Chapter 599 Liu Bei Is Just Alone
Not long after Ying Qian left, Zhang Rang's people came and told Liu Bei about Huan Dian and others' intention to assassinate, so Liu Bei was on guard.

Liu Bei really patted his head on the forefoot and back, feeling that he had confused his security work for a while.

Thinking about the future, thinking about change, I even forgot to pay attention to whether there is a big hole waiting under my feet.

It seems that this person can't always look up at the sky, but also has to look down at the road under his feet, otherwise if he stumbles and falls, if he doesn't die, he will be covered in dust.

After receiving Zhang Rang's warning, Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to be called from the barracks to Luoyang, and twenty of his own soldiers were with him.

"Zilong, don't go back to the barracks for a while, and protect my safety in Luoyang City, and I will entrust my life to you."

Zhao Yun's face flushed with excitement.

"The general trusts me. This is Yun's blessing. Even if Yun dies, he will protect the general!"

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun's shoulder with a smile, and didn't say much. For the next three days, he would enter the palace as usual, and prepare for the Jiade Palace meeting with colleagues from the royal family and the ancient literature school. , in order to achieve a complete.

On the other hand, he also needs to divide his energy into military affairs and part of government affairs.

Liu Bei had to personally participate in the dispatching and purchasing of military supplies, as well as the big training camp. He was so busy running around that he didn't even touch the ground. Really delay things.

Three days later in the evening, Yingqian sent someone to report that the weapons and crossbows had been delivered to the assassin team of the Jinwen School. It was estimated that they would take action in the near future, and Liu Bei was asked to be more careful.

When Liu Bei learned of this, he summoned three confidants, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, to inform them of the matter. The three of them turned pale with shock, and then revealed a fierce face.

Dare to move Liu Bei?

Isn't this just courting death?

"Junhou, since this is the case, why not send someone at night to catch them all?"

Cheng Yu said bitterly: "You dare to murder the prince, you are courting death!"

In Cheng Yu's view, Liu Bei is the only way for him to realize his ideals in life. If something happens to Liu Bei, he will have no future, so he will never allow anyone to harm Liu Bei.

The first thing he thought of was to act first and kill the opponent.

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu and Xun You.

"Wenhe, Gongda, what do you think?"

Jia Xu looked at Xun You.

"Gongda, you first?"

"can."

Xun You said sternly: "These rebels are not dead. Seeing that their families are in decline, they can't bear it. They actually think of murdering the prince. It's crazy, but killing them like this will make them cheaper. If the prince is willing, you are willing to replace the prince. Hou, use your body to lure them into action, create established facts, and then uproot them and wipe out the three clans!"

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu again.

"Wenhe, what do you mean?"

Jia Xu nodded.

"It's almost the same as Gongda, but in terms of body shape, Xu is more similar to Junhou, so the task of replacing Junhou is still given to Xu. At that time, Xu will pretend to be Junhou and sit in the carriage to lure this A group of thieves take the initiative to attack, and the Lord can catch them all!"

Xun You turned around.

"Wenhe, it's obvious that Junhou and I are more similar in shape, or it's more suitable for me to come."

"No, no, Gongda, look, you are obviously not tall enough, and other people can tell it at a glance. My height is similar to that of Junhou, so I am more suitable."

At this time, Cheng Yu also recalled it.

"You two, let Yu come. Yu's figure is more similar to that of a prince, and Yu's position is low. Both of them have senior positions in the court. It is inconvenient to risk their lives, so Yu is more suitable."

Jia Xu and Xun You looked at Cheng Yu together, their expressions a little unnatural.

How dare you, a newcomer, compete with our seniors for such an opportunity?
Showing loyalty also depends on the occasion, right?
So the three of them began to have a heated debate on the question of "whose figure is more similar to Liu Bei", and they output opinions one after another, and no one was willing to be humble.

Liu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, okay, three of you, you are all my good assistants, I am reluctant to risk anyone of you, no need, no need, just do a little trick, even if they keep staring at my carriage, It doesn't matter, I already have some ideas, you can refer to them for me."

Liu Bei then told the three of his plans.

After hearing this, the three of them nodded in praise.

"So, there is nothing wrong with it."

"The prince is more thoughtful."

"Your Majesty has a clever plan. Those old thieves of the Modern Literature School are nothing more than dead bones in the tomb. As long as they do something, next year will be their anniversary!"

Liu Bei laughed.

"There are many people who want to kill me. I have been in danger since I was 19 years old to Luoyang, but this is the first time someone really dared to use assassination methods to deal with me. If I didn't know in advance, I'm afraid It’s really dangerous, recently, I’ve been a little slack.”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and immediately spoke to Liu Bei.

