The efficiency of the work of the "dark department" is very fast, to the point that due to various conditions and restrictions on secrecy, it can only be spread by hostile forces first.

Three days later, except for Liu Yu's territory, there were rumors in the territory of other princes about Liu Bei poisoning and assassinating his righteous brother, and almost everyone received this information as soon as they opened their eyes.

The streets and alleys are talking about the world-renowned benevolence and righteousness of Liu Bei, who is his own responsibility, and Uncle Liu Huang actually poisoned and killed his brother-in-law.

It's kind of incredible.

Many people don't believe this rumor. Although Liu Bei does not have great achievements in military strategy, he has a good reputation. Especially the Taoyuan Three Knots, that is a thing that resounded all over the world. Many righteous brothers imitated Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to worship them. Liu Bei has always flaunted brotherhood, women are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, it comes from Liu Bei's mouth. Most people don't believe this in their hearts and conclude that it is a rumor.

But this rumor is very clear-sighted. The reason why Liu Bei poisoned and assassinated Zhang Fei was because Zhang Fei betrayed Liu Bei. For this reason, the big guy believed the rumor. They compare their hearts to their hearts, and if they are betrayed, they may kill Zhang Fei. Why did Zhang Fei betray Liu Bei? If you think about it carefully, many people also understand it a little bit in their hearts. First of all, the current three Taoyuan brothers have been shattered. First Guan Yu took refuge in Shenwu Emperor Liu Yu, and now Zhang Fei has joined Liu Yu, so Liu Bei has become a bachelor. Someone suggested that Liu Beida could surrender to Emperor Shenwu, so the three brothers could be reunited, and there was no need to assassinate Zhang Fei. But someone refuted on the spot that Liu Bei was condemned as a traitor by Emperor Shenwu, even if Liu Bei finally surrendered to Liu Yu, then he must have been placed under house arrest. This kind of life is not as good as being a local emperor. Secondly, Zhang Fei was not good at serving anyone, and he actually took refuge in Liu Bei's biggest enemy, Liu Yu. How do you let Liu Bei deal with himself? If his heart is not strong enough, I am afraid that Liu Bei will find a place where no one is and cry secretly.

Slowly, some people began to sympathize with Liu Bei.

It's just that the next news broke the big guy's sympathy for Liu Bei. Liu Bei's threat to the people in Jingzhou to follow him to Jiangxia was also shaken out, and legend has it that Zhang Fei fiercely opposed Liu Bei at that time, and Liu Bei was murderous to Zhang Fei at that time. The most important thing is that Liu Bei actually took advantage of Zhang Fei's homesickness and used the wine from Zhang Fei's hometown to poison him, and chose Zhang Fei's good day to get married. It's amazing to start on someone else's happiest day, and to be the best brother you've ever been. Zhang Fei, who is a younger brother, saw that his brother had done something wrong and immediately corrected it, which was reasonable and reasonable. I didn't expect Liu Bei to settle the old accounts and the new accounts together, and choose to poison Zhang Fei on the happiest day, which is really a bit shameless and even despicable.

There is even some gossip that in order to retaliate, Liu Bei also sent a team of men and horses to infiltrate Youzhou and get rid of all Zhang Fei's clansmen, with great plans to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Fortunately, the wise Emperor Shenwu and his courtiers discovered Liu Bei's conspiracy and captured all these people.

Of course, this is exaggerated by Li Gui, sending people from the south of the Han Dynasty to Youzhou, the northernmost part of Youzhou, to kill people, except for fools, no one will do it. But such a fake news, there are still some people who believe it.

The intellectuals who had read the book for a few years immediately despised Liu Bei's character, and talked about the fact that this person would not die well. made Liu Bei lose the trust of scholars, and it became difficult to recruit talents in the future.

The flat-headed people who didn't know how many big characters were shaking their heads, feeling that Liu Bei was really unkind. It's just that they are not under Liu Bei's rule now, and this kind of thing can only be used as a conversation after a teapot dinner.

And the family slowly excluded Liu Bei from the range of objects they might seek refuge in the future. Think about it, you are so vicious to your brothers, if you deal with a family that has nothing to do with you, it won't be a white knife in and a red knife out. For the sake of their own family business, the family knows how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and they can't let Liu Bei appear in front of their eyes.

This is the most fatal blow to Liu Bei, and it also creates a lot of trouble for Liu Bei in the future.

