Xiangyang

Since returning with the army, Liu Biao has felt that his body is not as good as day by day, but many affairs in Jingzhou do not allow Liu Biao to recuperate.

Externally, Sun Cexing soldiers came to attack, and internally, the competition for the position of the prince began to become more and more fierce. Although Liu Bei did not publicly support anyone, it can be judged from the fact that he and Liu Qi are moving more and more diligently, who he Liu Bei supports.

Liu Bei is naturally an outsider to the locals of Jingzhou, but the problem is that he holds the power of the army, and Guan Yu's return has made him like a tiger, and it has become a big trend. It stands to reason that Liu Biao and Liu Bei are of the same clan, and Liu Biao should trust Liu Bei, but the problem is that although Liu Biao is old, his brain is not confused.

Liu Qi can't play Liu Bei. Although Liu Qi died of illness shortly after Liu Bei got Jingzhou in history, no one knows whether he died of illness or not.

As a father, Liu Biao naturally doesn't want to see his sons infighting, let alone Liu Qi and Liu Cong being victimized. Compared with Liu Qi, Liu Cong is at least safer there. At least Cai Mao and Kuai Yue still need Liu Cong's brand, whether it is to divide one side or return to the imperial court in the future, they will need Liu Cong to act as a puppet in front, and Liu Cong's life can naturally be guaranteed to a large extent. But Liu Qi ...... Who knows if Liu Bei has the patience to coerce Liu Qi to control Jingzhou, in case this guy plans to go into battle shirtless, then Liu Qi will only become an obstacle, and his life will naturally be in danger.

Liu Biao once tried to suggest that Liu Qi was alienated from Liu Bei, but what was disappointing was that Liu Qi was like a later generation of pyramid schemes who had been brainwashed, firmly believing that Liu Bei was a good person and turned a deaf ear to Liu Biao's hints. is so angry that Liu Biao doesn't want this stupid son, but he is angry, even if he doesn't want Liu Qi's stupid son, Liu Biao, the foundation of Jingzhou, doesn't want to give it up.

Thinking about his Liu Biao's identity, he served in the General's Mansion when he was young, and later he entered Jingzhou and became the master of Jingxiang Nine Counties. And that Liu Bei, if he doesn't mention the identity of his clan relatives, he is just a vendor selling straw shoes, how can he be qualified to sit in the same room with him.

Although he looked down on Liu Bei in his heart, Liu Biao also had to admit that Liu Bei had indeed become a hidden danger to Jingzhou. The eldest son Liu Qi is not persuaded to turn back, once he dies, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue will support Liu Cong, and Liu Bei will definitely support Liu Qi. At that time, Jingzhou staged a brother's wall parade, and he couldn't turn a blind eye after his death.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's two families are deeply rooted in Jingzhou and are difficult to shake, but Liu Bei, an outsider, still has a chance to try.

Direct eviction is impossible! Liu Bei now wants people and food. Sun Ce dragged Cai Mao's army, and Jingzhou's infantry army was really difficult to resist Liu Bei's men. Once Liu Bei is forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, Jingzhou really doesn't know who will fall into the end of Jingzhou.

Since it can't be hard, then there is only Huairou.

……

Wancheng

Since Guan Yu returned to the tent, Liu Bei was really happy for a while, but after this burst of joy passed, Liu Bei also began to think about his next way out.

Although staying in Wancheng can ensure that there is plenty of food and grass, the problem is that Liu Bei's own development has also been greatly restricted. The west and north sides are the territory of the imperial court, the east is Cao Cao's territory, and the south is Liu Biao's territory. In Liao Li's words, although Wancheng is good, it is a land of trapped dragons.

Liu Bei is not a lord who is willing to live under the people, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, he can be said to have fought for half his life, if he is really a person who is willing to be a courtier, then he would have become famous a long time ago. But he is not a person who is willing to "work for others", and wants to "be the boss".

"Gongyuan, you mean to let me go to Jingnan?" Liu Bei asked Liao Lidao with some reluctance.

"Lord, where else can you go except Jingnan? Now that the imperial court has newly acquired Yibei, it is not easy to obtain the land of Bashu. Moreover, Yuan Shao learned from the past, and the lord thought that if there was a conflict with the imperial court, what was the chance of victory? Liao Li replied without leaving Liu Bei the slightest affection.

