  Chapter 1477 Liu Jingsheng's worries

Liu Biao is not very comfortable these days. I don’t know why. Recently, he often feels dizzy and has some slight pains. He can’t read government orders for a long time. He didn't really care about it, until today when he got excited and pulled up Cai's hair, and saw his own not very clear shadow in the bronze mirror, his heart skipped a beat.

   It turns out that I am already old.

   In the mirror, Cai's complexion is still fine and smooth, and the black hair is soft and shiny, but his own appearance is already covered with wrinkles on his face, and his hair is mostly gray...

   old, old.

  If there are heroes in the world, you should fear the time and flow eastward.

   "Lang Jun..." Cai felt that Liu Biao was in a daze and didn't know what was going on, so she asked softly, "Lang Jun, what's wrong?"

   "..." Liu Biao came back to his senses, arranged Cai's hair well, and then fixed it with a hairpin, smiled slightly, and said, "You can look at me and smile, Zi Muyu is kind and graceful..."

   "Lang Jun..." Mrs. Cai was a little shy, "Come to make fun of my family again..."

   "Haha, haha..." Liu Biao laughed to cover up the panic in his heart. No one can share this fear, no one can share it, no one can resolve it, and no one can escape it.

   "According to the calculation... a certain person came to Jingzhou..." Liu Biao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that it has been a long time..."

   Mrs. Cai didn't understand, nodded and said: "Cong'er is seven years old..."

   "Yes..." Liu Biao turned his head, not wanting to look at himself in the mirror anymore, walked aside, and said, "How is Cong'er's studies recently?"

   Speaking of her own children, Cai is also similar to most mothers in later generations, wishing to show off every advantage of the children, "Conger is already learning from Dayu Mo..."

"Oh?" Hearing that his child has made progress, Liu Biao couldn't help showing some smiles, even though he followed the policy of strict and strict discipline, and nodded. I don’t want to be obscene in pleasure...Da Yumo has a lot of deep meanings, and it’s better to understand it carefully..."

   "Lang Jun said..." Mrs. Cai naturally wouldn't break Liu Biao's mind, and replied in a low voice.

   "Well, how is Qi'er?" Liu Biao asked again.

   Liu Cong was born to the Cai family, but Liu Qi was not born to Liu Biao's ex-wife, who was eight years older than Liu Cong. In these years, in addition to Liu Cong, the Cai family also gave birth to Liu Xiu, and the year before last, a daughter of the Liu family who was still in her infancy, so she was also respected by Liu Biao, and her position in the Liu family was firmly established. Could not be firmer.

  After all, in this era, a good female monarch is a female monarch who can flourish.

   "Qi'er?" Mrs. Cai replied, "Should have gone hunting in the northern outskirts of the city..."

  After hearing what Mrs. Cai said, Liu Biao couldn't help but frowned slightly. Compared with Liu Cong, Liu Qi doesn't like reading very much, and naturally he doesn't sit still very much. He either goes hunting or plays, and rarely has the intention to sit down and study hard.

   Mrs. Cai took a quick glance at Liu Biao's expression, then lowered her head without showing any abnormal expression.

  Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "A certain person has gone to the front hall... If you are late, let someone send you to the front hall. There are heavy political affairs these days, so I won't be with you..."

   "Only..." Mrs. Cai responded, and then said, "Mr. Lang also needs to pay attention to his body, don't be too tired..."

   "Understood..." Liu Biao was silent for a moment, then walked forward. Tired? What is not tiring? Sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping, although refreshing for a while, but in the end you will become a dead soul under the knife of others!

  Cao Cao triumphed all the way, Liu Biao was also very hesitant.

   On the one hand, the newly expanded territory needs to be consolidated; on the other hand, the deployment and expenditure of military, political and financial materials; and another very important factor is that Liu Biao feels that Cao Cao is becoming more and more threatening...

   This threat is increasing day by day.

  Beside the couch, who among ordinary people would like to sleep with the tiger?

  But if you want to get rid of the tiger, you must be careful, otherwise you will be eaten by the tiger instead, which is not good. Although the problem of General Fei Qian who conquered the west is not small, firstly, the successful experience of the pre-Qin period may not be replicated by Fei Qian, and secondly, the strategy of long-distance and short-term attack is not only used by Qin, but also a very important one for Liu Biao. Strategy.

  So Liu Biao had to worry about a lot, and it was not easy at all.

