Got a single blessing. Not anymore! I visited the family so indiscriminately. ※I visit it purposefully. often asked Zhang Fei to go to the army to find Wen Ping, Wei Yan and others to have a drink, and with Zhang Fei's bold personality, he quickly got along with the officers and soldiers of Jingzhou.

The people on Cai Mao's side reported the matter to Cai Mao, but Cai Mao always looked down on those generals from poor families, and knew that Zhang Fei was just looking for them to eat and drink, so he didn't pay much attention to it. In Cai Mao's view, the Jingzhou army is in his hands, even if Wen Ping and others can only act according to orders, and there are few soldiers in his hands, Liu Bei wants to win them over Cai Mao doesn't care much.

Shan Fu also calculated that Cai Mao thought so, so he let Zhang Fei go to have wine with those Jingzhou generals, coupled with Liu Bei's activities in the Jingzhou family, Liu Bei's influence in Jingzhou is getting bigger and bigger. And Liu Bei was also deliberately low-key under Shan Fu's suggestion, with Liu Bei's ability to endure, even Cao Cao admired it, and deceived Cao Cao, how could Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others see through it, seeing Liu Bei's low-key, Cai Mao didn't pay much attention to him.

In addition, every time Liu Jian returned to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao, Liu Bei secretly went to see Liu Yi and taught Liu Yi how to win Liu Biao's favor under Shan Fu's will. Liu Yan's sudden change in performance was very pleasing to Liu Biao, and Cai Mao felt that it was not good, so she increased her attack on Liu Xiao. Jingzhou's internal undercurrent is surging, and the outside is not calm, just when Zhang Xiubei took the Hetao, Cao Cao took the wings, and Qingerzhou, Sun Jian, who broke through Hefei last year, couldn't help Cao Ren, who defended in Shouchun, so the army turned around and waved his army to take Jiangxia again. With Sun Jian's ability, the land of Jiangdong has not been completely decided a few years ago, and it has not been fully supported by the Jiangdong family, so it has repeatedly attacked Jingzhou. But now Sun Jian after a few years of exhibition, and a big break in Hefei, the strong front of the army and how can he be afraid of Liu Biao, his army waved his army to attack Jiangxia, led by the eldest Sun Ce, supplemented by Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi and other generals, a battle and broke Huang Zu's army, Huang Zu died in battle, Sun Ce's army occupied Jiangxia several counties, Jiangxia was in an emergency for a while.

Huang Zu died in battle, Jiangxia was in a hurry, and the news came, and Jingzhou was greatly shaken for a while.

After Liu Bei received the news, he immediately brought Shan Fu to discuss, only to see Shan Fu's eyes flickering, and he meditated for a while and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, this is a great opportunity." The lord can ask the eldest prince to ask for orders to guard Jiangxia, and the eldest prince has no one under him, so he must ask Liu Jingsheng to ask the lord to assist, so that the lord's opportunity will come

When Liu Bei heard this, he frowned and said, "If you go to Jiangxia, wouldn't you be an enemy of Jiangdong Sun Jian?" Sun Jian is powerful, if all the strength is consumed in Jiangxia, then"

Shan Fu heard this, and laughed: "The lord's words are wrong, if the lord is Cai Mao, and he sees the eldest prince and asks the lord to be the auxiliary, what will happen?"

Liu Bei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he shook his head and said, "There is a towering prince, Cai Mao doesn't dare to come nonsense."

Shan Fu snorted coldly and said: "If Liu Jingsheng is here, Cai Mao naturally doesn't dare to come nonsense, but it is reported that in recent years, Liu Jingsheng has been in poor health, and he has been riddled with diseases in autumn and winter, and now he has not discussed with everyone for a month, and now I am afraid that he has been lying on the couch for a long time

When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked: "It would be like this, that,"

Shan Fu smiled slightly and said, "The lord doesn't need to panic. Just do what Fu says. After speaking, he leaned into Liu Bei's ear and whispered: "The lord should be like this" After speaking, Liu Bei's face had already become natural, and at the same time he said forcefully: "Prepare to understand!" ”

Sun Ce led his troops to attack, and the news of Huang Zu's death had spread all over the city of Xiangyang, although Liu Biao was sick. But after receiving the news, he immediately gathered a crowd of civil and military discussions.

