Soldiers come to the world

At nightfall, Zhao Yun hurried into Liu Bei's room, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, are you looking for a subordinate?"

Liu Bei nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that you have gone to train the horse. How is it? The horsepower is still strong!"

Of course Liu Bei understood that Liu Jing gave him the horse as a foil. His real purpose was to give the white BMW to Zhao Yun, but he was afraid that Zhao Yun would pass it on to him, so he blocked himself with a Chixia horse first. To say that he is taking care of his own face is better to say that he is considering Zhao Yun's situation, which can be described as well-intentioned.

This shows that in Liu Jing's heart, he is far inferior to Zhao Yun. Although this matter has nothing to do with Liu Bei, it still makes Liu Bei feel uncomfortable.

He has never been very happy about the deep friendship between Zhao Yun and Liu Jing, and he has only endured it for the sake of deeper plots, but today Liu Jing favored one another in front of so many people, which made Liu Bei lose face a bit.

He brought Zhao Yun here, and wanted to reprimand him, but he swallowed the words again, still smiling and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so grateful. It has been more than two years, and he has always remembered your kindness to him." , it's not easy!"

Zhao Yun bit his lip and said: "Although he has kindness and righteousness, his subordinates must consider loyalty first. The subordinates dare not accept the white horse he gave as a gift. In fact, the subordinates are going out to train horses for the lord."

Liu Bei chuckled, waved his hand and said, "You're overwhelmed, it's just a horse, since he gave it to you, you can accept it, this is also Mr. Jing's intention, if you give it to me again, you won't give him face. , you are a general, war horses are very important to you, just accept them! I have no other intentions."

Zhao Yun shook his head, "The subordinate is a minister, how can he accept the horse at the same time as the lord? This is a disorderly manner, and the subordinate dare not accept it. If the lord does not accept it, the subordinate will return the horse to Mr. Jing."

Liu Bei sighed, "It seems that I am troubled, all right! This horse is my gift to you, you can accept it!"

Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord, for giving me the horse!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Zhao Yun retreated, and Liu Bei paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He knew that Zhao Yun was a little insincere, and he could see clearly that when Zhao Yun was receiving the horse, his eyes were full of gratitude and joy. Ma, this made Liu Bei very annoyed.

He also knows that Zhao Yun is very loyal to him at other times, but when it comes to Liu Jing, Zhao Yun's loyalty is discounted. He can see that Zhao Yun regards Liu Jing as a brother, but deliberately conceals it in front of him. Mention, will he return the horse to Liu Jing?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was deeply worried. Now that he and Liu Jing had no conflicts, once he and Liu Jing had conflicts, or a war broke out, what would Zhao Yun's position be?This question has troubled Liu Bei for two years, and today he is deeply confused again.

At this moment, a soldier reported at the door: "General Qi, Mr. Qi, please see me!"

Liu Bei was refreshed. For him, Liu Qi was much more important than Zhao Yun. He came to Wuchang, in fact, for Liu Qi. Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Please come in!"

After a while, Liu Qi hurried into the room, knelt down and bowed, "Nephew Liu Qi pays respects to uncle!"

Liu Bei quickly helped him up, "Young Master Qi please get up quickly."

In the past year or so, although Liu Bei has not seen Liu Qi, they have been exchanging letters, especially after Jian Yong became the head of South County Bo, it is more convenient for the communication between the two, and they have established a kind of relationship. tacit agreement.

The two sat down, Liu Qi couldn't help feeling anxious and said: "It's absurd for my nephew to act as a prostitute according to my uncle's suggestion, which has aroused my father's anger. Mr. Kuai told me clearly that it is unlikely that my father will make me his heir. I also understand that this time when my father celebrates his birthday, he ordered me to guard Nanjun and not go to Xiangyang, I am afraid that my father has already made a decision in his heart, what should I do?"

Liu Qi's absurd prostitution was not his intention, but Liu Bei's plan. Although Liu Qi was reluctant, but out of trust and respect for Liu Bei, he did it, but he didn't expect such serious consequences, and even established a son. Hopelessness made him panic.

He has been suppressing this matter in his heart all the time, and when he saw Liu Bei today, he couldn't help but pour it out.

Liu Bei naturally knew it well, he smiled slightly and said: "My lord, don't worry, in fact, even if you are diligent and self-disciplined, you still can't compete with Mr. Cong, can Chong Er beat Shen Sheng back then?

With the full support of the Cai family, and the secret assistance of Madam Cai, plus your father is old and no longer as smart as he used to be, sooner or later he will make Mr. Cong his heir, you can't compete. "

Liu Qi lowered his head, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, "But I always feel useless in my heart."

"Mr. Qi, why do you feel this way? One setback makes you decadent. This is not a mind to do great things. I have failed many times in my life, but I have never lost confidence. Mr. Qi, you have to learn from Uncle Wei." ah!"

Liu Qi came to his senses, stood up and bowed deeply, "Nephew knows he's wrong!"

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hands, "Sit down!"

When Liu Qi sat down, he said meaningfully: "I let the young master do ridiculous things just to confuse the state shepherd and the Cai family, thinking that the young master is a useless person. If the young master tries his best to rule in Nanjun and train soldiers and horses, do you think the state pastor will Will you two brothers kill each other in the future?"

