In Nanyang, Liu Bei led his troops to Xiangyang in Nanjun directly. For him, Zhuge Liang's words were indeed better than imperial edicts. Because imperial edicts could not immediately become more powerful, more powerful, and able to realize his ideals. But Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu could do it. He not only believed in his own vision, but also believed in what he saw in these days.

Liu Bei took Wen Chou, Tai Shi Ci, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Xu Shu, and five people to Xiangyang. Zhuge Liang, Jian Yong and Sun Gan, and they stayed in Xinye. At least for Liu Bei today, Xinye must not be able to give up easily. Zhuge Liang also thought so. Xinye could not give up, at least he could not make any mistakes now.

After Liu Bei led his troops away, Zhuge Liang welcomed the man who came far away to join his lord. This man was from Nanyang County, Jingzhou, with the surname Chen and his courtesy name Xiaoqi. Chen Zhen used to work under the tent of Yuan Shao and Jizhou Army, but I have to say that others had good vision. When he met Liu Bei, he felt that Liu Xuande was definitely a more wise man than him. It was a pity that when he met Liu Bei, he had already followed Yuan Benchu, so he and Liu Bei felt that they met too late.

After Liu Bei left Hebei, Chen Zhen knew that Liu Xuande was definitely not a person in the pool. Perhaps as long as he had the chance, he would soar into the sky sooner or later. To be honest, he was not optimistic. He did not think that Yuan Shao would be Cao Cao's opponent. As a result, he felt good. The Jizhou army later retreated step by step, and even Yuan Shao died in Ganling City.

During Yuan Shao, Chen Zhen knew that it was time for him to make a choice, either to retreat to the mountains or to follow one of his lord's three sons. He either defected to Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army or Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, or to join other princes. However, he thought about it and was Liu Xuande, who was the wise ruler he wanted to follow. He also heard that he was now in Xinye, Nanyang County, his hometown, so it was time for him to go back and take a look.

In this way, when Shen Bu protected Yuan Shang and retreated from Qinghe to Bohai with Jizhou soldiers, Chen Zhen took the opportunity to leave the Jizhou army and rushed directly to Xinye in Nanyang County. However, he was not lucky. As soon as Liu Bei left, he came, so he could not see Liu Bei at all. But I have to say that Zhuge Liang and Jian Yong, Sun Gan and others were indeed treated with courtesy to Chen Zhen, and he was very good to him.

Although Zhuge Liang did not know Chen Zhen, Jian Yong and Sun Gan knew him, and the few of them were quite familiar with him. So even if Zhuge Liang didn’t know him before, he became more familiar with Chen Zhen after saying a few words. Chen Zhen obviously admired Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang was young, he was definitely a talented person and he was not as good as others.

Zhuge Liang also asked Chen Zhen about some of the wars in Jizhou, but when Chen Zhen left, the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army had not done anything, so he didn't know what happened later. He just knew that after his lord died, Shen Pei led the Jizhou army to retreat. That's all. Although Zhuge Liang did not know the news he wanted most from Chen Zhen, this was good. At least some of the details were not something that the scout could detect.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for Liu Bei, he brought 50,000 troops outside Xiangyang City. For him, these 50,000 troops were indeed quite a lot. In this way, Zhuge Liang and the others worked a lot to pull out so many people. And he was planning to use these 50,000 troops to take Jingzhou. Of course, this is indeed a lot of pressure. After all, the people, infantry, cavalry and navy in Jingzhou all exceeded 200,000, so...

It was time to say that he came. When he was about to arrive in Xiangyang, news of Liu Biao's death came. Of course, Liu Biao died of illness early, but when it reached Xiangyang, it would have to delay some time. So when Liu Bei arrived, he received the specific news.

But what made him angry was that Cai Mao took out Liu Biao's suicide note and finally wrote that he would let his second son Liu Cong inherit everything. Liu Bei could tell his toes to meet him. Isn't this what Cai and Cai Mao and others did? But he had no choice but to follow Zhuge Liang's words, he would raise the banner of Liu Qi, let the eldest son succeed to the throne, support Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou, and then lead troops straight to Xiangyang.

If you want to say why Liu Bei didn't show his own banner and said that Liu Biao gave him the position of Muslim in Jingzhou. Of course, this is impossible. Although Liu Biao said this in person, do you have any evidence to prove that Liu Biao said this, and now that others are gone, isn't this a death without evidence? Although Liu Bei has a seal from the governor in his hand, to be honest, at this time, those things will not play any role at all.

