Although the doors and windows in the room were closed, Liu Bei's curses could still be clearly heard in the room, making Liu Cong feel ashamed and angry, and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
As we all know, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Liu Bei used this to accuse Liu Cong of being a man without a father or brother. Such an accusation is enough to completely destroy a person, and no one can bear it.
Not to mention Liu Cong, Zhang Yun couldn't stand hearing it any longer. He stood up angrily and said, "Liu Bei is a common man! He blocked the door and cursed, which is too much! I will go out and capture him right away..."
"Forget it." Liu Cong thought for a moment and did not agree.
Yesterday, before his father died, he entrusted Liu Bei with the task of "treating him as a father." He also paid homage to Liu Bei as his nephew in front of his father and all the ministers in Jingzhou. The two parties have already decided on their relationship. It is best not to fall out.
Fall out.
Besides, Liu Bei is not that easy to deal with. His subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both outnumbered and extremely brave. Even if they are protected by hundreds of soldiers, they are not safe. If they are killed and killed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Yun sat back down and said, "Then let him block the door and curse?"
Liu Cong said: "When he has scolded enough, he will leave naturally."
As if to confirm his words, Liu Bei's scolding began to weaken after a while, until it completely disappeared, and Liu Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Outside the official residence, Guan Yu stood erect, stroking his thick long beard. Although there were many soldiers on the opposite side, he regarded them like chickens and dogs. He said to Liu Bei: "General, why don't we escort you in and ask you face to face?"
I understand."
Zhang Fei echoed: "Fei is willing to be the vanguard and fight a bloody path for the general."
Liu Bei's expression kept changing. For a long time, the word "go" popped out from between his teeth.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, said nothing more, and silently followed Liu Bei away.
Upon returning to his residence, Liu Bei immediately sent someone to summon his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
Soon, all the ministers arrived. In addition to Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Liu Yan and other old ministers who had followed Liu Bei through life and death for many years, there were also Liu Yong, Hao Pu and others who were newly recruited by Liu Bei after coming to Jingzhou.
, looking around, it can be said that there are many talents.
However, these people with extraordinary talents are all at a loss to deal with their current situation.
Liu Jing's tens of thousands of cavalry came from the south and approached Xiangyang. His navy blocked the Hanmian River, which not only blocked the incoming reinforcements from the northern troops, but also blocked their way back north.
Now, there are only two choices before them, either death or surrender.
Guan Yu said gloomily: "Do we really want to follow Liu Cong and surrender to Liu Jing?"
Guan Yu had great scruples about surrendering to Liu Jing. After all, Chu Fang, Liu Jing's top general, died in his hands, and even his head was taken back to Xiangyang as a trophy.
Guan Yu asked himself, if he was killed, Liu Bei would definitely avenge him at all costs. Liu Jing must be the same.
Perhaps Liu Jing would not kill him immediately because of his reputation, but in the future he would kill him for any reason. A real man, how can his life and death be in the hands of others?
Liu Bei naturally knew what Guan Yu was worried about, and he was unwilling to give in to Liu Jing, a yellow-mouthed boy. But now that the way back north was cut off, there was no other way out except surrender.
Liu Bei remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn. At this moment, Liu Yong from Zhangling County suddenly said: "Since the general does not want to go south, he can go west."
"Going west?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
Most of Liu Bei and his ministers were from the north. They had been in Jingzhou for only a year and were not very familiar with the geography of Jingzhou. They only knew that to the west of Xiangyang was Hanzhong, which was ruled by the rice thief Zhang Lu.
Could it be that Liu Yong wanted them to go to Hanzhong and seek refuge with Zhang Lu? Liu Bei and others were greatly surprised.
Only Hao Pu and other Jingzhou natives vaguely guessed Liu Yong's intentions.
Liu Yong came to the hall, used a stick as a pen and water as ink, and drew a circle on the ground. He said: "General, gentlemen, look, this is Xiangyang." Then he drew three consecutive pictures on the west side of Xiangyang.
A circle was introduced from near to far: "This is Fangling County in Hanzhong County (Yizhou), this is Shangyong County, this is Xicheng County..."
"Historical Records" records that Fanling: "Thousands of miles across, it is surrounded by mountains and forests. It is a high mausoleum, just like there are houses." Hence the name. Shangyong, Xicheng and other counties are also surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous.
During the Chuping period, Zhang Lu, under the orders of Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, led his army to the north, attacked and killed Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, and stole Hanzhong.
Because the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng were far away from the Hanzhong Basin and faced dangerous mountains and rivers, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhang Lu simply gave up the management of the three counties because they were beyond his reach.
On the other side, Liu Biao also regarded the three counties as a buffer between him and Zhang Lu. For more than ten years, the three counties became a no-nonsense zone.
Of course Liu Yong did not ask Liu Bei to seek refuge with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was a monster and a thief, and An Neng could do so.
I saw Liu Yong draw a huge circle in the southwest of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng counties, and wrote the character "Ba" in it.
Everyone, including Liu Bei, suddenly realized that this Ba was none other than Ba County of Yizhou.
Liu Yong's intention is already obvious, which is to let Liu Bei pass through the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng, go south to Bashu, and join Liu Zhang in Yizhou.
Liu Yong said: "Yizhou has thousands of miles of fertile land. The country is rich and the people are strong. With a household registration of one million, it is a land of abundance. However, the herdsman of Yizhou, Liu Zhang, is cowardly and suspicious. He is not a human master. There are Pang Xi, Li Yi and other generals who are arrogant and domineering because of their achievements."
In order to control the situation, there is Zhang Lu who dominates Hanzhong and repeatedly invades Badi..."
"The general is a member of the royal family. He is extremely talented and admired by the world. If Liu Zhang hears that the general has come to surrender, he will be overjoyed and hold it in his heart. At that time, the general may wish to offer to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong for Liu Zhang in order to obtain troops, horses and military resources.
."
Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't hold it any longer and got up suddenly.
Liu Yong took a breath and continued: "The land of Hanzhong is rich and fertile, and it is dangerous and solid on all sides, which is enough to establish a foundation. Zhang Lu is a monster and thief. He uses ghosts and gods to fool the people. It is not a concern. The general will go to fight with everyone."
Ke. On the day of Ke Ding, the farmers will accumulate grain and raise the scholars. Up above, you can help the Han Dynasty and serve as Huan and Wen. Down below, you can stick to the dangerous points and observe the world."
Liu Yong's words made Liu Bei feel like he was setting aside the clouds and seeing the bright moon. He walked around the case, took Liu Yong's hand, and praised: "Nan He is really a genius of Chu!" Then he looked around,
He said to the ministers: "I want to enter Shu. What do you think?"
Naturally, no one objected. Since Liu Bei raised his army, he has been defeated many times, and many of his foundations have been lost. Those who are not determined have long since left.
Without further ado, Liu Bei immediately asked everyone to go back and pack their bags. Liu Jing's army will arrive in Xiangyang in one or two days. If they don't leave today, it will be difficult to escape.
In the afternoon, Liu Bei sent someone to send a farewell letter to Liu Cong, and then took the remaining 300 cavalry and family members straight to the west gate of Xiangyang. The city gate captain did not dare to stop him and obediently let him go.
