Liu Qi's military ability is not on the table, and all military operations are arranged by Liu Bei, to be precise, Xu Shu is in command.

From Liu Qi's independence at the beginning, as well as Liu Bei's promotion of Liu Qi as the assassin of Jingzhou, and even sending troops to attack Xiangyang, Xu Shu was strategizing. Without Xu Shu's leadership, I'm afraid Liu Bei and Liu Qi would not choose to send troops at this time.

It's just that Xu Shu is doing this at a great risk. Not to mention whether it can successfully capture Xiangyang, Nanyang also has to face other threats. The other princes were watching the situation in Jingzhou, ready to take a bite at the most critical time.

This is a big gamble, and if it is won, Liu Bei will become the actual master of Jingzhou. If they lost, Liu Bei and Xu Shu had to be displaced. Liu Bei and Xu Shu both knew, but they had to gamble. Even if they don't send troops, the other princes won't watch Jingzhou safely carry out the transition of power. Rather than passively defending when others are moving, it is better to take advantage of the fact that others are not ready, grasp the initiative yourself, and at least save your life when you fail.

Xu Shu and Liu Bei were not defenseless.

In addition to the preemptive attack, Xu Shu asked Mi Fang, who was entrenched in Jiangxia County, to lead the Yellow Turban Army to threaten Jiangxia County and prevent any attack on Nanyang County by the Jingzhou army of Jiangxia County. The Taishou of Jiangxia County was Zhang Yun, everyone in Jingzhou knew that Zhang Yun was Cai Mao's person, and Liu Bei and Xu Shu both thought that Zhang Yun would not watch Liu Qi attack Xiangyang and not move. It's just that Liu Bei and Xu Shu are thinking a little too much, although Zhang Yun is now the Taishou of Jiangxia County, it's just that he is not willing to come here. Last time, in order to go further, Zhang Yun disobeyed Cai Mao's order. Although Zhang Yun relented to Cai Mao in the end, Cai Mao did not have any seizures at that time. But Cai Mao didn't dare to act rashly because he was worried about Zhang Yun's prestige in the army. When the situation was controlled by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun's life began to be unlucky. Zhang Yun was directly transferred from the deputy governor to Jiangxia County by Cai Mao on the grounds that Jiangxia County was close to Jiangdong and must send a general to guard it. Zhang Yun was very unhappy in his heart, but the situation had been decided, and Zhang Yun couldn't make any waves.

It's different now, Liu Qi held high the banner to kill Cai Mao, Zhang Yun didn't have time to support him, how could he make trouble for Liu Qi.

Cai Mao remembered his old subordinates at this time, and directly gave Zhang Yun an order to attack Nanyang, disrupt Liu Qi's arrangement, and then attack from both sides, so Liu Qi could only be defeated. Jingzhou will be able to regain stability.

Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao's order and sneered, this Cai Mao's typical white-eyed wolf, he was very good to you when he used you, but once you offended him, even after decades, he would remember it and take revenge on you at every opportunity. Zhang Yun replied directly to Cai Mao, because there were a large number of yellow turbans in Jiangxia County, and Jiangdong had to be guarded against, Jiangxia County was really unable to send troops at this moment.

This excuse is above board, and Cai Mao can't refute Zhang Yun at all.

Knowing that Zhang Yun was perfunctory, Cai Mao was very angry, but he endured this anger first, and then cleaned up Zhang Yun when he had the opportunity in the future.

Not only Liu Bei and Cai Mao are eyeing Jiangxia County, but another is also eyeing Jiangxia County.

This person is Sima Hui who has been laying out.

Sima Hui left Xiangyang City a long time ago, as a wise man, Sima Hui had long seen that Liu Biao would not last long, and Cai Mao was a restless lord, where would Sima Hui stay in Xiangyang.

Leaving Xiangyang with Sima Hui was also the Pang Degong family who was an old fox.

It's just that Sima Hui's target this time is not Zhang Yun, the Taishou of Jiangxia County, but another force in Jiangxia County, the "Yellow Turban Army" led by Mi Fang.

Sima Hui already knew that the Yellow Turban Army in Jiangxia County was Liu Bei's army, and he had a very important purpose in coming here now, if he could succeed, he might be able to influence the situation in Jingzhou.

Sima Hui was very confident in his actions today, and he sent his henchmen to find out that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was Mi Fang.

