Zhuge Rong's wisdom once again impressed Fang Shao, but this time, Fang Shao didn't have the heart to praise it, to the joy of the Pomeranians, he was only slightly surprised, so he nodded and said: "Miss guessed right, the lord has been rewarded, Cao Ying has raised the army of the country to the south, and Mr. is still discussing countermeasures with the lord." By the way, miss, you and the old lady should also prepare in advance, don't be in a hurry when the time comes. ”

Huang Yueying frowned, and said: "Cao Jun came so quickly, but in my opinion, we don't have to be too nervous, it is not that no one has committed Jingzhou in the past, although Cao Jun is prosperous, but Jingzhou also has more than 100,000 people with armor, so it will not be defeated so quickly." ”

Zhuge Rong shook her head and said: "Sister-in-law, this time is very different from the past, I heard that Liu Jingzhou is not lightly ill, according to the inability to preside over the overall situation, and the battle between Liu Qi and Liu Cong has drawn a rift in Jingzhou, such a situation, how can we deal with Cao Ying, who came to sweep away Yuan Shao's remaining power." ”

With Zhuge Rong's daughter, she is still young, and she can have this kind of knowledge, which is really good.

Fang Shao secretly praised, but also said: "What Miss said is extremely true, Cao Ying is here to dominate the world this time, and he is determined to win Jingzhou, there is no danger to defend north of the Han River, and he cannot resist the iron cavalry of the Cao army, only by retreating to the south and relying on the Jiang Han water network can he resist." ”

After listening to the analysis of these two juniors, Huang Yueying realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, so she hurriedly ordered the people to clean up. And Zhuge Rong was also in a hurry to return to her home to prepare for the retreat to the south, so Huang Yueying did not leave her, and ordered Fang Shao to send her back to Xiangyang quickly.

Along the way, Zhuge Rong didn't say a word, Fang Shao could see that under that pure and wise face, there was actually a nervous heart, sometimes people, the smarter they are, the more they know, the heavier they are.

The carriage entered Xiangyang City, a prosperous city in Jingzhou, still full of traffic, pedestrians and traders had their own pleasures, and from the serene faces, there was not a trace of fear of the imminent war.

Perhaps, as the lowest level, they can only know at the last moment that the iron knights from the north are about to step on their flesh and blood.

The outside of the car was bustling, but the car seemed a little lonely.

After passing through several lively streets, and finally arrived at Zhuge Xuan's Mansion, Fang Shao helped Zhuge Rong get out of the car, she looked up at her, and turned around and left with a sullen mood.

"Miss!" Just as Zhuge Rong was about to walk into the door, Fang Shao suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

Zhuge Rong took a look and turned around, but what she saw was a calm and calm face.

After being silent for a moment, Fang Shao said with a smile: "Miss, as long as Fang Shao has a breath of air, he will never let Miss have anything to do." ”

Hearing this, seeing such a real face, Zhuge Rong suddenly felt at ease, so she smiled, waved her hand lightly to him, and then turned around, her steps were light, and she hummed an unknown mountain song in her mouth.

"This is like Zhuge Rong." Fang Shao jumped into the car with a smile and rode his horse towards Fancheng.

At this time, in General Zuo's Mansion, the atmosphere was even more solemn.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, staring at the situation map of Cao Ying's southward movement spread on the desk, and a certain anxiety flashed between his eyebrows.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Cao Jun has already gone south, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Fei was the first to shout: "Brother, what are the Cao thieves afraid of, please give me the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, let me go back to Xinye to garrison, and kill the Cao thieves and never return." ”

Liu Bei said: "I know that you are wise and brave, but this time it is not as good as before, Cao Jun more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are fierce, not to mention that we have more than 1000 soldiers and horses, even the soldiers of Jingzhou may not be able to resist." ”

At this time, Guan Yu said: "Brother, the Cao army is strong in the field of cavalry, but now that our naval army has been completed, we only need to rely on the Han Shui to defend and stick to the front line of Xiangfan. ”

Xu Shu also said: "What General Guan said is reasonable, my lord, for the sake of today's plan, we must quickly contact Liu Jingzhou and urge him to transfer the Jingzhou land and water army to deploy on the front line of Xiangfan, after all, our troops are limited, and against the Cao army, we must rely on the Jingzhou army is the best policy." ”

Xu Shu's words, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others all agreed.

Liu Bei turned to Zhuge Liang, who had been shaking his fan silently, and asked, "Strategist, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "The situation in Xiangyang is very complicated, I'm afraid that it won't be as you wish, but for today's plan, I can only ask the lord to go to see Liu Jingsheng first." ”

The discussion was over, and Liu Bei hurriedly rode to Xiangyang.

It was obvious that these high-level people in Jingzhou had received the news of Cao's army's southern invasion earlier than those ordinary people outside, and this news had obviously frightened these powerful people who had long been accustomed to sitting and talking leisurely.

Liu Bei disdained to talk nonsense with these sitting guests, and after entering the mansion, he had to greet the officials gathered in the front hall, and went straight to the back hall to see Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Biao was a different person than the last time he saw him, the whole person was pale like a corpse that had been in the coffin for a long time, his breath came and went, lying on the couch and shivering, his eyes were staring at the ceiling blankly, and the saliva that flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time was unaware.

It seems that the bad news of Cao Jun's sudden southward movement is like adding insult to injury, which makes Liu Biao, who was already sick and weak, fall into a dying situation.

When Liu Bei entered the inner room and saw Liu Biao like this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and an ominous premonition could not be restrained.

"Brother, brother......" Liu Bei stepped forward and called Liu Biao softly.

After screaming several times, Liu Biao, who was gradually demented, finally began to react, he twisted his neck with difficulty, turned his head with difficulty, and when he saw Liu Bei, Mu Ne's eyes couldn't help but swell a little angry.

"Virtuous ...... Xian ......" Liu Biao wanted to call him a virtuous brother, but helplessly, his tongue seemed to be filled with anesthetic, and he squirmed with difficulty but couldn't squeak out the two simple words, and in the end, he could only stretch out a dry hand to Liu Bei tremblingly.

Liu Bei clenched his hand, some tears appeared in his eyes, and said, "Brother, the Cao army has invaded Jingzhou in the south, and I ask my brother to order Bei to lead the Jingzhou army to resist the Cao army." ”

Liu Bei was taking the initiative to ask for help, his tone was so urgent, as if he was afraid that he would swallow his breath before he could finish Liu Biao, and this time, it was not only for Liu Biao, but also for his own life and death.

"I ...... I ......" Liu Biao was eager to say something, but after struggling a few times, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

Liu Bei was shocked and shouted urgently: "Brother! Brother! Come on, the state pastor has fainted. ”
