The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Biao naturally heard it. If he changed to the previous one, he would definitely follow Cai Mao's suggestion, but Sima Yi had just resisted Liu Biao before, and he must resist the pressure of the aristocratic family.This Cai Mao was his confidant, but he was also the patriarch of the Cai clan, the largest family in Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao said indifferently: "I will find someone to find out about this matter, don't worry, if Sima Yi dares to have any dissent, I will definitely not regret it!"

434: Heart of Mende

Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were naturally innocent, and they both presented evidence to prove Cai Mao's mistake.It's just that Sima Yi also knows that the Cai Mao family has a huge influence in the nine counties of Jingxiang, and if he confronts Cai Mao head-on, he may even endanger his own safety.

Therefore, Sima Yi persuaded Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to serve Liu Biao again, but Cai Mao's false accusations in the past can only be avenged after Sima Yi holds the power in the future.That Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were originally loyal to Liu Biao, but now they were inexplicably caught in prison and could not see their future, so they could only agree to Sima Yi's request.

And with Sima Yi's eloquent dealings, Liu Biao finally re-accepted these two generals. Liu Biao suffered heavy casualties in the last war. Although many people have been recruited, these generals are scarce. very.

That's why, at the suggestion of Sima Yi, Liu Biao decided not to hold the two responsible.At the same time, he also reprimanded Cai Mao, telling him not to hinder Sima Yi's affairs.

Although Cai Mao is not reconciled, he also knows that he is not what he used to be now. In the past, he had several generals from the Cai clan and firmly held the military power in Jingzhou. However, in the last war, the generals of the Cai clan suffered heavy casualties, and now he has the control of Sima Yi. For those recruits, Cai Mao could hardly exert the same influence as before.

Because of this incident, Liu Biao's favorite concubine, Cai Mao's sister, Cai Shi, also had a lot of trouble with Liu Biao, but Liu Biao forced him down in the end.

In addition, Sima Yi also selected several generals from the grass field, and even found Wei Yan, and Wei Yan was outstanding in military force and proficient in military affairs. Liu Biao worshipped him as a general.

As a result, the atmosphere of the entire Jingzhou is completely new, and the troops and horses under his command are also growing stronger and stronger under the leadership of several generals and Sima Yi, and they have even far exceeded their previous strength.This also made Liu Biao happy, and praised Sima Yi even more.He also gradually handed over various powers to Sima Yi, and even ordered Sima Yi to prepare all military affairs and wait until the right time to attack Liu Rui again to repay the previous hatred.

At this moment, except for Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and Liu Biao of Yizhou, who are guarding the kingdom of heaven, the rest of the princes are all working hard, all of them are frantically expanding their troops and amassing armaments.

Liu Rui naturally need not say more, the power of Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Sili, and Liangzhou, coupled with Liu Rui's extraordinary means, not only greatly increased his own strength, but also made the life of the common people more comfortable. The wealthy, even Liangzhou, which was barren before, now has few poor families.As long as you are willing to work hard and with the strong support of Liu Rui's various policies, you can get a good income.

And Cao Cao of Gunzhou in Qingzhou, as early as when Liu Biao attacked Liu Rui, had already begun to cultivate his life and rest. Now, he has also accumulated a large number of troops in his hands, and his generals are also eager to try and want to meet Liu Rui again. A showdown.

These opinions gradually converged on Jia Xu's desk. He is now the first military division under Cao Cao's tent, and those generals who asked for battle naturally came to look for him.

"My lord, the soldiers have been holding back for a long time now. Look at these petitions, they are all so thick!" Jia Xu was approving the official documents, but when he saw Cao Cao's visit, he said with a smile.

"Wenhe, I've been thinking about this recently, but Liu Rui's strength is also not what it used to be. If we start the war rashly, I'm afraid we are not opponents." Cao Cao nodded, he is now training All of them are recruits, they can be said to be strong and ready to go.It is not the first time he has heard the many voices of war in this army.Xiaoshuowa novel network www.xiaoshuowa.com

When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's words, he stopped the ink in his hand and said with a smile: "My lord, Liu Rui's territory is bigger than ours, and he can use more resources than us. If we use the strength of our family, naturally we cannot Confrontation." After a pause, Jia Xu opened his mouth again: "If you want to attack Liu Rui, you can only attack Liu Rui in one fell swoop by reuniting the princes from all over the world and forming an army together."

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "Last time, I joined Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, but the result was a big defeat. Although those princes are recruiting troops and horses now, they are not necessarily willing to give their lives to us!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Why should you worry, my lord? That Sun Ce's messenger came to visit me a few days ago, and inside and out, he wanted to inquire about when we would send troops. After Sun Bofu won Yuzhou, this appetite will be greatly appreciated. It's bigger, and now I want to go north!"

Cao Cao smiled. After his coalition failed, some of his subordinates suggested that Cao Cao take Yuan Shu in Yuzhou and completely control the territory of Yuzhou.It was also at that time that Jia Xu persuaded him to give up Yuzhou, and gave this Yuzhou to Sun Ce in Jiangdong in exchange for Sun Ce's future dispatch of troops to Liu Rui.

In fact, just as Jia Xu had expected, Sun Ce bordered Liu Rui after winning Yuzhou. Although there was no conflict between the two sides, there was no contact between the two sides. Instead, they were actively preparing for war.

