Liu Bei began to fantasize in his heart that if Liu Yu was defeated this time, then his reputation would definitely reach a new height. The history books will forever record that Liu Xuande, the uncle of the Han Dynasty, united with Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Cao Cao of Yuzhou against the tyrant Liu Yu. Uncle Liu Huang endured humiliation and burden, and successfully revitalized the Han Dynasty for the sake of the Han world.

Some people may wonder, in fact, Liu Yu was very good to Liu Bei at the beginning, so why didn't Liu Bei want to take refuge under Liu Yu. With Liu Bei's strength at that time, it was not difficult to make some achievements under Liu Yu, and it was not a big problem to achieve high-ranking officials in the end.

But this suggestion, which seems good, is not in Liu Bei's heart. Liu Bei came out to mix from the beginning, perhaps to glorify his ancestors and restore the identity of the Han family.

After the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thanks to Liu Yu's secret help, Liu Bei realized this wish many years earlier than before.

Human nature has a natural inferiority, that is, not being satisfied with one's current situation. Liu Bei successfully realized his initial wish, and other thoughts were bred in his heart, such as becoming a member of the party and achieving a great career.

The matter in Xuzhou also allowed Liu Bei to achieve this. After making the history of Xuzhou, Liu Bei suddenly found that he was not so bad, and he also had the same opportunities and abilities as all the princes in the world, and Liu Bei began to look at the princes of the world with an equal attitude. If Liu Bei was humble at the beginning, then when he sat in the position of Xuzhou Thorn History, he felt very good about himself, and he had forgotten his humble background. After that, Liu Bei had even greater ambitions. This ambition was provoked by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was united by all the princes and killed, and finally died at the hands of Liu Yu. But all the princes secretly admired Yuan Shu, although this person was a little stupid, but he did something that others did not dare to do. In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, except for Wang Mang usurping the throne and becoming emperor, that is, Yuan Shu dared to do this. A person like Yuan Shu, who doesn't have much earth-shattering strength, dares to sit in the position of the emperor, Liu Bei never thinks that he will be worse than other princes, and he has the identity of a clan member of the Han family, why can't he continue to climb up.

So now Liu Bei's ambition is no longer simply to become a prince, he has a greater purpose, even the position that Liu Yu is doing now.

Why not? That's what Liu Bei thought.

But the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper. With Liu Bei's current strength, it is better to defeat Liu Yu's southward journey this time.

And Liu Yu is really a big mountain in Liu Bei's heart, which makes him out of reach, as long as he defeats Liu Yu this time, even if he joins forces with other princes to achieve it, Liu Bei will not have Liu Yu's shadow in his heart.

For Liu Yu's war, Liu Bei must win.

After Liu Bei made arrangements, he asked Wei Yan to go to Xiakou and cooperate with Jiangdong's defense at any time.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei naturally didn't expect that Liu Yu's large-scale gathering towards Wulin Port was to confuse them.

Cao Cao in the north has gathered his army in Runan County at this moment. The main general, Cao Ren, waited for Cao Cao's orders every day.

Before Cao Ren set out on the expedition, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren not to take rash action, and small-scale harassment was okay, but it could not attract Liu Yu's main forces to his side. So Cao Ren marched on Nanyang, but only after a small battle and then retreated.

Zhang Xiu of Nanyang was blinded by Cao Ren, but he was also afraid that Cao Ren was luring him out to fight in the field, so Zhang Xiu also maintained a defensive trend, and at the same time constantly reported the relevant situation to Xiangyang.

Cao Ren of Runan also received the news of Liu Yu's large-scale assembly in Wulin Port, and he reported to Cao Cao of Shouchun without saying a word. Cao Ren was also very depressed during this time, with so many troops, and stayed in Runan all day. How Cao Ren wanted to kill Liu Yu immediately, so as to avenge the dead Cao Hong. So what Cao Ren needs most now is that Cao Cao gave him the order to attack.

Before Cao Ren's information arrived, Cao Cao already knew about Liu Yu's relevant actions.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought, he felt that Liu Yu's large-scale move was definitely a conspiracy. Cao Cao heartily changed himself to Liu Yu's situation, if he Cao Cao encountered such a situation, then he would definitely not choose to fight Jiangdong.

"This Liu Yu is really, who must be calculated when putting on such a posture? Could it be that you want to calculate the loneliness? If he finds out about Lone's intentions and then wants to use this to lure Lone to attack Nanyang and Yingchuan, then this matter will be a bit troublesome. Cao Cao was constantly calculating the relevant gains and losses in his heart.

