"Lord, what are we going to Jingzhou like this?!" The next morning, Jia Xu and Liu Mang came to the military camp of Baima Congyi with Liu Mang. Jia Xu was forced to follow Liu Mang. Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu was also found by Yang Hong. Jia Xu was middle-aged and was still very precious to his son. Liu Mang directly let Jia Mu stay in Shouchun and let him become a disciple of Xu Shu. Jia Xu was quibbling and conspiring and poisoning, but Xu Shu was a upright and upright person, a person who was open to govern the country. Liu Mang really wanted to see an upright son and a cunning father, a self-sacrificing son, and a father who harmed others for his own benefit. These two combinations, Liu Mang wanted to laugh.

Although Jia Xu was reluctant, for his life and the incense inheritance of his Jia Xu family, he could only follow him in vain. However, the scenes in front of him made him wail. There were only three thousand soldiers and horses from the rebel camp, and these soldiers were the ones who accompanied them.

"What's wrong? Wenhe! It's not these soldiers to go to Jingzhou! But there!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile and pointed at Jia Xu to see it.

Jia Xu followed Liu Mang's finger and looked over, okay! Guan Hai and Zhou Cang came with ten soldiers wearing armor and fighting horses.

"Uh!" Jia Xu's mouth began to twitch. There were only twenty people who went to Jingzhou in danger?

"Don't worry, Wenhe, it's not easy to act if there are too many people!" There was a reason for Liu Mang to only bring these twenty people. Except for Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, the remaining twenty people were not people in the army, but were transferred by Yang Hong to Liu Mang. These people were all responsible for intelligence, familiar with various sections of Jingzhou, and brought into Liu Mang in Jingzhou. If danger occurs, you can quickly escape into some small paths or folks to avoid danger. If Liu Mang brings large-scale troops, it will not only let Liu Biao in Jingzhou see clearly, but also leave urgently once something happens. The scale of hundreds of people is too large and too eye-catching. It is impossible to leave quietly. You can only force the siege of Liu Biao in the home court. At that time, even if there are hundreds of elite soldiers, can you still play hard with Liu Biao at home? So it is better to lead a team of twenty people with a scale of hundreds.

"Then attack Liu Bei in Yuzhou?!" Jia Xu could understand the previous words. People are small and their goals are small, but you can't care whether the goal is big or not.

"Attacking Liu Bei in Yuzhou, isn't this Zilong's white horse Congyi?" Liu Mang said calmly at the white horse Congyi in the camp.

"That's all?!" Jia Xu was really stunned this time. Liu Mang's main target this time was Nanyang County, but others didn't know that Jia Xu didn't know. There were thousands of Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which was more than the Western Liang Iron Cavalry brought out by Jia Xu. They were also Qiang cavalry, and there were 30,000 infantrymen. There were 40,000 people in total, so you sent out such 3,000 people? Do you really think that one could fight ten, even if one beats ten, there would be eight thousand people left.

What's more, the thousands of Western Liang cavalry are all heavily armored cavalry! And now these three thousand white horses Congyi are light cavalry, how can we fight? The heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry are equivalent to heavy armored infantry and light infantry. It's completely crushing. Once it is caught by heavy armored cavalry, it will be massacre. If Liu Mang hadn't pulled him to Nanyang together, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to these things. But Jia Xu wanted to walk with these white horses Congyi. Once he met the Western Liang cavalry in the wild, could Jia Xu escape?

"Those are enough!" Liu Mang was not looking down on the Western Liang Iron Cavalry in Nanyang, nor was he underestimating Liu Bei, Yuzhou, but Liu Mang used his confidence in his white horse Congyi and had confidence in Zhao Yun. "Nanyang County just let the white horse Congyi train troops!"

"Lord, the old minister is really old, please let Xu stay!" Jia Xu didn't know what Liu Mang was trying to beat. He took three thousand people to fight forty thousand people, but the other party still had heavy armored cavalry, but he only had three thousand troops that had not yet formed a real army, and he was still training troops! It would be better if he was not trained to death!

Liu Mang felt very funny when he saw Jia Xu's appearance, but he waved his hand and said, "The whole army set off!" Liu Mang only brought a white horse to Congyi. This was a light cavalry of 3,000 people, but had 6,000 war horses. So many war horses can ensure that the cavalry's horsepower is sufficiently replenished. Similarly, these light cavalry also put horse materials and food on their other war horse, in order to ensure the supply of food and grass in the past few days.

