Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290 Liu Qi died of illness, first took charge of Jingzhou
Everyone came to the backyard, the room was full of medicine smell at the moment, Liu Qi was lying on the bed, his face was sallow and pale, and the pregnant concubine Wan'er next to him was crying bitterly.

Standing beside him were more than a dozen state government officials who had heard the news, as well as several doctors who had been recuperating Liu Qi's body all year round.

Liu Bei hurried over, came to Muta and asked with concern: "My dear brother, is this?"

Liu Qi turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Liu Bei with a slightly miserable smile.

His eyes were a little lax and cloudy. He was only in his forties, but his face was as old as seventy or eighty, and his head was full of black hair, which was almost gray at this moment.

The concubine Wan'er cried, "My husband has been in a coma for the past few days, and the doctor has also used medicine, but it hasn't improved. Today, I suddenly vomited blood again. But after vomiting blood, it seems that my body has recovered a little, and I am awake. I just wanted to take my husband out of bed for a walk, but I never expected it."

Back to the light?

This idea suddenly appeared in Shen Chen's heart.

Sure enough, Liu Qi's face seemed to be slightly flushed, and his spirit was not as sluggish as the previous few days, but he regained consciousness, and said to Liu Bei with a wry smile: "Brother, I'm afraid the deadline is coming, I told my brother a few days ago For the matter, please be sure to deal with it.”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "My dear brother, don't talk nonsense. Now that I have reported to the Ming court, the imperial court's imperial edict conferring on you as king of Chu should be on the way. This Jingzhou is still waiting for my virtuous brother to take care of it."

On the second day, the whole city was under martial law.

The doctor came over, felt Liu Qi's pulse, breathed again, the veins in the neck, the pulse was actually still beating, but it was already insignificant.

"Oh, Burry's departure makes me feel sad."

In the end, while responding in a daze, he slowly closed his eyes and his breathing calmed down, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zhuge Liang and Shen Chen are all friends with him.

Secondly, Liu Bei sent troops several times to help Liu Biao fight, which can be regarded as repaying Liu Biao's kindness for taking him in.

But Liu Bei has been comforting Liu Qi and persuading him to take a good rest, so he rejected Liu Qi's offer of Jingzhou for the second time.

Many people admired Liu Qi's kindness and went to the palace to express their condolences.

Later, when Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, the two became friends in need because of their similar interests and similar ages.

Liu Bei got up again and looked at the affairs of many state capitals. He still said with red eyes: "Everyone, Burui has gone, and people are inherently dead. The death of Burui is more important than Mount Tai. Please go back first, and let me set up a mourning hall for you. Bury is mourned."

Liu Qi responded again.

They chatted and laughed happily, chatted together, and even fell asleep when they fell asleep.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

"only!"

How can Liu Bei, who already values ​​feelings, accept this?
For a moment, mournful cries came from the entire room, and then more people came, and Liu Cong, who was detained, also came to the crowd, crying bitterly.

Liu Qi only felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and the drowsiness in his mind was getting more and more serious. The messy voices came from his ears, but he couldn't stop the feeling of wanting to fall asleep.

The journey has been arduous, and when it seems that they are about to succeed, the close comrades-in-arms have come to part.

So he has no relationship with Liu Biao.

"Brother."

"Brother, you must persevere, and you can't give up easily."

Seeing him getting weaker and weaker, Liu Bei was already in tears.

Liu Bei wandered in the north, like a bereaved dog, a rootless duckweed, wandering around, without a sense of security.

After waking up, he asked Liu Bei for the second time to let Jingzhou be given to him. He only hoped that Liu Bei could take good care of his unborn child and his concubine Wan'er.

The sky gradually dimmed.

Shen Chen frowned and said, "Jiangling's letter at this time may be due to changes in Bashu."

It's been a long time.

Liu Qi's voice became softer, and he said softly: "It's a pleasure to meet my brother. I also admire his kindness. With my brother's help, I was able to pull Jingzhou back from the cliff. It's already very good. But, I can no longer accompany my brother to go on. In the future, I will ask my brother to bear it all."

I also once watched flowers together in spring and the moon in autumn, and watched snow in winter with cool wind in summer.

"Ah."

Liu Bei said: "The younger brother has gone, but his wife and children still need my care, and there are two younger brothers. You can handle the funeral."

The voice has become weaker and weaker.

"Yes."

Many officials in state capitals and descendants of aristocratic families stepped down one after another.

Many people even fainted from crying, and Wan'er was also heartbroken, and was sent to the side room by the maid to recuperate.

Shen Chen remained silent.

"I"

All of a sudden, a large backlog of business affairs was on his body, which made him very bored. He propped his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Lord."

