Liu Bei's plan was carried out in an orderly manner. Cao Ren and Li Dian beat Liu Bei to vent their anger, and then returned to Xuchang angrily.

Cao Cao seems to have been used to this result for a long time. When he was tasting wine with Liu Bei, he did say that Liu Bei was a hero. At that time, Cao Cao thought it was just a polite comment, but now, it is clear that it has become a prophecy.

He understood that his chances of killing Liu Bei in Yuan Shao's army might be running out. Although he knew that once Liu Bei ran away, he might eventually become his biggest enemy, but he could only do his best in this matter.

It has been more than ten days since Wu Jun, Liu Xie, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu made a plan to capture Liu Biao first in the palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was August in the fifth year of Jian'an. The midsummer was hot, but it was Liu Xie's happiest day. Whether it was Xuchang or Jiangdong, Liu Xie always felt damp and cold in winter and spring. In a big man without heating, except for the people in bed

, there are really few means of heating.

Liu Xie has already thought of several ways to spend the winter comfortably. Of course, he has to wait until his position is more stable before he starts.

In the past ten days, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had been casting a net on Liu Biao's territory while keeping it secret. When Liu Biao had no defense, the information they obtained was quite rich.

Sun Ce couldn't always run to Liu Xie's palace to report the situation like a little brother, but the fact was that only the three of them knew about this matter, and it was Liu Xie's plan. It would definitely be a mistake not to discuss it with Liu Xie.

No way.

So this errand task fell on Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Lang, who had always been arrogant in Jiangdong, did not object to this errand at all, because he wanted to have full control of the strategy to see Liu Xie's humanity towards Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who could barely be considered celebrities in this era.

Whether it is accurate or not.

If Liu Xie was right about everything, Zhou Yu felt that he would immediately suggest that Sun Ce find an opportunity to kill him. It would not be a good thing for Jiangdong for such a figure to bear the title of emperor.

However, despite thinking this way in his head, when discussing strategies with Liu Xie, Zhou Yu still had to admit two words: It smells so good!

The sun was just about to set that day, and Liu Xie and Fu Shou were feeding fish by the lotus pond in the palace, when a maid hurriedly came over.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu wishes to see you."

"Oh, I don't want to take care of things, but they can't solve it on their own!"

After leaving such helpless words and grabbing Fu Shou's buttocks, Liu Xie walked towards the side hall where he often discussed matters with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"Gong Jin is here. Is there news about Liu Biao?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty's previous guess can be said to have been half realized. Our Jiangdong spies have just learned from Cai Hao, the brother of Mrs. Cai whom Liu Biao dotes on, that Liu Bei has sent his advisers Jian Yong and Sun Qian to bring him

I went to see Liu Biao with his letter and expressed my intention to submit, and Liu Biao agreed."

After speaking, Zhou Yu handed Liu Xie a letter, which was the detailed information sent by Jiangdong's spies.

Liu Xie put the letter on the table and didn't bother to read it at all. Of course, this is also consistent with the character of a puppet emperor who only cares about pleasure and making suggestions is just a side job.

"You don't need to read the letter. Liu Biao is a little too confident. He thinks that he can be invincible by establishing a good image in this troubled world? He is naive!"

Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, it was obvious that he looked down upon Liu Biao. Zhou Yu quickly waved his hand, trying to correct Liu Xie's arrogant attitude just by speaking.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Now the number of soldiers under Liu Biao's command is nearly 150,000. Neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao wants to start a war with Liu Biao. Let's attack Liu Biao, which is indeed beyond his imagination!

"

"Now that Liu Biao wants to take Liu Bei in, he will arrive within a month or two, but his identity is the emperor's uncle. Liu Biao will not let him go deep into his hinterland. He will probably find a small town in the corner for him.

He lives there, so it will be easier for us to operate."

Zhou Yu listened very carefully, because Liu Xie had never said before how Liu Biao might arrange for Liu Bei after he arrived. Obviously, Liu Xie had already foreseen even such details.

"Once Guan Yu knows about Liu Bei's arrival in Jingzhou, will he join Liu Bei directly and not come to our Wu County?"

Zhou Yu had been thinking about this worry for many days. Guan Yu's ultimate goal was obviously to meet up with Liu Bei. If their destinations were almost the same, then they would just meet up. Why would he come to Wu County for two women?

"You and Bo Fu don't have to worry. If Guan Yu doesn't bring these two ladies back to Liu Bei, he himself will not return to Liu Bei. That's how he is."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu was a little speechless, especially when Liu Xie said calmly: This is what he is like.

It's as if Guan Yu was once his younger brother. That kind of certainty cannot be faked.

"Bo Fu believes that if a strong general like Guan Yu can directly stay in our Jiangdong to serve, it will also be a great help for our competition in the Central Plains. With our Jiangdong's capabilities, and Bo Fu is not as cunning as Cao Cao, can he stay?

"

This question was obviously asked by Zhou Yu on behalf of Sun Ce. Since Liu Xie knew Guan Yu so well, after all, Guan Yu's partial general was appointed by Liu Xie himself.

In addition, these two sisters-in-law were also given to Liu Xie to take care of. Although Liu Xie took care of them from Xuchang to Jiangdong, at least these two sisters-in-law were still the original original paint. They were what they were when he sent them to the palace, and they are still the same now.

What's it like?

For this reason, Zhou Yu felt that if he were Guan Yu, he would have to thank Liu Xie.

So if Liu Xie had exerted a little more force when Guan Yu came, Sun Ce felt that it was still possible to keep Guan Yu in the name of the emperor. After all, Cao Cao had kept Guan Yu for such a long time, wasn't it also Liu Xie's help?

?

"Isn't the plan we made before just to make him serve us?" After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Liu Xie was still a little confused.

"What Bo Fu means is that now that he has these two sisters-in-law, there are more possibilities for him to leave. A mere Liu Bei can't make a difference. Can we just leave Guan Yu in Wu County?"
