Liu Ze was weak and weak, but he understood that he couldn't just lie down, the southern expedition was imminent, he was the soul of the army, and once he fell, where was the soul of this army.

"No, I can't go back to Jingzhou, the big war is coming, how to give up easily! Help me up! ”

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Lord, your body is important, even if this southern expedition fails, when you are well, you can also conquer Jiaozhou again." ”

Liu Ze shook his head lightly and said: "Time is not waiting for me, if I give up the expedition to Jiaozhou this time, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to set foot on the soil of Lingnan again in my life. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Everything is important to the body of the lord, Liang knows that the significance of this southern expedition is extraordinary, Liang is willing to go south on behalf of the lord, please return to Jingzhou to recuperate, sooner or later there will be good news back." ”

Liu Ze looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's bright eyes were the light of perseverance and wisdom, Liu Ze held Zhuge Liang's hand tightly, and said: "The military affairs here are entrusted to Kong Ming, I know that with Kong Ming's ability, I will not lose my hope." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Please rest assured, Liang will do his best to repay the lord's kindness." ”

Liu Ze called Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to come forward again, told them again and again, and told them to obey Zhuge Liang's arrangement, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong promised to retreat. Liu Ze's illness had not yet recovered, and Pan Feng had already prepared a carriage and horse, and led Jinying to escort Liu Ze back to Jingzhou. Huatuo also travels with the car.

Over the years, Liu Ze has been personally involved in all battles, but this southern expedition, because of illness, he had to entrust the command to Zhuge Liang, but Liu Ze did not have the slightest worry. With Zhuge Liang's intelligence, there will be no suspense in this southern expedition. Yes, it's time to let go, the wider the territory, the more generals he leads, Liu Ze is getting stronger and more powerless, with a capable person like Zhuge Liang to complement him, Liu Ze should also relax and do everything himself. No matter how strong the body is, there are times when it can't bear it.

"My lord. Is it back to Wuchang or Changsha? Pan Feng asked outside the car.

Liu Ze was lying weakly in the warm couch of the chariot, thought about it, and said, "Go to Baqiu, the scenery of Dongting Jun Mountain is beautiful." I also want to take a break and recuperate. It's a great place to go. ”

Pan Feng took the order. Diverted to look at Baqiu.

As soon as he arrived in Baqiu, Gan Ning, Wang Wei, Su Fei, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Ma Jun and others all came to see Liu Ze's poor health. Such a cadre couldn't meet him when he waited, but he just passed Gan Ning Ma Jun into the room and said a few words. Gan Ning knew that Liu Ze wanted to go to Dongting Junshan to recuperate, so he immediately arranged a boat and personally escorted Liu Ze to Junshan.

"The lake and the autumn moon are harmonious, the surface of the pond has no wind mirrors and is not polished, the mountains and rivers of Dongting are green from afar, and there is a green snail in the silver plate."

Although he was sick, Liu Ze couldn't bear to linger on the sickbed every day, so Pan Feng set up a rocking chair by the lake, and every afternoon, he came out to breathe, looking at the lake and mountains in Dongting, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and his depressed mood was also slightly alleviated.

Pan Feng said on the side: "The lord is resting, why don't you send the queen and the two princesses to come, so that you can accompany the lord to relieve boredom." ”

Wake up in a word, in the past few years, I have not had time to go back to Xuzhou, I haven't seen Yan'er for a long time, and there are a lot of children, Zheng'er and Ju'er have been flawless since they were born, as a husband and father, they are too incompetent. For many years, Liu Ze has been busy expanding the territory and attacking the city and plundering the land, one battle after another, it seems that there are always endless battles, in terms of family, he owes a lot, although his three wives are very virtuous, sensible and take care of the overall situation, but women will always need to be cared for, and money and wealth can never replace family affection. This point makes Liu Ze feel guilty, it's not that he doesn't want to love his woman, but as a man's husband, his career will always come first.

So Liu Ze immediately passed the book to Xiapi Feige, and asked Cai Yan, Gan Ping, and Mi Lan to take the children and rush to Junshan to meet. After more than a year of construction, Wuchang City has begun to take shape, and it was originally planned that the Jingwang Mansion could be relocated to Wuchang at the beginning of next year. Cai Yan received Liu Ze's summons, immediately discussed with Gan Ping and Mi Lan, and decided to take the children and leave immediately, as for the relocation of the Jingwang Mansion, it was handed over to the stewards.

All the way, especially after knowing that Liu Ze was ill, Cai Yan and the other three daughters were so worried that they couldn't give birth to wings, so they immediately flew to Liu Ze's side to accompany him and take care of him, but they fulfilled their responsibilities as a wife. Coming out of Xiapi, take a car all the way to the west, change ships in Hankou, and go west along the Yangtze River to Baqiu. In this short journey of more than ten days, Cai Yan and a few people didn't think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep at night, and everyone lost a few laps.

finally got to Junshan, hurriedly left the boat and landed on the shore, and saw Liu Ze on the sickbed, before he spoke, tears were like pearls, and Cai Yan's three daughters were already crying.

Liu Ze saw the three beloved wives, but he was in a happy mood, swept away the depression in his illness, and couldn't wait to take the three beautiful women in his arms, kiss Fang Ze, but unfortunately his body was not in charge, Liu Ze didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he had to hold the hands of the three wives and said with a joking smile: "Your husband is not good, it's just that he is slightly ill, but he is also raised to be white and fat, but you are all described as haggard and discolored, it seems that it is my sin." ”

Cai Yan sat on the edge of the couch, took Liu Ze's hand, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "Husband, after all these years of fighting, no one has cared for you, and you have been tired like this, and the concubine is really distressed." Now that he has such a large foundation, he doesn't have to work so hard, beware of his body. ”

Liu Ze smiled and said: "Since Jian'an's five-year expedition, I haven't seen you for almost three years, and this time God is punishing me, and I will definitely take more time to accompany you in the future." Are Zheng'er and Ju'er here too, I haven't seen them yet, my father is too incompetent. ”

Cai Yan burst into tears and laughed, and ordered the maid to hug Liu Zheng and Liu Ju over, a pair of children carved in pink and jade, who were handsome and extraordinary, looked at Liu Ze timidly, and then looked at their mother, but they didn't dare to come forward to recognize each other.

Cai Yan squatted down and said to them: "Didn't you talk about why your father didn't come back, he is your father, don't call your father soon." ”

"Father-" A pair of children threw themselves into Liu Ze's arms, and Liu Ze smiled with satisfaction. (To be continued......)
