The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372 Liu Cong's Anger

In Jia Xu's room, a group of people were sitting, including counselors and generals. Sitting in the middle was Dongfang Sheng, and Jia Xu was sitting next to Dongfang Sheng on a rocking chair.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, Jia Xu coughed lightly and said: "The specific situation is this, one of the scout battalion in Jingzhou broke into Liu Cong's personal army, and he sent a message about Liu Cong's expression towards Liu Bei. Very dissatisfied."

"Then let's unite with Liu Cong to get rid of Liu Bei, who is a big leaker." Badao was the first to speak.

"Don't forget, there is another Jiangdong Sun family who also participated." Jia Xu reminded.

"The Sun Clan in Jiangdong sent quite enough troops this time." Dongfang Sheng added, "And the commander is Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's former subordinate. Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce's other main adviser, is in Jiangdong."

Dongfang Sheng's voice was a little tired. The first thing he did after he came back these days was to arrange for people to send condolences to the homes of all the soldiers who died in battle, and to arrange the lives of the families of all the soldiers who died in battle. He basically did all of this in person. participated in.

It was this attitude that made Dongfang Sheng's subordinates, from soldiers to generals to counselors, not swear allegiance to him to the death, because Dongfang Sheng not only gave them good living conditions and generous military pay, but also solved their problems after they died in battle.

So although Dongfang Sheng was defeated this time, through his aftermath handling, more young people came to Yizhou to sign up for the army. Of course, Dongfang Sheng also adopted the screening system as always, not everyone wanted it.

"I think my lord should wait and see what happens. Cao Mengde is sending troops to Jingzhou and see how they deal with it before making any plans." A native Yizhou official suggested.

"Well, I really need to recuperate recently, how about this, I will go to Jingzhou to see the situation in person, and find out the details of Liu Cong by the way." Dongfang Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty must not!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Only Jia Xu and Badao sighed, they knew that once Dongfang Sheng said it, they would definitely do it.

Dongfang Sheng's gaze has already surpassed everyone and set it in the distance: Jingzhou.

At this time, Jingzhou was on fire again. Although Cao Cao made a false attack, when he heard the news of Liu Biao's death, he immediately turned the false attack into a real attack.

Once again, Liu Bei took the responsibility of uniting Zhou Yu to fight against Cao Jun. The final result is also self-evident. Cao Jun came from afar, and changed his plan hastily. Naturally, he returned in a disastrous defeat.

This time, Liu Bei's reputation suddenly became unbelievable. He defeated two of the most powerful princes in a row, and after winning the battle, he even talked about returning to Xinye to continue guarding. This kindness made the people and even the officials of Jingzhou tearful.

Of course, except for Liu Cong, he was already on the verge of breaking out at this time.

Liu Bei said that he wanted to go back to Xinye, but in fact he not only did not intend to return to Xinye at all, but also led troops into the city, just like a Jingzhou shepherd, receiving officials from all over Jingzhou who came to thank him.

"Liu Cong, don't you look ugly with a bitter face on such a day?" Cai Mao scolded Liu Cong directly when he saw Liu Cong's bitter face.

Because Cai Mao's second sister married Liu Biao as his successor, and Mrs. Cai was not only Liu Cong's mother in name, but her niece married Liu Cong directly. His attitude is sometimes respectful and sometimes arrogant.

Liu Cong didn't have the guts to get angry with Cai Mao. Firstly, Cai Mao could be regarded as his uncle and an elder. Secondly, Cai Mao himself was a common surname of the local gentry, so his strength should not be underestimated.

"Uncle, if this continues, who will this Jingzhou belong to?" Liu Cong asked in a low voice.

Cai Mao frowned and scolded Liu Cong inwardly at this moment, which pot would not be opened and which pot to carry. At the same time, he glanced at Liu Bei and found that he was not paying attention to him before he said cautiously: "What are you doing? Uncle Liu Huang worked so hard. He helped us defeat Yizhou Mu Dongfangsheng and Cao Cao, didn't he also say he wants to go back to Xinye to guard, don't think too much here."

For Cai Mao, it doesn't matter who is in charge, as long as he can maintain his prosperity and wealth.

"I see, Uncle." Liu Cong responded with his mouth, but in his heart he hated Liu Bei very much. He just suffered from lack of strength and could only act in a hurry.

Seeing what Liu Cong said, Cai Mao nodded slightly and said: "It's good that you know, remember to treat those officials from all over the place well, they are the root of Jingzhou."

Liu Cong looked back, all the Jingzhou officials who came from all over surrounded Liu Bei alone, and no one came to say hello to himself, the current Jingzhou shepherd.

Liu Bei!I want you to die!Liu Cong shouted in his heart.

Not long after the banquet started, Liu Cong drank alone. Liu Bei, who seemed to be the center, was too busy to take care of himself, and of course he had no time to pay attention to Liu Cong.

Three days later, Liu Bei met an assassin in Yuan County. According to rumors, the assassin was influenced by Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and left after following Liu Bei for dozens of days.

In Liu Cong's mansion, Liu Cong was extremely annoyed and smashed everything he could see.

Failed, failed!Liu Cong knew that it was impossible for an assassin to be influenced by Liu Bei. He was looking for the most mysterious and powerful assassin alliance of the big man, and it was impossible to find this alliance without any relationship.

Liu Cong found it relying on the hint left by Liu Biao, but unexpectedly failed.

Can I just sit and wait for Liu Bei to take over my Jingzhou?Liu Cong knelt on the mat, wanting to cry without tears. These days, he has also seen clearly the performance of Cai Mao's gentry. What they care about most is their status and wealth. It doesn't matter.

Bang!Bang!
When the door was knocked, Liu Cong shouted impatiently: "Don't bother me, I've already said it!"

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and a healthy young man came in.

Liu Cong sized up the young man, and suddenly pointed to him with some fear and asked, "You...are you?"

"Yizhou Mu, Dongfang Sheng." The visitor introduced himself briefly and said with a smile.

"The defeated general dares to come to my Jingzhou. If you didn't run fast last time, I'm afraid you will die in Jingzhou." Liu Cong mocked without hesitation.

Dongfang Sheng was not angry, but just looked at Liu Cong, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing? All your soldiers are dead, and you fled back with a dozen of your own soldiers. What right do you have to laugh at me!" Liu Cong shouted hysterically.

"I sigh because Liu Jingsheng's foundation will eventually be lost, and even his son will die at the hands of others." Dongfang Sheng's eyes were like a sharp knife piercing Liu Cong's eyes.

Liu Cong suddenly felt afraid to look directly at Dongfang Sheng. He calmed down and said, "Hey, what can I do? Now that Liu Bei is in full swing, I have no military power and no advisers to advise me. I can only wait for Liu Bei to accept it." Jingzhou is now."
