After listening to Cheng Yu's explanation, Liu Bei understood what he meant. To be honest, he had no objection to going to Yizhou. Whether Liu Biao wanted to surrender as rumored, or Liu Biao wanted to fight, he wanted to fight with the power of Jingzhou alone.
It is simply impossible for Yuan Shu to occupy the land of Kyushu.
Rather than waiting to die here, it is better to go to Yizhou. The road there is difficult. If you manage it well, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to invade even if he has a million troops.
"Then my lord has decided?"
Looking at Liu Bei's eyes, Cheng Yu knew that he had made a decision.
"Well, I'll go to Xiangyang right away to meet Liu Jingsheng and see what he wants to do."
Liu Bei nodded to Cheng Yu. The current situation is that he is not familiar with Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan. It can be said that they have never met each other, but Liu Biao is different. He and Liu Yan are both Han clan clansmen, and they are both Han men.
Important minister, if Liu Biao can recommend me, I believe Liu Yan will happily accept him.
(Liu Biao's letter to Liu Yanyou was similar to Zixia's sage talk in Xihe, which happened in 191. But now Liu Biao has been disrupted, and it is impossible to care about Liu Yan's affairs, so it is set like this.
)
"Although Liu Biao will not harm the lord, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou will not sit back and watch Liu Biao rely on the lord to turn the tables. Therefore, something may happen to the lord. It is better to be careful, so the lord should go to Xiangyang with the three generals."
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Bei and directly asked him to take Zhang Fei to Xiangyang.
"Okay, third brother, then get ready and come with me to see Liu Biao."
After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei also agreed. Now Xiangyang can be regarded as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you are not careful, you may be devoured by a pack of wolves, so taking Zhang Fei there is an extra insurance.
"promise."
Zhang Fei clasped his fists and promised.
"Brother, let me go with you, more people will take care of you."
Guan Yu also knew that the situation in Xiangyang City was critical, so he also wanted to enter the city with Liu Bei.
"Chang Yun, the army cannot be without generals for a day. You can stabilize the morale of the army in Zhonglu, and I will take my third brother to Xiangyang."
Liu Bei shook his head. Maybe the civil and military officials in Xiangyang City would still be a little wary of Guan Yu outside. If the three brothers were trapped in Xiangyang, then the sky would not respond and the earth would not work.
"Brother, but..."
Guan Yu wanted to speak, but Zhang Fei spoke from the side.
"Second brother, don't worry. With Zhang Fei here, no one can hurt the eldest brother."
After listening to Zhang Fei's words and looking at Liu Bei, Guan Yu had no choice but to choose to stay in Zhonglu.
"Then I wish my lord a happy journey."
"Well, third brother, prepare the carriage and horses immediately. Let's go directly to Xiangyang."
"promise."
Zhang Fei led two hundred cavalry to protect Liu Bei and left Zhonglu and ran directly towards Xiangyang City.
"Zirou, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to come from Luzhong to narrate the story, do we want it?"
Cai Mao made a beheading gesture towards Kuai Liang.
"It's not a good time to get into trouble now. I heard that my wife has convinced him and he is willing to cooperate, so he is recruiting Liu Bei for other reasons."
Kuai Liang glanced at Cai Mao. The news just came from Mrs. Cai that Liu Biao had accepted his fate and agreed to cooperate in surrender. If Liu Bei was killed now, it would probably cause Liu Biao to repeat himself. This would be a bit more than gain.
"Okay, let's wait and see. If there is no problem, everything will be fine. But if Liu Biao and Liu Bei want to cause trouble, then don't blame me, Mr. Cai, for turning against each other."
Although Kuai Liang said so, Cai Mao still didn't want to give up. It would be okay if Liu Biao and Liu Bei didn't have any frivolous intentions. If they really wanted to join forces to do something against their own interests, then he would never be merciful.
"Well, let's see what happens."
Kuai Liang also nodded. Cai Mao will never let anyone touch his cake now. After all, Kuai Yue has already gone to Hongnong County. As long as Yuan Shu comes, he can at least make a contribution, even if he cannot take the Cai family away.
, at least it can ensure the prosperity of the family. If Liu Bei wants to cause trouble at this time, Cai Mao will definitely fight for his life.
Liu Bei and his men entered Xiangyang City easily, and then Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to the outside of Liu Biao's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
"what for?"
Seeing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei approaching, the soldiers outside the Prefectural Mufu Mansion immediately unsheathed their swords and prepared their weapons.
"This is my eldest brother, the town general Liu Bei. Liu Zhoumu has called my brother to come and narrate the story. Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
When Zhang Fei saw the soldiers in front of him, he stepped forward and shouted loudly at them.
"General Cai Mao has an order that no one can meet Lord Zhou Mu."
Although Zhang Fei pointed out Liu Bei's identity and explained that it was Liu Biao who invited Liu Bei to come, the soldiers at the door did not listen to his words at all.
"I think you don't want to live anymore. I'm afraid you haven't figured out whether Jingzhou's surname is Liu or Cai. What I'm saying is that Liuzhou Mu recruited my eldest brother to come over. If you dare to stop me again, I'll kill you.
"
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, and feeling Zhang Fei's power, the soldiers at the door swallowed involuntarily.
"Don't be rude if you are a good person."
Seeing the tense situation between the two parties, Liu Bei couldn't help but frowned, and then shouted to stop Zhang Fei.
"Brother."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei also calmed down his anger and came behind him.
"Who is in charge? It is a fact that Liuzhou Mu recruited me here. I believe you, General Cai Mao, should know. Just go and ask and you will know."
Liu Bei did not embarrass them and asked them to ask the person in charge directly.
"General, wait a moment, we're going to inquire."
A team leader immediately hugged Liu Bei and left to find someone to report to.
The news about Liu Bei's visit to the Prefectural Mufu was reported one after another, and finally reached Cai Mao's ears.
"Let him in."
Cai Mao had long known that Liu Bei was coming. Hearing his request to see Liu Biao, he knew that now was not the time to stop him, so he directly asked Liu Bei to be let in.
When the news came, the soldiers outside the door quickly opened the passage, and Liu Bei went directly to the Prefecture Mufu to meet Liu Biao.
"Xuande is here."
Liu Biao saw Liu Bei coming in and asked him to come in and sit down.
"Sir, your current situation is not good."
Liu Bei frowned and looked at the smiling Liu Biao. He didn't understand why Liu Biao was still laughing now. He had obviously been sidelined and put under house arrest. Why?
"It doesn't matter, I have decided to join Yuan Shu, just follow them."
Liu Biao looked indifferent, because he no longer wanted to resist, because it was meaningless. He now had to consider the future of his family.
"Since your lord has decided to join Yuan Shu, why are you calling Liu Bei here?"
Hearing Liu Biao's words, Liu Bei frowned. It seemed that as Cheng Yu said, Liu Biao wanted to leave Jingzhou.
"I don't know if Xuande has any ideas about the future road. Yuan Jiujiu's army is approaching, and there is no suspense in Jingzhou."
