The road to Shu is rugged and the road is bumpy, but there are beauties along the way.

Liu Yu held Master Li's fragrant shoulder, tasted the fresh cherries sent to his mouth by the slender jade fingers, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but be intoxicated: "The scenery of Bashu is really beautiful and magnificent, if one day I can become the master of this land, I will live up to this life!" ”

"The general now has 70,000 elite soldiers, strong soldiers and horses, sufficient food and grass, if he has the heart to compete for the world, he may not be able to achieve a hegemony." Master Li smiled skillfully, stretched out his jade hand and filled Liu Yu's mouth with a cherry again, and quietly bewitched Liu Yu.

Liu Yu sighed: "It's difficult! Now that the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty is like a tiger, sweeping half of the country, and the number of troops under his command has expanded to 800,000, my people are not worth mentioning at all. Cao Cao, who was entrenched in the north, sat on the two states of Hebei and Erzhou, as well as most of the land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, with 400,000 armor. The Western Han Dynasty has three heroes, and the total strength is more than 300,000, even Sun Ce, who is still alive, still controls part of the land in Jingnan, and there are more than 100,000 remnants...... I'm completely out of the world here! ”

"But the general has the king of Hanzhong as his backer, and Bashu has a lot of troops." Master Li stroked/stroked his hair, full of style.

Liu Yu let go of the arm holding Master Li, sat cross-legged in the carriage, closed his eyes and concentrated: "Master, it's rare to have such a confidante as you, I will open my heart and communicate with you today." For a hero, not seeing hope is undoubtedly the most painful. ”

"I'll pour the general a glass of wine." Master Li smiled sweetly, took the wine glass and wine jug and poured Liu Yu full of wine glasses.

Liu Yu took the wine glass handed by Master Li, raised his head and drank it all. looked a little pained: "Once, I also thought that I could achieve great things by following my brother. I willingly die for my brother, hoping that one day our brother can regain the glory of our ancestors. Our ancestors, Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and Liu Xiu's ancestor, Liu Fa, are both sons of Emperor Jing. As the so-called emperor takes turns, his descendants of Liu Xiu have made the Han dynasty into a miasma and fragments, and it is time for our Zhongshan King Jing to rule the world. ”

Master Li poured Liu Yu a full glass of wine again, with a deferential expression.

Liu Yu turned the wine glass in his palm and continued: "It is with the same dream that I am willing to shed blood for my brother, and go to the soup to die. In case something happens to my brother, I will inherit the throne. Revitalize our Zhongshan Jingwang lineage. ”

"But Princess Gan gave birth to a dou prince for the king of Hanzhong a few days ago, and you disappointed the general?" Master Li tried to arouse Liu Yu's hatred for Liu Bei.

Liu Yu looked up to the sky again and sighed, and drank all the wine in the cup: "My brother has a son in his old age, and there is a successor, so I am naturally full of joy......"

"Another drink, General!"

Master Li quietly filled Liu Yu's wine glass again, although he didn't say much, he could see that Liu Yu's words were insincere. Since the news of Adou's birth and Liu Bei's successor reached Hanzhong, Liu Yu's spirit has suffered a great blow, and he is often alone in a daze. is depressed, it can be seen that Adou's birth has become Liu Yu's heart disease, not at all like he said.

"My brother has an heir, I am naturally happy for him, if one day my brother dies. I must willingly assist Adou to be a competent Uncle Wang. What I mind in my heart is that before this, my brother actually accepted Liu Feng as a righteous son! Liu Yu raised his head again and drank all the wine in the cup, "Fill it for me!" ”

"General, drink slowly. This liquor from Jinling is not as strong as the turbid liquor in the past. Drinking too much hurts your body. "Master Li just shows the charm of a woman, not just a sultry appearance. We must know how to be gentle and intimate.

Master Li peeled a few cherries and filled them into Liu Yu's mouth, waving a lotus root-like jade arm to tap Liu Yu's back, "The general eats a cherry to press the wine." ”

Liu Yu re-grabbed Master Li's fragrant shoulders, and his eyes were a little moist: "I don't mind if my brother passes on the throne to his heir, after all, this is a matter of course, but what kind of thing is he Liu Feng?" The son of the Kou family in Jingzhou, formerly known as Kou Feng, is a complete outsider, why did his brother accept him as a righteous son? ”

"Could it be that the king of Hanzhong would rather pass the throne to his son than to the general?" Master Li felt sorry for Liu Yuming.

"Liu Xuande's heart is known to the world!" Liu Yu looked indignant, "I, Liu Yu, have been fighting for him for half my life, and in his heart, I am not as good as a nobody!" If it weren't for Adou's birth, I'm afraid that Liu Xuande would rather let Liu Feng succeed to the throne than let me inherit his inheritance. ”

"Wouldn't it? Even if the king of Hanzhong accepted Liu Feng as his righteous son, it would be impossible to pass the throne to him? After all, Kou Feng is a person with a foreign surname, and he has no blood relationship with the Liu family, and the general, you are the queen of Gaozu, and you are the same as the king of Hanzhong, you are the descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan. Master Li filled Liu Yu's wine glass again.

