No one knew that when Liu Biao invited Liu Bei under the pretext that he was unwell and seriously ill in bed, Liu Bei had long thought that no matter whether Liu Biao was really sick or fake, he had to find a way to make Liu Biao really bedridden.

Because, this opportunity, for him Liu Bei, is really a good opportunity that is difficult to seize. If he misses it, he doesn't know when he will have another chance to get a territory of influence that can be used for him to develop.

If it falls into the hands of Liu Yi or Cao Cao, he thinks that he will lose the opportunity to chase the Central Plains, and he will never have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

Therefore, I am afraid that he also thought that Liu Biao invited him to Xiangyang, which was definitely not a good intention, but he still knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains. Resolutely embarked on the road to Xiangyang. Even, in order to reassure Liu Biao about him, he didn't even bring some of his confidants and advisers to Xiangyang, so that Liu Biao always thought that Liu Bei was always under Liu Biao's monitoring in Xiangyang, and thought that Liu Bei couldn't do anything.

No one knew that Liu Bei secretly sent his most confidant Jian Yong to Xiangyang secretly, and through the information that Liu Bei observed and probed, Jian Yong secretly controlled the doctors who treated Liu Biao.

In this way, through the mouths of those doctors, Liu Bei soon knew that Liu Biao was pretending to be sick. Then, Liu Bei passed through those doctors again and secretly drugged Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao unknowingly fell into Liu Bei's way, and he was really bedridden. And. Because the doctors and doctors who treated Liu Biao had already been controlled by Liu Bei, so. Liu Biao himself didn't know that he was in the way, and thought that he was really sick.

It can be said that Liu Biao did everything he could, but he didn't count that the doctor next to him was actually accused by Liu Bei. This is also an oversight of Liu Biao, and it is also the so-called one hundred secrets, no one thought that Liu Bei would pass this link. made Liu Biao really bedridden.

The current situation, although Liu Biao is indeed in control of Liu Bei in secret, but Liu Bei is now. But he directly controlled Liu Biao's life.

Well, Liu Biao and Liu Bei, these two people are not simple characters. There are calculations against each other.

Let's be honest. If Liu Biao hadn't felt an invisible sense of crisis from another aspect, he didn't initiate a plan against Liu Bei in advance. Then in the end, Liu Biao may die unknowingly, and Liu Bei will become the real lord of Jingzhou.

There are some things that Liu Bei actually doesn't need to get too many people to support, and he doesn't need Liu Biao to agree to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Liu Bei only needs to let Liu Biao's subordinates. It was enough to ask Liu Biao to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei once. If it is mentioned, and Liu Biao does not agree or disagree. He would all "die of illness" suddenly. In this way, Liu Bei is equivalent to losing his competitors, and under the current situation in Jingzhou, a group of people who were originally Liu Biao's subordinates had to support Liu Bei to become the lord of Jingzhou, so that Liu Bei's two righteous brothers could resist the attack of the New Han army for Jingzhou.

It's just that now Liu Biao has launched a plan against Liu Bei in advance, which makes Liu Bei fall into a relatively passive situation all of a sudden. In particular, under the current situation, the black hand behind him has widely publicized Liu Bei's ambitions, so that Liu Bei, who has established himself through benevolence and righteousness, has to consider that after letting people impeach Liu Biao and force Liu Biao to abdicate and make way for Xian, there will be incalculable damage to his Liu Bei's own name of benevolence and righteousness.

has lost the coat of benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bei is really nothing.

In particular, Liu Bei is most worried about his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if he is no longer the good big brother who is known for his benevolence and righteousness, will the two righteous brothers with great personality and opinions still regard him as a big brother worthy of their respect and follow?

Therefore, Liu Bei is now, he is not thinking about how to take Liu Biao Jingzhou, but to find a way to restore his own reputation, how to stop the rumors that have been spreading this time, and clarify that he Liu Bei has no intention of taking Liu Biao Jingzhou.

But how can this turmoil be put to rest? The only way is to invite Liu Biao to play a good show with Liu Bei, so that he can know to Xiangyang civil, military and the people that he Liu Bei is not here to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou, but Liu Biao asked him Liu Bei to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on his behalf. If you can let Liu Biao say a few good words for Liu Bei, at least put on a relationship with Liu Bei as brothers, and there is no such thing as fighting for power and profit. In this way, this turmoil may subside, and it will also make some people who think that he Liu Bei has any ambitions will also stop talking about these things.

In this way, when this turmoil subsides, and then Liu Biao slowly dies of illness, then his brother, brother and brother, when the time comes, it will be justified for him Liu Bei to take over Jingzhou.

Liu Bei thinks that Liu Ba is right, and now, he must first go to Liu Biao to make it clear, and then discuss with Liu Biao how to calm down this rumor.

