three kings

Chapter 327 Deciding Central Plains Guangping Jushou
Guangping County is located in the south of Hejizhou, where merchants gather, and prosperity is one of the economic lifelines of Jizhou.

Liu Bei got out of the carriage slowly under Liu Feng's call. The sword might not have hurt the heart and lungs, but after all it was on the chest, which is the fatal part of the human body.After careful diagnosis and treatment, it has improved a lot, but it is still a little inconvenient.Whenever there is a large movement, there will be bursts of stabbing pain in the chest.

He glanced at the people around him, and said in a low voice, "Feng'er, where does Mr. Jushou live?"

Liu Feng replied: "It's in the deepest part of Guangping County. There is a towering banyan tree over a hundred years old at the gate, which is very easy to find." He looked around and found a huge " The word "wine" was overjoyed, and he said: "Father, your injury is not healed, and you have been exhausted all the way, why don't you take a rest in the tavern in front. After dinner, go to Mr. Jushou, okay?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Every day I don't see Mr. Jushou, I don't feel at ease as a father. Our army is waiting for a new one. There was a strong enemy Yuan Shao in the past, Gongsun Du in Liaodong, and now there is another Karasuma. The situation is complicated. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being destroyed. At this moment, our army is in great need of such a wise man with a long-term vision and a deep understanding of strategies. Let's go, this trip must not be sloppy, and there must be no accidents. My body can still support it. Go directly to Mr. Jushou's residence."

Tian Yu also got down from the car, and said: "The sincerity of the lord will definitely move Mr. Jushou, so that he can work for the lord and help the lord achieve great things."

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled wryly to himself, remembering that when he was in Yuan Shao's army, all his overtures were met with Jushou's wrath.But no matter what, you have to try it yourself.If you try, you will have a chance, but if you don't try, you can only watch the talented people lose.

He sighed long and said, "I hope so."

A group of people walked back to Jushou's mansion and went deep into Guangping County. After a while, they saw a towering banyan tree with a round crown and a huge green umbrella in the distance.

When I came to the bottom of the banyan tree, I saw that the banyan tree was intertwined and full of leaves covering the sky. The trunk was as thick as the waistline of ten adults.

Liu Bei couldn't help praising: "What a banyan tree..." Then, he thought of the mulberry tree in his hometown in Zhuojun County, and vaguely remembered what the child said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should ride on this Yubao chariot cover."

He laughed uncontrollably, shook his head and sighed for a while, and under Liu Feng's guidance, he walked towards the three thatched huts at the end of the village.

A handsome young man was practicing guns inside the fence. The foundation of marksmanship such as spear stabbing, stabbing, attacking, slamming, wrapping, ringing, blocking, etc. was solid and tasteful.

Liu Bei stepped forward and kowtowed: "Dare to ask, brother, is this the residence of Mr. Jushou?"

The young man stopped his gun and stood, looked at Liu Bei and the others vigilantly, and said, "Exactly, who are you, why do you want to find my father?"

Liu Bei said happily: "It turns out that you are Mr. Jushou's Linzi. Disrespect, disrespect. In Xiazhuo County, Liu Bei learned that Mr. lives in seclusion here, so he came here to pay a special visit and beg to see him."

When Juhu heard that it was Liu Bei, the vigilance in his eyes became even stronger. Seeing that Liu Bei had come with three people, and none of them were wearing weapons, he felt relieved and said, "You are waiting here, and I will report it here. Father."

Juhu turned around and entered the house, walked out after a while, and said to Liu Bei: "My father doesn't want to see you, so you go."

Unmoved, Liu Bei continued, "Liu Bei came here sincerely, and begged to see you, sir."

Juhu looked at Liu Bei for a long time, and then walked into the house again, he didn't understand why Liu Bei was so sincerely seeking to see him, why his father was still thinking about Yuan Shao, who treated him like dirt, waiting here for Yuan Shao's repentance and Yuan Shao's invitation.

Liu Bei waited for a whole day, a full twelve hours, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, but he still persisted. The wound on his chest was like an awl, piercing his body one by one.

The pale face and stubborn expression made Liu Feng and Tian Yu helpless, and Juhu was also deeply moved, and walked into the room again and again, but Jushou was like a stubborn bull, unmoved.

…………

where is thisMy chest hurts, what's wrong with me.

Liu Bei slowly opened his eyes. He hadn't eaten for a long time, which made him feel like a knife was twisting in his stomach.

By the way, why am I lying here, I am obviously waiting for Mr. Jushou's courtyard to meet him, how come I am here.

