Chapter 085: Liu Wu is too brave, Liu Bei is incompetent, and Kong Ming was so angry that he cried!
"It's him, it must be him!"
Mr. Fengchu, who used to be calm and arrogant, was now very excited and pacing back and forth in the lobby with rapid breathing.
The clerk at the side was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him. He spoke cautiously: "Sir, you are drunk..."
"What do you mean you're drunk? Get out!" Pang Tong impatiently kicked the clerk out of the hall.
There were no more outsiders in the hall. Pang Tong took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down...
Although he considered himself to be a hero of Jingxiang and a genius in the world.
But the current situation is indeed not very friendly to him...
He went to Cao's camp in person and locked Cao Cao's 800,000 naval warships together, leaving them to be burned to ashes by Jiangdong!
However, despite such great contributions, Pang Tong was still not valued by the Marquis of Wu, and naturally there was no place for him to display his talents in the six counties of Jiangdong.
As for Liu Bei, even though he had Zhuge Liang's letter of recommendation, Liu Xuande still sent him to the small county of Leiyang. I'm afraid it was just wishful thinking for him to achieve something in the four counties of southern Jing.
There is no need to mention Cao Mengde in the north. He believed his own words, and the battlefield of 800,000 naval forces turned into a puff of green smoke. He was afraid that he wanted to eat him alive. Submitting to Cao was tantamount to committing suicide.
After all the calculations, he, a phoenix cub, didn't even have a place to stand on either side of the river...
But it’s different now!
Pang Tong took the half-spilled wine gourd and took a big gulp: "My good disciple has made great progress! As a teacher, I would rather assist my own disciple than assist others..."
"My apprentice knows my talents and will definitely make use of me!"
Liu Wu not only controlled a thousand miles of land in the north of the Yangtze River, but also took over the three important towns of Jiangling, Xiling and Hefei. With these three places in hand, he could conquer the Central Plains and achieve great things!
For a moment, Pang Tong felt that his blood was hot and boiling!
No wonder Liu Wu only gave me wine, meat and money for two months and then there was no news. It turned out that...
wrong!
Still not right!
Pang Tong suddenly woke up and frowned.
Liu Wu is Liu Bei's eldest son. Even if he wanted to capture Xiling, he should have done so under Liu Bei's banner. Why did he change his name and take on such an important task under the name of Liu Zilie?
During this period,
Something important must have happened between Liu Wu and Liu Bei, but what exactly happened...
Weird, really weird!
Pang Tong's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, his eyes swept across a bronze mirror on the table, and a face that was difficult to describe was reflected in the bronze mirror...
Pang Tong stared at the bronze mirror. He recalled his current situation and seemed to understand something.
When in Cao's camp, Cao Mengde learned that Mr. Fengchu had entered the camp, and he personally led the civil and military officials of Cao's camp to welcome him and treated him as a guest of honor.
When he was in Jiangdong, although he was not valued by the Marquis of Wu, he did not blame him. After all, the Marquis of Wu was still young, and it was understandable that he judged people by their appearance.
But Pang Shiyuan was in the four counties of southern Jing, and after meeting Liu Bei, he was still sent here to be the magistrate of a small county? !
This shows what kind of person Liu Bei is...
Liu Xuande had also traveled a lot. When he was in Xuchang, he once drank wine with Cao Cao and discussed heroes. Didn't he know whether he had talent or not?
What's more, he had received the recommendation of Zhuge Kongming!
But even so, Liu Xuande still exiled himself to the small county of Leiyang as a magistrate.
It is clear that Liu Xuande is jealous of talented people and cannot tolerate great talents!
Even a young master like me has to endure such humiliation. That young master must be oppressed all the time.
It must be that Liu Xuande became more and more bullying, and the eldest prince could no longer tolerate it, so he changed his name to Liu Zilie, left Liu Bei, and started his own business!
"Of course it is!" Pang Shiyuan's expression was gloomy, his eyes full of contempt for Liu Bei: "Liu Wu was able to accomplish such a great thing. Even if he was unknown on weekdays, he should be like a needle in a bag, and his brilliance should be revealed!"
"How is it possible that for so many years, the world has never had the reputation of Liu Wu, and many people don't even know that Liu Bei has an eldest son! If Liu Bei hadn't deliberately suppressed him, how could this be possible?"
Thinking of this, Pang Tong no longer had any doubts in his heart: "My disciple left Liu Xuande and went to Jiangbei, so I will go to Jiangbei too..."
"Let Liu Xuande play with the four counties of Jingnan by himself!"
Pang Tong had made up his mind. He didn't even pack any luggage. He picked up the wine gourd on the couch and strode out the door.
Wow! ~
At this time, there was a strong wind blowing.
Outside the county government office is a vast sea of bamboo.
For a moment, the blue sea and bamboo waves surged and surging, and the strong wind with the fragrance of green bamboo blew into the county government office, making Pang Tong's clothes flutter and his long black hair fly.
Pang Tong suddenly stopped and turned to look at the lobby of the Leiyang County Government where he had stayed for several months.
