Chapter 84 Shi Yuan
The rainy season is over and August is approaching, Le Jin is about to move.

But that's all there is to it, there's no more action.

Because Zhou Gongjin was recuperating in Chaisang, and on the other hand, he ordered Sun Wuzhong to gather troops in Baqiu to attack Yi!
Such momentum made Le Jin choose to wait and see. After all, it only took half a day to go up from Baqiu Shuo to Jiangling.

But in this tough stalemate, Liu Bei has never been free.

Relying on the list given by the light curtain to invite them one by one, Liu Bei discovered for the first time that there are so many people available!

Fu Xun, Wei Yan, and Hao Pu are all veterans who have devoted themselves to following them when they were in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei set up a small banquet, and just talking about the old things in Jingzhou made several people almost cry.

It's just that the three of them felt that the way the lord looked at them seemed a little unclear.

Wei Yan felt that the lord looked at him with both admiration and vigilance, and Hao Pu could feel some pity in his eyes.

Fu Xun was caught off guard by Liu Bei's first sentence:

"Where is your son?"

Fu Xun was stunned for a while and could only answer truthfully: "Xu got married last year, and now he has no son."

Liu Bei could only smile awkwardly and pull Fu Xue into the table.

Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Huo Jun, Chen Zhen and others have been under Liu Bei's command for less than half a year, so Liu Bei can only talk about some ordinary things with a little wine.

And in this difficult confrontation, Liu Bei finally got the news that he had prepared for in mid-August:
Zhou Gongjin's old illness relapsed and died in Baqiu.

Although they had been prepared for a long time, everyone under Liu Bei's command sighed with regret that heaven is jealous of talents.

What should be done while sighing is to be done: Liu Bei went to Dantu to mourn the funeral, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong gathered in Jiangling, ready to set up an ambush and wait for Le to come in to invade.

From Jiangling City, you can take a boat down the river to Baqiu, but on the way, you have received the news that Zhou Yu's body has been sent to Dantu, so Liu Bei took Bu Zhi and changed to Dantu.

If it was said that the last time I came to negotiate with Sun Hou about the ownership of Nanjun was still a bit pleading, then let Liu Bei sum up this time: I came to see Fengchu.

Zhou Gongjin died suddenly, Sun Hou couldn't take care of himself internally, and naturally he would not lose his mind to attack Liu Bei who was married, so Liu Bei was very relaxed.

The purpose of carrying a horse is to show sincerity: Jiaozhou University can talk about it again.

Passing through Baqiu, via Chaisang, and finally arriving at Dantu, as far as the eye can see, it has been wrapped in plain colors.

Liu Bei dressed lightly, but Dantu had already sent someone to lead him to the temporary place.

Passing by a mansion on the way, Liu Bei saw his uncle standing on the roof, holding a brocade robe, crying loudly against the wind:
"Zhou Gongjin!"

Lu Su and Liu Bei stopped to watch.

After Sun Quan yelled, he went down to the roof and took another brocade robe, and once again mournfully yelled "Zhou Gongjin!"

It ended after repeating this several times.

Liu Bei knew that this was the evocation of the funeral, and after today there was a bathing ceremony for the deceased, and an inscription on which the official title of the deceased was written.

In the early morning of tomorrow, the deceased will be changed into a shroud called a small mortuary, so that the mourning hall will be completed before the mourning can be carried out.

"Marquis Sun is very reluctant to give up the Governor of Zhou." Liu Bei lamented that those who can summon the soul of the deceased are usually the closest relatives of the deceased.

"Gong Jin... was just in her prime, and she suffered such a disaster." Lu Su also looked gloomy. Although the two had disagreements in political views, the death of Gong Jin is no different from the loss of Jiang Dong's arm.

After Liu Bei was settled, Lu Su looked at Bu Zhi: "Zi Shan, follow me to see Marquis Sun."

Bu Zhi looked miserable and was taken away by Lu Su.

Pretending to have something to do in my heart, I didn't sleep comfortably. Early the next morning, a waiter knocked on the door, saying that the mourning hall has been completed, and I can go to pay my respects.

