Chapter 79: Sure enough
Liu Bei's plan was carried out in an orderly manner, Cao Ren and Li Dian beat Liu Pi out of anger, and then returned to Xuchang in a stupid manner.
Cao Cao seems to have been surprised by this result, when he was tasting wine with Liu Bei, he did say that Liu Bei was a hero, at that time Cao Cao felt that this was just a polite remark, but now, it is obviously a prophecy.
He understood that his chances of killing Liu Bei in Yuan Shaojun might not be numbered, although he knew that once Liu Bei ran away, he might eventually become his great enemy, but this matter could only be done to the best of his ability.
Wu Jun, Liu Xie, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu have made a plan in the palace to seek Liu Biao first.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth year of Jian'an is August, the summer is scorching, but it is Liu Xie's happiest day, whether it is Xuchang or Jiangdong, the winter and spring festivals always make Liu Xie feel damp and cold, in the big man without heating, except for the people in the bed, the means of heating are really a little too few.
Liu Xie has already come up with several ways to make himself comfortable for the winter, of course, he has to wait for his position to be stable before starting.
In the past ten days, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have cast a net on Liu Biao's territory under the condition of secrecy, and the news they got was quite rich when Liu Biao was defenseless.
Sun Ce can't go to Liu Xie's palace to report the situation one by one like a little brother, but the fact is that only the three of them know about this matter, and it is Liu Xie's strategy, so it will definitely not work without consulting Liu.
So this errand task fell on Zhou Yu.
However, Zhou Lang, who has always been arrogant in Jiangdong, did not reject this errand at all, because he wanted to control this strategy throughout the whole process, and see if Liu Xie's grasp of the human nature of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who can barely be regarded as celebrities in this era, is accurate.
If everything really made Liu Xie right, Zhou Yu felt that he would immediately advise Sun Ce whether to find an opportunity to kill him, such a character bearing the name of the emperor is not a good thing for Jiangdong.
However, although he thought so in his head, when discussing the strategy with Liu Xie, Zhou Yu still had to admit two words: It's really fragrant!
On this day, the sun was about to set, Liu Xie was taking Fu Shou to feed the fish on the edge of the lotus pond in the palace, and a maid came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu asks to see you."
"Alas, I don't want to take care of things, but they can't solve it themselves!"
Leaving such a helpless sentence, and after grabbing Fu Shou's back buttocks, Liu Xie walked to the side hall where he often discussed with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
"Gongjin is here, but is it news from Liu Biao?"
"Exactly! His Majesty's previous speculation can be said to have been half realized, and our Jiangdong spies have just learned from Cai Mao, the brother of Mrs. Cai, who is doted on by Liu Biao, that Liu Bei has sent his advisers Jian Yong and Sun Gan to meet Liu Biao with his letters, expressing his intention to surrender, and Liu Biao has also agreed. ”
After speaking, Zhou Yu handed Liu Xie a letter, which was the detailed message sent back by Jiangdong's spies.
Liu Xie put the letter on the table, and he didn't bother to read it at all, of course, this is also in line with the character of a puppet emperor who only thinks about pleasure and makes suggestions but is a side business.
"You don't need to read the letter, Liu Biao is a little too confident, thinking that he can be invincible by establishing a good image in this troubled world? Naive! ”
Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, it was obvious that he was a little disdainful of Liu Biao, Zhou Yu hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to correct Liu Xie's idea that he was a little empty-eyed with just one mouth.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, now the number of soldiers under Liu Biao's command is nearly 150,000, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they don't want to start a war with Liu Biao, let's start with Liu Biao, it is indeed a move that he can't imagine!"
"Now that Liu Biao wants to take in Liu Bei, he will come within a month or two, but his identity is the emperor's uncle, Liu Biao will not let him go deep into his hinterland, and most of the time he will find a small city in the corner for him to live in, so we will be more operational."
Zhou Yu listened very carefully, because Liu Xie hadn't said anything about how Liu Biao might place him after Liu Bei arrived, obviously, even such details Liu Xie had already foreseen.
"Once Liu Bei's arrival in Jingzhou is known to Guan Yu, will he directly join Liu Bei and not come to our Wu County?"
Zhou Yu's worry was something he had been thinking about for many days, Guan Yu's ultimate goal was obviously to meet Liu Bei, if the destination of the two of them was about the same, then the direct convergence would be over, why would he come to Wu County for the sake of two women?
"You and Bo Fu don't have to worry about this, if Guan Yu doesn't bring these two ladies back to Liu Bei, he himself will not return to Liu Bei, he's like this."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was a little speechless, especially Liu Xie said lightly: He is like this.
It's as if Guan Yu used to be his little brother, and he really can't pretend to be that determined.
"Bo Fu thinks that if a fierce general like Guan Yu can directly stay in our Jiangdong to serve his life, it will also be a great help for us to chase the Central Plains, with our Jiangdong ability, Bo Fu is not as treacherous as Cao Cao, can he stay?"
This question was obviously asked by Zhou Yu for Sun Ce, since Liu Xie knows Guan Yu so well, Guan Yu's partial general was also sealed by Liu Xie himself after all.
In addition, these two sisters-in-law were also handed over to Liu Xie to take care of, although Liu Xie took care of them from Xuchang to Jiangdong, but at least these two sisters-in-law are still the original original paint, what was it like when he was sent to the palace, and what is it now.
That's all, Zhou Yu felt that if Guan Yu was to thank Liu Xie, he would have to thank him.
So if Liu Xie was a little harder when Guan Yu came, Sun Ce felt that it was still possible to keep Guan Yu in the name of the emperor, after all, Cao Cao had kept Guan Yu for so long, wouldn't it also be Liu Xie's strength?
"Didn't the plan we set before just make him serve us?" After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Liu Xie was still a little blindsided.
"Bo Fu means that he has already got these two sisters-in-law, and there are more possibilities for him to leave, just one Liu Bei, it can't be any climate, can we directly leave Guan Yu in Wu County?"
Liu Xie listened to Zhou Yu's words, his eyes widened and widened, and he finally waited patiently for him to finish before he replied with a straight face: "And then?" Stay for a few days and don't know where you're going? ”
