In the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei escaped from Xuchang, and the remaining people were only Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info or occasionally feel the elegance of the year, Liu Bei is sad from it, just escaped from Xuchang, he wanted to cut himself under the willows, but was stopped by everyone.

"If the lord wants to achieve great things, how can he not have many setbacks? Now that the three generals are dead, how can the lord give his life in vain because of his own selfishness? ”

In the face of Mi Zhu's admonition, Liu Bei looked at the only three people left, thinking that he had no strategists and no brave generals, how could he compete with Cao Cao for hegemony? It's better to die!

"Zizhong's heart, how can I not know? Yun Chang, Yide, and Zilong are friends with me, not brothers and brothers; If three of them died, how could I survive? ”

Sun Qian hurriedly said: "Don't say frustrating words, Gaozu has been defeated by Xiang Yu repeatedly, won't he also achieve great things for thousands of years?" Now that the Cao thief is powerful, we can't just run into it, so it's better to go south for the time being, seek a place of safety, and then make a decision! ”

"What Gongyou said is very true, and now Liu Biao sits on the nine counties of Jingxiang, and he is a distant relative of the lord; When I heard that the lord was coming to vote, I would welcome it. Jian Yong said, "Now that I have arrived at the boundary of Nanyang, which is not far from Xiangyang, I might as well wait to take refuge in Liu Biao for the time being, and then make a decision!" ”

As soon as the audience said this, Liu Bei ignited a glimmer of hope again, and followed everyone all the way to Jingzhou.

However, it is said that Liu Biao in Jingzhou has expanded greatly since Sun Jian was broken, and his influence has extended to Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and other places; At the same time, the development of commerce and trade, agriculture, abundant water and soil, national security and folk music, people from all over the world have come to defect.

The Yizhou riots were rampant, the Jiangdong expeditions continued, and the Central Plains lived and died; Hebei, Liangzhou and other places are flooded with Hu people, only Jingzhou has become a paradise in this troubled world.

Later generations said that Liu Biao was weak and incompetent, and it was difficult to become a big weapon, but if Liu Biao was really such an idiot, how could he make a state into a picture of national peace and security? He must have his own ambitions, and he even understands that if he wants to conquer the world, the logistics must keep up, and the talents must also keep up!

There is no shortage of talents in Jingzhou, there are many scholars, and most of them obey Liu Biao's management, I have to say that this is Liu Biao's ability. Maybe if it were Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, there would be no way to govern Jingzhou like this.

But now Liu Biao is nearly sixty years old, and his majesty is not as good as it was back then, so he can only spend the rest of his life in Jingzhou, and the rest of the things will be handed over to future generations to deal with......

Suddenly, on this day, Liu Biao received news that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were facing off in Guandu, and Cao Cao's rear was empty; This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Liu Biao can take the opportunity to enter Beijing, welcome the Han Emperor, and show the prestige of the Han family!

But most of the people who put forward this suggestion were young generals such as Wen Ping, and Liu Biao had long lost his ambitions, and even put pressure on the Cai family and the Kuai family, so the matter was shelved.

As we all know, the scholars will never do anything against their own interests, and attacking Xuchang is extremely risky, and maybe they will tear their faces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who have always been neutral, which is too cost-effective.

A few days later, another news came: "Xuchang Liu Bei rebelled, escaped from the city, and has now arrived at the border of Jingzhou, wanting to come to the lord, and the messenger is outside the city gate!" ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his face was not wavering, but he said lightly: "Liu Bei and I are the same sect, and they are famous all over the world; Now with Eli Lilly, we can't afford to slack off. ”

After that, Liu Biao wanted to arrange the matter of dependence, but he never thought that Cai Mao under his command suddenly said: "Lord, Liu Xuande is an unknown person!" took refuge in Gongsun Chan before, but now he has died in battle; Later, he aided Tao Qian, who died of illness. then attached to Xun Gang and gained a foothold in Xuzhou, but Xun Gang is now also surrendering to Cao Cao, and he has no ambitions! Now that the lord is sheltering Liu Bei, he is taking in a jackal! ”

