Chapter 299 The tricky Xuande
His feet have stepped on the bones of kings, and his hands have been stained with the blood of the proud ones. ----------The Cruel Emperor "Shading the Sky"
It is said that Liu Bei and Liu Yu met. Both of them are uncles of the current emperor, but their status is in order. Liu Bei saw that although Liu Yu was dressed very simply, he was a real imperial uncle. Not only did he hold a high position, but he also had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of generals. He was envious, jealous, and heartbroken. On the surface, he bowed to the ground. , saying, "The guilty minister Liu Bei had to do it because of Gongsun Zan's order. I hope the emperor will forgive me!"
Liu Yu was kind-hearted in nature and had the appearance of a loyal elder. He stretched out his hand to help Xuande, and when he saw Liu Bei's big ears and shoulders, and his unusual expression, he smiled and said nothing. His subordinates brought over a long baggage, and Liu Yu took it and opened it. Xuande saw that the scabbard was simple and elegant, and he uttered an ah, it turned out to be his precious weapon, the male and female swords.
Liu Yu pulled out two long swords from their scabbards with a swipe sound, and performed two sword tricks on the left and right, showing a good foundation in martial arts. Xuande was startled and looked at Liu Yu anxiously. Liu Yu came to Liu Bei holding a long sword. Liu Bei was surprised and stood up slightly on his hind legs. Liu Yu stopped and said to Xuande: "Brother Xuande, you and I are both clan members of the Han Dynasty, and we protect the country of the Han Dynasty. How can there be any right or wrong? The Liu surname is everywhere in the world, and everyone has his own master. Only Those who oppose the imperial court are the real criminals. Now that you are here by fate, how about taking a good rest here, chatting with me every day, and protecting the current emperor together!?" He said, "How about you?" The long sword was sheathed and handed to Liu Bei sideways.
Liu Bei did not expect that Liu Yu valued him so much, and said happily: "Brother Bo'an is so magnanimous, I dare not disobey him." He happily took the sword and hung it on his waist.
Suddenly, a young general walked out from beside him and shouted angrily: "No!" Liu Bei was startled when he saw the young man standing next to him with fair face and beardless, of above average build, wearing a prince's scarf, a war robe, and a bent waist. Dao, with an angry look on his face, stood up and pointed at Liu Bei and said angrily: "Father, you can't forgive this thief! According to the report of the general on the scene, this man's third brother Zhang Fei stabbed Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju to death, and his second brother Guan Yu hacked to death Nanlou, one of the three kings. If this person is released, how will he explain to the Wuhuan army and people?"
When Liu Yu heard about it, he couldn't help but his eyes narrowed, and he yelled angrily: "You little bastard! Shut up immediately, why don't you come forward to see the emperor?"
The young man who stood up and denounced Liu Bei was none other than Liu Yu's only son, Liu He.
Liu He was originally a servant of the Han Dynasty. Later, he accepted the secret order of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and fled Chang'an to meet his father, allowing Liu Yu to lead his troops to welcome the emperor. Liu He passed through Yuan Shu's territory on the way and informed Yuan Shu of Xian Emperor's will. However, Yuan Shu detained him and wrote to Liu Yu, asking him to lead his troops and march together. Gongsun Zan believed that Yuan Shu had different intentions and did not want Liu Yu to send troops, so he stopped Liu Yu, but Liu Yu did not obey. Gongsun Zan was afraid that Yuan Shu would learn that he had stopped Liu Yu, so he sent his cousin Gongsun Yue to lead a thousand cavalry to see Yuan Shu, and made an alliance with Yuan Shu. He secretly asked Yuan Shu to capture Liu He and seize Liu Yu's men. From then on, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu The hatred forged by Yu Cai.
