The Jingzhou army tentatively scheduled to send troops in two days, where they would receive two days of training from Cao Chun's generals.

There is only one project, which can understand the drum beat and read the flag, so as not to scare away.

Kuai Yue looked at Huang Zu's reluctant expression and was angry, "General Huang, do you look at this like a bad thing?"

"Bad things can't be counted, and I'm not disapproving of this thing, I just can't get used to Cao Chun's face. When he came up, he gave us an order as if he was calling for his grandson, although we are generals, but we are also generals, and I don't know the soldiers under his account!" Huang Zu said in a sullen voice, "Zhang Jin's words are full of foul language, and he is completely out of shape, but the words that come out of his mouth are also better than Cao Chun's!"

Kuai Yue said angrily, "Since you also know that we are generals, you should be a little sure in your heart. He called out to us, and that was right, and it stands to reason that you and I are now both generals under his account, so what's wrong with him calling you and me?"

"Besides, it's true that our soldiers are uncompetitive and messy. Compared with the imperial army, it is completely a rabble. Besides, don't think that people are not favored, so you don't take Cao Chun seriously."

"This person is also from a pure Xiyuan, has been guarding the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, and is one of the generals who guarded against Yuan Shao before the imperial court. He doesn't recognize his six relatives, and it is difficult to get close to anyone, I guess it's probably because the generals of the Cao family are too willing in the court to avoid suspicion."

Huang Zu hissed lightly, raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then according to what you mean, we actually have complete hope......

He stretched out his finger and pointed upward, and said mysteriously, "We should have a chance to climb up, right?" Emperors should be good at checks and balances, and the generals of the Cao family occupy such a huge power in the army, after the world is unified, the emperor is not at ease, right?"

Kuai Yue chuckled and quipped, "You're thinking long enough, but you're right. Checks and balances are inevitable, but you must not underestimate Your Majesty's means of controlling people, and today's checks and balances are not so simple."

"Liu Yuanjun was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, ranking one of the Nine Qings, don't you understand? Doesn't that seem incredible? This is the emperor's checks and balances, a clan with a reputation for benevolence and righteousness is ranked in Jiuqing, and the emperor is estimated to be a little unhappy in his heart, but he has definitely made a profit."

"Liu Bei is ranked as the ninth king, blocking the mouths of the clan, blocking the mouths of the scholars in Jing and Xu, and also achieving checks and balances in the court. Compared with this purpose, the emperor can completely turn a blind eye to the things that Liu Bei did."

"If you don't say it so thoroughly, I can't really think of it." Huang Zu muttered, "The emperor is so young, how can the city government be so deep?"

Kuai Yue stretched his waist and said lightly: "The emperor's city is already deep, and now you don't look at who Shangshutai and the servants are, they can all play the conspiracy and calculation."

"I'm not telling you this, I'm not telling you to be on guard for anything, or I'm not telling you any questions. I'm telling you that if we want to become a pawn in the hands of the emperor to balance the important ministers, we must first be favored by the emperor! Our current achievements are far from enough."

Huang Zu's mind was suddenly unraveled, and he said convincingly: "Understand, I will go to practice, practice to the death!"

Zhang Ji didn't enter Xiangyang City, but Cao Chun calmly lived in the government office.

And asked Liu Bei to take him to see Liu Biao as soon as possible.

This incident made Liu Bei's heart beat a drum, but it was difficult to stop it.

Cao Chun is a person he can't figure out his temper at all, and he doesn't know what people think in their hearts.

Zhang Ji is very aggressive, straightforward in his words and deeds, and very easy to see clearly.

But Cao Chun, even if he stood in front of Liu Bei and spoke from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't see what kind of expression Cao Chun's face was on and what purpose he had.

What he asks and what he wants to do are sometimes two different things.

Liu Bei was a little apprehensive and took Cao Chun to the inner second courtyard of the government office, which used to be used for the officials to live.

outside

Noodles, Mi Zhu still guarded there with soldiers and horses, and did not relax because the imperial court soldiers and horses arrived in Xiangyang.

"It's very tightly guarded, and with this formation, it's hard for even a fly to fly in." Cao Chun passed by the heavily guarded soldiers, and suddenly said, "It's still iron armor, Liu Yuanjun should have spent a lot of money training this army and horses, right?"

Liu Bei sneered, thought for a while, and answered Cao Chun's first question first: "Although Liu Jingsheng set up a Hongmen banquet to kill me, he is an important minister of the clan after all, but I can't kill him at will, so I can only ask him to live here temporarily in this way."

"As for this army of soldiers and horses, it did cost some money, but it was all a lot of money. With my own ability, I can only afford a soldier with a wooden spear."

Cao Chun bowed lightly, "Liu Yuanjun will go north to Kyoto, this army should not be needed."

Liu Bei suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and felt that someone was holding a knife and preparing to cut his flesh.

Although he was reluctant to give up in his heart, Cao Chundu said it so bluntly, if he still held on to it, it would be obviously uninteresting.

"Bei General will go to Kyoto as an official, let alone these 1,800 people, even a dozen or so soldiers are actually useless." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Bei has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, and the soldiers who have spent a lot of money and money on training, if they are sent home like this, I think it would be a pity."

"If the general doesn't give up, why don't you ask the general to take them? I also know that this army is still far from the West Park Army under the general's command. But these soldiers are all young men in the prime of life, and their potential is still good."

Liu Bei said a lot in a twist and turn, but Cao Chun said, "No need, the imperial court has a fixed number of soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to increase or decrease them at will. You can leave them to Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, if you are worried that it is not fair, you can divide a few hundred people each."

Liu Bei: ???

He said so much in various roundabouts, but he waited for this?!

A depressing false alarm.

If this is the attitude, he would have said it earlier, and he still thought of a lot of explanations a hundred times.

He was originally going to keep this army for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as his own soldiers.

scolded and scolded in his heart, but Liu Bei still said very politely on the surface: "It's abrupt, since there is a fixed number of soldiers and horses under the general's command, then according to the general's will, these soldiers and horses will be distributed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so that they can take them to southern Xinjiang and establish meritorious services for the country."

"Hmm." Cao Chun replied lightly, raised his feet and walked into Liu Biao's room.

On the bed, Liu's surface is like gold paper and his lips are like wax, but he is awake.

但看起来他即便是转动一下眼珠，都好像格外的艰难。

"Liu Yuanjun, I was wrong, our whole family knows it's wrong, please let us go!" Mrs. Cai rushed out from the side with a cloak, grabbed Liu Bei's shirt and began to cry.

"Although it is wrong to poison the envoy, but the envoy has also seen through it, and he is safe and sound, and nothing has happened, but my husband is almost dead now, so why does the envoy have to toss our family to death?"

"Our family has borne this great sin. Even if there is a great resentment in your heart, it should be eliminated, right?"

Liu Bei pulled Mrs. Cai's hand away and said, "I won't kill you, don't worry."

Cao Chun glanced at it lightly and asked Mrs. Cai, "Was it your idea to poison?"

Mrs. Cai didn't know Cao Chun, but looking at the position between Liu Bei and Cao Chun, she probably had some guesses, and she rolled her eyes and said, "This general, how could it be my idea? How could I, a woman, do such a great thing? It's all ...... I can't persuade my husband to do so."

"He didn't really have much purpose, he just wanted to go back to Kyoto. This intention is actually not wrong, but I have always disapproved of what he did, and I think that even if he does not frame Liu Yuanjun, His Majesty will definitely allow him to go back. But he just didn't feel safe, and wanted to be reliable."

Liu Bei: ......
