Secret, this is definitely a secret.

Liu Bei also understood a little bit in his heart what Ma Huang meant.

Liu Biao's wife, Cai, followed Liu Yi to Jiangdong, and then went to Jingzhou and did not return, and went to Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty, and it seems that it has been a long time since she went, right? Two years or three years?

Although, in the name of being invited by the princess of the first dynasty, the situation is really intriguing.

Liu Bei thought of it at once, that Cai's family, it is estimated that she has already become Liu Yi's merry boy woman by now, right?

Alas...... This Liu Biao seems to be ...... It's a bit of a sympathy with yourself......

Liu Bei smiled, and some of the hidden feelings were immediately understood in his heart, but after he laughed, his heart was also stiff, and his face was a little pale.

Because, after listening to Ma Huang talk about the secret story of Liu Biao and his wife Cai, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of his wife Gan Qian, who was divorced by himself.

Thinking of Gan Qian, who was as beautiful as white jade, Liu Bei's heart really hurt.

Liu Biao and his wife Cai, as well as himself and his wife Gan Qian, are surprisingly consistent in this matter.

Well, Liu Biao's wife Cai was invited in the name of the princess and the queen mother, but what about his wife? It was also taken by the chief public of the company. The result? Although Liu Bei has not seen it in person, he is already convinced that Gan Qian has definitely become Liu Yi's amorous woman now, and he doesn't even know how long ago it was. And with his wife's experience, Liu Bei is also sure that Liu Biao's wife, Cai, may have been poisoned by Liu Yi a long time ago, and she will definitely not be spared.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart really sympathized with Liu Biao, and he also understood why Liu Biao would vomit blood and fall ill when none of his subordinates dared to confront the New Han Army, and he also understood why Liu Biao would rather hand over the military and political power of Jingzhou to himself for the time being, and he did not consider surrendering to the New Han Dynasty. Here's why. It turned out that Liu Biao's wife was by Liu Yi's side, how could Liu Biao pull his face down to take refuge in his wife's cake? This is really more painful than killing Liu Biao.

Well, since it's so painful. Then, let me Liu Bei go and end this painful life for you.

Liu Bei secretly cheered himself up, determined to take advantage of this sudden and extremely rare opportunity, and must replace Liu Biao and become the lord of Jingzhou!

Ma Huang said at this time: "The lord, that Liu Biao, should already suspect that the Cai family has betrayed him, therefore, he treats Cai Mao." I'm afraid not really a henchman. Of course, Liu Biao is not the main reason, but Cai Mao. Well, Cai Mao should understand in her heart what it means that her sister is not by Liu Biao's side. Therefore, according to Ma's recent observations, I feel that Cai Mao seems to be different from usual, and seems to have become a little cautious and cautious in words and deeds. I usually keep a low profile in everything I do. If there is no problem between Liu Biao and Cai, then how can Cai Mao restrain his usual seemingly lawless actions? ”

"Be a thief!" Liu Bei said: "Then Cai Mao, you should know about this situation." understands that once Liu Biao wants to talk about his sister, then he Cai Mao and the Cai family will definitely not have a good time, after all, the current Liu Biao is not the Liu Biao who first came to Jingzhou to take office. ”

"That's right! It's a thief with a weak heart! Ma Huang agreed with Liu Bei's opinion and nodded, "Lord, please think." In Cai Mao's current position, what does he want to do most? I think...... What he should want to do most is to try his best to protect the current interests of him and the Cai family, and if he wants to protect the interests of the Cai family, he can only be cautious of Liu Biao. The lord wants to lobby Cai Mao. Instead, we can lobby in this area. After all, it is very painful to let a person live carefully all the time, and if you want to stop such days, then it is possible to get liberation by changing the master. ”

"That's right! This Cai Mao is really worth Liu's management, if Cai Mao can be convinced, then the big thing can be determined! Liu Bei said thoughtfully.

……

Then, Ma Huang took the trouble to provide Liu Bei with some lists, and also gave some reasons that could persuade them to switch to him Liu Bei, as if to let Liu Bei know what to do.

In this way, Liu Bei never thought that he had fallen into Liu Biao's calculations.

What Ma Xiao said to Liu Bei was true and false, and Liu Bei actually believed it all.

