Liu Bei went to Zhao Yun's residence, but Zhuge Liang did not follow. Liu Bei came to the gate of the courtyard, holding the contract in his hand, but he didn't know whether he should take this step or not, and he didn't know whether he should take another step.

Once he entered, it meant that he would have to give up Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Liu Bei's heart was filled with thousands of hesitations.

At this moment, Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei in the courtyard, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Lord, why are you here, come in quickly." ”

Zhao Yun's face was full of joy and welcomed Liu Bei in.

However, the more Liu Bei saw the happy look on Zhao Yun's face, the more depressed he felt in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He forced a smile and sat down in the courtyard.

Zhao Yun asked, "Lord, how is the negotiation?"

Liu Bei lowered his head slightly, not knowing how to speak. As soon as he saw Liu Bei's expression, Zhao Yun's heart was half cold, and he understood something

After a while, Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Zilong, the negotiation is over. ”

Zhao Yun said: "What is the result?"

Liu Bei handed over the contract in his hand and said, "This is the result"

Zhao Yun took it and looked at it, then looked at Liu Bei, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then fell silent. At this moment, Zhao Yun didn't know what to say.

Blame Liu Bei

As the master of the people, Liu Bei must consider the overall situation and take into account the interests of everyone, and it is impossible to act willfully. Liu Bei had to do this.

Zhao Yun sighed lightly, and could only sigh that his life was not good.

All of this is his bad life.

Otherwise, it would not have come to this point, and he would have been sold by Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Yun's hand and said, "Zilong, at the beginning, Kong Ming came to negotiate with Liu Xiu, on the one hand, to realize the co-lord of Jingzhou, and on the other hand, to redeem you. ”

However, no one expected that Liu Xiu would secretly repair the plank road and quietly take Wuling County and Nan County. Not only that, the 100,000 stone grain that Liu Xiu gave us at the beginning was also the grain that was washed and dried after mold. ”

"Although this kind of food is not fatal if eaten, many soldiers have diarrhea and diarrhea because of it, and they cannot gather their combat strength and cannot go to war at all. ”

"Zilong, you are the general under my command, you should know the situation in Xinye. ”

Liu Bei said: "The soldiers of Xinye need to consume a lot of food every day, and tens of thousands of people have to eat. Without food, the army would not be able to unite at all, and would even mutinied. ”

"Once the mutiny, all the hard work will be in vain, and all the efforts will be in vain. ”

"At this juncture, I don't have a choice, I don't have a choice. ”

"Liu Xiu forced me to come to you because he wanted you to disappoint me. ”

"But Zilong, at this juncture, I'm sure you can understand me. You and I have known each other for several years, like brothers, you know me, you know what I want and want. I don't want to be a personal success, I just want to be able to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Once you give up the soldiers under your command and give up Xinye, it means that it is difficult to have a chance to rejuvenate the Han family. ”

Liu Bei almost choked up and said, "I have no choice, I can only give up on you in pain." Zilong, it's all Liu Bei's uselessness and making you suffer. Zilong, I promise, once I get through this difficulty, I will definitely save you back, and I will definitely redeem you. Zilong, it's Liu Bei's incompetence that has dragged you down, please accept my worship. ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei let go of Zhao Yun's hand, stood up and pushed Jinshan to pour the jade pillar, and directly bent down to salute.

Zhao Yun hurriedly supported Liu Bei, shook his head and said, "Lord, there is no need to be like this. ”

He hugged Liu Bei to the death, preventing Liu Bei from shaking his head.

Liu Bei stubbornly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Zilong, this salute is not that Liu Bei wants to bow his head, it is Liu Bei who bows to Zilong on behalf of the Han, and it is the people of Liu Bei who bow to Zilong on behalf of the Han." Zilong, please bow to me. ”

Zhao Yun sighed lightly and let go of the hand that stood to hold Liu Bei.

He watched Liu Bei bow and salute, his eyes moistened, and his heart was mixed. He knew Liu Bei and knew Liu Bei's ambitions. Even he can understand Liu Bei's approach, but he is Liu Bei's subordinate, and there is always the loss and disappointment of being abandoned in his heart.

