Watching the ferry getting farther and farther away, Liu Bei's mood obviously became more and more depressed. Cao Jun was like a sharp sword on his neck, and now he fled from Xinye, but this is just a delay in the time when the sword is seen on his neck, and the soldiers of Jingzhou can't stop Cao Jun at all, and it won't be long before the Cao Jun army will reappear in front of him. When that time comes, how should he deal with Cao's offensive?

When Zhuge Liang is there, Liu Bei really won't be very worried. After all, Zhuge Liang has advice for himself, and he can share a lot of sorrow for himself. But now, he still needs to worry about Zhuge Liang's comfort, which makes Liu Bei even more worried. Moreover, Zhuge is the mastermind who seeks to capture Jingzhou, although Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei all the plans, but there are still many debatable points for this plan to be implemented. Without Zhuge Liang here, Liu Bei was very worried.

Liu Bei was very worried about Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was also worried about Liu Bei. Cao Jun's momentum is huge, and Zhuge Liang has also heard that Liu Bei has fallen into the encirclement of Cao Jun, and now Liu Bei's life and death are uncertain, Zhuge Liang obviously does not know how to solve this crisis situation in front of him.

Now Zhuge Liang is only a hundred people around him, and because he is wearing Cao Jun's uniform, Cao Jun is not very embarrassed by Zhuge Liang's nearly 100 people. However, for Liu Bei being surrounded by Cao's army, Zhuge Liang's more than 100 people obviously did not play any role. Because of the news that Zhuge Liang learned, tens of thousands of troops of the Cao army surrounded Liu Bei and his party, and it was obviously extremely difficult to get out of the encirclement of the Cao army. Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops are not vegetarians, and it is very difficult to break through.

Zhuge Liang has always looked for an opportunity to contact Liu Bei, who was surrounded by Cao Jun, but Cao Jun's encirclement of Liu Bei is not leaky, and Zhuge Liang is afraid that Liu Bei has not been saved, and he is under siege, which also makes him dare not rashly contact Liu Bei, after all, although he is dressed in Cao Jun's clothes, he is not Cao Jun after all.

On the night of the thick fog that day, Zhuge Liang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send someone to contact Liu Bei. However, the fog was too dense, and the scouts sent out also lost their way and finally returned in vain. However, what made Zhuge Liang feel relieved was that the lord was indeed the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he was able to take advantage of the chaos to break through.

Now that the lord has escaped from the encirclement of the Cao army, it is time to think about his own safety. After the lord broke away from the encirclement of Cao's army, he was bound to go towards the ferry agreed with Liu Qi. And now that I want to leave, I'm afraid I need to use this method. After all, the wide surface of the Yangtze River blocks all the way, if there is no way to cross the river, then it will be difficult for him to escape the layers of Cao Jun's encirclement of him.

I thought that the journey to the ferry would be very difficult, but Zhuge Liang obviously didn't expect that Cao Jun had no intention of pursuing Liu Bei at all. Instead of advancing towards the ferry, Cao's army went the opposite way, gathering in the direction of Jingzhou, and it was clear that Cao's army was planning a major battle.

And at this moment, Jingzhou is also boiling, and the reason why this is the case is because of the attack of the Cao army. More than 100,000 soldiers of the Cao army were thinking about Jingzhou attacking. Liu Bei of Xinye City did not play any role at all, and in the face of the tens of thousands of Cao army, Liu Bei chose to retreat as soon as possible.

Regarding Liu Bei's actions, although some people think that this matter is quite shameful, many people think that this matter is a helpless move. Cao's army is tens of thousands of troops, and Liu Bei is only four or five thousand people, with one enemy and ten, who has such great courage. To be sure, many of the generals in Jingzhou did not have the courage.

In addition to the upcoming attack of Cao Jun, another very important thing is Liu Biao's health. It can be said that Liu Biao has reached the point of being terminally ill, and now except for the faint breathing that proves that Liu Biao is still in the world, Liu Biao in other places seems to have no characteristics that a living person should have.

Everyone knows that Liu Biao is afraid that he will die soon. After Liu Biao's death, someone will inevitably succeed Liu Biao and lead Jingzhou. For the selection of this person, there is obviously a consensus within Jingzhou. Whether it was Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou, or the strategist Kuai Yue Kuai Liang and others, they all decided to support the second son Liu Cong to take over.

However, Jingzhou is not completely under the control of Cai Mao Kuailiang and others, and Liu Biao still has his own henchmen. And not all of these people are completely obedient to Cai Mao Kuailiang and others, and these people believe that Liu Qi is the eldest son. If Liu Biao is a body, it is natural that his eldest son Liu Qi will take over as the pastor of Jingzhou.

The reason why these people say this is because Liu Qi has governed Jiangxia in an orderly manner. You must know that Jiangxia is a place of long-term war. The Sun family, who occupies the six counties of Jiangdong, has always been paying attention to Jiang Xia, and they have always had the idea of taking Jiang Xia for themselves. Therefore, if you want to live in Jiangxia for a long time, you do need a certain amount of strength and ability. Since Liu Qi has such ability, if he is allowed to take charge of Jingzhou, Jingzhou will inevitably usher in a new atmosphere.

