In the middle of April of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao died, and the imperial court sent an envoy Liu Ye to Xiangyang, x

Jingzhou Mu Liu Cong led Jingzhou Wu and jointly greeted Liu Ye, and Liu Bei was also among them.

At this time, Liu Bei's identity, although he was the emperor's uncle, was only a county guard, and before he turned his face with Cao Cao, he still had to pretend to be an envoy of the imperial court.

Of course, he wished that Cao Cao wouldn't turn his face with him, and let himself have time to plot slowly.

But this kind of thought is just an extravagant hope.

When Liu Ye entered Xiangyang, he only talked about condolences for Liu Biao's death, and did not say anything to persuade Liu Cong to surrender, and Jingzhou relaxed its vigilance, except for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Ye was a great enemy and came to snatch Jingzhou with him.

"My lord! Liu Ye came, there was no powerful person around him, and he never brought soldiers and horses, the lord only needed to send someone to ambush this person, and everything would be over! "Bai Yuwei commander Chen Zhi suggested.

"No, at this time, I didn't directly tear my face with Cao Cao, but I can't take the initiative to attack and kill the court envoys. Besides, Liu Ye is a relative of the Han family, how can he say that he can kill if he kills, if this is the case, prepare for the matter of supporting the Han family, and mention it! ”

Liu Bei didn't dare to kill Liu Ye, but Liu Ye dared to dig Liu Bei's corner.

Liu Bei is in Xiangyang at this time, which is just equivalent to Liu Biao Tuogu and letting him assist Liu Cong, as for what Liu Cong wants, Liu Bei still can't be the master.

Moreover, Liu Bei only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Qi has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 10,000 soldiers. Liu Cong had 20,000 Xiangyang troops, sufficient grain and grass, and the support of many local scholars, so his foundation was much more solid than Liu Bei's.

Liu Ye saw Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He and the three brothers, and said that the prime minister expected the generals to come to vote, and the Cai brothers were convinced.

What's more, relying on Liu Biao and Cao Cao is just a change of company for the Cai brothers.

Liu Biao is just an ordinary company limited by shares, while Cao Cao is a listed company and a group company with stable benefits.

Liu Ye's second step was to talk about Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun is Liu's cousin's nephew, and his mother, Liu, is Liu's cousin's sister, and Yun and Cai Mao have a friendship by marriage.

He and Cai Mao also got along with Liu Biao, and also got along with Liu Biao's second son, Liu Cong. Liu Biao and Cai wanted Liu Cong to be the queen, while Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were their henchmen.

Liu Ye said that Zhang Yun didn't need to speak too much, just pulled out Cai Mao, and it was easy to get it.

So Liu Cong, the company's two major shareholders and managers, voted to give Jingzhou to Cao's Group Company.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun joined hands to lobby Liu Cong, and Liu Congchu said angrily: "Now that my father's bones are not cold, you want to vote for Cao?" Now that I have Uncle Liu Huang here, and Xiangyang Jiancheng is guarded, how can I be afraid of Cao Cao's 100,000 army? ”

Cai Mao Zhang Yun was speechless, and suddenly walked out of a person, his appearance was also handsome, but it was Fu Xun (x) under the original Liu Biao's account, Fu Xun said: "There is a general situation in adversity, and there is a fixed trend in strength and weakness." It is the way of rebellion for us to resist the court with our subordinates. It is bound to be dangerous to use the new construction of Jingzhou to fight against the Central Plains. It is inappropriate to use Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao. All three are insufficient, and resisting the imperial court is the way to perish. How does the general feel about how he compares to Liu Bei? ”

Liu Cong said: "It's not as good as it." ”

Fu Xun said: "If Liu Bei can't resist Cao, then Jingzhou can't survive on its own, Cao Cao broke through Xiangyang, where can you save your life from the general." If Liu Bei can resist Cao, then Liu Bei will no longer be a general's minister. With Liu Bei as a hero, can he live under the general for a long time? I hope the general will no longer be confused. ”

After Fu Xun finished speaking, the audience was shocked.

It turned out that this Fu Xun was a famous critic during the Three Kingdoms, and he once commented that Pang Tong was an "incomplete hero", Pei Qian was "famous in all directions", and Wei was ridiculed as "rebellion is a matter of time or time".

