The rainy season is over and August is approaching, and Le Jin is ready to make a move.

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

Because while Zhou Gongjin was recuperating in Chaisang, he also made a high-profile order to Sun Wu to gather troops at Baqiu to attack!

Such momentum made Le Jin choose to wait and see the situation. After all, it only took half a day to go up the river from Baqiu Shuo to Jiangling.

And in this agonizing stalemate, Liu Bei never had a moment of leisure.

Relying on the list given by the light screen, Liu Bei discovered for the first time that there were so many available talents!

Fu Wei, Wei Yan, and Hao Pu were all veterans who had joined the army when they were in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei held a small banquet, and just talking about old events in Jingzhou made several people almost cry.

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

Wei Yan felt that his master looked at him with admiration and caution, and Hao Pu could feel some pity in his eyes.

Fu Wei was caught off guard by Liu Bei's first question:

Where is your master?

Fu Wei was stunned for a moment and could only answer truthfully: Xi Wei only got married last year, and now he has no children.

Liu Bei could only smile awkwardly and pull Fu Wei to the table.

Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Huo Jun, Chen Zhen and others had been working under Liu Bei for less than half a year, so Liu Bei could only talk about some ordinary things while drinking wine.

And in the midst of this difficult confrontation, in mid-August Liu Bei finally received the news he had been prepared for:

Zhou Gongjin's old illness relapsed and he died in Baqiu.

Although they had been prepared for it, everyone under Liu Bei's command could not help but sigh with regret, saying that God was jealous of the talented people.

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

You can take a boat down the river from Jiangling City to Baqiu. However, halfway through the trip, you received news that Zhou Yu's body had been sent to Dantu, so Liu Bei took Bu Zhi and changed his route to Dantu.

If the last time he came to negotiate with Sun Hou about the ownership of Nanjun, he still had a pleading attitude, then this time Liu Bei summed it up by himself: He came to see Feng Chu.

Zhou Gongjin died unexpectedly, and Marquis Sun was too busy to take care of himself internally. Naturally, he would not be so stupid as to attack Liu Bei who had a good marriage partner externally, so Liu Bei was very relaxed.

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

Passing Baqiu, passing Chaisang, and finally arriving at Dantu, everything you see is wrapped in plain colors.

Liu Bei traveled lightly, but Dantu had already sent someone to lead him to his temporary residence.

Passing by a mansion on the road, Liu Bei saw his uncle standing on the roof, holding a brocade robe in his hand, crying loudly into the wind:

Zhou Gongjin!

Lu Su and Liu Bei stopped to watch.

After Sun Quan shouted, he went down to the roof to get another brocade robe, and once again shouted sadly, Zhou Gongjin!

This was repeated several times before it ended.

Liu Bei knew that this was a funeral ritual. Today, the deceased would be bathed with rice, and an inscription of the official title of the deceased would be written.

Tomorrow morning, the deceased will be put into a shroud and placed in a small coffin. Only after the mourning hall is completed can the funeral be held.

Sun Hou is very reluctant to leave the Governor of Zhou. Liu Bei lamented that those who can summon the souls of the deceased are usually the close relatives of the deceased.

Gong Jin... was just in his prime, and suffered such a misfortune. Lu Su also looked gloomy. Although the two had different political opinions, Gong Jin's death now is like Jiangdong's arm being broken.

After Liu Bei was settled, Lu Su looked at Bu Zhi and said, Zishan, follow me to see Sun Hou.

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

I pretended to have something to do and slept uncomfortably. Early the next morning, a waiter knocked on the door, saying that the mourning hall was ready and I could 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 residence, he had picked up a piece of white cloth with a bamboo pole and wrote Zhou Gongjin, the Grand Administrator of Nanjun.

When he entered again, he saw Zhou Gongjin, who had washed himself and changed into a luxurious suit, lying quietly in the main hall.

His wife and children sat on their knees and nodded to Liu Bei.

With a sigh, Liu Bei put the jade robe he was holding next to him. After worshiping it carefully, he was sent out by Zhou Yu's eldest son.

Looking back again, Liu Bei shook his head and couldn't help but wonder, what was the funeral like after his death in Baidicheng? I wonder if it was Kong Ming or Adou who summoned his soul?

As for the burial after the funeral, preparing the funeral utensils, and burying the ancestors, it has nothing to do with him.

At this time Liu Bei heard someone calling him: Liu Jingzhou?

Liu Bei turned around. He was an elegant scribe with a graceful demeanor and an ordinary appearance, but he seemed to be doubly likable.

Shi Yuan? Liu Bei happily went up and grabbed Pang Tong's hand, pulled him up and left without saying anything:

I didn't expect to meet you here... Let's go to my residence to talk.

Until he knelt down on the couch with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and raised his head to meet Liu Bei's hot gaze, Pang Tong still felt a little unreal: How could it progress so fast?

I already know Shi Yuan's intention. Liu Bei smiled calmly.

Although Gong Jin is newly deceased, Shi Yuan is neither a minister of Gong Jin nor a minister of Sun Hou. He can come and go freely.

I would like to pay homage to General Shiyuan Military Advisor Zhonglang, is that okay?

Get straight to the point and get straight to the point!

Before waiting for Liu Bei, Pang Tong expected several possible reactions, but they all came to nothing. 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 advisor Zhonglang General?

Liu Bei nodded and added: Kong Ming often said that the talents of scholars are better than those of Yuan Dynasty. They are talents who help the world and have the heart to help the country and save the people!

Pang Tong had a forced smile on his face. Kong Ming guessed everything about him, and it was even worse!

Is this the talent of Wolong?

Moreover, since Gong Jin died of illness, there must be something happening in Jiangling, but he couldn't guess it at all!

But fortunately, Liu Bei seemed to really value Kong Ming's words, and the promised official position was the same as that of Kong Ming. If he valued it so much, how could he compare to Sun Quan?

Thinking that Sun Quan had not summoned him so far, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then asked seriously:

May I ask what Liu Jingzhou's ambition is?

Destroy Cao's thieves and conquer Sun Quan, uphold the Han Dynasty and rule the world. I only hope that the world will be peaceful and the seas and rivers will be clear!

Pang Tong opened his eyes wide and rushed forward to cover Liu Bei's mouth:

Lord, this is Jiangdong, be careful what you say!

Liu Bei smiled happily: After winning the dragon, I also win the phoenix chick. I am not alone in the prosperity of my country!

Pang Tong didn't show any pretense. He stood up and bowed again, then leaned forward and said:

How confident is the Lord of Yizhou in the picture?

Liu Bei smiled and stretched out his hand: It was originally 50%.

Then he extended his hand and said, Now it's 100 percent!

Pang Tong looked moved and bowed again: Tong, I am willing to take Yizhou and offer it to my lord!

That's not necessary. Liu Bei remembered something and looked strange:

Just help me guard Jingzhou, Shiyuan. There is a place in Yizhou called Luofengpo, which is not good for your feng shui.

Pang Yi looked confused, and then heard his lord's first command:

Does Shi Yuan know Ma Zhong, the general of Pan Zhang's tribe? I heard that he has a reputation as a virtuous man. Can you tell me something about him?

The ability to describe the plot is still lacking, so the transitional chapters seem relatively bland, please be patient and don't delay.
