Cao Cao traveled through the mountains and rivers for more than half a month, and finally passed through Jingzhou by way.

There are a lot of spies along the way, in the eyes of the veterans of a hundred battles, such as Dian Wei Xu Chu Cao Ren, they are all first-class elites, Liu Biao is really not at ease with this jackal, although the destination of Cao Cao's trip is Yizhou, however, no one dares to guarantee that Cao Cao, who should have led to Yizhou, will open his blood basin and bite Jingzhou, so Liu Biao's vigilance is not unreasonable.

It was still the black chariot, Cao Cao was sitting on it, surrounded by a group of soldiers, the generals gathered, staring vigilantly in all directions, seeing that they were about to enter the border of Yizhou, and the speed of moving forward was a little slower, just like Liu Bei wanted to guard against Cao Cao, these generals were also preventing Liu Biao from having a bad intention to do something to his lord.

People's hearts are separated from the belly, no one believes in anyone, this is the most realistic portrayal of the troubled times, Cao Cao only has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him, although Cao Cao responded to the imperial court's edict, but also put on a look of deference and obedience, but, as long as it is not a brainless person, it can basically be seen that Cao Cao's entry into Shu is just a joke, only with 20,000 soldiers and horses, unless Liu Zhang does not resist, otherwise, 20,000 Cao troops are not enough to dry their teeth, Shu is not only complex terrain, the power of each force is also staggered, aside from the Dongzhou Group and the Yizhou Shi Alliance, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong alone is not something that can be won by 20,000 soldiers and horses, and because of this, most people can see that Cao Cao is acting on the spot, playing a good show loyal to the Han family and loyal to the court.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least, on the bright side. He did not completely go against the imperial court. In the eyes of some people and scholars who have not yet given up on the Han family. This is more important than anything else.

All the way said that it was an escort, but in fact, Liu Pan, who was monitoring Cao Cao, breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, Cao Cao's fame was extremely great, and the dozens of generals around him were also experienced in a hundred battles, Liu Pan was born after him, although he had 100,000 Jingzhou troops behind him as a backing. But he still felt a lot of pressure, as Liu Biao's son, he also knew very well that Liu Biao was jealous of Cao Cao.

"Li Han, immediately go and inform the lord that Cao Cao has led the crowd out of the country." Liu Pan summoned his subordinate general Zuo and said in a deep voice.

"Whoa." The young youngster galloped away.

Liu Pan did not leave with the soldiers and horses, although Cao Cao had already left Jingzhou at the moment, but for the sake of safety, Liu Pan still decided to stare here, after all, the pressure Cao Cao brought him was too great. If you accidentally let 20,000 Cao troops pour into Jingzhou, I am afraid that there will be the consequences of luring wolves into the house.

"Cheer up Ben. Who dares to relax, Hugh blames Ben for being ruthless, hear it? ”

Liu Pan shouted loudly, this army is an elite mastered by Liu Biao, they are all foot soldiers, and they are elite sailors on the warship, and this time they have dispatched 20,000 people just to monitor Cao Cao, which is enough to see that Liu Biao attaches great importance to Cao Cao.

"Roar~"

The 20,000 elite Jingzhou troops suddenly agreed, most of the soldiers present were soldiers with battlefield experience, and the binding force of the military order on them was naturally relatively strong.

Seeing this, Liu Pan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and stationed all the soldiers in the same place, and before he was sure whether Cao Cao would borrow the road from Jingzhou, he and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses could only disperse.

As soon as Cao Cao passed through Jingzhou, the news soon reached the ears of Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others.

Yizhou Chengdu.

More than a dozen horsemen rushed into the city, and passers-by consciously dodged along the way, this is the scout of their own army, this month, every day is shuttling back and forth, and the residents and soldiers defending the city in Chengdu are not surprised.

The dozen or so sentry spies soon dismounted outside the state pastor's mansion, all of them were dusty, not from the same place, but they all returned in one direction, although Liu Yan was not very long in Yizhou, but also established a relatively complete information transmission line, these dozen horses, if there is no accident in the intelligence carried, is also to report the news of Cao's army into Shu, but the time difference is different from the place of observation.

