Xiangyang, inside the royal palace. （_）

Liu Bei was very unhappy and was furious, and the guards outside the hall heard Liu Bei's roar and the sound of bamboo slips and other items falling to the ground, and they trembled with fright, and stood guard with twelve points of spirit.

When Zhuge Liang took control of Xiangyang City, he imprisoned Cai Mao, Liu Xian, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang. Liu Bei took over Xiangyang and immediately went to Kuaifu and Cai Mansion to visit Cai Mao and others, and finally visited Liu Xian. He gave enough face to the four people, and he was kind enough to win them over, wanting to take them for his own use.

However, Liu Bei touched his nose and caught nothing.

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang gently rejected Liu Bei's request, Cai Mao couldn't help but get sick, Liu Xian had a strong temperament, scolded Liu Bei for being a thief, a white-eyed wolf, and scolded Liu Bei for being a bloody dog.

Even though Liu Bei has a good temper, it is difficult to calm down in the face of four uncooperative people.

At this time, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Zhuge Liang was wearing a white robe, holding a feather fan, and strode in. He respectfully saluted Liu Bei, and then arched his hand and asked, "Lord, why are you angry?" ”

Liu Bei said angrily: "Kong Ming, you know the situation, why do you ask knowingly?" ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang asked knowingly, Liu Bei was a little unhappy in his heart.

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, according to the humble opinion, Kuai Yue and others are better off if they don't come out. The Kuai family and the Cai family have deep roots and intertwined power, and if Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao enter the court as officials, it will be difficult for the lord to control it. Now that they have wisely chosen not to go out, the lord can send troops to imprison them, control these Jingxiang big families, and slowly disintegrate their forces, so as to unify Jingxiang, which is a good thing. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, his brows furrowed.

However, Liu Bei shook his head slightly and said: "Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are talented, if the two of them don't come out, it's a pity; Cai Mao was born in Jingxiang and grew up in Jingxiang, and has a lot of insight into the training of the navy. Liu Xian's name shocked Jingxiang, with Liu Xian's investment, we can more smoothly gather Jingxiang celebrities and enhance our strength, but unfortunately they are not used by me. ”

Liu Bei sighed again and again, very disappointed.

Although Zhuge Liang's words have a certain amount of truth, Liu Bei also has his own plans.

Liu Bei sighed with emotion and asked again, "Kong Ming, is there something wrong?" "Zhuge Liang has the military and political power, and there are many affairs, so he rarely has time. Now Zhuge Liang came to Liu Bei in person, obviously there was something important.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Lord, Liang came to find the lord, and there is indeed a great joy to tell the lord." ”

Liu Bei was aroused by curiosity, and hurriedly asked, "Kong Ming, what good news?" ”

Zhuge Liang said mysteriously: "The lord has a queen!" ”

"What?"

After Liu Bei heard this, his body stiffened suddenly, his mouth opened slightly, and his face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His brow twitched, and his eyes kept rolling.

Immediately, Liu Bei's eyes turned red, and his body trembled constantly.

Zhuge Liang repeated: "Lord, you have a queen. ”

Liu Bei stood up suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and said with great joy: "The ancestors and the ancestors are blessed, and there is finally a future, and someone can inherit the incense of the Liu family." Liu Bei was so happy that he was almost crazy, very excited, as if it was Fan Jinzhongju. Among the princes in the world, Wang Can, Sun Jian and Cao Cao all have descendants, but he has no heirs, which is something Liu Bei is very worried about.

Now, he Liu Bei finally has a queen.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and asked, "Kong Ming, how do you know about this, I don't know yet?" ”

Zhuge Liang explained with a smile: "The lord's family has just arrived in Xiangyang, and on the way, the lord's concubine is not feeling well, and after asking the medical officer to diagnose it, he found out that the lord's concubine is pregnant. Congratulations, congratulations to my lord. ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "It should be that after I arrived in Xiangyang, one of the dancers given by Liu Biao was pregnant. Okay, okay, I, Liu Bei, finally have a queen. Passed the decree and crowned this woman as a lady. "According to the ancient rites, the princes and kings have a queen, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one female queens, and the pregnant dancing girl has directly changed from the lowest thin-life woman to one of the three ladies of the harem.

