Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Yundao: "If my brother agrees with me here, my lord will definitely say to the outside world that my brother has died in Bowangpo." Xia Houlan nodded in agreement, and Zhao Yun was overjoyed.So he asked Liu Bei to explain the matter to him.After hearing this, Liu Bei was also overjoyed.So Xia Houlan was invited to attend the celebration banquet together.

At the table, Kong Ming said: "My lord has defeated Xiahou Dun's army this time, which is very gratifying, but Cao Cao will definitely lead the army to come soon."

After Liu Bei heard this, he was also very worried, so he asked: "If this is the case, what can I do?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang has a plan, and I can repay the Lord Wuyou."

Liu Bei asked him what his plan was, and Zhuge Liang saw how chaotic the crowd was, so he said, "We can discuss this matter later."

Zhao Yun was listening and knew that Zhuge Liang wanted Liu Bei to seek Liu Biao's land of Jingzhou as his foundation, and Cao Cao would not dare to attack him at that time.For the sake of confidentiality, that's why I didn't say anything in front of the audience.

After the banquet, Zhuge Liang left Guan Zhang and Zhao three people in the tent, and then talked to Liu Bei about what happened just now.Liu Bei anxiously asked Zhuge Liang what plan he had to retreat Cao Bing.Zhuge Liang took a look at the crowd, and then said: "Xinye is a small county and cannot be lived for a long time. My lord, why don't you take the opportunity to seek Jingzhou to reject Cao Cao."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this.Then he said excitedly: "Brother Jing Sheng is kind to me, I must never do such a rebellious thing." Guan and Zhang also seconded that Jingzhou should be captured.

Zhuge Liang said: "If my lord does not take it, Jingzhou will fall into Cao Cao's hands sooner or later, and my lord will regret it later."

After Liu Bei thought about it, he also felt that Zhuge Liang's words made sense, so he said: "Let me think again." After speaking, he took Guan and Zhang and left.Zhuge Liang said to Zhao Yundao: "The lord has the heart to take Jingzhou, but he wants to keep his image of benevolence and righteousness. It seems that this matter should be realized by us."

Yun asked, "I don't know what the military division has planned?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I just wanted to hear Zilong's opinion on this matter."

Zhao Yundao: "At this time, if you want to take the nine counties of Jingzhou by force, I'm afraid you can't. According to Zilong, it is better to wait for Liu Biao to die of illness, and then wait for the opportunity to seize Jingzhou. This is the best plan."

"Zilong's words are very agreeable to me, but if Liu Biao is still alive, Cao Cao will lead the army to come, so what will happen?"

Zhao Yundao: "Retreat to Fancheng. If Fancheng falls, we can contract Liu Qi to retreat to Jiangxia."

"Zilong really hit the nail on the head."

"Presumably the military division had this intention long ago."

"I've heard my master say that Zilong has the talent of a general. When I saw him today, it was as expected."

"The military division is serious."

"You went to see my master earlier, but you didn't know why?"

When Zhuge Liang asked such a question, Zhao Yun immediately remembered the matter of the eight formations.So he asked him about the Eight Arrays.Zhuge Liang had heard about Zhao Yun from Mr. Shui Jing, but he hadn't fully realized the mystery yet.So it is said that Zhao Yundao is also studying the Eight Arrays at this time, so his problem cannot be solved yet.Zhao Yun thought about this, so he withdrew.

The next day, Liu Bei was discussing matters with everyone under the tent.Suddenly it was reported: "Cao Cao led the five-way army to rush to Xinye." Liu Bei couldn't help being anxious when he heard that, how could the small county of Xinye resist Cao Cao's army.

At this time, another envoy from Liu Biao came to report: "Liu Jingzhou is seriously ill, please go to Jingzhou to discuss matters quickly." Liu Bei asked people to go down to greet the envoy.Zhuge Liang heard this, so he came out and said: "My lord, this is a god-given opportunity, I hope my lord will not miss it."

