Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a beam of lightning illuminated the mountain road.
Mi Fang carried Mi Zhu on her back and trudged hard.
Mi Zhu was hit by an arrow in the back and said weakly: "Zifang... I can't go back... tell the lord..."
Seeing that there were no pursuers behind her, Mi Fang put Mi Zhu down and let him lie on his side on the hillside. He wanted to find water to help Mi Zhu treat his wounds, but Mi Zhu held him back.
"Zifang... go back and tell Zhen'er... keep the virtuous and virtuous people in mind... the lord is a hero... one day..."
Mi Fang saw that Mi Zhu was incoherent. He cried and drew his sword to cut off the arrows, but Mi Zhu said: "You must risk your life to serve the lord... You must not betray..."
"Yes Yes."
Mi Fang didn't listen carefully. He wanted to tear off his sleeve to stop the bleeding, but he couldn't tear it open after several attempts.
"Bring Longzhong back..."
When Mi Fang finally tore off her sleeves and bandaged Mi Zhu, she saw that Mi Zhu had her eyes closed and her mouth was dead.
"Brother, brother!"
The thunder in the sky suppressed Mi Fang's cry.
Mi Zhu, a wealthy businessman from Xuzhou, failed to wait for the return on his investment and died in the mountains east of Xiangyang.
The dark clouds were moving, as if something had changed.
The rain fell in torrents.
…
Zhang Liao led three thousand-man troops and two cavalry troops, with a total of thousands of people walking through the mountains. However, it was not Ermi who was chasing him, but Zhang Fei.
He had previously received a message from Cao Wu to let Mi Fang and Zhang Fei go and kill Mi Zhu.
He personally fired an arrow and hit Mi Zhu. As expected, Mi Zhu would die.
His target was changed to Zhang Fei. Cao Wu had no affiliation with him, but he admired Cao Wu's courage and resourcefulness and decided to obey and let Zhang Fei go.
But the premise is to capture Zhang Fei first and let this fierce general know how powerful he is.
His troops chased him all the way to a small bridge.
Zhang Fei looked back and saw that no one was following him.
These three hundred elite cavalry were the most elite cavalry in his hands. They had the upper hand when they collided with Zhang Liao's cavalry who were trapped in the camp.
However, now, all three hundred people were killed, and Ermi was nowhere to be seen.
He knew in his heart that if Zhang Liao set up an ambush at Mr. Wolong's residence, it would be more likely than not that he would be in trouble.
Major events in the world are too far away from him. All he wants to do is follow his two brothers to enjoy their grudges.
Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, and Huang Zu stationed in Jiangxia as a barrier.
The seven years of Xinye were the wasted seven years of Liu Bei's life, and they were also the happiest seven years of Zhang Fei's life. Zhang Fei and Xiahou's daughter was also born at this time, and they drank and ate meat every day, enjoying themselves.
It's a pity that some people don't want peace in this world. Since Cao Cao went south in July, the prosperous Jingzhou turned into a battlefield, Liu Bei once again went into exile.
When can I find peace again?
When can I console my dead brother?
Zhang Fei can die here, but what about his two brothers?
Thinking of this, he returned to his horse and stood at the end of the bridge.
Zhang Liao and his troops were watching him from across the bridge.
During the previous fight, all the troops had seen Zhang Fei's bravery. He alone could defeat dozens of cavalry.
Zhang Fei stood near the bridge, his eyes filled with anger, and shouted: "I am Zhang Yide, can we come and fight to the death together?"
There was a loud shout, like thunder, just as a flash of lightning flashed, and then the real rolling thunder sounded.
The troops behind Zhang Liao were so frightened by the power of one man that they did not dare to step forward, and even a young general was so frightened that he fell off his horse.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly. At this moment, the small bridge in front of him broke and fell into the water.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "God will not destroy a certain family. That guy opposite, your Grandpa Zhang, go too!"
Then he galloped away.
Zhang Liao gathered the commotion of the troops and sighed: "This is true courage that ten thousand men cannot deserve."
The heavy rain fell, and Zhang Fei had disappeared without a trace.
After Zhang Liao also left, an old man suddenly appeared beside the bridge.
The old man held an umbrella and looked in the direction where Zhang Fei was going. After thinking for a long time, he said: "The weather has changed. If the crouching dragon cannot come out, I will let Feng Chu enter Xiakou in advance to make up for Liu Bei's loss."
No one answered, no one even knew he was there.
…
The strategy was decided, and Cao Wu never discussed anything else with Zhuge Liang. Cao Wu also admired Mi Zhu's courage and courage in taking the whole family as a bet, but both sides were their own masters. Since they were in trouble, it was only right to kill him, not to mention letting Mi Fang go back.
