In the end, Liu Bei himself couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.

After listening to this, Liu Biao did not rush to speak, but wowed the long beard under his chin and pondered.

The meaning of Liu Bei's words, Liu Biao understood, the so-called warning is to reaffirm the alliance between the two of them.

This time, Cao Cao and Sun Ce jointly attacked Liu Bei, and it was indeed separated by Runan County in the middle, and Liu Biao could be said to be beyond the reach of the whip.

So, next time, if there is really a joint attack on Liu Biao by Cao Jun and Sun Cejun, at that time, can Liu Bei also say the same?

If it was just Cao Cao, Liu Biao would naturally not believe Liu Bei's nonsense.

However, now with Sun Ce's words, the situation has become completely different.

Why?

Liu Bei just didn't say it, Liu Biao himself knew very well in his heart that the relationship between Liu Biao and Sun Ce was the so-called enmity between Dai Tian. Sun Jian died himself, willing to be Yuan Shu's pawn, attacked Jingzhou again, and was killed.

Originally, Sun Jian was to blame for this incident, and if he died, he would die.

However, what no one expected was that Sun Jian's eldest son not only came out, but also, in just a few years, he had grown into a warlord who was a hegemonic party, could pose a great threat to Jingzhou, and his strength was enough to rank among the top few in the world.

Even if Liu Bei didn't mention this past incident in person, every time he thought of it, Liu Biao was very worried about it!

As for Jin Jue, the incident between Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning will indeed affect the future relationship between Liu Biao and Jin Jue.

However, after thinking deeply, Liu Biao felt that these two people chose to leave now, which was a good thing for him and for the whole of Jingzhou.

Gan Ning was originally a person who defected from Yizhou, known as the three rebellions in Yizhou, plus he was born as a water thief, and now, the three rebellions have returned to Yizhou, which is actually reasonable.

I won't say much about Zhang Xiu.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao glanced at Liu Bei and replied, "Brother Xian, Sun Cezhi didn't say it in advance, are you sure that your nephew will form an alliance with me?" ”

No one wants to make enemies everywhere, even Liu Biao, who dominates Jingzhou. Besides, relatively speaking, compared with the relationship with Jin Jue, Liu Biao's relationship with the original owners of Yizhou, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, is worse.

Therefore, the matter mentioned by Liu Bei is the most important thing for Liu Biao.

"At this point, please rest assured, Brother Xian. Unlike the ambitious Sun Ce, Juexian's nephew doesn't really have much ambition himself. He sent an envoy to Xuzhou to tell me his ambition that after taking all Yizhou, he would immediately send troops to destroy the treacherous Ma Teng, and then he would fight Cao Thief in the middle of the pass, hoping that he would be able to personally kill this enemy who indirectly killed his father Jin Shang when Cao Thief was alive.

That's all.

The generals sent by Juexian's nephew brought his original words to the younger brother are also very clear, this time, the reason why he sent generals and elites to assist the younger brother to repel Sun Ce is not to look at the friendship with the younger brother in the past, but to let the younger brother continue to nail Xuzhou, so that Cao Thief can only continue to stay in place and cannot expand his power to the surrounding areas.

The stronger the younger brother's Xuzhou, the weaker the strength of the Cao thief, and in the future, when Juexian's nephew really has to be handsome, it will be much easier to defeat the Cao thief. Therefore, in Juexian's nephew's heart, he never forgot to avenge his father.

And Sun Ce had a completely different idea from Jue Xian's nephew, this time, he was able to ignore the great enmity between himself and Brother Xian and Huang Zu, and chose to join forces with Cao Thief first to attack the territory of the younger brother. It can be seen that this young man is extremely ambitious and knows how to make trade-offs and grasp the timing. When Liu Bei said this, he stopped at the point.

In front of Liu Biao, just point out what makes Sun Ce different, if you say too much, it will inevitably cause Liu Biao's disgust. Liu Biao is a smart person and will judge according to his words.

Hearing this, Liu Biao nodded, this time, he didn't think about it, and replied: "Okay, the matter of forming an alliance with your Juexian nephew, Lone will entrust it to you, Brother Xian, when the time comes, Lone will send an envoy and the person you sent to Yizhou to meet the junior who is now famous in the southeast, and see how far he has forced Liu Zhang."

As for the matter of recommending Fu Tong to take on the defense of Nanyang County for Lone, to be honest, this young man is good at everything, but he is too light. ”

"Hehehe!" When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled bitterly three times and said, "Brother Xian, since you raised this point, the junior brother has a sentence, if it is not right, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, you and my brother, is there anything else you can't say?" Liu Biao pretended to be generous, waved his hand, and motioned for Liu Bei to continue.

Liu Bei arched his hand towards Liu Biao, opened his mind, and sighed: "Brother Xian, the times are different, such as today, the princes are busy attacking their respective surrounding territories, in order to compete for the world, and they don't put the Son of Heaven in their eyes at all, and the Son of Heaven in Xu County is actually willing to be the puppet of the Cao thief and let him drive him." The younger brother is far inferior to the virtuous brother in terms of fame, so since the younger brother took over Xuzhou from Tao Gong, except for the original subordinates, there are no famous people under the command of the younger brother.

The longer this position of Xuzhou Thorn Shi is done, the more the younger brother feels that there is a lack of talent around him. Especially in terms of generals, starting first, except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there is no one under the younger brother's command.

Speaking of which, the younger brother is also really embarrassed, and now the military advisors under the command of the younger brother are recommended by Mr. Wenju, Lu Su and Xu Shu are actually recommended to my younger brother by Juexian's nephew before he left Xuzhou with Wen Hou. Also, this time, Jin Hou, who relieved the misfortune of Picheng for his younger brother, was just a personal guard by Juexian's nephew before.

After several years of hard work, struggle and confusion, as well as the betrayal of the Chen family, the younger brother finally figured it out, no matter how much I reuse those so-called family talents, they may not really be loyal to me, but young people like Chen Zhi and Jin Hou, who were newly promoted by the younger brother, can only have a chance to become talents if they are given the opportunity to experience. And, brother Xian, I have to say, such people are often more faithful to us than others! ”

Liu Bei's words silenced Liu Biao.

Over the years, most of the people used by Liu Biao's subordinates have followed him to pacify the entire Jingzhou, such as Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