"Junhou, your safety is always the most important thing, but it seems that you have never specifically considered this matter. Yu thinks that you should think more about it and form an elite team to protect your safety, no matter where you are. Even if they are not in the army, they should be inseparable to protect you."

Cheng Yu's suggestion made Liu Bei think about it, and then looked at Jia Xu and Xun You.

"What do you mean?"

The two felt that this suggestion was good, but it was a pity that this suggestion was not the first one they put forward.

So Liu Bei began to seriously consider this matter. He wanted to get a professional bodyguard for himself, and then a professional army to protect him inseparably.

However, it is easy to choose elite soldiers, but it is not easy to choose a suitable bodyguard who is conscientious and will not be overqualified.

In terms of cautious character, loyalty, and courage, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun are suitable candidates, but they can obviously do more things on the battlefield, and they also have the potential to be independent. Liu Bei doesn't want to tie them to their side.

Therefore, the characters in this area still need to be discovered slowly, but the specific candidates for the guard team can start to be selected. It should be a good idea to select an elite soldier with the strongest combat effectiveness from the entire army to protect himself.

So Liu Bei entrusted this matter to Cheng Yu, and asked Cheng Yu to go to the army as the head of the general to select capable, tough and loyal soldiers to protect him.

On the other hand, when Liu Bei was preparing for many things, he suddenly thought of the two famous bodyguards Xu Chu and Dian Wei. people.

He doesn't know what the situation of these two people is now, but he always sends people to search, and if he can find them, he will call them here. The reason is very simple——

Everyone is my virtuous minister Ying Meng.

Zhao Yun was also found, told him some things, gave him some orders, and then asked Zhao Yun to make preparations.

So everything is ready, the only thing left is Dongfeng, and we are waiting for the bastards of the Modern Literature School to do stupid things that will bring them to their own demise.

Facts have proved that these guys are not only stupid, but also impatient. They did it on the third day after getting the weapons and equipment. They did not give the assassination team more time to train and use weapons, nor did they give them more Time to prepare.

Their leader was Pi Yuan, an outstanding disciple of the Huan family. He was good at stabbing with a sword.

In his plan, Liu Bei was selected to start from his home to the middle area of ​​the Imperial Palace Road. There is a section of road there that needs to pass through a deserted warehouse street. Generally speaking, only officials will pass by there. There are few people, and Easy to hide figure.

Based on their observations and experience, it can be known that Liu Bei usually passes by there in the morning to go to the palace to handle business. However, during that time, there were a large number of officials who went to the palace together, and it would be more difficult to complete the assassination.

But in the afternoon, Liu Bei will start from the palace again, go back to the General’s Mansion through this small road, and then start from home to the military camp outside Luoyang City to handle military affairs. There is often only Liu Bei on this road during this time period. The carriage and his five or six guards.

Pi Yuan didn't care about these five or six guards.

The assassination team they assembled has thirty people, and the five people with the highest force value are equipped with armor. Everyone has a sword, and there are ten people in the crossbow team who are good at using bows and crossbows. As long as Liu Bei is found , They can kill Liu Bei as soon as they swarm up.

No matter how strong Liu Bei's fighting power is alone, can it be stronger than 30 of them swarming up?

No matter how powerful a person is, as long as he is alone, he is just one person.

Liu Bei is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person.

Could it be that he is as brave as Xiang Yu, able to kill 300 people by himself?

Pi Yuan thought so.

The night before the mission, they sneaked into the warehouse next to the assassination street and lurked.

The next morning, they witnessed Liu Bei traveling to the palace along the road with a group of officials' carriages.

"I heard that Liu Bei is discussing with the Empress Dowager about holding a conference, and the Empress Dowager is still willing to open the Jiade Hall. If this is done for them, won't we be done?"

"So, Liu Bei must not be allowed to live, he must be killed here!"

"He made us lose our future, and we can make him feel better? Even if he dies, we must drag him to die together!"

This group of assassins is mostly composed of excellent disciples of the Fanyue family, and it took a lot of resources from their respective families and personal efforts to become core disciples. Now the Fanyue family collectively lost their status, and they also collectively lost their future.

Therefore, their hatred for Liu Bei, the main promoter of the ancient literature school, is no less than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's hatred for Liu Bei.

They can let Liu Bei die, but they will never let Liu Bei live. Even if they risk their lives for this, they must make Liu Bei, the enemy of life and death, pay the price.

This is their determination.
