Liu Biao stepped forward to help Liu Bei slightly, and said softly: "Xuande, I wish you an early victory and a triumphant return for my brother!" After that, his tone paused slightly, and he said: "Tomorrow I will prepare a feast for my brother and Xuande!" ”

"Thank you Brother Jingsheng for your kindness!" Liu Bei's face showed a hint of emotion, and after a deep groan, he said solemnly to Liu Biao: "Brother Jingsheng, the soldiers are fast, and the banquet will wait for Xuande to return from the rebellion." ”

Liu Biao nodded after hearing this, there was a sad look in the depths of his eyes, and he said gently: "Xuande and go with a good heart, wait for your good news for my brother!" ”

Liu Bei thanked him again, and then left in a hurry. Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei's departing back, slowly sat back in the main seat, stared at Kuai Liang, and shouted: "Zirou, the logistics must be in place!" ”

"My lord, rest assured, the two armies are on the march, and the Xiangyang Mansion Treasury can still be maintained, if not, you can also let Jiangling County Cheng Fu Xun be responsible for Uncle Liu Huang's way." Kuai Liang immediately replied in a deep voice. Liu Biao was relieved to think about it after hearing this, and looked at Cai Mao with his eyes and said, "Deju, how many soldiers are there in Xiangyang?" ”

Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao's words seemed to have the intention of dividing the Xiangyang army, and his heart sank, the army of Jingbei was in the hands of the Cai family, and every time Cai Mao was missing, his heart was dripping blood, Cai Mao immediately preemptively said: "Lord, in fact, this army to go to Jiangxia does not need Xiangyang soldiers!" ”

Liu Biao saw that Cai Mao was cunning and cunning, his heart sank, and the haze in the depths of his eyes was even worse, and his eyes looked at Cai Mao's eyes for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. Just when the Kuai brothers interjected to break the deadlock, Liu Biaowu daxiao!

"De Jue is worthy of being a lonely general, thinking about loneliness in everything, De Jue, where did you say that the army of Jiangxia was?"

Cai Mao's eyes were vague, his face trembled, and he said softly: "Jing Nan." ”

"Jing Nan?" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "De Jue thinks that Jingnan's army can go to the court?" ”

"My lord, the land of Jingnan has been under the threat of the Wuxi barbarians for a long time, and there will inevitably be elite soldiers for several years." Cai Mao's face pointed to the country, and he shouted in a low voice: "What's more, the four counties of Jingnan are far away from Xiangyang, although the four counties are too guarded to listen to the lord on the bright side, but the dark side is yang and yin, and they are shili; If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that the people of Jingnan will only remember to be too conservative and don't know the lord. ”

"Hehe, it seems that the old man was too tolerant before, now it's time to give them some color!" Liu Biao deeply felt that what Cai Mao said was reasonable, and looked at Kuai Yue solemnly and said: "Xenodu, please go to Jingnan to recruit 20,000 soldiers from Jingnan!" ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was stunned: "Lord, two or twenty thousand troops? ”

Kuai Liang and Cai Mao also looked at Liu Biao in astonishment, they seemed to have heard it wrong?

However, I saw Liu Biao's head nodded, slapped the table with his right hand, and said coldly: "You're right, it's 20,000, if they don't comply, they can give the lonely fuck, don't occupy the pit and don't shit, they don't want to be too guarded, someone does, if not, wait for the Wenhi, Wang Wei and the two generals will return, and the old man will order to go to Jingnan to watch!" ”

Liu Biao's meaning is very obvious, Nima, don't hand over the army? Lao Tzu took the army to Jingnan to swim around, and as for what it was, everyone understood it very well. Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao were all shocked after hearing this, and looked at Liu Biao with a little horror in the depths of their eyes, it seems that Liu Biao is here for real time this time, and when Liu Bei defeats Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, will Liu Biao leave Jingnan's military power to him?

Will the fat in hand be sent back raw? The facts are there, how is it possible?

The two brothers of the Kuai family are a little happy in their hearts, although the Kuai family is huge, but the children of the clan have no hands on military power, and they all have a political career, firmly grasp the lifeblood of Jingzhou, and the financial power! This is also one of the reasons why the Cai family grasped the military power but did not dare to completely turn their faces with the Kuai family!

Originally, the Cai and Kuai families were in a very peculiar balance, but during this period, with Cai Mao's sister marrying Liu Biao, this balance was broken, and the scales slowly tilted towards the Cai family! …,

The brothers of the Kuai family are all scheming people, the benefits of this matter to the Kuai family outweigh the disadvantages, of course the two agree with both hands, Cai Mao is also a veteran of playing with power, seeing Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue and the two of them were overjoyed, as if they had married a little daughter-in-law who had been fragrant for a day, Cai Mao couldn't wait to run over and beat him a few times, but Cai Mao still didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Liu Surface!

