Fifty thousand troops were enough to make Jingzhou fall.
Therefore, many people's hearts tremble when they think of 50,000 Cao's troops coming to Jingzhou.
Cai Mao is one of them.
For Cai Mao, it is best to maintain the status quo. His Cai family is the first family in Jingzhou, and he is the chief military officer in Jingzhou. When Liu Biao dies, his nephew Liu Cong will inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu, and Liu Congnian will When he was young, the power in Jingzhou would naturally be concentrated in his hands. At that time, he would be equal to the Supreme Emperor in Jingzhou, and he would do whatever he said.
Cai Mao was extremely wary of Liu Bei and wanted to kill Liu Bei several times. The purpose was to prevent Liu Bei from helping Liu Qi seize the position of Jingzhou Shepherd after Liu Biao's death.
But Cai Mao also resisted Cao Cao. Compared with Liu Bei, Cai Mao was more afraid of Cao Cao. Liu Bei was not strong, but Cao Cao was strong enough to swallow up the entire Jingzhou. If Cao Cao comes, Cai Mao's position will not be guaranteed.
But Cai Mao didn't believe Liu Bei's words. When others were shocked by Liu Bei's words, he jumped out and said angrily: "That's nonsense. You said Cao Cao's army went south. What evidence is there?"
"evidence?"
Liu Bei didn't want to answer such a stupid question. He said: "General, you can send people to find out if I, Liu Xuande, am lying?"
"Xuande, did Cao Cao really send troops south?" Liu Biao asked Liu Bei.
"That's right."
Liu Bei nodded and said firmly to Liu Biao: "Brother Jing Sheng, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to find out."
Liu Biao waved his hand, and he no longer doubted it. Just as Liu Bei said, he sent someone to inquire and it became clear that Liu Bei did not need to lie on this issue.
Liu Biao frowned and scolded Cao Cao in his heart. Of course, Liu Bei was also scolded together. Liu Biao knew why Cao Cao sent troops south. It was because Liu Bei beat Cao Ren so badly that Cao Cao had to retaliate.
But Liu Bei blocked Cao Ren and did not let Cao Ren go south. At this point, Liu Biao had to thank Liu Bei.
Of course, what Liu Biao didn¡¯t know was that when Cao Ren came to fight Liu Bei, it was mainly because Zhuge Liang had made Cao Ren unhappy and he was determined to show off Liu Bei, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would be defeated so miserably.
If Liu Biao knew the reason why Cao Ren went south, he would definitely kill Liu Bei first.
"Brother Jingsheng, please rest assured, I will definitely block Cao Cao's army and defeat him."
Liu Bei said to Liu Biao: "Even if it costs me my life, I will defeat Cao Cao's army and prevent Cao Cao from going south."
What a good person. Liu Biao was moved when he saw the determination on Liu Bei's face. At the same time, he felt ashamed that he had just greeted Liu Bei's family.
"Xuande, you are my younger brother." Liu Biao was moved and said this.
Then, he heard Liu Bei say to him: "Brother Jingsheng, Xinye Fancheng is now short of supplies, and I hope that brother Jingsheng will spare no effort to support us."
"Without the help of Brother Jing Sheng, Xinye's current state alone would not be able to stop Cao Cao for long, and he would be broken soon." Liu Bei continued.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Biao nodded slowly. Liu Bei's strength was only so small. Without his help, Liu Bei would never be able to defend Xinye.
"My lord, this matter needs long-term consideration."
As soon as Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao seemed to agree, he hurriedly jumped out to persuade. At the same time, he wanted to yell in Liu Biao's ear to make Liu Biao remember the main purpose of holding the banquet tonight.
The main purpose is to let Liu Bei hand over Fancheng, but now, it has digressed.
Liu Bei rambled here and there, first deceiving everyone, and finally ran away with the news that Cao Jun was heading south, causing everyone to focus on Cao Jun and ignore what they were mainly doing tonight.
"Lord."
Zhang Yun also stood up and said: "Cao's army is moving south, and Uncle Liu is not strong enough to defend the two cities. It is better to let Uncle Liu leave Fancheng to our defense, and Uncle Liu can defend Xinye."
Cai Hao could not wait to hug Zhang Yun and kiss him hard. Zhang Yun's words immediately brought back the theme of tonight.
Liu Biao suddenly woke up. He did not speak, but looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had already anticipated this. It is not so much that Liu Bei expected it, but it is better to say that Zhuge Liang expected it.
Zhuge Liang had already guessed Liu Biao¡¯s purpose of calling Liu Bei to Xiangyang, so he naturally thought of a way to deal with it.
Cao Jun went south due to external reasons. If this cannot dispel Liu Biao's determination to return to Fancheng, then retreat will be an advance.
This is what Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei before the banquet. Although Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's right-hand military advisor, Liu Biao was not qualified to participate in this banquet.
Therefore, Liu Bei smiled slightly and met Liu Biao's gaze. He nodded and said, "General Zhang's words are very reasonable. I wish you all the best."
So simple?
Liu Bei agreed easily, which stunned everyone present. Everyone thought that Liu Bei would not be willing to hand over Fancheng, and would definitely be unhappy. But I just didn't expect Liu Bei to be so cheerful.
"Cao's army is moving south. Xinye and Fancheng are places they must attack. No matter which city they attack, Xiangyang will be exposed to Cao's army. Therefore, when the time comes, I will defend Xinye to the death, and Fancheng will be entrusted to General Zhang." Liu Bei said. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
