Three Kingdoms

Birth, old age, illness and death are the norm. Even if you have great ability, this matter cannot be completely avoided by avoiding it. But I never thought that this thing would happen so suddenly.

"Ah?!" Liu Bei suddenly stood up, stared at Jian Yong and said, "...I didn't know what happened?"

"A certain person stayed at a post station outside the city yesterday evening and got the news..." Jian Yong said slowly.

Liu Bei said anxiously: "Then why didn't you come to repay me yesterday?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bei realized that Jian Yong had just returned. Besides, the city gates in the county town were generally closed at night. Even if Jian Yong got the news, there was no way to send him into the city if it was not an emergency military situation. .

"Sorry... Xianhe, Bei lost his temper..." Liu Bei cupped his hands and said to Jian Yong.

Jian Yong said: "It was the same when I first heard about this matter... Xuande, you should have made plans now..."

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened and he nodded, but remained silent.

What should I do now?

Liu Bei had suddenly lost his joyful mood just now. Even the birds chirping on the treetops outside the lobby seemed to make Liu Bei feel bored by the noise.

Tian Guorang and Tian Yu are the smartest and wisest people Liu Bei has met in this period of time. If it weren't for Tian Yu's help, Liu Bei would not have developed as far as he did today in the plains.

Now that he was just on the right track, Tian Yu actually got into such a thing.

Jian Yong took out a wooden slip from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Bei, and said with a straight face: "Xuan De, the talent of Guo Rang, is better than someone. If you don't worry about it, I'm afraid... there will be many obstacles... No If it is reported that his mother is seriously ill, we will not discuss it for the time being..."

What Jian Yong said was sincere and direct, without much concealment.

Although Tian Yu is younger than Liu Bei and Jian Yong, whether it is people's livelihood or government affairs, he is much better than Liu Bei and Jian Yong who became a monk halfway.

Such a talent can be said to be extremely scarce in Liu Bei at the moment. If it is because of this kind of thing, whether it is to go home to take care of him or to attend a funeral, it will definitely have a great impact on Liu Bei.

According to Jian Yong's intention, he wanted to conceal the message conveyed on the wooden slip. Anyway, these days, it is normal for letters to be lost after being passed around.

Liu Bei took the wooden slip and glanced at it briefly. It basically contained information that had been transmitted from Yuyang County, including some of Gongsun Zan's current trends. Of course, one of them was that Tian Yu's mother was seriously ill, so he specially Ask someone to send a message to Tian Yu...

The corners of Liu Bei's eyes trembled, then he closed his eyes, shook his head, and returned the wooden slip to Jian Yong, saying: "Bei also understands the meaning of Xianhe... When the country was in dire straits, he took care of himself. How can... so-and-so be held responsible? Alas... I'd like to trouble Xianhe to give this wooden tablet to the state..."

Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Jian Yong nodded, put away the wooden slip, and then left.

A few hours later, Tian Yu hurriedly walked in and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Guo Rang, come..." Although Liu Bei was prepared in his heart, when he actually saw Tian Yu coming, he still had a little bit of expectation, as if he knew it was the worst outcome, but still I hope I am the lucky one to be exempted.

"Your Majesty..." Tian Yu was silent for a while and said: "...In the current situation, I wonder how your Majesty is prepared?"

"Ah...ah?" Liu Bei was a little surprised, "Did the state commander say Pingyuan County?"

Tian Yu nodded, shook his head, then stretched out his hand and gestured outward, and said: "The plain is just a region... Yu means Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou..."

"This... please speak frankly..." Liu Bei quickly gave up on such a large-scale issue from north to south.

Tian Yu: "..."

After a moment of silence, Tian Yu said: "In the battle over Jizhou, General Gongsun has been living in Liaodong for a long time and has the strength of his troops. However, Yuan Chaiqi has gathered many people in Hebei and has sufficient money and food. It may be difficult for the two to fight quickly, so there is no chance of a decisive victory. Just between Qing and Yan..."

Liu Bei listened, but he seemed to understand.

Of course it's not that Liu Bei is stupid, it's just that Liu Bei's quick wit is average. But if you give Liu Bei more time to think about it slowly, I believe Liu Bei will naturally understand what Tian Yu said.

Tian Yu did not explain too much to Liu Bei. Instead, as if he wanted to pour all his thoughts on Liu Bei, he continued: "... Now the land of the envoy is Jizhou in the north. Yuan Cheqi must concentrate on In response to General Gongsun, he has no time to look south. Although it is a good opportunity, in the north of the plain, there are many large families in Qinghe. If you send troops to the north, it will be harmful but useless, so it is not suitable to move arbitrarily..."

"To the west of the plain are Jibei and Dongjun. Bao Yuncheng, the Prime Minister of Jibei, is a veteran general on the battlefield, and Cao Mengde of Dongjun is brave and good at fighting. He is not an easy person, nor can he be taken lightly..."

"In the south of the plain, the Taishan thieves have no fighting power, but their personnel are complex and numerous. If they do not benefit from it, they will be harmed. Therefore, they cannot start a war unless it is necessary..."

"For the current plan, we should make more friendships with Qinghe, Jibei, and Dongjun without using weapons and weapons, avoid the heavy ones and choose the light ones, and quickly move to Pingchang, Banxian, Leling and other places to calm the plains and nourish the spirit. Gather your strength and wait for the opportunity..."

After Tian Yu bala bala said a lot, he saw Liu Bei listening carefully and seemed to have gained a little, so he took a breath slowly.

In fact, Tian Yu was worried that Liu Bei would not be able to figure out the direction, and as a result, his troops would be consumed in the process of colliding with the surrounding hard-line forces. As a result, the foundation would not be stable. When the battle for Jizhou really came to a decisive moment, he would not be able to mobilize the troops to launch an attack. It would be quite embarrassing to assist or even protect yourself...

For Pingyuan and even Qingzhou, Liu Bei's army is still relatively small, so the best way now is to continue to devour smaller and weaker territories to strengthen itself, so that one day it can turn against the foreigners and become the main force. princes.

Tian Yu was silent for a while, then took out a piece of wooden tablet from his arms and placed it on Liu Bei's desk. He left the table and paid his respects: "I am honored to be honored by your great love and entrusted with a heavy responsibility... But now Jiaci is seriously ill, and Yu ...I am really in a mess, and the six gods have no master...I would like to resign from the envoy...I hope that the envoy will be kind..."

"This..." What was supposed to come came anyway. Liu Bei let out a long sigh and stepped forward to help Tian Yu up with his own hands. Thinking of the tacit and harmonious relationship between him and Tian Yu during this period, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and sad, holding back tears. I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"The sky is unfair... I wish I could achieve great things with you..."
