Besides, Liu Bei left Yuan Shao's military camp and dragged his tired body to Shouchun City.
Looking at the array of flags on the city wall and the constant coming and going of soldiers, Liu Bei's mind replayed the scene in Tancheng when he scolded Fang Qiu while Lu Yi was aside.
A feeling of sadness surged into my heart.
What have you been struggling with all these years?
No wonder Qianzhao left him.
No wonder Tian Yu left him.
No wonder Zhao Yun didn't want to follow him.
Even the second brother died because of him.
Thinking of the past scenes, Liu Bei felt despairing at this moment.
When Liu Bei appeared under the city, the soldiers discovered it.
A soldier rushed to the commander's tent and shouted to Lu Yi, who was listening to the grain transportation officer Wei Jing's report on the grain situation: "Report, Liu Bei is coming from outside the city!"
Wei Jing stopped talking and looked at the soldier suspiciously.
Liu Bei?
What is Liu Bei doing here?
Lu Yi was also quite confused.
Looking at Wei Jing, Lu Yi stood up and said, "Come here first, I'll go take a look and talk about it when I get back."
Wei Jing hummed.
Lu Yi quickly walked out of the commander's tent and rushed to the city wall.
Sure enough, he saw Liu Bei.
Liu Bei did not take anyone else with him.
But a man, wearing obscene clothes and trousers, standing at the foot of the city with a lonely expression.
Countless archers on the city wall were already aiming at him, as if they were ready to take action at any moment and shoot him into a hedgehog.
Liu Bei is not afraid either.
Chen Gong, who was taking turns with Tai Shici, also rushed over at this time and stopped next to Lu Yi.
Looking down at Liu Bei below the city, Chen Gong said: "Although we have to be careful of fraud, looking at him like this, there seems to be something unspeakable."
Chen Gong didn't like Liu Bei.
On the contrary, he was a little disgusted.
In the early years, the two of them served together under Lu Bu's banner in Xuzhou. Liu Bei always acted like a Han clan clan member, which made him very uncomfortable.
Later, after Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, he was even more disdainful.
He couldn't accept that he claimed to be a member of the royal family but chose to join a traitor like Cao Cao.
However, now he doesn't feel anything.
First, the emperor is dead and the great Han Dynasty is dead.
Secondly, he had heard about Liu Bei's situation a long time ago.
After years of wandering around, although he joined Yuan Shao, he was not reused in Hebei.
On the contrary, they are still marginalized everywhere.
Actually, think about it.
Now Hebei's interests have been divided: one is the Jizhou faction and the other is the Yuzhou faction.
Liu Bei is not one of the two factions, nor is he a real aristocratic family. How can those people in Hebei accept him?
Chen Gong glanced at Lu Yi beside him.
In this regard, it's not like Jiangdong.
There is a Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong.
He deliberately avoided this, so he implemented the imperial examination in Wu County.
This was also the reason why I was always glad that I chose to follow him.
Or maybe he personally brought the Lu family from a difficult and dangerous situation to its current height, so he can understand the difficulty of others.
This is something that Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth generation and third generation and has always stood in a noble position, can never compare to.
Lu Yi nodded after hearing what Chen Gong said.
After overlooking Liu Bei for a while, Lu Yi saw that he was still standing dumbfounded, and that there was no abnormality in the direction of Yuan Shao's military camp. Lu Yi signaled the archers on the wall to withdraw from the attacking formation.
And he climbed down the city wall alone, asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and walked out.
When Liu Bei heard the sound of the city gate opening, he slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the city gate.
Lu Yi was seen walking out alone and walking towards him.
Lu Yi stopped in front of Liu Bei.
The two looked at each other.
Lu Yi asked: "What's wrong, is this?"
Liu Bei forced out a miserable smile and opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something.
But he couldn't speak.
A sense of bitterness and shame made him feel inferior.
Seeing Liu Bei like this, Lu Yi didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
But it was Ma Liang who galloped over from the city on a war horse, stopped beside Lu Yi, glanced at Liu Bei, and whispered to Lu Yi in a low voice: "Jia Gong said that Liu Bei must have fallen into a divorce plan and was driven out by Yuan Shao. "
Lu Yi suddenly realized.
I see!
Before, he asked Jia Xu about the strategy to deal with Yuan Shao's army. Jia Xu said that he would use a divorce strategy and start with Liu Bei and Xu You.
