Wu Yi and Liu Bei argued with each other for a while, and finally reminded him tactfully: "I will step up my efforts to investigate. These rumors should be instigated by Cao Cao, but the lord is sitting on the three states competing for the balance of the world, so it is better to be careful about some things...

.”

"The backup person never doubts." Liu Bei shook his head.

"What General Ma has done is really hard to reassure his colleagues. When they heard that Zhang Lu wanted to call Meng Qi as his son-in-law, the counselor advised him, 'How can someone love someone else if they don't love their relatives?' So the matter was left undisturbed. Although my lord,

To be generous and tolerant, it is best to be cautious, General Pang is his wing..."

Even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong would not speak out if there was any suspicion of estrangement. That is to say, Wu Yi dared to speak out because of his close relationship.

Liu Bei knew that Wu Yi would not stir up trouble, and his words represented the thoughts of the general in Shu, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, Ziyuan, I have my own plans."

"The generals in Shu are all loyal men and are very familiar with the terrain of Yizhou. No matter how bold my lord is, I can use them..." Wu Yi reminded carefully.

"This is great. When I take over Hanzhong in the future, can Ziyuan be a pioneer?"

"The last general is willing to die to serve." Wu Yi was overjoyed.

Liu Bei finally understood Wu Yi's intentions. The generals in Shu felt that they had given him too few opportunities, and they also wanted to go to the front line to gain some military glory.

Liu Bei had a strong point in his mind. All generals were loyal no matter where they were from, but in terms of personal bravery in leading troops in battle, the overall strength of these generals in Yizhou was insufficient, but he did not mind giving Wu Yi some opportunities.

In fact, there is no need for Wu Yi to remind Liu Bei, Liu Bei will naturally balance the relationship between the various factions, and he is already a leader in the art of controlling people.

Wu Yi left happily after receiving a satisfactory answer. Liu Bei lamented that the gap between his wives and brothers was too big. Mi Fang had no sense of presence as the prefect of Wuling. Wu Yi, who was born the best, was coerced by the Yizhou nobles. Every move affected too many people.

On the contrary, Lan Tian, ​​who guards Jiaozhou, is unfettered by interests and is the most reassuring existence for Liu Bei.

"My lord, the carriage is ready, why don't you go see Mrs. Wu?" Liu Bei stepped out of the guard gate, and Chen Dao was already waiting outside.

"Let's go see Adou. I haven't checked his studies for a long time." Liu Bei pointed to the direction where Gan Qian lived. In addition to balancing the relationship between courtiers, he also had to balance the relationship between his wife, concubines and children.

"Wei." Chen Dao opened the car curtain and let Liu Bei get in.

Because Wu Ran gave birth to two children in a row, and because of Wu Yi's relationship, Liu Bei went in and out of Mrs. Wu's residence the most. Sun Shangxiang, the youngest, was ignored a lot. Fortunately, he had his daughter Liu Yi as his companion, so he would not be lonely and depressed.

It was raining slightly at this time, so Liu Bei didn't hear the sound of the children playing. He walked through the wet courtyard in front of the house and found Liu Chan, Liu Shu and Liu Wan sitting on the porch playing with each other.

Liu Bei walked forward slowly and found that there were conches, shells and other seaside things on the small table, which Lan Tian asked Song Chen to drop by.

"Father..." Liu Shu noticed Liu Bei first and stood up to salute politely. After his biological mother Mi Zhen passed away, Liu Shu's personality became very sensitive.

"Father..." Liu Wan and Liu Chan also stood up.

Liu Bei waved his hand to signal everyone to relax. He pointed at the objects on the case and asked, "Where did all this come from?"

"My uncle asked someone to send it from Jiaozhou." Liu Wan lowered her head and answered.

"The shell is quite bright. Is there anything special about this shell?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Liu Chan put a conch next to Liu Bei's ear: "Father, listen, uncle has sent the sea."

"It's really like that." Liu Bei's kind face was filled with a smile. Suddenly he remembered that he was here to test Adou's knowledge, so he asked: "Mr. Si Qian (Yin Mo) has been teaching you "Zuo Zhuan" for several months, but you can

Have you learned any good principles? Can you share them with me?"

"Uh... I'd better recite "The Thousand-Character Classic" to you. The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged..." Liu Chan felt sweat on his back and immediately changed the topic.

"No need to memorize it. It seems that you haven't paid much attention recently." Liu Bei said with a serious face.

Liu Chan lowered his head and muttered: "The child is only eight years old. My husband said that "Zuo Zhuan" is too difficult for me..."

"Isn't this right? Didn't Ziyu tell a few stories before? You were younger at that time..." Liu Bei was very confused.

"Well... Mr. Si Qian's lectures are not as interesting as my uncle's, so the children don't listen very well..." Liu Chan hesitated to explain the reason.

Although Yin Mo was proficient in "Zuo Zhuan", his storytelling skills were not as good as Lan Tian. The stories of the characters in Zuo Zhuan were obscure and difficult to remember, which did not arouse Liu Chan's interest at all.

"I'll let Mr. Si Qian explain it more simply. Have you practiced martial arts recently? Without a strong body, you won't be able to do anything in the future." Liu Bei asked again.

Liu Chan lowered his head and replied: "It's been either snowing or raining recently. Uncle Zilong went to Zitong County again. There really is no one to play football with the kid..."

When Liu Bei heard about the good guy, he asked Adou to practice some basic skills. It turned out that he understood it as playing football for fun. Although Liu Chan was only eight years old now, he was too lazy to set an example for Liu Yong and Liu Li.

"Where is your mother?" Liu Bei looked up and found no trace of Gan Qian.

It turns out that Gan Qian was very strict with Adou. Liu Bei felt that she had not been here for more than ten days, so why did the atmosphere here become different? Could it be that she complained that I was too close to Mrs. Wu?

"Mother caught the cold a few days ago and should be resting in her room at the moment." Liu Wan replied.

"So that's it."

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately felt relieved and walked towards Gan Qian's bedroom.

Gan Qian was usually very frugal and did not light candles in the room on a rainy day. Liu Bei opened the door and entered the room and felt it was very dark.

"Who is it?" Gan Qian asked weakly.

"Xiaojun?"

Liu Bei walked quickly to the couch and realized that he had not seen Gan Qian for a long time. She looked pale and haggard.

When Gan Qian heard Liu Bei's voice, she quickly struggled to sit up. Liu Bei stepped forward to support her back and put a pillow around her waist.

"Ahem, my husband is busy with government affairs, how can he have time to come here?" Gan Qian covered her mouth with one fist.

"Xiaojun's body has always been strong, but why have he fallen ill when the weather has been cold in the past two years? Have you ever asked a doctor to come and see you?" Liu Bei asked, looking up and down.

Gan Qian replied: "Maybe it's because of the heavy rain in Chengdu. After looking at it, the doctor just said it was just a simple wind and cold. It will be fine when the spring warms and the flowers bloom. It should be no big deal."

Liu Bei frowned: "The medical skills of these doctors in Yizhou are still not as good as those of Zhongjing (Zhang Ji) and Yuanhua (Hua Tuo). I will send someone to invite them to Chengdu tomorrow."

Gan Qian quickly stopped her: "How can these two miracle doctors help me, a woman who is so old now? Besides, Ziyu has just established the Medical Department, so Mr. Yuanhua probably won't be able to get away. I just need to take a few more decoctions."

"Xiaojun is really my good wife. I really miss those days in Xinye and Chenxian." The moment Liu Bei nodded and sighed, he accidentally discovered an unfinished coat on the table. He had not noticed it because of the darkness in the room.
