"If Liu Jiaozhou does not send troops, there is a chance that Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, will capture Jingzhou, so as to become a first-class prince and have the capital to compete for hegemony."

Huang Chengyan's eyes flashed with a gleam, his words were said on purpose, because there is only one Jingzhou, but it is related to the future of Liu Bei and Lu Bu.

Whether it is Zhao Wang Lu Bu or Jiaozhou Mu Liu Bei, they will not give up, because they know what Jingzhou represents for them.

……

"Cheng Yangong rest assured, Beihui will send 50,000 troops north to Jingzhou."

In the end, Liu Bei still made a decision, because he knew that whether Jingzhou was obtained or not would represent whether he could participate in the competition of Kyushu in the Central Plains.

Ninety-five supreme, reigning in the world.

No one can resist such a temptation, and Liu Bei, who has been poor since childhood, can't. The four words of getting ahead have run through Liu Bei's life, and it is precisely because of this that he has decided so firmly.

……

Sending Huang Chengyan away, Liu Bei at this moment also calmed down, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, turned his head to look at Chen Zhi at the door, and said.

"Uncle Zhi, inform the military advisor and General Guan, and General Ma will come to the state pastoral mansion immediately."

"No."

……

Huang Chengyan left, leaving with the news he hoped for the most. But Liu Bei knew in his heart that sending troops was not a matter of one person, and his decision alone had no effect.

……

"Third brother, do you see it?"

A touch of murderous intent flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and his tone became extremely ruthless, looking at the north and saying word by word.

"Brother Wei already has a foothold, if time is given to brother, he will definitely lead a million army to break through Fushi County, and kill Qin Hou Yingfei to avenge you."

Zhang Fei's death has always been the biggest injury in Liu Bei's heart, because from the beginning, Zhang Fei sold his property to follow him to fight in the Quartet, but died in the hands of Qin Hou Yingfei.

The revenge of killing my brother is not shared.

……

This hatred has always been hidden in Liu Bei's heart, even Guan Yu has never mentioned it. Regarding the prestige of Qin Hou Yingfei, he is naturally clear.

Not to mention his former self, even now he is not qualified to challenge Qin Hou Yingfei.

Once it is mentioned, it can only be sent to death by Guan Yu. Liu Bei knew that although Guan Yu was powerful, he was still not enough in front of Qin Hou Yingfei.

Dian Wei, Zhao Yun......

Each one is the enemy of all people.

……

Spanning the land of four states, with 500,000 armor, and tens of thousands of miles of power, this is the monstrous power of Qin Hou Yingfei, not to mention that Qin Hou Yingfei himself is a world-class commander who is unparalleled in the world.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that in the face of such a Qin Hou Yingfei, he could not do anything at all. If you want to avenge Zhang Fei, you can only take Jiaozhou as the foundation and strive to strengthen yourself.

And now there is a best opportunity in front of him, as long as he gets the support of Confucianism, plus the annexation of the nine counties of Jingzhou, he will be the prince of the two states at that time.

Only in this way can he be qualified to compete with Qin Hou Yingfei and avenge his third brother Zhang Fei when the time comes.

What's more, the thoughts in his heart are about to move, and Liu Bei knows in his heart that even if there is no Zhang Fei, he will send troops to Jingzhou.

Ambitious, an ambition to compete with the princes from all over the world arose in Liu Bei's heart.

Because he was born a man, he should raise a three-foot sword to invite the world to fight.

……

"My lord."

Just as the thought flickered in Liu Bei's heart, Ma Chao, Guan Yu and others rushed to the state pastor's mansion one after another, and everyone's face showed a solemnity.

They knew in their hearts that there was nothing to do, and Liu Bei would definitely not summon them easily. Once convened, something earth-shattering must have happened.

Especially this time, the news that Jingzhou envoy Huang Chengyan went south has already spread throughout Jiaozhou, and Ma Chao and others are also clear.

They knew in their hearts that this time Liu Bei summoned them, it must have something to do with Huang Chengyan's southward movement.

……

"Hmm."

Nodding, Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao and the others and sat down, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said.

"Just now, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent an envoy Huang Chengyan to the state pastor's mansion and said: Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao invited our army to go north to Jingzhou to resist Zhao King Lu Bu together."

"What do you think about this?"

Although Liu Bei's words were aimed at everyone, his eyes kept falling on Heng Fan, because he knew that the only person who could give him advice here was the military advisor Heng Fan.

"Whew."

……

A gleam flashed in Heng Fan's eyes, and he thought about the reason why Huang Chengyan went south and what benefits he would get from going north.

At the same time, Benzhou Mu found that Huang Chengyan seemed to have a grudge against Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious at all. He even said that our army would go north, and if it occupied the Confucian Gate in Jingzhou, it would support our army. ”

……

After hearing Liu Bei's words, a smile flashed in Heng Fan's eyes, looked at Liu Bei, and said.

"My lord, judging from the current situation, there is a chance that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao will not be able to bear it."

"On the other hand, the army of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, has a strong attack power and is pressing forward step by step. At the same time, since Jingzhou Mu sent an envoy to the south, he would definitely go east. ”

Heng Fan glanced at Liu Bei, pointed to the east and paused, and said: "The power of Chuhou Yuanshu is far above the lord, so Chuhou Yuanshu is the first choice of Jingzhou Mu."

"If the subordinates' guesses are correct, presumably this time Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's envoy will definitely go east to Chu Marquis Yuan Shu and go south to Jiaozhou."

"Because only then will there be a double guarantee."

Without giving Liu Bei any face, Heng Fan explained the situation of the war to Liu Bei and others, and then Heng Fan looked at Liu Bei and said.

"For example, the situation has become extremely obvious today, Qin Hou Yingfei has the greatest power, spanning the land of four states, with 500,000 armor, and tens of thousands of miles."

"And Hanhou Yuan Shaolian crossed the three states of Youji, Hebei and Qingdao, and took 300,000 armor to look at the world, intending to fight for the world in the south."

"Wei Hou Cao Cao led 200,000, sitting on Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and there are many military generals under his hands, plus Wei Hou is like a god with soldiers, he is a popular candidate for hegemony in the world and Kyushu."

After a pause, Heng Fan picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said.

"Similarly, today's Chuhou Yuan Shu also owns Yangzhou and Xuzhou, with 300,000 armor."

Speaking of this, Heng Fan glanced at Liu Bei and said, "For example, today only King Lu Bu of Zhao is left in the land of Guanzhong, Marquis of Wu is in Jiangdong, and the lord is dormant in the bitter cold of Jiaozhou."

"Marquis Wu and Sun Ce can be counted with Marquis of Chu, and now the lord and King Lu Bu of Zhao want to participate in this battle for hegemony, and the only way to do so is to annex Jingzhou."

"Whether it is the lord or the king of Zhao, Lu Bu, as long as he occupies the nine counties of Jingzhou, he will inevitably leap up and become a second-rate prince."

"At that time, whether it is against the unparalleled Marquis of Qin Yingfei or the Marquis of Chu Yuanshu, they will have the power to fight, and it is even possible to go north to Luoyang."