Maybe one hour, maybe two hours.

The whole city was under martial law, and the city gates were closed at night, and the envoys could not come in, so they had to be informed by the city gate guards.

Shen Chen ordered the army to patrol the entire city, and the palace was guarded by guards everywhere to strictly control the order.

Zhuge Liang said: "Zhou Lin sent people to inform us that Luocheng is surrounded by Zhang Lu's army, and Luocheng is in danger."

Many people not only sympathized with his experience, but also liked his generosity, so his critical illness is very sad.

but now.

Liu Qi stretched out his right hand and called out with difficulty.

The relationship between the two is very good.

Liu Qi's character is actually the same as Liu Bei's, he is a kind person.

"Ah."

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, the great man's foundation needs you to revive it. My wife and children, and my two incompetent younger brothers also need you. For the sake of the great man and me, you should do it."

Especially from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches, from Jiangzhou, that is, from Chongqing to Jiangling in later generations, it takes a day or two, so they have been paying attention to the latest developments in the battle between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.

But Liu Qi lived a more transparent life than anyone else.

"Report!"

His chest was still heaving slightly, but it gradually calmed down.Until... I was completely out of breath.

"Lord."

Liu Bei sighed, raised his head and said, "Now that Jingzhou is in ruins, and I have lost my best friend, how can I sleep peacefully?"

The mourning hall was set up in the main hall of the Chu Palace, and the entire Chu Palace was covered with plain onyx and white sails.

"think"

Liu Bei, Chen Chen, Zhuge Liang, Wan'er, and other state capitals were engaged, and they all called for it.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at the doctor, but the doctor shook his head, so he had no choice but to hold Liu Qi's hand with a sad face, and said, "My dear brother."

This is equivalent to entrusting a wife to offer a child.

"Brother, don't sleep, do you remember? That year we were hunting together outside the city, and my third brother wanted to shoot a pregnant doe, but you stopped him."

He drank, ate, and fought with them.

"Ah."

Liu Qi said softly: "Brother, this is the third time I've told you about this matter. Many state capitals present are witnesses, so don't refuse this time."

Liu Qi is no longer a historical symbol, he is a living person of flesh and blood.

But there was an endless stream of people coming, and the palace was crowded with people for several days in a row.

Although Shen Chen knew that Liu Qi would die of illness at this time in history.

Now that he is seriously ill again, he feels that his time is approaching, and he has to entrust Jingzhou to him for the third time.

"Eldest son!"

"There is General Lauzuo."

Looking at the bright red blood, many state capitals, as well as Liu Bei, Chen Chen, and Zhuge Liang, were all uncomfortable.

There were soft sobs around, not just Wan'er and Liu Bei, everyone was crying.

"The last time there was news from Bashu, it was ten days ago."

Sorrows resounded through the sky.

In the past, he was very prestigious in the state capital, but because Cai Mao Kuaiyue and Mrs. Cai took power and made troubles, they were excluded from the power center.

"My eldest son loves the food from my restaurant the most. If he falls asleep, he won't be able to eat it in the future."

He is the best friend of Liu Bei, Shen Chen, and Zhuge Liang, and the most trustworthy comrade-in-arms.

"Yes, sir."

Liu Bei took Liu Cong, Liu Xiu, Wan'er and other family members to thank him all the time. It was not until the evening of the fifth day that he finally felt free.

"only!"

Shen Chen walked over.

Shen Chen was also full of sadness.

Not only are their personalities close, but their experiences are also very similar.

Zhuge Liang and Shen Chen walked into the hall, saw Liu Bei was exhausted, and persuaded: "My lord, I haven't closed my eyes for two days, let's take a rest."

Friends finally to parting time.

Liu Bei sat on the ground slumped.

Zhuge Liang had already wiped away his tears, knelt and sat beside him and waited quietly.

After Liu Bei came out of the mourning hall with his tired body, he went to the side hall to rest, and at the same time he had to deal with a lot of official duties.

Before Huang Zu died of illness, Liu Qi was hit hard and fell into a coma for two days.

Although Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Yizhou, because of the relationship between the Yangtze River, the communication speed between the two places is actually very fast.

"Brother."

Liu Bei hurriedly greeted Zhuge Liang and Shen Chen.

Liu Qi had originally entrusted him with all the affairs of Jingzhou. This time, his last words were witnessed by many officials in the state government. He became the lord of Jingzhou justifiably.

After Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, they huddled together to keep warm, and finally defeated Cai Mao Kuaiyue together, and regained Jingzhou.

But now that this time has really come, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Under the oppression of Cai Mao Kuaiyue and Mrs. Cai, Liu Qi, as the eldest son of Liu Biao, lived a life of trepidation. He was always in fear, fearing that he would be eliminated by Mrs. Cai and others.

