Zhang He sneered: "Back to the master? My old master was Han Jizhou, Yuan Shao seized the state and county with a plan, and later forced him to kill, I had to follow it, Guandu he did not obey our advice, and finally ended in a fiasco, do I still have to fill his life? ”

"Bah." Liu Pi spat out a ball of saliva and reprimanded sharply: "You first abandoned Han Fu from Duke Yuan, and then turned your back on Duke Yuan to vote for Cao Thief, to put it bluntly, you are all greedy for life, but you are still so eloquent?" It's shameless. ”

"Anyway, you've fallen into a desperate situation, it's impossible to leave, am I greedy for life and afraid of death, don't you know if you come up and try?"

Zhang He held the iron spear in his right hand and stared ahead, although it was not yet winter at this time, his cold tone was as cold as frost and snow.

Liu Pixie's land is quite wide, and Zhang He has almost completed the circumambulation with many horses, and there is indeed no chance to escape.

Seeing Liu Bi frowning and pondering, Zhang He crossed the spear in front of him and said coldly: "Liu Bei was driven from Xuzhou to Hebei, and we drove him out of Runan twice, what future does he have with him?" When a dog is chased? With your little skill, it will be a dead word sooner or later to follow the big-eared thief, isn't it good to live? ”

Liu Pi asked rhetorically: "Live without dignity like you?" ”

"Dignity? Strength is dignity. ”

As soon as Zhang He's voice fell, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in his heart that you are just a yellow turban thief, and you came to talk to me about dignity? So he pointed the gun forward and asked sharply: "Finally, I will give you a chance, either dismount and surrender immediately, or bury yourself here, you must understand your identity, what Liu Bei can give you, Cao Sikong can give you more." ”

Liu Pi looked disdainful: "Really? There are some things you can't understand, Uncle Huang gave me the feeling of being a hero, aren't you and Cao Thief just like dogs, being teased by me for several days? ”

"You're killing yourself!"

Zhang He shouted at the same time, Liu Pi had already taken the first step to raise a knife and suddenly came, although he was born in the Yellow Turban, spurned and despised by the world, but in Liu Bei got dignity, but also experienced the coolness of being a hero.

There is a huge disparity in martial arts between the two sides, although Liu Pi tried his best, he was still defeated by Zhang He and died, but the corners of his mouth rose when he swallowed his breath.

Although the body is falling, there are no regrets.

Zhang He can't understand Liu Bi, just like others can't understand Guan Yu, fame and fortune are close at hand, why is he desperate for Liu Bei.

After completing the task of 'guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit', Zhang He immediately withdrew to Langling to find Cao Hong to restore his life, and Guan Yu, who stayed behind, found that the enemy had left the valley and sent scouts to find out that Liu Pi was killed in battle, and finally he could only chase after the front army with sighs.

A few days later, 50,000 soldiers and civilians met in Biyang, and the group marched along the mighty river, ending in the Hanshui to Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou.

Not long ago, Sun Qian sent an envoy to Xiangyang, and Liu Biao showed an accepting attitude towards Liu Bei, but the news from Biyang was shocking, and the people from Runan were more than the population of the county.

Liu Biao suddenly regretted it after hearing this, but it was easy to ask God to send God, so he immediately summoned Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to discuss countermeasures.

"Liu Bei deliberately deceived his brother-in-law, this time he must have come to Jingzhou, but most of the soldiers in Jingzhou are in Jingnan and Jiangxia, and there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Xiangyang. Cai Mao seemed to be ready to speak, and as soon as Liu Biao opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the state and county chiefs had to cooperate with the local authorities if they wanted to get things done.

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone that year, cooperated with the local Cai Kuai, Pang and Huang four wealthy families, and finally sat firmly in the position of Jingzhou pastor.

After the situation in Jingzhou stabilized, the various forces divided the fruits of victory, and Cai Kuai and Pang Huang naturally benefited the most, Cai and Huang were in charge of Jingzhou's military affairs, and Kuai and Pang were in charge of Jingzhou's government affairs.