Although Cai Mao has mastered most of the military power in Jingzhou, it is only limited to the Jingbei region, and there is still a military power firmly held by Liu Biao, just like the old Shanyang department that followed Liu Biao, as well as the Huang family Huang Zu, Huang Zu is carried by Liu Biao, although the Huang family is only Huang Zu who has ascended to a high position, but the Huang family's shili in Jingxiang cannot be underestimated!

Liu Biao saw that his right hand and right men agreed, and his heart was slightly relieved, Liu Biao understood in his heart that the current Jingzhou was divided into several factions, and the Cai family was the most respectful.

Liu Biao has strengthened his control over the land of Jingbei for more than ten years, but the control of Jingnan has declined, and it is not unrelated that Jingnan will have such an ambiguous attitude today.

Liu showed that Bai would be so arrogant in Jingnan now, and sometimes he would disobey his orders, and there must be a big backer behind him, and this backer Liu Biao also guessed a thing or two in his heart, so Liu Biao was even more angry in his heart, and glanced at Cai Mao without leaving a trace.

Liu Biao has always been in a passive position, although he is the pastor of Jingzhou, there is no one under his command who can be of great use, although Huang Zu can, but he is far away in the sky, and there is a way that far water can not save the near fire. Liu Biao's heart has not moved, and finally, Liu Biao gradually saw the opportunity, first Liu Bei entered Xinye, and then Zhang Wu and Chen Sun rebelled, such a great opportunity, with Liu Biao's old and spicy, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

Immediately, Liu Biao made a small calculation in his heart, Liu Bei went to quell the rebellion, but it was just a disguise, Liu Biao's real purpose was to rely on Liu Bei to master the Jingzhou army, didn't there be a great man in later generations who said: "The big fist is the boss, and the gun is out of power!" ”

Liu Biao knew that Cai Mao, an army of tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang, would not let go easily, and Liu Biao did not plan that Cai Mao would agree, so Liu Biao retreated to the next place and cut off some shili from Jingnan first.

As for Liu Bei's ability, Liu Biao has no doubt at all, who can survive under Cao Cao until now, without two brushes in his hands?

"Where will the 20,000 troops go?" Liu Biao pondered deeply, and immediately thought secretly: "Well, Xuande will be in charge first, and by the way, he will be stationed in Jiangling first, and then he will slowly figure it out!" ”

Although Liu Biao said that everything was very haode assumption, Liu Biao still didn't dare to take it lightly, the shili of the family couldn't be despised by Liu Biao, why couldn't Liu Biao say anything in Jingzhou? It is because there are too many people from the family under his command, and over time, it has slowly become this factor today!

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang with a smile, and Kuai Yue said: "Zirou, Xenodu, you two go and get busy first!" ”

Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue knew that Liu Biao was issuing an eviction order, and the two of them also agreed to retire with a low voice.

After Jing Liangjing left, Liu Biao rubbed his temples, Liu Biao was old after all, he worked too hard at once, and his energy was not good! After a while, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao with a little tiredness, and said softly: "Deju, you should also step down, these days, you will also go to take a look at the city defense of Xiangyang City, and you must not let the bandits take advantage of it!" ”

Cai Mao was preoccupied, and after listening to Liu Biao's words, he retreated after a perfunctory moment, rushed back to Cai's mansion, and discussed countermeasures with Zhang Yun's own faction!

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao's retreat, and said gloomily in his heart: "Hey, each has its own interests, I may be able to suppress it when I am there, if I go, can Qi'er take on this great responsibility?" ”

Thinking of his eldest son's usual style, Liu Biao felt even more regret and remorse, Liu Qi was weak-minded, and he had close contacts with some fox friends over the years. has no style of his own, the second son Liu Cong was born to Cai Mao's sister Mrs. Cai, although Liu Cong is small, he is smart and clever, and he is rarely famous, Liu Biao loves it very much! …,

However, what worries Liu Biao very much is Mrs. Cai's maiden family, the Cai family!

It is not uncommon for relatives to have dictatorship, let alone Liu Cong or a yellow-mouthed child? Liu Biao didn't know how long he would live, Liu Biao had a headache for this, Liu Biao frowned, rubbed his temples slightly, and twisted his eyebrows.

The light in his eyes flickered. After a long time, Liu Biao's eyes were certain, firm and persistent.

