The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 48
After Zhang Wu heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, he was not surprised at all, because as a cross-traveling party, he already knew the ending, and he also knew that once Yuan Shao died, his sons would not be far from death.

What made Zhang Wu a little bit agitated was why brothers would fight to the death for power and status, and in the end it was easier for outsiders.Far away are the three brothers Yuan Shang, and close by are Liu Qi and Liu Cong.

Zhang Wu could not intervene in the war in the north, but the urgency of the situation made Zhang Wu feel that he should speed up the process and take control of Jingzhou as soon as possible to cope with Cao Cao's southward march.

On this day, Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to ask to see Liu Biao.

Liu Biao summoned Liu Bei at the State Shepherd's Mansion and asked, "What's the matter here, brother?"

Liu Bei said: "I heard that Yuan Shao is dead, and his youngest son Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne. Cao Cao's army is marching northward, and he will not stop. Xuchang is empty at this time. If my brother takes the opportunity to attack Xuchang with the people of Jingzhou, a big event will be accomplished!"

How can Liu Biao have the ambition and energy to fight Cao Cao, not to mention whether he can fight to Xuchang, even if he captures Xuchang smoothly all the way, can he hold it?Cao Cao has no choice but to find me desperately, who can resist at that time, even Yuan Shao was killed by Cao Cao, I can still toss this old bone for a few years!
So Liu Biao said: "My dear brother, I am content with occupying the nine counties of Jingzhou now. I don't have any other ideas. Let's just defend Jingzhou and live our lives!"

Liu Bei was speechless, this Jingzhou belonged to Liu Biao, and he had no choice but to send troops if he didn't want to.

Seeing that Liu Bei was a little unhappy, Liu Biao said, "Brother, it's rare for you to come and drink with me. Qi'er happened to send me some good wine produced in Jiangxia, which is fragrant and strong. Let's try it together. "

The two went to the back hall to drink, and Mrs. Cai ordered her servants to prepare wine and food.

When the wine was half drunk, Liu Biao sighed suddenly after taking a sip of wine.

Liu Bei asked, "Why is your brother sighing so much? What's bothering you? If there is something you can do to help your brother, even if he dies, he will not refuse."

Liu Biao said: "I have something on my mind, it's hard to talk about it. Alas! Anyway, it's just you and me, brothers, and there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you about it."

Liu Biao took another sip of his wine and said, "My dear brother, you also know that I have two sons. Ziqi, the eldest son of my ex-wife Chen, is a virtuous and filial man, but a little cowardly. I have been exercising recently in Jiangxia. It seems that he has grown a lot. The youngest son Cong, born to his second wife, Cai, is quite smart. If I want to abolish the elder and establish the younger, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the etiquette; Determined."

Liu Bei also drank too much and didn't realize the seriousness of this problem. Seeing that Liu Biao was in trouble, he, the younger brother, couldn't help but want to help solve it, so he said: "Since ancient times, abolishing the elders and establishing the younger is the way to create chaos. Yeah. If you are worried about the power of the Cai family, and fear that trouble will happen in the future, you can slowly reduce their power, and you must not have children because of doting!"

At this stage, Liu Biao actually loves his youngest son more in his heart, not to mention that this is a common problem among most parents. At the same time, Liu Biao's second wife Cai is indeed young and beautiful, and is deeply loved by Liu Biao.So, after listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Biao fell silent.

Liu Bei felt happy for a moment, but he didn't expect that his words would be heard by Mrs. Cai who was hiding behind the screen.

It turned out that Mrs. Cai had been hostile to Liu Bei ever since she heard what her brother Cai Mao said. Every time she saw Liu Biao talking to Liu Bei, she would definitely find an opportunity to eavesdrop.This time when I heard that Liu Bei actually advised Liu Biao to appoint Liu Qi as his successor and reduce the power of the Cai family, I immediately hated Liu Bei to the core.

After all, Liu Bei is not a fool. After saying those words, he suddenly realized that he was a bit talkative.After all, I am a guest, and living in Jingzhou, it is definitely not a good thing to be involved in the dispute of entering the throne, and Liu Biao is silent after listening to his words, it must be that he does not approve of what he said.

So Liu Bei used the excuse of going to the bathroom to let himself go out sober and relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.

After Liu Bei went to the bathroom to relieve his hand, he found that his body had grown fat again. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and then burst into tears.

The fat on the thighs is the fat on the thighs. Liu Bei had been fighting and riding horses for a long time, so the fat on his thighs had long since disappeared.Now after defecting to Jingzhou, I haven't fought for a long time, my life is more comfortable, and my thighs have grown flesh again.

Liu Biao was very surprised to see the tear stains on Liu Bei's face, so he asked Liu Bei what's wrong?Why are you still crying?
Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said, "Basically, I never got off the back of a horse before. The fat on my thighs has long since dissipated. Now that I haven't rode a horse to fight for a long time, I've grown fat again. Thinking of all the years I've been wasting The years are getting old, but they have made no achievements, so I can't help being a little sad!"

Liu Biao has relatives in his heart. He is older than Liu Bei. Although he occupies the nine counties of Jingzhou, he has no enterprising spirit.

"I heard that when my younger brother was in Xuchang, he once made wine with Cao Cao's green plums and talked about the heroes of the world. At that time, my younger brother listed the famous people in the world one by one, but Cao Cao didn't approve of them, but said: 'The only heroes in the world are the emperor and Cao Er. "With Cao Cao's power and ability, even if he dare not be ahead of the virtuous brother, why should the virtuous brother not be able to make contributions!"

This fellow Liu Bei lost his mind again, and after hearing Liu Biao's praise, he took advantage of the wine and replied in a blur: "If I have land and capital, those mediocre people in the world really don't look down on me."

Liu Biao stopped talking after hearing this. Who are you looking down on?Are you so awesome because you rely on my charity?

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he regretted it again. I'm so stupid. Isn't this mocking Liu Biao for being old and incompetent, occupying the latrine and not shitting?He knew that his sentence "Everyone here is rubbish" was too offensive, and he couldn't drink the wine anymore, so he went back to the hotel to sleep under the excuse that he was drunk.

But Liu Biao said that after hearing Liu Bei's words, although he didn't say anything, he was definitely unhappy.After Liu Bei left, Liu Biao went back to the inner house to find Mrs. Cai to relieve his depression.

Mrs. Cai took the opportunity to say: "Just now I happened to hear Liu Bei's words from behind the screen. He is too arrogant and despises your husband. It can be seen that this Liu Bei has long wanted to annex Jingzhou. He is really ambitious. If you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, you will certainly be in the future." Cause disaster!"

Although Liu Biao was unhappy, he never thought of getting rid of Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei was his brother from the same clan and the emperor's uncle. His reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world and his influence was very great. Of course, he could not rely on drunken words. Just kill him.

Mrs. Cai saw that Liu Biao refused to agree and fell asleep soon, so she summoned Cai Mao to discuss the matter.

When Cai Mao heard that Liu Bei not only persuaded Liu Biao to make Liu Qi his successor, but also had the ambition to annex Jingzhou, he couldn't help it.In Cai Mao's eyes, the entire Jingzhou has long been regarded as the private property of the Cai family.
