"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi?!" This was really good news! Who is Xu Shu? No one doesn't know him! He is a character comparable to Brother Zhu and Chick Feng! When he was young, he was a scoundrel like Gan Ning. He liked to practice swordsmanship and help the weak. Later, he was arrested by the government for avenging someone. After escaping, he changed his name and went to a Confucian school to study Confucianism. He studied for ten years! After ten years, he went to Liu Bei to be a strategist. His talent can be said to be earth-shattering. Liu Bei obtained Brother Zhu and Chick Feng under his schemes. Even Cao Cao had to use Xu Shu's mother as a threat to get rid of Xu Shu! Otherwise, Xu Shu would definitely be another big enemy of Cao Cao. With Xu Shu, Brother Zhu and Chick Feng, these three great strategists, it is not certain who will rule the world.
Now, such a great talent unexpectedly sought refuge with Liu Mang. Liu Mang unknowingly sought refuge with Liu Mang! Liu Mang felt that happiness came too suddenly and was hard to grasp. Liu Mang almost pinched himself. Originally, he thought that it would be enough to trick a few generals and a few grassroots officials! Who knew that there would be so many big fishes! To be honest, Liu Mang did not lack top-notch generals! After all, there was Old Man Huang, Gan Ning and Xu Sheng! However, there was a shortage of strategists! Yang Hong could only be a diplomat and an intelligence chief. Let him give advice! Liu Mang let Gan Ning give advice instead of Yang Hong! But now, Xu Shu's appearance gave Liu Mang hope. It allowed him to get rid of the predicament of not having a strategist!
Originally, Xu Shu only came to see what the recruitment order was all about. As for Liu Mang, Xu Shu said this to him. He was very conflicted about Liu Mang. He admired Liu Mang's achievements from Xiapi to Kaiyang and then to Wancheng City! Liu Mang stood out in all of these places! Even Xu Shu knew about the battle of words with the scholars at Sun Ce's banquet! Therefore, Xu Shu paid a lot of attention to this person. Most importantly! Xu Shu's classmate, Yu Fan! Ever since he came back from Langye, he had been following Liu Mang. So, Xu Shu followed him as well.
However, Liu Mang made Xu Shu very uncomfortable. That is, Liu Mang massacred all the nobles in Wancheng city. Not even a blade of grass was left alive! Say, at least keep a few children! However, Liu Mang's plan was to eliminate the weeds by the roots! Moreover, the families of the private soldiers who were involved were also taken care of! This was one of Xu Shu's criticisms of Liu Mang. He killed too many people, almost catching up with Cao Cao! The reason why Xu Shu didn't go to Cao Cao's place and didn't want to help Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was too bloodthirsty. This was something Xu Shu didn't want.
Moreover, there was one thing that Xu Shu appreciated about Liu Mang. Liu Mang was the King Of Shu of the Han dynasty! He was a member of the Great Han Imperial Clan! This was what Xu Shu admired the most! Xu Shu had studied Confucianism for so many years, and he knew what Confucianism was all about! Be loyal to the Emperor, love the Heavens, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers! This monarch was even more powerful than his master!
This time, Xu Shu only came to take a look. He still hadn't made up his mind on who to support! He came as soon as the recruitment notice came out! From the moment Liu Mang arrived at this place, Xu Shu knew that this person was Liu Mang! This was because the guards around him, as well as the old general, were exactly the same as what Xu Shu had described about the people around Liu Mang!
In the end, as expected, Liu Mang's identity was exposed! Liu Mang wanted him to punish his subordinates. Originally, Xu Shu and Wei Yan thought that this was just a way for the King Of Shu to deceive others, or a way to win people's hearts! Therefore, Xu Shu was very disdainful and prepared to expose him! However, who knew that when he went up, he would receive Liu Mang's killing intent. Liu Mang almost pulled out his long sword and killed Xu Shu!
Xu Shu was not an ordinary scholar! When he was young, he was also a person who practiced with spears and sticks. It could be said that Xu Shu's martial arts were not bad! Moreover, Xu Shu had also killed people before. Naturally, he could see the anger in Liu Mang's eyes. If it wasn't for his last bit of rationality, Xu Shu doubted whether he could protect the head on his neck.
From the moment Liu Mang wanted to kill him! Xu Shu knew that he had found a wise master! This person was the one he had been looking for! Originally, that black fatty Pang Tong had recommended him to Runan's Emperor Liu, but Xu Shu insisted on coming here. Now, it seemed that he had made the right bet!
