Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

"It's ridiculous that I have been suspicious of my surroundings, my left and right, and my heirs all my life. When I was about to die, I was still suspicious of my own brothers."

His hands became weaker and his body sank on the bed, and he didn't know who to ask.

"As the shepherd of this state, why did you do this?"

No one answered him. After a long time, Liu Biao looked away from Liu Bei and looked outside the door.

"It's also ridiculous. Until now, I didn't understand that I have left nothing in my life."

The eldest son and the concubine were fighting among themselves, and he was already fighting for power and position before he died, forming cliques, and his left and right were also divided into two sides.

But he, as if he had become an outsider, could only watch silently.

Liu Bei knelt by Liu Biao's bed, listening to Liu Biao's words.

He knew Liu Biao's suffering, but at this moment he couldn't do anything else, he could only comfort him softly.

"Brother, you worry too much."

"Worried too much?" Liu Biao's chest was heavy, and his voice was intermittent.

Outside the room door could see those who seemed to be covering their faces and sobbing, Liu Biao smiled silently.

"How many of those people outside the door are really crying for me?"

The red-eyed woman stood far away, and the weeping children with their heads bowed were crying, and the left and right parts were all mournful.But he didn't see much real sadness on the faces of these people.

Without looking outside the door, Liu Biao stretched out his other hand and placed it on Liu Bei's.

"My dear brother, there are not many remaining in the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao took the emperor to the north to the Central Plains. After I die, he will definitely go south. At that time, if the virtuous brother is willing, I hope you can help Conger once. If the virtuous brother is not willing , whether to stay or not, is entirely up to the virtuous brother himself. Even if the virtuous brother takes Jingzhou, I will not blame you."

"Brother." Liu Bei wanted to say something, but Liu Biao raised his hand and did not let him speak.

Liu Biao, who was lying on the sickbed, had no strength left, and he wanted to finish his last words.

"I don't have any attachments now, only two things I want to entrust to you."

Looking at Liu Bei, Liu Biao's voice became softer and softer.

"One, Brother Wangxian, don't want to become like me, and second, Brother Wangxian, don't let the Han Dynasty fall into this world."

His hand patted Liu Bei's hand lightly and let go.

All the strength in his body was pulled away bit by bit, Liu Biao asked with half-closed eyes.

"My dear brother, how big is the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Bei couldn't answer.

"It's a pity." Liu Biao whispered to himself: "I only have the eyesight of a state, so I can't see the vastness of the world."

4Chapter 16: The Last White Horse Yicong

Liu Biao died of illness, and his concubine Liu Cong succeeded Jingzhou. Within a month, Cao Cao really went south.Liu Bei led his army to station troops in Fancheng, but he didn't know that Liu Cong had ordered someone to surrender to Cao Cao.It wasn't until Cao Cao's army and horses arrived in Wancheng that Liu Bei received the news from Liu Cong's men.

He had a mouth but couldn't say it was full of depression. In anger, he beheaded the envoy sent by Liu Cong with a sword, and led the army to the city of Xiangyang to question him.But he only saw a cold city wall and the soldiers who drew their bows and arrows. Liu Cong didn't come to see him at all.

Liu Bei looked blankly at the soldiers on the city wall, and those soldiers pointed their bows and arrows at him, as if if he didn't leave, all arrows would be fired at the next moment.

He still remembered what Liu Biao said to him, if you are willing, I hope you can help Cong'er, but now it is no longer a matter of whether he is willing or not.

Under the city, Liu Bei nodded, and whispered, as if explaining to himself: "This is a troubled world."

After speaking, he pulled his horse and led the army to retreat.

When Liu Bei withdrew, many people in Jingzhou abandoned Liu Cong and followed him. In the end, there were more than [-] people accompanying him.

"Liu Bei led the people east?" Cao Cao sat under his tent, heard Xiaoqi's report, lowered his eyes, and looked at the map on the desktop.

After pondering for a while, he said: "When Hulao passed, I knew that he was not in the pool. It was a mistake not to keep him in Xuzhou."

Everyone was sitting in the tent, Cao Cao put away the map in his hand, and smiled again: "How far does he think he can go with a hundred thousand people?"

Indeed, if Liu Bei just retreated with his army and horses, it would not be easy to catch up with him.

But now with [-] people, the daily journey may only be more than ten miles, and Qingqi can catch up with them in a day or two.

Once caught up, one hundred thousand people will become a drag instead of fighting strength, and they will collapse as soon as they charge.

Knowing this, Liu Bei led the people to evacuate. He didn't know whether it was benevolence or wisdom to do so.

But this is also the reason why Cao Cao treats him differently, such courage is not something ordinary people can have.

Cao Cao sat up straight and raised his eyes.

"Then chase after him, this time I will definitely not let this Liu Bei go away again."

at night.

Liu Bei ordered the army to stop and repair on the side of the road.Among the people there were many women and children, who could no longer walk after a day's journey, and had no way to continue on their way.And on this day, they only traveled ten miles.

A bonfire was lit, and Liu Bei sat by the bonfire frowning. It has been seven days since they retreated here from Xiangyang, but they didn't go far at all.Cao Jun may have already arrived in Xiangyang. If he came to chase them, he should be able to catch up with them in a few days.

He raised his head, and by the light of the fire, he looked at the scattered bonfires on the road in the distance, and the people who were huddled around the bonfires, and sighed helplessly.

Amidst the sighs, a person sat down beside Liu Bei: "My lord, what are you sighing for?"

Liu Bei looked, it was a young man in a white robe, his face relaxed a little, but he still said with a sad face.

"Kong Ming, I'm wondering if I can really bring them to Jiangxia safely."

The young man named Kong Ming replied with a slight smile.

"If the lord feels that there is nothing to be done, wouldn't it be fine to abandon them?"

Liu Bei was startled, and waved his hand with a wry smile: "Kong Ming, you know I won't do this."

On the winding road, clusters of bonfires stretched far away. Although the clusters of flames were not bright, they were connected in a line, illuminating the entire road.

Looking at the flames stretching far away, Liu Bei said.

"Since they believe in me and dare to follow each other, why don't I dare to go with them?"

······

Cao Cao chased Liu Bei to the east, and at the same time worried that Liu Bei would go straight to Jiangling first, so he asked Gu Nan and Guo Jia to lead thousands of cavalry to attack Jiangling. If Liu Bei attacked the city, they would stop him before he attacked.

Before leaving, Gu Nan specially found Cao Chun who was leading the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao's tent, and had a word with him.
