Han Fei smiled and continued: "Lord, everyone, what I just said is just one of the steps I planned, and there is a premise for this step to be done, then we must wait for Liu Biao to return to heaven and Cao Cao to send troops to Jingzhou. ”

"Previously, Cao Cao and Sun Quan had no conflict of interest, because although Yangzhou had a border, they were at peace with each other. However, this time, Na Sun Quan is also eyeing Jingzhou, as long as he guides him a little, the Cao and Sun families will inevitably make a big move in Jingzhou. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to occupy the land of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and then we will hunt in Jingzhou with the two of them. Han Fei paused several times in a row, and finally finished his plan.

At this time, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone, including Liu Bei, looked at him directly. Han Fei's old face turned red and said, "Lord, I've finished what I should say!" You and everyone see if there is anything that needs to be licked and changed. ”

When Liu Bei heard Han Fei say this, he suddenly came back to his senses. He coughed lightly and said, "Tell me again, is Zicong's plan feasible?" The few people below looked at each other, and their hearts were speechless for a while. Han Fei had already said everything he could say, and some of the remaining details could only be implemented after the troops were dispatched.

At this time, Jia Xu pondered and said: "It should have become a fact that Cao's army attacked Jingzhou, but there has been no movement on Sun Quan's side so far, Zicong, how can you be sure that Sun Quan will send troops?" ”

"Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, served as the Taishou of Changsha for several years, and he left Changsha in a hurry before, if he didn't leave a backhand, I definitely don't believe it. Therefore, I dare not say other places, at least Sun Quan of Changsha County is determined to win. Before Jiangxia was threatened by Huang Zu's army, Sun Quan did not dare to rashly send troops to Changsha, and now Huang Zu is dead. If Liu Biao dies again, Jingzhou's second son will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, Sun Quan will definitely take advantage of the chaos to take Changsha County directly. Later, the three counties of Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang will inevitably be acquired by Sun Quan. Han Fei added.

Jia Xu nodded after hearing this, and stopped talking, at this time Tian Feng said: "Zicong According to your estimate, how many troops do you need to send to achieve the effect you expect?" ”

Han Fei sighed slightly: "At least 100,000 horses, you need to leave at least 10,000 people to garrison after conquering Runan, and if you don't have 30,000 people in Shouchun Jiancheng, don't want to capture it, you will need 50,000 horses." If you go to Jingzhou to hunt with Cao and Sun, you must have 50,000 horses by your side. So 100,000 horses should be enough. ”

After Han Fei finished speaking, Tian Feng saluted Liu Bei and said, "My lord, if it is 100,000 people and horses, but only Changyi City is not enough, you need to mobilize from all over Qingzhou to come here." ”

Liu Bei was just about to spell it out, but Jian Yong said: "The lord is slow, this grain and grass don't have to be transported to Changyi City, just send it directly to Langya City, why don't you pass through Langya County after the army is assembled." ”

Liu Bei nodded yes, and then he looked at Han Fei and said, "Zicong, then it's arranged like this!" It's just that you need to go into battle in person this time, right? ”

Han Fei nodded after hearing this: "Yes, when the time comes, Cao Cao and Sun Quan should be there in person when they will hunt Jingzhou, and the lord should indeed go into battle in person." In this way, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou all need to be arranged again. ”

"Well, let me think about this matter, since it is so decided, then the matter of grain and grass will be entrusted to Yuan Hao."

"It's the lord, and I will live up to the trust of the lord." Tian Feng replied.

"Wenhe and Gong Ze will closely monitor the movements of Jingzhou, and report to me at any time if there is an emergency, and the news of Runan and Shouchun cannot be left behind."

"It's the lord!" The two spoke in unison.

Liu Bei nodded immediately, then said a few more words and let them disperse, leaving Han Fei alone. After everyone left, Liu Bei asked Han Fei: "Zicong, you said that after this battle, is it a big deal?" ”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Lord, this matter is in a hurry!" The root of Cao Cao is still in the land of Yanzhou and Yongzhou, and even if we take Yuzhou and Yangzhou, we will not be able to hurt Cao Cao's roots. Moreover, after this battle, our army will inevitably usher in the fierce retaliation of the Cao army, and everything is still slow step by step. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "It seems that I am too anxious." There was a hint of loneliness between the words.

Han Fei's heart moved, and then he spoke: "Lord, although this incident is not expected, the official title of state pastor is not suitable for the lord. ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Liu Bei was puzzled: "What kind of official should I be, according to your opinion?" ”

"Lord, you should be a prince!" Han Fei arched his hand.

"The Lord!?" Liu Bei was surprised and delighted after hearing this, the dream that was once out of reach never thought that it was within reach today. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Bei's voice trembled slightly: "Zicong, did you really suggest that I be crowned king?" ”

"Yes, the so-called improper name of the lord is not good, at this moment the lord has already commanded several states, if you take Runan and Shouchun again, then most of the Central Plains will be controlled by our army. At this time, if you don't enter the knighthood again, I am afraid it will be difficult to reign! "Han Fei said euphemism, what he actually means is that if he is not crowned king at this time, what should the people below do! Everyone has taken refuge in you just to be promoted to an official position, and you yourself are still a state pastor, how can you reward others. But if you are crowned king, it will be different, and you can open a mansion and make your own system.

Liu Bei was even happier when he heard this, and immediately said to Han Fei: "I don't care about this matter, everything is in Zicong's control, and you can go to the table together when the time is right!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely arrange it properly!" Han Fei solemnly promised.

How to prepare here is not mentioned for the time being, and then return to Jingzhou, Liu Qi called the door outside the city. The soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to stop it, so they immediately reported to Sun Li, the general who defended the city, who was a subordinate of the general Wang Wei. Wang Wei was originally a neutral person, and he was one of the few people in Xiangyang City who did not completely take refuge in the Cai family.

Sun Li listened to the report, and his head was a little big for a while. He really didn't want to get involved in the duel between the eldest prince and the Cai family. But at this moment, he couldn't help but retreat, and finally Sun Liyi gritted his teeth and said, "Open the city gate!" I'll take care of any questions! ”

"You're going to take it? I'm afraid you can't afford it? A flirtatious voice rang out from outside the door.

Sun Li's face changed and he shouted, "Who came in to speak!" ”

"Huh? General Sun is so powerful! While speaking, a person came in from outside the door, Sun Li couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw the person who came, this person he knew was named Cai Lun, and he was Cai Mao's nephew. He is also a general who guards the city, but because he is a member of the Cai family, he is often not stationed at the head of the city. I didn't expect him to arrive at this time.

Sun Li and Cai Lun had a lot of disagreements, and when he saw it, he immediately knew that things were going to be bad today! Sun Li immediately snorted coldly and said, "The person under the city is the eldest prince, and there is an urgent military situation that needs to enter the city!" Is it something you and I can stop? General Cai? ”

"What about the emergency military situation, it is a rule set by the governor that Xiangyang City is closed at night. If there's anything to do tomorrow morning, can't you wait all night? Cai Lun stared at Sun Li and said.
