|

) Cao Cao is mobilizing troops in Guanzhong and gathering in Nanyang.There is a great intention to go south to invade Jingzhou.Cao Cao is a hero in this world, the most powerful in the world, Master Zhou must not let it go!I also hope that Mr. Zhou Mu will issue an order immediately to mobilize troops and horses in Xinye. My brother and I should take precautions first, just in case! "

Liu Biao frowned, Liu Bei wanted soldiers when he came here, Liu Biao's previous suspicion suddenly arose, and he was worried about something right now, so he shook his head and refused.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about others. Brother, Prime Minister Cao and I have always been friends. Not long ago, Prime Minister Cao sent envoys to send rewards. Brother and Prime Minister Cao do not violate the well water, and are willing to obey the orders of the court. How could Prime Minister Cao send troops to attack?" Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei's heart twitched, he was silent on the surface, but secretly lamented that Liu Biao was incompetent and didn't understand the situation.Seeing this, Liu Biao laughed and invited Liu Bei to drink in the back hall.Liu Bei obeyed.

When the wine was half drunk, Liu Biao seemed to have something extremely worrying, and suddenly heaved a long sigh.Liu Bei then asked.

"Why do you sigh, brother?"

"Brother, don't I know that Cao Cao wants to swallow Jingxiang's heart. But brother, if you can't solve it, the rear of Jingzhou will be chaotic, so how can you take Cao Cao into consideration."

"Elder brother, what's so difficult to solve? If you can use my brother's help, even if I die, I will not refuse."

Liu Bei's expression changed continuously, and when he wanted to ask again, Mrs. Cai suddenly appeared behind the standing screen.Liu Biao lowered his head and remained silent.Seeing this, Liu Bei had some thoughts in his heart.After a while, the seats are scattered.Liu Bei knew that Liu Biaoding was worried about the difficult and important issues related to Jingzhou, so he stayed in Hanshou first.

Sure enough, a few days later, Liu Biao secretly sent an envoy to invite Liu Bei to the meeting.Liu Bei followed the envoy and rushed to a hidden house.After Liu Biao was discharged from the hospital, after the ceremony, please enter the back hall for a banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Biao suddenly sighed.

"A few days ago, Guanzhong paid back carefully. Sure enough, as my virtuous brother said, Cao Cao must have the intention to annex Jingxiang when he amassed an army in Nanyang. Hey, Jingzhou is in danger right now, but I have no intention of dealing with it!"

After Liu Biao finished speaking, he seemed to have something extremely worrying and helpless, and suddenly burst into tears.Liu Bei's expression changed, and he asked why.Liu Biao lowered his voice subconsciously and said in a low voice.

"I have something on my mind. The former wants to tell my virtuous brother, but there should be someone by my side, so it's not convenient."

Immediately Liu Bei thought of the Cai family in his mind, and his heart suddenly felt like a huge wave. It seems that the thing Liu Biao is bothered about is probably related to the future ownership of Jingzhou! !

"Elder brother is the lord of Jingzhou, so it will be inconvenient! Could it be that someone is trying to seize the power of elder brother! If so, I will rush back to Xinye and bring troops here to punish the rebels for elder brother!"

"No! My dear brother, be at ease. If it's just a matter of disobedience, I don't worry about my virtuous brother here. What I worry about is the heirs under my knees. My virtuous brother doesn't know about it. I have two sons. My ex-wife, Mrs. Chen The eldest son, Liu Qi, is a virtuous man, but weak and cowardly. The youngest son Qiong, born to his second wife Cai, is quite intelligent, and the Cai family is powerful. With the support of the Cai family, Jingzhou will be stable in the future. I want to abolish the elder and establish the younger , I am afraid that due to the etiquette and law, I want to establish the eldest son, and I am afraid that all the Cai clan will be in charge of military affairs, and there will be chaos in the future. Therefore, the committee will not be resigned."

As soon as Liu Biao's words fell, Liu Bei's heart suddenly brightened, and at the same time, Liu Qi and Liu Qiong's two sons flashed in his mind.Liu Qi has always respected Liu Bei very much, and he often comes to listen to Liu Bei's teachings. He often asks Liu Bei for opinions on Jingzhou affairs, and he is very dependent on Liu Bei.As for Liu Qiong, because of Liu Bei's and Cai's feud, Liu Qiong has always had a good face towards Liu Bei, and sometimes even speaks sarcasticly to Liu Bei, and is full of vigilance towards Liu Bei.

