Liu Qi was also depressed after receiving the letter from Kuai Yue and others in Jiangxia, and now he has no right to speak in Jiangxia, so he hurried back to Xiangyang in the New Year according to the advice of Kuai Yue and others, but was blocked by Cai Mao and others, so he had to return to Jiangxia angrily.

Liu Biao did not drag it to August as Liu Cong imagined.

Just after the Spring Festival, it was the time when everything was renewed in March, but it snowed heavily in Xiangyang City. When Liu Cong received the news that Liu Biao was critically ill in the meeting hall of the general's mansion and hurried back to the mansion, the courtyard was already full of people. There are prepared to take out shrouds in suitcases, some carry kettles, and a few medical officers are hurrying in and out, filling the hospital with the smell of medicine, but at this time, although there are many people, they are all tiptoeing.

Liu Cong led several people in, only to see Liu Biao lying on his back on the bed by the window, with a yellow face, his eyes closed, and his breathing was slight. The medical officer was taking care of it, and someone was holding a bowl of ginseng soup, and he didn't even notice Liu Cong coming in.

"Childe is here" One person heard the movement, turned his face and saw that it was Liu Cong, and hurriedly pushed the medical officer, who saw it, wiped his eyes, and saluted.

Liu Cong nodded and said, "How's the situation?" ”

The medical officer said: "This morning, the general felt very tired and asked me to come and see, but I didn't want to be in a coma before I could do it." ”

Perhaps it was because he heard Liu Cong's words, Liu Biao's face was miraculously bloody, and he opened his eyes, and at this time, the medical officer hurriedly stepped forward, took the bowl and took the spoon, and fed it one bite at a time.

This is the old ginseng soup, used to hang his life, Liu Biao drank a few sips, his spirit seemed a little better, he smiled at Liu Cong, and said: "Wu'er, it seems that this time I can't escape." ”

Liu Cong's heart ached, and he stepped forward and whimpered: "Father, as long as you take care of this disease, you can be fine, don't think about it!" ”

"Hey, I know, it's a flashback." Liu Biao smiled and said, "Maybe I understood it before I died, but I really gave you a problem in the end." ”

Liu Biao paused for a moment and smiled suddenly: "General Pingnan, hehe, General Pingnan, is also the pastor of Jingzhou." It's not easy to sit in this position. ”

Liu Biao was worried that it was not only a group of civil and military forces in Jingzhou, but also Cao Cao who was eyeing Cao Cao in the north, Liu Cong had already told Liu Biao about Cao Cao's training of the navy in Yecheng in the first month of the first month, what other purpose could Cao Cao have for training the navy at this time? Isn't it the land of Jingyang, and now that he is about to return to the west, leaving a stall for Liu Cong, presumably Cao Cao also knows that Jingzhou and Yangzhou are easier than Jingzhou, not to mention that Jingzhou Nanyang County is originally close to Xudu.

Liu Cong listened to tears and said, "Father, don't worry, I will support and watch me get back into the overall situation." Jingzhou will definitely be saved! ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and whispered two more words. Liu Cong told Liu Biao that he had trained a team of 40,000 people in Jiangling over the years, and with the original troops in Jingzhou, there was still hope for holding the city.

After listening to Liu Cong's words, Liu Biao showed a child-like smile, his eyes lit up, and he fell silent again: "Hey, the Liu family can produce such a descendant as you, and I will be blind when I die, but it's a pity, it's a pity that you were born a few years late." Remember that if you encounter difficulties in the future, don't force it, you still have to protect your family and protect yourself. After speaking, Liu Biao's expression darkened again, and at this time, his face gradually changed, becoming gray and white.

While the father and son were talking, some important officials in Jingzhou also arrived when they heard the news, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were also anxious, regardless of whether Liu Cong was General Pingnan or Assistant Jingzhou, Liu Biao did not say that he would pass on the throne to Liu Cong in person after all. This is a big hidden danger for Cai Mao, but there is a hint of opportunity for Kuai Yue.

Seeing everyone coming in, Liu Biao waved his hand to help him up: "De Jue (Cai Maozi), Yidu, a few of you have followed me for many years, Jingzhou can have today's governance, and the two of you have made great contributions." Now I'm going to meet Zirou (Kuailiang Biaozi), and Cong'er and Jingzhou will ask you. I know that some of you may still be complaining about me.

