Chapter 776 Xuzhou is in danger

"My lord, don't offend King Jin because of Sun Cao and his ilk!"

Wang Can first came to see Liu Biao, and after explaining the truth, he said this to Liu Biao.

Immediately Liu Biao's face was not good-looking, thinking that it was the leak of the news, and then his subordinates came one after another to persuade Liu Biao to think twice.

Not only was Liu Biao furious, he ordered someone to find out who leaked the news yesterday, but his confidant died after swallowing the gold.

This kind of consequence was within Liu Biao's expectation, but also beyond his expectation. He did not expect Cai to be so well-informed and use such ruthless methods.

In a fit of anger, Liu Biao wanted to eradicate the Cai brothers and sisters, but when he got angry, he found that all his cronies around him were drawn by the Cai brothers and sisters, especially in military power. The infantry had the Cai brothers, and the navy had Zhang Yun.

His confidant Wang Wei was stationed outside, and Huang Zu was stationed in Jiangxia all the year round, so Liu Biao turned out to be a man who would be slaughtered.

Liu Biao was able to become a prince for a lifetime, how could he be willing to be controlled by his relatives? Besides, it was not a few years later, he was very old, and he still dared to take in a hero like Liu Bei.

Liu Biao immediately said to his confidant, "Go, get Ah Hu here."

Ah Hu is the nickname of Liu Biao's son Liu Pan. Now that Liu Biao is surrounded by relatives, he will naturally want his relatives to check and balance. At that time, there will be the Kuai brothers in Wen, Liu Pan in Wu, and Huang Zu, Wang Wei, and Cai brothers and sisters outside. I can't jump up naturally.

"This matter must be kept top secret."

"Here!"

Liu Biao immediately pretended to be sick in the mansion, and then ordered Cai Mao to take charge of state affairs temporarily, and let him hunt down the legendary Man Chong.

But Man Chong had been sent out of Xiangyang City overnight by the Kuai brothers who had been instructed by Liu Biao. How could Cai Mao catch them?

Cai Mao controlled the situation in Xiangyang, gained control of state affairs, and became more arrogant and domineering. Cai's children repeatedly seized people's property.

Cai Mao's behavior is undoubtedly the way of death, which aroused dissatisfaction among a large number of gentry.

Liu Pan quietly entered Xiangyang, Liu Biao first ordered him to take control of the state pastoral mansion, and then cleaned the eyes and ears of the Cai family in the mansion, and then called the future of Xiangyang to discuss matters.

After all, Liu Biao is their lord. At present, Liu Biao dismisses all the generals who are close to Cai Mao, and promotes other generals of the gentry, such as Huang Zuqian, the son of Huang Zu, as the captain of the city gate, and Su Fei, who is not reused, as the captain of Nanjun.

The mood in Xiangyang changed drastically overnight. Cai Mao was stopped by Liu Pan when he was about to go out the next day. Cai Mao was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Pan's heroic face and realized that he had fallen into Liu Biao's hub.

Later, Liu Biao used the Kuai brothers to replace Cai Mao, and recruited nobles to replace the dismissed Cai Mao. However, the pro-Jin factions such as Wang Can and Han Song were not punished, but they repeatedly rewarded them with money, telling them that this was just Liu Biao. rights collection action.

Chen Zhen left Xiangyang in a rage, and threatened in Hanshui: the expulsion of the Cai family today will be the fate of the Liu family in the future.

It goes without saying who the Liu family Chen Zhen is talking about is naturally Liu Biao.

When Chen Zhen left, a large number of nobles from Jingzhou came to see him off, so Liu Biao had his eyes and ears. Liu Biao smiled disdainfully when he heard the news.

As long as Liu Biao sits firmly in Jingzhou, Liu Bei has to carefully consider his position. If the nobles in Jingzhou are not dead, Liu Bei will definitely not kill him.

However, Liu Biao didn't dare to go too far. He immediately ordered someone to reward Cai Mao, and then sent Wang Can to appease Cai Mao.

It was Liu Biao's fault that Cai Mao was in power. If his brother-in-law couldn't be trusted, could outsiders be trusted?
Can the Kuai brothers be trusted?
Not necessarily!

Therefore, Cai Mao and Liu Biao still have to use them.

In April of the second year of Jian'an, Jiangdong Sun Ce sent envoys to pay tribute to Xudu, and was named Zhennan General and Wuhou, leading the six Jiangdong counties.

At the end of April, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent envoys to Xudu to pay tribute, and the emperor named him Zhenbei General, Xiangyang Marquis, and Jingzhou Mu.

Since then, Sun, Cao, and Liu have formed an alliance.

In May, Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the name of Lu Bu not paying tribute to the court in Shouchun.

In the same month, Sun Ce attacked Liu Xun of Lujiang for the same crime.

The final annexation battle before unifying the world begins.

At that time, Taishan County.

Lu Qian said that Zang Ba came out of Mount Tai, and a large number of Taishan thieves came down the mountain. The mob in Yu Jin's hands was no match.

Cao Bao was originally watching the excitement, but Zang Ba was so brave that he successively recovered the Rencheng area. In addition, Peiguo and other places could not be taken down, so he had to retreat to Surabaya first, deal with Zang Ba, and then talk about other things.

Cao Bao's tens of thousands of troops retreated through Surabaya, but Cao Jun was chased and killed by the generals. Cao Bao was attacked twice and was defeated in the south of Surabaya, and then fled back to Xuzhou in embarrassment.

Lu Bu was furious when he heard about it, and immediately raised his troops and entered Mount Tai again.

Although most of Zang Ba's men were bandits, they were no match for Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry. What's more, Xuzhou's soldiers were already elite, and with the armor that Lu Bu had accumulated over the years, the armor wearing rate exceeded [-], which was second only to Jin army.

Zang Ba was defeated in the first battle, and a large number of Taishan bandits died in battle. Then Lu Bu retreated to the area south of Surabaya, and even attacked Fenggao under the strong request of Yujin.

Lu Bu encircled Feng Gao, and at this time Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou.

Cao Cao sent troops from Shouchun, and it can be said that he punched Lu Bu in the abdomen. Lu Bu urgently ordered Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, to rescue Xiapi.

Chen Deng had no choice but to lead his army back to aid Guangling. While defending Guangling, he sent people to ask for help.

When Lu Bu received the letter for help, most of Xiapi and Guangling fell into the hands of the alliance of Cao and Sun, and even the East China Sea was in danger under the attack of Pei Guobing.

Lu Bu no longer cared about Feng Gao, who was also in danger, and led his army to the south, directly attacking Pei Guo, and Pei Guo's soldiers retreated back to Pei Guo.

Although Yu Jin sighed endlessly, the current situation did not allow him to persist, so he had to support the situation of Mount Tai alone.

Zang Ba joined forces with Lu Qian, and then took Juping and other counties, and confronted Yu Jin in the south of Surabaya.

Naturally, Lu Bu couldn't sustain the siege of the three-way army. Although he was invincible in Peiguo, Cao Bao in Xiapi could hardly hold it, and there was only Guangling, an isolated city left in Guangling County.

Lu Bu could only ask Liu Bei for help, but Liu Bei was far away in Chang'an, so he could only ask for help from the nearest Runan Army. Go to Chang'an.

The extreme collapse of the situation in Huainan was completely beyond the expectations of the Jin army. None of the Jin army's departments were ready for a large-scale southward movement, and it was obviously too late to deploy troops.

So Liu Bei hurriedly recruited counselors to discuss.
