Chapter 236 Surprise Comes
Wang Dong smiled and glanced at everyone with contempt, "Cao Cao is very strong, but unfortunately what can I do with just 80,000 troops? Our army has only 100,000 troops. If the general wants to be an enemy of our army, then we will then transfer another 100,000 troops to sweep Jingzhou in one fell swoop!" Liu Biao and others were shocked and looked at each other, unable to speak for a while.
Wang Dong continued: "There is a good intention to come here, but the governor is so hostile. I don't think there is any need to talk about it! If the governor dares not kill me, I will say goodbye!" After that, he bowed to Liu Biao and was about to turn around and leave.
"Stay here!" Liu Biao shouted anxiously.
Wang Dong turned around and asked with a sneer, "Do you want to kill me? Then do it!" As he said that, he turned around, looking like he didn't care about letting his hair fall.
Liu Biao smiled and said, "The noble envoy misunderstood! How could I kill the noble envoy!"
Wang Dong asked, "If you say so, are you planning to talk to me well?" Liu Biao nodded quickly and said, "That's right! That's right! If I have any misunderstandings with the general, it will be no matter how good it is to be able to say it!
Wang Dong said: "My general has always respected the great men and was a royal family member, and he did not lose etiquette at the beginning." Liu Biao even claimed that he was, and couldn't help but recall the interactions with Lu Bu. He was surprised to find that Lu Bu was really good to him at the beginning, and all the changes were all after Sun Jian seized Lu Jiang. Now, he was really confused at the beginning. He actually listened to Sun Jian's lies and joined forces with him to fight Lu Bu. As a result, he did not say anything about the loss of troops and generals, but he completely offended Lu Bu, who had a good relationship. If he had not offended Lu Bu, how could he have such a dilemma today? Liu Biao thought of this and couldn't help but regret it.
Wang Dong continued: "However, Sun Jian has always been afraid of the good relationship between our two families, and has repeatedly destroyed and provoked and disagreed, so that the previous incident between Lord and Sun Jian joined forces to attack me. This time, the reason why we sent troops to attack Lord was because Sun Jian sowed out, otherwise our general would never come to attack the territory of the Han clan relatives. However, our general soon discovered the conspiracy of Sun Jian and the others, so after seizing Anlu, he stopped moving and did not continue to attack. Otherwise, our army would have defeated the Green Forest Camp at this moment, and the troops had already arrived at the east bank of the Han River!" Liu Biao couldn't help but sweated coldly, secretly glad. Wang Dong continued: "I'm talking about a lot of things just to let the adults know that our general did not intend to invade the adults! The reason for fighting this battle was entirely because Sun Jian sowed out the disagreement!"
Liu Biao couldn't help but nodded, with annoyed expression on his face, and murmured: "Sun Jian uses all these conspiracies and tricks to be called a hero in vain!"
Kuai Liang suddenly asked, "Since the general knew that he had fallen into Sun Jian's trick, what would he want to do this?" Liu Biao and Kuai Yue looked at Wang Dong with concern.
Wang Dong said: "It is certain that the cession will be stopped. In addition, in order to show my sincerity, my general is willing to return all Xiling and its surrounding areas to the Lord." Liu Biao and the other two felt unbelievable. Liu Biao asked anxiously: "General is really willing to return Xiling to me?"
Wang Dong nodded, "Of course it's true! My general said, how can the Han clan relatives be violated for no reason!"
Liu Biao was overjoyed and grateful, "General, he, he, alas, I was so confused before! He actually treated the evil man as a friend but offended his true good friend!"
Wang Dong smiled and said, "It's not too late to understand now!" Liu Biao nodded and said firmly: "I have nothing to say! The general is so righteous, I swear that I will never be an enemy of the general in this life! If the general needs it, I will never refuse within my ability!"
Wang Dong clasped his fists and said, "I'll thank my general!" Then he said, "Sir, this handover should be done immediately, so as not to have too many nights and dreams." Liu Biao nodded deeply, "I'll order..." He originally wanted to ask Liu Bei to lead his army to accept, but he was worried about Liu Bei, so he changed his words and said, "I'll order my son Liu Qi to lead his army to receive Xiling." Wang Dong didn't care who Liu Biao sent to receive, so he clasped his fists and said, "Please call the troops immediately, and the lower officials will lead him to receive Xiling, so he can save a lot of trouble." Liu Biao said yes, and immediately ordered Kuai Yue to summon Liu Qi. Kuai Yue responded and left in a hurry.
Liu Biao smiled and said to Wang Dong: "Sir, don't go to the guesthouse, just stay in my mansion."
