In the city of Shouchun, the palace is secluded and verdant.

In a glorious palace that had been more than half built, Liu Bei stood on the steps, bowed his head slightly, and looked at the prisoner who was heavily bound.

He opened his mouth and smiled, "Bo Fu, don't come unharmed."

Sun Ce followed Sun Jian to the east and west all the year round, and naturally met Liu Bei a few times.

Every time we meet, even if it is a familiar person, Sun Jian always has to introduce it, and between the words it is nothing more than that this is my dog, except for some martial arts, the next one is not a weapon.

It's just that every time he speaks, the corners of his mouth are always upturned in this brave man on the battlefield, and he doesn't seem to think that his own son will be useless.

Under the high level, Sun Ce was still struggling.

The ropes are heavy, trapping the tiger.

Liu Bei continued, "There's no need to struggle. The tiger general of the Bo Fu world, the tiger binding, has to be tight."

Knowing that there was no hope of getting out of the predicament, Sun Ce stopped struggling, and raised his head and stared at Liu Bei, "Why don't you kill me?"

Standing on the steps, Liu Bei, who is now middle-aged, didn't answer, but smiled to himself: "When I first met your father, it was the first time I left Youzhou and rushed to Luoyang, and you were just born that year. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Sun Ce naturally heard Sun Jian mention this past, although he and Liu Bei were opponents, but in fact, Sun Jian has always regarded Liu Bei as a rare hero in the world.

"Who would have thought that the times have changed now, and most of the old people are no longer there."

Sun Ce was silent, probably thinking of Sun Jian.

Liu Bei smiled, "Bo Fu, since I am your elder, I always have to say something to you. When a man dies, he really has nothing. Only by living can all things have a chance. There is hope for such a thing as revenge."

Sun Ce was about to speak, but Liu Bei had already beckoned the sergeants outside the hall to come in, and asked them to take Sun Ce down and take care of him.

Liu Bei was the only one left in the hall, and when he looked up, it was empty and quite cold.

He sat on the high steps of the temple in silence.

It turned out that the news of Yuan Shu's suicide reached Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was furious, and he strengthened his spirit, wanting to pour the power of Jizhou south again.

Unfortunately, before he set off, he suddenly fell ill, vomited blood from his mouth, and fell under the horse.

died like this, and it didn't even have time to leave a word.

Yuan Shaoduo has many heirs, and he has never set up an heir before, plus he has always preferred young sons, so now many of his heirs occupy one side and fight endlessly.

Yuan Shao's advisers, such as Guo Tu and others, also stood in their own lines, making the situation in Jizhou more and more weird.

What he just said to Sun Ce was not inspired by seeing Yuan Shao's matter.

Liu Bei suddenly laughed, stood up, and went down the steps.

It's time to go home.

…………

Qingzhou, Liu Bei, who took Yangzhou, turned back first, and as for Yangzhou, the matter was naturally closed by Jia Xu, Guan Yu and others.

In Linzi City, Liu Bei returned to the mansion with a guqin.

has been running around all year round, but he doesn't have much time in Qingzhou.

Sure enough, when I heard that he was returning with the piano, the father-in-law who had been stuffy in the house all day reading and talking quickly rushed over.

At this time, Cai Yong was repeatedly touching the guqin in his hand and sighed.

I heard that this thing was exchanged for a stone of rice by Liu Bei.

He began to mumble something in his mouth that the world did not know good things, and he was ashamed of the sages.

He is a master of this way, and he will naturally feel that he is a tyrannical thing.

It's just that now in troubled times, the so-called sage truth, the authenticity of antiquities, is not as real as half a bowl of rice in a bowl.

Cai Yong has also been displaced, so naturally he will not understand the truth. just understands and understands, but it doesn't prevent him from complaining.

In the end, he is a reader who has read a lot of sage books.

Liu Bei just stood aside and listened.

Now although he is the largest prince in the world who occupies several states, he can be old

In front of people, there is still only only submissiveness and training.

After Liu's mother passed away a few years ago, there are not many old people who dare to reprimand Liu Bei and can reprimand Liu Bei.

In addition to Cai Yong in front of him, there are only a few people left, Lu Zhi, who is in seclusion and teaching behind closed doors, and Liu Yu, who is in Luoyang.

He suddenly remembered that Lu Bu had sent a letter, asking him to find a way to trick Cai Yong's Jiaowei Qinyu into his hands.

He glanced at the obsessed old man in front of him again.

I quickly made a decision in my heart, and it was better to let Lu Bu come by himself.

At this time, a small man made of pink jade ran into the courtyard, but at the age of four or five years old, he staggered towards Liu Bei, followed by several young maids.

