Let's say that Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, and saw that Liu Qi was filial piety, respectful to his elders, easy to control, had many contacts, and had good friendships. The way to take the chaos. If you are worried about the weight of the Cai family, you can slowly weaken her power, and you can't set up a young son because you dote on her mother. ”

Liu Biao was silent.

Liu Bei couldn't control his heart, and said frankly, when he saw Liu Biao's expression, he consciously lost his speech, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet with a small explanation, and thought to himself: I thought that he and Jingsheng were both relatives of the Han family, and they could use Jingzhou to restore the Liu family's world in order to achieve great things. Although he temporarily lives in Xinye, he will control Liu Qi in the future and rely on Jingzhou to compete with Cao Cao and Xu Tu the world. Who wants Liu Biao to have the idea of abolishing the long and young. If this happens, Jingzhou will fall into the hands of Liu Cong and be controlled by the Cai family. Cai's jealousy and hatred will inevitably be intolerable, and he will be bumpy and displaced. Since the 23rd spring and autumn period of the uprising with Guan Zhang, the sun and the moon have been staggering, nearly 50 years old, the veteran is coming, but he has not seen his achievements, and he has repeatedly sent people under the fence, and he has no place to stand, and he does not feel that he is sobbing.

When he returned to the banquet a little, Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei had tears on his face, and asked in surprise: "What is the sad thing about the virtuous brother." ”

Liu Bei then sighed with hip meat: "In the past, the body did not leave the saddle, and the muscles on both sides of the thighs were loose, but now I don't ride a horse for a long time, and the hip meat is more." The years have passed, and the achievements have not been built, so it is sad. ”

Liu Biao said: "The virtuous brother is regarded as an uncle today, and everyone in the world envies him with the emperor's uncle." When Wen Xiandi was in Xuchang, he and Cao Cao Qingmei cooked wine and talked about the heroes of the world, and the virtuous brothers did all the famous people in the world, but Cao Cao did not do so, and only said that the heroes of the world were only the virtuous brothers and Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's power, he still doesn't dare to be in front of the virtuous brother, who in the world dares to underestimate the virtuous brother? With the prestige of the virtuous brother, he will definitely help my Liu family in the world, how can there be a sigh of flesh? ”

Liu Bei saw that he was taking advantage of the wine, and the forcibly suppressed mood casually said: "If I have the basics, the people in the world are not worried!" ”

Liu Biao was silent when he heard this, and when Liu Bei saw this, he consciously lost his words, pretended to be drunk, and went back to the museum to rest.

Mrs. Cai has had doubts since Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, and whenever she meets Liu Biao and Liu Bei talking together, she will eavesdrop.

Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to have a banquet, Mrs. Cai had been behind the screen, and first heard that Liu Bei persuaded Liu Biao not to abolish the elder and younger, and she was very jealous in her heart.

After Liu Bei left, Mrs. Cai turned out from behind the screen and said to Liu Biao: "I listened to what Liu Bei said behind the screen, I was very arrogant, I looked at no one else, it seems that my ambition is not small, which shows that I have the intention of annexing Jingzhou." If it is not removed now, it will be a trouble. ”

Liu Biao listened to Liu Bei's words just now, although he didn't say anything, but he was unhappy in his heart, and when he heard that Mrs. Cai wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, he just shook his head.

Mrs. Cai sent Liu Biao to rest in the house, and urgently summoned Cai Mao to discuss.

Cai Mao said: "You can kill him in the hall first, and then inform the lord." ”

After Mrs. Cai promised, Cai Mao ordered troops to go to the pavilion overnight to kill Liu Bei.

Besides, Liu Bei consciously lost his words, returned to the building, and sat with a candle, uncertain.

Suddenly, a person knocked on the door and entered, Liu Bei saw that he was from Iraq, knew that there was something urgent, and hurriedly welcomed in.

Yi didn't like it, told Cai Mao about his plot, and urged Liu Bei to get up quickly.

When Liu Bei heard this, he urgently called the servant, Xie Beiyi, and rushed back to Xinye in the starry night.

