Could this "villain" be talking about...me?

After hearing what Zhen Mi said, Wu Liang unconsciously felt a little guilty.

Because according to the official history that he knew, Liu Bei was by no means a failure, and his ending was even slightly better than that of Boss Cao. At least during his lifetime, he established the Shu Han regime and naturally proclaimed himself emperor.

Boss Cao was regarded as Emperor Wu of Wei by Cao Pi, who proclaimed himself emperor only after his death.

And if this time Liu Bei fails to successfully proclaim himself emperor according to the historical trajectory, and ends up in embarrassment, and it is because his destiny is inexplicably hindered by a "villain" that it is so miserable.

So it is self-evident who this "villain" is.

Moreover, in fact, there are some things that Wu Liang has known for a long time.

Liu Bei failed to take control of Xuzhou as recorded in history, which was absolutely inseparable from him. Later, Zhuge Liang was deceived by him into the Hu army, and Ma Chao, one of the future Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, also died quietly because of him.

In his hands, these are all very detrimental things to Liu Bei.

Therefore, defining him as a "villain" who hindered Liu Bei really did not unfairly accuse him at all.

But Wu Liang still didn't understand what the purpose of Zhen Mi's sudden talk to Liu Bei was, and he wasn't sure whether Zhen Mi knew that this "villain" was far away and right in front of him.

He is only sure of one thing.

Zhen Mi probably didn't mean to harm him, because if Zhen Mi really wanted to harm him, there were ten thousand ways to kill him when she was still in Zhen Mansion and Zhongshan Kingdom. There is really no need to do this now.

Kind of like taking off your pants and farting.

Because of this, although he felt a little guilty, he did not stop Zhen Mi from continuing.

"Did you commit a crime?"

After listening to Zhen Mi's words, Liu Bei also frowned, seeming to be thinking about the meaning of the words.

Behind them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.

"exactly."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, a smile appeared in her eyes, and then asked, "My husband also said that you have not won any battles in the past two years, and even when you have a glimmer of hope of turning around, you always fall short at critical moments.

These are all caused by the obstruction of villains. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, these are undisputed facts."

"My husband even saw that there should have been two noble people in your life in the past year. If nothing unexpected happened, one noble person should have helped you contain the powerful enemy, and the other noble person could have provided you with a lot of help and supported you.

You have received a blessed land, but it is a pity that people are not as good as God. Just because you were hindered by that villain and missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise you would not have fallen into this situation."

"As for whether what my husband said is right or wrong, you don't need to answer, and we don't want to know... I won't listen to my husband's advice and tell you so much. I just hope that you will not be ignorant and think that my husband is easy to deceive. He

I’m not giving you this food because I’ve been coaxed by you, I’m just volunteering to help you, so you can take care of yourself!”

After saying that, Zhen Mi glanced at Liu Bei with a look of disgust, and then she let out an indifferent snort from her nose and quietly turned away without saying a word.

"..."

At this moment, Liu Bei's brows furrowed even more tightly.

He couldn't help but recall the major and minor events he had personally experienced in the past year... For a moment, his nasal cavity became inexplicably sour, as if he had suffered great grievances and injustices.

Zhen Mi was right!

Others may not know the connection, but Liu Bei instantly realized who the two nobles Zhen Mi mentioned just now were.

One noble man was the flying general Lu Bu.

At that time, Cao Cao was attacking Tao Qian, so Tao Qian wrote a letter to Liu Bei to come to the rescue. The letter promised that as long as he was willing to come to help, he would hand over his elite Danyang soldiers to command. Liu Bei knew that Tao Qian had a total of Danyang soldiers.

Thousands, if he gets these elites this time, he will have a chance to turn around, and it should be easy to get a blessed land by himself.

It was also at this time that Lu Bu suddenly joined forces with Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, to rebel against Cao Cao. Yanzhou was in chaos for a while, and Cao Cao couldn't take care of him at the end.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The right time, place and people have already taken advantage of it.

When Liu Bei received the news, he thought that his time had finally arrived. Just as he was about to lead his army south, he was beaten back by an ambush arranged by Cao Cao at an unknown time. Later, when he inquired, he learned that the Yanzhou rebellion was put down in just one month.

, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao have fled to Guangling, Xuzhou.

Tao Qian also fled to Guangling, and the troops from both sides joined forces. The Danyang soldiers that were originally intended to be given to him have now been given to Lu Bu.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao had the ability to free his hands to prevent him from going south.

And the Danyang soldiers that Tao Qian wanted to give him now no longer exist, so naturally there is no need to continue going south, so he has no choice but to return in frustration...

