The dancers sang and danced lightly, and Cai Mao and others staggered cups.

Many people sitting here always looked for Liu Bei to drink.

After a while, Liu Bei drank more than ten cups.

Cai Mao picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, I also respect you." ”

Liu Bei also picked up the wine glass.

Before he could drink it, his mouth suddenly bulged, and then he quickly got up, bowed to Cai Mao, covered his mouth and ran out quickly.

Looking at Liu Bei's back, Cai Mao was confused.

One of the people sitting there said with a smile: "Xuande Gong's drinking power is so poor, he got drunk without drinking much." ”

When this person said this, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Guan Yu was still standing there, he was even more relieved.

After waiting for a while, Liu Bei still didn't come back.

Cai Mao instructed the attendants on the side, "You go and find Xuande Gong." ”

The attendant was about to leave, and Guan Yu said, "General Cai doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"What do you mean by General Guan?" Cai Mao asked in amazement.

"Brother has gone back." Guan Yu said: "He told me in advance that if he drank too much during the banquet, he would return to Xinye first and ask me to inform General Cai." ”

Liu Bei is gone......

Cai Mao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "In that case, why didn't General Guan say it earlier?" ”

"General Cai didn't ask me, how could I have said earlier?" Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Brother has already left, and I have brought it to General Cai, so it is inconvenient to stay here, so I will leave first!" ”

Guan Yu finished speaking and left.

Cai Mao didn't keep him either.

When Guan Yu left, someone in the hall asked Cai Mao, "General Cai, just let him go?" ”

"What if you don't let him go?" Cai Mao said with annoyance: "What a Liu Xuande, I have been thinking about leaving for a long time, and I left Guan Yu here to distract me." ”

"Why don't you ......," said a Jingzhou general who was seated, "I'll take someone to chase after me?" ”

"Chasing?" Cai Mao asked, "How to chase?" Could it be that I told Liu Xuande that I was going to kill him? ”

The crowd was silent.

Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "That's it, drink!" ”

Liu Bei left halfway and left Xiangyang City, after he and Zhang Fei converged, they waited until Guan Yu came and returned to Xinye together.

Cai Mao's banquet didn't last long.

When everyone dispersed, Cai Mao came to Liu Biao's house.

Waiting for the news in the study, Cai Mao entered the house, and Liu Biao asked, "How are things going?" When will Liu Xuande's head be sent to Cao Zirong? ”

"Liu Xuande is gone." Cai Mao replied in a panic: "I haven't had time to do it yet, he has already left the table halfway." ”

"Confused!" Liu Biao said in annoyance: "He left the table halfway, how can you let him go?" ”

"Liu Bei left the table, and Guan Yunchang stayed there." Cai Mao replied: "I didn't expect him to leave Guan Yu behind and leave first." ”

Sighing, Liu Biao said: "I didn't take off Liu Xuande's head this time, and I don't know when I will have a chance next time." ”

"Why don't you ......" Cai Mao asked hesitantly, "Shall we use troops against Xinye?" ”

"Confused!" Liu Biao said: "Liu Xuande left the table halfway, he must have known that we planned to deal with him. The city must have been deployed, how many troops do I have to use to attack him? Now that Jiangdong Sun Quan is about to stabilize the situation, we should be internally stable, if we attack Liu Xuande, Jingzhou will be somewhat turbulent, if the Jiangdong Sun family is coming, how can we deal with it? ”

Cai Mao lowered her head when asked by Liu Biao.

After a while, he hesitated and asked, "What is Jingsheng going to do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Liu Biao said: "Fortunately, Cao Zirong has given us two years, and we still have a chance to delay." If he only gives three or two months, Jingzhou will really be finished. ”

"Why don't you ......" Cai Mao thought for a while and asked Liu Biao: "How about asking Cao Zirong to bring the troops over by himself?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly regretted it.

Liu Biao glared fiercely and asked, "Do you still think that Cao Zirong's siege of the city has besieged us enough?" Invite him to kill Liu Xuande, after breaking through Xinye and killing Liu Xuande, if he doesn't leave, what should you do? ”

"It's because I thought it was bad." Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Jingsheng Gong, please calm your anger!" ”

"You!" Liu Biao sighed: "You don't need to think about talking and doing things, Cao Zi melted into Xinye, and he left a team of soldiers and horses to garrison, do you say we are looking for him or not?" Looking for him to ask for Xinye, with Cao Zirong's temperament to grab the soil when he falls to the ground, can he easily return Xinye to us? didn't ask him for it, he stabbed his soldiers and horses there, and if the Cao family wanted to deal with us in the future, it would be easy. ”

"What Jingsheng Gong taught me a lesson." Cai Mao responded with a word, and then asked Liu Biao: "Liu Xuande doesn't care about him first?" ”

"I can only ignore him for now." Liu Biao waved his hand: "You go down first." ”

Cai Mao responded and retreated.

Liu Bei, who left Xiangyang, breathed a sigh of relief.

After Zhang Fei picked him up, he was completely relaxed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei accompanied Liu Bei to gallop all the way to Xinye.

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, did Cai Mao say anything?" ”

"He didn't say anything, but his face wasn't very good." Guan Yu said: "I said that my brother is gone, and I can see that he is very annoyed. ”

"If he doesn't get upset, my brother will be harmed by him." Zhang Fei said on the side: "He'd better not fall into my hands, if I hold him one day, I have to screw off his head." ”

"Liu Biao has murderous intentions towards me, and we can't sit still." Liu Bei said: "Go back to Xinye and recruit soldiers and horses, once we have enough men and horses, even Liu Biao will not dare to do anything to me." ”

"That's what my brother said." Zhang Fei responded: "If Liu Biao dares to say anything, we will learn from Cao Zirong, surround Xiangyang, and see what he has to say." ”

The brothers discussed how to deal with Liu Biao, talking and walking along the way.

It was only in the evening that they came to the outside of Shinno Castle.

Zhuge Liang had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and when he saw Liu Bei and others coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "Envoy, this time I went to Xiangyang, did Liu Jingsheng feel embarrassed?" ”

"According to Kong Ming's strategy, I left the table halfway." Liu Bei replied: "By the time Cai Mao knows, I have already left Xiangyang. ”

"It's good that you're okay." Zhuge Liang responded, and then said to Liu Bei: "It's not early and you're tired along the way, so you should go back early to rest." ”

"I consulted with Yun Chang and Yide on the way." After entering the city, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "This time I will go back to Xinye, I will recruit soldiers and horses, and when there are more people, I will see what Liu Jingsheng can do to me." ”

Liu Bei said his thoughts, and Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Don't!" Once the envoy recruited soldiers and horses, Liu Jingsheng had an excuse to attack Xinye. Even if you want to recruit people, you can't make a big show, you can only come quietly. ”
