Looking at Zhao Yun who was very grateful, Liu Xie suddenly felt sad for Liu Bei and realized the huge potential value of the emperor's identity.
In the same down-and-out situation, there were countless people like Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui who were willing to live and die for the court, but few were willing to follow Liu Bei. The emperor naturally owned the world, and Liu Bei had to do his best to preserve Xuzhou.
He was willing to leave a place for Liu Bei, but it was just empty words, but it was enough to make Zhao Yun feel his sincerity.
It is natural for Liu Bei to surrender to the court. Instead of surrendering, it will disappoint many people or be disdain.
Will Liu Bei not know how the Xuzhou tribes contempt him? That would be too underestimated by Liu Bei.
He just doesn't have a better choice.
"I heard that Liu Bei was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, can he have a legacy?"
Zhao Yun shook his head awkwardly. "I don't know very well."
Liu Xie smiled. Zhao Yun may not be unclear, but he may be embarrassed to say it. If there is indeed a strong evidence, Liu Bei would never be so low-key and would not show it to others.
Fortunately, he didn't care whether Liu Bei was right or not, he just wanted to throw out a bait.
"It's okay, let him ask the elders of the clan to see if anyone remembers it. Besides, Zhuo County and Zhongshan border, the ancestral tomb should still be there, so it's not difficult to sort it out. If you can verify it clearly and make contributions in the future, then
It’s okay to join the royal family.”
Zhao Yun was grateful and thanked again.
The emperor personally promised that Liu Bei's clan could be restored in the future, which was a great favor. If Liu Bei refused to return to the wrong path, he would be self-destructive and could not blame others.
"I will tell Xuande about His Majesty's favor, it's not easy to say a word."
Liu Xie nodded.
He made such a promise not only to give Liu Bei a chance, but also to Zhao Yun and Guan Yu.
The court was full of benevolence and righteousness. If Liu Bei refused to surrender, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu would no longer have the need to defend him. Righteousness comes first, no matter how good the personal relationship is, it can only be put aside.
Liu Xie talked with Zhao Yun for a long time, and there were both the gains and losses of recent military training and Liu Bei's struggle, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's personal nature.
He was not completely relieved that Guan Yu came to vote. After all, Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was hard for him to imagine that Guan Yu left Liu Bei and served the court just because of his disagreement of ideas.
Zhao Yun was very confident in Guan Yu.
He had two reasons: one was that Guan Yu was loyal, righteous and upright, and disdained to commit fraud. The other was that Guan Yu did not like literati and officials and hated Yuan Shao naturally. It was very normal for him to choose the court between the court and Yuan Shao.
With Zhao Yun's opinion, Liu Xie finally felt relieved.
After talking about the past and the present, they talked about their future plans.
For example, Xu Huang's suggestion.
Liu Xie had a certain understanding of ancient history, but his military was not professional enough. In his impression, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword was just a famous sword that was only found in the Romance of the Romance, and such weapons did not appear on the real battlefield.
The fact is the same now. Guan Yu used a spear, not a long sword.
But Xu Huang's suggestion has its reasonable ingredients. It may be better for Guan Yu, a strong man with a strong height and strength, to use a long sword.
It's just not as a cavalry, but as an infantryman.
He remembered the Modao Formation in the Tang Dynasty.
Modao is the use of a long sword in the infantry. The original origin may be the Han Dynasty's horse-killing sword. After coming to this world, Liu Xie learned about some situations, but found that there was no habit of using the horse-killing sword on the battlefield of the Han Dynasty.
The Sword of the Horse Sword is also known as the Sword of the Horse. It was made by Shangfang and worn by the Langguan in the palace. In addition to being better quality, it is not much different from ordinary swords in size.
Liu Xie consulted Zhao Yun about this question. Zhao Yun was familiar with both infantry tactics and cavalry tactics, and was the most suitable consultant.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun said, "I think there are two difficulties in this kind of tactic."
"Speak and listen."
"One is a man. Yun Chang is so majestic that he holds a long sword and kills people and horses. But whether such a person can form an army is really a question. Even if he is not as tall as Yun Chang, he is nine.
Ruler, eight feet or more is always needed.”
Liu Xie agreed with Zhao Yun’s view.
The height of the Han Dynasty was limited, and seven feet was the average number. According to later generations, it was only over 1.6 meters. Such height was definitely not a long soldier like Modao. The historical rumor of the Mass Sword was not a long soldier.
It is a short force that can be held with both hands.
Perhaps the appearance of Modao in the Tang Dynasty was related to its height?
"The second is sword and armor. The long sword of a hundred refinement can indeed cut armor, but it is not easy to use the long sword to equip thousands of people with a long refinement sword. Moreover, the long sword must be held with both hands, and cannot hold the shield, and can only be worn with armor.
If it is too heavy, it will consume too much physical strength and cannot fight for a long time. If it is too light, it will be difficult to withstand the close-range shooting of the cavalry and will be shot and killed before the battle will occur."
Liu Xie agreed and nodded repeatedly.
The sword is attack, and the armor is defense. The attack must be invincible, and the defense must be foolproof. Otherwise, if you carefully choose, spend countless manpower and material equipment, the long sword soldiers that have been equipped with will be shot and killed by the opponent before they can get involved in the battle, or even if they get involved in the battle,
If there is not enough lethality, it will be meaningless.
As far as the current smelting process is concerned, the armor cannot be shot at close range without any sense, and the weight is appropriate, and the knife cannot kill the armored cavalry. Some fierce men may be able to do it, but they do not have the meaning of promotion.
The Modao Team is the double peak of personal ability and metal smelting technology, and it is not so easy to achieve.
"Let Yun Chang try it first." Liu Xie finally made a conclusion.
Sooner or later, he will need a killer like Modao Team, and it is worth making some preparations in advance.
Zhao Yun was very satisfied with Liu Xie's arrangements. He was neither anxious to achieve success nor gave up easily. This was the demeanor that the emperor should have.
After saying goodbye and leaving the tent, Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at the night sky.
The night is already deep, the stars are bright, quiet and deep.
But he knew in his heart that the world was not peaceful, especially in Shandong, where storms were about to come.
Will Liu Bei accept the emperor's edict?
He doesn't know.
But he knew that Liu Bei had no better choice.
The emperor is wise, let alone Liu Bei, even Yuan Shao, who is the three masters of the fourth generation, will not have many opportunities.
Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were one of Yuan Shao’s half-brothers, and the other was Yuan Shao’s former subordinates, who chose to surrender to the court, which is a clear proof.
I hope Liu Bei can recognize this and not make mistakes again and again.
Zhao Yun returned to his tent, sat for a long time, and decided to write a letter to Jian Yong.
Writing a letter to Liu Bei may not be useful. People are in the situation and they will inevitably be confused. Jian Yong is one of the few advisers around Liu Bei, and he is deeply trusted by Liu Bei, so he may be a little more sober. He may give advice from others, which may be more direct than
It is more useful to persuade Liu Bei. Moreover, Jian Yong can not only persuade Liu Bei, but also Zhang Fei. Once Jian Yong and Zhang Fei hope to surrender to the court, Liu Bei had to consider his choice.
He can't gain a foothold in Xuzhou alone.
Guan Yu's departure should have given him enough reminder. With Liu Bei's personality, he will not be stubborn until he becomes a lonely man.
