Chapter 227 Liu Bei's Vision
,,,,,,,,,,,,
At night, Zhao Yun hurried into Liu Bei's room, clasped his fists and said, "Is the lord looking for subordinates?"
Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "I heard from you that you are going to practice horses. How about it, the horsepower is still strong."
Of course, Liu Bei understood that Liu Jing gave him a horse just a foil. His real purpose was to give the white BMW to Zhao Yun, but he was afraid that Zhao Yun would transfer it to him, so he first blocked his mouth with a Chixia horse. Rather than taking care of his own face, he was considering Zhao Yun's situation, which was a good intention.
This shows that in Liu Jing's heart, he is far inferior to Zhao Yun. Although this matter has nothing to do with him, Liu Bei, it still makes Liu Bei feel uncomfortable.
He has always been unhappy with the deep friendship between Zhao Yun and Liu Jing, and has endured it for deeper plans. But today, Liu Jing is favored by one in front of so many people, which makes Liu Bei feel a little overwhelmed.
He found Zhao Yun and wanted to scold him well, but when he said something to his mouth, he swallowed it back and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Jing was so grateful. It's been more than two years. He has always remembered your kindness to him. It's not easy."
Zhao Yun bit his lip and said, "Although he is kind, his subordinates must first consider loyalty. The subordinates who gave him the white horse did not dare to accept it. The subordinates actually went out to practice horses for the lord."
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand and said, "You are too worried, just a horse. Since he gives you it, you accept it. This is also the intention of Duke Jing. If you give it to me again, wouldn't you give it to him? Besides, you are a general and war horses are very important to you, so you accept it. I have no other intention."
Zhao Yun shook his head, "The subordinate is a minister. How can he accept the horse at the same time as his lord? This is a ritual that riots the monarch and his subjects. He dare not accept it. If the lord does not accept it, the subordinate will return the horse to Jing Gong."
Liu Bei sighed, "It seems that I'm having trouble. Okay, let's take this horse as I gave it to you, so you can accept it."
Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you lord and give the horse"
.........
Zhao Yun retreated, and Liu Bei paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He knew that Zhao Yun was a little insincere. He could see clearly that when Zhao Yun was receiving the horse, his eyes were full of gratitude and joy. Now it turned into helplessness, which made Liu Bei very angry.
He also knew that Zhao Yun was very loyal to him at other times, but when it came to Liu Jing, Zhao Yun's loyalty was discounted. He could see that Zhao Yun regarded Liu Jing as a brother, but deliberately concealed it in front of him. If he didn't mention it, would he send the horse back to Liu Jing?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei was deeply worried. Now he and Liu Jing have no conflicts. Once he and Liu Jing have conflicts or war break out, what position will Zhao Yun have to stand? This question has troubled Liu Bei for two years. Today, it once again deeply confused him.
At this moment, a soldier reported at the door: "Report to General Qi, Gong Qi asked for a meeting."
Liu Bei was excited. To him, Liu Qi was much more important than Zhao Yun. He came to Wuchang because he was actually for Liu Qi. Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Please invite him in."
After a moment, Liu Qi hurried into the room, knelt down and bowed, "Nephew Liu Qi to meet his uncle."
Liu Bei quickly helped him up, "Mr. Qi, please get up quickly."
In the past year or so, although Liu Bei has not seen Liu Qi, they have been communicating with letters. Especially after Jian Yong became Princess Nan, it has made it more convenient for the two to interact with each other, and they have established a tacit understanding.
The two sat down, and Liu Qi couldn't help but say anxiously: "My nephew's advice to be absurd and prostitute has caused his father to be angry. Kuai Gong told me clearly that it is unlikely that his father will make me a worldly life. I also understand in my heart that this time my father's birthday will be ordered to guard Nanjun and not to go to Xiangyang. I am afraid that my father has already made a decision in his heart. What should I do?"
It was not his intention that Liu Qi was absurd to visit prostitutes, but Liu Bei's plan. Although Liu Qi was reluctant, he still did it out of trust and respect for Liu Bei, but he did not expect that such serious consequences would lead to such a serious consequence, and even hopelessness in the world, which made him panic.
He has been suppressing this matter in his heart. When he saw Liu Bei today, he couldn't help but expose it.
Liu Bei naturally knew it well, and he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, in fact, even if you are diligent and self-disciplined, you can't compete for Mr. Cong. When Chong'er was fighting for Shen Sheng.
With the full support of the Cai family, with the secret help of Mrs. Cai, and your father is old and no longer as smart as he used to be, he will sooner or later make Mr. Cong the heir, and you can't fight for it."
Liu Qi lowered his head, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, "But he always feels cowardly in his heart."
"Why does Mr. Qi feel this way? A setback makes me depressed. This is not the mind to do big things. I don't know how many times I failed in my life, but I have never lost confidence. Mr. Qi, you want to be the one who is in Wei Shuyi."
Liu Qi suddenly realized and stood up to give a deep bow, "My nephew realized he was wrong."
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down"
When Liu Qi sat down, he said meaningfully: "I asked the public to do ridiculous things to confuse the provincial governor and the Cai family, and thought that the public was useless. If the public worked hard in Nanjun and trained troops, would you think the provincial governor would let you brothers kill each other in the future?"
