The Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

()Chapter 19Three Thousand Customers

"There are five thousand pieces of gold here, which are the savings of my Liu family for a hundred years. If any of you are willing to take revenge with me, then...the gold will be yours."

As soon as Liu Yu said this, all the nearly 500 people in the audience were shocked, and they looked at the calm Liu Yu in disbelief.

Although when Liu Yu took out the five thousand catties of gold, everyone knew that Liu Yu could not take it back, but after hearing Liu Yu's words with their own ears, everyone was shocked and had to lament Liu Yu's With generosity and courage, five thousand gold and gold were thrown out of his own pocket in a single sentence. You must know that this is the savings of the Liu family for a hundred years. I believe that few people can be as generous as Liu Yu.

Seeing everyone's shock, Liu Yu swallowed the wine in his mouth, feeling the heat in his chest, his eyes couldn't help bursting with enthusiasm, his face was a little red and he roared: "What do people live for? But Fame, wealth, and power, I can give you everything you want, but all you need is that you may lose your life. This is a rare chance in life, so why not fight for a lifetime of wealth and a long history? Leave a name, and fight for a world of power."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yu felt the somewhat surprised eyes of the crowd, sighed in his heart, knew that he was a little excited, immediately calmed down, and said calmly: "If you don't want these, then you are pursuing excitement?"

While speaking, Liu Yu's eyes flickered, and he carefully observed the expressions of everyone present, especially paying attention to Zhang Fei.

But the matter did not exceed Liu Yu's judgment. After his words fell, the expressions of a small number of people present, including Zhang Fei, immediately changed slightly, and the flash of approval in their eyes was all taken into his eyes. I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart.

What is a hero?

Heroes... In layman's terms, they have courage and insight, follow the path of injustice, and draw their swords to help. It is a life-and-death thrill, and the pursuit is to break through one's own limit pleasure.

Who were the famous heroes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Ancient evils come...Dian Wei; martial sages...Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang; fierce Zhang Fei...Zhang Yide; red rabbit among men, Lu Bu among horses...flying general Lu Bu; tiger idiot...Xu Chu: Jinfan Thieves...Gan Ning Gan Xingba;...Wait, these people are representatives of heroes.

Although these people also have other pursuits, from the end of Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, what these super-class military generals pursued was fighting on the battlefield. It is more accurate to say that they are pursuing, not to say that they are eager to come, but what is the reason for longing for the battlefield?It's not for the thrill of life and death.

And these people can all be heroes among heroes, but these people only represent the top handful of heroes, and in this troubled world, there are countless heroes.

And from the moment Liu Yu made up his mind to fight for hegemony in the world, he was thinking about how to accumulate power before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so as to earn enough political capital during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. For this reason, he needed a team that was only loyal to himself power.

Power, what is power?

After all, power is also military power, and for Liu Yu at this stage, there are only a few ways to get military power...

One is to be filial and honest, climb up step by step, and finally put it in a place in China and abroad in a few years, and finally hide it from the court, train private soldiers in various ways, and finally follow the trend.

The second one is to do nothing now, and wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when the imperial court ordered the local tyrants to raise troops against the Yellow Turbans privately, then he will spend all his wealth and recruit hundreds of village braves to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

The third one is that he spent money to buy a prefect, and then fought to be selected in a border area, and then recruited troops aggressively in the name of resisting aliens, and finally raised troops to suppress the rebellion during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The fourth is not to be an official, but to recruit soldiers privately as a powerful person, and then raise troops to suppress the rebellion during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and win political capital.

These four methods are all good, but there must be a prerequisite, Liu Yu is not a member of the Han family.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the emperor can be said to do his best to suppress the clan, because of what?

Because the foreign surname wants to change the dynasty, it is necessary to seek to usurp the throne, unless it is in troubled times, otherwise it is almost impossible to succeed; but if the family is concerned, it is not called seeking to usurp the throne, but just usurping the throne, so the probability of success will undoubtedly be many times greater .

Therefore, before the troubled times, the clan members were rarely able to hold military power, especially the young clans, and it was undoubtedly much more difficult to be an official.

Just like Liu Yan before entering Yizhou, his official position is not low, but before he entered Yizhou, how many soldiers and generals did he have under his command?

Let's talk about Liu Biao in Jingzhou. At that time, the world was in chaos, but Liu Biao had only one person in Jingzhou. Did he not want to bring his men?Of course not, it's not that I don't want to take it, but I can't take it, or even don't have it.

Besides, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, had several soldiers and generals when he entered Yangzhou. The only famous Tai Shici took the initiative to join him after he became the governor of Yangzhou.

Can you say that these people do not understand politics?Do you dare to say that they are not old foxes?However, these old foxes didn't dare to recruit the slightest soldiers before the world was in chaos. Why did Liu Yu recruit?

