Yecheng Prison

Before the outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, after Liu Bei's sneak attack on Xuzhou was successful, Tian Feng tried hard to persuade Yuan Shao to sneak attack Xudu, but Yuan Shao still did not adopt it. When preparing to go to Guandu, Tian Feng naturally advised Yuan Shao not to rush to a decisive battle with Cao Cao, thinking that the decisive battle would be defeated at this time.

But because Tian Feng was stubborn and strong, he didn't know how to turn around, and he admonished each other with death again and again, and Yuan Shao, who had made a good face, couldn't get off the stage every time.

This naturally provoked the arrogant Yuan Shao, no matter how brilliant Tian Feng's suggestion was, but Yuan Shao still resolutely did not use Tian Feng's strategy, but imprisoned Tian Feng, and sent someone to escort him back to Yecheng and put him on death row.

In this way, the loyal Hebei ghost Mou Tian Feng became a prisoner.

However, although Tian Feng is not very sophisticated, his strategy is known to the world, and even Cao Cao is afraid of him.

Although Tian Feng was not allowed to Yuan Shao, he was also quite dignified, and when he was in prison, the officials in charge of guarding Tian Feng not only did not dare to snub Tian Feng, but were courteous. Because these people all feel that with Tian Feng's talent and prestige, it will definitely be reused again in a short time.

This makes Tian Feng's prison disaster, at least not too bitter in life.

At this moment, Tian Feng knelt in the cold cell, closed his eyes and pondered, but his expression was very peaceful.

But it is undeniable that this time the prison disaster did make Tian Feng lose a lot of weight. When he was first imprisoned, Tian Feng was still heartbroken, and his heart ached because of Yuan Shao's arrogance and Cao Cao's benefit.

But after spending this period of time in prison, Tian Feng gradually saw through some things, and he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely not be able to do it.

At this moment, if Tian Feng could get out of prison, he would definitely give up Yuan Shao and choose to go into hiding. However, Tian Feng knew one thing.

"If you return victorious, you may have a way to live. But if I fail, Yuan Shao will definitely be angry and kill me. Tian Feng opened his eyes and sighed.

Because Tian Feng knows Yuan Shao's personality very well, he is generous on the surface, but he is very harsh in his heart, and he is also cautious. If he returns victorious, he will still survive out of show-off.

If he fails, it must be his death.

And unfortunately, Tian Feng expected that Yuan Shao would be defeated, that is, his death was not far away.

At this moment, his cronies also brought the latest news, and explained in detail the process of judging and appointing Runan and Yuan Shao's decision after returning.

Tian Feng sighed and said: "The lord is really ambitious and talented, and he is a villain and a virtuous minister. I'm afraid I'll take more wrong paths in the future, alas, I'm worried about my life. ”

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

After a long journey, Ma Liang quickly returned to Xiangyang.

Because of this mission to Runan, the initial task was unexpectedly completed, and after Ma Liang returned to Xiangyang, he was in a very relaxed and happy mood.

However, Ma Liang also thought about what Liu Ye wanted to ask for Xinye Taishou. As soon as he entered from the north gate, he couldn't wait to order the coachman: "Speed up and go to the Zhennan General's Mansion." ”

"No." The coachman complied, raised his whip and quickened his pace.

Soon after, Ma Liang arrived outside the mansion of the general Zhennan. After getting out of the carriage outside the house, Ma Liang walked in. Soon after, he was told that Liu Biao was in the study, so he got up and went to the study.

"Meet my lord." After Ma Liang entered the study, he immediately saluted Liu Biao, who was sitting on it.

"Seasons are often exempt." Liu Biao raised his hand and said, and then asked, "What's the matter, can you gain from the trip to Runan?" ”

Basically the same as Ma Liang thought, Liu Biao basically did not have much hope for this trip to Runan. I just hope to have some good relationship with Liu Ye, maybe it will be of some use, that's all.

"Lord Qi, Liu Ye is willing to raise 400,000 people to surrender." Ma Liang said with a smile, looking forward to Liu Biao's overjoyed appearance.

But he was disappointed, and Liu Biao at this moment was not overjoyed, but his face was solemn. This was too unexpected for him, he never thought that Liu Ye would be willing to defect to him, although Liu Ye now has only one county, but he can be regarded as a small prince.

Now that he suddenly heard such amazing news, Liu Biao naturally doubted Liu Ye's intentions.

Some people are like this, when they see something good, they feel very tempted. But when someone else sends it to the door, it will be suspicious.

Liu Biao is such a person.

"Ji Chang, you have been to Runan and have been in contact with Liu Ye, can you tell me why Liu Ye abandoned the more powerful Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and is willing to be close to me?" Liu Biao couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart and asked.

"The lord doesn't have to doubt, then Liu Ye chose you because the lord is kind, and he will have hope and a sense of security if he follows you. On the other hand, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are raccoon dogs, wolf ambitions, if Liu Ye chooses, they will definitely be swallowed and there is no scum left. At this moment, Ma Liang was still immersed in joy, and he hadn't fully recognized Liu Biao's face, and he still said with joy on his face at the moment. Immediately, Ma Liang told Liu Biao about Liu Ye's hope to seek Xinye Taishou.

