Liu Biao received an official letter from an envoy sent by Lu Bu. The letter was full of Lu Bu's praise for Liu Biao, and he also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that he did not believe in Cao Cao and wanted to hand over the jade seal of the country to Jingzhou for safekeeping. ”

"Lu Bu is ambitious and unwilling to live under the people for a long time. Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei are examples of the past, and if they take him in today, they will definitely suffer from it. Kuai Yue stood up and said. Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang Ke are the four largest families in Jingzhou, and Lu Bu's methods of the family make them feel terrified and hateful at the same time.

Liu Biao smiled: "Kuai Strangeness has misunderstood. Lu Bu didn't say that he wanted to take refuge in Jingzhou, but now that the lower reaches of the Huai River are blocked, and the Huainan area is flooded, Lu Bu wants to migrate the Huainan population to Runan. Bringing Yingshui into the Huai River along the river, Lu Bu wanted the defenders of Pingchun, Yiyang, Xinye and other counties under my Jingzhou rule to open the door of convenience without hindrance. ”

"Liu Jingzhou can't, Pingchun is the eastern gateway of my Jingzhou, once Lu Bu is allowed to pass, if he has bad intentions, let the soldiers take the opportunity to drive straight in, and they will go straight to the hinterland of Jingzhou." General Wang Wei objected again, Lu Bu is a representative of capriciousness, and Lu Bu's nonsense is really tragic.

Cai Mao thought about it, Wang Wei held the heavy army in his hands, Cai Mao was unwilling to have only the navy in his hand, and objected: "Reckless man's opinion." If Lu Buzhen redirects to Yingshui, it is really heaven to help Jingzhou take the land of Runan and Huainan. ”

"What does Dejue mean by this?" Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, his brother-in-law and military advisor, puzzled.

"My Jingzhou may not be as good as the soldiers of a hundred battles under Lu Bu's command, if you talk about the water army, the world is invincible. Yingshui, Huai River water volume is large, if it is connected to the water, it can be built by boat. My Jingzhou Navy can go straight to the Shouchun area along the water. The land of Runan and Huainan is still not for me to gallop? Cai Mao pointed out the country with high spirits: "In my humble opinion, not only do I support Lu Bu to change the river, but also send more people to assist Lu Bu to widen and dig the river deeper." ”

Cai Mao said that Liu Biao's heart was pounding, Jingzhou and Yuzhou, Yangzhou, he will get the third of the world, and his power can compete with Yuan Shao. Kuai Liang didn't wait for Liu Biao to express his position, got up and persuaded: "Lu Bu's intention is not in the river, but in the grain of Jingzhou. There are many bandits in Runan, and Huainan was defeated by Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu has this desolate land, and the food is far from enough to support it, just in case, it is better to wait for the harvest and then negotiate the matter of digging the river. ”

Jingzhou is full of talents, and Lu Bu is worried that someone will see through his thoughts, so he mentioned this matter in his letter.

Liu Biao said: "In this way, Lu Bu should have no two hearts, he wants to exchange the people under his command for food. Jingzhou has a vast land and resources, and there is a lack of people to cultivate, Lu Bu killed chickens and eggs for eggs, how can I refuse? ”

Seeing that there were still people who objected, Liu Biao took the lead and said: "Lu Bu came because of the flooding of the river, as a martial artist can also help the people, I have a good name, how can I sit back and watch the people of Huainan suffer from it." Saving water is like fighting fire, and it should not be delayed. ”

Liu Biao continued: "However, Lu Bu can't be unguarded. I intend to have a heavy army in Zaoyang, send Zhang Xiutun soldiers to be happy, and Lu Bu, who was digging the river in the middle, moved slightly, and attacked from both sides. ”

The strategists saw that Liu Biao had already made careful arrangements, and even if Lu Bu wanted to take the opportunity to harvest grain, at most, only a few counties in the middle would suffer. There are 100,000 armored soldiers in Jingzhou, and no less than 30,000 elite soldiers, not including the world's largest naval army. Although Lu Bu has won great victories one after another, I am afraid that there is not one well-equipped soldier, and it would be good to add up all the people of Yuan Shu to order 100,000, and the people of Jingzhou are not worried at all that Lu Bu can defeat the Jingzhou soldiers if Jingzhou is prepared.

