After a night of traveling, Liu Biao and the others finally stopped in a small village dozens of kilometers away from Jingzhou City.

Although their bodies were already exhausted, the exhaustion could not hide the joy on their faces. After all, what does it matter if you are a little more tired than dying?

After everyone who stopped arranged for people to be on guard, Liu Biao pulled Zhang Liao affectionately with his hand, patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan is really a peerless general, in today's battle, if it weren't for Wen Yuan, I would have died in Jingzhou City, and I am really a blessed general, and when I destroy the family, I will definitely add you to the rank of knight." From today on, Zhang Wenyuan's name will surely resound all over the world, who dares to say that I have no one in Jingzhou! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Biao pulled out the sword he was carrying, touched the sword body with his hand, and said with a little admiration: "This sword is called Lone Leaf, it has been with me for decades, the sword is given to heroes, and I will give it to you today." ”

"Absolutely never!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is the personal sword of Lord Zhou Mu, how can I snatch love with a horizontal sword." Today's things are my duty, how can I ask for merit and reward! ”

Hearing Zhang Liao's explanation, Liu Biao was even more happy in his heart, he was not proud of his merits, humble and polite, loyal and courageous, how could he not be liked?

put the sword into the sheath, stuffed it into Zhang Liao's hand, and said: "If it is the duty of Wenyuan to rescue the driver, then it is also the duty of the lonely man to reward the meritorious minister today." If you don't take it today, won't the people of the world laugh at me Liu Biao doesn't know anyone, and he is a stingy person. ”

"This, okay." ，

Liu Biao's words have already come to this point, and Zhang Liao has no reason to refuse.

Stretched out his hand and pulled out this sword, and with a slight pull, the cold light instantly shone brightly.

Zhang Liao fascinated his eyes and carefully examined this sword, the sword body was three feet long, cast in dark iron, revealing a faint cold light, extremely sharp, Zhang Liao flicked the sword body lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"Good sword!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Seeing Zhang Liao's favorite demeanor, Liu Biao smiled and said, "The sword knows the hero, this sword follows you, and the county guard will believe that he will shine one day." ”

Zhang Liao put away the lonely leaf, saluted Liu Biao and said, "Thank you for the love of the county guard, Zhang Liao is grateful." ”

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Liu Biao was a little unhappy in his heart, because he said that he was the county guard and not the lord, which meant that he had not fully identified with himself in his heart. But this is harmless, Liu Biao believes that after a long time, he will inevitably submit to himself.

Everyone rested, and considering that it was still unsafe here, everyone got on their horses and headed straight for the west again.

In Lu Bu's residence, Lu Bu and Guo Jia were discussing their next move. In recent days, Lu Bu can obviously feel that there are many more unfamiliar faces in Jingzhou City, according to Tianyan's report, it is because of the large-scale army movement in Jingzhou, which has caused the dynamics of the surrounding princes. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu... All parties sent people to Jingzhou City to inquire about the news.

The princes intervened at this time, which made Lu Bu very depressed, he had been planning for a long time, and the princes came out to stir up the situation at this time, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the danger of Lu Bu's plot to seize Jingzhou, and it was even possible that the previous efforts would be wasted.

The most unpleasant thing is that Lu Bu can't stand up at this time, because his base camp is in Bingzhou, which is far away from Jingzhou. If he occupies Jingzhou openly at this time, then the two will inevitably not be able to take care of each other in the future, and if Lu Bu wants to keep Jingzhou, he must send troops to defend it, but this weakens Jingzhou's defense in disguise, which is a big hidden danger that will endanger the overall situation.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Staring at the map, Lu Bu had a bold and crazy idea. Judging from the map, if Bingzhou wants to connect with Jingzhou, then it is necessary to cross Xiliang and Yizhou.

If, if Xiliang and Yizhou are all included in the command, then the western half of the entire world will be firmly controlled in their own hands. According to the west into the east, step by step, although it is effective to imitate the suspicion of the first emperor Gaozu, it is undeniable that this method is the most convenient and fastest.

Looking at the entire map, the western princes obviously fall behind the east, stretch out your hand to count, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Ma Teng in the west are juniors, and it is not worrying; Looking at the east again, Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, Yuan Shao, the third duke of the fourth dynasty, Gongsun Zan of Baima Yicong, and Liu Bei, who was castrated. In addition to these, which of the mountains of self-proclaimed kings, big and small, is the one who is easy to mess with?

Shaking his head, he threw out the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, if this is the case, he may really not be far from death, the battle line is too long, and with the current strength, there is no way to organize a solid and effective defense. If you don't have a way to build up defenses effectively, then you are a piece of fat that can be eaten at any time in the eyes of others, and you can eat whatever you want.

The urgent task at the moment is how to quickly eat Jingzhou into the stomach.

The princes of all parties have already shown their eyes on Jingzhou, and if Jingzhou cannot be eaten quickly, then Jingzhou will inevitably be divided and eaten by other princes.

They are all meat-eating animals, and no one will have meat that they don't eat.

frowned, and said to Guo Jia: "Is there any way to Fengxiao?" ”

Guo Jia responded and said, "My lord, but I'm worried that if we make a move too late, we will let others pick the fruit?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "There are many unfamiliar faces in Jingzhou, and the princes of all parties pay close attention to Jingzhou. Even I'm afraid they'll do it now. Under the banner of helping Liu Biao, he secretly devoured Jingzhou. Thinking of this, Lu Bu secretly hated in his heart, he finally muddied the waters of Jingzhou, but others came to fish in troubled waters.

Guo Jia stroked his beard and said: "Don't worry, my lord, although Jingzhou is chaotic, its strength has never weakened, and those who want to move him must first weigh their appetite, and if they eat too much, they will be stripped to death!?" Furthermore"

Speaking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Guo Jia's eyes: "The lord wants Jingzhou, Liu Biao must die, and he must borrow the hands of the family." Liu Biao's death was unexpected, and Liu Qi's succession was reasonable, so Jingzhou was at his fingertips. ”

Guo Jia is worthy of Guo Jia, and in a few simple words, the originally difficult problem is simplified. Liu Biao was killed, and Liu Qi, as his eldest son, was justified in succeeding to the throne. But this is under the current situation, in the past, this is absolutely impossible, not to mention anything else, this Cai Yiren, Liu Cong was the first not to agree. And now, Cai Yiren is nowhere to be found, and Liu Cong's whereabouts are unknown. If Liu Biao wants to take revenge, his only choice is to pass the throne to Liu Qi.

The solution is one such approach, but the course of action must be carefully planned. What Lu Bu wanted was not only the territory of Jingzhou, but also the hundreds of thousands of troops.
