Liu Bei was hesitant, but Sun Jian's face became obviously ugly.
Sun Jian was not the kind of person who kept his emotions secret. Although he did not insult Zhang Fei on the spot out of friendship with the landlord, the look of concern on his face was obvious.
Liu Bei was worried and didn't know how to deal with it. He was stunned for a moment.
Even if Zhuge Liang and other counselors were extremely resourceful, there was nothing they could do in the face of such a situation.
The scene was extremely embarrassing.
Zhuge Liang also felt guilty in his heart. It was he who made the suggestion to defect to Wu. According to original expectations, Liu Bei bore the title of an imperial uncle. Even if Sun Jian did not pay attention to him, superficial courtesy was always indispensable.
But I never thought that after arriving in Jiangdong, I would be so insulted.
In fact, now that the Han Dynasty has declined to the extreme, even the emperor himself is just a puppet in the hands of others. Although the title of emperor's uncle is useful in today's current situation, it is not as important as Zhuge Liang thought.
In Zhuge Liang's view, Liu Bei faced such an embarrassing situation, and he also had a great responsibility. As the saying goes, he was mainly worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and he was mainly concerned about the death of his ministers. Liu Bei was humiliated in Jiangdong, and the proposal to come to Jiangdong was made by Zhuge Liang. Therefore,
Zhuge Liang's inner suffering at this moment was no worse than Liu Bei's.
"My subordinate Liu Bei...see...my lord..." After a long silence, Liu Bei finally bowed to Sun Jian and said respectfully.
Liu Bei buried his head deeply. At this time, his expression must have been extremely bad, and he didn't want anyone to see it.
It was just the word "Lord", but Liu Bei spent all his strength to say it. After saying these two words, Liu Bei felt as if he was exhausted and looked extremely weak.
When Liu Bei said these words, everyone present behaved in different ways.
Zhuge Liang and others lowered their heads sadly, sighing for this final decision; Zhang Fei widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, and then a teardrop welled up from the corner of his eye; Jiangdong ministers looked surprised, and could not believe that Liu Bei was really
Sun Jian was appointed as the lord; Sun Jian himself looked happy after a brief surprise.
As for Zhou Yu, the initiator of all this, he was frowning slightly at this time, seeming to be thinking about something.
————————————————————————————————After Liu Bei worshiped Sun Jian as his master, Sun Jian followed Zhou Yu’s suggestion and beat Liu Bei up both civil and military.
Liu Bei himself was driven to Wucheng by Sun Jian to serve as the prefect, and then arranged two people beside him, who were called assistants but actually monitored. Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Chen Gong were left by Sun Jian to stay in Jianye to participate in the military affairs. These people were
If an extraordinary talent can seriously plan for Sun Jian, it will definitely be a great help. Zhang Fei and Chen Dao were ordered to assist General He Qi and go to the border to conquer Shanyue.
Although everyone was reluctant to leave Liu Bei's side, Zhang Fei was even more reluctant in every possible way, but under the eaves, he really had to bow his head.
As a result, Liu Bei really didn't have any help around him. In addition, he also had a deputy sent by Sun Jian to monitor him, making it very difficult for him to do anything.
Gan Ning, who came to Jiangdong with Liu Bei and others, left alone shortly after Liu Bei appointed Sun Jian as master.
Gan Ning is different from Zhang Fei and others. He and Liu Bei have not known each other for a short time and have no deep feelings.
It turned out that Gan Ning defected to Liu Bei, firstly because he and Zhang Fei were not acquainted with each other before fighting, and secondly because he admired Liu Bei's reputation.
But now, Liu Bei had disappointed Gan Ning so much that he even felt that Liu Bei was a deceitful person. As an uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was courageous and ignorant. He succumbed to Jiangdong's power even after being forced by Jiangdong.
How could Gan Ning be convinced by such a person?
Sun Jian also had a very bad impression in Gan Ning's heart. Liu Bei worked so hard to join him, but he treated him so harshly. This was simply a sign of narrow-mindedness in Gan Ning's view. Although it was not Sun Jian's intention to treat Liu Bei harshly, it was his intention.
Zhou Yu did what he did, and Zhou Yu also had his own intentions, but Gan Ning naturally didn't know this, and in his opinion, Zhou Yu would act like this, obviously because of Sun Jian's instruction.
Sun Jian was definitely not a wise master in Gan Ning's mind, so Gan Ning naturally had no intention of serving Sun Jian.
Therefore, Gan Ning had no intention of staying in Jiangdong. After leaving alone, he went back to the river to find his younger brother and become his Jinfan thief.
————————————————————————————————Three-line battles all ended with the victory of Cao’s army, but after the three lines of Cao’s army reorganized one after another
, Xuchang can be said to have fallen into great chaos.
Although the three-front battles all ended in victory for one's own side, the heavy losses Cao's army suffered on the third-line battlefields are also clear at a glance.
