Liu Biao's words are at this point, and it is inappropriate for Liu Bei to refuse again.

Remembering that the newly collected 3,000 soldiers were still in Xiangyang, he felt that he had to send them to Wancheng to be his own, so he hugged his fists and responded: "Thanks to my brother's trust, I am willing to help Huang Taishou for the overseer, I don't know when my brother plans to send troops?" ”

Liu Biao thought for a while and replied: "Jiangxia warships are lacking, and some need to be transferred from Xiangyang, and relevant military supplies must be prepared, which is estimated to take nearly a month."

"That being the case, I want to go back to Wancheng, and I plan to ask Yun Chang and Yide to meet the two ladies by the way."

Liu Biao's invitation just now could not be refused, and Liu Bei's current answer still could not be refused.

It was easy to prevaricate on military and political issues, but it was understandable for him to ask to go back to see his wife.

Liu Bei has no heirs in his forties, and he has not returned home for more than half a year, Liu Biao can't keep Liu Bei in Xiangyang all the time, let alone hinder the other party from continuing his bloodline.

"There is still enough time, Xuande is gone"

Liu Biao couldn't urge yet, and promised to come down and worry that Liu Ye would go back together, so he immediately added: "Qi'er has made great progress recently, I heard that Ziyang's family is not in Jingzhou, he won't go with Xuande, right?" ”

"Since the eldest prince can't do without, let Ziyang continue to stay."

If you put it aside, you must be hesitant, but Liu Bei got a new military advisor Xu Shu last night, so he didn't worry that no one around him would discuss countermeasures, so he was very generous and agreed.

After leaving the state pastoral mansion and returning to the post house, Liu Ye saw that Liu Bei's expression was wrong, so he jokingly asked: "Could it be that Liu Jingzhou won't let you leave?" ”

"It's a little more complicated"

Liu Bei frowned and shook his head slightly, and told Liu Ye the content of the conversation he had with Liu Biao in the afternoon.

Liu Ye also frowned after hearing this, and analyzed with his beard: "This year, Sun Quan and Cao Cao fought in Huainan, Liu Jingsheng never thought of sending troops to take revenge, and now that the war has ended for more than two months, he suddenly has a plan to use force, and there must be villains instigated by it." ”

"Ziyang is talking about Cai Mao and Kuai Yue?"

"It is inevitable that Cai and Kuai will spread the word, but once Jingzhou and Jiangdong go to war, the beneficiary can only be Cao Cao, so this has nothing to do with Xu."

"Hiss"

Liu Bei took a deep breath: "Listening to Ziyang's analysis, I feel a chill in my back, but why do you want to take me?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head slightly: "Anyway, it's nothing good, although Sun Ce died young, but there is still Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, Huang Zu may not be able to win, I am worried that Cai Mao will borrow Jiangdong's knife and want to be unfavorable to the envoy."

"Coco, I've agreed."

Liu Bei was afraid for a while at this time, he originally excused himself for not practicing water warfare, but Liu Biao said that Huang Zu was good at water warfare, but he was slightly inferior in land combat, so after landing in Yuzhang, Liu Bei needed to mention it beside him.

"Don't worry, promise to promise, after all, you haven't set off yet, let me think about it."

Liu Yeyan got up and paced in place, and after a while, he said: "During this time, I live in Xiangyang, and I have some understanding of Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, although Huang Zu is Liu Jingsheng's cronies, but the relationship with Cai Mao is relatively tense, Huang Zu will not listen to Cai Mao's instructions, as long as Liu Jingsheng does not kill the envoy, then this trip may not be so bad." ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "I can feel Brother Jingsheng's jealousy, but if you want to say that he has bad intentions towards me, it shouldn't be enough."

