On June 19 in the summer, the sun was rising and the breeze was blowing, and the huge Xiangyang City was already empty of thousands of alleys, and the people poured out of the city to the north gate.

They scrambled to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of Xu Shu, the envoy of the Huafei Army, who could make General Zhennan, Cheng Wuhou, Jingzhou Mu, Liu Biao, and personally lead the officials out of the city to greet them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It turned out that yesterday, when Liu Biao was helplessly preparing to act according to Kuai Liang's strategy after listening to Kuai Liang's words, there was a sudden urgent report from a cronie shouting in.

"Taishi Ci's soldiers are in the north of Nanxiang, but the north of Danshui County immediately stopped garrisoning, and sent a team of hundreds of messengers, led by a tun chief, to beat horses and go straight to Xiangyang City."

When Liu Biao heard this information, he was suddenly surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked people to welcome Tai Shici's envoy into the city to see him.

Liu Biao learned from the careful questioning of politeness that Tai Shici, a sentimental person, was not a soldier in Nanyang at all, but a messenger who led the army to escort Hua Fei - Guanzhong Don't drive Xu Shu and came to Jingzhou.

After listening to the envoy's story, Liu Biao was so angry in his heart that he didn't even do what his siblings wanted, so he scolded in his heart at that time.

"Xu Shu's erector! If you come to make an envoy, you can come and send an envoy, but you came with 15,000 fucking cavalry, what the hell is going on?

Look at the body that scares this body - it's wet inside and out! If this is reasonable, it will be said that it is because the weather is too hot, and the stinky sweat of this body is hot.

If you don't know how to see it, then you can't think that this is just fished out of the water? ”

Thinking of this, he could not hold back the anger in his heart and glared angrily at the chief who came to report: "Since you are an envoy, why do you bring so many large armies? ”

"Returning to the words of Wu Hou," Tun Chang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My lord Hua Fei thinks that since your subordinates dare to attack the martial arts pass without an order, then it means that your subordinates are not very obedient.

And our army's Lord Xu Shu has always been the right-hand man of my lord Hua Fei, and he is about to become the pastor of Liangzhou, so his identity is very noble.

Helplessly, Lord Xu because he had studied in Jingzhou in his early years, and he often thought about Jingzhou, his second hometown, this time he was about to go north to Liangzhou to take up his post, and he wanted to return to Jingzhou.

Therefore, I asked my lord many times, but my lord had no choice but to agree to let him come, and in order to prevent someone from plotting against Lord Xu to destroy the alliance between your and our armies, my lord specially ordered General Taishi, who happened to be in Wuguan, to escort Lord Xu to Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment, what else was he right? People are not wrong at all, your own subordinates can't manage it well, and you don't let people send troops to escort them, how can you drop?

Liu Biao was stunned, and Kuai Liangzai was thinking because he couldn't figure out what Hua Fei's intentions were, and his brows were locked early. Cai Mao was worried about his second sister on the side.

"My poor second sister, for the sake of the family, you married such an old guy who is almost Alzheimer's, it is a terrible crime! Everyone said that: That Huafei sent Xu Shu to Jingxiang to rebuild the old one because Zhang Subing violated the military pass and destroyed the alliance.

You said that you are an old thing, when people didn't come, you wanted to send an envoy to negotiate peace, but you were afraid that people wouldn't agree, but now that people are coming, you don't talk with a shelf, if you provoke people, how can you get it? ”

Thinking of this, Cai Mao bared his teeth and looked at Liu Biao is crazy eyes, he really didn't want to start a war with Hua Fei, because if this was a fight, whether he won or lost, Jingzhou would be greatly traumatized after all.

Then Liu Biao was furious, and Hugh said that Zhang Su, who was too guarded by Nanyang, could not be guarded, and his own glory and wealth might not be able to be protected.

Helplessly, Liu Biao acted as if he didn't see his eyes, so he just left others aside and continued to send him in a daze, Cai Mao saw that the situation was not good, so he had to hurry out of the queue.

"Lord, since Nan Zheng Hou - Hua Hou Ye is magnanimous, regardless of the past suspicions, he sent people to renew the old good, and came to make Xu Shu's identity as the pastor of a state, so should we welcome each other with a great gift?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Liu Biao said in a shocked voice, "De Jue is reasonable, to make the same as Ben Hou as the shepherd of the same state, the status of dignity is not slack, it is time to welcome each other with a big gift, so as not to lose the courtesy of my Jingzhou." ”

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and was about to give the order to prepare to meet the envoy, but Kuai Liang was worried and hurriedly rushed out of the column and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, Xu Zhijun has many guards and up to 15,000 horsemen, if all of them enter Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will be very inconvenient.

