Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 504 - Cao Mengde's Pride!

Problems have arisen again on the battlefield in Nanyang, as the latest rising force in Jingzhou.

Then Liu Xuande can really be called the four big characters of "what everyone expects" now.

The difference from history is that today's Liu Xuande is stronger and more imposing, but the foundation.... It's also weaker...

Compared with Liu Xuande in this period of history, Liu Bei in this time and space lacks many failures, and Liu Xie's appearance seems to have changed his fate from failure after failure.

The Battle of Huaisi, the Battle of Huainan, the Battle of Jingzhou, the First Battle of Nanyang, the Second Battle of Nanyang...

The successive victories made Liu Bei even get rid of his title of "not good at the art of war", and he can be regarded as a number of figures in Jingzhou and even in this world.

Even Cao Mengde now does not dare to underestimate Liu Xuande, who is becoming more and more powerful.

In the past few years, Liu Xuande has not only lived in Jingzhou, but also seems to be following the looming imperial court behind this person.

Let's say that they are together, but this Liu Bei has given full play to the role of a mercenary, whether it is to conquer the Cao army of Nanyang County, or to help Liu Biao take Nanyang County back and defend it.

Or when he moved to Jiangxia County, a naval army fought out of scratch on this river, and he never lost an inch of Jiangxia's land.

even helped Huang Zu stabilize the situation, and even helped Huang Zu save his life and soldiers.

In this regard, even if everyone knew that he and the court seemed to be a little unclear, he and the little emperor Liu Xie definitely did not completely tear their faces.

But Liu Biao was reluctant to throw Liu Bei away like this.

After all, in the huge Jingzhou, he couldn't find a second mercenary more suitable than Liu Bei to help him stabilize the internal and external situation in Jingzhou at that time.

His clan relatives and his henchmen can no longer control Cai Mao and others, and Cai Mao's power is deep-rooted, and it is becoming more and more majestic At the same time, Liu Biao has to prepare early.

And Liu Bei's appearance gave Liu Biao a chance, so that Liu Biao could use Liu Bei to restrain Cai Mao and others and continue to stabilize his power.

But this situation, coupled with the outbreak of the Battle of Hebei and Liu Xie's desperate efforts, led to Liu Bei curbing Cai Mao and others.

But he also lost all his shackles, allowing his reputation in Jingzhou to grow dramatically, not to mention recruiting countless heroes.

What's more, those young talents who have ambitions in their hearts but can't get ahead in Jingzhou are also willing to fight to the death because of Liu Bei's appearance.

At the very least, it would be good to be used as a springboard under Liu Bei's command.

After all, who in this world doesn't know, he Liu Xuande is kind-hearted, even if he does not do well under his command, he will definitely not control the other party's family and so on like some people.

They will not obstruct or even directly attack them in every way.

Liu Bei will directly choose to send them away, and even try to help them have a better way out, even if they don't say anything bad in the future.

With this character, just this past, who is not willing to join this young military hero in Jingzhou?

If you really do a good job, you can get what you want here in Liu Bei, so you will continue to follow him without thinking about it.

Thousands of years later, I am indispensable to go down in history, and I was told that so-and-so was really as wise as a torch back then.

And even if he didn't do well with Liu Xuande and couldn't get what he wanted, it didn't matter.

Because he could completely turn around and leave, and then go to a better place under Liu Bei's gift, it wouldn't have any effect.

The most important thing is that it can also ensure that your talents can be fully developed, and even if you find a new lord in the future, you can let yourself have something to say, right?

In this case, more and more Jingzhou heroes and junjie joined Liu Bei's command, and even Liu Biao's own command.

Those who had obviously come out of Liu Biao couldn't help but throw themselves into Liu Bei's arms, which made the jealousy in Liu Biao's heart deeper and deeper.

In the end, Liu Biao also became jealous of Liu Bei!

But at that time, his jealousy no longer had any meaning, and Liu Bei's power had become....

After so many years of tossing, Liu Bei has long been different, and he quickly dispatched troops to win this big battle under Pang Tong's suggestion.

While capturing Xiangyang, although he didn't get Kuai Yue and the others and Liu Cong, the Mu of Jingzhou, this also made it impossible for those guys to continue to rely on their identities to do anything.

Liu Bei helped Liu Qi up, making Liu Qi the second Jingzhou pastor of Jingzhou, and he himself supported Jingzhou in the name of assistant.

In this way, Liu Bei guaranteed his reputation, and at the same time stabilized those who took refuge in Jingzhou, letting them know that nothing had changed.

At the same time, he also won over Liu Pan and other Jingzhou generals to consolidate his position again.

And with Liu Qi covering him outside, Liu Bei has really been at home in Jingzhou all these years.

But this relaxed environment collapsed the moment Cao Mengde arrived.

The moment Cao Mengde entered Jingzhou, he immediately understood how the chaos in Jingzhou should be broken.

He didn't aim at the endless fight in Wancheng, the county of Nanyang County, like Xiahoudun, nor did he fight against his opponent like everyone else.

