Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei no longer persuaded him.

Everyone took a short break in the wine shop and rushed to Xiangyang with the local products of Wancheng.

Liu Biao was very surprised when he heard that Liu Bei came to give gifts, but when he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also coming along, he immediately understood that Liu Bei was here to explain.

It's already happened, what's the use of explaining?

Can I just fix the trouble?

Wancheng's native products are not unusual, but if he doesn't hit the smiling person, Liu Biao immediately set up a banquet in the house.

Although Liu Biao tried his best to avoid Zhang Lu's matter, Guan Yu forcibly opened his mouth at the banquet, saying that he had been staying in Wancheng, and Wancheng's army had never been to Wudang.

"Yun Chang's name moves Huaxia, I think there must be a traitor who frames him, but that Zhang Lu may not be able to be screened"

Before Liu Biao's words were finished, Liu Ye took over the conversation with a smile and comforted: "The prince of the mansion does not have to worry, if Zhang Lu is separated by Cao Cao, the envoy will lead troops to enter Wudang and block the enemy in the northwest for Jingzhou." ”

"Xuande, is that so?"

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei with a happy face, and said in his heart that he was really a good vassal who was informed and interesting, and he was much more obedient than Zhang Xiu at the beginning.

"Zhang Lu with the power of a county in Hanzhong, to attack Jingzhou is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, I expect him to bluff now, unless Sun Quan and Cao Cao attack Jingzhou at the same time, then it will be possible to get a piece of the pie, so I plan to bring two thousand soldiers and horses into Wudang, and then send an envoy to Zhang Lu's army to say that it is powerful, then this danger can be solved by itself."

"Xuande's words are very good, but Jingzhou and Jiangdong have too deep grievances, Sun Quan will definitely avenge Yuzhang's revenge, and Cao Cao spent so much effort to instigate Zhang Lu to send troops, maybe it is really to plot Jingzhou, if Xuande takes away part of the defenders of Wancheng, will it not be dangerous for Cao Cao to attack south?"

"With Yuan Shao in the north and Sun Quan in the south, Cao Cao will not attack Jingzhou at this time, but if he really takes the main force of Xu Du to the south, Wancheng will not be able to stop it without dividing his troops, and he will need his brother to transfer troops to help him at that time."

Now that the information between Wancheng and Hefei is connected, Long Xiang will 'make trouble' in Huainan as needed, so Liu Bei is not worried about Cao Cao going south at this time, but the preventive injection must be given to Liu Biao in advance, and Liu Bei is not able to block the main force of Cao's army now.

Liu Biao must affirm: "Xuande is really resolute in doing things, in fact, there is no need to let Yun Changqin explain, can't I trust you as a brother?" ”

Liu Bei clenched his fists and replied: "Since the matter involves Yun Chang, he is also the governor of the northern part of Nanyang, so it is natural to report to the higher officials, and besides, there is a heavy snow in the first month, and Wancheng has no important defense, so he should also come to pay homage to his brother at this time." ”

"Xuande is polite, Yun Chang has a heart."

Liu Biao listened very helpfully, drank a few glasses of wine with a few people, pointed at Liu Ye and said with a kind face: "During the time you left, Qi'er often talked about Ziyang, this child is rarely so studious, and Lao Ziyang has to mention more." ”

"The prince is polite, I and the eldest prince learn from each other."

While Liu Ye gave his hand to respond, he gave Liu Bei a look, signaling that the other party could act according to the plan.

Liu Biao's intentions were very clear, he intended to keep Liu Ye in Xiangyang, and wanted to slowly train him to become Liu Qi's staff.

Whether Liu Qi will serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong in the future, or inherit his will to take over Jingzhou, he will need the help of a think tank like Liu Ye.

This is the price of sending people under the fence, Liu Bei must agree at this time, Liu Biao intends to break his 'wings' to prevent him from becoming the next Zhang Xiu.

Liu Biao didn't know that Liu Bei was new to the military master Xu Shu, so Liu Bei and Liu Ye would make a plan.

Receiving Liu Ye's eye prompt, Liu Bei immediately showed reluctance.

"Brother, I rely on Ziyang's strategy, if Zhang Luzhen leads his troops to attack, Ziyang will go to Wudang with me?"

"Yes."

