Chapter 2206: Chen Ping devised a poisonous plan and Liu Yu entered the tiger's den
“Mr. Wang Yue, there is no need to be polite.”
Liu Ji spoke softly and slowly, looking weak and extremely weak.
Zhao Yun's arrow injured his internal organs and almost killed Liu Ji. Even if Liu Ji was out of danger now, he would have to recuperate for a year or two before he could fully recover.
Liu Ji should not have been in Chengdu. After all, his injury was too serious and he should rest. The fatigue of traveling will only aggravate the injury and is not conducive to recovery.
But the incompetent brother in Chengdu took advantage of his injury and joined forces with an outsider, Liu Yu, to stab him in the back.
If Liu Ji does not come back to take charge of the overall situation, the future Shu Kingdom may still be named Liu, but it is not necessarily Liu Ke.
After listening to Wang Yue's report, Liu Ji's eyes were full of anger, his chest heaved violently, and he coughed angrily.
“Ahem…”
While coughing, Liu Ji coughed up a streak of blood, which shocked both Chen Ping and Wang Yue.
“My lord, calm down, you can’t get angry now.” Chen Ping advised.
Hua Tuo also hurriedly stepped forward to check Liu Ji's condition. After making a diagnosis, he said to everyone: "The King of Shu is not seriously injured, but his injury has not healed. He returned to Chengdu after a long journey, and his body was too weak. He acted in anger." in this way.
Next, the King of Shu needs to rest for half a year to recover his vitality. During this period, he cannot worry or get angry, and he should speak as little as possible. Otherwise, if the injury worsens, it will be difficult for even the Great Luo Immortal to treat him. "
“Thank you so much for the miracle doctor.”
Chen Ping and Wang Yue quickly thanked him, but Liu Ji had a look of unwillingness on his face and asked weakly: "Miracle Doctor Hua, half a year is too long. I can't wait so long. Can you recover quickly?"
Hua Tuo had a straight face and said seriously: "King Shu, do you know how lucky you are? General Zilong's arrow almost hit your heart. If Huang Hansheng or Xue Rengui came to shoot you, you would definitely die."
If it were anyone else, even if the heart was not hit, such an injury would definitely lead to death. However, Your Highness, you only need to recuperate for half a year, which is already the fastest recovery speed..."
Hua Tuo was afraid that Liu Ji would not understand the seriousness and commit suicide, so he kept talking for more than ten minutes, and Liu Ji listened patiently. After all, it was about his life, and finally gave up the idea of doing anything personally.
After Hua Tuo left, Liu Ji looked at Chen Ping and said with a wry smile: "Military advisor, I will leave the Kingdom of Shu to you."
“My lord, don’t worry, Chen Ping will protect the kingdom of Shu.” Chen Ping said firmly.
Before, he was careless and failed to discover the problem of Gaoyao. This was his mistake in Chen Ping's view. Now he will never allow Liu Yu to shake the foundation of Shu.
"But military advisor, Liu Yu did not lead his troops into the city, so the follow-up plan cannot be carried out. What should we do next?" Wang Yue said.
After Liu Ji woke up, he was ready to show up and let the senior officials of Shu know that he was still alive, but was stopped by Chen Ping.
The reason why Chen Ping deliberately kept Liu Ji from showing up was naturally to test Liu Yu to see if he would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
If Liu Yu couldn't help but take the opportunity to cause trouble, it would be tantamount to betraying the Southern Han Dynasty, and then Shu could annex Liu Yu openly.
Not only did he get rid of a big enemy and unify Yizhou, but he could also use this to recover from the wounds of the war. It could be said that he accomplished multiple things with one stone.
The reason why the Shu Kingdom has kept Liu Yu is not because of lack of strength, but because there is no suitable reason. If Liu Yu is forcibly annexed, it will worry that the Tang, Sui, and Chu kingdoms will leave the Southern Han Dynasty.
But if Liu Yu took the initiative to betray the court, Shu would be suppressing the rebellion by annexing Liu Yu, and countries such as Tang, Sui, and Chu would have no reason to accuse Shu.
Of course, if Liu Yu had held back and not taken the opportunity to cause trouble, then even Chen Ping would have been unable to stop Liu Yu.
However, Chen Ping knew that Liu Yu had been enduring humiliation and burden over the years, so he would not miss this opportunity. As Chen Ping expected, Liu Yu really planned to take the opportunity to send troops, but he never expected that Liu Bian would get involved and betray his brother to help an outsider.
Although Liu Yu's political skills are far inferior to those of Liu Ji, he is highly intelligent and naturally understands the difference between directly raising troops and issuing an edict to return to Beijing.
For Chen Ping, the nature of Liu Yu's return to Beijing with or without an imperial edict is completely different, and the means of dealing with him are naturally completely different.
Without an imperial edict, Liu Yu was actively treason, and Chen Ping could attack Liu Yu without any scruples and directly swallow up his army and destroy his country.
If there is an imperial edict, and Liu Yu returns to the capital according to the edict, then Chen Ping must exercise restraint, otherwise the name will not be justified and the words will not go smoothly.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Ji, who was worried that the situation would get out of control, returned to Chengdu at the risk of worsening his injuries and sent Wang Yue to win Liu Bian's support.
But Liu Ji never expected that his good-for-nothing brother who didn't even dare to breathe in front of him would dare to disobey him this time.
But it doesn’t matter, even without Liu Bian, Liu Ji can still put the label of treason on Liu Yu, it’s just a little more troublesome.
Chen Ping had set up an ambush in the city in advance. As long as Liu Yu led his army to enter Chengdu forcibly, he would declare that Liu Yu was the second Dong Zhuo, and it would be a game of catching a turtle in a jar.
But what Chen Ping once again failed to expect was that Liu Yu did not lead his troops directly into the city. Instead, he camped on the spot and only led a few hundred personal guards into the city to meet Liu Bian. This once again made Chen Ping's plan go to waste.
Twice in a row, Chen Ping suffered defeat from Liu Yu. This time, Chen Ping thought Liu Yu had an expert behind him, so he acted more cautiously.
“Military advisor, since Liu Yu has taken the initiative to enter the city, he has put his life and death in my hands. In my humble opinion, it is better to go directly..."
As he said this, Wang Yue made a gesture of wiping his neck. The meaning was self-evident, but Chen Ping and Liu Ji both refused.
“No.” Chen Ping and Liu Ji said in unison.
"If this is the case, it will be equivalent to forcing the 100,000 troops outside the city to rebel. If there is an invasion of barbarians from outside and the rebellion of internal rebels, our country of Shu may be destroyed, and it will only benefit Qin Hao in the end." Chen Ping said with a serious face. .
Liu Ji also nodded in agreement. He did not want to take advantage of Chi You because of internal strife with Liu Yu.
“What should we do?” Wang Yue asked.
"It's not difficult to get rid of Liu Yu. What's difficult is not to catch anyone's attention, not to leave any clues, and to stabilize the army outside the city."
Chen Ping's eyes were full of evil, and he said in a deep voice: "So, we can't kill openly, we can only assassinate, and it can't be done by our people."

The south gate of Chengdu. At this time, the city gate has been opened, welcoming Liu Yu, the king of Chengdu, to enter.
Liu Yu looked into the city from the city gate. What he saw in front of him was clearly windy and sunny, but Liu Yu felt that there were gusty winds and evil spirits permeating the city, just like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
“Big brother…”
Liu Er rode over, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Liu Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Let's enter the city."
Then he took the lead, led a group of personal guards, and Liu Er, and resolutely entered what he saw as the dragon's pond and tiger's den.
