Wancheng, in the prefecture.

Liu Bei was alone in the study, his face a little ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

The distance between Wancheng and Jingnan is quite far, so Liu Bei has only now received the news that Liu Jue actually won!

The soldiers and horses of the four counties in Jingnan, plus 50,000 Wuxi barbarians, and Zhou Yu's 30,000 troops from Jiangdong, a total of 120,000 troops, were lost like this!

If it wasn't written in the intelligence, Liu Bei wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.

Moreover, it is said that all the prefects of the four counties were killed, and 50,000 barbarians died. Zhou Yu was ambushed during his retreat, and escaped in embarrassment with only 10,000 troops, and also killed two generals, Pan Zhang and Tai Shici..

At the beginning of the war, Liu Bei never imagined that this would be the result.

Liu Bei was originally very sure that Liu Biao and his son would definitely be defeated this time. After Jiangdong annexed Jingnan, he would definitely continue to attack Nanjun, and Jingzhou would be in chaos.

At that time, it will be the time for Liu Bei to take advantage of the fire.

He led his troops south and took the opportunity to occupy Jingnan under the guise of helping Liu Biao defend against Jiangdong. He no longer had to stay in the terrible place of Wancheng.

However, the reality is hard to tell. Not only did Liu Jue not lose the battle, he also took a piece of meat from Jiangdong's body and sent troops to occupy Nanchang.

"how so? How did Liu Jue do it?"Liu Bei was very crazy thinking that if it were him, he would not be able to stop him no matter what, and he would definitely escape immediately.

This is several times the difference in strength! But Liu Jue actually won the battle. It is said that five The corpses of Ximan soldiers blocked the Zishui River.

Liu Bei felt very uncomfortable. In addition, he also had a vague feeling of shame.

Thinking of him, Liu Bei started his troops from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and spent more than 20 years on the Eastern Expedition. In the Western War, he fought against both Lu Bu and Cao Cao, and once took control of Xuzhou. After defecting to Liu Biao, he also defeated Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and others. This resume seems brilliant, but most of the time, Liu Bei was defeated. The defeated side.

Now, Liu Bei only has the status of an imperial uncle, guarding an empty shell like Nanyang, and it was given to him by Liu Biao.

Yes, in Liu Bei's eyes, this is charity.

Liu Jue moved away Two hundred thousand people, leaving an empty territory, and letting him become the governor of Nanyang was actually to let him block Cao Cao.

But Liu Bei had to go. Even if Nanyang is a piece of shit now, it is still better than the one in Xinye Small places are better.

Liu Bei looked at the map and his eyes fell on the four counties in Jingnan. There are more than one million people here. If they are more aggressive, they can raise an army of 100,000 people.

Moreover, Jingnan has There is a Yangtze River running horizontally. As long as you guard the strategic location, you can easily resist the Central Plains soldiers with the help of the Yangtze River's natural moat, and then separate one side. It's a pity that I can't eat such a big piece of fat. I'm afraid I won't have the same chance in the future.

"If Liu Biao is not stupid, Liu Jue will definitely inherit Jingzhou in the future. By that time, I will have no chance to get involved in Jingzhou."

When Liu Bei thought of this, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and even felt a trace of panic. If he couldn't occupy Jingzhou, where else could he go? Could he stay in Wancheng and wait until Cao Cao went south before escaping in panic?

Now Liu Bei has, In addition to some civil servants and generals, a few cities, and more than 10,000 soldiers, there is the ambition to long for imperial hegemony.

If even this ambition is gone, Liu Bei feels that his life is really finished.

At this time, Liu Bei I am very confused, I don’t know what to do next, and where is the opportunity to rise? Do I have to disappear into obscurity step by step?

……

Outside Xiangyang City, Liu Jue was leading an army and slowly walked towards the city.

While in Linyuan, Liu Jue received news from his mother, Mrs. Cai, saying that Liu Biao was seriously ill and asked him to return to Xiangyang quickly.

Liu Biao is seriously ill?

When Liu Jue received the news, he was stunned for a moment, because before this, he had not even received any news.

How could Liu Biao be seriously ill?

Without much delay, Liu Jue immediately led his troops and headed north towards Xiangyang.

At this time, those who were greeted outside the city were the ministers of Jingzhou headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. Liu Jue had won the battle this time and calmed down the crisis in Jingnan, so he deserved this courtesy.

Liu Jue also saw Cai Hao, stopped immediately, then turned over and dismounted.

"Jue'er, this time you pacified Jingnan and defeated Jiangdong Zhou Yu. You have really accomplished a great feat."Cai Mao smiled heartily and looked at Liu Jue with a hint of complexity.

"My uncle was overrated, and they were just a bunch of ragtag people. They were immediately scattered and defeated after I used some tricks. It's not a big deal."Liu Jue shook his head slightly.

Seeing Liu Jue's calm and calm face, Cai Hao couldn't help but admire him. If it were him, he would be a little proud.

"Uncle, do you know what is going on with my father? Liu Jue asked

"Ahem, this is not the place to talk. I have prepared the carriage. I will tell you when I get on the carriage."Cai Mao coughed lightly.

Liu Biao's serious illness has not been announced to the outside world because it was during the chaos in Jingnan and Zhou Yu from Jiangdong led his troops to attack. If this news got out, it would probably cause panic among the people.

Only Cai Mao knew about it. , Kuai Yue and a few others told the other Jingzhou ministers that Liu Biao was unwell and needed to rest quietly for a while.

Liu Jue and Cai Mao got on the same carriage and heard Cai Mao say:"Actually, the reason why your father The reason why he is seriously ill is because of the Jingnan Rebellion, which shocked him too much! You must also understand that if you are not careful this time, Jingzhou may be in trouble. So after your father received the news, he was so frightened and angry that he vomited blood on the spot."

Liu Biao vomited blood!

Liu Jue couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard Cai Mao's words. He understood the cause of Liu Biao's illness, so he asked:"I wonder how my father is doing now. Cai

Mao smiled bitterly and said,"Your father has been bedridden since he vomited blood. I went to see him a few days ago and the situation didn't seem optimistic." Wait for a while, you'd better go and see for yourself."

Liu Jue nodded, without much expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart. Listening to Cai Hao's tone, Liu Biao's condition seemed to be very serious. Is Liu Biao going to die?

At this moment, Cai Hao suddenly said:"Jue Son, there are only two of us here, and uncle wants to have a good talk with you."

Liu Jue looked at Cai Hao with some surprise, but still said:"If uncle has anything to say, just say it."
