Chapter 8: The Resurrection of the Hip

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao went on an expedition to Liucheng, Liu Bei persuaded Liu Biaodao: Brother Jingsheng, Cao Cao is far away in Liucheng at this time, I am a native of Youzhou, I know that Liucheng is located outside the fortress, and it is not easy to conquer, and it will be delayed for a long time.

Liu Biao said: Brother Xian, this matter can't be rushed, Cao Cao is cautious, he has long been on guard against us, we can't be tricked, and Xun Yu, the old man, is not easy to deal with. Wait and see. Hey, I've been tired lately, and I'm getting old, and I'm not mentally good.

Liu Bei was very disappointed, but said: "Brother, don't say that, as long as you have a good life, you will be fine soon." After the two chatted some gossip, Liu Bei took his leave.

After leaving the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Bei said in his heart: Liu Biao doesn't accept my words, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster in Jingzhou, I have to prepare early!

Cao Cao returned to Xuchang victoriously, began to train soldiers and horses, and built a Xuanwu Pond to train the navy, and his heart to the south was exposed.

Liu Biao knew that he remembered Liu Bei's suggestion in the rear, and he felt remorseful, so he summoned Liu Bei and said: "I didn't accept the good plan of the virtuous brother before, but now I have lost such a good opportunity." It's a pity for the foolish brother. ”

Liu Bei was not a pity, but he had to say: "Fang is split today, and the opportunity will definitely appear again when the time comes, and when the time comes, the missed opportunity will naturally not be enough to worry about." ”

After sitting for a while, Liu Bei got up and went to the toilet, and found that meat had grown on his thighs, and he couldn't help but shed tears. Something? ”

Liu Bei did not deceive and sighed: "The foolish brother used to fight in the south and the north, and he fought in all directions, and his body did not leave the saddle, so the hip meat (the meat on the thighs) was strong and strong, and after coming here, he was comfortable for a long time, and he did not fight for a long time, and the hip flesh was reborn." Thinking of the time drifting, like the moon, seeing that I am about to get old, and the fame and ambition have not yet been established, nothing has been achieved, so sadness comes from it. ”

Liu Biao also sighed. When Liu Bei left, Liu Biao got up to see him off, and after seeing Liu Bei leave, he kept looking into the distance, and the attendants on the left and right said carefully: "Lord, Liu Yuanjun has already left." ”

Liu Biao said softly: "I know." ”

After a long time, he turned around and went back to the house, walked into the courtyard and suddenly said, "Go, lead my horse." ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and Liu Biao said loudly: "Go and lead the horse." ”

Liu Biao entered the inner room to change his clothes, and the waiter was already waiting in the court.

Liu Biao straightened his clothes, stepped forward to get on the horse, the waiter wanted to help, Liu Biao shouted: "I Liu Biao hasn't used it yet, and the horse can't get up." ”

After riding the horse, the waiter led the horse, and Liu Biao said: "Go outside the city." The waiter promised.

At this time, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue came with a letter. Hurriedly said: "Lord, your body is just right, it is not suitable to do such exercise." ”

Liu Biao said: "Cao Cao's army will arrive soon, and when the time comes, I will lead the troops to resist, protect my Han Jingzhou, get out of the way, do you think my Liu Biao is so sick that I can only wait for death?" ”

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue didn't dare to say anything, so they could only serve Liu Biao.

After Liu Biao left the city, he galloped on his horse and was very happy. Under the worried watchful eyes of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, Liu Biao, who was tired of running, climbed high and looked north, but everyone did not approach.

Liu Biao looked at the north for a long time and muttered, "Is Cao Cao the only one who is a hero?" Is Liu Bei the only hero? I, Liu Biao, also rode into Jing alone, pacified the chaotic Jingzhou, sat on the land of nine counties, supported 100,000 troops, and dominated the south. ”

subconsciously touched his thighs, as if asking himself: "I am also resurrected, why am I not as sad as Liu Bei?" "Touching my face, there were no tears.

A few days after returning to Xinye, Liu Bei entered Fancheng, and Fancheng made his nephew Kou Feng quite brave and skilled in martial arts, and Liu Bei accepted him as a general.