Cao Cao didn't know what Liu Yu's purpose was, if he was calculating, once his soldiers and horses attacked Liu Yu at this time, I was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses.

"Do you want to inform Sun Ce and Liu Bei?" Cao Cao said to himself.

At this time, Guo Jia arrived at Cao Cao's place and heard Cao Cao's words, so he asked, "Lord, what did you just say you wanted to inform Sun Ce and Liu Bei?" ”

"It's Bonghyo. You should also have received the matter of Liu Yu's large-scale build-up of troops. Lone concluded that Liu Yu must have a conspiracy, but he didn't know which person this conspiracy was aimed at. So I've been hesitating whether to tell Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Cao Cao told Guo Jia the truth.

"Lord, the three of us have joined forces to deal with Liu Yu. Liu Yu is destined to have no good results. But have you thought about it, my lord? Now Liu Yu's most basic purpose is the south, not us. We are also in line with the principle of cold lips and teeth to help Sun Liu, but also to achieve our own strategic goals. There is no need to completely share their worries and solve their problems. Guo Jia directly suggested to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao felt that it made sense, the three families were united, and their respective purposes were different. If Cao Cao pulled all the pressure on himself, it would be a fool's act, and Cao Cao didn't need to do it.

"In that case, let's stay put. Fengxiao, you go and convey Lone's order, so that Zixiao can't act rashly. "Cao Cao still has his own purpose as the core.

"Yes!" Guo Jia arched his hand and said.

Cao Cao thought to himself: Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you made a big mistake this time. When Lone achieves his goal, it will not be easy for you to dominate the world. I don't know who killed the deer.

Liu Yu and Lu Bu, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, and of course Tian Feng, who had to follow him no matter what, they now took 50,000 soldiers and set off from Xiangyang in the dark of night, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided into several divisions, and then concentrated in Caiyang, transferred to Anchang, and then went to the capital county bordering Jiangxia County. The 50,000 army made a big circle, just in case Liu Bei knew Liu Yu's true intentions.

On the way to Duxian, Dian Wei didn't understand what Liu Yu meant, and muttered, "Lord, why are we working so hard." It would be much easier to kill directly from Xiangyang to Duxian. ”

Liu Yu knew that Dian Wei didn't know his true intentions, and when Liu Yu hadn't spoken, Lu Bu said sarcastically: "I said evil, have you drunk too much in your brain recently, from Xiangyang to Duxian it is necessary to cross the river, we have so many soldiers and horses to cross the river, how many boats do we have to do." Liu Bei is not a fool, he must always pay attention to our situation. was discovered by him, isn't that a waste of work? ”

Lu Bu still holds a grudge against Dian Wei's bet with himself, although Lu Bu admits that he has no evidence to prove that he won, but Dian Wei is stubbornly pestering, and almost drank Lu Bu's month's worth of Yulu. I think Lu Bu is also a family now, there are still a lot of children, and he has to eat and drink every day, and his income is gone for almost a month, and Lu Buke is distressed to death. So Lu Bu seized the opportunity and would brush Dian Wei fiercely.

Dian Wei was said this, and said angrily: "Lu Bu, what did you say? Kind of say it again! ”

"Alright, you two just have to say a word." Tian Feng couldn't get used to the frequent bickering between the two.

After being told by Tian Feng, Dian Wei and Lu Bu immediately shut up. There is no way, Tian Feng is a well-known hard bone in Liu Yujun, they don't want to offend Tian Feng, lest Tian Feng join them in the future.

After the two muddy people shut up, Tian Feng smiled slightly, his deterrent power was still there. It's just that when he saw Liu Yu, his whole face collapsed, Liu Yu was even more difficult than him Tian Feng. Tian Feng himself can't guarantee whether he can stop Liu Yu from doing anything this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion. After we arrived in Duxian, Your Majesty, you have been running around for so long, so let's rest for a while. Let the three generals Dian, Lu, and Zhang do this assault on Jiangxia. Tian Feng said suggestively.

Tian Feng just wanted Liu Yu to stay in Duxian, as long as Liu Yu didn't go to the front line, then Liu Yu couldn't do anything dangerous.

