The Central Plains can't stay, Liaodong can't stay, and now even Wuhuan can't stay.

Keep running, or run to a foreign place, Wuhuan can't tolerate himself, then go to Xianbei.

This escape from Wuhuan is no better than the last time to escape from Liaodong. When fleeing Liaodong, Yuan Tan and the others learned the news in advance, so they could still make some preparations and leave with some water and food. And this time, they fled in complete panic, with empty hands and no time to bring anything.

There was no food and water, and the brothers gnawed yellow sand and swallowed grass roots along the way, and it was difficult to finally come to the territory of Xianbei Kebineng. It's also thanks to these delicate and expensive sons and brothers that they can persevere, and they didn't burp to death in the face of this huge torture.

The feast set up by Kebineng is very grand, but it is also very simple, a roasted whole sheep, plus a large bowl of mare's milk wine, this is all that is placed on the feast.

If you are a newcomer to the Han people, you will definitely be very unaccustomed to this foreign feast. Although the lamb is delicious, there is no ingredient here, and if you eat it directly after roasting, it will definitely make your mouth full of mutton. As for mare's milk wine, not to mention, that fishy smell is definitely not something that a newcomer can bear.

But now for the Yuan brothers, who are extremely hungry, no matter what food is, it is an incomparably delicious delicacy. A roasted whole sheep, divided by two by three, was gnawed by them until only a skeleton remained.

Kebineng was stunned. He had heard that the Han people had an idiom called gobbling up, and today he has seen it thoroughly. Corbineng even suspected that if the brothers had good teeth, they might have chewed up the last remaining skeleton of the sheep.

Originally, Kebineng still had a lot to ask, but looking at the situation of the other three holding their stomachs and looking happy today, Kebineng didn't have any intention of asking. Forget it, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to do it on this day or two, and it's the same if I ask again tomorrow.

————————————————————————————————

In January of the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), there was no war on Cao Cao's side, but Sun Jian and Liu Biao fought a big battle.

In this battle, Liu Biao took the initiative to attack Sun Jian, and the reason for the war was very simple, in order to recapture Jiangxia!

There are two major barriers in Jingzhou, one is Wancheng and the other is Jiangxia. And now, Wancheng is in the hands of Cao Cao, Jiangxia is in the hands of Sun Jian, the northern and southeastern barriers are lost, and the enemy can attack him at any time, how can this make Liu Biao sit safely.

Cao Cao is strong, and it is not ordinarily difficult to recapture Wancheng, and if he doesn't get it right, he will steal chickens and rice.

Since Cao Cao can't be provoked, and he can't afford to provoke him, Liu Biao naturally set his sights on Sun Jian in the southeast.

After all, Wancheng and Jiangxia, he wanted to recapture one anyway, otherwise it would be difficult to defend in both directions, and once they were attacked at the same time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Regarding Liu Biao's worries, his advisor Kuai Yue did not agree. Kuai Yue believed that it was not appropriate to fight with Sun Jian at this time, but should form an alliance with him to fight against Cao Cao.

Kuai Yue pointed out that Cao Cao now dominates the north and will sooner or later go south in the future. The short is three years, the long is five years, and Cao Cao will inevitably wave his troops to Jingzhou. At that time, Cao Cao was strong and his own side was weak, and it was difficult to defeat him with his own strength, and only by uniting with Sun Jian and attacking Cao Cao together could it be possible to reach the other party outside Jingzhou.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao have a grudge against their sons, and there are many capable people under their accounts, so they must know the truth of the cold lips and teeth. If he can make friends with Sun Jian, when Cao Cao invades the south, he will definitely be able to become a big help.

On the contrary, if you have a bad relationship with Sun Jian, the consequences will be unimaginable. If when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Sun Jian not only did not send troops to help, but took advantage of Jingzhou's danger to attack Changsha and other places, then Jingzhou really had only one way to change hands.

Regarding Kuai Yue's suggestion, Liu Biao also agreed with it at the beginning and felt quite reasonable.

Yes, the north has been pacified by Cao Cao, so one day, he will set his sights on the south. Even if he is respectful to Cao Cao, he will never stop expanding his power.

It seems that you really shouldn't have a bad relationship with Sun Jian now, so as not to make two strong enemies at the same time in the future.

Just when Liu Biao wanted to cancel the idea of capturing Jiangxia, the military advisor Cai Mao put forward an opinion diametrically opposed to Kuai Yue. Cai Mao insisted that it was Cao Cao who had the possibility of going south, and now it was better to take back Jiangxia as soon as possible. Although this will be a bad relationship with Sun Jian, for Sun Jian, the loss of one city and one place is far less than the deep hatred between him and Cao Cao, and even less than the foundation he established in Jiangdong. Cao Cao invaded the south, if Sun Jian saw death and did not save him, Jingzhou would be in danger of being overthrown. If Jingzhou is controlled by Cao Cao, then Jiangdong will not have many good days. Therefore, Cai Mao felt that no matter whether he recaptured Jiangxia or not, as long as Sun Jian did not want to lose his Jiangdong foundation, then when Cao Cao invaded the south in the future, he could only choose to help him.

Liu Biao thought about it for a while and felt that Cai Mao's words were more reasonable.

Yes, Cao Cao invaded the south, do you dare not help us? If Jingzhou is finished, you Jiangdong will be unlucky. If I don't take Jiang Xia back now, when Cao Cao goes south and the two sides join forces to fight, I will be even more embarrassed to ask for it.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are both important ministers of Jingzhou, and they both have a lofty status under Liu Biao's account. Kuai Yue was praised by Liu Biao as "the plan of the mortar criminal", the prisoner is a strategist under the command of Jin Wengong, good at trickery, and has made great contributions to the hegemony of Jin Wengong.

As for Cai Mao, she is even more trusted and valued by Liu Biao. After Liu Biao took office as the general of Zhennan, he appointed Cai Mao as his military advisor.

At the instigation of Cai Mao, Liu Biao finally decided to use troops against Jiangxia.

Cai Mao was ordered to be the main general, and Wen was hired as a deputy, leading 30,000 troops to attack Jiangxia.

At the same time, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei, who was stationed in Chuyang, to lead an army of 10,000 to assist Cai Mao in capturing Jiangxia.

At this time, Zhang Fei had returned to Liu Bei, and with Chen Zhi's hard training day and night, although the army under his control was not large, it was already quite powerful.

Regarding Liu Biao's instructions to let him assist Cai Mao and attack Jiangxia, Liu Bei was naturally dissatisfied in his heart. What are you kidding, I have only a small number of troops under my command, and it is not easy to train the army to look a little better, why should I die for you?

Assist Cai Mao? It's just a nice thing to say, when they really get to the battlefield, their men and horses are definitely arranged to fight to the death with the Jiangdong Army at the front line.

Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, and the army under his command are naturally the elite of one party. Although Liu Bei has made some achievements in training during this time, his biggest advantage is that he is self-aware, and he knows very well that with his 10,000 horses and horses, to fight the Jiangdong Army is simply to hit a stone with an egg, which is no different from sending him to death in vain.

Of course, Liu Bei will not let his dissatisfaction be superficial. Under the fence, he has no right to speak, and since Liu Biao has an order, he can only obey the order.
