Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 275 The Death of Liu Biao
riverside.

Liu Pan looked at the rolling river, feeling extremely anxious.There was a big river in the front, and Cao Cao was chasing after him, and I sent people to search around for a long time, but I didn't find a ferry. Is it true that I am really going to die here today!
"General, look, there is a boat!" The soldier next to him yelled, Liu Pan raised his eyes to look, and saw in the distance, a mighty fleet clamoring for him to come over. Looking at the flag, it was Liu Qi's men!

"It's the eldest son, we are saved!"

As the fleet approached, a young man walked out of the leading boat. He was about 24 or [-] years old. He was eight feet tall, with delicate features, and held a goose feather fan in his hand. This man was known to Liu Pan. , I heard that he followed Liu Qi to Jiangxia a few days ago.

"My lord, General Liu, hurry up and get on board!" Zhuge Liang walked over cheerfully and said to Liu Pan.

Liu Pan has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and he also knows the way of the family.Those big aristocratic families would not put their eggs in one basket. I heard that Zhuge Liang's eldest brother, Zhuge Jin, took refuge in Jiangdong Sun Quan. It is not surprising that Zhuge Liang took refuge in Liu Qi.

When Liu Biao woke up, he was already lying in Jiangxia City, surrounded by a lot of people.Liu Biao went over it in detail, and the leader was his eldest son Liu Qi.

Liu Biao immediately understood that this place must be Jiang Xia, and he was safe.

……

Liu Biao lay quietly on the bed, there was no one around. When those people saw Liu Biao woke up, they knew that Liu Biao was fine and just needed to rest, so they all backed out.

The door was opened, and a person walked in from the outside. Liu Biao looked up and saw that this person was Zhuge Liang!
Zhuge Liang came to Liu Biao with a bowl of medicine in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, this is the medicine for peace and tranquility, and it was brewed by Liang himself!"

Liu Biao nodded, brought it over and drank it down.

This medicine is not bitter, but has a hint of sweetness.After Liu Biao finished drinking, he immediately felt much more at ease.

At this time, Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, now Cao Cao has occupied Nanjun, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Liang have all surrendered to Cao Cao, and the Jingzhou navy has also fallen into Cao Cao's hands. Although I have a navy in Jiangxia City, it is not enough. Compared with Cai Mao's navy! Now the situation is critical, and the four Jingnan counties will fall into Cao Cao's hands in a short time!"

Liu Biao nodded and asked, "Kong Ming, what's your plan?"

Among them, Zhuge Liang is talented, Liu Biao already knew this, but Liu Biao has always thought that Zhuge Liang is still a young man, even if he has some skills, it is mediocre. .

But since Zhuge Liang followed Liu Qi, Jiangxia was managed very well, and Liu Biao gradually realized that this young Zhuge Liang was very talented, so Liu Biao asked Zhuge Liang if he had any countermeasures.

"My lord, I have already thought of a countermeasure! For the present plan, I will join Sun Quan in the East and fight against Cao Cao together!"

"Sun Quan? That's a good idea! But Sun Quan..." Liu Biao said hesitantly.

When Sun Jian left Luoyang privately with the Chuanguo Yuxi, Yuan Shu told Liu Biao about Sun Jian, so Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to intercept it.Then there was the matter of Sun Jian's death.

Although both Huang Zu and Su Fei were killed by Sun Ce, for the Sun family, Sun Ce's Liu Biao was the culprit, but Liu Biao had soldiers and generals under him, so the Sun family has never troubled Liu Biao, but that doesn't mean the Sun family doesn't Remember to hate Liu Biao.

If he wanted to join forces with Sun Quan, Sun Quan would be the first person who would not want to. No one would be willing to join forces with his father-killing enemy!

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "My lord, this matter has been arranged long ago, my lord, don't worry!"

"Oh? Sun Quan has always regarded me as an enemy who killed my father. How could he unite with us?"

"My lord is right. With my lord around, Sun Quan will definitely not ally with me. But if my lord is gone, then with my sharp tongue, I will be able to convince Sun Quan!"

"What? Could it be you!"

"My lord, for the sake of my son's great cause, I can only wrong you!" Zhuge Liang bowed to Liu Biao and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang lit the incense burner next to him.

When the fragrance came, Liu Biao suddenly felt a little drowsiness in his heart. Liu Biao opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all. At this moment, Liu Biao suddenly remembered that Zhuge Liang gave him a bowl of medicine just now, and Liu Biao immediately understood everything!
Liu Biao closed his eyes unwillingly...

……

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Biao "died of illness" in Jiangxia!
A month later, Zhuge Liang crossed the river to Jiangdong!

Liu Biao's death directly affected the battle situation in Jingzhou. After hearing of Liu Biao's death, Cao Cao gave up his attack on Jiangxia and sent troops to Jingnan instead. With the help of Jingzhou navy, Cao Cao's army quickly gained a firm foothold in Jingnan heel.It seems that it is only a matter of time before Cao Cao completely occupies Jingnan.

Chang'an City.

The life of Emperor Xian was not so easy. Since Liu Bei left, Emperor Xian has mastered the real power of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

But although Emperor Xian was a little clever, he was not the material to rule the world. More importantly, when Liu Bei left, he took away most of the talents.

Now most of the remaining under Emperor Xian are officials left over from the time of Emperor Ling, or great Confucians like Kong Rong, plus those from Han Sui, it seems that there are a lot of talents, but none of them can be used to great effect.

Needless to say, a great Confucian like Kong Rong, speaking knowledge is okay, if it is to govern the country and the world, it is naturally not that material; Han Sui is a warrior, although he was named a general, but the way of governing the country is different from leading soldiers to fight; The officials left behind by Emperor Ling were naturally even more unbearable.

These officials from the former dynasty can only intrigue and fight for power, but they don't know anything about the way of governing the country, otherwise Emperor Ling wouldn't have made people miserable.

In the huge city of Chang'an, although there are all kinds of officials, the efficiency of handling affairs is very low.Regarding this point, the young Emperor Xian didn't care much, because now Emperor Xian was busy gathering the power in his hands.

Emperor Xian wanted to deprive Diao Han Sui of his military power, but at the same time, Emperor Xian also knew that Han Sui's military power was not so easy to lose.This Han Sui is not the same as Ma Teng and Liu Bei. Both Ma Teng and Liu Bei follow the orthodox feudal thinking, a ruler is a ruler, and a minister is a minister.

But Han Sui was different.Han Sui lived in the Qiang area since he was a child. Although he was well-read in poetry and books, he still had a strong Qiang people in his bones. Moreover, Han Sui had rebelled in his early years, so he did not dare to act rashly towards Han Sui. I'm afraid that if I don't handle it well, I will force Han Sui back.

At this time, Han Sui was plotting something with a young man.