Liu Bei hurriedly bent over and held the child in his arms.

He chuckled softly, "How is Ah Chan studying these days?"

The child's face, which had been stretched out, suddenly wrinkled.

Then he attached himself to Liu Bei's ear and said bad things about several of them.

It's not a bad thing, it's just that a few gentlemen are a little harsh on him, and sometimes when they get angry, they will give him a few bamboo boards, unlike other gentlemen, who never reprimand him.

It turned out that although Liu Chan was young now, Liu Bei still invited a few gentlemen to teach him to read. The only pity is that the prime minister is also young now, otherwise he is his best husband.

At this time, after listening to Liu Chan's words, Liu Bei just nodded, and had already decided in his heart to reward those stern gentlemen, and also to drive out those good gentlemen who did not dare to speak.

The child naturally didn't know that he would have to suffer more in the future, and at this time he had already asked why Brother Zhuge who had often come to the house before had not come for many days.

Liu Bei raised his hand and rubbed his hair.

At this time, a gentle woman chasing her child came to the backyard.

She stood in the porch, and he stood in the courtyard.

The husband and wife, who had not seen each other for a long time, looked at each other and smiled.

She walked down the corridor, took the child in her hands, and whispered a few words to him, but she didn't know how soon to return home.

Liu Bei naturally bent down slightly, smiling in front of this woman who was not as tall as him, and was as willing as a glutton.

Fortunately, the woman only complained a few words, and then returned to the school with the child.

On the corridor, a gentle woman who had always been full of books reprimanded the child in her arms in a low voice.

The child wrinkled his face, turned his head, and waved lightly to Liu Bei in the backyard.

Liu Bei clasped his hands in his sleeves and smiled gently.

What do you say?

…………

After all, it was a troubled time, and he had not lived a stable life in Qingzhou for a few days, and a letter came from Jizhou.

And the sender is extremely interesting.

Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan.

Liu Bei smiled and handed the letter to Xun He on the side, "What does Wen Ruo think? How much is true and how much is false?"

Xun He, who was reading on the side, took the letter and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Things may not be false, after Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan family in Jizhou has already been in chaos. I also spent some time in Jizhou back then, and there was tension between the Yuan brothers at that time, but with Yuan Shao here, I couldn't make any waves."

Liu Bei nodded, "So the letter says that Yuan Tan wants to use my power to attack Jizhou is credible."

Xun He smiled, "The attack on Jizhou is credible, but Yuan Tan is not credible. Yuan Shao has always favored the second son, and it is not without reason. Yuan Tan is greedy for power, if this person occupies Jizhou, in the future, this person's eyes will be in sight, I am afraid that he will go south."

There are some words, Xun or no need to say more, Liu Bei can naturally understand.

Liu Bei nodded again, "It seems that we can meet this person. But it doesn't have to be too early, just wait for their brothers to fight and lose."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

He laughed softly, "I am an old friend from the beginning, how can I not go to his grave to pay respects."

…………

In Jizhou, the two Yuan brothers fought for several months, and in the end, Yuan Tan was defeated and fled. All the way to the Bohai Sea.

And when Yuan Tan was almost desperate, Liu Bei finally met him.

Now that Yuan Tan is only left with the remnants of the defeated army, he can naturally only listen to the arrangement of Liu Bei's side, and the two sides will meet in Banxian County, Qingzhou.

Under the account, Guo Tu, walked with Yuan Tan.

They entered the county and lived in a mansion that had been arranged long ago.

A few days later, Liu Bei and others came to Banxian County, and then arranged a banquet.

It is said that it is a feast, and there are only a few people who feast.

Yuan Tan looked at the middle-aged man above, and it was difficult to see that this person was now the largest prince in control of several states in the world.

Liu Bei, who was at the top, said with a smile: "Xiansi, there is no need to be restrained, my father and I are old friends, although there are some disagreements on political opinions, I have nothing to do with you juniors."

Yuan Tan hurriedly got up to toast.

Liu Bei finished drinking, turned his head to look at Guo Tu beside Yuan Tan, and said with a smile: "Gongze, I don't want you and me to see each other again."

Guo Tu smiled helplessly, stood up, and drank a few bowls of punishment wine by himself.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Why do you need to be like this, what happened to you and me back then was actually not a big deal. At least it is nothing compared to what you have come to ask for today."

Where Yuan Tan's behavior came from, in fact, both parties know it.

Yuan Tan said in a deep voice: "Now that Yuan Shang is reckless and steals from the state and county, and there are many people under my father's command who help to abuse people, Tan is defeated here. I also ask the state pastor to help, get rid of the female culprit, and help me recover Jizhou, and in the future, Tan Ding will take the state herding horse as the first priority."