As for Zhang Fei, Cao Wu could only imprison him and not dare to kill him. Longzhong's confrontation finally gave Liu Bei a chance of survival. If Zhang Fei dies, according to Liu Bei's temper, the entire army will not fight to the death. If that happens, If a mourning soldier comes, he will win, and things will get serious.
Zhuge Liang took it calmly, as if what he just said was not killing people, but killing chickens and dogs.
He had no friendship with Er Mi, it was just a matter of face. When he saw Cao Wu being so hesitant, he knew that he couldn't save the two of them, so he just went with the flow and offered a choice. It was Cao Wu who made the decision.
Wait until Cao Wu finds a way to notify the ambush troops in advance and returns. heavily clouded.
Ah Liu persuaded Cao Wu to stay here, and Cao Wu simply stayed overnight in Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage.
There are three huts, except for one main room, two of which are bedrooms. One bedroom has an eight-foot bed, and the other has only a small bed.
Cao Wu took it for granted that Ah Liu slept on the small bed. Unexpectedly, Ah Liu went straight to the big bed, took out a quilt and said, "I will sleep on the small bed today, and you two gentlemen should sleep on the big bed."
Seeing Cao Wu staring at him, the petite Ah Liu stuck out his tongue, knowing that his behavior of occupying the big bed these years was inappropriate, so he quickly ran to the main room to light a fire and cook.
The mountain home was simple, but fortunately Cao Wu was not picky. He and Zhuge Liang sat cross-legged on the big bed, and the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous.
As the saying goes, Cao Wei was a good wife, Soochow Wu controlled Luo Li, and Shu Han were all gay.
The Shu Han people had a tradition of sitting and lying together from the very beginning.
Cao Wu thought of a question to interrupt the atmosphere and asked: "Sir, why do you think the Han Dynasty is here?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "Be close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from the villains. This is why the early Han Dynasty prospered. It is also the reason why the Han Dynasty has declined after being close to the villains. Only by not avoiding hatred in external actions can the people in all directions be at peace."
Cao Wu shook his head and said: "The Emperor Ling sold his official position and was awarded a title. There are countless rumors from the outside world, but does he know that if he had not sold his official position, the treasury would have been depleted and the world would have been in chaos!"
Cao has the basic ethics of the keyboard warrior in his previous life, which is to look at problems from strange angles and refute the opponent, and he takes this method to the extreme.
Talking about the general trend of the world, his words are endless.
Finally, it came down to the four words "land annexation".
Zhuge Liang was not in power at this time. He only considered issues from the aspects of appointing talents, caring for people's sentiments, frivolous corvee and underpaying taxes. However, he never thought that social crux such as land annexation and asset concentration were the culprits. People at the bottom could not see it. Hope led to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Zhuge Liang was extremely impressed.
"Therefore, the world of the Han family has been ruined to this extent. The great families are the source of the trouble. Emperor Huan, Lingdi, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao are just excuses!"
When the coffin was sealed, Zhuge Liang felt as if he had been given a heads-up. He was a member of an aristocratic family and had many friends, but he did not expect that the trouble was right around him.
Next, it was time for Cao Wu to show off. He talked about various systems in previous lives, and even talked about a system without an emperor, from a constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic, from the struggle between kings and kings to class conflicts, and spiraled The scientific view of history is a top priority, especially the conclusions on productivity and production relations, which are more than a thousand years ahead of the times. Zhuge Liang's eyes shone when he heard it, and he fell to the ground in admiration.
After a long narration, it was already late at night, and Ah Liu, who was in high spirits, fell asleep after listening to it, but Zhuge Liang, who was shocked by the turns, was still in high spirits.
Zhuge Liang felt that all the issues he had not understood before suddenly became clear to him. When Cao Wu fell asleep, he was still thinking about it carefully, forgetting to eat and sleep.
The next day, Cao Wuyi woke up and saw Zhuge Liang looking at him with bloodshot eyes.
Zhuge Liang said: "Sir, he has learned from ancient times to the present, and he is the best in the world. Liang has been taught!"
After saying that, you must salute solemnly.
Although Cao Wu was praised so highly, he still knew what he was worth. In his previous life, he was just a young man with an ordinary undergraduate degree. His intellectual level was actually much worse than that of people like Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Zhou Yu. He was just better than It’s just that you are well-informed and know the direction of history.
Cao Wu did not dare to accept this bow and held him back.
Ah Liu said from the side: "General, sir, you have agreed to come back to Beifu with me!"
"What?"
Cao Wu was overjoyed. Who in the world could refuse Zhuge Liang's joining?
Cao Wu immediately said: "The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. If you enter Beifu, the world will unite!"
