Pang Tong sighed, "I was also startled at the beginning, wasn't it a brotherly alliance with Shi Xinyong? How could there be such an arrangement? But I think it is deeper, Shi Xin has just fought a big battle, and the troops of the three states are scattered, if you want to take Qingzhou, now is the best time." Alas, the lord is eloquent and strategic, and he really has a vision. ”

The attack on Qingzhou was extremely implicated, Xu Shu held back his sadness, his head was running rapidly, and he was thinking about the gains and losses.

"Shi Yuan, when did the lord give you this suicide note?

"The lord was very sober at the time, and perhaps because of the return to the light, he wrote this suicide note with our support. You see, at the beginning, the pen was powerful, but after a long time, the words in the back became crooked. "In order to make it realistic, Pang Tong put a lot of hard work into the suicide note, and it was foolproof," wrote the last few words, and the lord began to cough up blood, and finally finished it, so he was willing to lie back on the bed, and it didn't work after a while. ”

"The young master was also present at the time, and somehow, maybe the heavens were moved, and after the young master was frightened by the appearance of the lord, he woke up again and became like this, and he didn't look demented at all. ”

Pang Tong pointed to Liu Chan, who was still sitting on the stool in a daze.

Xu Shu looked at Liu Chan and saw that he had already stood up, his usually cloudy eyes were bright, and even his obese figure had become stronger.

"Young Master ......"

Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Yuan Zhi, you have always been loyal to my father, and I hope you can continue to carry out your father's will. ”

Under Pang Tong's gaze, Liu Chan finally cleaned up his mood and decided to proceed as originally planned.

Xu Shu bowed down, "There is no need for the young master's orders, Yuan Zhi must swear to obey the will of the lord." ”

At the moment, the three of them were in charge of the overall situation, and first sent someone to notify Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the way, so that they could hurry back. Secondly, he notified the nearby princes and the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and at the same time announced the news of his death, he helped Liu Chan apply to become the next state pastor. Third, prepare for all the relevant aftermath, in fact, these things Pang Tong and Liu Chan have already arranged, and they are going quite smoothly.

Mi Zhu Mi Fang brothers, Chen Qi, Chen Deng father and son, Sun Qian, Cao Bao, these old departments of Xuzhou took turns to come in to check, and they were all sad. However, Liu Bei has been ill for a long time, and everyone has been mentally prepared, and after a few words of condolences, they retreated, each busy.

Seeing that Liu Chan was no longer demented, and his greetings to everyone were fluent, neither humble nor silent, everyone was secretly surprised. It turns out that there are really wonders in the world that are realized after great sorrow and joy. But that's okay, although I don't know what the future lord will become, but at least he is not a mentally handicapped child, with their assistance, the haze of Liu Bei's death is believed to pass soon.

I also saw that a big piece of skin had fallen off Liu Chan's cheek, and there was blood oozing on it, which looked very pitiful. Everyone thought that he was too sad and accidentally fell somewhere, but they were moved by his filial piety, and they all comforted him to take care of his body.

The next day, Liu Bei had already changed into a shroud, and his body was placed in the middle of the lobby for people to pay respects. There was an endless stream of people in Xiapi and nearby, and there were many people who cried and fainted, and the scene was gloomy and gloomy, and the wails were everywhere.

Suddenly, two fast horses ran from a distance, more than 100 zhang away from the gate, and they had already flown off their horses, shouting wildly, "Big brother~"

The person on the horse imagined a cloud of green and black shadows, and in an instant, he ran to the top of the mourning hall, shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, and both knelt down. Hearing only two clicks, the floor tiles were instantly cracked by their knees, and instantly shattered into rubble.

Guan Yu has been arrogant all his life, how can he ever try to shed half a tear? But the person in front of him is the most respected eldest brother in his life, a big brother whose head can be broken and blood can be shed, if people are separated today, how can he not mourn? Danfeng's eyes were full of tears, and after a while, they were already rolling down, flowing down his red face to his beautiful hair, and dripping to the ground.

Zhang Fei had a short temper, but he was full of sadness in his heart at the moment, crying at the top of his throat, the already loud sound shook the dust on the beam, and everyone's eardrums hurt, and some of the timid people were even more earthy, and fainted on the spot.

The return of these two people made the mournful atmosphere of the mourning hall suddenly burst to a high point, and everyone could feel their brotherly affection and empathy, and many people shook their heads and felt painful.

Liu Bei's body lay quietly in the coffin, no matter how Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cried, how could they react at all? His face was far whiter than that of the person who had just died, and it could be seen that he had already painted his makeup, and the makeup was even a little thick, which made people a little stunned.

"Big brother, get up, we said that the three brothers will fight the world together, why do you go before us?

Zhang Fei cried so much that Huo Di stood up and stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei.

Pang Tong saw it next to him, his face changed color, and he quickly stopped. Sima Yi inserted three golden needles in Liu Bei's head, although there would be no mistakes with his methods, but Zhang Fei was comparable to ordinary people, and if something happened under the violent shaking, it would be a failure.

In fact, Pang Tong has a ghost in his heart, no matter how impulsive Zhang Fei is, it is also the body of his eldest brother, and it can't be destroyed, right?

"Strategist, why did the eldest brother say that if it is not, it will not be?"

Guan Yu's voice was like a bell, and his nine-foot figure knelt down, almost as tall as Pang Tong. Danfeng's eyes are cold, as if they penetrate people's hearts.