Liu Bei led his army to the Lulin Mountain Camp and handed over with Cai Mao. Cai Mao led his entourage back to Xiangyang with a very depressed mood.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but be happy and said loudly: "I'll just say it! Liu Biao's subordinates are all wine bags. If you want to deal with Lu Bu, you have to rely on us!" Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhang Fei: "The third brother should not be proud and talk nonsense. Brother Jingsheng has a kindness to me. I am just to repay Brother Jingsheng's kindness. The third brother speaks like this, but it seems like I want to seize something." Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout anxiously: "
Brother, you can't be so kind anymore! This world is just a good person who is at a disadvantage! Since the opportunity has come, we can't let it go!" Guan Yu couldn't help saying, "Third brother is very much! Brother, you support the world and support the Han Dynasty. If you don't have the strength, you are just a fantasy after all! Losing Daren for Xiaoren is not what a hero does!" Zhang Fei praised, "Second brother said this very well! That's it!"
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, sighed, and nodded. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were overjoyed when they saw this. Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout, "That's great!"
Liu Bei quickly reminded: "The more I wait, the more I should care! At present, there are only 60,000 people, a large camp, and the soldiers have not really supported me. It is far from the time to act. I am not worried. I am the third brother. You must carefully control your mouth and don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei smiled, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me at all, my mouth is the most secure!"
Liu Bei looked unbelievable and said, "You can't keep your mouth shut when you drink!" He paused, "From now on, unless I and Yun Chang are here, you will never be allowed to drink!" Zhang Fei was shocked and shouted, "Will I die of pain in this way?" Liu Bei said seriously, "If you are really my good brother, just agree. Otherwise, I can't care about you." Zhang Fei was shocked and shouted, "I agree! I agree! My elder brother is too partial and always bully me!" Liu Bei and Guan Yu couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, a personal soldier led Liu Biao's envoy in hurriedly and reported: "General, the lord envoy is here."
Liu Biao immediately stepped forward and bowed, "I am sorry for your mistakes when you are here!"
The envoy smiled and said, "Envoy Liu, don't be polite!" Then he raised Liu Biao's arrow high and said, "The lord has an order. Lu Bu's threat has been lifted. I ordered the envoy Liu and his two brothers to return to Xiangyang immediately. The lord will be appointed." The three brothers suddenly heard this, and they were all already. Zhang Fei shouted: "How can you do this? You should treat us as if you want to be the first? You should just take it as soon as you want to move! Don't do it!"
The messenger looked shocked and couldn't help but look at Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly explained to the messenger: "Don't be surprised! My third brother is such a rude temper! He is the same to me!" The messenger couldn't help but feel relieved. Liu Bei turned his head to Guan Yu and said, "Take the third brother down." Guan Yu immediately grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and dragged Zhang Fei, who was still furious and refused to give up. Zhang Fei was dragged out by Guan Yu and struggled away suddenly and said unhappy: "Second brother, that old thing Liu Biao is so hateful! Why aren't you angry?"
Guan Yu said angrily: "I'm naturally angry. But the elder brother decides to deal with this matter. If you are furious in front of outsiders, wouldn't it be difficult for the elder brother to do it? You have to restrain yourself with this temper!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "I can't change it!" Guan Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
Liu Bei asked the envoy: "The envoy, for some reason, said 'Lu Bu's threat was lifted'?"
The envoy said: "The lord and Lu Bu have already agreed. It turns out that the war between us and Lu Bu was caused by Sun Jian's instigation! Now the problem has been resolved. Lu Bu not only quit the army with us, but also returned all Xiling and other places to us! There is no need to worry about Lu Bu's threat now! Isn't this a threat lifted?"
Liu Bei only felt unbelievable, "Lu Bu would actually return Xiling voluntarily. Is this possible?"
"It's true. The lord has ordered the eldest son Liu Qi to lead 10,000 troops to Xiling to receive it. On this side, I asked the envoy Liu to hand over the command power to the eldest son Liu Qi. The lord's meaning is to leave the matter on this side to the eldest son. I asked the envoy Liu to lead 40,000 troops to return to Xiangyang with me to report to the lord."
Liu Bei's heart was overturned and full of emotion. He thought that his opportunity had finally come. He was happy about it, but he didn't expect that God would tease him like this. He wanted to take back the military power in an instant, and he was instantly beaten back to the prototype. He broke up with Liu Biao! This impulse suddenly surged in Liu Bei's heart. However, this idea was rejected by him as soon as he appeared, because although he was nominally the commander of the 60,000 army, in fact, he could not control the 60,000 army at all. He acted rashly, for fear that the three brothers would die again on the spot! Liu Bei sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He clasped his fists and said, "Since Brother Jingsheng is destined, I will obey it!" Lai Jun nodded and said, "Let me prepare for it, and we will set off for Xiangyang tomorrow." Liu Bei nodded.
Chapter completed!
