Xiangping.

Gongsun Du was also very happy when he heard that Liu Bei had sent an envoy again—he thought that Liu Bei was showing favor to him because the envoy he had sent to support Han Shizhong's army last time.

But when Sima Yi handed the letter to Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du opened it and looked at it a few times, his face suddenly darkened, and then he put the letter in the furnace next to him, and yelled: "Liu Bei Pifu deceived me too much!" Come on, pull Wei out and behead me! ”

Seeing Gongsun Du so angry, Meng Tian on the side hurriedly came out and said, "The king is angry!" The so-called two countries are at war without beheading, not to mention that my Liaodong and Liu Bei also had an alliance, it is better to ask about the situation first and then kill it! ”

Meng Tian naturally didn't know what was said in that letter, but he felt that he had already made enemies with Wu Liren, and if he had made enemies with Liu Bei again, the situation in Liaodong would be extremely dangerous at that time.

"Hmph, does General Meng think that this king is acting rashly? Do you know what Liu Daer wrote in the letter? He asked the king to provide him with 20,000 troops and 200,000 stones, grain and grass, and threatened the king, saying that if he didn't borrow it, then he would send troops to attack Liaodong. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liaodong was shocked - Liu Bei actually used this tone? Could it be that this messenger is a fake? It's just that the other princes sent to provoke the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Du.

Meng Tian didn't have anything to say, but he just looked at Sima Yi - wanting to see what justification he had before he died.

Sima Yi was expressionless, and said to Gongsun Du: "The king wants to kill Sima in Liaodong, just like killing a chicken!" It's just that the king of Liaodong knows that Liu Bei has taken 50,000 soldiers from Guan Zhang's second general Chen in Liaoxi? ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Du couldn't help but laugh and said, "You dare to threaten this king? How could this king ever be afraid of Liu Bei'er? ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said very calmly: "Has the king ever thought about why Liu Bei asked me to deliver this letter?" ”

"Liu Bei must have thought that this king would be afraid of him, hmph, he really underestimated my Liaodong boy!"

Sima Yi still looked indifferent, and continued: "Before I came, I had secretly read this letter, and when I saw the contents of the letter, I knew that Liu Bei wanted to kill me by the hand of the king. In this way, if Liu Bei wants to move troops in Liaodong, he will be able to become famous. ”

"Famous teacher? You don't look at what is written in his letter, if you let the world know, then he Liu Bei will definitely be scolded by the world, such a treacherous person, dare to say that the teacher is famous? ”

The more Gongsun Du talked, the more angry he became, and he almost got up and wanted to go up and teach Sima Yi a lesson in person.

Sima Yi's eyes caught a glimpse of the letter that had just been put on the horse by Gongsun Du who was still in the brazier, but said with a smile: "Huh? Where is the faith? Could it be that just by relying on the king's mouth, can the people of the world doubt the benevolent Liu Bei?"

"So what? Anyway, if you are clever today, you will not be able to escape today! Hmph, you eloquents will show off your eloquence, but this king will not eat this. ”

As soon as Gongsun Du waved his hand, he asked him to pull Sima Yi down, at this time Sima Yi's forehead was a little sweaty, his words couldn't convince Gongsun Du, then he was really killed by Gongsun Du like this.

At this moment, Meng Tian said again: "The king is slow, if Liu Bei really raises swordsmen, then Buyeo and Goguryeo will definitely take the opportunity to invade, if this dispute can be avoided, then try to avoid it, otherwise others will benefit from the fisherman." ”

Although Gongsun Du was a little unhappy with Meng Tian's straightforward character, he still suffered a big loss in the end from Han Shizhong's attack on Donglai, and he still valued Meng Tian's vision after all.

"If General Meng has anything to ask, just ask him directly! Anyway, Liu Bei Xiao'er dared to be so rude, and this king couldn't swallow this breath. ”

When Sima Yi saw that there was finally a smart person in Liaodong who said something, his heart finally relaxed a little, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "General Meng!" ”

"Is there any way for your envoy to save Liaodong from this war?"

