Chapter 207

In the middle of November, the weather in Xiangyang was already quite cold.

Liu Xiu got up early in the morning. After morning exercise and breakfast, he went to see Liu Biao in his study. This time I stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, but I have already delayed my return.

Taking Zhao Yun temporarily alienates the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, and digs a hole for Liu Bei to jump in.

When it's done, it's time to go south.

In the study, Liu Xiu explained his intention to go south and said, "my son can't be filial to his father. Please don't work too hard and take care of himself."

Liu Biao wrapped his cloak tightly and said with a smile, "you have outstanding ability. You don't have to worry about being a father. My father is waiting for you to take Yuzhang county. At that time, you are the eunuch of Yuzhang county

For Yuzhang County, Liu Biao is also very greedy.

Jingzhou in the hands of Liu Biao, although peaceful, but never expansion.

On the contrary, it is Jiang Dong who constantly provokes.

Now Liu Xiu is actively planning Yuzhang County, and Liu Biao has 100% support. He expects Liu Xiu to give him a satisfactory answer.

Liu Xiuse said: "please rest assured father, son will take Yuzhang county."

"Go

Liu Biao waved and his eyes were full of admiration.

With the rise of Liu Xiu, Liu Biao is more and more satisfied with his son. Liu Biao's impression of Liu Xiu gradually changed because he didn't seek power or fight for power, and he didn't take part in the struggle for his son.

Of course, the foundation of everything is based on Liu Xiu's outstanding ability to win Yuzhang county.

Liu Xiu stepped down respectfully and went to the backyard to see CAI.

Although Liu Xiu didn't like Cai very much, CAI was his nominal mother. Liu Xiu couldn't let outsiders pick on him. He said something to CAI and left with Huang Hu and the accompanying soldiers.

Just out of the prefecture, Zhao Yun has been waiting.

Liu Xiu saw Zhao Yun, with a smile on his face, and said, "Zilong, did the Pang merchants find Xuande Gong?"

Zhao Yun said: "when the cloud came, the Pang family had already arrived."

"Good, let's go!"

Liu Xiu no longer asked, but took Huang Hu and Zhao Yun on his way.

They soon left the city and went straight south.

Xiangyang City, inn.

After Liu Bei made an agreement with the Pang merchant, the merchant left the inn first. Liu Bei shouts Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They leave the house and gallop away. On the way out of the city, Guan Yu had a dignified expression and said, "this time, for the sake of 100000 stone grain, let Zilong go to you county. The news came back to Xinye. I don't know what the military division's reaction was. "

Liu Bei said: "second younger brother, this is a disgrace. It's a disgrace that I have worked hard to remember. This time, I will remember the shame. When we are strong in the future, we must give it back to Liu Xiu. "

Zhang Fei hated Liu Xiu even more. He clenched his fist and said, "yes, I must give it back to Liu Xiu. In the future, we must severely humiliate Liu Xiu. "

Guan Yu said: "Liu Xiu is hateful, but he is extremely cunning. This time I took Zilong to you county. I don't know what will happen in these three months. "

Liu Bei said: "no matter what, it can't be stopped. Now that it happened, don't think about the consequences. What we have to do now is train the soldiers. "

The three brothers are worried, and then quickly to Xinye.

Entering Xinye, Liu Bei is eager to return.

This is his foundation. Back here, I feel comfortable all over. Arriving at the gate of the camp, Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang at the gate of the camp. Zhuge Liang looked around and didn't find Zhao Yun. He looked serious and said, "Lord, there are rumors everywhere in Xinye that the Lord sold Zhao Yun for 100000 stone grain. So, what's going on? "

Zhuge Liang didn't know the specific news for the time being. However, Zhuge Liang concluded that there must be something fishy about it. Liu Bei could not sell Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei's face turned black.

Eyes, full of anger.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu was treacherous and dug a hole.

Zhao Yun followed Liu Xiu to the south, but Liu Xiu publicized it. The news will have a great impact on Liu Bei's prestige. In the hearts of the people and soldiers in Xinye, Liu Bei loved the people like a son, respected the soldiers, and was a rare master. Liu Bei now sells Zhao Yun for food, which makes countless people and soldiers confused.

Is this Liu Bei who used to be?

