Chapter 480 Liu Bei's embarrassment
Of course Liao Li was sent by Liu He. He pretended to join Liu Bei and offer advice to Liu Bei, but in fact he was a traitor Liu He arranged around Liu Bei. Originally, this matter could not be hidden from Zhuge Liang, because using time is also a kind of strategy. The combination with Guo Jia raised the intelligence of this strategy to 145. Even if Zhuge Liang's intelligence reached 125, he still couldn't see through this point, not even Liao Li's loyalty.
Liu Bei naturally couldn't see through the arrangement with Liu He. Not only that, but after talking with him, he found that Liao Li had outstanding intelligence and extraordinary insight. He bought a very rich gift and ordered Liao Li to go to Chang'an with a very solemn etiquette.
"Liao Li, the envoy of the lower state, met Duke Qin." After arriving in Chang'an, Liao Li immediately went to see Liu He. When paying homage to Liu He, he even winked to express that the trip was going well.
"Mr. Liao is not polite. I don't know why Mr. Liao is coming to Chang'an." Although he already knew the purpose of Liao Li's trip, and many people in the tent knew Liao Li, Liu He still pretended to be I don't know the general, and I ask questions with a smile.
I saw Liao Li said: "The next official was ordered by my Duke Shu to come to see Duke Qin. Duke Qin also knows that there have been constant wars between our army and Jiangdong Army recently. Although we are generally weak, we can still We could barely hold on, but God did not bless our army. Fazheng, the No. [-] army commander of our army, suddenly died of illness a few days ago, which caused Zhou Yu to use tricks to break Linjiang City. My Duke Shu had no choice but to recruit General Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang from the south The military division came to Berkshire to defend against Zhou Yu, so it was no longer possible for the southern border to resist Tai Shici's attack. In just over a month, the six counties of the southern border surrendered. County, but this is only temporary. After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, and it is still inevitable that they will be defeated in the end. Therefore, after discussion, my Duke Shu decided to attach the whole country. At the same time, he also decided to accept the son as a pledge. In Chang'an, I hope Qin Gongyun will approve."
"Hey, if my prediction is correct, are you trying to pull a tiger's skin and try to pull the flag? You are relying on my power and prestige to suppress Sun Zhongmou so that he dare not touch you, but you are taking the opportunity to accumulate strength and strengthen yourself. We have offended Sun Quan. , but you took the opportunity to gain benefits, you are quite thoughtful. If you don't give us corresponding benefits, we will not suffer this kind of loss." Although he was acting, Liu He still acted very vividly. In future generations, he will look like a movie king-level existence.
Liao Li heard the words and said loudly: "Duke Qin's words are wrong. Duke Qin and Duke Shu are both clan relatives of the Han Dynasty. They were originally a family, and they had the same purpose of revitalizing the Han Dynasty. Now Duke Shu chooses to attach themselves. For one thing, this is the blessing of the community. As the people of the world, Duke Qin should not only focus on self-interest and ignore justice. What's more, my Duke Shu also promised that as long as Duke Qin agrees, we will pay Duke Qin every year. Tens of millions of money, ten thousand pieces of Sichuan brocade, this is the bottom line of our promise, if Duke Qin refuses to agree, my Duke Shu will surrender to Sun Quan."
"This... what Mr. Shu said is true. I am the Duke of Qin of the Han Dynasty, and I bear the expectations of all the people. How can I ignore justice and talk about private interests? I agreed to Duke Shu's request, but there is a saying that a gentleman cannot I am afraid that if I try to deceive others, I will be just but others will be selfish. Therefore, I hope that in order to prove my sincerity, Duke Shu will send the eldest son to Chang'an as a guest. Please rest assured that I will not I have treated him badly, and the property promised by Duke Shu will be delivered regularly. I am not coveting that property, but it is just your mortgage. As long as you do not violate the agreement, I will definitely return the property. Once you break your promise, then I can only confiscate the property and kill the eldest son."
"Haha, Lord Qin, please rest assured that my Lord Shu will keep his promise and never dare to break it. Within a month, my lord will send the eldest son and his belongings to Chang'an." Liao Li laughed and said to Liu He Changyi said.
Then Liu He ordered a banquet for the envoys of the Shu army at night. During the banquet, Liao Li, the envoy of the Shu army, whispered a stick of incense with Liu He. Liao Li nodded frequently and praised Liu He's benevolence loudly, but he didn't know what Liu He said. what...
Half a month later, Liao Li returned to Chengdu and told Liu Bei the results of the talks between the two parties. After hearing Liu He's words, Liu Bei secretly slandered, because Liu He was so good at pretending, those words made people feel sick, but no matter it was For the sake of property and proton, it is still so-called righteousness. Anyway, Liu He has already agreed, which makes Liu Bei very happy, but when he heard that Liu Feng was going to be sent to Chang'an immediately as a hostage, his complexion changed immediately, and he sighed He said: "It's nothing more than belongings, but Feng'er has made a lot of contributions to my beloved son over the years. How can I send him to Chang'an and let his life be threatened at any time?"
Liao Li hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, and said, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say or not?"
"Say it, I won't blame you."
"No, my lord, please forgive me for saying something that I should not have said. Although the eldest son is the son of the lord, he is only the adopted son. If there was no second son before, then the lord would naturally appoint the eldest son as the heir, but now the lord has The second son, and the second son is still so smart, if the lord keeps the eldest son by his side all the time, and let him continue to make meritorious service and build up prestige, once the lord is a hundred years later, will the lord choose the second son or the first son? My son, I am afraid that the eldest son is afraid of the second son's own birth, or the second son is relying on his own birth. Sooner or later there will be a fight between them. If the lord wants to establish the second son, then he can't let the eldest son be by his side. Now let the eldest son come forward. Going to Chang'an can not only resolve the crisis of the lord, but also help the lord to establish a second son..."
When Liu Bei heard this, his face darkened immediately, and he said in a low voice: "Gongyuan forbids speaking, although Feng'er is a locust, I have always treated him as my own, never treated others, and never thought of not letting him do it." My heir, but there is one thing you said is right, Feng'er, as my son, naturally has to solve my problems, this time he is attached to Duke Qin, the first great contribution is made by my son, you go back and prepare, tomorrow Early in the morning, send the eldest son to Chang'an, and when you arrive in Chang'an, tell Duke Qin that the property will arrive soon, and ask him to announce the matter of our army's attachment as soon as possible, so as to put pressure on Sun Quan and order him to retreat."
"No, my lord is really the lord of benevolence and righteousness." Of course Liao Li knew that Liu Bei had actually made up his mind to sacrifice Liu Feng. What he said just now was just a beautiful excuse, but he didn't tell the truth, but pretended to be confused, and He praised Liu Bei endlessly, and then went down to prepare.
