Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Xinye County. Xinye is small in terrain and not dense in population, but it was an extremely important military rush in the Han Dynasty. It is connected to Wan, Luo, and Jing and Xiang in the north, which is the main throat that guards Jingzhou.

Because of Ao Lie's time travel, Liu Bei came to Xinye in advance in the historical process. Since he arrived here, Liu Bei spent all his thoughts on recruiting soldiers. At the same time, Liu Bei was also carefully thinking about some of the rules of Ao Lie's success in Nanyang. The more he thought about it, the more he felt strange. In the short period of time in Nanyang, Ao Lie, in addition to leading his army to attack the Yellow Turban Remnants who were guarding Wancheng, he even cleared out the nearby bandits and bandits, and he had almost no time to rectify his military equipment. However, those tricks that later shocked the world were armed among the soldiers under his command when Ao Lie became the prefect of Nanyang. This problem arises. Where did the weapons used by the elite soldiers of Ao Lie come from?

No matter what happened, he could not help but think about it. Liu Bei was suppressed by Ao Lie and could not raise his head for a long time. He had already held a breath of resentment in his heart and was always looking for Ao Lie's flaws, but the flaws were not found, but Liu Bei found another secret in Ao Lie's heart.

After spending nearly a year collecting and analyzing Ao Lie's whereabouts during his tenure in Nanyang, Liu Bei actually relied on his own ingenuity to find the Guangwu Secret Treasure that Ao Lie had entered. At that time, Ao Lie's strength was not as strong as it is, so he did not have the ability to transport all the things in the Guangwu Secret Treasure at one time, but only transported two-thirds away. Now, Liu Bei found the remaining one-third.

Although only one-third of it, it still made Liu Bei smile. Among the remaining secret treasures of Guangwu, Liu Bei discovered a large number of gold, silver, jewelry and weapons, including several broken tactics and the Luohu Longjiao Gun. These remaining money can help Liu Bei further recruit soldiers and expand his power; those weapons can be equipped in his army, saving Liu Bei a lot of military expenses. At the same time, Liu Bei also invested in allowing craftsmen to restore the broken and abandoned sabers, imitating 500 sabers and equip his own white elite soldiers. As for the dragon sabers, they were ignored by Liu Bei. Because this kind of complex shape and heavy weight is really not suitable for ordinary people.

When the five hundred white lily elite soldiers appeared in front of Liu Bei in a fish-scale iron armor and holding a sabre in their hands, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but flash. Isn't this the early look of the terrifying blood killing army under Ao Lie's command? Not only Liu Bei, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also saw this. The three of them had contact with Ao Lie. Especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because of their good personal relationship with Ao Lie, they knew very well about Ao Lie's blood killing army. They only took a look and concluded that this was the first blood killing army that was originally called the Blood Killing Camp at that time.

Zhang Fei's old subordinates were originally a team of cavalry that Ao Lie gave to Zhang Fei. Those young boys had grown up back then, and many of them had served as cavalry chief or higher positions. Cavalry chief was one of the official positions in the cavalry team of the Han Dynasty, responsible for the 50 cavalry officers. Although they had been away from Youzhou for nearly ten years, Ao Lie still had the figure of Ao Lie. They still refused to call Liu Bei the lord, but called him general. When these people saw the costume of Bai Li's elite soldiers, they all turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee in the north, their faces were covered with tears. Many people were crying and said with emotion: "Blood Kill! This is Blood Kill! Lord, are you okay..."

The reactions of these cavalry officers once again aroused the dissatisfaction in Liu Bei's heart. It has been ten years since then! These people are still unwilling to call themselves the lords as before! Could it be that in their hearts, I, Liu Bei, really can't compare to Ao Lie? If I had not continued to rely on these people in the future, Liu Bei would have been unable to bear it and killed these cavalry officers.

Unlike Liu Bei's reaction, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and even Chen Dao were all infected by the actions of these cavalry officers and sighed. For Ao Lie's orders, these people have been with Zhang Fei for almost ten years. In the past ten years, these people have experienced fierce battles, and the number has dropped sharply from the first one thousand to more than 400 now. However, none of them feel resentful. As long as Liu Bei's orders are not involved in Ao Lie, they will carry out 100% with all their hearts, and follow Zhang Fei without avoiding life and death, charging for Liu Bei. They are respectable and admirable. Now seeing the same outfit as the former master's personal guards, they are inevitably fluctuating in their hearts. After ten years, they do not forget the former master, which is a feeling worthy of approval.

After observing the expressions of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others in secret, Liu Bei had already guessed their thoughts, and his hatred for Ao Lie became deeper. In order to consolidate his position in the hearts of the generals, Liu Bei rewarded the cavalry officers from Youzhou against his will, allowing them to continue to fight with Zhang Fei. At the same time, Liu Bei prepared a mixed army of cavalry and infantry, with a number of about 3,000. After equipping with the weapons and equipment in the secret treasure of Guangwu, he handed them over to the commander of Guan Yu. As for Bai Li's elite soldiers, they were still the leader of Liu Bei's personal guard, You Chen Dao.

