The generals in the hall said: "General Wu Ban, Feng Xi should go to fight Li Yi. Both of you have studied eight formations with the prime minister, and you should be able to break the Wu army's long snake formation."

Wu Ban clasped his hands and asked: "It hasn't been long since the last general followed the Prime Minister and Huang Lao General to study the method of setting up camps, and there are still many doubts about this tiger-wing formation. Can you give advice to the late general again?"

Liu Ba nodded, and immediately explained to him: "The heaven and the earth rush forward and become the wings of a tiger. The tiger will fight to show its power. Huaiyin uses it to become infinite, and the meeting under Gaixia is unpredictable. Where is the general? If you don’t understand, feel free to ask now. Let’s discuss it so that we can benefit from each other.”

So Liu Ba and Wu Ban immediately discussed and exchanged ideas.All the generals were aroused when they heard this, and asked questions one after another.Liu Beijian's generals are young, but they are so diligent and eager to learn, they can be called rising stars.I am very relieved.However, they kept asking questions and pestered Liu Ba for nearly half an hour.Liu Bei couldn't help looking at Ma Liang.But Ma Liang shook his head: "The prime minister has eight formations, and the minister has learned to overwhelm the sky and carry the second formation. As for the dragon flying and tiger wing formation, I am not good at it. Only the king can explain it to the generals."

"It's going to be exhausting!" Liu Bei whispered.Finding a free time, he announced that today's discussion is over, and ordered the generals to go back early to rest, appease the soldiers, and recharge their batteries.All the generals resigned one after another, leaving only Liu Bei, Liu Ba and Ma Liang in the hall.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me and General Wu finish the explanation?" Liu Ba couldn't help asking.

"Because," Liu Bei said casually, "it's time for Zichu to take medicine."

"..." Along the way, Liu Bei took good care of him, brought out the imperial doctor, and watched him administer medicine and needles on time.Diet and daily life are also concerned everywhere.Arrange Liu Ba near him and take care of him all the time.Liu Ba found it very annoying at first, but after a few days, he gradually got used to it.Ma Liang looked at the two monarchs and ministers with a smile, and silently stood up and retreated.

Liu Bei got up and helped Liu Ba go back to rest and take medicine.Liu Ba was placed on the couch, and was tightly wrapped by Liu Bei with two layers of quilt.The waiter came in with soup and medicine.Liu Bei operated the cooling vessel himself, put the hot decoction in the vessel and put it on the tripod vessel, then poured cold water into the three-legged vessel from the sprue continuously with a spoon, so that the decoction in the vessel was cooled by the cold water circulation, and quickly reached the temperature required by the prescription. The required cold temperature is moderate.Then Fang Duan and Liu Ba took it.At this time, Liu Ba felt that if he wasn't sick enough, he could still drink the medicine by himself, and Liu Bei probably would have to feed him spoonful by spoonful.He has seen Liu Bei do this to Huang Zhong.

And after these few days, he had to admit that Liu Bei was very good at taking care of people.Even more considerate than those waiters.Some people say that His Majesty has not been pampered since he was a child.On the contrary, he treats his servants kindly and loves all scholars.He has been doing things like throwing mash to comfort the cold and asking diseases with Polygonum all year round.It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei is the best person in the entire Han Dynasty who is good at taking care of others.Liu Ba once thought that Liu Bei could only buy people's hearts by relying on this because he had no poems and books in his belly and no ink in his chest.But now...

"Seriously, Zichu." Seeing Liu Bei watching him take the medicine, he asked with a smile, "Kongming is so important to you. It's so important that you are willing to work hard for his sickness."

Liu Ba didn't know how to answer for a while, and looked embarrassed.After drinking the decoction, he said slowly: "I am terrified."

And Liu Bei over there has been watching his expression, and now he said with a smile: "I see that you have let go a lot these days, and you are not as cautious as before. You, you should be like this sooner. I am afraid that people will follow me." I'm polite."

"I think His Majesty is more afraid of people making trouble with you." Liu Ba said lightly.

"Since Zichu has sincerely surrendered to me, I will not look into the past. I will only treat you well in the future." Liu Bei said cheekily, and handed Liu Ba a handkerchief.

Liu Ba was speechless for a long while, before he managed to say: "Your Majesty has been with me these days like a shadow, serving soup and medicine personally. Ba is a minister who treats crimes, and I really can't bear it. I hope Your Majesty will stop doing this in the future."

"Hahahahahaha...you are so courageous! You don't give me gratitude, but you still say this!" Liu Bei laughed, and looked at Liu Ba carefully: "Zi Chu, don't be duplicity. I see that you are obviously useful. Very. Honestly. When did you start to obey me?"

"..." Liu Ba picked up the military book next to the bed and pretended to read it.

"Don't say it?" Liu Bei curled his lips: "I can see it even if you don't say it. You really think of me as a great ancestor, and your knowledge of people is for nothing."

"Your Majesty can't hide anything." Liu Ba continued to read without raising his head.

"I want you to say it." Liu Bei became stubborn: "Don't you think that I am a warrior and come from a humble background, so you can't look down on me?"

"...How dare I, the minister. The prime minister has already said that His Majesty is comparable to Yao and Shun."

