Liu Ze also felt a little cold, after all, he was his own brother, why bother to be so needle-pointed, so he said: "It's rare for my brother to come from a long way, and the younger brother will prepare a family banquet a little, and I will get drunk with my brother today." ”

Although Liu Ze said that he didn't mind, Liu Bei knew that Liu Ze still had complaints about Gongsun Zhan, and what Gongsun Chan did was indeed not authentic, and he yin Liu Ze behind his back, so that Liu Ze had to abandon the plain and go to Xuzhou. Back then, he didn't save him, but now he begged for others in turn, Liu Bei was very embarrassed to think about it, but he had already boasted in front of Gongsun Zhan that Haikou would definitely move to the rescue, looking at Liu Ze's lukewarm attitude, Liu Bei was really difficult to open his mouth again.

Since it was a family banquet, Liu Ze naturally did not invite outsiders, but called his three wives and three children out to meet his brother, Liu Wei was already five years old, and bowed to Liu Bei in style, calling him uncle. As for Liu Qiong and Liu Yao, Fang is a toddler, born with pink carvings and jade, very cute.

Cai Yan, Gan Ping, and Mi Lan worshiped Liu Bei together: "The concubine has seen the uncle. ”

Although Liu Bei is not a womanizer, but at first sight, he was still quite amazing, secretly surprised, and his younger brother had such a glamorous fortune and married three such charming beauties.

Liu Ze doesn't like luxury, the furnishings at home are simple, and the diet is very casual on weekdays, but he just asks for food and clothing, but it is rare for Liu Bei to come today, Liu Ze specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes and treat Liu Bei warmly.

"I wonder how my sister-in-law and two nephews are doing?" After three rounds of drinking, Liu Ze asked. In the early years, Liu Bei had already married a woman surnamed Wu in Youzhou. gave birth to two sons, but Liu Ze has not seen them.

Liu Bei said: "There is the second brother of Lao who is worried, and the family is fine." The eldest son Liu Feng is thirteen years old, he can ride a horse and draw a bow, but he can be regarded as a good seedling for a general, and the second son Liu Chan is ten years old this year, but he also writes well, and he is not very good at reading for his brother, but Zen is a bit like you. ”

Liu Ze glanced at Gan Ping intentionally or unintentionally. Although he knew that this Liu Chan was no longer the other Liu Chan. But his psychological feeling is still weird. However, Gan Ping and Mi Lan were sitting there gently and methodically eating at this time, obviously they did not have the slightest sense of closeness to this "strange" uncle, and they were only here out of politeness, except for a few polite words. And there were no more words.

Liu Ze had endless words with Liu Bei. Since Zhuojun is a parting. Brothers get together less and leave more, and it is difficult to meet a few times over the years and recall the past. I feel a lot of emotion.

Although they recounted their separation, Liu Bei never forgot his mission, not to mention that he always knew that this younger brother was the most affectionate and righteous, so he said in words: "The second brother has been separated since childhood, and he is a brother who only says that you and I are eternally separated, and I don't want to meet unexpectedly in Liaoxi, if it weren't for Gongsun Boqi, how could your brother come to drink wine and talk about the source today, after all, our Liu family owes a love to the Gongsun family." What's more, over the years, Bo Jue has regarded me as a brother and treated me kindly, and he often sighs when he can repay this kindness as a brother. Now Bo Jue is in trouble and dies, and I hope that the second brother can ignore the past suspicions, save Bo Jue in danger, and thank my brother for his brother. ”

Liu Ze smiled helplessly and said: "I really don't hide it from my brother, Xuzhou has experienced a series of military disasters, the soldiers have been killed and wounded, and when Tao Zhijun died of illness, what was handed over to me was just a mess full of holes." After two years of governance, this can be regarded as some improvement, but the number of adjustable soldiers is still less than 100,000. A few days ago, the younger brother just received an edict from the court, Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor in Huainan to plot a rebellion, and the court has sent me to fight and conquer the army. Gongsun Boqi has the grace to save my life, how can I sit idly by, but the court is recruited first, and it is the great righteousness of the country, how dare the younger brother abolish the public for personal reasons. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be speechless, the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor in Huainan had already spread all over the world, and Liu Bei didn't know, all he didn't know was that Liu Ze had received an edict from the court to ask Yuan Shu. "This ...... How can this be? ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, Liu Ze was already red-faced and hot, and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, to be honest, it's not that I don't want to save Gongsun Boju, but I have a weak heart, even if I don't have to ask for Yuan Shu, if I want to cross the land of Qingji and Hebei for thousands of miles, it is not an easy task." Now Xuzhou, self-protection is still difficult, if you really want to compete with Yuan Shao, who crosses Hebei Qingyou and four states, it is difficult! From Xuzhou to Youzhou, a long journey of more than 2,000 miles, how to supply grain and grass? Hundreds of thousands of Yuan soldiers, chasing and intercepting before and after, how can they break through? Soldiers can't be dangerous, this Taoist ideal must be understood by the elder brother, as far as the tens of thousands of troops in Xuzhou go north, if they go north, it is a question whether they can cross the Yellow River, let alone break through Yuan Shao's Jizhou base camp and go north to rescue Yi County. ”