Liu Bei thought for a while, and then said: "But we have few soldiers, how can we fight against Cai and the others?"

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei wanted to seize Jingzhou, so he said: "My lord, have you forgotten your son Liu Qi? Why don't you use the name of Tuogu to merge Liu Qi's two army horses, and then go to Jingzhou, and then secretly kill Cai and others. Isn't Jingzhou my lord?" As a result, all problems will be solved by then.”

Zhao Yun also agreed with Zhuge Liang's words, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also agreed at this time.However, Liu Bei still felt that it was too risky to do so, and in the end he did not agree.So they rushed to Jingzhou with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Leave Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to guard Xinye and guard against Cao Cao.

Zhao Yun said at this time: "My lord doesn't listen to what we say, what can I do?"

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Perhaps this is the charm of the lord's personality. We are still ready to evacuate Xinye." Then he ordered the soldiers to pack up and work carefully.

Let's say that when Liu Bei came to Liu Biao's bed, Liu Biao was dying.Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to be the Lord of Jingzhou Shepherd, and hoped that Liu Bei would do his best to assist Liu Qi.This matter was overheard by Mrs. Cai behind the screen.Mrs. Cai quickly retreated, and then discussed with Cai Mao and others about seizing Jingzhou.What Cai and others are worried about is that Liu Qi and Liu Bei will unite to seek Jingzhou.So they planned to reject Liu Qi's condolences.

Let's say that Liu Qi heard that his father was critically ill when he was here, so he led the army back to Jingzhou overnight.But they were blocked by Cai and others, not allowing them to meet each other.After a period of pain, Liu Qi had no choice but to lead his army back.

The next day, seeing that Liu Qi hadn't come to visit him yet, Liu Biao couldn't help but yelled three times and died with hatred.After Liu Biao died, Cai and others wrote a false will, and then made Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou.The will was read out in front of Liu Biao's mourning hall.After Liu Bei knew about this, he was furious, so he just wanted to refute, but found that there were many swordsmen ambushing inside and outside the mourning hall.

Liu Bei sighed secretly for a while: I regret not listening to the words of the military adviser.So he resigned and returned to Xinye on the grounds that Cao Cao went south.Cai and others saw that Liu Bei had left, so they ordered the people of Cai's genealogy to lead the soldiers in Jingzhou.He took Liu Cong to guard Xiangyang to prevent Liu Bei and Liu Qi from leading the army.

When Liu Bei returned to Xinye, he saw that all the soldiers had already packed up their work.Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang what he meant.Zhuge Liang said: "Earlier Liang asked the lord to capture Jingzhou so that he could fight against Cao Cao, but the lord refused. Now we can only abandon Xinye and go to Fancheng."

Liu Bei also regretted not listening to Zhuge Liang's words.So he said: "Now we abandon Xinye and go to Fancheng, what about the people here?"

"Things are urgent, and I don't care so much."

Liu Bei cried at this time: "The people of Xinye have been with me for several years, and I can't abandon them."

Zhuge Liang had long thought that Liu Bei would be like this.So Liu Bei said: "Since the lord wants to take away the people of Xinye, we have no choice but to burn Xinye to give the lord time to withdraw to Fancheng." Liu Bei thought: as long as the people can be evacuated, Xinye has become an empty city, and abandoned It doesn't matter.So a notice was issued to inform the people to evacuate Xinye and go to Fancheng.Sun Qian was sent to prepare a boat to help the people; and Mi Zhu and others were sent to protect the family and rush back to Fancheng. At that time, Mrs. Mi had a son, Liu Chan.Everyone was ordered to leave.

After everything was arranged, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang why he wanted to burn Xinye.Zhuge Liang said: "The last time Cao Bing was defeated by fire tricks, this time they will definitely let them fall into this trick again." After hearing this, Liu Bei was a little relieved.