Helplessly, the people who supported Liu Qi really didn't have much strength, and most of the soldiers in the Jingzhou army directly or indirectly obeyed Cai Mao's orders. With such a heavy power in their hands, Cai Mao Kuailiang and others really don't need to worry too much about the feelings of others. But things will definitely not be as simple as imagined, what Cai Mao Kuailiang and others need is a peaceful Jingzhou, only in this way can Cai Mao Kuailiang and others implement the next plan.

Jingzhou already knew that the Cao army was about to attack, and for the powerful Cao army, Cai Mao really had no intention of resisting. Whether it is Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue, they are all out-and-out children of the family, so they are much more complicated than ordinary generals think.

If he resists, then it means that the two largest families in Jingzhou will be enemies of Cao Jun. Cao Jun's treatment of the rebellious family was quite cruel, and any family that dared to resist Cao Jun was killed by Cao Jun's army. Therefore, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others don't want the Cai family and the Kuai family to end up in the same situation.

For the sake of the family, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue Dingren joined Cao Jun long ago. After all, he is not Liu Biao, and he is not the lord of Jingzhou. The children of the family should focus on the survival and growth of the family, as long as the family is proud to preserve and grow, everything else can be given up by themselves.

Cao Cao's personality, Cai Mao and others all understand, and Cao Cao's love for talents is known to everyone in the world. And it is precisely for this reason that Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others have the determination to vote for Cao. After all, they know. If he took the initiative to vote for Cao, Cao Cao would definitely not be embarrassed for himself. Perhaps, he can still keep his position as the governor of the capital. Although Cao Jun may not continue to let himself master so many soldiers, Cai Mao knows that Cao Jun cannot do without him.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that the soldiers of Cao Jun are all northerners, Cai Mao is sure that he will continue to hold power. Because many people in the north do not know the nature of water, and if Cao Jun wants to continue to attack Sun Quan in Jiangdong, then he must rely on the help of Jingzhou Water Division. Although Jingzhou's footsteps are weak, Jingzhou's naval army is quite strong. After all, Jingzhou was born with water, and Jingzhou also had a considerable enemy, that is, the Sun family in Jiandong.

Liu Biao and the Jiangdong Sun clan fought a lot, which also made Jingzhou's naval army make great progress. In addition, Jingzhou is already rich, and neither the ships nor the equipment can be compared to the Jiangdong Sun clan. Therefore, if you want to attack Jiangdong, without the help of the Jingzhou naval army, Cao's army will inevitably be unable to move an inch.

Of course, all of this is just an idea, and now that Liu Biao still has a breath, then Cai Mao and others' strategies cannot be realized. After all, although he is in power, Cai Mao is a courtier after all. If the Cao army surrenders at this moment, the die-hard people under Liu Biaohui will inevitably resist desperately.

At that time, civil strife was bound to occur in Jingzhou. This is not what Cai Mao wants to see, after all, the Cai family still needs to survive in Jingzhou, and everything in the Cai family is also in Jingzhou. If most of Jingzhou rebelled, it would have a fatal impact on the family.

As for the countermeasures, Kuai Yue and others had already thought about it, and after Liu Biao's death, the second son, Liu Cong, took over Jingzhou. When the time comes, Liu Cong will put forward the idea of joining Cao Jun, so that many people's mouths can be blocked. After all, this was the idea of the Lord of Jingzhou, and it had little to do with him.

As for Liu Cong, Cai Mao didn't take this nephew in his eyes at all. If it weren't for his own support, Liu Cong would have the possibility of being the lord of Jingzhou, so Liu Cong was obedient to Cai Mao, Cai Mao made him want to go east, and Liu Cong categorically didn't care about going west.

If he can make Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou, he naturally has a way to take down Liu Cong's title of the lord of Jingzhou. Although Liu Cong is his nephew, he is still an outsider.

With Cai Mao's shrewdness, he obviously knew that if Liu Cong surrendered, Cao Jun's treatment of him would obviously not be much better. After all, Liu Cong is different from himself, although Liu Cong is just a puppet, he is the titular lord of Jingzhou after all. For such a person, how can there be no one to defend him.

Cai Mao can't deny that this strategy is indeed a bit unkind. After all, this person is his nephew, and he can be regarded as his own person, so it is really not good to calculate his own people like this. But it is undeniable that although Liu Cong is his nephew, he is surnamed Liu after all, not Cai. This also means that Liu Cong is not a member of the Cai clan. When faced with the moment of family survival, it is naturally necessary to give up some family affection.

As Cao's army approached, Cai Mao was obviously a little restless. Although Liu Biao is terminally ill, he has not swallowed his breath, and he doesn't know what he is insisting on.

If Liu Biao does not die, Cai Mao will not be able to carry out his plan. And the Cao army is getting closer and closer, and he is constantly shrinking the defense line to avoid fighting with the Cao army. But this is not a long-term solution. If Cao Jun's soldiers are in the city, and Liu Biao still does not die, then there is no chance of recovery. Thinking of this, Cai Mao's brows furrowed tightly.
