In the Youzhou Pastoral Mansion in Jicheng, Liu Bei met Liu Yu. No matter how he imagined Liu Yu's aging in his heart before he came, after seeing Liu Yu, he was still taken aback by his state. At this time, Liu Yu was already exuding the aura of death all over his body. His face is withered, and his eyes are cloudy. Seeing Liu Bei coming, he raised his hand with great difficulty, in the process, Liu Yu's arm kept trembling, Liu Bei's eyes swept over, and found that Liu Yu's hand had been emaciated to the point that only tendons and skin remained, and on the skin, pieces of black old age spots were particularly obvious.

For no reason, the four long-lost words of heaven and man, the five decays of heaven and man, suddenly flashed from Liu Bei's heart.

Liu Bei has always admired Liu Yu, even if Liu Yu once went to the court with Yuan Shao to recover Liaodong, which Liu Bei worked so hard to fight, Liu Bei did not care about him.

Who in the world can resist the position of emperor within reach? Liu Bei asked himself and transposed, but he was afraid that he would not be able to categorically refuse Yuan Shao's move. You must know that Liu Yu is a descendant of the King of the East China Sea, and the King of the East China Sea was the crown prince of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, but he didn't want to do it himself. Moreover, when Yuan Shao proposed to make Liu Yu the emperor, Liu Yu was already an important minister on the pastoral side. Liu Yu wants land in his hands, he wants people and horses, and he also has the qualifications to be the emperor, so why is he afraid that Yuan Shao will treat him as a puppet? The reason why Liu Yu categorically refused and was unmoved was that he felt that Yuan Shao had bad intentions, and second, because of his loyalty to the Han family and the imperial court. This is the most important point.

Liu Yu has been in Youzhou for so many years, he has been trembling, diligent in political affairs, benevolent and loving the people. Deeply loved by the people. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he is contrary to Gongsun Zhan's political philosophy. In history, Liu Yu died tragically, and even the history books couldn't help but sigh deeply: Ruoyu and Zhan are inseparable, sympathetic and co-operative, rectify people to get together, protect Yan and thistle, and show martial arts.

If Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan can complement each other and create another prosperous world, it is not impossible, but unfortunately both of them are too extreme, and in the end they will meet each other. In the current timeline, although Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu have repeatedly disagreed, the two still did not go to that last step, and with Gongsun Chan first defeated at the hands of Yuan Shao, the grievances and grievances between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu also disappeared with the wind. Now, Liu Yu finally can't hold it anymore. He was so tired and wanted to take a break.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and held Liu Yu's skinny palm tightly, Liu Yu's chest gasped a few times, and he squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "Qing, Qingzhou, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Bei looked at Qi Zhou next to him suspiciously. Qi Zhou is a middle-aged Confucian scholar, who has been diligent and respectful since following Liu Yu. Liu Yu is seriously ill, and Qi Zhou has been guarding him.

Qi Zhou saw Liu Bei coming over, so he sighed and said: "Taifu was overjoyed to learn that His Majesty Luan was lucky in Qingzhou, and he wanted to go to Qingzhou to see him, but he was entangled in all kinds of things in the state. originally planned to enter the court to assist the Son of Heaven after this battle, but who would have thought that Taifu would be ill. Knowing that he was seriously ill, Taifu said to himself that he had no regrets in this life, but he couldn't enter Qingzhou. ”

Liu Bei listened, and then looked at Liu Yu, who was lying on the sickbed, angry like a gossamer, and his heart was inexplicably sour. Liu Bei said to Qi Zhou: "When I returned to the teacher, I had ordered Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the state, to come north quickly, and I expected to arrive in these few days." Let's take care of Taifu first. ”

Liu Bei said goodbye to Qi Zhou and left the pastoral mansion. Affected by Liu Yu's condition, he was very depressed. So he took a step and wandered out alone. Liu Ke waited next to him, and he hurriedly led the pro-army to follow him.

