Under Qi Zhen's instructions, Liu Bei was not treated harshly in Youzhou, but his ambition at that time was long gone and he looked a little haggard.
Gongsun Zan never made it difficult for this imperial relative who was imprisoned before his ambitions were fulfilled. He was just kept under house arrest in Youzhou for a year. Except that he could not leave the city, he was satisfied with all the food and drink he needed.
Except for Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng, the other four people spent most of their time fighting with the army, so there were not many opportunities for the two parties to meet. From the incident in Gongsun Zan's mansion until now, they have only met a few times.
At this time, they gathered together under Qi Zhen's greeting. The conflicts of that time were still vivid in their minds, and everyone was a little embarrassed.
Qi Zhen had done some work, and the topic had been centered on what happened before everyone arrived in Youzhou. At this time, everyone looked a little better, but when they started talking about these words, Zhao Yun couldn't get in the conversation.
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly in her heart. She really had given in to her brother's wishes and lost her sister-in-law's favor. There was nothing she could do for a while, but who could say whether this was the last time they would see each other in this life?
By the end of the bowl of practice wine, Liu Bei was crying, laughing, and crying. In the end, he was drunk and tired of crying, so he lay on the table and couldn't get up again. He just kept mumbling about "second brother and third brother." I'm sorry for you.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also in tears, especially Zhang Fei. The nine-foot-tall black iron tower cried like a child.
Some things cannot be done; there is no way around it.
Among the three heroes of the Three Kingdoms, in terms of achievements, he must be Sun Quan, in terms of ambition, he must be Cao Cao, but in terms of good or bad character, I have to say that Liu Bei is the most pure and kind man, even if he is often too hypocritical. .
But if it wasn't for his temperament, how could he have Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu, and the loyalty of the Five Tiger Generals? For a generation of heroes like Cao Cao, no matter how good he was to Xu Shu and Guan Yu, it would be difficult for them to surrender sincerely.
But whether it is Liu Bei, Cao Cao or Sun Quan, in the game that the team participates in, it is absolutely impossible to be taken for their own use. If they cannot be taken away, they can only suppress them or simply kill them.
This is something that can be done but cannot be said from the perspective of a gamer.
After drinking too much, people will always get closer to each other, temporarily forgetting those unhappy people, and finally return to normal.
So as soon as I drank this wine, it was late at night.
Guan, Zhang and Zhao had to return to camp the next night, so Gongsun Zan rarely gave them a day off to gather here.
At noon the next day, Guan, Zhang and Zhao sent the four people out of the city. Naturally, they said goodbye with great reluctance.
In fact, there was no deep hatred between the people. It was just that Qi Zhen took advantage of Gongsun Zan and forcibly separated Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
In the end, Qi Zhen did not leave Tang Yi behind. After all, this would be suspected of surveillance. He didn't want to do this. He just didn't know whether Gongsun Zan could continue to act according to his own ideas, but he was not too worried.
Because after Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng discussed it, they left a clever plan for Guan, Zhang and Zhao.
In fact, it's not a clever plan. It's better to start with the direct line generals under Gongsun Zan and join forces vertically and horizontally. After all, with Qi Liang's two people's understanding of games and historical knowledge, the three of them can make great achievements in the Youzhou army. Chances are, Gongsun Zan would not be so stupid as to kill the donkey.
After everyone said goodbye, the carriage slowly headed south along the official road.
Liu Bei stared blankly at the trees outside the car and asked softly: "I never quite understand one thing."
Qi Zhen smiled slightly: "You're welcome, brother, please tell me."
"You still think of me as your eldest brother?" Liu Bei's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
"As you say, I have always regarded you as my eldest brother." Qi Zhen said matter-of-factly.
Liu Bei sighed and then asked: "In your heart, who is more important, me or Zhao Yun?"
"What do you think?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Zhao Yun is more important." Liu Bei said.
Qi Zhen shook her head: "Guess again."
"Then I'm more important?" Liu Bei asked in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen shook her head again and said, "Neither you nor Zhao Yun are important to me. Without you, it is very important to me."
Liu Bei was a little stunned and continued: "Do you think my existence is such a big threat to you?"
Qi Zhenxin said that if I told you what will happen twenty years later, wouldn't you have to jump up?
There was indeed a smile on his face but he didn't answer.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Bei did not continue to dwell on this issue, but continued to ask: "Why do you have to take me with you when you go out this time?"
"If I don't take you with me, I have no confidence in letting that person come out. You know, the most correct decision you make in your life is to let that person come out to help you." Qi Zhen said slowly.
Liu Bei looked at him with some confusion.
Qi Zhen didn't explain anything, and said in her heart that although Xu Shu did not recommend it to you, I have changed the course of history again and again, but this person is the only one who is determined not to wait any longer and must recruit him as soon as possible. Come here, even if you don't have any soldiers in your hands.