Thanks to Liu Bei, who is a person who wants to do big things, he also understands Liao Li's temper, but Guan Yu on the side has just come back, and when he heard Liao Li's unceremonious words, the two lying silkworm eyebrows suddenly stood up. Fortunately, Zhang Fei's eyes were quick on the side, and he quietly pulled Guan Yu, so Guan Yu didn't have a seizure on the spot. However, when Liao Li and the others retreated, Guan Yu immediately asked Liu Bei who Liao Li was? How dare you be so rude!

"Second brother, Liao Gongyuan is resourceful, but his temperament is a little arrogant, and he has some flaws in dealing with people, you don't have to mind." Liu Bei comforted Guan Yu and said.

Seeing Liu Bei say this, Guan Yu couldn't continue to say anything, and then changed the topic and asked, "Brother, then are you going to do what Liao Gongyuan suggested?" ”

"Second brother, although Gongyuan's words are not good, what he said does have some truth. Now the power of the imperial court, the land of Bashu has basically been occupied by the imperial court. And Cao Cao in the Central Plains, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, can let our brothers run it, I'm afraid that only Jingnan and Jiaozhi are left in this world. ”

"Brother, but Jingnan and Jiaozhi are sparsely populated, and they are not enough to succeed."

"That's better than being under the fence, and you always need to be on guard against being calculated."

“…… Brother, could it be that Liu Biao deliberately embarrassed you? Guan Yu frowned and asked.

"Since you came back, it has become difficult for Wancheng to ask Jingzhou for supplies, and from time to time he finds excuses to delay and not give them."

“…… Xu is going to deal with Jiangdong, is my brother thinking too much? ”

"Second brother, are you really ...... Even if you have to deal with Jiangdong, but my Wancheng is not important? This is the gateway to Jingxiang, once it is lost here, Jingbei can no longer be blocked. Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.

"Lord, someone from Xiangyang said that Liu Jingzhou had something to ask the lord to go to discuss." Walk in Chen Zhi outside the door and report to Liu Beiyu.

……

Liu Biao, the host, sent someone to invite him, and Liu Bei, as a guest, naturally couldn't help but go. However, for the sake of safety, Liu Bei took his second brother Guan Yu and let the third brother Zhang Fei stay in Wancheng to defend the city. Originally, Liu Bei wanted to keep Guan Yu and take Zhang Fei, but he found that Guan Yu didn't seem to deal with Liao Li very well, so in order to avoid trouble, he could only change his mind temporarily.

When the two arrived in Xiangyang, it was getting late, Liu Bei wanted to go to the post house to rest for a night, and the next day he went to see Liu Biao, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to be in a hurry, and before Liu Bei settled down in the post house, Liu Biao's personal entourage came over.

"Envoy, why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked after seeing Liu Biao.

"Xuande, it's not that I don't understand people, but the matter is urgent, and I have to ask you for help." Liu said apologetically to Liu Bei.

"Envoy, even if you have something to order, is the war with Jiangdong tight?"

"No, everything is going well in Deju, it's Guiyang County in Jingnan that something happened." Liu Biao shook his head and replied.

"Jing Nan? Gyeyang-gun? Are the barbarians in trouble again? Liu Bei frowned and asked.

"Well, the Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke gathered tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers to attack Guiyang, and the county guard Zhao Fan died in the middle of the arrow, if it weren't for the guards Bao Long and Chen Ying to defend the city, Guiyang might have called Shamoke to break through at this time. Xuande, I heard that the Shamoko is brave and invincible. And you also know that my Jingzhou literary style is prosperous, but this martial arts ......"

"Does the envoy want Bei to lead the army to relieve the siege of Guiyang?"

"If you can, I hope Xuande can be stationed in Jingnan. If Xuande is willing, the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling can be appointed by Xuande himself. I'm so annoyed by the barbarians who go on and off so often. Liu Biao said that at the end, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. And Liu Bei was quickly calculating the gains and losses.

It seems that Liu Biao has made a lot of money in order to lead his troops to Jingnan, and he is willing to take out three counties for one city in Wancheng. But Jingnan's population and economy are not as good as Jingbei, and if I go to Jingnan, it will not be easy to come back. And finally got on the line with Liu Qi, this separation, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no repetition.

"Xuande, what do you think? Are you willing to solve a problem? Seeing that Liu Bei didn't speak for a long time, Liu Biao couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask.

"The gentleman's words are heavy, thinking that if he hadn't been taken in by the envoy, Liu Bei would still be wandering now. Now that the king has something to do, Liu Bei is duty-bound. It's just that although Liu Bei has a few generals under him, there are few civil officials who govern the place. The envoy entrusted the three counties to Beibei, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it and let down the envoy. ”

"This matter is not difficult, Xuande can make a list when he goes back, and I will order someone to go to Xuande's tent to listen to it."