"Father, are you awake?" A young face appeared in front of the bed, and the adopted son Liu Feng walked over, "Hurry up and eat something, you haven't eaten for three days."

three days?

Then I sleep for two days.

"Damn it!" Liu Bei yelled, and immediately turned over the quilt and shouted, "Feng'er, go and get my clothes."

Liu Feng wondered, "Father, where are you going?"

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Of course I went to find Mr. Jushou. Mr. Jushou's talents are amazing. If you get his help, it is no less than a million soldiers. How can you retreat because of a little setback. I want to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu to save the people. Emperor Gaozu regrets Years of consecutive defeats, and when he was at his worst, he used to live on insects in Bashu, but in the end, he relied on the spirit of never being defeated and perseverance to come out of failures, and finally defeated Xiang Yu, who was ten times as good as himself, and achieved Dominate the world. We don’t expect great talents from our ancestors, but this spirit of perseverance must be remembered in our hearts.”

Liu Bei seemed to be preaching to Liu Feng, but also wanted to cheer himself up. In short, if he didn't ask for the loyalty of Jushou this time, he would not give up so easily.

Liu Feng smiled and said: "Father, this is Mr. Jushou's residence, don't you remember? Two days ago, Mr. Jushou was moved by the sincerity of his foster father and wanted to see you. But you passed out as soon as you lifted your foot. "

At this time, Liu Bei remembered the details of that day. He was physically and mentally exhausted because of standing for a long time.Later, as soon as I got the news that Mr. Jushou agreed, I was so happy that I just felt that my legs were heavy, and my body fell down involuntarily as soon as I took a step, and I didn't know anything after that.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei became even more excited, and said, "Where is Mr. Jushou now? Take me to see him."

"Don't be in a hurry, my father is taking a lunch break, and I'm still making plans after finishing my meal." Liu Bei's behavior failed to move Jushou, but the young and vigorous Juhu was moved by Liu Bei's behavior and was very fond of him. polite.

Liu Bei hastily finished his meal and went to wait for Jushou.

After some hardships, Liu Bei finally met Jushou, a famous scholar in Hebei.

At this moment, Jushou was gray-haired and thin-faced. He looked half a hundred years old, as if he had reached his twilight years, and it was very different from the original high spirits when we met.

Liu Bei was startled, "Why is Mr. so thin?"

Jushou didn't reply, just looked at Liu Bei, with anger, admiration, and a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Juhu said sadly: "Although my father left sadly, I miss Yuan Shao all the time. He can repent and rehabilitate, and recruit him out of the mountain. But Yuan Shao failed again and again, and lost his opportunities again and again, and he still failed to repent and recruit my father out of the mountain. Although my father At home, but the situation in the world is all in his eyes. After Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, his father worked hard to find ten strategies for him. Yuan Shao's letter, these ten strategies can appear on his desk. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao didn't know how to repent, and insisted on going his own way. The ten strategies were completely useless when the opportunity passed. In a rage, my father burned all the strategies. I thought he would give up on Yuan Shao, but he still worked hard to come up with different strategies according to different situations, and in the end he burned them all in his rage. Repeatedly, even if his father had a body of iron, he couldn't bear it. "

After hearing this, Liu Bei sighed: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you have such a good minister, but you don't know how to cherish it, you...you..." He felt extremely bitter, if a minister treated him like this, even if he died immediately, he would have no regrets , But some people just don't know how to cherish.

At this moment, Jushou glared at Liu Bei angrily, and shouted: "Who said that my lord doesn't know how to cherish, he...he just didn't understand it. As long as he is given a little more time, he will definitely be able to repent and start a new life, start from the beginning, and build an immortal world." Hegemony. You and other traitors murdered his master behind his back, causing him to lose his fighting chance. He failed to defeat Sun Can, but fell into the current situation. The Yuan family has fallen into such a state, and the culprit is you, Liu Bei...it is you... ..."

Liu Bei argued, "Yuan Shao himself was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't listen to good advice. In the end, he was defeated by Sun Can. What do I do?"

Jushou stared at the boss with both eyes, as if he wanted to eat people, his excited expression seemed like a lunatic with leprosy, he roared: "You think I don't know, you have never been kind to my lord since the beginning You make friends with people in the army everywhere, in order to understand all the movements and intelligence of our army. You encourage me to attack Cao Cao and Sun Can, just to make my master poor and depose the military, so that you can find a place in the rear of our army The stronghold for development. The reason why Gongsundu invaded Youzhou at this critical time was also the result of your secret lobbying. Later, in order to gain the name of righteousness, you did not hesitate to use bitter tricks to blame my lord and push my lord away. Into the crime of inhumanity and injustice. You think that what you do is unknown to the gods and ghosts. I know all of this... If the lord is willing to listen to me, I only need to use a few tricks to make you feel free. Eat the fruit. But... wow..."

