"Mang'er, you are in Jingzhou, so you can spend some time with Uncle Jingsheng."
Liu Bei tidied his son's clothes and comforted him: "Zilong, Shizai will be with you, you don't have to be afraid."
Liu Mang wanted Zhao Yun and Deng Ai to leave, but unfortunately Liu Bei refused to do so no matter what.
Staying in Xiangyang will be one step closer to Cao Cao.
Liu Mang's idea was very simple. Jingzhou surrendered to thousands of people and sent him to Cao Cao to claim credit. It was a popular choice.
As for whether it was Liu Biao's intention or Mrs. Cai's advice to let him stay in Xiangyang, Liu Mang didn't care at all.
"Father, just leave."
"My son, take care!"
Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to leave Xiangyang City.
"Brother, I think Liu Jingsheng has been dead for a long time, why do you insist on keeping him alive?"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and frowned: "Could it be that he is afraid that his brother will seize his Jingzhou and make Mang'er a hostage?"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he cursed loudly: "Liu Jingshengtian is shameless! The three of my brothers defeated Xiahou Dun. If they were plotting against Jingzhou, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until he is dead?"
Liu Bei was upset because he couldn't see Liu Biao's intentions clearly.
"Yun Chang, Yide, don't talk nonsense! Jing Sheng is a kind and kind elder, and he is definitely not someone who threatens the younger generations."
Liu Bei sighed: "Now that Cao Cao's army is invading, we'd better go back to Xinye first and think about how to deal with the enemy!"
The three brothers had no choice but to rush back to Xinye at starry night.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong managed the armament, and with the blessing of Quyuanli, Liu Bei's army harvested sufficient food and grass this year.
Pang Tong ordered Gan Ning to send grain and grass to Jiangxia.
"Military advisor, all the food has been sent to Jiangxia, what will we eat in Xinye?"
"Don't worry, General. I'm afraid we won't be here in Xinye for a long time."
Pang Tong replied calmly, then looked at Zhuge Liang, "Do you really believe what that girl said?"
"Don't worry, Shiyuan, I have made a deal with her. Lu Fengxian's daughter is actually an honest person."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently, looked at the baggage shipped to Jiangxia, and sighed: "What a pity! I already have feelings when I live in Xinye, but now I want to destroy this county with my own hands."
Pang Tong stepped forward and comforted him: "It doesn't matter! Once we defeat Cao Cao, we will rebuild the new country! I just don't know what Mr. Liu Mang and Liu Jingsheng want!"
Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are not omniscient or omnipotent, at least they cannot see what Liu Biao is thinking.
"With General Zilong here, the young master will be safe."
"Uncle Zhi has led Bai Ge to sneak into Xiangyang. Once things change, he and Zilong will join forces inside and outside. Who will be their opponent in Jingzhou?"
"Kong Ming, you are really thoughtful."
Pang Tong nodded and said: "It's a pity that our lord is kind and refuses to capture Jingzhou. Otherwise, with the money and food in Jingzhou, why should we be afraid of Cao Cao!"
Zhang Fei listened to the two men talking and felt that it was so confusing that he couldn't figure it out.
"You two stupid chickens, can you tell me, Lao Zhang, that you understand something? That's bad luck!"
After saying a few words, Zhang Fei left angrily and continued to train his soldiers.
With Liu Mang's previous reminder, Zhang Fei could not resist whipping the soldiers no matter how angry he was.
Instead, he deliberately imitated Guan Yu, eating and living with the soldiers to increase their affection.
Unfortunately, the snoring was too loud and was unanimously opposed by the soldiers.
General Zhang, please don’t come and live with us!
Fortunately, Zhang Fei listened to others' advice, which made Liu Bei very happy about this, and he couldn't help but praise Liu Mang in private.
However, the emperor's uncle had a tough mouth and was still a treacherous person in front of others.
…
Xiangyang.
Mrs. Cai took the decoction, looked at the seriously ill Liu Biao, and said with a smile: "My lord, it's time to take the medicine!"
"Let Mang'er feed me! Get out of here."
"My lord, if you want to feed me, let Cong'er do it. After all, Liu Mang is just your nephew!"
"I'm not dead yet, I have the final say in Jingzhou!"
Liu Biao's tone was unquestionable, and Mrs. Cai's pillow talk didn't work, so she had to put down the medicine bowl and order someone to call Liu Mang.
"Get out! Don't stand behind the screen!"
"you……"
Liu Biao's tiger eyes opened slightly, just like the fierce tiger that first entered the nine counties of Jingxiang.
Mrs. Cai snorted coldly and then left the room.
As long as Liu Biao dies, the Cai family will have the final say in Jingzhou!
Liu Mang saw Mrs. Cai, whose chest was heaving with anger. She looked at her coldly. Liu Mang provocatively glanced at Mrs. Cai's plump body, which made her retreat.
"uncle."
Liu Mang picked up the medicine bowl, sniffed it, and frowned.
"Is this the prescription prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing?"
"No! It should be the prescription your aunt ordered someone to find."
Liu Mang was speechless for a moment. As a couple, Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai were really weird.
This medicinal soup has no benefit to Liu Biao's body.
Liu Biao was already weak and could not be replenished, so Mrs. Cai ordered people to find some great replenishing things.
This has been going on for a long time, so it's surprising that Liu Biao's health has improved.
"Mang'er, I no longer care whether this medicinal soup works or not."
Liu Biao fondly touched Liu Mang's forehead, "You are my Qilin'er of the Han family, and your qualifications far surpass those of Xuande and I, let alone Liu Cong and Liu Qi."
"The Cai family and the Kuai family are short-sighted. If I were not here, how could Cao Cao let them go?"
"It's a pity that a woman's opinion is insignificant! Manger, tell uncle whether you are willing to take Jingzhou?"
Liu Mang quickly shook his head. He was still anxious to die and waiting to return to the modern world. How could he have time to be the Lord of Jingzhou?
"Sure enough, they are all benevolent lords just like Xuande!"
"Uncle, actually you misunderstood..."
"Haha! Xuande and I both heard what you and Liu Cong said that day."
Liu Biao said happily: "I just raised Liu Cong, but I didn't teach him how to be a man who stands upright."
"Although you are younger than Liu Cong, you taught him how to stand up instead of kneeling in front of Cao Cao."
"I feel so relieved to have you in the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Mang just wanted to explain Liu Biao's emotion.
To sum it up simply: "I'm in Jingzhou and I just want to vote for Cao Cao. I'm waiting online! It's urgent!"
Liu Biao warned: "Wenpin and Zhang Yun are both people I trust. Manger, you can boldly use them! Ahem!"
Wenpin? He’s just a fool!
As for Zhang Yun, the deputy commander of the navy, he already wears the same trousers as Cai Mao.
"Uncle, actually you have quite a lot of talents under your command. Li Yan and Huo Jun, I think they are both pretty good!"
"Since you trust me, let the two of them come under your command, ahem!"
"Uncle, there's no need for that!"
"It doesn't matter! I will order them to come under your command!"
Liu Mang felt bitter in his heart. He just wanted to tell Liu Biao that you always have a bad way of looking at people!
"How about letting them stay with Liu Cong?"
"He knows how to know and use people? He has been detected by Cai for a long time!"
Liu Biao dragged his tired body and said with a smile: "Mang'er, you will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year, right? I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to wait until that time."
"Fortunately, uncle has prepared a big gift for you!"
Liu Mang sighed and said: "Uncle, if you want to protect Jingzhou, you might as well give me to Cao Cao. It will be a big gift!"