Without hesitation, Liu Bei discussed with Liu Ba and Dong He, who came again, for a while, and immediately left for Liu Biao's palace to recuperate.

Since the day the rumors of Liu Bei's praise for Liu Bei spread, there have been a bit of dense clouds in Xiangyang City, and some people are naturally worried and some are looking forward to it.

Including Liu Bei himself, he just wanted to wait and see what happened.

And what does he mean by contemplation? In fact, I just want to wait and see what Liu Biao will think of these rumors about Liu Bei's praise in Xiangyang City.

But Liu Bei thought so because he didn't know that such an incident was caused by Liu Biao with one hand and one foot.

For the Kuai brothers who knew that it might be Liu Biao who targeted Liu Bei, they were worried at the moment. Because, after he met Liu Bei that day, he immediately went to see Liu Biao, and was going to ask Liu Biao about the situation, so as to express his loyalty to Liu Biao. However, for two or three days. They couldn't see Liu Biao and were turned away.

This is something that has never been tried before, Brother Kuai. When did they want to see Liu Biao, and when were they denied? And Liu Biao refused to see them, what does this mean? Could it be that Liu Biao really misunderstood that they would betray him?

If Liu Biao really thinks so, then they are really worried, you know, although they are Jingxiangwang clan. However, their Kuai family doesn't care about military power, if Liu Biao wants to destroy their Kuai family. That's really just a matter of moving your mouth and backhanding.

Therefore, in the past two or three days, the Kuai brothers took turns waiting for Liu Biao's summons outside the march of Liu Biao's "recuperation". Even Liu Bei couldn't take care of it.

Until. As soon as the wind of rumors from the outside world changed, it turned to rumors that Liu Bei was deeply ambitious and was ready to seize power, and the rumors of seizing Liu Biao Jingzhou came out, and the Kuai brothers were summoned by Liu Biao.

The brothers of the Kuai family, with a nervous state of mind, entered the palace and saw Liu Biao on the hospital bed.

"My lord, there are rumors out there right now. It's all rumors about Liu Bei, our brothers of the Kuai family. I guess it was the lord who made it happen, but we don't know. Originally, we had planned these things, and we knew how to implement them, but the lord did ...... Uh, my lord, are you doubting my brother of the Kuai family for your loyalty? After all, Kuai Yue was a little younger, a little unbreathable, and as soon as he saw Liu Biao, he directly said the worries and doubts in his heart.

Liu Biao lay on the bed, shook his hand to the brothers of the Kuai family who were kneeling in front of his hospital bed, motioned for the two to stand up, and then said weakly: "Ahem...... Hehe, no, no, heterogene, Zirou, you have a lot of heart. In the past two or three days, I Liu Biao have not seen you, not because I didn't mean not to see you, but because I am really sick now, and I really don't have the energy to talk to you in detail. ”

"What? Lord, are you really sick? When was this? Is it strict? The brothers of the Kuai family were all taken aback, because they really didn't know that Liu Biao was really sick.

"It's nothing big now, and I can't die for a while." Liu Biao said: "Well, you came just in time, there are some things that I am about to discuss with you." ”

Liu praised and raised his hand, as if to explain to the brothers of the Kuai family: "Different degrees, Zirou, it's not that I Liu Biao can't trust you, but I don't want to alarm Liu Bei, only you can stabilize Liu Bei." Well, don't say it, among the people who have been wooed by Liu Bei now, no one is really obedient to that Liu Bei, as far as Liu knows, in our Xiangyang City, there are already many scholars who have been suppressed by the Cai family and your Kuai family before, and they are indeed sincerely serving Liu Bei, and under the trend of interests, they naturally hope that our Jingzhou can change a master, so that they can obtain greater benefits. This part of the original famous family in Xiangyang, they are now inferior to your Kuai family, but they are also deeply rooted in Xiangyang, if Liu Bei has their support, even if they can't succeed in the end, it will always make them shake to our foundation, especially now that the new Han army is pressing, we have internal chaos, which is tantamount to self-anger and self-defeat. Of course, if Liu Biao hadn't just fallen ill, if necessary, I, Liu Biao, would have stood up immediately, put Liu Bei under house arrest, and let me Liu Biao control the overall situation of Jingzhou, which might not be too much of a problem. However, I'm afraid it won't work now, Liu is in poor health, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to deal with Jingzhou's affairs in person in a short period of time. Therefore, I am worried that after a long time, Liu Bei will take action, and once Liu Bei launches a coup d'état, then Xiangyang will be in chaos. Therefore, I also had to implement the plan for Liu Bei in advance. But I haven't had time to inform you, so I hope you don't have to be careful. ”

"Lord, lord...... What kind of illness do you have? It's not too much of a problem, is it? Kuai Liang was really a little worried and looked at Liu Biaodao on the hospital bed.