"In that case, thank you very much."

"So, Xuande agreed?"

"Please also ask the king to give a few days, wait for the army and horses to be ready, and then go south to quell the rebellion. By the way, if Bei leaves Wancheng, I don't know who will be stationed in Wancheng? Liu Bei asked as if unintentionally. Liu Biao, who was happy that Liu Bei knew the current affairs, didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "Wancheng is the gateway to Jingxiang, and it is difficult to reassure outsiders when handed it over, so I will order Liu Pan to lead his troops there." Of course, Xuande is not an outsider. ”

Liu Biao's last sentence made Liu Bei feel excited, and he thought that Liu Biao let him lead his troops to Jingnan just to solve the trouble of barbarians. But now it seems that I am afraid that this is also a sign that Liu Biao is beginning to guard against himself. Jingnan is underpopulated, and it is not possible to develop it in a short period of time. And handing over Wancheng to Liu Pan is probably also to erase his influence in Wancheng.

Realizing in his heart that Liu Biao was guarding against him, Liu Bei immediately did not dare to say more, lest he would lose if he said too much. After saying goodbye and returning to the post house, Liu Bei began to think about who to dig up from Liu Biao. To say that Liu Bei stayed in the land of Jingxiang, he was not idle, and he usually visited the Jingzhou family as long as he was fine, this popularity was okay, and Liu Bei also knew what talents there were in the land of Jingxiang.

Liu Bei, a person from the Cai and Kuai families, didn't think about it. Just as Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked down on Liu Bei, Liu Bei also looked down on the people of Cai and Kuai's families. Liu Bei is willing to accept Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang of the Kuai family, but people may not be able to deal with Liu Bei.

There are many families in Jingzhou, in addition to Cai and Kuai, there are many of them, leaving aside those who are impossible to take care of themselves and those who they look down on, Liu Bei is ready to ask Liu Biao for Xiang Lang of the Xiang family and Ma Liang of the Ma family.

Liu Biao saw that there were not many people who asked Liu Bei for it, so he didn't make any more troubles, and generously gave Xiang Lang and Ma Liang to Liu Bei. Under Liao Li's persuasion, Xiang Lang and Ma Liang didn't complain anymore, and came to Liu Bei's account to serve together. With Xiang Lang and Ma Liang, Liu Bei no longer delayed time, and immediately led the army to leave Wancheng and arrived in Jingnan across Jiangling.

The officials of Wuling and Lingling returned to Xiangyang after the handover of Wancheng, and Liu Bei appointed Ma Liang and Xiang Lang respectively to serve as the county guards of Wuling and Lingling. Especially when he left Wuling, Liu Bei left his second brother Guan Yu to be responsible for training the navy.

……

Liu Bei's army slaughtered Guiyang, and the news soon reached Shamoke, who was leading the crowd to besiege Guiyang. Shamoko is eighteen this year and has just taken over as the barbarian king. It is precisely because he has just become a barbarian king that Shamoke needs to let his people know his martial bravery, so he has the matter of attacking Guiyang.

Shamoko is good at using thistle terrestris bones, and this thistle bones look like a long-handled version of the mace, which is a heavy weapon, relying on smashing and injuring the enemy, even if the martial arts of this weapon are not amazing, but this body strength is definitely not small.

The barbarians did not retreat on their own because of the killing of Liu Bei's army, on the contrary, under the leadership of Shamoke, the barbarians took the initiative to meet them. Shamoke even planned to fight and stand up for power, and go out alone to show off his might in front of Liu Beijun.

In the tribe of the barbarians, Shamoke is the first warrior, but in front of Liu Bei's army, Shamoke's move is to seek death. Zhang Fei has never been an honest person, and when he saw Shamoke being so arrogant, he immediately couldn't stay anymore, and asked Liu Bei to fight and plan to teach this barbarian who didn't know the height of the sky a lesson.

"Gongyuan, what do you think?" Liu Bei first asked Liao Li's opinion. Liao Li thought for a while and replied: "Barbarians have always disrespected the law and respected strength. Since the three generals intended to teach Nashamoko a lesson, it was naturally good. But the three generals, it's okay to go to war, don't ask for Nashamoko's life. ”

“…… Gongyuan, that Shamoko is your relative? Zhang Fei blinked, and suddenly a sentence came out.

