Chapter 606 Liu Bei's Attitude

Liu Bei looked confused, his lips trembled slightly, he really didn't know how to answer, and his eyes showed confusion and helplessness.

Liu Maohai frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "I have given you so much time to think about it, there should be a result, right?"

His eyes were fixed on Liu Bei, showing the slightest bit of eagerness.

Liu Bei finally took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am unwilling to follow the rebellion, because... Xianbei will never defeat Xi Yu. Even an opponent like Cao Pi cannot defeat him, let alone Xianbei?"

His voice was firm and steady.

After hearing this, Liu Maohai's face instantly became gloomy, anger welled up in his eyes, and he was completely annoyed by Liu Bei's answer.

Liu Maohai couldn't listen to Liu Bei's words at this time. He was full of confidence and even whimsically believed that he would definitely win.

He stared at Liu Bei with eyes wide open and cursed: "You are a coward! A courageless waste!" His voice was full of anger and contempt.

Then, Liu Maohai continued to shout: "The first stop is to attack Fangjun. Get ready for me and wait for me to destroy you!"

He looked triumphant, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

After Liu Maohai left, Liu Bei's mood gradually calmed down, but his mind fell into deep thinking.

He was thinking to himself: "I hope to destroy Xi Yu more than anyone else. That has been my wish for many years. However, the current power is obviously insufficient. If we act rashly, I am afraid it will only cause more trouble." ”

Liu Bei was very confused.

He understands the consequences of acting impulsively.

He silently told himself in his heart: "You can't be carried away by impulse. You must think calmly and find the most suitable time."

At this time, he seemed to be relieved and felt a little settled.

He felt that he had made the right decision. Although this decision made him feel a little helpless, it could at least ensure his current safety.

On Xianbei's side, Tuoba Lu looked serious. He summoned several confidants to hold a meeting in a secret place.

Tuoba Lu looked at everyone with sharp eyes and said in a low voice: "We are going to join forces with Liu Maohai to attack Xi Yu. Everyone, be prepared and go back to make arrangements..."

His eyes showed determination and decisiveness.

After the meeting, his confidant Lu Zhe stayed.

He was a man with a thick beard and a rugged appearance.

Lu Zhe frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "This matter cannot be done rashly. We need to consider it in the long term."

Tuoba Lu's face instantly turned gloomy. He stared at Lu Zhe with his eyes wide open, and said angrily: "Lu Zhe, why are you opposing me today?"

Lu Zhe's expression looked a little helpless. He sighed and said softly: "Sir, this matter really needs careful consideration."

Tuoba Lu clenched his hands into fists and his chest heaved violently.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have made up my mind, no need to say anything else!"

Lu Zhe frowned and said firmly: "Sir, don't act impulsively, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. I have a better way."

Tuoba Lu took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He looked at Lu Zhe and said in a deep voice: "Okay, tell me what exactly happened."

Lu Zhe smiled slightly and said slowly: "It is definitely not a wise move to confront Xi Yu head-on. However, now there is an opportunity. We can use a trick on Liu Maohai and then hand him over to Xi Yu. In this way, we can win over Xi Yu. Yu has made great achievements there. I will be more confident in negotiating terms with Xi Yu in the future." His tone was calm and unhurried.

After Tuoba Lu heard this, he thought to himself, as if he felt that it made some sense.

After all, he is not from the Central Plains, and he does not pay attention to Confucian ideas of loyalty.

In his eyes, only interests are the most important.

Tuoba Lu's face suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said with satisfaction: "Haha, this is a good idea! Then our first stop is to attack Fangjun, right here, find a way Catch Liu Maohai."

Then, he turned his eyes, stared at Lu Zhe, and said seriously: "You should step back first. Don't tell anyone about this."

Lu Zhe bowed respectfully and then retreated silently.

On the other side, on the streets of Quanzhou, Song Shuwen and the doctor distributed medicine.

Song Shuwen told the doctors that they must not tell patients that these drugs may not be effective. They must make them think that they are miracle drugs.

After delivering the medicine, Song Shuwen's face showed a look of pain, and he murmured to himself: "I have never deceived others..."

Seeing this, several doctors stepped forward to comfort him.

One of the doctors said gently: "Doctor Song, our original intention is for everyone's good, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Another doctor also nodded and said: "Yes, we are helpless. As long as we can help everyone, the temporary concealment is worth it."

Early that morning, Liu Bei was sitting on a chair in his room, looking anxious, and what Liu Maohai said kept echoing in his mind.

His face was pale, his eyes were full of panic, his lips were trembling slightly, and he murmured to himself: "What should I do..."

Gradually, Liu Bei became more and more excited. He couldn't help crying, and tears fell down his cheeks. As he cried, he complained about himself: "I was born in this troubled world. I am so useless..."

However, he could not help but worry that Liu Maohai would destroy him, and this worry was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart.

Due to excessive worry, Liu Bei's body finally couldn't hold up and he fell ill in bed.

Soon after, a doctor came to his room to treat him.

