"Ahh......h Alas...... How can this be a good ......?"

Liu Biao was lying on the bed, and Cai Mao was standing not far in front of him, his face solemn and at a loss.

"Lord, if you descend to Cao to protect your name and glory, it is not impossible, if you want to fight, you must immediately rush to help, but that Nanyang Xinye City is almost all Liu Bei's land, and there may be chaos in the garrison, and Liu Bei is good at escaping, he will definitely let our Jingzhou soldiers and horses go to die in order to protect himself."

"Over the years, don't you know, Liu Bei often asks for food, and his desire is difficult to fill, he has recruited tens of thousands of troops and horses in the local area, and the local people are bewitched by him, and they are willing to enter the camp and sell their lives."

"This is his ability," Liu Biao sighed weakly, "his person is based on benevolence and righteousness, and his reputation is outside, and no one in the world knows that Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and loves the people, and he is a rare good official." ”

Cai Mao didn't make any evaluation, and was silent about it, Liu Bei's heart, many people should be grateful.

What he wants is not only fame, but also the people's support, strong soldiers and horses, and a lot of fierce generals under his command, these are all the capital to conquer the territory.

In addition, there are a lot of scholars in Jingzhou, maybe he really has a chance to occupy half of Jingzhou in the future.

Liu Biao glanced at him deeply, and said weakly: "You want to surrender to Xu Du, right?" ”

"No, no, no......" Cai Mao immediately smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "The lord blames me, of course I obeyed the lord's orders, but I feel that I can't send troops to help Liu Bei." ”

"This is a waste of troops, we should make good use of soldiers and horses in order to deal with Cao's continuous southern expedition."

A few days ago, Liu Bei had written several letters asking for help to Xiangyang, and he had already found that the Cao army in Wancheng, Anding County, and Fancheng was increasing, and if he ignored it, it was likely that after a period of time, he would have to come to the city and encircle Xinye.

asked Liu Biao to send reinforcements as well, and Liu Biao had readily agreed, but when he was discussing, he was blocked by these civil and military forces one after another.

Huang Zu, Wen Ping and others are not here, and Cai Mao is basically in charge of the hall, so other people can only echo it, and the public is angry, and Liu Biao plans to think twice for a few days.

If it weren't for Cai Mao's blocking, tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and horses would have been dispatched to Xinye from all over now.

The garrisons of each county in Jingzhou have their own garrisons, and there are also local famous generals who are ready to move, intending to compete with the north.

"Wasted troops? Do you mean to let Xuande resist Cao Jun by himself? ”

Liu Biao's face was slightly red, and he was so angry by Cai Mao's words that he was restless and didn't say anything, and he was still a little blocked by qi and blood.

How can you say such a thing? Liu Xuande was outside to resist the Cao army for us, it was hard work, and giving me some grain and grass has already made me feel ashamed, not to mention supporting the troops, I should also send troops to respond. ”

Liu Biao said excitedly, and coughed several times very uncomfortably, which made Cai Mao dare not say anything more bluntly, just a strong laugh.

After all, in addition to the relationship between the lord and the minister, the two are still in-laws, and Liu Biao has taken care of him quite a lot over the years, and he also has kindness and recommendation.

Don't disobey too much in person, otherwise you will be criticized and recommended in the future.

"This, that's it...... Alas, my lord. ”

Cai Mao felt unwilling, "How can our troops support Liu Bei, we can't defeat the Cao army ourselves, if we lose our troops, how can we hold other counties." ”

"Moreover, Liu Bei has been asking for military rations, and he must have hoarded a lot now."

"There is no need to support grain and grass anymore, and, the lord looks, when Liu Xuande was stayed, he originally planned to let him garrison in Xinye, at most to govern Nanyang, and then resist the Cao army for us, and now that the Cao army is here, it should also be the time for him to serve, how can we spend troops again? This is not in line with what was originally said. ”

"Alas!"

Liu Biao let out a long sigh on the bed, saying that he was unwilling to send troops and food to support Liu Bei.

is so chilling, what the people of Nanyang will say about him, I don't know.

Liu Biao couldn't speak, he felt that it was absolutely impossible to make Cai Mao succumb with his might now, he now controlled a lot of military power, and he enjoyed a lot of voice in Jingzhou.

They can only give orders when they send troops, and as long as they don't agree all the time, they may not be able to do anything as the lord.

This time, it is estimated that he will be stopped again, and it is impossible for him to make another decision.

For Liu Qi, most of the important ministers and confidant generals around him have been transferred to Jiangxia, and the price brought by this is to let Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others' soldiers and horses occupy Xiangyang.

Now, on the contrary, Liu Biao has lost power.

Now, it depends on whether Xuande can block Cao Cao's vanguard soldiers, they are hoarding in Anding, Fancheng, and Wancheng, and they must wait for the opportunity to attack.

