Liu Biao smiled when he heard this: "Then you admire the hero in history the most?" ”

"Qin Shi Huang! Liu Bang, and Wei Qinghuo are sick! "Hehe, I have a lot of ambitions. Why worship them? ”

"Relying on the indomitable spirit, we have finally achieved a great cause. So Cong'er was determined to be like them. ”

Liu Biao listened with a slight smile, did not squeak, and said for a while: "When my father was young, he also had great ambitions, so when he received the appointment letter from the imperial court, he immediately came to Jingzhou to take office.

However, from Luoyang to Jingzhou back then, there were jackals blocking the road along the way, and it was not possible to take the main road to Jingzhou openly, and he had to die on the way. However, I couldn't delay the political affairs of Jingzhou because of the danger, so I carried the official seal of Jingzhou's assassination and came to office by sneaking down the trail.

At that time, Jingzhou was in chaos, there were many bandits and robbers, and the cool officials of the prefecture and county colluded with each other, and the people of Li could not make a living, so they fled from their hometowns and wells.

My father came here alone, although he had a letter of appointment from the imperial court, but he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, he didn't have a penny in his pocket, the Jingzhou scholars were virtuous and powerful, and even the people of Limin, who paid attention to his father's empty Jingzhou assassin history? After entering the Yamen, the officials deliberately avoided their fathers, and even the men in the room did not dare to give a bowl of rice to their fathers on credit.

At that time, there were only two ways in front of my father, one was to take the Jingzhou Assassin Historian Yin back to Luoyang and resign; The second is to risk his life to open up the situation in Jingzhou. When Liu Biao said this, he stopped, looked at Liu Cong, paused for a while and said: "The things that follow, as if I have told you before, will not repeat them."

I am telling you about the previous thing to explain that this person is not easy to make a living in the world, and if you want to live a good life, you must first make up your mind -- if you have no ambition, you will live in a drowsy all day long, that is, the wine bag and rice bag, the walking corpse. Your brother Liu Qi is such a piece of material!! Since I was a child, I have been soft and hard to discipline him, but if it doesn't work, it just can't lead him to the right path. Alas, the bones that are born and the flesh that grows can't be changed. I also lost faith in him and didn't bother to care about him. ”

Liu Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't think about it from a distance, but he heard Liu Biao say again: "My father has been in office in Jingzhou for nearly 50 years, and after more than ten years of struggle, he has finally laid a good family business in Jingzhou." Now, Jingzhou is more peaceful with Liu Zhang in the west, and there is no need to worry about the barbarian clan in the south. It's just that Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the east are our old enemies. If there is a little carelessness in the future, I am afraid that Jingzhou will enter the mouth of these two jackals?????? I can't sleep at night because I want to be a father, and I can't sleep and eat. ”

When Liu Cong heard this, a little bitterness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but pause his fist and said, "Dad! With Cong'er here, these two jackals will definitely not be made ferocious! ”

Liu Cong said this, but he lacked confidence in his heart, because he remembered that the history books said that Liu Biao died in the twelfth year of Jian'an (207). In this way, there are still three years to go, and the hero in front of him, who once dominated Jingzhou, will be buried in the loess. And he only has some ambition now, but he doesn't have any strategy to compete with Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

Who knew that Liu Cong's bold words with insufficient confidence actually gave Liu Biao great comfort, Liu Biao frowned when he heard it, and hurriedly turned his face to the side and looked out the window.

When Liu Cong peeked at it, he saw two tears flowing down the folds from Liu Biao's old face. Liu Cong hurriedly came over, took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, leaned on Liu Biao's shoulder, and was about to wipe his tears.

Liu Biao gently took the handkerchief, waved his hand, and motioned for Liu Cong to sit down.

After Liu Cong sat down, he looked at Liu Biao, and couldn't find a suitable comforting word to say for a while, so he asked, "Dad!" We have eight counties in Jingzhou, with a territory of thousands of miles, a population of millions, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and thousands of good generals, which is enough to compete with anyone in the world. Seeing that Cao Cao is gradually gaining power, Sun Quan is growing bigger and bigger, why not weaken it in time? ”

Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "Hehe, Cong'er, in the world, you can't be wishful thinking, you have to judge the situation and do what you can."

In the first year of the first peace, the original Jingzhou Thorn History was killed, and Dong Zhuo went to the court and elected me as the Jingzhou Thorn History. I was forty-eight years old when I took office, and although I was close to the age of confusion, I was still ambitious, determined to govern Jingzhou well, and to fight the court and the people of Jingzhou. Another point, to his ancestors, wives and children. So he left his family and career, left your brother to be raised by your mother in Luoyang, and went to Jingzhou to take office.

After more than 10 years of hard work, Jingzhou has finally achieved initial prosperity, and there is no need to say much about the hardships and hardships in this process, but only one point -- after more than 10 years, I have felt that I am old and sick for my father, and I am unable to do anything.

If God can let me go back to ten years ago, when I had the eight counties of Jingzhou in my hands, hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, it can be said that my father can compete with anyone in the world, so why not be afraid of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, didn't he die at the hands of the last general of our army?

However, not only now, but also a few years later, I feel that the years are not forgiving - needless to say, leading troops to fight, even when I hear bad news outside at home, I can't stand it, my heart beats faster, my head is dizzy, and I can't stand the slightest stimulation.

When Jingzhou was first decided, I knew that I had been tired for many years, I was sick, and I also knew that I couldn't compete on the battlefield, so I thought, those who are unsatisfactory in the world are the best in ten - I originally wanted to manage Jingzhou well, and then lead troops to look around, eliminate traitors, rejuvenate the Han world, and never let the Han family be easy to the hands of traitors. But to be honest, I can no longer lead troops. No way, so be it. It's good to be able to benefit one party as an official, so why bother to be big?

As a result, my father has been managing Jingzhou here for several years, and rarely competes with foreign powers. There's a reason for that. Speaking of this, Liu Biao was angry and coughed again, so Liu Cong hurriedly came over to pat his back and adjust his anger.

When Mrs. Cai saw it, she told the maid to boil a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest porridge. Liu Biao waved his hand and said; "No, it's not comfortable to drink that. It's better to get some honey and drink it. ”

Mrs. Cai hurriedly instructed the maid to get it, and Liu Biao gasped for breath and continued: "Outsiders comment that my father is unambitious and the master of success. Hehe, let them comment and go. Jingzhou's affairs, I can only do this. Speaking of this, Liu Biao turned his face to look at Liu Cong, and said with a wry smile: "Look at the creation of your brothers." Hehe. ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he was arrogant, stood up with a snort, and asked for instructions with a sword in his hand: "Please ask my father to transfer the division of the first brigade to the command of Cong'er, Cong'er must first cross the Han River to capture Cao Ren, take Fancheng, and then go straight to Nanyang, and within a few days, he will recapture the lost Jingzhou hometown from Cao Bing." ”

Liu Biao glanced at him a few times and said with a smile: "The things on the battlefield are not done by relying on righteousness, you still need to hone your training." Remember, after the marriage is done wholeheartedly, after that, you must learn more from people who have the ability to interact - only when you have both wisdom and courage can you plan big things, but you can't learn from your brother. Remember? ”004
