Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the flow of tens of thousands of troops and ordinary people slowly marched towards Xiangyang.

And in this process, Fang Shao had successfully crossed the river, and because of the name of Zhuge Liang, he successfully obtained a horse, so he rode his horse and galloped forward, and it didn't take long to catch up with Zhuge Liang, who was slow.

"Why did you come, there was nothing wrong on the way." Zhuge Liang asked a little nervously, and it could be seen that at this moment of fleeing, he was also very concerned about the situation of his family.

Fang Shao untied the water bladder and poured a few sips, wiped his mouth and said, "Isn't my husband at ease, the old lady and they all got on the boat smoothly, and this time it is estimated that they have gone far." ”

Zhuge Liang exhaled slightly, and after he was no longer burdened, his expression became calm and calm again.

Fang Shao saw that Xu Shu was not far ahead, so he urged the horse to chase after him, and said, "Mr. Xu, the old lady and the lady have successfully boarded the boat, you don't have to worry." ”

Xu Shu was worried at the moment, just when he saw the crowded appearance of the ferry, he was worried about whether the old mother would get on the boat safely, and when he heard Fang Shao say this, his spirit suddenly perked up: "What, did you see them on the boat with your own eyes?" ”

Fang Shao didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "The wharf was too crowded, the two ladies didn't squeeze up, just happened to bump into me, so I took them to the downstream water village, fortunately, I met that a few boats of General Guan Ping had not left the camp, so I sent them to the warship, and Mr. relaxed." ”

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up, took off the wine bag he brought with him, took a sip, threw it to Fang Shao, and said with a smile: "Boy, thanks to you, come, I salute you." ”

Fang Shao was overwhelmed by the wine, but when he saw that he was happy, he pretended to take a sip, and was quite proud in his heart: "'Xu Shu entered Cao Ying--without saying a word', it seems that there is another sentence after the break that I am going to abolish it." ”

When Liu Bei and everyone came to the city of Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou was still closed in four cities, and the head of the city was full of swords and guns, as if facing a great enemy.

Liu Bei stood under the city and shouted loudly: "I am Liu Bei, Liu Congxian's nephew will come to talk about it." ”

There was no movement in the city, Liu Bei sighed, and then said: "Liu Congxian's nephew, you and my uncle and nephew, it can be regarded as fate, when I first came to Jingzhou seven years ago, you were still a smart and clever child, at that time I had said to Jingsheng, this son will become a great weapon in the future, how come after seven years, you have become so cowardly, such a good family business, just gave it to Cao Thief, do you think you are worthy of Jingsheng's heroic spirit in the sky......

Liu Bei used an emotional tone, tirelessly recalled the past years, and educated Liu Cong at length.

But Liu Cong in the city was so nervous that he didn't even have the courage to go to the city to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Cong's fear is justified, since he decided to surrender to Cao, and Liu Bei scolded Song Zhong and drove him out of Fancheng, it meant that he and his uncle already belonged to a different camp. Now Liu Bei is standing under Xiangyang City with a large number of troops, which is equivalent to an enemy standing at the door of the house, what his intention is still unknown, how can Liu Cong not be afraid.

After playing some old love cards, there was still no reaction in the city, Liu Bei was not dead, and shouted again: "Virtuous nephew, it doesn't matter if you refuse to see me, please open the city gate and take in these Fancheng people behind me, they are innocent, they are all your people, how can you watch them leave their hometown without being indifferent." ”

At this time, although there was a sea of people outside Xiangyang City, the vast majority of people held their breath and quietly listened to Liu Bei's shouting to the city. When they heard what Liu Bei had just said, men, women, old and weak, were all moved to tears.

After Liu Bei shouted again, the city gate was still not open, knowing that Liu Cong was determined to turn back, and then he was completely disappointed in him, turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, a scene of the drama took place, and the city gates, which had been closed for many days, suddenly rumbled, and after a while, there was a sudden click, and it cracked. Then, countless people poured out of the cracked gates, and after tearing the ropes of the drawbridge, they rushed out of the moat with their families and mouths. These people who came out of Xiangyang City knelt down in front of Liu Bei one after another, asking Liu Bei to flee south with them.

This scene happened so suddenly, that even Liu Bei himself was shocked for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then, he hurriedly dismounted, helped the old and young in front of him, with a look of shame, choked up and said: "This time to the south, the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, you fellow villagers entrust your family and surname to Bei's body, how can Bei De be this great responsibility." ”

Jingzhou has received many refugees from other states over the years, many of whom have experienced the atrocities of Cao Ying's massacre, and although seven years have passed, the terrible memories of the past are unforgettable. At this time, when they heard that Liu Cong was going to surrender to Cao, they naturally panicked, so they broke through the city gate and were willing to go with Liu Bei. Of course, this is also related to Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness in Jingzhou over the years and his deep trust from the people.

Whether these people were afraid of Cao Ying, or the crowd was the same, at this time, they were determined to follow Liu Bei, more and more people fled from the city, and the army defending the city could not stop.

Seeing that these people were so persistent, Liu Bei was moved in his heart, so he decided to take them with him, and when he was about to leave Xiangyang, he also made an unexpected decision: that is, to go to Liu Biao's tomb to pay respects before leaving.

Although Zhuge Liang admired Liu Bei for winning so many people's followers, when Liu Bei was about to sacrifice Liu Biao, he couldn't help but whisper: "Lord, time is pressing, forget it." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said silently: "I didn't come to the funeral, go to his tomb to pay respects, and I will do my best." ”

Liu Bei's tone was resolute, and Zhuge Liang couldn't persuade him, so he had to go to Liu Biao's tomb five miles south of the city with thousands of people.

Due to the urgency of time, Liu Biao was only hastily buried ten days ago, and his tomb was only roughly excavated. Liu Bei got off the horse and knelt in front of Liu Biao's tomb, and the soldiers and civilians behind him also knelt down and bowed three times to Liu Biao together.

"Bring the wine!"

Liu Bei took the wine bag handed by his own soldiers, leaned some in front of Liu Biaobei, and said with a wry smile: "Jingsheng, in the past seven years, I have been persuading you to go on the Northern Expedition, but you only think about Shoucheng, and now that you are gone, how could you have thought that you have worked hard to manage the foundation of Jingzhou for 18 years, but it has become a wedding dress for others." ”

Then, he raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and sighed in a low voice: "I know, you and I are not the same way, but you took me in when I was the most depressed, in the past seven years, although there have been suspicions, but it is not thin for me, your kindness, I Liu Bei can not repay it, I can only pay tribute to you again at this parting time, come, drink it." ”

As he spoke, he poured all the bags of wine in front of Liu Biaobei.

Then, without further words, he jumped on his horse, raised his whip and shouted, "Go!" ”。