Liu Bei looked at the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, tears came down, and he said with trembling hands, "But how can I."

Hearing this sentence, everyone present was extremely moved.

Soon Zhuge Liang found servants and maids to scrub Liu Qi's body first, and then prepare for the funeral.

When Liu Biao died, he was not very sad, but slightly emotional.

He forced a smile, and said in a weaker voice: "It's my good fortune to know you all. Now Jingzhou needs a virtuous person, please treat me like me, treat my brother, serve him, so convenient It is the luck of Jingzhou."

After another quarter of an hour, the doctor couldn't feel the response of his pulse at all. He stood up slowly, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "General Zuo, His Royal Highness, the eldest son, has passed away."

After Liu Bei was sad, he looked at the room full of wailing, and then saw many people fainted on the ground. He remembered Liu Qi's entrustment, and said softly, "Kong Ming."

Zhuge Liang clapped his hands in response, then got up and backed out.

Shen Chen pondered and said: "The information gap between us and Bashu is as long as ten days. In just ten days, there may be earth-shaking changes in Bashu."

Liu Qi's eyes became cloudy, and he murmured softly, "I want to see my child."

"But."

Hearing this, Liu Bei said, "Let him come over immediately."

Liu Bei ordered: "The whole city is under martial law for the past few days. You are in charge of the guards of the Chu Palace. If there are people willing to come to the palace to express their condolences, don't stop them. But order must be maintained, and there must be no chaos."

Because after so many years, he is no longer a historical figure who only appeared a few times in history.

"General Left."

"I also ask General Zuo to express my condolences."

Shen Chen said: "Uncle Huang, now that the eldest son is gone, only Uncle Huang is left as the backbone in Jingzhou. If Uncle Huang is also exhausted, then who else in Jingzhou can be the master?"

"By the way, Kong Ming and Xiaoqing are here. Come quickly and stay with Bo Rui."

The two came out more and more, came to Liu Qi's log, and called out softly: "Young Master, Young Master?"

"Husband, woo woo woo!"

Shen Chen withdrew.

"Young master, don't fall asleep."

"only."

Liu Qi has always been a gentle gentleman in Jingzhou, known for his generosity and benevolence.

"Husband!"

With Wan'er's last cry.

Although Liu Biao took him in, but when Liu Biao proclaimed himself emperor, he seriously damaged the authority of Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty whom he was loyal to, so he rejected Liu Biao from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone realized that Liu Qi was really sick and died, and everyone dropped their eyes.

But Liu Qi is different.

Liu Qi responded, seeming to have exhausted his strength, and said, "Yeah, I can't sleep, I have to stay with my wife and children."

Every memory is vivid and lingering.

"Xiaoqing."

"There are also Yuanzhi, Zhouping, Gongwei, Guangyuan and others."

Liu Bei said again: "You said, "The ancients did not kill Huangkou in war, and did not get a second hair, let alone a pregnant elk." Now that you are gone today, why would you have the heart to leave their mother and child behind?"

At this time, someone outside the door suddenly reported: "A messenger from Jiangling came overnight, and they are now outside the city."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I see, I will take a good rest."

"Could it be that Luo City was broken?"

Zhuge Liang also said: "We have already sent someone to invite the Second Young Master, don't you want to see the Second Young Master?"

With red eyes, Shen Chen said so while wiping away tears.

Liu Bei held Liu Qi's hand tightly, patted the back of his hand and said, "Everything will be fine, and your baby will be born this summer, and you can see your baby with your own eyes."

The soldiers hurried away.

All the officials and common people who came to express their condolences were accompanied by soldiers throughout the process, with exits and entrances. After offering incense and condolences, they left as soon as possible.

Both are insecure people.

Liu Qi coughed hard, and Wan'er hurried over with a handkerchief. After coughing, the handkerchief was covered with blood.

All the people knew the news of Liu Qi's death.

The latest situation is that Zhang Lu is still attacking Luocheng and has not taken it yet, but now that Jiangling is urgent, it is hard to say that Luocheng has already fallen.

In history, Liu Bei captured Luocheng, surrounded Chengdu and Liu Zhang surrendered.

But now no one knows if he will do the same, so Shen Chen is a little anxious, afraid that if they go late, Zhang Lu has already obtained the entire Yizhou, and the difficulty for them to attack Yizhou will increase exponentially.

Fortunately, the messenger came in quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report, Yizhou battle report. Zhang Lu broke Luocheng and surrounded Chengdu. Liu Zhang is still holding on, but the military adviser said that he might not last long, so let Bei come to ask General Zuo, should we immediately send troops to attack Yizhou?"
