Cai Mao questioned, and Kuai Yue also said: "Jingsheng Gong, Liu Xuande has the appearance of a hero, and he really has to guard against it. ”

Several people were not very relieved about Liu Bei, but Liu Biao smiled and said: "You can rest assured, I only gave him a new field, and I don't believe that he can make any big waves." Everything is under my control. ”

Liu Biao was extremely confident, and Cai Mao and the others didn't say much.

After withdrawing, Cai Mao said to Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue: "Jingsheng Gong underestimates Liu Xuande too much, I'm afraid I will suffer a big loss at his hands in the future." ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue's faces are also not good.

Kuai Yue asked, "In General Cai's opinion, what should we do?" ”

"Keep a close eye on Liu Xuande." Cai Mao said: "Let's see where he goes after leading the soldiers and horses, if he really goes north, he will send soldiers to block the retreat." If he wins, everyone rejoices, and if he loses, we can find a reason to get rid of him. ”

"Jingsheng Gong has no intention of getting rid of him, but I'm afraid that it won't be easy to do when the time comes." Kuai Liang said: "It is necessary to be careful, and it may be a little troublesome to get rid of him. ”

"Even Cao Zirong felt that Liu Xuande was a trouble." Cai Mao said to the two: "What do you think of us compared to Cao Zirong? ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue glanced at each other.

Kuai Liang said: "Since Wancheng, Cao Zirong has never been defeated in the expedition, and we are definitely inferior to him. ”

"Since that's the case, even if he wants to kill the person who is going to kill him quickly, can we deal with it?" Cai Mao asked again.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue both shook their heads.

"Jingsheng Gong is too confident." Cai Mao sighed and said, "I only hope that Jingzhou can be kept in the future and not let it fall into the hands of Liu Xuande." ”

Cai Mao's worries were not unreasonable, and the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also embarrassed.

Ever since Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to live in Xinye temporarily, they had a feeling of luring wolves into the room.

Now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, but Liu Biao still thinks that everything is under his control......

After getting 20,000 troops from Liu Biao, Liu Bei did not delay for a moment, and took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei straight to the Xiangyang military camp.

In the afternoon of the same day, an army of 20,000 men drove out of the Xiangyang military camp and marched in the direction of Xinye.

Walking beside Liu Bei, Zhang Fei glanced back at the army following behind: "Brother is really sure that he can get such a force from Liu Biao." ”

"Other people's people still have to be returned when they run out." Liu Bei said: "Those in Xinye City are our own soldiers. ”

"In the hands of the elder brother, it is the elder brother." Zhang Fei said: "How can there be a reason to return it." ”

"Third brother." Liu Bei glared at him: "To be a man, you have to be true to your word, I just borrowed these soldiers and horses from Jingsheng Gong to crusade against Cao Cao, how can I have the intention of taking it for myself?" ”

Zhang Fei smacked his lips twice, and said with some unconvinced: "Brother is kind, but people don't necessarily treat you the same." Looking at Cai Mao's appearance, it seems that he can't wait to eat his brother alive. If the 20,000 soldiers and horses are kept in their hands, they will be able to save their lives in the future. ”

Liu Bei glared at him fiercely again.

Guan Yu said on the side: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, is my brother the kind of person who takes other people's things for himself?" ”

"I'm just crying out for my brother." Zhang Fei said: "We are stationed in Xinye, and the Cao family did not wave troops south. Now that I am asking them to borrow 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I still treat my brother as a thief, thinking of Cai Mao's face, I will not fight anywhere. ”

"Jingsheng Gong treats us well." Liu Bei said: "If he hadn't taken him in at the beginning, where would we have a place to stay now?" Since you are a human being, you must know how to be grateful. The third brother must not talk nonsense in the future. ”

Zhang Fei still pouted unconvinced, but he really didn't say anything.

Liu Bei borrowed 20,000 troops from Xiangyang and brought them back to Xinye to practice day and night, and Rampant Xi also put on a posture that he would attack Cao's army at any time.

Sima Yi's Cao army has been stationed in Mount Tai, ready to deal with the rampant attack at any time.

Since Cao Shuo commanded Xuzhou, there has been no war here for a long time.

The movement of Cao's army attracted the attention of many sensitive people.

Near Mount Tai, military households are ready to be called to fight at any time, while ordinary villages are panicked, and some people have already packed their bags, planning to move their families immediately if they find that the wind is not in the right direction.

In the territory of Mount Tai, Cao Jun barracks.

Sima Yi stood at the gate and looked into the distance.

Ju Yi came to his side: "Does General Sima think that Rampant Xi will come from this direction?" ”

"Where does General Ju think he will enter Xuzhou from?" Sima Yi did not answer, but asked Ju Yi rhetorically.

"I don't think he has a chance to enter Xuzhou at all." Ju Yi said: "There are military households everywhere, and once he makes a move, the military households can resist for some days. The general stationed his troops and horses in Mount Tai, which is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. No matter from which direction he attacks, our troops will be able to respond immediately. In my opinion, this battle is rampant and has no chance of winning at all. ”

"There are a large number of people under the command of Rampant Xi, but they are all Yellow Turban remnants who lack training." Sima Yi said: "I'm not worried about his army. What really worries me is the infiltration of small enemy forces. They are broken into pieces, and it is impossible for military households to chase them everywhere, so it is still possible to cause some trouble in Xuzhou. ”

"What are the general's plans?" Ju Yi asked.

"General Ju's first camp to attack the city is a good hand, but it's a pity that it's just a foot army." Sima Yi said: "If Gongzi sends me the dragon pattern horse, I will be a little more sure." ”

"It seems that General Sima didn't take a fancy to us to go to the camp first?" Sima Yi's words made Ju Yi a little unhappy in his heart, and his tone also revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"General Ju, don't get me wrong!" Sima Yi hurriedly said: "I don't mean to look down on the camp first......

"But that's what General Sima said meant." Ju Yi said: "It's not okay to go to the camp first to chase down the enemy, as the general said, it's still okay to attack the city." When I meet the Rampant army, I am willing to take the lead in the camp as the vanguard and fight a battle for General Sima. ”

"General Ju, I just said it unintentionally...... Sima Yi said with an embarrassed face: "General, don't take it to heart......"

Ju Yi snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

Sima Yi made a gesture to chase, but when he saw that he was walking fast, he had no choice but to stop, and sighed heavily.

When Ju Yi walked away, Sima Yi's entourage next to him whispered, "General Ju seems to be really angry." ”

"All he wants is his anger." Looking at the back of Ju Yi who was leaving, Sima Yi grinned: "If he is not angry, who will I find to be this pioneer?" ”

Kiss with the black lines on your head.

General Daqing didn't say those words unintentionally, but deliberately said them to Ju Yi, asking him to take over the responsibility of the vanguard himself......
