Although Cao Ren has the talent of a general, it was when he was old, and now he has not had enough time to hone his skills. If he learns how to use soldiers like Cao Cao, he is only superficial.

Originally Cao Cao asked him not to defend and not to fight, but Zhang Fei scolded the formation too much, and he and Cai Hao both sang together, and he was so angry!

Zhang Fei shouted: "Come out! Grandpa chopped you up!"

Cai Mao roared: "Yide! Your knife cuts nothing!"

Zhang Fei shouted: "What!?"

Cai Mao roared: "He shrinks!!!"

Outside the city, the Jingzhou army and Liu Bei's army laughed so hard that Cao Ren blushed with anger and shot him out. He was ambushed and fled back in defeat.

Stealing the camp at night caused Liu Bei to flee for his life in a panic. Cao Ren hurriedly mobilized troops to pursue Liu Bei. As a result, Nanyang was captured by Guan Yu.

When Liu Bei's good news came back to Jiangling, bad news came from Hanzhong.

Cao Cao deserves to be Cao Cao.

He did not send troops directly to attack Hanzhong, but sent people to Xiliang to create three rumors, which were not rumors, but were all true: Liu Biao in Jingzhou seemed to welcome the emperor.

Lu Bu gave up fighting Jiange for more than a year, and went to Baidi City in Yizhou without thinking.

Lu Bu welcomed the emperor.

When Ma Teng heard the first news, he became suspicious.

When Xudu was defeated and retreated, Cao Cao desperately pursued him abnormally. Judging from the rumors, it made sense.

The second piece of news, Ma Teng believed it five points, Hanzhong to the north, is Liangzhou, which is already Ma Teng's territory, and Ma Teng has always kept a close eye on Lu Bu's movements.

After the rumors passed, Ma Teng specially ordered people to go to Hanzhong to inquire, and Lu Bu went to Baidi City as expected.

The White Emperor City was useless to Lu Bu, so suddenly, there must be a reason.

When the third rumor started, Ma Teng couldn't sit still with the emperor's edict sent from the south. Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong originally asked Liu Xie to issue the edict because they wanted Ma Teng to come to Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong. On the contrary, this edict actually prompted Ma Teng.

Looking at the entire north, Ma Teng has only one strong enemy, Cao Cao, who is busy adding troops to Nanyang to attack Jingzhou.

How can such a godsend opportunity be missed?

Ma Teng went out to attack Hanzhong with all his best.

Ma Teng was also a cunning and treacherous man. He first stormed for half a month, and then sent a letter to Song Xian and the other three Lu Bu's men, trying to persuade him to surrender.

When the two armies were confronting each other, Cao Cao's troops crossed the Wei River. Ma Teng saw that something was wrong, so he turned around and returned to Xiliang.

Cao Cao came to Hanzhong and picked up a big bargain.

Ma Teng sent troops and food, exhausted the generals in Hanzhong, and consumed a lot of food, so he came again to fight again.

Cao Jun attacked fiercely for several days, Song Xian and others couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly sent people to Jiangling to ask for help.

"If Liu Zhang doesn't obey the imperial edict, I'm afraid I won't believe that I'm in Jingzhou. If Hanzhong is lost, I'm afraid Liu Zhang will surrender to Cao. Think about it, how should you deal with it?"

Hanzhong and Yizhou are lips and teeth of each other, but it has little to do with Jingzhou.

Liu Biao sat silently.

Chen Gongdao: "Earlier, I was worried that Song Xian and the others would not be able to defend. Cao Cao is really powerful. If Marquis Wen doesn't return, I'm afraid there is no other way."

Lu Bu immediately dropped his face and glared at Chen Gong.

Liu Xie was amused, and wondered how Chen Gong told Lu Bu to be obedient all these years?

Just thinking about it, Cao Ang opened his mouth:

"The general should go back. First, Hanzhong must not be lost. Second, the left general Liu Bei has taken Nanyang, and there is a barrier to the north of Jiangling. Unlike when Nanyang was in the hands of Cao Ren, he always had a knife hanging over his head."

The implication is that the little emperor is safe, you can do other things.

Lu Bu said, "I have to go back?"

Both Chen Gong and Cao Ang nodded, and Lu Bu wrote on his face: You are here again! ?Two to one is amazing! !

His face was showing, but he didn't dare to speak out.

Two to one is amazing.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei can rest assured, so Liu Xie also meant to let Lu Bu return to Hanzhong.

With Nanyang as the gateway to the north, the next step is Yizhou, and Hanzhong really cannot afford to lose it.

However, Liu Xie was not in a hurry to speak, and waited.

At this time Liu Biao said: "General Fenwei, please rest assured, the matter of Cai's family will never happen again, the general can go, the safety of the emperor, I will leave it to my ministers."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Liu Xie.

With Liu Biao's words, Liu Xie nodded: "So, General Fenwei can rest assured."

Lu Bu resentfully stared at the two of his family fiercely, and knelt down on one knee: "Your servant, take orders!"

Liu Xie had to warn: "The war is urgent, don't delay, return to help quickly. When you arrive, Hanzhong may have lost some land. Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu first arrived at Ma Teng and then resisted Cao Cao. It is not easy. Don't punish them for losing land and other things, you take my decree to defend Hanzhong, and I will reward you."

Those three had to prevent them from copying history and betraying Lu Bu.

Liu Xie could see that Cao Ang had an unusual position in Lu Bu's heart. As long as Cao Ang spoke, Lu Bu would listen to him no matter what.

