Jiang Xia and Cai Hao returned without success, feeling depressed; Kuai Liang also felt extremely heavy when he thought of the large-scale invasion of Yuan Jun in the future; Liu Yao was probably the only one who was happy.

At this time, Liu Yao no longer expected to own a piece of land, to be a dominator, and to be able to attach himself to Liu Biao, in his opinion, was his best ending. He was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Biao would not treat him badly if he wanted to come to Liu Biao.

"In the future, I will be a rich man in peace and stability, and I will no longer care about the world's major affairs!"

After making up his mind, Liu Yao felt relieved physically and mentally, and the pressure from the past dissipated instantly.

A few days later, Huang Zu led his army back to Jiangxia.

They also returned without success, but Huang Zu lost thousands of troops, which was much worse than Cai Mao's.

Kuai Liang didn't look good towards Huang Zu. If Huang Zu could win Chaisang, the situation of the battle would be different. Unfortunately, Huang Zu was incompetent. He dispatched an army of [-], but he couldn't do anything to the little Chaisang. Kuai Liang naturally I have complaints in my heart.

Huang Zu didn't pay attention to Kuai Liang's attitude, so he found Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, and explained the battle in Chaisang in detail.

After hearing Huang Zu's narration, Kuai Liang's resentment subsided a little. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu's reinforcements would arrive so quickly. Huang Zu's army had just attacked the city for two days, and the reinforcements had already arrived, so it was too late to react.

"Oh! Could it be God's will?"

Such a coincidence made Kuai Liang suspicious, could it be that God helped Yuan?

"What should I do next?"

Cai Mao and Huang Zu Qi Qi looked at Kuai Liang.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang quickly collected his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said: "General Huang Zu will continue to guard Jiangxia, and pay close attention to Yuan Jun's movements. General Cai Mao and I rushed back to Jiangling to report everything to the lord."

Neither of them objected.

So, the army rested for a few days (Cai Mao's army), and set off again, looking towards Jiangling in Nanjun. Liu Yao and the remnants of his troops were accompanying him, and Tai Shici was naturally among them.

The army rushed for several days, Jiangling City was already in sight.

But outside the city, Liu Biao and other civil and military personnel had been waiting for a long time.

Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Liu Yao lined up in front of the formation, and the group went straight to the Jiangling city.

Seeing Liu Yao, Liu Biao immediately smiled and greeted, "Zhengli! It's been a long time."

Liu Yao didn't dare to be negligent, got off his horse in a hurry, bowed and said, "I've seen Brother Jing Sheng!"

As he was about to be sent under the fence, Liu Yao kept his attitude very low, appearing extremely respectful.

Liu Biao smiled even wider, stretched out his hand to support Liu Yao, and said, "You're being polite!"

Immediately, Liu Biao took Liu Yao into the city.

In the governor's mansion, the banquet has already been prepared properly.

The crowd rushed in.

After sitting down, Liu Biao raised his glass and said, "I am very happy that the official ceremony is coming. You and I drink this cup to the brim."

Liu Yao hurriedly raised his glass to express his respect to Liu, and drank it down in one gulp.

"I have admired the scenery of Jiangling for a long time! Now that I can come here to see it, my life is worth it!" Liu Yao exclaimed.

Liu Biao was satisfied, and said, "Since Zhengli likes it, I'll stay here forever, and you and I just have a chance to communicate more."

Liu Yao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much Brother Jing Sheng for your generosity."

Originally, Liu Yao thought that if he wanted to live in Jingzhou permanently, he would have to spend a lot of time talking, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

With no worries, Liu Yao also relaxed completely, and started talking with Liu Biao about everything.

Liu Biao liked writing and ink the most, and Liu Yao's move was exactly what he wanted. The two talked very happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the banquet was over, Liu Biao personally sent Liu Yao out of the mansion.

The two 'remembered farewell'.

After sending Liu Yao away, Liu Biao became so drunk that he ordered everyone to disperse and went back to rest on his own.

Kuai Liang originally wanted to report the war to Liu Biao, but seeing him like this, he could only hold back.

Early the next morning, Kuai Liang took his younger brother Kuai Yue to the governor's mansion to meet Liu Biao.

In front of the governor's mansion, I happened to meet Cai Mao.

When Cai Mao saw Kuai Yue who was behind Kuai Liang, his eyes lit up, and he said kindly, "Zirou, Yidu! You are also here to look for the lord?"

"Naturally! General Cai wants to report the war to the lord? It's just right, I'll go together." Kuai Liang said.

Cai Mao nodded slightly.

So, the three joined hands.

In the governor's mansion, Liu Biao had just got up when someone reported that the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao were begging to see him.

