Liu Bei nodded slowly and said: "Yes, there are Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north of Qingzhou, and Cao Cao in the south. ”

Zhang Fei said loudly: "What are you going to do in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's wife may not be able to accommodate his brother?" ”

Liu Bei frowned instantly, and he was a little confused about Zhang Feishi.

Guan Yu said: "Yi Dexiu has to say more, since my brother is going to Jingzhou, he naturally has a brother's reason!" ”

Zhang Fei let out a muffled sound, raised his neck and took a sip of wine, and stopped talking.

Liu Bei asked Jian Yong again, "How is the Xianhe Guanjing Clan?" ”

Jian Yong's face turned solemn, and he said: "The Jingzhou Shi clan did not say a word on this matter, and from the bottom of it, although the Kuai, Cai, Zhang and other clans did not object to Liu Jingzhou's desire to entrust the lord with the affairs of a county, they did not welcome the lord very much. ”

Liu Bei's brows suddenly furrowed, and he was silent.

Jian Yong said again: "You don't have to take it to heart when the lord arrives, after all, this is just some of the appearances seen below, since the Jingzhou Shi clan has no objection to Liu Jingzhou's acceptance of the lord, there is still a chance." When you arrive in Jingzhou, you can operate slowly! ”

Liu Bei muttered: "That's all!" ”

After a pause, he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "What do the second brother and third brother think?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Yu is on the orders of my brother!" ”

Zhang Fei also said in a muffled voice: "Where the elder brother wants to go, the younger brother and the elder brother will go together!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "That's it, Yun Chang and Yide will go and count the soldiers and horses." Take your family and leave tomorrow! ”

Care and Zhang Fei should be down. Immediately went to the hour to the soldiers.

Liu Bei discussed some details with Jian Yong and inquired about some things about Jingzhou. only then did he send Jian Yong to rest.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the plain and went south to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

Tiankai, the Qingzhou assassin appointed by Gongsun Zhan, got the news, and hurriedly sent someone to chase after him, asking Liu Bei where he wanted to go, and he wanted to take Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers and horses, but he was beaten by Zhang Fei and driven away directly.

Tian Kai's face turned pale when he heard the report, and he scolded Liu Bei for being ungrateful.

Wait until more than half a month later, when Gongsun Chan received the news. was also angry.

Ruyin, Cao Cao's military camp.

"Lord!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Cao Cao: "Dongjun urgent!" ”

"East County Urgent?"

Cao Cao's face changed, and he said, "What happened in Dongjun?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Bei led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and wanted to take advantage of the road to Jingzhou!" ”

"Liu Bei?"

Cao Cao was stunned, "What is Liu Bei doing in Jingzhou?" ”

Cheng Yu replied: "Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, but he was depressed in the plains for several years, and he did nothing because he could not get the support of the Qingzhou scholars, so he led the army south. It is estimated that he wants to take refuge in Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao! ”

"Oh!"

Cao Cao let out a long 'oh' sound, and his little eyes immediately rolled

Cheng Yu said in a condensed voice: "Lord, if Liu Bei goes to Jingzhou, he will go to Yingchuan Road." Although this person is not a concern, the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under him have the courage to be unstoppable, if they can't be used by the lord. It's a pity. When Liu Beijun arrives in Yingchuan, the lord can order someone to invite him. If Liu Bei is willing to come, then 3,000 soldiers and horses can be used by the lord. ”

Cao Cao said: "What if Liu Bei doesn't come? ”

Cheng Yu said: "No matter if Liu Bei is too late. There's nothing to lose by giving it a try! ”

Cao Cao said happily: "Good, just follow Zhongde's words." By the way, how is Bonghyo's condition? ”

Cheng Yu replied: "The fever has subsided, Lang Zhong said that you can go to the ground after half a month of recuperation."

Cao Cao sighed and said, "The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it, why should they not hesitate to be filial piety!" This thing in the army is gone, Feng Xiao is planning for me, and there is no taste for eating, go, go and see Feng Xiao! ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he followed.

In any case, Cao Cao can care about his subordinates from the bottom of his heart, and he is indeed a good lord.

Chen Liu, Liu Bei led the army just past Chen Liu, and was intercepted by Cao Cao's envoys.

"Oh, Lord Cao Cao wants to prepare for the assassination of Yuzhou?"

When Liu Bei heard the conditions of Cao Cao's solicitation, he was immediately surprised, and he couldn't help but be moved.

"Exactly!"

Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "It is to make the monarch loyal to the country, my lord has long wanted to tie up with the monarch, and now the monarch leads the army south, my lord often says, if you can join the great cause with the monarch, it is really a good thing, so I ordered to invite the envoy to Xuchang for a while." ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei hesitated, then looked at Jian Yong.