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and bowed his head, and then added: "Now that the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the upper reaches of the Han River should be frozen, so it is not too late for you to wait for Zhang Lu to send troops and then go to Wudang to fortify." ”

"The words of the prince are very true."

Liu Ye suddenly nodded and quipped: "But at the same time that Zhang Lu entered the army, Sun Quan also raised troops to commit Jiangxia, and Huang Taishou also asked for someone from Fujun, so I can't divide it into two."

"I'll say it first."

Liu Ye interrupted Liu Bei, and then made a suggestion: "I heard that Jingxiang is a lot of handsome people, so that you should take advantage of this time to be free and go to find more talents to help, what do you say?" ”

Liu Bei and Liu Ye sang double reeds, which overwhelmed Liu Biao on the table.

What does the heart mean by Liu Ye? It was me and Corporal Qi'er Lixian who moved you, so you didn't want to give advice to Liu Bei? Happiness came so suddenly.

"Zi threatens to be reasonable, Xuande should go more."

Liu Bei was at a loss, and then looked embarrassed: "This Jingxiang's virtuous talents are all prepared for my brother, how can I dare to prepare him."

"Haha." Liu Biao smiled and comforted: You and my brother also, everyone said that we would help the Han family together, if Xuande can invite a virtuous talent to come out of the mountain, my brother will be happy for you from the bottom of his heart. ”

Liu Bei shook his head gloomily: "The key is not easy to seek talents, I don't even know the name."

Liu Ye deliberately reminded: "Have you ever heard of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks?" Although these two people are very young, they have a good reputation among the Jingxiang scholars, and they are said to have talents through the heavens and latitudes, and I also heard about them recently when I passed by the school. ”

"It's the first time I've heard of it."

Liu Bei pretended not to know, but turned around and asked Liu Biao: "Brother is guarding Jingzhou, should he know about Wolong and Phoenix Chicks?" Do they really have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth? Can you go and get two? ”

"Amount"

Liu Biao was stunned at first, and then said: "Wolong is Zhuge Kongming, and Feng Xiao is Pang Shiyuan, but whether he has learned through heaven and earth, it takes time to slowly verify, but Pang Shiyuan is from the Pang family in Xiangyang, and he should have arrangements for the outing, and Xuande intends to find Kong Ming."

"But I don't know where the Wolong family is."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Liu Biao interrupted him: "Speaking of which, Kong Ming and I are still related, but I don't know where he lives, so I'll help you ask my brother later." ”

"Thank you, brother."

"Xuande doesn't have to be polite."

Liu Biao was very hesitant, he was not afraid that Zhuge Liang would be invited out of the mountain, but he felt that Zhuge Xiaonephew was crazy, how could anyone take care of it and compare himself? Liu Biao was afraid that Kong Ming would be rude in front of Liu Bei, but when he saw Liu Bei in front of him with a lost face, he decided to give him some comfort.

When he went home at night, Liu Biao told his wife Cai that he learned that Zhuge Liang was paying New Year's greetings at his wife's house, so he asked Liu Bei to wait in Xiangyang. (Zhuge Liang's mother-in-law, that is, his wife Cai's own sister)

After living in Xiangyang for half a month, Liu Biao informed Zhuge Liang that the province had ended, and suggested that Liu Bei could go to Wollongong to ask for a meeting.

Liu Bei then bought gifts in the city, and visited the thatched house with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although Huang Yueying returned home on time, Zhuge Liang visited friends on the way home.

The gift was still refused, but it went into the thatched courtyard, and the boy accepted the prayer post.

After two failed attempts, Zhang Fei raised his whip angrily on the way back and hit the newborn weeds on the side of the road.

Guan Yu approached Liu Bei and reminded in a low voice: "Big brother, this Zhuge Liang is not here, could it be that he learned that we were coming, because he didn't live up to his name, so he deliberately avoided it?" If this person is really like Xu Junshi's boast, why doesn't Liu Biao use it himself? ”

"Liu Jingsheng may not know his talent, maybe there are other considerations that can't be used, don't forget that Feng Xiao is two years older than him, isn't he also white now?"

Liu Bei was the lord of Xuzhou, and he knew that the state pastor could not cover the sky with one hand, and sometimes for the sake of political balance, he had to surrender his own interests.