After being stationed in Fancheng, Liu Bei discussed with Xu Shu, and Liu Bei said: "Yuan Zhi, when Cao Cao's army returns to Xuchang, he must have the heart to go south, so he should prepare as soon as possible." ”

Xu Shu said: "As the lord said, Shu has already considered it, and now we must first expand the troops and horses and strengthen our strength." ”

Liu Bei said: "How to expand the soldiers and horses, Liu Biao will not allocate soldiers and horses to us." ”

Xu Shu said: "My lord, I don't need Liu Biao's allocation, Jingzhou is stable, and the north is constantly in turmoil, many people have been displaced to Jingzhou, and there are many in Fancheng, among which there are not a few people who have not registered their household registration." Why didn't the lord investigate and reorganize these homeless households and recruit troops from them to expand the army. ”

Liu Bei said: "It's a good way, but it can't be forcibly requisitioned, otherwise it will lose the support of the people." ”

Xu Shu said: "Don't worry, the lord is relieved, these homeless people come from homeless, and life is not easy, and there must be many people who are willing." ”

Liu Bei said: "Okay, that's good." Yuan Zhi, I still have one more thing, now Jingzhou waterways are vertical and horizontal, the so-called North Manan ship, since we are in Jingzhou, we should form our own navy, just want the navy to need ships, and now we dare not blatantly cut down and build ships, what should we do? ”

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, you are going to seize Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Take precautions, I will not hurt Liu Biao and his clan, let alone take revenge on the dove to occupy the magpie's nest." The formation of the naval army was just to use the power of the sailor to contain Cao Cao, and Liu Biao was too old to rely on him, let alone the Jingzhou sailor. I need my own strength. ”

Xu Shu touched the tip of his nose and said, "Liu Biao's descendants can't keep Jingzhou." ”

Liu Bei understood what Xu Shu meant and said, "I will assist his son and help him protect Jingzhou." ”

Xu Shu smiled and said, "The lord is really a benevolent and righteous person. That's fine. It's not hard to do that. After we cut down the trees, we sold them to the people at a low price, and then spread rumors that Cao Cao's army would arrive soon, and Jingzhou should rectify the soldiers and horses to resist Cao Cao, and the navy lacked warships, so it was necessary to collect civilian ships at a high price. When the lord sends people to organize the people to make it, and when it is time to use it, it will be sold at a high price, and it will be a matter of course, so that the boat is hidden in the people, even if someone asks and says that it is the people's ship, he will not be able to hold the handle of the lord. It's just that the lord will have to break the bill when the time comes. ”

Liu Bei said happily: "Good plan, it's just small and medium-sized, but what about large warships?" ”

Xu Shu said: "The owner of a large warship will build it, build it according to the scale of a large warship, and when it is built, the hardware of all kinds of large warships is not needed, first build a hull, and some people ask to only use it as a grain ship, and then change it when it is used." The number should not be too much, let's build a dozen first! In addition, the lord also told Liu Biao in advance, saying that it was a grain ship, so that no one would chew his tongue in front of Liu Biao. ”

Liu Bei said: "It's okay, it can only be like this." ”

Xu Shu said: "In addition, Gan Ning has sent people to help train the navy for some time, and Yun Chang also has a deep understanding that as long as the warships are sufficient, the navy will stand up." ”

Liu Bei said: "Gan Ning sent someone to come, saying that Jiangdong was afraid that he was going to raise troops again, asking for fire oil, saltpeter and other things. I've sent someone to deliver it to him. ”

Xu Shu said: "It seems that Jiangdong has come to Huang Zu for revenge again." ”

Liu Bei said: "I don't know if Xingba can resist it." ”

Xu Shu said: "Don't worry, the lord didn't send gold and silver, weapons, nearly 100 horses, and soldiers to Gan Ning. The material of General Gan Ning will be used well. ”

Liu Bei said: "I hope so." ”

Xu Shu took the opportunity to say: "Lord, I recommend someone to you." ”

Liu Bei said: "Who." ”

Xu Shu said: "This person and I are senior brothers, who have studied for several years, have Jiang Shang and Zhang Liangzhi, are called Wolong, and their surname is Zhuge Mingliang." ”

Liu Bei said: "This person is better than Mr. ”

Xu Shu said: "How dare I compare with him, the difference between heaven and earth." ”

Liu Bei exclaimed: "In this case, please come with Yuanzhi." ”

Xu Shu said: "This person can only be invited in person, and he can't be allowed to come to visit." ”

Liu Bei muttered: "Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, okay, I'll go and invite you personally." ”

So, Liu Bei looked at the thatched cottage three times, visited Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was convinced by Liu Bei, and under Liu Bei's pleading, Wolong went out of the mountain. Precisely:

Once the sky collapses and the country rests, the disputes have not been extinguished.

Yan Zhao heroes live and die, and fight to fight the storm.

Fate is hesitant, and six years of empty sighs and flesh.

Thousands of miles gallop without good horses, spread their wings and take off the air and worry about soft wings.

The water mirror rarely lifts the dragon and phoenix, and the first lord rushes to visit Mr.

Xiangyang's secluded path lies in the dragon, and a pair of longzhong reports sincerity.

Xuande has to wish Kong Mingxing, and the virtuous lord and famous ministers talk twice.

Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to return to Fancheng, and also worshiped Zhuge Liang as a military advisor.

I know that there is nothing to write about, so there are only a few hundred words, a lot of Haihan.