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao laughed and said, "It's a good thing that Sun Ce wants to compete with Liu Rui. It's just that he has just won Yuzhou in Jiangdong. Is he still capable of sending troops now?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My lord does not need to worry, my subordinates can conclude that as long as the lord sends an envoy, not only will Sun Ce agree, but even Liu Biao will have no choice."

Cao Cao said in amazement: "Oh? Then Liu Biao was attacked by the army you fooled last time to attack Liu Rui. I'm afraid he already hates you to the core now!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What about hatred? If Liu Biao did nothing now, he would have been divided up by the princes long ago. With the strength of the princes now, if they do not unite, they will only be conquered by Liu Rui one by one. If you don’t want to lose your life in the city, you can only agree to our request.”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's the reason. If that's the case, why don't you take charge of these things, Wenhe!"

Jia Xu waved his hands and smiled and said, "My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to obey. If I go, I'm afraid that Lu Bu and Liu Biao will both have resentment." After a pause, Jia Xu looked at Xi Zhi next to Cao Cao. Cai, cupped his hands and smiled: "Zhi Cai, at this time only you can worry about the Lord."

Cao Cao also looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, Fang Caiwen and what he said are reasonable. I'm afraid you will have to go for a run this time."

Xi Zhicai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The lord has orders, and Zhicai will definitely not disappoint the lord." ,, ..

435: The princes are tempted

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xi Zhicai began to prepare for related matters non-stop.

This is not a trivial matter. If Liu Rui finds out about it, and then makes trouble, I am afraid that Cao Cao's wish will not be easily realized.It is also for this reason that it is necessary to have Xi Zhi to personally visit the borders of the various princes one by one.

The first place Xi Zhicai visited was Xuzhou, which is next to Qingzhou.

As for Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei was naturally extremely welcome. Even if Xi Zhicai did not speak, he knew the purpose of Xi Zhicai's visit, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Lu Bu, who was also in Xuzhou, to come to discuss it together.

And Liu Bei himself took Pang Tong, and started to chat with Xi Zhicai.

"Empress Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've become more and more handsome!" Xi Zhicai bowed to Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei really doesn't look like he used to, there is always a smile on the corners of his eyes, you can see it , After Pang Tong, Liu Bei's pressure was relieved a lot.

When Liu Bei heard Xi Zhicai's words, he also smiled, looked at Pang Tong and said, "In the past, I and Yun Chang Yide worked hard to lead troops to fight, and we were conscientious and conscientious in governing Xuzhou, but we always failed. It was only with the help of Shi Yuan that I realized that this military order is so mysterious!"

Xi Zhicai was once also the first advisor under Cao Cao's account, so he knew the difference, and immediately smiled: "On the way here, I saw that the people of Xuzhou lived in peace, the commerce and trade were prosperous, and the famous horses of Duke Xuande were all majestic. I think it's all from Mr. Feng Chu's method!"

Pang Tong bowed his hands proudly and said with a grin, "It's just some small tricks that can't be used on the table. I'm just ignorant, how can I compare to Brother Zhicai!"

Xi Zhicai also hurriedly bowed his hands to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Zhicai came this time on the order of the lord, and wants to renegotiate the matter of the feudal alliance. I wonder if Duke Xuande has any plans?"

However, Liu Bei did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Pang Tong, until after Pang Tong nodded slightly, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Brother Meng De really cares about the world, then Liu Rui controls the government and brings disaster to the country and the people, I I already wanted to send troops to the north, but this thief is so powerful now, I have the will, but I am not strong enough. Since Brother Meng De has an order today, Liu Bei naturally does not dare to obey."

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Prince Xuande is worried about the country and the people. It really is everyone's style! Please accept Zhicai!"

Liu Bei didn't dare to accept it. When the two of them were declining, they heard Lu Bu's voice from outside the door: "Xuande, I heard that Meng De's messenger is here?"

Xi Zhicai and Liu Bei hurried up to meet them, and they saw Lu Bu and Chen Gongzheng rushing over, and when they saw Xi Zhicai from a distance, they laughed and said, "Zhi Cai, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have lost weight again. !"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "Zhi Cai has met General Lu."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "My military adviser has already guessed your intention. After all, when is Cao Mengde going to send troops!" Lu Bu's words immediately caused Chen Gong's face to darken, showing off his military adviser like this. Not only did he not feel light on his face, but he felt a little embarrassed. He immediately laughed and said, "My general heard that Duke Meng Degong was going to rebuild the coalition army, but he couldn't wait to send troops."

When everyone heard Chen Gong say this, they couldn't help but smile.Although this Lu Bu was brave, he did not have any resourcefulness. It seems that this time it was only with the help of Chen Gong that he was able to recover so quickly.But Lu Bu wanted to send troops so much, but he took advantage of Xi Zhicai's will.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Xi Zhicai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "General Lu, don't be in a hurry, I need to discuss it later. I still need to visit that Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and when the princes gather together, we can discuss when to send troops!"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and said a little displeased: "I heard that Cao Mengde has accumulated a lot of troops this time, and he is still negotiating. Just lead the troops to attack. I don't believe that Liu Rui can stop him."
