"Now we have nearly 9,000 soldiers, and the food for these people will be a big problem. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJingzhou is rich in products, and its thorn history Liu Biao has an old relationship with us. If you want to develop and grow, you should also reconcile with Liu Biao. ”

"Liu Biao has been guarding Jingzhou for more than 20 years, with 300,000 troops and 1,000 generals. But they only knew how to stick to their territory and never participated in wars. This Liu Biao has no ambitions, so we might as well take advantage of the situation to take Jingzhou. Guan Yu said immediately.

"No, no, no, Liu Biao is mediocre, but the naval army under his command is also the best in the world. With our strength, if we want to conquer Jingzhou, we are still far away. Zhao Tian shook his head and said.

"Then you've been hiding under Liu Biao's roof?" Zhang Fei asked.

"It's not that you don't take it, but the time has not come. Today's plan has to rely on Liu Biao first. ”

"Ziying wants to use Liu Biao's grain and grass to recruit troops and expand his power?" Guan Yu seemed to have guessed a thing or two.

"That's just one of them."

"And what else?" Guan Yu asked.

"There's still talent." Zhao Tian said with a smile.

"What talent?" Guan Yu immediately asked.

"When we stay in Jingzhou, we will naturally know. Now we have to choose one person to send to Jingzhou. Now that Liu Bei has taken refuge in Lu Bu, Liu Biao will definitely be wary of us. The matter of Jingzhou is of great importance. This time to Jingzhou, it is necessary to choose a bold and careful person. Zhao Tian said.

"I'll go." Zhang Fei patted his chest and said.

"No, this envoy to Jingzhou is not to fight with it. You also need to choose someone who is thoughtful and flexible. I'm too young, and it would be too undignified for me to go in person, otherwise I'll go. Zhao Tian said in a deep voice.

"The grain and grass master Bo Sun Qian, who is very sensitive, bold and careful, should be able to take on this big task." Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Tian.

"Okay, pass on Sun Qian."

After a while, a well-dressed short scholar stepped forward and bowed to everyone, it was Sun Qian.

Zhao Tian had a brief conversation with Sun Qian, and he was very satisfied. Although this person has low strength, he has extraordinary insight and is bold and careful, and he is the best candidate to send to Jingzhou. So he no longer hesitated, and immediately made a decision on the matter. Early the next morning, Sun Qian took a carriage to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City, Council Hall.

Liu Biao, who was full of vicissitudes, sat in the first place, looking at his appearance, he was already close to his sixtieth birthday. There was a person standing next to him, it was Sun Qian, who was the envoy to Jingzhou.

"Since the Battle of the Snow Mountains in the Far North, we have drawn a clear line with Liu Bei, and since then water and fire have been incompatible. Now my lord Guan Yu is recruiting heroes, in order to restore the Han dynasty and return to the old capital. ”

Liu Biao listened to Sun Gan's words silently, and his expression was a little hesitant.

"My lord, I think they are here to eat and drink for nothing. They want to use our grain and grass to feed their own soldiers and horses. The general next to Liu Biao, Cai Mao leaned over and said.

"Yes and no." Liu Biao turned his eyes to look at the envoy Sun Qian and said slowly.

"Yes and no." Sun Qian smiled slightly and replied.

"I want to hear about it."

"We now have 10,000 men and horses, but we have no place to stay. This time, he came to seek refuge in Ming Gong, and he did come for grain and grass, but he did not eat and drink for nothing. My lord Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both world-famous generals, and our army is even more brave and the best of the best. If the situation is changing today, Yuan Shao's strength is monstrous, and Cao Cao is growing stronger day by day. In the eyes of these two tigers, the nine counties of Jingzhou are a piece of fresh and tender fat. Our lord has made a promise that we will wait for the army to come to Jingzhou, and we will never go deeper. Mingjun only needs to hand over a few small cities in Nanyang County to us, and we will stand at the gate of Jingzhou to keep Mingjun safe. Sun Gan spoke sincerely, and his words were sincere and sharp, which impressed everyone.

"What you say is clear. But how can I trust you? Once you take the opportunity to capture my Jingzhou, won't I lure the wolf into the house? Liu Biao said with a smile.

"This is reassuring. You have 300,000 troops and horses, and our little strength is no threat to you. If Ming Gong really can't rest assured, he only needs to place a thousand defenders on the banks of the Yuanya River, and he can stop us and the others. My lord and Ming Gong are friends who depend on each other in this troubled world. How can we do such a thing that brings about our own destruction? ”

"I have news that Liu Bei is now being held in the hands of Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao's army attacked, Liu Bei's life was threatened. Will you turn against the city and give it up? Liu Biao saw that Sun Qian's words were extremely sincere, and he didn't want to hide it anymore at the moment. Liu Biao nodded to Cai Mao, who stepped forward and directly said what he was most concerned about.

"Absolutely not. Before, my lord and Liu Bei were sworn brothers, but since Liu Bei treacherously took refuge in Lu Bu, my lord and Liu Bei are enemies who do not share the sky. Now my lord can't wait to kill Liu Bei with his own hands, how can he be afraid of the hostages in Cao Cao's hands. Sun Qian immediately replied.

"In the past, I only knew that Guan Yu was an invincible hero, and I didn't expect him to have a talented and capable person like you." Cai Mao was said by Sun Qian, and she had nothing to say, shook her head and smiled.

"There are countless capable people under my master, and there are not enough people to worry about." Sun Qian bowed and said in a deep voice.

Liu Biao repeatedly weighed what Sun Qian had said before in his heart, and secretly claimed to be true in his heart. After thinking about it again, Liu Biao finally made up his mind. As soon as the decision is made, the decision is made immediately.

"Well, from now on. We are friends who share weal and woe. I'll write a letter right now and send it to Shinno Castle, Nanyang County. You can garrison Xinye at any time, and from now on, we will supply you with all the food and grass you need. ”

"Thank you, Ming Gong." When Sun Gan heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't dare to show too much on the surface, but he bowed slightly and replied in a deep voice.

"You've also been tired all the way, so it's better to stay here for a few days, and let us just be the friendship of the landlord." Liu Biao said slowly.

"Ming Gong is kind, and I am grateful. It's just that I have a life, and I need to go back as soon as possible to recover my life. Sun Qian said respectfully.

Sun Qian rested in the inn for the night, and went back the next morning. Sun Gan's mission to Jingzhou this time not only solved the urgent need for food and salary for the army, but also won a valuable base for Guan Yu, Zhao Tian and others. Since then, Sun Qian's status in Zhao Tian's heart has risen greatly. Guan Yu, Zhao Tian and others also developed little by little from this small Xinye. Living in Xinye, looking at the world.
