Early the next morning, Wang Can returned to the palace and talked for a while with Cai Yan, Diao Chan and Dong Hui.
Later, Wang Can went to see Mr. Gan, but met a wall with Mr. Gan.
Wang Can didn't take this situation to heart.
He did not force the overlord to bow, nor forced the Gan family, but left directly. Then he sent orders to Li Ru, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Tian Feng and Shi Alai to come to the palace.
In the side hall, Xun You and others were sitting at attention.
Wang Can sat upright and said slowly: "I came to you today to discuss the matter of dealing with Jingzhou. After Liangzhou and Nanyang County were pacified, the matter has come to an end. The target of the next stage will be Jingzhou. How to plan for Jingzhou? How can we do it?
To capture Jingzhou in the shortest possible time? Tell us your respective opinions?"
After a pause, Wang Can said again: "Everyone can speak freely and don't have any scruples."
Xun You said: "There are many families in Jingzhou, and they are intertwined. Among them, the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Huang family, the Xiang family and other big families are the leaders. If we want to capture Jingzhou and govern Jingzhou well, we must win over some of them. I suggest that I send someone.
Gradually infiltrate into these families, adopt them as their own, and serve as the lord's internal agents."
Cheng Yu continued: "My lord, Yu believes that in order to capture Jingzhou quickly, the morale of the soldiers in Jingzhou must be broken down. My lord killed Ma Teng, killed Han Sui, pacified Xiliang, captured Nanyang County, and defeated Liu Bei.
The most important thing is to capture Zhang Yun. All these things can be publicized in Jingzhou and prepare for the Lord to send troops."
Cheng Yu's idea was to build momentum and portray Wang Can's invincible image.
This method is feasible, but it is not the last resort.
Li Ru thought for a while and then said: "What Mr. Cheng said makes sense, but I don't think we should throw dirty water on Liu Biao and portray Liu Biao as a person without virtue and righteousness. This means that it was Liu Biao who broke the covenant first and Liu Biao ignored it.
Allies. No matter what, we must keep Liu Biao silent and let the people of Jingxiang know that the lord is the master of promoting justice, and that it is reasonable to attack Liu Biao. As long as the lord holds the righteousness, he can capture Jingzhou in the shortest time."
At this time, Tian Feng, who had been taciturn for a long time, said: "My lord, I think that when I'm throwing dirty water on Liu Biao, I can ask Liu Biao to hand over Liu Bei. If Liu Biao takes the initiative to hand over Liu Bei, I can solve one of my lord's big enemies, and even Liu Bei can get it."
After hearing the news, it is also good that he will not sit back and wait for death, but launches a counterattack and causes civil strife in Jingzhou. If Liu Biao does not hand over Liu Bei, my lord will confidently send troops. No one dares to refute my lord wherever he goes."
Guo Jia smiled faintly and said: "It is easy for my lord to take Jingzhou, so why should I be so cautious? According to my humble position, Liu Biao is just temporarily guarding Jingzhou for my lord, waiting for my lord to go and take it."
After Wang Can heard this, he shook his head secretly.
Although Jingzhou is a small land and Liu Biao is in the sunset, the people of Jingzhou are not easy to deal with.
For Liu Biao alone, Wang Can would not tolerate this.
However, there are still Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in Jingzhou. Now Zhuge Liang has not left the mountain, and Pang Tong is missing, and no one can be found at all, so Wang Can has to be cautious.
The most important thing is Zhuge Liang, this young man who is nearly 20 years old, Wang Can has to treat him with caution.
After Wang Can listened to what all the counselors said, he considered it carefully and then said: "Based on your opinions, we will formulate a strategy for Jingzhou based on this. The first step is to build momentum. On the one hand, let Liu Biao surrender.
Leaving Liu Bei to make Liu Biao difficult to make a choice; on the other hand, framing Liu Biao and putting Liu Biao in an unkind and unjust situation; second, to publicize the fact that the Shu army is unstoppable, so that everyone in Jingzhou is afraid and has no idea of resistance;
Third, start to win over the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and disintegrate them from within."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can looked at Shi A and ordered: "Shi A, I'll leave this matter to you."
"promise!"
After hearing this, Shi A immediately agreed.
…
Jingzhou, Chu Palace.
After Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou with Sun Qian, Jian Yong and Zhang Fei, they immediately visited Liu Biao.
At that moment, Liu Biao received Liu Bei and was delighted with Liu Bei's arrival.
At the banquet, Liu Bei raised his wine bottle and saluted Liu Biao and said: "Brother Jingsheng, Bei went south from Yuzhou and ended up in Jingzhou, all thanks to brother Jingsheng for taking him in. If it weren't for brother Jingsheng's generosity, Bei would have nowhere to go and could only take off his armor." Returning to the fields." As he spoke, Liu Bei felt sad, his face immediately showed a sad expression, and his eyes became moist.