Many people in Jingzhou were boiling, and some people with good intentions finally understood why the four gates of Xiangyang City were closed before, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. It turned out that such a thing happened.

Many Jingzhou families were originally a little optimistic about Liu Bei, and they also had the intention of leaving a way back for their family, and their attitude towards Liu Bei was very ambiguous, and they also kept in touch with Liu Bei in private. The main reason is that Liu Yu has not made any arrangements for the family in Jingzhou so far, and it seems that he has no intention of taking them into account at all. Families always have to plan for their families.

But now that they knew about it, the family immediately cut off the connection with Liu Bei. This rumor must have been spread by Liu Yu, and many families heard that Liu Yu had sent someone to assassinate Liu Bei, but in vain. Even the assassination came out, which means that Liu Yu is going to take Liu Bei seriously. In case Liu Yu finds out that they still have contact with Liu Bei, when the time comes, their whole family will have to walk in the guillotine.

When Cao Cao of Shouchun received the news, he immediately ordered people to investigate the authenticity of the matter. When he learned that this rumor had been circulating from Xiangyang, Cao Cao felt that Liu Yu must have done it.

"Fengxiao, is it true that you said Liu Bei?" Cao Cao found his most powerful think tank, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, to discuss.

Guo Jia said with great certainty: "Lord, with Liu Yu's character, there is a good chance that this matter is true. ”

Cao Cao nodded, Liu Yu has never liked to be fake, judging from the situation of getting along and opposing Liu Yu for so many years, Liu Bei really attacked his brother.

"I didn't expect Liu Xuande to be such a person. It seems that Lone underestimated him. It's just that why is Bo Xuan so jealous of Liu Xuande? Cao Cao was very puzzled by this.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord." Liu Bei seems to be loyal, but in fact, the city government is very deep, and I am afraid that his heart is not small. Maybe Liu Yu saw this and targeted it like this. Lord, weren't you already calculated by Liu Bei a long time ago? ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally smiled: "Since Liu Xuande is so resentful of Bo Xuan, then he can contain part of Bo Xuan's troops, which is very beneficial to us." It seems that Lone still has to send someone to comfort Liu Xuande and let him continue to work hard. In this way, leave this matter to Fengxiao to do. Remember, we're very nervous right now, so it's good to soothe it verbally. ”

Guo Jia also smiled, but the smile was treacherous. Cao Cao just sent someone to comfort Liu Bei, but there was no actual assistance at all, and it was typical for Liu Bei to take the sword and fight with Liu Yu, while Cao Cao was waiting to pick peaches behind his back.

Liu Xie in the palace also received the news, and his uncle Dong Cheng had slowly mastered part of the power, and some intelligence and news could be received, so that Liu Xie would not become a puppet who didn't know anything.

After listening to Dong Cheng's report, Liu Xie sighed and said, "The Han family is unfortunate!" ”

Liu Xie once fantasized that other princes could come to King Qin, and he also admired Liu Bei, the imperial uncle who was dedicated to supporting the Han family, Liu Xie always felt that they were all from the same ancestor and should be much more reliable than others. But Liu Bei was actually such a person, which completely broke the illusion in Liu Xie's heart. Liu Xie had to remove this hope from Liu Bei.

Without Liu Bei, when there are powerful princes today, and they are also relatives of the Han family, Liu Zhang of Yizhou is left. But even if Liu Xie didn't walk out of the Shouchun Palace, Liu Zhang's name as the dog of the household had been heard. If you want Liu Zhang to come to King Qin or attack Liu Yu, unless someone gives Liu Zhang a hard slap on the head, it is impossible to see any actions of Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Liu Xie returned to his harem dejectedly and asked his concubines to soothe his injured little liver.

Liu Zhang, who was lamented by Liu Xie, also received information about Liu Bei.

But unexpectedly, Liu Zhang did not see Liu Bei's personality clearly, but felt wronged by Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande is really unlucky. What a good person, there would be rumors to attack him. Liu Zhang said resentfully.

The subordinates around Liu Zhang were a little embarrassed, and thought: Lord, your brain is fine. What a wise person the old lord is, why is the lord like this?

Huang Quan, a famous scholar in Shuzhong who was very loyal to Liu Zhang, explained to Liu Zhang: "My lord, Liu Bei's poisoning of Zhang Fei may be true. In fact, this can be analyzed like this....."

