Liu Biao, who was flustered, did not wait for the comfort and sympathy of others, and when he was angry, he actually heard a whispered report from the door of the house, saying that there was a messenger who claimed to be from the Jin Kingdom outside the door and asked to see him.

Liu Biao is not the kind of person who is kind of Yuan Shu, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, so he quietly asked the doorman to lead the person to a small hall where he met alone.

Liu Biao doesn't have to worry about his own safety, since he found out that his general Huang Zhong has a good martial arts, he always takes Huang Zhong with him when he goes out, and this time he has no exception to let Huang Zhong stand by his side as a guard.

After a short time, the guests who came to visit Liu Biao were led to the small hall by the door.

I saw that this person was tall and majestic, dignified, and a pair of tiger eyes were full of light, and he was extraordinary. After he saw Liu Biao, he clasped his fists and bowed, and then said loudly: "Jiang Zhongyi, under the tent of the King of Pingxi, pays a visit to Liu Zhoumu!"

Liu Biao had never heard of Jiang Zhongyi before, but since it was Zhao Xing's banner, and Zhao Xing sent someone to meet him during this sensitive period, he would definitely discuss very important matters, maybe it was related to the future and fate of Jingzhou, so Liu Biao did not dare to put on a lofty posture, but returned the salute very politely, and then said: "I don't know what General Jiang's position is in front of the king of Pingxi?"

Jiang Zhongyi also knew his identity and mission, and he didn't dare to make the slightest big deal, so he immediately replied: "The younger brother of Jiang Xu (Zi Boyi), the Taishou of Hanyang County, is now engaged in the subordinate of Jia Wenhe, the minister of Liangguo, and he is specially ordered by the military division to come to present a letter from the king of Pingxi to the state pastor, and ask the lord to open it himself!"

It turned out that this messenger named Jiang Zhongyi turned out to be Jiang Yan, the younger brother of Jiang Xu, the cousin of Yang Fu, the Taishou of Hanzhong. So who is this Jiang Jian? His family has a tiger-headed son, who is only four years old this year, and his name is Jiang Wei. In other words, this man named Jiang Zhongyi is the father of Jiang Wei, a famous general in the last days of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Biao unsealed Zhao Xing's handwritten letter in front of Jiang Yin, and then read it carefully several times, then raised his head in disbelief and asked, "Does General Jiang know the content of this letter?"

Jiang Jian replied: "I know a little bit about it, but I don't know everything." ”

Liu Biao asked again: "May I ask where is the envoy who came on behalf of the prince of Pingxi now?"

Jiang Jian replied: "Now that the land of Jingzhou is mixed, and there are many forces from all sides, in order to ensure the safety of the envoy, he has not come to Xiangyang in person now, but he will not come to interview the lord after the state pastor has really made up his mind and is willing to accept the assistance of the Jin State!"

Liu Biao nodded, and then said: "King Pingxi's actions are really unexpected and cautious, it is estimated that this time General Jiang came to my mansion, outsiders will not be able to identify your true identity at all." ”

Jiang Jian smiled indifferently, and then replied: "I can't comment on King Pingxi's actions, but the last general is really willing to stay and assist Lord Zhou Mu in defending Xiangyang this time." ”

Liu Biao then turned his head to Huang Zhong beside him and said: "Han Sheng, you will discuss with General Jiang to determine the matter of the special envoy of the King of Pingxi coming to Xiangyang, this matter must be kept secret, and no one else can know!"

Huang Zhong stepped forward to receive the order, and then led Jiang Jian out of the living room, arranged a secret residence in Liu Biao's mansion, and then the two discussed it specifically.

Huang Zhong asked Jiang Jian: "Please also ask General Jiang to clearly tell this envoy where he is now and how he is going to enter Xiangyang, and we can also accept it." ”

Jiang Jian replied: "The envoy is now in Fangling Port in Hanzhong County, as long as he receives a secret message from me, he will go down the Han River and go to Xilong Mountain to wait for the State Pastor to come in person and conspire together." ”

Huang Zhong showed a look of displeasure on his face, and retorted: "Lord Zhou Mu is now in danger of Jingzhou's safety, how can he risk himself and easily leave Xiangyang City?"

Jiang Jian was not angry, and said patiently: "General Huang, do you know how many secret agents and meticulous works there are in Xiangyang City today? What is planned this time is related to the future and fate of the Han Dynasty, and there can be no mistakes, if the Lord Zhou Mu doesn't even have this bit of courage, how will he resist attacks from all directions in the future?"

Huang Zhong stopped speaking, and acquiesced to Jiang Yin's statement. Subsequently, the two repeatedly deliberated and discussed the entire process of the secret meeting between the envoy of the King of Pingxi and Liu Biao, and finally came up with a plan that satisfied both parties, and then went to report to Liu Biao. Liu Biao did not object after reading it, and soon set a date for the final meeting.

A few days later, there was gossip in the Jingzhou pastoral mansion, saying that Liu Biao's illness had occurred again, and several famous Taoist masters were invited to exorcise evil spirits, and the Taoists said that if Liu Biao wanted to avoid this catastrophe, he had to go to Xilong Mountain, thirty miles west of Xiangyang City, to pray for blessings.

Since the Taoists have said so, then we have to try it anyway to know, if Liu Zhoumu's illness is really cured, it will be a great achievement! So Huang Zhong, the commander of Liu Biao's personal guards, led 5,000 elite infantry to escort the dying Liu Zhoumu to Xilong Mountain, and all the suspicious people encountered along the way were all arrested, and the hunters and mountain people who went in and out of the mountains were also driven down the mountain.

After some arrangement, Liu Biao finally met the envoy of Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, in a temporary grass house on the top of Xilong Mountain.

Liu Biao didn't expect that this envoy turned out to be a young junior, but after some conversation, he immediately changed the contempt that was originally hidden in his heart. The future life in front of him is not simple, not only is he extraordinary, but also his thinking is very clear, he knows the general trend of the world well, and a few simple words explain the dangerous situation Liu Biao is in now.

The envoy asked Liu Biao with a calm face: "Has Liu Gong ever made up his mind?"

Liu Biao replied: "The envoy does not need to doubt, since I dare to come to see you today, it shows my determination!"

"Okay, since this is the case, I will return to Xiangyang with Liu Gong and assist Liu Gong in guarding the land of Jingzhou, so as not to let the coveted people succeed!" said the envoy with a solemn face.

Liu Biao said with some suspicion: "I still can't see where Jingzhou's chance of victory is, the special envoy enters Xiangyang, in case it falls into the hands of the enemy, won't he fall into a dangerous situation?"

"The governor is in charge of himself, rest assured, the lord has already seen the situation inside and outside Jingzhou clearly, as long as you always have the determination to defend Jingzhou, the king of Pingxi can try his best to ensure that Jingzhou is not lost! Since I and General Jiang dare to stay in Xiangyang, we naturally have absolute confidence in the lord. The envoy replied very confidently.

This is the end of the secret meeting, in addition to Liu Biao, the people who accurately know the inside story are Huang Zhong and Jiang Yin, as for the envoy who is still unknown, he pretended to be a pawn under Huang Zhong, mixed with the soldiers who went down the mountain and entered Xiangyang City together.

The method of the people of Niubi Dao really worked, and Liu Biao, who returned from praying for blessings on Xilong Mountain, was really cured of a serious illness, not only his face was full of red light, but also swept away the yin and owl qi of the previous period, and he became energetic and high-spirited!
