Chapter 607 Hanzhong Prepares for Battle

All newspapers and magazines in the jurisdiction of Lu Ning promoted Liu Bei's glorious image at the same time; the most depressing thing was that Guo Jia and Tian Chou also used the spies from all over the country to give free gifts to public places such as taverns and inns; newspapers that usually require two silver coins do not need to be purchased, magazines that require two silver coins do not need to be spent on money, and there are a lot of people on the street to deliver them.

In this way, Liu Bei became famous in a very short time. All the servants knew that Liu Bei was a hypocrite, a despicable and shameless person, and an ungrateful person; Liu Bei became a conversation for people all over the world after dinner; especially Liu Bei's famous saying that brothers are like brothers and feet and wives are like clothes makes all women in the world despise Liu Bei.

In the official residence of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Biao also convened his civil and military officials to have a meeting. The inner cavity was the matter of Liu Bei reported in the media under the jurisdiction of Lu Ning. Liu Bei, who was not very famous and not known to people, suddenly became the focus of the princes.

Liu Biao said: "Everyone has seen it. What do you think about the reports about Liu Bei in newspapers and magazines?"

Since Cai Mao was captured by Lu Ning many years ago, he was tortured by Lu Ning and fed Cai Mao a few pills, telling Cai Mao if he was not obedient, he would cut off his pills. He only took care of the medicine he gave Cai Mao every time he gave Cai Mao for half a year. After half a year, he would get sick and suffer from the pain. That kind of taste was paid for by Cai Mao in Jinyang.

Since then, Cai Mao obediently listened to Lu Ning's words and became a spy in Lu Ning's hands. Lu Ning generally didn't want Cai Mao to do anything, and when it expired, he would send someone to give Cai Mao a pill. He also took care of the Cai Mao family in business. In this way, Cai Mao dared not have any intention of Lu Ning.

Cai Mao immediately said: "Lord, Liu Bei's despicable and shameless behavior has been rumored in the world for a long time, and the things he did are true; he just didn't expect that since Liu Bei would be so sinister and cunning, such a person would not be able to defend Runan City, and sooner or later he would be defeated by Cao Cao."

Kuai Liang said: "I really didn't expect Liu Bei to be such a scumbag. A straw sandal seller. Since he fooled so many people in the world, it seems that those three tricks are really useful!"

Kuai Yue said: "Lord, if Liu Bei fled to our jurisdiction after his great defeat, what are you going to do?"

Liu Biao actually wanted to study this matter. After all, they are all surnamed Liu and have a trace of royal blood. If they can unite, they will also have the code of survival.

Liu Biao said: "What do you mean?"

Cai Mao said: "Lord, can a craftsman take in such a person with bad character? Besides, these things were investigated by Lu Ning. If we take in, how can we explain to Lu Ning!"

Zhang Yun immediately said: "Lord, Liu Bei has a bad character, so such a person cannot be taken in."

Kuai Liang said: "My lord, you have to think twice about this. Once you take in Liu Bei, it will also have a bad impact on your lord's reputation."

Jingzhou is controlled by a big family. To put it bluntly, Liu Biao cannot do without the Kuai family, Cai family, Huang family, Zhang family, Wu family and other big families. Once the support of these big families is lost, Liu Biao will be over; how can these big families allow Liu Bei to come to Jingzhou to join in! That will harm the interests of these big families.

Kuai Yue said: "Lord, the most powerful prince in the world is Lu Ning. We have finally established a good relationship with Lu Ning, so we cannot be affected by a bad character Liu Bei. Everyone knows Lu Ning's strength. In the water battle many years ago, nearly 20,000 of us could not defeat more than 1,000 of us. The same is true on the ground. The 500 people around Lu Ning killed all our 2,000 outstanding soldiers. Have you ever thought about such strength? So, we'd better find nothing and make trouble again."

For Jingzhou, Cai Mao was controlled by Lu Ning, and for the sake of long-term considerations, the two brothers of Kuai also reached a certain kind of gentleman agreement with Lu Ning; and the government affairs of Jingzhou were mainly controlled by the two brothers of Kuai, and the army was mainly controlled by Cai Mao. If Lu Ning wanted to attack Jingzhou, it would not be difficult to operate, which was also one of Lu Ning's long-term layout.

Liu Biao said: "Since everyone has this idea, the military should pay more attention and not let Liu Bei sneak into our jurisdiction again. Besides, I don't want to turn against Liu Bei and Cao Cao."

Wen Pin said: "Don't worry, lord!"

In the official residence of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu also summoned his civil and military officials to study. This was not only Liu Bei's problem, but also that Lu Ning was preparing to use military force against Hanzhong, which was an urgent matter for King Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu said: "Everyone knows that Xu Huang, the general under Lu Ning, has led the army to our border. As long as the spring begins, Xu Huang's army will come to Hanzhong."

Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei said: "Brother, the road from Chang'an to Hanzhong cannot be passed just by trying. As long as we guard the Xigu and Chencang several important passes, even if Xu Huang comes, it will be useless. What's there to worry about?"

After hearing this, Yan Pu shook his head and said, "You can't be careless. Lu Ning's troops are very powerful. They have been fighting against foreign countries for many years. Over the years, they have been attacking foreign nationalities without stopping. The foreign nationalities that were eliminated by Lu Ning's army are extremely powerful nations and hidden dangers of the Han Dynasty. The border problems that cannot be solved for hundreds of years have been completely solved by Lu Ning. Doesn't this explain the problem? This shows that Lu Ning's army is indeed very fierce. If we are careless, there will be a catastrophe."

Yan Pu was Zhang Lu's strategist and the most capable strategist under Zhang Lu. His ability should be a little stronger than the third-rate strategist. Over the years, he has also made many plans for Zhang Lu. Especially in the battle against Shu, if Yan Pu had not provided advice, Hanzhong would have been wiped out by Liu Yan. After Liu Yan's death, his son Liu Zhang was not satisfied. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day, and he did not do much. Although he had a lot of elite soldiers and excellent strategists under his command, he had never made any achievements.

Yang Song, another strategist of Zhang Lu, said: "Lu Ning Army is mainly based on cavalry. The strongest of Lu Ning Army is also cavalry. But if we attack us, how much role will this cavalry play? Moreover, we have 150,000 troops on hand, and Xu Huang heard that there are only 30,000 troops, of which 10,000 are cavalry. It should be said that attacking us will not be excellent, but will only be defeated."

Li Song is much worse than Yan Pu, and he is not at the same level in terms of talent or character. To put it bluntly, people like Li Song are famous villains, and they seem to have betrayed Zhang Lu in history, which made Zhang Lu defeated.

Zhang Lu said: "After that being said, Xu Huang is also a good general, and he was fighting on the northern grassland. If he does not have the ability, how could Lu Ning let Xu Huang lead the army to attack our Hanzhong alone! We should still deal with it carefully, especially all soldiers must enter the state of war. Don't be short of such and such things at that time, and be able to fight at any time."

Zhang Wei said: "Brother, don't worry!"