Liu Mang's eyes were still filled with excitement and killing intent. His emotions were highly unstable. "Mr. Xu Shu, please rise! Mr. Xu wants to assist Hanyang, Hanyang is very happy. However, there is one thing that Mr. Xu must remember. In our army, there is no such thing as lowly or noble! Everyone is equal! When they came, they came naked, and when they died, they also left naked. Even the great ancestor was only the head of a pavilion. How many of those descendants of landowning clans had been true nobles for generations until now? They also didn't start as farmers, peddlers, or pawns! "
Liu Mang's voice was a little hoarse, but his voice was very loud, so that everyone below could hear him. "Nobles and generals are better than nobles. I, Liu Mang, do not distinguish between nobles and lowly, only those with talent and those without talent! You have talent! I, Liu Mang, will put you in an important position. Maybe you will be nobles, generals, or ministers, or your descendants will be the current nobles, or the current aristocratic families! "
"Nobles and generals are better than nobles!" Xu Shu was a little stunned. Not only was Xu Shu stunned, everyone below was stunned! What is this Liu Mang saying! Living and dying together, sharing riches and honor is already very rebellious! Now, this sentence came out, who said it! It was said by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang during the uprising! It was said by them when they wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.
This King Of Shu, his highness, said this. Was he really ambitious, or was he just saying it casually? Those who could think were confused! For example, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Zhao Yun, Wang Wei, and some other scholars!
However, some people's eyes were burning, such as the poisonous tongue Wei Yan, and the generals who came to join Liu Mang! Their eyes were burning, what was their purpose of coming here! Wasn't it to find a person who could give them a chance to appreciate them! Now, Liu Mang's rebellious words were telling them, "Come on! If you have the ability, come on! What I am doing is rebelling, I want to be the Emperor! " In the future, you will be the ministers of the Emperor, you will be the generals, nobles, generals, and ministers!
Wei Yan opened his mouth, "Haha, I like it, I like it!" Before he finished laughing, he slapped again, "You like my ass!"
There were some people who looked at Liu Mang with vigilance. They were some older scholars and those who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty.
"Shi Xiang! You secretly hid wine, according to the law, you should be flogged 80 times, but as the general, I can't escape the blame, so I will take 80 flogs, and you will take 40 flogs, immediately! "Liu Mang didn't hesitate! Previously, Liu Mang might have revealed his true feelings, especially when he was fighting with Xu Shu, but now, it was all an act! This act couldn't be ignored. He wanted to give everyone the impression that he, Liu Mang, was fair in his rewards and punishments, and that he, Liu Mang, loved his subordinates.
"My Lord!" Chengyu still wanted to persuade, but under Liu Mang's fierce gaze, he could only sigh and order someone to bring the flogs. After a while, the flogs were brought over.
Liu Mang and Shi Xiang were pressed to the ground, "Execute!" Only Liu Mang was lying on the ground and executing himself.
"Pa pa pa!" The flogs hit Liu Mang and Shi Xiang's bodies one after another. These flogs couldn't be faked, because there were many generals below. They could tell at a glance whether the flogs were real or not. Therefore, all the flogs hit the flesh everywhere.
"Once, twice! Three times, four times! … … Nine times, ten times! " After ten flogs, their pants were already stained with blood. This kind of pain wasn't something ordinary people could endure. This wasn't like being spanked by their parents when they were young. That would only hurt the flesh, but this time, it would hurt the insides.
"Eleven, twelve, thirteen … … Nineteen, twenty!" Twenty. If they had a weaker physique, they would have already fainted. Liu Mang and Shi Xiang were still able to endure, but their pants were already torn apart.
"Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three … … …. Twenty-nine, thirty!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead. His buttocks were almost numb. Not to mention the flogs landing on them, even a light touch would cause unbearable pain!
"General, General! Let me receive the eighty strikes of the plank! General, that's enough! Shi Xiang knows how much you've done for him! General, please stop! " Shi Xiang looked at Liu Mang, who was as bloody as him. Which general would beat himself to death just to plead for mercy for his soldiers like Liu Mang?
"Continue!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth and shouted. He didn't want to! But if he gave up now, wouldn't it be a waste of the previous flogging?
"Thirty-one, thirty-two … … …. Thirty-nine, forty!" Shi Xiang fainted from the flogging. However, Shi Xiang's flogging punishment had ended. He was carried to the side and a doctor rushed forward to treat him.
No matter how much Liu Mang thought about it, he would also be beaten to death like Shi Xiang! That would be so blissful and wouldn't hurt, but Liu Mang couldn't!
"Hit!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Forty, forty-one … …. Fifty!"
"Fifty-one, fifty-two … … …. Sixty!"
"Cough cough" The flogging didn't just hurt his butt, it also hurt his internal organs. Liu Mang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
"General, let's stop, please stop! Chengyu, I beg you, I beg you! "Chengyu panicked. Liu Mang rarely vomited blood even when he fought with others! But now, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood!
"Little Lord, please stop, please stop!" Huang Zhong also knelt down, followed by Huang Xu and the City Guard soldiers. Even the commoners who had just arrived at Hefei also knelt down. This person was too cruel to himself. Would he die for cheating!
"No, hit!" Liu Mang couldn't speak clearly anymore. His consciousness was starting to fade. But he was still able to say these words.
"Sixty-one, sixty-two … … sixty-seven!" Liu Mang could no longer hear the sound of the number being shouted because he finally fainted from happiness!