As long as you take it out, Cai Mao and the others can say that you stole it, so what else can you do? The key is that you have no evidence that your provincial governor seal was handed to you by Liu Biao, so this matter is simply not easy to deal with.

So Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei the idea that as soon as he heard the news of Liu Biao's death, he would come out with Liu Qi's banner. As for Liu Qi, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already communicated with him, and Xinye and Jiangxia had always had letters, so Liu Bei had already made an agreement with Liu Qi. As long as things change, he would have to borrow his banner to do things, and Liu Qi naturally agreed. No matter what, his uncle and Zhuge Liang had helped him a lot.

And to be honest, I would rather let Jingzhou belong to my uncle than let Cai Mao give it to others, especially Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, so I would rather be used and recognize it. As long as Jingzhou does not fall into the hands of Cai Mao and Cao Mengde in the end. This is actually Liu Qi's idea, because he knew that Cai Mao, the most cruel person in his father's life, and then he looked down on Cao Cao. Even Ma Chao, his father did not hate it so much.

So, in this way, Liu Bei took the banner of Liu Qi and advanced to Xiangyang.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, Liu Bei also knew that it might be difficult to take Jingzhou with 50,000 troops, but now he can only come up with such troops, so there is no other way. At this time, he had to rely on Xu Shu, the adviser to give advice. He knew that the biggest difference between himself and before was actually a real military advisor. So no matter how hard he said, he was stronger than before, and he absolutely believed in this, that's it.

Liu Bei's army was stationed outside Xiangyang City, and the one who is stationed in Xiangyang City is the general Wen Pin who was previously recalled by Liu Biao from Xinye. In comparison, he is indeed a relatively young general because he is not yet in his thirties. However, although he is not very old, he has to admit it. His experience is definitely the best in the Jingzhou Army. Almost everyone recognizes this from top to bottom. And you can tell that Liu Biao had him stationed in Xinye before.

If Wenpin had no ability, could Liu Biao let him stay in Xinye? More importantly, Wenpin definitely does not belong to Cai Mao's side. If you really count it, he is actually Liu Biao's person. Although he cannot be said to be a confidant, he is definitely not from Cai Mao's side. But he is more loyal to Liu Biao, after all, Liu Biao is the governor of Jingzhou and he is the lord.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wen Pin looked at Liu Bei's men outside the city, and he nodded secretly. Because there were experts in Liu Bei's army, looking at the camp arrangement, it was definitely not something that ordinary generals could arrange. Both attack and defense can be used, either advance or retreat. If you go to steal the camp and rob the village, it is very good. As long as the opponent uses a few troops, you can stare at you, and you may return in vain and even fall into someone's plan.

At this time, Liu Bei was discussing with Xu Shu and Taishi Ci in the Central Army’s tent, what they would do next. As for Wen Chou, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, to be honest, Liu Bei didn’t expect the three of them to think of anything. After all, to put it bluntly, these three people were actually brave generals, and they almost had no strategy, so they couldn’t expect anything to them at all.

At this time, Liu Bei asked, "Yuan Zhi, I wonder how our army should do it now?"

Xu Shu smiled, "Lord, I heard that Wenpin is not Cai Mao's person, and he is quite loyal to Liu Jingsheng, so I wonder if our army can start from this aspect?"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and he had to admit that what Xu Shu said was indeed very reasonable. Even he knew that Wenpin was definitely a rare person, not a member of Cai Mao's party, and he was quite loyal to Liu Biao. But even so, could he easily convince the person to surrender? It's not that he has no confidence in this, but where does this confidence come from? Anyway, he really can't see it, but since Xu Shu said that, there must be a way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, Liu Bei, after listening to Xu Shu's words, thought for a while, then said, "I don't know what Yuan Zhi meant? Could it be that he wanted to persuade Wenpin Wen Zhongye?"

In Liu Bei's opinion, although he had a relationship with Wenpin in Xinye, and the two got along well at that time, it was just a good thing, and what else could it mean? Wenpin Wen Zhongye thought that he was a character, so he became interested in making friends. But just because others looked down on you, you felt that they would definitely be able to rely on you. Liu Bei didn't feel that he was so charming and could make people like this. If he really had that ability, he wouldn't be like this today.

