Chapter 5 Liu Biao is dead!

As they were talking, Xinye County was already in sight.

Luo Yuan had already seen a group of soldiers waiting here. From a distance, he saw a man in the lead, wearing silver armor and a white robe, holding a bright silver steel spear. Although his face could not be seen clearly, he could tell at a glance that he was handsome and majestic.

I guess that must be the famous Zhao Zilong throughout history.

The man next to Zhao Yun, although dressed like a Confucian scholar, had a tall and strong figure. Presumably, that was Xu Shu, who later entered Cao's camp without saying a word.

Thinking about Xu Shu's later fate, Luo Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

If we could help Liu Bei keep this person, perhaps the course of history would begin to reverse.

In a sense, it is regrettable that the later Ji Han Dynasty was short of talented people, and even people like Yang Yi were able to control everything.

These talented people who have been influential since the early Three Kingdoms period must not be let go!
But when he got closer, Luo Yuan discovered that there were some people in white clothes in the team!

Could something have happened?

This also surprised Luo Yuan.

According to history, no one died at this time worthy of such ceremony. Could it be that the butterfly effect of my arrival in this era occurred so quickly?
Sure enough, when they saw Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang just returned, although Xu Shu and Zhao Yun were very excited to go forward to greet them, the atmosphere outside the city was still a bit weird.

"My lord... these are the messengers from Xiangyang, reporting that Liu Jingsheng has passed away, and the ruler of Jingzhou will be succeeded by Young Master Liu Cong. Please go to Xiangyang to attend the funeral..."

Xu Shu said with some concern.

really!

Luo Yuan's heart sank!
Liu Biao died too early!

Moreover, Liu Cong probably had no good intentions when he asked Liu Bei to attend the funeral!
"You have had a hard journey, envoy. Please return to the city and rest for a while. We will reply after discussing with the lord."

Zhuge Liang did not give Liu Bei the opportunity to respond immediately. Instead, he spoke first and then gave everyone a look.

Both Xu Shu and Zhao Yun understood what he meant.

into the night...

In a secret room, sitting around the table were Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Luo Yuan.

It was because he had heard too many of Luo Yuan's clever ideas along the way that Liu Bei decided to let Luo Yuan attend such occasions.

Perhaps in such a desperate situation, this kid could give me some surprises.

"I've noticed that this young man following the lord and Kong Ming looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?"

Xu Shu was also surprised that Luo Yuan was here, and the Luo Yuan in front of him seemed somewhat familiar to him.

"Mr. Yuanzhi often comes to the thatched cottage to discuss world affairs with Mr. Wolong. I am just a book boy, so Mr. Wolong must have seen me."

Luo Yuan did not let Xu Shu be kept in the dark any longer and directly introduced himself.

And Xu Shu was also a little confused.

How could a book boy appear in such a confidential occasion?

"Yuanzhi, do you know that we invited Mr. Wolong here to prepare for an unexpected surprise? Although Luo Yuan was a bit of a loser, I have to say that he still has some surprising strategies."

Liu Bei smiled slightly and resolved Xu Shu's doubts.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Now Liu Bei is arguing about himself like this?
But think about it, these vicious plots given to me by the system are quite harmful.

"In this case, the situation is urgent, so I will speak directly," Xu Shu said after looking around, "We cannot go to Xiangyang this time. If the Cai family takes power, it may be disadvantageous to the lord!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but Liu Bei still looked hesitant.

"Liu Jingsheng treated me well when he was alive. Now that he has passed away, I would be heartless if I didn't even go to his funeral!"

Liu Bei beat his chest and stamped his feet, with tears even visible in the corners of his eyes.

I have to say, this big-eared thief always cries at the right time!
Sure enough, everyone present, except Luo Yuan, could not help but be moved. "My Lord, what we need to consider now is not only the issue of going to the funeral, but also the issue of whether we can run in time!"

Maintaining a calm mind, Luo Yuan still raised his own topic.

Whether it is his own ideas or the strategies given by the system, nothing has changed. Jingzhou is now a den of dragons and tigers!
"Liu Cong has taken the throne, and it is already imminent that he will surrender to Cao Cao. The best plan now is to take your wives, children, and the people of Xinye with you, and evacuate Xinye City before Cao Cao has time to react. If you can't take anything with you, burn it on the spot, and don't let Cao Cao get away with it!"

But this time, Luo Yuan's impassioned speech was not recognized by those present.

They had no aversion to retreat.

After all, Liu Bei has been wandering for half his life, and until today, he has run away more than once or twice.

But as it is now, it is hard to just leave without fighting before the battle even begins.

"Don't try to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige, kid. Look at me, Old Zhang, I'm going to poke a thousand transparent holes in that little Liu Cong!"

"Wide!"

Liu Bei felt a little annoyed and scolded Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei did not dare to disobey his elder brother and lowered his head in anger.

"Gongqi..." Zhuge Liang sighed softly, "Although you are smart, you don't know that in this chaotic world, there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done.

There are some things that we know are the best choice, but we have no choice.

If my lord flees without fighting this time, I am afraid that his reputation for benevolence will be greatly damaged.

From now on, the heroes would say that it was you who abducted the people of Xinye and marched eastward to join Sun Quan.

How will the lord deal with it then?"

As expected, it is Zhuge Liang.

These words touched Luo Yuan's heart.

Although the evil plan is good, we must also consider the situation.

The tide of history rolls forward, and sometimes we have to choose to go with it reluctantly.

In the end, everyone decided not to evacuate Xinye directly, but also not to let Liu Bei go deep into the tiger's den. Everyone in Xinye was ready to evacuate at any time, but they could not alert the enemy at will.

However, before leaving, seeing that there was no one around, Luo Yuan still called out to Xu Shu.

Seeing that Luo Yuanshen was acting mysterious, Xu Shu knew that this servant might have something important to tell him.

In Xu Shu's mind, this might be what Zhuge Liang wanted to tell him, but it was inconvenient for him to speak out loud, so he could only do it through Luo Yuan, his trusted servant.

"If you have any advice, please feel free to tell me."

Seeing Luo Yuan's serious expression, Xu Shu also put away his casual expression and asked seriously.

"I won't beat around the bush. I hope Mr. Yuanzhi will quickly tell your family, especially your mother, to pack up and evacuate Xinye overnight. Don't wait until Cao Cao's army arrives. If you don't have time to evacuate, you will be captured by them and lose your way!"

Although this was not a vicious plan, and the system would not reward him for telling it, Luo Yuan still couldn't bear to see Xu Shu, a talented person who could assist the king, being buried in the dust!

At this moment, Xu Shu's eyes became even more serious.

He knew in his heart that although Luo Yuan's words were a bit blunt, they made sense.

"Please keep these words in mind, think about it and take action soon!"

After saying this, Xu Shu bowed to Luo Yuan with a serious expression, then turned around and returned in the night.

Luo Yuan understood that Xu Shu had taken his words to heart.

And at this moment, the system's voice reappeared...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission! ]