And the most important thing is that if Liu Yu hadn't been an official before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then he could be a prefect by virtue of his contribution to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It's a daydream, and, if this plan is to succeed, then his achievements in the Yellow Turban Rebellion should not be too great, or...hehe.

However, if Liu Yu was the prefect before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then he had better be more honest during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, otherwise...he didn't know how he died.

At that time, Liu Yu faced such a dead end. Although he knew from history that it would not be easy to fight for world hegemony, he never thought that it would be such an easy way.

In the end, Liu Yu, who was driven into a hurry, felt ruthless, and directly blocked his own back road. Since he wanted to fight for hegemony, he should fight for it thoroughly. Regardless of whether the world is in chaos, recruit troops when you need them, and do whatever you want So, as long as the power is strong enough, who can do anything to him.

Of course, this speed must be grasped well, and it cannot be called rebellion, so that no one will accompany him to death, and the soldiers recruited cannot be recruited casually. Anyway, those farmers who are as docile as sheep will never recruit them. To recruit is to recruit desperadoes.

In the end, Liu Yu spent a day, combining what he saw and heard in later generations, and he just made a series of huge plans, and he was revising this plan every moment.

And before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he recruited a soldier who could completely quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and at least this soldier and horse should help him earn the most credit for putting down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, otherwise he could be said to be dead up.

The most important thing is that before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he could only recruit a maximum of [-] soldiers and horses. Otherwise, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, he would be given to death directly. Withdrew from the stage of world hegemony.

Externally, these three thousand soldiers and horses cannot be private soldiers, they can only be retainers.

After all, private soldiers can be said to be obedient to the orders of the Lord, even if they are asked to rebel, they will not hesitate. Therefore, private soldiers are expressly prohibited by the court, let alone three thousand, even three hundred.

But it’s different for a door-keeper. The nature of a door-keeper can be regarded as an employment relationship. You pay, and the door-keeper protects your safety. Therefore, the court ban does not prohibit supporting door-keepers, as long as you have the financial resources, just like As is well-known, the story of Mr. Mengchang having three thousand diners is the same.

Of course, although door keepers are not prohibited, if you make it too big, it will be a way of death, and if you don’t know that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out in two years, Liu Yu would not dare to recruit too many door keepers. Moreover, his so-called [-] disciples did not mean recruiting all at once, but that he had to recruit [-] disciples after two years.

Coincidentally, the death of his parents and the invasion of Xianbei half a month ago, it can be said that he has a sworn hatred with Xianbei. If he uses this as an excuse to recruit disciples to avenge his personal revenge, in this era of filial piety, he is so Do, even the imperial court has no way to convict him for no reason, especially, no matter how he is, he is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty and Lord Marquis. Without sufficient reasons, the imperial court cannot just kill him casually, or it will lose people's hearts.

Regardless of whether it is to grab the credit for the Yellow Turban Rebellion as much as possible in the future, or to attract followers, the target of his strikes cannot be those peasants, but heroes.

After all, since ancient times, the so-called retainers have not been heroes. The most important thing is that if a hero is used as a retainer, it can effectively reduce the vigilance of those in power.

After all, in addition to being famous for their bravery, heroes are also known for their unrestrained and rebellious character. Therefore, since ancient times, there has never been an army composed of heroes, because heroes It is difficult for a scholar to develop a heart of loyalty.

It can be said that since the series of plans were made at the beginning, whether it is beheading Liu Zheng and other "relatives" or the current show, it is the first link in his struggle for world hegemony, and there must be no mistakes in the middle.

Since ancient times, fighting for hegemony is often not as simple as historical records and novels. Sometimes, Liu Yu even thought about giving up fighting for hegemony, but in the end he was re-judged.

If he was reborn in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he would be happy to become a simple general, and then help Li Shimin conquer the world.

However, it is a pity that he was reborn not during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in the dark and chaotic times that lasted for more than 400 years. It is not that he did not want to help Cao Cao and other heroes fight for hegemony. He didn't believe that Cao Cao and others had the courage to offend the tyrants in the world, so he made up his mind to fight for hegemony in the world.

Ever since he got the list of gods and was reborn in this era, Liu Yu realized that the greater a person's ability and knowledge, the greater his responsibility.

Sometimes, Liu Yu will also have the idea that he will come to this troubled world, does he also have the idea of ​​letting him calm down this troubled world?

Of course, from the beginning to the end, Liu Yu's thoughts were not so noble. The first thing is always the wonderful process of pursuing world hegemony, and the second is to end this 400-year-long chaotic world, but this There is no conflict between the two, so he has both, even if he satisfies his desire, he also allows himself to pursue that illusory pure goodness.
