Chapter 51 Ma Chao Pound defected to Jiaozhou Wolong and Phoenix chicks came out of the mountain (10
After returning to his hometown, Zhuge Liang studied at home and also paid attention to the situation in the world. At that time, Ma Chao and Cao Cao were fighting fiercely, and Zhuge Liang thought that if Liu Biao could take advantage of the situation and attack Cao Cao, he would have a lot to do. Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Biao had invited Pang Degong to come out of the mountain several times and knew his name. Nine times out of ten would come to invite himself. At that time, he made a plan to attack Cao Cao with Ma Chao, and he would definitely become famous.
However, people are not as good as God. Zhuge Liang did not count that Pang Tong would visit Liu Biao first. What's more, after Liu Biao met Pang Tong, he classified Wolong and Fengzhu as one kind of characters, for fear that Zhuge Liang would also grow crooked melons and split dates, so he lost interest in Zhuge Liang and naturally would not invite him out of the mountain. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang also has miscalculated.
Although Zhuge Liang did not come to present a plan to Liu Biao, one person agreed with Zhuge Liang, that is, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xinye. Since he defected to Liu Biao, Liu Bei has developed at ease in Xinye. Unfortunately, a small county in Xinye is not strong enough to develop, and there are not many military affairs that need to be dealt with by Liu Bei. Usually, Liu Bei stayed at home with his wife, Mrs. Gan.
Liu Bei didn't have time to accompany his wife before, but now he has leisure to make villains at home with Mrs. Gan all day long. Not to mention that Liu Bei, who had no children, really conceived Mrs. Gan and gave birth to a son named Liu Chan. And because Mrs. Gan dreamed of swallowing Beidou when she was pregnant, Liu Chan's name was A Dou.
When Liu Bei heard that Ma Teng had died and Ma Chao fought with Cao to capture Chang'an, he felt that the time had come. As long as he can move Liubiao to send troops, after taking Cao Cao's territory, Liu Bei himself will have the opportunity to expand his territory. So Liu Bei went to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao persuade him, "Now Cao Cao has sent troops to the west, and Xu Chang is empty. If Jingxiang's people attack it from behind, a big event can be achieved.
Liu Biao's ambition was not big, and Sun Quan, who had to guard against his enmity with him, said to Liu Bei, "It's enough for me to sit in Jingxiang's nine counties. How can I have other plans?"
Liu Bei was indifferent when he heard the words. Seeing that he looked gloomy, Liubiao invited him to drink in the back hall. When the wine was half drunk, Liu Biao suddenly sighed. Liu Bei asked, "Why did my brother sigh?"
Liu Biao said, "I have something to tell my brother, but I haven't been able to get it."
Liu Beiqi said, "What's the difficult thing for my brother? If there is a brother, he will die.
Liu Biao said, "Liu Qi, the son of his ex-wife Chen, is virtuous, but cowardly is not enough. Liu Cong, the youngest son of his second wife Cai, is quite smart. I want to abolish the long and young, but I'm afraid it will hinder the etiquette. He wants to set up his eldest son, and because the Cai clan is in charge of military affairs, he is worried about chaos. So I'm hesitant."
Liu Bei also felt a headache when he heard that it was Liu Biao's family affairs. It can be said that every family has its own difficulties, and Liu Bei himself has been having a headache about his children recently. Liu Bei had been childless before, so he accepted an adopted son named Liu Feng and planned to inherit the foundation in the future. But now that he has a parent and child Liu Chan, how can Liu Bei not worry about Liu Feng and Liu Chan fighting for power in the future? However, Liu Bei is stronger than Liu Biao in that he has his own principles of doing things, that is, righteousness comes first. What is justice in the matter of children? Naturally, it is to stand up but not to be young, and to set up not to be a concubine. Therefore, Liu Bei has long planned to let Liu Chan inherit his foundation in the future.
At this time, Liu Bei listened to Liu Biao's question about family affairs and said according to the principle in his heart: "Since ancient times, it has been a way to make trouble. If you worry about the weight of Cai's weight, you can slowly cut it, and you can't make a young son because of doting.