Rao is Pang Tong was scheming, and he almost couldn't withstand Guan Yu's pressure, let go of Zhang Fei, secretly clenched his fists, and cried: "Second master listen." The lord has been ill for a long time, and he has been looking for famous doctors to no avail, and he enjoyed his days yesterday, and unfortunately died, woo hoo lament!"

Zhang Fei roared: "You are talking nonsense, our three brothers said that they would live and die together, how could the eldest brother die first?

This cry came out, but it calmed down a lot. However, it still shocked Pang Tong and Liu Chan's hearts.

"Don't get excited about the two uncles, what Shi Yuan said is true. I was there at the time, and my father did die of a serious illness. ”

Liu Zen was lower than Pang Tong, his head was buzzing, his head was dizzy, and he finally said this sentence, his body staggered, and he looked like he was about to fall.

Guan Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it and handed him to Pang Tong next to him. He kowtowed respectfully to Liu Bei's body three times, cried three times, and then stood up.

He is a husband who can afford to let go, Liu Bei's death is a fait accompli, there is no need to forget it, as long as he assists his heirs throughout his life, he will repay Taoyuan for righteousness.

Zhang Fei regained some consciousness, frowned and asked, "Why is it so hasty to be buried?

Liu Chan still answered: "The two uncles please talk in the back hall." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed, and Pang Tong also wanted to follow, but Liu Chan stopped him.

"Two uncles, this is my father's suicide note, please take a look. ”

Guan Yu took the suicide note, and Liu Chan explained according to Pang Tong's instructions.

Guan Yu put away the suicide note, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Male heir, now there are only three of us uncles and nephews, you answer me honestly, there was really no abnormality when the eldest brother was dying yesterday? What was Pang Tong doing at that time? You tell me one by one, and you must not miss any details." ”

Liu Chan's heart froze, could it be that Shi Yuan had been recognized? He asked rhetorically: "Why did the second uncle say this? Do you suspect that Shi Yuan killed his father?"

Guan Yu sighed and said, "When the eldest brother was alive, he said it more than once. Although Pang Tong has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, he is narrow-minded and has no room for others. has been suppressed by Shi Xin and others three or four times, and he has long had a suspicion in his heart, and he will seize the opportunity to take revenge. I saw that the suicide note was going to attack Shi Xin Qingzhou, so I remembered my eldest brother's words and asked this. ”

Liu Chan wept and said, "The second uncle is too careful. Yesterday, when my father was dying, I was the only one by my side. Later, I was afraid that I would miss something, so I brought Shiyuan here. We helped my father write a suicide note together, and my father was very sober in this process, and Shi Yuan didn't say a word. ”

"......I see," Guan Yu groaned for a while.

Zhang Fei stared at the bronze bell-like eyes, looked at Guan Yu, and then looked at Liu Chan, and suddenly said loudly: "Since the eldest brother wants to fight Shi Xin, we will fight Shi Xin, what is there to consider? Although Shi Xin is a good kid, and Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, and Zhuge Liang are also very interesting, but the eldest brother's last order can only be obeyed." You're right, second brother?"

The sound was so loud that people outside the mourning hall could hear it clearly.

Liu Chan hurriedly motioned to Zhang Fei to suppress his voice, "Third uncle, our attack on Qingzhou must be kept secret, don't make a noise." ”

"What are you afraid of, if you want to fight, you will fight openly, in the final analysis, we were also an alliance before, if we carry out a sneak attack behind our backs, won't it ruin our prestige?"

"This ......"

Liu Chan's head began to hurt again, and he had no choice but to look at Guan Yu and ask him to persuade Zhang Fei.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu also meant, "The third brother is right, we have to fulfill the last wish of the eldest brother, but Shi Xin has a good relationship with us, and if we want to fight, we have to issue documents, and fight in a dignified manner." ”

"Besides, Shi Xin has three states in hand, even if we win for a while, we can't open the true dragon shield of Beihai, it's better to ......"

Liu Chan interrupted Guan Yu and said: "Although Shi Xin has three states in hand, he has just finished a big battle with Cao Cao recently, and he has to be on guard against Sima Yi and Cao Cao at all times, and there are not many troops that can be used. Moreover, Xuzhou and Yuzhou have always been rich, and in fact, there are only two states available in the bitter cold land of Youzhou, and our strength is equal. If there is a real fight, it is still unknown who will kill the deer. As long as we take it step by step, we will be able to greatly consume Shi Xin's troops under successive victories, and then unite Cao Cao and Sima Yi to exert their strength on all sides, I don't believe that he is undefeated. As for Beihai, at most, it will naturally collapse within a year and a half, just like the siege of soldiers at that time. ”

The more Liu Chan spoke, the more excited he became, as if victory was within reach.

"The heir is right, but what excuse do we have to send troops? ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Second Uncle doesn't need to worry, I have already discussed it with Shi Yuan, it is not easy to count Shi Xin's many evil deeds?"

"The eldest brother is newly dead, at least wait until a month later before using the army, you and I have to guard filial piety for him. ”

"This is natural. ”

After Liu Chan left, Zhang Fei asked Guan Yu, "Second brother, do you really want to fight?"

Guan Yu said helplessly: "I want to fight." His eyes drifted into the distance and he muttered, "Shi Xin, I have given you enough time to prepare, we must obey the last wish of the eldest brother, don't blame us." ”
