Liu Bei's performance was very calm and calm, not only did he not clearly want to compete with Cai Mao, but also made it clear that he was not a useless person, and implored Cai Mao to give him a chance to do things, and Liu Bei's words were both rigid and soft, soft and hard, so that Cai Mao had some precautions in his heart, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed about his cautious energy.

After thinking about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Liu Bei's words, people followed you on an expedition once, but you didn't even give people a chance to fight, whether it was public or private, it seemed so inauthentic.

But the problem is that Cai Mao still understands one thing in his heart at this moment, that is, Liu Bei is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, this kid first served Sun Zhan, then Tao Qian, then from Lu Bu, and then with Cao Cao, and now these people Liu Bei has followed, except for Cao Cao, the rest are basically all hiccups, and Cao Cao himself is also in Guanzhong at the moment Yuan Shang can't raise his head, and the situation is also in danger.

Based on this alone, Cai Mao felt that Liu Bei's ability was absolutely undoubted, not to mention anything else, just talking about the war, although Cai Mao was conceited, he thought that he was not the opponent of Liu Bei, who was experienced in the southern and northern wars, don't look at Liu Bei's few soldiers, but he was a terrifying immortal general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if he really appointed him to an important battle, it is estimated that Liu Bei will be able to completely compare himself to him after a battle, so that he will still have a bird to lead the troops to Xu Du this time?

So, Cai Mao's heart was a little hesitant. In this war, what kind of work should Liu Bei be given? Cai Mao's heart was uncertain.

Looking at Cai Mao's hesitant expression, Liu Bei already knew it in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and he slowly said the words that he had been planning for a long time in his heart from his mouth.

"Looking at the appearance of Cai Dudu, this attack on Xu Du should have been arranged a long time ago, so it is inconvenient to arrange it again, right?"

This sentence is clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Cai Mao also asked Liu Bei just now. asked him how to arrange the front vanguard of the attack on Xu Du, so that Liu Bei's mouth became properly arranged, and it was clear that he was looking for steps to deliberately give Cai Mao a step.

Cai Mao is not stupid, when he is the governor of Jingzhou's navy, if he doesn't even have the vision to go down the stairs, then isn't he a fool of himself?

"Xuande Gong clearly saw that hey, this governor has been really busy with official business recently, and he has been quietly preparing for combat matters, but he has forgotten about Xuande Gong's affairs. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I hope Xuande doesn't blame Bendu. ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Don't dare, since all the combat matters on Xu Du's side have been arranged, it is not good to meddle in it, so as not to disrupt Cai Gong's layout, and now Cao Ren, the commander of Wanluo, was ordered to fight in Xuzhou and confront Gao Gan." The land of Wancheng is temporarily led by the former Taishou Zhang Xiu, and the interior is empty, if the governor thinks it is feasible. It's better to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Wancheng and seize its city, thinking that it is the frontline station of Jingzhou, I don't know what the governor of the capital will do? ”

Cai Mao heard this. After pondering for a while, I was overjoyed in my heart, and the secret path was just a Wancheng, and you just captured it. How can its record compare with the capture of Xuchang? And in this way, he can also use his son to take Liu Bei away, saving him from adding blockage to his heart here, why not do it?

So, Cai Mao didn't think much about it, and immediately decided: "Okay!" Just do it according to Xuande Gong's words, you lead the soldiers and horses to attack Wancheng, Xu Du's free governor will take care of it properly, you and I will divide the work, divide and attack, and seize these two important lands in one fell swoop! Do your best for the lord's hegemony! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw Cai Mao agree, but his face was very indifferent, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Governor, go back to the camp to prepare!" ”

“”

**********************

After Liu Bei left, he immediately returned to the camp where he was, and in his handsome tent, there were already a number of henchmen waiting for him, including the hand-cranked feather fan, the wise military advisor, Zhuge Liang!

Except for Zhuge Liang, the faces of the others were relatively serious and nervous, and when they saw Liu Bei coming in, they seemed a little relieved, but they saw Zhang Fei suddenly stand up from the spot, and shouted to Liu Bei in a voice like rolling thunder: "Big brother! How did you go for so long, but I was anxious enough, if you don't come back, I will have to kill Cai Mao's camp and ask his dignitaries! ”

"How can it be so sinister as you said, I am also the brother of the Jingsheng brothers, even though Cai Mao is dissatisfied with me on weekdays, but he will not blatantly kill me at this juncture, third brother, you are impatient, but you have to change well." Liu Bei shook his head with a smile and said helplessly.

