Cai Mao knew everything about Liu Bei's tens of thousands of people, but he couldn't tell Kuai Yue the truth, he was worried that Kuai Yue would turn around and tell Liu Biao that he would not be able to transfer troops from Jiangxia.

The two left the state pastor's mansion with the front foot, and Liu Biao sent Yi to see Liu Bei with the back foot.

can run errands and solve the problem with his mouth, Liu Biaozhen does not plan to use knives and guns, injuries and anger.

The Iraqi man ran alone for several days, and finally met Liu Bei's army in Huyang, which was upstream in the water.

It was already sunset, and 50,000 soldiers and civilians were preparing to camp.

Sun Gan went to Xiangyang last time, and he had a relationship with Iraq, and now he has become his introducer.

Liu Bei and Liu Ye were walking by the river, and when they heard Sun Gan calling to stop, they saw him and a stranger coming side by side to meet the sunset.

"Lord, this is from Iraq, Yi Jibo, and I am here on the orders of Liu Jingzhou."

"I've seen Uncle Huang."

At the same time as Sun Qian's introduction, Yi immediately gave a salute.

Liu Bei returned the salute courteously: "It turned out to be Mr. Jibo, the camp has not yet been built, and Mr. Aggrieved is standing and talking." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was extraordinary and courteous to himself, Yi Ji suddenly had a good impression of him, so he bowed his hand and was modest: "Uncle Huang is really polite." ”

Liu Bei knew the intention of the Yi nationality, and immediately got straight to the point:

"Why is Uncle Ji here?"

"The lord asked me to take the first step and see what the imperial uncle needs." As soon as Yi Ji's politeness ended, he immediately went straight to the topic, and he sighed meaningfully: "Just now I traveled with Gongyou, and I felt that the surroundings were densely packed with people, and there seemed to be more than 10,000 people here in Uncle Huang."

"Haha."

Liu Bei looked at Liu Ye and smiled, as if to say that you guessed correctly, and then said to Yi Yuan:

"It's a shame to say this, there were originally only more than 10,000 parts, but it turned out to be more than 50,000 family members, and I don't know how to explain it to Jingsheng, but since ancient times, the people have been the foundation of the state, and there are tens of thousands of ordinary people in Jingzhou, Jingsheng must not refuse, right?"

Yi Yuan passed by just now and found that there were women and children in the crowd, and they must not all be soldiers, but he couldn't make decisions for Liu Biao, so he changed the topic and asked: "Uncle Huang plans to take them all to Xiangyang?" ”

"My guests are as they are pleased, and it is all up to Brother Jingsheng to arrange." After Liu Bei answered, he added: "Listening to what Uncle Ji just meant, it seems inappropriate?" ”

Yi Zhi nodded his head: "After all, Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou, how can 50,000 people be settled at the same time?" I'm afraid that the people in the city will still panic. ”

Liu Bei Zhengse echoed: "What Uncle Ji said is very true, I don't know if Brother Jingsheng can explain?" ”

"It's all because I was in too much of a hurry to get out of the city, and I forgot to ask the lord clearly"

Yi Yuan first took the blame on his head, and then proposed to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang might as well slow down his pace, let me rush back to Xiangyang and ask clearly, what do you think?" ”

"Also"

When Liu Bei was about to answer, Liu Ye suddenly grabbed the words: "Mr. goes back and forth for six or seven days, it's really too hard, I have a good way here, which can save a lot of foot effort." ”

"This is"

As soon as Yi Ji came, he noticed Liu Ye, this person and Liu Bei are also rich and noble, but they are much younger, so they preconceived guess that he is Liu Bei's nephew.

Liu Ye suddenly 'faux pas' to steal the words, and Yi naturally wanted to ask Liu Bei for clarification.

"Hahaha" Liu Bei smiled and introduced to the Yi nationality: "It's all because I didn't introduce it in time, this is Liu Ziyang, a famous Jianghuai scholar, and he is also a relative of the Han family." ”

Yi Yuan was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted Liu Ye: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"Courtesy, sir."

Liu Ye returned the salute, continued the topic just now, and suggested: "Uncle Ji sent messages back and forth, if Liu Jingzhou forgot to explain something, wouldn't you still be busy?" It's better to let the envoy and Liu Jingzhou discuss face-to-face. ”

"Negotiable? How is it negotiable? Yi Yuan looked puzzled.

Liu Ye added: "Mr. just said that it makes sense, tens of thousands of people can't all go to Xiangyang, just let them wait in place, and then let Jun go to Liu Jingzhou with Mr., wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?" ”

Yi Yuan looked at Liu Bei in surprise and confirmed, and said that Uncle Huang really has such courage? Aren't you afraid of going and not going back on this trip?