"Haha, hahahahaha..." He suddenly laughed. This place was too small to allow the young phoenix to spread its wings.
Pang Tong turned around without hesitation and left the Leiyang County Office. Faint singing could be heard in the distance:
"Phoenix, Phoenix, I long to rise high, in times of turmoil and danger, I have been pondering for a long time..."
"Dragon, dragon, wind and clouds will meet, a long roar will soothe your heart..."
Ta-da-da~
Outside Leiyang County, Pang Tong rode a small donkey and slowly walked out of the city gate.
He held up the wine gourd and drank the wine comfortably. He had already made up his mind. He heard that Liu Zilie, the commander of Xiling, was stationed in Xiling. He decided to go to Xiling by water. By then...
boom! ~
Pang Tong felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. His eyes went wide open and he fell weakly from the donkey's back.
"Be careful! Don't let Mr. Fengchu fall!"
This was done by several civilians, but they were just dressed like ordinary people.
They are tall and strong, and one can tell at a glance that they have been in the army for a long time.
One of them hesitated and said, "Isn't it a bit rude for us to ask Mr. Fengchu to go back like this?"
"What's impolite?" The leading captain glared at him and said, "This is a famous scholar! A famous scholar should be different from others. How can you treat him with vulgar etiquette?"
"Maybe Mr. Fengchu would like this... bring the sack and take it away!"
……
……
On the south bank of the river, Gong'an City!
Drive, drive, drive!! ~
A group of cavalrymen galloped forward, raising a cloud of dust.
Liu Xuande, the leader, whipped the horse's butt hard...
At this moment, he only regretted that the person he hit was not that little beast Liu Wu!
With solemn eyes,
Frowning,
Liu Xuande, who always gave people a kind and gentle feeling, was serious today and it was obvious that he was very angry.
People like Liu Xuande, no matter what they encountered in the past, the most they would do in front of outsiders is to feel sad about the passing of time and sigh about the unfairness of the world, and that's all.
It was obvious that Liu Xuande was extremely angry as he looked like that.
I have already asked Adou to admit his mistakes to him, I have affirmed and praised his actions, and I have even listed all his past contributions in the letter!
But how did this little beast do it?
He actually gave the letter to Wei Yan.
He let Wei Yan tear the letter written by Liu Xuande into pieces and smash it on Adou's head.
So was the thing Wei Yan tore up a letter?
Do not,
It's tearing the face of Lord Xuande!
Was the one being hit Adou?
Do not,
It was Liu Xuande's dignity that was smashed! And Zilong, he must have trusted that bastard, was tricked into the city, and was detained.
If there was no Zilong, he would have cut off one of Liu Xuande’s arms, this damned little beast!
Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion against Tiangang!
It’s a rebellion, a rebellion, a complete rebellion!
Herod! ~
The destination has arrived.
Liu Xuande suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, then rushed in with his sword.
"Sir, something terrible has happened. That bastard Liu Wu has rebelled!"
"Reverse, reverse!"
"Military Advisor, Liu Wu has completely rebelled!"
Liu Bei's anxious voice spread throughout the courtyard.
Kong Ming, who was working on a map, was stunned.
really,
Liu Wu did not come back.
He looked dazed and slowly stood up. The memory of the young man's perseverance as he kneeled outside the thatched cottage for three days and three nights when they first met emerged in his mind.
From then on, Kong Ming knew that this boy was extraordinary and would achieve great things in the future.
Zhuge Liang put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, lowered his head and walked out of the door. Looking at Liu Xuande's hurried figure, he couldn't help but recall the feeling of carrying a halberd on the snowy night. That young man was really unwilling to give up!
"This is really a rebellion against Tian Gang. The son is actually rebelling against his father!"
"Sir, the letter I wrote was full of sincerity and I asked Ah Dou to pick him up. Unexpectedly, that fellow not only did not appreciate it, but he actually let Wei Yan tear the letter to pieces and tricked Zilong into entering Xiling City and detained him!"
Liu Bei's forehead was covered with sweat and he felt very hot.
Kong Ming rarely saw Liu Bei get so anxious.
Because things had far exceeded Liu Bei's expectations, he naturally knew that Liu Wu was capable, but he would never have dared to imagine that Liu Wu's abilities would be this great!
Even though Liu Wu had already established a base in Jiangbei, Liu Xuande was not panicked. Why?
Because the ruler is the ruler, the subject is the subject, the father is the father, and the son is the son, Liu Wu is both his son and his subject!
In his heart, Liu Wu left him and would wither and die like a green leaf leaving a branch.
No one could take Liu Wu in.
But he never expected that Liu Wu would actually live, even if the tree was moved away. Liu Wu was not a green leaf, but a seed with extremely strong vitality, which took root and grew vigorously!
In Liu Bei's heart, Liu Wu was his son. Even if he left in a huff, even if he achieved some great success, the most he could do was return home in glory and then say: Father, you have misjudged me, I am your most outstanding son!
