10,000 soldiers, who quietly left Xiangyang City last night, are now returning tired. (）

I stayed up all night, and now I'm coming back empty-handed.

Among them, Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly suffering. He firmly believed that Cui Zhouping would not lie to him, and it was impossible to deliberately lie to him, but now he did not catch Wang Can, which made Zhuge Liang feel a little disappointed. Even if Liu Bei defended him, Zhuge Liang felt very uncomfortable in his heart and was unwilling to face this result.

Zhuge Liang thought carefully, but he still couldn't figure out how Wang Can left.

Perhaps, as Liu Bei said, Wang Can is cunning and cunning, and he has long been ready to retreat.

When the army entered the city, Cai Mao brought 10,000 soldiers into the barracks and settled down, and then marched to the palace with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Yi Yuan. Although the operation failed, he still had to give an account to Liu Biao.

In the palace, Liu Biaogao sat on the throne.

After listening to Liu Bei's words, he didn't get angry, his expression was very calm, and he said lightly: "Wang Can entered Xiangyang alone, he has no power and power, and he can't make big waves, so don't worry." Xuande, the war on the front line is tight, you immediately get up with the guards and go to the front line, and command the soldiers to resist the Shu army, this is the right thing. As for Wang Can's affairs in Xiangyang, I will let people handle it. ”

In Liu Biao's heart, he still hoped that Liu Bei would leave earlier.

Wang Can's matter, he can find someone to search for him. But Liu Bei stayed in Xiangyang, and he always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he was very unaccustomed to it.

Zhuge Liang said: "King of Chu, the grass people ask to stay in Xiangyang and assist the King of Chu in arresting Wang Can. ”

Liu Biao stared at Zhuge Liang, the gaze of his eyes seemed to be substantial, penetrating Zhuge Liang's heart like a sharp knife, but Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear, his expression was calm, and there was nothing abnormal. Liu Biao thought that Zhuge Liang was a young talent in Xiangyang, talented and capable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let Kong Ming stay." ”

However, Liu Biao did not arrange a position for Zhuge Liang, at best he was a diner.

Zhuge Liang immediately bowed and said, "Thank you King Chu." ”

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "Jibo, Xuande, Kong Ming, you go out first, I have something to tell Deju." ”

"No!"

At that moment, Yi Yuan, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang left, leaving only Cai Mao alone.

Liu Biao asked, "Deju, what do you think of Wang Can's matter?" ”

Cai Mao said respectfully: "Lord, Wang Can is extremely cunning, and his whereabouts are erratic. Take this time to Lumen Mountain to encircle and suppress Wang Can, we waited all night, and slowly searched from the morning, but we didn't find Wang Can's figure. Wang Can's stay outside the city is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is difficult to catch. The most important thing is that if this person stays in Xiangyang, he will definitely fan the flames and pose a threat to the security of Xiangyang. ”

Liu Biao asked again: "Do you have any way to catch Wang Can?" ”

Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Lord, the last general is short of wisdom, and it is difficult to catch Wang Can, and he has to have the assistance of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to have a chance to catch Wang Can." As for Zhuge Liang, after all, he is the one who follows Liu Bei, and he is not considering the interests of the Chu State, but Liu Bei's vital interests, so please think twice. ”

Liu Biao said: "Okay, you said it well, you are worthy of being the mainstay of my Chu State, let Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang assist you." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Biao shouted: "Come on, spread the word that Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang will meet." ”

After the order was delivered, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang quickly hurried to the palace.

Liu Biao immediately told Wang Can about it, and instructed Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to assist Cai Mao in searching for Wang Can. Then, Liu Biaocai asked: "Zirou, Xenodu, Wang Can is in Xiangyang, what do you think?" ”

When the two heard that Wang Can was in Xiangyang, they were extremely surprised.

They investigated the reason why a hundred soldiers were robbed and killed, and guessed that it was done by people under Wang Can's command. But now that it is confirmed that Wang Can ran to Xiangyang, it means that Wang Can personally commanded it, which makes the two feel that Wang Can is too bold.