After more than a dozen horsemen knocked on the door and entered the house, some of the seemingly hawkers or passers-by outside the state pastor's mansion changed slightly, and soon left quietly, these eyeliner from all ethnic groups were originally for the master to listen to the news, and now more than a dozen horsemen hurriedly entered the city, compared with the four or five horses a day a while ago, there has been a huge change, which is strange, they dare not guess, can only report what they have seen and heard.

In the Xu Mansion in the south of the city, more than a dozen people who are either old or middle-aged have already sat down.

After receiving the news from their respective doormen, Wu Yi, Meng Guanglai, Min Dong, Li Yan Fei Boren and others had already entered, and the spacious outer hall was either elegant or resolute The faces were extremely eye-catching, and if there were people who were familiar with the officialdom of Yizhou, they would be surprised to find that the dozen or so people kneeling in the hall, except for one or two slightly unfamiliar faces, at least two-thirds of them were all big people in charge of Yizhou's authority.

Xu Jing is the master of the Xu Mansion, and he is also the advocate of every time the Dongzhou Group gathers together, he is kneeling on the throne when he is past the age of confusion, as the master of this place, even if there are many people in the hall who are more powerful than him, but no one will feel rude.

Xu Jing's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, except for a brief pause on a few slightly unfamiliar new faces, there was nothing unusual.

"Except for Liu Zichu, who is sick, everyone else has arrived."

The cronies whispered a few words in Xu Jing's ear, but saw Xu Jing wave his hand and retreat from this person, no need for him to say more, Xu Jing also knew that Liu Ba would not come, Liu Ba had been in Shu from Jiaozhou for more than a year, but he had never participated in any of the meetings he organized, once or twice, and by the third time, Xu Jing probably understood that Liu Ba would never be with them.

"Liu Zichu"

Xu Jing sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "I want to see how long you want to fake Qinggao." ”

Yizhou is facing the risk of invasion by foreign enemies, there are a lot of trivial matters at the moment, some are even related to their life and death, as well as the rise and fall of their respective families, in Yizhou, without the support of a strong force, after all, it will not be able to plunder more interests, this, Xu Jing, who has been in Yizhou for more than ten years, can see more clearly than anyone, although Liu Ba is famous, the family that can provide help to him is far away in Jingzhou, in Shudi, Liu Ba is like a rootless Ping, reputation alone is not enough, Similar to Meng Guanglai, Min Dong and Li Yan Fei Boren, these people were able to resist the pressing of the local clan alliance step by step, and they were able to benefit from it, and Liu Ba refused their invitation several times, how could Xu Jing not be angry.

At that moment, the thoughts sank into the bottom of his heart, but Xu Jing's face did not show any abnormality, at his age, it is not too much to say a word of old scheming, over the years in Shu, Xu Jing has personally participated in a lot of struggles, it is precisely because of this, so whether it is scheming or means, it is extremely outstanding, everyone in the hall, although they are all human spirits, but it is obviously not so easy to capture other things on Xu Jing's face.

"Everyone, I think you've already been rewarded by your subordinates, right?"

Xu Jing opened his mouth without warning, his eyes were light, like an understatement of greeting.

Everyone nodded, they did receive the news, and they also had some guesses, so they received an invitation from Xu Jing's disciples, and without much delay, they came to Xu's mansion.

"It must be that Cao Mengde has arrived"

Although Xu Jing was commented by Fa Zheng as a person who had no reputation and no real reputation, he was able to survive the brutal struggles again and again, and he had the ability to invite the major leaders of the Dongzhou Group to Xu Mansion naturally not just because of his fame.

"There will probably be no discrepancies in what Wen Xiugong has decided."

Wu Yi, who has been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly said, he is the young representative of the Dongzhou Group, he is not very old, and his thirties are when he is young and vigorous.

"Therefore, what we are facing now, not only the group of Yizhou Tu clan, but also Cao Cao's foreign enemy, I would like to hear the advice of Er and the others."

Wu Yi is anti-guest, although he did not get up, but his body exudes a momentum that cannot be ignored, as the first batch of old people who followed Liu Yan into Shu, he is qualified to sit on an equal footing with Xu Jing, and even, because of his brilliant military exploits, he has a strong family as a support, to a certain extent, Wu Yi is more suitable to be the leader of the Dongzhou Group.
