Chapter 266 'Appearance' is inconsistent
No amount of good wine can wake up a person who pretends to be drunk; No matter how good the song is, it can't wake up the person who pretends to be asleep; Of course, no matter how powerful a strategist is, he can't be counted as the determination of a person who wants to escape, let alone Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals who are 'escapers' by their side.
Guo Jia, who had no last resort, calculated that Liu Bei wanted to break through, and also calculated the direction of Liu Bei's breakthrough, so he suggested that Cao Cao lay heavy troops in the south of Xiapi County and set up three 'interception lines'.
The great victory in Xiapi County made Cao Cao trust Guo Jia even more, but trust cannot solve all problems, and Cao Cao's 'overstretched' military strength is not a problem that can be solved by trust alone.
Cao Cao led an army of 80,000 to Xuzhou to conquer Liu Bei.
It stands to reason that the number of troops is sufficient.
But at this time, Cao Cao had already occupied the entire Xuzhou, and many county towns had to be garrisoned, which used 40,000 horses.
In front of Xiapi County, at least 30,000 horses are still needed to besiege it, and they dare not relax at all. If there were no such armies pressing the border, Liu Bei would not have broken through.
Therefore, Cao Cao could only give Guo Jia 10,000 soldiers to arrange three 'interception lines'.
Guo Jia doesn't care about this, can the 'lost dog' become a 'biting tiger'?
It turns out that Guo Jia was careless.
When people run for their lives, the 'lost dog' can really turn into a 'biting tiger'.
In the past few months, Liu Bei has secretly cultivated an elite army of about 1,000 people, the Bai Yu Soldiers, led by the general Chen Zhi.
The main source of this elite army was selected from the Danyang soldiers left by Tao Qian to Liu Bei.
"Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, noble strength, and it is a place for elite soldiers." This is the fundamental reason why Danyang soldiers have become an elite army.
And among the tens of thousands of elite Danyang soldiers, another 1,000 elite soldiers were selected, so the combat effectiveness of the 'white soldiers' they formed was naturally extraordinary.
In this breakthrough, the 'White Soldiers' shined brightly under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Within one day, he broke through the three 'interception lines' set by Guo Jia and successfully arrived at Jiangxia County, the territory of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
......
A large mansion in Xiling County, Jiangxia County, the two big characters "Liu Mansion" on the door of the mansion can show its extraordinary status in Jingzhou.
The surname 'Liu' is the surname of the emperor, although the Han Dynasty is now weak, but the word 'Liu' can not be used casually on the gate.
In Jingzhou, there is only one person who can use the word 'Liu' on the door of the mansion, and that is the owner of Jingzhou - Liu Biao.
Therefore, the owner of this mansion is about to come out.
And in the study room of this mansion, there are three people sitting opposite each other, looking like they are discussing important matters.
The man sitting alone, about fifty years old, was more than eight feet long, and wore a purple brocade robe.
The face is handsome and elegant, the face is as clear as white jade, and the eyes of the dragon and the phoenix.
When he was young, he must have been a 'beautiful man'. This person is the lord of Jingzhou and the owner of this mansion - Liu Biao.
Liu Biao, whose name is Jingsheng, is a person from Gaoping County, Shanyang County, and a descendant of Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty.
When he was young, he liked to make friends with celebrities, and he was known as "Jiangxia Bajun" with Chen Xiang of Runan County, Fan Fan of Shanyang County, Kong Yu of Lu Guolu County, Fan Kang of Bohai County, Tanfu of Shanyang County, Zhang Jian of Shanyang County, and Cen Hui of Nanyang County.
The word 'Jun' in this title refers not only to their appearance, but also to their talent.
Liu Biao is a person who knows current affairs very well.
When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Liu Biao knew that the Han Dynasty was about to fall! If you want to make a difference, you must have your own power.
Therefore, he expressed his sincerity to Dong Zhuo, and asked to be appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou.