Sima Yi nodded again and again, and then said: "Liu Bei values his reputation, and Yi is unwilling to serve him, so he wants to kill a certain person by the hand of the king of Liaodong." If the king really killed a certain person according to Liu Bei's wishes, it would not be a pity to die, but when Liu Bei could become famous, then Liaodong would be in a very unfavorable situation. Liu Bei's wolf ambitions, who doesn't know? At the beginning, he took refuge in Yuan Shao, but now he is mainly anti-guest and has destroyed the Yuan family. Now he is eyeing Liaodong, if it is really as he expected, kill Yi, then Liaodong is in danger! If the king still asked me to go back and restore my life because he didn't receive this letter, Liu Bei would definitely not dare to raise troops without authorization because he valued his reputation. In this way, Liaodong can be worry-free! ”

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Gongsun Du couldn't help but sneer: "Speaking of which, let this king let you go!" What real skills can such a timid person be afraid of death? ”

After hearing this, Sima Yi didn't say a word, immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to the guard behind him, "Come, kill me!" There are Liaodong people who can accompany me to the funeral, and my Sima Yi is in vain in this life! ”

Seeing Sima Yi's appearance of seeing death as home, Gongsun Du was not calm, at this time Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although Sima Yi's words have the intention of saving his life, but they are not unreasonable, if he is let go back, Liu Bei will have no reason to raise troops, and he will inevitably have some scruples; If he really kills him, although he can be quick for a while, it may put Liaodong in danger. ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a moment, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, let Sima Yi go back!" Liu Bei didn't dare to bear the name of harming talents, and neither did this king. Sima Yi, you go back and tell Liu Bei, just say that if he wants to have any intentions against my Liaodong, then come openly! This king is not afraid of him! ”

At this time, Sima Yi's tense nerves could finally be relaxed, but although he had escaped this catastrophe for the time being, and if he wanted to return to Yecheng, Liu Bei would definitely still find a way to deal with himself, and when he thought of this, Sima Yi's heart still couldn't let go.

This winter, the world seems to have suddenly changed from chaos to a period of peace, whether it is Xichuan, Liaodong, or Northern Xinjiang, all of them have eased, but everyone knows that such a seemingly peaceful moment is only the eve of the storm.

And in Xiapi, this year's Spring Festival is the least of the civil and military talents in Xiapi City. The war in Xishu has not stabilized, and the competition with Liu Bei is still in white heat, even Xiliang Ma Teng now needs to defend with all his might, and most of the military generals of Wenchen are outside and cannot come back.

But even so, the Spring Festival in Xiapi is still very lively, after all, all the people can see that their King of Zhou, whether it is territory or prestige, is far ahead of other princes, and since Liu Yi's death, no one has supported the descendants of the Han family as the new emperor, and then the winner is the king, and Wu Liren is naturally the real new monarch in the future.

At this time, Wu Liren got another piece of good news - Yue Fei, whom he sent someone to contact, finally had news at this time.

Wu Liren promised that as long as Yue Fei was willing to come back, he would not be guilty of everything Yue Fei had done before, and there would even be more rewards. But there was no response from Yue Fei before, and it was not until recently that Yue Fei sent someone to reply to Wu Liren. And the letter expressed his apologies for the past, and secondly, Yue Fei now finally recognized the facts of the day, although he wanted to serve the Han Dynasty, but now there are many clansmen surnamed Liu, and none of them can be supported. Even Liu Zhang, who was in Xichuan before, has now disappeared - and Liu Zhang's previous attitude towards the Han family was also ignorant, so he also expressed his willingness to submit.

Yue Fei went and returned, this is undoubtedly the news that Wu Liren wants to hear the most, and the current situation is also very good for Wu Liren. Wu Liren made headlines on the front page of the new issue of the "Great Weekly Times", with an analysis of the situation in the world, his thirst for talent, and his outlook for the future. He didn't reveal Yue Fei's affairs directly, but when Yue Fei returned to Zhou, everyone would take it for granted.

At this time, the Kushan Empire was different from China - it was completely like a peaceful era, there was no war, and there were no peasant uprisings, but at this time, the emperor of the Kushan Empire, Vesudeva I, was not easy at all.

The name Taiping Sect had appeared in his ears many times, and before he thought it was just a small religion, and he didn't take it seriously at all. But now the power of the Taiping Sect, as well as the people who follow it throughout the empire, account for one-third of the population. And Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Sect, is even more responsive, and he can eat more than him, the emperor.

"Father, the Taiping Sect has now become a big problem for my empire, and it must be eliminated!"