When the crowd arrived, the pale-faced Liu Biao asked: "Jiangxia is in danger, Huang Zu died in battle, who dare to lead the troops to fight Sun Jiazi?" ”

Liu Biao's words asked, and Zhang Yun and the others in the hall all looked at Cai Mao, but Cai Mao didn't seem to see it. Seeing that no one dared to respond, Wen Ren in the back sighed secretly, and was about to go out as soon as he gritted his teeth. But he didn't expect a figure to flash out first, and responded loudly: "Father, the child is willing to lead the troops to rescue Jiangxia!" ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he looked at it and saw that it was Liu Xiao, a trace of flushing suddenly flashed on his face, and he opened his mouth to praise: "Okay!" Sure enough, a good boy for the father! He Sun Wentai has a lion, and my son Liu Jingsheng is not bad." Speaking of this, he coughed violently due to excitement. Cai Mao next to her heard this, and her face unconsciously became extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Liu Yi asked with concern: "Father, you, small" Liu Biao waved his hand to show that it was okay, and then said: "Although my son has courage, but the Sun family is equipped with all the military skills, if only my son goes, the strength is too thin." ”

Liu Yi heard it and said loudly: "Father, uncle has fought Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu. He was a hero of the day, and the child begged his father to send his uncle to bring up the child. ”

Liu Biao heard this, let out a light "oh", and then asked Liu Bei, who was listed in front: "Xuande, would you like to point out your nephew?" small

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Since the eldest prince can afford to be prepared, this is a blessing for preparation." ”

Liu Biao listened, nodded, and asked if he wanted to speak, and the Wen Ping behind him also stood up and said, "My lord, I am also willing to help the eldest prince!" ”

Lippy listened more happily and said with a smile: "Good! In this case, Xuande and Zhongye will help Qi'er. The rest is scattered

When the people heard this, they replied with a loud voice, "No,"

After Liu Biao was helped into the inner hall, Liu Xiao was overjoyed, he had never tried to be praised by Liu Biao in public when he was so old, thinking of this, with a grateful gaze,. Liu Bei smiled at Liu Bei and said to him! , "The eldest prince is full of strength. Liu Yan heard this and nodded very convincingly, obviously convinced of Liu Bei.

Liu Yi left with Liu Bei and Wen Ping, and Cai Mao's face was even more gloomy, and he didn't care about Zhang Yun, who was holding him to speak, and strode away by himself. Cai Mao's every move all fell into Liu Bei's eyes.

got Liu Biao's order. Early the next morning, Liu Yan would leave Xiangyang with Wen Ping, Liu Bei and Liu Bei and Liu Bei's men with 30,000 soldiers and rush to Jiangxia. The army first passed through Jiangling in Nanjun, and Liu Yi originally wanted to rush to Jiangxia directly, but Liu Bei first investigated Jiangling's defense, grain and grass, and inquired about the news of the Jiangdong Navy for the sake of stability. Take a detour to Gangneung first.

Liu Yi obeyed what Liu Bei said, and although Wen Ping felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't say much, in Wen Ping's opinion, Liu Bei was a safe approach, if Jiangxia fell, Jiangling was the back line of defense. Wen Ping had fought with Jiang Dongjun and knew how powerful they were, so he had doubts about being able to keep Jiang Xia, and in his opinion, Liu Bei also had the same idea as him, but everyone didn't tell him for Liu Zuo's good.

The army has been going south, only one day is not enough, and before it arrives at Jiangling, it is a fast horse from Xiangyang that sent the news that Liu Biao's condition suddenly worsened, and he was in danger, and asked Liu Yi to return to Xiangyang alone. Liu Yi was completely at a loss when he heard this, so he discussed Wenpin, Liu Bei, and Shan Fu, whom Liu Bei had recently introduced to him.

After Liu Di showed the letter to the three of them, Wen Ping's brows furrowed, but Shan Fu sneered: "This is Cai Mao's plan to harm the eldest prince!" If the eldest prince returns to Xiangyang alone, I am afraid that he will be in a different place before he sees Liu Jingzhou! ”

Liu Yan was shocked when he heard this. Hurriedly grabbed Shan Fu's sleeve and said, "Sir, save me."

Shan Fumo thought for a moment and said: "For today's plan, why don't the soldiers divide into two roads, take Jiangling all the way and then turn to Jiangxia, so that they will not be realistic, and all the way to escort the eldest prince back to Xiangyang, with the army by his side, Cai Mao does not dare to touch a single hair of the eldest prince."

Liu Yan couldn't help nodding when he heard this, but Wen Cheng frowned and said: "Although Mr.'s plan is good, but Sun Ce's army is strong, if you divide the troops, I am afraid that Jiangxia will lose to Jiangdong, so I am only afraid that the main guild will investigate it."

