late han empire

Since human nature has a good side, it naturally also has a dark side.

It is really ironic to say that with the help of Sanzong, Liu Bei wiped out the power of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.However, what's interesting is that when they learned that Liu Bei was killed and Sima Yi came to power, many people gave up resistance and joined Sima Yi's command.

Perhaps it can be said that the ministers of civil and military affairs these days do not have much integrity, or that what they originally lacked was a step to surrender.No matter what the facts are, the result is that after Sima Yi killed Liu Bei, he came to power smoothly, and the local aristocratic family also took the initiative to help him.

Sima Yi is the representative of the contemporary aristocratic family. Seeing that Liu Ming began to eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family on the people, the aristocratic family obviously would not sit still, so they chose a spokesperson. Unfortunately, this spokesperson also became the new spokesperson of the three sects.

Why did Sanzong give up Liu Bei?Perhaps it was Liu Bei's blood that made them dissatisfied, or Liu Bei really couldn't let go, and tried his best to fight for independence.It's just that if the correct answer is the latter, it doesn't make sense. After all, Sima Yi is in power, so is it easy to control?

Unexpectedly, the answer was revealed soon.

Sima Yi, who had just begun to integrate the forces of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, decisively declared war on Liu Ming.An army of tens of thousands appeared on the border again, and they were divided into several groups and rushed into Liu Ming's territory.

What's interesting is that most of the original military advisers and civil servants of the three families joined the battle or made suggestions very cooperatively.But it is some small tricks of the three sects. It is actually very simple to force a person to submit.

It's just that not everyone will sit still and wait for death. Xu Shu disappeared, Lu Xun disappeared, Liu Ye disappeared... Anyone with a little ability in the three forces, as long as they can disappear, left before the three sects controlled them.

As for their whereabouts, there is no need to doubt it, except for going north to seek refuge with Liu Ming.

"Our military rations are running low. In two months, we have to lay down a piece of land, otherwise we can only withdraw our troops!" Sima Yi summoned the representatives of the three sects and said solemnly to them.

"These two months are our test for you. If you can't achieve results within two months, then we are the ones who can let you go to Zen!" San Zong no longer had the politeness towards Liu Bei in the past. , became domineering.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I can guarantee that Liu Ming will enjoy a war he will never forget." Sima Yi didn't mean to be afraid, but he was indeed very upset with Liu Ming, so deep down he really wanted him to look good.

He wanted to prove to Liu Ming that he had the strength to become one of the top five, or even the top pick.Liu Ming's decision not to list him was the worst decision he ever made in his life!

Even if he really didn't intend to become an official at that time...

Two months later, even though it was already deep winter, Sima Yi still brazenly sent troops.Perhaps in his opinion, the weather in the south is warmer, so even if a war starts at this time, there is no problem.

In fact, except for the biting cold wind, the weather in the south is indeed not as difficult as that in the north.It won't snow here, and there won't be any blizzards.But the freezing wind here will come with the rain, and the feeling of the wind blowing on the body is actually colder than that in the north.

Many people advised Sima Yi, why not wait until the spring plowing is over, or at least wait until the spring plowing starts?Sima Yi didn't care what they said, he needed a fight, and when Liu Ming was weak, he would give him a fatal blow.

The three sects also need Sima Yi's statement, as for them, no matter how many Han people die, it doesn't matter.Immortals will never care about the life and death of mortals.They only care about whether they are still incomparably majestic among mortals, with golden rules.

"Crazy, are those guys from Sanzong crazy?" When the news reached Liu Ming, even though his self-cultivation had improved a lot, he was also going crazy right now.

Many people's expressions were similar to his, they were all angry at San Zong's arrogance and cruelty.

But no matter how angry you are, it doesn't make any sense. If the opponent insists on attacking, will you just withdraw your troops and go back just because you are angry?

"My lord, fight! Anyway, in terms of logistics and supplies, we are much stronger than the other party. Besides, we are all cultivators. We can still bear the coldness in winter." Gao Shun came forward to advise.

"It's indeed time to deal with them. It's the cold winter season, and the troops on Dashi's side are temporarily withdrawn. At least we are safe on the frontier." Cheng Yu also gave his own opinion.

Liu Ming had to sigh with emotion at this moment: Look, other people's barbarian countries still know that they will go home for a new year with a truce in winter.However, you, a son from a family like you, specialize in playing this kind of trick.

The soldiers on the front line have been fighting for almost a year, and most of them already have some war weariness.It can only be said that due to the constraints of the system and the influence of Liu Ming's reputation, they can still stick to the forefront.But Liu Ming couldn't guarantee when it would collapse.

"My lord, you don't need to worry. We are just as exhausted as the other party. After repeated sex, the other party consumes more energy than us. Even if they rush into an army to attack us, they are nothing more than a mob." Cheng Yu knew. Liu Ming was worried about something, and stepped forward to persuade him.

"Report, a dozen former subordinates of Cao Cao and Sun Quan came outside the meeting hall, begging to see the lord!" At this time, a guard came in to report.

"Xuan!" Liu Ming naturally didn't mind meeting them.

When they came in, Liu Ming immediately found many acquaintances inside.Among other things, Zaoyi and Lu Xun, these two are candidates who have taken the scientific examination before, but I followed them all the way here.In terms of military officers, Cao Cao's Yu Jin and Sun Quan's Xu Sheng are all rare famous generals, but he didn't expect that they would all come to his side.

"General, my lord was assassinated by the disciples of the three sects. Not long ago, he planned to control us to serve as cannon fodder for them. Fortunately, we were prepared, but we went north early, so we managed to escape. Now we are homeless It's time to return, I wonder if the general can take him in?" Zhou Yu, as a representative, came out and asked.

"Everyone is a rare hero. I danced excitedly when one came. Now that so many come together, I am so ecstatic, I can't help it! Everyone is willing to come to my side, and I agree with both hands and feet. If you want to become an official with me, you only need to accept a small assessment later, and you will be assigned official positions immediately." Liu Ming said excitedly.

"That's no problem, I will look forward to my lord in the future, and my colleagues can give me more advice!" Zhou Yu was not pedantic, and directly bowed and saluted, and said sincerely to Liu Ming and the others.

At the same time, the civil and military ministers who came with him also saluted.

Liu Ming quickly called a guard and asked him to take this group of people to accept the assessment.At the same time, he ordered a banquet to be prepared, and he would personally entertain them.

"Are they okay?" Gao Shun still expressed some concern.

"Maybe it's not completely so clean, I just hope that Jin Yiwei can slowly find out the evidence of their infidelity in the days to come. If you behave like a thief now, who will dare to come to me in the future? ?” Liu Ming shrugged and replied.

Gao Shun felt that there was indeed such a truth, so he did not continue to delve into it.

But at this time, another guard came over and handed Liu Ming a letter with chicken feathers.This is a common sign for urgent letters, so Liu Ming immediately took it over, opened it and looked at it.

After reading it, Liu Ming showed a smug smile, making the people around him confused.

"God help me, now I want Sima Yi to look good!" Liu Ming laughed out loud.