It's nothing more than serving his father humbly before, and serving his father in a high and cold manner in the future...
but!
Liu Xuande had already taken the initiative to bow his head, but Liu Wu actually...
Either way,
But Liu Wu actually detained Zhao Yun, who was under his command. The importance of Zhao Zilong to Liu Bei is self-evident!
and also,
And the Princess of Jiangdong whom he had captured, he kidnapped her and left her behind.
What a beast!
If he doesn't send it back to his father, is he planning to keep it for himself? !
Going to Xiling this time would be a waste of both the wife and the soldiers.
"My lord! Please be patient..." Kong Ming spoke, trying to appease Liu Bei, who was in a state of panic.
Liu Bei immediately sat down, took a sip of his drink, and calmed down a little before saying, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly: "My lord has made his own decision. Liang, there is really nothing I can do."
Liu Bei was stunned.
Standing there in a daze,
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Is there really nothing we can do?
Now the world still doesn't know the identity of Liu Zilie in Jiangling City. Once Liu Wu is completely exposed and his identity is made public, how can Liu Xuande still live in the world with dignity? !
Not to mention the things Liu Wu had done. If they were made public, it would completely wipe out the halo of the Han super idol that Liu Xuande had built up over the years.
Liu Bei was defeated over and over again, but he kept fighting. Why did he remain strong?
Isn't it because human beings are well-designed that there are always heroes coming to join us, and the princes of the world also give us face?
Some people make their living in the underworld by relying on their connections. As long as the gun is still there, no matter how bad their reputation is, it will not affect them, such as the Han traitor Cao Cao.
Some people make their way in the underworld by relying on face, personality, and political correctness. Because Liu Xuande has a good personality and is politically correct, he has face wherever he goes and can thrive wherever he goes. So no matter how many times he is beaten by Cao Cao, Liu Xuande can always make a comeback!
But Liu Wu...all those things he did, one after another, if just a few of them were exposed, would be enough to destroy Liu Xuande's image as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and his reputation as a benevolent, righteous and virtuous person!
Looking at Liu Bei's confused expression at this moment, Zhuge Liang felt very depressed.
Naturally, he came out of seclusion because he had his eyes on Liu Xuande, but wasn't he also attracted to Liu Wu?
If Liu Wu had been the crown prince, with two generations of wise rulers, Kong Ming would have no idea how comfortable his second half of his life would have been... Alas, Adou, it’s actually not that bad.
"Going to pick up Master Wu is a long shot."
Zhuge Liang finally spoke, and he began to pour out his heart: "My lord, if it wasn't General Zilong who accompanied Adou to Xiling, but you went there yourself, taking Yide, Yunchang, Zilong and Adou with you, to Xiling together."
"In Xiling City, the lord admitted his mistakes in front of everyone, and appointed Liu Wu as the heir, stating clearly that the inheritance would only be passed on to him. Perhaps there is still a possibility."
"Pity……"
Liu Bei was a little annoyed at the moment.
If what Kong Ming said is true, Liu Wu will definitely come back.
But there was no way, he couldn't do it. Liu Xuande really couldn't do this.
Admit your mistakes in front of everyone, and admit your mistakes. This person can be Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, or even an ordinary person, or even the young Adou of today, but not Liu Wu!
Liu Xuande remained indifferent.
He didn't expect that Liu Wu hid it so well. For so many years, he had never realized that his son was a wicked person who had no loyalty to his king or his father!
"Huh!~"
Gently waving his feather fan, Kong Ming took a long breath and said, "Actually, there are other ways..."
"But Liang thought that the lord would definitely not be willing to do it."
When the words came to this point, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly brightened.
Uh-huh~
Lord Xuande stood up suddenly, shook his arms, and snapped!
He swung his sleeves in a neat and orderly manner.
Then he bowed his head and bowed deeply to Kong Ming: "Teacher, teach me!"
He, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, is really helpless now!
The feather fan was waving gently, so that Liu Xuande could feel the breeze. Mr. Wolong's voice came slowly: "Since the young master is unwilling to come, the lord will go over."
"My lord, you can single-handedly control the four counties of Jingnan."
"I will lead 60,000 soldiers in one hand and hand them over to you personally."
"In this case, how could Liu Wu still..."
Before Kong Ming finished speaking, Liu Bei suddenly raised his head and said, "No!"
He waved his hand to refute.
Bang!~
The feather fan is swung back!
Zhuge Liang moved forward a bit, and the feather fan was caught on Liu Bei's raised hand!
Kong Ming's eyes were slightly moist. He gritted his teeth and spoke reluctantly: "If the lord doesn't give it to him, he will come and rob it himself..."
Sorry, I slept late this morning and didn't get up until the afternoon to start writing. I didn't have enough time, so I only wrote two chapters, but it's still 8,700 words. I'll write more tomorrow to make up for it. Then, brothers, you must read it, the plot is exciting later. The protagonist appeases Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Don't let them move, and then starts to beat Liu Bei violently. In front of the whole world, the father and son showdown!