At this time, a heroic woman walked to Bo Tuo's side, Bo Tuo glanced at it, sighed and said: "But now many people believe that if they really kill Hong Xiuquan, I am afraid it will provoke a civil uprising!" ”

"Father, the Han people have a saying - when the judgment is constantly suffering, if you look forward to the future, I am afraid that even if you want to get rid of Hong Xiuquan and his Taiping Sect in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve."

Bo Tiao looked at the daughter in front of him, and said with some regret: "Joan of Arc, it's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise Guishan may be able to restore its former glory in your hands!" ”

This person is Joan of Arc, who was born a long time ago, she was implanted as the princess of Kushan, and now the Kushan Empire seems to be in decline, and the empire has lost control of the surrounding Dawan, Kangju and Khorezm. And the rise of the Taiping Sect made the Kushan Empire even more worried. For a long time, Bo Diao wanted to use Huairou's method to guide the Taiping Sect, but the effect was not obvious, and Hong Xiuquan's ability to bewitch people was far from what Bo Tiao had not expected.

The courtiers under his command also kept playing, wanting the empire to solve the Taiping Sect by force, but the wave was indecisive, so it has been delayed until now.

When Bo Tiao finally decided to send troops to suppress it, he heard that Hong Xiuquan actually led two of his subordinates Yang Xiuqing and Li Kaifang to revolt in Monilo, and the Taiping Sect members had the strongest power in Monilo, and at this time, there were Taiping Sect people in Monilo City, including the army. Hong Xiuquan raised troops in Monilo for two days, and then he completely controlled Monilo. Immediately afterwards, Hong Xiuquan took Monilo as the capital and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by force.

"Drop! Detected that Hong Xiuquan established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Manilo of the Kushan Empire, completed the story mission Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and obtained the system reward four-dimensional attribute +2, and the current four-dimensional attribute of Hong Xiuquan has been increased to 87 in force, 90 in command, 88 in intelligence, and 95 in politics. ”

Hearing the news of this system, Wu Liren had to sigh, this Hong Xiuquan can be regarded as a person with the halo of the protagonist, right? Born in the Three Kingdoms, or in Guishan, he even established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in such a short period of time, and he was alone! What a stroke of luck it must have been to complete such a story mission!

Manilo was lost, and the army of the Kushan Empire had just arrived at Monilo at this time, and the two sides began to fight - but the army of the Kushan Empire was defeated on all fronts under the blows of Yang Xiuqing and Li Kaifang at this time.

Bo Tiao didn't expect this to be the result, he executed the general who commanded the battle, and at the same time selected 30,000 elites to personally lead the troops and crusade against Hong Xiuquan.

It's just that this time, he was still defeated, and was burned by Hong Xiuquan with a fire trick, and even Bo Diao himself was burned, and fled back to Lan City, while Hong Xiuquan marched north in one go, captured Punjab, and for a time the Taiping Sect became famous, and the territory also accounted for one-third of the territory of the Kushan Empire, but Bo Tiao had no way at this time.

Joan of Arc came to see Bo Tune again, this time she wanted to personally lead the troops to crusade against Hong Xiuquan and his Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

It's just that Bo Diao didn't agree, looked at Joan of Arc, and said with a wry smile: "I know the situation of the empire better than you." Now it is unrealistic to want to fight Hong Xiuquan head-on. I once had a dream before, and I never told you, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that the things in this dream are about to come true. ”

Hearing this strange remark from the waves, Joan of Arc just listened quietly.

"My father once had a dream in which a god told me that the current Eastern Han Empire has a true destiny - and the Kushan Empire is about to face a huge disaster, and if you want the empire to survive this disaster, you must ask for help in person. Now that this Taiping Sect has suddenly risen, Hong Xiuquan is like a flood beast. Now that I think about it, isn't this exactly the disaster in my dream? And I have also sent someone to investigate, the current Han Dynasty is also in name only, the world is in chaos, and the most powerful prince is Wu Ming, the king of Zhou, so my father wants you to leave Guishuang and go to the Han Dynasty to find Wu Ming, the king of Zhou, and let him help us! ”

After hearing this, Joan of Arc seemed to be a little angry and said: "Father, when is this, I still believe in the things in my dream, my daughter is not talented, I am willing to raise 20,000 elite soldiers to crusade against the flood thieves!" ”
