Liu Bei's current identity is just a civilian, after all, he has completely perished, and his status as an imperial uncle is not as good as before, so in the eyes of many people, he is just a commoner.

It was this civilian who actually relied on his own strength to almost prevent the attack of all Cao Cao's armies, and for a while, Liu Bei's name appeared in front of the people of the world.

There are even some people who can't help but remember that in the rumor a few years ago that Liu Bang's soul was returning to his hometown, someone directly and consciously guided Liu Bei's body, and for a while Liu Bei became famous again.

When the news of the defeat in the battle at the front came, Cao Cao's anger in his heart was also a little big, he sent Xiahoudun to send a full 100,000 troops, and Liu Bei came to burn Bowangpo. Although Xiahoudun's army did not have many casualties, its morale collapsed at the first touch, and most of them fled.

The entire army of 100,000 was trapped by a small Xinye City, which was simply a shame, a great shame, and Cao Cao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and he was furious there.

After Cao Cao had enough fire, many of the strategists below dared to raise their eyes and look at Cao Cao, among which Xun Yu stood at the head of the civil officials, he looked around and no one answered, he knew that at this moment he had to stand up and say two words, so Xun Yu still stood up and said to Cao Cao after summarizing the language a little.

"King, in fact, as far as I know, the reason why Liu Bei was able to burn Bowangpo was not because of how powerful Liu Bei was, but because Liu Bei recently recruited a new strategist named Zhuge Kongming, and the strategy of burning Bowangpo was made by him!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened, Kong Ming, what Kong Ming? Where did the counsellor come from? Besides, just a mere strategist actually defeated Xiahou Dun's 100,000 army, is this like a word?

But at this moment, Guo Jia, who was only standing behind Xun Yu, had a flash in his eyes, and stood up in an instant, he looked like Cao Cao and said.

"The king is still angry, I have heard about that Kong Ming, he does have some backgrounds, now General Xiahou's 100,000 army has just been defeated, morale is low, if you want to return to morale, you need a certain amount of rest, I already have the arrangement, I will prepare a big surprise for him Liu Bei!"

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became interested, and the anger on his face also dissipated a lot, and finally he endured this excitement, calmly discussed some other things with everyone, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, but after the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao still left Guo Jia behind, he wanted to ask Guo Jia, what kind of surprise was prepared for Liu Bei.

"Hehe, king, now it is obvious that what is in front of our army is that it cannot be attacked, it can only be outwitted, Liu Bei has that Zhuge Kongming by his side, maybe there are really some terrible, but then again, if Zhuge Kongming leaves Liu Bei, I'm afraid Liu Bei will not be able to show such calmness!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Guo Jia and nodded, and waved his hand, let Guo Jia's ghost pawn act now.

And Guo Jia also walked down with a smile on his face.

As for Liu Bei, who was staying in Xinye at the moment, his mood was also a little hesitant, looking at the young man who slowly got up and then walked out, Liu Bei's heart had a little stability.

Liu Bei has traveled countless times in his life, and he has reached this age, and he still has no place for himself to stand, so he can only rely on other people, which is indeed a little sad, Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is not a fool, he knows that because of Liu Bei's identity, Liu Bei has become a little sensitive here.

Liu Biao's personality is also very simple, as long as he doesn't come to invade his Jingzhou territory and doesn't covet the power from his hands, he won't care about other things.

At the same time, Liu Biao is also a person who pays a lot of attention to fame, and now Liu Bei is desperate to come to him as a member of the Han family, if he refuses directly, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed by others, so he just thought about it for a while, and he was ready to leave Liu Bei behind.

However, he will not provide Liu Bei, the Han clan, to eat and drink for nothing here, Liu Bei must do things if he wants to stay here, so he sent Liu Bei to Xinye and let him serve as the Taishou, Xinye is a small city, to be precise, a strategic city, because the geographical location is somewhat special, directly bordering the Wei State in the north.

