Chapter 172: Xiangyang Storm (2)
After Cai Mao and Huang Zu heard what Liu Biao said, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, because they could both understand the power of the plan that Liu Biao said.
Liu Biao's clear praise and action, using the mouths of people from all walks of life in Jing, can make Liu Bei not a human being inside and out.
Well, on the bright side, he brazenly proclaimed how many achievements Liu Bei had made in presiding over the overall situation of Jingzhou in place of Liu Biao, but he said that Liu Bei now had the heart to seize Liu Biao's lord of Jingzhou, and he also said conclusively that Liu Bei was already impeaching Liu Biao and wanted to force Liu Biao to give way.
As soon as Liu Biao did this, Liu Bei's reputation in Jingzhou really stinked.
Well, aren't you Liu Bei known for his benevolence and righteousness? You are very talented, and you claim to be benevolent and righteous everywhere, so you fled to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao took you in. So, you Liu Bei always have to be a little grateful to Liu Biao, right? Now that Liu Biao is in trouble, Liu Bei came to help Liu Biao guard Jingzhou, which is as it should be, and morally, Liu Bei is also obligated to help Liu Biao.
Okay, you can be regarded as a help now, and Liu Biao also trusts you very much, and the military and political power of the entire Jingzhou is handed over to you Liu Bei, what do you Liu Bei want? That, you've only been governing Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao for a few days? Where can people see what talent you Liu Bei has to govern Jingzhou well? What did you Liu Bei do for the people of Jingxiang? The cowhide blew into the sky, saying that when Liu Bei governed Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao, how well Jingzhou was governed, but is this a fact?
The eyes of the masses are bright, and the more they praise Liu Bei how good he is, it is equivalent to setting Liu Bei high to roast, and then. Besides, it is conclusive to say that Liu Bei intends to usurp Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and this rumor came out. It is equivalent to killing Liu Bei with another stick. made Liu Bei unable to argue.
When the time comes, no matter how Liu Bei wants to argue, he will not be able to argue. This kind of rumor, especially now that Jing Xiang's mouthpiece is still in Liu Biao's hands. What else can Liu Bei do?
It is foreseeable that first, Liu Bei retreated bravely, and he immediately asked Liu Biao to explain clearly. proved that he had no second heart for Liu Biao, and then immediately returned the power of Jingzhou to Liu Biao publicly. This is not enough. He also publicly declared that he could only be Liu Biao's minister forever, and that he was only helping Liu Biao resist the New Han Dynasty now. In this way, Liu Bei is tantamount to asking Liu Biao to put himself under house arrest. Because he could not leave Jingzhou at this time. Once you leave Jingzhou. So how to let Liu Biao hold him hostage Liu Bei to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei resist the enemy of the New Han Army for them? Unless Liu Bei really goes elsewhere and stays away from Jingzhou, then he can only stay in Xiangyang now, and he can't go anywhere.
Second, that is, Liu Bei really had the heart to usurp Liu Biao's lord of Jingzhou, and on the one hand, he explained to Liu Biao a little. Then, step up your preparations. Prepare to completely overhead Liu Table. Of course, if Liu Bei chooses this path, then, what awaits Liu Bei is very likely to be a point of no return.
Because, now Liu Bei thinks that those Jingzhou civil and military forces who have thrown themselves into him are actually just acting, and among them, there are really few who really vote for Liu Biao.
Even if in history, he served Liu Bei early on, in this life, he didn't have any intersection with Liu Bei at all, because Yi Yi had already belonged to the New Han Dynasty, and now, a lot of information about Jingzhou was also told by him to Liu Yi.
Also, Ma Liang's Ma family is not optimistic about Liu Bei at all now, and people have always been just scolding him Liu Bei. Now, Ma Liang, who is still a kid, I'm afraid I don't even know who Liu Bei is.
It can be said that Liu Bei's best choice now is to flee Jingzhou immediately, and while Liu Biaoxiàn has not officially restricted his freedom, he can break out of Xiangyang under the escort of his own military horses and go to the front line to join Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Then, run as far as you can, and never stay in Jingzhou again. However, after leaving Jingzhou, where can Liu Bei stay?
Cai Mao and Huang Zu naturally agreed to Liu Biao's plan, especially Cai Mao, who had already accepted Cao Cao's order to return to Xiangyang to make trouble and kill Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Now, Liu Biao actually has the mind and plan to kill Liu Bei. This is exactly what Cai Mao wants, and it is what he can't ask for.
In this matter, Cai Mao believes that now he only needs to push the boat down the river to put Liu Bei to death.
In addition, Liu Biao also made other arrangements, because Liu Biao knew that although Huang Zu was loyal to him, he was relatively upright, and there were many things that could not be put on the stage, so Huang Zu was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and he would not be able to do it well. Therefore, Liu Biao appointed Huang Zu to immediately replace the original Xiangyang guard, let Huang Zu lead the army to defend Xiangyang, and at the same time, blockade Xiangyang, and absolutely control Xiangyang City in his own hands.
Then, how to deal with Liu Bei will be handed over to Cai Mao, and Cai Mao will handle it with full authority.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be anything.
After all, in Xiangyang, it is Cai Mao's land, and it is really as easy as eating and drinking water to let people spread some rumors.
On the second day after the three of them conspired, rumors spread in Xiangyang City, of course, the temporary rumors were good for Liu Bei, to kill Liu Bei, this plan also had to be taken in multiple steps, and it could not be put in place at once.
Therefore, on the first day, almost all the people in Xiangyang had to give Liu Bei a hymn.
Neighborhood wine shops, scholars, and ordinary people, almost everyone is saying good things about Liu Bei, and even some people have made up some slips to praise Liu Bei for how benevolent and righteous Uncle Liu Huang is, what a hero, and how talented he is.
In Xiangyang City, after Cai Mao and Huang Zu returned to Xiangyang, there were so many voices praising Liu Bei in the city, which was really strange.
However, as a party, or as a praised Liu Bei, he may be a fan of the authorities, or he is too eager to get a rich place like Jingzhou as his development territory. Recently, he has been thinking about how to officially get Jingzhou from Liu Biao.
Seriously, what Liu Bei hopes to see most is that Liu Biao can understand current affairs and take the initiative to give Jingzhou to him, and then, he pretended to excuse himself, and then under the insistence of Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, he reluctantly took over Jingzhou from Liu Biao.
Well, Liu Biao thinks so, and he does the same.
He heard that the city of Xiangyang was full of praises for him, and he was happy in his heart.
For the first time, Liu Bei thought that during this time, Jingzhou Wenwu, who had been impressed by his personality charm, began to build momentum for him.
Hearing the many praises from the outside world for Liu Bei, Liu Bei was still a little happy, and thought to himself: Isn't it that the brothers of the Kuai family have begun to act and want to surprise themselves? Now build momentum for themselves first, and after their reputation in Xiangyang grows, they will persuade Liu Biao to give Jingzhou to themselves......