After Liu Bei saluted, he said, "Zilong, please." ”

Zhao Yun didn't say anything more, got up and said, "Wait a minute, Lord, Yun will go to Liu Xiu." ”

Liu Bei nodded and sat in the courtyard waiting.

When Zhao Yun left the courtyard, an attendant told Liu Xiu to wait in the hall. Zhao Yun saw Zhuge Liang in the hall, but he didn't say anything, he walked directly in front of Liu Xiu, and arched his hand: "Master Xiu, please use the seal." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and directly stamped the seal on the contract.

"Thank you"

Zhao Yun thanked him, turned around and left.

Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, Zilong For Liu Bei, his departure is just the beginning. In the future, this may happen again, are you ready?"

Zhuge Liang clenched the feather fan, the expression on his face was still calm, and he said slowly: "Master Xiu, this time I missed the food, otherwise this time, you will not be able to reverse the situation." Next time, you're not so lucky. ”

Liu Xiu said: "One step is a loss, and the whole game is lost." When you arrange your plan, don't you have a way back, should you say that you are confident or conceited Kong Ming, don't believe too much in your own ability. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he fell silent.

When he set the plan, he deduced step by step and decided that he would win.

So, no retreat was considered.

I didn't expect the result of one move to be so cruel.

The two of them fell silent again.

After Zhao Yun returned to the courtyard with the contract, he handed it to Liu Bei's hand, and said solemnly: "Lord, when Yun is no longer by your side, please take care of your body, I hope that the lord can break out of the world and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty." ”

's words made Liu Bei burst into tears.

Liu Bei's body trembled slightly, but his heart was still glad that he was still the lord of Zhao Yun.

Although he lost this time, he didn't have a chance to win. As long as Zhao Yun's heart is still in his hands, he will defeat Liu Xiu in the future and bring Zhao Yun back.

As long as Zhao Yun's heart was in his hands, no matter what Liu Xiu did, it would be in vain.

Liu Bei's heart settled down a little, and then said: "Zilong, you are in the enemy camp, remember to protect yourself." Don't worry, I'll take you back, I will, please trust me. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, but there were no extra words.

"Zilong, time is pressing, I'll go first. ”

Liu Bei stood up, turned around and walked out. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, suddenly, Zhao Yun's voice came from behind him.

"Xuande Gong, take care all the way. ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the room.

Liu Bei's body froze, his eyes widened, and the hand holding the contract book clenched suddenly. When he heard Zhao Yun's shout, his heart fell to the bottom.

Xuande Gong

It's no longer the lord, it's the name.

Liu Bei turned around to look, but saw that Zhao Yun had already returned to the room, and closed the door with a bang.

rumble

In Liu Bei's head, there seemed to be an explosion.

Looking at the closed door, Liu Bei's face was disappointed, and even revealed a gloomy look. After a long time, Liu Bei regained his composure, pinched the contract in his hand, and then walked towards the hall. Entering the hall, Liu Bei handed over the contract and said, "Master Xiu, has the contract officially taken effect?"

Liu Xiu said: "It's in effect, so Xuande Gong's title for this official can be changed." ”

Liu Bei's expression was unwavering, and he arched his hand and said: "Liu Jingzhou, I will return to Xinye immediately, and I will issue a statement immediately, hoping that Liu Jingzhou will also keep his promise and deliver grain to Xinye as soon as possible." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Xuande Gong rest assured, the grain will be mobilized today and then sent to Nanyang County." ”

"Thank you"

Liu Bei thanked him and turned to leave.

Zhuge Liang got up and glanced at Liu Xiu, as if to remember Liu Xiu's pride at the moment. Then, he followed behind Liu Bei and quickly left the State Pastoral Mansion.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei Zhuge Liang's departing figure, and said loudly: "Xuande Gong Kong Ming, I hope you can settle down in Xinye, otherwise the conditions next time will be even more harsh." ”

In one sentence, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were stunned.

The two of them paused for a moment, then took another step and continued walking, never looking back
