Liu Biao was a little surprised when he learned that Liu Bei, Yi and Zhuge Liang came to see him together. He didn't send a decree for Zhuge Liang and others to come to visit, but they came up by themselves.

In the palace, Liu Biao asked aloud: "Xuande, you recruited Kong Ming, aren't you going to the front line?" ”

No matter what, Liu Biao saw Liu Bei staying in Xiangyang, and his heart was a little uncomfortable after all.

Liu Bei stayed, like a spike poking him in the heart.

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "Brother Jingsheng, Bei's original plan was to leave Xiangyang today and take Kong Ming to resist the Shu army. However, just now, Kong Ming and Gongyou entered the city under the protection of the soldiers, and they said that they had received a very important piece of news, even enough to affect the battle on the front line. ”

"Oh, what's the news?"

When Liu Biao heard that it could affect the battle situation, he immediately became interested, and his thoughts of blaming Liu Bei were also thrown out of the clouds. For Liu Biao, Wang Can's problem is the number one.

Liu Bei said word by word: "Kong Ming found Wang Can's traces, Wang Can is in Lumen Mountain. ”

"Lumen Mountain?"

Liu Biao's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Zhuge Liang, and asked in a deep voice, "Kong Ming, are you really sure?" ”

Zhuge Liang clenched his fists and said: "Back to the King of Chu, Liang also learned about it through Cui Zhouping. Cui Zhouping passed by Lumen Mountain and accidentally discovered Dian Wei's whereabouts. When Wang Can entered Jingzhou, he also brought Dian Wei here, so Cui Zhouping had an impression. Although Cui Zhouping did not find Wang Can, as long as it is determined that Dian Wei is in Lumen Mountain, Wang Can must be here. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said again: "Finding out that Wang Can is in Xiangyang can also explain why the lord was framed, this is exactly what Wang Can wants to make the king of Chu and the lord fight among themselves, and kill the lord by the hand of the king of Chu, so that he can benefit from it." ”

"Whew! Call! ”

Liu Biao took a deep breath and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Wang Can was hiding in Xiangyang, which was a shocking event.

After a while, Liu Biao said: "The three of you are here together so that I can send troops to encircle and suppress Wang Can, kill Wang Can in Lumen Mountain, and thus make the Shu army collapse?" ”

Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "Brother Jingsheng, the opportunity is right in front of you, don't miss it." ”

Liu Biao's expression was cold, and he said coldly: "The opportunity is here, of course you can't miss it." The question is how to plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and that is the most important thing. Lumen Mountain is densely forested, easy to hide, even if we lead the troops to surround Lumen Mountain, there are certain difficulties, once we enter the mountain forest, the soldiers have to disperse, it is very difficult. ”

After a pause, Liu Biao looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, you are a talented person in Jingxiang, with great ambitions, and you compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, now this king will give you a chance to make a plan." How many soldiers are needed, you just ask. ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Ten thousand soldiers will kill Wang Can." ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he asked, "Do you really want 10,000 people to encircle and suppress Wang Can?" For this data, Liu Biao had some doubts in his heart. He originally thought that Zhuge Liang compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and thought that he was capable and strong, and he could say a thousand soldiers, or two thousand or five thousand, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to open his mouth and directly be 10,000 soldiers.

Zhuge Liang said: "King Chu, there is no way, Liang wants to surround Lumen Mountain to death, and he has to search from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain one by one, which is very difficult." As the king of Chu said, there are many dense forests in the mountains and forests, and it is easy to hide, and we are in the dark in the Ming Dynasty, so we need more soldiers. In fact, if the king of Chu provided 20,000 people, it would be easier to deal with it, and even Da Xian Mountain could be included, but unfortunately it was not realistic, just 10,000 people. ”

Liu Mian's cheeks twitched slightly, smacking his tongue, and staring at Zhuge Liang with wide eyes.

20,000 people, it's a shame that he can say it!

Immediately, Liu Biao shouted: "Someone! As the words fell, a soldier hurriedly ran in and respectfully saluted Liu Biao, who opened his mouth and ordered: "Inform Cai Mao and let him enter the palace immediately." ”

"No!"

The soldier said yes and immediately went to deliver the order.

Liu Bei saw the soldiers leaving, the expression on his face did not change at all, as long as he could kill Wang Can, it didn't matter if he was Cai Mao leading the troops, or Liu Biao personally leading the troops, or Zhuge Liang leading the troops, it was the same.

However, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

10,000 soldiers, Zhuge Liang did this on purpose.

Just now Liu Biao said that he would plan to encircle and suppress Wang Can, and Zhuge Liang thought that Liu Biao would let him lead the soldiers. Once he personally led the troops to encircle and suppress Wang Can, these 10,000 soldiers could eventually become Liu Bei's strength. But Liu Biao brought Cai Mao here, obviously letting Cai Mao lead the troops, and he was only making suggestions and couldn't make profits from it.

It's a pity that everything has changed because of Cai Mao.

Half an hour, Cai Mao hurriedly entered the palace. After he saw Liu Bei, his expression did not change at all, but nodded at Liu Bei.

Cai Mao bowed down and bowed: "The last general, Cai Mao, meet the lord." ”

Liu Biao didn't make a detour, and directly ordered: "Deqi, I came to you today because I have a big thing for you to do." Zhuge Liang discovered Wang Can's traces and confirmed that Wang Can was hiding in Lumen Mountain, southeast of Xiangyang City. You led 10,000 soldiers to follow Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei to exterminate Wang Can, and the specific plan was arranged by Zhuge Liang. ”

"No!"

Cai Mao raised her eyebrows, and her face showed ecstasy.

Exterminate Wang Can, this is a great achievement!

If Wang Can can be killed, he will definitely be able to change the embarrassing situation. Cai Mao's heart was already eager to try, and she began to think about how to kill Wang Can.

Immediately, Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "The task has told you, you immediately transfer troops now and prepare to encircle and suppress Wang Can." ”

"The last will obey."

Cai Mao happily agreed, with an excited look on her face. Cai Mao turned around happily, and when he was about to leave, he heard Zhuge Liang say: "General Cai, slow down!" ”

Cai Mao turned around and asked, "Kong Ming, is there something wrong?" ”

The Zhuge family took root in Jingzhou, and they were all connected with Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, the Kuai brothers, and Cai Mao, and the relationship was not bad, but when he was suddenly stopped by Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao was not unhappy.

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand to Cai Mao, and then bowed his hand to Liu Biao and said: "King Chu, Wang Can is lurking outside the city, and there must be Wang Can's inner line in the city. And the 10,000 soldiers recruited by General Cai can't tell them what the task is, he only needs to take them towards Lumen Mountain, so as to ensure that the news is not leaked. ”

After hearing this, Cai Mao was in awe.

Good guy, Zhuge Liang is still thinking about it comprehensively! If he had gone directly to mobilize the soldiers just now, he would have told the soldiers that Wang Can was in Lumen Mountain, and the news would definitely be leaked.

After Liu Biao heard this, he said; "Kong Ming is reasonable, so he will send troops at night."

After a pause, Liu Biao said, "Go ahead and discuss how to take down Wang Can." ”

"No!"

Cai Mao, Liu Bei and others saluted Liu Biao, then left the palace and went straight to Cai's mansion. It was afternoon, a few hours before dark, and they had plenty of time to discuss their plans.