Look at how many people you have under me now, you can actually count them with just two palms. But of course, this is indeed related to your lack of power and strength, and this is not wrong. If I had such a great force as Cao Mengde or Ma Mengqi, then my subordinates would definitely not be less than the two of them. I still believe in this and I have confidence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hearing what his lord said, Xu Shu first nodded with a smile, but then shook his head.

This made Liu Bei confused. Yes, Yuan Zhi nodded first and then shook his head. Why is this? He really didn't understand.

"I don't know what Yuan Zhi means, what does this mean?"

"Lord, in fact, this is not necessarily the case. Wenpeng is the one who just needs to..."

After hearing what Xu Shu said, Liu Bei was completely in vain this time. It turned out that this was the case. He thought it was too simple. At least Xu Shu thought it was more complicated than him, and he thought it much more. At least he only thought about Wen Pin. But he forgot why Zhuge Kongming had to do this, and this time he understood that what Kong Ming did might play the role it deserves now.

Liu Bei kept nodding. Finally, after Xu Shu finished speaking, he was afraid of the table. "Okay. I see everything, according to what Yuan Zhi said!"

Xu Shuze said: "My lord, it's not time to do this, so I hope my lord can do it earlier!"

"Yes, I'll teach Ziyi about this! Ziyi, what do you think?"

"No! The lord has his own orders, and his subordinates must obey it!"

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction. Although Wen Chou had higher martial arts skills, he still handed over this matter to Taishi Ci. After all, Taishi Ci has followed him for more than ten years and can be said to be the oldest one, so Liu Bei thought of him the first thing he did about this matter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wen Pin looked at Liu Bei's army's camp. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and he finished reading it. Today, the other party obviously would not attack, so he would not be on the head of Xiangyang City all the time, so he was about to go back.

Before leaving, he said to a general at the city head: "Wen Chang, I will hand it over to you first. Be careful of everything!"

"No! General Wen, don't worry!"

Wen Pin nodded, and he sighed in his heart. If he were in the Jingzhou army, this person's martial arts were definitely one of the best, and he was even higher than himself. It was a pity that because he was not from Cai Mao, he could only guard the city gate in Xiangyang.

Seeing Wen Pin walking down the city wall, Wen Pin called Wen Chang's general. At this time, he felt very unhappy and dissatisfied. He was also from Jingzhou, from Yiyang, with the surname Wei name Yan and Wen Chang. He was handsome, had a face like a heavy date and a starry-eyed look. In fact, his appearance was a bit like Guan Yu and Guan Yun Chang. But he was just like some places. In fact, he knew that they belonged to two people.

To be honest, Wei Yan felt that he was not appreciated. First of all, his martial arts skills can be said to be the second most in the Jingzhou army, but he cannot be the first, because some people have higher martial arts skills than him. Besides, he is not boasting about his skills, but his skills are among the best in the Jingzhou army. Let’s talk about Wenpin who came down from the city, at least he thinks he is better than him. But what is going on now? Now he is the chief general, and he is just a guardian of the city gate.

So Wei Yan was unwilling to give up, and was particularly unwilling to give up. For him, if he had no ability, then he could become a guardian of the city gate, then he would admit it, right, what else would he be dissatisfied? But Wenpin is not as capable as himself, but because he has been in the Jingzhou Army for many years, he is the chief general of Xiangyang City, and he is just a guardian of the city gate. So can he still be willing to do this? He thinks that as long as he is a person, he will not be willing to do so in this situation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we say that Wei Yan's current idea is, but in his opinion, his chance should have come. Why do we say that? It is because Liu Bei and Liu Xuande's army besieged Xiangyang City, so his chance has come.

Who is Liu Xuande? He is the uncle of the Han Dynasty and a relative of the Han Dynasty. Although he is not very powerful among the princes in the world, it doesn’t matter, because he believes that he will not read it wrong. He is definitely not a person in the pool, and he will surely soar into the sky sooner or later, but he has never had any chance. But now that Liu Biao is dead, isn’t this a great opportunity? As long as he can grasp it, Jingzhou may become his own pocket.

Wei Yan remembered again that when he was most unwilling to accept it, he received a letter from Liu Bei and his military advisor Zhuge Liang, and also allowed the soldiers to bring him a lot of money from Xinye. To be honest, Wei Yan's life was not very good. Although he was a guarding the city gate, the food and salary were not enough for him. Therefore, the money and money brought by Liu Bei to the soldiers was like a timely help for him, so he was indeed grateful to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for his goodness.

So he always thought about when he could repay them, so this is not... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
