He was sick. He was dizzy and very serious. He could not see anyone and needed rest.
The ones who rushed to Luoyang to participate in the school review were his eldest son Liu Qi and Zhangling prefect Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue and Yuan Shao were colleagues, both of whom worked in He Jin's General's Office. Kuai Yue once advised He Jin to take action first and kill the eunuch party. He Jin refused to listen. Kuai Yue felt that he could not succeed, so he took the initiative to ask for release.
Yuan Shao also wanted He Jin to eradicate the eunuch party. He admired Kuai Yue's attitude and operated it from it, and arranged for Kuai Yue to be the Ruyang Order.
Ruyang is the hometown of Yuan. After becoming the Ruyang Order, even if he was the Yuan family’s parents, idlers would not have such an opportunity.
Later, Liu Biao was released as the governor of Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue also resigned and returned home. He assisted Liu Biao in controlling Jingzhou with his brothers Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others. During this process, Kuai Yue made the most efforts and was appointed as the prefect of Zhangling by Liu Biao.
Zhangling is composed of several counties cut from Nanyang County. It has few household registrations, but its location is extremely important. Liu Biao arranged Kuai Yue here, which is not only a reward for Kuai Yue, but also a trust in Kuai Yue's abilities.
After arriving in Luoyang, Kuai Yue came to see Yuan Shao as soon as possible.
Kuai Yue was shocked when he saw Yuan Shao for the first time.
Yuan Shao was in front of him with gray hair, deep eyes, gray face, skinny and bone-skinned, wrapped in thick brocade quilt, motionless.
Even this is still the most energetic family he remembers.
"Brother Benchu?Brother Benchu?"
Amid Kuai Yue's call, Yuan Shao's eyelids trembled, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at Kuai Yue blankly, with a puzzled look.
"Who are you……"
"I am Kuai Yue, Xiangyang." Kuai Yue sat down beside the bed, took Yuan Shao's hand, and was shocked again.
Yuan Shao's hands were not only thin, but also cold and a little wet, just like a snake about to molt.
"Kuai Yidu." A ray of light flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he turned his head and held it elsewhere. He didn't find Liu Biao. Then he realized that the light in his eyes quickly dimmed. "Didn't Jing Sheng come?"
"He is sick." Kuai Yue said a little embarrassedly. "It is not appropriate to travel far."
Yuan Shao pulled the corner of his mouth.
Is sick? I'm afraid it's a heart disease. Although Liu Biao is not as arrogant as him, he has done a lot of usurpation. In addition, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong are in Nanyang, once he leaves Xiangyang, he is afraid he will not be able to go back.
"It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in this life." Yuan Shao sighed. "Well, I'll wait for him on the road to the underworld before discussing the affairs of the world."
Kuai Yue wanted to speak but stopped.
Yuan Shao was like this, and he didn't even have the courage to die, and he refused to let go of his pitiful self-esteem. What is the matter in the world on the road to the underworld? It is also the matter in the underground.
Kuai Yue lacked interest, so he said a few polite words to Yuan Shao, and then said goodbye.
Although Yuan Shao was still unsatisfied, he was unable to maintain his strength and had to give up.
After leaving the door, Yuan Tan, who was talking to Liu Qi, came up, bowed and looked at the room quietly.
"Xian Si, why is Ling Zun so sick?" Kuai Yue asked in confusion.
He probably knew why Yuan Shao came here, but he couldn't understand why Yuan Shao was so ill, and he refused to die after he became ill, and insisted on suffering alive.
Is it that difficult to die?
According to his opinion, Yuan Shao shouldn't have come to Luoyang. He should have sacrificed his life for justice when he was captured by Yuan Shu. It's incredible to think about it that Yuan Shao was actually captured by Yuan Shu.
Yuan Tan was helpless and said a few perfunctory words.
The matter between them, father, son and brother is too complicated and cannot be told by outsiders.
