It is said that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Cangting, and was about to lead the victorious army to march into Jizhou, and suddenly heard that Xun Yu came from Xu Du, saying that Liu Bei had tens of thousands of people from Liu Pi and Gong in Runan, and took advantage of the Prime Minister's army to march to Hebei, so he ordered Liu Pi to defend Runan, and personally led the army to attack Xudu, and was shocked, so he ordered Cao Hong to bluff, stay behind to defend against Yuan Shao's attack, and personally lead the army to Runan to conquer Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei was a brave general such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, it was difficult to compete with Cao Cao in terms of military strength and strategic command.

Liu Bei's soldiers went to Suishan and met Cao Cao's attack, although he won a while, but Cao Cao secretly sent Xiahoudun to attack Runan.

Gong Du was defeated and killed, Xue Lei and his wife knew that Runan would be difficult to defend, so they sneaked out of the city with their own clansmen, and still went back to the mountains to hide.

Liu Pi desperately broke through the siege, and escorted his family members with Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang to find Liu Bei, and was discussing retreat, but Zhang He came head-on.

Liu Bei wanted to retreat, but he met Gao Ran and came out of the mountain pass.

Liu Bi desperately rushed forward to rescue Liu Bei, but was slashed by Gao Ran under the horse.

In a critical situation, Zhao Yun came out from behind, and Guan Yu, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang also arrived and killed Zhang He.

Zhang Fei led Fan Qiang and Zhang Da to kill Xiahou Yuan, and met Le Jin to meet him.

Zhao Yun rushed over, defeated Le Jin, and met Liu Bei with Zhang Fei.

Cao Cao's army arrived, Liu Bei taught Sun Qian and others to protect their families first, and since Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were behind, they fought and left, and then they had to get out.

Liu Bei led the defeated army to less than 1,000, and fled to the Han River in embarrassment, seeing that Cao Cao did not chase him, he camped on the beach for a while, his heart was sad, and his face was full of tears: "All the monarchs are brave, and they all have the talent of Wang Zuo." Thinking of me Liu Bei, I have the name of the emperor's uncle, and I have the ambition of being loyal to the king, but I have no ability to support the Han family, and I lack the power to fight the thief and stabilize the country, and when I am over forty years old, I still have no place to stand. Involving all the monarchs to follow me to fight in the south and the north, fighting in the east and west, suffering a lot of hardships, delaying the future, I am afraid that there will be a mistake for you. Why don't you abandon me, go to the Ming Lord, and gain fame? ”

When they heard this, they all hid their faces and wept.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Why did my brother say this? Since following his brother's long march to fight for the Yellow Turban, he has repeatedly fought on the battlefield, how can he ever give up? I want to be free and happy in Mangdang Mountain, and I have never forgotten my brother. ”

Guan Yu said: "Brother's words are bad! Since Taoyuan has formed a righteous brother, how can he have abandoned each other? In order to protect his sister-in-law, he was trapped in Cao Ying, although he had a bounty and a marquis, he never forgot his righteousness. Hearing the truth, the seal seals the gold, and looking for the brother for thousands of miles. The present brother was frustrated for a while, but he wanted to abandon his brother and abandon his righteousness, which made his brother feel cold. ”

With that, he wept on his back.

Liu Bei stepped forward to hug Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun stepped forward to persuade: "Zilong sees the envoy, that is, he has admiration, obeys the teacher's orders, and obeys the king's orders." As the saying goes, 'victory or defeat is the norm of a soldier'. In the past, Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for the world, and were repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu. How can the envoy fall into his own ambition because of a small setback? ”

Sun Qian said: "There are times of success or failure, and you must not lose heart. This is not far from Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng sits in the six counties of Jingzhou, the soldiers are strong and the food is sufficient, and he and the lord are all relatives of the Han family, so it is better to go to the defection and make another picture. ”

Liu Bei said: "Speaking of the same sect, it is chilling. Last time, Gongyou went to see Liu Pi and said that the Liu family was the same ancestry, and it was not true. I think Liu Jingsheng will not be compatible because of the same sect. ”

Sun Qian said: "Liu Biao is different from Liu Pi. Liu Biao is the Han Lu Gong King Liu Yu, after the emperor's title for generations, and has the same surname and clan as the lord; Although Liu Pi's surname is Liu, he was originally an ordinary person, and like other people with surnames, he hated the royal family's oppression and exploitation, and did not take his surname as a matter of course, as long as he opposed the imperial court, he would do everything. ”