Liu Qi nodded silently, his uncle was right, if his father passed on the throne to his second brother and found that he was fighting hard, he would never allow the civil war in Jingzhou, and he would definitely transfer himself away from Nanjun. His absurdity could indeed confuse his father.

Seeing that he understood, Liu Bei smiled and said, "I have talked with your father. Although I didn't say it clearly, I found that your father is also very contradictory. On the one hand, he doesn't want the civil war in Jingzhou and brothers to kill each other. Afraid that you have no foundation, Mr. Cong can easily kill you, so he is determined to put you in Nanjun. In this case, your attitude is very important. If you grasp this speed and firmly control Nanjun, you will wisdom."

"My nephew doesn't know what to do?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Actually, you have done a good job. You offered to return to Xiangyang to take up a post. This is a wise move. It will make your father feel that you don't care about Nanjun. At the same time, he will not let you return to Xiangyang, so as to avoid the outbreak of infighting between brothers." , in the future, it will be no problem.”

Liu Qi pondered for a long time, and then said: "If I am blindly stupid, what will happen to the army? How can I control the army?"

Liu Bei squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This requires the help of external force. If the young master trusts me, I can recommend Yun Chang to help the young master."

Liu Qi sighed, "It's good to have Yun Chang's help, but I'm afraid my father won't agree."

"It doesn't matter. You can write to Zhou Mu to persuade him not to trust me too much, and to beware of Liu Bei's wolf ambition. In this case, I recommend Yun Chang to go south to Yiling, named Junhou, and actually train for you. Although your Zhang Yan is Cai Mao's subordinate, he is actually a briber, you can use a lot of money to seal his mouth, so that nothing will go wrong."

Liu Qi was moved in his heart, and said with tears, "Uncle is so kind, how can I ask my nephew to repay you?"

"Nephew, don't worry that you won't be able to repay me. I also said in the letter that when nephew sits in Jingzhou Mu, you can send troops to help me take Nanyang and Shangyong. I want to take Hanzhong as my foundation. In fact, I will help nephew Just helping myself."

Liu Qi nodded heavily, "Liu Qi will never let his uncle down, and will definitely send troops to help!"

. . . . . . . . .

Zhao Yun felt a little uncomfortable today. He knew that the lord had become suspicious of him. Since two years ago, the lord had disliked him and Liu Jing too deeply. For this reason, he also deliberately indifferent to the relationship with Liu Jing. For more than a year, he almost He has nothing to do with Liu Jing.

And the last time the lord went to Changsha for medical treatment and passed by Chaisang, it was the lord who asked him to visit Liu Jing, including supporting the battle of Chaisang, which was also the lord's arrangement, but today the lord started to be dissatisfied with him again because of a horse.

The lord clearly knew that it was Liu Jing who gave up his life to save him in Runan, and he also knew that he should repay the kindness of others, but why couldn't he tolerate himself treating Liu Jing as his younger brother?Could it be that if I regard Liu Jing as my younger brother, I will betray him?

Zhao Yun couldn't help complaining to Liu Bei. He felt that Liu Bei didn't understand him, and he didn't even believe him. Zhao Yun is also in his 30s this year. He has fought in the South and the North for many years. He hasn't married yet, and he hasn't had a good day following Liu Bei. He spent most of his days fleeing in defeat, and he would not complain about these, and followed Liu Bei loyally.

But Zhao Yun is human after all, and when his loyalty is not understood, and even the lord suspects him, one can imagine the frustration in his heart.

Unknowingly, Zhao Yun walked to the city wall. The guards all knew him and did not stop him. Zhao Yun slowly went up to the top of the city. He stood by the female wall, staring at the dark river in the distance, and looked to the far north again. , has been looking at the hometown.

He thought of his parents, his wife and children who died tragically in the rebellion, and his master who had passed away. A feeling of loneliness that he had never felt before filled his heart. Before he knew it, Zhao Yun was in tears. flow all over the face.

"Mom!" His voice was hoarse, and he called out to his long-dead mother in a low voice.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

"What! You want to go back to your hometown to visit your parents' grave?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun kneeling on the ground in surprise, unable to say a word for a long time.

"This subordinate dreamed of my mother last night. It was my mother who urged me to go back to sacrifice. This subordinate has not visited my parents' graves for ten years, and begged my lord to allow me to go back to my hometown."

Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and then sighed, "I was wrong today, I apologize to you!"

"No!"

Zhao Yun quickly shook his head, "That matter was wrong with my subordinates. I shouldn't have received horses. Now that the lord gave it to me, my subordinates are already at ease. The subordinates want to go back to their hometown to visit the grave has nothing to do with this matter. When I was in Xinye, I had That's the idea."

Liu Bei stared at him silently for a while, then asked, "Then when will you be back?"

"Two months sooner, three months later, the subordinates will definitely come back."

Liu Bei was helpless, he prided himself on his filial piety, how could he not allow his subordinates to visit his mother's grave, so he nodded, "Okay! You take two brothers with you, and be careful all the way."

Zhao Yun nodded silently, "Subordinates will be careful, thank you, my lord, I'm leaving tonight, please tell Mr. Jing that I can't attend his wedding, I'm very sorry!"

"You go! I will tell you."

Zhao Yun bowed, and slowly backed away. Liu Bei watched him walk away, feeling as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors in his heart, filled with all kinds of flavors.