Because this man was Sima Yi's lifelong enemy, throughout the entire Three Kingdoms. Even after his death, the enemies were frightened and did not dare to attack. When he was alive, he actively promoted the alliance with Wu to fight against Cao Cao, and burned out the Three Kingdoms. One person.
The most famous counselor in the Three Kingdoms period who was still farming with his ugly wife in Nanyang and was penniless.
His surname is Zhuge, his given name is Liang, and his courtesy name is Kongming.
Zhuge Liang, a military strategist, writer and statesman who shone brightly in ancient Chinese history and was worshiped by countless people, naturally needs no further elaboration.
Why must Liu Bei be brought with him? Because Qi Zhen was not sure, she could easily bring this person into her own camp.
If there is one person in the entire Three Kingdoms game that Qi Zhen thinks is possible to master abilities that have never appeared in this world, it must be Zhuge Liang.
After all, he was a ruthless man who could borrow the east wind with a broken wooden sword.
But what is different from history is that Liu Bei was recommended to look for Zhuge Liang who was living in seclusion in Longzhong after experiencing several years of ups and downs. Zhuge Liang was twenty-seven or eighty years old that year.
History has advanced so many years. Strictly speaking, both of them are still young people, especially Zhuge Liang.
Since then, it was a long journey to Nanyang, and Qi Zhen had become quite leisurely, stopping and walking along the way without being in a hurry.
Along the way, Liang Sicheng finally returned to the boy he should be in his adolescence.
Cheerful, happy and energetic.
Liang Sicheng obviously didn't like the fighting and killing things on the battlefield. Even though he always shined behind the army with his maturity and calmness that was completely inconsistent with his age, he still didn't like it.
Qi Zhen naturally knew that he didn't like it, but now the team was hiring people. Well, to be precise, Lin Biao was not in the team. He always needed someone who could share some of the mental activities.
Liang Sicheng has done very well this year, so Qi Zhen likes him even more now.
Along the way, the people along the way finally came out of the melancholy of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
As the saying goes, the scholarly rebellion failed in ten years. The discipline of these organizations was extremely poor. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, which had no main goal and no organizational charter, was without any suspense pinned to the ground by rural gentlemen and businessmen from all over the country and rubbed against it repeatedly, and eventually fell into obscurity.
Qi Zhen analyzed to Liu Bei the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed. In fact, it was not because there were few Yellow Turban soldiers. On the contrary, these rebels were especially blessed by unified beliefs and slogans, and they would actually burst out with very terrifying combat capabilities.
The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world.
These four simple sentences sound like a revolutionary slogan that can make people's blood boil even now.
Belief is an illusory thing, but it is the most willing to die for it.
Qi Zhen thought about the horror of the Green Jihad in her previous life, and slowly said: "Why did the Yellow Turban Uprising fail? The ultimate reason is that these ordinary people simply do not understand that if a society wants to run healthily, it must be inseparable from The joint efforts of all classes. They are at the bottom. If they want to rebel at the top, they must not do without the help of the middle class. If those higher than themselves must be defeated, then the entire society will turn the blade against them, but they can do it by themselves. We don’t have the corresponding resources, so failure is inevitable.”
Liu Bei didn't understand the terms society, class, and resources, but it didn't affect his understanding of what Qi Zhen meant, and he nodded lightly.
"Actually, the people ask for very little, less excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and no worries about food and clothing, so few people will have any thoughts of rebellion. We have been in Youzhou for so long, and as long as we provide those foreigners with what they need, they will naturally not Will raise troops to invade, in fact, is this not the case in the Central Plains?" Qi Zhen sighed, "You people with great ambitions rise up and fight with your troops. If you occupy more of my cities, I will have more. If you occupy several states and counties, the people will suffer in the end."
Liu Bei rarely spoke during this journey, and spent most of his time listening to the conversation between Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Qi Zhen didn't care whether he could understand it, or whether he could accept her own reasoning after understanding it. She just analyzed her own views on the general trend of the world as an outsider.
"I don't feel like you are from this world." Liu Bei suddenly said.
Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Why do you see it?"
"In these troubled times, a real man should make a difference, either by making contributions or by following the trend. If we don't cry all over the land and the people are miserable, how can we get along with ourselves." Liu Bei said lightly. At this time, he felt the emotion called ambition. It seemed to be back in his body.
The implication is that Qi Zhen's heart is no longer in one place, or even in the world, as if everything has nothing to do with him.
"I stand higher than you, so I can see further than you."
Qi Zhen looked at the city outline exposed in the distance, with two simple characters written on it - Xiangyang.
Xiangyang has arrived, can Longzhong still be far away?
