"what do I do?"
Liu Bei now has no idea.
I just felt that I was a little too arrogant some time ago, and now I have to accept the consequences of being too arrogant. I feel at a loss and even worry about whether I will be killed by Liu Biao.
Xu Shu agreed: "My lord can indeed go, just make preparations. First, let General Zhao and General Guan accompany you, and bring enough elites, one in the light and one in the dark. General Zhao will be in the dark and wait for the response outside the city. General Guan will For Ming’s sake, I will accompany my lord into the city.”
With this arrangement, if an accident does happen, Guan Yu's ability is enough to lead Liu Bei out, and with Zhao Yun outside to take care of him, he can be safe for the time being.
"After my lord enters the city, he must always be with General Guan. It is best not to leave him at all."
"Besides, I don't live in a posthouse or a hotel."
"Ask as much as possible and live in Liu Biao's mansion."
"Liu Jingzhou may not necessarily want to kill the lord, but the people under his command, especially Cai Mao, may not necessarily want to live in Liu Jingzhou's mansion to ensure safety."
Xu Shu also reminded that he still had a certain understanding of Cai Mao, and said: "You must be careful about this person. He may be the source of danger for the lord in Xiangyang, and he is also the biggest enemy."
Liu Bei listened and nodded solemnly to show that he understood.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to go to Xiangyang because it was too dangerous.
"in addition."
"Before my lord goes to Xiangyang, it is best to publicize your disadvantages in advance. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it can be stable."
"The disadvantage of the lord is that he is not strong enough, but he is questioned about his ambition. The lord can take advantage of this in advance and say that he has nothing. Where does the ambition come from? It is just to help the Han Dynasty."
"The people's hearts belong to the Han Dynasty, not to themselves."
"When I arrived in Xiangyang, I first confessed to Liu Jingzhou aggrievedly to show that I had no ambitions and stood at the highest level of righteousness, so that Liu Jingzhou would not dare to do anything to you."
Chen Gong added.
After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately nodded in agreement.
When it comes to occupying the peak of righteousness, no one is better than him. From the time he announced that he was the emperor's uncle, he has been standing at this height, and then he has gained benevolence and righteousness. It can be said that he is very easy to play.
"I understand how to do it."
After listening to their words, Liu Bei faced Zhao Yun and Guan Yu and said solemnly: "This trip to Xiangyang is impossible if I don't go. Whether I can come back alive depends on Yun Chang and Zilong."
Guan Yu patted his heart and said, "Don't worry, brother, as long as I'm here, there will definitely be no danger."
Zhao Yun said: "Me too."
Liu Bei thought for a while and then said: "Yide, you stay in Xinye. If there is any emergency, follow the arrangements of Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Yuan Zhi, do not disobey, and protect everything we have in Xinye."
"Brother, go ahead with peace of mind!"
Zhang Fei said loudly: "Leave Xinye to me. Whoever dares to cause trouble, I promise to poke seven or eight transparent holes in him!"
Liu Bei looked at himself, and finally said: "One more thing, I have too few elite guards around me. I won't be able to take many with me on this trip to Xiangyang. Can my uncle help me train while I'm away?" A group of elite personal guards, you will be the leader of my personal guards from now on, how about it?"
When Chen Dao heard that he was being used in such an important role, he bowed and said, "Please don't worry, my lord. When you come back from Xiangyang, I will definitely be able to bring out the personal guards."
"good!"
Liu Bei was relieved.
However, he always felt that this time he went to Xiangyang, he felt like he was about to die.
I hope I can come back safely and nothing happens.
——
Yecheng.
After Yuan Shao came back, not only was he depressed, but after he vomited a mouthful of blood that day, his health was getting worse day by day. Now, he can basically just lie on the bed, unable to do anything.
At this time, his face was pale, his body was thin, and he was often weak when speaking.
This made the people around him anxious.
Of course, in addition to those who are anxious, there are also people who are secretly happy, such as Yuan Shang's mother Liu. She knows that Yuan Shang is liked by Yuan Shao the most, and as long as Yuan Shao's people are gone, Yuan Shang can take advantage of the situation.
As for Yuan Tan, she believed that he was not qualified to compete with Yuan Shang.
At that time, you can find any reason to take Yuan Tan to a remote place and even take Qingzhou back to see what else he can do.
"Two gentlemen, the matter of showing your wealth depends entirely on you."
Privately, Mrs. Liu found Feng Ji and Shen Pei. Of course, she did this to secure a future for her son.
As long as they are willing to speak, coupled with Yuan Shao's liking for Yuan Shang, the position of heir will definitely be secure.
"Ma'am, please don't worry."
Shen Pei assured: "As long as we give the Lord some persuasion, there is no problem for the Third Young Master to take over."
"Thank you both gentlemen."
Mr. Liu said gratefully: "Xianfu will definitely not forget you two in the future."
Feng Ji smiled and said, "Madam, you're welcome."
"lady."
At this time, a little maid came over and said anxiously: "My Lord... he's vomiting blood again!"
Hearing this, both Fengji and Shenpei were shocked.
Mrs. Liu also had a shocked expression on her face, but secretly she was secretly happy. She vomited blood again. Doesn't it mean that Yuan Shao is really about to die, and it will be easier for Yuan Shang to ascend to the throne. She said anxiously: "Two gentlemen, I'm sorry. .”
With that said, she hurried back to the room.
"Husband, are you feeling better?"
Mrs. Liu immediately transformed into a good wife and mother, caressing Yuan Shao's back.
Yuan Shao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed: "I think that's about it. My only regret is that I can't defeat Cao Ah Man with my own hands. I was forced to this extent by Cao Ah Man, alas!"
Gao Gan, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Xi returned to their respective places, preparing to recruit more troops for him, gather food and fodder, and fight against Cao Cao again, but he was worried that he would not be able to wait until that time.
Their losses were so great that it would be very difficult to concentrate their troops and food supplies again, and it would be difficult to do so in a short period of time.
"How...is Cao Ah Man doing now?"
Yuan Shao said weakly.
How did Mrs. Liu know these things? She didn't know how to answer Yuan Shao's questions. Fortunately, Feng Ji and the others came in after a while.
"My lord, the Third Young Master personally went out to fight and blocked Cao Cao in Liyang. Although Cao Cao captured Liyang, he could not advance any further."
Feng Ji first said: "Cao Cao is currently unable to advance, and Yecheng is not in danger for the time being."
"It's okay, Xianfu did a great job!"
Yuan Shao felt relieved, lay back on the couch, and said: "Cao Ah Man, I will let him know sooner or later what regret means. You must help Xianfu and help me destroy Cao."
The judge solemnly said: "We are here to say goodbye to the lord, and we are going to assist the third young master outside Liyang City. My lord, the third young master's ability is far superior to other young masters, and his heroic spirit is very similar to the lord."
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu was secretly happy.
But as a mother, it's hard for her to say too much about how good her son is, so she still needs to keep a low profile.
"That's good, you go down!"
Yuan Shao coughed twice and said weakly: "I have to rest for a while, and I don't have the energy to talk too much with you."
"yes!"
Feng Ji and the other two bowed to each other and left the mansion.
When they arrived outside, they looked at each other and then shook their heads slightly, thinking that Yuan Shao was really dying and would definitely not be able to hold on for long.