But for Liu Qi, he doesn't know anything about his father Liu Biao's various problems, or for Liu Qi, even if he knows, he will think that these problems are not important. What is important is that he hopes that Liu Biao can give him More love, instead of scolding, blaming, and teaching when meeting each other...

  Liu Qi doesn't understand why Liu Cong can read a few books and get Liu Biao's praise, but he also reads in front of Liu Biao, but always only blames him!

Why?

why!

  Liu Qi doesn't understand what love means, nor does he understand Liu Biao's anxiety and worry hidden under his scowling face. He just keeps circling a question in his mind, why, why can't he get his father's love?

  He lost his mother, although the relationship with Cai is not bad, after all, whatever he needs, Cai does well. There are brocade clothes, money, and maids. As long as he opens his mouth, even Liu Qi doesn't need to open his mouth. The Cai family has already done it safely, and it is not bad at all. Under such circumstances, Liu Qi can't tell what the Cai family has. No, what did you do wrong...

However, under Cai's thoughtfulness and preparation, Liu Qi can feel a deep sense of distance. Under Cai's smile, Liu Qi feels cold. However, no one can express this feeling, no one can understand , even his father Liu Biao couldn't.

Liu Qi wanted to attract the attention of his father Liu Biao, but every time he attracted attention, he would be reprimanded, and then he would do this and that. Over time, Liu Qi no longer looked at Liu Biao expectantly, but Liu Biao went Wherever Liu Biao is, he will not go there. Wherever Liu Biao is, he will not be there.

   "Here!" Liu Qi opened his bow and shot an arrow, hitting a wild pheasant on the tree, and immediately burst out laughing. The hound at the feet rushed out like the wind, then brought the wild pheasant back, put it at Liu Qi's feet, and stuck out its tongue to claim credit.

"Hahaha, good dog, good dog!" Liu Qi put away his longbow, then rubbed the dog's head, "Go back and reward you with meat!" Turning his head to look, he felt that his hunting was almost done this time, so he greeted Several attendants began to return.

  When he arrived at Xiangyang City Gate, Liu Qi suddenly hesitated. Do you want to give Liu Biao a copy of the prey you hunted? If he gave it away, wouldn't it mean that he told Liu Biao without asking himself, and went out to hunt again?

  Liu Qi raised his head, looked at Xiangyang City Gate, and frowned. He found that as long as he left Xiangyang City, he seemed to be happy no matter what he did, but when he returned to Xiangyang, all the happiness turned into unhappiness.

   "Forget it!" Liu Qi patted his horse into the city impatiently, not to send it off! Saved another reprimand!

  Above the main hall of Jingzhou Mufu Yamen, a servant stepped forward to the hall, and then whispered twice to the guard Liu Biao in front of the hall...

   "What's the matter?" Liu Biao glanced at it, and then turned his gaze back to the document in hand.

   "Report to my lord..." The guard reported, "Mr. Shaolang has returned to the mansion..."

   "Oh? Are you back?" Liu Biao didn't look up, "Why don't you come to see X?"

   "..." The guard was silent for a moment, and then said, "The servant said that he went directly to the back door and did not go into the main hall..."

   Liu Biao gave a pause, then put down the document in his hand, his gray beard trembled slightly, "...Got it... let's go..."

  Morning and evening peace!

  This rebel!

   Didn’t even do the most basic thing? !

  Liu Biao took a few deep breaths to keep his emotions from showing, then put down the document in his hand, and said to Kuai Liang, "Zirou, Liu Yizhou's request, what can you do?"

  In the past two days, besides his own and his family's problems, Liu Biao is worrying about Liu Zhang's affairs. Liu Zhang's envoy has already arrived in Xiangyang, earnestly asking for Liu Biao's assistance. To be honest, Liu Biao is really tempted, but it is not an easy task to browse through Badong and then enter Sichuan and Sichuan.

"If you can cross Yizhou, you can get salt, iron, and copper, which will be very beneficial..." Kuai Liang put down the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "Besides, the lord of Yizhou is weak and incompetent. It can be eaten away gradually, and in time, the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu can be controlled, sincerity is the foundation of hegemony..."

