Liu Bei went south to Jingzhou to show his strength and brought 20000 elite soldiers.
This is his main force.
There are still some troops stationed in Runan County to avoid danger.
Liu Bei rode in front of him. He was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he was in high spirits. When Liu Bei led the army to the north gate of Jingzhou, close to the gate, Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, strode toward the gate.
Liu Biao also took the initiative to go out and greet him personally.
When they first met, they saluted each other.
Liu Bei folded his hands and bowed to the end. He said respectfully, "King Shenggong, you're welcome."
Liu Biao also Yidi to the end, said: "Liu Yuzhou, courtesy."
Both of them respect each other. Whether Liu Bei or Liu Biao, they are all members of the Han clan. With this relationship alone, the two sides are close.
Now it's more about cooperation, so we respect each other.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "when he was in Yuzhou, he heard Kong Ming say that jingshenggong's governance of Jingzhou was very effective. It can be said that there was no room left for him to leave home at night. Today, I'm here to answer King's invitation and learn from him. "
At this time, in the army, a young man strode forward.
It was Zhuge Liang who came.
He stopped behind Liu Bei and said, "ZHUGE Liang, meet Liu Jingzhou."
Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that Kong Ming was playing for uncle Liu. It's good, it's good!" Speaking of this, Liu Biao's eyes, but it is a glimmer of shadow.
Once, Liu Biao recruited Zhuge Liang.
But Zhuge Liang ignored it. Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Liang left Jingzhou quietly, he left Liu Biao, a feudal lord like him, and he went to work for Liu Bei.
Even though Liu Biao calls Liu Bei Liu Yuzhou and knows that Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, Liu Biao thinks that Liu's uncle is just the cry of the little emperor.
Liu Biao was respectful to Liu Bei because he asked for it. In fact, he didn't pay attention to Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said with a smile, "my Lord's ambition lies in Kuangfu's Han Dynasty. He deeply admired my Lord's ambition and thought of himself as my Lord. That's why I work for the Lord. "
Liu Biao said, "I'll take care of you."
Liu Bei said: "King Sheng Gong, we are going to attack Jiangdong this time. I don't know when Zhang Taiwei will arrive?"
Liu Biao replied, "it should be fast."
"Newspaper!"
Just then, a sentry came running from a distance.
The sentinel galloped to Liu Biao and reported: "my Lord, Zhang Xiu's army will arrive at the north gate in another two quarters of an hour."
Liu Biao nodded and waved the sentry to retreat.
At this time, Liu Biao said with a smile: "Liu Yuzhou, Zhang Taiwei's army, will arrive in two quarters of an hour. Why don't we wait here for a moment and go into the city with Zhang Taiwei? "
"No problem!"
When Liu Bei heard the speech, he answered directly.
Although Liu Bei agreed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hummed behind him.
They have heard all kinds of Zhang Xiu, but they have never put Zhang Xiu in their eyes. In the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei is the only hero in the world. The rest of the people are dregs, and they are not as good as Liu Bei.
In particular, Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, even if Zhang Xiu is a Taiwei, so what?
Why wait for Zhang Xiu.
Although Guan Yu didn't like it, he just stroked the long beard under his jaw. That a jujube red face, look cold, Danfeng eyes slightly narrowed, did not show what posture.
But Zhang Fei is different.
Zhang Fei was violent. When he heard that he had to wait for Zhang Xiu, he yelled: "Liu Jingzhou, let's go first. Why do we have to wait for Lao Shizi's Zhang Xiu. Now, we're going straight into the city. When Zhang Xiu arrives, he will enter the city himself. Why wait for Zhang Xiu? You take my elder brother and wait for Zhang Xiu here. How can it be
When Liu Biao heard the speech, a trace of smile passed through his eyes.
That's what he wants.
That is to make the conflict between Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei.
