Regarding Zhuge Liang's proposal, Liu Bei also pretended to say that Liu Biao told him that it was an unrighteous move to plot to seize Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei that if he wanted to achieve great things, he could not be confined to small sections, and the princes would rise together, and the time would not wait, and it was all up to Liu Bei whether to do it or not.

Liu Bei finally made up his mind to deal with Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang set a plan for Liu Bei.

Mrs. Cai met Liu Bei at the Prefecture Governor's Mansion and received a gift from Liu Bei. Her biological son, Liu Biao's second son, Liu Cong is also there.

Liu Bei put on a high hat for Mrs. Cai, and expressed his gratitude for the protection of Mrs. Cai, and by the way, he said, "The second son is smart and will be the lord of Jingzhou in the future." ”

Mrs. Cai's heart moved, and she sighed: "Alas, it's not the eldest son, don't think about it!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Virtuous people don't judge by the eldest and youngest, why should Mrs. be arrogant?" ”

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangxia to meet Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, and instigated Liu Qi to return to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao more often, and inherit Jingzhou in the future.

These days, Liu Biao's body is sick, and with Liu Bei and their tossing, the matter of Jingzhou's heir has been hyped.

Mrs. Cai blows the pillow wind every day, and Liu Cong is also serving in front of the bed.

Liu Qi came back from Jiangxia, ran to Liu Biao's bed and cried, saying again and again that he was not filial, and his father was sick but not by his father's side.

Liu Biao agreed with Liu Qi again, and in this way, the interest group represented by the two sons began to operate.

On a cold day, Liu Biao's illness did not improve, but the competition between the two sons for favor and storage became increasingly hot.

Jiang Sheng also got information about Jingzhou and decided to take this opportunity to encroach on Jingzhou.

Ma Teng's forces were compressed in the western part of Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, and it can be said that they had entered a dead end, lacking water and food, and could no longer become a climate.

Jiang Sheng rejected the proposal of "Qiang autonomy and friendship from generation to generation", and made it clear that he would send a captain to manage the Qiang area, and if he did not agree, he would send troops to conscript.

Seeing the might of Jiang Sheng's army, the leader of the Qiang tribal alliance did not dare to disagree, so he had to accept Jiang Sheng's request.

Jiang Sheng made Gao Shun the captain of the Qiang Guard, and transferred some craftsmen from the Luoyang construction site to the Qiang Road in Wudu County to build a military base.

The displaced people of Xiliang were recruited to work at the Qiangdao construction site, where they were paid and fed, and the laborers flocked to the site.

Gao Shun's trap camp was sent to Qiang Dao as a military presence in the Qiang region to deter restless fellows.

Jiang Sheng sent another 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry to merge with the trap camp to form the Ninth Army, which recruited some Qiang warriors.

There was no suspense in the battle in the northwest, Jiang Sheng left Zhang He and Xu Huang's two armies in the northwest, and then led the Xuanjia cavalry and Zhang Ning's army to Nanyang County.

After Chu Yan exterminated the Northern Xiongnu to aid Ma Teng's troops, Ma Teng had been defeated and retreated, so Jiang Sheng ordered him to go north and sweep the Northern Xiongnu.

The situation in Chang'an was stable, and Lü Bu asked Li Tong to return to Nanyang County to monitor the movements in Jingzhou.

After Jiang Sheng led the army into Nanyang, he stopped, replenished troops and supplies in Nanyang, and built weapons.

After Li Tong returned to Nanyang, he reorganized his army and built a Jiangbei camp on the other side of Xiangyang, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered at the Jiangbei camp one after another.

The shipbuilding experts sent by Tai Shi Ci began to organize craftsmen to build ships that could fight on the Yangtze River.

Li Tong's actions spread to Xiangyang, Jingzhou was shocked, but at this time Liu Biao was seriously ill, the dragons had no leader, and in desperation, Liu Biao looked for Liu Bei.

"Xuande, Jiang Sheng gathered troops to attack, my Jingzhou is in danger, I am seriously ill, I have no intention of dealing with military affairs, and I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of resisting Jiang Sheng!"

Liu Bei was sincerely frightened on the surface, but he was very beautiful in his heart, and he just took this opportunity to establish his prestige in the Jingzhou army.