Cai Mao led the troops to the building, disappeared Liu Bei, and knew that he had fled, so he inscribed a poem on the wall, and then told Liu Biao: "Liu Bei has a rebellious heart, and after inscribed a poem on the wall, he left without resignation." ”

Liu Biao didn't believe it, and went to the building in person, and sure enough, Liu Bei was gone, only to see four lines of poetry on the wall: "Several years of helpless defense, empty to the old mountains and rivers." The dragon is in the pool, and the thunder wants to go to the sky. ”

Liu Biao was furious when he saw the poem, and drew his sword fiercely: "Swear to kill this unrighteous person." ”

After walking a few steps, I suddenly woke up: I have known him for many years, and I have never seen him compose poems. It is known that he has been selling and weaving mats since he was a child, and although he studied with Gongsun Zhan Lu Zhi, he likes dogs and horses and is not very happy to read. Although this verse is not good, it is not what it did, and it should be a plan for outsiders to divide the world, and it cannot be vain.

Liu Biao thought about this, so he went back to the building, sharpened the verses with the tip of his sword, abandoned the sword and went back.

Cai Mao greeted him and said, "The sergeants have been ordered, and they can go to Xinye to capture Liu Bei." ”

Liu Biao said: "Don't make mistakes. Rong Xu Tuzhi. ”

Cai Mao saw Liu Biao's hesitation, so she had another plan with Mrs. Cai.

The next day, Cai Mao invited Liu Biao to see him and said: "In recent years, Jingzhou has had a bumper harvest, and when the officials gathered to celebrate, the lord came to preside over it in person to express his comfort. ”

Liu Biao said: "In recent years, the north has been fighting endlessly, because my Jingzhou is rich in food and peace, self-protection is slightly stable, and many scribes and virtuous people come to avoid chaos, which is the power of the officials of various counties and counties, and they should gather to celebrate." But recently, my illness has often relapsed, and I am upset, so I can't go to preside over it in person, so I can let my second son preside over the celebration. ”

Cai Mao said: "The son is young, and I am afraid of losing etiquette. The county guards and county officials suspected that the lord was negligent, but he was displeased. ”

Liu Biao said: "Then go to Xinye and invite Xuande to come and host the hospitality." I and Xuande are brothers of the same clan, and I preside over the reception in the name of the emperor's uncle, which should not be thin. ”

Cai Mao was secretly happy and killed Liu Bei during the banquet, which was the conspiracy of Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai, so he sent someone to Xinye to invite Liu Bei to Xiangyang to host the hospitality.

Let's say that Liu Bei got a secret from Yi and ran back to Xinye overnight, with palpitations.

Suddenly reported that the envoy from Jingzhou invited him to Xiangyang for a meeting.

When Sun Qian saw Liu Bei coming back from Xiangyang, he looked restless, speculating that there must be an accident, and persuasion should not be taken lightly.

Only then did Liu Bei say what Cai Mao wanted to do.

Zhang Fei shouted: "There is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting, just don't go." ”

Guan Yu said: "The county magistrates of Jingzhou are all gathered in Xiangyang, Liu Jingzhou's special envoy invited his brother to preside over the hospitality, Xinye is close to the state capital, if you don't go, Liu Jingzhou will definitely be suspicious." ”

Zhao Yun said: "I will bring 300 people with me, but I can protect the lord and the public." ”

Liu Bei said: "This is very good. So he and Zhao Yun went to Xiangyang on the same day.

Liu Bei went to Xiangyang to attend the meeting, and during the banquet, it was still the Iraqi general Cai Mao who wanted to kill and conspired to tell Liu Bei.

Liu Bei escaped, rode out of the west gate, traveled for a few miles, there was Tanxi blocking the road in front, and Cai Mao led the army to chase after him, in a hurry, the horse went down the river, not a few steps, the horse's hooves fell into the mud, the stream soaked the robe, and couldn't help but whip and shout: "Lu! Lou! Are you really going to bother me today? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the horse rise up, leap three feet, and fly onto the west bank.

Liu Bei instantly seemed to be in the clouds, as if he was drunk and infatuated, and he had a whimsical thought: "Isn't it the will of heaven that he jumped over such a wide stream!" "By chance, he rode his horse to Nanzhang (now Nanzhang County, Xiangyang, Hubei).

Seeing that the sun was about to sink in the west, I suddenly saw a shepherd boy straddling the back of an ox and playing a flute.

Liu Bei thought to himself: Piccolo sits on the cow, the sunset reflects each other, and the shepherd boy is at ease, I might as well too. Then he flashed on the side of the road and immediately watched.

