The four places of Yulin County, Nanhai County, Cangwu County and Hepu County form a new state called Guangzhou, with Panyu City in Nanhai County as the location of the prefecture governor, Zhu Ran as the governor of Guangzhou, Nanhai County, Pan Zhang as the prefect of Yulin, Tan Xiong as the prefect of Cangwu, and Ling** as the prefect of Hepu, each leading 2,500 soldiers to station in the four counties of Guangzhou.

Such a covenant was a joy for Shi Xie. After all, Shi Xie's army was not as combat effectiveness as Sun Quan's army, and they could only compromise. The Shi family could not only retain the glory of the Shi family, but also avoid an unnecessary war.

After the signing of the alliance, Sun Quan released Shiwu, Shiwu and Shihui, and then joined Shi Xie to drink and chat, and wiped out all the previous unhappiness.

At this time, Shiwu realized that Han Gai and Huang Dang were actually the famous Han Dang and Huang Gai under Sun Quan's tent.

The misunderstanding was eliminated, and both Sun and Shi were happy, which was considered to have resolved the dispute peacefully. At the same time, in order to threaten Shi Xie and prevent Shi Xie from resisting, Sun Quan asked Shi Wu, Shi Wei and Shi Hui to go to Wuchang to become officials with him.

Shi Xie understood that this was the key to Shiwu, Shiwu and Shihui, who were hostages, but he had no choice but to agree to Sun Quan's request.

As soon as the matter in Jiaozhou was over, Sun Quan took Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Huan, Shiwu, Shihu, Shihui and others to leave Jiaozhou and return to Wuchang. Before leaving, Sun Quan specifically explained Zhu Ran, asking Zhu Ran to recruit soldiers and train troops in Guangzhou, and continue to implement Shixie's previous policies. Do not change them without authorization, and make Guangzhou a rear base in Jiangdong. In addition, Zhu Ran should set up soldiers at the junction of Guangzhou and Jingzhou to defend themselves to prevent Liu Bei from Jingnan from coveting Jiaozhou.

...

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Liu Biao's envoy returned from Yizhou, but did not bring back the information that Liu Biao wanted. Instead, he was furious because Liu Zhang humiliated the envoy.

At the same time, the envoy sent to Jiangdong also returned. Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Chaisang, stopped the envoy. The envoy did not see Sun Quan at all. Zhou Yu just casually said a few words, neither agreeing to Liu Biao nor denying it.

For Liu Biao, these two news was a bit pessimistic, and made him realize that the human heart was unpredictable. It seemed that he could only rely on himself.

Liu Biao no longer placed hope on foreign aid, but mobilized all the military forces that could be mobilized, summoning Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu and Liu Qi to Xiangyang. The Jingnan army brought by Liu Bei also gathered in the Xiangyang area and was temporarily stationed outside the city.

There were 300,000 soldiers in Jingzhou. These troops were all the wealth accumulated by Liu Biao over the years. Since he drove Yuan Shu from Nanyang to Huainan and occupied Nanyang, Liu Biao has actively participated in the melee in the Central Plains, and has formed alliances with Cao ** and Yuan Shao many times to attack the alliances of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Gongsun Zan, and has achieved some good results.

However, as the conflict between him and Cao ** and Yuan Shao gradually deepened, the alliance collapsed, and his plan to enter the Central Plains was hindered many times. The surname Suo no longer focused on the Central Plains, but focused all his energy on Jingzhou, never easily launched wars, and governed Jingzhou in an orderly manner, and the people lived and worked in peace, especially the Xiangyang area, which became a shelter. Talents from all over the world regarded Jingzhou as the preferred shelter, and the peaceful land of Jingzhou also attracted a lot of foreign population. He took in Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei and others, so that they could use it for them, so that Jingzhou's military strength was also improved as much as possible.

It has to be said that Liu Biao’s actions seem ordinary, but they are very accomplished. However, the serious internal party struggles have become a criticism in Jingzhou, which has even made Liu Biao a headache.

