Liu Biao then said: "I am also difficult to ride a tiger now, and I am very conflicted in my heart, so I summoned all of you to come to discuss overnight!" Let me give you an idea! ”

After hearing this, Cai Mao said categorically: "What's the contradiction in this! In my opinion, if you don't do anything, you just don't care about it, just don't think about it, and forget about the holy decree, I don't believe that they can still send troops to attack Xiangyang? ”

"General Cai Mao is right! The lord finally embraced this Jingzhou, how could he give it up with this holy decree? Kuai Yue continued.

After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "I am a member of the Han family, if the son issues an edict today, can I be indifferent to this?" Isn't this laughed at by the world? ”

"I have understood the meaning of the lord, in fact, the lord does not want to hand over the military power, but because of his Han clan relatives, I am afraid that the face will not be able to pass, this matter is easy to do, since the saint let the lord bus send troops to bow down to the minister, the lord can act as called, you can reply to the Son of Heaven to say that he is the world, willing to be a minister, as for the surrender of military power, the lord only needs to say that he is a member of the Han family, as a person surnamed Liu, how can he not think about the community, I am a minister of the Han Dynasty and a member of the Han family, so guarding Jingzhou is to guard for His Majesty, the family and the country, As the royal family guarding the territory, what else can His Majesty not worry about? My territory is the territory of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can come and raise troops at any time! Kuai Liang came up with a plan.

After hearing this, Liu Biao stroked his beard and said, "Zirou's plan is very good!" This not only retains my status but also does not lose the face of the Son of Heaven, I wonder what will happen to the Son of Heaven after reading it? ”

"No matter what he does, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood the earth, and he will plan it. If they take us to the army, we will give him back! According to this strategy, the lord will be considered a soldier who will surrender without a fight this time! Cai Mao continued.

Liu Biao nodded, and then according to Kuai Liang's strategy, he quickly wrote a reply to Emperor Xian

However, it was said that Yuan Shu had moved to Nanyang since the defeat of the coalition army last time, and he had come to support Nanyang. There are 37 cities and 500,000 households in this Nanyang. A total population of more than 2.4 million, whether it is agriculture, handicrafts or commerce are very developed, is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Yuan Shu received the edict of the emperor, very shocked, can not help but think: this must be the trick of the Guan Yu envoy, he killed Dong Zhuo and then entrenched in Luoyang, in the name of loyalty to the monarch and protection of the country, became a general. This time, he asked the Son of Heaven to hand over their military power and surrender their heads, which was a plan to take the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Yuan Shu quickly understood the purpose of this.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but wonder: The Son of Heaven is young, and the military power is in the hands of Guan Yu, if he hands over the military power, he will also find a wide chip for Guan Yu, and he will cheapen Guan Yu's kid for nothing, he finally has so many soldiers and horses, what else can he do if he hands it over? How is it better to be a slave than to be a king? When today's group of heroes compete for deer, and the heroes rise together, it is not easy for me to get a piece of the world among so many heroes, but I have to give it for nothing. How can you give it? However, Yuan Shu thought again, this time it was an edict from the Son of Heaven, and if he didn't follow Guan Yu, he would definitely use this as an excuse to raise a teacher and ask for guilt. Guan Yu now sits in Luoyang, with strong soldiers and many generals. Guan Yu is even more brave than 10,000 people, if he really raises troops to crusade against himself. How is he his opponent? The alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads was not his opponent before, so how could he compete with him if he was unable to support himself? Besides, Nanyang is so close to Luoyang, if Guan Yu wants to raise troops to fight against him, how can he resist the enemy? Guan Yu is so powerful, this pressure has to make him re-examine.

Yuan Shu also fell into a difficult situation, he found his adviser Yang Hong to discuss, Yuan Shu will sacrifice the emperor's holy decree and his own confusion to Yang Hong, Yang Hong heard and said: "This plan can not be described as not poisonous!" But the lord doesn't have to worry first, since the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, there must be more than one lord, and he will definitely send an edict to all the princes of the world, when the princes are competing for the deer, the princes are rising, so many princes have different ideas, and the plans in their hearts can't help but be the same, the general is embarrassed and they are also embarrassed, the general should not be in a hurry about this matter, first see how the other princes do it is not too late, see how they decide, if there are those who do not follow, the lord will make a decision again is not late, as the saying goes, "the law does not blame the public", if there are many rebels among the princes, He Luoyang is not easy to decide, no matter how powerful Guan Yu is, he has to consider the power of this, so don't be busy replying first, wait and see! As long as the lord doesn't reply to him, Guan Yu will definitely not attack rashly before receiving a reply! ”

"What Yang Changshi said is reasonable, just do as you say, let's observe and observe first!" Yuan Shu then decided. After Yuan Shu made up his mind, he didn't reply to Luoyang and began to wait and see

But said that Emperor Xian soon received a letter from Liu Biao in Luoyang, Emperor Xian then found Guan Yu to give Liu Biao's letter to Guan Yu, Guan Yu couldn't help but be furious after reading it, the letter stated that Liu Biao as a member of the Han family has the responsibility to guard the land, Jingzhou has been controlled by the Liu family, why bother to allocate military power in this move, there is no need for this, as a member of the family, Liu Biao is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses for His Majesty, loyalty, no ambition, and absolute obedience to the leadership of the imperial court, so Jingzhou is under His Majesty at any time, and His Majesty is welcome to visit and inspect at any time, Every soldier here is also a leader of His Majesty, ready to be dispatched at any time!

