Chapter 489: Jingzhou's Single-Blessing Strategy
Liu Bei got the Lu Shenyong Savior from Tanxi, and then ran all the way.
The wind in early spring was still a little cold, Liu Bei's clothes were soaked for most of the time, and when the wind blew again, he also felt a biting chill.
"Anyone?"
After galloping for a long time, Liu Bei saw a family in the forest, and couldn't help but step forward to ask.
This is not another place, it is Sima Hui, that is, the residence of the guy known as "Mr. Shuijing", but with the word "former". After Guyin Gongsun Du decided to get rid of Zhuge Liang, under the investigation of Tongshulou, that is, the Jingzhou branch of Qiaoyanglou, he found Longzhong and sent people to strangle him, but somehow, it was not successful. After that, he sent a capable force to inquire about the surroundings, and one of them happened to find here, although Sima Hui was not their target, but Sima Hui felt that they were not good at stubble, so he moved away again.
Yes, Liu Bei's shouting, no one answered. Liu Bei hesitated outside the courtyard for a long time, and finally stomped his foot and kicked open the locked courtyard door.
Walking around the various rooms, Liu Bei's guilt disappeared, because the thick dust in the room told him that there was no one living here. But again, no clean clothes were found, not even a piece of cloth was found. Fortunately, there were still some wood fires left in the yard, so Liu Bei simply got some, and then lit and roasted his clothes.
Because there is no owner here, even the Lu he brought with him was taken to the house by Liu Bei to warm up together.
Liu Bei didn't stay in the small courtyard for long, dried his clothes, picked some fruits in the courtyard, and set off again in the afterglow of the sunset, he was worried that the pursuers behind him would chase after him.
The next day, Liu Bei stumbled to a nearby town, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he didn't see the notice of chasing him. I bought some dry food and headed north.
In a few days, Liu Bei actually went north to Deng County, when he planned to go into the city to rest for a while, inquire about the news, and try to meet Chen Zhi, but when he saw the notice at the city gate, he was shocked, and he didn't look at it much, so he turned around and left. Fortunately, Liu Bei was cautious, otherwise, if he didn't wait for him to reach the city gate, he would bump into Cai Xun, who was sent to Deng County to arrest him, and even if he could escape, his tracks would be exposed.
Liu Bei thought about it, not only did he not go north, but went south, looking at Xiangyang. Thanks to this, Liu Bei met Chen Zhi and others who were also looking for him, and learned the news of Liu Biao's murder, and also learned the news that he was blamed. The two of them took a total of 10 days to return to Xinye, first crossing the water, and then turning north.
"Big brother, you can be regarded as back, otherwise my brother will take someone out to look for you." Guan Yu saw Liu Bei, his face was full of joy.
"There is Brother Lao Xian's strange arms!"
Liu Bei was also happy on his face, Xinye was not lost, for him, it was simply a life-saving straw.
"What's wrong with Shinno? Prepared to feel that the atmosphere is not right since entering the range of Shinno? As he spoke, Liu Bei's gaze fell on Shan Fu beside Guan Yu again.
"Not a military advisor yet, not only did he not let his younger brother go to pick up his eldest brother, but he scattered his subordinates and guarded them everywhere, and said that it was a strong wall and a clear field." Guan Yu took the first step back. He was very dissatisfied with Shan Fu's threat to Liu Bei before he left.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Shan Fu.
Shan Fu bowed slightly and said: "A few days ago, when I heard the news of Liu Jingzhou's murder, my subordinates knew that the lord had been framed, so they borrowed the order left by the lord to let General Guan guard everywhere to prevent the Jingzhou army and Cao army from sneaking attack. The subordinates believe that as long as Xinye is in one day, the lord will return. ”
"There are labor divisions who are tired, and they are prepared!" Liu Bei is a guy who can buy people's hearts, and he said, "The military advisor handles it properly, otherwise I really don't know where to prepare for it!" ”
"The Lord has said it, this is the duty of subordinates!" Shan Fu didn't dare to hold it up, so he was busy.
Guan Yu felt embarrassed on the side, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's been a long journey, why don't you go back and rest first?" ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, this trip is covered in dirt, and I will talk about it after bathing and changing." ”
"The eldest brother will go by himself!"