But Liu Yu wouldn't let Tian Feng get his wish, and said, "But where are you going?" I'm not a helpless man. Besides, this time I am the royal driver, where is the reason why I find a place to hide and let the soldiers fight on the front line. ”

Tian Feng was furious, he really wanted to say Your Majesty, what do you want to do, what are you doing on the battlefield if you have nothing to do?

"Your Majesty, the son of a daughter can't sit down. Think again. Tian Feng tried his best to persuade Liu Yu.

Of course, Liu Yu knew that Tian Feng just didn't want to see him go to the battlefield, but he still had enough reasons and said: "Yuan Hao, I have arrangements in Jiangxia, and I can only go to arrange them in person." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister can serve." Tian Feng said directly.

Liu Yu glanced at Tian Feng and said dissatisfiedly: "What? Do you want to know even my secrets? ”

"Don't dare! Don't dare! Tian Feng was so stunned by Liu Yu that he was very nervous.

Liu Yu snorted coldly, Tian Feng really violated Liu Yu's taboo just now. As the emperor, Liu Yu directly controls the huge intelligence machine of the "Dark Department", and Li Gui is just a manager. If Tian Feng dared to meddle in the "dark department", Liu Yu would be the first to kill him.

Liu Yu's eyes kept staring in the direction of Jiang Xia, and he thought in his heart: It should be almost.

When Liu Yu set off from Xiangyang, he asked the "dark department" to convey a message to Mi Zhu in Jiangxia, asking him to start preparing for Liu Bei's calculations and start the previous plan.

Mi Zhu received Liu Yu's order very early, he sent a special person to follow up Liu Yu's whereabouts, and learned that Liu Yu was about to arrive in Jiangxia, Mi Zhu immediately set off to Liu Qi's residence and found Liu Qi.

"Good news, Lord Thorn. His Majesty has sent a large army to secretly march, and it is almost Jiangxia. Lord Thorn Shi's life under the fence will soon come to an end. Mi Zhu said with a smile.

"Really? That's great! Lord Mi, how can the lower officials cooperate with you. Liu Qi was naturally happy, he had long wanted to leave Jiangxia, he was watched every day, and he didn't have much power, just like a prisoner.

"I have a complete grasp of it. Now it's up to you to pretend to be sick. Mi Zhu said.

Mi Zhu had already dug a tunnel under Liu Qi's mansion to allow people from outside the mansion to enter. The reason why Mi Zhu wanted Liu Qi to pretend to be sick was to lure Liu Bei here, and then ambush and kill Liu Bei in time.

Liu Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said worriedly: "Liu Bei, will he come?" And Liu Bei has fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Wei Yan by his side, so we won't be able to eat and walk around when the time comes, right? ”

Mi Zhu secretly scolded Liu Qi for being cowardly, and now the plan is to send Liu Qi to cooperate and pretend to be sick, and Liu Qi is afraid, of course Mi Zhu can't let Liu Qi worry, so he said: "My lord, don't worry." Wei Yan was already stationed in Xiakou. Zhang Fei was in charge of the city's defense. The brothers below will naturally get Zhang Fei done. And under the safety of adult is guaranteed by all means. ”

Liu Qi is still very worried about whether he will be sold by Mi Zhu, but now he and Mi Zhu are people in the same boat, and it will not work if he does not cooperate.

"Lord Mi only needs to make arrangements, and the lower officials will definitely cooperate." Liu Qi plucked up his courage and said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has issued a decree requesting that your safety be guaranteed. Adults are missing a hair, and they have to use their lives to offset it, adults can rest assured! Mi Zhu told a lie.

With such an answer, Liu Qi's heart felt a lot more comfortable.

After Mi Zhu and Liu Qi finished discussing, they immediately left Liu Qi's mansion, and he had other arrangements. At the same time, Mi Zhu let the spies of the "dark department" monitor Liu Qi in secret, if Liu Qi repents at the last moment, then he must kill Liu Qi immediately, and Liu Qi must not be allowed to miss Liu Yu's big event. It's double insurance.

Mi Zhu returned to the place where he and his subordinates and the "shadow" spies secretly gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army will come. We've been dormant for so long, and it's time to end. Now everyone is going to do what they planned! Mi Zhu said softly.

"Yes, sir!" All of Mi Zhu's subordinates and the "shadow" spies left from here quickly, Mi Zhu had already told them the plan, and they all had their own responsibilities in their hearts.

When Mi Zhu thought of Liu Bei's fate after being calculated by him, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Liu Bei in his heart, and said to himself: "Liu Bei, people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, don't blame me!" ”