In the official history, Liu He took the opportunity to escape from Yuan Shu and headed north, but was detained by Yuan Shao. Soon, Gongsun Zan falsely accused Liu Yu of wanting to proclaim himself emperor and had Liu Yu killed. Liu Yu's old subordinates Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others jointly recommended Yan Rou as Wuwan Sima, summoned the troops of Wuwan and Xianbei, and added His original troops, totaling tens of thousands of people, fought against Zou Dan, the prefect of Yuyang under Gongsun Zan, and eventually killed Zou Dan. At this time, Yuan Shao sent generals Qu Yi and Liu He to lead troops to support Xian Yufu and others, and finally defeated Gongsun Zan.
Liu He was scolded by his father and did not dare to speak anymore, but he did not come over to talk to Xuande. Apparently he was still aggrieved. Liu Yu waved his hand and said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, don't pay attention to this unworthy son of mine. Those who can help the world now have to rely on us, the Han clan clan, to unite as one. I am lacking a secret minister here. If Brother Xuande is willing, how about condescending first?"
Liu Bei survived the catastrophe and got a big official position. He said with great joy: "Thank you so much, brother Bo'an! If I refuse, it would be hypocritical. I will protect the emperor with you until death." He was about to kneel down at that moment and call him lord. Liu Yu stopped him and took him to introduce him to the ministers. Except for Liu He, the other ministers were quite polite. Firstly, Liu Bei bore the title of imperial uncle, and secondly, after all, Liu Yu's words were sincere and he really wanted to keep Liu Bei to help the Han Dynasty.
From then on, Liu Bei stayed with Liu Yu with peace of mind, first helping Liu Yu with some government affairs, and quickly gained Liu Yu's trust. However, Liaodong troops and horses outside the city harassed him from time to time, so Liu Bei immediately went into battle again. Liu Yu gave him 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend Mohu County in the northeast.
Liu Bei had troops and horses. While training his troops every day, he remembered that his two sworn brothers were still alive and dead, and wanted to send someone to find them. When asked about Liu Yu and the people around him, no one found any trace of his two sworn brothers.
Liu Bei accidentally led troops to the east of Hongshan, which was Wuhuan Tadun's defense area. Tadun was engaged in a contact battle with Zhang Chang. Liu Bei attacked from the flank. Zhang Chang saw that the situation was not good and retreated to Liaodong. Liu Bei rode in front of Tadun's horse. The two of them bowed their hands to each other. Liu Bei was suddenly startled. He saw that the broadsword in Tadun's hand looked very familiar. If he looked carefully, he saw that the blade of the sword was broad and long, shaped like a half-moon, with a gap on the back. The blade is perforated and has a hanging hook. There is a dragon-shaped spit at the connection between the blade head and the handle. There is a spear at the end of the long shaft. It is the Qinglong Yanyue Sword of the second brother Guan Yu.
Liu Bei was shocked and asked about Ta Dun. Ta Dun told him his origin. Liu Bei heard that Guan Yu had been rescued. He felt relieved and wanted to take the Qinglong Yanyue Sword from Ta Dun. Ta Dun was unhappy and rolled his eyes and left. opened.
Liu Bei dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and said in his heart: "Sooner or later, this barbarian like you will be defeated." Then he led his troops back to Mohu County, wondering which master had saved his second brother Guan Yu.
Suddenly one day, Gongsun Mo led his troops to plunder Xiajiadian in the north. There were not many troops. Liu Yu sent his son Liu He to lead 5,000 troops to resist the enemy. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xu's main force suddenly appeared midway. It turned out to be a trap targeting Liu Yu, but it caught a big fish, Liu He.
Liu He fought hard, but the strength of his troops was greatly disparity, and he was pinned on one side of Anqing ditch, with no way to retreat. Gongsun Xu's soldiers and horses attacked in waves, and Liu He sent many cavalry everywhere to ask for help.
One of the riders broke through the siege and went to nearby Mohu County to seek help. Liu Bei heard that Liu He was besieged in Anqing Valley and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Anqing Valley. He did not dare to challenge Gongsun Xu's army and dispersed his troops through the forest and ditch to find a way to rescue Liu He. It happened that Liu He's troops were completely dispersed by Gongsun Xu, and they all retreated into the ravine to escape.
