Chapter 270: Liu Bei's panic
The news of the failed assassination returned to Nanjun, shaking the entire four counties of Jingnan.
After all, the matter of Wei Yan's defeat and capture has not been dealt with yet, and now there is such a thing, which makes many people dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang.
Later, it was reported that Liu Biao sent a messenger to Nanjun to meet Liu Bei.
This made Liu Bei very puzzled, and also made him very uneasy, he gathered all the strategists under his command to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and he relieved everyone.
Pang Tong was on the side, and he also helped persuade Liu Bei, and he calculated that Liu Biao must have sent envoys for the four counties of Jingnan this time.
Liu Bei was even more panicked when he heard this, and now the newly occupied territory has not been completely stabilized.
If in this case, Liu Biaofei asked him to hand over the four counties of Jingnan, then he really didn't dare to say no.
Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that now he has a good plan, so Liu Bei doesn't have to worry.
Two days later, Deng Xi came to the Nanjun Mansion, and Liu Bei led his ministers to greet him outside the mansion in person.
If it were someone else, he might have been deeply moved by Liu Bei's approach.
"The lower officials pay a visit to Liu Yuanjun."
Although Deng Xi is in a high position, Liu Bei, as a prince, does not dare not give him face.
Liu Bei was very enthusiastic, he took Deng Xi's hand and invited him to the mansion for a banquet.
It's just that Liu Bei did not exchange Deng Xi's pity for such a performance, but let Deng Xi see Liu Bei's nature.
Hypocrisy, viciousness, hypocrisy, and the city is deep.
Such a person cannot intersect with him.
Otherwise, if he sells him, you will still say good things for him!
Thinking about the five hundred dead soldiers, Liu Bei said that he would abandon them, and there was no sadness in his eyes at all.
Everyone ate and drank in Shanghai, and Deng Xi was not in a hurry to say the purpose of the trip, he looked at Zhang Fei and others with great interest, guessing and gambling there.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they both saw Deng Xi's extraordinary.
This is a fierce rival, but I have never heard of such a number one person around Liu Biao.
"Ahem, that... Lord Deng, I don't know what happened when Brother Jingsheng sent you here? ”
In the end, Liu Bei couldn't hold his breath, ignored the look Zhuge Liang gave him, and asked Deng Xi.
However, Liu Bei didn't notice that the moment he spoke, all the ministers under his command showed a look of disappointment.
Deng Xi smiled slightly, he looked down on Liu Bei again in his heart.
This kind of heart can only be shown in front of Liu Surface.
Deng Xi took out a secret letter from his arms, handed it to Liu Bei and didn't say anything, continued what he had just done, and occasionally applauded.
Liu Bei opened the letter and read it carefully.
It's just that the content above is just every word, which makes Liu Bei even more frightened.
Liu Bei thought for a while, but still didn't understand, handed the letter to Zhuge Liang, and asked the other party to help come up with an idea.
Liu Bei still didn't understand how Zhao Yang knew that he would assassinate him.
According to the above account, he also knew that all these things were a trap designed for him, but he did not know who was responsible for this scheme.
"Junxi, is what is written above really mean Liu Jingzhou?"
After Pang Tong finished reading it, he dragged Deng Xi over and asked him face-to-face, and Liu Bei also stared at him directly.
Deng Xi didn't care much about Pang Tong's unreasonableness, after all, he was a descendant of Pang Degong, and Deng Xi had to give Pang Degong face.
Since Pang Tong asked, he didn't plan to hide it, and directly told Liu Biao's original words to Liu Bei and others.
He also reminded Liu Bei that Zhao Yang had already told Liu Biao about your plot against Xichuan yesterday.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei and the others were no longer calm.
Occupying the four counties of Jingnan and seizing the entire Yizhou is a good policy and strategy formulated by Zhuge Liang for Liu Bei's future development.
Mole!
It was an idea that popped into the minds of both of them at the same time.
Zhuge Liang told Deng Xi to go back and tell Liu Jingzhou that they would not occupy Jingnan for a long time.
As long as Liu Bei is given a year, and then he takes the Brazilian County of Yizhou, he will definitely return the four counties of Jingnan.
Deng Xi doesn't care, anyway, he's just a messenger, as for how to deal with this matter, it depends on Liu Biao's meaning.
Liu Bei saw that Deng Xi accepted the proposal, and let him breathe a sigh of relief.
Deng Xi's task was completed, he got up to say goodbye to Liu Bei after eating and drinking, Liu Bei just wanted to stay, but he didn't admit that Deng Xi turned around and left directly.
This made Liu Bei just hold back what he was about to say.
"Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, how can I deal with Liu Biao's attitude this time?"
Liu Bei called Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to the study on the side, and the faces of the three of them were a little sad.
Zhao Yang's trip to Xiangyang made them so passive, of course, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both knew that they still didn't plan it properly.
Set aside Liu Qi and plot to seize Xichuan.
I don't know what went wrong when things were good.
This time they were caught by Liu Biao, they were indeed a little powerless, neither of them answered Liu Bei's words, and sat there frowning and thinking about countermeasures.
After Deng Xi returned to Xiangyang, he was directly called to the study by Liu Biao for questioning.
He told Liu Bei's remarks as they were, and Kuai Liang on the side told Liu Biao that this was Liu Bei's plan to destroy him in a false way.
Liu Biao didn't understand what Kuai Liang meant.
Kuai Liang explained to him that Liu Bei had such an achievement not long after he arrived in Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei is really given another year, then the four counties of Jingnan will be completely controlled by him, and then the people will only have Liu Bei and no Liu Biao in their hearts.
Even if the last two swords face each other, in the eyes of the people of Jingnan, it is not to subdue the four counties, but to invade nakedly.
Even if Liu Bei was driven away in the end, only the four burdens of Xiangyang and Centrifugal Departure were returned.
Liu Biao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, after listening to Deng Xi's words just now, he wanted to agree to Liu Bei's request.
"Fortunately, Xenodu is by my side, otherwise it would have left irreparable hidden dangers for me Jingzhou today."
Liu Biao took Kuai Liang's hand and praised him very gratefully, and Kuai Liang complimented him very modestly, which made Deng Xi a little envious.
However, Deng Xi asked Liu Biao for his resignation, and Liu Biao thought he was tired, so he agreed without thinking about it.
When Deng Xi left the mansion, he first returned to his mansion and told his family to pack up his things and wait for news from him.
He walked quickly to the Imperial Xuan Pavilion, and it happened that Zhao Yang and the others had also packed up and were about to leave here.
Deng Xi hurriedly stepped forward and explained the reason to Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
This made everyone stunned.
Unexpectedly, his lord is now already famous, and he actually subdued two civil and military officers when he came to Xiangyang.
They stepped forward one after another and greeted Deng Xi warmly.
This made Deng Xi feel very comfortable and warm in his heart.
Zhao Yang asked two guards to follow Deng Xi in a carriage and go back to pick up his family.
Zhao Yang took people out of the city directly and waited thirty miles outside the north gate of Xiangyang.
This trip to Xiangyang, no matter what happens in the end, Zhao Yang believes that the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao will never return to the original state.
Liu Bei wants to seek Xichuan in the future, and it is estimated that he will not be able to let go of his hands and feet.
Half an hour later, Deng Xi took his family and came to the place where Zhao Yang was waiting to meet.
Zhao Yang did not pause anymore and immediately ordered to return to Chang'an.
This time he decided to fight with Liu Bei for control of Yizhou.
