Cao Cao looked disdainful and said, "Liu Biao, you made a mistake. What is a running dog? What is an eagle dog?"
Liu Biao said: "You are just a lackey and a hawk."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Stooges and hawks are just your derogatory words. You lost to His Majesty, no, you didn't lose to His Majesty, you just gave in without fighting. Your Majesty has not even arrived in Xiangyang, and you have been defeated." The people below are encouraging surrender.”
brush!
Liu's expression changed slightly.
Cao Cao's words are true. When Nanyang was lost, Liu Biao's army was also defeated, and both Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were attracted by Lu Xuan. Everyone became Lu Xuan's people. Liu Biao had no resistance and was unable to resist.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "But, my king's situation is different. Unlike you, Liu Biao, who is a weak and incompetent waste, I compete with your majesty openly. Although I have been defeated by your majesty many times, I am proud of my defeat."
"There is no shame in losing to the strong."
"Even if I am defeated, even if I submit to His Majesty, I am not groveling as you say. Your Majesty treats me with respect and courtesy, and at the same time promises to take over the Kangaroo Kingdom outside and use it as the fiefdom of my Cao family."
"Besides this, I am the only prince in the Ming Dynasty, and I am still the King of Qin."
"Do you, Liu Biao, have all this?"
Cao Cao sneered twice and said disdainfully: "In the future, if we win the Kangaroo Kingdom, I will still be the master of the country, and the Cao family will still be able to pass on the inheritance. In order to survive, you, Liu Biao, are flattering on the surface and scheming behind the scenes. What do you have? You There is nothing, you are the real eagle and dog lackey, and my behavior is completely different from yours."
Liu Biao's cheeks twitched.
Cao Cao surrendered and was still the king of Qin. This was unbalanced in Liu Biao's heart. Why was Cao Cao still the king?
He is a member of the Han clan and of royal blood, but he has nothing.
What surprised Liu Biao the most was that Lu Xuan actually promised Cao Cao that he would give a country to Cao Cao, which made Liu Biao red-eyed and full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Liu Biao was unwilling and said loudly: "Cao Cao, don't be too proud. Do you think Lu Xuan is so kind? The so-called Kangaroo Kingdom is just a small country, a small place."
Cao Cao once again mocked: "So, you, Liu Biao, are a frog in the well, and you judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Liu Biao said: "No matter how you argue, have I told the truth? This is a small corner of the Kangaroo Kingdom, but you are so happy with it. Cao Cao, you are really disappointing. Fortunately, you are the hero of the world."
Cao Cao said: "You are so overwhelmed by hatred that you don't understand anything. The Kangaroo Kingdom is vast, and its territory is similar to that of the Han Dynasty in the past, and it is only smaller than the Ming Dynasty today."
"The only shortcoming is that the place still needs education. But a place like this just has the opportunity to govern, and only then can I, Cao Cao, have the opportunity to show his grand ambitions. Liu Biao, you are just a frog in the well, just a fly."
Cao Cao said: "You have narrow vision, don't treat everyone as a frog in the well."
"me……"
Liu Biao was so angry that he felt depressed.
Cao Cao's words left him speechless. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so partial to Cao Cao.
So unfair.
Liu Biao said that he could not defeat Cao Cao, so he turned to Lu Xuan with fierce eyes and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, you were once a minister of the Han Dynasty and a minister of the Han Dynasty. Now, you have usurped the Han Dynasty and established itself, and heaven and earth are angry."
"Even if you are lucky enough to succeed and establish the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not last long. Back then, you saw me acting in a flattering manner. Now, if you are complacent, you will definitely not last long."
Lu Xuan looked at the hysterical Liu Biao and sighed: "Liu Biao, you are so pitiful."
"I'm not pitiful!"
Liu Biao's eyes were red and full of anger, and he retorted loudly.
Lu Xuan said: "Because you are not living your life as you wish, or in other words, you are unwilling to delegate power and cannot accept your situation. Even the most basic common sense can be denied. It is really disappointing."
"I never relied on the support of the Han Dynasty to conquer the world. I was attacked by Yuan Shu, did the imperial court have any help at all?"
"No!"
"I am based in Yangzhou and want to seize the entire Yangzhou. Is there any help from the imperial court?"
"nor!"
"I have done everything by myself step by step. How can I say that we usurped the Han Dynasty? If I was usurping the Han Dynasty, I would not have founded the country by myself. I wanted to make Liu Xie the Zen throne and then ascend the throne. Everything I did was done by myself with one sword and one gun. of."
Lu Xuan sighed: "It's a pity that you don't understand this. Or maybe you do, but you think everything is unfair and don't want to live a stable life, so you make waves."
Liu Biao was exposed to all disguises and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, even if this is the case, so what? Everything is just a matter of success and failure."
"Yes, it's just the winner and the loser."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "You were defeated and were unwilling to accept the reality. Therefore, you wanted to plot to develop your strength. Unfortunately, you were full of ambition but not strong enough. You had many ideas but not enough resourcefulness. You were completely kept in the dark by Lu Meng. "
When Liu Biao heard this, his face turned red with anger and his eyes were bloodshot.
Breathing became more and more rapid.
He was manipulated by Lu Meng, plotted by Lu Meng, and betrayed by his own nephew. This was Liu Biao's greatest shame.
Liu Biao became angry and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, if you want to kill, kill, if you want to chop, chop. I, Liu Biao, will risk my life today. Even if you kill me, I have to say that you, Lu Xuan, will not last long." .”
