Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and Wu Anguo were the four of them who left with their troops before their lords. And they led 30,000 troops straight to Shuofang County, which had the smallest population and the worst environment in Bingzhou.

In fact, this Shuofang is easy to take, but many of this place are deserts, so the environment in this county is the worst.

However, Ma Chao was well prepared, he had already spent a lot of money, invited several local guides in Bingzhou, and sent them to Zhang Fei. Because you can't do it without a guide, it's really useless to rely on that map alone. Because no matter how you go, unless you are taking a detour from the territory of a foreign race, it is necessary to pass through the desert after putting aside this and entering Shuofang from the West River and taking Linrong City.

And if you really go to the wrong place and get lost, then after the army enters the desert, it is likely that it will never be able to get out again. Therefore, Ma Chao did not dare to let his soldiers take risks easily, so not only did he prepare a lot of supplies, grain, grass and water, but also spent a lot of money to hire several guides, and took Zhang Fei and them to Linrong City.

If you want to say that Linrong City, the seat of Shuofang County, it is definitely not the most dangerous city in Dahan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But it is definitely the most bad city, because the north and south sides of this city are quite good, but there are deserts on the east and west sides, and they are all famous deserts.

So Ma Chao didn't let the guide take Zhang Fei and them, at least Ma Chao knew that with the guide, he could take them around the desert, take the nearest road, and attack Linrong City. Although you can't avoid the desert no matter how you walk, but crossing the big desert, or walking a short stretch of desert, which is easier, this fool knows how to go-

In Jiangling in Jingzhou, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao ushered in Liu Bei and others who came from afar. And now Liu Bei and his party are no longer four people, but a group of people. Fortunately, after subduing Zhou Cang and them. All the way through Nanyang County, where Cao Cao's control is not very strong, if it is not still in Yuzhou, it is really easy to be found.

They passed through Nanyang, and Liu Bei reached Nanjun, and Liu Biao, who knew the news, personally led his subordinates and others out of Jiangling City to meet Liu Bei. To put it bluntly, it is for the world to see. After all, he and he Liu Xuande are both relatives of the Han family, and now the Han family is in decline. If the people of the same sect don't get along well, then the Han family won't be able to support them. What's more, Liu Bei is defecting to himself, so he has to make a gesture and let the world see himself, Liu Jingsheng is still a corporal of Lixian-

And after the two met. Liu Bei said to Liu Biao: "Brother Jingsheng, Bei has admired the name for a long time. See you today. It's really a blessing for three lives! ”

These words came out of Liu Bei's mouth, and Liu Biao knew that Lu Dao was a compliment, but he was really happy in his heart. After all, he, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, is in the world, and he is more famous than himself, so if he says a word, he will have more face in front of his subordinates.

Liu Biao smiled. "Brother Xuande Xian came from afar, hurry, hurry up and follow his brother into the house!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically pulled Liu Bei into the governor's mansion. People in the know. Zhilu said that this was the first time the two had met, and they had never seen each other before. I don't know what to do, I thought the two were old people who hadn't seen each other for many years. In fact, it is said that it is an old man, and it is not without reason at all. At least among all the princes today, the Han clan now only has Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and he Liu Bei, and there is no third.

So, in fact, no matter where you say it, the two should actually be as close as possible, after all, both of them are of the same clan, they are relatives of the Han family, and strictly speaking, the other princes, that is actually a rebellion-

After everyone followed the two into the state pastor's mansion, they went to the living room and sat down, and Liu Biao first introduced Liu Bei to his subordinates, and sure enough, there were really a lot of people under Liu Biao, anyway, it was definitely not comparable to him Liu Bei. After seeing it, Liu Bei also briefly introduced several of his subordinates to Liu Biao, naturally including Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who had just defected to him before.

After everyone had seen each other, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei: "I don't know about the current battle in Guandu, since Brother Xuande Xian came from there, he must know some specific information, right?" ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly, "When I came, Yuan Benchu's army had not yet crossed the Yellow River, and it is estimated that it would have already confronted Cao Mengde by now!" So Brother Jingsheng asked Bei, it is better to say that he should be Bei to ask Brother Jingsheng! ”

Liu Biao smiled, as soon as he heard what Liu Bei said, he said in his heart that you Liu Xuande really didn't know as much as me. It seems that when you left, it was true that Yuan Benchu hadn't made a big move, and you had been in Nanjun these days, and Yuan Benchu had already confronted Cao Mengde in Guandu, but there was no big movement on both sides, which was unpredictable.

