Liu Xiu knew that even if he killed Liu Yu one day, Zhuge Kunlong would never turn to Liu Xiu. And as long as Liu Yu's ambitions remain, this scene is likely to happen.
For kings like them, there are times when choices have to be made. If you want the world, you must give up family affection, love, etc., and other things when necessary.
As a monarch, if he doesn't even know how to make a basic choice, then he is not a qualified monarch, and what qualifications do he have to compete for the world here?
I want the world, I want family, I want love, I want everything, but I can only get nothing!
There are always regrets in this world, and there are no perfect things! Perfection only exists in fantasy or fairy tales, but here it is reality!
The royal family has no father and son, and the royal family has no family ties. I really think these words are just words...
At that time, the better outcome would be that Zhuge Kunlong would commit suicide and follow his master. If the result is bad, Zhuge Kunlong will even spend the rest of his life to avenge Liu Yu.
Of course, if Liu Yu died in the hands of other princes, it would be another matter. If this is the case, Liu Xiu will definitely have a way to conquer the fierce general Zhuge Kunlong.
It's just that Liu Yu knew Liu Xiu very well after being brothers for so many years, but why didn't Liu Xiu understand Liu Yu thoroughly? It would be difficult to kill his brother by borrowing a knife to kill him!
On this side, Yue Fei looked at Zhuge Kunlong who was showing off his power on the battlefield, and glanced at Zhuge Liang not far away, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This is a tough guy, it’s just a pity! His lord had previously issued a secret order, in which some people had to die, but some people could be spared!
As a general, although Yue Fei didn't know the intention behind this, since the order had been given, he would definitely execute it without hesitation!
Zhuge Kunlong is on this list. Not only him, but also some other people who served as officials in Jingbei were all part of the list.
Among them, there are several members of the Zhuge family, including Zhuge Kunlong. Unless they surrender on the battlefield, others will be executed by the Jin army.
As long as you do not surrender before the battle, even if you are captured later, you will still be executed, regardless of whether you decide to surrender after being captured!
Of course, Li Xiang couldn't just target such a few people. The reason why he did this naturally had a purpose. It can only be said that these people were unlucky and happened to catch up, so they became one of the chickens who will be warned this time.
Things have to start with several other characters. In the last balance, among the people brought by Yang Xingmi, Jia Lingwei was implanted as the younger brother of Jia Xu, and Tian Kai was implanted as the younger brother of Cao Cao's general Tian Ji. And this The two are close friends with each other.
Although Jia Lingwei's implanted identity was that of Jia Xu's younger brother, he was originally planning to serve as an official in the Jin army.
However, at this time, his best friend Tian Kai invited Jia Lingwei to go to Cao Cao. Jia Lingwei couldn't resist, so he agreed. Not only this person, but also Zhang Hao, a younger brother of Zhang Liao clan, and Zhou Ben, a younger brother of Zhou Dewei clan, were all invited by Tian Kai to Cao Cao.
For Li Xiang, Jia Lingwei, Zhang Hao, and Zhou Ben are nothing. These three people are not considered top-notch in an era, let alone in today's big historical platform. .
What Li Xiang cares about is not these three people, but the meaning behind these three people. Some trends cannot be tolerated. Since he has taken the lead, he can only be chopped off with one knife!
Take Jia Lingwei as an example, why was he willing to give up Li Xiang and join Cao Cao? After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jin army is the most promising to unify the world.
Who is Cao Cao? He lives in the land of four wars, surrounded by wolves, and no one is easy to mess with. Let alone Cao Cao who unifies the world, in this kind of environment, it is already very difficult to protect himself.
Therefore, how big is the gap between Cao Cao and Li Xiang? Jia Lingwei would rather give up Li Xiang, who has such a huge advantage, and choose Cao Cao. What does he rely on?
It was because Jia Lingwei's elder brother Jia Xu was an important member of the Jin army, and because Jia Fu, Huang Feihu and others were all related to Jia Lingwei.
With these relationships, even if the Jin army defeats Cao Cao, it will not affect Jia Lingwei's next development, and at the very least, it will not affect his life!
However, bad trends cannot last forever. For Li Xiang, no matter whether the truth of the matter is what he suspected, these three people have their own ways to die. Li Xiang must use blood to make some people below feel at ease!
There is also the issue of families sending different children to invest under different princes. Li Xiang will also take this opportunity to deal with it. After all, this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon under his hands.
In the beginning, when Li Xiang was still weak, he could naturally tolerate these things because he needed these talents.
But it's different now. He is already the number one prince in the world. As long as he conquers Jingxiang again, whether he conquers Yizhou or integrates the south, Li Xiang will have enough confidence to face all the remaining princes in the world. .
Therefore, at this time, Li Xiang no longer needs to be used to this kind of thing, and he does not allow the powerful families under his command to have two-sided ideas. Li Xiang would not settle the old debts in the past, but he would have to deal with them in the future.
Therefore, Li Xiang first chose these chickens in Jingzhou to scare the monkeys and make them feel at ease. After all, there are many problems here in Jingzhou. Xie Hui of the Xie family, Zhuge Kunlong and Zhuge Changmin of the Zhuge family are all representative figures.
Not only people represented by Xie Hui and Zhuge Kunlong, but also people like Jia Lingwei, Zhang Hao and Zhou Ben in the future will never escape.
Li Xiang wants to use the blood of these people to tell the world that no matter how many of your people become officials or generals under my hand, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you dare to stand against me and resist to the end, then I I will never let you go!
Moreover, if you keep him alive even after he resists to the end because you are talented, and even reuse him later, wouldn't this make the talented people in the world think that they are insured, and then fight against the Jin army? There will also be a lot less worries about being an enemy. Anyway, as long as you are talented, you can't lose your life. At worst, you will surrender after being captured.
The more talented a person is, the more trouble he will cause to the Jin army if he stands on the opposite side of the Jin army. Li Xiang will use his blood to make these people weigh whether they can afford to stand on the opposite side of the Jin army!
Talented people need to be recruited. People like Ma Shanwei, Ma Yuan, Zhang Xutuo, Xin Wenli, Qiu Rui, etc. are all descended from generals, but they must also learn to stop doing things in moderation, or even change things in a different way, so as not to let others down. Other people have misunderstandings that they shouldn't have.
As a monarch, what you need most is kindness. Rule the world with benevolence, so that others will respect you, and then the world will have long-term peace and stability.
However, the monarch is also inseparable from respecting the law. In troubled times, it is even more necessary to use the law. Blind kindness will only make others think you are easy to bully. While others respect you, you must also learn to fear you.