"Jingzhou is both mighty and friendly, Lu Bu is brave, and he can't lead troops to Zaoyang to garrison unless he is a strong general. I recommend a general, who has both civil and military skills, and can ensure that nothing goes wrong. Cai Mao immediately stood up and fought for military power.

Liu Biao was able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, all relying on the support of the family, he himself was a person who respected celebrities and despised martial artists, and he really couldn't find a general who could suppress Lu Bu by force: "I don't know who it is?" ”

"Wen Ping Wen Zhongye is also."

"Do you dare to speak up? Cai Deqimo didn't deceive me that there is no general in Jingzhou? Kuai Yue objected. Cai Mao has completely held the navy army in his hands, and then he has the army in his hands, and the other families in Jingzhou are really going to be excluded to the edge: "How about not General Zhang Yun commanding the army?" ”

Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew and is in charge of the Jingzhou Navy together with Cai Mao. Transferring Zhang Yun away, Cai Mao was in charge of the navy from now on, which was better than arranging a Cai protégé to master part of the infantry. Several parties have their own ghosts and reached a unified opinion.

Xuchang.

Cao Cao received Shouchun's detailed report, saying that Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Dong Cheng and others accepted the secret edict of the Son of Heaven and plotted to rebel, Cao Cao was furious: "The rats dare to do this!" ”

Cao Cao was about to order the soldiers to arrest Dong Cheng, but Xun Yu stopped: "This matter is about the Son of Heaven, and it is very important. The prime minister has no evidence, so it is not appropriate to act arbitrarily with the ministers of the court. Moreover, it was Lu Bu's words to report carefully, I am afraid that Lu Bu would see through Zhang Le's position as the prime minister, so he used Zhang Le's hand to reverse the relationship between the prime minister and the court officials. ”

Guo Jia said: "Xiliang Ma Teng is implicated here, and Ma Teng is far away in Xiliang, how can he be involved in the edict?" Cheng has a great favor to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's oath is first, grace is last, his name of benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, and he should not be implicated in the edict. ”

Cheng Yu adhered to the previous concept and retorted: "Although Lu Bu is unwise, if Ma Teng is not implicated, his mastermind Xu Shu should think that Ma Teng did not have the time and place to participate in the matter of the edict, how could there be such a major mistake?"

Look at Liu Bei again, first kill the prime minister's henchman Che Zhou, and then push the matter of the embankment to the head of the car, and then spread the edict of the guilty self all over the world, and pasted the guilty self book at the gates of Xuchang, Yecheng, Wujun, Xiangyang and other cities, telling the people of the world that he failed to stop the crime of the car breaking the embankment in time, but pushed his reputation of benevolence and righteousness to the highest peak, and his mental skills can be seen. ”

Guo Jia listened to Cheng Yu's analysis, cold sweat flowed, he was deceived by Liu Bei's oath, if he blocked the exit when Liu Bei left that day, it would not have caused today's ending, and said in a lost voice: "Zhong Mou's words are reasonable, I am afraid this matter is not Lu Bu's lie." If Liu Bei wants to break away from the prime minister, he must find a righteous person to maintain his reputation, and the edict is exactly what righteousness is trending. I am also guilty of negligence, please punish the prime minister. ”

Cao Cao remembered that Liu Bei's performance in Xuchang was not enthusiastic about power tricks, and asked with a hint of luck: "Could it be a misunderstanding?" This is very kind to Liu Bei, he shouldn't betray me. ”

Guo Jia hung his head and said dejectedly: "Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling returned to Xuchang successively, the military horses were indeed left by Liu Bei, and Xuzhou was determined, but Xuchang was a little empty. ”

Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu all persuaded each other, but Guo Jia was still very uncomfortable because of his dereliction of duty.

