Youzhou Mu Liu Zhan began a new round of dispatching troops and generals to prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Bei and other coalition forces. At the same time, Zhuge Kongming's alliance was finally completed and preparations were made for an alliance in Jingzhou. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is very high-spirited. As the leader of the six-party alliance, although he may not necessarily be able to mobilize other armies, it is at least a symbol and honor. In terms of military strength, Jingzhou is undoubtedly the largest party. If the war situation is favorable, it may be able to accomplish something. Now, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is gone, and the news has spread. In other words, now we can blatantly compete for hegemony, and maybe the future emperor will be born among these people. Who can sit on the throne of the emperor depends on his ability and perseverance until the end. As for now, let's deal with the newly rising power of Bingzhou Zhang Yan first. Although it is an alliance, everyone has their own little calculations. After this battle, I'm afraid they will part ways, or even turn against each other and become enemies immediately. Each of the six parties in the alliance has their own agenda, and they all know it, and their cooperation is only temporary. This kind of separation and reunification will be inevitable in the future. Everything is determined by interests, and there is no real friendship. Liu Biao abandoned his previous strategy after careful consideration. He did not think that Bingzhou Zhang Yan or Qingzhou had the ability to defeat the coalition forces. Bingzhou Zhang Yan's rise was too short, and the most important thing was that he had a poor foundation. It was absolutely impossible for a remnant of the Yellow Turbans to be recognized by the world. As for Qingzhou¡¯s Tian Yuanhao, his cooperation with Bingzhou was a mistake in itself. Therefore, Liu Biao did not attach much importance to Bingzhou and Qingzhou. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still strong, maybe Liu Biao will not come forward. However, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been defeated, giving the cunning Liu Biao a glimmer of hope. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were huddled together in Yuzhou, and their conditions were much worse than before. Regardless of the current number of troops or population density, Liu Biao's Jingzhou is infinitely more powerful than them. It was precisely after seeing the current situation that Liu Biao suddenly found that he had become the boss, and an excellent opportunity came. In the face of temptation, Liu Biao undoubtedly chose opportunism, making the old man want to have an erection. Liu Bei came and took Sun Guan to Jingzhou to participate in the alliance. Military strategist Zhuge Liang found a reason not to come and stayed at home. He felt that Jingzhou had no face to show up and could not afford to disgrace that person. However, Liu Biao did not come out to greet Liu Bei, but only arranged for Kuai Yue and others to come out to greet him. Moreover, the people in Jingzhou showed great enthusiasm for Liu Bei's absence. Liu Bei didn't understand why Kuai Yue and others were lukewarm, and he didn't pay much attention to it. It was probably because Zhuge Liang didn't mention it after he returned. Also, what can Zhuge Kongming say that Liu Bei shouldn't deceive him by pretending to be a descendant of the royal family? Cao Cao also participated in the alliance in person, and counselor Xun You accompanied Cao Cao to Jingzhou. In sharp contrast to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was personally greeted by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, with the same amount of courtesy when he arrived. The main figures from other companies were not present. Sun Ce had a feud with Liu Biao, and his father Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao. How could Sun Ce be present in person? It¡¯s already good to join the alliance. Therefore, the only person from Jiangdong who came to join the alliance was the handsome and handsome Zhou Yu. Yuan Shao sent Xu You to join the alliance, but for some reason, Xu You became very close to Cao Cao. Haha, maybe Xu You will star in another historical drama. Zhang Xiu did not attend the Jingzhou League. The representative of this party was the counselor Jia Xu. Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrived one after another. They met at the post house and exchanged pleasantries. They were both old acquaintances, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Liu Bei and Cao Cao had a drink and a discussion about heroes at the post house in Jingzhou. However, this time, the environment has changed when discussing heroes over wine. Liu Bei was no longer frightened when he was trapped under Cao Cao's hands, and he no longer had to pretend to be a man with no ambitions. There was no thunder, and Liu Bei didn't need to be frightened, so he could reminisce with Cao Cao on an equal footing. There is a small pavilion in the garden, equipped with bottles, green plums on a plate, and a bottle of boiled wine. The two of them sit across from each other and drink happily. Although Cao Cao lost Yanzhou in the early stage, his mood showed no signs of depression, and he was still talking and laughing. After all, he is a hero of his generation, and his magnanimity is unparalleled by ordinary people. Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao was in a good mood and thought to himself, it is admirable that Cao Cao has suffered a defeat and lost Yanzhou, but his fighting spirit is still strong. "Mr. Cao, it's a pity that Yanzhou was lost!" "Hey, I was careless! I didn't expect Zhang Yan, a yellow turban thief, to have such ambitions. I really didn't expect it at the beginning! The key is that Lu Bu didn't know how to get to Zhang Yan. I The generals under his command really can't stop Wenhou Lu Bu." Cao Cao and Liu Bei raised their bottles and sighed after drinking. "At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was impossible to achieve anything with such a huge momentum, let alone Zhang Yan. I think Zhang Yan probably had experts around him to give guidance, otherwise it would be difficult to explain." Liu Bei just inferred based on common sense, and his conclusion is reasonable. "Haha, victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. If you lose it today, you can take it back tomorrow. A dragon can be big or small. It can rise and disappear. If it is big, it will stir up clouds and spit out mist. If it is small, it will hide and hide its form. If it rises, it will soar in the universe and disappear. Then it is dormant in the waves. The dragon is like a hero in the world. Xuande has been around for a long time. Please try to point out the heroes. There are really unknown heroes in the world.