It is self-evident that whoever succeeds Jingzhou between these two in the future will have a lot of benefits and no harm to Liu Bei.Liu Bei quickly made a choice in his mind, and said with an extremely serious face.

"Since ancient times, the way of abolishing the elders and setting up the younger ones has been the way of chaos. The Yuan family in Hebei was defeated at this point. If the elder brother is worried about the power of the Cai family, he can cut him down slowly. Don't spoil the youngest son."

After Liu Biao listened, he fell silent.Suddenly Liu Bei heard two or three figures behind the screen and was startled.It turned out that Mrs. Cai had always been very prepared for Liu Bei. Since Liu Bei came to Hanshou, she secretly ordered the servants arranged around Liu Biao to pay more attention.Those servants, seeing Liu Biao and Liu Bei discussing in secret, eavesdropped behind the screen.

Liu Bei was in a state of confusion, and suddenly burst into tears.Seeing this, Liu Biao quickly asked why.

Liu Bei hissed and sighed.

"Bei used to never leave the saddle, galloping on the battlefield, the flesh of his legs fell apart, and he didn't ride for a long time, the flesh in his legs was raw. The sun and the moon passed, and the old general came to the end. In the past, he and Bei fought against the princes, and either died or became the overlord of one party, but only How can I not be sad if my brother's achievements are not built!"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it continuously, trying to pretend to be drunk and gaffe.

"My dear brother, don't worry. You are famous for your benevolence, and the four generals under your command, Pan, Zhang, Taishi, and Hua, all have the courage to be undeserved. Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang are all righteous men. It was just bad luck before, so why should you worry about your achievements?" Don't you think?!"

Liu Biao's words can be said to have reached Liu Bei's heart.Liu Bei took advantage of the drunkenness, and suddenly the drunkenness came to his head, and he opened his arms and shouted.

"Jiangdong's Sun Bofu is nothing more than an upright son! The chancellor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde, is nothing more than a rebellious thief. And the champion Hou Wenbufan, who came from a poor family, became a great man because he was good at deceiving people! Basically, people who are busy in the world have nothing to worry about!"

Hearing Liu Bei's rhetoric, Liu Biao's expression changed again and again, and he was silent when he heard the words.Knowing that he had lost his words, Liu Bei got drunk and hurried back to the station to rest.

But when Liu Biao heard Liu Bei's words, although he didn't say anything, he had some worries in his heart. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, he returned to the state pastoral mansion.Mrs. Cai listened carefully and paid back.While serving Liu Biao, Mrs. Cai asked about Liu Biao's previous affairs.Liu Biao was confused and made up random answers.Mrs. Cai suddenly said yin and yang strangely.

"My concubine often heard that since he came to Xinye, Liu Xuande was deeply loved by the people. Many people from Jingzhou counties flocked to Xinye, all because of his fame. Liu Xuande is hypocritical and secretly buying people's hearts. If your husband does not take precautions. In the future Waiting for Liu Xuande to gather momentum, I will regret it too soon. If my husband does not get rid of it now, it will be a trouble for the future!"

Liu Biao listened to the words, sat quietly for a while, sighed three times in a row, and then went to bed to rest.Seeing Liu Biao, Mrs. Cai also seemed to intend to eradicate Liu Bei, but she just couldn't bear it.Mrs. Cai had some thoughts in her heart, and after Liu Biao was asleep, she sent someone from the mansion to secretly summon Cai Mao to discuss what can be done.

When Cai Mao arrived, Mrs. Cai told the story. Cai Mao's eyes were cold. When he heard that Liu Bei persuaded Liu Biao to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Qi according to the etiquette, and secretly weakened Cai's power.Cai Mao has already developed the desire to kill Liu Bei, and this desire is especially urgent!

"My brother-in-law couldn't bear it. Then let me, a courtier, do it for him, and kill him first. Then Liu Bei is resting in the station right now, and there are no soldiers guarding him. It's a good time to kill him!"

"My brother's plan is very good. If you move quickly, you may have troubles if you are late!"

