Liu Biao cried bitterly, not because his Zhennan general had become insignificant, but because Xinye was lost. Xinye was Liu Biao's only territory in Jiangbei. When Long Fei came back from Chenliu, he killed a carbine by the way, and then
Xinye, who had no soldiers or generals, easily captured it. The door to Xiangyang was now wide open, like a girl who had taken off her clothes, allowing the dragon to ravage her.
Liu Bei knelt in front of Liu Biao and said, "Your Majesty, my grandson is incompetent. I wanted to attack Yuzhou by surprise and let the Grandfather gain more land in Yuzhou. But I didn't expect that I would even lose the new country. Please punish me!"
According to the seniority of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was the grandson of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Biao was the uncle of Liu Xie. In this way, he was indeed a grandson. As a grandson, his grandson knelt on the ground and begged himself, saying that he could not do anything.
He said harsh words. Liu Biao waved his hand: "Forget it, get up! Originally I couldn't stay in Xiangyang anymore, but now that Xinye is lost, I can take this opportunity to move out of Xiangyang."
"Thank you, Grandpa, for your kindness! My grandson will definitely try his best to assist Grandpa and govern Jingzhou together!" Liu Bei wiped his tears and stood silently beside Liu Biao.
Liu Biao smiled: "The emperor and his subordinates have many capable generals, but they are just unlucky!"
Liu Bei hurriedly shook his head: "My grandson is willing to follow the Grand Duke to restore our Han Dynasty and revive our great Han Dynasty."
Liu Biao nodded: "The emperor and his grandson are indomitable people, but I am sorry for my two children. The second son Liu Cong was born to the Cai family. He is very well-behaved, but he is still young. The eldest son Liu Qi is a bit dull, addicted to drinking and sex, and it is difficult to achieve great things.
The most important thing is that Cai is now in power and has troops and horses. I will be over sixty in a few years. I don’t know what will happen to Jingzhou in a hundred years!"
"Grandpa is in good health and will be fine!" Liu Bei listened to Liu Biao's tone and was interested in his son Liu Cong, so he turned his eyes and said: "Since ancient times, the elders and the young have been ordered in an orderly manner. There is no good result in abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones. I hope the grandpa will think twice."
, Grandpa is benevolent and has the style of a grandpa. If he can govern Jingzhou with kindness, then the world will be peaceful. With my help, he will be able to defend the territory and prevent powerful enemies from spying on him."
Hearing this, a little maid serving tea accidentally knocked over Liu Biao's tea bowl, and the tea spilled on Liu Biao's robe. The maid was frightened and quickly knelt down. Liu Biao looked at it and saw that it was just a little water stain.
He didn't pay much attention and let the maid go down. The maid came out of the room and hurried to the backyard. As soon as she turned in the door of Cai's room, she couldn't wait to shout: "Madam! Madam! Something happened!"
Liu Biao's wife, Cai Shi, is Cai Mao's sister. She was sitting by the window watching her son Liu Cong practice calligraphy. The little maid knelt on the ground with a bang: "Madam, it's not good, something big has happened."
Lady Cai is a lady from a well-known family. She is deeply influenced by the Cai family tradition. She is not surprised when things change. She behaves in a well-behaved manner and is generous with her actions. She treats her servants very well. This little maid is one of them. However, don’t think that Lady Cai is a virtuous person.
Wives and loving mothers, people living at the top of society, both men and women, know the darkness of political struggle. The Cai family has always been a powerful family in Jingzhou. All state shepherds and governors must first visit the Cai family when they come to Jingzhou. Women who come from the Cai family are not
The empress and noble concubine must at least be the wife of a feudal official. If she can be cruel, she will be even more ruthless than some men.
Ms. Cai smiled slightly: "Get up! What happened?"
The little maid quickly told the story of the conversation between Liu Biao and Liu Bei. Ms. Cai was also surprised. How could he not understand such a key point? He smiled at the maid, casually took off a bracelet and handed it to the maid: "Little maid.
Hong, thank you, you did this very well, I understand, you can go down!"
The little maid thanked her profusely and left with the bracelet in her hands. Cai quickly called her confidant and asked her to go find Cai Hao. Cai Hao came in a hurry. When Cai told her what had happened, Cai Hao was furious: "You Liu Bei, you dared to instigate your brother-in-law."
If Liu Qi is established, what kind of future can that greedy and lustful guy have? If not, I will lead my troops to destroy Liu Bei!"
Cai hurriedly stopped: "Second brother, don't fight and kill at every turn. Your brother-in-law is just soft-hearted. He still knows who Liu Qi is. You go contact Zhang Yun. From today on, no one from us will be here."
You must not let that Liu Bei see your brother-in-law alone, and you cannot keep that Liu Qi, of course, without risking his life. After all, he is of the Liu family's blood, I will handle other matters."
"Don't worry, sister, I know what to do!" Cai Hao agreed and went to arrange the arrangements.
Liu Bei lost Xinye and had to return to Xiangyang. Liu Biao gave him an abandoned military camp outside the city and asked him to garrison the army. Liu Bei's defeat in Runan did have a benefit. After crossing the Huaihe River, he was worried about Cao Jun's army.
Chasing from behind, he panicked and rushed into Shuijing Manor unintentionally. Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Zhuge Xuan, and Huang Chengyan were all there. Liu Bei arrived uninvited, broke in through the door, and was shocked to see several people.
For a moment I didn't know whether to leave or stay.
When Sima Hui saw Liu Bei, he laughed loudly: "God's will! It's God's will. Liu Huangsun please come in quickly."
