Although the choice to deal with Liu Bei and kill him was radical, it was not excessive. From Jiangdong's perspective, Liu Bei is a traitor. If he doesn't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, how can he deter other duplicitous people?
So why does another faction appear? No, to be more precise, why did no one propose to kill Liu Bei before Sun Quan arrived?
Because of Cao Cao!
Among the princes, there is such a king as Cao Cao. Cao Cao, when faced with Zhang Xiu, who had the hatred of killing his son, was able to ignore the previous suspicion and take him under his command. He was a capable person who did not reject anyone who came, and his love for talents was known to the world. If you, Sun Quan, don't keep up, what will the scholars in the world think? Under the same conditions, do you think they would rather go to Cao Cao or Sun Quan?
So, this is how the volume came about. Whether Sun Quan wants it or not, for the sake of the great cause of the world, he should pretend. This is why Zhuge Liang concluded in advance that Liu Bei would be placed under house arrest. What's more, he proposed to give Liu Bei a sinecure position to reflect Sun Quan's broad mind and embrace all rivers.
Civil servants are different from military generals. It's not that they are holy mothers, but that these civil servants have a lot of intentions. On the surface, they are standing for Jiangdong and Sun Quan. In fact, these guys are standing for the aristocratic family. As long as Cao Cao and Sun Quan, including other princes, are involved with each other, then the nobles will live a comfortable life no matter which prince they are under.
It’s hard to lead a team.
Sun Quan came here just to kill Liu Bei, out of shock and for some personal reasons. Similarly, from the perspective of Sun Quan as a lord, he would not want to get involved with other princes.
So, how can we break the involution without losing popular support?
"I'll interrupt."
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Sun Quan finally spoke.
The scene fell silent, and Emperor Xian said quickly,
"King Wu, please speak."
"Is it that important whether Liu Bei is alive or dead? He is worthy of a court full of ministers, the hub of the entire world, but no results can be produced after several days of discussion?" Sun Quan said, "I mean, this time Liu Bei and you are discussing Just a few days, then next time I capture Yu Jin, you will discuss it for a few more days, and next time I capture Cao Cao, you will discuss it for a month?"
Zhang Zhao's heart moved, and he finally understood Sun Quan's thoughts.
"His Royal Highness King Wu wants to establish rules?"
"That's right, set the rules!"
Sun Quan nodded,
"To settle things once and for all, we can only treat everyone equally. You discuss the specific terms, put them in black and white, write down the document, and spread it widely throughout the world. This is more convincing than trying to figure out Cao Cao's thoughts. I only have two requirements: First, give people a chance to make the enemy The soldiers of the battalion surrendered with peace of mind; secondly, the bottom line is clear, I don’t want to see the grasshopper jumping around again and again. Back then, Lu Bu was the best in the world, didn’t I just kill him when he said it?!”
After all, Sun Quan had no need to stay and found an excuse to leave. He knew very well that although some of the specific details might be different from what he expected, Liu Bei would definitely die this time.
After leaving the court, Sun Quan went to see Sun Ren, who was now the queen, and asked the girl to give her brother Sun Kuang, who was now named Ding Kuang, to ask for a title. It was inappropriate for Sun Quan to do this, but it was just right for Sun Ren to do it. He also fully understood Mrs. Ding's departure from the Sun family.
Then, Sun Quan went directly to Tianlao.
??????
The deepest part of the heavenly prison,
Sun Quan, who personally killed Liu Bei, stood silently, feeling deeply in his heart. He was lamenting that a generation of heroes died so easily at his own hands, and he was also thinking about the new skills he had gained by killing Liu Bei.
In fact, Sun Quan rarely kills people himself. Sun Quan, who yearns for the life of a knight in the world, will not say that he is not willing to let his sword be stained with blood, but Sun Quan does not want his original good skills to be replaced by some useless skills.
However, as Sun Quan's own skill level has improved, some of the skills that provide bonuses to force are no longer of much significance to Sun Quan. On the contrary, some skills that Sun Quan originally looked down on now have miraculous effects.
