"No!"

Someone proposed that Liu Bei lead the army south to deal with Liu Jing and Sun Quan. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Xian, Pang Ji and others.

Pang Jisurong said: "Liu Yuzhou is an outstanding figure in the world. He has always been talented and ambitious, and has won the hearts of the people. He is not someone who has been under others for a long time. Now the general uses it to guard Xinye to prepare for Duke Cao. The enemy is on his side. Liu Yuzhou

Naturally, we have no time to worry about him. If we let him lead his troops south to attack Liu Jing and Sun Quan, it would be like letting a tiger into the forest."

Liu Xian nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Liu Yuzhou is a powerful place. You are not allowed to enter. If you enter, you will be harmed. I hope the general will notice clearly."

Of course Liu Biao wanted to borrow Liu Bei's force to solve the current predicament, but he knew better that he could not control Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is completely different from Zhang Xiu and his like. Less than half a year after he came to join him, the heroes of Jingzhou rushed to join him. Liu Biao was shocked, suspicious, and deeply worried. If he was like this under his eyes, would it be okay if he was allowed to go south?

Besides, if Liu Bei goes south, who will resist Cao Cao for him?

In the Battle of Guandu in the early winter of the previous year, Cao Cao almost wiped out Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops. However, after Yuan Shao fled back to Hebei, he gathered his disciples and suppressed the rebellion. His strength was still not to be underestimated. Cao Cao was temporarily unable to enter Hebei.

The two sides are currently in a stalemate. If Cao Cao hears that Jingzhou is under siege by Liu Jing and Sun Quan, Liu Biao is sure that Cao Cao will never let go of such a good opportunity and will definitely send troops south to take advantage of it. After all, in today's world, people can

Apart from Yuan Shao, the only person Cao Cao was afraid of was him.

Liu Biao opened his mouth and said: "Liu Jing, although Sun Quan has many troops, he is still worthy of his victory, but Cao Mengde is a solitary enemy. Liu Xuande has the important task of defending the north and cannot be moved lightly."

When the ministers heard this, they felt extremely heavy. Facing Liu Jing and Sun Quan, Jingzhou still had the strength to fight, but if Cao Cao also raised his troops to attack, Jingzhou would most likely be overturned.

Han Song, the minister in charge, couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart. At first, he, Deng Xi and others tried their best to advise Liu Biao that as a clan member, he should respect the country, stay away from Yuan Shao, and not form an alliance with him. Unfortunately, Liu Biao didn't listen. If Liu Biao had listened to their advice, what would happen?

As for today’s worries?

Thinking of this, Han Song added: "The general's concern is also Song's concern. Cao Gong felt the country's danger and defeat, felt the bitterness of the people, and asked the emperor to attack the rebellion. Now he defeated Yuan Shao and settled the Eastern Xia.

It is truly invincible in the world."

Han Song seemed not to notice Liu Biao's increasingly serious expression, and continued: "Now that Jingzhou is in danger, the general should immediately cut off contact with Yuan Shao, send his son to Xudu, meet the emperor and Duke Cao, express his feelings, eliminate the grudge, and turn the hostility into friendship.

.In the future, the generals and Duke Cao will be like the Duke of Zhou and the Grand Duke of Zhou assisted King Cheng of Zhou in the past. One on the left and the other on the right, supporting the emperor and maintaining it. The world is still not stable. What about Liu Jing and Sun Quan's disciples?!"

Liu Biao frowned deeply, and the officials were silent. Only Han Song's voice echoed in the hall.

When Han Song finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Biao, waiting for his decision.

Liu Biao looked at the ministers in the hall, and felt a little sad in his heart. These people were all his confidants, but at this moment, most of them agreed with Han Song's proposal. There were only a few who really thought about him wholeheartedly.

What's even more sad is that Liu Biao now has to carefully consider Han Song's proposal.

Liu Biao thought for a long time and made a decision. He regarded himself as an elder and had the most reputation in his life. If he broke the alliance, he would be criticized and his reputation would be affected. Now that he was far from the end of the road, he did not want to break the alliance, but in order to get rid of the current predicament.

, he is willing to "show goodwill" to Cao Cao.

"One conversation made Gu wake up from his dream." Liu Biao sighed: "Gu and Cao Mengde had no enmity at all. In the past, they even joined forces to attack Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. The rebellion between the two sides also started when Cao Mengde launched an army in Nanyang for no reason. It was not Gu's intention.

If both parties can put aside their past grudges and rebuild old friendships, this will be a blessing to the country."

Liu Biao first found a place for himself to step down, and then asked Han Song: "I wonder if you would like to be an isolated envoy and work as a tribute in Xudu?"

Liu Biao never mentioned sending his son as a hostage. He was forced to surrender to Cao Cao due to the situation, but sending his son as a hostage was equivalent to surrendering to Cao Cao, which had already exceeded his psychological bottom line.

Liu Biao had no intention of betraying Yuan Shao, nor did he want to send his son as a hostage, which made Han Song a little disappointed. However, Liu Biao still made a key change. Han Song bowed and accepted the order: "Song is willing to make a promise to the general.