Liu Biao's soft and rigid letter, although the words are kept saying that they support the imperial court, respect the Son of Heaven, and be loyal to the emperor, but they do not disclose the transfer of military power, and do not involve the details of handing over military power, and they also implicitly refuse, in fact, its essence is not to give up Jingzhou, not to hand over military power, but the letter is more euphemistic, but it can't blind Guan Yu's eyes, Emperor Xian may not understand but Guan Yu is a person who has come over and is a person with brains, and knows the meaning of this letter. Liu Biao, Liu Biao didn't expect that as a member of the Han family, he would treat this matter like this, it seems that as long as it involves fundamental interests, no one will be merciful, even if it is a family.

It seems that Liu Biao is against the annexation of Luoyang, Guan Yu never thought that Liu Biao, who has always been low-key and weak, actually refused to accept this matter, since Liu Biao is not inconvenient to clean up with him from the moment, he can only be stranded like this, but Hanoi's flamboyant submission has made him feel a lot more balanced, and then we have to see the performance of other princes, Guan Yu is looking forward to the reaction of other princes, especially Cao Cao and Li Dao, the two princes, if they don't follow, they can implement the next plan, what plan? That is, to send a letter to Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao, and to send a letter to Han Sui to send troops to attack Li Dao, which is called salute first and then soldier!

However, he said that Cao Cao received a holy decree from the imperial court, and in the letter, he actually wanted to hand over his military power and attach himself to the imperial court, and go to Luoyang to worship the Son of Heaven on the same day. Cao Cao is a shrewd person and quickly understood the meaning, he finally won Yanzhou and levied 100,000 Qingzhou troops.

Cao Cao knew that this matter was done by Guan Yu again, because others can't do this kind of thing, this is the behavior of a wise man, after Guan Yu was in Luoyang, Cao Cao began to pay attention to him, because he had dealt with Guan Yu, and even more hand-to-hand, Cao Cao was both afraid and admired by this Guan Yu, this is a great opponent: not only outstanding martial arts but also witty, with extraordinary ability, because of this Cao Cao had to pay attention to Guan Yu, in his eyes this is a difficult opponent, is a strong opponent in his future, this enemy is so powerful, Let him sit still

Since the last battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao ate Guan Yu's defeat, resulting in the defeat of the Kwantung coalition army, since this defeat, Cao Cao then returned to Dongjun, regrouped, he also realized Guan Yu's strength, but he did not admit defeat, and constantly reorganized the people in order to fight again, Cao Cao did not think that he was so slumped, on the contrary, he wanted to take this opportunity to continue to encourage himself to move forward, as the saying goes, "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers", he did not believe that he would always lose to this Guan Yunchang.

Cao Cao is also an ambitious person, but also a never-say-die and never admit defeat of the strong, he sat in the East County, continue to recruit troops, recruit talents, expand strength, soon gathered a capable force, after he marched into Yanzhou, defeated the Yellow Turban Army and captured 100,000 Qingzhou army after sitting in Yanzhou, recruiting talents, soon gathered a group of capable generals, the strength increased greatly, Cao Cao soon rose in Shandong.

In Cao Cao's eyes, this Guan Yu can be called a real hero, he not only has the courage of ten thousand people, but also has a lot of strategy, military talent, this person can be called an excellent general with both wisdom and martial arts, and this Guan Yu also has great ambitions, he is also a person with lofty ambitions and a heart for the world, how can such a talented and ambitious person be satisfied with a mere Luoyang? His killing of Dong Zhuoxiong in Luoyang was like a tiger with wings, which was exactly what Cao Cao was worried about.

Why do you say that? Before, Guan Yu was a general under Dong Zhuo, although he had a certain amount of power in the military and took on important responsibilities, but no matter what, he was a person under the fence, he had to obey Dong Zhuo's orders and obey Dong Zhuo's leadership, and in many ways he needed to obey Dong Zhuo's orders, with Dong Zhuo's suppression, even if he Guan Yu was capable, but the space to play was very limited, so it was difficult for Guan Yu to soar into the sky and dominate the world.

After Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, although he was a little brutal and unkind, although he was a little bulliful, although he was a little absurd, but he did not have the ambition to dominate the world, he certainly had some ambitions, but when he entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had no other attempts, and he did not have the ambition to get rid of the Quartet, of course, this is also related to his age, after all, he is nearly half a hundred years old, and he does not have the energy to compete for hegemony, and Dong Zhuo only cares about pleasure after entering Luoyang, which has somewhat consumed a lot of his fighting spirit (to be continued......