But ask yourself, against Jiangdong Sun Quan and Xishu Liu Zhang, Qi'er may be able to cope with it with your assistance, but what if it is a strong enemy Cao Cao? Now Cao Cao is already training sailors, and he will soon march south to Jingyang. Cong'er's civil and military talent is also obvious to all. Therefore, I hope that after I go, you will do your best to assist Cong'er in managing Jingzhou as you did when you assisted me in pacifying Jingzhou. ”

"General, I'll write it down." Looking back on the eighteen years of working with Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others asked in their hearts, Liu Biao may not be a good monarch, but he is definitely a good big brother, and he did not treat himself badly.

Liu Biao said and beckoned to Liu Cong, signaling Liu Cong to step forward: "Cong'er, after you take over Jingzhou, you must be respectful to all the elders, De Jue and Xenodu are your fathers!" And be kind to your family, be kind to your brothers and sisters! Liu Biao is not worried about Cai Mao, but Kuai Yue is difficult to say, Liu Biao raised Kuai Yue so high is nothing more than trying to trap Kuai Yue and let him die to assist his son Liu Cong. As for treating his family well, the key point is Liu Qi, Liu Cousin's four children, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu have a decent relationship, and Liu Wen is even closer, that is, Liu Cong's son Liu Pan and nephew Zhang Yun, Liu Cong has always been very respectful.

Of course, Liu Cong didn't want Liu Biao to go with worry and regret, so he said loudly: "The child has written it down!" ”

Seeing Liu Cong's agreement, Liu Biao said again: "Don't be too afraid, although Cao Cao is strong, my Jingzhou rivers crisscross me." Besides, you have His Majesty's edict, Cao Cao may not be your opponent...... Kuang Fu Han family, welcome the Son of Heaven, maybe one day with your efforts, this world will become the world of the Liu family again......"

Liu Cong didn't have time to estimate the deep meaning of Liu Biao's words at this moment, but looked at Liu Biao intently. Liu Biao's body twitched suddenly, and then he just moved his lips, and he couldn't hear clearly. At this time, the medical officer rushed forward and pricked him with a needle.

Liu Biao suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wu'er, I'm watching you make a contribution underground......

Speaking of which, as soon as the head is tilted, the breath is gone. A generation of heroes ended their lives like this,

Liu Cong was confused for a while, took a few steps back, and was about to fall, a few people behind him hurriedly hugged him up, helped him sit on the stool, Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, stared at Liu Biao's corpse blankly, and after a while, Liu Cong stood up, looked at Cai Mao and others, as if he had changed people, and said lightly: "Then, just follow the rules......

"Obey" and the people should go down together.

Liu Cong was silent for a moment, his eyes kept crying, but his heart became clearer and clearer, and he said fatally: "The whole house has changed into filial piety clothes, so that the counties are not allowed to rejoice." ”

"Order all officials to come to the mansion to visit the spirit and hold a big funeral." Speaking of this, he remembered that Liu Biao had actually dealt with the aftermath in the past few months, and he didn't need to do anything at this time, just use it.

I was sad in my heart, and said: "My father has been uneasy for a long time, and now that he has passed away, can it not be sad to think about his words?" It's just that the son of man is filial piety and dedication, and he should have had a three-year funeral, but I am the lord of Jingzhou, and the government and army are busy. ”

Speaking of this, he said: "I am new in mourning, I'm afraid there is something missing, even if I order Xiang Lang and Wang Jie to deal with the funeral, and the other generals and ministers will perform their duties and perform their duties, it should be like this." ”

turned around and said to Huang Quan and Liu Pan: "When there is a big change, if there is chaos and rumors, they will all be killed." Speaking of which, there is already a murderous aura.

Because they had been prepared, there was a law on how to deal with it, and everyone bowed down together and said, "No! The messenger immediately set off with the order to the counties, and naturally someone informed Liu Qi.

Liu Biao's funeral didn't have to worry too much about Liu Cong, what he needed to worry about was how to suppress a group of civil and military forces and counties in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao's death meant more time for him to deal with Cao Cao's southern expedition, but the Jingzhou counties were in a state of dissociation except for the southern counties. To put it seriously, at this time, if a slightly ambitious person will ascend to the heights and call for self-reliance, Liu Biao will go, and there will be no one to suppress the counties for him, everything has to rely on himself.

Liu Cong didn't expect that it was the third day after Liu Biao's death, and Bai Xiaoqing also came to Xiangyang from Jiangling. Originally, Liu Cong was afraid that Cai Lin and others would be jealous, so he deliberately kept his distance from Bai Xiaoqing, but this time Bai Xiaoqing came with convincing words, saying that he was here to find a tomb for Liu Biao. Bai Xiaoqing didn't say much to outsiders, but told Liu Cong that she could find the dragon's lair! Although Liu Cong doesn't believe in this, he has seen Bai Xiaoqing's hexagrams, and it is not impossible to find a good burial place for Liu Biao.