"It's better to strike first and raise troops to attack Liu Bei!" Cao Cao hated.

"Attacking Liu Bei for no reason, there is no righteousness, and there is a shortage of food and grass at the moment, so it is not appropriate to send troops. It is not too late to wait until the harvest is over. Cheng Yu persuaded: "What the prime minister should do now is to find evidence of Dong Chengmi's edict, and then clear the hidden dangers in Xuchang City. ”

"It's better to spread the news, say that Lu Bu is informing, how about discrediting Lu Bu?" Cao Cao was ready to pit Lu Bu.

Xun Yu smiled dumbly: "What reputation does Lu Bu have?" Even if his reputation is more stinky and what is the difference between him and now, he is not treated well by the world. If the edict is really true, doing so will expose Zhang Le, who was placed by Lu Bu's side. ”

Guo Jia, who has always been depressed, said sadly: "If Liu Bei rebels, Xu Chang is also in danger." It will face Yuan Shao of Jizhou in the north, Gaogan in Bingzhou, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou in the east, Liu Bei in Xuzhou in the southeast, Lu Bu in Huainan, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou in the south, and Ma Teng in the west. Xuchang is like a feather under the wall, embattled! ”

Cao Cao was shocked, and almost shocked that his newly healed head wind disease was committed again: "Could it be that the original appearance is like Xiang Wanghu?" ”

"The princes of the world are incompatible with each other. It was rumored that Lü Bu's army was moving north to Runan, and Lü Bu was likely to attack Xuchang while the prime minister and Yuan Shao were facing each other. You can send someone to recruit An Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and Lu Bu first, if these three people don't follow. Use the jade seal that Lu Bu is unwilling to hand over, and carry out discord to make them fight together, and the enemy in the south can retreat. Guo Jia sighed and continued:

"Sun Ce has just been defeated for a while, if the Son of Heaven has a will to drive him to crusade against Liu Bei, Sun Ce's wolf ambition will be readily accepted, and Liu Bei in the southeast is also contained, leaving only Guanzhong in the west and Yuan in the north."

"To the west, Han Sui and Ma Teng can also retreat." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao was frowning at the situation in front of him and asked, "How to retreat?" ”

Xun Yu said: "I recommend one person to retire the horse and Han two." ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who can do it?" ”

"This person Zhong Xuan is often the character of Yuanchang, and he is known for his prestige in Guanzhong, and he will definitely be able to succeed immediately."

"If you can calm down, the court will have no worries. However, Yuan Shaohu is located in Hebei, Qing, You, and Zhuzhou, with a million armor, and there are many civil and military generals, and Xuchang has been fighting for many years, and he is probably not his opponent. "All forces can come up with ways to contain it, and Cao Cao still doesn't have the confidence to single out Yuan Shao.

"Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the prime minister knows it. Han Zu is only outwitted; Although Xiang Yu is a bird, he will eventually become a bird. Jia stole the material, Yuan Shao had ten defeats, and the prime minister had ten victories, although the soldiers were in charge, they could not do anything. Guo Jia suppressed the loss in his heart and said.

"That ten defeats, that ten wins?" Cao Cao asked excitedly. Although Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and others were afraid, they still had the confidence to send troops to fight, but in the face of Yuan Shao, a behemoth, Cao Cao had no confidence.

"Yuan Shao has many etiquettes and is often trapped by form; The public proceeds from reality and is natural, and this way is ...... to win" Guo Jia said the advantages and disadvantages that had been analyzed a long time ago, which was used to encourage Cao Cao and boost morale.

"Great. In the words of filial piety, Yuan Benchu is like a broken drum, and this battle will be won. Cao Cao was immediately full of confidence.

Cao Cao sent Chen Qun south to Wancheng, Runan and Xiangyang to say that Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao were three people, and Cao Cao hated Chen Qun for helping Liu Bei get out of trouble that day, and wanted to use Lu Bu's hand to get rid of him.