Liu Bei was slightly silent when he heard this, and he didn't speak immediately, but took a sip of wine.

He opened his mouth and laughed, "I have been friends with the beginning, how can I see the son of the old man in trouble and not save him."

Yuan Tan sighed.

They are both smart people, and both parties actually know each other's goals.

Yuan Tan wanted to defeat Yuan Shang with the help of Liu Bei's military strength, and then take the opportunity to gather the power of Jizhou, and then drive Liu Bei out of Jizhou.

The Yuan family has accumulated a lot of popularity in Jizhou over the years, and Liu Bei naturally wants to use the name of Yuan Tan, the son of the Yuan family, to enter Jizhou.

As for who Jizhou will fall into in the end, it can only be based on the ability of both sides.

Liu Bei laughed and raised the wine bowl, "Let me first toast our future Jizhou Mu with a glass of wine."

Yuan Tan seemed to be overjoyed and stood up and toasted with Liu Bei.

…………

Liu Bei naturally would not attack Jizhou alone with the Qingzhou army.

At the beginning of the army, he had already made an appointment with Gongsun Zan in the east of Jizhou, Lu Bu in the north, and Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army in the west to attack Jizhou together.

These people had already had ideas about Jizhou, if they hadn't received Liu Bei's secret letter before, they were afraid that they would have been impatient and would have attacked Jizhou when the Yuan brothers were fighting and dying.

Now that Yuan Shao has died, the Yuan brothers are fighting with each other, so that Jizhou's vitality that only recovered a little after Yuan Shao's defeat of Qingzhou quickly faded.

Attacking from all sides, even if Yuan Shao is alive, it will be difficult to resist, let alone Yuan Shang, who is far inferior to his father?

However, in a short period of time, the Qingzhou army has approached Yecheng.

Before the arrival of the Qingzhou army, the Yuan brothers had already broken through from the north with their henchmen and horses and went straight to Wuhuan.

Under the city of Yecheng, the Qingzhou army was stationed here.

Now although the Yuan brothers have fled, the trial in the city is still based on the city.

Yecheng was built by Yuan Shao for many years, the city is high and solid, and it is extremely difficult to overcome.

Liu Bei called Guo Tu over and said with a smile: "Gongzhi, how about judging this person?"

Guo Tu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "This person is too upright, and he has no scruples about acting as a person. Now that he is guarding this place, the governor has no choice but to break the city."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "In the past, in the primordial army, Tian Feng, Fu Zhi and so on

Men are resourceful, where are they now?"

Guo Tu's face was a little embarrassed, and it was hard to say that those people were defeated in the political struggle with him, and now they are at home.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "A few people are not valued by the Yuan brothers, and now they are idle at home."

Liu Bei glanced at him and said with a smile, "I see."

When Guo Tu retreated, Jia Xu entered from the outside.

"Now that Yecheng can't be attacked for a long time, I don't think the lord is in a hurry, so he must have a way."

Jia Xu sat down opposite Liu Bei, the two had been together for many years, and they were already familiar with each other's temperament.

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, as long as he waited, Yecheng would break itself.

Jia Xu smiled and asked, "Why didn't the lord bring Wen Ruo with him this time? He has traveled to Jizhou and is very familiar with this place. There are many wealthy families in Jizhou, and the Xun family is also famous all over the world, if Wen Ruo comes, many things will not be able to save a lot of effort."

Liu Bei smiled, "You and I both know Wen Ruo's temperament. Even if you can't shirk it, if you come with me, but acting against his will will will always cause him to fall a thorn in his heart."

Jia Xu nodded and said no more.

He actually didn't care about the affairs of Jizhou, and now Jizhou fell into their hands, but sooner or later.

What he said more importantly was to remind Liu Bei that now that their power is growing, after annexing Jizhou today, whether it is north of the Yellow River or south of the Yellow River, there will be no opponent of their Qingzhou.

But as soon as the situation changes, I am afraid that people's hearts will also change.

Xun or in the end is different from him.

Compared with him, Xun Or is more like a pure reader, what he seeks in his life, but he only cultivates Qi Zhiping, four words.

On top of this, there is a personal responsibility to maintain the interests of the family and support the aspirations of the Han family.

Heavy shackles.

It's just that some of them were given to him by others, and some of them were asked for by himself.

So much for.

Jia Xu sighed, "When I was still in Bingzhou and Luoyang, I actually envied a family like Wen Ruo. If there is a family that paves the road in advance, who wants to struggle. But now it seems that after all, each has its own hardships and worries."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "Life is in the world, everyone has their own needs, and who doesn't live hard."