Cao Mengde directly saw through the biggest problem in Jingzhou.

"Liu Xuande must have some connection with the little emperor, and this little emperor may have come to the land of Jingzhou and wants to disturb the situation in Jingzhou.

The old man had already gotten the news before, Zhao Yun, who had just entered the garrison of the Hongnong Army, had left, and now he got the news that Zhao Yun had killed Mancheng!

It seems that the little emperor plans to send some soldiers and horses to attack first.

In the previous battle of Xiangyang, even though Liu Bei was prepared, and the Pang family was behind it.

But Jingzhou is also the place where Cai Mao has been planning for many years, and it would be too ridiculous if it was so simple to be blocked in Jingzhou.

If the old man's guess is correct, this Cai Mao will definitely be at the moment when he gets Jiang Xia's movements.

Immediately send someone to contact the old man, and at the same time, he will also dispatch soldiers and horses to fight with that Liu Bei.

But although the old man received the news here, the news was obviously a few days late!

The most important thing is that Cai Mao's reinforcements did not arrive when the news was late, so he was besieged and killed by Liu Bei in the city of Xiangyang.

This is his Cai Mao's negligence, and it also shows that someone betrayed Cai Mao's order together at a critical moment for many generals and colonels in Jingzhou.

You say... Who else in the world has such ability? ”

Cao Mengde said these words with a smile on his face, and at the same time looked at the strategists around him.

Sure enough, after Xun You and Guo Jia, who had just recovered from a serious illness, stopped talking, the latest strategists in the Cao army stood up one after another.

First of all, Jiang Ji, who was under Cao Mengde, coughed lightly, and then stood up and saluted Cao Mengde slightly.

"Cao Gong forgive me, Ji feels that what Cao Gong said is very true.

Although Liu Bei is called the emperor's uncle by the world, everyone in the world knows that this is just the little emperor's means to win over Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty, this is not false.

But this identity... Hahahaha....

Age is also in line with it.

Although Liu Bei is famous in Jingzhou, this Liu Jingsheng has just passed away after all, and although Liu Jingsheng made many wrong choices in the later stage.

But there is no doubt about this ability.

Not to mention anything else, this Liu Jingsheng is at least quite capable, and he has been deeply rooted in Jingzhou for so many years.

There may be a lot of places for him to fall apart.

But this lieutenant colonel, he has been grasping very tightly!

With such a person, even if he is dead, how can the generals under his command be easily mobilized without Liu Jingsheng's tiger talisman?

If there is one person who can be mobilized, then it is definitely not him Liu Xuande, but Liu Xie, then... That Han Emperor, Liu Xie!

Cao Gong, now that the little emperor has come to Jingzhou, and if he wants to do this, he must also come in person.

Otherwise, just relying on some means, some envoys may not be able to move those generals in Jingzhou.

So this is Liu Xie's means, but it is also an opportunity for us to wait! ”

Jiang Ji is the "old man" next to Cao Mengde, although he was not as early as Xun Yu Xun You and Guo Jia and others when he joined, but this guy's age is not much different from the other party.

Therefore, he is worthy of him as an "old man".

This guy was born in Yangzhou County, and he was originally just a small official, if he wants to get through, if he wants to get through, if it is normal to say that every ten or twenty years, it may be very difficult.

But this person is very talented, and secondly, there are still many capable people under Cao Mengde.

Coupled with the successive appearances of this talent seeker, the talents under his command are like a blowout.

At this time, Jiang Ji was recommended to Cao Mengde's side by his superiors, giving him a broader stage.

At the same time, because of the appearance of Jiang Ji, the strategists under Cao Mengde finally avoided the problem of lack of success.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Houhe, Guo Jia and others, either getting older, or taking the overall situation, or not in good health, or like this Cheng Yu, he has some problems.

In short, these people can't always follow Cao Mengde's side, and Cao Mengde needs these people very much to help him with advice.

At this time, Jiang Jihe joined Dong Zhao under his command before the Battle of Hebei, as well as the appearance of Na Sima Lang and others, which greatly relieved his pressure.

It also made Cao Mengde start to attach great importance to these people....

This time, the reason why Cao Mengde is like this is also because he wants to take the school for them.

However, the result is very obvious, this Cao Mengde's strength is not bad, and he can serve as a military strategist under Cao Mengde, and his talent will not be much worse.

Jiang Ji can sit here, and even become the person that Cao Mengde pays attention to, and that is even more outstanding.

He recognized Cao Mengde's words, but instead of parroting, he reconfirmed the news from another angle.

These words made Cao Mengde very satisfied.

At the same time, it also made other people secretly cry helpless in their hearts, and let this guy take the lead.

After getting Jiang Ji's "recognition", the smile on Cao Mengde's face became even happier, and even the expressions of everyone seemed to have changed a little.

This scene fell into the eyes of many people, but some people also felt a burst of happiness with Cao Mengde.

But there are also people who feel a wave of unease....

For example, Xun You and Cheng Yu, who were among the military divisions in the army this time, couldn't help frowning slightly when they looked at Cao Mengde's slightly changing expression.

