon.

Since Tao Qian died of illness last year and handed over the six counties of Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Liu Bei has been very excited.Therefore, after taking over all the counties and counties in Xuzhou, Liu Bei has the heroic ambition of "being the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance". Words are not enough to fear.

However, when Liu Bei was in high spirits and full of pride, a trivial matter that was originally inconspicuous or he didn't take it to heart at all made him very angry, and he was deeply ashamed when he was furious.This "little matter" is that Li Li actually rejected Tao Qian's recommendation letter before his death.Not only did Liu Bei not be granted the title of Xuzhou Mu, he was not even given the official position of Xuzhou governor, so that he was not mentioned in the imperial edicts of the world.As if on deaf ears.

What made Liu Bei even more annoyed was that if Li Li just rejected Tao Qian's recommendation, it would be fine, Li Li was jealous when he saw that he had effortlessly won the six counties of Xuzhou, and deliberately made things difficult for him; What was unbearable was that it was fine if Li Li didn't entrust Xuzhou Mu to him, but instead rewarded Tao Qian's two sons, and directly awarded the two counties of Pengcheng and Guangling to the potter and Tao Ying.

You must know that these are the two richest counties in Xuzhou.Liu Bei had thought about the two counties for a long time, but after receiving the imperial edict, he had to hand over the two counties to the potter and Tao Ying brothers.After all, he claims to be a descendant of the royal family, and in terms of seniority, he is still the "uncle emperor" of today's emperor.How can you resist and disrespect?What's more, Xuzhou was originally Tao Qian's territory. When the imperial edict arrived in Xuzhou, Tao Qian's bones were not cold.Liu Bei is the successor of "picking up cheap".How could he disregard his own face and embarrass Tao Qian's two sons?

Just don't embarrass others, then you can only wrong yourself.After receiving the edict, Liu Bei personally sent the potter and Tao Ying to take office with a smile on his face, and encouraged them earnestly when he parted.However, when the potters and Tao Ying brothers left, Liu Bei was furious and furious, and then smashed all the utensils in the main hall of the state pastoral mansion to pieces.Almost set fire to the main hall.

Liu Bei, who has been immersed in excitement and joy after the trouble of the imperial edict, has been immersed in it.It was like being poured a plate of cold water head-on in the twelfth lunar month of winter, drenched from head to toe, feeling cold all over.At this point, Liu Bei finally realized the power of Emperor Chang'an personally, and saw Li Li's domineering, cunning and vicious side.Although Tao Shang and Tao Ying brothers will not dare to blatantly oppose Liu Bei after they take office as prefects of the two counties, but these two will certainly not be as one-hearted with Liu Bei as their dead ghost father; People will definitely turn against each other.

And this is not the most troublesome thing for Liu Bei.The thing that made him extremely embarrassed was that although he had taken over the six counties of Xuzhou, he was still just a small plain order.Every time Xuzhou officials honored him as "Lord State Shepherd", he couldn't help but feel ashamed, his ears burning, as if someone had slapped him twice.

At the same time, what troubled him most was that he claimed to be a descendant of the royal family, a descendant of the great ancestor, and he could not follow the example of other princes to add officials to himself and lead Xuzhou pastor himself without being granted an official position by the emperor.Otherwise, he is still a descendant of the royal family, what face does he have to boast of the blood of his ancestors, how is he different from the rebellious officials and thieves who are currently ruling the states?Moreover, if he dared to claim Xuzhou Mu or proclaim himself an official position, how would he justify himself in front of the world?He claims to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and keeps saying that he is not for fame and wealth, but only loyal to the Han Dynasty; but in fact, he does not want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but he presides over Xuzhou Mu without authorization.Wouldn't this be tantamount to telling the people of the world nakedly that Liu Bei was ambitious and scheming, and he had long thought of taking the Han Dynasty and replacing it.If this is the case, he will be ruined and cast aside by the world!

It was precisely because of this unspeakable torture that Liu Bei finally couldn't sit still after the news of the capture of Hedong County by the Central Plains princes' army reached Xuzhou.