The lord of a country has actually penetrated into the hinterland of Chu State, which is powerful enough.

Such courage shocked both of them.

Liu Biao saw that Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang did not react, looked at Kuai Liang, and shouted: "Zirou, what do you think?" ”

Kuai Liang was awakened by Liu Biao, quickly sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, Wang Can is hiding near Xiangyang, and we can catch turtles in the urn." The humble suggestion is to ask the lord to immediately issue an order to put all the checkpoints leading to Xiangyang under martial law to prevent Wang Can from escaping Xiangyang. ”

Cai Mao frowned and said, "Zirou, I don't think this method is useful?" ”

Liu Biao also nodded in agreement.

Wang Can specially went to Xiangyang to get it, so that all checkpoints were under martial law, although it was said to prevent Wang Can from leaving, but Wang Can had no idea of leaving, wouldn't it be in vain.

Kuai Liang continued: "My lord, martial law at the checkpoint is the first step. Then we sent soldiers to search for Wang Can's traces, which would make Wang Can hide and not dare to show his face. In this way, Wang Can was blocked in Xiangyang and couldn't leave, and he couldn't show his face, so we took out a death row prisoner from the prison and pretended to be Wang Can to hang outside the city, claiming that Wang Can was killed, shaking the military morale of the front-line Shu army, and at the same time shaking the internal situation of Shu. ”

As long as Wang Can can't leave Xiangyang and doesn't dare to show his face publicly, the news that Wang Can was killed is true. If Wang Can wants to prove that he is not dead, he will definitely show up, and when the time comes, we will send troops to surround and kill Wang Can, and we can really kill Wang Can. ”

Kuai Liang talked eloquently, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The rumors in his plan were actually to force Wang Can to show up, and then kill Wang Can.

After Liu Biao heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, just follow Zirou's plan." ”

……

After Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Yi returned to the Yi mansion, Sun Qian immediately inquired about the situation.

In the end, Sun Qian was disappointed.

After working for most of the day, he didn't catch Wang Can.

In the study, Sun Gan looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Liu Xian is forcing you to leave Xiangyang, the situation is not good, what should we do?" ”

If Liu Bei left Xiangyang, it would be difficult to succeed in the big things he planned.

At this time, the eyes of Yi Yuan, Liu Bei and Sun Qian all looked at Zhuge Liang. According to Zhuge Liang, Liu Biao will die soon, but Liu Biao is still alive and bounced, and there is no sign of death.

Can Zhuge Liang's speculation be realized?

This is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

Zhuge Liang glanced at the three of them, then his eyes fell on Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you wait another day or two, Liu Biao will die of illness." Liu Biao asked you to go to the front line, and you made a show and went to the front line with your escort. However, after you go north, you will definitely join up with the soldiers who have returned secretly, and when the time comes, you will immediately come back, and as soon as your army arrives, Liu Biao will die. ”

With a puzzled expression, Yi Yuan said suspiciously: "Kong Ming, you can't be joking." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Jibo, when have I ever joked. ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words and said firmly: "Okay, just do things according to Mr.'s method." Anyway, we have nothing to do if we stay in Xiangyang, and we can't find a chance to take Xiangyang, so it's better to gamble. ”

The four of them kept muttering, discussing how to take Jingzhou. As for Zhuge Liang's death of Liu Biao, for Liu Bei, Sun Gan and Yi Yuan, they all felt very mysterious.

Liu Biao, is he really going to die?

Yi, Liu Bei, and Sun Qian believed in Zhuge Liang, but they didn't understand where Zhuge Liang's confidence came from.

On the same day, after Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang discussed countermeasures, they took joint action and immediately ordered all the checkpoints around Xiangyang to be placed under martial law and strictly investigate those who looked similar to Wang Can.

For a time, the situation inside and outside Xiangyang City was very tense, and there were soldiers everywhere searching for Wang Can.

In many places, you can see soldiers everywhere,

At this time, Liu Bei left Xiangyang under the protection of the soldiers.