Knowing that he was victorious in all battles, Sima Hui investigated Mi Fang and finally found a factor that was very beneficial to his plan.

Sima Hui came to the place where Mi Fang was hiding, which was a very secret valley. Don't ask Sima Hui how he found out, he has his own sources of information.

Sima Hui walked into the valley openly, and was caught by Mi Fang's sentry after walking for a long time.

Sima Hui was not surprised by such a situation, he originally thought that he would have to spend some time, but who knew that it would take no effort at all, and said: "If the old man is here to see your leader, please take the old man with you." ”

These sentries didn't know who the person in front of them was, and why they were about to see their own leader as soon as they opened their mouths, and they were very puzzled in their hearts.

"What are you still doing? Old man, a powerless scholar, will it be detrimental to your leader? The old man has something to say about the life of your leader, and if you are too late, you will be in trouble. Sima Hui said lightly.

The sentinels are all coarse people who can't read a single word, and they are a little afraid of literate readers. After all, now educated people are mixed well, and they, the flat-headed people, can only look up.

Thinking that the life of the leader was at stake, these sentries also agreed to take Sima Hui to see Mi Fang.

The sentry took Sima Hui around for a long time, and finally came to a large number of thatched huts, and then to the middle one. Sima Hui looked around, and soldiers with yellow cloths tied around him came out, all of them looking at him with great confusion.

Sima Hui showed a smile on his face, these people are not Yellow Turbans at all, what the Yellow Turban Party looks like, Sima Hui has seen it. The Yellow Turbans are all civilians who can't survive, rebelling for their own food, so they are all relatively thin, where will they be like these soldiers, everyone's face is very full, and it is clear that they are pretending.

Sima Hui stood outside the door waiting for Mi Fang, he knew that Mi Fang would definitely be willing to see him.

Mi Fang was resting in the grass hut, and when she heard the sentry say that there was an old guy outside who wanted to see her, she immediately became angry and shouted: "Where did the sour Confucianism come from, what are you doing on an errand, the time is precious, can any cat or dog see it?" Let him! ”

The sentry was scolded by Mi Fang, not to mention the fire in his heart, he was full of food and support, and he had nothing to do. So he was ready to go out and vent his anger on the person who had wronged him.

Mi Fang was angry just now because she was disturbed by her sleeping time, and many people have this kind of thing when she gets up. But Mi Fang is a general after all, and soon his mind will be clear. He realized that he hadn't asked things clearly, so what if it was his own people?

"Come back, you say it again, what did the man outside say?" Mi Fang asked.

The sentry originally wanted to go out, but he didn't expect Mi Fang to call him back again, and he almost didn't flash his waist, and finally said: "General, the old guy outside said that there was a big matter related to the general's life, and the small one was confused for a while, and now the little one is gone!" ”

"What the is going on, call him in!" Mi Fang was really speechless, these subordinates really didn't know what to see, and they couldn't do anything that was in line with their hearts at all.

The sentry really didn't know what Mi Fang was thinking.

"Move your mouth up here, and break your leg below." The sentry thought helplessly, touching his head.

Sima Hui watched the sentry come out and call him in, and a smile appeared on his face, which was indeed not what he expected.

Sima Hui walked directly into the thatched house, and at this time, Mi Fang had already sat down, waiting for Sima Hui.

"Who are you? What do you want to see this chief? It is also said that it is about the life of this leader, you had better say a reason, otherwise this leader is affectionate, and the knife in his hand will not recognize people! Mi Fang threatened from the beginning, he didn't know Sima Hui, so naturally he wouldn't have any psychological burden.

Sima Hui bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "In Xia Sima Decao, I have seen General Mi!" ”

Mi Fang stood up, this person is Sima Hui? Mr. Water Mirror! And what did he just say? General Mi?! Did he see who he was? So what is the purpose of being here today?

Sima Hui said with a smile: "General Mi doesn't need to panic, there is no malice in the subordinates!" ”

Mi Fang's eyes shrank, and his right hand slowly rested on the hilt of the knife, he wanted to kill Sima Hui, so as not to expose his identity. Mi Fang knew that as soon as her identity was exposed, it would be a big blow to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's reputation was over, and he would never want to turn over for the rest of his life. For Liu Bei, Mi Fang could only stand up to Sima Hui.

