Chapter 4 Brother-in-Law
"Adou is also a dissatisfied person."
The atmosphere in the small side hall was solemn.
Although Zhang Fei didn't hold back his words, Liu Bei still chose to forgive him.
Because it was still winter, the stove was lit in the side hall as usual. Five people, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Zhuge, were sitting on their knees around a short table. There were sour plums, persimmon cakes and other snacks on the table, as well as a few Hu cakes and tea soup.
Kong Ming also copied the contents dictated by the Auspicious Light Curtain into three copies, and everyone had just one copy.
Liu Bei sighed. The light curtain didn't reveal much, but the words "Liu Chan surrendered and perished in the face of Cao Wei's army" still stuck in his heart like a thorn, scratching deeply.
"My lord, it doesn't have to be like this." Kong Ming said with relief: "Maybe Adou is a kind king and surrendered to prevent his people from being harmed by weapons."
"That makes sense...but..."
Kong Ming immediately understood that this was another "thorn" that the Lord had touched called emperor.
Liu Bei has always regarded reviving the Han Dynasty as his own mission, but now he suddenly learned that he had been proclaimed emperor for several years. His original target was the Duke of Zhou, but unexpectedly he seemed to be Wang Mang? This was hard for him to accept at once.
"My lord, have you ever thought about what the light curtain calls Thief Cao?" Kong Ming said with a smile.
Liu Bei briefly recalled: "The Shu Han was destroyed by Cao Wei, so this Wei seems to be the title of the country just like the Han of Shu Han."
"That's right!" Kong Ming knocked on the table and said: "Guangmu's original statement said that the three protagonists in the Three Kingdoms era all became losers... Let's not talk about Jin for the moment. Since later generations called us the Three Kingdoms at this time, it should be Cao Cao The thieves and the Jiangdong Sun family also became emperors."
"The dignity of the Han Dynasty has been reduced to this..." Liu Bei sighed.
If he had first heard that Sun Cao was proclaimed emperor, he would have been furious, but after seeing Guang Mu's words that all three kingdoms would eventually be destroyed by Jin, he was able to look at the matter from a calmer perspective.
"Reviving the Han Dynasty can only rely on the eldest brother." Zhang Fei commented while eating persimmons.
Liu Bei felt a little relieved that he was worthy of being his Jinlan brother.
"It's a pity that Adou is a failure." Zhang Fei continued.
Liu Bei's face darkened again. Can you skip this first?
"It seems that Cao Cao, a traitor, was ambitious and did what Wang Mang did, calling himself Wei. After the Lord became King Jing of Zhongshan, he raised the flag of the Han Dynasty again. Jiangdong also took the crown in order to fight against etiquette. This became the tripartite alliance of the Three Kingdoms."
Kong Ming half-assumed and half-guessed.
"Then we ended up playing with our eldest nephew Adou, and we all got an advantage over the Jin Dynasty."
Zhang Fei took another bite of persimmon and concluded.
Liu Bei felt a little uninterested for a while, and suddenly felt that he should just let his third brother get drunk today. Maybe it would be good for everyone.
"Stop talking about these boring things, didn't the military advisor say that today we are going to discuss how to save my second brother!"
Zhang Fei stood up and said loudly: "Let's discuss Lu Meng and Lu Xun!"
"That's true." Kong Ming nodded and said, "General Guan, since you and General Zhang met Lu Meng when they attacked Nanjun, what do you think of him?"
Guan Yufeng opened his eyes slightly and said, "He is a brave general."
Kong Ming nodded. Guan Yu was arrogant by nature and was not used to talking about others behind their backs, but after spending so many years together, he had become accustomed to deciphering the meaning from his words.
A brave general means that he is not a handsome man. He is just a brave man. Such a person has nothing to be afraid of.
Of course Zhang Fei also understood this meaning and said:
"Then the mastermind is Lu Xun who made the big brother angry to death?"
Liu Bei: "..."
