It was another sleepless night, Liu Bei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, he didn't close his eyes all night, and his mind was still thinking about what he should do and what kind of way he should face this sudden change.

Is it to go against the grain and get by?

Or do you resign and fly away?

But the world is so big, Liu Bei can't find a place where he can settle down, a small piece of sky that really belongs to him, even if it's only a small piece.

But the reality is cruel, Liu Bei's beautiful dream in the past was completely shattered tonight. In the past few years as the governor of Jingnan, he has been full of spirit, and he has made him like a fish in water, and he seems to be famous, but in fact, it is not as good as a word from others.

Just a paper order, so that all his hard work in the past few years was in vain, people go to tea and cool, trees fall and scatter, once he leaves Jingnan, it is equivalent to leaving the fertile soil that makes him strong.

He even thought about leaving Liu Biao, Jingzhou is at the key point of the north and south, the main road of the east and the west, and it is a place of four wars, but after leaving, where can he go?

After thinking about it, Liu Bei set his sights on Liu Zhang, who was located in Yizhou, Liu Zhang was a pastor in Yizhou, and his father Liu Yan had been living in Yizhou for a long time since the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not to mention, Liu Zhang was also a descendant of the Han family, and his royal bloodline was more pure than Liu Biaolai, and he was a descendant of King Lu Gong of Han, and more importantly, Liu Zhang's ancestral home was Jiangxia in Jingzhou, and he was a native of Jingling County.

Liu Biao and Liu Yan are also descendants of King Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the royal family surnamed Liu in the world was hit hard, and the descendants of King Lu Gong were also within the scope of Wang Mang's attack, and then in the wave of rebellion that overthrew the new dynasty established by Wang Mang, Liu Yan and Liu Biao's ancestors actively joined the wave of rebellion, and became Liu Xiu's founding hero, and was named Hou. In the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to some other reasons, the ancestors of Liu Yan and Liu Biao lost their marquis and were relocated to Jiangxia Jingling. and Sanyang Gaoping. Since then there have been two branches.

Liu Yan's ancestors happened to be migrated to Jiangxia Jingling, and Liu Biao's ancestors were moved to Gaoping, Shanyang, and Liu Yan's ancestors were the elder brothers of Liu Biao's ancestors, and they were the eldest sons and grandsons. And Liu Biao's ancestor is a concubine. Both branches have been passed down locally.

But. When Liu Biao's grandfather arrived, Liu Biao's grandfather was unable to have children, so he passed his wife's nephew. This is Liu Biao's father. Therefore, by the time Liu Biao's grandfather arrived, it was already extinct. And Liu Yan's vein has continued.

It is precisely because of this that in the two important historical books that record this period, "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han", the records about Liu Yan are consistent, both of which write the descendants of King Han Lu Gong, but in Liu Biao's records, the "Three Kingdoms" does not mention Liu Biao's bloodline, but in the "Book of the Later Han", it is recorded that Liu Biao is a descendant of King Han Lu Gong.

The author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is Chen Shou, a figure from the Three Kingdoms period to the Western Jin Dynasty, which is closer to that era, so the record should be more detailed. The author of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty is Fan Ye, a person from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty, so the Book of the Later Han Dynasty was written later, after the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. The part about Liu Biao's lineage may have lost its rigorous investigation because of its age, so it is impossible to detect whether Liu Biao is really of Han blood.

But at that time, it was no secret that Liu Biao's bloodline was not pure, after all, his father was indeed not a descendant of the surname Liu. But fortunately, Liu Biao worked hard enough, and his reputation was even greater than Liu Yan's, and he said fairly, I am the descendant of King Hanlu Gong, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

After Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou, his eyes have been looking westward, because there is a Yizhou pastor Liu Yan who is also a descendant of King Lu Gong in the west, and the two families should be very harmonious, but Liu Biao has been thinking about how to get rid of Liu Yan in order to make everyone admit that he is the real descendant of King Lu Gong and is a pure Han blood.