Lu Xuan stood up and walked to Liu Biao, looking at Liu Biao's disheveled hair, which was already full of silver. In particular, Liu Biao has aged rapidly in the past two days, and his face has become more wrinkled, making him look even older.
Lu Xuan looked at it and said, "Liu Biao, are you so sure that I want to kill you?"
Liu Biao asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Xuan replied: "I won't kill you, but I will spare your life. I want you to see that the Ming Dynasty's territory will become bigger and bigger. The lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty will get better and better."
"All the people now have enough food and clothing. In the future, they will all study and eat meat every day."
"You said that the Ming Dynasty would not last long, so I kept you here to witness this scene. Liu Biao, in memory of your kindness in recommending me back then, I will not kill you, so that you can see for yourself how stupid your mistakes are."
"you you……"
Liu Biao was not happy at all when he heard Lu Xuan's words.
th.
This time, he was plotted by Lu Meng and fell into Lu Xuan's hands. Liu Biao was extremely disappointed. When he was humiliated by Cao Cao, Liu Biao felt even more depressed, and he felt as if his whole body was in despair.
Now, Lu Xuan won’t kill him.
But not killing him would be the greatest humiliation to him.
Lu Xuan did not want to kill him, but to let him witness the development of Ming Dynasty so as to verify his stupidity and superficiality.
This is what kills the heart.
The anger in Liu Biao's heart went straight to his hair, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Xuan. He saw Lu Xuan turn around and return to the seat, and ordered: "Come here, escort Liu Biao down and detain him in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and let him watch the little changes in Xiangyang."
Liu Biao said angrily: "Lu Xuan, you..."
puff! !
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Liu Biao's mouth.
puff! puff!
He vomited blood again and again, his body instantly tensed up, his eyes protruded, and his expression was ferocious. His body tensed up for a moment, and the next moment, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
Lu Xuan noticed that Liu Biao had vomited blood and collapsed. As soon as he waved his hand, soldiers came forward to investigate. The soldier put his hand between Liu Biao's nose and found that Liu Biao was breathless. He quickly tried his pulse again, but there was still no pulse at all.
The soldier reported: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao is dead."
Lu Xuan was also a little surprised.
Liu Biao couldn't bear the storm, Cao Cao said something, Lu Xuan said something again, and Lu Xuan didn't kill Liu Biao, but Liu Biao himself became angry to death.
Lu Xuan looked at the dead Liu Biao with some emotion in his heart.
Liu Biao is dead.
There is one less member of the Han Dynasty.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Lu Meng!"
"exist!"
Lu Meng bowed and answered.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Liu Biao's body will be cleaned and preserved in an ice cellar. In addition, we will arrange for people to rush back to Nanjing 800 miles away and notify Liu Qi to attend the funeral and bury Liu Biao."
Lu Meng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao's actions this time are audacious. If you don't kill him, he will be angry to death. However, now he still treats Liu Biao kindly and notifies Liu Qi to come to the funeral. Is it appropriate?" "
Lu Xuan said seriously: "The deceased is the most important, there is nothing appropriate or inappropriate. Besides, everything in Jingzhou is already under your control, and it has not caused any disturbance, so there is no need to worry about anything. When Liu Qi comes, you will be responsible The reception must be well arranged and cannot be neglected.”
"I obey!"
Lu Meng nodded in reply.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and Lu Meng personally arranged for soldiers to take Liu Biao's body down to clean it.
In the hall, it recovered again.
Lu Xuan looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have worried too much about the matter in Jingzhou. Lu Meng has handled it very well. The Jingzhou army has completely banned business and banned it. There is nothing wrong now, so let's have a drink."
"Gentlemen, please!"
Lu Xuan picked up the wine bottle in front of him and spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and other civil and military officials all raised their cups to toast.
The banquet continued and the atmosphere was very good.
After the banquet, Lu Meng arranged for someone to take Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others away to rest. When Lu Meng was about to send Lu Xuan off to rest, Lu Xuan called him to the study to discuss matters.
Lu Xuan sat casually, and Lu Yu sat next to him meticulously.
Lu Meng sat down below very seriously.
Lu Xuan said: "Ziming, you have been the governor of Jingzhou for the past two years and your governance has been very good. What problems do you think there are in Jingzhou now?"
This is a private conversation.
Lu Xuan also called Lu Meng by his cousin to show his closeness.
Lu Meng looked excited and said sternly: "Your Majesty has given you the reward. Although my administration of Jingzhou is generally good, there are actually many problems. The most typical problem is that there are many wealthy families in Jingzhou, so the resistance to governance is relatively high."
"In addition, Changsha County and Wuling County are relatively remote, with many mountains, and governance is relatively difficult. As for Jiangxia County and Nanyang County, they have developed well because of their good geographical location."
"Lingling County and Guiyang County in the south are even more remote."
"The biggest problem in the current governance of Jingzhou is that Jingzhou needs more scholars to govern. Only by building schools, educating more scholars, and cultivating more scholars can we achieve great governance in Jingzhou."
"Originally, I was planning to report to Your Majesty after His Majesty returned to the court. Now that Your Majesty is here, I happened to mention this matter."
"I hope that in the name of the Jingzhou government, schools will be built all over Jingzhou to educate scholars. It cannot just be that the Five Classics Hall is in the imperial capital, but official schools should be established in every state and region across the country."
"Only in this way can we cultivate more scholars and enrich the place. With more people, local governance will be easier. Please enlighten me."
Lu Meng bowed respectfully.
After he became the governor, he increasingly felt that there was not enough talent, so he wanted to cultivate talents.
