After Jian Yong and Mi Fang were captured back to Xuchang, Cao 'Cao' was quite polite to them at first.

Although Jian and Mi are not outstanding in ability, they have followed Liu Bei for a long time and have an extraordinary status in Liu Bei's camp. If these two can help each other, although it is not of much use in specific matters, the significance is definitely extraordinary.

However, Cao 'Cao' also knew that it was not a matter of a day or two for these two to follow Liu Bei, and their loyalty to Liu Bei had long been engraved in their bones, and it might be impossible to make them apostatize.

In this regard, Cao 'Cao' does not force it, if the two of them defect to the best, then they will naturally have their benefits. If you can't surrender, then you can kill it.

Jian Yong's loyalty to Liu Bei could not be shaken at all, and in the face of Cao Cao's surrendered envoys, Jian Yong ignored them at all, and finally died with his head held high, and was ordered to be buried by Cao Cao'.

But to Cao's surprise, Mi Fang, who was captured with Jian Yong, surrendered very easily.

Even before the envoy sent by Cao 'Cao' could speak, Mi Fang took the lead in expressing his willingness to surrender.

It's not that Cao 'Cao' has never seen the behavior of switching to his master, and even many of his own people are generals, but like Mi Fang, who rushed to surrender before he could go to recruit him after being captured, Cao 'Cao' is really rare to see.

You know, that guy is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and he surrendered to himself without the slightest hesitation. In this regard, Cao 'Cao' can only sigh that there is no shortage of villains like Mi Fang who are completely unloyal in the world.

However, since Mi Fang surrendered, Cao 'Cao' naturally had a meaning, and he was given a fictitious position with no real power, and the title of Marquis of Guannei was added.

Although it is just a fictitious title, Mi Fang is already very satisfied, he has no ambitions, and he is very clear about how many catties and taels he has, and it is impossible to be reused by Cao, who is full of talents. Now that he has the title of Marquis of Guannei, he is more or less a nobleman, if he runs around under Liu Bei, I am afraid that he will be hopeless to be a marquis for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Mi Fang couldn't help but feel that her behavior of defecting to Cao couldn't be more correct, and the trace of guilt that arose from betraying Liu Bei was gone.

After Liu Bei's fiasco, he still returned to Jingzhou with the idea of luck, hoping that Liu Biao would open up the net and let him continue to live in Xinye.

For this reason, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian as an envoy to Xiangyang, hoping to convince Liu Biao.

Liu Biao also wanted to let Liu Bei stay in Xinye at first, after all, the news that Ma Teng and Sun Jian had also been defeated one after another had come, and he really needed someone as a barrier to continue to resist Cao Cao'. But his idea was severely opposed by Cai Mao, and even the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who were not of the same mind with Cai Mao on weekdays, also stood on Cai Mao's side this time, and resolutely opposed the continued admission of Liu Bei.

Everyone even suggested that people should be sent immediately to capture Liu Bei.

On this expedition, Cai Mao was the main general, and Kuai Yue joined the army, and the children of Cai's and Kuai's children naturally went to gild. These children of the scholar clan can be said to be the rising stars of the two families, but they were almost killed and injured in this battle, how can this not make the heads of the two families hate Liu Bei to the core.

Originally, in their eyes, this battle was a battle to be won, so they would send the outstanding children of the family to the army to 'mix' qualifications.

However, the battle was ultimately lost, and the losses were heavy.

The reason for all this comes down to Liu Bei's treachery, ill-intentioned, and unauthorized raid on Wancheng. If this were not the case, Liu Bei's troops stayed behind and resisted the sneak attack of the Cao army with the Jingzhou army, how could they be defeated?

No matter how calm Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang usually are, after losing so many excellent children at once, they can't be calm, and they all burn their anger on Liu Bei.

Although they knew that in the current situation, it was the best policy to continue to leave Liu Bei in Xinye to resist Cao's '', but they just couldn't stand this hateful villain moving under their noses.

What's more, in the battle of Wancheng, Liu Bei's ambition has appeared. If he is still left in Xinye, it may be an unstable factor, and it may not be reliable.

The Cai and Kuai clans, the two most powerful families in Jingzhou, were jointly opposed to the admission of Liu Bei, and Liu Biao could not dismiss their opinions.

It's just that the suggestion of sending someone to capture and kill Liu Bei was still suppressed by Liu Biao. For Liu Biao, Liu Bei also has the title of an imperial uncle, and he is the same clan as himself, and the act of capturing and killing is too much.

However, Liu Biao is kind-hearted, although Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue hate Liu Bei, they don't want to do things too much, but Cai Mao is different.

After Sun Qian left the city, Cai Mao sent people to catch up with him and kill him. Then he used his own 'private' soldiers to kill Liu Bei where he was stationed.

In Cai Mao's heart, Liu Bei must die as soon as possible, even if he is allowed to live for a moment longer, it will make Cai Mao feel extremely disgusting. ~