"Yes, he Liu Xuande will definitely be!" Liu Yu was furious, "I can see that Liu Bei is a guy with no ancestors, deceiving the world and stealing his name in the name of a descendant of the Han family, and specializing in doing things that are biased towards outsiders." Look at him, in addition to his righteous son Liu Feng, he also has his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in Liu Bei's heart, they are his relatives! ”

The more Liu Yu spoke, the more excited he became: "Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to raise troops to garrison Shangyong, and let Zhang Fei lead a large army to attack Jiangling, but let me sit in the rear and supply them with grain and grass." Let his two sworn brothers go to reap the merits, but let me make them a stepping stone, I am unwilling! On martial arts, on the use of soldiers, on strategy, where am I better than Guanzhang? Brother, why did he treat me like this? Huang Zhong is destroyed, the tile kettle is thundering, how unfortunate I Liu Yu is! ”

Master Li once again complained for Liu Yuming: "What the general said is extremely true, you have recruited troops and horses in Hanzhong in the past few years, forged armor, and trained the elite soldiers under your command to strengthen the horses and horses, and everyone in the world said that the strongest soldiers and horses under the command of the king of Hanzhong were the first to recommend Hanzhong." In terms of the use of soldiers, generals, you don't lose anyone, and Guan Zhang is naturally even more insignificant; The king of Hanzhong doesn't need you to be a general, it's really a pearl and a hidden cast, burying the hero! ”

Liu Yu snorted coldly: "Liu Bei's move is not a secret investment of Mingzhu, but a distrust of me!" Compared with my cousin, he trusts Guan Yu and Zhang Fei more, he is afraid that I will be big, and he is afraid that my prestige will increase day by day and pose a threat to him, so he desperately suppressed me and did not let me go to the front line to make contributions. ”

Master Li looked regretful: "The king of Hanzhong is really too much, you are loyal to the general in vain!" Since he is unkind, why should the general be righteous again, why not replace him? ”

The depression and pain on Liu Yu's face slowly disappeared, and became deep and unfathomable: "Master, you are really my confidante, and I think so in my heart." Guan Yu sold his reputation, for fear of being a traitor, and delayed using troops against Liu Wei, which caused him to have a dislike between him and Liu Bei, this is the best opportunity for me! ”

Master Li was shocked in his heart, and remained silent on the surface: "What does the general plan to do?" ”

Liu Yu picked up the flask and poured a glass himself, took a sip and said: "I came to Chengdu this time to celebrate Adou's birth, and the real purpose is to persuade Liu Bei to hand over Shangyong's military power to me. After I control Shangyong and Hanzhong, and have more than 100,000 troops, I don't have to swallow Liu Bei anymore. ”

"Will the king of Hanzhong hand over the power of the army to the general?" Master Li snuggled in Liu Yu's arms and asked softly.

Liu Yu drank the wine in the cup again: "It's up to you!" ”

"Rely on me?" Master Li was taken aback again, "I'm just a little woman, how can I help the general?" ”

Liu Yu did not directly answer Master Li's words, but looked at Master Li affectionately: "Master, how have I treated you Liu Yu in the past six months?" ”

Master Li looked grateful: "The general loves the division in thousands of ways, and he obeys his words. As long as the division wants, the general will do it, and the general also promoted my brother Li Ke from the lieutenant of Chuyang County to the commander of Nanzheng County. ”

"However, I haven't given you a name so far." Liu Yu stroked Master Li's cheek, his eyes full of pity, "Do you know why?" ”

"I don't know!" Master Li shook his head.

Liu Yu tightened Master Li's grasp: "Master, for the sake of my future hegemony, I have decided to dedicate you to Liu Bei." But don't worry, in the future, when I succeed in my hegemony, I will definitely give you the title of princess or even the princess, so that you can be the mother of the world. I can't bear you, I also want to be with you day and night, but I must now try to gain Liu Bei's trust in order to gradually control the power of Bashu, teacher, everything depends on you! ”

Master Li had a contradictory look on his face: "In order to repay the general's kindness, the master is willing to do anything for the general!" It's just that the division doesn't know how to help the general? ”

Liu Yu said solemnly: "Actually, you don't have to think too complicated, you just need to lurk beside Liu Bei and reveal his behavior, words and deeds to me." In addition, try your best to help me obtain the power of the mediocre army, in addition, you have to do your best to destroy the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if you can trick Liu Bei into killing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is naturally the best. ”

Master Li snuggled in Liu Yu's arms expressionlessly: "The master is not a title, and he does not want to be a mother in the world, just to repay the general's love, I am willing to act according to the general's words." ”

Seeing that the success had persuaded Master Li, Liu Yu's heart was full of joy and made a promise to Master Li again: "Master, don't worry, when I achieve hegemony, I will definitely not forget today's promise!" ”

Two days later, Liu Yu's team passed through Mianzhu Pass and arrived at the north gate of Chengdu.

Liu Bei, who got the news, sent Du Ruhui and Wei Wentong out of the city to greet him and arranged Liu Yu in the post house. Liu Yu took a short rest, finished grooming, changed his clothes, and took Li Shishi and Shi Wengong straight to the mansion of the king of Hanzhong, asking to see Liu Bei. (To be continued......)