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and explained: "Jing Shenggong, my three younger brothers are impatient and reckless. That's what they are. They are not likable at all. He doesn't have to worry about his words. "
Liu Biao said with a light smile: "Liu Yuzhou is polite. It's nothing to worry about."
After a pause, Liu Biao said again, "I'm very grateful for Liu Yuzhou's understanding. In a word, Zhang Xiu led 30000 troops to the south, which was the main force to attack sun CE. What's more, Zhang Taiwei's soldiers are all conquering. Especially when it comes to official positions, they are all above you and me, so we have to wait. Liu Yuzhou, please forgive me for the mistakes. "
Gu Yong stood behind Liu Biao and nodded secretly.
These words, he told Liu Biao long ago. Whether Liu Bei arrives first or Zhang Xiu arrives first, Liu Biao has his own words and will stir up the relationship between the two sides intentionally or unintentionally.It was done on purpose.
When Liu Bei heard Liu Biao's words, he saw a light in his eyes, but his face was calm. He was not impatient and said, "what Jingsheng said is true. It's OK to wait. Zhang Taiwei killed Xiongnu, killed Li Xi and Guo Si, and captured Qiang people. I would like to see such a person. Just wait a minute. That's fine
After that, Liu Fei glared again.
Zhang Fei hummed and stopped talking, but the look on his face was also very unhappy.
He looks angry.
Zhuge Liang saw all this in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Liu Biao, but he was a little surprised. Because just now a series of words, are to stir up their relationship with Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao alone can't do that.
This is Zhuge Liang's judgment.
Zhuge Liang knew the situation of Jingzhou, and even knew that the Pang family, Kuai family and Zhang Xiu had something to do with each other. He was surprised to see a middle-aged man standing beside Liu Biao in front of Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.
He doesn't know the man.
Zhuge Liang lived in Jingzhou for many years, and he was very clear about the personnel of Jingzhou. But he didn't know the person in front of him. He was a bit eccentric.
Zhuge Liang came forward and said, "King Shenggong, I don't know what to call the people around you?"
Liu Biao put his hand on his forehead and said with emotion, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Come, come. I'll introduce Liu Yuzhou and Kong Ming. His name is Gu Yong. Gu kougu, the doctrine of the mean, is my aide. "
"Yes, Mr. Gu!"
Zhuge Liang came forward and saluted.
He suddenly understood that the reason why Liu Biao asked them to go south must be Gu Yong's idea. Because according to Liu Biao's temperament, he may be sold by Zhang Xiu, and he has to help Zhang Xiu count the money.
It must be Guyong's suggestion.
This person is not simple.
Zhuge Liang had his first impression.
Gu Yong's face was calm. He bowed his hand and said, "I have heard the name of Zhuge Wolong for a long time in Xiangyang. In Jingzhou, everyone knows the name of Kongming. Unfortunately, I can't work with Kong Ming. "
Zhuge Liang's eyes shrink. If Gu Yong's words, he is even more suspected of provoking Liu Biao.
However, Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "under Liu Jingzhou, there are Mr. Kuai Yue, general Cai Mao, and other capable men and scholars to assist. There is no shortage of Zhuge Liang. On the contrary, it's under my command that I'm in charge and can show my strong points. I am a greedy man. Only my Lord can accommodate me. If I work for Liu Jingzhou, I will not harm Liu Jingzhou. "
Gu Yong was surprised at Zhuge Liang's reply. Although Zhuge Liang is young, it is not simple. Through some self abasement, he digs away from this topic.
Liu Bei is also aware that there is provocation in Gu Yong's words. He takes the initiative to take the talk and talks with Liu Biao.
As they talked and laughed, time passed unconsciously.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the mighty sound of horses came from far and near.
The sound of horse's hooves was very rapid, and the hooves of war horses trampled on the ground. The sound of the ground shaking, mighty. With the horses running fast, the ground is full of smoke and dust.
Liu Bei and Liu Biao are staring at the distance. In their eyes, they are shocked.
Here comes Zhang Xiu!