"However, the mountain roads in Sichuan and Shushan are difficult and difficult to enter and exit. This is the first one. The second thing is that Liu Yizhou invited the lord to enter Sichuan to use the power of the lord to resist the Brazilian incident..." Kuai Liang glanced at Liu Biao, and then said, "If Therefore, the lord’s march into Sichuan and Shu is no different from...Pang Degong, Huang Gong’s place..." Kuailiang Balabara said a lot, but he didn’t say anything. He just stated the pros and cons. As for the judgment, Liu Biao still has to do it himself.

   Kuai Liang has followed Liu Biao for many years, so he naturally knows Liu Biao's character. Liu Biao looks friendly on the outside, but in fact he is very headstrong. If Kuai Liang decides everything for him, Liu Biao will not say anything on the surface, but he will definitely be extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so this level is just right. .

   "Hmm..." Liu Biao sighed heavily, put his hands on his head, and rubbed his temples on both sides. What Kuai Liang said was exactly what Liu Biao was worried about, so Liu Biao couldn't even sleep soundly at night for the past two days, and his head often had a dull pain.

   It is not wrong that Jingxiang is a land of fish and rice, but the problem is also here, there is only fish and rice. Fish and rice can feed people and support people, but it is not good for raising soldiers! Soldiers need copper and iron, salt, leather, horses, and many things, but here in Jingxiang, sorry, there is only fish and rice.

  There are copper mines in Poyang, but that belongs to the Sun family's territory, which is separated not only from Jiangling, but also Jiangxia and Lujiang. Therefore, Yizhou, which has the benefits of copper, iron and salt, actually asked Liu Biao to send troops and flirted with Liu Biao. Even Liu Biao is now in his fifties and sixties. Of course, in the Han Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was less than forty, Fifty or sixty years old is naturally an advanced age, and the heart is still beating, and the blood is spurting.

  To, or not to, that is the question.

   "If Xuande is sent to go..." Liu Biao pondered for a long time, then said, "What does Zirou think?"

   There was a conflict between Cai Mao and Gan Ning. Liu Biao knew about it, and Liu Biao was happy to see it. After all, Cai Mao and Gan Ning both hold military power. If these two people get along in harmony, what if they join forces and evade themselves? So Liu Biao is actually impartial on the surface, but in fact he often fanned the flames behind these two people, and then came forward to reconcile when the two people were torn together...

Therefore, Cai Hao cannot leave Jingzhou, neither can Gan Ning. Liu Biao feels that these two people are like two ends of the balance. If one loses, the balance of Jingxiang will be broken, so only the marginalized Liu Bei seems to be more suitable. This stone is used as a throwing stone.

Kuai Liang lowered his eyelids, cupped his hands and said, "If you send Xuande as the vanguard, it is naturally the best choice... However, Xuande is full of ambitions, and he must not be willing to be under others for a long time... My lord still needs to be on guard against one or two things..." For Liu Biaozhan's foresight Kuai Liang could understand the look, but he didn't quite agree with it, so he nodded cryptically.

   "How about sending Uncle Ji to go with you?" Liu Biao asked again after a while.

  Can Yiji's small body hold Liu Bei down? Kuai Liang expressed doubts, but at this moment, Kuai Liang couldn't say that Yi Ji's ability was not good enough, so he could only say: "Ji Bo and Xuan De have a very good relationship, if they go together, they must work together..."

Liu Biao let out a "hmm", then he didn't know what to do, and then he talked about some other things, arranged the government affairs, and then his spirit gradually became weak, seeing that the ink words on the writing became blurred, his head felt swollen and painful , I can only get up and go to the wing room to lie down for a while and take a rest.

   "I'm still old..." Liu Biao sighed silently in his heart. I think that when I entered Xiangyang at the beginning of the year, I corrected and issued government orders all night, and followed the troops to wipe out the surrounding sect thieves the next day. There was no problem at all. It's too much.

  I am old, but my children have not yet grown up...

   Liu Qi, Liu Qi!

   Liu Biao turned over suddenly and sat up from the couch. What if Liu Qi followed Liu Bei into Sichuan? Doesn't it mean that this unfilial son doesn't like reading, but instead likes to dance with guns and clubs? Adding Yiji as an assistant, if he can take this opportunity to win Sichuan and Shu, it can also be used as a career...

   No way, I still need to find another one, I’m afraid I’m not enough.

   Cai He, Cai Zhong?

   Forget it, the Cai family and the Huang family are still married, just in case...

   So who should I choose?

  Liu Biao fell into deep distress...
