Chapter 1480 Liu Xuande''s Opportunity


    Liu Bei''s situation is actually similar to that of the National Grand Casino of later generations in China. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei called him "fiercely rising" every day, he just couldn''t get up. But it can be euphemistically called a slow cow, in fact, it has almost the same meaning as "turning in" at a certain period of time, but it is just to deceive some willing self-deceptions.


    Besides, if you don’t coax some novices into the industry, how can you find someone to take over the things that are in the hands of the old?


    Chives have grown from generation to generation in the country, and one crop after another has been harvested.


    Liu Bei is also thinking about harvesting leeks. After all, he has been a leek for so many years, so he naturally wants to upgrade, from a new leek harvester to an old leek harvester.


    The question is where are the leek fields?


    Jing Xiang is good, but Liu Bei just got to know him for a while, and he feels yearning for it. However, the gentry in Jingxiang is a big problem, so Liu Bei naturally has such careful thoughts. Although he is stationed in Xinye, he still runs to Xiangyang for various reasons.


    As the saying goes, drunkards don’t mean to drink. Liu Bei went to Liu Biao, of course, not only to touch Liu Biao’s thigh, um, hug Liu Biao’s thigh, um, that’s what it meant anyway, but to fight with Jingxiang’s gentry. Good relationship, make some preparations, just in case, in case one day...


    Didn’t a salted fish boss once said that if a person has no dreams, what is the difference from a salted fish? Of course, which salted fish boss has also forgotten that it is the thousands of salted fish he ridiculed, such as tiles, sanitation, and code words, that have enough denominators to reflect the uniqueness of the boss.


    Liu Bei is naturally a salted fish with dreams.


    But salted fish, everyone knows that the smell is relatively strong, and you can smell it wherever you go...


    "That Liu Xuande is here again?" Outside Pang Degong''s deer mountain pavilion, a young man quietly raised his head to look at Liu Bei who was walking down the mountain, but Liu Bei seemed to have sensed it. He looked up and quickly shrank back, " Do you want to ask Master to come out of the mountain again?"


    Pound Duke laughed, and wrapped the leather robe around his body.


    "Liu Jingsheng was not able to persuade Master back then," the young man curled his lips slightly, "talking about the clan of the Han Dynasty all day long, it''s not annoying..."


    "Isn''t this the case for everyone in the world?" Pang Degong said with a smile, "The way of making decorations is far away!"


    The young man froze for a moment, fell silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance..."


    Pound Lord smiled slightly, nodded, and then said: "What do you think of this person?"


    "Like duckweed, if there is no foundation, it will not last long..." said the boy.


    Pang Degong smiled, neither saying it was right, nor saying it was wrong, but changed the subject, and asked again: "What about Jiangdong Sun Bofu?"


    The young man looked up at Lord Pang De, and then said: "The blood is too brave, but the strength is easy to break."


    "Xuchang Cao..." Duke Pang De just said halfway, when he suddenly remembered something, he changed his words and said, "How do you view General Zhengxi?"


    "General Zhengxi?" The young man blurted out, "Isn''t Shi Yuan already there?"


    "Shiyuan is Shiyuan..." Pang Degong looked back at the boy, "Kongming is Kongming, how can they be confused? I heard that your brother Ziyu has gone to Jiangdong recently?"


    Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, nodded and said, "That''s right." Sun Ce was also recruiting talents in Jiangdong, and Zhuge Jin went to Jiangdong at this moment, so the natural significance is self-evident.


    "The Yuan family has declined..." Pang Degong raised his head, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "Yuan Benchu ??was glamorous on the outside, but short-sighted on the inside, and there was no harmony between brothers. Now he has ended up in a lonely situation. Benevolence is also the cause of defeat...Nowadays, the world is becoming more and more chaotic, Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, all have wars...You have to think about it..."


    Zhuge Liang arched his hands and remained silent.


    ………………


    At the foot of the Lushan Mountain, Liu Bei wandered around the wooden house under the Lushan Mountain. When he learned that Zhuge Liang was no longer in the wooden house, he could only leave a sentence in dismay, and then walked back slowly.


    "How can we get the right time to conquer the West!"


    Halfway on the way, Liu Bei couldn''t help sighing, "I heard that under the deer mountain, in this house, there are Pang Shiyuan and Xu Yuanzhi, both of whom are extremely talented. People call Shennong reincarnation, wherever he passes, he can solve droughts and floods, and increase harvests! There is also Taishi Zijian, who is proficient in weapons and specializes in utensils. The weapons produced are all high-quality sharp blades. , can cut gold and break jade, the world is seeking it but can''t... Alas... If someone can get one of them, this life is enough! Why does the sky wait so much for Zhengxi..."