Cao Ang was sensible, so Cao Ang valued Chen Gong's opinions. With him, Lu Bu could listen to Chen Gong's advice, which was a surprise.

If Lu Bu is around Diao Chan, who is weak and can only sing and dance, not to mention that his subordinates will be dissatisfied, it will only delay the business, right?

Cao Ang is capable of both literary and military skills, and is an upright person. Not only can he gallop with Lv Bu, but he can also influence Lv Bu from the side, telling Lv Bu to do things, and he will be more fussy.

After Lu Bu ordered his troops to set off, Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Cai Mao back to Jiangling and returned to his command.

Zhuge Liang originally suggested that Liu Bei should leave Zhao Yun to guard Nanyang, and Liu Bei agreed. Unexpectedly, behind Zhuge Liang's back, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei complained to Liu Bei: "Who is he!? It was my elder brother who invited him out of the mountain to see the emperor's nephew. , actually despised my brother and defected to the emperor! Why did my brother listen to him!?"

Liu Bei didn't get angry when he heard Zhang Fei's words, and looked at the silent Guan Yu:

"Second brother, do you think so too?"

Guan Yu looked at both of them, and then said: "Although what the third brother said is not all right, it is not all wrong."

Liu Bei said "Oh": "Let's listen to it, where is Yide wrong and where is right?"

Zhang Fei stared at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu said: "When we went to Longzhong, the emperor had already arrived, and everything has to be said first come first."

Zhang Fei "hmph".

Guan Yu went on to say: "Besides, whether it is the eldest brother or Zhuge Liang, they are all the emperor's courtiers. Even if Zhuge Liang followed the eldest brother, the eldest brother is a minister. Isn't it Zhuge Liang? He chose Gao Zhi. There is nothing to say. This is the third brother." Wrong place."

Zhang Feihou: "Then where am I?"

Guan Yu said: "Since your Majesty let Eldest Brother take this merit, the famous General Zuo will be confirmed after he captured Nanyang. Eldest Brother is already a legitimate General Zuo. There is no need to follow Zhuge Liang's instructions in everything and look like Eldest Brother." I have no idea."

Liu Bei was speechless, and after a while, he ordered the soldiers to beat him with thirty sticks.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard that they were coming, Liu Bei rested on the couch. They asked for a long time before Liu Bei said, "I am fighting for the emperor."

"The two of you have been famous for a long time, and you are both powerful generals admired by the people of the world, but you don't have the slightest guts! You don't have an emperor in your eyes, only me as a big brother. Those who don't know will think that I have the will to stand on my own! I want to usurp the throne! !!"

Zhang Fei was so frightened that he "boomed" and fell to his knees.

"One still knows that we are all ministers, but he doesn't remember the emperor's kindness. Without the emperor's kindness, how can he make meritorious deeds!? He only made meritorious deeds, and immediately became arrogant and contemptuous! Who is Zhuge Liang!? He was sent by the emperor to help me People! His meaning is the meaning of the emperor!!! You want me to do rebellious things!!! You are so frivolous and short-sighted, it is the fault of my lax discipline! The emperor is kind and does not punish, I will act on behalf of the emperor Thirty sticks of self-blame!!!"

Guan Yu also knew what was wrong, so he knelt down too quickly.

But Zhang Fei was still beside him and said: "If you want to punish me, punish me, don't beat yourself! You are wrong if you say it wrong!"

Liu Bei tried hard to see Zhang Fei's appearance, even if he hit a hundred sticks himself, Zhang Fei would not be able to understand his painstaking efforts, I'm afraid it would be counterproductive.

Liu Bei was helpless, afraid that after taking them back to Jiangling, he would follow him in and out of the state capital all day long. If one of them couldn't restrain himself one day and said something that shouldn't be said in front of the little emperor, he would really be doomed!

I had no choice but to find Zhuge Liang and replace those who stayed in Nanyang with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are guarding Nanyang. Although these two men can dominate the north, but looking at Liu Bei who has returned to his life, Liu Xie has the feeling that Liu Bei is still protecting his shortcomings.

Liu Bei submitted the proceeds of confiscation, [-] surrendered troops, hundreds of thousands of food and salaries, gold and silver silk and other things.

The grain and salary were handed over to Liu Qi, and Liu Qi was asked to send 20 stones of grain and grass, and [-] grains of silver to Hanzhong to appease Song Xian and others for Lu Bu.

As for the surrender of the army, Liu Xie generously assigned all of them to Liu Bei, the veritable "Left General", and took charge of it on behalf of the emperor.

Liu Xie really wanted to cultivate his own imperial army, but firstly, this was Cao Cao's surrender, and he was afraid that he would not accept it;

After the favor was done, I was not in a good mood, and I was a little panicked.

Zhuge Liang has the official position of Changshi, and it is more convenient to be around Liu Xie.

Liu Xie thought about it and thought of a person.

After Liu Bei established the Shuhan, he worshiped Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals.

This is also a loyal minister who can rest assured without suspicion. As the name suggests, he has been loyal to the Han Dynasty all his life, and from the time point of view, this person is now in Changsha County, Jingzhou.

Liu Xie instructed, Zhuge Liang wrote to Huang Zhong in the name of a fellow villager.

Let me ask first, do you want to serve Shengjia?With Huang Zhong's letter, it is easy to recommend it.

In case the little emperor asked for it himself, causing Liu Biao to become suspicious.

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief when the matter was settled, and Liu Biao came to see him, saying that someone from Jiangdong came.

Who?

Sun Quan.
