But many people in the industry seemed a little confused.
Some didn't want Xu Shu to leave.
Even if Xu Shu told them, with his arrangements, as long as they didn't have evil intentions, they would definitely not have any problems going to Guanzhong.
But in their hearts, they still felt a little panicked.
Compared with these people, Zhuge Liang was basically among the youngest among his peers, but he seemed extremely mature and calm.
So much better than them...
Sure enough, age often means nothing except proving that you have lived longer than others...
…
Jingzhou.
Liu Biao took the letter left by Zhuge Liang from Huang Chengyan and was reading it here.
Huang Chengyan also had some considerations, and he did not immediately submit Zhuge Liang's letter to Liu Biao.
However, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying completed their marriage and expected that after Zhuge Liang left Jingzhou, they came here to see Liu Biao and forward the letter to Liu Biao.
After Liu Biao learned that this was written by Zhuge Liang, he didn't take it seriously.
After all, the last time, Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to himself.
Let yourself surrender or something like that.
I was very angry at that time.
If it weren't for Huang Chengyan's face, he would have done something to make this person look good!
How dare you look down on yourself so much!
At this time, Huang Chengyan said that this was a letter from his son-in-law named Zhuge Liang, and Liu Biao instinctively did not want to read it.
It's just that the situation in Jingzhou is complicated now.
Although many places were still in his hands, Liu Biao felt that these places no longer belonged to him.
He always felt that there was no sense of security at all.
It was also in this mood that he took Zhuge Liang's letter from Huang Chengyan and read it here.
Mainly to relieve boredom and relax your mood.
After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then read the letter again.
After reading it, I didn't say anything for a while.
"What do you think of Jingsheng's remarks?"
Huang Chengyan said.
Liu Biao sighed and said: "It is indeed a method.
However, it is not practical.
There is simply no way to implement it.
This method is indeed a good one for Liu Cheng.
But for me, it is equivalent to cutting off the foundation, which is simply not feasible.
As for the many aristocratic families in Jingzhou, do you think they will act in this way?
Why did they resist Liu Cheng so fiercely?
Why do they gather around me, with me as the leader, so positive?
Isn't it because Liu Thief's division of land and a series of other methods were too harsh?
It was because of these that they desperately opposed Liu Cheng's traitor.
How could he be willing to do these things that they are extremely disgusted with at this time?"
Huang Chengyan nodded when he heard this.
Then he looked at Liu Biao and said, "According to Jing Sheng's opinion, what should be done next?
Is there any good way to deal with Liu Cheng’s traitor?”
Liu Biao was silent for a while after hearing this. Although he was extremely reluctant, he couldn't help but shook his head in the end.
If it were before, he felt that whether Changsha City, Fan City, or Xiangyang City under his rule, they were all extremely tall and strong cities.
As long as there are these cities, the isolated city can be trapped in the future.
Even if the traitor Liu Cheng really captures the rest of Jingzhou, he can still use these fortified cities to defend here.
Form a line of defense.
Let Liu Cheng not dare to drive straight in here.
Impede Liu Cheng and hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Come with others to deal with Liu Cheng.
But after seeing how quickly Nanyang City was captured by Liu Cheng, I couldn't say such words no matter what.
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan was silent for a while, then seemed a little hesitant and said: "Then... why not just do what my son-in-law said, surrender... surrender."
Hearing Huang Chengyan say these words, Liu Biao's body couldn't help but tremble violently.
It seems a little stiff.
Surrender!
He had never thought about this at the beginning!
Huang Chengyan's son-in-law, the unknown boy Zhuge Liang, once asked him to surrender.
At that time, Liu Cheng's army had not yet left Guandong.
I am extremely disgusted with this matter.
At this moment, I was here again, hearing the words that asked me to surrender.
This made him feel a little complicated.
Although it is complicated, the feeling is a little different from the last time.
Last time, Liu Biao still felt that he had the strength to fight.
But at this moment, facing Liu Cheng, a pig-killer who he had not thought highly of in the past and who felt that his background was far inferior to his own, he seemed panicked.
Not that confident.
It is true that the methods displayed by this thief are too appalling!
But...surrender...
After thinking about this in his mind for a while, he still felt a little reluctant.
At this time, he did not surrender, but he was still the lord of Jingzhou and held great power.
Although he has no intention of dominating the world, once he has this power, he still feels a little uncomfortable when he wants to hand it over.
"Let me think about this again!"
After Liu Biao hesitated for a while, he said this.
After all, no clear answer was given.
Huang Chengyan seemed to have half expected this.