Guan Yu stopped stroking his beard and said, "Third brother, shut up."
"Lu Xun is so outstanding but why have I never heard of him?" Kong Ming tried to smooth things over.
"I haven't seen the military advisor when he was sent to Jiangdong?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
Kong Ming pondered for a while and refilled a cup of tea for himself, and said slowly:
"Guangmu Yan said that Lu Xun is a representative of Jiangdong's wealthy family, so the only possibility is that he was born in the Lu family of Wu County."
"Last year when I was on my mission to Jiangdong, I met several Lu family members. Lu Ji was erudite and knowledgeable, Lu Mao had a reputation as a virtuous man in the countryside, and there was also an attendant named Lu Yi, but I had never heard of him named Lu Yi. Lu Xun’s.”
For a while, the small side hall fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Lu Meng is still a fierce general with muscles in his head. Lu Xun, who caused the deaths of Guan Yu and Liu Bei, simply can't be found.
It was like a punch hitting the air.
Liu Bei rubbed his face and said, "At least I know some good news. The next ten years will be...how do you say this?"
"A period of rapid development." Zhao Yun said: "In the past ten years, my lord has crossed Jingyi, and General Ma Chao and Huang Zhong came to surrender. Later, we seemed to have another war with the Cao thieves. General Huang's formation killed Xiahou Yuan, and General Guan flooded seven armies. "
Zhang Fei blinked his eyes, he was a powerful Shu Han general, why didn't this light screen even mention him? This is the differential treatment of Chiguoguo! I want to appeal!
Unfortunately, Guan Yu noticed that his third brother had the intention to speak, and glanced at him with a red phoenix eye knife, so Zhang Fei could only temporarily stop his activities.
Liu Bei was very happy. Sure enough, he should listen to good news more!
Flooded the Seventh Army! My second brother is really invincible in the world, and he is powerful in China!
Kill Xia Houyuan in formation! General Huang is really brave...wait a minute!
"Kong Ming, we met Huang Zhong at Brother Jingsheng's house before. Why do I remember that he was an old general?" Liu Bei asked for confirmation.
"That's true." Kong Mingbo Wenqiang remembered that he was very familiar with these:
"Old General Huang was already sixty years old at that time."
"I didn't expect that he would be such a brave veteran!" 48-year-old Liu Bei exclaimed.
Instead of waiting for such a strong general who refuses to obey his old age, why not take the initiative to welcome him? Liu Bei had this idea in his mind and couldn't hold it back any longer.
Now that there is an auspicious light screen calling the names, Liu Xuande can directly search for talents according to the light screen's list. Isn't it accurate to apply for one?
For example, Lu Xun, who was so angry that he killed himself, instead of wasting his time fighting in his nest in Jiangdong, why not secretly invite his colleagues to help revive the Han Dynasty?
Liu Bei's heart became hot again, but he had to suppress this idea for the time being and talk to his military advisor first to see what to say.
At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was bored, continued to read along Zhao Yunian's paragraphs.
Zhang Fei was scratching his head when he read this sentence: "I'm afraid that my brothers will suffer hardship, but I'm also afraid that my brothers will drive a Land Rover." What is a Land Rover? Why use the word "kai"?
But Zhang Fei saw the next sentence so clearly that he couldn't help but scream:
"Brother! Then how come Sun Quan has become your uncle!"
Kong Ming took this matter calmly. It was common for noble families to marry each other, not to mention that the alliance between Sun and Liu became increasingly tight after Red Cliff.
"Does the second general think that Wu Hou's sister is not worthy of the lord?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said honestly:
"My eldest brother is a hero in the world. How can that duplicitous blue-eyed thief be my eldest brother's uncle?"
"So when I see that unfaithful and unjust blue-eyed thief, wouldn't I have to bend down and act like a kid? Just thinking about it makes me angry!"
"Also, brother, were you busy looking for a sister-in-law for me during the Battle of Chibi?"
