Given Liu Biao's words, it would be inappropriate for Liu Bei to refuse again.

Remembering that the three thousand newly recruited soldiers were still in Xiangyang, he felt that they would only be considered his own if they were sent to Wancheng, so he clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to my trustworthy brother, I am willing to assist Huang Taishou as a governor. I wonder when will my brother plan to send troops?"

Liu Biao thought for a while and replied: "Jiangxia has a shortage of warships. We need to transfer some from Xiangyang. In addition, we need to prepare relevant military supplies. It is estimated that it will take nearly a month."

"In that case, I'm planning to go back to Wancheng, and I plan to ask Yun Chang and Yide to meet the two ladies by the way."

Liu Biao's invitation just now cannot be refused, and Liu Bei's answer now is still irresistible.

It was easy to prevaricate military and political issues, but it was understandable that he asked to go back to see his wife.

Liu Bei is over forty years old and has no heirs. He has not returned home for more than half a year since he came out. Liu Biao cannot keep Liu Bei in Xiangyang, let alone prevent him from continuing his bloodline.

"There is still plenty of time, Xuande can just leave."

Liu Biao couldn't push him, so he agreed and was worried that Liu Ye would go back with him, so he added: "Qi'er has made great progress recently. I heard that Ziyang's family is not in Jingzhou, so he won't go with Xuande, right?"

"Well, since the eldest young master can't live without us, let Zi Yang continue to stay."

If he had put it aside before, he would have hesitated, but Liu Bei had gained a new military advisor last night, Xu Shu, so he didn't have to worry about having no one around to discuss countermeasures, so he agreed very generously.

After leaving the governor's mansion and returning to the post house, Liu Ye saw that Liu Bei looked wrong, so he jokingly asked: "Is it possible that Liu Jingzhou refused to let you go?"

"Things are more complicated"

Liu Bei frowned and shook his head slightly, telling Liu Ye exactly what he had talked with Liu Biao in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Liu Ye also frowned and tugged his beard and analyzed: "This year Sun Quan and Cao Cao fought in Huainan. Liu Jingsheng didn't even think about sending troops to take revenge. Now that the war has ended more than two months ago, he suddenly has plans to use force. Among them

There must be some villain who instigates it."

"Zi Yang is talking about Cai Mao and Kuai Yue?"

"It is inevitable for Cai and Kuai to send messages, but once a war breaks out between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the only beneficiary will be Cao Cao, so this has nothing to do with Xu Du."

"hiss"

Liu Bei took a deep breath: "Listening to Ziyang's analysis, I feel chills on my back, but why did you take me with you?"

Liu Ye shook his head slightly: "In short, it's nothing good. Although Sun Ce died young, Zhou Yu is still there in Jiangdong. Huang Zu may not be sure of victory. I'm worried that Cai Hao will use Jiangdong's sword to do harm to the emperor."

"Coco, I have already agreed."

Liu Bei was frightened at this time. He originally used the excuse that he was not good at water warfare, but Liu Biao said that Huang Zu was good at water warfare, but was inferior in land combat, so after landing in Yuzhang, Liu Bei needed to be there to give him some advice.

"Don't be impatient. I promise to promise. After all, I haven't set off yet. Let me think about it carefully."

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he stood up and paced around. After a while, he said seriously: "I have been living in Xiangyang during this period and have some understanding of Jingzhou's civil and military affairs. Although Huang Zu is Liu Jingsheng's confidant, his relationship with Cai Mao is relatively tense. Huang Zu must not

I will listen to Cai Mao's instructions, and as long as Liu Jingsheng doesn't have murderous intentions towards the envoy, this trip may not be so bad."

Liu Bei shook his head: "I can feel Brother Jing Sheng's fear, but to say that he has evil intentions towards me, it shouldn't be enough."

"It's hard to think of a way to escape when you are in a hurry. Xu Yuanzhi is not as talented as me, so you can ask him for advice again. Anyway, you go back to Wancheng first and tell General Guan not to be impatient. It is not a good thing to anger Cao Cao too much. I will try

Let the eldest son help me, and maybe I can get the envoy to leave."