Shan Fu smiled and said: "It's okay, the two nominal brothers of the imperial uncle have the courage of ten thousand people, and the son of the Sun family is only a yellow mouth, and the two nominal brothers of the imperial uncle will lead the troops to the scene casually, and the son of the Sun family will probably flee immediately."

Liu Yan heard it and said in surprise: "Isn't it the two uncles of Megatron Huaxia, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide, who fought against Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”

Seeing Liu Bei nodding, Liu Di was even more pleased, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in to see the mightiness of the two, and immediately gave a junior salute to the two. Even if Guan Yu was such an arrogant person, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and Zhang Fei was already grinning.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat down, Shan Fu smiled and said: "The eldest prince, the prince and General Zhang are here, how can you be afraid of the Sun family." ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but nod when she heard it, and hurriedly said, "How does that gentleman think it should be arranged?"

Shan Fu said with a smile: "Fu thought that if he let Guan Junhou and General Wen lead 20,000 troops to fight against Sun Xiaoce, the eldest prince would be accompanied by the emperor's uncle to lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers back to Xiangyang, and Cai Mao would not dare to take the eldest prince." ”

Liu Yi nodded and praised: "Reasonable!" He then asked Wen Ping, "What does General Wen think?" ”

Wen Ping thought about it, and also felt that Shan Fu had arranged it properly, so he nodded and said, "There is no objection to hiring." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Since this is the case, Uncle Guan will lead the troops to live in Jiangxia to resist Sun Ce, and General Wen will be the deputy." Yan and his uncle returned to Xiangyang. ”

Guan Yu heard this, his face was even happier, he originally thought that he was going to listen to Wen Ping's order, how did he know that Liu Qi directly appointed him as the main general.

And Wen Ping didn't have much opinion, he couldn't be the main general in the past, and this time the main general was not Cai Mao's straw bag but Guan Yu of Megatron Huaxia. For Guan Yu's ability. Wen Ping was very impressed, so he nodded in agreement.

Guan Yu's army continued to take Jiangling in the south, and Liu Bei sent Liao Hua and Guan Ping to Guan Yu's men, while Guan Xing and others were temporarily sent by Sun Qian to Jiangling to stay and take care of them. Liu Bei and Liu Xiaosan returned to Xiangyang together.

Liu Bei and Liu Zuo hurried back to Xiangyang, and before they arrived at Xiangyang City, they were stopped outside the city by Zhang Yun, who was guarding the city, and asked Liu Jian to enter Xiangyang City alone to see Liu Biao. Since Liu Xiao knew Cai Mao's plan, where was he willing to obey, Zhang Yun was waiting for this sentence, and when he heard that Liu Gou did not obey, he immediately took out Liu Biao's warrant and announced that Liu Xiao was a rebel and would no longer recognize Liu Gou as a son and would kill him.

The troops above and below the city heard it and were shocked at the same time, but with Liu Biao's warrant, the defenders in the city did not dare to disobey. Liu Bei saw that his soldiers were at a loss, and immediately shouted: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun falsely spread Liu Jingzhou's intentions, wanting to harm the life of the eldest prince and dominate Jingzhou. ”

At this time, there was no point in going on, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi to lead the army to storm Xiangyang, and he and Shan Fu protected Liu Yan and retreated. However, the battle only lasted less than half an hour, and when he saw the chaos in the city, Zhang Yun was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw Wei Yan hanging a rank around his waist, and led the army to the city, taking advantage of Zhang Yun's panic, he slashed Zhang Yunxiao with a knife. Then he rushed to the edge of the city, raised the head on his waist and Zhang Yun's head, and shouted at the same time: "The traitors Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been granted, pass on the lord's order, open the city gate and let the eldest prince wait to enter."

Go see the lord! ”

The army was shocked when they heard this, and when they looked over, they really saw the level of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were the most powerful in Jingzhou, and the garrison and people in Xiangyang had seen them, so they naturally would not admit their mistake.

Seeing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, most of the soldiers laid down their weapons one after another, but there were hundreds of people who were loyal to Cai Mao who rushed to think of Wei Yan, Wei Yan smiled coldly, shouted, and commanded the army behind him to kill all these hundreds of people, and then opened the city gate to let Liu Bei and Liu Jian and others in.

Liu Zuo still felt very dizzy at this time, and Cai Mao, who had always regarded him as a thorn in his eye, cast like this. Before arriving at the Texas Pastoral Mansion, representatives of the Cutting Liang, Zhuo Yue and other families in Jingzhou were basically waiting for Liu Xiao in front of the Governor's Mansion, and then welcomed Liu Zuo into the Governor's Mansion together.

After Liu Jian entered the inner hall, Liu Bei, Fang Liang and the others secretly exchanged glances, although they did not speak, but everything was silent.