He immediately had a new idea: "Since it is hopeless to wait for Li Li to confer Xuzhou Mu Chi to himself, then lead troops into the alliance and attack Xiliang with the allied forces. If the allied forces of the princes can defeat Li Li and his Xiliang army Liang Jun, everyone is happy. Not only can I get the official position of Xuzhou Mu, but I may also be able to assume the status of the emperor's uncle. If the allied army cannot win, I can also use the power of the allied army to force Li Li to submit obediently and grant the imperial seal In this way, he can still realize his original intention of sending troops to Xiliang."

Therefore, when the Central Plains allied forces crossed the river to set up camp in Loudiyuan, Liu Bei personally led more than [-] Xuzhou soldiers to Hedong County.

However, when he actually joined the Allied Army, he realized that the Central Plains Alliance of Princes was far less powerful than he imagined. Although he successfully captured Hedong County, he suffered repeated setbacks and lost troops at Hangu Pass.At the same time, Li Li and the Xiliang army were not as easy to deal with as he imagined. The bravery of the generals, the strength of the combat power, and the peak of the soldiers were far beyond his estimation.Defeating Li Li is easy to say, it is a matter of one sentence; but when he really faced Li Li and his Xiliang Army, Liu Bei really saw that the Xiliang Army's victory in the world is not for nothing, and Li Li's mighty The world is by no means rumored, and his figure of dominating the world is really amazing.

It's just that at this moment, when the two armies are in a decisive battle, if you lose, you don't lose. Even though Liu Bei was alarmed, he had to bite the bullet and pretend that he didn't pay attention to Li Li at all, because despising the enemy is tantamount to arrogance. Own.

"Bei had never met Li Bandit before, but when I saw him today, I knew the rumors were true. Li Bandit was really arrogant and conceited, and he dared to be so arrogant in the face of my army of more than [-] princes. I really don't know why he is so arrogant. How can people survive to this day!"

As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, all the princes, including Yuan Shao, turned their heads to look at him. They were silent for a while. It is impossible for Liu Bei, who is nearly middle-aged, to be so arrogant, so ignorant and fearless!"

Sensitively aware of the different expressions of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others, Liu Bei asked in surprise, "Why do you have such expressions, did you make a slip of the tongue?"

"Xuande is worrying too much." In order not to discourage Liu Bei's enthusiasm, Yuan Shao shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice with deep feeling: "Xuande participated in the battle with Li's army for the first time, and perhaps he didn't know that Li's martial arts were not only extremely powerful, Moreover, the insidiousness and cunning are really not to be underestimated! Xuande also heard the exclamation of our allied soldiers just now when they saw Li Li go out into battle. I have all seen Li Thief's vicious methods, and I still have lingering fears. Therefore, Xuande must not underestimate Li Thief, otherwise he will definitely suffer."

Hearing this, Liu Bei said disapprovingly, "How can the lord of the alliance destroy his prestige by aspiring others? Right now, our allied army has more than [-] soldiers and horses, which is twice the enemy's army. Why should such a powerful army be afraid of Li thief? Besides, our allied army There are heroes from all states in the Central Plains gathered in the army, and there are dozens of famous generals alone; while the generals under Li Thief's command boast that they are good at martial arts, but in reality they are arrogant, and they live in a corner and don't know the heroes of the world. That's all. Now that the generals of Xiliang meet all the heroes of our allied forces, they must be dwarfed by comparison and feel ashamed.

After he finished speaking, Liu Bei laughed out loud, but the expressions of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others surprised him greatly, and the laughter stopped abruptly, making his cheeks flush with embarrassment.But seeing Yuan Shao and other princes of the six routes staring straight at him in astonishment, their eyes were extremely complicated, with doubts and surprises, ridicule and disdain, and a little bit of anger and hostility.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and inadvertently offended the six princes around him.Because the princes of the six routes had fought against the Xiliang army one after another, but they were defeated by Li Li one after another, and they returned in disgrace.Therefore, hearing him belittling Li Li and the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shao and others felt that Liu Bei's belittling of Li Li was actually alluding to the incompetence of these princes, so Liu Bei's laughter was a mockery to them, which made them lose face , I can't help but become angry from embarrassment.

"Huh!" Sure enough, some of the six princes immediately became mad at Liu Bei.Lu Bu snorted coldly with a gloomy face: "Liu Bei, don't just talk and practice, now is your good chance to defeat Li Thief. If you have the guts, you can go forward and challenge Li Thief. Maybe you don't need Li Thief to fight yourself. Just a random general under his command can defeat you, and even lose your life!"