After a while, Liu Bei's health gradually improved.

He lay on the bed, thinking to himself: "Being sick may be a good thing. If Xianbei and Liu Maohai attack, I will naturally have to resist, but with my current strength, it seems difficult to compete with them. Now that I'm sick, I have an explanation."

There was a hint of helplessness and relief in his heart.

Liu Bei looked at the ceiling silently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that he was in a chaotic world, the situation was unpredictable, and his power was very limited.

Facing the possible attack, he felt powerless and uneasy.

However, this illness gave him an excuse to escape temporarily.

So, he silently told himself in his heart: "Maybe this is God's will, so that I can find a moment of peace in my illness."

But at the same time, he also understood that he must find a way to strengthen his strength to cope with various challenges.

That day, Cheng Yu received a letter.

The handwriting on the envelope told him that it was sent by Song Shuwen in Quanzhou.

It was written to Xiyu.

He gave the letter to Xiyu.

A trace of expectation surged in Xiyu's heart, because he was just trying to understand the situation in Quanzhou.

Xiyu's face showed joy, and he eagerly read the contents of the letter.

In the letter, Song Shuwen described the current situation in Quanzhou in detail. They have developed a drug, but there is no guarantee that it will be effective.

In addition, Ma Lin himself found out through inquiries that the first patient had died.

According to the patient's statement before his death, he was originally a businessman. When he passed by Qingzhou, he was walking in a daze at night and accidentally stepped on a new grave.

He also encountered a female corpse inside and fainted on the spot.

He woke up the next day, and then ran away in fear.

He wondered why there was no coffin for the body.

He felt that he had contracted the plague because he had come into contact with the female corpse, or perhaps because he had been poisoned.

Xiyu frowned and said thoughtfully, "So that's the case. The person might have come into contact with the witch's corpse."

His eyes revealed a look of sudden enlightenment, and he told Cheng Yu the contents of the letter.

Cheng Yu asked nervously, "Sir, what should we do?"

Xiyu took a deep breath and answered calmly, "Since Song Shuwen and the others have developed the medicine, I hope they can succeed." There was a hint of expectation and determination in his eyes.

Late at night, everything was silent, and the moonlight sprinkled on the land of Xianbei like water.

Tuoba Lu stood on a high place, anxiously looking into the distance.

Tonight, Liu Maohai will lead his troops.

Liu Maohai whispered to the generals around him: "According to the agreement with Tuoba Lu, we must show him our strength tonight. Everyone, be careful and don't make a sound." The generals nodded.

The night was deep, and the inky sky was dotted with a few faint stars, as if they were lonely gems forgotten in the vast universe.

In this silent night, a mysterious and tense atmosphere enveloped the land of Xianbei.

On the plains of Xianbei, the grass swayed in the wind, making a slight rustling sound, as if whispering about what was about to happen.

The mountains in the distance were shadowy, like sleeping giants, quietly guarding this land.

Against this quiet background, Liu Maohai led thousands of soldiers and quietly entered Xianbei.

They did not choose the normal section of the road, but through the underground passage that had been dug long ago.

This underground passage was planned by Liu Maohai a few years ago. It was a secret passage he carefully prepared.

They walked silently along the underground passage, and the passage was filled with a damp breath.

Tuoba Lu's voice rang out in the darkness.

"Liu Maohai, you are finally here."

Liu Maohai replied: "I kept our agreement. Tonight, I will show you my strength."

Tuoba Lu stood on a high place, his laughter echoing in the wind, heroic and confident.

He looked around at the Xianbei soldiers, with a firm light in his eyes.

He said loudly: "Now, let's attack Fangjun and then advance to the Central Plains! Action at night is most advantageous, so that those guys in Fangjun will be caught off guard!"

At this time, a bright moon hung high in the sky, shedding a cold light, illuminating Tuoba Lu's resolute face.

Then, Tuoba Lu began his passionate speech: "Why do we Xianbei people live worse than the people in the Central Plains? What the people in the Central Plains have, we must also have! Now Liu Maohai comes to help us, and we must seize this opportunity to occupy the Central Plains!"

His voice was like thunder, exploding among the soldiers.

The soldiers were excited. They raised their weapons and shouted: "Occupy the Central Plains! Occupy the Central Plains!"

The night was as dark as ink. Tuoba Lu and Lu Zhe gathered quietly.

Tuoba Lu frowned and whispered: "We need to be careful on this expedition. Wait until daytime and find a chance to capture Liu Maohai."

Lu Zhe nodded slightly, with a sly smile on his face, and responded: "Don't worry, everything is under control."

Tuoba Lu stared into the distance and continued: "Liu Maohai is not to be underestimated. We must make a careful plan."

"I know that when the time is right, we will succeed in one fell swoop."

The two smiled at each other, as if everything was already planned.

Afterwards, they led the troops of the two families and silently set out on the road to the expedition.

On the other side, Liu Bei lay quietly on the bed, his face still a little pale, but his eyes flashed with cunning light.