Liu Bei's task there is very clear, that is, to guard against Cao Cao, originally Liu Biao was just a casual arrangement, but I didn't expect it to play a big role today, Liu Bei really defeated Cao Cao under Kong Ming's strategy.

But this is also Liu Bei's sorrow, he knows that the reason why he was able to win the battle this time was first of all because of Kong Ming's clever calculation, and secondly, there was a more important point than Xiahoudun's carelessness of the enemy.

Since he Liu Bei defeated Xiahou Xuan, then it shows a problem, he Liu Bei is now the enemy of the entire Wei State, if the Wei State is poured out with hundreds of thousands of troops, then he Liu Bei will not be cut to pieces.

When Liu Bei thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, he has been guarding here for Liu Biao, I don't know when it will be a head, he doesn't think that when Cao Cao sent a large army to fight here. Liu Biao will lend a hand.

However, in the face of this situation, Liu Bei could only lament in the end, and could only take one step at a time, and it was a day to do it.

As soon as Liu Bei beckoned, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu immediately walked in, Liu Bei looked at the two of them and then said earnestly.

"Second brother and third brother, I have discussed it with Kong Ming just now, Kong Ming expected that even if Cao Cao was defeated by the army, he would retaliate again, after all, Cao Cao's life experience this time is so big, it is impossible to end it like this, occasionally during this period of time, you must strengthen the city defense, and never allow outsiders to come in, especially the ghost pawns of Guo Jia of Wei State, it is even more strictly guarded!"

When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's order, they all surrendered their hands to Liu Bei to rest assured that the two of them were here, and they would never let Guo Jia's ghost pawn set foot in half a step.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are capable generals, maybe their IQ is not as good as Guo Jia, but under Liu Bei's advice, they chose to strictly guard against death, and they are conscientious every day, guarding the door, checking the people who enter and exit one by one, and in the end, Guo Jia's ghost pawn did not succeed.

Liu Bei had some differences in his heart, so he recruited Zhuge Liang again, and Zhuge Liang couldn't help frowning after listening to these words.

"Lord, what do you mean is that General Zhang and General Guan are changing guards day and night, and it is very hard, so the ideal order is to remove the strict defense of the city!"

Listening to Kong Ming's question, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Kong Ming, you have also seen it, now that so many days have passed, don't say a single figure on the side of the ghost pawn, not even a ghost shadow, if they really want to be unfavorable to me, it is impossible for so many days, whether it is outside the city or in the city, there is no movement at all!"

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and after a while, Zhuge Liang's eyebrows suddenly raised, looking like Liu Bei: "It's not good, their target is not here!" ”

Liu Bei was also shocked when he heard this, he seemed to think of something bad.

Although Liu Bei guarded Jingzhou for Liu Biao, the thing that is now in front of Wei is that it seems that Liu Bei is stationed in Xinye, and Wei definitely does not want to enter Chu State.

But this is just general thinking, for those who have creative thinking, this doesn't seem to be a difficult thing, for example, Guo Jia, obviously realized a problem, if you want the Great Chu State to fight the Chu State, why do you have to conquer Liu Bei first?

Of course, Liu Bei has Kong Ming's help and keeps Xinye as solid as a rock, but then again, no matter how strong Liu Bei is, he is just one side too guarded, even if he defeats Xinye, what can he do, so let's go directly to a little bigger, target Liu Biao.

When this sentence came out of Zhuge Liang's mouth, Liu Bei instantly had a dumbfounded feeling, Liu was in Xiangyang, Xiangyang is not comparable to Xinye, Xinye has entered a state of full combat readiness at this moment. Whether it is the people or the officers and soldiers, they are all extremely nervous, and they always maintain a high degree of vigilance.

But Xiangyang is different, Xiangyang is in the rear, there is no war, and under Liu Biao's governance in recent years, most of the policies adopted by Xiangyang are to recuperate, so today's Xiangyang can be said to be very prosperous.