Kuai Yue said: "Liu Bei is a wolf, Cao Cao is kind to him, he doesn't reciprocate, but takes the opportunity to rebel!" What is the use of such unfaithful and unrighteous people? It is better to seize it and return it to Cao Cao to show repair. ”

Seeing that these two people were in opposition to themselves again, Liu Biao was a little annoyed, and said impatiently: "Liu Bei is downcast to vote, it is really rude to deduct it, who dares to come to take refuge in the world, this matter will not be mentioned again!" ”

Seeing that Liu Biao had the meaning that everything had been decided, Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers did not dare to stop it, after all, they assisted Liu Biao, but the real power has always been in the hands of the latter, and he can only subtly change Liu Biao's choice.

"But Liu Bei is dangerous, you can't guard against it, the lord needs to prepare early!" Kuai Liang said suddenly.

"Oh? What is Zirou's opinion? ”

"Liu Bei came from Xuchang, and after a long journey, he must be tired. The lord set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei, and did the friendship of the landlord, which is also one. After that, the lord can order him to be stationed in Xinye, guard the main road for us, and beware of Cao Cao's surprise attack, this is the second also! ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed: "It's so good, not only to prevent Liu Bei, but also to prevent Cao Cao, and not lose our face, it's really killing three birds with one stone!" ”

Who knew that Cai Mao was organized again: "The lord can't!" Nanyang is now in the hands of Cao Cao, and letting Liu Bei garrison Xinye will inevitably allow him to recruit troops and expand his power! It's better to arrange Liu Bei to Cangwu, just say to guard against Shixie, even if Liu Bei is angry, he doesn't dare to express it! ”

Cangwu is the extreme south of Jingzhou, almost close to the South China Sea, at that time it could be regarded as a remote area, poor and remote, and the people were poor. Placing Liu Bei here can almost be said to restrict all his development.

After all, Xinye is the land of the Central Plains, not far from Xiangyang, with unique advantages, and it is not difficult to develop; Cangwu is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and it is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou and Yizhou, which is insurmountable. It's good to be the emperor of the soil, but compared with Shixie, who has established power in Jiaozhou for many years, it is simply vulnerable.

Hearing this, Liu Biao was a little hesitant, after all, letting Liu Bei go to be the Taishou of Cangwu would inevitably have a suspicion of driving people away...... It would be nice if he could ask him to go to Cangwu on his own.

"No matter, I'll wait to greet Liu Bei's envoy first, and then make a decision!"

Liu Biao immediately summoned Sun Qian to the palace and greeted him with warmth, like a family; When Sun Qian saw that Liu Biao intended to take Liu Bei in, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to send a letter to Liu Bei and ask him to come quickly.

"Xuande is my brother, I should go out of the city to greet me!"

Sun Ganlian didn't dare, but Liu Biao didn't listen at all, and hurriedly prepared an honor guard, and brought a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city thirty miles to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei got Sun Qian's letter and rushed to Xiangyang overnight, but when he saw thousands of flags not far away, Liu Biao actually led the army to greet him, and Liu Bei was moved. The two greeted each other as if they were a family of relatives, but they didn't know what each other was thinking.

Liu Biao set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei, and seeing that Liu Bei had no soldiers, he hurriedly allocated 500 personal guards, 300 pieces of grain, and 50 pieces of cloth to Liu Bei.

These small favors naturally couldn't impress Liu Bei, but Liu Bei still smiled, and immediately proposed to Liu Biao that he was willing to guard the north for Liu Bei to block Cao Cao's request, but Liu Biao politely refused.

"Brother Xian first came to Jingzhou, communicate with me for a few more days; As for where to place the virtuous brothers, we will have to wait for our deliberations...... Tonight's feast, don't talk about political affairs, just drink, drink! ”

Looking at Liu Biao's smiling face, Liu Bei's heart sank, it seems that it is not easy to want a piece of land to develop......