He looked at a general in front of him and said softly: "Although I have recovered from my illness, I still need to pretend to be sick for a while."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The general asked in confusion: "My lord, why is this?"

Liu Bei smiled and replied calmly: "There may be an enemy attack in the near future. I have asked the gatekeepers to prepare. They must be vigilant at all times. When the prime minister learns of this, I will be able to make a contribution."

The general suddenly realized and said admiringly: "My lord, this plan is very good!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then warned: "Remember, don't let the news leak out."

The general bowed and replied: "I understand!"

On the other side, the two armies continued to move forward.

Liu Maohai frowned as he walked, as if thinking about something.

He muttered to himself, "Tuoba Lu, I have informed Liu Bei of the news, so he must be on guard."

Seeing this, Tuoba Lu asked curiously, "Have you ever had a deal with Liu Bei?"

Liu Maohai replied indignantly, "Yes! But Liu Bei is afraid of death and is unwilling to cooperate with me. This time when we enter Fang County, we must catch him and punish him severely!"

Tuoba Lu nodded and said firmly, "Catch the leader first, that's it!"

Liu Maohai nodded slightly, with a resolute look on his face.

At night, the moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the ground.

Cheng Yu's governor's mansion.

Xi Yu looked serious, with a firm look in his eyes. He said to Cheng Yu: "Tomorrow, you will find a way to release a message to the people, saying that the plague in the whole state is about to end, because medicine will appear soon, and there is hope here."

Cheng Yu frowned, with a worried look on his face, and responded: "But Song Shuwen himself said that the medicine may not be effective."

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said confidently: "I have confidence in Song Shuwen, he will definitely find a solution."

Cheng Yu looked at Xi Yu, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

The silence of the early morning enveloped Fang County, and the soldiers guarding the gate gradually became sleepy, shaking from time to time.

The centurion reminded them with a serious face.

"The superiors have told us that there may be enemies coming, so cheer up!"

However, several soldiers did not care, dozed off, and replied lazily: "Now under the leadership of the prime minister, this is a peaceful era, where are the enemies? It's just worrying about nothing!"

After that, they closed their eyes again.

The centurion looked at them and shook his head helplessly, with a worried look on his face.

After a while, the centurion suddenly heard a slight sound.

He became alert instantly and hurriedly woke up the soldiers who were almost asleep.

The soldiers were awakened, with a look of astonishment on their faces, and looked around in panic.

The centurion shouted nervously: "Enemy attack! Sure enough, someone came to attack the city!"

The soldiers immediately became serious and tightened their weapons.

At this time, Tuoba Lu and Liu Maohai had led the army to the city.

Tuoba Lu had a dignified face, and he shouted loudly: "Today is the time for us to capture this city!"

Liu Maohai seemed very excited. He licked his lips and shouted impatiently: "Brothers, charge!"

The centurion widened his eyes, his face full of anger, and asked loudly: "Who are you? How dare you come to attack the city!"

His voice was full of majesty and anger.

Liu Maohai raised his mouth corners, revealing a disdainful smile, and said proudly: "No need to talk nonsense! Hurry up and open the door, and I can still spare your lives, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" He was indifferent and firm, revealing an irresistible momentum.

The centurion's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold sneer, and his eyes showed a trace of disdain.

Soon, a large number of soldiers emerged from the side, and they quickly faced the enemy.

Seeing this, Liu Maohai also sneered, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he muttered to himself: "Liu Bei is really prepared."

Liu Maohai tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, and secretly swore in his heart: "After I conquer Fangjun, I must kill Liu Bei, the beast!"

The centurion's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, and said: "Humph, they can't beat Fangjun at all."

Liu Maohai heard that, and a sneer also appeared at the corners of his mouth. He looked directly at the centurion and responded: "Then let's see."

But then, Liu Maohai found that the two sides were really equally powerful.

He was particularly puzzled, how could the power of Fangjun be so strong?

In fact, Fangjun used to be in turmoil, and now it has finally returned to a stable state, so everyone loves peace.

Whoever is not conducive to peace must be punished.

At this time, someone came to the palace to report the news to Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei pretended to be sick, he still got up quickly.

Hearing this news, he was particularly worried.

He didn't know who would win in the end.

He hoped that Liu Maohai would win.

But if that were the case, would Liu Maohai let him go?

If Liu Maohai failed.

He would still see Xi Yu win.

This was not what he wanted.

He became more and more conflicted.

He sighed.

But the soldiers of Fangjun didn't know what he was thinking.

They all thought that Liu Bei was loyal to Xiyu.

He naturally couldn't tell anyone about his own difficulties.

He didn't cultivate his confidants, and didn't know who to trust.

So, with many thoughts in his mind, Liu Bei couldn't sleep at all tonight.

He was a little sleepy the next morning.

However, at this time, a soldier came to report information.

It was said that the losses on the Fangjun side were also very serious.

But the other side didn't succeed in the attack and finally withdrew.

Hearing this news, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that the combat effectiveness of Fangjun is still good. (End of this chapter)