You know, Liu Biao pretended to be sick before, but it was just pretending. The brothers of the Kuai family never thought about the problem that Liu Biao was really sick one day and was sick at this critical moment. Now, Liu Biao is really so sick that he can't even handle government affairs, how can they not be surprised?

Jingzhou, without Liu Biao presiding over the overall situation, then the Xinhan Army is really going to fight, so what?

"It may be a small illness that is a major illness, in the past, because I was worried about the New Han Army, I was a little anxious, and you also know these things. It's really because I didn't pay much attention to it earlier, and I contracted the disease, so I will be like this...... Hehe, I didn't expect that I was just pretending to be sick, but I was really sick. Well, don't talk about that. Let's talk about what happened in Jingzhou. Liu Biao changed the topic and didn't want to talk more about his condition. turned to say: "Different degrees, Zirou, I think the current situation in our Jingzhou. It's also time to get rid of Liu Bei. Liu Bei, I believe you are also more aware that he is wearing the cloak of hypocrisy and deceiving the world under the banner of benevolence and righteousness. From the very beginning, he had the idea of seizing my Liu Biao Jingzhou. It's a pity that there are not too many people who can really see through Liu Bei. In order to avoid many days and nights, I think. Now it's time to go to Liu Bei. ”

"Hmm...... The lord is right. The brothers of the Kuai family glanced at each other, nodded, and Yue Liang said, "This Liu Bei." It's not a thing in the pool, and it's definitely not a person who is willing to be lonely. Keeping him in our Xiangyang is indeed a scourge. Our brother has been relatively close to Liu Bei recently. What he did. We can see it very clearly. At present, Liu Bei already thinks that the time is ripe for him to seize Jingzhou, and I am afraid that he wants to attack the lord. Even if the lord did not implement the plan against Liu Bei, our brother was ready to persuade the lord to implement the plan. But...... We just have always been a little worried, if we deal with Liu Bei, will it affect Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the front line, after all, if we don't have Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the front line, the two generals, to guard for us. Whether we can withstand the attack of the New Han Army is really hard to say. ”

"Hmm. Xenomorph, you're right to be worried, in fact, we've always had that. Now, though, I don't think I need to worry about that anymore. Liu Biao said: "Before, we didn't want to be passive, and we also had a little hope for Cao Cao, hoping that we would work with Cao Cao to counterattack the New Han Dynasty, capture Wancheng, and wave our army to Luoyang in one fell swoop." That way, if successful, we can remove a threat forever. We do need a peerless general to lead our forces for us, but now that we've decided to go on the defensive, we just need to defend our line. In this way, we are the same as whether Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will help each other. ”

"This ...... It seems to be the same reason, now, the front line is actually equivalent to the defensive posture we arranged before, whether there are two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to guard, for us, the impact seems to be really small. ”

"Right? You also think so, so we can only seek stability in Jingzhou now, and we must not let Liu Bei Hu come again, and we can no longer let Liu Bei's unstable factor destroy the stability of our Xiangyang. This time, what Liu wants to discuss with you is how to deal with Liu Bei's affairs. For Liu Bei, you say, did you kill him directly? Or put Liu Bei under complete house arrest? Liu Biao looked at the two of them and said.

"Killed...... W-That's not good, right? In case Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are angry, they will lead their troops to attack our Xiangyang......"

"Don't worry about this!" Liu Biao seemed to be confident at this moment: "We killed Liu Bei, but we didn't kill him for no reason." Now, the city is full of rumors, saying that Liu Bei wants to seek my Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and I believe that these things will also reach the ears of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The so-called success and defeat of the king, he Liu Bei is going to destroy me Liu Biao and take my Jingzhou, can't I Liu Biao kill him Liu Bei? This is Liu Bei's inhumanity first, I was only forced to kill him to protect myself, this kind of thing, where to put it is my Liu Biao reasonable, if Guan Yu and Zhang Feiming know that the fault is in Liu Bei's situation, and they want to lead the army to attack our Xiangyang, then we can only fight with them. Well, how many military horses are there for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? We in Xiangyang now, there are still 200,000 or 300,000 troops here, are we really afraid of the attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's military horses? At the very least, no matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, it is unlikely that they will be able to capture our Xiangyang with the two of them, right? ”

Liu Biao's hundreds of thousands of troops, half of the military horses are in the area of Jiaxia and Ancong, half of the military horses have been stationed in Xiangyang, and a small number of naval troops are in Xiangjiang. When it comes to fighting with the New Han Army, Liu Biao's heart is still relatively empty, but when it comes to fighting with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's military horses, they still have confidence.

