After Jian Yong and Mi Fang were captured and returned to Xuchang, Cao Cao treated them quite politely at first.
Although Jian and Mi are not outstanding in ability, they have followed Liu Bei for a long time and have an extraordinary status in Liu Bei's camp. If these two people can turn sides and help each other, although it will not be of much use in specific matters, the significance will definitely be extraordinary.
However, Cao Cao also knew that these two people followed Liu Bei for more than a day or two. Their loyalty to Liu Bei had probably been engraved in their bones for a long time, and it might not be possible to make them betray.
Cao Cao did not insist on this. It would be best if these two people defected, and their benefits would naturally be indispensable. If they failed to surrender, then just kill them.
Jian Yong's loyalty to Liu Bei could not be shaken at all. Faced with Cao Cao's envoys who wanted to surrender, Jian Yong simply ignored him. In the end, he died with his head held high and was buried generously by Cao Cao's order.
But to Cao Cao's surprise, Mi Fang, who was captured together with Jian Yong, surrendered very easily.
Even before the envoy sent by Cao Cao could speak, Mi Fang took the lead in expressing her willingness to surrender.
It's not that Cao Cao has never seen the behavior of surrendering to his master. He even has many people under his command who are surrendered generals. But like Mi Fang, who rushes to surrender after being captured without even waiting for him to recruit him, Cao Cao is in trouble.
It's really rare to see it.
You know, that guy was Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and he surrendered to him without any hesitation. In this regard, Cao Cao could only sigh, after all, there is no shortage of villains like Mi Fang in the world who have no sense of loyalty.
However, since Mi Fang surrendered, Cao Cao naturally took the initiative and granted him a false position with no real power, and added the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Although it was just a false title, Mi Fang was already very satisfied. He had no ambition to begin with, and he knew very well how much he had. It was simply impossible for him to be reused by Cao Cao, who had so many talented people under his command. Nowadays, he has no ambitions.
Somehow, I have the title of Marquis of Guannei, which is more or less a nobleman. If I follow Liu Bei around, I'm afraid I will have no hope of becoming a Marquis for the rest of my life.
Thinking of this, Mi Fang couldn't help but feel that her action of surrendering to Cao couldn't be more correct, and the trace of guilt she had for betraying Liu Bei disappeared.
——————————————————————————————————After Liu Bei’s disastrous defeat, he still returned to Jingzhou with the idea of lucky, hoping that Liu Biao could gain access to the Internet
Let him continue to live in the new wilderness.
For this reason, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian as an envoy to Xiangyang, hoping to persuade Liu Biao.
At first, Liu Biao wanted to be merciful and allow Liu Bei to station in Xinye. After all, the news that Ma Teng and Sun Jian had been defeated one after another had come. He really needed someone to act as a barrier to continue to resist Cao Cao. However, his idea was blocked by Cai Mao.
Even the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who usually did not share the same heart with Cai Mao, stood on Cai Mao's side this time and firmly opposed continuing to take Liu Bei in.
Everyone even suggested that troops should be sent out immediately to capture and kill Liu Bei.
In this expedition, Cai Mao was the main general and Kuai Yue joined the army. Naturally, the Cai family was indispensable in the army. The children of the Kuai family went to gild. These children of the noble family can be said to be the rising stars of the two families, but they were almost killed or injured in this battle.
After all, how could this not make the heads of the two major families hate Liu Bei to the core.
Originally, in their eyes, this battle was a must-win battle, so they sent outstanding children from the family into the army to gain qualifications.
However, the battle was ultimately lost and suffered heavy losses.
The reason for all this can be attributed to Liu Bei's betrayal, ulterior motives, and unauthorized raid on Wancheng. If not for this, if Liu Bei's troops had stayed behind to join the Jingzhou Army in resisting Cao's surprise attack, how would it be possible for them to be defeated?
Even if Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were usually calm, after losing so many outstanding disciples at once, they couldn't be calm anymore, and they all turned their anger on Liu Bei.
Although they knew that under the current situation, it was best to keep Liu Bei in Xinye to resist Cao Cao, but they just couldn't stand this hateful villain operating under their noses.
What's more, during the Battle of Wancheng, Liu Bei's new ambition had appeared. If he was still left in Xinye, he might be an unstable factor and might not be reliable.
The Cai family and the Kuai family were the two most powerful families in Jingzhou. They jointly opposed Liu Bei's admission, and Liu Biao could not overrule their opinions.
However, the suggestion of sending people to capture Liu Bei was still suppressed by Liu Biao. For Liu Biao, Liu Bei had the title of imperial uncle after all, and he was from the same clan as himself, so the capture was too much.
However, Liu Biao was kind-hearted. Although Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue hated Liu Bei, they did not want to do anything too extreme, but Cai Mao was different.
After Sun Qian left the city, Cai Mao sent people to catch up and kill him. Then he used his own private soldiers to kill Liu Bei where he was stationed.
In Cai Mao's heart, Liu Bei must die as soon as possible. Even if he is allowed to live for a moment longer, Cai Mao will feel extremely sick.