When the shepherd boy saw it, he also stopped the cow and stopped the flute, and looked Liu Bei up and down: "Isn't the general Liu Xuande who broke the yellow scarf?" ”

Liu Bei asked in surprise: "How does a child in a remote village know my name?" ”

The shepherd boy said, "How do I know? Because he was often by the Master's side, and the guests who often came to visit the Master, he talked more about a hero named Liu Xuande, who was seven feet five inches long, with his hands above his knees, and his eyes and ears could take care of his ears. Looking at the appearance of the general today, it must be. ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: In such a remote village, there are still so many hermits talking about themselves, so he asked the shepherd boy: "Where does your master live?" ”

The shepherd boy pointed to the Jungle Manor: "In front of the Water Mirror Village." ”

Liu Bei said: "I am Liu Xuande." It's getting late today, can you take me to see your master? ”

The shepherd boy promised.

Liu Bei followed the shepherd boy, talked all the way, and learned that Sima Hui, the word Decao, Yingchuan Yang Zhai people.

He is a noble and noble person, has a wide range of knowledge, has the ability to know people and discuss the world, and identifies talents, and is respected by the world, and is called Mr. Shuijing.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, Yuan Shu was called the emperor in the south, and Liu Biao's neutral strategy made Jingzhou relatively peaceful, so he set up school officials, established schools, and many virtuous scholars from all over the country came to avoid chaos.

Sima Hui also came to Xiangyang from Yingchuan and built a house in the dense forest to live in seclusion. Because of his erudition and knowledge, he was proficient in Qimen, the art of war, and scriptures, and was as famous as Song Zhong, a famous scholar who was ordered by Liu Biao to compile the "Five Chapters of Verses".

Liu Hui, a native of Nanyang, and Xiang Lang, a native of Xiangyang, were once students of Sima Hui; Yin Mo and Li Ren, who were from Yizhou Furen, came to Jingzhou to learn ancient scriptures from Sima Hui and Song Zhong because Yizhou was only popular in modern literature and classics.

Liu Biao visited, and Sima Hui knew that Liu Biao was narrow-minded and would definitely murder the good, so he kept silent and did not talk about the current situation.

Liu Biao thought that Sima Hui was a person who could only say, "Good!" Good!" "Yes Mr.

Later, as long as someone said in front of Liu Biao: "Sima Decao is a stranger, but he hasn't met a confidant." ”

Liu Biao said: "What people say is false, this person is just a little scholar, and his insight is no different from that of ordinary people. ”

Liu Biao's evaluation of Sima Hui is not all groundless.

At that time, scholars gathered, and popular critics were popular.

But Sima Hui never casually evaluates the level of others, as long as he is asked, Sima Hui will say "this person is good, very good".

Sima Hui's wife said to him: "When someone asks how someone is, you should say something specific and always answer 'yes, very good', how can this work?" When people come to ask you, they don't want to hear you say, 'Yes, it's good.'" ”

Sima Hui replied to his wife: "You speak very well." ”

This is where the idiom "Mr. Yes" comes from.

In later generations, the term "Mr. Yes" was often used to describe people who did not want to cause trouble, but just wanted to be safe.

The idiom "borrowing silkworms from clusters" is enough to see its character of being kind to others and being virtuous.

Once, the silkworms raised by someone should have formed cocoons, and there was nowhere to tuft, so they came to borrow cluster foil from Sima Hui's family.

Sima Hui lent him his family's tuft foil.

Someone asked him: "When you lend something to others, it is something that others urgently need and you don't need to be idle for a while, and now that the silkworm is in its cocoon, he and you urgently need tuft foil, why lend it to others?"

Sima Hui replied, "No one has asked me, but if I don't lend it to him, he will be very ashamed." Where is the reason to be ashamed of possessions? ”

Liu Bei listened to the introduction of the shepherd boy, and Fang knew that Mr. Shuijing treated people kindly, and made friends with mostly hermit sages, people of insight, and knew that there were many handsome people, and they were by no means ordinary people, so they should humbly visit and seek advice. Exactly: the savior of Lu Tanxi, the hermit thatched cottage recommended wizard. If you want to know who Mr. Shuijing recommended to Liu Bei, and see the next decomposition.