Mi Fang's small actions did not hide Sima Hui's eyes, and Sima Hui said lightly: "General Mi, you can kill the old man if you want." Just kill the old man, then there will be no one to save you. General Mi, you have to think clearly. ”

Mi Fang's right hand stopped, a wise man like Sima Hui would not come here to talk nonsense for no reason. Mi Fang felt that she had nothing to lose by listening to Sima Hui's words, and it was a big deal to kill him when she was not satisfied.

"Sir, please take a seat!" Mi Fang stretched out her hand to a seat next to her.

Sima Hui sat down very heroically, Mi Fang nodded lightly in his heart, not afraid of danger, this is everyone's demeanor.

"Ben will be stupid, I don't know what advice Mr. came here today?" Mi Fang asked solemnly.

"General, your life is in danger. After the old man knew about the general, he risked his life to come and tell him! "Sima Hui sold a pass.

Mi Fang really wants to scold people in her heart, why are there so many twists and turns among learned people, can't you just say it directly?

"Sir, Ben's time is precious! Please speak up, sir! Mi Fang was a little unhappy.

Sima Hui was scheming and calculating, and knew that he would not succeed if he continued like this, so he said: "General, you led the troops to run rampant in Nanyang and Jiangxia under the banner of the Yellow Turban, and you looked majestic, but you laid the foundation for your future defeat!" ”

"Joke!" Mi Fang said contemptuously, everything he is doing now is arranged by Liu Bei, and Xu Shu has already ordered his next move. It has always been very smooth, Liu Bei still values Mi Fang very much, and Mi Fang thinks that where will he be defeated.

"Huh." In the face of Mi Fang's contempt, Sima Hui also smiled.

"Does the general think that the old man is alarmist? In fact, the general forgot one thing, this troubled era was started by the Yellow Turban Party. Now that it is still the world of the Han Dynasty, no one will choose to forgive the yellow scarf. The name of the Yellow Turban that General Mi is now using can certainly attract a large number of displaced people to serve the general, and it can also bring a lot of benefits to the general's lord. But has the general ever thought that once the general's identity is revealed, will your lord keep you? General, did your lord really choose to save your life in the midst of the turmoil in the world? Not necessarily! ”

Mi Fang's face changed, if his identity was exposed, would Liu Bei really keep himself? Mi Fang himself was not sure, after all, he didn't know Liu Bei that well. Following Liu Bei for so many years, Mi Fang only knew that Liu Bei was a person with a deep city.

Sima Hui saw that Mi Fang's face had changed, and he knew that he had spoken of Mi Fang's heart, and continued: "Even if the general did not reveal his identity, everything went smoothly according to the plan of the general and his master. It's just that there is a sentence that the general has not heard, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook! What's more, general, you once pretended to be a yellow turban and endangered the people, when the world returned to peace, would your lord deal with you for the sake of your reputation? After all, this kind of thing is jeopardizing his reputation. ”

Mi Fang's face had turned pale, and her head was already sweating profusely.

Yes, as Sima Hui said, even if he succeeds in the future, Liu Bei will kill Mi Fang for his own reputation. Liu Bei has always flaunted benevolence and righteousness, if others know that he arranged Mi Fang to fake the yellow scarf, what will the world think of him? If Liu Bei doesn't want to see that situation, he will inevitably choose to take precautions, and then it may be a cup of cancer.

"Damn it down! Please also ask the gentleman for some guidance! Mi Fang was really scared.

Sima Hui smiled and said, "It's not too late for the general to wake up today. The old man just didn't want to see the general die in vain, so he came to tell him. Now, the old man will show the general a clear way, and it is up to the general himself whether the general adopts it. ”

"Thank you, sir, I will obey you." Mi Fang said gratefully.

Sima Hui came to Mi Fang's ear and said it, Mi Fang's face slowly changed, and finally said in surprise: "Sir, this ......"

"General, the wall has ears. As long as the general is a little calm, he will make proper arrangements for the general at the critical moment. Sima Hui reminded.

"Got it down!" Mi Fang had an epiphany.

"The old man has taken his leave!" Sima Hui arched his hand and said.

"Thank you, sir, I will do as Mr. tells me!" Mi Fang arched her hand and said.

Sima Hui left Mi Fang's thatched hut with a smile, and he realized another step of his plan.