And it was Cao Ren, a famous general of the Cao family, who was extremely comprehensive in his use of troops, good at attacking and defending, and won the hearts of the army.

Among the civil and military forces in Jingzhou, the fame is not small, and it can even be said to be a powerful general.

……

Shinno, in the middle of the inner city.

"Strategist!?"

"Strategist! There are enemy troops stationed in Fancheng! It's less than a hundred miles away from our army! It's time to get arranged! ”

"The military advisor must show his skills in this battle, and he is looking forward to using his strategy! Army-division? ”

Liu Bei strode into the main hall and found that it was empty.

When he came back from the barracks, he found that the military advisor was not in the barracks, and he must be above the main hall, but now he didn't even see anyone.

After looking around, there were only a few guards guarding all over the mansion, but they didn't know when they asked.

"Where's the strategist!?"

Liu Bei looked at the guards blankly, of course, the guards also looked strange, because just a few hours ago, the military advisor had already made it clear that he would go to the barracks.

"Lord, isn't the military advisor in the barracks?"

"What? So, the military advisor has been out a long time ago, right? ”

Liu Bei reacted in an instant, feeling empty in his heart, he was a little flustered for a while, and his brows tightened and pondered.

The military advisor is not in the lobby, and he is not in the barracks.

There was no trace of him in the city.

"Find! Send someone to find it immediately, in the territory of Nanyang, you must find a place for the military division! ”

"Whoa!"

All the guards immediately dispatched and passed the order out, searching for the whereabouts of the military advisor Shan Fu in various parts of the city, until the sun set that day, and never found any news.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also in the barracks, dispatching hundreds of cavalry to search along the way, but they also found no trace.

Liu Bei didn't find out until late at night that there was a letter in his inner courtyard, which he had left.

After seeing the letter, Liu Bei was struck by lightning.

"Xu Bowen! It's Xu Bowen again! ”

Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, and found that there was Xu Zhen's shadow here, so he sat down in the stone steps of the courtyard in a dejected manner, and he had nothing to love.

I feel that I can't get out of his shadow in this life.

In the letter, it was clearly written that Xu Bowen controlled Shan Fu's mother, so he had to go back.

And he is not called Shan Fu, his name is Xu Shu.

It was a person from Yingchuan who killed someone in the township back then, so he had to escape and handed over his mother to a friend to take care of, but what he didn't expect was that it now fell into the hands of Xu Zhen.

And he already knew that he was in Xinye, so he kept threatening with letters, but he didn't do much to harm Liu Bei.

I just found out a lot of news about Xiangyang.

"Lord!"

When Liu Bei was reviewing this extremely long letter, Sun Qian had already walked in quickly, of course the news was not found, but someone seemed to watch the horse go north.

When he said it, Liu Bei sighed deeply, and even handed out the letter to Sun Gan with a somewhat desperate face, motioning him to take a look.

After Sun Gan finished reading it, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Cangtian, this Xu Zhen is really powerful. ”

"His hands and eyes are all over the sky, he even knows this Mr. Xu Shu in Xinye? How do you know? Could it be that we have Xu Zhen's secret agent around us? ”

Liu Bei stood up, pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back with a solemn face, thinking a lot, thinking about everyone.

"Yun Chang and Yide will be impossible, Chen Zhi lives and dies with me, of course, he is also his own person, Xianhe is the same, he has followed me since he was a child, although he is the first to be friends with Xu Zhen, but he will not betray me."

Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said loudly: "Lord, although he is a native of Xuzhou, he knows that Xu Zhen was benevolent and righteous back then, and he was kind to the soldiers and people of Xuzhou, but he is absolutely loyal to the lord, and there is absolutely no half-heartedness, please be enlightened!" ”

"Oh, I didn't mean that, Gongyou doesn't have to worry so much, I just said that there shouldn't be Xu Zhen's internal response by his side, he knows these things, and maybe there are other spies."

"There is no need to talk about this matter," Liu Bei waved his hand, his face was bitter, and he sighed one after another, he couldn't figure out why this person always had a way to make himself uncomfortable, just because he provoked him in the first place?

"Gongyou, do you really have a deep hatred with Xu Bowen?"

Sun Gan smacked his lips, and immediately said: "When the lord was in Xudu, he once worked with Dong Cheng to secretly design this chariot general, I think with Xu Zhen's character, I am afraid it will always be remembered in my heart, these years, when we pay attention to Xu Bowen, we also understand that he is a person with clear grievances, and will never forget." ”

"He attaches great importance to kindness, so the same is true for grudges, not to mention, now the lord and Xu Zhen are their own masters, and they are in a hostile stage."

