Chengdu, inside the imperial palace.
“Your Majesty, you are confused.”
Wang Yue looked at Liu Bian and said with hatred: "Even if you and the King of Shu have conflicts, they are still brothers after all, and Liu Yu is an outsider."
"Brother? I regard the King of Shu as my brother, but Liu Ji does not regard me as his brother."
Liu Bian sneered and shouted at Wang Yue: "Even if I am a puppet, a puppet is still a human being and has dignity. Did Liu Ji give me any respect?"
Wang Yue opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Wang Yue had seen everything Liu Ji had done over the years, and everything was impeccable. In him, Wang Yue saw the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, but Liu Ji was really too harsh on Liu Bian. .
Liu Ji's attitude toward Liu Bian was no longer distasteful, but outright hatred.
Liu Jihui relied on his status as an elder brother to habitually reprimand Liu Bian, and even beat and scolded him. He also blamed Liu Bian and Liu Hong's father and son for the Hanhui's current situation.
Even though Liu Bian was just a puppet, he was still the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty in name. Liu Ji ignored his brotherhood and humiliated Liu Bian like this. How did Liu Bian suffer?
In Liu Bian's opinion, Dong Zhuo treated him better than Liu Ji. Although Dong Zhuo was cruel and lawless, at least he would not take pleasure in torturing and humiliating him. However, his half-brother always took pleasure in humiliating him. For fun.
Had I known that this would happen, it would be better to go and seek refuge with Qin Hao directly. With Liu Mu at his side, Qin Hao would not be able to mistreat him.
Liu Bian actually envied his younger brother Liu Xie very much. Liu Xie was doing trouble every day in Qin, constantly touching Qin Hao's bottom line, but Qin Hao still respected Liu Xie very much, and never humiliated him in the slightest, even claiming the title of king. Also rejected three times.
But what about Liu Bian? He honestly acted as Liu Ji's puppet. He agreed with everything Liu Ji said, and even went against the ancestral precepts of Li Shimin, Yang Guang and other people with foreign surnames to make him king, but in return he was beaten and scolded by his own brother.
Xie'er, ah Xie'er, everyone is a puppet, why is there such a big gap in treatment?
Unable to bear it, Liu Bancai decided to collude with Liu Yu and use Liu Yu to check and balance Liu Ji.
He doesn’t know if this is the right thing to do, and whether the days in the future will become easier, but if he doesn’t do this, he really won’t be able to survive.
Wang Yue also couldn't understand why Liu Ji was so tolerant to outsiders, but so harsh on his brother Liu Bian and Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan. In the end, it could only be attributed to Liu Ji being dissatisfied with the Liu family, and even more so with his biological father Liu Hong. He had long-standing grievances, so he vented his grievances on his half-brother Liu Bian.
Wang Yue felt guilty for Liu Bian. After all, he was the one who brought Liu Bian to Yizhou in the first place, which meant that he pushed Liu Bian into a pit of fire, but he would not help Liu Bian rebel against Liu Ji because of this.
After Wang Yue took refuge with Liu Ji, not only was he reused, but with the help of Liu Ji, he relied on the peasant family to break through the great master. How can such kindness be shaken by a little guilt.
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu is indeed a little harsh on you, but the revival of the Han Dynasty depends on the King of Shu. And if you order Liu Yu to come to Beijing this time, aren't you afraid that he will imitate the Dong thief and repeat the Luoyang Rebellion again?"
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Liu Bian sneered: "I feel that Liu Yu is no worse than Liu Ji in terms of running the country or strategy, and in terms of commanding the army to fight, Liu Yu's talent is several times that of Liu Ji. The Battle of Xiangyang If Liu Yu had been in charge, he might not have been defeated, so it might be better for Liu Yu to be in charge of the government."
Liu Yu was indeed inferior to Liu Ji politically, but he was able to defeat Liu Ji militarily.
Liu Ji led many battles with Liu Yu, but never won. If it were not for the assistance of Chen Ping, Xing Tian Houyi and others, Liu Ji would never have been able to defeat Liu Yu.
Liu Ji's military talents are indeed average, but he is very addicted to food. He just likes to lead the army personally, and as a result, he loses every battle.
