Chapter 501: The Death of the Hero
Liu Bei's life can be described as ups and downs, wonderful, at the beginning he was just alone, and later began to rise at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, recruited Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, got acquainted with Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and others, step by step to develop and grow, the most proud of which was to occupy Xuzhou and Yizhou, but his Xuzhou was merged by Lu Bu due to Xun Yu's strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
After occupying Yizhou, Jiaozhou and most of Jingzhou, he was attacked by Sun Quan because he wanted to annex Liu He's territory, resulting in the loss of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.
Later, he didn't listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, and decided to attach Liu He without authorization, thinking that he could use his strength to fight, but he didn't expect that Liu He was a master of this way, so that he had no power to borrow, which suddenly made Liu Bei's ambition completely wiped out, and there was no sharpness at all, and finally accumulated a serious illness under the anger, which became more and more serious, and in the end there was no cure at all.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, in the summer and April, Liu Bei's condition deteriorated again, and finally died, and Liu Bei, who knew that he was about to die, handed over Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Liao Li and his son Liu Chan to the sickbed and gave them a final explanation.
"Big brother!" Looking at Liu Bei on the occasion of dying, Guan Yu and Zhang Feihu were in tears, this is their brother in life and death, over the years, they are not only monarchs and ministers, but also comrades-in-arms, but also brothers, until now, the oath of Taoyuan righteousness is still in the ears, but their eldest brother is leaving them.
"The great cause is broken before the great cause is broken, which is really the greatest sorrow in this world!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cried out bitterly in their hearts, they really hated that they couldn't replace them.
But is life and death something that can be replaced by itself? Even if they want to be replaced, who can help them make it happen?
Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions, Liu Bei smiled miserably, and then comforted softly: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you don't have to be like this, although I am only forty-three years old, but this life is so wonderful, even if others are poor all their lives, they are not as interesting as my life, but it is a pity that I was too anxious in the later period, and as a result, I was taken advantage of by the children, and most of the foundation created was lost, but despite this, with half of my Yizhou, the country of abundance that everyone in the world envies, I still have 100,000 soldiers to fight under my rule, a million usable people, enough to protect my inheritance. ”
Subsequently, Liu Bei said to his six-year-old son Liu Chan: "Chan'er, originally my father felt that he could lay a big foundation for you, so that you could inherit this inheritance in the future, but it's a pity that my father almost lost this bit of family wealth later, but fortunately, I can still leave a little, this can be regarded as a little explanation to your dead mother, because my father knows that he is going to live an end, and he is going to accompany your mother, and the burden of Yizhou is about to fall on your shoulders, alas, your shoulders are still immature, I really wronged you, you are still young, I don't understand a lot of things, I have to learn more from your second uncle Guan in the future, Uncle Zhang and Mr. Zhuge , if you don't understand internal affairs, you can consult Mr. Zhuge , if you don't understand foreign affairs, go and consult Uncle Guan, the two of them are the strong pillars of our Yizhou, as long as the two of them are there, we can keep Yizhou, you treat them like you treat me, Chan'er, you Guan Second Uncle needless to say, although we are righteous brothers, but closer than brothers, and Zhuge teacher, you also have to treat him as a father, so, You are right in front of me, worship Teacher Zhuge as your father......"
Under Liu Bei's arrangement, Xiao Liu Chan shed tears, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and held the Zi Ceremony, so panicked that Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the salute, and helped Liu Chan up, and said again and again: "The son of the world is like this, and he has been tortured by the lower officials." ”
Liu Bei nodded, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Although this son is smart, but after all, he is young, and Kong Ming still needs to worry about all affairs, since he recognizes you as his father, you must be like me, strictly supervise him, and must not neglect discipline, Kong Ming, your talent is ten times that of Sun Quan, if this son is really not successful, you can replace him, I dare to guarantee that the second brother and the third brother will not dare to object." ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time felt two cold chills coming from behind him, he didn't need to look at it to know that it must be from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's killing intent, these two killing intents are like substance, making him feel cold all over his body, Zhuge Liang knows that as long as he dares to rashly agree, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will definitely tear him to pieces immediately.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed to the ground when he heard this, and said to Liu Bei: "The lower officials must bow to the end, and after death, they will wholeheartedly repay the kindness of the lord, and they will not dare to obey the words of the lord instead!" ”
Liu Bei then said to Liao Li: "Gongyuan is a great talent, you can assist Kong Ming, Kong Ming may usually neglect to discipline Zen Er due to busy government affairs, you must assist Kong Ming and assume the responsibility of disciplining Zen Child, if this son does not listen to the teachings, you can inform Kong Ming and Yun Chang, punish together, and never forgive." ”
Seeing this, Liao Li could only agree with tears, although he was only a fine work sent by Liu He, but seeing Liu Bei so sincere to him, he was also quite moved in his heart, and said to Liu Bei: "Please rest assured, the lord will not hesitate to give up this life, and he will definitely protect the young master without harm!" ”
This sentence is Liao Li's truth, he knows that Liu Bei's regime will definitely collapse in the near future, but he will definitely find a way to save Liu Chan's life in order to repay Liu Bei's sincerity.
Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words and said: "With Gongyuan's words, I am relieved, I believe that with the assistance of loyal ministers like you and you, Chan'er will be able to be preserved in the end." ”
In the end, Liu Bei solemnly instructed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Two virtuous brothers, you are about to leave you as a brother, although we seem to be monarchs and ministers, but we are actually siblings, and we can't bear to leave you for brothers, but how can anyone decide to live, old, sick and die?" I know that the two virtuous brothers still remember the oath of life and death that they made at the beginning, but you can't die like this, because you still have a greater responsibility, to assist Zen'er well, to realize the oath of restoring the Han family, this is the greatest comfort to me, the second brother, you treat the soldiers well and are proud of the scholars, the third brother, you love and respect the gentleman and do not care for the villain, this is a great character defect, you must pay attention to it in the future. ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have a place in this life, but it's a pity that I believe too much in the destiny of heaven later, which leads to blind confidence, hehe, destiny, even though the mandate of heaven is really useful, but it is also in personnel, I really ignore personnel, if I can give me a chance to do it again, I will definitely be able to achieve the Zhongxing ...... of the Han Dynasty"
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei vomited three liters of blood and passed away suddenly!
