In order to balance the brotherly relationship between Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, Liu Bei did not appoint one of them as the vanguard, but instead brought the great seal of the pioneer to Wu Ban stationed in Zigui, and ordered the two to serve as the deputy generals of Wu Ban.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing said goodbye to Liu Bei and happily went to Zigui, Liu Bei's body was getting worse and worse, and he went back to lie down and rest. Thinking of these two young faces, presumably the second brother and the third brother will also be deeply gratified in the spirit of the sky, but why is his own roots and seedlings not strong enough?

The eldest son, Liu Chan, if he was born in the family of princes and nobles, there must be nothing wrong in his life, but he was born in the family of the emperor, and with his generosity and kindness, he is afraid that he will not be able to support this country.

And Liu Bei feels old, I don't know if I can personally guide Liu Chan for a few years, I don't know who can support him in the future?

All the civil and military ministers have gone through Liu Bei's mind, either their ability is not enough, or their appeal is not strong, only Zhuge Liang is a usable talent, but because of Wang Baoyu, there is always a layer of window paper between the monarch and the minister.

Speaking of which, the person Liu Bei finally remembered was Wang Baoyu.

In fact, Liu Bei's feelings for Wang Baoyu are the most complicated, Guan Yu and Zhang Feizhong are brave and honest, and they don't have to worry about anything. Only this little brother is shrewd, has a wide range of friends, is a maverick, and is the king and hegemon.

In Liu Bei's heart, Wang Baoyu is sometimes cute and sometimes hateful, saying that he harbors evil intentions, he has not done anything sorry for himself, saying that he is affectionate and righteous, but he is always outside his control, which makes it difficult to let go.

Maybe it's because he's old, since he lost his second and third brothers one after another, Liu Bei occasionally thinks of Wang Baoyu, and he often feels a sense of intimacy in his heart, after all, he is a sworn brother who knocks his head down!

It's just that the relationship between this fourth brother and himself has always been like a separation, I wonder if the two of them will have a time to drink and talk happily in the future? Hey, Liu Bei sighed heavily, and a clear tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

Wang Baoyu has been sneezing a lot these days, guessing that someone is thinking about him, but he doesn't care, and now with his noble status, there are countless people who think about him.

Liu Bei's letter was finally delivered, a very thick volume, Wang Baoyu unfolded it, it was more than 1,000 words, and the content was very sensational. Liu Bei recalled a lot of past events in the letter, chattering from Wollongong to Chengdu reunion, Wang Baoyu in his eyes, both a brother and his own child, watching him thrive, as a big brother in his heart happy!

Liu Bei also said that now two of the four brothers who have formed a righteous relationship have left, leaving only him and Wang Baoyu, and the brotherhood is precious, and he attaches great importance to it.

In the end, Liu Bei mentioned that he would rather die of illness than see each other between his siblings.

Liu Bei didn't want to be an enemy of Wang Baoyu, although he didn't say it explicitly, he was hinting that Wang Baoyu should not take refuge in Sun Quan, otherwise, he would only have to meet with swords.

As long as he didn't let himself help beat Sun Quan, Wang Baoyu called Jia Zhigang and asked him to reply to Liu Bei according to the content of the letter.

Jia Zhigang was about to reply to the letter, but Wang Baoyu smiled and told him two sentences, Liu Bei will be sensational, we can write more sensational.

These are not things, Jia Zhigang wrote according to Wang Baoyu's meaning, and sprinkled thousands of words, all in one go.

Wang Baoyu emphasized in this letter that the relationship with his brother is unforgettable, and the righteousness with the county lord cannot be abandoned, and the younger brother is very embarrassed and can't sleep at night. I once hoped that my brother and eldest brother would not fight each other, but things have already happened, and we can only help each other.

At the same time, Wang Baoyu also said that it is difficult for him to make great achievements with only a few soldiers and horses. When the two sides are fighting, Cao Pi will definitely take advantage of the situation, and the only thing he can do at the moment is to hold his city and try to block the Cao army in the north.

Shhh

Liu Bei was so brainy, as soon as he saw this letter, he knew that it was not written by Wang Baoyu at all, but Wang Baoyu promised to stay out of the matter, which made him temporarily let down his guard.

Sima Yi, who was stationed in Pingchun, had already learned the news that Liu Bei had sent troops to Jiangdong, and he was in a pretty good mood. Cao Hong finally grinned, lowered his arrogant head, and praised Sima Dudu for his foresight, saying that he had eyes and didn't know gold and jade before, and he bumped into Mr., and I hope I don't take it to heart.

Sima Yi smiled at each other, and Cao Hong and Cao Hong have been united since then, and there will be no more disputes.

Liu Bei raised troops, Jiangdong was terrified, but Sima Yi, who had been holding his troops still, gained a lot, not only received the surrendered Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, the two generals, but also recruited Li Yi, a master from outside the world, to his door.

Zhang Da and Fan Jiang are commonplace, and for Sima Yi, they are dispensable, but Li Yi must be treated as a guest.

At first, Sima Yi only said that he admired the name of the old immortal, and he always wanted to visit but was not idle, and did not mention the matter of letting Li Yi help fight the war.

And Li Yi was more polite to Sima Yi, because he could see at a glance that Sima Yi really had the appearance of an emperor, which was unspeakably expensive, and even Cao Sun and Liu were difficult to match.

In order to get Li Yi to help him, Sima Yi took great pains, he first renamed Qingquan Mountain in the southwest of Pingchun as Qingcheng Mountain, and then gathered soldiers to build a Taoist temple for Li Yi, called Qingxu Temple, which was more decent in scale than in Shuzhong.

Li Yi was deeply grateful for this, and he didn't take the initiative to help, but he knew that he was treated so well by others, and he was afraid that he would have to repay it at a critical moment.

Jiangdong envoy Zhao Shi went to Xudu again, saying that Liu Bei was crusading against Eastern Wu and asked the imperial court to send troops to help. Cao Pi was of course happy to see Liu Bei and Sun Quan fighting, but on the surface, he agreed, and immediately issued a holy decree, ordering Sima Yi to send troops to help at a later date.

Zhao Shi thanked the emperor again and again, and then immediately took this holy decree to Sima Yi, saying that Jiangdong was in a hurry, and his words were very sincere.

Sima Yi also agreed on the surface, there is a way, he will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, not to mention that there are two words on the holy decree, he didn't want to move at all.

Zhao Shi has been waiting for Sima Yi to spit out, but Sima Yi drank tea unhurriedly and said something innocuous to Zhao Zhi was not stupid, and he roughly understood the situation, got up and said goodbye and went back to tell Sun Quan. The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was basically impossible to count on, and Yiqiē could only rely on himself.

Sun Quan was sullen, he knew that this was the case, why should he submit to Cao Pi, it was better to go it alone, but to end up with a good reputation.

The diplomatic activities before the war were constantly unfolding, and Zhuge Jin received Sun Quan's instructions, and immediately got up and went to the White Emperor City regardless of the danger, trying to persuade Liu Bei not to raise a sword in vain.

"Jiangdong envoy Zhuge Jin is here!" The guards came to report.

"Nope!" Liu Bei waved his hand and said, you don't need to guess to know that it is to make peace, the soldiers have arrived here, and you Zhuge Jin will stop the army with a few words, there is no such possibility.