Jian Yongce immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Lord, Cao Cao is afraid that he has bad intentions!" ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, and soon understood, although he didn't know what Cao Cao's purpose was, but if he really went to Xuchang and wanted to leave, it would not be so easy, and immediately said to Cheng Yu: "Lord Cao Cao is kind, Beixin has received it, Ranbei has already agreed with Liu Jingzhou, and he doesn't dare to miss the schedule. ”

"This ......"

Cheng Yu was willing to do so, and said: "Let Jun He stop thinking about it, my lord is willing to wait for the ...... with the false position of Yuzhou Assassin History."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and immediately stepped forward and shouted.

"Who are you?"

Cheng Yu's face was displeased, but his eyes were on Liu Bei.

More than a dozen soldiers behind him were even more furious, and their hands pressed on the hilt of their knives.

"Winged stand down!"

Liu Bei hurriedly drank Yide, and said to Cheng Yu again and again: "Sir, don't blame, this is the third brother Zhang Fei, if there is any offense, please forgive me, and I will compensate for my brother!" ”

"Brother!"

Zhang Fei shouted, and he had to tell the difference.

"Shut up!"

Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Fei.

Cheng Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "It turned out to be General Zhang Fei, who was rude!" ”

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, even if there was fire, it couldn't be released.

Liu Bei didn't dare to delay, so in order to avoid a long night of dreams, he hurriedly said goodbye to Cheng Yu, and the fire rate army went south.

Cheng Yu sighed, and saw Liu Bei go away, so he had to go back to Ruyin to see Cao Cao, Liu Bei has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not possible to be rude, and now he is fighting against Yuan Shu, it is really not appropriate to order another branch and build a strong enemy.

The remnant sun is slanting westward, and the sunset is like fire.

At the south gate of Wancheng, Liu Biao got off the horse, and climbed the head of Wancheng City accompanied by Kuai Yue, Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other literary and military personnel, raised his eyes and looked at the four directions, and he was unconsciously high-spirited, and his pride was stirring in his chest.

Nanyang is the land of Guangwu Zhongxing, and is also known as the land of Longxing.

Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang has been the largest county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of more than 2 million, rich and rich people.

The most important thing is that Nanyang is rich in refined iron, and it is the place where Dahan produces the most iron.

Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he has been angry about Yuan Shu's occupation of Nanyang, and has always wanted to take back Nanyang, only because Yuan Shu is so powerful that he did not dare to act rashly, Cao Cao and Sun Jian joined forces to attack Yuan Shu, which gave Liu Biao a golden opportunity.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Biao is not a heroic lord who can expand his territory, and he really has the name of the Eight Horses.

If it were a normal time, Liu Biao would definitely not want to start a war with the strong Yuan Shu.

However, Cao Cao and Sun Jian joined forces to attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was surrounded by enemies, Gu Dong couldn't take care of the west, Liu Biaocai was persuaded by Kuai Yue and others, made up his mind, and took the opportunity to order the general Huang Zu to lead the troops to attack Nanyang.

This is also thanks to Kuaiyue's analysis of the situation.

Yue Kuai and others believe that Cao Cao and Sun Jian joined forces to attack Yuan Shu, and they will definitely not give up if they don't cripple Yuan Shu, Cao Cao wants Yuzhou, Sun Jian wants Jiangdong, and these two people are not good at stubble, Yuan Shu is very likely to suffer.

It was on the basis of this analysis that Liu Biao dared to make up his mind to send troops.

If he could not see the hope of victory, Liu Biao would have absolutely impossible to send troops.

And the facts have also proved that the rebellion of Kuai Yue and others is an opponent.

Yuan Shu suffered a big loss in the hands of Cao Cao, not only lost Yuzhou, but also lost Danyang County, and the hand that had just reached into Jiangdong was cut off by Sun Jian. Yuzhou is lost, and Yuan Shu naturally can't occupy Nanyang anymore.

As early as after Yuan Shu was driven to Huainan by Cao Cao, he withdrew Nanyang's soldiers and horses.

Huang Zu has been stationed in Nanyang for several months, but Liu Biao has never come.

It was not until recently that the situation in Nanyang was completely stabilized, and a group of henchmen came to declare sovereignty.

"Lord, the plain minister Liu Bei's army is twenty miles away!"

At this moment, a small colonel hurried up to the top of the city, reaching the ground on one knee.

"Oh, Xuande has arrived?"

Liu Biao suddenly perked up and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet him!" (To be continued......)
