It's just that so much time has passed and Liu Biao has no evidence. In addition, he is too old to satisfy Cai Yu, so he has to pretend that nothing happened.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Fei would mention this matter in front of so many people today.
How not to make him angry?
If he hadn't been afraid of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts, he would have ordered Zhang Fei's head to be chopped off!
"Liu Xuande! I've been very polite to you, is this how you repay me?"
Liu Biao asked angrily.
"Please forgive me, the state pastor!"
"Zhou Mu, I apologize to you on behalf of my third brother!"
Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others apologized to Liu Biao one after another.
Liu Biao then suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly,
"Xuande, don't stay in Xiangyang City anymore."
Liu Bei felt chilled.
If he was driven away by Liu Biao again, he really didn't know who to seek refuge with.
Fortunately, Liu Biao's next words made him sigh in relief.
"You and your people can be stationed in Xinye for the time being."
"Be prepared to obey Brother Jingsheng's orders!"
Liu Bei saluted and hurriedly led the people away.
After leaving the prefect's residence, he couldn't help but scolded Zhang Fei,
"Third brother, how did I warn you?!"
Zhang Fei also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he groaned,
"Brother, I...I'm just fighting for you."
Liu Bei was so angry that he laughed back.
"Counting how many times have you done this since Yang Ling abandoned me? Why don't you have any memory?"
"I know, brother, you have been blaming me for Yang Ling's affairs!"
Zhang Fei said angrily,
"Brother, please don't worry, I will go and catch Yang Ling for you right away!"
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Guan Yu and others on the side quickly stopped him.
"My Lord, although General Yide was impulsive today, it is not a bad thing for us."
Zhuge Liang comforted him with kind words,
"We were just caged birds when we stayed in Xiangyang City."
"Now that I can leave this place and take over a county alone, my lord will have the capital to develop his own power."
After everyone's persuasion, Liu Bei calmed down his anger and reconciled with Zhang Fei.
…
Yang Ling didn't know what happened far away in Jingzhou.
After taking Huai County, he left most of the surrendered troops behind and handed them over to the leadership of Yang Chou and Dong Zhao. Then he continued northward with 5,000 elite troops and attacked Yecheng.
Less than two days after the army marched out, the reconnaissance cavalry sent out turned back.
"Reporting to General Wu Guanzhonglang, the road ahead is blocked by Yuan Jun."
Yang Ling then led several generals forward to investigate in person.
I saw that Yuan Jun had already set up camp not far away, and the densely packed tents stretched endlessly.
At a glance, there are at least more than 20,000 people!
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer Yuan Jun."
Yang Ling observed it and then said.
"Yes, Yuan Jun's camp is well planned, with various facilities such as Luzhai and Juma. The number of people is several times that of ours. Even if they can win, they will have to pay a heavy price."
Huang Zhong commented.
"I don't know who is in charge of the other side?"
Zhao Yun said thoughtfully.
At this moment, another messenger came on horseback.
"General Wu Guan Zhong Lang, this is the military report sent by the Prime Minister!"
He respectfully handed an official document to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling looked through it again, nodded and said,
"It turns out that Jushou is here. No wonder the military appearance is so different."
According to the information provided by Cao Cao, Ju Shou and Gao Gan were ordered to leave the south bank of the Yellow River.
In addition to the troops mobilized by Yuan Shao, senior officials also recruited troops from Bingzhou, a total of 30,000 troops, to stop Yang Ling.
"Since Jushou is on the other side, we can't be careless."
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
Yang Ling nodded in agreement.
He thought for a while and said,
"Why don't I let Xingba wait for you and go to the front of the camp to call for formation!"
"That's easy to say!"
Gan Ning grinned and agreed.
At the same time, Ju Shou in Yuan Jun's camp was also discussing military matters with Gao Gan, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang.
"Report to the supervisory army, the spies just came to report, Cao Jun has already arrived."
Gao Gan told Jushou the news he had just received.
"In this case, I am ordering the whole army to be on tight guard and not to go out to fight with Cao's army."
Jushou looked serious and authentic.
The senior official smiled disapprovingly,
"Does the supervisor think too highly of Yang Ling? He only has 5,000 men, but we have 30,000!"
"Yang Ziyi has always been full of tricks and tricks, and it's not like he has never done it before in a battle where the weak defeated the strong."
Jushou glanced at him and said calmly.
Before the senior official could speak, a soldier hurriedly walked in.
"Supervisor, generals, Cao Jun's general Gan Ning is yelling and cursing outside the camp."
Jushou was startled and then followed,
"Let's go out and take a look!"
The group stood up and walked towards the camp gate.
Through the camp gate, they could clearly see Gan Ning riding on a tall horse, shouting and arrogantly.
"Old Jushou! You high-ranking coward, do you dare to come out and fight with me?"
"I, Gan Ning, are just chopping melons and vegetables when dealing with you Hebei people!"
"It's been cold lately, add some soil to your mother, don't freeze!"
"Look up at the sky more often, maybe your mother is looking at you too!"
"The stars are still so bright, and your mother is still in the sky!"
Gan Ning vividly demonstrated the Zu'an quotations he learned from Yang Ling.
Sergeant Yuan's soldiers were scolded so badly that their faces turned red!
"I'm furious!"
Gao Gan's face was distorted and he said fiercely,
"Come on, come out and fight Cao Jun!"
"No!"
Jushou quickly stopped the senior official, stared at him and said,
"Have you forgotten what my lord ordered us to do? Just resist them."
"Are we going to see Gan Ning be so arrogant?"
Gao Gan said angrily.
Jushou stared at him for a while and then said,
"Since the general wants to send people to fight Gan Ning, I won't stop him. But if he fails, he will not be allowed to raise the camp to fight again in the future."
"good!"
Without even thinking about it, Gao Gan said to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang,
"Which of you will go out to fight Gan Ning?"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
Lu Kuang stood up.
"Okay, if you can kill Gan Ning, I will report it to the lord later and let him promote you!"
Lu Kuang was overjoyed, saluted, and rushed out of the camp on horseback.
Looking at his leaving figure, a sneer appeared on Jushou's lips.
Gan Ning had a reputation for being evil, and it was almost impossible to kill him just because Lu Kuang was such a useless snack.
It's just that as the governor of Bingzhou and Yuan Shao's nephew, Gao Gan was arrogant.
Let him suffer a little and know how powerful Cao Jun is.
In this way, he will no longer clamor to go out to fight Cao Jun!
The battlefield outside the camp.
Lu Kuang reined in his horse and said arrogantly,
"I am Lu, the general under Mr. Yuan's account..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Gan Ning.
