Speaking of which, Liu Biao's health had been in good and bad situations for twelve years after he entered Jian'an. When summer came, he fell ill again, and his condition was very serious. Although Liu Biao's health improved somewhat in late summer, he was still in bad health.
Qiu Bian fell ill again, and then fell ill again.
Liu Biao's condition was very serious, and as the weather turned colder, his condition worsened day by day.
It was at this time that Jingzhou and Nanyang went into full-scale war. He recalled Liu Bei and placed him in Fancheng, which was akin to house arrest. Then he took back Xinye and other places, and launched a protracted and fierce battle with Cao Peng. The battle line started from Zhangling
, extending all the way to Anzhong. Liu Biao mobilized tens of thousands of troops to gather on the front line of Xinye, and sent capable generals such as Wenpin, Wang Wei and others to supervise the front line.
However, Cao Peng stopped his offensive at this time!
In his words, during the autumn harvest, it is not appropriate to fight, and people's livelihood should be the priority.
Sunset came to the rescue and earned Cao Peng a lot of points. Many powerful families in Nanyang expressed their appreciation for Cao Peng. As Cao Peng said, Jing people manage things and Jing people govern. At critical times, outsiders are not enough to rely on.
The powerful people in Rangcheng and other places have more or less expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Biao. They believe that Liu Biao not only did not shut himself up to reflect on himself after such a huge flood, but instead forcibly started a war, it was definitely not the work of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, celebrities in Nanyang, led by Deng Di, Cen Shao, etc., published an article in Nanyang Pravda, strongly criticizing Liu Biao. Liu Biao had a reputation, and he was scolded bloody. Naturally, he was extremely angry...
But unfortunately, Liu Biao did not have a mouthpiece like Nanyang Pravda, so he could only explain it on a small scale!
While Cao Peng launched a public opinion war, he stepped up to clean up the mess.
Although Nanyang suffered from natural disasters and many places were flooded. However, because Cao Peng had made preparations in advance and mobilized a large amount of grain and grass from Yingchuan as reserves, there was no large-scale death. On the contrary, under Cao Peng's deliberate arrangements, people everywhere received
Various degrees of evacuation and relief were implemented. Several counties with the original most densely populated areas carried out refugee diversion under Cao Peng's instructions.
Transport refugees to places where the disaster is less severe and the population is smaller.
At the same time, a certain degree of compensation is provided based on specific circumstances.
For example, places like Rangcheng were originally densely populated and land was relatively tight... After diversion and rearrangement, many refugees, especially those with little property, were relocated to counties with relatively small populations, such as Danshui County.
As the government, in addition to arranging relocation, it will also provide land compensation.
In this way, counties like Rangcheng, which are relatively short on land, have been relieved to a certain extent. And counties like Danshui, which have a lot of idle land, have increased their population, so that the land can be properly utilized. In short,
After Cao Peng settled in Wancheng, he devoted all his energy to dealing with the disaster. At the same time, every step he took was reported to everyone through the Nanyang Pravda Report to win everyone's understanding. These actions were also received
The people of Nanyang praised him, and they were full of praise for Cao Peng.
Cao Peng's prestige has been greatly improved.
Liu Biao, however, was helpless in the face of Cao Peng's carefully arranged defense line.
At the end of September in the twelfth year of Jian'an, Duke Pang was invited by Cao Peng to go out of Lumen Mountain and visit Wancheng. He was very satisfied with what Cao Peng had done after arriving in Nanyang. Moreover, under Duke Pang's persuasion, he had visited Jiyang before.
Chen Zhen, a famous scholar in Wancheng who was captured by Deng Zhi, also agreed to surrender. Of course, with Chen Zhen's reputation and status, it was absolutely impossible to surrender to Cao Peng. When he surrendered, he surrendered to Cao Cao. After all, in terms of age, seniority, and
Cao Peng's qualifications were not enough to subdue Chen Zhen. However, Cao Peng used the reason that Nanyang was in ruins and needed help, so he kept Chen Zhen to work for Nanyang County and assist Cao Peng to deal with the disaster in Nanyang.
Later, Pang Degong published an article in Nanyang Pravda, denounced Liu Biao for insisting on his own way regardless of the life and death of the people...
