Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 542 Liu Biao Ready to Move

While Cao Cao was preparing to deal with the Wuhuan people and the Yuan brothers, Liu Biao, who was far away in Xiangyang, also became a little restless.

At this moment, Liu Biao is in the State Shepherd's Mansion in Xiangyang City, discussing the current general situation with Xu Shu, his aide who has recently defected to him.

Liu Biao was very satisfied with Xu Shu's far-sightedness, foresight and extensive knowledge.

The two of them were chatting excitedly, but they didn't want Cai Mao, the commander of Jingzhou's navy, to suddenly barge in.

Cai Mao seemed anxious, as if he had something very important to report to Liu Biao.

But Cai Mao took a look at Xu Shu, but kept silent, as if he was a little scruples about his existence.

Seeing this, Liu Biao waved his hand graciously and said, "Xu Yuanzhi is Mr. Shui Jing's disciple, and he is a rare man of wisdom and far-sightedness in the world today. He is not an outsider. Desi, if you have something to say, just say it."

When Cai Mao heard this, he no longer hesitated.

He came to Liu Biao and said, "My lord, our spies lurking in the north have just sent back news that Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, have opened the gate of Youzhou and let the Wuhuan people enter Youzhou a month ago. Brothers are trying to unite with the Wuhuan people to fight Cao Cao to the death in Youzhou!"

"What did you say?"

"what???"

Liu Biao and Xu Shu were stunned, let the Wuhuan people enter Youzhou?Wouldn't that put a group of hungry wolves into the sheepfold? ? ?

Cai Hao waited for Liu Biao and Xu Shu to digest the information, and then continued: "The Wuhuan people have 20 to [-] cavalry, plus the [-] to [-] soldiers in the hands of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, the number of coalition forces seems to have exceeded [-].

In this way, if Cao Cao wants to defeat the Yuan family and the Wuhuan people, he must come out with all his strength, otherwise he will only be strangled by the joint forces of the Yuan family and Wuhuan! "

Liu Biao looked a little puzzled, and he asked Xu Shu, "I remember that Wuhuan is just a small tribe on the grassland. When will they be able to produce 10,000+ soldiers at a time?"

Xu Shu obviously knew something about it a long time ago. Facing Liu Biao's question, Xu Shu calmly replied: "Liu Jingzhou has something to know. has been greatly developed.

The leader of the Wuhuan people, Tadun, has a great talent and great strategy. He has unified the three counties of Wuhuan under his iron fist. Therefore, Wuhuan today is no longer what it used to be. They have even overwhelmed the Xianbei and the Xiongnu. It has become the largest force in the northern grassland forces! "

After hearing Xu Shu's explanation, Liu Biao and Cai Mao suddenly said, "So that's how it is!"

After Xu Shu waited for Liu Biao and Cai Mao to recover, he continued, "Shu is a little worried that the Wuhuan people will go south in a big way, and their ambition may not stop at Youzhou."

Liu Biao frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Yuan Zhi, what do you mean, these barbarians dare to covet my heartland?"

"I'm afraid they have that intention!" Xu Shu replied decisively.

With a snap, Liu Biao slapped the "precious" special customized glass on the table, which made even Cai Mao, who had a lot of money, couldn't help but twitch his brows.

Liu Biao hurriedly asked Xu Shu angrily, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think we should do to defeat the ambitions of those barbarians?"

However, before Xu Shu could answer, Cai Mao suddenly said: "Master, now is not the time for us to pay attention to those Wuhuan people!"

"Huh?" Liu Biao turned his head in doubt, looked at Cai Mao and asked, "Degui, do you have any other ideas?"

"Of course!" Cai Mao narrowed his eyes suddenly, revealing a sinister look, and said, "Think about it, my lord, now that Cao Cao is rushing to Youzhou, Nanyang County and even Yingchuan must be empty!
As long as we unite with Sun Quan to launch a surprise attack, then Cao Cao will definitely not be able to look at each other head to tail, and we can take the opportunity to welcome the emperor back, and the great cause can be expected! "

After listening to Cai Mao's suggestion, Liu Biao suddenly felt that what this guy said had some truth, so he fell into deep thought.

However, Xu Shu's face changed when he heard this, and he resolutely dissuaded him: "My lord, don't!"

Liu Biao's heart was a little moved just now, but Xu Shu dissuaded him, and suddenly asked with some displeasure: "What does Yuan Zhi mean? Why not?"

"Cao Cao's move is to fight against foreign enemies for the great man. If Liu Jingzhou took the opportunity to attack Cao Cao, then you have lost your righteousness!
If you lose the righteousness of the nation, you will not only be cast aside by the scholar-bureaucrats, but also the common people will gradually alienate you
This disadvantage is too serious! "

Seeing that his proposal was dismissed as worthless by Xu Shu, Cai Mao suddenly became a little annoyed and said, "What is your identity, can you represent the family's thoughts?"

To be honest, just now when Cai Mao made a suggestion and Liu expressed hesitation, Xu Shu already felt a little chilled in his heart.

At this moment, Cai Mao pointed to his nose and questioned him again. Xu Shu, who has always had a strong temper, naturally couldn't bear it anymore.

Xu Shu stood up, and said to Cai Mao neither humble nor overbearing: "Xu is just a man from the mountains, neither can he represent the family, nor can he represent the common people."

When Cai Mao heard that he turned out to be a savage, he immediately said even more bluntly: "Then you still have the face to stay here? Do you know that standing in front of you is the current royal family and the most powerful family in Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao still cherishes Xu Shu's talent, but he still has some concerns about Xu Shu's identity in his heart, which is why he has been only asked to serve as an aide without any real official position.

Now that Xu Shu and Cai Mao had fallen out, Liu Biao didn't know how to persuade him.

Seeing that Liu Biao remained silent, Xu Shu's last illusion about Liu Biao disappeared.He bowed to Liu Biao and said, "Thank you Liu Jingzhou for your hospitality and trust in recent days. I am not a talented student, and I know that I am not qualified for the post of a staff member, so I ask Liu Jingzhou to allow me to leave and return home."

Cai Mao sneered disdainfully, "If you don't understand the shit, what about the staff?"

Xu Shu turned a blind eye and listened but stared at Liu Biao.

Seeing that Xu Shu was determined to leave, Liu Biao first scolded Cai Mao symbolically in order to show his elegance, "Degui, how can you talk to a guest like that?" Your own people become guests.
"Hmph!" Cai Mao snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Liu Biao went on to say, "Since Yuan Zhi has made up his mind, it's inconvenient for someone to force him."

Afterwards, Liu Biao shouted to the outside again: "Come here, give Xu Yuanzhi a hundred taels of gold and a fine horse!"

"Thank you Liu Jingzhou for your kindness, Xu deserves it, so I will take my leave!"

Xu Shu is a little desperate now, he hates himself for being so obsessed with ghosts, and promised Zhuge Jin to come out of the mountain to help Liu Biao?

"This Liu Biao is good but can't be used, evil and can't go away, he can't control the generals from the outside, and can't manage the house from the inside. Sooner or later, there will be disasters. I promised Zhuge Ziyu to go out to help Liu Biao. I was really blind!"

When he came outside the city of Jingzhou, Xu Shu looked up to the sky and sighed, "The world is so big, where is my home, Xu Yuanzhi?"

"Although the world is big, only Prime Minister Cao is the hero who will help the building and turn the tide!"

Xu Shu was taken aback by the sudden words.

He turned around, looked at the man, and asked, "Your Excellency?"

"You can call me Zhou Hong!"
