Youzhou, Jixian County.

Liu Bei worriedly took Zhang Fei, Tian Yu and Chen Zhi into the Taishou Mansion, since the winter, Liu Yu suddenly fell ill, famous doctors, precious medicinal stones were used, but did not get better.

For Liu Yu, Liu Bei is treated from the bottom of his heart as an elder and a teacher, when he was most difficult, helpless and confused, Liu Yu took him in, in Liu Yu's place, Liu Bei learned a lot, and Liu Yu also gave him enough trust, first on behalf of the county Taishou, and later completely handed over the military power to Liu Bei, Liu Yu was only in charge of political affairs.

It is precisely because of this unreserved trust that Liu Bei completely fell to Liu Yu between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan treated him well, but after all, he was a little vigilant, when the court appointed him, Liu Bei had a good relationship with Gongsun Zhan, but later the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan became more and more acute, and Liu Bei finally chose to assist Liu Yu wholeheartedly.

At the beginning of the battle of Yijing, Liu Bei actually didn't want to kill Gongsun Zhan, he just wanted to persuade Gongsun Zhan and assist Liu Yu together, but Gongsun Zhan was too unruly and couldn't bear to lose, let alone lose in the hands of Liu Bei.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei really has this meaning, in short, after the death of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei's prestige and status in Youzhou have climbed to the top, and Liu Yu's subordinates are also convinced of Liu Bei, although they didn't say it, but it is obvious that Liu Yu sees Liu Bei as his heir.

"Mr. Guo, the lord's condition is ......" When he met him, he saw Guo Da, a famous doctor in Jixian County, coming over, and Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"The old man has done his best, Xuande Gong came just in time, and the state pastor summoned him!" Guo Da sighed and shook his head.

"There is labor." Liu Bei felt a pain in his heart, nodded silently, and took Zhang Fei and the three into Liu Yu's bedroom, in the room, Liu Yu's son Liu He, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi brothers, and Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and other generals had already arrived, and when they saw Liu Bei come in, they all saluted.

"But Xuande is back?" As if hearing a voice, Liu Yu stretched out his hand and said.

Liu Bei nodded with everyone, took a few steps forward to hold Liu Yu's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I'm here." ”

"I wanted to wait a few more years, but now it seems that the old man has reached the end of his life!" Liu Yu took a breath and smiled.

"The lord wants to talk nonsense, the Han Dynasty has not yet flourished, and the lord is the minister of the humerus of the Han family, how can he say this?" Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his voice became hoarse.

"Zhongxing Han Chamber...... The old man is afraid that he will not be able to wait for that day, and God will give an omen when people are dying. Liu Yu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and turned his head to look at everyone with difficulty: "While today, everyone is here, the old man will ask you to be a witness, Zichu!" ”

"Yes!" A flash of unwillingness flashed in Liu He's eyes, and he handed the box containing Liu Yu's official seal to Liu Bei, bowed down and said, "Brother, please!" ”

Liu Bei's heart beat a few times uncontrollably, and his breathing became a little faster, but he still quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, didn't pick up the box, took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yu and said, "Lord, what does this mean?" ”

"I have expressed to the imperial court that Xuande will inherit my official title, and in the future, this Youzhou, the future of the Han Dynasty, and the majesty of my royal family will depend on Xuande." Liu Yu held Liu Bei's hand and said with difficulty.

"How does this work?" Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down and said: "The prince is still here, Bei'an dares to accept this big position with shame, please take back the master's life, Bei is willing to devote his life to assisting the son, and helping my Han family." ”

Liu He and many people who are interested in Liu He have some resistance to Liu Yu's decision, and this resistance naturally cannot be sent to Liu Yu, so it is transferred to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's attitude at this moment is somewhat comfortable.

"If it is a prosperous era, my mantle should be inherited by Zichu, but now in troubled times, Zichu can govern one side, but his temperament is too weak, and his wrist and courage are not enough to compete with the princes, let alone clear the universe for my Han dynasty and revive my Han dynasty, Xuande Mo wants to resign, this succession is not for his own selfishness, but for my Han family!" Liu Yu sat up with Liu He's support and sighed.

"This ......," a look of hesitation flashed on Liu Bei's face.

Zhang Fei was a little impatient and wanted to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Chen Zhi and Tian Yu, signaling him not to talk too much at this time.

"Please Xuande Gong for me, don't shirk! And I wish to assist Xuande Gong Kuang to help the Han room with the remnants of life! Liu He knelt down and bowed solemnly to Liu Bei.

"Please focus on the overall situation!" Seeing that even Liu He knelt down, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, Qi Zhou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others also knelt on the ground and hugged their fists at Liu Bei.

"Please don't excuse yourself!" Zhang Fei was dragged down by Chen Zhi and Tian Yu, and knelt down in front of Liu Bei.

"Prepare ...... Thanks to the Lord's love! Liu Bei's tears stayed uncontrollably, knelt down beside Liu Yu, cried bitterly, and said in a dumb voice: "Don't worry, as long as you have a breath of air, I will not die!" ”

"Please Xuande Gong to take the seal!" Liu He took a deep breath, handed the seal ribbon to Liu Bei again, and bowed.

"Whoa!" Liu Bei did not refuse again, and solemnly took the seal ribbon with both hands.

