After arranging Kong Rong's affairs, Liu Biao focused on the matter of establishing the crown prince, only when the position of the prince was determined, Jingzhou could be more stable, no matter what, he was the emperor of the Han family.

Let's say that after Liu Bei led the troops to Xinye, he did not commit any offence against the people, but he also had a good reputation among the people.

Needless to say, recruiting troops and hoarding grain and grass, Liu Bei feels that the most urgent thing at the moment is the strategist, and the reason why he retreated from Xuzhou is largely because there are no top strategists, although Chen Deng has a certain strategy, but compared with the strategists under Cao Cao, it is not a star and a half, which makes him realize the importance of strategists.

There are fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the army, Liu Bei is not worried, as long as he can stabilize in Xinye, it is very simple to have a new army and horses, in the troubled times, the most important thing is the people, how many people take risks for a mouthful of food, joining the army is a good choice in the eyes of many people.

Liu Bei naturally knew that Liu Biao was using him by stationing him in Xinye, and why didn't he have the intention of using Liu Biao, Liu Biao was already dying, and it was unknown what the situation in Jingzhou would be in the future.

After staying in Xinye for a while, Liu Bei heard the name of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, although the two of them have not been outstanding, in the land of Jingxiang, they already have a great name, at first Liu Bei did not agree with the statement that "the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks have one person to settle the world", no matter how smart the two are, they have never stepped into the career of the scholar, and a strategist wants to really stand at the peak, it is necessary to hone more.

However, when he heard that Zhuge Liang had praised the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Jin had recruited Zhuge Liang many times without success, he was tempted by Zhuge Liang, what kind of character Lu Bu was, judging from Lu Bu's past behavior, as long as it was the person recruited by Lu Bu, they all had certain skills, such as Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, who were not famous in Jingzhou before, and they shined after arriving in Bingzhou, among which Huang Zhong became the commander of the Lieyang Archers, and made contributions on the battlefields of Youzhou and the grassland.

Lu Bu attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang, which shows that Zhuge Liang has great talents, if there is such a person to help, Liu Bei can be regarded as a strategist.

After settling the city, Liu Bei decided to quietly go to Xiangyang once.

"My lord, as soon as I posted the notice of recruitment, a literati came and wanted to see my lord." Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his voice, his words were quite excited, "This person is still shouting something like heaven and earth." ”

Liu Bei's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly invite this person here, no, the official will go in person." He even suspected that this person was the Wolong and Phoenix Chick of Jingxiang.

After Liu Bei saw the visitors saluting each other, Liu Bei asked, "Dare to ask your Excellency what your surname is?" ”

"A certain person is also a person on the Ying, with a single surname and a single name, and he heard that Jun is recruiting talents in Xinye, and he wants to come to entrust him." Shan Fu Dao.

After the two talked for a long time, Liu Bei was impressed by Shan Fu's talent, and asked: "I heard that Jingxiang has a sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, I don't know if Mr. knows these two?" ”

"These two people have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, if the lord can get their help, great things can be done." Shan Fu said with a smile, and there was a lot of praise for the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks between his words.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sir, do you know where these two are?" ”

Seeing that Liu Bei attached a lot of importance to the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, Shan Fu was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and he took refuge in Liu Bei in order to be able to make contributions in troubled times, and Liu Bei was quite famous in the world, and he was the queen of the Han family.

As if sensing the loss in Shan Fu's expression, Liu Bei said: "I am grateful to be able to get Mr. to vote, presumably Mr. also knows that there is a lack of talents under his command." ”

Shan Fu said: "Feng Xiao is Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, he went to Jinyang this year, but he did not return to Jingzhou, presumably he traveled elsewhere, Wolong is Zhuge Zhuge Kongming, and now lives in Shuijing Villa outside Xiangyang City, so that you can know after a little inquiry after you go." ”

"Thank you, sir, in the future, Mr. will prepare the military division." Liu Bei said.

Shan Fu thanked him, he valued Liu Bei's potential.

"Big brother, the Holy Lord sent a letter inviting the eldest brother to Xiangyang for a banquet." Guan Yu walked into the hall and said in a low voice.

Liu Bei introduced Shan Fu: "This is the second brother of Bei, surnamed Guan Mingyu, the word cloud is long, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, this is Mr. Shan Fu, who has just been appointed as a military advisor." ”

After Guan Yu glanced at Shan Fu, he stepped forward to salute.

Shan Fu hurriedly returned the salute, he had naturally heard of Guan Yu's name.

"Sir, the Holy Lord sent a messenger to invite Bei to Xiangyang for a banquet, and in the affairs of the city, Mr. Lao will assist Yunchang and Yide." Liu Bei said, after all, Xinye is where he has just gained a foothold, Shan Fu has just come to take refuge, and Liu Bei can't have much trust.

"Envoy, the Holy Lord invites you to Xiangyang at this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems, so you should make plans as soon as possible." Shan Fu Dao.

Liu Bei was puzzled: "What do you mean by what Mr. said?" ”

"The saint is old, and he invited the envoy to Xiangyang again, it is nothing more than for the prince's business, when he heard that the envoy was in Xiangyang, he had seen the eldest prince Liu Qi, and he must be afraid of the Cai family."

Liu Bei was shocked, he had seen Liu Qi in Xiangyang, it can be said that he had done it very secretly, how did Shan Fu know.

"The prince, the position of the crown prince is very important, after the eldest prince returned to Xiangyang, there are countless people who secretly monitor, and the matter that the prince has seen the eldest prince has already spread among the officials in Jingzhou." Shan Fu explained.

"I hope Mr. will teach me." Liu Bei arched his hand.

"There are two fierce generals under the king's account, and only one of them needs to secretly order one of them to lead the cavalry to respond, and on the banquet, the king should be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise there will be a disaster of death." Shan Fu Dao.

Let's say that after Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ordered 300 cavalry and went to Xiangyang together, Liu Bei remembered Shan Fu's words, and at the banquet, he was cautious, but there were no other mistakes.

Liu Bei's arrival made Cai Mao feel uneasy, Liu Bei has a good reputation, and is a member of the Han family, from Liu Biao's look can be seen that he attaches great importance to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will meet Liu Qi soon after entering Xiangyang, such a person, if he supports Liu Qi as the prince, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble, but before the situation is clear, he does not plan to make a move.

At this time, Cai Mao's most urgent thing to do is to win the support of the princes, Lu Bu has secretly promised to hold Liu Cong to become the prince, although he is quite jealous of the state, he was even more eager to listen to Kuai Liang's advice, look back and think about it, let Cai Mao regret it, and now the Cai family in Jingzhou is becoming stronger and stronger, the most urgent thing to do is to make friends with the princes, before cooperating with Lu Bu, the Cai family has gained a lot of benefits, and has steadily suppressed the Kuai family in Jingzhou.