Liu Qi ran to Liu Bei's camp at this time to ask for help, it turned out that Mrs. Cai fought for Liu Cong's heir to Jingzhou with open guns and hidden arrows against Liu Qi, and Liu Qi had to ask Liu Bei for help.

Only then did Mrs. Cai know that Liu Bei supported Liu Cong, and complained in front of Liu Biao, Liu Biao was overwhelmed and gradually snubbed Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong.

Mrs. Cai told Cai Mao about the current situation, Cai Mao became angry, and she was about to question Liu Bei, but was stopped by Mrs. Cai, and the sister and brother conspired for a long time.

Although Liu Biao authorized Liu Bei to be in charge of Jingzhou's military affairs, Liu Bei was an outsider after all, and the Jingzhou soldiers didn't think much of him, and Liu Bei urgently needed a victory.

After many days of observation, Zhuge Liang judged that Jiang Sheng was unlikely to attack Jingzhou for the time being, so he suggested that Liu Bei organize his army to fight Lujiang, and Liu Qi had been in Jiangxia for a long time and could call Jiangxia's army.

Liu Bei followed his words, with Guan Yu as the main general and Liu Qi as the deputy general, and advanced by land and water to conquer the Lujiang River.

Cao Cao was not too surprised when he learned the news, he drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei definitely wanted revenge.

Cao Ren and Li Dian were the forwards, waved 100,000 troops and went straight west, facing Guan Yu's main force.

Cao Cao personally led the main force of 150,000 to follow up, because he was not accustomed to water warfare, Cao Cao simply did not engage in water army, and was still cavalry and infantry.

Zhuge Liang's analysis is correct, Jiang Sheng does not have any intention of attacking Jingzhou for the time being, his goal is to unify Jiangbei first, and then discuss the affairs of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was bound to win this time, and Zhuge Liang was strategizing, the battle of Lujiang was progressing well, Cao Ren and Li Dian were defeated for eleven battles, and the losses were not small, so they had to retreat step by step, waiting for Cao Cao's main force to arrive.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led an army, outflanked in a roundabout way, and beat Cao Ren without the power to fight back.

After Cao Cao's main force arrived, Zhuge Liang made strategic deployments and suppressed Cao's army at every step.

Sun Quan sent Huang Gai to lead the water army to control the Yangtze River at this time, Cheng Pu and Ling Cao also led the army to the north bank of the Yangtze River, trying to occupy Guangling County, Xiahou Yuan stayed in Guangling, took the initiative to attack the Wu army, Cheng Pu was defeated, Ling Cao was ambushed by Xiahou Yuan when he rescued, and had to retreat to the river bank.

Huang Gai organized the Mengmeng Fighting Ship to launch a stone throw, saved the two armies, and then withdrew to the south bank.

Zhou Yu contacted Sun Quan not to think about the north for the time being, and to make every effort to develop Jiangdong.

Sun Quan now has Danyang, Wu County, and Huiji, and his strength is not bad, so he accepted Zhou Yu's proposal, and took advantage of the internal instability in Jingzhou to order Cheng Pu and other generals to lead the army west, and take Yuzhang County, where Liu Biao's power was weak, as a short-term target.

Zhou Yu can be ranked as a first-class strategist of the Han Dynasty, and it is not difficult to attack Yuzhang, and the army under Sun Quan conquered the east and west, and completely controlled Yuzhang County in a few months.

Liu Bei was bent on attacking Lujiang and didn't care about the fall of Yuzhang, the Cai family took this opportunity to suppress Liu Bei, and Liu Biao, who was seriously ill, was also angry and asked Liu Bei to withdraw his troops back to Xiangyang.

Liu Bei refused to withdraw on the grounds that the army was entangled with Cao's army and it was difficult to get out.

Liu Biao was worried about the loss of Xiangyang and decided to move the Jingzhou administrative office to Jiangling in Nanjun.

The foundations of the Cai family and the Kuai family are in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao was persuaded not to abandon Xiangyang, but Liu Biao was unmoved and insisted on moving.

Mrs. Cai cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and Liu Biao had no choice but to agree with Cai Mao to serve as the governor of Xiangyang and be fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Xiangyang.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he felt bad, and Cai Mao would never let him feel better.