This time it was Liu Biao's turn to be silent, and the room was silent for a moment. At this time, Liu Bei suddenly heard the sound of ringing bells after hearing the screen. It turned out that Mrs. Cai had always suspected Liu Bei. Every time Liu Bei discussed with Liu Biao, she would come to eavesdrop. After the screen, she heard Liu Bei's advice that Liu Biaoli's eldest son Liu Qi was resentful for a moment, and then she showed her deeds.
When Liu Bei heard Huan Pei's voice, even if he didn't see Mrs. Cai and knew that it was Liu Biao's family's eavesdropping. Knowing that he was speechless, he got up and went to the toilet to give the woman a chance to avoid it.
When Liu Bei went to the toilet, he saw his flesh come back and felt that he was under the shelter of others. Even Liu's cousin did not dare to offend him and couldn't help burst into tears. A moment later, Liu Bei returned to the banquet. When Liu Biao saw that his eyes were red, he asked, "Why did Xuande cry?"
Liu Bei naturally dared not say that it was because of the suffering under the shelter of Liu Biao, so he sighed: "In the past, he did not leave the saddle, fought in all directions, and the flesh was scattered. Now I haven't been riding a horse for a long time. If the sun and the moon compete, people will grow old, and if the achievements are not built, it will be sad!"
Liu Biao heard the words and advised: "I heard that my brother is cooking wine with Cao Cao in Xuchang and talking about heroes. Cao Cao didn't think so, but he said that the heroes in the world were only Xuande and ears. With the power of Cao Cao, I don't dare to be before my brother. Why should I worry about failure?
Liu Bei took advantage of the wine and replied, "If there is a foundation, there is nothing to worry about."
Liu Biao didn't say anything when he heard the words, and he was unhappy. Liu Bei knew that he was speechless and returned to the museum to rest on the pretext of drunkenness. Liu Biao sent Liu Bei back to his inner house. Mrs. Cai said, "I just heard Liu Bei's words behind the screen, which showed that he had the intention of annexing Jingzhou. If it is not eliminated today, it will be a disaster in the future.
Liu Biao knew that Mrs. Cai hated Liu Bei because of Liu Bei's support. It was not that Liu Bei really wanted to take Jingzhou, so he shook his head and refused.
When Mrs. Cai saw that Liu Biao refused, she secretly summoned Cai Mao to discuss and wanted to get rid of Liu Bei. Cai Mao said, "This matter is very easy. I will go to the museum to kill it, and then inform the lord. Liu Bei is dead, what can the lord do?" Mrs. Cai nodded and said yes, so she asked Cai Mao to order troops to kill Liu Bei overnight.
Liu Bei returned to the building and remembered that he deeply regretted his two words today. He couldn't fall asleep for a while and sat down with a candle. From the sky to the third watch, he wanted to go to bed. Suddenly, a man knocked on the door and entered. It was Yi Ji. It turned out that Yi Ji found out that Cai Mao wanted to harm Liu Bei, so he came to tell him and urged Liu Bei to get up quickly.
Liu Bei didn't know whether it was true or not, so he tried to say goodbye, "I'm afraid it's not polite."
Yi Ji said anxiously, "If Xuande goes to say goodbye, he will be harmed by Cai Mao."
Liu Bei saw that Yi Ji's anxiety was not fake, and also knew that his life was more important than false etiquette, so he thanked Yi Ji for calling people and got on horse together. Without waiting for dawn, the starry night fled back to Xinye.
Wait for Cai Mao to lead the troops to the museum, Liu Bei has been there for a long time. Cai Mao was full of regret and hatred. Suddenly, he had an idea and wrote a poem on the wall. Then he saw Liu Biao and said, "Liu Bei has the intention of rebellion. He wrote a rebellious poem on the wall and left without saying goodbye."
Liu Biao didn't believe it and went to the museum to watch it. Sure enough, he saw four poems on the wall: "I have been trapped for several years, empty to the old mountains and rivers. The dragon is not in the pool, and he wants to go to the sky by thunder!"
When Liu Biao saw the poem, he drew his sword and said, "Swear to kill this unjust man!" But when he was about to order the pursuit of Liu Bei, he suddenly woke up and said to himself, "I haven't seen him write poems with Xuande for a long time, and the handwriting on the wall is not like what he wrote, but like Cai Mao's handwriting. This is also a way to alienate." After thinking about it, he cut the poetry on the wall with the tip of the sword.