Liu He fought hard and suffered several stab wounds. The guards around him had been eliminated by Gongsun Xubing's continuous attacks. Liu He fought through thorns and thorns, crawling in and out of deep mountains and old forests to avoid being pursued by the Liaodong Army. Suddenly, there was a soft sound deep in the trees beside him, and a head emerged from the trees. Liu He raised his knife and saw that it was Liu Bei. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but a look of disgust appeared on his face.
Liu Bei pretended not to see them, and asked Liu and Shangshu to hide in the bushes together. Just after they hid, dozens of Liaodong soldiers hurriedly searched and narrowly caught the two of them.
Both Liu Bei and Liu He breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bei motioned for Liu He to follow him, but he wanted to cross the ditch back to Mohu before talking. Unexpectedly, after Liu He came down from the tree, his expression was not good, he waved his hand and said: "Xia Mi Cheng, you go and guard the road. If you encounter enemies, lead them away. I have my own way to return to the city, so you don't need to worry about it." "
Liu Bei thought to himself, isn't this asking me to die? Seeing Liu Heyi bossing around and looking arrogant, he remembered that in front of Liu Yu that day, Liu He suggested that he be executed, and he couldn't help but get angry. On the surface, he was calm and agreed. Liu He turned his head and was about to dive into the jungle, when he heard the sound of the scabbard behind him, and then a sharp sword energy hit his back. Liu He shouted that something was wrong, and was about to jump behind the tree on the left, when his feet just left the ground, he felt Severe pain came from his chest, and when he looked down, he saw a bloody sword tip on his chest. The tip of the sword is slightly black, the sharp angle is extremely small, and it has a deep blood groove. What is it if it's not Liu Bei's double-pronged sword?
Liu He shouted wildly, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he felt the sword being violently pulled out from his body, spurting out a mouthful of blood. Liu He clutched his chest, blood gushed out from between his fingers, and he whimpered. Finally, he fell to the ground and died. He really died in silence.
Liu Bei played a cruel trick. Seeing that there was no one around him, he stabbed a few more times and cut the wound to pieces. It was impossible to tell that it was a sword wound from a male and female sword. Then Liu He's body was dragged into a deep pit and buried with stones, grass and trees. Then Liu Bei rolled a few times on the ground, making a mess on his shirt, smearing some black soil on his face, and then went into the city to repay Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was shocked when he saw Liu Bei's tattered appearance. Then the battle reports came in one after another. They were all the same as what Liu Bei said. Liu He was ambushed by Gongsun Xu's brigade, and his life or death was unknown.
Liu Yu had no time to appease Liu Bei. In shock, he personally mobilized a large group of troops and rushed towards Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu had already succeeded. Of course, he no longer wanted to fight and calmly retreated towards the north of Hongshan Mountain.
Liu Yu ordered people to clean the battlefield and look for Liu He. For a whole day, his men brought the worst news. Liu He's body was finally found. He had been dead for a long time. The body was moved in front of Liu Yu, with his eyes wide open. He actually died with his eyes open.
Liu Bei did not dare to look at Liu He's wide-open eyes and hid behind Liu Yu. Liu Yu saw that his only beloved son, who was still in his prime when he left the house in the morning, was now cold and cold in front of him. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, spurted out a mouthful of blood, twitched his body, and fell backwards.
Liu Bei happened to be behind him and hurriedly hugged Liu Yu. Seeing that he fell into a coma, he quickly gathered Liu Yu and his body, carried Liu Yu back to the city, and withdrew his troops back to the city.
Liu Bei returned to the city and called a doctor for treatment. Although Liu Yu regained consciousness, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away. The heartache was difficult to resolve. The root cause of the disease was finally found, and it was no longer possible to command the troops. In addition, there was no one to follow up, and only Liu Bei stayed in charge of the province in the morning and dusk, coming every day to comfort and deal with government affairs. Liu Yu simply assigned all the affairs and government affairs to Liu Bei and asked his subordinates to report the situation to Liu Bei for handling. After Liu He's death, no one raised any objection to Liu Bei. Liu Xuande's unexpected authority grew and he became the second most powerful figure in Hongshan County after Liu Yu.