Dong Zhuo has also just entered Beijing, and it is the time when he needs to buy people's hearts.
When he saw someone taking the initiative to approach him, he showed his generosity and responded to Liu Biao's requests!
readily agreed to Liu Biao's request.
At this time, Yuan Shutun's troops were in Nanyang County, which made it impossible for Liu Biao to reach Jingzhou directly. As a result, Liu Biao could only go incognito and go to Jingzhou alone to take office.
After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he entered Yicheng on a single horse and conspired with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao, a native of Zhonglu County, and Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang.
In less than a year, the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County were stabilized. This is the allusion of 'riding alone in Jingzhou'.
In the next few years, Liu Biao Enwei wrote and lured in a good way, so that Jingzhou was cleared for thousands of miles and the people were satisfied.
Liu Biao also started a school, loved the people and raised soldiers, and was able to calmly protect himself in the troubled times.
At this time, Jingzhou, compared to the Central Plains, is indeed a relatively safe and good place.
Jingzhou has a vast territory and rich property, with more than 100,000 armored soldiers.
If Liu Biao is a male master, he will inevitably be able to go north and chase the Central Plains.
But Liu Biao has no world in his chest, only Jingzhou, an acre and three points of land, so he has become a mediocre 'land guard'.
This probably explains the saying, "People are born in sorrow and die in peace!"
......
There are two people opposite Liu Biao, one is named Kuai Liang and the other is Cai Mao, both of whom are Liu Biao's staff.
At this time, there was no movement in the study, only Liu Biao asked, "Zirou, Deju." Liu Bei is coming to us, how should we deal with this? β
This is Liu Biao's character, ask everything, he has no opinion!
After listening to the advice of the subordinates, you can make a decision based on the suggestions of the subordinates.
A moment after Liu Biao finished speaking, Cai Mao took the lead in speaking: "I watch Liu Bei act like a hero, not a person who is 'under the fence'.
If we accept him, I am afraid that we will 'feed the tiger' and end up being eaten by him."
What's more, Liu Bei offended Cao Cao, if we accept him, what if Cao Cao uses this as an excuse to attack us? β
After Liu Biao heard Cai Mao's words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Although Cai Mao's words seemed to be full of truth, Liu Biao could still hear itβCai Mao was unwilling to accept Liu Bei.
As for the reason, it's not like Cai Mao said.
If there are no soldiers and horses, what threat can he have?
If Liu Bei doesn't come, Cao Cao won't fight Jingzhou's idea?
Cai Mao, from the Cai family in Xiangyang, is a son of a wealthy family, and he became friends with Cao Cao when he was young. His second sister married Liu Biao and became Liu Biao's wife.
Therefore, under Cai's strong support and the second sister's 'pillow wind', Cai Mao has become the hottest 'No. 2 real power person' in Jingzhou, holding half of Jingzhou's lifeblood - 20,000 water army.
Liu Bei is a celebrity in the world, and after coming to Jingzhou, he will definitely have an impact on Cai's power, from Cai Mao's position, how can he allow Liu Biao to accept Liu Bei to weaken his own power?
Cai Mao knows this, but Liu Biao also knows, so Liu Biao is very dissatisfied with Cai Mao.
Usually let you order, when it comes to the life and death of Jingzhou, you still only care about the little interests of your own family?
Yes, Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang.
Although Kuai Liang is also one of the prominent families in Jingzhou South County, he understands the overall situation and knows the pros and cons.
Kuai Liang naturally felt the gaze of the lord Liu Biao, and from his gaze, he understood the meaning of Liu Biao.
Then he said: "What Brother Deqi said is good, Liu Bei is indeed not a person who is 'willing to live under others for a long time'.
However, Liu Bei's name of 'benevolence and righteousness' is all over the world, he came to take refuge in us, but we did not accept him, what will the people of the world think of us? will say that I have no room for people in Jingzhou!
