Chapter 012: Entrusting Jingzhou
After Zhuge Liang was taken away by Cai Mao, according to the rules, Liu Bei's attendants were not allowed to enter the state minister's mansion. Therefore, Zhao Yun and his subordinates could only wait outside the mansion. Liu Bei was taken into the house by the counselor of the state pastoral mansion. In fact, Liu Bei's mansion Liu Bei used to be in and out often. Liu Biao is a gentle and elegant person, and he is also very kind to others. So the reputation is good. After Liu Bei Runan's defeat and fled to Hanshui, there was nowhere to go, so he sent Sun Gan to Liu Biao with the attitude of giving it a try and asked if he could take it in. However, to Liubei's great surprise, Liu Biao actually took Jingzhou's officials out of the city for forty miles to greet him, which made Liu Bei greatly moved. So in the beginning of a period of time, the relationship between the two people was very good, and they often talked about the general trend of the world together and evaluated the heroes of the world. I often discuss it late at night and fall asleep. So from the bottom of his heart, Liu Bei is still very grateful to this brother who took him in when he was the most depressed.
But Liu Bei overlooked one thing, Liu Biao is not only a loyal elder who talks elegantly, he is also the prince of the dominant side in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the king who controls the power of millions of soldiers and people in the nine counties of Jingxiang. Because he didn't recognize this clearly, Liu Bei didn't give himself a good position, and really regarded Liu Biao as his friend rather than his father-in-law. At first, Liu Bei's performance was bearable, but after a long time, Liu Biao began to be a little full, after all, he had long been accustomed to the feeling of being on top, and he was no longer used to having friends who were equal to him! The rift was created from this. Slowly, Liu Biao's attitude became more and more cold, how could Liu Bei, who had been in personnel for a long time, not notice such a change? Liu Bei began to realize that it was time to go! If you don't leave, you'll be burned. In order to protect himself, in order to dispel Liu Biao's suspicions, Liu Bei asked to leave Xiangyang and self-exile to Xinye City, which was poor and withered and close to the front line of Cao's army, to take care of Liu Biao's family and nursing home. It took two years to leave, and in the process, except for carefully guarding a small piece of land given by Liu Biao, Liu Bei had almost nothing to do. If he hadn't met Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei would have almost thought that his life would end in obscurity. But God treats him preferentially, when he was the poorest, God sent him Mr. Zhuge , Mr. Zhuge arrived, in Liu Bei's own words, it was really like a fish in water! In just half a year, Liu Bei's army has taken on a new look, and it is no longer the rabble and the dog that lost its family. Became a real elite army.
Originally, I was still skeptical about Mr. Zhuge 's bizarre training methods, but I didn't expect that the two big tents were beaten, which couldn't help but surprise Liu Bei. Damn, Lao Tzu has fought for nothing for half his life, and their mother's original battle can still be fought like this. In the two battles, Cao's army lost its armor and lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Hahaha, Lao Tzu has debuted for so long, and he has not been so relieved during this time. These two battles have played the prestige of my Liu Bei, and the scholars in Jingzhou have also changed their old appearance with their eyes on the top of their heads, and they all came to Lao Liu's house to visit, and sent food and money, and shouted Uncle Liu one by one, this is the life of a person! But what I didn't expect was that Lao Tzu had just passed a few good days, and Liu Biao, the old boy, couldn't see it again! Hum! It's disgusting! Don't you just rely on yourself to have such a territory as Jingzhou? If Lao Tzu had a territory, would it be your turn? Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Bei remembered the great cause that Mr. Zhuge had planned for himself. "Take Jingzhou as home first", Jingzhou, I must get you!
"Uncle Huang, the lord is waiting for you in the hall!" Liu Bei was thinking wildly, and the counselor's words interrupted Liu Bei's train of thought.
"Okay, there's Mr. Law!"