"It's hard to think of a way to get out in a hurry, Xu Yuanzhi's talent is not under me, so that Jun can ask him for a plan again, in short, you go back to Wancheng first, and tell General Guan not to be impatient, it is not a good thing to anger Cao Cao too much, I will try to let the eldest prince help, maybe let the envoy withdraw"

Seeing that Liu Ye didn't have a good idea, Liu Bei sighed and said, "Okay, if Ziyang's family is in Wancheng, maybe they can leave this time, do you want to find a way to take it over?" ”

"No need, they're safe in Hefei, hiss."

Liu Ye suddenly had a spirit, whimsically said to Liu Bei: "If you can really attack Yuzhang with Huang Zu, you will have a good chance to contact Hefei, this year due to the barrier of Guanshan, there has been no exact news of Hefei, I really miss the original night talk with Yunqi and Zijing, and everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures."

"Yuzhang is also quite far away from Hefei, I am afraid that it is not easy to get in touch, and the Jiangdong naval army is very strong, once the Yangtze River is blocked."

Liu Bei's words did not continue in the end, but Liu Ye smiled happily and said: "I can't take the waterway and take the land route, I heard that Cao Cao emptied the Lujiang River after the war, as long as he threw a few scouts in the north of Peng Lize during the attack on Yuzhang, Zhou Yu could not be blocked in the waterway." ”

"I'm not familiar with the terrain of Huainan"

When Liu Bei frowned and shook his head, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Fei had a southern Huai song, and when he was about to continue to add it, Liu Ye suddenly grabbed the conversation.

"It's really not good, why don't I go on the expedition on behalf of you? Anyway, Liu Jingsheng only needs to be a counselor of the military aircraft, so that you don't have to show your face in Yuzhang, and you won't offend Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and you can find a way to get in touch with Hefei. ”

"No, no." Liu Bei decisively refused: "Fighting together, there will inevitably be dangers, how can Bei be trapped in danger?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Is it powerless for me to be a chicken?" Not only Xu Yuanzhi knows swordsmanship, I used to know a lot of archery and horses in Huainan, and there is no problem with self-protection on the battlefield. ”

"But."

Liu Ye interrupted Liu Bei: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, why don't you discuss it carefully with Yuan Zhi?" Also listen to the views of our military advisors. ”

"It's okay, I'll discuss it with Yuan Zhi."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Liu Ye, and reminded him: "During the time we left, don't make any claims, the eldest prince should listen to you, but don't let him admonish Brother Jingsheng, then it is easy to guess that it is you." ”

"I can save it." Liu Ye bowed slightly.

After Liu Bei and Liu Ye finished explaining, they took Xu Shu and his mother to Wancheng.

When he was halfway to camp and rest, Liu Bei called Xu Shu to a secluded place, and told Liu Biao that he wanted to send troops to Jiangdong, Liu Ye proposed to go on his behalf, and the matter of Hefei was revealed.

Xu Shu's face didn't change when he heard the first half, but he was stunned when he learned that the famous Hefei Longxiang turned out to be Liu Bei's person.

Knowing that Uncle Huang had a secret, he didn't expect the secret to be so big.

With such a big backhand in Cao Cao's rear, it seems that the emperor's uncle is very promising in the Central Plains, and he finally has the opportunity to show his talents.

Seeing Xu Shu stunned in place, Liu Bei reminded in a deep voice: "The matter of Hefei should be kept secret, few people under my command know the truth, and it is not good for me and Yunqi to leak it." ”

"I know the weight, General Long is of great use." Xu Shu nodded solemnly.

Liu Bei asked: "What did Ziyang say about that incident?" Although Yunqi defends Jiangdong for me, I don't want to be an enemy of them at the moment, no matter what Yuzhang's victory or defeat will be in the future, I only hope that Ziyang is safe and sound. ”

Xu Shu thought for a while: "I think it's feasible, now Liu Biao and Cai Mao are staying in Xiangyang with Ziyang, just because they are worried that he will give advice to the lord, if he doesn't make achievements under Huang Zu's account, maybe they can weaken the vigilance of the two." ”
