"What!" Liu Bei was surprised. He was able to station troops in Xinye, get along well in Jingzhou, and make friends with clans. In addition to his status as an emperor, he relied on his intimate relationship with Liu Biao.

With Liu Biao under his command, Cai Mao would only dare to kill him secretly.

But if Liu Biao dies, not to mention what Cai Mao will do to him, Xinye City will become an isolated city at that time, and you cannot attack and retreat.

The situation became dangerous in an instant.

"Hurry up, call Zilong, come with me and go to Xiangyang City. Please ask the military advisor for all the government and military affairs in Xinye." After Liu Bei said that, he looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others and reminded him, "After I leave, all affairs will be arranged by the military advisor, and you two are not allowed to cause rashness."

"If I come back and know that you have neglected the military advisor, let me see how I deal with you."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhao Yun came out on a white horse, and he slapped his horse and headed towards Xiangyang City.

Liu Bei left.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang with a slanted eyes, got off the horse and went straight into the city.

Zhuge Liang didn't care, so he went directly to the government affairs lobby, picked up the government affairs that had accumulated on weekdays and started to deal with it.

...

Xuchang.

Su Chen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and looked at Xu Chu who was sitting beside him with helpless expressions, looking "I'm for your own good" on his face.

Since Cao Cao's order.

Xu Chu ran to him every now and then when he had nothing to do.

It is called friendly exchange, but in fact it is just a drink.

Su Chen originally planned not to give it to him, but Xu Chu refused to leave. And while Su Chen was resting in the sun, he was practicing martial arts with his weapon, and the shouting was even more harsh than the noise of the square dance aunt.

There was no choice but to bring out the wine and let Xu Chu drink it aside.

Erguotou's degree is already high, and even though Xu Chu has a lot of alcohol, he can't stand it. Every time he gets half drunk, he always pulls Su Chen and tells him which clan girl is beautiful and cannot be used. How many young men have broken the threshold, he doesn't agree. Which aunt is strong and strong, and is not inferior to a man, and is easy to raise, so he can give birth to a son...

As the times went on, Su Chen almost heard calluses in his ears.

"Military advisor... hiccup... you believe me, hiccup... I won't lie to you."

Xu Chu held the wine jar and murmured with a red look.

"Zhongkang, it's getting late, you can go back quickly." Su Chen looked at Tianse and said.

Xu Chu stood up, held the wine jar, walked two steps in a crooked manner, and said, "The military advisor, I'll leave first, come again tomorrow."

As he said that, he walked out of the mansion.

You must not come here.

Looking at Xu Chu's back, Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

If Xu Chu continues to think of this, he doesn't know if he will go crazy.

I just want to get rid of such days unless I leave Xuchang...

yes.

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

It was better for Cao Cao to lead his army to go south, so he might as well take a step forward and go to Jingxiang to relax.

"Young Master, I've written a letter from Jingzhou."

At this time, Zhen Mi, who was wearing men's clothing, walked in and handed a letter to Su Chen.

From Jingzhou?

Su Chen's heart moved.

In the past two years, he has been delivering letters to the Huang family in Jingzhou, naturally to let Huang Yueying come to Xuchang to see him.

However, all the letters were sunk to the sea and there was no news.

Helplessly, Su Chen had to order the secret guard to investigate Huang Yueying's whereabouts.

And this letter was sent by the secret guards.

Because no one can understand the contents of the letter except those who have been trained.

In this era, no one understands cryptography.

After reading the contents of the letter, Su Chen burned the letter casually, and a sneer appeared on his face.

All the letters he sent to the Huang family in the past two years were secretly burned by the Huang family members, and even Huang Yueying was kept in the dark and did not know about it.

The purpose of the Huang family doing all this is just to promote the marriage between Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang.

As for him, he was not seen by the Huang family at all.

"It seems that I really have to go to Jingzhou." Su Chen said.

By the way, I can also do the main task, killing two birds with one stone.

The second day.

Su's house.

When Cao Cao heard that Su Chen was going to Jingzhou, he hurriedly brought Xu Chu over.

"The military advisor is going to Jingzhou now?"

Cao Cao looked at Su Chen with a embarrassed expression and said, "The journey from Xuchang to Jingzhou is long, and it is too dangerous for the military advisor to go here.

Of course, more importantly, he was about to march southward and Su Chen suddenly left. If he faced difficulties, who would he ask for to discuss it?

Although there are countless advisers under his command, he really can't find anyone who can open his heart and have no restrictions on the negotiations like Su Chen.

Originally, there was Guo Jia next to him.

But since he decided to plan for Liaodong and resolved the northern crisis, Guo Jia died of illness.

Su Chen, both in his mind and personality, is quite similar to Guo Jia.

He is the one who is truly willing to support his heart.

"Prime Minister Don't worry too much. I'll just go to Jingzhou first to find out the truth for the Prime Minister." Su Chen said.

He knew Cao Cao's character.

If he went to Jingzhou for no reason, Cao Cao would probably not agree, and he might even doubt whether he had any secrets to go to Jingzhou before the war.

With Cao Cao's suspicious personality, he really thought so.

What Su Chen had to do was to dispel Cao Cao's suspicion.

"Oh, how can the military advisor explain this?" Sure enough, Cao Cao showed an interesting look.

"Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, is not young anymore and is sick. I guess it will take as short as one month or as long as three months, and Liu Biao will die."

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately showed a strange look: "But what does this have to do with the military advisor going to Jingzhou? Could it be that the military advisor has an old age with Liu Biao?"

"Of course not." Su Chen shook his head, and then asked Cao Cao: "Does the Prime Minister know that after Liu Biao's death, Jingzhou will fall into?"

Cao Cao nodded and said a person's name: "Cai Mao."

Obviously, in order to go south to Jiangdong, Boss Cao has made a lot of preparations during this period.

He has checked the information about all important figures in Jingzhou for a long time.

Among them, Cai Mao is the person who needs to be taken seriously the most.

"Yes, then the Prime Minister knows that his elder sister married Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, and his second sister married Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. It can be seen that Cai Mao is the best at ease. Such people are often greedy for power and have no heroic resources."

After Su Chen introduced Cai Mao’s character, he continued, “The Prime Minister led his army south, and Cai Mao had only two choices to survive.”

"First, surrender to the Prime Minister, second, surrender to Jiangdong."

"With Cai Mao's camp, he will definitely surrender to the Prime Minister, so I went to Jingzhou to be quite a lobbyist for the Prime Minister, persuade Cai Mao to surrender to the Prime Minister and be prepared to attack Jiangdong."

hiss!

Cao Cao took a breath.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen had thought about it so long and had already figured out a plan to take down Jingzhou for him.

If we can really take over Jingzhou with this, we will not only avoid a big battle, but also win more than 100,000 well-trained naval troops in Jingzhou for nothing.

The chances of winning against Jiangdong were a little higher.

After all, the navy in Jingzhou is not the ordinary navy he trained in Xuanwu Lake.

However, Cao Cao was still a little worried about this. He had thought of persuading Cai Mao to surrender, but he had many concerns.

First, Liu Biao was not dead, but Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou.

Secondly, Cai Mao is the best at speculation. Although he was the one who rushed south and Jingzhou was the first to be the brunt of it, no one wanted to become someone else's subordinate in vain, right?

It is better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail.

Cai Mao was in this mentality at this time.

To take Cai Mao, one must first put a large army in the face of the border and put pressure on it, and secondly, use high officials and generous titles to induce them.