"What's more, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both people who understand righteousness, when they knew that Liu Bei was wrong first and wanted to seek my Liu Biao's life, I Liu Biao had to kill Liu Bei, and it is unknown whether Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can attack us regardless of right and wrong."

"This ...... What does the lord mean, this time, we are going to destroy Liu Bei? Kuai Liang said worriedly.

"I Liu Biao thinks that if you can kill, you will kill in the end, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Because, even if we don't kill Liu Bei and put Liu Bei under house arrest, what will happen in the future? It is impossible to keep him under house arrest for the rest of his life, sooner or later he will be released, but once Liu Bei is released, when the time comes, he will definitely lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to retaliate against us, instead of letting Liu Bei go, let him retaliate against us in the future, why not solve the problem once and for all? Liu Biao said with deep understanding.

"How do you kill that?"

"Well, isn't Liu Bei preparing to launch a coup d'état and want to use our Jingxiang people he has won over to force me Liu Biao to give Jingzhou to him? I think that as long as you cooperate, let Liu Bei launch a coup d'état, and then let people kill Liu Bei, so that we can stand up in theory. ”

"Huh? The lord means ......"

"Now, Liu Bei should really think that you have already thrown himself into him, right? Then Liu Bei will definitely discuss with you how to force me Liu Biao to let Jingzhou give him something, and when the time comes, you will agree, and even encourage him a little to let him implement the plan. Then, you tell me Liu Bei's overall plan, and I can mobilize people to deal with Liu Bei. In this way, even those who really voted for Liu Bei can be wiped out. Liu Biao looked at the brothers of the Kuai family with sharp eyes at this moment.

The brothers of the Kuai family felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, because they knew that if they didn't come to see Liu Biao this time, who was sure that when Liu Bei launched the impeachment of Liu Biao, Liu Biao would kill them all?

Things have come to this point, and the Kuai brothers have no choice, they can only go to instigate Liu Bei to launch a plan to force Liu Biao to abdicate and make way for Xian, and then turn against Liu Bei and put Liu Bei to death.

As for not killing Liu Bei, just putting Liu Bei under house arrest, they won't talk about it, because keeping Liu Bei is indeed a scourge. Liu Bei is under house arrest, and he will be released sooner or later, once he is released, Liu Bei will inevitably hate them Jingzhou monarchs and ministers, and in the future, they will also face Liu Bei's revenge. In such a situation, it is better to kill Liu Bei directly, as long as Liu Bei is killed, it will be truly a hundred.

Liu Biao and the brothers of the Kuai family discussed for a while before letting the two brothers leave.

As soon as they left, Cai Mao stepped out from behind the screen.

Liu Biao is here, and he is really wary of the Kui family brothers, if the Kui brothers do not cooperate to get rid of Liu Bei, I am afraid that their Kuai family will be under Liu Biao's house arrest first.

Just when Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue left the palace where Liu Biao was recuperating, they saw Liu Bei at the door.

They had just discussed with Liu Biao how to go to Liu Bei, and now they met the main owner, which made the Kuai brothers a little embarrassed, but they couldn't avoid it.

Liu Bei stepped forward as usual, met the two, said hello, and then asked the brothers of the Kuai family to wait for him at his residence, and after he met Liu Bei, he went back to talk to them.

The brothers of the Kuai family knew at this moment that what should come would always come, so they agreed and agreed to go to Liu Bei's mansion and wait for Liu Bei to go back.

In the hearts of the Kuai brothers, there is not much guilt in murdering Liu Bei. Because, inviting Liu Bei and using Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the army to the enemy of the New Han Army for them, most of the strategies were come up with by them, and they planned to plot against Liu Bei from the beginning, so they didn't feel much guilt about Liu Bei at the moment.

In particular, Liu Bei was indeed restless in Xiangyang, which made the Kuai brothers and Liu Bei, although they seemed to be close on the surface, but in their hearts, they had always put them on the hostile relationship with Liu Bei.

In the palace, when he heard that Liu Bei was coming, Cai Mao didn't have time to say anything to Liu Biao, so he immediately hid.

"Jingsheng, how is your health lately? Is it getting better? As soon as Liu Bei came in, he said loudly and concerned from afar, strode close to Liu Biao's hospital bed, and grabbed Liu Biao's hand, looking like a brother.

"Xuande, are you here? What's going on lately? I'm still the same, I'm not dead or alive, if I'm too busy, I focus on big things, and I don't have to visit my eldest brother often. Liu Biao said in a weak tone to Liu Bei.

"Well, there haven't been any major events recently, but there are some rumors that are unfavorable to our brother, and I don't know if my brother has heard it, so in order to avoid some people with ulterior motives thinking that our brother is a wall. In order to prevent my brother from misunderstanding me Liu Bei, I had to come and talk to my brother. Liu Bei said with a smile on his face. (To be continued......)