"Moreover, the scholars of Jingzhou ruined Xu Zhen's reputation, and constantly slandered and ridiculed his life experience, and this matter also has a sense of being promoted by the lord, since the beginning of Guandu, he has already been an enemy, why should the lord ask such questions again?"

There's no need to worry about him, it's already a never-ending situation, and now Xu Zhen's status is not as good as it was back then.

Back then, if he was only a substitute for 2,000 stones, and he didn't have the background of a family behind him, he would have used true affection and kindness to win him over, and it was possible for Xu Zhen to follow him and go with him for a great cause.

But now, he has long been under Cao Cao, faintly holding on to the bull's ear, the military and civilians in Jizhou and Bingzhou must be at his disposal, if it is not still under Cao Cao's courtiers, I am afraid that he is now a major prince in the north.

The Cao family will not easily make enemies with Xu Zhen, and this kind of status is also remarkable.

How it compares to the year.

It's a bit ridiculous to still miss the so-called love of the past.

"Then he can insult me at will! My military advisor!! How many years! How many years have passed!! I finally found someone! ”

"This person is a great Confucian in Jingzhou, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and countless Confucian students continue to teach and teach, plus his own talent is extremely high, so he has only cultivated a great Confucian master! Well versed in the art of war and internal affairs! ”

"I haven't even seen what art of war he knows now! I'm so good to him, why did he leave me!! ”

Liu Bei suddenly shouted loudly, and it seemed that he was really uncomfortable.

Not only did he hate Xu Zhen for secretly holding someone else's mother hostage, making him an internal agent of Xinye, but now he also blamed Xu Shu, he didn't tell him about these things, but he had to go secretly.

"Why did he leave secretly! Won't I send him away? My Liu Xuande's mind can't tolerate a Xu Shu!? ”

Liu Bei drank bitterly, so that Sun Qian didn't know what to say for a while.

He was furious for a moment, then strode into the inner room, closed the door, and looked at the shadow on the door, which was sitting behind the desk, and seemed to be quiet, not knowing what he was doing.

Motionless.

Only the candle flame flickered, and the shadows trembled.

Sun Qian looked outside for a long time, and couldn't help sighing, but he didn't dare to leave, so he could only stay outside.

Liu Bei is very good, but he offended a lot of people in Xu Du at the beginning, and offended Cao's clan relatives and Cao Cao's advisers, especially Xu Zhen, if it was good for him, it was indeed good.

But that was to win him over, and after knowing that he couldn't shake his heart, he naturally turned to layout and planning, transferred him out of Xu Du, cooperated with Dong Cheng to relieve Xu Zhen's duties as Jin Wuwei, and installed hundreds of dead soldiers around the Son of Heaven.

Of course, that time's layout, after Xu Zhen came back, was forcibly dismantled, and at the same time caused Dong Cheng to be humiliated and beaten by Dian Wei.

Liu Bei is hidden in it, but Xu Zhen should know it.

In this way, it is not a sad thing to be wooed by Xu Shu by him, because they don't owe anything to each other at all, if it is to help Xu Zhen form a marriage.

To be honest, Sun Qian didn't feel any heavy kindness, after all, Cao Cao had already repaid this kindness to Xu Zhen, and the lord himself also said that "brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes", why bother to let people remember this kindness all the time.

This state lasted until Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned from outside.

Zhang Fei, who had a loud voice, scolded as soon as he came in, "What a hell!" If this is not a plan, I don't believe it at all! ”

"What kind of bullshit military division is this, he hasn't done anything when he arrives here, and I haven't seen him march and fight! It's nothing more than an order to plough the fields, and when you slip away, it's straightforward! ”

"It must be that Cao Jun is menacing, and he knows that he doesn't dare to fight! So run and run! ”

"Oh, second brother, what's that sentence called? It's not a human being! ”

Guan Yu scolded, "Third brother, don't say much, go see the eldest brother first." ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Fei's face was ugly, his fists were clenched, if he saw that Shan Fu again at this moment, he would definitely go up and grab him by the collar and ask for clarity.

Why did he have to live up to his eldest brother's heart?

But soon, Liu Bei in the house shouted, "Second brother and third brother, come in immediately, there is something important to discuss!" ”

"Huh!"

The two glanced at each other, their eyes quite surprised.

Together with Sun Gan, who was standing in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that it didn't sound like the desperate and decadent feeling before, but now he could hear it full of anger.

What's going on again?!

Is the lord in the house already figured it out?!

So strong inside?!

The corners of Sun Qian's mouth twitched.

Seriously, if I had experienced such a thing, the military advisor I had in mind would have been taken away so sincerely and without the slightest suspicion.

I'm afraid I won't be happy for half a month.

Sorry, it's almost the New Year, I've been shopping outside, and I've been shopping out, and I've come back to start updating one after another! Today's update will never be less, you guys wait for a while, more and more, rush to rush
