At that time, Liu Bei was still enjoying the company of his concubines.
Since their marriage, Liu Bei and Sun Yerong have been living in perfect harmony, like fish in water.
Liu Bei's face was practically bubbling with happiness.
His wife and he lived together, eating and sleeping together, talking about everything under the sun, drinking and sparring, singing and dancing to admire the bright moon.
Liu Bei seemed to have forgotten about the chaotic situation in Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang was so eagerly awaiting good news from Liu Bei in Jingzhou that he was practically jumping for joy.
A man as brilliant and composed as Zhuge Liang had already calculated that Liu Bei had already obtained his wife and that Liu Bei should have taken his wife and successfully escaped from Beigu Mountain and Sun Quan's control.
Then Zhou Yu led his troops in pursuit.
They couldn't catch up!
They also encountered a small ambush, causing Zhou Yu to lose some men.
This is the so-called "Zhou Yu's brilliant plan to secure the world ended up costing him both his wife and his army."
However, the truth is that Liu Bei only read the first of Zhuge Liang's three secret plans.
Zhuge Liang was very flustered.
The situation in Xichuan has changed drastically, making it the perfect time for Liu Bei to launch an attack on Yizhou.
Liu Zhang, the ruler of Xichuan, has fallen ill, and the political situation in Chengdu is undergoing a radical transformation.
Zhuge Liang had already made contact with the group in Chengdu.
Many people in Chengdu were on Liu Bei's side, advocating for paving the way for him and welcoming him to take control of Chengdu.
Such a great opportunity.
It is readily available.
They could acquire such a large territory as Sichuan, the land of abundance, almost without having to make a major effort.
But the key figure, the handsome old man Liu, is currently newly married.
He was so happy that he forgot about Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang was anxious, really anxious.
No matter how capable he is, he still needs Liu Bei to come out and use the title of "Imperial Uncle Liu" in order to get things done.
If Zhuge Liang could handle the situation himself at this moment, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang had been shrewd enough when Liu Bei set off, and he gave Zhao Yun a heads-up: "If, my lord, you become too enamored with the pleasures of the land and cannot extricate yourself, you can do this..."
Since the marriage of Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
Seeing Liu Bei sinking deeper and deeper into wealth and luxury, forgetting all about Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun had no choice but to take emergency measures.
Zhao Yun was originally a very honest person.
He never did anything behind Liu Bei's back.
However, Zhuge Liang had previously agreed with Liu Bei and Zhao Yun that if they were to take this step, they would not need to obtain Liu Bei's consent.
To be honest, when judging a person, you should look at their true nature.
Liu Bei never truly enjoyed his life. He lived a life of hardship and wandering. If a fifty-year-old man could have another thirty years of such good life, why would he still fight wars?
Just like Qiao Xuan's father, he lived a life of wealth and leisure, without having to live in fear.
Liu Bei had already become Sun Quan's brother-in-law!
When Liu Bei no longer posed a threat to Sun Quan.
Why did Sun Quan still kill Liu Bei, the Imperial Uncle Liu, to tarnish his own reputation?
Liu Bei must have gone through a struggle in his heart at that time:
Should he break free from the warm embrace of his beautiful, lovely, gentle, considerate, and dashing Lady Sun? Or should he continue his unknown journey to Jingzhou to seize Xichuan, where he might lose his life on the way?
Liu Bei certainly wanted to hold onto the person in front of him!
If you can continue to enjoy wealth and luxury while holding onto the people in front of you, that would be even better.
If we were to conclude that Liu Bei was now hopelessly infatuated with women simply because he lived a poor life in his early years, endured hardship and displacement during his youth and middle age, and never had a good life, we might be wrong.
That would be a gross underestimation of Liu Bei.
Zhao Zilong was worried anyway.
Furthermore, under Zhuge Liang's instruction, he falsely reported military intelligence.
Zhao Zilong rushed about early in the morning, putting on quite a show, and told Liu Bei: "Cao Cao is leading a large army to attack Jingzhou, shouting that he wants to avenge the Battle of Red Cliffs!"
Jingzhou is in grave danger.
oh!
Liu Bei became anxious.
Liu Bei knew this in his heart.
He will have to find a way to leave Jingkou sooner or later, and get out of Sun Quan's sight.
Although he is quite old and has not yet enjoyed life properly, he still needs to seek his own wealthy and comfortable home, rather than staying under Sun Quan's feet.
Liu Bei decided to win over his Lady Sun.
Liu Bei had this idea in mind, regardless of whether Cao Cao was really coming to attack Chibi.
Jingzhou is in a pretty urgent situation anyway.
Lu Xun, Lü Meng, Lu Su, and others have already rushed to Jingzhou. Liu Bei is at the foot of Beigu Mountain every day. How could he not know?
Liu Bei, his face grave, held Sun Yerong's hand and spoke in a melancholy voice befitting a mature man:
"It is a joyous occasion for me to marry this wife! I don't know what good fortune I have accumulated in my past life! However, although I seem to be at peace now, I have actually abandoned my parents and the land of the clan, and am wandering in foreign lands. However, Cao Cao is seeking revenge for the burning of Red Cliffs and has already raised his army. Jingzhou is in dire need. The people who moved from Xinye to Jiangling with me back then are hoping day and night that I can return to Jingzhou and face the difficulties with them!"
This is the half of what Liu Bei said.
He deliberately left the unfinished part unsaid.
We're just waiting for this simple and lovely Mrs. Sun, this passionate and impulsive Mrs. Sun, to tell us the second half.
This Lady Sun is not Sun Shangxiang!
Sun Yerong's passion and impulsiveness are deliberately portrayed in comparison to Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Quan had already given you instructions: "You can be impulsive and hot-blooded, hide your composure and wisdom, let Liu Bei underestimate you and use you. Then you can turn the tables and restrain him!"
Liu Bei was so sorrowful, and Sun Yerong was so understanding.
Sun Yerong gazed at her husband silently, her eyes filled with affection.