Cai Mao thought that Liu Biao must send troops when he saw the poem. When he saw Liu Biao out of the museum, he said, "The sergeant has already ordered it. You can go to Xinye to capture Liu Bei."
Seeing that Cai Mao was so enthusiastic, Liu Biao was even more sure what he was thinking, so he stopped him and said, "Don't make it worse. Let me do it slowly."
Seeing that Liu Biao was hesitant, Cai Mao went to discuss with Mrs. Cai: "We failed to remove Liu Bei this time. You can take the opportunity to seduce and kill the officials in Xiangyang.
Mrs. Cai listened to Cai Mao's words and said to Liu Biao the next day: "In recent years, Jing Xiangfeng is familiar with him. Why doesn't the lord gather officials in Xiangyang to show his praise?"
Liu Biao said, "This is very kind, but I have a bad temper recently and can't work hard, which can make Qier and Conger come forward to treat guests."
Mrs. Cai said, "The two of them are young and may be rude."
Liu Biao thought for a moment and said, "You can invite Xuande to Xinye to treat guests. He and I know the etiquette well and will not be rude to others.
Mrs. Cai was secretly happy to hear the words, so she sent someone to Xinye to invite Liu Bei. Liu Bei fled back to Xinye that day. He knew that he had caused trouble and did not mention it to the generals. At this time, the messenger asked him to go to Xiangyang, so he hesitated and summoned the generals to discuss.
Xun said, "The day before yesterday, the lord hurried back and seemed to have something on his mind. It is foolish to speculate that the lord will have an accident in Jingzhou. Today, the messenger suddenly invited to the meeting, and the lord should not go lightly.
Liu Bei heard that Xun Zhen had guessed what was on his mind, so he told everyone about the past. After hearing this, Guan Yu said, "My brother lost his doubts. Liu Jingzhou has no intention to blame him. Yi Ji's words are not credible. Xiangyang is not far from here. If you don't go to Liu Jingzhou now, you will have doubts.
Liu Bei nodded and said, "That's what Yun Chang said!"
Zhang Fei said, "If there is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting. It's better not to go."
Chen came and said, "I would like to lead 300 people of Ma Bujun to go with me, but I can protect my lord's work."
Liu Bei knew that Chen's subordinates were all elites selected from the Xuzhou soldiers, and they were also his own personal guards, known as the White Army. This kind of elite military route is also learned from Liu Bei from Nanye, which is very suitable for Liu Bei, who has a small territory and has no money to support soldiers. Three hundred white troops can be 3,000 ordinary soldiers. So Liu Bei nodded and said, "It's so good!" After saying that, he went to the banquet with Chen.
When Cai Mao saw that Liu Bei came, he went out of the city to greet him with courtesy and humility. Liu Qi and Liu Cong's two sons also welcomed a group of civil and military officers. Liu Bei saw that Cai Mao had no intention, and saw that the two princes were there, and his doubts went away a little. Chen did not dare to be careless and attracted 300 elite soldiers to surround the protection, wearing armor and hanging swords without leaving Liu Bei.
Liu Qi didn't know Cai Mao's plan. Seeing that Liu Bei's armor was very careful, he explained, "My father had a seizure and couldn't act. That's why I specially invited my uncle to treat guests and encourage the guards everywhere.
Liu Bei supported Liu Qi to take office. Naturally, he did not believe that Liu Qi would harm himself. He was suspicious and said to Liu Qi, "I dared not take this heavy responsibility. But since it's my brother's order, I will try my best."
The next day, officials from 42 prefectures in nine counties arrived. Cai Mao first discussed with Kuai Yue: "The hero of Liu Bei's world will be a disaster if he stays here for a long time, and it can be eliminated today."
Now that Kailiang has died of illness, Kaiyue has great power as Liu Biao's chief counselor and the head of the Kai family, and even Cai Mao can't bypass him. Hearing this, Guoyue hesitated and said, "Uncle Liu is not a big mistake in acting kindly. I'm afraid of losing the hope of the people."
Cai Mao lied and said, "I have secretly received the order of Liu Jingzhou."
Kai Yue knew that Cai Mao was Liu Biao's brother-in-law, so he nodded and said, "In this case, you can be prepared like this..."