Inn!

In the room, Liu Bei, Liu Xuan, and Zhao Yun sat opposite each other in amazement!

Liu Bei said all the thoughts entrusted by Liu Biao and himself, Zhao Yunzhi didn't say anything, he was calm and steady in his normal state, and his eyes were full of infinite fighting intent!

Liu Xuan frowned deeply, beating Jiangxia thieves? After pondering for a long time, Liu Xuan said softly: "Father, Quelling the chaos Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, why do you want to go?" ”

Liu Bei still had a smile on his face, spread his hands and chuckled: "Wen Ping, Wang Wei and the two generals are fighting outside, and Cai Mao has the heavy responsibility of guarding Xiangyang, so Brother Jingsheng can only ask for his father." ”

Liu Xuan slapped his forehead helplessly when he heard this, and secretly thought bitterly in his heart: "My dripping father, you are really a fucking cow." ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Xuan with a sad face, and asked with concern, "Xuan'er, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Xuan listened to Liu Bei's question, rolled his eyes helplessly, spread his hands, and said bitterly: "Father, we are in the tiger's den now......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Bei's displeased voice and shouted: "How can Xuan'er say that?" Brother Jingsheng has great kindness to us, Brother Jingsheng is worried, we should only do our best! ”

Liu Bei glared at Liu Xuan with a slightly reproachful look, and said unexpectedly: "Before, my father asked you to go with me to see Brother Jingsheng, but as soon as you turned around, you disappeared, where did you go?" I just can't get away with it! ”

Liu Xuan's heart sank, he smirked perfunctorily, and said in a low voice: "Father, the child went into the city alone to find out about the general situation in Xiangyang. ”

"Does the father know what the child has to say?" Liu Xuan's face was heavy, there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows, and he said in a deep voice: "The army guarding Xiangyang accounts for almost half of the Cai family. After a pause, Liu Xuan looked at Liu Bei with shining eyes, and said softly: "Father, have you ever thought about it, what happens after my father quells the rebellion?" ”

"Father, you can't guarantee that Cai Mao will be kind and won't deal with you? The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and dark arrows are difficult to prevent. ”

Glancing at Liu Bei's thoughtful face, Liu Xuan said lightly: "Father, it's better to be like this, father took Uncle Yun to quell the chaos, the child stayed in Xiangyang, if Cai Mao and other villains make small moves, the child can also report to his father!" ”

Liu Bei shook his head when he heard this, and said categorically: "No, Xuan'er, it's too dangerous for you to stay in Xiangyang alone!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Xuan smiled strangely and said softly: "Father, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place!" Father can entrust the child to Uncle Liu Jingsheng! ”

"Father is out on the expedition, Liu Biao should have the ability to protect the child with a yellow mouth?" Liu Xuan chuckled, stared at Liu Bei and said, "Father can rest assured that he will go on the expedition, and the child will have his own way to do the future."

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes wandered over Liu Xuan, and he smiled: "What can I do?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the north!" Liu Xuan shrugged his shoulders, but he was very free and easy. After Liu Bei heard Liu Xuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, smiled at the 'haha', and said loudly: "It is worthy of being the son of my Liu Xuande!" ”

"It's good to be bold and knowledgeable!"

Liu Bei said three good in a row, Liu Xuan looked flattered from time to time, and after less than a moment, Liu Xuan's face was solemn and said, "Father, even if this is the case, we still have to sum it up." ”

Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully, and then the three of them gathered aside and whispered, time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was dusk before Liu Bei took Liu Xuan to the Zhennan General's Mansion to see Liu Biao.

…………

The next day, Liu Bei took 3,000 soldiers from Xiangyang City and wanted to take advantage of the rising sun to run to the Jiangxia battlefield.

Liu Biao took a group of civil and military officers to the east city gate a few miles away.

Liu Bei couldn't look at it anymore, grabbed Liu Biao's hands, and said excitedly: "Brother Jingsheng, send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, and I will stop here today." ”

Liu Biao nodded silently, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Virtuous brother must remember the words of my brother and virtuous brother yesterday." ”

Liu Bei's expression changed slightly when he heard this, his eyes flashed with a touch of joy and heaviness, and then he gave an order, and Zhao Yun took the lead and led the forward towards Jiangxia!

On Liu Biao's side, Cai Mao's face was gloomy, and the light in her eyes flickered, looking at an eight or nine-year-old boy standing next to Liu Biao. This young man's eyes are round and straight, his face is pink, his sword eyebrows, and his body is full of spirituality, which is very cute and lovely.