Liu Bei didn't expect that these old men actually knew him, so he hurriedly saluted politely. Speaking of this sneak attack on Runan, Liu Bei was filled with emotion. If it weren't for the bravery of his generals, he might have been dead for a long time. Pang Degong smiled slightly:
"The three generals under the imperial grandson, Guan, Zhang and Taishi are all enemies of ten thousand people, but it is a pity that there is no one to lead them. Sun Qian is a scribe, Jian Yongping is mediocre, and Mi Zhu is a gangster. If there is a governor, the emperor will be prosperous.
The water rises."
"Liu Bei has been working hard for half his life to restore the Han Dynasty. I beg some of my father-in-laws to help me. Liu Bei is grateful!" Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down to invite him.
Huang Chengyan shook his head slightly. Zhuge Xuandao said: "The emperor and grandson have lived in Jingzhou for a long time. Haven't you ever heard this saying, a sleeping dragon and a phoenix can make the world peaceful?"
Liu Bei shook his head: "I have little talent and little knowledge, but I have heard it before, but I don't know what it means!"
Zhu Ge
Everyone is a great sage, and they can handle millions of heroes in their hearts. If you get one of them, it will be easy to revitalize the Han Dynasty!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Xuan shouted into the room: "Kong Ming, you haven't come out to meet the guests yet!"
A young man in his twenties came out of the room. He was handsome but had a dull face. The expression on his face was as calm as water. Zhuge Xuan introduced: "This is Wolong Zhuge Liang. Today I will introduce him to Liu Huangsun and Kong Ming."
, quickly pay homage to the lord!"
Zhuge Liang still looked like that and bowed to Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up, his face full of joy: "This is Wolong. I wonder where Mr. Fengchu is?"
Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment: "The hearts of the people are not enough, even if you get Wolong, you still want Fengxia!" He snorted coldly, turned around and went into the house.
Sima Hui hurriedly smiled and said: "Pang Shiyuan's whereabouts are uncertain. If the emperor and grandson are destined to meet each other, they will meet each other. Today, with Wolong, the emperor and grandson can return to Xinye with peace of mind. They will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Zhuge Liang was serious about his words and sat quietly along the way. He didn't say a word without being asked. Even Liu Bei's questions were answered very simply. Liu Bei asked: "Mr. Kong Ming, what should we do when we go to Xinye? Now we have no subordinates."
The soldiers, horses, and food and grass have been cut off by Long Fei again, so I'm afraid the new country cannot be defended."
Zhuge Liang was as calm as water: "Return to Xiangyang!"
"How can we gain a foothold when we return to Xiangyang?" Liu Bei then asked: "Although Liu Biao in Xiangyang is also the royal family of the Han Dynasty, we have lost the new country. How can we see Liu Biao again? If Liu Biao blames us, it will be a disaster for us to go. Besides, this is Xiangyang.
Liu Biao, we have no chance!"
"Wait!" Two words again.
In this way, when Long Fei attacked Xinye, Liu Bei retreated without a fight. After arriving in Xiangyang, Liu Bei was cautious and careful in doing things. Today, he may have felt that this was the opportunity for Zhuge Liang to say what he said. He left Zhoumu
When he saw the number of soldiers outside the mansion increased a lot, Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly got on his horse and fled out of the city. Returning to the camp, he told everyone about the incident.
Zhuge Liang still has two words: "Confused!"
Everyone was puzzled. Sun Qian nodded: "Jingzhou is named Liu Biao's occupation, but it actually depends on the support of the Cai family and the Kuai family. The Lord's words have offended the Cai family. The Cai family controls the troops and horses of Jingzhou. If they come to attack, without us
benefit."
Liu Bei also regretted a little, but he couldn't take back what he had said. He asked Zhuge Liang again for advice. Zhuge Liang said: "Wait!"
More than ten days later, the Prefectural Mufu Mansion suddenly sent someone with news that Liu Biao was critically ill. Liu Bei felt something was wrong. The visitor asked Liu Bei to go immediately, but Liu Bei did not dare to go. Zhuge Liang pointed at Taishi Ci and said, "Follow me!"
Liu Biao was indeed critically ill. After talking to Liu Bei that day, he fell ill after dinner. He invited many doctors to see him and took a lot of medicine. Instead of getting better, his condition became worse and worse. Liu Biao saw Cai
He glanced at her and pointed at her, babbling and speechless. Cai cried like a man in tears and grabbed Liu Biao's hand. Liu Biao tried hard to break away, but to no avail.
Mrs. Cai lay on Liu Biao's chest, nodding her head while crying, and kept saying: "Don't worry, I will do what you want! I will take good care of our Cong'er, woo woo woo..."
When Liu Bei came, Liu Biao's eyes were dull and his whole body was a little stiff. Just as Liu Bei was about to step forward, Cai Mao glared at him, and Liu Bei hurriedly shrank back. Liu Biao looked at him for a long time, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he lay on the couch.
He opened his eyes and took his breath.
Mrs. Cai wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and took out a piece of silk from her arms: "Everyone, this is the suicide note written by your lord a few days ago. It has been confirmed that Liu Cong will inherit the position of Zhou Mu and Liu Qi will be appointed as the prefect of Jiangxia.
Anyone who has any objections can come up and have a look."
The footsteps of soldiers came from outside the door, and everyone understood immediately. No one dared to go up. Liu Qi cried so hard that he was pulled by two servants to prevent him from getting close to Liu Biao. Cai Hao was the first to kneel down to Liu Biao.
Cong saluted, Liu Bei followed closely, and things in Jingzhou suddenly changed.
