Youzhou, Jixian.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Tian Yu and Chen Dao to the prefect's mansion with worriedly. Since the beginning of winter, Liu Yu suddenly fell ill. He used famous doctors and precious medicines, but he did not improve.

Liu Yu was treated as an elder from the bottom of his heart and his mentor. When he was in the most difficult, helpless and confused, Liu Yu took him in. Liu Yu learned a lot from Liu Yu, and Liu Yu also gave him enough trust. First he acted as the prefect of the county, and later he completely handed over the military power to Liu Bei, and Liu Yu only cared about political affairs.

It was precisely because of this unreserved trust that Liu Bei completely turned to Liu Yu between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan treated him well, but he was a little wary. When the court appointed him, Liu Bei had a good relationship with Gongsun Zan. However, later the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan became more and more acute, and Liu Bei finally chose to assist Liu Yu wholeheartedly.

In the Battle of Yijing, Liu Bei actually didn't want to kill Gongsun Zan, but he just wanted to convince Gongsun Zan and assist Liu Yu together. However, Gongsun Zan was too rebellious to endure failure, and could not stand his defeat at the hands of Liu Bei. In Gongsun Zan's view, Liu Bei's show of kindness was a villain's success in his power.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei really had this meaning or not, after Gongsun Zan's death, Liu Bei's reputation and status in Youzhou rose to the peak, and Liu Yu's subordinates were convinced by Liu Bei. Although he didn't say it, it was obvious that Liu Yu regarded Liu Bei as his heir.

"Mr. Guo, the lord's condition..." When he saw the famous doctor Guo Da from Ji County coming, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I have tried my best. Duke Xuande is here just right. The governor of the state will summon him!" Guo Da sighed and shook his head.

"It's a labor." Liu Bei felt ache in his heart, nodded silently, and took Zhang Fei and the other two into Liu Yu's bedroom. In the room, Liu Yu's sons Liu He, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi brothers, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yu Yin and other generals had already arrived. When they saw Liu Bei coming in, they greeted each other.

"But Xuande is back?" Liu Yu stretched out his hand and said, as if he heard the sound.

Liu Bei nodded to everyone, stepped forward and held Liu Yu's hand a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, you're here."

"I wanted to wait a few more years, but now it seems that my deadline has come and my life is not long!" Liu Yu said with a breath of breath and smiled.

"The lord wants to talk nonsense. The Han Dynasty has not yet revived. The lord is the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty. How can he say this?" Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red, tears rolled in his eyes, and his voice became hoarse.

"I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for that day. God will give me a warning if I die." Liu Yu swallowed with difficulty, turned his head and looked at everyone with difficulty and said, "With today, everyone is here, I will ask you to be a witness, Zichu!"

"Yes!" A look of unwillingness flashed in Liu He's eyes, and he handed the box containing the official seal of Liu Yu to Liu Bei, and bowed and said, "Brother, please!"

Liu Bei's heart beat a few times without composure, and his breathing became a little faster, but he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He did not pick up the box. He took a deep breath and looked at Liu Yu and said, "Master, what is this?"

"I have already expressed my remarks to the court that Xuande will inherit my official title. In the future, the future of Youzhou, the Han Dynasty, and the majesty of my royal family will depend on Xuande." Liu Yu held Liu Bei's hand and said with difficulty.

"How did this make it happen?" Liu Bei knelt down and said: "Young Master is still there, so how dare you accept this throne with shame? Please take back the lord, and you are willing to devote your whole life to assist the young master and support our Han Dynasty."

Liu He and many people who were interested in Liu He had some resistance to Liu Yu's decision. Naturally, this resistance could not be expressed to Liu Yu, so it was transferred to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's attitude at this moment made people feel a little more comfortable.

"If it was a prosperous era, my robe and mantle should have been inherited by Zichu, but now in troubled times, Zichu can control one side. However, his temperament is too weak, his wrists and courage are not enough to compete with the princes, and he cannot clear the world for the Han Dynasty and revitalize my Han Dynasty. Xuande should not refuse. This time, the throne was passed on is not for one's own selfishness, but for the Han Dynasty's world!" Liu Yu sat up with Liu He's support and sighed.

"This..." Liu Bei's face flashed with hesitation.

Zhang Fei was a little impatient and wanted to go forward to speak, but was stopped by Chen Dao and Tian Yu, signaling him not to talk too much at this time.

"Please don't refuse the Han Dynasty for my great Han Dynasty! He is willing to assist Duke Xuande to support the Han Dynasty with his remaining life!" Liu He knelt down and bowed to Liu Bei's solemn expression.

"Please put the overall situation first!" Seeing that even Liu He had knelt down, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, Qi Zhou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others also knelt on the ground and clasped their fists at Liu Bei.

"Please don't refuse!" Zhang Fei was forced to kneel down by Chen Dao and Tian Yu, and knelt down to Liu Bei.

"Bi... Thanks to the wrong love of the lord!" Liu Bei's tears remained unscrupulously, and he knelt beside Liu Yu, crying bitterly, and said hoarsely: "Don't worry, lord, as long as you have a breath, my great man will not die!"

"Please take the seal with Xuande!" Liu He took a deep breath, handed the seal to Liu Bei again, and bowed.