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know their faces, but you also hear their names.¡± ¡°Can Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou be called heroes?¡± ¡°Huh, they are all dead bones in the grave!¡± I don¡¯t know.¡± Cao Cao raised his glass and invited Liu Xuande to drink it all in one gulp. "A hero is one who has great ambitions, has a good plan, has the opportunity to contain the universe, and has the ambition to swallow up the world." "Who can be that person?" Cao Cao pointed to Xuande, then pointed to himself and said: "Today's hero, But Xuande and Cao Er!" "Cao Gong deserves it, but Bei is worse. Haha Haha." Liu Bei laughed, and Cao Cao also laughed. The six alliances completed a set of alliance procedures and then discussed the details of sending troops. Zhuge Kongming had already planned the specific strategy. Arrange a small number of troops on both wings to attract the troops from Bingzhou and Qingzhou. The main force of the coalition forces breaks through in the middle, and then divides the troops to surround and surround the Qingzhou and Bingzhou troops. Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao expressed their intention to mobilize large armies to participate in the Central Eastern Expedition, which amounted to nearly 100,000 troops. Jia Xu also expressed that his side was willing to send 40,000 troops to attract Bingzhou troops in the north. Xu You, on behalf of Yuan Shao, expressed his willingness to attack Qingzhou eastward to disperse some of the enemy's forces. Jiangdong Sun Ce sent 60,000 troops to participate in the frontal attack. Jingzhou sent the largest number of troops, with a total of 80,000 troops, and also provided most of the food and grass. In total, the alliance's six-party army has more than 300,000 troops, which is not a tiny bit stronger than the Qingzhou and Bingzhou armies. It can be seen from the expressions of everyone present that their confidence is extremely high. Everything has been decided, Liu Biao, as the leader and host of the alliance, hosted a banquet in honor of the six allies. There were songs and dances in the hall, and Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others exchanged cups and talked loudly. The banquet here was at its peak, but someone came from outside to report that Jia Xu's messenger had arrived. It turned out that it was Zhang Xiu who sent someone to deliver a letter to Jia Xu. After sending the messenger away, Jia Xu opened the letter and took a look. It doesn't matter, Jia Xu's mouth is wide enough to put an egg in. This expression is as exaggerated as it needs to be. Jia Xu¡¯s expression made everyone present happy. What exactly did the letter say that made Jia Xu make such an expression? After Jia Xu finished reading the letter, he looked up and saw that everyone here was looking at him and smiled sheepishly. "Hey, I'm sorry, my general Zhang sent me a letter. The content is a bit surprising. Don't blame me, don't blame me! Haha." In order to cover up his embarrassment, Jia Xu laughed a few times. Cao Cao was a little curious and asked: "What content in the letter surprised Wen He so much?" "Here ahem, it's Ma Teng from Liangzhou who entered the Central Plains." "Oh, Ma Teng from Liangzhou entered the Central Plains?" What's all this fuss about? Wen He shouldn't be so surprised, right? " "Haha, it's mainly because Ma Teng's army, Chen Bing, is behind us, threatening the safety of our army." "Oh, what do you mean, Ma Teng is planning to fight with us. Are the coalition forces the enemy? " "Introduction it's hard to tell!" The more Jia Wenhe didn't say anything, the more curious everyone became and the more they wanted to know the content of the letter. The host Liu Biao couldn't stand it anymore and asked. "Wenhe, what does Xiliang Ma Teng's march into the Central Plains mean? Isn't it really convenient to tell you?" As even the host and the leader of the Six-Party Alliance Liu Biao asked, Jia Wenhe couldn't hold back any longer. explain. However, the matter did not change, and Jia Xu simply handed the letter to Cao Cao, who was close to him. I thought to myself, I won¡¯t tell you, you can see for yourself. Cao Cao took the letter and took a closer look. The expression on his face began to change. It was the same as Jia Xu's expression just now. The expression of surprise was incomparable. After reading the letter, Cao Cao glanced meaningfully at Liu Bei opposite him, without saying anything, he handed the letter directly to Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao. The scene is very strange. The person who has read the letter does not say anything and passes it directly to the next person. It is enough to whet the appetite of those who have not seen the content of the letter. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao¡¯s expression was not much better.He opened his mouth wide and did not speak for a long time after reading the letter. Liu Biao was very confused. This pass was so damn tricky! It is best not to make this matter explicit, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and confusion. Liu Biao thought for a moment, and instead of passing the letter on, he asked his men to return the letter to Jia Xu. Jia Xu simply took the letter and sent it directly to Huo Zhuyi. Hey, he burned the letter. Liu Bei was stunned for a while, I haven't seen it here yet! Oh, and Zhou Yu and Xu You didn¡¯t watch either. Let me tell you isn't it a bit excessive? Liu Xuande looked at Zhou Yu and Xu You. The status of these two people was a little worse than those here. After all, they were counselors, not the real leaders, so it was hard to say anything. Liu Bei opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Liu Biao was very satisfied with Jia Xu's move. He nodded and said, "It's getting late. Let's clean up and go back quickly. Don't delay the gathering of the army." The feast came to an abrupt end, leaving everyone confused. r1152