"Yo. It was Kong Ming who forced me. I'll tell you. He forced me too. He forced me to treat you well. He also asked you to wear his scarf. Now it's all right. When I saw this scarf, I thought of Kong Ming." And you are so sick, it reminds me of Xiao Zhi..."

"So I love my house and my crow?" Liu Ba snorted.

"Hey...you can say that." Liu Bei smiled and said, "But although Kong Ming is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is not as stubborn as you."

Liu Ba laughed.I just heard Liu Bei say: "Do you think I haven't read? Yes, I don't like to read. But I am also Lu Zhonglang's favorite student? And since I met Kong Ming, I have begun to read a little bit. Even if I am too lazy to read, Kong Ming doesn't like to read." I will explain it to you. I learn things just like the prime minister, and I can get the gist of it by looking at its outline alone. It is not the same as those rotten scholars who only rule the classics and chew on words."

"Yes. The Empress Dowager Meng's mother moved three times, so that His Majesty learned from Lu Zhonglang, and finally created a generation of sages..."

"Of course." Liu Bei did not refute: "There are two kinds of people in this world, one kind of people who throw mash to soothe the cold, and those who are sick can return to their hearts. ...I just didn't expect Zichu to be the former one?"

Liu Ba was startled: "It's the first type, so what?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Liu Bei patted the bed: "You said it earlier, I treated you like this earlier, we don't have to be monarchs and ministers for a few years, and we are still black-eyed chickens last month?!"

Liu Ba laughed: "The minister was not sick before. There is no need for your majesty to ask about illnesses."

Liu Bei turned his head and thought for a while: "That's right. It's this opportunity of the Eastern Expedition that allowed Zichu and I to settle down. I want to write a letter to Kong Ming to make him happy..."

Liu Ba's face darkened: "Your Majesty don't need it..."

"Write, write, write... I want to write." Liu Bei turned to look for a pen and paper as he spoke.Suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "You wrote all the books that I canonized as the prime minister, Situ, and the queen and prince. Zichu should be better at writing letters than me. You should write."

Liu Ba lazily said: "The prime minister should be more happy to see the letter written by His Majesty."

"You..." Liu Bei had a headache for a while: "Okay, okay, I wrote it."

Liu Bei took the pen and paper, and was writing. Thinking of Zhuge Liang, he smiled and said to Liu Ba: "Kong Ming has a good intention. He has been forcing you to do your best for me, and he has also forced me to be good to you. He said, even if I It doesn’t matter if you act. You don’t return after a long vacation, and you know what’s wrong? I didn’t expect that in the end we would make a fake show and make a real show.”

"..." What a fake show.

"Prime Minister deserves to be far-sighted, predicts things like a god, and has foresight..." Liu Bei wrote with a smile on his lips.

"Which kind is the prime minister?" Liu Ba suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"What?" Liu Bei lowered his head to write, but didn't react.

"To throw mash to comfort the cold, or to understand righteousness?" Liu Ba asked.

"Heh." Liu Bei wrote to himself: "Have you ever seen water show righteousness to fish? Or have you seen fish throw mash into water to comfort the cold?"

"..."

"However, that's right." Liu Bei put down his pen, and said in thought, "We love each other for wetness, and we care for each other. Kong Ming and I, one is a villain, the other is a lonely minister. We throw mash to each other to comfort the cold in troubled times and cold nights. In sorrow When the country is in trouble, ask each other about the disease. On the way of building a foundation and governing the people here, we show each other great righteousness." Liu Bei said, raised his head and said to Liu Ba: "Without Kong Ming, I would not be where I am today."

"..."

Liu Bei ignored his astonishment, and continued: "It is not so much that I subdued Kong Ming, it is better to say that Kong Ming also subdued me. The Duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to his heart. Cao Mengde can't afford it. In my opinion, only Kong Ming deserves it." Start with these eight characters."

"..."

"When I was young, I studied with my mentor Lu Zhonglang. I thought that in this troubled world, the rituals were broken and music was broken, and I would not meet sages. Later, my sages became famous all over the world, and I felt lonely. Unexpectedly, God let me meet Kong Ming, come to accompany me, teach me, assist me... Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors. The ancients never deceived me..."

"..."

"So, Kong Ming is not only my prime minister, but also my grand tutor."

Xu Jing was about to cry.Liu Ba thought silently.Also... the Taifu who is 20 years younger than the emperor is really rare...

"You often ask me, what is the metaphor of fish and water? I tell you, it is difficult to explain in one word. The vastness of the water, the nurturer of the fish. The child is not the fish, but the joy of the fish is known. A confidant? A teacher and friend? Working together, life and death In my opinion, it is far superior to Guan Zhong and Duke Huan, Le Yi and King Zhao."

"..."

"... Zichu?" Liu Bei was so busy writing the letter that he didn't hear anything from Liu Ba for a long time.Looking up, I saw Liu Ba lying on the couch with his eyes closed, not sure if he was pretending to sleep or really fell asleep.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile, put down his pen, got up and covered him with a quilt: "I used to say that, and Zilong pretended to be asleep for me. Only Xianhe can keep his face unchanged and continue to make fun of me. Alas... I don’t know how sick he is now... Zichu, you must get well. Otherwise, what will Kong Ming and I do.”

Liu Bei sat by the couch for a long time, then got up and went back to the case, finished the last