When the soldiers on patrol saw Liu Bei standing at the gate of the camp, their eyes were strange.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's heart sank.

The joy of arriving at the camp dissipated.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "Kong Ming, let's go back to camp."

Zhuge Liang nodded. Seeing Liu Bei's dignified face, he sighed in his heart. This time, he fell into Liu Xiu's calculation again. I wanted to make an alliance with Liu Xiu, but it seems that I've got a big deal with the Chinese army.

Zhuge Liang's eyes fell on Liu Bei.Liu Bei said slowly: "during my stay in Xiangyang, I went to see Liu Biao first. Although Liu Biao said that he supported it, he said that it was not easy for Jingzhou and that there was also a shortage of food. Liu Biao said that there are only ten thousand stone grains. "

"Ten thousand stone grain is too little for us. What can we do? Nothing can be done. "

"At that time, Zilong happened to come to Xiangyang and brought the words of the military division to Xiangyang."

"We had a conflict with Liu Xiu. At that time, I considered that it was not smooth to borrow food from Liu Xiu. At the beginning, I did not go to Liu Xiu, but went to Kuai and Cai families, hoping to get their support."

"However, they all shut the door, and the CAI and Kuai families refused to have food."

"I have no choice but to find Liu Xiu."

"Zilong and I went to find Liu Xiu and first proposed to form an alliance with Liu Xiu. But Liu Xiu refused to form an alliance with us. He thought that it was meaningless to form an alliance with us. "

Liu Bei sighed and said, "I can't form an alliance. I can only go back and ask Liu Xiu to borrow food."

"Liu Xiu's reply is that we borrow grain, which is equivalent to borrowing grain but not returning it. When I was going to give up, Liu Xiu offered to give Zilong to Liu Xiu, who would give us 100000 stone grain for free. "

"Zilong is my confidant. He is both civil and military. He is loyal and righteous. How can I agree?"

"On the spot, I refused Liu Xiu's proposal."

Liu Bei continued: "Liu Xiu saw that I refused, and then offered a condition that he needed Zilong to help him train his cavalry. As long as he borrowed it for three months, he could give us 100000 stone grain for free. At that time, before I spoke, Zilong agreed first. "

Speaking of this, Liu Bei said with emotion: "I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Xinye, Liu Xiu had already spread the news and slandered that he had sold the 100000 stone grain that Zilong had bought. Liu Xiu is too cunning and vicious. "

There is a strong hatred in Liu Bei's eyes.

He didn't expect that Liu Xiu's methods were so vicious. It was only because he was dazed by grain.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang could not help sighing, and said: "one hundred thousand stone grain, in exchange for three months of general Zilong, Liu Xiu's great hand. On the one hand, he used 100000 stone grain to alienate the relationship between the Lord and Zilong; on the other hand, he used this event to destroy the image of the Lord and affect the morale of the army and the people. It's too vicious. "

Liu Bei worried, said: "Kong Ming, the matter has come to this point, how to do?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly. After half a sound, his face regained a calm look and said, "in three months, general Zilong will come back. Then he will know that the Lord didn't betray general Zilong. Therefore, the hearts of the people and the army need not be concerned. As the news subsides, it will soon disappear. "

"The key lies in Zilong's idea and the civil and military generals under the Lord."

"First, summon the civil and military forces in the army, and make it clear that general Zilong's efforts and risks brought about the 100000 stone grain, so as to arouse the common hatred of the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army."

"Second, every ten days, the Lord himself wrote a letter to you county. The Lord relies on letters to contact General Zilong, so as to stabilize general Zilong's heart and let him know that the Lord cares about him. "

Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook twice and said, "in this way, it will certainly eliminate the influence of Liu Xiu."

Liu Bei smelled the speech and finally showed a brilliant smile on his face. Zhuge Liang solved his worries in a few words, which relieved Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei praised: "a military adviser is a military adviser. I admire him."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard under his jaw, showing admiration in his eyes. He praised: "Liu Xiu's ghost trick is not worth mentioning in front of the military strategists."

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed by their praise.

With the support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he can gain a firm foothold under Liu Bei. But Zhuge Liang's heart is still worried, because he can't predict what will happen during Zhao Yun's three months in you county.
