"News came from Xu Du this morning that Liu Chuang went to Liaodong."

Cao Cao was stunned, feeling very confused in his heart.

At this time, he must have stayed in Yanjing, or stationed in Jizhou...... Liu Chuang suddenly ran back to Liaodong at this time, which made Cao Cao feel a little more suspicious. Could it be that Liu Chuang wants to play tricks? Or is there any other purpose for him to go to Liaodong?

"It is said that Guan Hai is sick, and his condition is a little severe.

After Liu Chuang learned the news, he hurriedly left Yanjing and rushed back to Liaodong......"

Guan Hai is sick?

Cao Cao closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He knows the origin of Guan Hai, and he also knows the significance of Guan Hai to Liu Chuang.

It is said that when Liu Chuang was in Qu County, except for one Liu Yong, only this Guan Hai was the closest to him. And this Guan Hai, it is said that he was born as a Yellow Turban thief and once besieged Beihai Kingdom. Later, due to the rebellion of the tribe, he left with a group of relatives and lived in seclusion in Qu County. I don't know how, I met Liu Chuang...... Although he didn't know what the process was, Cao Cao believed that the relationship between Liu Chuang and Guan Hai must be very close. Otherwise, Liu Chuang would never leave Yanjing at this time and go to Liaodong.

But......

Cao Cao's heart suddenly moved.

He ordered Jia Xu and Cao Peng to be responsible for investigating the news of the thunder fire in Liaodong, Liu Chuang went to Liaodong at this time, will it have something to do with this?

Wenhe is cautious and has no last resort, so there will be no problem in thinking about it.

But Liu Chuang seems to have a lot of capable people around him, in case ...... Cao Cao's mood suddenly became a little heavy, and his face became ugly.

But he's not having a good time making a decision right now!

Because Cao Cao had said to Jia Xu before, let him take care of this matter alone.

That's why. After Jia Xu's operation, no news came. Cao Cao wasn't worried about Jia Xu's problems, because Jia Xu was still followed by a Cao Peng. And this Cao Peng is very clever and can monitor Jia Xu at a certain time.

It's just that......

Cao Cao always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Battle of Guanzhong. It's ready to go.

After Cao Cao arrived in Chang'an, he began to dispatch troops.

Xiahoudun had made a mistake before, was dismissed to Jingzhaoyin, and led his troops to garrison Gaoling to prevent the Han army from a sneak attack from Beidi County; Then he ordered Yu Ban to garrison Longmen Mountain to defend against the soldiers and horses of Hedong. He also ordered Xiahoudun to be stationed at the foot of Wuyue Mountain, which could echo with Wangxian County to ensure the safety of the right wind. If you don't win, you lose first...... The opponent this time is different from the past, although it is not Liu Chuang's main force. But with the power of Liangzhou's great victory, even Cao Cao felt tremendous pressure.

Of course, there is another important reason why he did not launch an offensive.

Xu Du Xunyu has not yet made a move, and Xinye Liu Bei is always a trouble.

Only after Xun Yu solved Liu Bei's troubles that Cao Cao would raise troops in a big way. Otherwise, when he was fighting in Guanzhong. Liu Bei and Liu Chuang's sudden attack from the north and south is bound to bring a huge threat to Cao Cao. solved Liu Bei, and it can also reduce worries.

Of course, Xun Yu didn't let Cao Cao wait too long.

In mid-November, Zhou Yu sent troops from Chaisang to attack Jiangxia.

The Jiangdong Naval Division gathered a group of new warships and easily defeated the Jingzhou Naval Division on the river.

Ling Cao, the general of the navy, beheaded Huang Zu at Xunyangkou, and the Jingzhou navy was defeated and fled...... Fortunately, Cai Mao and Zhang Yunshui arrived in time, and the situation in Jiangxia was stabilized. But Huang Zu's death. However, it caused chaos in Jiangxia and Jingzhou into turmoil.

When Cao Cao learned the news, he stroked his palms and laughed.

"If the plan is successful, the big-eared thief will no longer be a problem."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nanyang, Xinye County.

Chen Dengxing rushed into the county government's back house. I saw Liu Bei sitting under the porch, leisurely weaving a pair of straw shoes.

Seeing Chen Deng coming in, Liu Bei hurriedly beckoned and smiled: "Yuanlong came just in time, look at my grass shoes, how is the preparation?" ”

"My lord, this is ......"

Chen Deng frowned and stepped forward, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Today, the soldiers are training hard, and Shiyuan is also running around in Jingzhou for the lord. Why is it that if such things are spread out in the house, will not the lord be ridiculed? ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei suddenly showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly got up to apologize to Chen Deng.

Since the defeat of Runan, Liu Bei, with the help of Chen Deng, fled all the way from Runan to Jingzhou, and finally gained a foothold. Later, by chance, he heard Sima Hui mention the name of Pang Tong in Shuijing Villa, so he admired him and went to Lumen Mountain three times to solicit him, and finally made Pang Tong return to his heart and came down the mountain to assist.

This Pang Tong is not very outstanding, and it can be described as ugly.

But I have to say that he is really talented, and after serving Liu Bei, he did solve a lot of troubles for Liu Bei.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of recruiting Pang Tong is that the Lumen Mountain Pang family behind Pang Tong has made Liu Bei accepted by many Jingzhou people. You must know that before this, the people of Jingzhou were quite suspicious of Liu Bei, and many people were even hostile to him.

Now, although it is not said that there is no hostility at all, at least on the surface, there will be no-for-tat.