Liu Bei was convinced of Liu Ye, grabbed Yi's hand and said solemnly: "What Ziyang said is very good, and I can't bear to work hard."

Yi Yuan was caught at a loss, he felt Liu Bei's enthusiasm, and also appreciated the other party's extraordinary courage, but he couldn't make decisions for Liu Biao.

After some thought, Yi Zhengse replied: "This is more than 200 miles to Xiangyang, I don't know how much time it will take for Uncle Huang to go here, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians may not be able to do without your constraints, so let me go back to Xiangyang first to ask for instructions, and I can return within a few days." ”

Liu Bei wanted to answer, but considering that Liu Ye might have something to say, he signaled the other party to go back and forth.

Liu Ye bowed slightly, then took over the words of the Yi nationality, and said: "Uncle Ji is reasonable, if Liu Jingzhou stays as a guest for too long, the rations of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians will be cut off, and I have the best of both worlds, which can save time on the road." ”

Yi Yi waved his hand: "Mr. Ziyang, please speak." ”

Liu Ye bent down to find a dead branch nearby, held the dead branch and drew a circle and line on the soil, and explained while drawing: "There are two hundred miles between Huyang and Xiangyang, and only one side is allowed to walk too slowly, and the two sides will act quickly together;

The envoy left the main force in Huyang to wait, and led a team of guards to continue forward, while Mr. Ji Bo went back to the city to invite Liu Jingzhou, and then the two sides found a place to meet in the middle, how about it? ”

"That's a good idea, but I'm going to go back and ask for advice."

Yi nodded in affirmation, and hurriedly asked Liu Bei for his resignation: "Without further ado, I will return to Xiangyang overnight to report, Uncle Huang has a good rest here for a night, and then set off early tomorrow morning, but be sure to settle these soldiers and civilians." ”

Liu Bei warmly retained: "Uncle Ji has worked hard all the way, why don't you rest here for the night, and let's set off together tomorrow morning?" ”

"No, it's better to get down to business." Yi hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Liu Bei didn't insist on staying for a while, and then ordered Sun Qian to send the Yi out of the camp.

On the way out, Yi Ji happened to see two strong men mighty, and when he asked, he knew that they were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he silently noted the appearance of the two, and then whipped the horse into the night.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also saw Yi nationality, and then the two came to look for Liu Bei together, and heard Liu Bei and Liu Ye discussing from a distance.

"The difference between our forces before and after is too big, Liu Jingsheng is really unhappy and suspicious now, and I don't know if he can be relieved when he goes back, if Jingzhou can't tolerate us, our food can't support us for too long."

"Now that the wood has been completed, Zhang Xiu was able to stay, and you will definitely be able to stay, but if you want Liu Jingzhou to relieve your doubts, you need to make Jun treat people sincerely."

"It's always true to be honest with people."

"I know that the envoy is a person, but the Jingzhou generals don't know, so you have to show them, I suggest that this time be lightly dressed, the best guards should not exceed 100 people, and several generals will also stay in Huyang to take care of the military and civilians, let's go to see Liu Jingsheng frankly."

"Very good."

As soon as Liu Bei was about to make a decision, Zhang Fei rushed up and shouted: "It's not good, I don't agree!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was stunned, the night was dark at this time, and he didn't notice Guan Zhang approaching.

Zhang Fei glared at Liu Ye, and then reminded Liu Bei: "The eldest brother only brought a hundred guards, and he didn't let us follow. ”

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Liu Jingsheng is the pastor of a state, known as the head of the Eight Horses of Jingxiang, how can he do this, Ling and his second brother stay in Huyang, to restrain the army and the people not to make trouble, you are my brother, and my brother wants to share my worries." ”

"Me"

Zhang Fei couldn't say anything about Liu Bei, so he secretly pulled the corner of Guan Yu's coat and signaled the second master to persuade him as well.

Guan Yu immediately hugged his fists: "Big brother, then Liu Jingsheng may be able to treat each other sincerely, but when I heard Gongyou come back from Xiangyang, I once said that Cai Mao had a lot of complaints about our arrival in Jingzhou, if he wants to be a sword-dancing Xiang Zhuang, he deliberately arranged an ambush killer."

Liu Beishan held Guan Yu's fist, patted it lightly with his other hand, and then said seriously: "It's okay, let's still listen to Ziyang's suggestion, let Liu Jingsheng clear his doubts first, as for the safety of the meeting, my swordsmanship is enough to protect myself." ”