Zhang Fei said: "What Gongyou said is true. My brothers in Mangdang Mountain, no matter what their surname, as long as they say that they have rebelled, they are all enthusiastic, and everyone is vying to be the first. Although Liu Pi is the leader of the thieves, he disagrees with the same sect, but when it comes to attacking Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he is not ambiguous. He saw that his brother was trapped by Cao Jun and sacrificed his life to save him. In his opinion, it is not the same sect that saves but the same way. ”

Guan Yu said: "I don't want the third brother to fall into the grass in Mangdang Mountain for a long time, but he has such knowledge. I am married to my elder brother and third brother, although they do not have the same surname, but they are of the same heart. After the elder brother and that Liu Biao were both crowned princes by Gaozu, not to mention that the elder brother was regarded as the emperor's uncle by the current emperor, and the interests were the same, how could it not be tolerated? ”

Zhao Yun also said: "Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, and he is also the emperor today. It is often said that 'the monk is not close, but the hat is pro'. Now it is a foreign domain, and I hope to contact the imperial court through the emperor's uncle, and end up with a righteous prince. ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: Liu's world has been spurned by the world, and the Han Dynasty regime has been controlled by Cao Cao, leaving only a shell that exists in name only. Although he is the emperor's uncle, he has no place to stand, and has become a lost dog drifting around. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, but I had no choice but to endure the sourness and turn my sorrow into joy, so I ordered Sun Qian and Mi Zhu to go to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao.

However, it was said that Liu Biao was the pastor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, led the three counties of Lingling and Guiyang to rebel, and Liu Biao sent troops to besiege it, which continued for many years.

After Zhang Xian died of illness, the people of Changsha set up Zhang Xian's son as the master, so Liu Biao captured Zhang Xian's son, opened up the land, collected Lingling and Guiyang in the south, and Hanchuan in the north, sitting on a territory of thousands of miles, with more than 100,000 armored soldiers.

In the meantime, Liu Biao was able to lure and negotiate with each other, so that the thieves in the territory could also be effective for it, and Jingzhou was cleared from then on, and the people were satisfied.

On the other hand, there were more than 1,000 scholars from Guanxi, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou who came to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was able to appease and support them, and the scholars were funded and protected.

Because the group of Kou in Jingzhou had been purged, Liu Biao opened a scholar, sought Confucian scholars, and ordered Qi Wuhong, Song Zhong and other scholars to write the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses", and called it Houding.

The scale and system of Jingzhou schools are far beyond the scope of county studies, and it may be said that it is the southward migration of Luoyang Taixue.

During his tenure, Liu Biao loved the people and kept himself calmly. The war in the north continued, and Jingzhou, which Liu Biao occupied, was able to be peaceful.

Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shao, and both sides sent envoys to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to help.

Liu Biao refused to assist Cao Cao, nor did he want to send troops to aid Yuan Shao, but only hoped to protect himself between the Yangtze River and the Han River to watch the changes in the world.

Han Song, the word Degao, is a native of Yiyang (now Tongbai, Henan). When he was young, he was studious, and although he was poor, he did not change his ethics. Han Song knew that the world was going to be chaotic, so he should not be ordered by the three dukes, and only lived in seclusion in Lixi Mountain with a few people.

When the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Han Song took refuge in the south, and Liu Biao forced him to be a different driver and turned to Zhonglang.

Liu Biao worships the world in the suburbs, Han Song is disobedient, and gradually disobeys.

Han Song saw that Liu Biao neither aided Cao nor Yuan, and he was at both ends, so he said to Liu Biao: "The heroes are fighting together, the two heroes are holding each other, and the only thing in the world is the general." If the general wants to make a difference in troubled times, he should take advantage of the chaos in the world to start trouble; If not, then choose someone who can lead the world and follow him. The general now has a hundred thousand people, and he just sits and waits. The so-called seeing the virtuous but not being able to help (referring to Cao Cao), asking for peace but not being able to get (referring to Yuan Shao), so the two families will inevitably blame the general, and the general will not be able to continue to stand on his own feet. With Cao Gong's wisdom, the world's virtuous and virtuous people are all returning to him, and he is bound to be able to destroy Yuan Shao, and then he must lead his troops south to attack Jiang Han, and I am afraid that the general will not be able to resist his army. So for the sake of the general, it is better to attach the state to Cao Gong, and Cao Gong will inevitably treat the general seriously. In this way, you can enjoy the blessings for a long time, and your descendants will be able to enjoy it, which is the real perfect strategy. ”

Kuai Yue also persuaded Liu Biao with this, but Liu Biao was hesitant, so he sent Han Song to see Cao Cao to observe the reality and reality.

