Liu Biao did not use too many newcomers, but killed a lot of Jingzhou scholars.

However, the separate conversation between Liu Bei and Liu Biao ended here.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Fu Tong and his 3,000 men set off for Xiangyang City together.

Although these 3,000 Nanyang soldiers have not followed Fu Tong for a long time, after Wei Yan's training, coupled with the knowledge and experience of the Battle of Wuwei Village and the Battle of Liyang City, they finally got rid of the appearance of new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness may not have increased much, but in terms of military appearance and discipline alone, they are much stronger than the soldiers trained by the generals under Liu Biao.

Halfway through, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led 10,000 soldiers and horses to greet Liu Biao and his party on the north bank of the Han River.

Seeing the two of them like this, in fact, most of the anger in Liu Biao's heart had disappeared. Because, after thinking about it for a day and a night, and the conversation with Liu Bei, he had already figured it out. If Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning really had to leave, the spies he had sent to monitor the two would naturally be useless. It is reasonable that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not notice it in advance.

"How's it going, what have you done this day alone?" Liu Biao asked quietly.

"Lord Qiqi, after you left, Zhang Yun immediately sent one of his lieutenants and three thousand soldiers to Fancheng to garrison. Not only did he send a horse to investigate the situation in Wancheng and the whereabouts of Zhang Xiujun, but he also sent someone to notify the county commanders of Nanyang County, asking them to guard the gate and be careful of Cao's sneak attack. Cai Mao stepped forward first and replied.

He told Zhang Yun everything he had done.

After Cai Mao finished speaking, Zhang Yun had no choice but to report to Liu Biaoyu: "Lord, his subordinates have done so much, Zhang Xiu has made such a big mistake, it is mainly the responsibility of his subordinates, please surrender your guilt." ”

When Liu Biao heard this, there was no expression on his face, and he glanced at the two of them, but he was a little disgusted with Cai Mao in his heart, at this time, he suddenly remembered what Liu Bei had said to him yesterday, and subconsciously glanced back at what had been behind everyone, behaving bowing his head and deferentially Fu Tong very respectfully, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.

However, it is still outside the city, not a place to speak.

Therefore, Liu Biao nodded and said, "You have done a good job, Brother Xuande is a guest, let's go back to Xiangyang first!" ”

After speaking, Liu Biao took the lead in stepping on the pedal and boarded the ship.

Xiangyang, originally only a county in Jingzhou South County, and the county governance of South County has always been in Jiangling County on the north bank of the Yangtze River, since Liu Biao served as the governor of Jingzhou, and Wancheng, Nanyang County, the governor of Jingzhou Thorn History, was occupied by Yuan Shu, so Liu Biao moved the state governance to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang Castle is surrounded by Hanshui to the north and Xiangshui to the south. It is also because it is located in the north of Xiangshui, and it is named 'Xiangyang'.

Originally, Xiangyang City was a place where soldiers must fight, and Liu Biao moved the state to here, so that Xiangyang City ushered in the first real development. With the successive Yellow Turban Rebellions in Nanjun and the conquests between Dong Zhuo and other princes, many people in Guanzhong and the Central Plains fled to Jingzhou with their families, which ushered in a population explosion in Xiangyang City.

Today, the population of the entire Xiangyang City has exceeded more than 100,000 households.

Liu Biao, as a prince who has a foothold in troubled times, is not too qualified, but as the shepherd of one side, he is worthy of Xu Shao's sentence of a virtuous minister in the world from just one point of view.

After entering the city, Liu Biao held a feast, and gathered many famous scholars in Jingzhou to entertain Liu Bei.

During the banquet, many people asked about the situation of the battle in Xuzhou, because Cao Cao suddenly withdrew his troops, and until now, neither the Yu Ban Department nor the Xiahou Department had evacuated Pengchengguo, so in addition to the three warring parties, the outside world did not know what extent the three sides fought in the third battle of Xuzhou, and some people even thought that Liu Bei came to Jingzhou this time, not to ask for help, but to take refuge in Jingzhou alone.

This time, Liu Bei only gave a very simple answer to the questions of these Jingzhou scholars, and did not mention anything related to Jin Jue in his words.

This made Liu Biao very satisfied.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, and no one cares about Gan Ning, but the rescue of the combination of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu will affect the hearts of many people, and it must not be long before the people of Jingzhou will know that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu have thrown themselves into Jin Jue's 'bad news'. At this time, Liu Bei did not mention Jin Jue in Jingzhou, which was naturally very sympathetic to Liu.

As Liu Biao's henchmen, when they were on the road, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue had already learned from Liu Biao about the purpose of Liu Bei's visit.

At this time, there were people who were very uninteresting, and suddenly someone stood up from the banquet, came out of the ranks, walked to Liu Bei's arch of hands, and asked Liu Bei a crucial question in front of Liu Biao and everyone present, and said: "Liu Xuzhou, I want to ask you a question." With Chen Yuanlong here, presumably Sun Ce Xiao'er would definitely not be able to capture Guangling City. However, after Sun Ce retired from the army, how do you plan to treat Chen Yuanlong, and how do you plan to treat Xiapi Chen? ”

Liu Biao has just been introduced, but this person is Han Song, who is engaged in Jingzhou.

After Han Song asked, the living room immediately became silent, and everyone present, including Liu Biao, fell into contemplation and silence.

Smart people can hear that there is actually a trap in Han Song's words - Chen Qi's identity.

Many people know that Liu Bei and Chen Deng have a very good personal relationship, so even if the Chen family betrayed Liu Bei in the third battle of Xuzhou this time, Liu Bei may not kill Chen Deng even if he captures Guangling.

However, the problem is that Chen Qi is now the assassin of Xuzhou personally sealed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and even his two cousins, Chen Yu and Chen Yu, have been appointed as the minister of Pengcheng and the Taishou of Donghai County.

If this problem is placed on other princes, it is not a problem at all, but what about the seal of the Son of Heaven?

Nowadays, in the entire Han world, in addition to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, which state assassin history of the Department of Assassin History, or the state pastor was originally appointed by the imperial court?

But Liu Bei is different, since he accepted Xuzhou from Tao Qian, he has always regarded himself as benevolent and virtuous, and regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and the problem came.

Even if Liu Beijun won the third battle of Xuzhou this time, if Liu Bei refused to hand over Xuzhou to Chen Qi, the authentic assassin, he would continue to hold on to the position of Xuzhou assassin.

Let's not talk about the name of benevolence, at least, Liu Bei can no longer be regarded as a loyal minister of the current Han Emperor.