The hall of the provincial governor's mansion was full of people. All the well-known figures in Jingzhou attended the meeting. The governor of Jingzhou Liu Biao sat in the upper seat, looked around the people present, and said loudly: "Today, I call everyone here, for no other reason. Zhang Yan is so rebellious that he usurped the imperial power. As a descendant of the royal family, we must not stand by. Therefore, our mansion decided to launch an army to attack Zhang Yan, clear the emperor's side, rescue His Majesty the Emperor who was played with by Zhang Yan, and bring him to Xiangyang to restore the achievements that the Han Dynasty said in the past."

In the hall, Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, Wang Wei, Cai Zhong, Cai He, Yi Ji, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Sima Yi and others listened carefully and clearly. Everyone was ready to go, as if they were looking forward to this battle with Zhang Yan.

Liu Biao continued: "This time, our prefecture is preparing to advance in three directions. Nanyang Prefect Zhang Xiu led 30,000 troops from Nanyang to attack the former land of Luoyang, the old capital of the Han Dynasty. After occupying Luoyang, he divided his troops to guard various passes and cut off the connection between Zhang Yandong and the west. Furthermore, Jiangxia Prefect Liu Qi led Jiangxia's troops and 30,000 naval troops to go downstream and attack Lujiang, and restrained Zhang Yan's troops from Lujiang. Our prefecture has sent people to notify Sun Quan of Jiangdong.

, I hope they can fight side by side with our dean and deal with Zhang Yan together. I believe that Zhou Yu will definitely send a navy army to attack Lujiang. In addition, our dean personally led Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others to Xiangyang to directly attack Runan County under Zhang Yan, and then went east from Runan County to direct the troops to Pengcheng. If you don’t rescue Your Majesty, you will not return the troops! In addition, Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, you will lead the troops of Jingnan to be responsible for escorting food and grass..."

"I have come to the envoy, when Xuande said that when he was desperate, he was taken in by the envoy and used it to reuse it. Xuande has achieved his achievements today. Like the envoy, Xuande is both descendants of the Han Dynasty. Facing Zhang Yan's behavior, he was deeply saddened and hated Zhang Yan to the core. Although Jingnan has not many troops, Xuande is carefully selected and is also a skillful soldier of a hundred battles. Xuande is willing to lead these soldiers to charge for the envoy and kill the enemy. For the sharp sword in the envoy's hand, he will clarify all the invading enemies. I hope the envoy will be grateful!" Liu Bei suddenly stood up, hugged his fists and said loudly.

After hearing this, Liu Biao said slowly: "It is enough for Xuande to have this idea. Charging in the battle is important, but escorting food and grass is the top priority. There are several powerful generals under Xuande's tent, and with them, we can keep the food and grass safe and sound, so we will feel much more at ease."

Liu Bei was not very clear about why Liu Biao refused his request, so he continued: "I have reported to you that it is precisely because Xuande has several powerful generals under his tent that they should play a role on the front line, Xuande..."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Liu Biao was furious and said sternly: "I have decided to do it. Don't say anything again, otherwise you will be killed!"

After saying this, Liu Biao turned his sleeves away and said loudly: "Ming said that at the time of Chen, all the troops have been assembled. Those who fail to arrive by the hour will be severely punished!"

Liu Bei frowned tightly, looked at Liu Biao's figure leaving, and had to give up. At the same time, he sighed heavily in his heart.

After the meeting, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong and left. When he walked to the door of the provincial governor's mansion, a servant suddenly stopped Liu Bei.

"General Liu, please stay!"

Liu Bei glanced at the servant and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

The servant came to Liu Bei and whispered: "I'm welcome, please follow me!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this meant, but was confused by Liu Biao, so he followed the servants, and Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong followed closely.

The servant looked at Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and the other two, and said to Liu Bei: "The envoy told me that General Liu would only be allowed to go there alone, and no other people were allowed to follow him."
