When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 40 Liu Bei (Part )

In the theater

"Stop, stop, stop."

Zhen De grabbed the assistant director who was sitting in the director's seat, and the assistant director's butt immediately left the cushion. He smiled

"What's wrong, Director Zhen?"

"What's the matter? I just finished my family stuff and rushed back without stopping." Zhen De sat down and checked the progress of the shooting.

According to the original plan, this scene should be a revolving lantern of Liu Bei on his deathbed. From a newborn baby, he gradually became a monarch who controlled one-third of the country, but the price was the departure of his brothers and sisters one by one. The 63-year-old old soldier was determined to send troops, but he was still no match for the 40-year-old Lu Yi.

"I feel like there's something wrong with the shot." Zhen De said after watching it.

The assistant director was unhappy at the time, "If it wasn't for Director Zhen, wouldn't I be able to film it well? Look, I made Liu Bei stay in Pingyuan State, diligently administer good government, raise the people and make them happy, how good would that be?"

Zhen De nodded, "Indeed, but we are only filming a rough outline of Liu Bei's life. If it took so long to get to Pingyuan, don't we have to finish filming the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms? This is too long and the workload is too heavy."

"Then" the assistant director scratched his head, "Director Zhen, what do you say we should do? Should we just delete what we have filmed?"

"That's such a waste, save it for later. Isn't our goal to improve the image of Liu Bei as a hypocrite among the misled audience?" Zhen De said leisurely, "According to a certain expert, he who led the people across the river was a hypocrite, while he who slaughtered the city and killed the surrendered was a true hero. Cao Cao's behavior can be excused in every way, but Liu Bei's behavior was found to be discredited by every possible means. After all, according to that expert, I admit that Liu Bei is a hero, so what else do you want from me? Can't Liu Bei be a hypocrite?"

The assistant director nodded. "It's really outrageous. Cao Cao unified the north and suppressed the gentry. His abilities and contributions are worthy of recognition. But these are far from offsetting Cao Cao's low character. He was moody and there are records of him massacring cities and killing people in Xuzhou more than a dozen times. He killed his former friends without authorization. Cao Mengde really doesn't deserve to be called a hero. He was just a warlord in troubled times."

"Is that so? I will take over from now on." Zhen De said to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in front of the camera: "Old Liu, Second Brother, A Fei, and everyone else are in trouble. We will be more streamlined this time."

"Then the second scene begins!"

The camera showed Liu Bei lying on the hospital bed. His heavy eyelids slowly closed as he lay dying.

The screen went dark.

A few seconds later, shouts and wails were heard everywhere.

The firelight filled the screen and the picture gradually lit up.

The firelight was reflected in the eyes of Liu Bei, a young man in cloth. He looked at the ruins at the foot of the mountain, with confusion and bewilderment on his young face. He stretched out his hand forward, and with force, he peeled off the notice to punish the bandits.

He took the notice in his arms, accepted the funding from Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, formed a team, and rushed into the battlefield with swords raised.

It was a small official seal of the Anxi County Magistrate that fell to the ground. After being whipped, Duyou mounted his war horse and fled in a hurry.

It was through repeated battles that he defeated the rebels and was appointed as the commander of the plain.

It is the change of scenes, the rare moment of peace in Pingyuan State, the candy that Liu Bei received from the girl on the street, and just after swallowing it, he turned around and saw the resolute expression of the wounded Taishi Ci, and his impassioned speech.

'Ci is just an ordinary man, and has no blood relationship with Kong Beihai, nor friendship with his fellow townsmen. He just thought that he was a role model for the scholars and officials in the world, so he decided to share the disaster with him! Now Kong Beihai is sitting in an isolated city, in danger. He thinks that you have a reputation for benevolence and can save people in times of emergency, so he tried his best to support you, entrusting his life and death to you, hoping that you will save him generously! '

Liu Bei supported Taishi Ci and said, "Kong Beihai actually knew that there was a Liu Bei in the world!"

Tian Yu advised, "Brother Xuande, we are short of soldiers and generals, and we don't have enough food and supplies. If we want to rescue Kong Beihai, I'm afraid even Pingyuan State will have trouble protecting itself!"

Liu Bei responded to Tian Yu with a clenched fist and a decisive word, "Save! Kong Beihai knows me, Liu Xuande, and Ziyi has come to beg for help with his life. As a real man, how can I not save him!" Liu Bei waved his hand and sent 3,000 elite troops to help Beihai, but behind them came dense dark clouds, the flags and cavalry of Zang Hong, a subordinate of Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei hurriedly mounted his horse, raised his sword, led the rest of his troops, and beat the war drums to meet the enemy.

It was the pain of being defeated, the desolation of not being able to protect the plains, and the fact that he was not able to lead the remnants of his troops to camp eastward in Qi.

It was Tao Qian's sudden letter asking for help, and the thousands of cavalrymen who rushed to Xuzhou without hesitation.

When the middle-aged Liu Bei, with his face full of wrinkles, arrived at Xia Pi, he saw Cao's army wielding the butcher's knife against the unarmed civilians, piles of bones all over the ground, the sound of roosters crowing inaudibly, and a river that was unable to flow due to so many corpses.

It was the anger that welled up in his chest, the red eyes, the sharp blade that was swung out again, but no matter how hard he fought, he could not cut down the Cao army's flags, and he had to watch helplessly as the Cao army retreated due to lack of food and grass.

It was bad news from the north, and the messenger wept, "General Liu, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an were brutally murdered by General Gongsun."

'What? ! ’

Liu Bei was incredulous and disappointed so he let go of Tian Kai's hand and accepted Tao Qian's invitation.

The messenger rushed into the camp in a hurry, "Report, report, Cao's army will change its route from Mount Tai to Langya, slaughtering cities and plundering land all the way to the East China Sea!"

'Cao Cao!'

It was the red-eyed Liu Bei who drew his sword and led his troops northward to fight against Cao's army. It was the breaking of Liu Bei's sword, the defeat, and yet another great loss.

It was the sharp blades of Cao's army approaching their throats, it was the panic of Cao's army in despair, it was the sudden retreat of Cao's army flags, and it was the gratitude for surviving the disaster.

It was Liu Bei who took over the official seal of Xuzhou Mu from Mi Zhu who followed Tao Qian's will. It was Chen Deng who came with a big laugh, "I am willing to work with you for great things!" It was Lü Bu who came to surrender while Cao's army was slaughtering Xuzhou and seizing Yanzhou.

When he turned around, he saw Yuan Shu's cavalry invading again. Liu Bei once again led the army to resist. He was defeated by Yuan's army, but he still did not give up.

It was Zhang Fei who was left behind in Xuzhou who fled to Liu Bei and cried, "Sir, I have lost Xuzhou, and your wife and children have been captured by Lu Bu and Cao Bao."

It was Liu Bei's pale face pretending to be calm, and his trembling hands grabbing the reins as he retreated to Haixi.

It was the report from the forage officer, "General, the army is running low on forage and can't hold out for many more days."

Liu Bei waved his hand, "I understand. You go down first, I will find a way."

Someone advised, "Sir, why not borrow food and grass from the people nearby to tide over the difficulties temporarily."

Liu Bei was furious and kicked the man out. He closed his eyes and muttered, "I am not Cao Cao."

Liu Bei was walking in the military camp, and all the soldiers were starving. They were silent and stretched their hands to the bodies of their dead comrades.
'well'

A sigh.

Liu Bei handed over a letter of surrender to Lu Bu.
