The old and weak generals were removed and brought to Jingzhou to settle down, these people were busy farming, convened unified training in their spare time, and could be recruited on the spot as soon as there was a war. ”

"This method can hide Liu Biao's eyes, let him accept the lord with peace of mind, and also paralyze the princes from all walks of life, and then the lord can choose the opportunity to rise."

Chen Deng's method is equivalent to a dark Chen Cang in disguise, and if it can be successful, it will be a blockbuster.

Liu Bei's current soldiers and horses, to say the least, have 50,000, only one-tenth remains, you can imagine how elite it is.

And those removed, with Liu Bei to settle down, the annual output of food, is also a huge amount of money, accumulated over time, in less than a few years, Liu Bei's strength will increase, then Jingzhou as long as there is a slight change, maybe he can stand up again.

Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became, so he said, "Okay, let's let Xianhe go and inform Liu Biao." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Chen Deng casually asked, "Isn't the lord waiting for Zizhong to come back and see what Liu Zhang means?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "When the judgment continues to be chaotic, Bei has already decided, even if Liu Zhang invites, he can deal with it temporarily." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was so determined, Chen Deng smiled with satisfaction, and sighed that he didn't follow the wrong person, after all, people who have to look at the west and the east can't achieve great things.

You must know that Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, and afterwards Chen Qike sent someone to inform him, asking him to return to Xuzhou, relive in seclusion, and wait for the master, but Chen Deng refused his father's kindness.

Soon after, Cao Cao sent someone to secretly arrive, promised him an important official position, and asked him to take up his post, but he still did not agree.

Because Chen Deng has a dream in his heart, that is, to assist Liu Bei, who is innocent, to achieve great things, so that he can remain in history and exist like Zhang Liang.

If he retreats in the event of an incident, then all the efforts made in the past will be in vain, and Chen Deng will not be reconciled.

Chen Deng didn't tell anyone about all these things, including Liu Bei, he didn't want to use this to improve his weight, he had to rely on his own ability.

With the decision made by the two of them, Liu Bei sent someone to inform Liu Biao and began to reorganize the army, arranging the soldiers who had been laid off among the people who followed.

And when Liu Biao learned the news and confirmed that Liu Bei came to vote, he was hesitant for a while, and immediately summoned his ministers to come to discuss.

I thought that Liu Bei would not agree to such harsh conditions, but people are not as good as heaven, and after all, it is still a bad move.

Knowing the cause and effect, Kuai Liang thought for a long time and said: "Since the lord has already agreed, just pay more attention." ”

"Otherwise, if it goes back on its word and spreads out, I am afraid that the heroes of the world will stop at all, and the prestige of the lord will also be affected."

Liu Biao was embarrassed and said: "Then if Liu Bei comes, like Yuan Shao, what should I do?" ”

Kuai Liang touched his chin and said: "This is easy to do, when the time comes, send him out to fight against bandits, so that he can't develop with peace of mind, and he can't solve the possibility of growth." ”

Regarding Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao still can't feel at ease, but he has no choice but to say yes.

Seeing that Liu Biao was uneasy, Cai Mao said in a timely manner: "If the lord is uneasy, it is better to send someone to get rid of him, and he has already sought trouble." ”

Sending someone to kill Liu Bei is to prevent future troubles, but if it fails, it will be a big deal.

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "No, the Governor of Benzhou has already agreed, and if he acts like this, he is afraid that he will provoke retaliation." ”

Seeing that Liu Biao couldn't do this, that didn't work, Cai Mao kept despising it in her heart, but she still said: "Since this is the case, then wait and see, find out that it is not appropriate, and it is not too late to do it." ”

"Hmm." Cai Mao's words hit Liu Biao's heart. "Okay, where is Liu Bei placed, the safest?"

Cai Mao thought for a while and said: "It's better to place him in Pingchun, a small city in Jiangxia, and let him guard Chu Pass, to guard against Sun Ce's army, so that they can consume each other." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "Jiangxia's position is important, if Liu Bei is resentful, I am afraid that he will ally with Sun Ce, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

Seeing that Liu Biao was afraid of wolves and tigers, Cai Mao simply stopped speaking and let him think for himself.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang opened his mouth and said: "Since the lord is worried that Liu Bei will rebel, it is better to put him in front of him, Nanyang Xinye Town." ”

"The population here is less than 100,000, and it is close to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so it can also be used as a buffer land, and Liu Bei cannot develop."

Put Liu Bei in front of you, then you can always pay attention to the movement, and if there is a problem, you can also receive the news in time, which is a good choice.

Liu Biao thought for a while, then responded, and at the same time, before Liu Bei arrived, he began to migrate some elites, and planted nearly a hundred spies to ensure that he could know Liu Bei's every move.

And Liu Bei, who had no idea, led Chen Zhi and five hundred guards to Nanyang, preparing to visit Liu Biao and let Zhang Fei and Chen Deng take over Xinye first.

Knowing that Liu Bei came in person, Liu Biao still gave enough face, ordered the officials to go to the city gate to greet him, and set up a banquet in the mansion to wait for his arrival.

When Liu Bei came to the banquet and saw Liu Biao, he immediately saluted respectfully, without any scruples about the identity of the emperor's uncle, as if he was a prince who was desperate and sincerely came to vote.

Seeing this, Liu Biao's worries in his heart were also reduced a lot, and he personally stepped forward to help Liu Bei up and arranged him to the first place on the left, which was already important.

After each of them took their seats, Liu Biao announced the start of the banquet with a few simple opening remarks, and the atmosphere slowly rose.

Everyone ate and drank, Liu Bei was a new investor, and naturally some people kept toasting him.

More than an hour passed, Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei was already a little drunk, and suddenly said: "Yuan Shao occupies Xuzhou in Xuande, such a kind of benevolent will take revenge, and the ungrateful person is really damned, it is simply an insult to the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family." ”

"If Xuande wants to take revenge, my brother can provide you with food and help you take Xuzhou."

If Liu Bei hates Yuan Shao in his heart and agrees to accept help, then Liu Biao will be more defensive of Liu Bei in his heart, as for the grain to help recapture Xuzhou, then just prevaricate with a drunken joke, what can Liu Bei do with him.

Why did Liu Biao do such a temptation, because a person who can tolerate the hatred of Xuzhou being taken away by others for a long time, then his inner forbearance is also extremely powerful.

A straightforward person has nothing to be afraid of, and the most feared are those who have a smile on the surface, have been hiding other thoughts in their hearts, and are waiting for the opportunity.

And if Liu Bei doesn't hold a grudge against Yuan Shao, then he agrees with Yuan Shao's move in his heart, that is, he will act like this one day.

Therefore, no matter whether Liu Bei holds a grudge against Yuan Shao or not, Liu Biao will be wary.

I saw Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, looking drunk, and he said slowly: "It is normal for Xuzhou to change hands." ”
