If Liu Bei hadn't left Guandu at that time, Cao Cao would not have been so badly defeated in the battle of Guandu.

60,000 people, plus the 20,000 people that Xiahoudun just supported, a full 80,000 people, and in the end only a few thousand people fled back to Xudu.

If Liu Bei hadn't left at that time, and Liu Bei was there, Zhao Hui would not have attacked the city easily.

Even if Zhao Hui really attacked the city, he might really be able to fight out the Zhao army at that time.

Now Zhao Hui will not be able to attack Xudu.

said that they would resist Zhao Hui together, but Liu Bei said that he would leave, which was too untrustworthy.

There is no need for the Cai brothers to ask, if there is a chance, Zhong Xuan also wants to kill Liu Bei.

But now, we still have to find Liu Bei first.

Whether it is to deal with Liu Bei or to unite with Liu Biao, Liu Bei is the key.

Although I haven't seen Liu Bei yet, I can guess that Liu Bei's current opinion is very important to Liu Biao.

Just convincing the Kuai Cai brothers is no longer guaranteed to convince Liu Biao.

Although Liu Biao is somewhat subject to the family in Jingzhou.

But after all, he has also been operating in Jingzhou for many years.

Now that Liu Bei is secretly helping, Liu Biao may really be able to completely get rid of the constraints of the Jingzhou family.

This is not what Cao Cao wants to see.

If Jingzhou becomes monolithic, it will be unfavorable to Cao Cao in the future.

"This Liu Bei is a mourning star." Cao Cao had already received a handwritten letter from Zhong Xuan.

Originally, if I wanted to convince Liu Biao, it was very difficult.

Now Liu Bei has added this variable. And Liu Bei is still in the shadows.

"Release the news that Liu Bei is in Jingzhou." Cao Cao said.

Since Liu Bei didn't want people to know, then he had to let everyone know.

Especially Lu Bu in Xuzhou, if he knew that Liu Bei was already in Jingzhou, would he attack Mi Zhu Jian Yong and the others who were still in Xiaopei?

Cao Cao knew that it would be impossible for him and Liu Bei to cooperate in the future.

In Guandu, Liu Bei left with his men and horses.

At that time, Cao Cao realized that he might never cooperate with Liu Bei again in this life, and he would be an enemy when he met in the future.

Later, when he learned that Liu Bei's ambush outside Yecheng had failed, and Liu Bei had not returned, Cao Cao was even more convinced.

Cao Cao guessed that Liu Bei was in Jingzhou and would definitely persuade Liu Biao not to ally with him.

He couldn't let Liu Bei spoil his good deeds anymore.

Although he admires Liu Bei very much, Cao Cao has to admit that Liu Bei is like his nemesis, whether it is hostility or alliance, Liu Bei always traps him again and again.

When he was the enemy, for the first time in Xuzhou, Liu Bei made Cao Cao lose a lot.

Later, Liu Bei joined forces, and Liu Bei thought about killing him again.

Joining forces again, Liu Bei escaped halfway and tricked him again.

This time, Liu Bei went to Jingzhou again, did he have to pit him again?

In the past, Cao Cao could not care about Liu Biao, but now, the 200,000 army in Liu Biao's hands still makes Cao Cao very warm.

Jingzhou has been calm in recent years, and at most it is just some bandits and bandits.

Huang Zu has always been there to resist Sun Ce, and he also raised Zhang Xiu in the north before.

The interior of Jingzhou has always been very stable, and the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. The barns everywhere were full of grain and grass.

The current Jingzhou is richer than the Xuzhou where Tao Qian was at the beginning.

If he hadn't faced Zhao Hui, Cao Cao would have sent troops to Jingzhou long ago.

Cao Cao asked the news to spread.

Zhao Hui, who was repairing in Puyang, also received the news quickly.

"Lord, Liu Bei really went to Jingzhou." Xu Shu looked at Zhao Hui with admiration.