Fortunately, Liao Li has been with Zhang Fei for a long time, and he has some understanding of the character of this hun person, and he is not angry when he hears the words, but he just glared at Zhang Fei before explaining: "There are few people in Jingnan, if the lord wants to make a difference, those barbarians can take advantage of it." Three generals, don't spoil the lord's big affairs for the sake of a momentary pleasure. ”

"Got it, why do you say so much? Isn't it just that I'm afraid that I will kill that Shamoko and won't be able to win over those barbarians? Zhang Fei muttered and urged him to step forward.

Seeing a black-faced man coming out of the Han army, Shamoke glanced Zhang Fei up and down, and shouted: "Come and get a name, this king will not kill a nobody." ”

Zhang Fei was happy when he called Shamoke's words, a barbarian, who also learned from the Han people, immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Yan Zhang Fei is here, you barbarian, come and die." ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, exchange names, then there is nothing to use in the mouth, Shamoke and Zhang Fei are not good-tempered people, and immediately let out a loud cry at the same time and rushed towards each other.

In Shamoke's mind, with the iron thistle bone in his hand, even if he couldn't smash the Han general in front of him at once, he could smash the other party half to death, but before he could get closer, he saw the weapon in the enemy's hand stabbing over. Shamoko hurriedly parried, and at the same time secretly scolded the Han general in his heart for being shameless.

The weapon Zhang Fei made is called the Zhangba Snake Spear, according to the storytelling, the spear is one zhang eight long, and when converted to the current length, it is more than four meters, but it is a storytelling, and it cannot be taken seriously. But even if you change the algorithm, the Zhangba snake spear is about two meters and a half. And the thistle bone in Shamoko's hand is actually a long-handled version of the hammer, but with spikes added to the hammer head, the length of this weapon will not be more than two meters long, otherwise it will become very difficult to use.

As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, Zhang Fei took advantage of the weapon chief, and almost made Shamoke suffer a big loss. Shamoke, who was angry in his heart, rushed to Zhang Fei's approach, stood up on the horse, held the thistle terrestris bone high with both hands, and smashed Zhang Fei's head down with a blow to split Huashan.

This trick has a thousand powers, if it is an ordinary person who is hard to connect, he will break his bones and tendons if he can't keep it, but Zhang Fei is not an ordinary person, he is also good at strength, relying on the magic soldier in his hand and the BMW under his crotch, he saw Zhang Fei shouting, and raised the snake spear in his hand and raised it violently, and caught Shamoke's killing move.

Shamoke was shocked when he saw this, and before he could react, Zhang Fei shook his shoulders, and also raised the snake spear in his hand, just like Shamoke stood up on the horse, and slashed Huashan with a blow at Shamoke. Seeing this, Shamoke immediately gritted his teeth, and learned from Zhang Fei to prepare for hard jointing.

It's just that Zhang Fei has the help of the divine soldier BMW, but Shamoke does not. Coupled with Zhang Fei's full strength, even if Shamoke could withstand this huge force, the war horse he was riding could not withstand it. With a grieving roar, the front hooves of the war horse that Shamoko was riding knelt on the ground and flipped Shamoko to the ground.

Shamoke closed his eyes and waited for death, but Zhang Fei's voice came from his ears, "If I kill you like this, you will not be convinced." Let's go back and change horses and fight again. ”

Shamoke almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly opened his eyes to look at Zhang Fei, only to see that Zhang Fei had already turned his horse around. Looking at Zhang Fei's back, Shamoke was in a somewhat complicated mood. It was useless to stay here, Shamoko hung his head and reached for the weapon on the side, and when the weapon was in his hands, Shamoko noticed that his hands were cracked.

When Shamoko returned to the formation, his subordinates immediately gathered around him, and even more cleverly brought new horses for Shamoko. It's just that Shamoko didn't have his usual demeanor, and he didn't rush out to find the field, but announced that the army would retreat and set up camp. Everyone was puzzled, but Shamoko didn't explain it to everyone, and went back to his tent sullenly.

"Third brother, it's hard work, are you okay?" Liu Bei stepped forward and asked Zhang Fei with concern.

"Brother, the little brother is fine, I didn't expect that the strength of that barbarian is really not small." Zhang Fei turned over and dismounted, and said to Liu Bei with a look of indifference.

"The three generals are doing well, presumably at this time Nashamo Ke is even more depressed than the three generals." Liao Li on the side said with a smile.
