Pei Qing's continuous military victory and continuous improvement in official titles have already shocked the world, especially recently Pei Qing came to Luoyang to serve as the prime minister of the Han Empire and held military and political power. This made him even more worried, because he knew that Pei Qing had unified the entire Central Plains region, and now there is only one Jingzhou left in Jiangbei, and Pei Qing's spearhead will definitely target his Jingzhou.

"My Jingzhou is now weak and is under pressure from Liu Zhang and Sun Ce. In this case, there is almost no possibility of fighting Pei Qing. However, it is not realistic to let me hand over the military power. I have been struggling for so many years to have the current foundation. How can I deliver it to others?"

So Liu Biao summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time ordered Wenpeng to guard against Pei Qing's attack.

Not long after, Liu Biao's advisers, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others, all came to his mansion.

"You guys, you have also seen that Pei Qing's current power is growing stronger and stronger, occupying Qing, Ji, You, Yu, Yan, Xu, Liang, Sili, and the thirteen prefectures. The thirteen prefectures have occupied nine. It can be said that the world is the second of the three parts, only my Jingzhou, Sun Ce's Yangzhou, Liu Zhang's Yizhou and Xuande's Jiaozhou have not yet surrendered. However, in this case, I and the Sun clan of Jiangdong and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are fighting each other, and they are like enemies. Only Brother Xuande has a good relationship with me. How should we maintain Jingzhou in this situation? I wonder what tricks do you have? Please tell me and let's discuss it together."

Liu was frowning, and he had no choice but to ask these strategists for advice.

However, these strategists have no good idea now. Even Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who are known as wise and wise, are silent for a long time and have no choice but to do anything. In the face of the absolute gap in strength, no matter how exquisite the strategy is, it is useless. What's more, Pei Qing's command is countless capable people, and the wise men are even more capable. What they can think of is the other party, and there will be corresponding countermeasures. So in their opinion, there is no need to think about this at all, and there is no response.

Seeing that these people were not talking, Liu Biao was so angry that he hurriedly said, "All the men were silent. What does this mean?"

At this time, Han Song, the chief minister, stepped forward and said, "Maybe Mr. Pei did not become hostile to us, but the slightest hostility we ourselves will anger him. It is better to let the subordinates go to Luoyang to congratulate the emperor to return to Luoyang, and congratulate Mr. Pei on becoming the Prime Minister and Duke Jin in order to observe the reality and we will deal with it later."

"Well... what do you think?" Liu Biao felt it made sense when he heard it, but he still asked everyone.

As a result, all of these people agreed, thinking that Han Song's approach was very reasonable.

Seeing this, Liu Biao prepared enough gifts and asked Han Song to go to Luoyang for a walk.

The news of Han Song going to Luoyang had long reached Pei Qing's ears, and Pei Qing immediately met Han Song in person.

After Han Song came to Luoyang, he was warmly welcomed by Pei Qing. After a lot of talks, Han Song was deeply impressed by Pei Qing's broad insight, generous conversation, far-sighted gaze and the fact that he was benevolent in politics and loves the people. Pei Qing also admired Han Song's virtues, so he complained that Han Song was the chief minister, but was rejected by Han Song. It was not that Han Song didn't want to accept it, but that he came with a mission. If he accepted Pei Qing's appointment, it would be hard to say.

Seeing Han Song say this, Pei Qing admired him even more, and the matter of being appointed as an official is only enough, but his appreciation for Han Song is even more obvious.

After returning, Han Song praised Pei Qing's virtue and suggested that Liu Biao surrender voluntarily, so that he would not lose his wealth. If he really waited until Pei Qing raised his troops to attack, it would be too late to regret it.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was furious and thought that Han Song was working for Pei Qing. He immediately ordered his left and right to push Han Song down and kill him. However, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others all pleaded for Han Song. Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai, also advised him: "Han Song is very prestigious in the Jingchu area, and he speaks frankly, unlike if he colludes with Pei Qing, so it makes no sense to kill him."

After hearing this, Liu Biao ordered someone to catch Han Song's entourage and torture him. As a result, he found that Han Song did not betray him, and his anger subsided.

At this moment, Liu Bei sent an envoy Sun Gan to visit. Liu Biao ordered people to welcome him. Sun Gan said, "My lord heard that Mr. Pei has become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Now Mr. Pei's power has reached the entire north. Only Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou have not yet surrendered. Mr. Pei's name is the prime minister of Han. In fact, it is no different from the previous Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. I believe that he will incur troops in a short time, or threaten the envoy with force to surrender. If even Mr. Zheng, you give up, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will really have no hope. Therefore, my lord hopes that we will let go of prejudice between each other, form an alliance, and fight Mr. Pei together. I hope that the envoy will think twice."

Liu Biao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, because this was exactly what he expected, so he said to Sun Gan: "Mr. I'll go there all the way. Brother Xuande is right. I'm also considering this matter. I have no objection to the joint efforts to fight Pei Qing, but I don't know if the other two companies can agree?"

Sun Gan thought for a moment and said, "Gan will do his best to mediate. I believe General Sun and Liu Yizhou also know the current situation. If we do not unite, we will have to be defeated one by one. Please wait for my good news."

When Sun Gan said this, regardless of Liu Biao's retention, he left Xiangyang without stopping and headed for Yizhou. As for Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Bei directly sent his trusted adviser Xu Jing, hoping to persuade Sun Ce to accept the coalition proposal through Xu Jing.

After Sun Gan left, Liu Biao was very happy and said to everyone with a smile: "My loyal and kindness in the Han Dynasty united together to fight against Pei Qing. The belonging of the world is still unknown. Is it too early to surrender now?"

After saying that, Liu Biao looked at Han Song with a very proud look on his face.

However, at this time, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other. What they saw on their faces was not joy and relief, but deep worries. They all knew Pei Qing's strength. Pei Qing is much stronger now than Dong Zhuo. The combined strength of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and Sun Ce is not as good as the heroes of the Kanto. Even a respected leader was necessary. It would be difficult to win in this situation.