...

Jingzhou Xiangyang City

In Liu Biao's meeting hall, Liu Biao was already old, but he was still walking in the hall, which showed Liu Biao's struggle.

"Yi Du, do you think I did the right thing this time?" Liu Biao was extremely irritable. Since he got Jingzhou, Liu Biao had never been so irritable. The original battle for hegemony in the world, the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and the entire Hebei area of ​​the Central Plains was fierce, but his Jingzhou was still as stable as Mount Tai, and everything seemed to have nothing to do with him. One of the reasons this caused was that Liu Biao, the former eight horse, became a person who lost all his strength and had no enterprising spirit due to his age and the city bureau.

But now Liu Biao can't escape, and the world changes every day. Dong Zhuo, who was in power at that time, was overthrown, was overthrown, and then the overlord of Hebei, Yuan Shao, was terminally ill. Now his vicinity of Jingzhou is in a state of chaos.

All the forces are complicated, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Bei. None of them is easy to meet. Although Zhang Xiu is dead, the situation has become more and more chaotic, and it is so chaotic that Liu Biao and he is undecided in Jingzhou.

The one who was called the different degrees by Liu Biao was naturally Kuai Yue, the head of the two major families in Jingzhou. Kuai Yue was famous for his calmness, and he thought about the problems very comprehensively and could clearly see everything in detail. However, Kuai Yue's only shortcomings were that the aristocratic family behind him. He cared about his family's victory over his ambitions. Back then, Kuai Yue helped Liu Bing to take Jingzhou alone, but Kuai Yue was just thinking about how to get the greatest benefit for his family.

"Lord, there is no right or wrong in this world, only victory or defeat!" Kuai Yue knew what Liu Biao was worried about. He did not directly point out that Liu Biao was wrong or you were right, but used another theory to confuse what Liu Biao asked.

"There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat?!" Liu Biao murmured to himself as soon as Kuai Yue said.

"Lord, sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, let Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Lu Bu bit each other. If Lu Bu wins, then the lord needs to appease Lu Bu. Also, if Lu Bu loses, who will blame the lord!" Kuai Yue was comforting Liu Biao's heart.

"A different degree, but this time!" Why didn't Liu Biao understand this truth? He wanted to use Lujiang Lu Bu to consume Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Because Lu Bu also brought threats to Liu Biao, who would have thought that Sun Ce in Jiangdong would take the opportunity to attack his Sanjiangkou, which made Liu Biao have to fight back in anger. In this way, Lu Bu became a potential ally in Jiangdong. However, this potential ally was about to be offended by Liu Biao to death.

Liu Biao had known this news for Liu Mang in Yangzhou that there was a shortage of military rations. Even Sun Ce's plan Liu Biao had received it. Before, Lu Bu sent an envoy to buy food and grass, but Liu Biao just dragged it back and forth, just wanted to wait for the price. But later Lu Bu won, and Liu Mang sent an envoy again. Logically speaking, Liu Biao should have sold food and grass to Liu Mang. Pang Tong, a military advisor sent by Liu Bei in Yuzhou, disrupted Liu Biao's plan. Pang Tong killed the envoy in Yangzhou with one sword. Killing the envoy was equivalent to declaring war. This was to force him to go to war with Liu Biao. Fortunately, Liu Biao still sent compensation to Liu Mang's army at the suggestion of Kuai Yue, but Liu Biao was still worried.

"Why should lord worry? If the Yangzhou army comes, the soldiers will block the water and soil, and our army's foundation is mainly south of the Yangtze River. At worst, we can withdraw from Xinye and hand over Xinye to Liu Mang! Besides, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, said this. Once the Yangzhou army attacks, his Liu Bei's army will definitely take over the northern gateway of Jingzhou for our Jingzhou!" Kuai Yue comforted Liu Biao's heart, and Liu Biao's heart felt a little more comfortable when he said this.

However, then, Liu Biao became suspicious again, "A different way, Liu Mang in Yangzhou is not a good person, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou is not a good person!" Liu Biao was not a person without vision. Although he was successful, it did not mean that Liu Biao could not see through people. The growth of Lu Bu army in Lujiang made him worried. Liu Bei, the same clan, was not a good person in Liu Biao's eyes, was also a very ambitious person. On the original trajectory, Liu Biao was guarding against Liu Bei everywhere. When Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao, he was so scared that he fled to Jingzhou. Liu Biao did not want to accept Liu Bei because he knew that Liu Bei was an ambitious man and could not handle it well, which might cause trouble. However, if he killed Liu Bei, Liu Biao was afraid of losing his reputation. It would be difficult not to kill Liu Bei!