Anyway, the war didn't burn here, Liu Biao did what he wanted, and he should eat and sleep every day. From time to time, I will attend the memorial service to inform the world.

If Liu Bei is not mistaken, according to the usual practice today, Liu Biao should attend a sacrifice to the sky again, so as to hope for a smooth weather this year.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's expression was completely flustered, and he immediately stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang.

"Lord, what are you doing!"

"Of course I'm going to ......" Liu Bei wanted to say that he was going to inform Liu Biao, but halfway through the words, there was a feeling that he couldn't go on, and he was hundreds of miles away from Xiangyang at all times.

Liu Bei couldn't help but look to the south, which was where Xiangyang was located.

Today the sun is shining, the sky is clear, it is a good time to worship the world, Liu Biao is also tidying up his clothes, under the gaze of hundreds of officials, slowly walk up to the altar, after worshipping heaven and earth, he will be admired by all the people of Jingzhou, this is his Chu King Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is a member of the Han family, since the beginning of the sensible year, he has not thought about anything, with his identity to inherit the position of a prince and general, he just wants to be stationed on one side, have a space of his own, and now he has finally done it, this is his Liu Biao's pride.

However, while Liu Biao was thinking about these things, and with the support of everyone, when he walked to the altar dignifiedly, an arrow suddenly struck, which directly broke Liu Biao's Spring and Autumn dream.

Liu Bei felt a pain in his chest, when he looked up, he only found a few people in black, who appeared in the crowd at some point, and were shooting at him with the crossbow machine in their hands at the moment.

And Liu Biao's subordinates finally reacted and saw this scene to his general. shouted in unison to protect the king of Chu, and then took the soldiers and horses and fired back directly in that direction.

The soldiers under Wen Ping can be described as the elite soldiers of Jingzhou, so I saw rows of soldiers pulling the bowstrings in their hands, and a few arrows from the brush shot out, and the assassins had already fallen in a pool of blood, but at this moment, Liu Biao seemed to be a little unable to hold on, so he fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and inexplicable, and a medical officer quickly ran over and carried Liu Biao into the carriage, and Liu Biao returned to his palace in this way.

Liu Biao, the king of Chu, on top of the formal ceremony of holding the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, actually predicted that this was a major event, which could be regarded as a top priority, so it immediately spread with the momentum of a beacon fire, after all, there were so many people present at that time, and it was impossible to hide it.

The incidents passed on by ordinary people by word of mouth are probably the same, but the news they got from the palace for a long time, or the high-level officials of the Chu State, was even more shocking, so Liu Biao successfully returned to the palace, and it seemed that there was no danger, but according to the medical officer, there was no poison on the two arrows.

When this news reached the ears of those people, it could be found that those high-level leaders of the Chu State had collapsed, and they really collapsed for a while.

Who those assassins were, in fact, there is no need to track them down at all, just think about it, you can know that nine times out of ten they are Guo Jia's ghost pawns.

In the past, Liu Biao only cared about preventing this part of Jingzhou, and did not want to mix with the battles between other princes, although the basic defensive ability was there, but he did not learn the slightest trace of advanced methods like this kind of treachery, and he did not establish a decent intelligence organization.

That's why the ghost pawn was mixed in so easily, and he also successfully set up Liu Biao's two arrows.

There was a strange poison on these two arrows, even if the medical officers did their best, but it is said that in the palace hall that night, there was a constant roar, and countless medical officers knelt tremblingly in front of the palace door.

Obviously, the reason for this situation is nothing more than that these medical officers are powerless about Liu Biao's condition. Some people even learned from the gossip in the palace that the poison on the arrow came from a strange poison in the world, at least among the medical officers of the Chu State.

This time, the high-level nerves of the Chu State tightened again, because many people unconsciously thought of one thing in their minds, if Liu Biao died because of this, then who should inherit the motherland?
