Jia Xu asked the envoy from Jingzhou to come in and talk to him in detail.

The appeal of the envoy of Jingzhou was very simple. On behalf of Liu Biao, he conveyed his sincerity to Jia Xu.

Liu Biao's request was very simple, just to ask Jia Xu to advise Niu Fu and let him return to Wancheng. The two families would form an alliance again. As for Niu Fu's material needs in Wancheng, it is easy to discuss.

After hearing the request of the envoy of Jingzhou, Jia Xu stroked his beard and half-drown his eyes, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

When he was young, Fang heard him say slowly: "This is not because I don't want to help Liu Jingzhou, but it's not easy to help."

The envoy said strangely: "What is the difficulty of Captain Jia? Please speak out."

Jia Xu sighed and said, "It's not to be hiding. General Niu Zhonglang's entry into Jingzhou this time was not a whim, but had been planning and preparing for a long time. He had already prepared his troops and vowed to occupy all Nanyang County. Moreover, our army's helpers have not arrived yet. If the helpers arrive, even General Niu Zhonglang wants to retreat, he is afraid he will not be able to withdraw."

The messenger was shocked when he heard this and said, "I wonder who is the helper Jia Gong said?"

Jia Xu said helplessly: "Your eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, was defeated by Guanzhong General Li Jue in the past, and lost many troops under his command. Li Jue has been roaming Liangzhou for many years and is good at using troops. He has never suffered such a big loss. He has long held a grudge against your son. Now he has the opportunity to take revenge and seize the land of Jingzhou. He has long been unable to hold back. Now he has ordered his troops under his command, intending to go out from Wuguan to Nanyang, join the alliance with Niu Zhonglang, take Xinye together, and fight Xiangyang again..."

The messenger's face suddenly turned pale.

Jia Xu continued slowly, "If Li Jue comes...ah, I'm going to hide it. Even if I come forward, I may not be able to stop him."

The messenger bowed and said, "Since that's the case, we should take advantage of the future of Li Jue... Mr. Jia should quickly advise General Niu Zhonglang and ask him to withdraw his troops."

Jia Xu didn't say anything when he heard this.

"Mr. Jia?" the envoy spoke and tentatively.

Jia Xu sighed and said helplessly: "In recent years, I have been thinking about relatives and have become sick with worries. My health is getting worse and worse. I can't stand the storm... I'm afraid I'm too powerless to find this."

When the messenger heard something from Jia Xu's words, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jia, what do you want? I will convey Liu Jingzhou on my behalf."

It was not until this time that an undetectable smile flashed from the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, but the smile flashed and disappeared.

"Actually, I really have one thing, I want to ask Liu Jingzhou for help." Jia Xu said lightly.

...

The envoy who left Jia Xu's military camp soon went straight south and returned to Xiangyang to report to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao hasn't had a good sleep for several days. He is on the front line every day and gives instructions on the situation on various battlefields at any time, but the plan is far from changing quickly.

On the other side of Jiangxia County, Wei Yan, Shamoke, Yangzhan Cenlang and other troops arrived in Xiling and joined forces with Huang Zu to fight against Yuan Shu.

The two sides have fought several times and won and lost each other, but they barely maintained an invincible situation. No one can do anything to each other for the time being.

Liu Pan and Shi Xie were just confronting each other, and both sides did not take action.

These two paths are temporarily worry-free.

The key is Niu Fu's journey, Cao Cao's journey, and Sun Jian... These three journeys really gave Liu Biao a headache.

Niu Fu and Cai Mao, Li Dian and Zhang Ren confronted each other. Although the opponent's offensive was fierce, Li Dian and Zhang Ren and others held on. The key was that the Xiliang soldiers could not win, so they always harassed everywhere, which was a headache.

The Kuai brothers led Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci to fight Cao Cao...

In Liu Biao's opinion, it was nothing great after Cao Cao's eunuchs. With the Kuai brothers, Huang Zhong and others, they were completely invincible to deal with him... but in the end, they couldn't win at all!

The combat power of Cao Cao's army is not only strong, but also has several powerful generals under his command who are the best in the three armies, which is no less than Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci.

Cao Cao's military use level does not need to be said much.

Liu Yan was preparing troops to leave Sichuan, and Liu Biao planned to let Zhang Yun lead his troops to fight him.

But Sun Jian's military power had already diverted from Chaisang to Yiyang, which was clearly the case that he would not attack Jiangxia and Changsha.

