However, thinking of the 60,000 troops when he came, but now there are less than 40,000 people left, Cai Mao's heart is also a little desolate, this attack on the state, he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong, this move will definitely offend Lu Bu completely, even if the relationship between them can be repaired because of interests in the future, but it will not be as trusting as before.

"General, Liu Yuanjun will hold a banquet in the army tonight and invite the generals in the army to go." The Commander of the Guards stepped forward and whispered.

Cai Mao snorted coldly: "The army is defeated, Liu Bei still has such thoughts. ”

Kuai Yue on the side persuaded: "General, now Liu Bei's prestige in the Jingzhou army is not low, the general might as well go to the banquet, and by the way, recall the soldiers who were sent to Liu Bei's army when he attacked Wenxi." "The Jingzhou army is in the hands of Liu Bei, giving Kuai Yue an extremely uneasy feeling, in this war against the state, Liu Bei's gains are not small, not only has the name of defeating Lu Bu, but also Wen Xi will be defeated in one fell swoop.

I don't know why, when facing Liu Bei, Kuai Yue always has an uncomfortable feeling, but Liu Bei also gives people a sense of benevolence, what kind of person is Liu Bei, how can he live under people for a long time, this is also the reason why Kuai Yue secretly guards against Liu Bei.

In the matter of the selection of the crown prince, the Kuai family has reached a consensus with the Cai family, since Liu Biao wants Liu Cong to inherit the throne, the Kuai family will not object, and the Kuai family does not want to be in the emperor's succession, Jingzhou has turmoil, what reassures Kuai Yue is that this Yanzhou army fiasco, the Jiangdong Army and Cao Army, which are the greatest threat to the Jingzhou Army, have suffered heavy losses, for Jingzhou, it is definitely great news, even if it is from Hedong, when dealing with the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army, there is greater confidence.

Cai Mao said: "Inform Liu Bei that General Ben will hold a banquet in the army tonight and let Liu Bei come." "It's not that Cai Mao is suspicious of Liu Bei, but as Cai Mao, going to Liu Bei's army for a banquet will always give people a feeling of being inferior to Liu Bei.

That night, the Jingzhou army was brightly lit, the Chinese army's big tent was staggered, so it was not lively, there was no failure in it, Liu Bei's position in the tent was in the middle, although Liu Bei had achieved certain achievements on the battlefield, his status in the army was not high.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the army of more than 200,000 people failed to break through the state, and in time, who can compete with Lu Bu." ”

Cai Mao's complexion changed slightly, and Liu Bei said such things at this time, which would affect the stability of the army.

"Liu Yuanjun's words, this general can not agree, if it is not for the Jizhou army to retreat because of the war in Jizhou, the Jingzhou army will not be able to break through Chang'an, and the record of our army is enough to be proud of other princes." Cai Mao retorted.

The tent fell silent for a while, and everyone turned their attention to Liu Bei and Cai Mao, which was also the first time that Liu Bei and Cai Mao faced each other.

Kuai Yue saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and hurriedly said: "Liu Yuanjun is drunk, Lu Bu is a rebellious minister and thief in the Han family, and everyone will be punished." ”

"Hmph, what the real situation is, I guess the two of you know better than anyone else." Liu Bei said coldly.

Many generals of the Jingzhou army looked at Liu Bei curiously, not understanding what happened to Liu Bei tonight, why he suddenly became so strong, when Liu Bei was in the Jingzhou army in the past, he gave people the feeling of being low-key.

Cai Mao squinted at Liu Bei for a long time and said, "Could it be that Liu Yuanjun thinks that what the Holy Lord did this time is wrong?" Although the reason for the crusade against Lu Bu was a little reluctant, it was still to maintain the dignity of the Han family.

This sentence pushed Liu Bei to the crest of the wave, no matter what, this time the princes attacked the state, it was the meaning of the Han family, in order to crusade against the rebel Lu Bu of the state, and the name of General Lu Bu and the Marquis of Jin had been taken by the Han family.

Liu Bei said slowly: "Lu Bu did not obey the orders of the Han family, and it was the right thing to crusade, but when General Cai was in Hedong, he did not restrain his subordinates, so that the people in Hedong were displaced, how many innocent people were exiled because of the general's unrestraint, if the saint knew, what should General Cai be guilty of?" ”

"You ......" Cai Mao pointed at Liu Bei with a flushed face, the reason why he did not restrain the soldiers in Hedong was to make trouble for Lu Bu.

Kuai Yue set his eyes on Liu Bei opposite, although Liu Bei's position was in the middle of the generals at this time, there was a faint domineering all over his body, such a scene gave Kuai Yue a bad feeling.

"General, it's getting late, if you let everyone leave, it's not too late for him to discuss this matter in the future." Kuai Yue leaned over and whispered.

At this moment, Liu Bei Huoran got up and said: "Cai Mao, as the commander of the three armies, does not know how to restrain himself, when he was prepared for the order of the saint, he crusaded against the rebellion of the state, and his corporal was only 3,000 people, but Cai Mao was destined to be the vanguard of the army, not to give more than a soldier, if it were not for the fact that he had some ability, I am afraid that he would have died in Hanoi now, how could such a jealous and jealous person be the commander of the three armies, many of you are from ordinary people's families, in the war, how miserable the people's experience is, must be no stranger, However, Cai Mao turned a deaf ear to the life and death of the people, how many villages were looted because of Cai Mao, and how many people had to go into exile because of this......"

In the end, Liu Bei howled and cried, these words, the voice was full of emotion, the eyes of many generals were slightly red, and there was a trace of anger in the eyes of Cai Mao, the original robbery of the people of Hedong was nothing in the eyes of the generals in the army, but in Liu Bei's mouth, it made them feel heinous.

Cai Mao took the case and said: "Liu Bei, you dare to disturb the morale of the army here, come here, pull Liu Bei out and behead the public!" ”

Liu Bei stood up fearlessly and looked at Cai Mao and said: "A general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, General Cai has thought about the soldiers under his command, how can a person like you be qualified as the chief general of the three armies." ”

Speaking of which, Kuai Yue felt the cold air in his back, and Liu Bei, who had been cautious, suddenly had such fierce words, which must have something to rely on, and sure enough, after glancing at the generals in the tent, Kuai Yue was surprised to find that many generals in the tent actually nodded and praised Liu Bei's words, obviously Liu Bei had secretly negotiated with the generals in the army before, and all this, he didn't find out in advance.

Kuai Yue thought of the time when he attacked Wenxi, the Jingzhou army had sent a large army to help, if these people became Liu Bei's subordinates, it would definitely be a disaster for the Jingzhou army.

Cai Mao's complexion kept changing, and she shouted again: "Where is the guard?" The guard's delay in entering the camp made Cai Mao feel strongly uneasy.

A general stood up and glared at Cai Mao and said, "Cai Mao is incompetent, we have decided to follow Liu Yuanjun." ”
