Seeing that Liu Biao was indifferent, Liu Bei sighed and shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Liu Bei looked lonely, stood up abruptly, pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist with a clang, and strode towards Liu Biao. He had a determined expression, and a solemn expression on his face, looking tragic and awe-inspiring.
When Liu Biao saw Liu Bei approaching with his sword in hand, he felt like a cat being stimulated, his hair stood on end and his spirit became tense.
He grabbed the long sword and shouted: "Liu Xuande, what are you going to do?"
Liu Biao's eyes widened and he stared at Liu Bei warily. He was already thinking that if Liu Bei took another step forward, he would directly call the guards outside the palace to come in and kill Liu Bei.
"thump!"
There was a muffled sound in the hall, and Liu Bei knelt on the ground.
This situation makes people feel extremely surprised.
But the moment Liu Bei lowered his head, a look of humiliation flashed in his eyes. He, Liu Bei, was a man who stood tall and tall, kneeling to the sky, to the ground, to his parents, and to the king, but now he was kneeling to a house-keeping dog with no enterprising spirit.
I feel very sad. In order to survive and build the foundation, I can only kneel down.
The situation was stronger than the people, so Liu Bei had to do this.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Liu Biao, his face regained its composure.
He looked resolute, held up his sword with both hands, and said loudly: "Brother Jingsheng, although you and I are not biological brothers, we are descendants of the Han family and both belong to the Liu family. If you don't believe me, you can use your sword to kill me."
I will stab him to death to avoid feeling uneasy. If you believe in me, please ask Brother Jing Sheng to let me recruit talents and soldiers."
Liu Bei wanted to break through Liu Biao's psychological defense line in one fell swoop, and said righteously: "My goal is to revive the Han Dynasty, help the people, wipe out the disobedience in the world, and return the world to my great Han Dynasty. As long as I, Liu Bei, have a breath, I will definitely work for 'Xing'
Fight for the goal of restoring the Han Dynasty. In this life, I will never give in. How to make a decision depends entirely on Brother Jing Sheng’s choice."
Liu Bei's expression was sincere, revealing unyielding perseverance.
These words are definitely the true words from Liu Bei's heart.
Maybe Liu Bei had the intention of claiming kingship and hegemony, but he definitely wanted to pacify the world, get rid of Wang Can, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and revive the Han Dynasty. These words came from the bottom of his heart and were very convincing.
After Liu Biao finished listening, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Liu Bei's words had a great impact on Liu Biao. When everyone was high-spirited, Liu Biao also wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty when he was young and successful, but he encountered endless resistance and it was not something he could do just by thinking about it.
, the suffering in it can only be understood by being in it.
"well!"
He sighed and reached out to help Liu Bei up.
He nodded and said: "Xuande, I believe in you, and I hope you can complete your goal of reviving the Han Dynasty. However, you also know that the Han Dynasty is in decline, and Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Wang Can have also become the climate and want to destroy it.
It's almost impossible for them."
Liu Bei stood proudly and said loudly: "Brother Jingsheng, Qu Zi once said in the past: 'The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.' Although the road is difficult and dangerous, I can't give up. Once I give up, there is no hope."
Mencius said: "Although tens of millions of people are gone," and although the Han Dynasty has declined and countless people have defected to Cao Cao, Wang Can and Sun Jian, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will not give up my efforts. If it were you, I would give up.
, Who else in the world can revitalize the Han Dynasty?"
After saying this, Liu Bei burst into tears, feeling worried for the Han Dynasty.
After hearing this, Liu Biao felt very sad.
After he calmed down, he felt that Liu Bei was a madman. Wang Can, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were all in trouble. It was simply impossible for Liu Bei to still think about reviving the Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
He patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and comforted him: "Xuande, I understand what you are thinking, and I also understand why you sneaked back to Xiangyang to recruit Zhuge Liang. I am already old and have no enterprising spirit. I can't help much, but you
If you want food, I will give you food. If you want weapons, I will give you weapons and weapons. There are still many talented people in Xiangyang who have not become officials, so go ahead and recruit them. The future of my Liu family and the foundation of the Han Dynasty all depend on you.
"
When Liu Bei heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending so much saliva, he finally convinced Liu Biao. But it also confirmed Zhuge Liang's words. Once Liu Biao was impressed, he would get many benefits. With Liu Biao's support, he could recruit soldiers and increase his strength.
Immediately, Liu Bei raised his hand and said: "Brother Jing Sheng, I have recruited Zhuge Liang and completed the mission of this trip. I will return to the front line to resist the Shu army in the near future. Brother Jing Sheng, do you have any questions?"
"No more, go back!"
Liu Biao felt very uncomfortable and a little disappointed.
Although Liu Bei was nearly forty years old, he was still struggling unremittingly. However, half of his body was buried in the ground and he had lost his enterprising spirit, which made Liu Biao feel like he was in his twilight years.
Liu Bei bowed and turned to leave.
When Liu Bei left the hall intact, he found Cai Mao and Yi Ji still outside.
When Yi Ji saw Liu Bei coming out, joy flashed in his eyes.
Cai Mao's eyes roamed Liu Bei's body unscrupulously, and found that Liu Bei was fine except for his slightly red eyes, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the main hall.
In the palace, Cai Mao raised his hands and said: "My lord, Liu Bei..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's the end of Liu Bei's affairs. You can go back too."
Cai Mao had no chance and was driven out by Liu Biao.
Liu Bei worked hard to revive the Han Dynasty. This is the Liu family's luck. Why would he criticize such a person in the Liu family? It's a pity that Liu Biao didn't know whether Liu Bei's words were true or false, and not all of them were true.
After Liu Bei and Yi Ji left, Liu Bei did not leave Xiangyang immediately, but stayed at Yi Ji's house.
…
Kuai Mansion, in the study.
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang sat opposite each other, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Kuai Yue asked: "Brother, nearly a hundred soldiers were killed, what do you think?" The two of them had already taken soldiers to the scene to check the situation, and also started to have soldiers patrol the surrounding area.
Kuai Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Xiandu, actually I have a guess in my mind."
Kuai Yue asked: "Brother, please tell me."
Kuai Liang said in a deep voice: "When such a big thing happened, I don't think it was Sun Jian and Cao Cao who instigated it, but Wang Can's men who killed the soldiers. Wang Can's men have sneaked into Xiangyang and made some moves. Take this
Regarding the matter concerning Liu Bei, it was most likely promoted by Wang Can’s people who stayed in Xiangyang.”
Kuai Yue said: "So, Wang Can has already reached out to Xiangyang."
Kuai Liang nodded and said: "In another time, the Shu army is attacking Jingzhou. I am afraid that my lord may not be able to defend it. Moreover, the two fierce tigers Sun Jian and Cao Cao are coming, and it is difficult to retreat. Alas, the original suggestion to ask for help from Sun Jian and Cao Cao, although it can
Temporarily alleviating the situation in Chu State is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. The situation is complicated, and we must think of an escape route in advance."
Kuai Yue asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Kuai Liang lowered his voice and spoke to Kuai Yue, and the two kept discussing the Kuai family's retreat.
For Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the Kuai family came first and was more important than Liu Biao, so they discussed the Kuai family's retreat and directly put aside Liu Biao's orders.