Beside Zhang Fei, Guan Yu touched Changrun's beard, sighed, and said: "Brother, don't blame, although the third brother's words are a little direct, they are right in our hearts, I don't know what my brother did when he went to Cai Mao's camp this time?" ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, nodded and said: "Second brother, although rest assured, there is a prior entrustment from the military advisor, and there is something that cannot be done, everything is already in accordance with the will of the military advisor, Cai Mao has already allowed me to attack Wancheng!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled softly, not showing the slightest color because of Liu Bei's praise, but respectfully replied: "This matter depends on the ability of the lord, what does it have to do with Liang?" Please also ask the lord not to be too modest. ”

Liu Bei shook his hand and said with a smile: "Hey~, the military advisor's words are bad, if it weren't for the good words of the military advisor, the preparation plan is properly planned, and if you go this time, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time, how can you get such results?" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he snorted heavily in disdain, and said, "It's just to win a chance to attack Wancheng, what is it to admire?" Xu didn't fight with a good deal, but went to attack what Wancheng, I was afraid that Cai Mao would like to let me wait to go, my brother asked for his life this time, I am afraid that it just followed Cai Mao's wish! ”

Liu Bei's face turned pale when he heard this, and he glared at Zhang Fei dissatisfied, and said: "The third brother's words are wrong, the strategy of the military advisor is far-reaching, how can ordinary people be able to deal with it?" The third brother can't make a statement, everything is arranged by the military division! ”

Zhang Fei opened his mouth when he heard this, as if he was angry, but when he saw Liu Bei's serious face. In desperation, he had to swallow the words again, but the expression of disbelief was visible to anyone.

Zhuge Liang was not angry, but said with a smile: "The three generals are admirable for their quick talk, he doesn't understand the purpose of this campaign, but it is also reasonable, but after this war is over, the three generals can understand the deep meaning of Liang's actions, and please put aside the mustard in your heart for the time being, but once the war is over." If the three generals still feel that Liangzhi's plan is wrong, although it is okay to come and ask for the crime, please deign to obey Liang's arrangement now. ”

Zhuge Liang was able to say such words, which was tantamount to giving Zhang Fei a big face, even if Zhang Fei was not convinced at this moment, it was not good to say anything, plus Liu Bei was staring at him with blazing eyes on the side, so he had to nod and obey.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This time to attack Wancheng." We need to divide our troops in two ways, with the three generals as the vanguard in the front, and the lord and Liang and others as the ones to seize Wancheng. The second general ordered a partial division Chen Bing to the side of Wancheng to observe the movement of the Jingzhou army attacking Xuchang at any time, and then be ordered to attack at any time. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, Danfeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Qi said: "When we attack Wancheng, we will directly attack Wancheng, so why let Guan stay to observe the movements of Xuchang." Don't you have to let Guan help Cai Mao when she is in danger? Hmph, when this person was in Jingzhou, he had always been against his brother, and he had a bad heart! How could Guan help him? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "General Guan misunderstood Liang's meaning, and let you stay here secretly, not because Liang wants you to help Cai Mao, on the contrary, what Liang wants is that at the critical moment, General Guan, you can go."

********************************

Liu Bei began to act here, Yuan Shang was not idle on the side of Guanzhong, and now Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, died, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were defeated, and the princes of Guanzhong were discouraged.

As a result, in the past few days, Yuan's army has been fighting vigorously, deploying troops, intending to fight in a big way after being ready! And Ma Teng also responded to Yuan Shang's agreement and sent Ma Chao into Yuan Shang's camp as scheduled.

Xiliang Jinma Chao came to Yuan Jun here as Yuan Shang's personal guard, and as soon as this incident spread among Yuan Jun, it immediately caused a shock among the three armies!

The blackening on Ma Chao's face has improved after a few days of treatment, although it still looks a little dirty, but it has roughly recovered his usual fair appearance, he walked into Yuan Shang's handsome tent with a big grin, his face was arrogant like a rooster singing in the morning, he casually arched his hand, and said loudly to Yuan Shang: "The last general, Ma Chao, led his father's order to come to Yuan Gong's account to obey the dispatch!" ”

Although the words were spoken respectfully, there was obviously a very arrogant voice in his voice, and there was no trace of blessing in the slightest, as if everyone owed him money, which was disgusting.

Yuan Shang didn't care, holding the Dunjia Tianshu Human Shield that Zuo Ci gave him back then, and while reading carefully, he casually raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Chao, and said, "Coming?" ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "It's here!" ”

"Okay, there's nothing else to do now, pour a glass of water for Yuan."

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

"Pour water! Or what do you think you're going to do? You have to figure out that you are not a general leading the troops now, but on the orders of your father, to serve Yuan's head of the guard, figure out your identity, and don't go on a business trip. ”

Ma Chao's face twitched with Yuan Shang's words, and after standing for a long time, he heard him gasp heavily: "What if I don't pour it for you?" ”

Yuan Shang raised his head, threw the book sword on the table with a casual "lying down", crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a ruffian look: "Then I will send someone to your father to complain now, and see if you pour water for me, or let his old man go to my camp to apologize for your unfilial son, you can choose one." ”

Ma Chao was furious when he heard this: "The surname Yuan, you, you are a despicable villain!" ”

"Your sister, let you pour water! What so much nonsense! ”

"You dare to scold my sister?!"

"Scolding your sister? I'll return your sister, pour me water! ”

Ma Chao took a deep breath, strode to his desk to take his copper cup, and said angrily, "What kind of water to drink?" Cool, hot! ”

"You're a pig brain, do you drink hot water at home on this hot day?"

"What the hell is water?"

"Since you're so fond of getting to the bottom of things, let's have some soda, and remember to ask for Mirinda, a chilled orange flavor."

Ma Chao: "(To be continued.) )