Thinking about it afterwards, this was all because he was delayed in receiving news, which resulted in him missing a good opportunity to turn around.

But it is undeniable that Lu Bu, who joined forces with Zhang Miao to rebel against Cao Cao, was the nobleman who helped him contain the powerful enemy. If he could seize this opportunity, he would never end up where he is today.

And the other noble person is naturally Tao Qian.

At that time, he only needed to take one step early, and Tao Qian's thousands of Danyang soldiers were in his pocket. Even if he was unable to resist Cao Cao in the end, these Danyang soldiers would become a powerful force for him to escape elsewhere.

I can still claim to be the king for the time being, and I can finally find a place to stay...

Although Liu Bei regretted missing the opportunity before, he actually didn't think too much about it.

But now that Zhen Mi said this, he suddenly realized that it was actually an opportunity that God had arranged for him, and it was his destiny. At that time, in addition to the delay in news, he also had some hesitation in his heart.

Being dragged down by some messy affairs, I missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But he has never been a hesitant person. Only that time, he looked forward and backward as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

At the same time, the messy affairs in those days were so annoying that he could not calm down and make a decision, as if there was an inexplicable force hindering him...

I see!

Liu Bei couldn't help but clenched his fists.

As an aboriginal, his thoughts are inherently affected by these metaphysical factors, and some things cannot stand careful consideration, especially after being provoked by others, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is just that.

What's more, the letter Tao Qian sent him was still a confidential letter, because after experiencing the previous defeat, Liu Bei's immediate boss at the time, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, was no longer willing to send troops to rescue Tao Qian. Therefore, in order to prevent Tian Kai from obstructing him, Tao Qian sent

Choose to skip Tian Kai and contact Liu Bei privately.

That is to say, apart from the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, it is impossible for a fourth person to know about this matter, and naturally it is impossible for it to reach the ears of Wu Liang, who is completely ignorant.

This is more confirmed.

Wu Liang could see all these things with just one pair of eyes, and the fateful things Zhen Mi relayed were not just lies...

In addition, Liu Bei also thought of some other things.

He also lived a very unhappy life in the first half of his life. His grandfather once served as the Fanling of Dongjun, and his family was still well off. However, in his generation, his father died of illness early, and he and his mother made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes since they were young.

It is common to not be able to afford food.

Later, when he was 28 years old, he became a small county captain due to his repeated military exploits. As a result, he was dismissed by the court after not even serving for one year. At that time, he realized that his life was miserable. Although he whipped the postal supervisor just to vent his anger,

It is also expressing the depression in my chest.

After traveling to many places and suffering a lot, he finally found a job with his childhood friend Gongsun Zan and stationed in Qingzhou under Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou.

Now, he is already thirty-four, already past his thirties.

However, nothing was accomplished. He went around in circles and still only had these two hundred unworthy soldiers. He couldn't even eat, and he had to rely on deception to coax a young man who regarded him as his idol, just for the sake of success.

Able to have a full meal.

The most important thing is that it has been discovered long ago, which is simply embarrassing...

"Wow--!"

Liu Bei felt miserable in his heart, and could no longer control his emotions. Suddenly he burst into tears with a loud "wow" sound. The heartbreaking sound echoed in the silent valley, startling a flock of birds.

"Brother, alas..."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to persuade him, but in the end they had nothing to say and could only sigh sadly.

The two brothers followed Liu Bei from the moment he rose to power. They even slept together at the beginning. They had some knowledge of his previous family affairs, and they were able to keep a close eye on the hardships he encountered later.

After all, many of Liu Bei's experiences were also the common experiences of the three brothers...

Thinking of this, even the two of them began to feel miserable, their eyes began to turn slightly red, and their noses started to puff up.

bitter.

Why is life so hard?

The three of us brothers have put our heads in our belts over the years and fought bravely in battles in the north and south to kill the enemy. In the end, we are getting worse every day. Who did we provoke whom?

"..."

The soldiers behind the brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were also shocked by this scene. Fortunately, they were far away and didn't know what happened. They just didn't understand why Liu Bei suddenly burst into tears.

"this……"

Wu Liang didn't expect Liu Bei's reaction to be so violent. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. He could only glance at Zhen Mi in his arms.

Although Liu Bei is famous for "crying" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is never any record of this in the official history, not even a single word.

"It's not my fault. It's just that they themselves felt wronged and are ashamed of themselves."

Zhen Mi said confidently. After speaking, she lowered her voice very low. She hugged Wu Liang's neck with her backhand and pulled him down a little. She raised her head and blew fairy air into his ear and said softly, "I do this.

I have my own reasons, you just need to know that I will only help you and will never harm you."

This posture is a little bit over the top.
