Chapter 442
Although the doors and windows in the room were closed, Liu Bei's scolding sound could still be clearly heard in the room, which made Liu Cong feel ashamed and angry, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

As we all know, the big man ruled the world with filial piety, and Liu Bei started with this, calling Liu Cong a man without father and brother. Such accusations are enough to completely destroy a person, and no one can bear it.

Don't talk about Liu Cong, Zhang Yun couldn't listen anymore, he stood up angrily and said, "Liu Bei! He blocked the door and cursed, it's really deceiving! I'll go out and take him down..."

"Forget it." Liu Cong thought for a while, but did not agree with his brother's suggestion.

Before his father died yesterday, he entrusted Liu Bei alone and asked him to "respect him as a father". He also worshiped Liu Bei as his son and nephew in front of his father and all the officials in Jingzhou. Flip.

Besides, Liu Bei is not so easy to deal with. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command are all enemies of thousands of people, and they are too brave.

Zhang Yun sat back down and said, "Then let him block the door and curse?"

Liu Cong said: "When he has scolded enough, he will leave naturally."

As if to confirm his words, after a while Liu Bei's scolding began to weaken until it disappeared completely, and Liu Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Outside the official building, Guan Yu was standing tall, stroking his thick beard with his hands. Although there were many soldiers on the opposite side, he regarded them as chickens and dogs, and said to Liu Bei, "General, why don't you let me escort you in and ask you face to face?" understand."

Zhang Fei echoed, "Fei is willing to be the vanguard and fight a bloody path for the general."

Liu Bei's complexion kept changing, and after a long time, the word "go" popped out from between his teeth.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and followed Liu Bei silently without further words.

After returning to his place of residence, Liu Bei immediately sent someone to call a group to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, all the ministers came, except Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Liu Yan and other old ministers who had followed Liu Bei through life and death for many years, as well as Liu Yong, Hao Pu and others who were newly recruited by Liu Bei after he came to Jingzhou. , Looking around, it can be said that there are a lot of talents.

However, these talented people are all helpless in the current situation.

Liu Jing's tens of thousands of cavalry came from the south and approached Xiangyang. His navy blocked the Hanmian River, which not only blocked the soldiers from the north from entering, but also blocked their way back north.

Now before them, there are only two choices, either die or surrender.

Guan Yu said in a depressed voice, "Could it be that we really want to follow Liu Cong and surrender to Liu Jing?"

Guan Yu had great scruples about surrendering to Liu Jing. After all, Chu Fang, Liu Jing's number one general, died in his hands, and even took his head back to Xiangyang as a trophy.

Guan Yu asked himself, if he was killed, Liu Bei would absolutely desperate to avenge him.Liu Jing must be the same.

Maybe Liu Jing wouldn't kill him immediately because of his reputation, but he would kill him if he couldn't find any excuse in the future.Man, how can life and death be in the hands of others?
Liu Bei naturally knew what Guan Yu was worried about, and he was unwilling to give in to Liu Jing, a yellow-mouthed child, but now the road back to the north was cut off, and there was no other way out except surrender.

Liu Bei remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dignified. At this moment, Liu Yong from Zhangling (county) suddenly said: "Since the general does not want to attach to the south, you can go west."

"Westbound?" Liu Bei couldn't help being startled when he heard the words.

Most of Liu Bei and his ministers are from the north. They have only been in Jingzhou for a year, and they are not very familiar with the geography of Jingzhou. They only know that the west of Xiangyang is Hanzhong County, which was ruled by the rice thief Zhang Lu.

Did Liu Yong want them to go to Hanzhong to join Zhang Lu?Liu Bei and others were greatly surprised.

Only Hao Pu and other Jingzhou natives vaguely guessed Liu Yong's intentions.

Liu Yong came to the hall, and using a battle as a brush and water as ink, he drew a circle on the ground and said: "General, gentlemen, look, this is Xiangyang." Then he drew three circles on the west side of Xiangyang. A circle, from near to far, introduced: "This is Fangling County in Hanzhong County (Yizhou), this is Shangyong County, this is Xicheng County..."

"Historical Records" records Fangling: "Thousands of miles across, mountains and forests are surrounded by mountains and forests, and its solid high mausoleum, if there is a house." Hence the name.The two counties of Shangyong and Xicheng are also surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous.

During the Chuping period, Zhang Lu was ordered by Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan to lead his army northward, attack and kill Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, and steal Hanzhong.

Because the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng were far away from the Hanzhong Basin, and there were dangers of mountains and rivers, they were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhang Lu was beyond his reach, so he simply gave up the management of the three counties.

On the other side, Liu Biao also used the three counties as a buffer with Zhang Lu. After more than ten years, the three counties became a three-way zone.

Of course Liu Yong did not ask Liu Bei to join Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was also a monster, and An Neng voted for him.

I saw Liu Yong draw a huge circle in the southwest of the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng, and wrote the character "Ba" inside.

Including Liu Bei, everyone suddenly realized that this Ba is exactly Yizhou Bajun.

Liu Yong's intention is already obvious, that is to let Liu Bei pass through the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng, enter Bashu in the south, and defect to Yizhou Mu Liuzhang.

Liu Yong said: "Yizhou is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the household registration is millions. Outside the system, there is Zhang Lu who dominates Hanzhong and has repeatedly violated Badi..."

"The general is a member of the royal family, talented and admired by the world. If Liu Zhang hears that the general is coming to vote, he will be overjoyed and rely on his heart. At that time, the general may wish to take the initiative to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong for Liu Zhang, in order to obtain soldiers, horses and military resources. .”

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly got up.

Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The land of Hanzhong is rich and fertile, and it is surrounded by dangers, which is enough to build a foundation. Zhang Lu, also a demon, is not worried about ghosts and gods fooling the people. Ke. On the day of Keding, the farmers will accumulate grain and cultivate scholars, and the upper level can support the Han Dynasty, thinking of Huan and Wen, and the lower level can hold on to the dangerous points to see the world."

What Liu Yong said made Liu Bei feel as if he could see the bright moon through the clouds and mists. He came out of the case, took Liu Yong's hand, and praised: "Nan Hezhen is a genius of Chu!" Then he looked around. , Said to the ministers: "I intend to enter Shu, what do you think?"

Naturally, there was no objection from everyone. Since Liu Bei raised his army, he has repeatedly raised his servants, lost his foundation, and those who are not firm will have left long ago.

Without delay, Liu Bei immediately told everyone to go back and pack their bags. Liu Jing's army will arrive in Xiangyang in a day or two, if they don't leave today, it will be difficult to escape.

In the afternoon, Liu Bei sent someone to send a farewell letter to Liu Cong, and then headed straight to the west gate of Xiangyang with the remaining [-]-odd cavalry and his family.The school captain of Chengmen didn't dare to stop him, and obediently let him go.