Therefore, Liu Yan's every move in Yizhou was concerned by Liu Biao, and when Liu Biao learned that Liu Yan had the heart to be the emperor in Yizhou, he immediately went to the court to report it, and Liu Yan was able to stop the act of being the emperor. Moreover, Liu Yan has always looked down on Liu Biao for pretending to be his ancestors and descendants, so he is even more shameless towards Liu Biao.

Once upon a time, Liu Yan was Chen Bing on the border between Yizhou and Jingzhou, making preparations to attack Jingzhou at any time. However, it was suspended because Liu Yan suddenly fell ill. Otherwise, Liu Biao at that time was likely to be defeated by Liu Yan.

After Liu Yan died, he instructed his son Liu Zhang to start closing the country, anyway, the road from the imperial court was impassable, and the world was turbulent, so he first guarded the acre and three points of land in Yizhou, gradually strengthened himself, and then looked for opportunities to compete for the world, and his first goal was Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang is weak, he doesn't have any eloquence at all, and it's a bit difficult to defend himself, let alone fight out? Over the years, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has continued to grow, more threatening the safety of Yizhou, wars often break out between the two, but obviously Liu Zhang's army is more, but I don't know what the reason is, always lose more and win less, over time, Yizhou has even reached the level of Tan Lu's color change, as long as he heard that Zhang Lu attacked again, the officials and people in Yizhou were panicked and prepared to flee.

But it turned out that Zhang Lu was just making a small fuss, and he didn't have that strength to destroy Liu Zhang. This shows the degree of weakness within Yizhou.

Liu Bei set his sights on Yizhou, but no one introduced him to Liu Zhang, according to the seniority, he should be called Liu Zhang's brother, and Liu Zhang's weakness is what he values more, and it is precisely because of Liu Zhang's weak character that the available talents in Yizhou cannot be reused, and the reused talents are all mediocre, which directly caused the current situation.

When he was in Jingnan, Liu Bei had inquired about the situation in Yizhou, and he also knew some information, but at that time he wanted to use the four counties of Jingnan as a base and slowly develop and grow.

But now it seems that Yizhou is his fate. If he can reach Yizhou, he will work for Liu Zhang for a few years, and then after everything is mastered, he will overthrow Liu Zhang and replace him, so that Yizhou will become his bag.

Liu Bei's ideas are good, but he lacks the spirit of hard work. Because he didn't know what his future would be, if he left Jingzhou here and went to Yizhou without anyone to introduce him, but when he arrived in Yizhou, he knew that Lu Dao and Liu Zhang didn't take him in at all, so where would he go?

The sky became brighter and brighter, Liu Bei yawned, although he was very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep. So, Liu Bei lifted the futon, got dressed, jumped out of bed, and prepared to wash his face, wash away yesterday's bad luck, and prepare to meet the sunny today.

After Liu Bei finished washing his face, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Fei standing there in a strong suit, raising one hand and making a gesture of wanting to knock on the door.

When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei, there was immediately a trace of surprise on his face, he had only been seen for one night, why was Liu Bei's hair half white?

"Big brother, you ...... Your hair ......" Zhang Fei pointed to Liu Bei's hair in surprise.

"What happened to my hair?" Liu Bei touched his head.

"Why is it all white?" Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei frowned, not believing what Zhang Fei said, so he turned around and walked into the house, picked up a bronze mirror, took a photo from the left and right, the person in the bronze mirror had a thin face, deep eye sockets, and bloodshot eyes, and the most important thing was that the black hair that used to be had become all gray.

"Yikes! How did I end up like this? Liu Bei saw himself in the bronze mirror, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and was surprised, as soon as he missed, the bronze mirror in his hand fell to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

Back then, Wu Zixu turned white overnight, and every time Liu Bei read this, he thought it was a joke, but when this matter really fell on him, he was able to understand how sad Wu Zixu was the night before passing the Zhao Pass. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei himself followed in the footsteps of Wu Zixu, and he was so sad that he turned white overnight. (To be continued......)