Liu Qi nodded silently. His uncle was right. If his father passed the throne to his second brother and found that he was preparing for war, he would never allow the civil war in Jingzhou and would inevitably transfer himself from Nanjun. His absurdity could indeed confuse his father.
Seeing that he had already understood, Liu Bei smiled and said, "I talked to your father. Although I didn't say it clearly, I found that your father was also very conflicted. On the one hand, he did not want the civil war in Jingzhou and the brothers were slaughtered, but on the other hand, he was afraid that you had no foundation and Gong Cong could kill you easily, so he was determined to put you in Nanjun. In this case, your attitude is crucial. If you grasp this well and firmly control Nanjun, it requires your wisdom."
"My nephew doesn't know what to do"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Actually, you did a good job. You took the initiative to propose to return to Xiangyang to work. This is a wise move. It makes your father feel that you don't care about Nanjun, and at the same time, he will not let you go back to Xiangyang, so as not to break out of brotherly internal strife. If you do this in the future, there will be no problem."
Liu Qi pondered for a long time and said, "If I am blindly foolish, what should the army do? How can I control the army?"
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This requires external force. If the public trusts me, I can recommend Yun Chang to help him."
Liu Qi sighed, "It's good to have Yun look like help, but I'm afraid that my father will not."
"It's okay. The master can write to the provincial governor and persuade him not to believe me and beware of Liu Bei's wolf ambitions. In this case, I recommend Yun Chang to go south to Yiling, named Junhou, to train troops for you. In addition, although Zhang Yan, who monitors you, is under Cai Mao, is actually a greedy person. You can use a lot of money to seal his mouth, so that you will be foolproof."
Liu Qi was moved and shed tears and said, "Uncle is so kind, how can I repay my nephew?"
"Don't worry about not being able to repay me. I also said in the letter that when the nephew takes up the governor of Jingzhou, I can send troops to help me capture Nanyang and Shangyong. I want to take Hanzhong as my foundation. In fact, I help my nephew to help me."
Liu Qi focused on the key points, "Liu Qi will never let his uncle down, he will definitely send troops to help."
.........
Today, Zhao Yun felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that his lord was suspicious of him. Since two years ago, his lord had disliked him and Liu Jing too deeply, and for this reason he deliberately became cold and cold in his relationship with Liu Jing. For more than a year, he had almost no contact with Liu Jing.
The last time my lord went to Changsha for treatment and went to Chaisang, it was the lord who asked him to visit Liu Jing, including the later support of the Battle of Chaisang, which was also the lord's arrangement. But today, because of a horse, the lord began to be dissatisfied with him again.
The lord clearly knew that Liu Jing sacrificed his life to save him in Runan, and he also knew that he would be rewarded with others. But why can't he tolerate himself treating Liu Jing as his younger brother? Will he betray him if he treats Liu Jing as his younger brother?
Zhao Yun couldn't help but complain about Liu Bei in his heart. He felt that Liu Bei didn't understand him, and even didn't believe in him. Zhao Yun is over teenager this year, and has been fighting in the north for many years. He has not yet gotten married again. He has not had a good day to follow Liu Bei. He has been running away in defeat for most of the time. He will not complain about these things and follow Liu Bei loyally.
But Zhao Yun is also a human being after all. When his loyalty is not understood and even suspected by his lord, he can imagine the frustration in his heart.
Zhao Yun walked to the city wall without realizing it. The soldiers guarding the city knew him and did not stop him. Zhao Yun slowly climbed to the top of the city. He stood beside the female wall, staring at the dark river in the distance, and looked to the far north again, and looked to his hometown.
He thought of his parents, his wife and children who died tragically in the chaos army, and his master who had passed away. A sense of loneliness that he had never felt before filled his heart. Before he knew it, Zhao Yun was already crying.
"Mother" his voice was hoarse and he called his deceased mother in a low voice.
.........
"What do you want to go back to your hometown to sweep the graves for your parents?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun kneeling on the ground in surprise, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"I dreamed of my mother last night. It was my mother who urged me to go back for sacrifices. I haven't visited my parents' graves for ten years and begged the lord to allow me to go back to my hometown."
Liu Bei was silent for a long time and sighed, "I am wrong today, I apologize to you."
"No"
Zhao Yun shook his head quickly, "That thing is wrong. I shouldn't have been accepted by my subordinates. Now my lord has given it to me. My subordinates are already at ease. My subordinates want to go back to their hometown to visit the graves and have nothing to do with this matter. When I was in Xinye, I had this idea."
Liu Bei looked at him silently for a while and asked again: "When will you be back?"
"It will be two months soon, and it will be months later. My subordinates will definitely come back."
Liu Bei had no choice but to claim to be filial, how could he not allow his subordinates to visit his mother's grave? He had to nod, "Okay, take two brothers with you and be careful."
Zhao Yun nodded silently, "I will be careful, thank you lord, I will set out tonight. Please tell Gong Jing for me that I can't attend his wedding. I'm very sorry."
“你去吧我会替你转告.”