Liu Bei also understands the truth that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, but he has a fateful friendship with Gongsun Zhan, seeing that Gongsun Chan is about to fall, how can he not be in a hurry, he will go to the hospital when he is sick, and he will think of coming to Xuzhou to move the soldiers. Now listening to Liu Ze's rational analysis, I also feel that what Liu Ze said is very reasonable, Liu Ze's army can fight habitually, but he is not a savior, the Yellow River natural danger and hundreds of thousands of Yuan soldiers in front of him, that is an insurmountable natural danger. The flame of hope in his heart was extinguished little by little, and Liu Bei's mood was extremely bad, so he took the wine and drank it all without humming.

Liu Zedao: "Gongsun Zhan's defeat has been decided, I don't know what my brother's plans are?" Since you are here this time, it is better to stay in Xuzhou, you and I are one brother, can't we break into a world? ”

Liu Bei's eyes turned red, and he shook his head and said: "Bo Jue treats me with deep kindness and righteousness, this time I can't move the rescuers, and I can't abandon them, I will swear to live and die together." ”

Liu Zedao: "My brother's words are wrong, my brother has great ambitions, Gongsun Zhanzhi is talented and alienated from non-heroes, and my brother has already cast himself in the pearl, how can he be martyred?" Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, brother has come to Xuzhou, the position of the state pastor should be sat by the elder brother, supplemented by the younger brother, and the big thing can be done! ”

Liu Bei was shocked, he never expected Liu Ze to say such a thing, and he stayed there for a while, half speechless.

Cai Yan, Gan Ping, and Mi Lan were also taken aback when they heard this, put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and looked at Liu Ze together.

Liu Bei coughed lightly, hiding his surprised look, and said indifferently: "Second brother is laughing, my brother is just a small official in the frontier, how can he afford to be the state minister?" ”

Liu Ze drank a lot of wine today, although he was not drunk, but he also felt very hot on his body, and said calmly: "When I was a child in Zhuojun's family, my younger brother has always hoped to one day follow my brother's side and gallop across the field to make contributions. It's a pity that fate makes people, our brothers have never been able to come together, and since my brother has come today, then this position should be my brother's sitting! ”

To tell the truth, when he first came to the Three Kingdoms, Liu Ze's mind was very simple, who was Liu Bei, one of the three giants of the Three Kingdoms, the founding emperor of Shu Han, he was able to climb this big tree and climb the high branches, at that time he never had the idea of replacing it, he wanted to make more money and make some trouble for the eldest brother, but it was a pity that Liu Bei was rich and peaceful, and he had no intention of creating a foundation for himself. Over the years, the two brothers have parted ways, and they have never had the opportunity to work together to create a business together. Liu Ze thought about it and felt that he couldn't stand Liu Bei, if he hadn't come through thousands of years and wore it to Liu Bei's house, he wouldn't have made Liu Bei's life trajectory a mess, Xuzhou should have been Liu Bei's, and the second lady of Gan Mi should have been Liu Bei's, although Gan Mi's second family must not have gone back, but Xuzhou can.

Originally, Liu Ze didn't have the idea of letting Xuzhou, but after seeing Liu Bei, Liu Ze couldn't help but apologize, and he had a desire to compensate him. To tell the truth, Liu Ze, who crossed over from modern society, never dreamed of being an emperor at all, his greatest wish was to end the disputes in the world, so that the people of Li within the four seas could live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from chaos, as for who would be the emperor in the future, he didn't care. At this time, Liu Ze had a whim, since Liu Bei came to Xuzhou at this time, isn't it the arrangement of Providence, deliberately setting things right, and letting Liu Bei still come to be the emperor of Shu Han?

In fact, this is also very good, isn't it my dream to assist Liu Bei in conquering the world by myself? Liu Ze is not the kind of person who is ambitious and has a strong desire for power, in his mind, Liu Bei is a hero, although so many years of wealth and comfort have eroded his determination, but Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm, give Liu Bei a stage, he will definitely have a space for development.

In Liu Bei's eyes, there was a strange look, people's hearts are greedy, such a huge temptation is placed in front of him, Liu Bei is not moved It is fake, but before finding out Liu Ze's true intentions, Liu Bei still rationally restrained his desires, and sneered: "Second brother is drunk." ”

Liu Ze felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, and he stood up and said loudly: "I'm not drunk!" Big brother, this Xuzhou should have been yours, I dove occupy the magpie's nest, and today it is time to return it to you, this qiē originally belonged to my brother! ”

Liu Bei was stunned, Cai Yan stood up calmly, supported Liu Ze, and said to Liu Bei: "Today's brother reunion, it's rare to be so happy, Runde ate a few more glasses of wine, but it made the uncle smile, I will help him go back to rest, and your brother will talk about it another day." ”

"There are Lao brothers and sisters, and they will retire." Liu Bei bowed and retreated. (To be continued......)