After that, he let Jia Xu take full responsibility without asking him for instructions.
Looking at Liu Bei, Lu Yi said: "If you have nowhere to go, then come in with me!"
"If nothing else, at least I still have an official position."
"Also, your daughter, your wife and concubines are still in Wu County, living together in my Lu family."
"When you were defeated by Lu Bu in Xiaopei, you fled to Xudu and defected to Cao Cao. They followed Lu and later followed me to Wu County."
"Everything is going well."
"Your daughter is now very graceful and graceful."
"However, maybe you often abandoned him and ignored your family for your ambition. Even when her grandmother died, you did not go back, but chose to support Kong Rong who was under siege by the Yellow Turban at that time. She hated you very much. .”
"I don't know what you think."
"I only know that my family, my country, my country, my world."
"Why does family come first? That's because the world is made up of countries, and countries are made up of small families."
"Without a small family, even if we gain the world, what's the point?"
"Let's think of a way to make up for it!"
After Liu Bei heard what Lu Yi said, he lowered his head and tears poured out like a flood that broke a bank.
Yes.
For ambition.
In order to become the second Guangwu Emperor.
How many things have you given up over the years?
Today, the world, the world has not got it.
Brothers, brothers died in battle.
Wife, son and daughter, wife, son and daughter are homeless.
Even the old mother did not fulfill her responsibilities as a supporter of her children.
In his sleep over the years, he often dreamed of his old mother and his late wife standing at the door of his hometown, looking at him with hatred.
That look made him frightened and guilty.
These dreams are repeated over and over again.
When he was in charge of Xuzhou, he didn't know that his daughter Liu Yu wanted to assassinate him more than once.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reminded him many times.
But now, when these things were put together, Liu Bei immediately covered his face with his hands and burst into tears, crying until he was hoarse.
these years.
What have you done?
Lu Yi, who was about to take Liu Bei into the city, heard the crying and let out a long sigh.
Turning around and looking at Liu Bei not far away, Lu Yi felt heavy in his heart.
He still sympathizes with Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei's unsympathetic behavior towards his family was unacceptable to him.
But, in this era.
in this world.
If a person has great ambitions, he has to give up everything.
In this world, he has not realized his ambition.
But in the original history, he succeeded and became the last glory of the Han Dynasty, and was talked about by countless people in later generations.
Everyone holds him up as an inspirational example.
Who would care that he abandoned his wife and children several times?
This is probably what countless celebrities have been pursuing since ancient times.
Another example is Wu Qi.
In order to achieve a great cause, he can even kill his wife himself.
In history books, families, wives and children are rarely recorded in them.
How many broken families are covered up behind the glorious resumes of countless celebrities? How many wives are bitter towards their husbands? How many children have deep resentments against their fathers?
Liu Bei is just an example from ancient times.
Walking in front of Liu Bei, Lu Yi also squatted down, patted his shoulder and said: "The prodigal son can't exchange for gold, everything is still too late."
"Life is only a few decades long."
"If you try your best to pursue something but don't get it, it doesn't belong to you."
"It's too late to turn back in time."
"Compared to others, you at least have a chance to turn back, right?"
Liu Bei still cried for a long time before standing up and following Lu Yi into Shouchun City.
Lu Yi took him to his tent, put on his own clothes, and then asked: "What do you think now? Should you stay here first and make achievements together, or go to the Lu family in Wu County?"
"Although I can give you an official position, but it is too small, I guess you will not look down on it."
"For a bigger official position, if you have no merit at all, I will directly promote you to it, and others will be dissatisfied."
"Moreover, the dispute between you and your daughter, you two women, needs to be resolved slowly. I'm afraid you will have to be patient for a long time to come."
"If you do something wrong, you can only swallow the bitter pill and correct it slowly."
Liu Bei put on his clothes, looked at Lu Yi, forced out a lonely smile and said: "How can a person like me still make achievements?"
Lu Yi breathed out and said: "The ancients said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. You are not too old to move now, so why can't you make contributions?"
Liu Bei lowered his head and was silent for a long time before saying, "I want to go back and see them first, and then come back."
Lu Yi nodded and said, "That's fine."
Lu Yi took Liu Bei to find Wei Jing, and asked Liu Bei to follow Wei Jing. When he returned to Wu County to transport grain next time, he would go with him to the Lu family in Wu County to find Liu Yu and others.