However, although Liu Bei didn't know what happened after he left, he still told Liu Biao about the two previous confrontations between Yuan Shao's Jizhou army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. And when Liu Biao listened, he also had to sigh that this war was really far away from him.

First of all, he really doesn't like to lead troops to fight, and now he Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi can't take care of their Jingzhou. And the only one who is relatively idle is Sun Ce Sun Bofu in Yangzhou, but he doesn't have that strength now, and it is said that Jiangdong is in full swing at this time, so it is enough for him to be anxious, and at this time, how can he have time to expand his territory-

At dinner in the evening, Liu Biao naturally personally set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei and others, and his subordinates also accompanied him.

During this period, Liu Bei felt that these people in Jingzhou were estimated to have been comfortable for too long, so they basically didn't care much about the war in Guandu, as if they had nothing to do with them. Liu Beixin said. Now Nanyang is divided into three points, and Guandu Yuan Cao is in the middle of a big war, although it is not very close to Jingzhou, but how can it not have anything to do with it.

Let's just say that after he Cao Mengde is going to win, he will take his Yuan Benchu's territory, then it will be strange if he doesn't enter Jingzhou after that, not to mention Si Li and Hanzhong, which are all Ma Mengqi's territory, and Ma Mengqi may not have any thoughts about Jingzhou. But it's ridiculous, now the people of Jingzhou are still drinking happily at this time. There is no sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace. What it means to be treated has nothing to do with them, and now everyone is "drunk today".

Liu Bei himself had to sigh in his heart, and said in his heart that if there is a master, there is basically a subordinate of what kind of subordinates.

Look at him Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng. It is in vain for the Han clan to be a clansman, so that the people of the world call it "the dog of the household". That's not for no reason. Look at it this way now. It makes so much sense. And with such a lord, if you look at his subordinates, there is basically no much difference from him Liu Jingsheng. Therefore, the subordinates of the "Dog of the Household" are basically the "Dogs of the Household", but although it is not absolute, those are lonely and difficult to sing. How can it be of great use-

After the dinner, everyone said goodbye to Liu Biao and Liu Bei one after another.

And Liu Biao naturally saw it a long time ago at this time, and he, a virtuous brother of Xuande, seemed to have something to say. I have to say it to myself. So it just so happened that he also sent everyone else away, and Liu Bei naturally did the same. He glanced at Tai Shici and a few people, and a few people understood, and then they all said goodbye and went down to rest, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei were left in the back room.

After seeing that everyone had left, Liu Biaoxin said that this time it was quiet, so he asked Liu Bei, "Does Brother Xian have anything to say to Brother Wei?" ”

Liu Bei smiled, neither of them had drunk much, so they were both very sober, and he said to Liu Biao at this time: "Brother Jingsheng really doesn't have any ideas?" ”

When Liu Biao heard this, what should he think?

"What do you mean?"

Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao's expression, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, although Liu Bei came to Jingzhou from Yuan Shao's escape, but if he could make trouble for Cao Cao, Liu Bei would still not be stingy with this.

Liu Bei didn't say anything directly, but just told Liu Biao about him in Xu Du. When Liu Biao heard this, he didn't actually say that he didn't have any ideas in his heart, after all, as a member of the Han family, seeing that the Han Dynasty was like this now, it would be strange if he could be in a good mood. However, even if Liu Biao has that little thought, he is not completely talking in Jingzhou, so with only half of the power, he can decide anything.

To put it bluntly, you have to look at the eyes of Cai's to act, this is true. Jingzhou Mu is his Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng, but when he speaks, he is definitely not his Liu Biao.

Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao was already silent at this time, Liu Bei said in his heart, if he had the strength of you Liu Jingsheng, he would have sent troops a long time ago, and he was still nesting in Jingzhou here?

So he said: "Brother Jingsheng, now is a great time for soldiers to enter Xudu, if you miss it, you will never have a chance again!" ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he said in his heart that Liu Xuande was really the case. But when the soldiers enter Xu Du, do you really think that Xu Du can be taken down so easily? When the key troops entered Xudu, they had to first remove Cao Mengde's nails in Nanyang, and then they could enter Yuzhou to Xudu. But even if he wants to go, but Cai Mao, can they agree, who doesn't know that he Cai Mao is a pro-Cao faction, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, Liu Biao could only smile bitterly at Liu Bei: "Brother Xian should also know that now the east of Nanyang is occupied by Cao Mengde, so if you want to enter Xudu, you must first take the territory of Nanyang occupied by Cao Mengde." But even if it is taken, but the troops can enter Xudu, and they have to pass the Yingchuan Zhucheng, which is probably difficult for the soldiers to come to the city of Xudu! (To be continued......)
