Although on the surface, Liu Cong was extremely reluctant to leave Guan Yu alive, but this was enough for Xu Shu to persuade Zhao Yun. In order to be insured, Xu Shu also pulled Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had already received Liu Cong's instructions to try his best to recruit talents from Liu Bei's camp, even Zhou Cang, Jian Yong and others did not let go, not to mention Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yunzong attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but he can't stand the lobbying of the two scholars, especially when Xu Shu said that Liu Cong was willing to spare Guan Yu, Zhao Yun's heart was moved. The contradiction between Liu Bei and Liu Cong, Zhao Yun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He knew that Liu Cong was willing to let Guan Yu go, even if it was under house arrest, he would need to take a big risk.

First of all, as long as the core members of Liu Bei's group are still there, Liu Cong has to prevent those under his command from gathering around this core to make a comeback.

Obviously, Guan Yu is the core figure of Liu Bei's group, second only to Liu Bei in status! Guan Yu is alive, and the people of Liu Bei's group, including Zhao Yun himself, as well as Zhou Cang, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others, even if they submit to Liu Cong, they may have two hearts.

Moreover, the people of Jingzhou will always pay attention to this only remaining core, because the other core personnel were executed by Liu Cong, the common people will largely have emotional deviations, from supporting Liu Cong to possibly sympathizing with the weak, hoping that they can return to freedom.

When the time comes, will Liu Cong be released or killed?

However, Liu Cong made a promise, and Zhao Yun must fulfill his promise, otherwise Guan Yu will still be dead.

When Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu appeared in the General's Mansion with Zhao Yun, Liu Cong still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Although Zhao Yun may not be sincere to himself at this time, maybe he himself is trying to save the people of Liu Bei's group as much as possible, or simply to let Liu Cong relax his vigilance to get out of Jingzhou smoothly.

But as long as he is willing to stay, Liu Cong is confident that he will convince Zhao Yun.

Over the years, Liu Cong has started recruiting Huang Zhong and Jiang Wan, including Zhuge Liang, and Liu Cong's evaluation of Liu Cong has become higher and higher, regardless of age. Liu Cong and Cao Cao's Fancheng battle, although Zhao Yun did not participate, but in Xiangyang and Xu Shu watched almost the entire process. If in the next few days, Liu Cong can quickly and completely control Jingzhou and show his talent, he is not afraid that Zhao Yun will not be convinced.

"General Zilong bravely crowned the three armies, and being able to serve Jingzhou is really a blessing for Jingzhou and a blessing for the Han Dynasty!"

"The general of the defeated army does not dare to speak bravely, thank you for taking it in!"

After the two were polite, Zhuge Liang took Zhao Yun to the new homestead that Zhuge Liang had found for him to settle down.

recruited Xu Shu and Zhao Yun from the original Liu Bei Group, and Liu Cong was already very satisfied. So soon Guan Yu was transferred from the dark prison to an ordinary private house, and next door to him was Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Cong's 'eldest brother' Liu Qi.

put Guan Yu under house arrest until he was with Liu Qi, and Liu Cong also showed his attitude to the outside world. That is, although Liu Cong will not execute them, he is afraid that he will not be free in this life.

Guan Yu heard that it was Zhao Yun who saved him by exchanging conditions with Liu Cong, and he was both grateful and annoyed. He was grateful to Zhao Yun for his affection, but what made him even more annoyed was that he was the only one of the three brothers who could live alone. Guan Yu knew that this time it was not a defeat in Xuzhou!! The army was defeated in Xuzhou, and the three brothers were scattered, and no one was seen alive, but they were also dead and did not see their bodies. Guan Yu has the courage to continue to live.

Now Liu Cong seems to be benevolent, but he puts himself under house arrest, and he lives alone, his brothers and sons will be executed, what kind of torment is this, Guan Yu always has the courage of ten thousand husbands, but he can't avenge them, and he can't die with them, this feeling is really worse than death!

This kind of mood may only be known to Guan Yu!

Even Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in prison were furious when they learned that Guan Yu was under house arrest, believing that Liu Cong was deliberately dividing and torturing their brother. But Liu Cong only needs Zhao Yun to recognize his behavior. In Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang's plan, Jingzhou couldn't accommodate Liu Bei, so Liu Cong never had the luxury of expecting Guan Yu to work for him! And Zhang Fei is even more impossible, even if he didn't kill Liu Bei himself, it was Cao Cao who killed him, Zhang Fei would not contribute to Liu Cong!

Therefore, Liu Cong no longer participated in the recruitment of the remaining personnel of Liu Bei's group, and entrusted Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu with carte blanche to do so.

And Liu Cong targeted Yu Ban in Cao Cao's camp.

If Yu Ban can be recruited again, plus Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, Liu Cong will be tantamount to winning another huge victory.