It's just that Xun You's brows quickly calmed down after a slight wrinkle, and then returned to normal as if nothing had happened just now.

But Cheng Yu on the other side couldn't help but stand up.

But just as he was about to make a move, a big hand that had not been very strong appeared on his arm, and then pulled him to prevent him from being impulsive.

Cheng Yu, who has a strong figure, can even be said to be a general, and he looked behind him along the somewhat pale palm, and immediately saw Guo Jia, who was the same as a tuberculosis ghost.

At this moment, his brow furrowed even more seriously.

If he thought before, Cheng Yu felt that as long as he used one force, he could directly throw this guy away, and then it was not impossible to throw this guy out.

After all, Cheng Yu felt that he had been following Confucius's posture.

Even if his temper and virtue are not as good as that person, this figure and strength have to follow the posture of others.

And Guo Jia, saying that he has no power to restrain the chicken, this is indeed a bit excessive.

But this guy has been hollowed out by wine all these years, and Cheng Yu feels that it is not a problem for him to beat him three or five by himself.

But, that's Guo Jia.

Cheng Yu didn't want to really beat him out, and he would be very uncomfortable at that time....

"Guo Fengxiao, what are you doing here!" Cheng Yu couldn't help but get angry when he looked at the guy who was pulling him alive and not letting himself move, and looked at Guo Jia and scolded angrily in a low voice.

"What to do... What do you say Guo is going to do? Guo Jiacai looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and there was no good color on his face.

On the one hand, he pulled this guy to prevent this guy from being impulsive, and on the other hand, he quietly came to Cheng Yu's side and asked softly in his ear.

"Cheng. Cheng Gong just now planned to stand up and say something to Cao Gong from time to time? ”

"That's nature!" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, and his appearance really meant "not angry and self-authoritative", "The old man is a conspiracy by Cao Gong's side, so he naturally has the obligation to advise!"

You guys don't want to open their mouths one by two, don't you let the old man speak? ”

"....." Guo Jia looked at Cheng Yu, who was about to come hard, and his face was full of helplessness, and finally sighed helplessly, and continued to suppress the anger in his heart and whispered to him.

"Then Cheng Gong, what are you going to do?"

"Naturally, it's blunt!" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia and snorted coldly, "Guo Fengxiao, you are a close minister of Cao Gong's henchmen."

Don't tell the old man now that you can't see Cao Gong's current problem..."

"What's wrong with Cao Gong!"

"You..."

"In the end, it's just a little pride, why are you making such a fuss about Cheng Gong?"

Guo Jia saw that Cheng Yu was really planning to scold, and quickly opened his mouth to interrupt his words, and at the same time said what Cheng Yu wanted to say.

But this attitude .... is completely different from that Cheng Yu.

Hearing Cheng Yu's face, his face was even more gloomy, and it could even be said that if Cheng Yu didn't know what Guo Jia's personality was, he would have been ready to scold directly.

are ready to take this Guo Fengxiao out directly, and scold him angrily for being a treacherous villain....

However, this Guo Jia obviously will not give him this opportunity, which Cheng Yu also understands.

Guo Jia looked at Cheng Yu, who still refused to give up, and knew that if he couldn't suppress him today, who knew what would make everyone embarrassed.

"Cheng Gong, please calm down, okay?

Now Jia understands Cheng Gong's worries, but... Cheng Gong also understands a truth.

This is not a good time to advise..."

"Nonsense!" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia, who was constantly pulling him, and his face became even more gloomy, "Advice, naturally, you can only do it anytime and anywhere."

What is the time of exhortation, is it possible to let the arrogant soldiers be defeated, and then we will continue to admonish?

That's a good time, but don't you Guo Fengxiao think it's too late at that time! ”

“..... Be... Be... It's too late... But Jia didn't let Cheng Gong advise you again at that time! Guo Jia looked helpless, he was really embarrassed by himself.

However, in order not to let this good situation have any problems, he can only continue to pull.

Before Cheng Yu wanted to continue to scold, he hurriedly continued to persuade softly.

"Cheng Gong... You have to understand this truth, why does Cao Gong look like this now?

It's not that Cao Gong is arrogant and complacent, but we really have no opponent now!

We now occupy the three states of the Central Plains and the three states of Hebei, although the little emperor took the state, but I don't know the problem of this state.

Now in the hands of that little emperor, it is even better than in the hands of me and others.

Although the little emperor seems to have the land of Bingzhou and Yongliang in his hands, he did not get Liangzhou, there are many internal problems, and he cannot get the really useful north.

In the end, the entire horse breeding land of Dahan is still in the hands of us and others.

There is plenty of food and grass, there is enough military power, and there are even... And the morale of invincibility.

Cheng Gong... Think about it yourself, if you change to the position of the Duke of Cao, from having no fixed place, more than ten years of ups and downs and hardships to finally become the first prince today.

Wouldn't you Cheng Zhongde... Won't you be complacent?

I'm afraid you won't be able to restrain yourself, and you're ready to scold Cao Gong in public, don't you think it's too much? ”