Although this is not the first time, every time it is confirmed that Zhao Hui's guess is correct, Xu Shu still can't help but worship Zhao Hui.

This time, Zhao Hui judged correctly again.

"Lord, this news came from Cao Cao's side, could it be fake?" Xu Youdao.

"Guan Yu and Chen Zhi are both imprisoned in the prison of Yecheng, we and Liu Bei are mortal enemies, Cao Cao deliberately released the news to make us think that he will join forces with Liu Biao."

This is Xu You's speculation, based on the understanding of him and Cao Cao's classmates for many years, Cao Cao likes to be suspicious the most.

Xu You was not present at the matter between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he didn't know what Cao Cao and Liu Bei were thinking.

Now in the eyes of outsiders, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not have any major conflicts, and they still have a great possibility of joining forces again.

After all, when he was in Xudu, Liu Bei plotted to kill Cao Cao, and after the defeat, he escaped from Xudu, and the two heroes could still put aside their prejudices and join forces again.

Now that Cao Cao is about to be defeated, he is naturally more likely to join forces.

"What the gentleman said is not impossible." Zhao Hui said: "But Liu Bei has been missing for so long, since he has not returned to Xiaopei, he is most likely to go to Jingzhou." ”

Xu You said: "If Liu Bei is really in Jingzhou, then we should prepare early and think about how to deal with Cao and Liu's cooperation." ”

"Liu Biao is old and has no ambitions, but Liu Bei is in his prime, and he is domineering, so he will inevitably persuade Liu Biao to send troops."

This is Xu You's view.

He believed that Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two heroes, would still join forces to fight against Zhao Hui together.

They are all heroes, they are all interests first, and their current enemies are all Zhao Hui.

Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei had contradictions, the grudges between the two sides were far inferior to Zhao Hui and them.

Under Cao Cao, many generals were killed, and Xu Chu and Cao Chun were captured.

The same is true for Liu Bei.

In the face of the enemy, the weak join hands with each other to resist, this is an eternal truth, even animals will be like this.

Even Zhao Hui thinks the same.

After all, he knew that Cao Cao could let go of the revenge of killing his son.

What's more, it's just a little contradiction with Liu Bei.

However, what Xu You and Zhao Hui are thinking about now is centered on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was naturally willing to join forces with Liu Bei again to resist Zhao Hui together.

But what did Liu Bei think?

The alliance is a matter for both parties, even if Cao Cao is willing, but Liu Bei does not agree, then the alliance is just Cao Cao's wishful thinking.

Zhao Hui, Xu You, and Xu Shu did not stand in Liu Bei's position to think about whether Liu Bei was willing or not.

On the contrary, Cao Cao saw it very clearly.

Cao Cao urgently needs the help of his allies, but Liu Bei is still safe, and Zhao Hui's Mo knife still points to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei could have conspired to seize Jingzhou first, and then find a way to resist Zhao Hui.

At that time, Cao Cao was estimated to have been defeated or fled to Liangzhou.

"Let people continue to stare at Xiangyang and secretly inquire about Liu Bei's news."

Zhao Hui himself still stayed in Puyang.

Now those people in the city have been pulled by Zhao Hui to do things.

Very few people who are physically fit should do some physical work and carry some supplies, food and grass.

Those who are weak are told to do some easier work.

Helping the soldiers cook, the woman took a needle and thread to mend the torn clothes for Zhao Jun.

After Jia Xu's reminder, Zhao Hui did not raise them in vain.

Otherwise, in these days of repairing in Puyang, Jia Xu will have to talk again, these grains and grass are all wasted.

……

Xiangyang, Jingzhou, in the state pastoral mansion.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei appeared in the back garden.

"Brother, my matter in Jingzhou has been leaked, and this should be revealed by the Cai brothers to Zhong Xuan."

Liu Bei and Liu Biao sat opposite each other in the flower pavilion, and Zhang Fei stood guard at the intersection.
