Liu Biao rode a cavalry to Jingzhou, not only pacified the thief who was once prosperous in a short time, but also followed the control of the four counties in Xuanjingnan.

During this period, Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to resist Sun Quan in Xiakou, and reported that Wu Ju was the prefect of Cangwu and was involved in Jiaozhou. He secretly colluded with Zhao Wei to plan Yizhou, and with Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, and even Cao Cao, who is now in the north, was sentenced to the serpent.

It can be southeast, southwest and northwest, and everyone in Liu Biao is planning.

In terms of ability and behavior, he is far superior to Wang Rui, the previous one.

But at this time, Liu Biao was over 60 years old and his body gradually aging. His original ambitions were gradually wiped out by the powerful people of Jingzhou, such as Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang.

Liu Biao knew that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were plotting to get rid of Liu Bei, but he was indeed ill at that time, so he tacitly agreed to this matter, otherwise how could Zhang Ben get the tiger talisman?

Before Jian Yong came to raise an army to question the crime, in order to maintain his good reputation, Liu Biao used tricks to remove Zhang Ben's military power, and Cai Mao even mercilessly robbed the three tribes, which was considered an explanation to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard Yi Ji's explanation. Zhang Ben was obviously Liu Biao's confidant, so he was abandoned by his master. It was really heartbreaking to hear it.

In fact, Liu Biao originally planned to kill Zhang Ben, but unfortunately, Cai Mao wanted to kill the roots and attacked them quickly and ruthlessly.

Yiji said: "The envoy does not have to doubt it. Zhang Ben should have been won over by Sun Quan. He wanted to cause internal turmoil in Jingzhou and Jiangdong would like to benefit from it. This must be Zhou Yu's plan."

Lan Tian was funny when he heard it beside him, thinking that Liu Biao actually turned the blame on Zhou Lang, and Zhou Gongjin should be more good at planning than Kuai Yue.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Xianhe is ready to say it when he comes back, but he is also bothering Lao Jibo to go there."

"The lord sent me to Xinye. In addition to explaining the whole story clearly, he also brought some money to pay for the casualties and soldiers..." Yiji continued.

"Governor Su has already given it to you. Wouldn't it be repeated if the Lord of the Mansion sends you again?" Liu Bei said.

"After all, it's an undesirable disaster, so it's repeated. The lord asked the envoy to go to Xiangyang for a lecture." Yi Ji said.

"I'll go after finishing my work." Liu Bei nodded and responded.

After Yiji left, Liu Bei asked Xu Shu and Lantian: "Yuanzhi, Ziyu, can Xiangyang go?"

"If the lord doesn't go, Liu Biao can't stay in peace, so he can bring General Zilong with him." Xu Shu thought for a while and said.

After hearing Xu Shu, Liu Bei looked at Lantian again, and Lantian nodded and said, "The military advisor's words are very good. Liu Jingsheng did not hesitate to kill his confidant and prove himself, and he also wanted to protect his own feathers. He avoided the hidden arrows. Why are you afraid of a spear? Brother-in-law can go there with peace of mind."

"That's good." Liu Bei said with confidence.

"Lord, my little sister is about to give birth..." Mi Zhu hurriedly ran and said.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this and quickly said to the two of them: "Let's part today, Zi Zhong and I go quickly."

It's strange that after Liu Bei accepted his adopted son Liu Feng, Mi Zhen and Gan Qian were pregnant two months ago, and he still hoped to have a biological son.

After Liu Bei and Mi Zhu left in a hurry, Xu Shu was also ready to leave.

Lan Tian asked, "It's still early this day, where is Yuanzhi going?"

"My mother is at home and has nothing to do. I want her to help her lord." Xu Shu said.

"Then go quickly, I'll invite you to drink tonight." Lantian invited.

Xu Shu looked at him with surprise. Although Lantian was Liu Bei's brother-in-law, he had always been low-key in Xinye and had basically not had close contact with anyone, which made outsiders think that he was hard to speak.

