Chapter 86

"Blame me, blame me." Liu Bei's eyes were also red, and he patted the old man's hands lightly, while blaming himself: "It's all my fault. If I were still here and hadn't left, such a thing would never have happened."

"Then... Liu Shijun, there is no leader in Xuzhou now, can you come back and be our official?" The old man raised his head and asked, his eyes were full of hope.

Not only him, but other people who were wiping their tears also looked up at Liu Bei, with a strange brilliance in their eyes.

"This..." Liu Bei fell silent, holding his father's hand and saying nothing.

"Oh." The old man sighed heavily, and the others also lowered their heads in disappointment.

"Liu Shijun, we know that you look down on our poor country..."

"How can you say that?" Liu Bei interrupted, rather annoyed: "I regard this place as my home and everyone as my family. Everyone is missing the two years when I was a state shepherd. How do you know that I am Are you missing me too?

So, how can you not look down on this statement? "

Seeing Liu Bei's angry look, but the old man was a little happy, slapped his mouth lightly, and said hastily:

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I knew that Liu Shijun was so kind to us, how could he look down on us? I was wrong."

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to, it's just because...I'm an official of the great man now, and I have to obey His Majesty's arrangements. No matter how bad it is, I have to obey Cao Cao's arrangements. It's not just what I think." Liu Bei sighed.

Zhang Fei was a little unhappy at first and didn't understand why his elder brother was so polite to a few civilians. He curled his lips from time to time to express dissatisfaction, but now he stood up straight and listened carefully to what Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu did the same. He stood there once the tea was finished, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and wiped it over and over again. Now he also stopped his movements. Although his expression didn’t change much, his ears were pricked up, for fear of missing it. A little bit of the next conversation.

Seeing that everyone was still digesting what he just said, Liu Bei was not waiting for a response, and continued:
"We people often have no choice but to do whatever we want. We can only do things according to the instructions from above. Sometimes, we know that we shouldn't do that, but we have to obey orders, alas."

Everyone was still thinking about something, but no one answered. Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't say any more, and the surroundings fell into silence.

But fortunately, the old man broke the silence: "Then, Mr. Liu, what can I do to make you stay, that is, let Cao Gong agree to you as our official."

"I don't know." Liu Bei shook his head.

Seeing that the old man was a little disappointed, he quickly added: "But as far as I know, Mr. Cao is a person who loves the people, and he should be very concerned about what the people think."

"The idea of ​​democracy..." the old man murmured, and then his eyes lit up: "Aren't we the people? Let's go to him and ask him to keep you."

"Inappropriate." Liu Bei shook his head and refused:
"Even though Mr. Cao cares about this, he is also a strong person. He has his original plan. If his plan is overturned, he will definitely feel dissatisfied. At that time, he may even treat you..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant. It was nothing more than that Cao Cao would attack those who came to dissuade him.

"What the hell, that's all, I'm ashamed to call it 'Gong'." Someone said disdainfully, but was immediately refuted by Liu Bei:

"That can't be the case. After all, Mr. Cao is my superior. I want to obey him. How can you say that in front of me? Besides, Mr. Cao didn't do anything. It was Mr. Cao who killed Lu Bu and Luzhou Mu, whom everyone hates.

Mr. Cao also did good things for everyone. "

As soon as his words fell, someone answered immediately: "Do good deeds? If you want to really do good deeds, let Liu Shijun stay. This is a good deed, a great deed!"

Liu Bei couldn't accept these words, so he could only smile bitterly and say nothing.

The person who spoke just now was a little anxious. Seeing this, Cao Cao definitely couldn't let Liu Shijun stay, so he looked at the old man and said:
"Mr. Lin, you are well-informed. What should we do? How can we keep Liu Shijun here?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

The old man who was still in tears just now seemed to be a different person at the scene, stroking his beard and frowning in thought.

"Yes!" The old man slapped the table, ignoring the pain in his hand. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said:

"In the early years, when I wandered outside, I went to a small place, and the officials there were not very good. It seemed that a wrong judgment in a certain case caused dissatisfaction among the local people.

Those people didn't make any noise, just washed their bodies, put on clean clothes, lit incense, stood in front of the county government office, and then came up to a few old people holding documents in their hands and showed them to the official.

The official read it, turned the case over, and re-judged the case. "

When it came to the end, the old man made a final decision: "So, we need to find more people like this, and when Mr. Cao leaves the city, we will go forward and deliver the documents, asking him to keep Liu Shijun.

If you don't stay, you won't go, blocking the road! "

The old man waved his hand, quite chic.

Hearing this, Liu Bei was relieved in his heart.

He has already led these people to this point, and if they go on, they can only look at their own thoughts, to see if they can think of it with him, or whether they can go where they need to go.

Fortunately, the old man is quite well-informed and can come up with a solution similar to what he thought.

Otherwise, you have to rely on him to continue to guide, but if you continue like this, your purpose will become a little obvious.

And the old man's idea was better than what he thought, what about cleaning clothes and burning incense sounds good.

It's just the last point, blocking the road, he can't agree.

It was not that he was afraid of being angered and killed by Cao Cao, but that the promising things would be ruined because of this.

As for the people who blocked the road being killed... if they were killed, they would be killed, and they did not kill themselves, nor did they instigate them, and he did not come up with the way to block the roads.

As long as there is no relationship with him, what if too many people die?
It's good to let him achieve his goal.

Moreover, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops are really just a display.

"It's not okay to block the road. It's not good to block the road. It's easy to anger Cao Gong. When Cao Gong gets angry, it will happen." Liu Bei said.

The old man's eyes lit up. When Liu Bei said this, it meant that except for blocking the road, Liu Shijun acquiesced in other methods he said.

It seems that Liu Shijun also wanted to stay. The old man suddenly discovered something, but he simply thought that it was because Liu Bei had feelings for this place, so he was willing to stay.

"Okay, okay, then there is no road blockage, no road blockage, as long as there is the one in front, when the time comes, the old man will go up and deliver the documents in person." The old man said with a smile.

 If nothing else, future updates will be in the middle of the night.