Not much to say.
He just said to Liu Biao: "Jing Sheng needs to think more about it and decide on this matter as soon as possible.
If you really want to surrender, you need to make up your mind early.
The sooner you surrender, the more you will have with Liu Cheng.
The longer you delay, the worse it will be for you.
If you wait until the opponent approaches the city and then think about surrendering, the opponent can easily take Jingzhou by themselves, so why should they ask you to surrender?
Even if he would accept surrender, in this case, what leverage does Jing Sheng have to talk to the other party?
How much preferential treatment can I get?"
These words spoken by Huang Chengyan are definitely heartbreaking.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Liu Biao were both sons-in-law of the Cai family, and Liu Biao was considered a well-known person, he would never have said so much to him.
Liu Biao seemed a little silent when he heard this.
Then he seemed to remember something.
"Where is your son-in-law Zhuge Liang?
This person is quite talented.
I gave advice twice, although it seems a little spineless.
But you can see some wisdom in it.
You can know his talent.
This is a young man who has some opinions on current affairs.
If Brother Huang Huang calls him here, I will have a discussion with him face to face.
Maybe you can get some inspiration from him.
It will make up for the future situation..."
Huang Chengyan shook his head.
"My son-in-law doesn't like to interact with others.
Moreover, he also said that there were only two ways he could think of to break the situation.
Either war or peace.
If we fight, there is only one way.
There is not much that can be expected from the other princes.
Even if someone wanted to come to the rescue, according to the speed Liu Cheng showed, they would never be able to last that long.
Without waiting for the other princes to come to rescue you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to hold on to Jingsheng.
Under such circumstances, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible..."
After talking like this for a while, Huang Chengyan said: "At this time, some words are not avoided by Jing Sheng.
After all, Jingsheng is different from ordinary people.
My son-in-law has already left Jingzhou and gone to Guanzhong."
Hearing Huang Chengyan say this, Liu Biao couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he looked angry.
Huang Chengyan said: "Actually, it's not just my son-in-law, but many people from aristocratic families in Jingzhou have made similar choices.
Even our wife's Cai family has some children from other branches going to Guanzhong.
There were even some people from aristocratic families who went directly to Nanyang to meet Liu Cheng..."
After hearing such words, Liu Biao was particularly angry.
There is a lot to say.
Want to be angry.
But looking at Huang Chengyan in front of me, I thought about the many situations in Jingzhou today.
Such words were not said out loud after all.
After doing this for a while, he waved his hand a little dejectedly and said: "Brother Huang, thank you very much.
Please come back.
I'll think about it carefully."
Seeing Liu Biao like this, Huang Chengyan said nothing more.
He bowed his hands to Liu Biao Gong and said goodbye.
On the way back, I couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Biao can still maintain his status, but if the world does not undergo great changes, he can be regarded as a talent.
But once a powerful person comes, Liu Biao will not be enough.
In his opinion, if time really extended, even Sun Jian and Yuan Shao further north would be unable to be defeated by Liu Biao.
Not to mention that at this time, Liu Cheng was still facing him.
Although most of Liu Cheng's many soldiers and horses at this time were still in Nanyang and other places.
He has never come to Jingzhou to attack.
But here in Jingzhou, the situation is actually extremely dangerous!
Under such circumstances, if you can't fight again and again, you can't surrender early.
What's the use of holding on here?
If you stick to it, it will only make the situation worse and worse!
It just made Liu Biao's situation more and more difficult.
But there are some words that can only be said here.
What to do next depends entirely on Liu Biao himself...
After Huang Chengyan left, Liu Biao sat here with extremely complicated mood.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
I really don't have much ideals or ambitions.
I just want to have a good time here and be my own Jingzhou Shepherd.
Guard the one-third of an acre of land here in Jingzhou.
But why is there always someone coming to attack me?
Why does Liu Cheng, a traitor, want to conquer the world?
Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to guard their own territory and live happily together?
Why do we have to fight and kill like this?
It can be said that Liu Biao, who can be called the biggest otaku among the princes of the Three Kingdoms, was extremely uncomfortable at this time.
After doing this for a while, he still didn't make up his mind to surrender.
He felt that based on what Liu Cheng had shown, it was open to question whether the traitor could accept his surrender!
Even if he accepts his surrender, he probably won’t give himself too much preferential treatment!
If I had known this, I should have listened to what Zhuge Liang said and surrendered long ago!
Surrendering at that time would definitely be much better than now...
…
Here in Nanyang, Liu Cheng looked in the direction of Jingzhou.