Liu Biao, who was originally trajectory, really had a plan to deal with his own family surnamed Liu, and Liu Biao chose two words to limit.

Although he was restricting Liu Bei, he did his best on the surface. When Liu Bei came, he personally welcomed him, treated the guests and even added the army to him. Such a treatment was done in all aspects, and the restrictions began to show.

Liu Biao threw Liu Bei directly to Xinye on the other side of the river. Xinye deviated from the power center of Jingzhou, and Xinye was on the other side of the Yangtze River, which could be regarded as a northern gateway to Jingzhou. At that time, Lao Cao took over Nanyang County, and Xinye was the front line bordering Lao Cao. The purpose of throwing Liu Bei was self-evident. There was an extra thug for no reason. Liu Biao's plan is OK!

Now Liu Biao is still very alert to Liu Bei. Lu Bu and Liu Mang from Yangzhou made Liu Biao worry. Could it be that Liu Bei doesn’t worry? The lessons of the past are there? Liu Biao’s dog Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei were in the honeymoon period at the beginning, but now they have been stolen by Liu Bei. How can Liu Biao not worry? What’s more, Liu Bei and Sun Ce of Jiangdong have an alliance agreement. If there are two sides attacks, it will be Liu Biao who will cry.

Kuai Yue looked at the old man in front of him. He was already 60 years old this year, his hair was gray, his hair had disappeared, and Ba Jun also became an old horse. Liu Biao was too indecisive. He was afraid of this and that, and he had long lost the sharpness he had in the past.

He was afraid of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, so he wanted to use Lujiang Lu Bu to balance Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Lu Bu was able to gain a firm foothold in Lujiang and Liu Biao had some credit, so he restrained Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of navy troops.

After being afraid of Sun Ce, he was afraid of Lu Bu coming from Lujiang. Lu Bu's son-in-law Liu Mang directly destroyed Sun Ce's 100,000 troops from Jiangdong. In the battle of Yangzhou, he even drove the coalition forces of both sides out of Yangzhou. This combat power really scared him, Liu Biao, so Liu Biao wanted to balance Lu Bu coming from Lujiang. Although Pang Tong killed Liu Mang's envoy, if Liu Biao directly sold grain to Yangzhou, then nothing would happen. Maybe Liu Biao's previous life would be written off, but at the instigation of the two families of the Cai family, Liu Biao only paid 10,000 stones of grain and grass and did not mention any words about buying and selling grain and grass.

If you persist to the end, it would be fine. You obviously want Liu Bei's alliance, but Liu Biao is afraid of completely offending Lu Bu in Lujiang. Asking about the advice of Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue was influenced by his younger brother, and the influence on the Yangzhou army was quite good, not to mention that the enemy was a friend. The biggest enemy in Jingzhou is the tiger Sun Ce in Jiangdong, not Yangzhou Liu Mang. Even if Liu Mang and Lu Bu destroyed Yuzhou Liu Bei and occupied the Central Plains, they could do this. As long as they had the shape of the Yangtze River, then Jingzhou would be safe. What's more, there were only two companies on the other side of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce and Liu Biao. It is obvious who the Yangzhou army would attack.

When Liu Mang pacified the Central Plains, I am afraid that the north will decide the victory or defeat. With Cao Cao's qualifications, the third son of Yuan's family will not be his opponent at all.

If Cao Cao freed up his hands, he would naturally unify the Central Plains. At that time, the layout of the world would be that Cao Cao from the north would go south. The first thing he had to face was Liu Mang from the Central Plains. After the difficulties, Liu Mang and Sun Ce from Jiangdong were enemies, so he would naturally help Jingzhou to restrain Jiangdong. And Jingzhou relied on the danger of the Yangtze River and hundreds of thousands of naval troops. Although he could not use the benefits of a fisherman in the left hand, he could ensure that Jingzhou's country would be stable for decades.

However, the Pang family, Cai family, and Huang family talked about the evil of Yangzhou together, and Liu Mang had become an unforgivable person in their exaggeration. Liu Mang was also unfair to Liu Biao's left-handed fisherman in Jingzhou. Let Wei Yan take over Yiyang and Zaoyang also become an excuse for these three families to attack.