"Don't dare, don't dare! Uncle Huang, please! I retired first! ”
"Good!" Liu Bei strode into the hall. Seeing that Liu Biao was sitting in the main hall, his face was pale, and it seemed that he was indeed not in good health. Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Liu Bei felt a trace of unbearability in his heart.
"Brother Xian is here! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, why is my brother haggard like this?"
"Hey, I'm old, I can't do it! But you still look so tough! ”
"Hey, no! Recently, my body has been getting worse day by day. This leg hurts badly when it rains on a cloudy day! ”
"Hehe, how come these horses have been in their lives, which one is not an injury! Outsiders only saw our brocade clothes and jade food, fresh clothes and angry horses. Where would you have thought that we would throw our heads and spill blood for the court? ”
"My brother has worked hard for the country all his life, and the world admires him very much!"
"Hahaha, when did Xuande learn to flatter people?"
"Where will you flatter people! What Bei said is from the heart! ”
"What do you think of you? Hahaha, good, good, good! I just want to hear from my heart! Xuande! The high position is enviable, but it has also lost the happiness of many ordinary people! I haven't been able to hear what I've been saying for years! Today, Xuande let me hear what is in my heart! I'm happy, happy! Come on, serve wine, serve wine! Liu Biao suddenly became very excited.
"Brother, forget it! Your body ......"
"Hey! Xuande! The eldest husband was born in the world, and there are two things that are indispensable, one is power, and the other is wine! A husband can't be without power for a day, let alone without wine for a day! Hahaha! ”
The attendants in the hall heard the greeting and hurriedly prepared, to say that the person was the governor of the state. The efficiency is high, and after a while, not only the wine, but also the preparation of two tables of medium meals. Liu Bei thought to himself, is he trying to poison me? No way? Liu Biao loves fame, even if he wants to kill me, he has to find a suitable reason for profit? You can't poison me so inexplicably, right? Well, eat! Poisoned also admitted! The cooks in Liu Biao's mansion are probably specially trained, and the craftsmanship is really not covered. It's much better than the bunch of garbage in my house. Lao Tzu quit them when he went back! Liu Bei and Liu Biao staggered and feasted. Liu Bei is eating happily here, and Liu Biao is not so comfortable there. For what? Fuck Liu Xuande, this guy is a fucking foodie. Before Lao Tzu asked, this guy started eating first! Originally, it was carried up to the wine table for the convenience of waiting for the glass to be dropped. I don't want to, hey! Damn foodies!
"Xuande, Xuande!"
"Hey, brother!"
"This wine and food are to my brother's taste?"
"He, he, it's so harmonious! The skills of the cook in my brother's house are really not good! I haven't eaten it in a long time! ”
"Hehehe, it's good if you love to eat, it's good to love to eat!" Eat, eat! Eat well and hit the road! Liu Biao looked at the wine glass in his hand and thought viciously in his heart.
"How long has Brother Xian been in Jingzhou?"
"In the sixth year of Jian'an, the younger brother Runan was defeated, and thanks to his brother's acceptance, it has been 7 years until today!"
"It's been seven years! Time flies! Seven years ago, Yuan Benchu was still alive, and now the Yuan family has disappeared, it's really sad to think about it! I think that I made an appointment with Benchu to rebel together, but now the ordinary old brothers of the year are only me and Xuande! ”
"The world is impermanent, and my brother doesn't need to be too sad!" Liu Bei comforted.
"I've gotten older over the years, and my health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year!"
"Brother, don't think so, my brother is in the prime of life, and he's just tired lately! Just take a break! Millions of soldiers and civilians in the nine counties of Jingxiang still have to rely on their brothers! Take care of your health, brother! ”
"Xuande doesn't need to persuade me, my body is my own knowledge. They all hid it from me, and they didn't dare to tell me, but how could I not know? Hehehe, in a hundred years of life, there will be death. I, Liu Jingsheng, am a young man, a high-ranking official, I have fought for half my life in the troubled times, and I have destroyed countless enemies in more than ten years, and I still sit on the land of Jingxiang Nine Counties for thousands of miles, with 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers, I can be regarded as a prince of one side, and there is nothing to regret! ”
"That's it! Is that! ”
"The only thing I'm worried about is that after a hundred years, who will entrust the Jingxiang foundation that I have worked so hard for half my life?"