Pang is one of the five surnames of Jingxiang, and has an intricate relationship with other wealthy families. Pang Tong's dedication made Liu Bei feel much more relaxed. He defeated Cao Ren and had the upper hand in several battles with Zhang Xiu. Originally, this was a very happy thing. But with the news of Liu Chuang's occupation of Liangzhou, Liu Bei's originally happy mood disappeared all of a sudden......

"Yuan Long has heard that the thief has taken Liangzhou now?"

Chen Deng's face improved a lot, and he nodded lightly, "Naturally, I heard the news." ”

"But does Yuanlong know that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who rose to fame in Liangzhou, used to be my ministry?"

"Huh?"

Chen Deng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a sudden expression.

"Could it be that this Zhao Zilong was the main rider in the army when the imperial uncle came to Xuzhou?"

"It's him!"

Speaking of Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's heart ached, and at the same time, a nameless anger was born, "I think at the beginning, his brother died and left Xuzhou." Before leaving, he said to me: I will never betray morality. But who would have thought that he would actually take refuge in Liu Chuang...... I don't know what kind of magic the thief used to make Zilong change his mind. If Zilong follows me, why am I like a lost dog and sent someone under the fence? ”

Chen Deng listened. I couldn't help but smile wryly.

He had some impression of Zhao Yun, who was originally one of Liu Beijun's main riders.

It's just that Chen Deng was a celebrity in Xuzhou at the time, how could he pay attention to a small main rider? Later, Cao Cao withdrew from the army, and Zhao Yun left Xuzhou because his brother was killed. If it weren't for Liu Bei to bring it up. Chen Deng didn't even remember that Liu Bei had this person in his army.

He felt sorry for Liu Bei, this Zhao Yun became famous in Liangzhou and had shown his unique talent.

"Since Zhao Yun used to work for the lord, why didn't the lord keep him at that time?"

"This ...... Zilong was originally a subordinate of Bergui, and his brother passed away, so of course I can't force him to stay. ”

Bargaining. Zhao Yun was not your person from beginning to end, why are you sighing here?

Chen Deng's heart was sunny, but he couldn't show it on his face.

He smiled and said, "Since the lord had kindness to Zhao Yun back then, why don't you send someone a letter and invite him to come?" ”

"Is this okay?"

"Why not...... The lord also said that Zhao Yun was confused by the thieves.

The lord was kind to him. In the letter, the identity of the thief can be exposed, and then recruited from him...... I believe that Zhao Yunding will not refuse. ”

Liu Bei listened to it and thought so.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Yuanlong came here today, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hehe, I'm here to say justice to the Lord."

"Where does the joy come from?"

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Shi Yuanfang sent a message from Xiangyang, saying that Huangzu was killed, and the Jiangxia group of dragons had no leader.

Liu Jingzhou was quite troubled by Jiangxia's affairs and was unable to make a decision. Who will take over Jiangxia. That Jiangdong Zhou Yu tun soldiers Xunyangkou, looking at Jiangxia. The people of Jingzhou were afraid of Zhou Yu and did not dare to go. Shi Yuan built yì, the lord went to Jiangxia, but it was better than in the land of Xinye projectiles. Jiangxia has a population of nearly 300,000. It is rich in products, and together with Changsha Wuling, it is really an important place for soldiers.

The lord can temporarily live in Jiangxia, and then plot Jingzhou.

When the time comes, when you go west to Bashu, you can get the foundation land, and then try to plot the world, and great things can be expected......"

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Jiangxia is the eastern gateway of Jingzhou, and its location is so important.

Jingsheng is suspicious now, how can he be contemptuous to outsiders? Although Shi Yuan's idea is good, it is just whimsical, and it may be difficult to succeed. ”

Chen Deng said: "The lord can rest assured, since Shi Yuan proposed this proposal, he must have his own plan. ”

He was silent for a moment, and said softly: "If you can gain a foothold in Jiangxia, it will be better than the land of Xinye...... The lord can also see clearly that Nanyang's xenophobia is very heavy, and it is difficult for non-Nanyang people to gain a foothold here. Although the lord has Chen Zhen's help, it is never a long-term solution.

Previously, there was only one embroidery in Nanyang, which was not enough to be afraid.

Now Cao Cao sent Li Dian and appointed Lu Chang, obviously to the detriment of the lord...... Since last year, Xiangyang has cut off our supply of grain, grass and baggage. Xinye's needs are all self-sufficient by raiding and plundering Zhang Xiufang. If Cao Cao strengthened his defenses, it would not be easy to attack and plunder. On the Jiangxia side, although Jiangdong invaded, it had a vast area and a large population. If the lord can gain a foothold in Jiangxia, he does not need to worry about the weight of grain and grass...... That Liu Jingsheng is now panicking like a frightened bird, if the lord is willing to defend Jiangdong for him, he will have to think about it.

Coupled with Shi Yuan and Ji Bo's lobbying, I believe that this matter is not impossible...... On the contrary, if the lord continues to stay in Shinno, the situation will become more and more difficult. At the beginning, Liu Biao asked the lord to come to Xinye, because he wanted the lord to defend him against Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao was disturbed by the thieves and had no intention of looking south. Now that the thieves occupy Liangzhou, they will inevitably enter Guanzhong in the east, and Cao Cao will inevitably devote all his energy to Guanzhong next, and it is impossible to go south to Jingzhou. In this way, Liu Biao has no threat from Cao Cao, how can he let the lord stay in Xinye? ”

PS: There is only one update today!

Somehow, my spirit was very sluggish, and I couldn't lift my spirits.

After barely writing a chapter, I felt more and more tired.

I'll make up for it tomorrow, so please forgive me......