"Mr. Kuai, Jingzhou has a wealthy household registration, why are there only two thousand people coming?"
Kuai Yue felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. "Although Jingzhou has a wealthy household registration, it cannot be compared with Jizhou. Besides, the war has not stopped, and the army is stationed in various places, so there are only so many that can be drawn."
Yuan Tan blushed and had to bow and say, "Mr. Kuai doesn't know anything. The emperor summoned soldiers from all over the world to Yu Ping to read them optimistically, and then he was about to go to Jizhou. The two thousand soldiers were afraid that they would be difficult to stand on the side, so they could only follow the emperor.
This is also good, I may have the opportunity to ask Mr. Kuai at any time.”
Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment. "Are you around the emperor?"
"I will be filial and honest as a man, and I am preparing for the exam."
After hearing this, Kuai Yue exchanged glances with Liu Qi.
Liu Qi is much better than Yuan Tan in this regard. Liu Biao never broke with the court. He has served as the governor of Jingzhou for several years. According to the system, Liu Qi can become a military official.
As for what kind of man can be, it’s hard to say.
Liu Qi is a young man and wants to make a career, so this time he volunteered to come to Luoyang to attend the school review.
But in Kuai Yue's opinion, although Liu Qi is not stupid, he is not smart. He is a steadfast and accumulating qualifications. It would be good to be a county magistrate in the future. He would have no intention of thinking about those who have it.
Nothing.
However, he himself really wanted to take this opportunity to conquer Jizhou and show his skills and prove his strength.
The two former masters He Jin and Liu Biao were not heroes, so they did not give him much room to play. Although the emperor was young, he had the ability to turn the tide and would be a hero in the future. It would be for him to be able to serve under such a wise ruler.
Very tempting.
But after hearing what Yuan Tan said, he realized that he might have been thinking too much.
The emperor has many soldiers and generals under his command. His 2,000 people have no chance to stand alone. They can only follow the crowd and follow the crowd.
To think of someone else, you must think of some other solution.
Without hesitation, Kuai Yue thought of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Before he could figure out how to find Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, Yuan Tan threw a basin of cold water.
Mrs. Yuan came forward to plead with mercy, but she only won the opportunity for Yuan Tan to be a man. What can Pang Tong do? Besides, Mrs. Yuan is a wife, and she doesn't want to join the officialdom. For Yuan Tan, she can only give up her old face. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong will do it.
Will it influence his future for him?
Kuai Yue was very disappointed and suddenly understood Yuan Shao’s feelings.
This is an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
This era is no longer their era.
Although I felt it was useless, Kuai Yue still asked someone to pass on a message to Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, hoping to meet him.
Kuai Yue is a senior scholar in Xiangyang, and his subordinate Kuai Qi is Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law. Zhuge Liang could not refuse, so he could only agree to meet. But they also knew what Kuai Yue wanted to say. After discussing, they informed the emperor first.
.
What can be agreed to by Kuai Yue ultimately depends on the emperor's attitude.
After listening to the report, Liu Xie looked calm.
He knew that Liu Biao had doubts and sent Liu Qi and Kuai Yue to try it out, but he didn't think Liu Biao had any qualifications to bargain.
If you are so cowardly, can you still dare to rebel?
Zhang Ji and Ding Chong would be happy to rush their troops south to conquer Xiangyang.
"Liu Biao is almost sixty?" Liu Xie sighed, looking compassionate. "Since that's the case, don't work so hard. Let him come to Luoyang to recuperate. With Yuan Shao as his companion, old friends chat and reminisce about the past,
Not bad either.”
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong understood it.
The emperor's meaning is very clear. He can't kill Liu Biao, but Liu Biao doesn't want to seize Jingzhou and bargain with the court. Going to Luoyang to be with Yuan Shao was his only way out.
"Your Majesty, Kuai Yue can do it." Pang Tong said.
Liu Xie thought for a while and chuckled. "Do you think he can be competent for the prefect of Wei County?"