After Liu Biao finished reading Pang Degong's article, he was so angry that he fell ill again. His illness also forced the war on the front line of Nanyang County to be stopped. Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others
Once again gain the upper hand and take control.
In October of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao's condition worsened and he died of illness in Xiangyang!

Liu Biao's death plunged the entire Jingzhou into panic.
Who will take over Liu Biao's position?
This has become a topic of concern to everyone.
In terms of age, Liu Qi was naturally the one to take over Jingxiang. Not only was he Liu Biao's eldest son, he had come with Liu Biao earlier when he stationed in Jingzhou and accompanied Liu Biao through the initial difficult times. Therefore, regardless of age or seniority, Liu Qi was
It is enough to take up the post of Jingzhou Shepherd.
But unfortunately, Liu Qi also has a brother!
Liu Cong was young, but he was always favored by Liu Biao...
Moreover, behind Liu Cong, there was a huge Jingxiang family as backers, supporting him to take over Jingzhou.
Cai Mao, the commander-in-chief of the navy in Jingzhou, was Liu Cong's uncle. All the 200,000 navy in Jingzhou were in the hands of Cai Mao, who became Liu Cong's biggest supporter.
At the same time, Liu Qi was far away in Jiangxia and was entangled by Li Tong and Yu Jin.
Although he invited Guan Yu and Ma Liang to help him, it would take a long time to defeat Li Tong. This also meant that when Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Qi was not around. Without Xiangyang, he could not control the current situation.
It has become his biggest weakness at present...
"My lord, Liu Biao is about to die. God has given Jingzhou an inheritance for the lord, so we must not miss this opportunity."
In the hall of Fancheng County, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei anxiously.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, showed a look of embarrassment and said softly: "Kong Ming, now that Jingshengfang is here, I will take his inheritance. It would be a loss of morality."
"Lord!"
Zhuge Liang was anxious, "Now, we must not hesitate.
Cao Cao has killed Yuan Xi and pacified Liaodong. If he returns to his army, he will definitely capture the nine counties of Jing and Xiang. What's more, Cao Peng is ambitious and is eyeing Nanyang County. While Jing Sheng is still alive, he still has some concerns. But now Jing Sheng
Even if the official passes away, he will definitely not miss this opportunity."
"That……"
Liu Bei said softly: "I'm afraid Cai may not be willing to agree."
Zhuge Liang said: "I have a plan that can make my lord conquer Jingzhou without losing any blood."
"Kong Ming, what's the plan?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now Liu Jingzhou has died of illness and Xiangyang is in chaos.
The lord can use the excuse to express his condolences to Liu Jingzhou and lead his troops to Xiangyang. Yi Jibo is in Xiangyang City and can provide internal reinforcements. When the time comes, attack from inside and outside, taking advantage of the fact that the Cai family has not yet stabilized, and capture Xiangyang City in one fell swoop. Then your uncle will go to Changsha with the tiger talisman.
, sent Zishan to Wuling and occupied the four counties in Jingnan. At that time, the lord will ask the eldest son to return to Xiangyang and send the two generals to guard Jiangxia, then Jingzhou will be easily accessible."
As the saying goes, catch the unexpected and cover up the unprepared.
First capture Xiangyang, and then welcome Liu Qi back...
With Liu Qi's orders to take charge of Jingxiang, even those from the Jingxiang family were helpless.
But in fact, once Liu Qi returns to Xiangyang, it will be difficult to take the initiative. This is also Liu Bei's best choice at the moment...
Zhuge Liang's strategy can be said to be another version of serving the emperor to order the princes.
He was sent to Liu Qi to govern Xiangyang.
Liu Bei was silent for a moment. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind.
"In this case, let's follow Kong Ming's plan.
However, you still need to send someone to contact Yi Jibo.
Seven days later, you and I, together with Mr. Ji Bo, will cooperate internally and externally to seize Xiangyang... Remember, you must not destroy the lives of the two young masters, only get rid of the first rebel."
This reverse is attributed to Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others.
Zhuge Liang suddenly felt relaxed and bowed: "Don't worry, my lord, Liang will save you the trouble."