After Han Song returned from Xudu, he pointed out that Cao Cao was the real master of Ming, so he persuaded Liu Biao to send his son into the hostage.

Liu Biao, who was elegant on the outside but suspicious in his heart, suspected that Han Song was doing things for Cao Cao and became a traitor, so he was furious and wanted to kill Han Song.

Liu's cousin's wife, Mrs. Cai, advised: "Han Song, he is very prestigious in Jingchu, and he speaks frankly, there is no reason to kill him." ”

Liu Biao asked Han Song's entourage again, knowing that Han Song had no other intentions, so he stopped, but still imprisoned him.

Let's say that Sun Qian and Mi Zhu went to see Liu Biao on Liu Bei's orders, and after the ceremony, Liu Biao asked: "The second prince followed Xuande, I don't know why?" ”

Sun Qian said: "Uncle Huang is a hero in the world, and he is a member of the society." Because of the edict of the clothes and belts, Cao Cao did not tolerate it. He went to Hebei to persuade Yuan Shao to raise troops to attack Xudu, intending to welcome the Son of Heaven to revive the Liu family's Han family. Who wants Yuan Shao to be strong and middle-class, suspicious and indecisive, and does not listen to good advice, but the army is defeated and the official crossing, and he loses the cangting. Although the emperor's soldiers were few and far between, his determination to restore the Han dynasty remained unchanged, and he knew that he could not do it, and united with Liu Pi and Gong Du in Runan to attack Xudu. As a result, they were outnumbered and retreated south. Uncle Huang was newly defeated and wanted to go to Jiangdong to defect to Sun Zhongmou. We will persuade 'Don't turn your back on your relatives.' Today, General Liu of Jingzhou is the same as the emperor's uncle and the Han family, and he is a corporal of Lixian, and the servants are like a stream'. Uncle Huang was very pleased, and specially ordered me to come to see Ming Gong, and I wish to obey the general's orders. ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed: "Xuande, my Liu brothers, I have wanted to meet for a long time but can't get it." I am very fortunate to be willing to patronize me today! ”

Cai Mao persuaded on the side: "No." Liu Bei first followed Lu Bu, then Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, all of whom did not end, which shows that he is a person. If it is accepted today, Cao Cao will increase his troops in Jingzhou and fight in vain. It is better to decapitate the two of them and dedicate them to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will value the lord. ”

Mi Zhu refuted: "Are the two of us afraid of death? Uncle Huang is loyal to the country, not Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu can be compared. The reason why he went from Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao was to find an opportunity to eradicate traitors, welcome the Son of Heaven, and support the Han family. Although Liu Pi of Runan is an ordinary surname Liu, because he has the same surname as the emperor's uncle, he heard that he was crusading against traitors, but he still disregarded his life and protected the emperor's uncle with death. General Liu and Uncle Huang are both descendants of Liu Han and Miao, friendly and brothers of the same clan, and they are both uncles of the Son of Heaven. As the emperor's uncle's relatives, you and I should help the emperor's uncle get rid of traitors and save the world. But he slandered and envied the virtuous, turned his back on the thief, harmed the general in a disloyal and unrighteous place, and brutalized the same sect in vain. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he drank Cai Mao and said: "I have made up my mind, don't say more." ”

Cai Mao was reprimanded and came out with shame.

Liu Biao then ordered Sun Qian and Mi Zhu to report to Liu Bei first, and then personally went out of the city thirty miles to greet them.

Liu Bei saw Liu Biao, saluted very respectfully, and led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to meet Liu Biao. Liu Biao then led Liu Bei and others into the city, treated each other very well, allocated the courtyard house, and left Liu Bei to live in Jingzhou. Exactly: the same surname, the same clan, the same emperor, false heart, false feelings. If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