None of Liu Xian, Pang Ji, Kuai Liang and other important ministers objected to this. Only Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong and nephew Zhang Yun had doubts.

Liu Biao secretly shook his head and brought the topic back to aiding Jiangling and Jiangxia. This is the top priority right now.

Liu Bei and even the troops from Zhangling and Nanyang in the north cannot move, and the only option is to dispatch troops from Xiangyang. Now there are 20,000 troops in Xiangyang, and at most 10,000 people can be mobilized. No matter how many more Xiangyang is, it will not be stable.

Jingzhou is called Jingman in China for no reason. Xiangyang and Nanyang, the southern capital, seem to be separated by only a river. However, there are a large number of barbarians living in its territory, especially in the Yishui area. If Xiangyang has few soldiers, it will not be enough.

To deter barbarians, especially when there is an invasion from foreign enemies.

After some deliberation, Liu Biao finally decided to send his nephew Zhang Yun and general Wang Wei, each with 5,000 men, to go south to reinforce Liu Qi and Huang Zu.

…………

The news that Liu Jing and Sun Quan were attacking at the same time swept across the whole of Jingbei like a whirlwind. Liu Bei, who was in Xinye, naturally heard the news, so he was a little absent-minded while patrolling the camps for several days.

When Liu Bei took refuge with Tao Qian, Tao Qian directly gave him four thousand Danyang soldiers who were brave and good at fighting. Liu Biao was not as generous as Tao Qian and only gave him three thousand new soldiers composed of Guanzhong refugees. However, Liu Bei was not dissatisfied, plus the original

There are nearly a thousand people in the tribe, organized into four battalions, strictly enforce the military regulations, apply military discipline in detail, and drill day and night.

A few days later, Liu Bei received a letter from Liu Biao. When he opened it, he was shocked and angry.

Not only did Liu Biao have no intention of sending him south, but he actually wanted to shake hands with Cao Cao and make peace. Although Liu Biao repeatedly explained in his letter that this was just a temporary measure and not a real surrender to Cao Cao, it still disappointed Liu Bei.

At this time, a majestic tiger general with a gnarled beard and beard stood up and asked impatiently: "General, Liu Jingzhou's letter this time asks me to go south to help him defeat the enemy?" This man was exactly that.

Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei is on par with Guan Yu.

Liu Bei shook his head and handed the letter to his subordinate Wen Wu Chuan for reading.

Zhang Fei had a bad temper. After reading the letter, he immediately became furious and said, "It's a waste of time that I always thought that Liu Jingzhou was a hero in the world for resisting Cao Cao. I didn't expect him to be so helpless!"

Liu Bei sighed and said: "Wide virtue, be careful what you say."

Zhang Fei still couldn't calm down, and continued to vent: "It's just Liu Jing and Sun Quan, why worry about it? If Liu Jingzhou takes the general as the general, then my eldest brother (Guan Yu) and I will act as the vanguard to defeat Jingnan, and the people in Jiangdong will easily turn back.

, why do you need to bow to Cao Cao and beg for mercy?!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, deeply convinced.

He and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei across the Central Plains for more than ten years, and became heroes all over the world. They created a great reputation and were praised by the world as "the enemy of ten thousand people".

Young boys like Sun Ce and Liu Jing would have no place in the Central Plains. Only in the desolate south of the Yangtze River could they have a chance to rise. In Guan Yu's view, there were no heroes in the south, which made Zhuzi famous.

As for Sun Quan, who was enjoying his success, Guan Yu didn't even bother to talk about it.

Liu Jing, Sun Quan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei didn't take them seriously at all, so they each led an army. Not only to retreat from the enemy, but also to seize their Jingnan and Jiangdong foundations, it was unknown.

Liu Bei couldn't help sighing with emotion. Zhang Fei's words spoke directly to his heart. How unwise is it for Liu Biao to abandon the near and seek the far away!

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Liu Jingzhou surrenders to Cao Cao today, and will betray the general tomorrow. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to recruit the refugees from Guanzhong in Nanyang, leave Wuguan, and join the Third Assistant. With the reputation of the general, and with us as minions, why?

Worried about not being able to lay a foundation?"

The three assistants are Jing Zhaoyin, Fengyi on the left, and Fufeng on the right, which is Guanzhong in a narrow sense. At present, the three assistants are only nominally attached to Cao Cao. Zhong Yao, the commander of the school, is located in Luoyang, east of Hangu Pass.

The actual rulers of Sanfu were Han Sui, Ma Teng and other generals in Guanzhong.

Liu Bei rejected Zhang Fei's suggestion without even thinking about it. Although the generals in Guanzhong were constantly fighting among themselves, they were like a piece of scattered sand. However, once an outsider invaded, they would definitely stop their internal fighting, unite and fight against the outside world. With Liu Bei's strength, it was not enough.

To gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

Moreover, Liu Biao is now in a critical moment. Liu Bei has always been a man of benevolence and righteousness. It would be harmful to him to turn his back on Liu Biao at this time.