Zhao Yun's bravery is comparable to Liu Pan, and even higher than Liu Pan, Gan Ning and others. Yu Ban will be another Yu Ban, and Xu Shu will share it for Zhuge Liang to a large extent. Jingzhou's talents have doubled, and Liu Bei has disappeared and Cao Cao has converted most of the soldiers, and the pattern may change.

Yu Ban's treatment is much better than that of Liu Bei and others, they are also prisoners, and people are different! Yu Ban was actually very surprised by the treatment he received. It stands to reason that the defeat will not be as good as grass mustard, but since coming to Xiangyang, except for the first night of hunger, the following days can be said to be no different from ordinary people except for not being able to move freely in Xiangyang City!

But when Yu Ban was treated to the General's Mansion and Liu Cong greeted him with a smile, Yu Ban began to understand. Dare to love this young master of Jingzhou because he wants to recruit himself.

Liu Cong did not hide his appreciation for Yu Ban at all, and immediately asked someone to arrange a seat for Yu Ban after meeting, and explained his intentions straight to the point.

Brother Wen Ze was frightened. Cong has admired his brother's talent for a long time, but Cao Cao is a strongman, so that Brother Wen fell into Xiangyang ......"

"The general of the defeated army is ashamed, General Liu is smiling!"

"The water battle of the Han River is not your fault, the elite of my Jingzhou naval army is all on the Han River, even if Cao Cao leads 100,000 troops to the army, there is nothing to be done! Presumably, Brother Wen Ze also saw that Cao Cao's unrighteous army had no morale, and more than 30,000 soldiers in Jingzhou repelled his army of more than 100,000. It's not how powerful my Jingzhou soldiers are, but we stand on the moral high ground, and I, Liu Cong, am also determined to spend my whole life to support the Han family, I don't know if Brother Wen Ze can help me? ”

"General Meng will not give up, but the loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, and this matter will not be mentioned again!"

When Liu Cong was polite before, Yu Ban also greeted him with a smile, but after Liu Cong explained his intentions, Yu Ban directly refused.

Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, this matter must be mentioned again! This made Liu Cong a little embarrassed, but Liu Cong didn't plan to use force, so he had to let people stay in the ban first.

Liu Cong also knew that Yu Ban was not the same as Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others. Especially Xu Shu, as Liu Bei's military advisor, he first offended Cao Cao, and then offended Liu Cong, Liu Cong's Jingzhou was the place where Xu Shu took refuge for many years. Liu Cong is still more or less kind to Xu Shu and Zhao Yun.

Yu Ban has followed Cao Cao for many years, and he also has a certain status in Cao Cao's camp.

What Liu Cong was able to give him, Cao Cao had already given. Although he was captured by Gan Ning in the Han River, Yu Ban still hoped that Cao Cao would break through Xiangyang to save him, if he surrendered to Liu Cong at this time, how would he face Cao Cao in the future?

It's just that what Yu Ban didn't expect was that after Cao Cao retreated to Xinye, he didn't organize troops to fight back against Liu Cong, and when he saw Liu Cong in Xiangyang, Yu Ban also understood that Cao Cao was defeated, but he still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

But soon his heart quietly changed, because Liu Cong finally made up his mind to execute Liu Bei!

Liu Bei is a public nuisance in Jingzhou! This is the consensus of the civil and military officials who have followed Liu Cong over the years, so no one from Liu Cong's execution of Liu Bei after the war stood up to oppose it, and even those Xinye refugees who were temporarily resettled in Xiangyang rushed to tell each other!

The people of Xiangyang were originally sympathetic to Liu Bei, but the attitude of the Xinye refugees shocked the people of Xiangyang, is Liu Bei really as unbearable as Zhuge Liang said? executing a prince in troubled times, and being an imperial uncle, Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang did not put much thought into it, especially Zhuge Liang, who specially told Liu Ba who stayed in Jiangling. After Liu Ba heard that Liu Bei was captured, he immediately persuaded Liu Cong to kill Liu Bei, and listed Liu Bei's criminal evidence in detail.

Zhuge Liang summarized these criminal evidences, so in the announcement, Liu Bei became a shameless person who was unkind, unrighteous, unbelieving, and incompetent! He deserves to be punished! Becoming a king or defeating a king, Liu Bei doesn't have too many complaints about his fate!

Zhang Fei and Liu Feng were also executed, because Guan Yu was under house arrest, Liu Cong still left him a thought and left Guan Ping.

Who is Liu Bei, of course Yu Ban knows that Liu Bei's influence in Jingzhou is comparable to that of a Cao army general? Liu Cong killed Liu Bei who betrayed him before the war without mercy, and he was Liu Cong's strongest opponent Cao Cao's general, didn't it depend on Liu Cong's mood for a while?
