Chapter 1170 Depressed Liu Bei

Li Tong stood on the incomplete Runan city wall and looked into the distance. The soldiers and horses in the distance were slowly receding, and the huge "Liu" flag was particularly eye-catching.

Li Tong didn't think he was a genius for defending the city, the white cloth wrapped around his head was proof.But under his auspices, the small town of Runan has been standing still under the siege of Liu Biao's army for more than 20 days—however, when things have reached this point, everything should be over.

"Liu Biao is also very determined. As soon as he heard that our army had won the battle of Guandu, he immediately turned around and left without hesitation." Wang Lang, the prefect of Runan standing beside Li Tong, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's not Liu Biao's flag," Li Tong said.

"Ok?"

"It belonged to Liu Bei. He claimed to be a member of the Han family, so he drew a red circle around the flag to represent fire virtue."

"Hmph, this country bumpkin knows how to exploit. Wasn't he still Yuan Shao's aide a few days ago? Now, he has become Liu Biao's guest of honor."

Li Tong also spat on the ground in dissatisfaction.Liu Bei and his two brothers have led a group of bandits under the banner of Yuan Shao to harass near Runan these days, but they dare not confront Cao Jun head-on.It wasn't until Liu Biao's army arrived that they happily raised the banner and announced that they would attack the Cao bandits as clan members of the Han family.

However, since Liu Biao's army first entered Runan, it has become a joke.Liu Biao has been sitting on the wall to watch the scenery. When he learned that Yuan Shao was defeated in the Guandu battle, he made up his mind to send troops.Unexpectedly, the war situation in Jizhou suddenly changed. Ten months later, Zhao Yun occupied Youzhou, and the Ma family army surrounded him from all directions, beating Cao Cao to death.

If this is the case, the main general Cai Mao will be very happy.However, just three days ago, he suddenly received information that the Ma family army stationed in Yangzhai County, which had never been moved before, suddenly entered Xiangcheng under the leadership of general Zhang Ji, and their troops pointed directly at the grain road in Minshan.

Although Zhang Ji has less than [-] soldiers and horses, the attitude of the forces behind him cannot be ignored.After it was finally confirmed yesterday that Zhang Ji Youshao was indeed visiting the geography of Minshan, Cai Mao also received Liu Biao's order to retreat.

That's why today's ridiculous scene happened.

"Perhaps, only people like Liu Bei will be loved by the current situation." Wang Lang was silent for a moment, and a little emotion suddenly appeared on his face. A clear guy will be swallowed sooner or later."

"Jing Xing, why can't I understand what you said?" Li Tong was a little confused.

Wang Lang pointed to the big banner with the word "Liu" going away, and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just think this guy will become a big trouble in the future."

Li Tong laughed loudly, but halfway through the laugh, he couldn't stop laughing: "Tell me, why did the Ma family suddenly help our Cao family? Isn't the current situation of the two families a life-and-death enmity?"

"Army is impermanent, and it's going all over the place." Wang Lang smiled wryly. He couldn't figure out why, so he could only deceive himself and explain: "Let the big people worry about the things above. We small people, sometimes we don't know it, but it's just us." A kind of happiness."

Li Tong nodded with a vague understanding, acquiescing to Wang Lang's explanation.After shaking off the messy thoughts in his head, he ordered: "Runan Great Victory, reward the three armies tonight, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!"

At the same time, a banquet was also held fifty miles away from Runan.However, the wine in the military tent tasted a bit bitter, which made Liu Bei even more depressed after drinking it.Especially when he saw Cai Mao drinking and enjoying himself in the main seat, Liu Bei was full of emotion and didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Xuande, although we did not capture Runan City this time, we did a heavy blow to the Cao bandits. However, Mr. Xuande conquered the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan and pacified our east line in Jingzhou, which is also a great achievement." Liu Bei seemed to have something on his mind. , Cai Mao held up the wine bottle, respected a bottle from a distance and said: "Please also ask Xuande to drink this cup to the full!"

"Since he joined our Han army, he will no longer be known as a Yellow Turban Bandit in the future. The general made a mistake." Liu Bei was full of grief, and saw that Liu Pi and Gong who were accompanying him in the last seat were not angry, so he had no choice but to turn around.