"Hey! Lu Bu dares to be rude to my elder brother, do you think that the eight-foot snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand will not dare to kill you?"

Chapter 715

Thanks: Xiaoliangzi book friend monthly ticket support, thank you!

"Bah!"

Before Lv Bu finished speaking, there was a loud shout from behind him, and then a burly general with wide-eyed leopards rushed forward, pointing his spear at Lv Bu's forehead, and shouted violently: "Little Lv Bu dares to be rude to my elder brother, is it not Do you think the Zhangba Snake Spear in Zhang Fei's hand dare not kill you?"

"It's you naughty thief again!"

When Lu Bu heard the sound of drinking, he felt it was very familiar. When Zhang Fei rode forward and pointed his spear at his head, Lu Bu became angry and shouted sharply without showing any weakness: "Stubborn eye thief!" , take away your broken copper and iron, or don't blame Lu Mou for being rude!"

"You're welcome? Hahaha!" Zhang Fei, who was nine feet tall, laughed loudly as if he had heard a big joke: "Lu Bu, listen carefully! Today I think you are also a prince all the way, so you will To be so polite to you, otherwise you, a family slave of three surnames who killed your father and king, will be ashamed to be with you by a certain Zhang Fei!"

"The stubborn-eyed thief insulted me too much, I will never let you go!"

Lu Bu was furious when he heard the words, his handsome cheeks flushed red like blood, he lifted the reins with his left hand, snatched Fang Tian's painted halberd from the soldiers with his right hand, and shouted sharply: "The stubborn-eyed thief must die! Cut the halberd!"

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were about to fight each other at the slightest disagreement, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Zhang Yan, Cao Cao and others were dumbfounded.However, they still sternly stopped instinctively. Zhang Yan grabbed Lu Bu immediately, while Liu Bei quickly grabbed Zhang Fei, forcibly eliminating an internal strife within the allied forces.

"General Fengxian calm down." After forcibly holding Lu Bu back.Zhang Yan tried to persuade him urgently: "Now that the decisive battle between the two armies is imminent, how can the general fight Zhang Fei in front of the battle? Please, the general, put the overall situation first!"

While Zhang Yan was holding Lu Bu, Liu Bei rode his horse in front of Zhang Fei.Holding Zhang Fei's arms firmly with both hands, he said loudly with a serious face: "Third brother, don't be reckless! When is it now, the two armies are facing each other, and a big battle is about to break out. How can third brother fight with General Lu Bu in front of the battle? Such a close relationship The foolish thing that hurts the enemy and makes the enemy happy, could it be that my brothers did it?"

"Uh!" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard the sound, and his arms with bulging veins instantly relaxed.Still angry, he said in a low voice: "This guy Lu Bu is really hateful, as soon as I see this guy, I can't help but get angry. Besides, this guy is so contemptuous of my elder brother. How can my younger brother stand by and let this guy speak rudely? So whatever, today I will let this guy go for now, and see you in the future. I will definitely compete with this guy!"

Seeing that Zhang Fei was subdued.Liu Bei didn't say any more, and immediately pushed Zhang Fei back into the formation, and told him in a low voice not to be reckless, and the Xuzhou army could not attack without his own order.

Seeing Liu Bei pulling Zhang Fei into the army with a squinting glance, Lu Bu stared at their backs with resentment, and said coldly with a sullen expression: "Big-eared thieves and stubborn-eyed thieves are not good things. They have repeatedly despised me." "One day, sooner or later, I will let them see how powerful Lu is. Only in this way can I vent my hatred!"

Zhang Yan felt stunned when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Feng Xian wave his halberd at Zhang Fei when he saw Zhang Fei? Don't you still have a heart for the old battle of Hulao?"

