Cao Cao led his troops to Youzhou, and on the way he learned that Guo Jia had died of illness.

When I arrived in Youzhou, I found that the other party had already finished writing and had not had time to send it to Xudu, Cao Cao gave Guo Jia a big funeral and returned to Xudu with the last plan.

Shi Yue's side took Liao Hua to Runan.

The two disguised themselves as merchants in a hurry and entered the city.

"How many soldiers are here? Is it against us? Liao Hua muttered quietly.

"No, this is the place where Cao Renjun is guarded, besides, even if it is dealt with, it is against Liu Bei, Cao Cao should not have returned to Xudu, Liu Bei is missing, the first time must be looking for him, those people of them can't see me, it's normal, except for Cao Cao's call, the general doesn't meet with anyone else." Shi Yue explained.

The two of them casually found a booth to sit down and rest, and suddenly overheard two customers talking to each other.

"Did you hear that? Uncle Liu Huang has already gone to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. ”

"Uncle Liu Huang is in Xudu, how did the Son of Heaven go?"

"You don't know that......"

When Shi Yue heard this, he was a little surprised, so fast? Which way do they go? I didn't know the way at first, maybe I went to the wrong place, but weren't there a lot of them? Can't you be faster than me? I thought I could run into them on the road?

"This horse? Familiar, huh? Suddenly, a few soldiers passed by, and one of them said.

"The horses are all the same, can they not be familiar?" One of them said.

"It's not! I think I've seen this somewhere! ”

Shi Yue has tried his best to cover the red rabbit with decoration, it is still too conspicuous, here is Cao Ren guarding, there are many Cao soldiers who have come from Xudu, and many of them may have seen the heroic appearance of the red rabbit.

Shi Yue hurriedly went up and said, "Master Jun, this is my horse, I bought it from the people of the Western Regions to pull the goods." We merchants often have people who buy this kind of horse. ”

"Really?" The soldier was stunned, and he didn't know very well.

At this time, a soldier walked over, "Why are you doing here?" The soldier immediately ran away, and the soldier followed.

Shi Yue was frightened into a cold sweat, "Liao Hua, go quickly!" Can't stay here! ”

The two did not dare to stay here any longer, and hurried towards the city gate.

The soldier looked back at Shi Yue leaving, and muttered softly, "Childe, Pan Feng is about to leave Runan, and Liu Bei will go, everything is going well." ”

After the two of them left the city, they no longer took the avenue, tried not to enter the city, and went all the way to Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Xiangyang, Jingzhou

Liu Bei and his family members and others have been here, Liu Biao saw him last time, and secretly had a meeting with him, immediately went out to greet him, admitted him, set up a banquet to entertain, and talked about big things.

Cai Maoyue and others learned that Liu Bei was here, and immediately made an appointment to meet Liu Biao.

Cai Mao said: "Liu Bei suddenly came here, I am afraid there is a plan. ”

Liu Biao didn't believe it, and said: "You didn't say that last time, you want to say that he came here for Cao Cao to secretly wait for an opportunity." ”

Cai Mao: "That's not what I mean......"

Yan Yue said: "Liu Bei led his family and brothers to invest here, I am afraid that he is afraid of Prime Minister Cao, if the prime minister sends someone to let me wait for someone to hand over, if I don't pay." There will be killing. This person can't stay in Jingzhou! ”

Liu Biaoyan: "Liu Bei is the imperial uncle of the Han family, Cao Cao wants him, and he has no reasonable name, he will definitely not do this. Liu Biao stared away.

The two were speechless, the two of them dug a pit for themselves before, and now they have even fallen into it, they can't directly say that Cao Cao has the intention of swallowing the world, he is just coming to fight us Jingzhou. Liu Bei is here, and it is even more imperative. If he said this, Liu Biao would even keep Liu Bei down as a helper to defend against Cao Cao.

Liu Biao said: "It's okay, you can step down, I will have to make friends with Xuande later." ”

Cai Mao and the others had to leave temporarily.

"What now?" ”

Cai Mao said: "Don't worry, wait for the opportunity, this Liu Bei must be interested in my Jingzhou, he can't hide this tail, let's just wait for the opportunity." ”

Xu Du

After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he was very angry when he learned that Liu Bei had fled, and directly beheaded the soldiers who were watching to vent his anger. also knew that this matter was related to Pan Feng, and he was even more resentful. regretted that he didn't listen to Guo Jiayan, and beheaded him when he came back. Now something big is happening. Soon learned that Liu Bei had taken refuge in Jingzhou, he was ready to order an attack.

Xun Yu said: "The time has not come, our army has not completely rested after a long war, Jingzhou is vast, and now to attack, even if it is attacked, it will be difficult to defend later, and it will be plundered by the Jiangdong Sun army, and in the end I am afraid that it will be empty." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed and said, "What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, let's wait for a while." ”

For Liu Bei to leave Xudu and go directly to Jingzhou, Cao Cao did not have the name to arrest him back, everyone in the world knows that Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and virtuous, where he wants to go, he really can't care about it as the prime minister. If he messes with a name, the people of the world will not believe it, so he has to wait for the soldiers to finish their rectification and cultivation before going out.

Xiangyang

Shi Yue worked hard to get here, and finally came here, I don't know how many times I came, "I'm back again, Liao Hua, let's go find out where Liu Bei is?" ”

After entering the city, a dozen detectives found that everyone seemed to know about Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty, who had come here for the imperial court to help Jingzhou retreat from the enemy, and the people of Jingzhou were very grateful. Now that he is here again, he wants to assist Jingzhou Mu to govern together and resist the enemy together.

"Liu Datou's reputation is very good, how long has it been." Shi Yue was convinced.

Shi Yue looked at Liao Hua, "Liao Hua, you go to contact me, it's inconvenient for me, I may be recognized, and then the advisers in Jingzhou may think that I am here to lurk, and I can't say clearly." ”

Liao Hua said: "Don't worry, just leave it to me." ”

Liu Biao arranged a mansion for Liu Bei's family and others, and the people in the city basically knew that Liao Hua would find it after a while.

Liao Hua went to visit directly, and Liu Bei had no taboos, so he was invited. Knowing that the person who saved his life had come to look for him and planned to meet him in person, Liao Hua said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to, the general said that he has a special identity now, if you go, you will definitely be noticed by the people in the city, and he will also be exposed, I will come here with the general." Rest assured. ”

"By the way, the general also said, don't say his real name, the family slaves are afraid of being meticulous, so they will be called 'Shi Yue' for the time being."

Liao Hua left, Liu Bei was overjoyed, feeling that his ambition was finally about to start.

Shi Yue is still waiting for Liao Hua's return, "Cai Mao and Yue Yue are all from Cao's faction, they must be very angry about the appearance of Liu Datou, a chaotic person, if I were them, I would definitely send someone to keep an eye on where Liu Datou lives, the house slaves in the family are all here in Jingzhou, and there will inevitably be spies among them." They want to make sure that every move is under control. ”

"Liao Hua will definitely be noticed if he goes this time, and then Liao Hua and I will pay more attention. I have come to Jingzhou a lot of times, Cai Mao, Liu Biao, Han Song and others all know about me, I can't let them know my existence, I am very likely to be regarded as a spy, and I will be involved with Liu Datou and them later. ”

"Eh, Zhongda, look up to me, I can't take Liu Datou to take off, I still have to find the dragon."