However, Cai Mao was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and he was also a hero who assisted Liu Biao in taking over Jingzhou.In Cai Mao's eyes, calling Liu Bei "Xuande Gong" already gave Liu Bei a high opinion.But he didn't expect that this usually respectful and peaceful guy would dare to contradict himself in front of everyone, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Cai Mao was about to open his mouth to scold Liu Bei, but he suddenly felt two violent aura behind Liu Bei lock on him.Looking up, I saw Liu Bei's two sworn brothers standing upright and waiting, a snake spear trembling, the owner of the snake spear was glaring with leopard eyes, like Cai Mao who blurted out a word and stepped forward to fight Potential.On the other side, the red-faced man holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife is even more imposing. His slightly squinted red phoenix eyes seem to be raised slightly, and a ray of lightning explodes in Cai Mao's heart, making Cai Mao almost unable to hold the wine bottle in his hand.

Cai Mao had heard of the names of these two people for a long time, but now there is no one in his tent who is worthy of a fight.Cai Mao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he could only curse Ma Chao: Damn it, if you hadn't tricked my general Huang Zhong away, how could I be afraid of these two people? !

Unfortunately, curses cannot be used as courage.Cai Hao's face turned sharply, and it was very difficult to show a kind-hearted look: "Mr. Xuande's words are reasonable, but I made a slip of the tongue just now, and I will punish myself!"

Liu Bei got up immediately and said "I dare not" and offered a cup of toast.When he was seated, Liu Bei staggered slightly: when he put down the wine bottle, he clearly saw the flash of jealousy and malice in Cai Mao's eyes... This made his already sad mood even more intensified. A little bit worried.

"Mr. Xuande, my lord knows your great achievements. After discussing with the ministers, I decided to divide the county of Xinye into Duke Xuande's governance..." The taste of the wine has changed, and Cai Mao is not in the mood to continue the feast anymore. He directly stated the purpose of this banquet.

"This..." Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and soon understood Liu Biao's intentions. He carefully said, "Bei's virtue is weak and his talents are shallow, so he can't be used. This time, the envoy is so loving, so I will personally come to Xiangyang to thank you. Kindness."

"It doesn't matter, Shijun knew that Xuande Gong is a man of love and righteousness, and he will live up to his high hopes." Cai Mao waved his hand casually, dismissing Liu Bei's request lightly.

Seeing this action, Liu Bei's expression became even darker.Cai Mao's reaction may seem simple, but the meaning it represents has a lot to say.Liu Bei and Liu Biao are said to be half-royal relatives, but Cai Mao, Liu Biao's in-laws, rejected Liu Bei so casually, obviously revealing two very important information to Liu Bei.

One, don't take the Han Dynasty as an example. Jingzhou is our Jingzhou, and it has nothing to do with you Liu Bei.

Two, you can't be close, you Liu Bei is just a guy who came to beg for food, don't try to get in the inner circle of Jingzhou high-level people and provoke us to fight with you.
Liu Biao's relationship, bring shame on yourself!

There is nothing more sad than death. At this time, Liu Bei really experienced the misery of having no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.Looking at the empty wine bottle in his hand, he didn't know what else to say.I had to find an excuse at random, plead guilty and leave the meeting.As soon as Liu Bei left, nearly half of the generals in the tent left the table, including some mid-level captains who had failed under Cai Mao.When Cai Mao saw this, the wooden wine bottle in his hand shattered, and the sternness in his eyes was ready to come out along with the broken sawdust.

Afterwards, Liu Bei walked into his tent without saying a word.But when the curtain was lifted, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said at the same time: "Brother, be careful, there are people in the tent!"

Liu Bei was startled, but then his face darkened, he opened the curtain and stepped into the tent.Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed in quickly, looked up, and saw only a servant who looked like a cook in the tent, and was putting some food on Liu Bei's table.

"Brother, but the banquet is not full yet, why did you ask the servant to bring another meal?" Zhang Fei turned his head and asked, but his eyes were not half an inch away from the cook.

But before Liu Bei opened his mouth, Guan Yu's face was already gloomy: "He is not a member of our army. How can such a calm and steady demeanor be all he has?"

The Pao Ding turned around when he heard this, and with a reassuring smile on his harmless fat face, he bowed and said: "General Guan's phoenix eyes are like lightning, and the villain is the shadow of the Ma family. Duanmu is unknown." , was ordered to come to see Liu Shijun..."