But this can't all be blamed on Liu Biao or Ma Huang to deceive him Liu Bei, this is mainly because Liu Bei also has bad intentions in his heart, if Liu Bei is really an upright and righteous gentleman, he only needs to be anxious for justice and righteousness, and do his best to support Liu Biao, who helped him. I won't think about how to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and I won't think about how to replace Liu Biao as the lord of Jingzhou.

After sending Ma Huang away, Liu Bei thought about it and decided not to tell Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the truth about the envoy sent by Liu Biao to invite him to Xiangyang.

Because Liu Bei was worried that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would be reluctant to hear that they were going to lead the Jingzhou army to fight the New Han army. Therefore, he decided to bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xiangyang first, and then look at the situation and find a way to make them have to lead the army of Jingzhou to fight against the New Han army.

Therefore, Liu Bei specially told the envoys sent by Liu Biao, asking them not to reveal that Liu Biao had asked him to go to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou, and asked them to go back to Xiangyang first to give an explanation to Liu Biao and the civil and military generals in Xiangyang, explaining that the relationship between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty was not shallow, and if they wanted to lead the army of Jingzhou to fight against the New Han army, they had to think of a foolproof strategy.

After sending off Liu Biao's envoy, Liu Bei invited Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others to discuss the matter.

Liu Bei did not mention that he wanted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the army to fight the Xinhan army, but only told everyone the purpose of Liu Biao's envoy this time, and asked everyone for their opinions, asking them if it was feasible to go to Xiangyang.

After hearing this, Jian Yong kept frowning.

He has followed Liu Bei for so many years, and he has come all the way, and it can really be said that there are many disasters and difficulties. Never, he followed Liu Bei, and it seemed that there would be no smooth sailing, and if happiness came too suddenly, it made him feel a little unreal.

"Lord, Jian always felt that there was fraud in this. Think about it, although the lord and Liu Biao have the status of brothers of the same clan, everyone knows that this brother of the same clan is nothing, just rely on this. Can Liu Biao hand over the power of Jingzhou lightly? Even if it's temporary, it's unlikely, right? ”

Liu Bei raised his hand, stopped Jian Yong's words, and said in a certain tone: "Mr. Jian." There is no need to doubt Liu Biao's sincerity, because Liu has confirmed from other channels that Liu Biao is indeed ill, and he has also figured out a little bit that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Biao to return to the New Han Dynasty. Therefore, Xiangyang Liu must go. ”

"Hmm...... To go is to go, but Jian has a feeling of unease, in short, the lord should not be careless. Be careful. ”

"This is natural, now, Mr. Jian, you can lead 10,000 troops and horses in this Lushan County, as long as you defend this city. There is no need to fight, I believe that no matter whether it is the Cao army or the New Han army, they will not fight here. Second brother, third brother, Mr. Sun Qian, Chen Dao. led 20,000 troops and horses, all of them went to Xiangyang. ”

"This is very good, in this way, even if Liu Biao has some tricks to disadvantage the lord, but the relevant generals and General Zhang are here, as well as General Chen Zhi and 20,000 military horses. Then Liu Biao shouldn't dare to do anything. ”

"Okay, then let's choose the sunrise!" Liu Bei didn't ask Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for their opinions again, and decided directly.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are really depressed at the moment.

Because they were all a little worried, worried that Liu Bei would send troops to attack the New Han army in order to help Liu Biao. If you really want them to lead an army to attack the New Han army. That would be tantamount to forcing them to tear their faces with Liu Bei and make things clear. Anyway, now, they only stayed by Liu Bei's side because of a little incense of righteousness, and reluctantly stayed by Liu Bei's side for the sake of that so-called loyalty. If Liu Bei wanted to force them to do what they didn't want to do, they would have to make it clear to Liu Bei, leave Liu Bei from then on, and officially return to the New Han Dynasty.

In fact, Zhang Fei had privately discussed with Guan Yu many times how to break away from Liu Bei and vote for Liu Yi.

Now, the New Han Dynasty has begun to send troops to unify the Han Dynasty, and they are still bound here by Liu Bei, and they can't participate in the blood-boiling war, Zhang Fei is a little worried, if it drags on like this, the battle will be over in the future.

Especially when he thought of their good brother Zhao Zilong commanding the army in Jizhou, Zhang Fei was envious.

However, in this era, some people in this world live for the sake of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness, abide by these creeds, and be loyal all their lives. Therefore, sometimes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't be blamed for procrastinating again and again, and not officially leaving Liu Bei, because their hearts are bound by this kind of ethereal creed, if they can't break this invisible bondage, they can only drag it on like this.