Unconsciously, Liu Bei climbed to the head of Jixian County. Ji County, for hundreds of years, has been the seat of Guangyang County and Youzhou Thorn History Department. This city has been repaired by successive dynasties, tall and solid, there is a river in front, there is a high river in the back, it is worthy of being a place of beauty in the north. Liu Bei stood at the head of the city, looking at the white waves rolling in the distance, the green mountains like daisies, remembering that in the future history, countless heroes and heroes rose here, and his heart couldn't help but be broad-minded, surging with pride. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Birth, old age, sickness and death are humane, and sages are not avoidable. Why should I be sad and entangled? In the snap of his fingers, he is almost forty, and now there are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north; In the south, there are Sun Jian and Liu Biao; In the northwest, there are Liangzhou generals; The world is in turmoil. If you don't work hard and seize the time to sweep away the princes of the world, will you still leave this mess to your children and grandchildren?

Standing in the wind, Liu Bei had a lot of thoughts.

On the second day, Zhang Ji hurried to Jixian County under the escort of a team of cavalry. After seeing Liu Bei, he went directly into Liu Yu's mansion. After a while, Zhang Ji walked out with a tired face, shook his head at Liu Bei, and sighed: "General, Taifu is overworked and consumes too much vitality. Now he is old, alas. ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "There is a hundred-year-old ginseng in my house, can it be used effectively?" He remembered that his mother was also depleted, but in the end she was rescued by the ginseng. The same is true for Huang Xu.

Zhang Ji said: "The oil is exhausted, the lamp is dry, and the disease is terminal, and it is no longer a medicine stone that can be saved." However, I have used the method of acupuncture, which can prolong my life for a few days. If the Taifu has unfinished words, there will be orders in these days. ”

Zhang Ji really tried his best, and was able to prolong his life for a few days and keep Liu Yu awake, and this result also made Liu Bei very satisfied. Liu Yu was groggy and suddenly came to his senses. Those who are dying know very well in their hearts. He also knew that he was returning to the past. I'm afraid it won't last long. So he quickly ordered left and right and asked the general Liu Bei to enter.

Liu Bei heard that Liu Yu was awake and turned around, so he hurriedly went to visit. Seeing Liu Yu half-lying on the couch, he could still eat rice porridge, and then look at his face, if he didn't know the inside story, who would doubt that the old man on the couch was a mortal person? Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Zhang Ji's ability.

When Liu Yu saw Liu Bei coming in, the waiter next to him stepped back, beckoned to Liu Bei with a smile, and said, "Xuande is here, sit down." ”

Moving a Jinden left and right, Liu Bei sat in front of Liu Yu's couch and said with a smile: "Taifu is in good spirits, it seems that he will be cured in a few days." ”

Liu Yu listened, smiled calmly, and said: "Xuandexiu came to coax me, death and life day and night, and the cycle of heaven is also." How could I not know? While I was sober, I had a few words to say to Xuande. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "If the Taifu has any teachings, be prepared to listen to them." ”

Liu Yu smiled and looked at Liu Bei. This young man really brought him a lot of surprises. Originally, I thought that the way of heaven had changed, and the five virtues were rotated. Han Jiade will lose the world. Unexpectedly, among the descendants of the Liu family, there was another Liu Xuande.

Youzhou and Qingzhou are close to each other, not to mention Liaodong, which belongs to Youzhou. Liu Yu is in Youzhou, and he has already carefully studied and thought about all of Liu Bei's decrees. In Liu Yu's view, although Liu Bei's actions are incompatible with the decrees implemented by the current imperial court, there is no doubt that Liu Bei's governance is the real benevolent government. Liu Bei's actions are very much in line with Liu Yu's appetite. Liu Yu was originally in Youzhou to save lenient government, persuade farmers and plants, and read the benefits of the people, so that when the people were happy and the world was in chaos, the money in Youzhou Valley was often kept at the level of thirty yuan and one stone. Even hundreds of years later, people still remember Liu Yu, and write poems to praise them: Youzhou is not a fairy land, and the valley stone is thirty dollars in the world.

Maybe he knew that his life was coming to an end, and countless past events came to his heart, and many things that he couldn't see through and think of before, Liu Yu suddenly figured them all out.