Changsha is now an empty place, so should anyone be sent to guard it?

"Cough, cough!" Liu Biao pounded his chest in a fury, and his scalp seemed to start to explode.

I thought that as long as Wang Xi’s advice was followed, it would be fine to carry out defensive strategies in various places, but now it seems that simple defense cannot be prevented at all, and a strategy must be formulated again!

But, should this strategy be appropriately formulated?

It was at this time that the messenger sent to Niu Fu's side came back.

He conveyed Jia Xu's intention to Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao heard that Li Jue seemed to want to come out of Guanzhong to stir up this muddy water, he was completely confused.

If Li Jue joins forces with Niu Fu, the situation will seem even more difficult to grasp. Whether he will continue to stay in Xiangyang is an unknown number.

"Can Jia Xu persuade Niu Fu to withdraw his troops?" Liu Biao asked the envoy anxiously.

The messenger whispered: "Jia Xu meant that it was not difficult to get Niu Fu to withdraw his troops, but he wanted to ask Duke Ming to return his family in Xiangyang to him..."

Upon hearing this, the muscles on Liu Biao thrust back and forth.

Isn’t this old man clearly threatening himself? Is it unbearable!

It’s not a problem for a few families, but if I just send it back to you like this, how can I keep my face?

"You go down." Liu Biao waved his hand and said to the messenger.

The messenger went down immediately, and Liu Biao leaned against the table, rubbing his eyebrows, and his face was frowning.

At this moment, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu hurried into the hall.

"Father, what's the war everywhere?" Liu Cong hurriedly asked when he met.

Liu Biao looked at the two of them for a while and sighed: "We are all dealing with the local area, winning and losing each other, but it is probably difficult to retreat for a while. Moreover, Sun Jian has turned his troops to Yiyang County. If he is allowed to attack Changsha, we will be attacked from both sides, and the situation may be worse at that time."

Liu Cong said angrily: "When this time, why didn't my father summon my elder brother back!"

Liu Xiu also said: "Father, in this situation, you must ask your elder brother to take charge to resolve it. Father should not be concerned about face anymore. It is better to send someone to summon your elder brother to come back."

Liu Biao slowly raised his head, looked back and forth at Liu Cong and Liu Xiu, and whispered: "How do you know I didn't look for it?"

"Ah?" Liu Cong was stunned when he heard this.

"After six troops attacking Jingzhou, my father immediately sent an envoy to Jiangling to find your brother to return to Xiangyang to deal with this matter."

"What then?" Liu Xiu said in confusion.

Liu Biao didn't say anything.

Nothing at all.

Liu Qi is currently studying in Jiangling. When Liu Biao's envoy arrived in Jiangling and conveyed to him the news that the six troops were attacking Jingzhou together, Liu Qi replied to the envoy with only three words.

"knew."

Just three simple words, Liu Qi continued to stay in Jiangling to study.

Liu Biao couldn't tell anyone about this, after all... I asked my son to use three words to pass it on, and it was too embarrassing to say it out.

The old man can only bear this cowardly.

Now everyone in Xiangyang thinks that Liu Biao is very proud of his face and will not come back to Liu Qi.

But in fact, Liu Biao sent someone to find Liu Qi, but Liu Qi didn't pee at his pot.

Now that Liu Cong and Liu Xiu have come to ask, Liu Biao has just told his two sons about this and complained.

After hearing this, Liu Cong frowned and didn't understand why Liu Qi did this.

Is he angry with his father? My eldest brother doesn't seem to be such a person.

Liu Xiu lowered his head seriously and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Father, how did you summon your elder brother back?"

Liu Biao heard this and said strangely: "Of course, I sent an envoy to summon him back, how else can I summon him?"

"Does anyone else know about this in Xiangyang?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Why do you have to notify others when I call my son back?"

Liu Xiu bowed and said, "Father... I want to ask you something, listen to others' advice and accept the power of the brother's military power. This is a matter... do you think you have done something wrong?"

In a word, it seemed that Liu Biao was heartbroken.

After a while, Fang listened to Liu Biao's extremely subtle voice and replied in a low voice: "From the first day of my father, I knew that this was wrong..."

"It is both the father's fault and the crime of those scholars who are randomly advised. If you leave me alone, you will let your elder brother come back to take charge of the soldiers... Forgive your child's words, if you are the eldest brother, you won't do it... Father, I guess, what the elder brother wants at this moment is not military power, but attitude... It is the attitude of the father and those scholars who are advised and slandering."
