After all, if Cao Cao had no intention of taking over Jingzhou for a while, he would really not be able to cooperate with him.

If we say that the heads of these Jingzhou family members are more cunning than the other, they can discuss them well in other aspects, but none of them dare to joke about the rise and fall of their own family. So there are pros and cons. Although Cao Cao and Yanzhou Army thought they were doing well, they were the best plan to enter Hanzhong and seize Fangling. However, it still affected some other things.

At least some people have started to wait and see again. After all, the current situation in Jingzhou is indeed not clear, so no one dares to take action rashly, for fear that they will fall into a place of doom. As for the head of the family, they can be said to be unspeakable to their entire family. For the sake of their own family, as long as they are beneficial to their family, they may do anything. Don’t doubt this, they are like this.

Cao Cao led his troops to Hanzhong, which changed again, and everyone felt that it was in vain.

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

The local forces in Jingzhou, especially those from the aristocratic families in Nanjun, were the first to receive news that Cao Cao changed his way to attack Hanzhong, so some of them had temporarily changed their attitudes and were not prepared to take action easily in this unclear situation.

But Ma Chao was the second person to know that Cao Cao led his troops out of Xiangyang to attack Hanzhong. To be honest, he was indeed surprised by the news. After all, Cao Cao did not play according to common sense. This was indeed something he had never expected. In fact, it cannot be said that it was himself, it should be said that no one could have thought of it.

Ma Chao was also worried about the war in Hanzhong. After all, if Cao Cao really attacked with all his strength, Zhang Ji was not necessarily his opponent. After all, Xun You and Cheng Yu under Cao Cao's sect were more cunning than the other. The experience was definitely much richer than Zhang Ji. However, Ma Chao believed that even if Zhang Ji was not an opponent of Yanzhou Army, at least one thing would be fine, that is, he could definitely delay Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army. So it would be fine if Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army did not go deeper, otherwise he would have to suffer a loss under Zhang Ji's men.

This is indeed because Ma Chao has some confidence in Zhang Ji. After all, Zhang is not an ordinary person, and this person is still very powerful.

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

Liu Bei from Lingling was the third one to know the news. For him, Cao Cao led his troops to leave Xiangyang and went to Hanzhong. This made him happy. Why did he say that? It was naturally because Cao Cao went to other places without attacking Jiangling, but to attack Ma Mengqi's territory, so Liu Bei was happy in this place.

As for the worries, Cao Cao did not attack Jiangling, but went to Hanzhong and attacked Fangling. For Liu Bei, he was the least willing to see others grow and grow, especially Cao Cao, an old opponent. It can be said that Liu Bei never felt that he was worse than Cao Cao, but he had to admit that he was indeed stronger than himself, with more soldiers and more generals and greater power. Whether you admit this or not, it is all the facts in front of you.

So in Liu Bei's view, since Cao Cao dared to lead his troops to attack Fangling in Hanzhong, he must have a complete plan to seize the city. As Cao Cao's power grew, this was naturally not what he wanted to see. What Liu Bei hoped most was that Cao Cao could fight in Hanzhong and fight to the death with the Liangzhou army. Both sides fought to the death, which would be better, and that would be more beneficial to him. But he didn't know whether what he thought could be realized.

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

Because of the distance, Sun Ce was the last one to learn about the latest developments of Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army in Guiyang.

When Zhou Yu learned that Cao Cao had led his troops into Hanzhong, he had to admit that Cao Cao had done well. There were indeed capable people under the Yanzhou army. It can be said that this was a masterpiece, absolutely.

Sun Ce asked in confusion, "I don't know what is the benefit of Gongjin thinking that Cao Mengde is like this?"

After all, if you ask Sun Ce to lead his troops to fight and fight on the battlefield, there is nothing to say. But if you want to talk about the things in strategy, tactics, strategy and tricks, he is indeed not as much as Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, "My lord, please think about it now..."

Then, Zhou Yu told his lord about the benefits of Cao Cao's entry into Hanzhong. When Sun Ce heard this, he was indeed good. I guess if it were him, he would have to do this.

Zhou Yu also made it clear that no matter what the war in Hanzhong ended up, Fangling must be the treasure of Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army. And Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army opened the door to the eastern part of Hanzhong.

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

These are the reactions of the various parties in Jingzhou to Cao Cao's actions. Although they are different, one thing is the same, that is, they are all surprised by what Cao Cao did. It has to be said that Xun You came up with this idea to surprise people from all over the world, and even the world. After all, this is not something that everyone can predict, so how can you not be surprised?

Liu Bei was indeed full of energy in Lingling Quanling City. For him, it was easy for him to seize Quanling. Indeed, it was because someone helped him, but if he thought about it carefully, he was like this. If he could defect to him, then this was the happiest thing. And Deng Yi wouldn't say it for now, but Liu Ba and Liu Zichu were famous scholars in Jingxiang. If such famous scholars defected, no matter what, it would be good for him.

Think about it, once upon a time, I never took the initiative to join me, but through my own management, more and more people have come to join me. Isn’t this just increasing my strength? Is there anything better to say that there is nothing better? In Liu Bei’s opinion, this shows that my wings are gradually becoming fuller.

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

On this day, all Liu Bei's subordinates were in the living room of the prefect's mansion, and even Liu Ba and Deng Yi who had just joined him were present.

At this time, Liu Bei shouted to the soldiers outside, "Come on, bring Cai Mao!"

The soldiers quickly agreed to the promise, and within a short while, they brought Cai Mao over.

Cai Mao was tied up in many ways, and it seems that he has not been very good these days. After all, he was so arrogant at the beginning, but now he is just a prisoner, and he is also the prisoner of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, whom he despises the most.

Liu Bei looked at Cai Mao, and he had to feel a lot of emotion. After all, what was Cai Mao like at the beginning? When he saw him, he had nostrils facing him and disdained him. In the end, he even sent someone to intercept him twice, but fortunately he was fine. But now, looking at him again, he was no longer like before. As the saying goes, "Ten years of Hedong, Ten years of Hexi", "Feng Shui has changed", and now he has arrived at my house.

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

At this moment, Cai Mao was indeed unwilling to give up and was embarrassed, and there were some other complicated emotions.

He had to admit that it was the most ironic thing he had in his life that he had been despised by Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, whom he looked down upon the most, and became his prisoner. Liu Xuande, who had once despised himself, now has some power and a considerable strength, and even he was controlled by others.

Cai Mao didn't say anything at this time, as if he had already known his fate, but Liu Bei smiled at him, "Cai Mao, how do you think I should deal with you?"

When Cai Mao heard this, he thought to himself, could Liu Xuande let me go? But is this possible? If it were Liu Xuande, he would never do this. However, Liu Xuande is a hypocrite, and it seems that it is not impossible to do that.

I have to say that in just a moment, Cai Mao thought a lot. In fact, who lives well and hopes to die, and Cai Mao is even more so. After all, even if he has no rights, he can still live a life of luxury in Jingzhou. But can Liu Bei really let him go easily?

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

Seeing that Cai Mao had no words and didn't know what he was thinking there, Liu Bei smiled again and said, "Cai Mao, don't you want to live anymore, are you determined to die?"

When Cai Mao heard this, he quickly said, "Ah? No, no! Liu Xuande, are you willing to let me go?"

Looking at Liu Bei's expression at this moment, Cai Mao didn't know what, he felt...
