Alien Summoning System

Chapter 323 Rules
Cao Cao has now defeated Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's family is strong, and the Yuan family brothers are not really waste like in history, and Cao Cao is also consolidating the gains brought by the Battle of Guandu. The north has not yet unified yet. It was a good life, Zhuo Ao didn't come to trouble him, and Liu Biao and he were still a family, but as time went by, Liu Biao's attitude towards Liu Bei gradually became alienated.

The root cause, of course, is that since the appearance of Zhuo Ao, the correspondence between Liu Bei and Zhuo Ao has never stopped, not to mention that Liu Biao still has spies planted by Liu Bei's side, even if he doesn't, as long as he is not blind, he can know the information. At least on the surface, Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei had a fierce fight.

If Zhuo Ao and Liu Bei break up, Liu Biao naturally doesn't have to worry, but Liu Bei and Zhuo Ao seem to abandon the past and fight fiercely, and Liu Biao can't sit still. Although Liu Biao has lost his previous ambitions at this time, he has not yet He was old and stupid at the beginning, he knew that Liu Bei had always had great ambitions, and now he was fighting Zhuo Ao fiercely, according to Liu Bei's current position, if he didn't start a war with Zhuo Ao, he could only fight himself.

Although he did not turn against Liu Bei, he secretly ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to station troops in Xiakou, and ordered Huang Zu to sit in Jiangxia. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Xiangyang to recall the old days.

In Yuzhang Prefect's Mansion, Liu Bei handed the letter paper to Guan Yu and Jian Yong with a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Wei now understands why Zhuo Ao wanted to show his love to Brother Wei."

"What do you mean, big brother?" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei.

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun stationed troops in Xiakou, and Jing Sheng urged me to go to Xiangyang one after another. It seems that Jing Sheng has doubts about me." Liu Bei sighed.

"So what? We didn't intend to make things difficult for him, but he came to make things difficult for us. Brother, this Xiangyang is impossible to go. Once we go, the country we have worked so hard to build will be in vain. Let me say, this Xiangyang can't go, if Liu Jingsheng really dares to fight, let him know how powerful Grandpa Zhang is, there are me and my second brother, Zilong, and Ziyi, just relying on Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, two rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs, if you don't come, it's okay Well, if he dares to come, let him come and go!" Zhang Fei said loudly.

"Impossible!" Liu Bei frowned and said, "In this way, you will be in the middle of Zhuo Ao's plan to sow discord!"

"Brother, are you saying that all of this is Zhuo Ao's plan?" Guan Yu frowned.

"Second brother, think about it. Back then when the tiger prison was locked up, although Zhuo Ao was dazzling, he almost single-handedly turned against Lv Bu and turned Lv Bu against Dong Zhuo. At that time, the three of you and I were not even counted as a town of princes, but We have met each other a few times, so there is no friendship at all. Now that he has seized his state and county, he does not come to attack, but instead sends money and food, and makes a big fuss. Everyone knows it. If you are Jingsheng, you know this What will you think after the incident?" Liu Bei asked with a wry smile.

"This guy is so vicious, brother, don't worry, wait for me to take three thousand soldiers and horses, go to Jianye, and kick his head to my brother!" Zhang Fei stared.

"No!" Liu Bei shook his head again and said, "Since we entered Jiangdong, no matter whether he is trying to alienate us or not, Zhuo Ao has treated us well. Now that we are attacking him for no reason, what will the people of the world think of us?"

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what should we do?" Zhang Fei roared angrily.

"Go back to Xiangyang!" Liu Bei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

"What!?" Zhang Fei jumped up anxiously, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, this Jiangdong was fought hard by our brothers, and it's just handed over to others, and those bastards are cheap for nothing? I don't accept it."

Guan Yu was also somewhat reluctant and said: "Brother, what the third brother said is not unreasonable. Since it is Zhuo Ao's plan, we can write to Liu Jingzhou to explain our interests. Why lose the foundation?"

"If anyone is unwilling, they can stay. Even if there is only Bei, Bei must go to Xiangyang." Liu Bei said decisively.

"Brother is leaving, what's the use of our brothers staying?" Zhang Fei muttered, Liu Bei immediately recalled Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Guan Pingping generals, took a team of followers and official seals, and left across the river.

"My lord, Liu Bei is gone." Lu Lingqi, Guan Hai, Gan Ning and other generals came in and said to Zhuo Ao.

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Zhuo Ao looked at several people suspiciously.

"Xiangyang, my lord is really powerful, then Liu Biao really became suspicious of Liu Bei, and recalled Liu Bei back to Xiangyang with an edict." Gan Ning said with a smile.

"I underestimated him." Zhuo Ao shook his head, what he hoped most, naturally, was for Liu Bei to fight Liu Biao to the death. Looking at it now, it is no wonder that Liu Bei's decisiveness and keen sense of politics were able to achieve great things in the future.

If Liu Bei chooses to stay, covet Yuzhang's place, and fight Liu Biao to death, no matter how good his reasons are, he will not be able to run away by betraying his master, and the reputation he has accumulated through his hard life will be in vain, even if the two sides do not turn against each other. It seems that Liu Bei has a stable foothold, but in fact he is locked in Yuzhang. Unless Liu Biao or Zhuo Ao perish one day, he will never have a bright future.