With the money and military in one third of the secret treasure of Guangwu, Liu Bei quickly armed an army of 10,000 people. In addition to Zhang Fei's three thousand cavalry, Guan Yu's three thousand cavalry and Chen Dao's five hundred Baili elite soldiers, Liu Bei handed them over to the hands of generals and officers at all levels. To this day, the strength of Liu Bei's command finally reached tens of thousands, which made Liu Guan and Zhang's three thousand brothers very happy. This situation was beyond Ao Lie's expectations. He never expected that Liu Bei would find the remaining secret treasure of Guangwu. From this moment on, Liu Bei had gradually escaped from Ao Lie's control, and the situation had undergone a subtle deflection.

Some people were happy and some were worried. While Liu Bei was expanding his army in large numbers, Liu Biao in Xiangyang could not sit still. Liu Biao was still wary of Liu Bei. He heard that Liu Bei had expanded his army in large numbers and gathered tens of thousands of troops in tens of months. Liu Biao couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He didn't know whether Liu Bei's expansion of his army on such a large scale was to help him resist Cao Cao, or to be ready to go south and seize his Jingzhou. Moreover, Liu Bei became rich overnight, which made Liu Biao quite puzzled.

Under many questions, Liu Biao summoned several important military generals and counselors under his command to discuss the expansion of Liu Bei's army. As the naval commander under Liu Biao and Liu Biao's wife's brother, Cai Mao was the first to express his opinion. He believed that Liu Bei was a disaster and would take cholera wherever he went. For example, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and others encountered a fierce battle after accepting Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan was lucky to be rescued by Ao Lie, but Tao Qian was angry to death by Cao Cao. As the saying goes, the lesson of the past and the army of the later chariots. Therefore, Cai Mao advocated that Liu Bei's momentum must be curbed, and it would be best to drive him out of Jingzhou. Cai Mao's proposal was approved by Zhang Yun and other military generals.

Liu Biao's chief adviser Kuai Yue and the brothers Kuai Liang put forward different opinions. They believed that Liu Bei was a famous scholar in the world and his reputation of benevolence spread all over the world. If Liu Bei was driven out of Jingzhou, it would probably cause more people to be dissatisfied. It would be better to let Liu Bei guard Xinye as the first line of defense to resist Cao Cao. However, the root cause of Liu Bei's sudden wealth must be clearly found out, and to hold Liu Bei's economic lifeline in his own hands and restrain Liu Bei. He could no longer let Liu Bei continue to expand his army, otherwise the threat to Xiangyang would be too great.

After Huang Zu's death, the one who succeeded Huang Zu as the prefect of Jiangxia was Liu Pan, Liu Biao's nephew. Liu Pan was a talented man of both civil and military affairs. Liu Biao relied on him very much. When everyone expressed his views, Liu Pan said with some confusion: "Uncle, sir, I wonder if you have found a detail. Ao Lie suddenly became famous when he was the prefect of Nanyang. Now Liu Bei's situation is very similar to Ao Lie at the time! From this, it is inferred that under Xinye's rule, there must be treasures of the previous dynasty that we don't know, and they were discovered by Ao Lie and Liu Bei one after another."

After Liu Pan's reminder, Kuai Liang said: "Yes, I got the news that Liu Bei's personal guards are known as the Baili elite soldiers. These people have white feathers inserted on their helmets. Recently, someone saw this elite soldier wearing fish scale iron armor and holding a saber in his hand, which looked very similar to Ao Lie's blood-killing camp. Liu Bei's personal guards' outfit is so similar to the blood-killing camp at the time, and there must be something strange about it."

Kuai Yue pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "There is an ancient legend left behind. After Emperor Guangwu's revival, he sealed a large amount of money and military in his hometown of Nanyang, so that in the future, the Han Dynasty could revive the Han Dynasty with these secret treasures. Is this legend true? And these secret treasures happened to be in Xinye?"

Listening to everyone's words, Liu Biao's face gradually became gloomy. Although Liu Biao was generous on the surface, he was actually full of suspicion. To put it bluntly, his personality was similar to Yuan Shao. Discovering and using the secret treasure of Guangwu was the only reason why Liu Bei got rich. But what was annoying was that Liu Bei did not reveal any rumors to him, but chose to take these secret treasures alone! This really made Liu Biao's heart full of dissatisfaction.

With a gloomy face, Liu Biao issued a series of orders: "Kuai Liang, send someone to Liu Bei to come to Xiangyang the next day, and say that our mansion misses him very much and wants to gather with him for a day. Kuai Yue, immediately send someone to find out the reason why Liu Bei became rich and repay him within two days! Cai Mao, the next day, you will lead 500 elite soldiers to ambush on both sides of the banquet and lead our mansion to interrogate Liu Bei personally. If he has any false words, you will listen to our mansion throwing a cup and capture him immediately."

Everyone took the order and left, leaving Liu Biao sitting alone in the hall. Liu Biao looked up at the sky and murmured: "Liu Bei, are you a hero or a hero..."
