Chapter 229
Liu Bei said: "Dudu Zhang is loyal to the emperor and has the people in his heart. It is really a blessing for the court! Although Bei has a poor reputation, he was defeated by Cao Cao. Now there are only three thousand remnants. I am afraid that he will not be able to help Dudu Zhang! "
Zhang Wudao: "Mr. Xuande is too self-effacing. No one in the world knows Xuande's determination to resist Cao Cao. Cao's bandit is powerful and knows how to use troops. He deceived many talents under the banner of the emperor. Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao were wiped out one after another. At the hands of Cao Cao, it is normal for Mr. Xuande to have occasional defeats. Although there are not many soldiers, but with the bravery of Yunchang, Yide and Zilong, and the wisdom of Kong Ming, they are enough to be a hundred thousand soldiers!"
Liu Bei is very confident in these civil and military talents under his command. This is also the reason why he has made comebacks many times over the years. Especially after winning Kong Ming, it can be considered as a shortcoming, but his own luck is really bad. .
What's the use of having more talents?There is no territory for him to develop his strength, no soldiers and no food, how can he fight against Cao Cao!
Therefore, Liu Bei urgently needs a place to settle down, so he is a little tempted by Zhuge Liang's strategy of taking Yizhou, but Liu Bei also has his own concerns.Now that Zhang Wu wants to take Xichuan, what do I have to fight with him?
Now listening to Zhang Wu talking about Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, etc., Liu Bei felt that they had been with him for so many years, and they still had no ambitions. He really felt wronged by them.
With their talents, no matter which princes they are in, they should hold great power and stand out from the crowd.Look at Huang Zhong, although he was unknown before and was about to die of old age, but after following Zhang Wu, he became a world-famous brave general in a few years, holding military power and being admired by others.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Oh! Bei's incompetence made Yun Chang and the others suffer!"
Zhang Fei shouted: "Brother, what did you say? When we got together, it wasn't for fame and fortune. Second brother, don't you think so?"
"Brother, third brother is right." Guan Yu also replied, if it was for the sake of glory and wealth, Guan Yu would have stayed with Cao Cao, how could he go through five passes and kill six generals, and escort Liu Bei's wife back to Liu Bei's side.
"Yun Chang, Yide, and Zilong are all loyal and righteous people, and I have always admired them very much. Mr. Xuande still remembers that when I first came to Jingzhou, I felt very attached to you as soon as I saw you. Later, Mr. Xuande and Yun Chang and the others Traveling thousands of miles to support Jiangxia, I will always remember this kindness in my heart!"
This is where the emotion begins.
"Dudu Zhang rescued Bei by the Tan River, and he will never forget Bei!" Liu Bei is indeed a man of affection, of course he refers to men.Liu Bei felt that since he came to Jingzhou, Zhang Wu had treated his group very well. Up to now, the food and clothing of so many of them were provided by Zhang Wu.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Wu also gave Liu Bei 1000 million yuan!Liu Bei has lived so far, and feels that he has lived the most comfortable life in Xiangyang for the past two years.
Others also felt that getting along with Zhang Wu was very pleasant, especially Zhang Fei, who often went to the Governor's Mansion to eat and drink together, and the altar of fine wine at home was all given by Zhang Wu.
Zhuge Liang also knew that the complete set of books in his home must not have come so easily, and the current head of the Huang family, Huang She, often came to his home on the grounds of visiting his cousin, and brought so many gifts every time.
When Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, he brought his entire team, including Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu. These people are not young anymore. They have a large family of wives and children, and they are all supported by Zhang Wu.
Moreover, these people also have clan relatives and need to support their families. Zhang Wu has made good arrangements for them. As a human being, you must know how to be grateful, right?
Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to leave Jingzhou and go to Xichuan. Many people also disapproved. You said it lightly. This is not a trip, but risking your life.
Your Kong Ming's wife is from Jingzhou, of course you don't have to take her with you, but what about our big family?If it fails, our whole family will die.
Liu Bei also knew about this situation, so he was unable to make a decision for a long time, because if he wanted to leave, he would definitely take away his wife and children. It is impossible for you to break up with Jingzhou. They still have to support your family, right?
Zhang Wu went on to say: "There are endless wars in the world, and the people's wives and children are separated, and they change their children to eat. During Emperor Huan's time, there were more than 5000 million people in the world, but now there are only more than [-] million. If there are more years of melee, ten rooms will be empty. There are fewer and fewer Han people, and when the Hu people go south, I am afraid that not only will our country and the world perish, but our Han people will also be wiped out!"
After hearing Zhang Wu's words, all the people present were shocked, and then frightened inexplicably.
Because Jingzhou has not had any wars for many years, the population is still relatively large, and the common people can still live. Especially since Zhang Wu came to power, he has continuously implemented benevolent government, and ordinary people can live well.
However, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others have fought in most of the world, so they naturally know what the war-torn areas in the north look like, especially Yuzhou, Qingzhou and other places that have been repeatedly ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army and various princes.
And Zhao Yun's hometown is Changshan County, and not far to the north are the Huns, Wuheng, Xianbei and other Hu people. Naturally, he knows that these Hu people are virtuous, and they are all bullying and fearful people, who will repay kindness and revenge.
Zhao Yun used to serve under Gongsun Zan. At that time, Gongsun Zan treated the Hu people with one word, kill.Where there are Hu people who are dishonest, they will be sent by the army to kill them all.Don't tell me "changed", "it won't happen next time", there will be no next time!
So Zhao Yun said: "What Zhang Dudu said is very true. The Hu people are afraid of power and have no virtue. In the early years, they often invaded the Han land, burned, killed and looted. Now the number of Han people in the north is decreasing. I am afraid that some places are no longer All the big men!"
Zhang Wu said: "If we want to avoid such a thing from happening, we can only end this war as soon as possible. If we want to end the war and restore unity, there are only two ways. The first is that we surrender to Cao Cao and hand over the world to Cao Cao, but With the cruelty of Cao Cao, if he wins the world, will the common people live a good life? The second is that we unite, defeat Cao Cao, and restore the Han Dynasty. But the Cao thief is so powerful that the Jingzhou family cannot compete With the courage of Yun Chang, Yi De, and Zi Long, and the wisdom of Kong Ming, it would be a pity if they were idle at home all the time!"
Xu Shu also said with a feeling: "Although today is a troubled time, it is also a great time for us to make contributions. Otherwise, we will die in a mediocre life, and we will not be worthy of a lifetime. In the past, Jiang Taigong met King Wen of Zhou twice in his seventy years. King Zuowu defeated Zhou and was admired by later generations. But if Jiang Taigong has been hiding at home, can he be granted the title of Qi? Bailixi was over [-] years old and became the prime minister of Qin, which eventually made Qin State hegemony for a while. But if Bailixi Lixi lived in exile all his life, how would later generations know that he had such a name? The Master said: Time is destiny. Although you obey the destiny, you must do your best. "Yi" says: A gentleman hides things in his body and waits for the time to move. Ladies and gentlemen, the time is now Here we go!"