"Is there anything wrong with Ziyu?" Xu Shu asked in confusion.

"Well, I want to have a deeper chat with you." Lantian nodded and said.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue plotted against Liu Bei, and Liu Biao was so calm that Lan Tian thought that he could no longer be passive, and the situation might be worse than history.

Although Lantian is not good at playing politics and strategy, some people are at ease and it is time to invite Kong Ming out.

Xu Shu nodded and replied, "I will definitely arrive tonight."

Liu Bei valued Lantian very much. His residence in Xinye was diagonally opposite the county government. During this period, because Dengjiazhuang was collecting grain and Liu Bei often asked him for advice, he stayed in the county town.

In the evening, Lantian raised the stove at home and set up a pot to boil wine and cook vegetables.

After Xu Shu arrived, Lantian taught him to simmer mutton in the pot and put it on a simple dip that he prepared himself. Xu Shu almost swallowed his tongue when he ate it.

"Ziyu is really a wonderful idea. This is the first time I have seen this way of eating it." Xu Shu sighed.

Lantian picked up a piece of mutton and put it in a copper pot. After rinsing it for a few rinses, it took out. Then he said meaningfully: "Looking at the states and counties in the world, does it look like the mutton in my hand? If the rinsing time is not enough, the meat is not cooked and it will easily hurt the stomach and intestines. If the rinsing time is too long, the meat will be old and the ginger will lose its flavor."

"What does Ziyu want to say?" Xu Shu put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass and said.

"I mean Jingzhou is this mutton. Yuanzhi thought it would take for it to be eaten?" Lan Tian asked.

"The lord is now living in Xinye, and Ziyu is farming and growing grain in Dengjiazhuang. Although we occasionally win small victories in Bowangpo, it will take some time to plan for Jingzhou. At least it is not the time, and the meat is not ripe." Xu Shu analyzed.

"If I had been sucked for too long, this piece of mutton would probably belong to Cao Cao, so who should suck this piece of meat is the most important thing." Lan Tian said.

"Can Ziyu be smear?" Xu Shu asked in confusion.

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "I understand the truth, but I can't do it well. Can Yuanzhi do it?"

Xu Shu also shook his head and said, "I am not as good as Zi Yu when I look at the general trend of the world."

Lantian drank a sip of wine, stood up and looked out the window and said, "My brother-in-law passed by Mr. Shuijing's manor the last time. The gentleman recommended Wolong and Fengchu, saying that they had great talents, and they could be at peace with the world if they got one. I guess Yuan Zhi must know him, so why not invite them out of the mountain to bring disaster to the world?"

Xu Shu was born in Yingchuan and knew that these gentry attacked each other for the sake of profit. There were very few people like Lantian who were in a bright mind. With his talent and background, he could be above him. But this guy gave up his important position as a military advisor. Now he is planning for the lord and wants to invite Wolong and Fengchu out of the mountain.

Although the talents of Zhuge’s four friends are different, in essence, Cui Jun, Meng Jian, Shi Tao and Xu Shu are all the same. They just want to find stability in troubled times, which in turn also shows Zhuge Liang’s tenacious quality.

Faced with Xu Shu like this, Lantian felt that he could guide him. As long as he helped Liu Bei become bigger and stronger, he would still be able to enjoy peace and would not leave for his mother.

Seeing Xu Shu silent, Lan Tian added: "There is a saying in my hometown that only in the pot and in the bowl. Now, only by helping the master to make a strong decision, Yuan Zhi and my relatives can benefit and be stable."

Xu Shu was extremely smart, so he could naturally understand Lantian's instructions. He said slowly: "Pang Tong, whose courtesy name is Shiyuan and his pseudonym Fengchu, is talented as Wang Zuo, but he was born in the Pang family in Xiangyang, and he probably wouldn't be an official easily..."

"Where is Wolong?"

"Wolong, whose surname is Zhuge, his name is Liang, his courtesy name is Kongming, and he is from Yangdu, Langya. He now lives in seclusion in Longzhong, Xiangyang, and often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi..."