    "Brother..." Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, wanting to say something, but didn''t know what to say.


    Liu Bei turned his head and looked over, looked at Zhang Fei, suddenly smiled, and said, "But I have two good brothers! So what about Zhengxi! The two brothers are just like a certain brother, but if you have siblings, you can go anywhere in the world." Get it! Don''t take it!"


    As soon as he said this, even Guan Yu was a little moved. He narrowed his eyes slightly, brushed his long beard, and said proudly: "My brother''s wish is what Guan wants!"


    "Me too!" Zhang Fei also roared, shaking the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests away in a hurry.


    Just as the three of them were looking at each other and laughing, suddenly someone shouted loudly from the road ahead: "Is Xuande Gong ahead? Stay here!"


    Liu Bei and the three looked at each other, and when the visitor approached, they realized that it was Liu Biao''s eldest son, Liu Qi.


    When Liu Qi got close to Liu Bei, he didn''t get off his horse, and he bowed his hands slightly on the horse''s back and said, "Xuande, let me find it!" Liu Qi learned that his father Liu Biao wanted him to lead the team to Sichuan and Sichuan, so he rushed to find Liu Bei , As a result, when they rushed to Xinye, they said that Liu Bei had gone to Xiangyang, and when they returned to Xiangyang, they said that Liu Bei had gone to Lushan. It was indeed not easy to travel all the way.


    Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Let the son run around, it''s all a fault!"


    Liu Qi didn''t specifically want to trouble Liu Bei, just like in normal times, if someone readily admits a mistake, most people don''t care too much about it. On the contrary, if they keep finding reasons to make excuses, it will be even more annoying, so Liu Qi saw Liu Bei Saying so, he didn''t continue to say anything more about this matter, but said to Liu Bei: "So that Xuande can know that some time ago, Sichuan and Shu Liu Yizhou sent people to find my father, and wanted to send reinforcements to Sichuan to resist the northern enemy... "


    Liu Bei''s eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief, "Then...your lord''s intention is..." These two times when Liu Bei came, he didn''t see Liu Biao. Either he said that Liu Biao was not feeling well, or that Liu Biao had died. After going out, it was obvious that Liu Biao did not make a final decision, but Liu Qi couldn''t hide the matter, so he poked it out eagerly.


    "The family is strict and wants to order XX to lead the army!" Liu Qi said carelessly, "If you can get Xuande''s help, XX will have nothing to worry about! I wonder if Xuande is willing to follow XX into Sichuan?"


    Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, and they seemed to be able to see a hint of joy in each other''s eyes...


    "Young master thinks highly of you, and I am willing to follow you into Sichuan!"


    ………………


    But things are not as simple as Liu Bei imagined.


    Liu Qi expressed his excitement hastily, but everyone knows the problem. On the land of Jingzhou, when it comes to hunting and drinking, Liu Qi is right, but he has to send troops, and he needs money and food. Liu Qi alone said it. Not counting, Liu Biao still needs to nod in the end.


    And Liu Biao didn''t know why, so he didn''t talk to Liu Bei about this matter. It wasn''t until two or three days later, when the news that Cao Cao captured Shouchun came out, that Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to a banquet and formally raised this matter, but Liu Biao also raised a condition…


    Liu Bei returned from Xiangyang to Xinye. When he got home, he didn''t enter the hall, but sat down in the backyard.


    "Lang Jun..." Mrs. Mi heard that the servants reported that Liu Bei had returned, but after waiting for a long time, she did not see Liu Bei entering the house, so she found Liu Bei strangely. "You are..."


    "Zhen''er..." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to signal for Mi Zhen to sit down.


    Speaking of which, Mizhen is nearly two rounds younger than Liu Bei, and it may attract a lot of discussion from others in later generations, but it was a very common thing in the Han Dynasty, um, or, for someone with some power like Liu Bei It''s a very common thing to say.


    It seems like now, Liu Bei is going to get married again.


    "This..." Hearing about this, Mizhen forced a smile and said, "Congratulations to my husband...do you need anything prepared?"


    Liu Bei was a bit embarrassed, but he still said it out: "Is it okay to bother Zhen''er and move to the West Wing first?" She can also be regarded as the daughter of the main house, and her identity is still Cai Mao''s younger sister, so it is impossible to treat her as a concubine when she comes. Naturally, Mizhen needs to give up the main house first.


    Mizhen stared at Liu Bei when she heard the words, as if she wanted to get to know the husband in front of her again, she stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll move today!"


