Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328
"Although I arrived in Jingxiang not long ago, I have also heard about Kong Ming's talent. It is rumored that if you win a dragon and a phoenix, you can win the world. As the saying goes, it is easy to gain and calm to lose. Now that I have a scholar, it is a blessing, and it should not be. If you want to look forward to Sichuan, you must be insatiable."

Liu Xie comforted himself, praised Feng Chu by the way, and asked a little unwillingly: "Shi Yuan knows, where did Zhuge Kongming go?"

"It's not easy for Kong Ming to go. With his help, the giant python and dragon may really turn into a real dragon and stir up the situation."

Pang Tong sighed slightly, his brother chose the most difficult path after all.

"Liu Bei!"

Although Pang Tong didn't say it clearly, Liu Xie reacted immediately.

I have to say that the inertia of history is really strong. Although there is no Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, Zhuge Liang still took the initiative to go and join Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei is currently preparing to participate in tomorrow's Liu surname banquet in Xiangyang City. Doesn't it mean that Zhuge Liang is also in Xiangyang now?
It's just that this is not so important to Liu Xie.

Zhuge Liang has always acted with stability first, and every decision he made must be carefully considered and will not be changed so easily, let alone such a major event as voting for the master, which is related to life and future.

Instead of focusing on Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie asked Pang Tong to track down the whereabouts of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

One of the two generals is old and strong, not inferior to the ancient innocence, and the other is superb in martial arts and has constant tricks.

Liu Xie wins, but Liu Bei loses. Between this and that, there is a huge gap in strength.

And Pang Tong did not disappoint Liu Xie. Relying on his well-connected relationship, he quickly found out the whereabouts of the two.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were not to be reused by Liu Biao. Originally, one was the captain of the city guard, and the other was just a junior general in the army, but for some reason, both of them suddenly disappeared.

Pang Tong found their family members, only to know that the two of them were invited into the mansion by Liu Biao to discuss important matters in the end, and they never came back.

In addition to the two of them, Jingzhou general Wenpin, Liu Biao's son Liu Pan and other military generals also disappeared suddenly.

Intuition told Liu Xie that Liu Biao was going to make a big move.

And recruiting so many fierce generals at once, the most likely possibility is that Liu Biao wants to assassinate someone.

Liu Xie felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Liu Biao knew that he was coming secretly and wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him?
But there is no grievance between them, and does Liu Biao have the guts to assassinate himself?
It should be noted that as long as something happens to him in Jingzhou, the 30 troops from Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou will go south in an instant, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou will definitely not be able to stop it.

Besides, the time is wrong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and the others were invited into the Liu residence before he set off. No matter how witty Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are, they will never be able to predict the future, not to mention that he went south to Jingzhou on a whim of.

That is to say, Liu Biao's goal should be someone else.

It would not be Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou who had no real power, nor Wu Yi, the envoy from Shu.

The most likely one is Liu Bei.

"What did Shi Yuan think of?"

Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong, who was sitting opposite him with bright eyes, and couldn't help but ask aloud.

"I was thinking that it is not easy for Liu Jingzhou to have such courage, but I am more interested in how he is sure that Liu Bei will come uninvited."

As expected, Pang Tong thought the same as Liu Xie. Liu Biao was preparing to assassinate Liu Bei. As long as he did it thoroughly or framed him, the harm of trapping and killing Liu Bei was not as great as others thought.

On the contrary, he can take the opportunity to subdue Liu Bei's [-] elite soldiers, and half of his generals will stay in Jingzhou.

When Liu Biao was young, at any rate, he was also a figure who won the hegemony of Jingzhou in the midst of chaos. He had this determination and ambition.

"I'm afraid Liu Bei has a spy under his command."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, thinking of Qin Hui and Hou Junji naturally.

According to his and Pang Tong's current speculation, Liu Xie is basically certain that most of Liu Bei's uninvited strategies were proposed by Qin Hui.

This trick seemed very subtle, it turned Liu Biao into a cocoon and did not dare to act rashly.

But it ignores a very important fact, that is, it is no longer a peaceful and prosperous age, with the collapse of rituals and music, and the absence of Dharma teachings, it is an unprecedented chaotic world.

Governing troubled times cannot rely solely on reputation for benevolence and righteousness, the most important thing is to have military power.

No one will care how unjust your means are. History remembers only one result of winning or losing.

It's like Yuan Shao colluded with Xianbei to attack Gongsun Zan. Not only did he not bear the infamy of cooperating with the Hu people, but he justifiably led the Xianbei cavalry, and he had no opponents in the land of Hebei.

The current Liu Biao is probably determined to kill Liu Bei before considering other situations.

As for Qin Hui, most likely after arriving in Jingzhou, he was tired of living with Liu Bei and wanted to settle down in a corner and seek refuge in Jingzhou to fight for his future and wealth.

And only he, the chief military adviser, can decide Liu Bei's action plan, and can also make Liu Biao firmly believe that Liu Bei will definitely come to Xiangyang, so he spends a lot of time and money to arrange a grand banquet for him!
It is false to weaken Liu Bei's reputation, but it is true to wait for an opportunity to kill Liu Bei!
This Liu Biao played a big game of chess!
Only then did Liu Xie feel that he had also been used as a pawn by Liu Biao.

However, Liu Biao and the others might have missed a point. Now that Zhuge Liang voted for Liu Bei, they wanted to assassinate Liu Bei who was guarded by Zhang Fei and Pan Feng. Although Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were there, it might not be as smooth as imagined.

This scene is getting more and more lively.

Liu Xie was originally planning to return to Yanzhou, but now he insisted on staying to see the situation despite the dissuasion of Zhen Mi and Zhao Yun.

But he was still prepared after all, and asked Zhao Yun and Cheng Yaojin to escort Zhen Mi and Pang Tong back to Chenliu first, leaving only Gao Chong and Yue Yun by their side.

The three of them come and go like the wind, and each of them is highly skilled in martial arts, it is really difficult to keep them under any circumstances.

Zhen Mi was naturally unwilling to be separated from Liu Xie and put him in danger alone.

But she also knew that staying could only be a burden, so she asked Zhao Yun to stay to help Liu Xie.

However, Liu Xie was more concerned about Zhen Mi's safety than worrying about his own safety. He did not agree and ordered Zhao Yun, Cheng Yaojin and other Pang Tong to pack up and salute and set off immediately.

After the four of them left, Liu Xie was still worried about how he would sneak into Liu Biao's residence to participate in the banquet with the surname Liu, but Cai Jue approached him immediately.

She had always sent someone to watch over Liu Xie and the others, and now as soon as Zhen Mi left, she immediately posted up to entangle Liu Xie.

This can't help but give Liu Xie the feeling that he has tried everything possible to send away his wife, Zhen Mi, and have a tryst with her, a mistress.

But Cai Jue obviously knew what Liu Xie wanted to do now, and agreed to take Liu Xie to tomorrow's banquet, but the condition was that Liu Xie had to stay with her when he was in Jingzhou.

Cai Jue's gaze was filled with apprehension and anticipation, and the remaining four points were all affection.

Liu Xie knew that she might really rely on him, at least she wouldn't hurt his heart.

"Well, let it be."

Liu Xie sighed quietly, unable to refuse.