And the envoy Xu came from afar, the journey was difficult all the way, and he was very tired when he thought about it, so it was better to fake this way, and the fake way was ......"

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this, after all, he was a knowledgeable person who could still hear the strings and songs and know the elegant meaning, and when he heard Kuai Liang's words, he was shocked and sweated.

Kuai Liang bit the word "false way" very hard and mentioned it repeatedly, how could he not know that what Kuai Liang wanted to remind him was the four words "false way".

If he didn't notice it for a while and let Xu Shu lead 15,000 cavalry to Xiangyang, it would be a really big deal, a little bad!

He didn't forget Hua Fei back then, it was because he sent someone to capture the thief and capture the king first to capture Liu Zhang in Yizhou, so that he could pacify the country of Tianfu, which is known as the danger of mountains and rivers in one fell swoop.

If Xu Shu led the army to him and his identity was noble, he would inevitably have to go out of the city to greet him in person.

At that time, if they do it again, then Taishi Ci is unstoppable and the enemy is elite, as long as one of them is careless, where can he go up to cry out for injustice?

Thinking of this, Liu Biao opened his mouth in shock and was about to refuse Xu Shu's visit, the gentleman is still not standing under the dangerous wall, let alone Liu Biao, who is the governor of the state?

But after hearing Kuai Liang squeaking over there for a long time, he said in a loud voice: "Oh, there is Han water in the north of Xiangyang that can lead directly to Nanxiang, why don't my lord let General Wen Ping lead 3,000 water troops, and follow the Han River north to meet the envoy.

In this way, you can take a boat down without the hard work of the journey, and secondly, it is difficult for idlers to approach when you take the waterway, and it is less likely to have accidents. ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as the other party's army could not break through to Xiangyang, then why should he be afraid? At that moment, Nai smiled and nodded at Kuai Liang and said, "If it weren't for what Zirou said, Ben Hou would have treated the distinguished guests slowly." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the thoughtful Cai Mao to the side and called loudly: "De Jue, Zhongye listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Cai Mao, who woke up when she heard the sound, hurriedly hugged her fists with Wen Ping.

Liu Biao ordered: "De Jue can follow what Kuai Zirou said, quickly transfer three thousand elite sailors to General Wen to lead, and immediately go north to welcome the distinguished guests to Xiangyang, Zhongye, you don't have to be careful along the way to escort the distinguished guests, don't lose anything!" ”

"The last general commands!" Cai Mao and Wen Ping loudly promised to take the order and leave.

Liu Biao also ordered Kuai Liang and the officials of Jingxiang to prepare separately to welcome the envoy, asking that there should be no need to sprinkle the road with clear water, pave the road with loess, burn incense to drive the crowd, and welcome the guests, in short, it is necessary to welcome the arrival of the Huafei envoy in the most grand and enthusiastic way.

Kuai Liang and others all responded one by one, and after Liu Biao gave the instructions properly, he rewarded the tun chief who came to report and encouraged him, and let people reward him with gold and silver to comfort his hard work, so he invited the tun chief who came to report to go back to Xu Shu.

The chief ran away and gave a letter, and he received the reward of the old man, and he left happily.

Although Liu Biao said that he gave people a lot of money, but after all, it was a trivial matter, and he didn't take it to heart, not to mention that he was happy because he didn't have to worry about Jingzhou going to war.

As for most of the officials in Jingzhou, they are also the same people, so they are all energetic in the big things to welcome the envoys, only Kuai Yue saw that his brother was puzzled, and couldn't help but be puzzled and whispered to his brother Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang frowned and glanced at his brother, shook his head and sighed: "It stands to reason that Hua Fei is generous, and he sent Xu Shu to renew the alliance in order to protect the alliance in the southeast, which is an extremely normal thing.

But I don't know why, but I always feel that something doesn't seem right, but I don't know what's wrong? ”

Kuai Yue was stunned when he heard this, but he heard Kuai Liang in the warm breeze and said: "But no matter what Hua Fei's plans are, since he sent Xu Shu here, then I only need to inform the lord to invite a few people to come to the town, and I can sit back and relax!" (To be continued.) )