Liu Biao frowned and thought, "How did the three of them get together?"

Before that, Kuai Yue's "abnormality" aroused Liu Biao's suspicion, and ordered someone to follow them secretly.

Sure enough, that night, Cai Mao went to Kuai's mansion. It is said that he was attending a banquet and did not come out until midnight.

Liu Biao didn't know exactly what the two talked about, but according to the spy's report, Cai Mao's face was full of anger when he came out. It seemed that the two families hadn't joined forces, or hadn't negotiated a good deal, so Liu Biao was relieved.

"By the way! Zirou and Degui are back, so they should tell me about the war... Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Liu Biao felt that he was too sensitive, shook his head, and threw out the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Thinking of the war, Liu Biao's heart tightened slightly. He only knew that Yuzhang had been completely occupied by Yuan Jun, but he didn't know how much his own soldiers and horses were lost, and how much Liu Yao's army was left.

Of course, Liu Biao didn't care about these things. What he wanted to know urgently was the current situation, or whether Yuan Jun intended to attack Jingzhou.

"Yuan Shu!" Thinking of this name, Liu Biao felt a headache.

Not daring to neglect, Liu Biao hurriedly put on his clothes and strode out.

After a while, Liu Biao came to the main hall, where Kuai Liang and the three had already been waiting.

Seeing Liu Biao's arrival, the three of them bowed in unison, "My lord!"

"You don't need to be too polite! Everyone sit down." Liu Biao waved his hand.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Biao asked directly, "I already know about the loss of Yuzhang. What is the current situation, please wait for details."

The three of them looked at each other, and Kuai Liang went out to the front, and described the battles in various places in Yuzhang in detail.

"The Yuzhang is lost, and there is no barrier to the east of Jingzhou. I will make preparations in the morning! According to my subordinates, although Yuan Shu has won the Yuzhang, it will take too long. Bingge. My lord should take advantage of this opportunity, so I don't know how to defend myself." Kuai Liang finally concluded.

Liu Biao was secretly relieved to learn that Yuan Shu would not attack Jingzhou for the time being.

Regarding Kuai Liang's proposal, Liu Biao also attached great importance to it, and asked, "What should I do specifically, can Zirou explain in detail?"

Kuai Liang said frankly: "With Yuzhang as the foundation, Yuan Shu will definitely walk the right path and attack Jiangxia directly from Chai Sang. My lord can order General Huang Zu to take strict precautions and send troops to help when necessary. As for Jingnan, he will not slack off either. However, compared to Jiang Xia, the possibility of Yuan Jun attacking Jingnan is very small, and the Lord only needs to order the counties to take strict precautions."

Hearing Kuai Liang's words, Kuai Yue's eyes sparkled in the last seat, and he thought to himself: "Brother! You guessed wrong this time. If I expected it, Yuan Jun's target will definitely be Jingnan!"

The four counties in southern Jingzhou are the depths of Jingzhou, which are equivalent to Liu Biao's retreat. Kuai Yue thought differently. If he were Yuan Shu, he would definitely take Jingnan first. In this way, Liu Biao had no choice but to wait for death.

Naturally, Liu Biao didn't know Kuai Yue's thoughts, he nodded after hearing Kuai Liang's words, and said, "Zi Rou's words are true! I'm sending Jiang Xia and Jing Nan to take strict precautions."

"My lord is wise!" Kuai Liang said.

After a pause, Kuai Liang said again: "In this battle, Yuan Shu's navy played a huge role and took Chaisang City in one fell swoop! Jiangxia is the place where the great river and the Xiangjiang River meet, and the navy is very useful. Yuan Jun If there is an attack, there will definitely be a navy to assist. This subordinate believes that the lord should increase the investment of the navy and never allow Yuan Jun to gain the upper hand."

In fact, Kuai Liang was very depressed. Originally, the navy should be dominated by Jingzhou, but Yuan Shu's navy was so amazing that it overwhelmed Jingzhou.

The navy is one of Jingzhou's only advantages, and Kuai Liang is naturally unwilling to give up, so he persuades Liu Biao to invest more.

"Yeah!" Liu Biao nodded, turned to Cai Mao, and said, "Degui! I will leave the matter of the navy to you. You must pay attention to it, and don't be negligent."

"No!" Cai Mao replied lightly, neither sad nor happy.

If before, Cai Mao would have been overjoyed to get this important task, but now he has no such thoughts.

Looking at the opposite Kuai Yue with a complicated face, Cai Mao was full of thoughts.

"Are you really going to..."

Kuai Yue looked at the relieved Liu Biao, secretly disdainful in his heart, and thought: "It's just a dying struggle!"