Although Kuai Yue had a good idea, he was unwilling to offend these three families. It was fine if the Pang family. The Huang family and the Cai family had a lot of interests with the Kuai family, and the three families were even connected with relatives. If Kuai Yue said something wrong, he would offend the three families.

Therefore, the strategy given by Kuai Yue is a neutral strategy. It is not to refuse directly but not to sell grain. If you refuse directly, it will offend Liu Mang to death. I will sell grain and grass, but you, Liu Mang, need to come in person. If Liu Mang is angry and send troops, then Jingzhou can use Yiyang Zaoyang to talk about the matter. It is you, Liu Mang, who attacked my city first. If Liu Mang comes in person, the food and grass will be sold naturally, then Liu Biao can use Liu Mang as a hostage to check and balance the development of Lu Bu. Lu Bu only has one daughter and only one son-in-law. Liu Mang, who has been retained for Liu Mang, is in charge of Liu Mang, and Lu Bu's army will naturally not dare to do anything randomly.

As for Liu Bei in Yuzhou, this person is strange and changeable. Kuai Yue really doesn't like this person. He has annexed the territories of his allies in front of him. Kuai Yue looks carefully. If Zhang Xiu died at the hands of Lu Bu's army, why would Zhang Xiu's youngest son break out of Nanyang with the help of Jia Xu and run to Lu Bu's command to seek protection?

Such a person who is involved in a tiger's skin is only for the sake of Kuai Yue. In Kuai Yue's opinion, Liu Bei has defeated too many times. Although he is an immortal young strongman, he fell down again and again and again, but the few people who followed him have a glory!

The richest man in the Mi family, Xuzhou, is now, but Liu Bei is surrounded by an accountant, and Liu Pi has a place in Yuzhou, but he was cut off by Liu Bei. His Kuai family's great business cannot afford Liu Bei's rules of losing all his belongings and returning.

"As long as Liu Bei can't cross the Yangtze River, he is not worth worrying. It's because of his lord, Mr. Pang is old, so you should pay more attention to Mr. Pang!"

"Pang Gong?" Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, and the crow's feet on his face were everywhere. He was no longer as handsome as the eight horses he used to be.

Kuai Yue speaks with skills. Who can Pang Gong be as he says? Naturally, it is the current Pang family's Pang Degong. Pang Degong is indeed older than Liu Biao. On the surface, Kuai Yue's words are a concern for Pang Degong. He wants his lord to care more about this virtuous person in Jingzhou, but in fact he is reminding Liu Biao to be careful of the Pang family.

Pang Degong is indeed a virtuous person. This person disdains fame and fortune, not fame and fortune, but he is old. Pang Degong only has one son, Pang Shanmin and a nephew, the famous Pang Tong. Although Pang Shanmin is his brother, his wisdom is not as good as Pang Tong. The affairs of the Pang family are now dominated by Pang De, but as long as Pang Degong is a hundred years later, the Pang family will not fall into the hands of Pang Shanmin. Among these aristocratic families, the masters are the heads of the family, and now Pang Tong has joined Liu Bei in Yuzhou.

In other words, half of the Pang family has fallen toward Liu Bei. As Kuai Yue said, as long as Liu Bei does not cross the Yangtze River, it will be harmless. But with the assistance of the Pang family, it is really possible that the Pang family’s children and teachers are spread all over Jingzhou. Who can not know Lumen Academy in Jingzhou? Although Pang Degong does not have the world’s students, there are still many students in Jingzhou.

Once Pang Tong takes power and falls to Liu Bei in Yuzhou, do you think the Pang family members in Jingzhou will not follow him! Even if they don’t follow him, they will not make things difficult for Pang Tong because of the face of Pang Degong. At that time, it will be hard to say that the lord of Jingzhou is really. So it is fake to ask Liu Biao to pay attention to Pang Degong, and it is true to ask him to pay attention to the Pang family or to monitor the Pang family to restrict the Pang family.

"The loyal ministers in Jingzhou are the only ones who are loyal to you!"

"Report, Yangzhou's military situation is urgent at 800 miles!" Just as Kuai Yue and Liu Biao were fighting against the monarch and ministers, the spies from Jingzhou, a hundred miles away, finally sent information. Looking at the news in the newspaper, Kuai Yue and Liu Biao both stood up.