"Ministers, see the lord!" Under the leadership of Liu He, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Tian Yu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yufu, and Xian Yuyin knelt on the ground and bowed to Liu Bei, which also represented that everyone recognized Liu Bei's status.

"Wait for you to step back first, the old man still has something to say to Xuande." Liu Yu looked at this scene with relief and smiled.

"I'll retire!" Chen arrived at Hetian Yu and forcibly pulled Zhang Fei, who didn't want to leave, and Liu He and others also left, leaving only Liu Yu and Liu Bei in the room.

"Lord, I ......" Liu Bei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Yu.

"I have already confirmed your position as a clan relative to the clan, you are my son and nephew, and now you are the pastor of Youzhou, just call me an uncle." Liu Yu waved his hand.

"Uncle!" Liu Bei was not polite this time, in terms of seniority, this is the name.

"Although Youzhou is set now, there is Yuan Shao in the south, and the Hu people in the north are becoming more and more arrogant and hateful, if it weren't for the Gongsun Boju's own opinion, and the Taiwei was deployed back then, my Youzhou would not be as passive as at this moment!" Liu Yu sighed.

"This ......" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Liu Yu puzzled: "What do you have to do with the Taiwei?" ”

"Do you remember the horse city that the Captain built back then?" Liu Yu didn't answer, but looked into the distance and muttered.

"Naturally remember!" Liu Bei nodded, when he was appointed as the county guard, he had carefully studied Ye Zhao's governance methods in Macheng, over the years, Liu Bei rebuilt Macheng, and many policies were to follow Ye Zhao's path back then.

"The old man also saw some clues after groping, Taiwei's grand layout in Macheng back then, if it can continue, I don't have to worry about Hu trouble in Youzhou for thirty years!" Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a little appreciation, and he smiled: "First split Xianbei, so that Kebineng, Suli, Micah and the royal court completely broke with the royal court, and then led the Wuhuan people to settle under the Danhan Mountain, forming a three-legged trend north of Macheng, so that the Hu people have been constantly suffering from internal friction over the years, although it has also made the Hu people more courageous, but the vitality of the Hu people is in this continuous conquest, constantly depleted, which is a feat for my Han Dynasty, it is a feat in the millennium, but unfortunately, that Gongsun Boqi was stubborn and used himself, attacked and killed the Wuhuan digging bald department, resulting in the destruction of the three-legged momentumIf we want to maintain mutual checks and balances, our army must send enough men and horses and generals to guard the horse city! ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Yu in a daze, but he didn't expect that in addition to governing Ma Cheng quite loudly, Ye Zhao was still sitting down in silence for such a big event, calculating the time, it was more than ten years ago, how old was Ye Zhao at the beginning?

After a long time, Liu Beicai sighed: "The talent of the Taiwei is too prepared!" ”

"Xuande, don't be presumptuous, no matter how powerful he is, he is also Hanchen!" Liu Yu said with a smile: "And Xuande has been fighting in the south and the north all these years, and he is enough to be called a good general in the world, but it's a pity that Ye Zhao is not right, otherwise, if he assists the Son of Heaven, my Han will not fall to the point where he is today." ”

Liu Bei was silent, he and Ye Zhao were somewhat comparable, but there were some things that could not be accepted, Ye Zhao's brilliant record, even if Liu Bei was no longer as short of breath as he was in the past, but compared to Ye Zhao, it was a few points worse after all.

Thinking that he might face Ye Zhao in the future, Liu Bei was a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Zichu is weak, but he still has the ability, if Xuande sees that he can be used, he will stay, if he can't use it, he can let him go to Chang'an or Xuchang, whether he goes to the Son of Heaven or King Yong, he can always find a home." Liu Yu sighed, the struggle between politics is a deception, he is very worried that after he leaves, Liu He will have some bad thoughts, and Youzhou really can't stand the toss.

"Uncle rest assured, Zichu is also a person of great gifts, and I believe that we will definitely be able to support the Han family together." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"Yuan Shao has now stationed troops in defense, eyeing my Youzhou, this is an external trouble, once the war starts, Xuande remembers, concentrate forces, defeat one first, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and at the same time send people to unite Ye Zhao and Cao Cao to attack it together, Ye Zhao may not send troops, but Cao Cao will definitely send troops to contain, if there is a chance, first take the river as a barrier, Cao Cao and Ye Zhao are not easy to be with their peers, do not be too greedy, if you can break Yuan Shao, then next, you have to be the enemy of Cao Cao, take the river, let Cao Cao annex the state, so that Cao Cao will annex the state, so that You can form an alliance with Ye Zhao to discuss Cao Cao, and at that time, it will be the time to enter Jizhou, Xuande remember! Liu Yu took Liu Bei's hand and sighed: "It's just that in this way, the Central Plains will stand on three legs, and it may not be a good thing to be a big man with me!" ”

"Uncle, rest assured, be prepared to follow your uncle's teachings!" Liu Bei took a deep breath and said.

I didn't see Liu Yu answer for a long time, but when I looked up, I saw that Liu Yu was already leaning against the bed, and his eyes were closed forever.

In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Yu died of illness in Jixian County, which was located in Liu Bei, and since then, Liu Bei led Youzhou Mu and officially became one of the princes in the world