Huang Quan had the heart to explain to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang was not in the mood, waved his hand and said, "No need to say anything." The Honshu pastor believes that Brother Xuande is a human being. When he was in Youzhou, Benzhou Mu met Brother Xuande and knew him very well. Honshu Mu concluded that Brother Gentoku would not do such a thing. You must arrest all the people who spread rumors in Yizhou. Honshu Mu didn't want to hear any more slander against Brother Xuande. ”

The strategist and literati beside Liu Zhang were suddenly speechless, Lord, where did you get your confidence, if Liu Bei was really the same as you thought, this message would have been self-defeating. Although these people did not agree with Liu Zhang's meaning so much, they had no choice but to do what Liu Zhang told them.

Zhang Song secretly laughed to himself: "The brain is a good thing. It's a pity that Liu Jiyu didn't. ”

Zhang Song may not know that Liu Zhang has a bolder idea in his heart, but he didn't say it.

On Jiangdong's side, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at the information in their hands.

"Liu Bei actually poisoned Zhang Fei? It's true? Sun Ce said with some skepticism: "Could this be Liu Yu's strategy?" ”

Jiangdong is the closest to Jingzhou and gets the fastest information. Moreover, Zhang Fei's participation in Liu Yu, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also knew very well. I was a little skeptical that this was Liu Yu's conspiracy.

Zhou Yu asserted: "This may not be Liu Yu's conspiracy. With Liu Yu's style, he would not do such a slanderous thing. I'm afraid that Liu Bei really poisoned Zhang Fei. ”

"But Liu Bei is a brother to Zhang Fei for many years." Sun Ce still believes in brotherhood, and his brotherly relationship is good.

"The heart is separated from the belly. You can't look at other people by your standards. What's more, it's a hero like Liu Bei. Zhou Yu said lessons.

In fact, what Sun Ce is a little better than the other princes is his true temperament. As long as he treats Sun Ce sincerely, even if this person is an enemy, Sun Ce can treat him with sincerity. But this kind of character is very easy to lose.

If Sun Ce can be explained by Zhou Yu in a sentence or two, then it won't be him. Sun Ce has a skill, that is, if he doesn't want to hear something, he will immediately change the topic, or react passively.

"Gong Jin, what should we do next? This Liu Bei is guarding the southwest of Jiangdong for us, if Liu Beijun is unstable. It's very bad for me Koto. Sun Ce's passive skills began to react.

Zhou Yu smiled: "Of course, I sent someone over to comfort Liu Bei." By the way, we would like to express our support for Liu Bei, so that he can continue to work for us in the Public Security Port. ”

"Okay, that's it? I'll leave that to you. I promised them that I would teach them martial arts today. Went first. Sun Ce turned his head and disappeared in front of Zhou Yu.

"This Bo Fu. It really hasn't changed at all. Zhou Yu smiled to himself.

Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the Gong'an Harbor and thought in his heart: "Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but there is a hidden evil intention in the mainland. It seems that he should have been guarded against earlier. ”

Liu Bei, who was fainted by Li Guiqi, was carried back by Wei Yan. After Lang Zhong's careful treatment, Liu Bei woke up leisurely. Liu Bei's willpower is strong, if he hadn't been injured just now and had shed a lot of blood, he wouldn't have fainted in front of Wei Yan and the soldiers. When he woke up this time, Liu Bei's purpose was very simple, he had to cheer up again.

The first thing Liu Bei did when he woke up was to hold a very important funeral for Jian Yong.

Liu Bei had no opinions, and resolutely supported Liu Bei's decision.

Jian Yong had no children, so Liu Bei found some children to cry for Jian Yong.

After tossing for a day, Liu Bei buried Jian Yong in a feng shui treasure with tears in his eyes, facing the direction of Youzhou.

Liu Bei swore in front of Jian Yong's grave that one day he would avenge Jian Yong, and if he captured Youzhou in the future, he would definitely transfer Jian Yong to Youzhou for burial.

After an impassioned remark, Liu Bei's side seemed to have regained a little morale.

But Liu Bei didn't be happy for long, and the news about his poisoning and assassination of Zhang Fei had spread throughout the entire Gong'an Port.

"Immediately send someone to arrest all these people who spread rumors and make trouble!" Liu Bei was anxious, his ass was not clean, but he didn't want others to know.

Xu Shu quickly came to Liu Bei's side and said, "Lord, I'm afraid I can't control it now." It's like this in the public security port. In the next conclusion, the rest of the places must be circulating. ”

Liu Bei's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