Although these remarks have not been made at this time, they prove that this person is really wise.

Liu Cong listened to Fu Xun's words, suddenly woke up, and immediately went to see Liu Ye and raised the people of Jingzhou to surrender to Cao Cao.

However, Liu Cong was still kind, and when he decided to defect to Cao Cao, he did not forget to inform Liu Bei secretly.

When Liu Bei heard that Liu Cong wanted to vote for Cao Cao, he was shocked, and hurriedly led Zhao Yun and Liu Qi out of Xiangyang overnight and fled back to the army camp.

Liu Qi was confused and followed Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't care about Liu Qi's feelings, so he habitually ordered Zhao Yun and Liu Qi to lead the army west to Hanzhong.

Liu Qi knew that the situation could no longer allow him to say more, so he returned to Hanzhong with Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, which can be regarded as having a certain foundation. Before leaving, there were hundreds of families, leading their respective populations, and running to Hanzhong with Liu Bei. Liu Bei knew the truth that the people were the roots, so he didn't give up on them, hit the time difference, and took more than 30,000 people to drag their families and go west to Fangling.

This time, Liu Bei walked much more calmly than in the original history, and there was a dangerous place in Hanzhong to defend, not afraid of Cao Cao's army chasing him.

By the time Cao Cao's army reached Fancheng, Liu Bei had fled west to Fangling County, south of Wudang Mountain.

Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu had already sent troops to follow, Liu Bei and the two of them talked about Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang sighed that this was indeed the case.

Guan Yu felt that Liu Bei was stingy and couldn't make a decision immediately and killed Liu Ye.

Cao Cao went to Fancheng, heard that Liu Cong raised Jingzhou to attach, was overjoyed, and raised an army of 50,000 to cross the Han River to Xiangyang.

On April 23, Cao Cao feasted in Xiangyang, Liu Cong was the counselor, and the three Cai brothers, Zhang Yun, and Fu Xun all had official positions.

At this time, Yang Xi had already arrived in Anlu, Huang Zu had already been released from prison in Xiling Prison, and returned to Anlu to recuperate, and Yang Xi went to Huang's manor in person.

The large and small branches of the Huang family, when they heard that Yang Xi was in person, they were all shocked, and the clan discussed.

The old patriarch of the Huang family died early, and the current patriarch is Huang Yan, the second uncle of Huang Zu, who has a relationship with Yang Xi.

In order to avoid the Huang family following in the footsteps of the major families in Xuzhou, Huang Yan and Huang Zu came to welcome Yang Xi in person.

This time he went to Anlu, but Yang Xi brought Huang Jie, the magistrate of Xiling County, with him, which was naturally suspected of showing favor to the Huang family. When the people of the Huang clan saw Huang Jie and Yang Xi coming together, they were all relieved.

At the same time as Yang Xi went to Anlu Huang, he ordered Mao Luan to lead his troops to the west to take Jingling, and then divided his troops to the north to take Yundu County and Nanxin County, and since then, the southern part of Jiangxia has fallen into the hands of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

However, Yang Xi did not continue to go north, but lost Xiyang County in the north to Cao Cao to take it, and he ordered the governor of the Julang Fleet to assist Lu Meng in the Jingnan Theater and take Huarong County on the north bank of the Yangtze River section of Dongting Lake (Huarong County was moved to the south of the Yangtze River in later generations and belonged to Yueyang).

Yang Xi controlled the entire Dongting Lake in the area, and Cao Cao also had the northern part of Jiangxia and most of the western part of the Dabie Mountain, so the two did not attack each other for the time being.

Seeing Yang Xi again, Huang Zu felt like a world away.

Yang Xi rode a huge war elephant to the Huang clan, hundreds of war elephants, when they advanced, the sound of the universe, the Huang clan thought that they were going to be trampled to death.

With deterrence, after Yang Xi entered the Huang clan, no one dared to point a finger behind him.

But Huang Zu is a person who has been imprisoned for five years, and he has seen a lot of light, seen a lot, and seen a lot clearly.

Huang Zu was imprisoned for five years, never interrupted his study, and he also studied some of the legal textbooks of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce thoroughly. It was Yang Xi who entered the Huang family, and the only one who was not shocked was Huang Zu.
