Liu Bei and others were executed, so that the only remaining intention in Yu Ban's heart was shattered. Immediately after Yu Ban heard even more shocking news in prison, Wen Ping, Wei Yan and others would march together with Ganning by water, and capture prisoners all over the mountains and fields when Cao Cao retreated. The harvest was quite rich, and Cao Cao fled back to Xuchang without looking back.

In this era of war, captives are private wealth, and Liu Cong's insistence on Fancheng has already left Cao Cao with nothing to do.

If you add tens of thousands of newly acquired prisoners, it will be more difficult for Cao Cao to capture Jingzhou, and Yu Ban wants to wait for Cao Cao to rescue him, but he is afraid that it will be far away.

On this day, Zhuge Liang came to the prison again to visit Yu Ban and learned the lesson of Xu Shu's rejection. Zhuge Liang did not directly explain his intention at the beginning, but told Yu Ban about today's major events.

"General Yu, you don't know that Cao Cao was greatly injured after fleeing back to Xuchang after the defeat of Fancheng. My lord has reached an agreement with the Jiangdong Sun clan, and soon the generals will attack the Central Plains in two ways. Jiangdong soldiers and horses have been assembled, is expected to attack Hefei in December this year, our army will be a little rectified after the New Year will recover all the counties of Nanyang County, my lord is Jingzhou Mu, Nanyang County is subordinate to Jingzhou, the lord wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Yu Ban's face was even more ugly, if Sun Quan attacked Hefei, Cao Cao would definitely send troops to rescue him, now Jingzhou is undecided, Guanzhong Ma Chao and Han Sui are also eyeing each other, so there is no heart to manage Jingzhou in the short term.

"Mr. Kong Ming, the ban is the general of the defeated army, sir, please have something to say......"

"Oh, that's right, a few days ago, the lord ordered the execution of the traitor Liu Bei and others. It was proposed to the lord that the general would be executed along with him. The lord thought that the general was in command of the army, so he did not agree. Today, someone persuaded the lord, and the lord asked Liang to come and see the general...... "What Zhuge Liang said was not salty or light, but Yu Ban was shocked when he heard it.

Originally, the enemy prisoners would not end well, but I didn't expect that there were still people in Jingzhou who kept reminding Liu Cong from the side that they were afraid that they would die fast enough.

After pondering for a while, Yu Ban suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said with a slight trembling: "Mr. save me, Mr. save me!" ”

"General, Fei Liang is reluctant to save the general, but now the only one who can save the general is the general himself."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"The general followed Cao Cao to the south to conquer Jingzhou, and my Jingzhou soldiers naturally hated Cao Cao, and now that Cao Cao has retreated, everyone will transfer this hatred to the general. If it weren't for the lord's love for the general's talents, how could the general survive to this day? But the previous general rejected the lord's good intentions, and the lord still didn't give up, and this time I came to ask Liang to ask the general's thoughts.

In fact, the general may not know, don't look at the young age of my lord, but it is by no means comparable to the generation of Jiangdong Sun Quan, although Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains and Hebei. But my lord is a member of the royal family, and he is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone in the world yearns for him.

Cao Cao's return of the unrighteous teacher is proof of this.

In addition, my lord is twenty years old, and Cao Cao is already fifty and three, if Hefei is lost, Guanzhong has an accident, it is impossible to conquer Jingzhou within five years, five years, ten years later, my lord is thirty and standing, Cao Cao is dying of old age, and the merits are judged. Presumably, it is not difficult for the military to judge. My lord of the public Zhi Kuang Fu Han room, will definitely send troops to the Central Plains, when the Central Plains dragons have no leader, my lord will definitely succeed! ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Yu Ban was tempted, so he began to give Yu Ban a beautiful blueprint to follow Liu Cong, the meaning is obvious, you are now at the peak of your life, it is very important to follow the right person, the confrontation between the north and the south, if five years and ten years, Cao Cao is not necessarily, the fifty-year-old Cao Cao can't beat Liu Cong in his twenties, and ten years later, Liu Cong, who is in his thirties, is not as powerful as a bamboo in the face of Cao Cao, who is in his sixties.

Yu Ban fell into contemplation again, he knew that Zhuge Liang's coming this time seemed to be casual, but in fact, he had made careful preparations. Every sentence touched Yu Ban's heart.

"Sir, let me ask, if I insist on not surrendering, what will your lord do with me?"

"Obviously, the general will soon be with Liu Bei and the others!"