Mrs. Cai was overjoyed. After discussing with Cai Mao for a while, Cai Mao rushed out and ordered the army overnight.But he said that Liu Bei sat with a candle after returning to the post station, and Fang Yu went to bed after the third watch.Suddenly a person knocked on the door and entered, and he saw Yi Ji with an anxious face.It turned out that Yi Ji was visiting Cai Mao's mansion just now.At that time Mrs. Cai sent someone to summon Cai Mao, and Yi Ji knew that something was wrong, so he pretended to resign first, and then followed Cai Mao.Until later, I saw Cai Mao walking out and heading for the barracks.Yi Ji thought about it for a while, remembering that Cai Mao had always wanted to kill Liu Bei, so he immediately guessed that Cai Mao wanted to harm Liu Bei, so he came to report at night.At that moment, Yiji informed Liu Bei about Cai Mao's overnight deployment of troops. Liu Bei thought about what he said with Liu Biao just now, and was eavesdropped.Immediately believed a little.Yiji urged Liu Bei to get up quickly.

Before Liu Bei went out, he thought that if he left without saying goodbye, Liu Biao might become suspicious.

"How can I go without saying goodbye to Jingsheng?"

"If Duke Ming resigns, he will be harmed by Cai Mao."

Liu Bei thought for a while, thanked Yiji quickly, called out his followers, mounted their horses together, and ran back to Xinye in the starry night without waiting for dawn.And when Cai Mao led the army to the station, Liu Bei had already gone far.Cai Mao had no regrets in his heart, so he decided to ask someone to write an anti-poem on the wall.The next day, Cai Mao came to see Liu Biao and reported that Liu Bei had the intention of rebellion, so he wrote a poem against the wall and left without saying goodbye.Liu Biao was dubious, and followed Cai Mao to the post station to watch him, and there was indeed an anti-poetry.Seeing the poem, Liu Biao was furious. He drew his sword from his waist and rushed out of the post station. He shouted angrily that he would kill Liu Bei.Cai Mao was overjoyed and took orders to leave.After Cai Mao left, Yi Ji hurriedly advised him.

"When I got along with Uncle Liu Huangshu for a long time, I never heard that Uncle Liu Huangshu rebelled. Instead, I put the Lord first in everything. This must be an outsider's plan. The Lord must not be trusted!"

As soon as Yiji's voice fell, many Jingzhou civil servants also echoed.Liu Biao nodded slightly, only saying that it was true, then went back to the post station, cut off the poem with the tip of his sword, discarded the sword and mounted his horse.

After a while, Cai Mao came and knelt down to beg.

"Report!!! My lord! The sergeants have been ordered, but let's go to Xinye to capture and kill the big-eared thief!"

"Don't make mistakes, let Xu figure it out."

Seeing that Liu Biao was indecisive, Cai Mao left with hatred in his heart, and secretly discussed with Mrs. Cai.The two discussed overnight and made another plan.

The next day, Cai Mao played in His Royal Highness.

"It has been ripe in recent years, and my lord should gather all the officials in Xiangyang to show my intention of persuasion. My lord, please go with me."

At this time, Liu Biao suffered from his old illness again and was in poor health, so he shook his head and refused.

"I've been suffering from shortness of breath recently, so I really can't do it. I can ask my second son to treat guests for me."

"The two sons are young, so I'm afraid they will lose their etiquette. Uncle Liu Huang is a relative of the Han family and a younger brother of the lord's family. He can go on his behalf. Among them, he can find out his heart. If he wants to come, he must be open-minded. Against his heart. If he doesn't want to, he must be guilty of a thief, the Lord can plan it sooner."

"What Degui said is reasonable. So I will follow your words."

Cai Mao secretly rejoiced, and immediately sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Xiangyang.But he said that Liu Bei ran back to Xinye, knowing that he had made a mistake and caused disaster, so he didn't tell everyone.Suddenly Jingzhou envoys came to invite Liu Bei.

When Sun Qian saw Liu Bei, he was depressed and seemed to have something to worry about. After thinking about it for a while, he attended and reported.

"Yesterday, I saw my lord returning in a hurry. I was very unhappy. If you are stupid, there must be an accident in Jingzhou. Now I invite you to the meeting again. Don't go lightly."

When Pan, Zhang and other generals heard this, they turned their attention to Liu Bei one after another.Liu Bei knew that he could no longer hide it, so he told everyone about the previous matter.