After washing up, Liu Bei followed the waiter along the way he came yesterday.

In front of Zhou Yu's mansion, a piece of white cloth was picked up with a bamboo pole, and a letter was written "Zhou Gongjin, the prefect of Nanjun".

Going in again, I saw Zhou Gongjin lying quietly in the main hall after washing up and changing into a fine attire.

His wife and children knelt aside and nodded to Liu Bei.

Sighing, Liu Bei put a jade robe in his hand beside him, and after earnest worship, he was sent out by Zhou Yu's eldest son.

Looking back again, Liu Bei shook his head and couldn't help thinking, what will his funeral be like after his death in Baidicheng?I don't know if it's Kong Ming or Adou who summoned his soul?
As for the encoffining after the funeral, the preparation of tombstones, and the burial to the ancestors, it has nothing to do with him.

At this time Liu Bei heard someone calling himself: "Liu Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei looked back, he was a scholar with elegant temperament, personable, ordinary appearance, but he seemed to make people feel good.

"Shiyuan?" Liu Bei happily went up to grab Pang Tong's hand, pulled it up without any explanation, and left:

"I didn't expect to meet you here... Let me go to the house and talk about it."

Until he knelt down on the couch, with a cup of hot tea stuffed in his hand, and looked up to meet Liu Bei's fiery gaze, Pang Tong still felt a little unreal: How could the progress be so fast?
"I already know Shi Yuan's intention." Liu Bei smiled calmly.

"Although Gong Jin is newly mourned, Shi Yuan is not a minister of Gong Jin, nor a minister of Marquis Sun, and he is free to come and go."

"I want to pay homage to General Zhonglang, the commander of the Yuan army, is it possible?"

Straight to the point, straight to the point!

Before waiting for Liu Bei, Pang Tong anticipated several possible reactions, but all of them failed. This Liu Jingzhou seemed to have known his name, and even guessed why he was waiting for him here!

After pondering for a while, Pang Tong asked: "Now Kong Ming is also Liu Jingzhou's military adviser Zhonglang General?"

Liu Bei nodded, and added: "Kong Ming often said that the talents of scholars are more than inferior, and they are talents who assist the world and have the heart to save the country and the people!"

Pang Tong had a forced smile on his face, and Kong Ming guessed everything about him, and it was even worse than anything!
Is this the talent of Crouching Dragon?

Besides, when Gongjin died of illness, there must be some action in Jiangling, but he couldn't guess it at all!

Fortunately, Liu Bei seemed to really attach importance to Kong Ming's words, and the promised official position was the same as that of Kong Ming. With such importance, how could Sun Quan compare?
Remembering that Sun Quan had not summoned him so far, Pang Tong couldn't help but sighed inwardly, and then asked seriously:

"May I ask what Liu Jingzhou's ambition is?"

"Destroy Cao's bandits and challenge Sun Quan, take over the Han Dynasty and rule the world. I only hope that the world will be peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing!"

Pang Tong opened his eyes wide and rushed forward to cover Liu Bei's mouth:
"My lord, this is Jiangdong, be careful!"

Liu Bei smiled happily: "After getting Fulong, I got Phoenix chick. I am not alone in Han Shichang!"

Pang Tong didn't make a fuss either, he stood up and leaned forward after another week:

"As shown in the picture, how sure is the master of Yizhou?"

Liu Bei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Originally, it was [-]%."

Then he stretched out his hand again: "It's ten percent done now!"

Pang Tong was touched and bowed down again: "Tong, I would like to take Yizhou as an offering to my lord!"

"It's not necessary." Liu Bei remembered something strange:
"It's good for Shi Yuan to help me guard Jingzhou. There is a place in Yizhou called Luofengpo, which is not good for your Feng Shui."

Pang Tongtong was puzzled, and then he heard the master's first order:
"Does Shi Yuan know Ma Zhong, the general of Pan Zhang's department? I heard that he has a good reputation, can you introduce him?"

 The ability to describe the plot is still lacking, so the transitional chapters seem relatively flat, the judges are more forgiving, and will not delay.