After Liu Di came out. But he said to Liu Bei: "Uncle, my father wants you to go in." Liu Bei nodded, pushed open the door and strode into the inner hall. Coming to Liu's bed, Liu Bei said in a condensed voice: "Brother Jingsheng, I'm here." ”

Hearing Liu Bei's voice, Liu Biao opened his eyes with difficulty, and sneered at Liu Bei: "What a Liu Xuande, you are really a good means!" Even the side brothers who have followed me for more than ten years have been convinced, amazing! Awesome".

Liu Bei's face was not unnatural at all, he just smiled: "If it weren't for Cai Mao, he would have harmed Brother Jingsheng." There is no such opportunity

Liu Biao snorted coldly and said, "They are all chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Brother Jingsheng, you're old!" You no longer have the pride when you rode into Jingzhou alone, this world has changed a lot, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid the Han family will overturn. Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao will not show mercy to their subordinates. ”

Liu Biao heard it, but it was silent. After a long time, he said to Liu Bei: "With Jingzhou in hand, can you be sure of reviving the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao are powerful, although the north of the two is not completely calm, but their momentum has been achieved, and Bei can only do his best." Even if you can't revive the Han family, you can still preserve the inheritance of the Han family

When Liu Biao heard this, he suddenly laughed, and pointed at Liu Bei with a smile and said, "Liu Xuande." Aren't you really old and confused, and the old man still knows what the situation in the world is. After speaking, he took a few breaths, and then continued: "You have to fulfill your ambitions, poor Jingzhou people are innocent!" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and shouted.

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled coldly and said, "Brother Jingsheng." You are old, Jingzhou will be controlled by me Liu Bei from today onwards. As for your two sons, if they are wise, you can spare them, or else, "Enjoy!" What you should know about the consequences. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and left. Behind it, Liu Biao's dry laughing voice came, and then said: "Qi'er doesn't know about this yet, I hope you let him go."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bei had already opened the door and walked out, looking at the people outside. With tears in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "Brother Jingsheng, he was stimulated to transition, but he was" but "crazy!" After saying that, big tears fell to the ground, and everyone shook their heads and sighed together.

Liu Zuo heard it, and was about to rush back to the room crying, Liu Bei grabbed him and taught loudly in the tone of an elder: "Your father is sick, the internal strife network has subsided, and the Sun family is attacking again, Jingzhou is the time of internal and external troubles." You are the eldest son of Brother Jingsheng, and this is not the time to be a child. You should immediately cheer up, take over the affairs of Jingzhou, and unite the hearts of the people inside to resist foreign enemies! ”

This was like a slap in the face for Liu Zuo, and Liu Jian immediately said to Liu Bei: "I recommend it, thank you uncle for mentioning it." The chair is still young, and he doesn't understand everything, so he hopes that his uncle can help Yan. ”

Liu Bei heard this, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wei has already promised Brother Jingsheng to assist you in becoming a talent." Thou shalt be in the dust, and shall immediately go back to bathe, change thy clothes, and prepare thy counsel with the people. Let's arrange it here. ”

Liu Zuo heard this, and replied: "In this way, Uncle Lao turned around and left."

When the people who knew the inside story saw this scene, their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Liu Bei, and they secretly said in their hearts at the same time: "This person is so powerful!" ”

After Liu Yan left, Liu Bei walked up to Cutting Liang and Cutting Yue, and said: "If there is no help from Zi Rou and Heterodu, Cai Mao's rebellion against the thieves will not be able to be pacified so quickly, and this matter should be credited to Zi Rou and Heterodu." Now that the eldest prince is still young, Zi Rou and Heterogeneous still need to mention more to the eldest prince

Cutting Zhen has already seen Liu Bei's power. At this time, I could hear what he said, and I still didn't understand the meaning of his words. Nodding and smiling: "Uncle Huang is serious, the eldest prince has the support of the imperial uncle, which is a good thing for the eldest prince and Jingzhou." Brother Liang and Brother Yue naturally did their best to help Uncle Huang

Liu Bei heard it, but he laughed, and then after being polite with everyone behind, he turned to the front hall together and waited for Liu Zuo to discuss important matters. After all, Liu Yan is still the nominal lord of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei knows that although he is in power now, he still has to pretend to be face-saving.

After Liu Bei and everyone left, only Liu Biao's helpless sigh came from the room. With Cai Mao being killed, the most trusted Fang Liang and Qiao Yue all took refuge in Liu Bei, and he no longer had any power in Jingzhou. This sigh seems so lonely, so down!
