Jian Yong was secretly happy in his heart, he had been waiting for more than two years, wasn't he just waiting for this day? He finally couldn't hold back and said, "Mr. Gong wait, Jian will go and tell Xuande Gong and ask him to go to the State Pastoral Mansion immediately." ”

But Guan Yu said loudly: "Mr. Jian, slow down, my eldest brother said that he would burn incense and pray for Tao Yuanjun for an hour, how could he easily interrupt!" ”

Guan Yu is arrogant by nature, he only recognizes Liu Bei alone, and being able to call Tao Qian "the king" is already respectful, and he will never call Tao Qian "lord" like Liu Bei and Jian Yong.

After Tao Qian suddenly fell ill, the civil and military officials of Xuzhou rushed to visit, but Liu Bei never showed up. Sun Gan, Chen Deng and others all complained about this matter, and felt that although Liu Bei had the name of benevolence, but with a small county lieutenant, he could have today's status, not all because of Tao Qian's care, and now Tao Qian is seriously ill, but he does not come to visit.

Sun Qian now knew that Liu Bei did not rush to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion immediately, it turned out to be to burn incense for Tao Qian, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and he had already thrown the unhappiness just now out of the clouds. Because Sun Qian could see clearly from outside the door, Liu Bei had been kneeling in front of the incense case. People in this era will not kneel often, even if they knock on the emperor, they will only fall to the ground for a long time, and kneeling will only be used when sacrificing ancestors and committing major crimes, and Liu Bei is willing to kneel for a whole hour in order to pray that Tao Qian will get better as soon as possible, and how can Sun Qian not be moved.

Although Liu Bei knelt there, he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart, how could he not know about Sun Qian's arrival? He was just pretending, as if he was so devoted to his prayers. However, Guan Yu said so loudly that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to turn his head and pretend to lose his voice: "Mr. Gong, what did you say?" ”

Sun Gan's voice was already a little trembling, and he said, "Duke Xuande, Lord He, he's dying." ”

Liu Bei's body shook visibly, and he fell backwards. He was already kneeling on the ground, and this fall was not a big deal, Rao was like this, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian were still shocked, and they stepped forward together, pinching people and rubbing their chests.

After a long time, I saw Liu Bei wake up quietly, sighed, and said: "It was Liu who harmed the lord, and Liu is guilty!" ”

Sun Qian was shocked and asked, "Why did Xuande Gong say this?" ”

Liu Bei was already in tears, and choked up: "At the beginning, Liu Xin suddenly sent a young man to treat the lord, and said that it was a little miracle doctor, and Liu was puzzled. Thinking that Liu Xin has always been treacherous and has nothing to do with the lord, how could he have such a good heart and send people all the way to treat the lord? At that time, Liu also had the heart to remind him that he always had a little hope, so he endured it and didn't say it, who knew that there would be a big disaster today. ”

Sun Qian asked puzzledly: "But that little divine doctor is indeed a good doctor, and the lord's illness is already improving, according to the doctor who just came over, the lord's recurrence this time is caused by his anger and heart, why did Xuande Gong say this?" ”

Liu Bei wiped a handful of tears, calmed down, and said: "Think about it, the Jingzhou army and the so-called miracle doctor have been in Xuzhou for more than two years, why did they leave in a hurry recently?" ”

Without waiting for Sun Gan to answer, Liu Bei continued: "Because they already knew that the lord's condition would deteriorate in the near future, they left suddenly!" A few days ago, the lord's condition improved, but they used some great tonic drugs, which caused the illusion, but in fact, it drained the lord's body. ”

Sun Qian couldn't help but hesitate, Liu Bei's statement was not impossible, he had also seen the prescription that Zhang Qing prescribed to Tao Qian, which did use ginseng and other tonic medicines.

Liu Bei sighed again and said: "Liu Mou thought carefully about what Zhang Liao has done in the past two years, it is nothing more than buying people's hearts and dividing Xuzhou, even gentlemen like Mi Zizhong have fallen for Liu Xin, and he was deceived to Jingzhou, all because Liu Mou couldn't remind the lord as soon as possible, Liu Mou is sad!" ”

Sun Gan also blushed a little when he said this, although he was also a gentleman, he was not able to resist the temptation of those gifts sent by Zhang Liao. Although Zhang Liao didn't send any gold and silver to deny, but those exquisite books printed on Xiang paper were not something that a talented person like him could resist, and he would inevitably say a few more good words about Jingzhou in front of Tao Qian, doesn't that mean that even he, a gentleman, has been bought by Liu Xin? It is not surprising that Mi Zhu moved his family westward.

Liu Bei stood up, patted his legs, which were kneeling a little numb, made a gesture to Sun Gan, and said, "Gong, it's important to visit the lord, let's talk while walking on the road." ”

Why did Tao Qian, whose physical condition had already improved greatly, suddenly fall seriously ill? Naturally, as the doctor diagnosed, he was angry and angry, which Liu Bei knew well, but he couldn't admit it anyway.

The reason why Tao Qian was so angry was precisely because Cao Cao came to attack on a large scale. Why did Cao Cao come on a large scale, of course, because Cao Song's entire family died in Xuzhou. As for how Cao Song's family died, there is no clearer one than Liu Bei.