"Kindness?" Liu Biao's heart is even more suspicious, today, everyone can see that the mercy of this troubled world has a hairy purpose.

And Liu Ye actually surrendered to him because Liu Biao was a benevolent person? Isn't that a problem? Presumably, there must be a lot of articles in this.

Once people doubt, they will continue to doubt, which is even more serious for the old Liu Biao.

"That's the way it is, I don't know how the lord decides?" Ma Liang asked expectantly.

"Ji Chang, this matter is too sudden. As for the matter of Nino Taishou, please let me think about it more. Liu Biao couldn't help but politely refuse.

"This, my lord. Liu Ziyang started with a thousand elite soldiers and reached the point where he is today. All of them show his great talent. In the face of such a talented talent coming to the lord and asking for a position of too much, why should the lord think too much? Ma Liang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded him.

At this moment, Ma Liang's heart is really helpless, he has been with Liu Biao for many years, and he has vaguely realized that Liu Biao is already the kind of person who has no ambition.

But he never thought that Liu Biao would be so stupid, and he didn't accept a talent like Liu Ye quickly, but had to consider it.

What is especially unbearable is that before Liu Ye showed his kindness, Liu Biao showed his desire to get Liu Ye's kindness. But when Liu Ye expressed his goodwill, and even defected to Liu Biao, he hesitated.

What is this, isn't this a shit?

At this moment, if he hadn't kept his promise to Liu Ye and helped Liu Ye seek the position of Xinye Taishou, maybe Ma Liang would have chosen to leave in frustration.

Liu Biao is really not a master of troubled times.

"I'll think about it, I see that you are tired of Ji Chang, so let's go down and rest for the time being. I'll let you know as soon as I make up my mind. Ma Liang's advice not only did not make Liu Biao accept, but made Liu Biao a little unhappy. At this moment, Liu Biao's heart actually had some feelings that Ma Liang wanted to teach him how to do.

"Lord 。。。。。。" Of course, Ma Liang was unwilling, and raised his fist again to speak for Liu Ye.

"Alright, don't say it. Let me think, you go down first. But Liu Biao interrupted Ma Liang's words and waved his hand impatiently.

"No." Seeing this, Ma Liang couldn't help despairing, and after a long time, he promised and turned around and walked out without looking back.

"Liu Ye? What the hell are you thinking? Kindness, this can still be eaten? After Ma Liang left, Liu Biao was still suspicious in his heart.

"My lord, Cai Mao, and Kuai Yue ask to see you." At this time, a guard came in to report.

"Invite them in." Liu Biao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he immediately said. This is the time for him to doubt, and the one who solves his doubts has arrived. In Liu Biao's view, Ma Liang's generation can only be second-rate goods.

The only people who can really help him solve problems are Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, these two people are the objects he can rely on.

"No." The guard said yes, turned and walked out. After a while, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao walked in from outside, and when they saw Liu Biao, they immediately bowed down and said, "My lord." ”

"Hurry up and excuse you." Liu Biao waved his hand. Immediately, Liu Biao said happily: "You two came just in time, Ma Liang brought back the news." ”

Kuai Yue, Cai Mao couldn't help but glance at each other when she heard this, they actually came here for this matter. Although they did not expect or want Liu Biao to get in touch with Liu Ye.

But after all, there is a chance of a chance, if it succeeds, it will be troublesome. Therefore, when they received the news that Ma Liang had returned, they immediately rushed to the scene.

"My lord, I don't know what the result is?" After glancing at each other, Cai Mao asked.

"It's surprising, according to the news brought back by Ma Liang, Liu Ye actually wanted to give up Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and go south to join me."

Liu Biao couldn't help but sneer and said.

Kuai Yue, Cai Mao can be said to be the person who knows Liu Biao best, and when he saw Liu Biao's expression, he immediately knew that Liu Biao was suspicious of Liu Ye's motives.

In fact, they also despise Liu Biao's capriciousness, that is, they want to win over, and after they are wooed, they have to be suspicious. This kind of character is really terrible in troubled times.

However, Liu Biao's character also happened to fall into their hands, so that Liu Ye could be excluded from the Jingchu system and maintained the status quo.

"I don't know how the lord decides." Kuai Yue asked.

"The position of Shinno Taishou, of course, will not be given to him. Xinye is a barrier in Jingzhou, if it is casually given to outsiders, so as to surrender to others again like Zhang Xiu, it will be too cost-effective. Liu Biao, who thought of Zhang Xiu, couldn't help but say hatefully.

This incident happened to Zhang Xiu once. At the beginning, Liu Biao lent Wancheng to Zhang Xiu, hoping that Zhang Xiu could help him resist Cao Cao, but he never expected Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.

It was because of this kind of thing that Liu Biao suspected Liu Ye's bad intentions.