Obviously, Sun Quan came here for Liu Bei's skills this time.
"But just to kill Liu Bei, is there any need to beat around the bush like this?" Dou Yuru appeared from behind. She had heard about what happened in the court. Dou Yuru didn't understand that Sun Quan, who had long been the overlord of one party, still had so many scruples in doing things.
"Of course I can kill Liu Bei directly, but the consequences are: to put it more closely, I have to make my own decisions about everything, which will make those ministers have no sense of participation. Without a sense of participation, there will be no sense of accomplishment, self-worth cannot be realized, everything in Jiangdong It has nothing to do with them, so naturally they won’t regard this place as their roots, and naturally they won’t be loyal. To put it further, if things go on like this for a long time, there will only be sycophants left in the court. It’s good that I did the right thing. No one will object if I make a mistake. It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it." Sun Quan sighed.
Dou Yuru nodded in understanding,
"No wonder you always say you don't want to be an emperor. Have you ever thought about being a foolish emperor?" Dou Yuru said suddenly.
"Ahem." Sun Quan almost choked and glanced at Dou Yuru angrily, "Everyone is the same, so why haven't you ever thought about becoming a dawdling Demon Sect Lord?"
"I founded the Demon Sect!" Dou Yuru replied subconsciously, and instantly understood Sun Quan's position.
"You and Zhang Fei are not on good terms, but because you are the Lord of the Demon Sect, you must save him. If you sit back and do nothing, people's hearts will be scattered, and so will the Demon Sect." Sun Quan said, "Although Jiang Dongjun is not It was founded by me, but I have put in countless efforts to make it grow so far, so I naturally hope it will get better and better.”
"You reminded me." Dou Yuru finally remembered her purpose of coming to Sun Quan, "Didn't you say that you came to the palace to save Zhang Fei? Why did you kill Liu Bei?"
"Do you still remember what I said before?" Sun Quan said.
Dou Yuru frowned.
"Why use membrane method to defeat membrane method? You haven't said what you mean?"
"What caused Zhang Fei's condition?" Sun Quan reminded Dou Yuru.
"Because of Gu?" Dou Yuru said.
"No." Sun Quan shook his head, "It's because of my cursed killing technique. And the key point to lift the cursed killing lies in Liu Bei."
"I see." Dou Yuru nodded slowly, "No wonder he wanted to kill Liu Bei."
At this moment, Sun Quan couldn't help but admire his ability to deceive.
"Let's go, let's go find Zhang Fei."
The key to saving Zhang Fei lies in the skills Sun Quan got from Liu Bei——
Benevolence: During the card playing phase, you can give any card in your hand to other characters. Then when you give the second card in your hand in this way during this phase, you will recover 1 point of physical strength.
Provoking General: The main skill, when you need to use or play [Kill], you can let other characters of the same force choose whether to play a [Kill].
Once upon a time, Sun Quan had only [Peach] in his hand, so he could only save his own life, but it was difficult to save others. First of all, this person must be in the same card game as Sun Quan. Secondly, this person must be deducted to zero blood before Sun Quan can give [Peach] to return the person to the first blood state. But the first-blood state is also a dying state. Without any special reason, there is a high probability that this person will not be able to be saved.
But it's different now. Sun Quan can use the benevolence skill to give card peaches directly to the generals he can reach. In this way, you can directly feed the person to full health and heal their injuries.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wu is truly a god! I, Zhang Wei, swear that I will be loyal to the King of Wu from generation to generation! If the King of Wu says one thing, I will never say two things. If the King of Wu points to the east, I will never point to the west!"
Seeing Zhang Fei returning to normal, Sun Quan also had a smile on his face. [Peach], as a card, is also a weapon of law of cause and effect. No matter what the disease is, it can be said to be a cure-all for all diseases! Not only can Zhang Fei be saved this time, but Lu Meng, whom Sun Quan has always been worried about, once he really gets sick in the future, Sun Quan can also bring him back from hell!
"Stop talking about generations. Do you remember that you made a bet with me, and if you lose, you must agree to do something for me." Sun Quan said, saving Zhang Kun had another purpose.