Ju Shou burst into tears when he said this, and said intermittently: "My lord, why don't you listen to my good words, why don't you listen to the loyal ministers..."

Jushou cried and yelled again, and even Liu Bei was moved by his loyalty.

He strode forward and grabbed Jushou's lapel, and said sharply: "You are right, almost everything you said is true. But whoever has achieved great things has never compromised, and who has not experienced many hardships. King Wen of Zhou, who was The Yin Shou, insulted in every possible way; Wu Wang Ji Fa, pretending to be a fool; Gao Zu Liu Bang compromised and did not respect morality, but in the end they were not a generation of famous kings, sages.

The big man was brought down by my ancestors, and I, Liu Bei, will never allow it to be trampled on. The Liu family must not be destroyed by our generation.In order to preserve it, I don't care about the means, the tricks.

Liu Bei deeply admires Mr. Lu Wang for his wisdom.But Yuan Shao has no eyes on the people, and he is definitely not a wise master. Now he expropriates violently, plunders and exploits without limit, the blood and sweat of the people, and exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes can be seen everywhere. His heart can be seen.

If such a person wins the world, he will only cause even greater wars like Qin Shihuang. "

Liu Bei let go of his hand, and said politely: "At this moment, Bei dare not hope that you will work, but I would like to advise you again, don't associate with traitors. Liu Bei is dedicated to revitalizing the Han Dynasty, even if he dies, he will have no regrets, but If Mister still wants to serve Yuan Shao, he advises you to stop thinking about it. Otherwise, Mister will be a sinner forever if disaster happens in the future."

Jushou had been angrily reprimanded by Liu Bei, and he was a little sober. At this moment, what he said made Jushou furious. The so-called authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. In Jushou's eyes, Yuan Shao is not a rotten wood that cannot be carved. As long as he is willing to reform , will definitely become a rare enlightened master in the world, so he has been waiting for this day.

But Liu Bei said so badly about Yuan Shao, he was naturally dissatisfied, and said: "My lord is after the 'fourth generation and three princes', with a prominent family, how could he be a traitor?"

"Hmph! 'Four Generations and Three Dukes'..." Liu Bei took out a letter from his arms with a sneer, threw it in front of Jushou, and said, "Let's see what this is?"

Ju Shou looked at the letter that Liu Bei took out. The letter had a yellow background and a white border, and it was one of the special letters Yuan Shaojun used to deliver confidential letterheads.

He glanced at Liu Bei, opened the letterhead, and read it.The more he looked at it, the more sweat beaded on his head, and the more he looked at it, his body trembled involuntarily.With a look of disbelief on his face, he said in dismay: "This is impossible, this is impossible... My lord, is he willing to form an alliance with a foreign race, rather than admit his mistake, and use the strategy I taught..."

Liu Bei looked at Jushou regretfully, the letter was captured by Guan Yu from Yuan Shao's spies inadvertently.There was nothing else in the letter, it was just to let Karasuma enter the seclusion and help him hold Gongsundu so that he could defeat himself and Gongsundu in one fell swoop, and divide Liaodong equally after the matter was completed.

This Liaodong is not a treasure land, but it is extremely important. It can be said that it is the gateway to the northern Han soil.If Karasuma occupies Liaodong, then the Great Wall left by Qin Shihuang will be useless. If the other party wants to rob the Han soil, he will go to the Han soil to plunder, and it will definitely cause great harm to the people of the Han people.

Nearly a thousand years ago, the dog army broke through Gaojing and killed King You of Zhou. It is likely to happen again, so Yuan Shao is a sinner through the ages, and Jushou himself is not?
A wise man walks out of the fog, and when he breaks, he breaks.

Jushou closed his eyes, his heart was completely dead, he laughed loudly and said: "Hu'er, bring food for father, I want to have a good meal."

Juhu looked at Jushou in bewilderment, thinking that he was losing his mind again.

Ju Shou smiled and said: "Being a father, I was concerned about Yuan Shao before, so I was naturally worried about his future, and couldn't sleep at night. Now, my heart is dead, and Yuan Shao's life and death are up to me. Why bother to hurt himself for his future, Besides, Yuan Shao is not the only master of enlightenment in the world."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Bei and made a wise decision.
