All along, Zhao Yun has been on the periphery of the battlefield to help Liu Bei recruit people, and the conditions are extremely strict.

Liu Bei was a prince before, and he was related to the royal family, and his reputation was also good, relying on these, Zhao Yun had recruited more than 1,000 people for Liu Bei who sincerely followed Liu Bei after a few months.

At the same time that Liu Bei left Yecheng, the news had already reached Zhao Yun's ears, and he ordered all the people and went straight to Runan.

Although 3,000 men and horses are not much, it is enough for Liu Bei to protect himself on Liu Biao's territory.

Through this refuge in Yuan Shao, Liu Bei understood a truth, he was in a hurry like a lost dog, he didn't take any people with him, people would not treat him as a thing at all, only with his own personal soldiers could he stand up,

When Liu Bei arrived in Runan, he did not rush to Liu Biao, but first stationed in Runan, replied to Guo Tu, reported his safety, and stabilized him.

After that, Liu Bei also wrote a letter to Liu Biao, mentioning that he had brought nearly 5,000 men and horses and would come to him immediately, wanting him to give him a place to live, which obviously meant to determine where it was appropriate for him to go.

This is a little different from Liu Bei's rhetoric before, at the beginning, whether it was Jian Yong or Sun Qian, they just said that Liu Bei came back to defect, and there was no intention of asking for the land boundary at all.

Liu Biao is fifty-eight years old, and he has no ambition to dominate the Central Plains, which has a lot to do with age.

He understands that the Central Plains cannot be unified without ten or twenty years, can he Liu Biao live to be so old? Obviously not, so what is he making a fuss about?

Holding Liu Bei's letter, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue in front of him, and handed the letter over.

These two people can now be said to be one of the people that Liu Biao relies on the most.

As early as ten years ago, in the first year of Chuping, Liu Biao, who was still the marquis of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, was ordered by the imperial court to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou.

But he felt quite hesitant about the situation at that time, so he invited Kuai Yue and his brother Kuai Liang and Cai Mao to conspire with Cai Mao in Yicheng.

Now that ten years have passed, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are still Liu Biao's henchmen, if Cai Mao is favored and has something to do with him having a good sister, Kuai Yue is really his own strength, and he is very sincere to Liu Biao.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were the people who strongly opposed Liu Biao's participation in the dispute between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Originally, Liu Biao wanted to stand in line with Yuan Shao, but these two people were both pro-Cao Cao figures, so they could only persuade Liu Biao to stay still.

The struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can have such a result, which is not unrelated to Liu Biao's inaction.

When Cao Cao was holding Yuan Shao in Guandu, even if he sent 50,000 troops, he could cut off Cao Cao's back road at any time, but he didn't, and now Cao Cao will not give anyone such a chance again.

"Lord, this Liu Bei, the rhetoric is actually different from before, I think I have other plans."

Kuai Yue finished reading the letter, and said with a sneer, Obviously, he didn't have a good attitude towards Liu Bei.

"Yes, Liu Bei has already surrendered to Yuan Shao, but when Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao and was seriously ill, he proposed to surrender to my Jingzhou, how could this be done by a loyal person? If the lord reuses Liu Bei, will he do this to the lord and Jingzhou, who can guarantee it? ”

As soon as Cai Mao sang and harmonized with Kuai Yue, he turned Liu Bei into a little brother with an impure purpose, of course, his original purpose was also impure, but Liu Biao was used to the high-standard treatment of these individuals, so he didn't think about refusing at all.

Liu Biao pinched his beard and groaned for a while, waved his hand and said: "Liu Xuande, this person, and I are both relatives of the Han family, and now he has taken the initiative to bring soldiers and horses to defect, and Jingzhou has no reason not to accept it." ”

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and they both understood that Liu Bei's arrival in Jingzhou could not be changed.

The most important thing in Liu Biao's life is credit, Liu Bei first sent Jian Yong and the two of them over, Liu Biao has already promised to be good, Jian Yong and Sun Qian are still in Xiangyang with good food and drink.

If he regrets it now, his reputation will be shattered.

"That's... Did the lord directly agree to this Liu Bei's request, he led 5,000 troops, and wanted the city, what if he was a spy sent by Yuan Shao? Although he and the lord are both relatives of the Han family, this Jingzhou territory will be passed on to the heirs of the lord in the future, and he must not let Liu Xuande take it away in the name of the clan relatives of the Han family! ”

Cai Mao's words can be said to be emotional, and she is bitter.

What he said was passed on to Liu Biao's own son-in-law, and what he meant in his heart was of course his sister's son-in-law to Liu Biao.

If that's the case, the lord of Jingzhou is his nephew, and the relationship will be closer, if Liu Bei really gets it, he will be nothing.

As soon as Cai Mao mentioned that his son might be affected, Liu Bei's expression was a lot more solemn.

He pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Let Liu Bei bring his cronies to Xiangyang first, after all, they are all relatives of the Han family, and he bears the name of the emperor's uncle, there should still be etiquette, as for those people, give him Xinye, so as to help us control the situation in the north of Jingzhou, how about it?" ”

After Liu Biao finished speaking, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's eyes lit up.

This place in Xinye, in the north of Jingzhou, is indeed under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and it can be regarded as agreeing to Liu Bei to give a place to live, but this place is not close to Xiangyang.

In this way, Liu Bei's identity is equivalent to becoming Liu Biao's Beifan, rather than these direct relatives in Xiangyang, which is much farther away from the relationship.

And Xinye is really not very big, in other words, it is such a small city, the population is too small, and Liu Bei can't develop it if he wants to, which is definitely a good idea for Liu Biao to kill two birds with one stone.

"My lord's attention is good!"

Seeing that the two nodded, Liu Biao also wrote a letter back to Liu Bei, which can be regarded as the importance he attaches to this little brother of the same clan.

And it was very clear in the letter, let Liu Bei bring his cronies over, set up a banquet by himself, and pull the people directly to Xinye.

This matter was originally solved in this way, Liu Bei was placed in Xinye, and no one would think that he could achieve any great climate, but not long after Liu Biao's letter was sent, Cai Mao received a message from Jiangdong.

This news made him rush to Liu Biao's mansion in the middle of the night, and the old man was not very happy, even with his own sister.
