The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294
Liu Biao's personality is somewhat similar to Tao Qian's. They are both modest and gentlemen. Being a great Confucian is enough. It is not a big problem to let him manage common affairs. Being a prefect or governor in the peacetime period can do very well, but it is a pity. , now it is not the peace of the world, but the turmoil of the princes, the world is in dispute, the ruthless and the thick-skinned are the kingly way of survival.

Now he wants to bring Liu Xiao and Liu Bei together so that the two can get rid of their suspicions, but it is wishful thinking. Not to mention that Liu Bei is very wary of Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao is also worried about this big-eared thief. This is the originator of Houhei Xue Characters, if you don't pay attention, you will be bitten by him, and you must not underestimate them.

Liu Xiao led his people all the way, entered Jiangxia County from Huainan, and was protected by Wenpin and headed towards Xiangyang.

Danyang County.

The construction of Liu Bei's Stone City has already started, and Liu Bei is also very happy to win the whole Yangzhou, but the fly in the ointment is that Liu Biao actually transferred all Jingzhou soldiers back to Jingzhou when he had never heard of it. Time is in a hurry, especially the local aborigines in Yangzhou often make troubles, and those big families are even more difficult to deal with. As outsiders, it is not so easy to suppress the big families such as the Lu family, Zhou family, Zhang family, and Kan family .

Relying on the strategies of Pang Tong and Xu Shu, Liu Bei barely stabilized the situation, and then ordered Liu Feng and Guan Ping to start recruiting troops everywhere. In just three months, they recruited [-] to [-] troops and began to train strictly.

For no reason, Liu Xiao and Liu Biao put together again, Liu Bei was also very depressed, but Liu Bei also knew that his current strength was far from Liu Xiao, and that Lord Hades was really not something he could provoke now. Yes, if one day I merged Jingzhou and then took Jiaozhou, I might be able to fight Liu Xiao head-on. Now, relying on the six counties in Jiangdong is really far behind; as for Liu Biao, now we need Liu Biao even more. With the power to frighten Liu Xiao, it is definitely not the time to turn against Liu Biao.

After all, without Liu Biao, I would not be able to take down Jiangdong, and lent myself tens of thousands of elites to occupy Jiangdong in one breath. This kind of favor is a bit big. In a blink of an eye, I will fight against each other and seize Jingzhou. I am afraid that I will be ridiculed and insulted by the world. Never think about turning over for a lifetime.

In the end, this tone can only be held back secretly.

When Liu Bei was depressed, Liu Biao's messenger came to Danyang County and delivered the letter.

Liu Bei opened the letter and read it. He was shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Xiao actually took the joke seriously. He had just stabilized the situation in the north. Is the kid getting water in his head?What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Pang Tong saw that Liu Bei's face was a little strange, and asked.

Liu Bei let out a long breath, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Jing Sheng wrote a letter saying that Liu Xiao carried out his foreword and came to Jingzhou to pay his respects to his birthday. He is already on his way, and he is about to enter Jiangxia now, right? Jing Sheng please I went to Xiangyang to have a talk, intending to be a middleman for me and Liu Xiao, so that we can put aside our past differences and make up with each other..."

Pang Tong and Xu Shu were equally astonished. They also did not expect that Liu Xiao would have such courage to go to the meeting alone and come to Jingzhou to pay his respects to his birthday. You must know that both Huang Zu and Cai Mao died in Liu Xiao's hands. , Huang Zu is Liu Biao's confidant, and as for Cai Mao, he is not only a confidant, but also Liu Biao's in-laws. The two died tragically in Liu Xiao's attack. It can be said that this enmity is definitely not small.

Not only that, the Cai family is also known as the two prominent families in Jingzhou with the Jia family, and they are powerful. Even if Liu Biao doesn't mind Cai Mao's death, the Cai family will not give up easily.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think?"

Pang Tong asked in a deep voice.

Xu Shu shook his head and replied: "I can't see clearly. I can't see what Liu Xiao is trying to do. Simply win over Liu Jingsheng? There's no need. Even if he doesn't come to pay homage to his birthday, the relationship between him and Liu Jingsheng will be improved." Relaxing and returning Jiangxia can be said to have bribed Liu Biao. There is no need to do anything more. Is there any other purpose? I really don't understand what other purpose..."

Pang Tong sighed: "I also can't see through it. Liu Xiao's move is really unexpected. There is no need to come to Jingzhou without so many affairs in the Central Plains. Even if you want to pay birthday wishes, you only need to send a confidant. That's enough, Kong Rong and Xun Yu have enough weight, why should he come in person..."

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said, "That's right, both gentlemen can't see through it, so I don't understand it even more..."

Pang Tong suddenly sneered and said, "Since he's here, we can't let him go easily! Use some tricks to keep him in Jingzhou forever!"

Xu Shu was startled, and said in amazement: "Shi Yuan, what do you mean..."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "It's very simple. People in Jingzhou hate Liu Xiao to the bone. We only need a little provocation to provoke an incident. Kill Liu Xiao by other people's hands. As long as Liu Xiao dies, His subordinates have no leader, so they must fall apart. We can just take this opportunity to take Xuzhou and expand our strength. When the time comes, we will have Xuzhou and Jiangdong, go south to attack Jiaozhou, and go west to Jingzhou. Sitting in the land of the four states, we will be proud of the world. The lord's hegemony can be expected!"

"This plan is wonderful!"

Liu Bei clapped his hands and said: "Shi Yuan is right. The old friend of Huang Zu in Jingzhou, the Cai family hates Liu Xiao deeply. Just a little firewood is enough to ignite their anger, especially the Cai family. The great cause is great, and it is not impossible to recruit a group of killers to kill Liu Xiao! Once Liu Xiao dies, we can take the opportunity to go north and take Xuzhou!"

Xu Shu shook his head and replied: "My lord, you can't. First, Liu Xiao came here to pay his respects. We planned to kill him, which would leave a story and be despised by the world. Second, even if Liu Xiao was beheaded, The one with the most benefits is Cao Cao, now Cao Cao is sitting on Sili, Yanzhou and Yuzhou Bingzhou, and his strength is strong, once Liu Xiao dies, Cao Cao can definitely unify the Central Plains in a short time, and no one will be able to control it at that time!"

Pang Tong retorted: "Yuanzhi, at this time, there must be absolutely no benevolence of women; a small amount is not a gentleman, and a non-poisonous man is not a husband; moreover, even if Liu Bei is beheaded, the one who is reviled is Liu Biao, so what does it have to do with us? Second, although Liu Xiao died, the three counties of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou in the Central Plains are closely connected. Yue Fei, Xun Yu and others also have the talents of Wang Zuo. Qingzhou has the weakest control over it, and it is the best time for us to take down Xuzhou! Don’t miss this opportunity, never again!”

"Ok, deal!"

Liu Bei said firmly: "Even if Liu Jingsheng blames us, we have to take a risk. What's more, now that Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, and Wenpin are on good terms with us, even if Liu Biao turns his back on us, we are not afraid. If we seize Jingzhou, then we will not be unkind and unrighteous!"