Liu Bei prepared hot water, and then went to the backyard to appease the children, and then bathed and changed clothes, and then went back to the front room.
"Since escaping from Xiangyang, don't dare to enter the city, Uncle Zhi is about the same, I don't know much, you guys first tell me what the situation is now."
Guan Yu immediately talked about Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong's succession, and deprived Liu Bei of the county magistrate of Xinye. Shan Fu is also on one side, checking and filling in the gaps from time to time.
After the two finished speaking, Liu Bei told him in detail what he had encountered in the state pastor's mansion, especially what Yi said.
That's it.
Shan Fu said: "As the lord said, although Liu Jingzhou is sick, he will not go so fast, obviously there is another reason. Judging from the news that the lord was blamed, it should be Cai Mao and Cai's doing. ”
"Really?" Liu Bei still didn't believe it.
"It's not more than 10 percent if it's not." Shan Fu also found it unbelievable.
Liu Bei had already believed Shan Fu's judgment, and was immediately furious: "These two people are really wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, how dare they, how dare they do this?" ”
Shan Fu soothed: "We can't delve into these for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is not to let the rumors spread, otherwise, not only Jingzhou, but the entire Han Dynasty will no longer have a place for us to stand." ”
Liu Bei's face sank, and he said, "I don't know if the military advisor has a good strategy?" ”
Shan Fu nodded and said, "For the sake of today's plan, first of all, the lord should immediately stand up and denounce Cai and Cai Mao and expose their conspiracy; secondly, send people to spread the matter of the Cai family brothers and sisters poisoning Liu Jingzhou, especially other states; Finally, and most importantly, the lord immediately raised troops to seek justice for Liu Jingzhou, and sent a letter inviting the rest of the counties to join the lord in fighting the thief. ”
"This ......" Liu Bei understood the deep meaning inside, and couldn't help but hesitate a little, "Brother Jingsheng just left, and we will take away his inheritance, isn't this inappropriate?" ”
"The Lord is benevolent!"
Shan Fu first complimented, and then said: "The subordinates learned that the eldest prince Liu Qi was stationed in Jiangxia, if the lord is worried about the truth, it is better to invite the eldest prince to send troops to Xiangyang together." ”
"In this way, not only can the lord get rid of the murder of Liu Jingzhou, but also the rest of the counties will not dare to act rashly."
Liu Bei still hesitated, and Shan Fu had to remind again: "Lord, don't forget that Cai Mao's brothers and sisters have planted the blame for the murder of Liu Jingzhou on the lord's head, if we can't clear the charge, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the Han Dynasty, and we can only go to the Western Regions. ”
Liu Bei woke up in shock and said, "Okay, then do it." Bei immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Qi Xian's nephew, inviting him to raise troops to seek justice for Brother Jingsheng. ”
I have to say that Cai Mao's brother and sister's vision was a little smaller, and they didn't take into account Liu Qi's existence, so that Shan Fu caught the loophole at once.
In the past, the news that Liu Bei intended to seize Jingzhou and murdered Liu Jingzhou came out, which made Liu Bei's reputation plummet!
In order to seize Jingzhou, the brother and sister first forced Liu Biao's eldest son away, and then framed Liu Bei, poisoned Liu Biao, and the news that Liu Cong, the pro-Cai clan, was appointed as the state pastor came out, which made the county soldiers in Guiyang and other counties who were originally ready to move silent.
This is not all, not long after, Liu Qi Yu Jiangxia personally told everyone that the reason why he came to Jiangxia was because someone persecuted him and worried about being murdered, so he asked for his life to go to Jiangxia.
As soon as this statement came out, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
The Cai Mao brothers and sisters fell from the peak to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, and the Kuai family, the Huang family, and the Xiang family all said that they would not participate in this matter, and everything would have to wait for the truth to surface.
Cai Mao was anxious to make another stupid move, and urgently sent a letter to Xuchang, hoping to get the imperial court's edict. In this way, it is no less than telling the world that Liu Cong's position is not right, and the court needs to prove his credibility.
Cao Cao was also bad, and he got the letter, but he just said that the cause of Liu Biao's death was unknown and could not be hastily decided. and withdrew Lushan's army together, making it clear that he would not participate in this matter.