But Liu Bei didn't care about this, he began to think in his heart that if he could give birth to a baby boy, he could become a son. Liu Bei was a father for the first time, and his heart was full of joy and joy.

After a pause, Liu Bei instructed: "Kong Ming, you gather hundreds of civil and military officials, and I will hold a banquet to celebrate." ”

"No!"

Zhuge Liang knew the benefits of Liu Bei's future, and he was also very happy, because after Liu Bei had an heir, it was enough to make the interests of Liu Bei's group more secure.

"Click! Click! Click! ”

Just as Zhuge Liang turned around and was about to leave, Yi Yuan hurriedly ran in. He looked hurried, with a worried look on his face, and when he saw Zhuge Liang walking out, he waved his hand to signal Zhuge Liang to stop.

Yi Yuan bowed down and said: "Humble Yi nationality, I have seen the lord." ”

When Zhuge Liang saw Yi Yuan like this, a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart.

Zhuge Liang stopped, turned and returned.

Liu Bei saw that Yi was in a hurry, frowned and asked, "Uncle Ji, see you are panicking, what happened?" ”

Yi Yuan arched his hand and said, "My lord, there are three things that have been passed back. One is that Zhang Yun and Wen Ping led the soldiers to return to the Shu army, and the Shu army joined forces to attack the army led by the three generals. The second is that Sun Jian reneged on Liu Biao's covenant, led his army to turn around and returned, and was attacking Jiangxia County with all his might; The third is that Cao Cao also reneged on the covenant and led his troops to attack the territory north of Jingzhou, and began to gradually encroach on the land of Jingbei. ”

"Smack!"

Liu Biao's face changed greatly, and he slammed his fist on the desk.

He was about to hold a feast just now, but now he didn't have any thoughts of rejoicing. Sun Jian and Cao Cao became wolves, and Wang Can's Shu army killed them like wolves, which simply dealt Liu Bei a big blow.

Liu Bei stabilized his impetuous mood and asked, "Kong Ming, the situation is dangerous, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang also felt that the situation was critical in his heart, but there was no panic on his face, and he said unhurriedly: "Lord, we should immediately gather civil and military officials and arrange an army, otherwise we will be in danger." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Uncle Ji, you go and pass on the decree and convene civil and military officials to discuss the matter." ”

"No!"

Yi nodded in response, and immediately turned to leave.

Liu Bei had no idea of going to see his woman, and took Zhuge Liang directly towards the main hall. Along the way, both of them were discussing how to resist the Shu army and how to defuse the offensive of Sun Jian and Cao Cao.

……

Hero Building, Wang Can got the news from Lu Meng's army.

Lü Meng subdued Wen Ping and Zhang Yun and led the army south, Wang Can was overjoyed, but then Wang Can had to act as soon as possible, otherwise Lü Meng's army was approaching Xiangyang, and then he could only attack.

As the capital of Chu State, Xiangyang is much stronger than Wancheng, Nanzheng, Huaili and other cities, and is far from being comparable to other cities. The most important thing is that Xiangyang is located in the south, and there are many rivers passing through it, among which the Han River and Xiangshui pass here, so Xiangyang not only built a strong city, but also surrounded by a moat, which increased the difficulty of attacking the city.

It can be said that it is almost impossible for Lü Meng's 80,000 soldiers to capture Xiangyang.

Therefore, Wang Can's action is imperative.

Wang Can asked in a deep voice, "Wu Huang, how are you preparing to sneak into the Cai family?" Cai Mao was Wang Can's first target, so Wang Can asked Wu Huang to prepare very early to infiltrate Cai's house.

Wu Huang said: "Don't worry, the humble post has opened up the joints, and we entered the Cai family through the people who delivered the food." ”

Wang Can immediately asked, "What time is it?" ”

Wu Huang replied: "The people who deliver the food usually go to the Cai Mansion early in the morning, so early tomorrow morning, the lord and the senior brother will change their appearance, pretend to be the little guy who delivers the food, and enter the Cai Mansion directly." ”

Wang Can nodded, and then he was relieved.

With careful preparation, there was enough time to convince Cai Mao.
