Zheng Tai and Jia Xi really haven't realized this yet.
They never realized that if Liu Bei could destroy the Yuan family, he could also destroy them, even easier.
They just felt shocked, felt that their three views were ruined, and felt that their long-established perception of Liu Bei was shattered.
The warm winter sun has disappeared.
The scorching summer sun was right in front of them, emitting an extremely hot and dazzling light that was unbearable for them.
Jia Xi fell to the ground and pointed at Liu Bei, his hands trembling.
"Liu...you...you are so arrogant?"
Zheng Tai also pointed at Liu Bei with a look of disbelief on his face, his lips turning purple with anger.
"Liu Bei...don't you think you can really dominate the world? Don't you think you can do whatever you want without us?"
Liu Bei looked at the two men without any reflection and shook his head.
"Meat-eaters are despicable and fail to make far-sighted plans. The ancients did not deceive me. Are you eating too much meat and clogging your brain? Do you really think that it is because of you that I am where I am today? No, no, no.
Right? Do you really think so?"
Seeing the mocking expression on Liu Bei's face, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were really furious.
"Liu Bei! You are such a disrespectful person! Do you really want to break up with us?!"
"Liu Bei! Don't think that your status as the head of a prestigious family is really as secure as Mount Tai!"
"As long as we all agree, your status as a member of a prestigious family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, will not be so secure!"
"Whatever I gave you back then, I can get it back now!"
They seemed to really think that this method would have a great deterrent effect on Liu Bei.
But they were disappointed, because Liu Bei's expression was still the same... mocking.
"You could indeed take it away at that time, but now, it's not up to you, and you don't really think I value this identity, do you?"
Liu Bei sneered: "Whether it is a noble, a scholar, a powerful man, or a common man, it is meaningless at this moment. Rather, I never care about this. Do you think these things can threaten me?"
"you……"
"Confused! As long as I have an army in hand, as long as the army listens to me, can you fight me?"
Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "Let me tell you, your so-called nobles and nobles are all based on a peaceful and prosperous age. Without peace and prosperity, when there is war and chaos, who cares whether you are a noble or noble? And how do you come to a peaceful and prosperous age?
Depend on the troops at hand!
In other words, the person in charge of the army is the one you rely on. You must work hard to please him, please him, make him happy, and satisfy him. Only in this way will he give you a noble status and make you feel superior.
Opportunity to dominate!
If the person who controls the army is your enemy, you will die in an ugly way. Why was Emperor Gao able to trample the Confucian scholar’s hat under his feet back then? Wasn’t it because he controlled the army? Why did the Confucian scholar shamelessly ask for help?
Emperor Gao? Also because he controls the army!
Therefore, you should please me, please me, and do everything possible to satisfy me, instead of standing on my opposite side and becoming my enemy! The army is the most important, and force is the most important. The final word is force.
Ah you two idiots!"
Liu Bei's words were quite rude, so he almost made Zheng Tai and Jia Xi angry to death.
Zheng Tai's face turned green with anger.
"Do you think those brave warriors can achieve anything? Do you think you can stabilize the world with those brave warriors? You can conquer the world, can you dominate the world?!"
"Then I don't need you. There are so many knowledgeable people who are willing to curry favor with me that they can line up from Luoyang to Chang'an."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be the same without you? Even if I kill you all, what will happen?"
"Aren't you afraid that the world will rise up and attack?"
Jia Xi said angrily: "You dare to kill us? Are you not afraid of death without a burial place!?"
"Afraid, but so what?"
Liu Bei spread his hands: "Don't you still die before me? Even if I am going to die, I can still wipe out your three tribes first. By the time the world rises up to attack, your corpses will have turned into loess. What will happen to you?"
Say, what’s the point?
You think that if I kill you, the people of the world will turn against me and attack me in groups, eventually leading to my death. So what? You can’t see what you want to see. You exchange your own lives for other people’s.
Enjoy it, is it worth it?”
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were stunned.
Think along the lines of Liu Bei's words.
Hey, that’s really what I meant.
If we die, the whole world will attack. Even if we can win, what good will it do to us?
All the benefits have been taken up by those who came late, and we have long been turned into loess!
so……
There was nothing they could do against Liu Bei?
And Liu Bei has the ability to kill them all at any time?
this……
It seems a little bad.
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi's expressions looked as if they had eaten a lump of three-hundred-year-old rice. They looked at Liu Bei's arrogance, but could do nothing about him.
Although they still think that Liu Bei will not attack them or really kill them, but...
They also cannot let Liu Bei protect their interests in the upcoming new system.
If the officials of their faction really fail to fulfill Liu Bei's requirements and are replaced by Liu Bei on a large scale, their political interests will be seriously damaged or even wiped out in one fell swoop.
Just like when Liu Bei dealt with Yuan's disciples, former officials and Jinwen School's vassals, he was so fierce and decisive, and then, their path to advancement might be cut off by Liu Bei in various ways.
Their disciples and disciples may lose their simple and casual path to promotion, and may even need to go through difficult involution before they can obtain official positions. The influence of the Fanyue family will be severely limited.
Although the Wenyue family without political energy can still guarantee their status, everything except status cannot be guaranteed.
This... what is this!?
Zheng Tai took a deep breath.
"Liu Bei, are you serious?"
"Extremely serious."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "This time, there is no need to talk. The big man has already reached the key intersection. Where to go is no longer a matter that can be delayed. I could make peace with you before, but now, it is no longer possible. Times are changing.
It’s changed, I need more, I can’t give you any more.”
Zheng Tai couldn't understand the mysterious words Liu Bei said, but what he could understand was that Liu Bei rejected his interest exchange proposal and wanted to confront them head-on and forcefully seize their interests, which jeopardized their core interests.
They can't stand it.
"Liu Bei, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the entire army. There are many things in the world that the army cannot solve!"
"That's because the person in charge of the army has too many worries. If he loses all hope, becomes careless, and is strong enough, how will you respond?"
Liu Bei looked at Zheng Tai with a smile, as if he were looking at a corpse.
"The most stupid thing in the world is to force an opponent with a powerful army to go to a dead end. If he goes to a dead end, the only thing he has to do is to take his enemy with him.
I really don’t think we can rely on the army to solve all our troubles, but I think we can rely on the army to solve all our enemies. If you want to try it, I wouldn’t mind playing with you to see who dies first.”