In the past, those who lost to Liu Yu were small battles with little loss, but this time they lost to Yue Fei in a big battle. They lost most of the country's troops in one battle and almost lost their lives in it.
After hearing what Liu Bian said, Wang Yue's face turned cold. He knew in his heart that Liu Bian had given up on Liu Ji and was ready to turn to Liu Yu completely. He felt angry and helpless in his heart, but he also knew that Liu Bian was responsible for all this. Ji made it himself.
“Your Majesty, the King of Chengdu cannot defeat the King of Shu. Your plan to use the King of Chengdu to check and balance the King of Shu is destined to be impossible to succeed.”
After saying this, Wang Yue turned around and left. The matter had come to this, and it was useless to say more.
He just wanted to save Liu Bian's life, so he came to persuade Liu Bian to turn back. But since Liu Bian was seeking death, there was nothing he could do. Liu Bian fell into deep thought. He felt that there was something in Wang Yue's words, but he didn't know why.
“Your Majesty, the King of Chengdu’s army has arrived outside the city and is currently stationed on the spot. The King of Chengdu led hundreds of his guards into the city and asked to enter the palace to see His Majesty.”
Wu Yihui, the palace guard general, reported that he was currently the only person Liu Bian could trust.
The Wu family of the Shu Army, where Wu Yi belongs, is listed as the "four major commercial families" along with the Qin, Mi, and Zhen families. Now the other three families have all belonged to the Qin State, and only the Wu family serves the Shu State.
Originally Wu Yi served Liu Yu, but Liu Yu was forced to give up Chengdu, and most of the Wu family's property was in the Shu army, so he had no choice but to leave Liu Yu and join Liu Ji.
Liu Yu did not embarrass Wu Yi. Not only did he let him go, but he also returned his wife and children, which also made Wu Yi cry in shame.
After Wu Yi defected to Liu Ji, he was not given any importance by Liu Ji. He was only given a sinecure and dismissed. It was in this way that Liu Bian was able to win Wu Yi over.
After hearing Wu Yi's words, Liu Bian showed surprise and asked hurriedly: "Liu Yu didn't let the army directly enter the city?"
“Yes.” Wu Yi nodded.
Liu Bian was immediately overjoyed. Liu Yu's 100,000 troops came to the city. He could obviously take over Chengdu by force, but he chose to station the army on the spot and only led his personal guards into the city to pay homage. This obviously respected him as the emperor.
With this thought, Liu Bian believed that he was not wrong. Being Liu Yu's puppet was at least better than Liu Ji.
“Send an order for the King of Chengdu to enter the palace to have an audience.” Liu Bian ordered.

On the other side, as soon as Wang Yuecai left the palace, he immediately went to the Shu Palace.
“See Your Majesty, Military Advisor.”
Wang Yue knelt on one knee in front of the bed to salute, and the person lying on the bed was Liu Ji, King of Shu, while military adviser Chen Ping and physician Hua Tuo were standing beside the bed.
Liu Ji was hit by an arrow from Zhao Yun and was indeed seriously injured and dying. He was in a coma for five days. It was not until Chen Ping invited Hua Tuo who was traveling in Yizhou that he saved Liu Ji's life.
The doctors had already taken refuge with Qin Hao, and why did Hua Tuo, the former leader of the doctors, want to save Qin Hao's enemy Liu Ji?
I can only say that doctors are kind-hearted.
Hua Tuo believed that doctors should treat illnesses and save people in a pure way and should not mix other things. Therefore, when saving people, he only looks at good and evil. As long as he thinks he is a good person, he will do his best to cure him.
It is precisely because of this that Hua Tuo saved Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao, and Xiang Yu... and it is the same reason for saving Liu Ji now.
Even if Hua Tuo was more optimistic about Qin Hao and even knew that saving Liu Ji would affect the unification and more people would die, he would still save Liu Ji.
This is Hua Tuo’s medical philosophy.
The reason why Liu Yu dared to lead all the troops to Chengdu was because he thought that Liu Ji was seriously injured and dying. He was still not awake yet, and he was not in Chengdu. The Shu Kingdom was leaderless.
If he knew that Liu Ji, who was supposed to be recuperating in Yiling, was in Chengdu at this time, Liu Yu would not dare to come at all, because this must be a trap specially set for him.