On the other hand, Cao Cao has long been eyeing my Jingzhou land, and even without Liu Bei, he still has other excuses to send troops.
It's just that we don't have to worry too much about it now.
After all, there are Han Cheng in the north and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, these two people are not good people, and the three of them do not divide the victory and defeat in the north, so they dare not rashly lead their troops south.
The most important thing is that we still have a naval army of more than 40,000 people, if Cao Cao really dares to go south, it's a big deal that we don't want Nanyang County.
Could it be that Cao Cao's men and horses could still fly across the Yangtze River? β
Listening to Kuai Liang's words, Cai Mao's face was full of black lines, and she thought in her heart: "Kuai Liang, your uncle!" You're calling me right, huh? That's right? Tell me about it! β
If Kuailiang knew Cai Mao's thoughts, he would definitely retort: "Brother De Jue don't take it seriously, I'm just talking." β
At the same time, Liu Biao's face showed a satisfied smile: "Zirou just understands the overall situation, and is much stronger than the De Jue who only knows the interests of his family!" β
Therefore, Liu Biao said: "What Zirou said is what I want to say!" De Jue, enlarge your mind a little, in this world, for the time being, the surname is Liu. β
Liu Biao's words seem to say that the emperor is still there, and we must be loyal to the Han family.
But the main meaning is to warn Cai Mao, this Jingzhou, it's still up to me, put away your careful thoughts.
Cai Mao can have such an achievement, naturally he is not a fool, Liu Biao's meaning, he understands it very well.
Yes, Cai Mao said respectfully to Liu Biao: "De Jue thanks the lord's teachings, De Jue knows that he is wrong!" β
Liu Biao still said with an unkind face: "It's good to know!" You go and prepare 30,000 stone of grain, after Liu Bei comes, give it to him first, don't let the world say I'm stingy! β
Cai Mao replied respectfully: "Subordinates obey orders!" Then he turned and walked away.
After Cai Mao left, Liu Biao asked Kuai Liang, "Zirou, how should we settle Liu Bei?" β
Kuai Liang replied confidently: "Of course, Liu Bei was put in Nanyang County."
It's just that this time we can't let him be free like Zhang Xiu, we have to control his food, and arrange people all the way to 'support' Liu Bei at any time. β
After hearing this, Liu Biao said: "Okay! β
But he thought in his heart: "Zirou is still immature, how can people all the way?" β
Since Zhang Xiu of Nanyang County was 'pried' away by Han Cheng, Liu Biao has lacked a person who can resist Cao Cao in the north in Nanyang County.
At this moment, Liu Bei came to defect.
Liu Biao's original intention was to accept Liu Bei and make him his 'shield'.
A day later, Liu Biao met Liu Bei in Xiling County, and the two talked happily, as if they had not seen each other for many years.
When Zhang Fei and others saw it, they were very happy in their hearts, which proved that Liu Biao was willing to accept us.
Three days later, Liu Biao allocated 30,000 stone of grain to Liu Bei and asked him to garrison Nanyang County.
At the same time, he also gave Liu Bei a force of more than 10,000 men to help Liu Bei defend against Cao Cao's attack.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this team is definitely not controlled by Liu Bei, and the main control is in the hands of Liu Biao's cronies, the school captain Wang Du.
In Huyang County, on the south side of Nanyang County, Wen Ping, the general under Liu Biao, led 30,000 horses and horses, in the name of 'supporting' Liu Bei at any time, stationed here, everyone knows that Wen Ping's main task is to supervise Liu Bei.
Liu Biao's approach naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Liu Bei's subordinates, and they were all full of resentment towards Liu Biao.
One day, after the outspoken Zhang Fei drank some wine, he scolded in the direction of Xiangyang: "Liu Jingsheng, a villain who is different from the 'surface', after your grandfather Zhang has power, you will regret going!" β
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the soldiers tell Zhang Fei about it.