Regarding Liu Bei's statement that he would go to Xiangyang to take over the military and political power of Jingzhou from Liu Biao's hands, and Liu Bei would preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were noncommittal, and they didn't want to think too much about anything.

Of course, Guan Yu's heart actually felt a little strange, he, like Jian Yong, thought that no matter what, it was impossible for Liu Biao to hand over the military and political power in Jingzhou lightly, especially in Liu Bei's hands.

But Guan Yu really didn't want to think about it, he and Zhang Fei were instead separated from the front line and returned to the rear because Liu Bei was going to Xiangyang, so as to avoid direct battlefield confrontation with the New Han Army, which was undesirable for them.

In this way, the next day, Liu Bei led the army and horses to set off, first returning to Xinye and then to Xiangyang.

Soon, Liu Bei finally arrived in Xiangyang.

What made Liu Bei feel a little flattered was that in addition to Liu Biao, who was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, in Xiangyang City, almost all the Xiangyang celebrities and officials and generals who Liu Bei knew and could be named came to the city gate for several miles to greet Liu Bei.

Even, if Liu Bei didn't want to influence the people in Xiangyang City, the 20,000 military horses he brought could be brought into Xiangyang City.

Seeing such a situation, Liu Bei put aside the suspicion in his heart that Liu Biao would be unfavorable to him if he invited him to Xiangyang.

In particular, those who came to greet Liu Bei looked at Liu Bei as if they were seeing a savior, and their eyes were filled with a look of surprise and inexplicability.

The Xinhan Army is too terrifying, and it may really scare Liu Biao and his subordinates, so he will hope for him Liu Bei, well, it is actually his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Anyway, Liu Bei began to think about how to replace Liu Biao's former ministers after he was in power.

Everyone first welcomed Liu Bei to the Xiangyang official office, and then asked Liu Bei to meet Liu Biao on the hospital bed.

Liu Biao was naturally not sick, but he invited a doctor to put on makeup for him, and it looked like the whole person was out of shape, with two black circles under his eyes, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped.

"Brother Xuande...... You, you're coming...... But, I want to die for my brother......" Liu Biao was on the hospital bed, struggling to sit up, while talking intermittently with weakness, it looked really realistic.

Liu Bei had already observed very carefully, but he didn't see that Liu Biao was pretending.

Coupled with preconceived ideas, because he believed Ma Xiao's words, and saw that the ministers of Jingzhou were so happy about his arrival, he did not doubt whether Liu Biao was pretending to be sick at this moment.

"Brother, don't ...... Just lie down. Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward, helped Liu Biao from the maid's hand, and pressed Liu Biao back to lie down.

"It's good that you're here, it's good to come, you have a brother who presides over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of your brother, and you feel a lot more at ease as a brother......," Liu Biao said in a tone that seemed to be a little surprised.

"Well, brother, I'm afraid it's hard for my brother to be in charge. I also ask my brother to choose another sage, or else, you can ask your son to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of your brother, and my brother is willing to follow him and listen to his dispatch. Liu Bei looked stunned, pretending to shirk.

"Ahem, cough ......" Liu Biao despised Liu Bei in his heart, pretending to be out of breath, and there seemed to be a little red shadow on his pale face.

He said: "Xuande, the dog is young, how can he take on a big responsibility? Although I have many talents in Jingxiang, none of them have the courage and courage to serve the public. Xuande, you dared to fight with Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others with a small force, and dared to conquer Yuan Shu and destroy it, only Xuande can keep me safe in Jingzhou. So, please don't postpone Xuande, you must share some of it for your brother. Well, it's a coincidence that my brother is seriously ill now, so the affairs of Jingzhou can be handled by Xuande from now on. Xuande, you can preside over the overall situation in Xiangyang, and let his second and third brothers lead my Jingzhou army and take the initiative to attack Wancheng. Brother Wei has made an agreement with Cao Cao, as long as our army takes the initiative to attack, Cao's army will send troops from Xiangcheng, and together with our army, attack Liu Yi together, and after capturing Wancheng, our two armies will directly attack Luoyang. ”

Although Liu Biao said that it was built yì, it was tantamount to an order, if Liu Bei did not accept what Liu Biao was talking about, then Liu Bei could not really take over the power of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao.

Liu Bei didn't hesitate for a moment, and agreed.
