Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 45 The Father and Son Conversation
Liu Bei was thinking about Nanzhong while walking, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "Nanzhong can be pictured. I am a big man who loses Jingzhou. I am nourished by Nanzhong's taxes and taxes. The people of Nanzhong It's so good for me to use."

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Liu Chan couldn't help showing joy and complimenting him: "Father is wise!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he said with emotion: "Adou, I asked you to study with Kong Ming. It's true. I haven't seen you for a year. What you did and what you said when you came out of Yiling this time can be praised. I am very gratified for my father. "

Liu Chan was embarrassed to see Liu Bei boasting so much, and smiled innocently.

"I used to see you as a benevolent person, usually friendly to others, and I was always worried. A Dou, you are too humble and kind. If you were an ordinary person, everyone would be friendly to you; but an emperor needs a heart that is different from the heart of ordinary people. , I know today that you have the interests of the country in your heart, and in the future, you will use this to judge the affairs of the country, and you must not indulge in behaviors that harm the affairs of the great man because of your benevolent character and kind thoughts in your heart, remember!" Liu Bei continued to stroke his beard and warned.

Liu Chan looked puzzled, and was about to ask questions with some doubts.

Liu Bei seemed to see Liu Chan's puzzlement and added: "The heart of an emperor is very benevolent; the benevolence of an emperor is the benevolence that can only be shown when it is beneficial to the country. If a powerful family is not restrained, it will cause great harm to the country; corrupt officials If the corrupt officials are not eradicated, they will disrupt the country's discipline. Therefore, if the benevolence of hundreds of surnames is the cause of harm to the world, the benevolence of hundreds of families is small benevolence, and the benevolence of the world is great benevolence. Do you know what is the benevolence of the world? Benevolence?"

Liu Chan thought for a while and slowly replied: "Father, are the people in the world?"

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, pointing at Liu Chan's feet, Liu Chan replied thoughtfully: "Father, but I'm not a big man at all."

Liu Bei asked with a smile: "There are many great Han roots, but only one is the most important, which is the foundation of the country. The foundation of my great Han nation is the people in Shu. Naturally, the benevolence of the people in Shu is the benevolence of you and me; The establishment of the country depends on the help of the people of Jingchu, if the people of Jingchu harm our great Han Yizhou, we must also get rid of them. Those who govern the country can change, but the foundation of the country cannot be changed.”

Liu Chan couldn't help looking at Liu Bei in disbelief when he heard that.

Liu Beiyun said calmly: "Human aid must be based on people. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, I have experienced the melee of the princes, the confrontation between Yuan and Cao, and the Chibi three-pointed world. The places I walked went to Youzhou in the north and Jingnan in the south. See How many princes have been defeated and defeated, and I have experienced many battles. I have a deep understanding of people-oriented; I rely on people-oriented to get to where I am today. Maybe my military is not enough, but I will not lose the hearts of the people, and I will have a comeback day."

"Cao Cao slaughters the people, my father, I love the people; Cao Cao is suspicious of ministers, my father, I trust ministers; Cao Cao uses the sons of noble families, my father, I value the children of poor families; Cao Cao abandons them, I use them; this is the foundation of my foundation today." Speaking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing, but his expression was a bit elusive.

Liu Chan felt some complicated emotions when he heard it. He spoke sincerely, but expressed the sadness of Liu Bei's rebellion and soldiers.

Liu Bei and Liu Chan looked at each other, Liu Bei sighed: "If I had the talent of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's family, I would not act like this. The county is powerful; even the white horse general Gongsun Zan is loved by the prefect's daughter because of his handsome appearance, and all the princes laughed at me as a weaver of mats and shoes. But I started my business based on what I told you."

Liu Chan remained silent, showing that he respectfully listened to the admonition. He came from later generations and naturally knew the sufferings of the three Ji Han brothers. Liu Bei was 41 years old and lived in a small town in Xinye.When I was young, I read the Three Kingdoms and loved Shu Han, and when I was in college, I loved Cao Cao. After being severely beaten by the society, I suddenly realized that I admired Liu Bei.

Now, as Liu Chan, I feel extraordinary in contact with him, and I don't know how to express it in words.

Looking at the silent Liu Chan, Liu Bei's tone was serious, his eyes were deep, and he said earnestly: "You can learn from your father, but you can't learn from everything. I value friendship. Your second uncle died. I am distraught. You can learn from Cao Cao, but you can’t learn from everyone. Cao Cao is a man who knows how to use people well, and has a broad mind. There is no other military strategist in the world. He massacred cities in Xuzhou and imprisoned the emperor, so you can’t learn from him.”

A very intuitive feeling, unlike the majestic Liu Bei under Ma'anshan, Liu Bei at this time showed a feeling of licking, feeling Liu Bei's expectant eyes, Liu Chan nodded solemnly.

Seeing Liu Chan nodding his head and smiling relievedly, Liu Bei returned to the topic and said, "Let's not talk about the matter of Nanzhong for the time being. Since you proposed to take the wealth of Nanzhong and make up for the loss of Jingzhou, I think you must have a good plan. Wait for me next year. Go back to Yizhou, let Shuzhong take it easy."

"But what do you think of the upcoming battle between Wei and Wu, and what will I do as a big man?"

Liu Chan pondered for a while and replied: "My big man's main thing is to recuperate."

After speaking, Liu Chan noticed Liu Bei's tightly furrowed brows, and he could probably guess what he was thinking. Liu Chan continued: "Soochow defeated our army. The navy is not damaged, and the Eastern Wu is separated from the river, so the rebel Cao Wei must be unable to rush down for a while."

"Besides, no matter what the situation of Wei and Wu is in Jingzhou, our great man has lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. After a year of war, our great man's treasury is empty. The current time is to recuperate." Hearing that Liu Bei frowned release.

Liu Chan changed the topic, "But our army can send more than [-] soldiers to garrison Zigui. At the time of the Wei-Wu war, we threatened Sun Quan for a small profit and ordered Sun Wu to return our soldiers and their families from Jingchu. Sun Huan can be exchanged with him, such as Pan Jun, the governor of Jingzhou."

Listening to Liu Chan's eloquent talk, Liu Bei couldn't help but loosen his brows. Hearing the name Pan Jun, Liu Bei felt complicated emotions. Pan Jun is Jiang Wan's cousin. He was appointed by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to work in Jiangxia when he was 30 years old. At this time, he appointed him to be a great talent in governing the country, a great talent in governing the country, and adhering to the law.

"But, Pan Jun is a great talent in the country. Sun Huan, you can exchange the captured Eastern Wu soldiers with them for the soldiers and family members of our great Han, Jingchu, and their families. This can reassure the morale of our army!" Liu Bei stared happily. With Liu Chan.

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to cup his hands and said: "Pan Jun is a great talent in our Han Dynasty, but Ma Shizhong (Ma Liang) went south to Wuling to recruit Wuxi barbarians; now our army has withdrawn to Zigui. If you are worried about the safety of the horse servants, you can send Ma Dai and Miwei to lead the cavalry to rescue!"

Liu Bei slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "If it wasn't for what Gong Si said, I would have almost forgotten Ji Chang."

So he hurriedly summoned someone to order Ma Dai and Mi Wei to go south to Wuling to rescue Ma Liang.