Jian Yong and Sun Qian were sitting behind Liu Bei. When they heard Liu Bei's words, they felt even more sad, angry and ashamed, and couldn't bear to eat.
If it weren't for the incompetence of the two of them, how could Yuzhou and Yangzhou be lost?
When the two of them thought that Cao Cao had taken away Liu Bei's foundation, they felt very painful in their hearts.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he also shook his head and sighed, drinking alone.
Liu Biao stroked his long beard under his chin and comforted him with kind words: "Xuande, when heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body... You are now living in Jingzhou, and you have nothing to do." He has no place to live, but there will definitely be a chance to rise in the future. In the past, Gou Jian suffered hardships and finally destroyed Wu. As long as Xuande does not give up and has the will to fight again, he will eventually defeat Wang Can and regain his territory."
When Liu Bei saw Liu Biao mentioning "defeat Wang Can", he felt happy.
At least, this shows that if Liu Biao and Wang Can don't deal with each other, this is his chance of survival.
If Liu Biao reconciles with Wang Can, his situation will be in danger.
Liu Bei listened to Liu Biao's words and expressed his gratitude again and again. Immediately, Liu Bei asked tentatively: "Brother Jingsheng, Bei has been exiled to Jingzhou this time. He still has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, but these soldiers have no place to stay and no food and grass to support them." , Brother Jing Sheng, please arrange a place to go!"
Liu Biao thought about it and asked, "Xuande, are you willing to go to Fancheng?"
Liu Bei didn't care where Fancheng was, he immediately agreed, clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Brother Jingsheng is a great virtuous man. On behalf of the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, thank you very much, brother Jingsheng!"
While speaking, Liu Bei saluted Liu Biao again.
In fact, Liu Bei knew where Fancheng was. When he came to Jingzhou, he passed by Fancheng.
Fancheng is located in the north of Xiangyang, at the intersection of the Feishui River and the Han River. It can be called the northern gateway of Xiangyang City. Liu Biao handed Fancheng to Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to guard the northern gateway for him.
After Liu Bei found a place to stay, he put away his grief and talked to Liu Biao about other things.
A banquet is a joyful one.
After the banquet, Liu Bei left with Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others.
In the main hall, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang did not leave.
Cai Mao stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Liu Bei has just arrived, and we still have no way of knowing what Liu Bei is thinking. We cannot leave Fancheng to Liu Bei for guarding. If Liu Bei has other ideas, Xiangyang will be in danger. Please think again, lord!"
Liu Biao snorted and said, "I have my own plan, so you don't need to worry about it."
After a pause, Liu Biao asked loudly: "Gu heard that Cai Ya disappeared. Doesn't she think Gu is not good enough for her?"
At this time, Liu Biao's pettiness came out.
Liu Biao was very happy when he heard that Cai Mao said that he wanted to marry him. On the one hand, Cai Ya was a beautiful woman in Jingzhou and was famous far and wide. Liu Biao married Cai Ya, a beautiful woman in a golden house. What a beautiful thing it was. On the other hand, Liu Biao wanted to marry Cai Ya. The Cai family got married, took the Cai family into their own hands, and then disintegrated the Jingzhou family from within. But now that Cai Ya has disappeared, Liu Biao's plan failed.
In this case, Liu Biao certainly did not give Cai Mao a good look.
Hearing this, Cai Hao hurriedly said: "My lord, I just went out to relax and will be back."
When Liu Biao saw Cai Mao's trembling and frightened expression, he immediately smiled and had no intention of pursuing the matter. He opened his mouth and yawned, waved his hand and said, "We are all tired, please go down."
When the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao heard this, they left immediately.
After leaving the palace, Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao, sighed a few times, and went back home with Kuai Liang.
Cai Mao was alone and slowly returned to Cai Mansion.
…
In the post house, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian and Jian Yong were sitting opposite each other.
Liu Bei's eyes swept around the three people, and finally landed on Sun Qian, and said: "Liu Biao asked us to station in Fancheng because he wanted us to resist the enemies in the north. But no matter what, we finally have a foothold. This time I will lead my soldiers north to Fancheng, but Gongyou, you must stay and continue to stay in Xiangyang."
Sun Qian cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your orders, my lord!"
Obviously, Liu Bei had something to do when he left him behind.
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Gongtai was captured by Wang Can, and there is a shortage of counselors in the army. Since Jingzhou's literary style is at its peak, there must be some talented people in Xiangyang who are not serving as officials. You stay in Xiangyang, go around and ask about the talented people in Xiangyang, and get After receiving the news, you don’t need to visit. You only need to hand over my greeting card and then send a letter to me, waiting for me to visit in person."
"promise!"
Sun Qian nodded and agreed.
Liu Bei then showed a smile. Although he has settled in Fancheng now, Fancheng is not his foundation. He will rely on Liu Biao's power to rise again.
The Lord of Jingzhou is not Liu Biao!