After the war ended, it was time for Cao Cao to liquidate everything.
Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and Sun Jian will have to deal with them sooner or later, but now is obviously not the time. The war has just ended, and the army needs to recuperate. If you want to take revenge, you can only wait for future opportunities.
Although Liu Biao and others cannot be dealt with temporarily, some people must be taught a lesson.
As the planner of this war, Dong Cheng was naturally involved. Although Dong Cheng himself had died long ago, the Dong family still existed. When the previous war was going on, Cao Cao did not want to cause trouble at a critical moment, so he did not take any action.
Now that the war is over, Cao Cao no longer has any scruples. The Dong family was brutally wiped out. More than a hundred members of the family were killed. The women were used as military prostitutes and all the men were killed!
The crime of colluding with the princes, intending to attack the imperial capital, and committing evil acts could not be easier to accuse. Even if some people question this, it is an indisputable fact that the three princes sent troops, and Dong Cheng is related to these three princes
, is also conclusive. Dong Cheng is indeed connected with the three princes, so the charge of colluding with the princes and having evil intentions cannot be said to be a deliberate frame-up by Cao Cao.
As for Fu Wan, who had a similar status to Dong Cheng, Cao Cao also accused him of treason and beheaded him in public. The Fu family soon followed in the footsteps of the Dong family and was exterminated by Cao Cao.
Even Empress Fu and Concubine Dong, who were married to the emperor, were ordered by Cao Cao to hang themselves. Their noble status in the harem was of no use in the face of Cao Cao's tyranny!
In fact, the Fu family has little to do with this war. The war was mainly planned by Zhuge Liang, and then fueled by Dong Cheng. Fu Wan did not participate much, at most he only knew about it. But Dong Cheng and Fu
They are all relatives of the same country, and they are both prosperous and devastated. Since Cao Cao ruthlessly wiped the Dong family from this world, it is only normal to deal with the Fu family conveniently.
It was difficult to overturn Dong Cheng's charge of rebellion, but Fu Wan's charge was very weak. However, Cao Cao completely ignored all opposition to Fu Wan's execution and acted arbitrarily, forcing the Fu family to die.
Cao Cao has been holding this breath for a long time. Ever since he served as Emperor, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan have always been against him. Now that he finally got a chance to vent, how could Cao Cao let it go so easily?
Once upon a time, Cao Cao also considered whether to try to ease the conflict between himself and the royalists. At that time, Cao Cao still had a trace of thoughts of reviving the Han Dynasty in his heart.
If the Emperor of Han is really capable and the Han Dynasty can really revive, then why not be a loyal minister to the Han Dynasty?
But as time goes by, the royalists have no idea of getting close to themselves. Instead, they have been working against themselves, trying to trip themselves up whenever they find a loophole.
Cao Cao's patience was exhausted bit by bit.
Then, he stayed in power longer and longer, his status became higher and higher, and his enemies were eliminated one by one. After Yuan Shao's death, Cao Cao was promoted from Sikong to Prime Minister and General, with unparalleled power in the world. Finally, his heart changed again.
It’s impossible to settle down!
And this war was the most direct trigger, pushing Cao Cao completely against the Han Dynasty. From then on, he could only be a cruel and powerful minister, and could no longer be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
The annihilation of the Dong family and the Fu family was Cao Cao's act of venting his anger, and it was also a signal he sent to the world - from now on, Cao Mengde will never be content to be a Han Dynasty minister, but will open up a new world.
My own world!
Cao Cao's arrogant and even cruel behavior naturally stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Kong Rong and other royalists began to mount a final stubborn resistance. Suddenly, many assassins appeared in Xudu who were looking for opportunities to take Cao Cao's life.
However, Cao Cao had two powerful men, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, taking turns to protect him, so the young men were not afraid at all. After a few days, not only was Cao Cao's life in danger, but his loyal ministers were accused of assassinating the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
A group of them were killed by machine, and the strength of the royalists was greatly reduced.
Even Kong Rong himself was captured and beheaded by Cao Cao!
You know, who is Kong Rong? He worshiped the Shaofu, served as a great official, and was a well-deserved important minister of the Han Dynasty! In addition, Kong Rong was also a great Confucian of the world, a celebrity admired by all literati, and a leader of the Qing Dynasty!
For such a person, Cao Cao actually killed him as soon as he asked, without caring about any possible negative consequences!
After Cao Cao killed Kong Rong, although there was great criticism among the government and the public, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction with Cao Cao. Although some scribes who admired Kong Rong resigned from Cao Cao's account, they were all just writing books.
People like Zuo were indifferent, and the reasons for resigning were all due to physical discomfort. No one dared to mention Kong Rong's death openly.
Cao Cao was "cruel and unkind", but no one dared to oppose him. Until this time, everyone suddenly realized that Cao Cao's power had become so powerful, and Cao Cao's tyranny was so terrifying!
Compared with Cao Cao today, Dong Zhuo back then was probably far behind.