    Liu Bei opened his mouth, but found that he couldn''t say anything. Facing the bold words that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could utter, he seemed so pale and powerless when facing this Mi Zhen.


    Liu Bei asked Mizhen to give up the main house, in fact, he was protecting Mizhen to some extent...


    Liu Biao not only offered Liu Bei such a marriage, but even said that the road to Sichuan and Shushan was rough and difficult, and the vicinity of Badong was basically deserted for a long time, and the living conditions were not ideal. Well, don''t take it all the way to work, stay in Jingxiang, you will not encounter any danger, and your living conditions will be better.


    Although the words sound nice, Liu Biao and Liu Bei both know what they are actually.


    If he wants to get such an opportunity, Liu Bei must not only accept the marriage, but also keep his family as hostages. Of course, Liu Bei can also choose not to accept it, but in this way, even Xinye may be taken back by Liu Biao. Continue with Liu Bei''s caravan tour.


    When the opportunity comes, not only must there be preparation, but also sacrifice. Liu Bei finally chose his dream, so naturally he had to make some sacrifices. Therefore, if Mizhen stays, giving up the main house in advance can at least allow her to obtain a certain degree of immunity from the newcomer Cai. At least for a period of time, as long as Cai is not stupid, she will not do anything to Mizhen. This also protects Mizhen''s safety.


    However, all these considerations and arrangements of Liu Bei seem to be complete, but they don’t seem to have much meaning, at least at this moment, in Mi Zhen’s heart, they are meaningless...


    Many successful people will say that when the opportunity really comes, they must be prepared, but those people did not say that these preparations also include some sacrifices, perhaps sacrificing themselves, or sacrificing others...


    ………………


    "It''s really cheap for that old guy..." Cai Mao muttered, watching his wife choose the dowry for the younger sister. "It would be great if it was earlier than the Huang family''s attack..."


    "Wait!" Cai Mao stood up suddenly, and brought back the two scrolls of calligraphy in his wife''s hands, "This can''t be used as a dowry, so I''ll pick another one..."


    "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only hanging scrolls of Emperor Meng are in pairs at home..." Mrs. Cai Mao was not happy, she carefully selected the dowry things, and now that they can''t do it, where can I find alternatives, "The rest of the calligraphy and painting They are all single lines, are there double lines, and the writing is old-fashioned, how can it be a dowry thing?"


    As the elder sister-in-law of the family, it is natural to prepare some private utensils for the younger sister to marry. As for the ordinary items, there is no difference, but of course things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting need to be carefully selected , not ordinary items can act as.


    Cai Hao looked at the hanging scroll in his hand, feeling a little bit reluctant: "I really don''t have anything else? I don''t think it''s okay to have two in the back room..."


    "The two words that are neither indifferent nor far-sighted, nor peaceful nor far-reaching? Hehe..." Mrs. Cai Mao laughed, "Do you think these two sentences are really suitable for the newlyweds?"


    Cai Hao''s face was dark, and he was silent for a while, but returned the scroll in his hand to his wife, "That old thief..."


    "What old thieves, old thieves, we are all family now..." Mrs. Cai Mao glared at Cai Mao, "Be careful to let people listen... Besides, even my little sister... it is not appropriate to say that..."


    "Hmm..." Cai Mao said hesitantly, "Actually, what is more important is the dowry pawns...The old... Xuande will go west to Sichuan and Sichuan with the eldest son in a few days, so for Xuande, I am afraid that how many pawns dowry in the past is the most important thing." the most important…"


    "What?" Mrs. Cai Mao frowned. Although she was aware of being a political appendage in the Han Dynasty as a woman, after all, she was a little bit aggrieved for her little sister. "So, isn''t it..."


    "What do you know?" Cai Mao glanced at his wife, "If we don''t want to send some soldiers out, the lord will feel at ease? It''s not like you don''t know how proud Gan Ning is these days...I give up a little bit, Give up something and go out, but the lord must support Yu X, the way to advance and retreat, there is a way to advance and retreat, there is a choice and a sacrifice, this is the long-term way..."


    Mrs. Cai Hao couldn''t say that she was wronged for the younger sister, so she could only sigh slightly and vaguely pass it.


    "That''s right," Cai Mao thought of another thing, and said, "Young Master Cong will reach his age in a few years... the good sons of this clan, we should choose one or two carefully..."


    Madam Cai Hao smiled: "Don''t worry about this, I have already prepared it..."


    Cai Mao nodded and looked towards the sky. For Cai Mao, what can be solved by marriage is naturally to be solved by marriage. Only problems that cannot be solved by marriage will be considered other means...
