Zhou Cheng was in Liangzhou, step by step, forcing Han Sui and the Qiang people into a desperate situation.

The living space given to Han Sui gradually shrank as Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhang He, and the camp continued to advance.

The Qiang people who surrendered were dispersed in batches according to Zhou Cheng's arrangement and moved to military camps in various states and counties.

Compared with Zhou Cheng.

Under Cao Cao's tent, Xun Yu, Xun You and others had a quarrel over digging ancestral graves.

Of course, all the fingers are pointed at Cheng Yu.

Because it was Cheng Yu who mobilized the army and horses, and it was Cheng Yu who directed Cao's army to dig the tomb and steal the gold and silver in the tomb.

In fact, Xun Yu and others also knew that Cheng Yu was the one who came up with the idea at most. Without Cao Cao's acquiescence, Cheng Yu would not be able to implement it.

However, now that Cao Cao's reputation has been damaged, someone must take the blame.

Cheng Yu obviously also knew that he would be infamous for this matter, but Cheng Yu didn't care.

As a counselor, all he needs to do is do his best to help his lord overcome difficulties.

Although he is now infamy, he used the stolen money or pearls to obtain food that allowed the people of the city to survive.

It's all worth it.

If there is not enough food, Liu Biao will definitely not be able to consume it.

……

September 199 AD.

Yuan Shu took Ji Ling as his general and led 50,000 troops to attack Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan only had more than 10,000 troops and horses, so he was naturally defeated by Ji Ling.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan immediately retreated, while Ji Ling attacked Cao Ren again.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong joined forces with nearly 30,000 troops to defend the city.

Cao Ren's ability to defend the city is definitely ranked among the best among the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, no matter how Ji Ling attacked, Ji Ling still could not break the city, and the two sides could only confront each other.

At the same time, Liu Bei accepted Chen Gong's suggestion and led his troops to leave Chen Liu and go to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

Before setting off, Liu Bei sent Jian Yong as an envoy to take the first step and arrived in Xiangyang.

……

Xiangyang City, inside the Prefectural Mufu.

Liu Biao's energy has obviously improved recently.

The five thousand horses traded with Zhou Cheng gave him a lot of new confidence.

At the same time, Liu Biao also gained an advantage in the battle against Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin.

Although Zhang Jin took the initiative to attack and there were only a few major generals in Jiaozhou, Liu Biao seemed to only defend but not attack. However, he was secretly accumulating strength and preparing to deal with Zhang Jin in one fell swoop.

When Jian Yong came to Xiangyang, Liu Biao was tasting bacon and pickled vegetables.

These bacon and pickles can only be purchased from outside the Great Wall.

After Liu Biao and Zhou Cheng reached a war horse deal, trade between Jingzhou and Jizhou became more frequent.

Now Jingzhou's goods can be sold to Jizhou, and Jizhou can also sell goods from the north and beyond the Great Wall to Jingzhou.

The huge profits brought by trade allowed Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others to make a lot of money.

Liu Biao also hoped to buy more war horses.

Therefore, some concessions were made in terms of trade terms.

For example, the price of grain has always been settled at 50 yuan per stone, and Zhou Cheng did not increase the price.

When Jian Yong arrived, Liu Biao stopped singing and dancing.

Cai Mao said:"My lord, Liu Xuande was defeated by Cao Mengde, X Tai and Yuan Gongdao successively. He is just a mediocre person. My lord does not need to pay attention to it."

Cai Mao was very disgusted with Liu Bei's arrival.

Because, Liu Bei’s surname is Liu!

Liu Xian's current ability to gain a foothold in Jingzhou relies on Cai, Kuai and others.

And if Liu Bei is really talented, he will definitely be reused by Liu Biao and take away the power of Cai Mao and others.

This is not allowed by Cai Mao and others.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were the same, and they did not welcome Liu Bei very much.

Kuai Liang said:"My lord, although Liu Xuande achieved some military exploits during the Moth Thief Rebellion, he cannot be compared with Cao Mengde, X Wentai and others."

Liu Biao was kind on the surface, but the city was very deep. How could he not see it.

Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others all rejected Liu Bei.

However, Liu Biao met Jian Yong.

Cai Mao frowned, showing an unhappy expression.

Kuai Yue seemed to see something and stopped trying to persuade him.

After Jian Yong met Liu Biao, he presented Liu Bei's handwritten letter and explained Liu Bei's plight, hoping that Liu Biao could help the Han Dynasty and support Liu Bei with benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Biao said:"It's time for Jingzhou to recruit people, so Liu Xuande was temporarily left in Bowang to fight against Cao Mengde and the Zhou thieves."

If Liu Bei is really capable, he can use it to deal with Cao Cao.

On the other hand, if Liu Bei has a false reputation, let him be cannon fodder.

There are really too many descendants of the Liu family in the world.

How could Liu Biao really care about Liu Bei?

But Liu Biao also knew the situation and pattern of Jingzhou.

He wanted to weaken the wealthy families such as the Cai family and the Kuai family, slowly regain power from them, and strengthen his control over Jingzhou.

Later, Liu Biao asked Kuai Liang to prepare 50,000 shi of food and grass, and send them to Liu Bei's army when Liu Bei arrived in Bowang.

Jian Yong's forces expressed their gratitude:"On behalf of my lord, I would like to thank Ambassador Liu!"