"Hmph! Is a certain family a narrow-minded person?" Lu Bu sneered and shook his head slightly, and said sullenly: "I, Lu Bu, have fought countless battles, and there are no less than a hundred people who have fought against me in front of the battle, and all of them are well-known in the world. Warlords. All the generals who died under the Fangtian painted halberd in my hands were all inexperienced, and death is not a pity; and those who escaped in my hands are opponents worthy of my respect. For Lu A certain respected opponent, I never hold grudges against them; even if the three brothers Jingu, Yingu and Tiegu cut off my left hand and three fingers in the Battle of Bahe in the past, I will not resent them, because it is myself Skills are not as good as people, and they deserve this defeat."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu's face was gloomy, the corners of his eyes were cracked, and he gritted his teeth: "But the naughty-eyed thief is different from them. In the old days when the alliance of princes attacked Dong Zhuo, the naughty-eyed thief humiliated me in public, which made me lose face and was often cast aside by others. ;Today, the two armies were in a decisive battle, and this thief humiliated me again in front of hundreds of thousands of troops. Nothing can be done again. The stubborn-eyed thief repeatedly humiliated me in public, bullied me too much, if I don’t avenge my revenge, what face do I, Lu Bu, have? live in the world?"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, Zhang Yan finally remembered why Lu Bu was so angry.The whole thing started with one sentence, and this sentence came from Zhang Fei's mouth. In the past, when the eighteen princes were begging Dong Zhuo, Zhang Fei insulted Lu Bu in public as a "family slave of the three surnames", and even made a speech under the watchful eyes of the public. Detailed explanation.

The general idea is: Lu Bu himself was surnamed Lu, but in order to get ahead, he worshiped Ding Yuan as his foster father, and then he personally cut off Ding Yuan's head and dedicated it to Dong Zhuo, and then worshiped Dong Zhuo as his foster father.Since then, Lu Bu has three fathers, namely three surnames.However, he has forgotten his ancestors and just recognized him as his father, but he has repeatedly killed his adoptive father. How is this action different from that of a beast?Therefore, although he was born with a human appearance, he was a treacherous, ungrateful and evil slave, and was shamed and cast aside by the world.Because of this, Zhang Fei blatantly called Lu Bu a "family slave with three surnames".

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but look at the Xiliang army on the opposite side, and then glanced at Lu Bu, his eyes filled with contempt.

When Chen stayed in the League, Zhang Fei called Lv Bu a slave of the three surnames. After three years, now Lv Bu is no longer a slave of the three surnames, but a slave of the fourth surname.In addition to his original surname, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu voluntarily worshiped Wang Yun as his adoptive father in order to marry Wang Yun's adopted daughter Diao Chan during the Chang'an Rebellion.Although Wang Yun did not die at the hands of Lu Bu, he still died after all, and he also died just like the adoptive father Lu Bu had worshiped before.Calculated in this way, the well-known house slaves of three surnames were actually house slaves of four surnames two years ago. This is an unprecedented novelty in the entire Han Dynasty. Lu Bu was the first, and this is the only case.Since then, I am afraid that no one in the world will dare to be Lu Bu's adoptive father again. The lessons learned from the past are still in front of us. Who would want to recognize a godson and die unexpectedly?

While secretly sneering in his heart, Zhang Yan couldn't help but recall what Lu Bu had just said: three years ago in the Battle of Bahe, the three Jin Gu brothers under Li Li's command jointly cut off the three fingers of Lu Bu's left hand, which were actually half of the palm; Lu Bu actually said that he did not hold any grudges.Since the pain of severed palms can be ignored, why do you only remember the sentence that Zhang Fei said about the family slaves with three surnames?In other words, if the slaves with the three surnames were not scolded by Zhang Fei, but Li Li was the first to scold them, what would happen to Lu Bu?

Comparing the before and after, it is not difficult to see that the reason why Lu Bu hated Zhang Fei so much was not because Zhang Fei scolded him, but because Zhang Fei's identity and status were too low.This is like being spit on by a beggar. Many people will feel that this is the greatest shame in their lives, and they will never forget it for a long time; but if they are spit on by their superiors or leaders, will they be able to swallow this breath? ?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but think of his identity as a black bandit, how similar the situation of brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei is now.Although he holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and his strength is not weak, his identity is still very humble when he gets to the bottom of it, and he is often despised by others.

The same is true for brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Although they occupy Xuzhou, they have not received imperial seals. Compared with Lu Bu, their status is still low, so they are hated by Lu Bu.If Li Li scolded Lv Bu, even though Lv Bu was resentful, he could do nothing about it. As time passed, he gradually forgot, and he would never be as excited as he is now, and he would not fight Li Li so easily; because he dared not, Li Li was too powerful, he couldn't help Li Li at all.