Yu Ban's ability to be cautious and tentative, but Zhuge Liang is an outspoken threat!

“……”

"The general is a skill, it is the peak of life, my lord is thirsty for talent, the general is a smart person, I think he can make the right choice. However, now there are people in Xiangyang City every day who persuade the lord to execute the general like Liu Bei and others, so he also asks the general to make a decision as soon as possible! “

"I ...... I will be obedient. ”

"Very good, very good, come, come, please come with me to see my lord."

Liu Cong has actually been waiting for Zhuge Liang's news, and when he saw the two coming, Liu Cong got up from his seat to greet him.

Liu Cong carefully observed Yu Ban, about forty years old, although he was a little haggard, he still did not lose the demeanor of a general. I thought to myself, this is the person Cao Cao once praised, when Zhang Xiu rebelled, he crusaded against the Qingzhou soldiers who did not abide by military discipline, and at the same time held the camp to meet the enemy, so Cao Cao praised him for being comparable to the ancient famous generals. In 198, it was embroidered in the spine. Capture Lu Bu in Xiapi. In 199, he attacked with Shi Lian, Cao Ren, and Le, and broke through the shooting dog.

It can be described as a lot of achievements, Cao Cao, I'm sorry, I dug into the corner!

"Lord, Liang is worthy of his mission, and the general has brought it."

"Yu is forbidden to see the lord!"

"Okay, okay, I have the rules, and I have added another tiger general, why don't you worry about the big plan?" Later, Liu Cong had a casual chat with Yu Ban, and asked Zhuge Liang to lead him to arrange a place to live.

At the same time, Xu Shu's side also successfully persuaded Zhou Cang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, so far Liu Cong had already grabbed the greatest benefits in this war initiated by Cao Cao.

In terms of the people, tens of thousands of people in Xinye fled to Xiangyang, and only a small number of the people in Xinye who were rescued from Xiahoudun were willing to continue to return to Xinye, and most of them were placed in Nanjun by Liu Cong.

In terms of the army, in addition to more than 3,000 war horses, there were nearly 20,000 Cao army prisoners, most of these people were infected with the plague and could not run fast. After eliminating the losses in the war, the defenders near Xiangyang went from 60,000 to 75,000.

The generals are even more bumper, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, and Yu Ban are all first-class famous generals, and Liu Cong's original important generals are not much different, and some second-rate generals have also greatly enriched Jingzhou, after all, to fight against Cao Cao for a long time, the number of soldiers is the hardware, especially the number and quality of the generals.

Just when Jingzhou was cheering for the victory, the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan also lost no time in sending a congratulatory letter to Liu Cong to express his attitude.

The Xiangyang Wang clan, represented by Ma Liang's Ma clan, also expressed their loyalty to Liu Cong and donated money and food to help resettle the refugees from Xinye. Even Cai Mao, who almost stood on the wrong team in the battle, was quite relieved, but he was the only one who had the most difficult time.

This person is an Iraqi citizen!

It is said that Yi is also a famous man in Jingzhou, and he is quite talented, but at a critical moment he took refuge in Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei was destroyed and he was also captured. It's just that after Liu Cong captured him, he didn't say anything and put the Yi nationality back to Xiangyang.

The more Liu Cong didn't move, the more difficult it was for Yi to endure.

Hearing that Liu Cong had surrendered to Yu Ban, Yi Zhi begged to see Liu Cong.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cong met with the Iraqi very politely.

"Mr. Jibo, thanks to you before, Cong wants to apologize to Mr. here, he shouldn't hide it from Mr. and take advantage of Mr. to report to Liu Bei and others when he designed to capture him!"

"This ......" Yi Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, his heart was weak in this matter, he attached himself to his fellow villager Liu Biao very early, but secretly contacted Liu Bei to ask him to take care of him, and even abandoned Liu Cong and defected to Liu Bei before the start of the war between Liu Cong and Cao Cao.

The ancients paid the most attention to these, especially Liu Cong was the young master, and this kind of betrayal was even more hateful.

Liu Cong didn't say that Yi also knew that he was guilty, but he was lucky, in order to save the family as much as possible, so as not to be wiped out like Kuai Yue. said that it was a fluke, but the Yi nationality was actually nervous, he saw Liu Cong's decisiveness in the previous killing, from the beginning of Liu Cong's gradual emergence, Wu Ju, Kuai Yue, Liu Bei, which one is not stronger than the Yi nationality?