"Here!" Liu Bei did not refuse anymore and solemnly took the seal with both hands.

"I'll see you lord!" Under the leadership of Liu He, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Tian Yu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yufu, and Xian Yuyin all fell to the ground and bowed to Liu Bei, which also means that everyone recognized Liu Bei's status.

"You will retreat first. I have some more words to explain to Xuande." Liu Yu looked at this scene with relief and said with a smile.

"We'll leave!" Chen went to Hetian Yu and forced Zhang Fei who didn't want to leave. Liu He and others also left. Only Liu Yu and Liu Bei were left in the room.

"Lord, I..." Liu Bei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Yu.

"I have already confirmed your position as a clan to the royal family. You are my son and nephew. Now you are the governor of Youzhou. You can be called an uncle." Liu Yu waved his hand and said.

"Uncle!" Liu Bei was not polite this time, and this is what he called it in terms of seniority.

"Although Youzhou is now settled, Yuan Shao is eyeing him in the south, and the Hu people in the north are becoming more and more arrogant. It's hateful. If Gongsun Bogui hadn't made his own decision and had ruined the Taiwei's deployment, my Youzhou would not have been as passive as it was at this moment!" Liu Yu sighed.

"This..." Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this and looked at Liu Yu in confusion: "What do you have to do with the Grand Marshal?"

"Do you still remember the Macheng built by the Taiwei?" Liu Yu did not answer, but looked into the distance and murmured.

"Of course I remember!" Liu Bei nodded. When he was the prefect of the county, he carefully studied Ye Zhao's governance methods in Macheng. Over the years, Liu Bei has rebuilt Macheng, and many policies have been imitating Ye Zhao's path back then.

"I was only able to find out some clues later. The Taiwei's layout in Macheng was so grand that he could continue. If he could continue, I would not have to worry about Hu's troubles within 30 years!" Liu Yu's eyes flashed with admiration and smiled: "First, he split the Xianbei, so that Ke Bineng, Suli, and Mijia broke up with the Wangting completely, and then led the Wuhuan people to settle down at Danhan Mountain, forming a three-legged tripod north of Macheng, which made the Hu people not do these years.

Although the internal friction also made the Hu people more brave, the Hu people's vitality was constantly exhausted in the continuous conquest. This was a feat for our great Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Gongsun Bogui was stubborn and attacked Wuhuan Jutu tribe, causing the three-legged tripod to destroy the power of the three-legged tripod. Only the royal court and Bu Dugen competed. If we want to maintain mutual checks and balances, our army must send enough people and generals to guard the Ma City!"

Liu Bei looked at Liu Yu in a daze. Unexpectedly, in addition to the extraordinary management of Macheng, Ye Zhao was still silently sitting down on such a big thing. Calculate the time. That was what happened more than ten years ago. How old was Ye Zhao at the time?

After a long time, Liu Bei sighed: "The talent of the Taiwei is not as good as it is!"

"Don't blame Xuande for himself. No matter how powerful he is, he is also a Han minister!" Liu Yu laughed and said: "And Xuande's battles in the south and north over the years are enough to be called a good general in the world. It's a pity that Ye Zhao is not right. Otherwise, if he had assisted the emperor, my great Han would not have fallen to this point."

Liu Bei was silent. He was somewhat comparable to Ye Zhao, but he was not convinced of some things. Even though Liu Bei was no longer as short-splenty as in Western Hubei in the past, he was a little worse than Ye Zhao.

Thinking that he might face Ye Zhao in the future, Liu Bei felt a little nervous.

"Zi Chu is weak in nature, but he still has abilities. If Xuande sees that he is worth using it, he will stay. If he can't use it, he can go to Chang'an or Xuchang, and whether he joins the emperor or King Yong, he can always find a home." Liu Yu sighed. The struggle between politics was a deception. He was very worried that after he left, Liu He would have some bad thoughts. Youzhou really couldn't stand the tossing.

"Uncle, don't worry, Zichu is also a person of the Ming Dynasty. Bei believes that we can definitely support the Han Dynasty together." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"Yuan Shao has now stationed troops to defend himself and is eyeing our Youzhou. This is an external problem. Once the war begins, Xuande remembers to concentrate his troops and defeat one of them first to defeat the enemy's spirit. At the same time, he sends people to join forces with Ye Zhao. Cao Cao will not necessarily send troops, but Cao Cao will definitely send troops to restrain him. If you have the opportunity, take Hejian first as a barrier. Both Cao Cao and Ye Zhao are not easy to be with him. Don't be too greedy. If you can defeat Yuan Shao, then next, you will be enemies with Cao Cao, take Hejian, give up Bingzhou, and let Cao Cao annex Bingzhou. In this way, you can form an alliance with Ye Zhao and fight against Cao Cao together. By then, it will be time to advance to Jizhou. Xuande must remember!" Liu Yu took Liu Bei's hand and sighed: "Just this happens, the Central Plains will be three-legged tripods, and it may not be a good thing to be with my great Han!"

"Don't worry, uncle, Bei Ding is sure to follow his uncle's teachings!" Liu Bei took a deep breath and said.

After a while, Liu Yu didn't answer. When he looked up, he saw that Liu Yu had leaned against the bed and his eyes were closed forever.
