After Naduo heard what Cheng Gongying said, he thought about it and squinted his eyes to look at this guy.
"Han Sui is dead. Although he was kind to you, it's all in the past. People can't be resurrected, but you still want to avenge him. What's the point?"
Cheng Gongying nodded.
"If I can't repay my benefactor's kindness, my life will be meaningless. The benefactor died, which is a shame for me as a subordinate. It can be said that I am still alive just to avenge my benefactor. For revenge, even if I die, It doesn’t matter.”
Naduo shook his head.
"But Liu Bei is very powerful. If he fails, we will all be dead, including me. Have you considered this issue? How sure are you that your revenge will be successful?"
"So we have to attack when his main troops and he himself are not around. As long as his retreat is cut off, no matter how strong his power is and there is no logistics, the whole army will be annihilated. Only in this way can I succeed and I can take revenge. , you can get what you want too.”
"Are you that confident?"
Naduo kept an eye on Cheng Gongying.
Cheng Gongying nodded and waved his hand in a heroic gesture.
"In order to take revenge, I would rather give my life, and my family is willing to follow me. In addition, there are five heroes in Jincheng County who are dissatisfied with Liu Bei's harsh rule and are willing to join hands with you to achieve great things. It depends on whether you can seize Liangzhou and dominate." ambition."
"No."
With a wave of Naduo's hand, the warrior in the tent stepped forward to hold Cheng Gongying down, and then tied him into a rice dumpling under his astonished gaze.
"I have an agreement with General Liu. This agreement is as solid as a rock and cannot be broken. You came directly in front of me and pretended to be a Han envoy to instigate me to betray General Liu. Didn't you consider the consequences?"
Cheng Gongying was stunned.
"how come?"
"Why not?"
Naduo sneered: "Although the Xianbei people are strong, General Liu is stronger. I have never seen anyone more powerful than General Liu. General Liu will definitely win. It is absolutely impossible for me to betray General Liu, and you are just a Just a stupid villain."
After saying that, Naduo waved his hand and asked the warriors to take Cheng Gongying out and keep him under strict supervision, and he would be handed over to Liu Bei soon.
After Cheng Gongying was caught, Naduo's cronies, Jiangqi, a mixed-race Han and Qiang man, expressed doubts about this.
"With the current situation, it is difficult to say that Liu Bei will definitely win. Once he is defeated, Liangzhou will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, there are so many good things in Liangzhou. If we don't grab them, others will grab them. Why not do it? ?”
"Of course I know."
Naduo shook his head and said: "But Liu Bei is indeed strong. If he wins, wouldn't we be seeking death if we rebel now? So we can't act rashly. We must be careful and wait for the exact news to come before we make plans. If Liu Bei is indeed defeated. or he is dead, then we have no worries.”
"I see."
Jiang Qi nodded and asked curiously: "Since you have such an idea, why did you arrest the Han man and talk to him so much? Can't you just let him wait for a while and cooperate with him again? Why do you need to say such harsh words now?”
"We must do this. If Liu Bei wins the battle, we will give this guy credit to Liu Bei and we won't worry about him talking nonsense!"
Naduo glared at Jiangqi and then said slowly: "We must always consider all aspects of the strong man's thoughts. In this way, we can live better next to the strong. I have never seen Liu Bei so capable. Governor Liangzhou, if you can avoid being hostile to him, I don’t want to be hostile to him.”
Jiang Qi seemed to have learned a lot and was very impressed by the thoughtfulness.
Sure enough, what happened next proved that much foresight.
Liu Bei won a great victory, but the Xianbei people lost so much that they lost their pants. The two large tribes were completely wiped out and were wiped out by Liu Bei.
Later, Liu Bei led hundreds of thousands of Xianbei captives in a grand march throughout Liangzhou. The Han people in Liangzhou were impressed, and so were others.
They recognized the strength of Liu Bei, the boundlessly strong man from heaven. At least until the possibility of Liu Bei's defeat emerged, they would have no other thoughts and would not dare to blatantly resist Liu Bei's rule and orders.
They must admit that they live with a super strong man, and they need to take into account this super strong man's thoughts and not disobey him.
At least this is how many Qiang people in Liangzhou view Liu Bei.
Although he was filled with emotion, he was also glad that he had made the right choice to maximize his own interests, so he handed over the ashen-faced Cheng Gongying to Guan Yu without hesitation, and informed him of all the news he knew. .
Guan Yu was furious. After taking Cheng Gongying into custody, he sent people to arrest all six families including the Cheng Gong family, and then notified Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei learned about it, he was indeed very satisfied with it and rewarded him so much.
Naduo thus maximized his own interests and completed a wave of sophisticated operations.
In this way, a world where only Cheng Gongying was injured was born.
When Liu Bei saw Cheng Gongying kneeling in front of him, who was tied up and looked ashen, he felt very curious.
"I'm very curious about what kind of favor Han Sui gave you, enough to make you want to avenge him even after his death, even if you risk the lives of your entire family. Why is that? Han Sui is your benefactor. Really? He is a rebel, and he can disobey those who rebel, even if he is a benefactor."
Cheng Gongying looked at Liu Bei indifferently and sneered as if he was looking away.
"It doesn't matter. Victory and defeat, you, Liu Bei, are already the victors. The whole Liangzhou is yours, and I will soon become a corpse, and everything will be meaningless."
"Bold! How dare you call the envoy by his first name!"
Yan Wen, who was participating in the trial, said angrily: "You have done so many things for Liangzhou, are you blind? Can't you understand what you have brought to Liangzhou? Liangzhou has no You are such a rebellious traitor!"
Cheng Gongying looked at Yan Wen's angry look and still sneered.
"What does his kindness to you have to do with me? Just as Mr. Han showed kindness to me, what does it have to do with you? My revenge has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Cheng Gongying glared at Liu Bei: "Liu Bei! You evil thief! Traitor! I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and sleep with your skin! Even if I die! I will come to you for revenge in my next life!!"
"Shut up! Shameless traitor!"
Not to mention Yan Wen, Yan Zhong and Gai Xun, who were watching from the sidelines, could not sit still anymore and stood up to angrily scold Cheng Gongying.
Liu Bei did not say anything to Cheng Gongying from the beginning to the end. He just watched him engage in a verbal war with the local Liangzhou officials under his command. The two sides had a fierce debate on the definition of loyalty, and no one could defeat the other.
Finally, Jia Xu, who had been silent for a long time, made a suggestion.
"Such an evil thief is so stubborn and stubborn that if he is left alive, he will cause great harm and will not do any good to you. I suggest that you kill all the people in your family. No chickens or dogs will be left behind. He will spread the news to all directions to serve as a warning to others!"
Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu and then at the others.
"Do you also suggest the same?"
"yes!"
Yan Wen nodded first.
Yan Zhong and Gai Xun also strongly supported this suggestion.
The locals in Liangzhou seemed to hope that this guy would die quickly, as if they were worried that Liu Bei would have a bad feeling towards them because of his affairs.
They don't have to do this, because their fates have already been linked.
So Liu Bei nodded and gave up the idea that he just wanted to persuade Cheng Gongying.
"Just do as you say."