"What are you talking about, brother? Since ancient times, the family business has been passed down to descendants, and the two sons of the elder brother are extremely outstanding figures, how can it be said that no one can be trusted? ”
"Ha Lu Ha My eldest son, Liu Qi, is cowardly by nature and can't make a big deal! The youngest son Liu Cong is smart, but unfortunately he is too young, and his mother and uncle are extremely domineering people, where can he achieve great things? That's why I'm worried these days, and I don't know what to do! ”
"Brother, why bother? The boat is naturally straight to the bridge! ”
"Haha Some time ago, the two battles of the virtuous brother fought well! It has played the momentum of my Jingzhou army, and it has also solved the doubts in my heart! ”
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Brother Xian is the person I can entrust!"
"What? Brother, you ......" Liu Bei was shocked, Liu Bei, an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, can't see whether a person is sincere or false? He knows Liu Biao too well, and he will never be stupid to think that the good things that Tao Qiansan made in Xuzhou will fall on him again! Liu Biao is moving with murderous intentions! This is a temptation, Liu Bei has almost felt the vigorous murderous aura behind the screen! No, calm down, I have to be calm! Can't mess up, can't mess up! Suddenly, Liu Bei opened his eyes, his eyes were red, and his face showed indescribable grievances.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Isn't this to trap Liu Bei in an unkind and unjust situation? When Runan was defeated, if my brother hadn't taken me in, I was afraid that I would have been dead a long time ago! My brother is very kind to me Liu Bei, can I Liu Bei do such an ungrateful thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog? Without waiting for Liu Biao to react, Liu Bei knelt on the ground with a "plop" and swore an oath, "I, Liu Bei, made an oath here today, if my brother is one step ahead of me, then Liu Bei will do his best to assist his nephew, if he violates the cause, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the emperor will not bless!" ”
Liu Biao was originally a person who cherished feathers, and killing Liu Bei, who came to him for no reason, would inevitably fall into the notoriety of "killing the virtuous and harming the people", which Liu Biao did not want to see. can be for his son, for the foundation that he has worked hard for half a lifetime, he has no choice but to kill. But now seeing that Liu Bei is so pious, his heart is a little looser. Recall, Liu Bei is really a humble gentleman. Since his debut, he has had a good reputation, and he hasn't done anything tricky. Although he replaced Tao Qian as the pastor of Xuzhou, at that time, Tao Qian was lifeless and begged him to do it, and it was not good for him not to do it. Thinking of this, I looked at Liu Bei, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, extremely aggrieved, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in my heart. Hey, what do you think I'm doing!? Hurriedly got up and helped Liu Bei up.
"Virtuous brother! What do you think you're doing? You and my brother have been around for many years, and I don't know what you are like yet? I honestly think you're the best person to inherit my mantle! Since Brother Xian is unwilling, I won't be reluctant! Look at it, why are you still kneeling, hurry up! ”
"Okay, it's good that my brother understands Liu Bei's heart!"
"Brother Xian is full, right?" Liu Biao pointed to the wine and food in front of him.
"Full of wine and food!"
"Good! Good! Someone's coming! Withdraw it! Liu Biao's words were not only for his subordinates, but also for the knife and axe hands behind the screen. Hearing Liu Biao's hint, the knife and axe hand behind the screen slowly retreated. Liu Bei's keen sense of hearing, which he had cultivated on the battlefield for many years, immediately sensed that the sword and axe hand had retreated. The big stone in my heart has just landed!
"Thank you, brother, for your hospitality! My brother is not in good health, so I won't bother if I am ready! There are still some things in our army, so I will retire first! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Biao thought to himself, I won't kill you anyway, let's go!