Seeing that Liu Ye didn't have any good ideas, Liu Bei sighed and said, "Well, if Ziyang's family is in Wancheng, they might be able to leave this time. Do you want to find a way to take them over?"

"No need, they are safe in Hefei, hiss."

Liu Ye was suddenly excited and said to Liu Bei whimsically: "If we can really follow Huang Zu to attack Yuzhang, we will have a good chance of contacting Hefei. In the past year, due to the barrier of Guanshan, there has been no definite news about Hefei. I really miss the time I had with Yun Qi.

, Zijing said at night, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures. "

"Yuzhang is quite far away from Hefei. It's not easy to contact them. Moreover, the Jiangdong Navy is very powerful and will block the Yangtze River."

Liu Bei did not continue at the end, but Liu Ye smiled happily and said: "You can't go by water or by land. I heard that Cao Cao emptied the Lujiang River after the war. As long as he drops a few scouts in the north of Penglize during the attack on Yuzhang, Zhou Yu will be able to use the waterway."

It cannot be sealed."

"I'm not familiar with the terrain of Huainan"

When Liu Bei frowned and shook his head, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Fei had written a Huainan song. When he was about to add more, Liu Ye suddenly took over the topic.

"If that doesn't work, why don't you let me go on the expedition on your behalf? Anyway, Liu Jingsheng only needs a military counselor. This way, you don't have to go to Yuzhang to show your face, and you won't offend Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. You can also find a way to get in touch with Hefei."

"It's impossible." Liu Bei refused decisively: "When we fight together, there will be dangers everywhere. How can Bei trap Ziyang in danger?"

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Do you think that I have no strength to tie a chicken? Not only Xu Yuanzhi is good at swordsmanship, but I also knew a lot about bow and horse in Huainan. There is no problem in protecting myself on the battlefield. If you are really worried, you can

Let Uncle Zhi accompany me."

"But."

Liu Ye interrupted Liu Bei: "Sir, don't refuse in a hurry. Why don't you discuss it carefully with Yuan Zhi? Also listen to our military advisor's opinion."

"Okay, I will discuss it with Yuan Zhi."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Liu Ye and reminded him sternly: "While we are away, please don't make any arbitrary decisions. The eldest son should listen to you, but don't let him give advice to Brother Jing Sheng. It will be easy to guess that.

you."

"I can spare it." Liu Ye nodded slightly.

After Liu Bei and Liu Ye finished explaining, they took Xu Shu and his mother to Wancheng.

When he was camping halfway to rest, Liu Bei called Xu Shu to a secluded place and told Liu Biao that he wanted to send troops to Jiangdong. Liu Ye proposed to go on his behalf, as well as the whole story about Hefei.

Xu Shu didn't change his expression after hearing the first part, but he was stunned when he learned that the famous Hefei Longxiang was actually Liu Bei's man.

I knew that the emperor's uncle had a secret, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

With such a large back-up force left behind Cao Cao, it seemed that the emperor's uncle had great hope in competing in the Central Plains, and he finally had the opportunity to show off his talents.

Seeing Xu Shu stunned on the spot, Liu Bei reminded him in a deep voice: "The matter in Hefei must be kept secret. Very few people under my command know the truth. If it is leaked, it will not be good for me or Yun Qi."

"I know the importance. General Long is of great use." Xu Shu nodded solemnly.

Liu Bei asked: "What do you say about Ziyang? Although Yunqi is guarding Jiangdong for me, I don't want to be their enemy at the moment. Regardless of Yuzhang's future victory or defeat, I only hope that Ziyang is safe and sound."

Xu Shu twirled his beard and thought for a while: "I think it is feasible. Now Liu Biao and Cai Mao keep Ziyang in Xiangyang because they are worried that he will provide advice to the lord. If he does not make any achievements under Huang Zu's account, maybe they can weaken their wariness.
