Chapter 115: The Situation of the World in Jingzhou
Hanshou County, Wuling County.
Liu Bei sat on the throne, and this time it was the most complete one under Liu Bei's command.
The first person on the left is Kong Ming, who has just returned from Jiaozhou, followed by Mi Zhu, Jian, Yong, Yuan Huan and others. Zhou Buyi is at the end, and Xizhen, Wei Yan and others are staying in Jiaozhou and cannot move lightly.
The first person on the right is Guan Yu, who has just returned from Jiangxia. Below are Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others. As for Xu Shu and Huo Jun, they are still stationed in Nanyang County.
Seeing his subordinates once again filling the seats in the hall, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.
Now, Hanshou County has restored its former glory and is extremely prosperous under the rule of Liu Bei, Yuan Huan and others. Some people even compare it with Xiangyang.
Although Liu Xian had tacitly approved Liu Bei's entry into Linyuan County, Liu Bei had always regarded Hanshou County as his base camp.
It's not that Liu Bei is nostalgic or has any worries, the main reason is that this place was the seat of Jingzhou... Liu Bei seems to represent some other meaning here.
"Kong Ming, now that everyone is here, I will leave the rest to you."
Liu Bei knew that Kong Ming rushed back from Jiaozhou in such a hurry and even transferred Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others back to Hanshou, so something big must have happened.
Liu Bei did not hesitate, and directly handed over the remaining matters to his mastermind, and he calmed down and listened carefully.
"Lord, generals!" Zhuge Liang did not show any pretense. After bowing to Liu Bei and everyone else, he asked someone to bring up a map and at the same time looked at the young man at the end, Zhou Buyi.
"Yuanzhi, please first tell the generals what has happened in the world during this period."
"Nuo!" Zhou Buyi, who is now fifteen years old, can no longer be regarded as a young man. He has been with Zhuge Liang for three years, and his current temperament is somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang.
Zhou Buji stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall with a nonchalant expression, bowed slightly to everyone, and then spoke.
"The world has basically stabilized in recent years.
Northwestern Korea and Ma Teng were both enemies and friends, but at the same time they all lost the power to make progress and were just hanging on.
This was the case in Hanzhong and Yizhou. Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were fighting endlessly, but neither could do anything to stop the other.
Jiangdong Sunlang once again stabilized the situation in Jiangdong, and besides judging, he once again accumulated enough troops, horses, food and supplies.
It seems that life in Jiangxia during this period is not so leisurely.
But with the abilities of General Guan and General Gan Ning, they will not be afraid of the Jiangdong Sun family."
Zhou Buyi first passed by those less important guys, and then boasted about Guan Yu and Gan Ning who didn't come, which made Guan Yu's face look a little happy.
There was also some kindness in Zhou Buyi’s eyes.
"But the biggest problem for us is still two people, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Cao Mengde, now the number one prince in the world.
Let’s talk about Liu Jingsheng first. I wonder if Mr. Xuande feels that there is any difference in Jingzhou today?”
Liu Bei was stunned when he saw the question that suddenly came back to him, and then after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly.
"Nothing has changed in Jingzhou. If you have to say something different...
I always feel that some people in Jingzhou seem a little nervous, but I’m not sure if it’s my imagination.”
"I guess it's not an illusion." Zhou Buyi chuckled, "The boy's uncle was the best friend of Liu Jingzhou back then.
Although I have been out of town in recent years, there are not many sources of information.
According to the news my uncle received...Liu Jingsheng is not in good health now."
As soon as Zhou Buji said this, everyone except Kong Ming took a deep breath, but then they felt that this was not something that surprised them.
Liu Biao is sixty-five this year. Although he has always been in good health, it is not easy at this age.
If he really went to Guxi, Liu Bei would have a headache.
"How long can Brother Jingsheng hold on?" Liu Bei asked this question with some urgency, but everyone didn't take it to heart.
Only Zhou Buyi glanced at him secretly, as if he wanted to know the purpose of his question.
"This is unclear. I only know that Liu Jingzhou's health is not good. Doctors often come in and out during this period, and several times he was rushed in at night.
Moreover, both Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are mobilizing private family soldiers to enter Xiangyang. Cai Mao has even begun to let his nephew Zhang Yun take over the defense of Xiangyang City.
Both of them acted very covertly and had no intention of informing us.
If it weren’t for one of Xiangyang’s city gate commanders who happened to be favored by his uncle and secretly informed us about this matter, I’m afraid we would have been kept in the dark as well.”
"So and so... Then why is there no movement from Liu Qi?"
Liu Bei said this with a frown, and at the same time looked at Guan Yu aside. When he saw Guan Yu shaking his head slightly, his frown became even tighter.
It seems that Liu Qi is not hiding this matter, but he himself does not know it.
Then this matter is definitely not good news.
"This is another thing I want to say." At this time, Zhou Buyi spoke again with a wry smile, "It's not that Liu Jingzhou deliberately concealed Jiang Xia's eldest son.
But looking at it now... I'm afraid that Mr. Liu Cong didn't get any words from Liu Jingzhou!"
"What?" This time everyone was really surprised, especially Liu Bei, who looked in disbelief. "If Brother Jing Sheng's body is really in such a bad state, why doesn't he arrange the next things?"
"This... I'm afraid Liu Jingzhou himself doesn't know how to choose.
Over the years, I have discussed Liu Jingsheng's thoughts with my husband many times. What he does is often contradictory, and his behavior is often contradictory.
At first, the kid thought it was because he was old and dim, but later he found out that was not the case.
Until now, Liu Jingsheng doesn’t know who he should choose?
Just like how he had been weighing his subordinates before, the anti-Cao people led by Huang Zu wanted to protect themselves, and the Lian Cao people like Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others in Xiangyang fought endlessly to protect themselves.
If you choose the eldest son Liu Qi, you will definitely have a big battle with Cao Mengde, but judging from the current situation in Jingzhou.
Not only is the possibility of winning the battle extremely slim, but even if I win, I may end up waiting for my success.
But if he chooses Liu Cong...Liu Jingsheng doesn't need to worry about his family, but his reputation in this life can't be saved at all.
Therefore, no matter which choice he makes, he cannot make it now..."