Because of this, Liu Bei not only couldn't admit that Tao Qian's re-illness was due to anger, but also had to find a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, just because he suggested borrowing the Tao to Cao Song and eventually caused disaster, the civil and military officials of Xuzhou would not have agreed to Tao Qian giving him the position of state minister.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei came up, he instilled in Sun Qian the idea that Liu Xin sent someone to see Tao Qian, which was basically "a weasel greeting the chicken for the New Year, and he didn't have a good heart". This is not the end, he continued to pour dirty water on Liu Xin, and directly pointed out that the culprit who killed Cao Song's family was Liu Xin.

Liu Bei's reasons are very good. Because Cao Cao once attacked Xiangyang, Liu Xin and Cao Cao were on the same page, and he had a motive to kill Cao Cao's father. Moreover, once Cao Song was killed in Xuzhou, he could blame Tao Qian, and when Tao Qian and Cao Cao were inseparable, he could just take advantage of the fisherman.

Moreover, Liu Xin has let Zhang Liao operate in Xuzhou for so long, he must have many eyeliners in Xuzhou, and even in the army, it is inevitable that he will have his eyes and ears, he has the conditions to detect the movements of Cao Song's family, and he can find an opportunity to start, and even the team of people sent out by Tao Qian to protect has been bought by him, otherwise how can he not see anyone alive and dead?

After leaving the mansion, Liu Bei took Sun Qian in a car, and told Sun Gan the ideas he had "speculated" as they were.

Although Liu Bei came from a humble background, he has always been known for his benevolence, and in Sun Gan's opinion, he can be regarded as a righteous gentleman. On the contrary, because Liu Xin had a relationship with Zhang Rang in his early years, and he took away Wei Zhongdao's fiancée, although his reputation among Shilin is not a bad one, it is not much better. Therefore, Sun Qian believes in these contents of Liu Bei's "analysis".

In fact, from the time Liu Bei decided to make a move on Cao Song, he had already thought about taking Liu Xin as the object of blame, and it was best to provoke Liu Xin and Cao Cao to fight. The reason why he has not said his "suspicions" is only because everything is not ready, after all, what he said is only hypothetical, and there is not enough evidence to prove that these things were Liu Xin's doing, so his original plan was to wait for the evidence to be "collected" before telling Tao Qian. However, Liu Bei never thought of telling Cao Cao these "suspicions", because Cao Cao is not Tao Qian, Cao Cao is too shrewd, not so easy to fool, and if he doesn't do it, it will be self-defeating.

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stopped talking, but sat in the car and wept silently. Liu Bei knew that Sun Qian was also a smart person, and he didn't need to say too much, saying too much would be counterproductive.

And Sun Qian didn't say anything more, because what Liu Bei said shocked him too much, but thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense, according to Liu Bei's train of thought, nine times out of ten, these things should be done by Liu Xin.

When the two of them came to the state pastor's mansion, they found that Tao Qian had already sat up from the couch, his face had recovered a little red, and his spirit was much better. As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Tao Qian sighed, and said repeatedly: "Xuande, Tao thought he would never see you again, but fortunately, there was a prescription left by the little divine doctor, and after taking a dose of medicine, he felt much better." ”

Two years ago, Tao Qian's body was weak, and Zhang Qing naturally added some tonic medicine to the prescription he prescribed, and later as his body improved day by day, the drugs used also changed. As long as Tao Qian follows Zhang Qing's instructions and continues to take medicine and practice Wufowl Opera on time, he dare not say that it will not be a problem to live another five or six years. After all, he is old, his physical foundation is not very good, and he is seriously ill, so it is not easy to extend his life span for five or six years.

Of course, now that this is happening, Tao Qian is so anxious, it's hard to say whether he can survive it. Today, it was the local imperial doctor in Xuzhou who came to see him, and his medical skills were naturally not as good as Zhang Qing's, and this imperial doctor himself understood, so he didn't dare to use the medicine indiscriminately, but just copied the prescription that Zhang Qing prescribed to Tao Qian in his early years, which actually made Tao Qian's body recover a lot. In fact, this is all due to the fact that the tonic in the prescription has worked, but it is only a symptom but not a cure, and if you take too much, it is very likely that you will drink to quench your thirst.

Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard this, he clearly remembered that after Zhang Qing also gave Tao Qian one or two doses of medicine, Tao Qian's body improved greatly, could it be that Zhang Qing's medicine really had a miraculous effect? He didn't dare to say that Liu Xin had another plan to send Zhang Qing here, and he didn't dare to persuade Tao Qian to stop the medicine.

The matter was in a hurry, and Liu Bei couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he had to congratulate him: "The lord is auspicious, and it is a blessing for the people of the city to recover as soon as possible." ”

Sun Qian also comforted on the side: "It must be that Xuande has been burning incense and praying for the lord, moving the heavens, it seems that the disaster in Xuzhou will disappear in a few days." ”

"I see, then Tao has to thank Xuande." Tao Qian also noticed the tears on Liu Bei's face, suddenly sighed, and said, "Tao Mou is old, he can't withstand any strong winds, for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, please ask Xuande Gong to temporarily take the position of state pastor." ”