As the so-called peers are enemies, the Cai and Huang families are harmonious on the surface, but they are also fighting openly and secretly because of the entanglement of interests.

Two years ago, Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu in Jiangxia, not only taking thousands of warships, but also capturing tens of thousands of people in Jiangxia, leaving the east gate of Jingzhou empty.

If Jiangxia is lost, there will be a threat to the whole of Jingzhou, and in order to prevent Sun Ce from advancing westward, Liu Biao asked Cai Mao to send troops and horses to Jiangxia to assist in the defense.

Although Cai Mao was reluctant, he also agreed to transfer troops for the sake of the overall situation.

Now Jiangxia's defense is still being rebuilt, but Sun Ce's unexpected death last year has given Jingzhou a sigh of relief.

Cai Mao wanted to turn back to his own part several times, but Huang Zu had already eaten the meat in his mouth, but he was unwilling to spit it out easily at this time, the external threat from Jiangdong was still there, and the actual situation in Jiangxia was still poor, so there was always a reason to prevaricate.

Liu Bei suddenly appeared with 'heavy troops', and provided Cai Mao with an excuse in time, in fact, he was the first to know the news of Biyang, and he also knew that Liu Bei's 50,000 people were not all troops, but he deliberately wanted to cause tension to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao knows his brother-in-law Cai Mao very well, so he won't believe his words, and he said in his heart that we can't be generous? Always thinking about Jiangxia's three melons and two dates?

After pondering for a moment, Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue: "Xeno, what do you think?" ”

Kuai Yue looked left and right, and quipped: "In matters of military affairs, the lord still discusses with Deju, how can I have any right to speak."

Liu Biao said with a smile: "This is a bad statement, as the so-called horses have to eat grass, and soldiers have to eat food, how can the military and the government be completely separated?" If you really want to fight against Liu Xuande, you also need to dispatch money and food. ”

"Well, this one."

Kuai Yue heard the sound outside the strings, because if he agreed to Cai Mao's transfer of troops, Liu Biao would not come to ask him at all, and he seemed very embarrassed at this time.

It is said that Huang Zu is the anti-Cao faction in Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are both pro-Cao factions, so they should stand on the same side and fight side by side, but at this time, it is an internal competition among the wealthy families in Jingzhou, and helping Cai Mao will provoke the dissatisfaction of the Huang family.

Seeing Kuai Yue's hesitation, Cai Mao hurriedly intercepted the words: "Brother-in-law, Liu Bei travels thirty miles a day, you have to make up your mind early, it will be too late to transfer troops."

Liu Biao said: "Xuande came from afar, even though there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, but there is no logistical supply, with the solidity of my Xiangyang city, how can he seize the city?" I don't think he's so unwise. ”

"Brother-in-law is right, Liu Bei came from afar, and no one provided logistical supplies, but those tens of thousands of mouths always have to eat, and it is not okay to turn into a rogue."

At the end of Cai Mao's words, she deliberately looked at Kuai Yue, as if to remind the other party that the rogue will cholera and people's livelihood, and that is your business.

"Xuande is also a clan relative after all, and it is always harmful to Jingzhou when the soldiers meet, so I will send someone to inquire about the situation first."

Liu Biao rubbed his forehead, he had been fighting for several wealthy families for a long time, and the mental pressure was not ordinary, and then he stretched his sleeves and got up and sank into the back hall.

Cai Mao immediately came to Kuai Yue's side and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you say a word?" Don't you know what Liu Bei is like? He has opposed Cao Sikong many times, and staying in Jingzhou must be a disaster. ”

"What the lord said is not unreasonable, we still salute first and then soldier, and don't talk about fighting." Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao and reminded earnestly: "Liu Xuande's subordinates have the confidence to win?" ”

"Uh" Cai Mao was stunned.
