Seeing the eyes of Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others, Zhuge Liang was speechless.

In these years, to be honest, no one believes it.

But it doesn't matter if they believe it or not.

After the greetings, it's time to get to business.

Liu Bei came all the way, of course, not really to reminisce. In today's north-south situation, Xinye's feelings are even more gloomy.

Now Cao Cao, Yin Xian is planning to go south.

Looking at the happy Liu Qi, Liu Bei put away all kinds of other ideas and started his miserable journey:

"Now that the virtuous nephew is in charge of Jingzhou, he should know that Cao Cao has been planning to go south for a long time, and he has sent troops and horses to attack Xinye, and Bei has barely won with a lot of effort.

Now that the strength is even more damaged, if Cao Jun attacks again, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop it.

There is no other meaning to prepare, but Xinye is short of soldiers and food, if the virtuous nephew can send some soldiers and horses over, it would be great, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants? ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Qi's expression was a little strange.

If he hadn't crossed over, he might have really believed Liu Bei's nonsense, but now he never believed it.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, if you want to say how exaggerated, it will not be enough.

But as far as Liu Qi knew, when Liu Bei ran away from Xinye, there would still be tens of thousands of people in the defeated army.

It can well be imagined.

Now Liu Bei has at least twenty or thirty thousand people.

This number is already very exaggerated, at the beginning, Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao was only a few thousand, and now it has developed to this extent.

If you add more bricks and tiles to him, won't you ask for trouble?

Although Liu Qi also believes that Liu Bei really wants to revive the Han family. But who will revive it and how it should be revived, it's hard to say, anyway, Liu Bei is not someone who wants to be a younger brother.

With the current situation, it is a good thing that Liu Bei has some strength in his hands.

in order to better prevent Cao Cao.

Regardless of other aspects, their goals are undoubtedly the same in the face of Cao Jun.

With thoughts surging in his heart, Liu Qi glanced at Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang's eyes also flashed.

Liu Qi suddenly understood, and said with a smile:

"Uncle's difficulty, Qi is naturally white, but the situation in Jingzhou today is not optimistic!

Now in Jingzhou, in addition to Cao Cao in the north, there is also Sun Quan in the east waiting for an opportunity, including Wuxi Man in Jingnan, and now Qi is also in a hurry, and I don't know how to deal with it! ”

How can Liu Qi not be white about throwing the pot?

Since Liu Bei came to sell miserably, the soldiers and horses must not be given, but if you want others to contribute, you must not be too stingy.

When Liu Qi saw Liu Bei's expression, he said:

"Uncle don't worry, although there are no soldiers and horses, but when it comes to food and grass, Qi can still support it.

Yi Qi estimates that Cao Jun's southward movement may be in the coming year. In addition to his uncle, there are still tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops in Jingbei, but Cao's army is strong, and the result is unpredictable. ”

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei also fell silent.

He actually has a lot of soldiers and horses.

Tens of thousands of people are already quite a large number of troops.

However, quantity does not mean quality, Cao Jun's combat power was practiced in successive battles, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao were allowed to fight hard, unless they had been arranged earlier, there would be no chance of winning.

Just as Liu Bei was thinking, Liu Qi said again:

"But please rest assured, although Qi is a mediocre person, as a member of the Han family, even if Cao Cao really comes, Qi will not surrender, and will live and die with Jingzhou, worthy of heaven and earth."

After saying this, Liu Bei was a little excited.

But looking back on his life, Liu Bei didn't know what to say, and he ran away countless times.

Liu Bei muttered:

"The virtuous nephew has a heart, Jingzhou has the blessing of natural dangers, even if Cao Jun goes south, he may not be able to achieve all the success."

Next to him, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and echoed:

"Liu Yuzhou is the uncle of the Han Emperor, and my lord thinks that he is a relative of the Han family, and now in the face of the army of Cao thieves, he should work together to resist the strong enemy, so that he can save the building."

And Xu Shu next to him also saw what Liu Qi and the others meant.

This is to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a common camp with Liu Bei, so as to avoid accidents at that time.

Whether Liu Bei ran away or Liu Qi ran away.

The Jingzhou defense line must have collapsed.

Xu Shu groaned and said:

"My lord, I think what the prince and Kong Yin said is very true."

Liu Bei got up slowly, nodded and said:

"Since the virtuous nephew has the heart to resist the thief, how can he have the gift of retreating, and he should defend Xinye to the enemy to the death."

Although Liu Bei has suffered a lot of defeats, with Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's lineup, it is not difficult to defend the city. As long as the Xinye defense line is stabilized, Cao Cao will not be able to drive straight down.

Of course, in addition to Liu Bei, Huang Zhong and Huo Jun are also Liu Qi's dependents. The soldiers and horses of the two roads each held the Jingbei intersection, and together with the Xiangyang naval army, they were already invincible.

In fact, in history, even if Liu Cong resisted a little.

It was not so easy for Cao Cao to take Jingzhou.

How can anyone surrender as soon as they meet?

But fortunately, the capitulation faction that took the lead, that is, Cai Mao and the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, have been resolved.

Everything is decided.

Liu Qi sent people to mobilize grain and grass and send it to Xinye City.

There is still grain and grass in Jingzhou.

Although he did not get the soldiers and horses as he wished, Liu Bei was also satisfied with the grain and grass supplement.

Then I went to see Liu Biao.

After resting for the night, he took people back to Xinye.

Liu Bei was really a little worried, if he stayed for a long time, Liu Qi would really swing the hoe to his side.

Before Liu Qi looked at Zhao Yun's gaze, Liu Bei was very familiar.

Isn't this exactly the same when he saw Zhao Yun's expression when he was under Gongsun Zhan, it was exactly the same.

On the way back to Shinno.

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu in a deep voice and asked:

"Strategist, what do you think of going to Xiangyang this time?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu said:

In addition to these grains and grasses, the most important thing is to determine Liu Qi's intentions, and he is already determined to resist Cao.

If you don't guess wrong, the lord doesn't want to leave! ”

Seeing through Xu Shu's thoughts, Liu Bei sighed and said:

"It's not easy to settle down in Xinye, if you want to leave again, where can you go?"

Xu Shu is also extremely solemn:

"Don't worry, the lord should also do his best to help."

He had received the news that Cao Cao had sent someone to send his mother back to Xinye, which was undoubtedly good news.

In fact, he knew Cao Cao's thoughts.

I was sure that I wouldn't go north, even if Cao Cao kept Xu's mother, it would be useless, so it would be better to send it back to Xinye.

may be able to mess with the hearts of himself and the lord.

Keep yourself from giving it your all.

But this is impossible, since Xu Shu chose Liu Bei, it is because of the ideal in his heart.

There are no worries, so you can come as you should!

What's more, if it weren't for Liu Qi's reminder, I'm afraid Xu Shu would have gone to Cao Ying and killed his mother.

Regret will be useless when the time comes.

Yes, this Cao Cao is decided, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei was also excited, and he was going to fight against Cao Cao again.

But this time, the situation is very different.