After Liu Bei left, the death situation that Zhuo Ao set for him was resolved by Liu Bei just like this. It was easy to pick up but hard to put down. There are definitely not many people in this world who can have Liu Bei's courage.

"Leave as soon as you leave, send him a letter for me." Zhuo Ao said.

"My lord, should we launch an attack on Yuzhang immediately? After a year of training, our army has enough soldiers and provisions. Without Liu Bei's strong generals, Yuzhang and Luling counties are within easy reach." Lu Lingqi said in a deep voice. .

"Don't worry, although Liu Bei has left, the problem has not been resolved yet. Let's see who Liu Biao will send over. I want to let those aristocratic families know that in Jiangdong, it is useless for them to seek refuge with anyone other than us. Let them see Know who is the real master of Jiangdong." Zhuo Ao laughed.

Jiangdong is not anyone who wants to come here. Liu Bei has the reputation of the emperor's uncle, and he does not belong to any party, and Liu Bei does have a way of being a man. He can win over these aristocratic families to help him, so he will get Jiangdong when he comes. No matter who Liu Biao sends to Jiangdong, how to treat these Jiangdong families is a problem they have to face.

The Jingzhou aristocratic family naturally had to take the interests of Jingzhou as the basis. In this way, the interests of the Jiangdong aristocratic family would inevitably be violated. The county's aristocratic family really belonged, because Liu Biao himself represented the interests of the Jingzhou Group.

"My lord, I don't know when we will send troops?" Lu Lingqi frowned. Since Zhuo Ao came back, although she can clearly feel that the status of the prefect's mansion has been steadily strengthened this year, and the annual income has more than tripled compared to previous years. , and the army is stronger, but there is only one thing that makes a group of generals feel bored, that is, this year, there has not been a single battle, and any matter in Zhuo Ao's hands can be resolved quickly without any action at all, even those who In the past, the aristocratic families with eyes higher than the top, now see these old 'thieves' with lowered eyebrows, which makes them feel quite proud, but as generals, if they can't fight in the battlefield, what use are they? .

"Don't worry, if all goes well, we don't need to send troops within three months, and the Yuzhang family will come to ask us to send troops. At that time, it will be the best time to send troops."

After Zhuo Ao finished speaking, a group of generals breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most afraid of was that Zhuo Ao had already made arrangements in advance to take down Yuzhang without bloodshed. It was great to follow such a lord, but he felt aggrieved It's really aggrieved, the military commander is like a decoration.

"Generals, I have to remind you, soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the way of life and death, must not be used as a last resort, and it is best not to use soldiers to solve the problems, but you must not slack off in training. Now, go back to the camp to prepare, Within three months, there will be a battle for you to fight." Zhuo Ao glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will retire at the end." Hearing this, everyone hurriedly saluted solemnly, the aura that Zhuo Ao exuded at that moment made everyone feel chills.

"Husband, how long do you think this battle will take?" After everyone left, Xiao Zhao and others gathered around and looked at Zhuo Ao and said.

"Didn't you say it just now? We should see the outcome in three months." Zhuo Ao raised his head and said.

"It's not about that." Xiao Zhao shook his head.

"Oh." Zhuo Ao was stunned, and said with a smile: "Quickly, ten years, are you tired?"

"It's not that I'm tired, I'm just worried that my husband's affairs will be delayed." Xiao Zhao said apologetically.

"The time tassel is different. One day outside is almost three years. Even if it is ten years, it is only four or five days outside. Moreover, I have left a clone outside. Once there is something important, I will know." Zhuo Ao knocked Looking at the five people at the table, he said: "But starting today, you have to learn to gradually hide behind the scenes."

"Why?" Xiao Zhao looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously: "Didn't Husband say that you want us to help Husband?"

"That was at the beginning. After all, you were the former owners of this place. Everyone is used to your position. If you disappear rashly, everyone will have other thoughts. Now that the situation has stabilized, you are no longer suitable to stay in front of the stage." Zhuo proudly said.

"Is it because we are women?" Xiao Zhao asked puzzled.

"It's one reason, but the most important reason is that you are my women." Zhuo Ao looked at Xiao Zhao and said with a smile, "If you charge forward, how will you be credited? How will other generals go out at the same time as you, how should you deal with yourself? If you don’t compete with the generals, if you go to the front line to charge, even if you win every battle, you will be criticized by others, and you will get all the credit, so what are the others doing?”

"What about Lu Lingqi, Zou Yulan, Sun Shangxiang, and Zhang Ning? Will they be gradually hidden?" Xiao Zhao wondered.

"Looking at their own wishes, our current situation is different from other princes. There is no need to stick to the rules. Moreover, Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang have enough prestige in the army. If they want to stay in the army, I will not stop them. But if you want to leave, I won't persuade you."

Xiao Zhao nodded, feeling a little complicated. At the beginning when they begged Zhuo Ao to stay, they hoped that Zhuo Ao could help them see the ambitions in their hearts. Now the situation has improved, but the original wish seems a little unimportant.

"Okay, don't think about it too much. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. As long as they are willing, I will help them solve their problems one by one."

"Well, thank you husband."
