    It¡¯s the last few days of the new book issue. I beg you all to vote a few more times to help Yan Liang.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Could it be that Liu Bei is dishonest?" Yan Liang asked lightly.

    Xu You was startled and wondered: "How did the general know it was Liu Bei?"

    It is indeed Liu Bei.

    The current situation is that Cao Ren and Cao Hong are defeated by themselves, Cao Cao has lost his troops and is unable to send more troops to deal with him.

    As for Liu Biao, he was so frightened by himself that even if he wanted to deal with him, he would not dare to cause trouble in a short time.

    It seems that besides Liu Bei of Runan, who else can pose a threat to Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang explained his reasons in a leisurely manner. Xu You showed admiration and couldn't help but be impressed by Yan Liang's judgment.

    Xu You then told the latest developments about Liu Bei that he had detected.

    It turns out that after Liu Bei arrived in Runan, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other old troops came to gather. Even Guan Yu, who was on the front line, resolutely left Cao Cao and took Liu Bei's family to Runan after hearing that Liu Bei was in Runan.

    After Liu Bei reunited with his old troops, he recruited nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban troops, killed Cai Yang, the general of Cao Cao who had just recaptured Runan, and re-captured the city of Zhisuo An.

    As soon as Cai Yang died, the counties in Runan revolted and turned to Liu Bei one after another. In less than a month, Liu Bei suddenly gained momentum.

    "As the general had predicted, after Liu Bei recruited troops, he did not go north to attack Xudu. Instead, he led his army westward and moved towards Jingzhou. There were signs of attacking Xinye, so I had to rush to report to the general.  "

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, thinking about Liu Bei's intentions.

    Liu Bei in history, after being defeated by Cao Cao in Runan, fled to Jingxiang to attach himself to Liu Biao.

    Although the anomaly of Yan Liang has appeared and disrupted the situation in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's intention to break away from Yuan Shao will definitely not change.

    Liu Bei will definitely not work hard for Yuan Shao to copy Xu Du, and Runan is located in a remote area, so it will not be easy for Liu Bei to do something there.

    So now that Liu Bei is raising his troops to march westward, the most likely reason is to replace him with Yan Liang and seize control of the seven counties of Xinye.

    In the next step, whether Cao Cao is defeated or Yuan Shao is defeated, Liu Bei can rely on Liu Biao as his backer and remain invincible.

    After thinking about this, Yan Liang showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

    "It seems that Liu Bei has taken a fancy to Xinye, a geomantic treasure land, and wants to steal food from the tiger's mouth with me."

    Xu You nodded and said: "The general's judgment is exactly the same as that of an old man. It seems that it is inevitable for us to fight Liu Bei this time. Although Liu Bei is a hero, he has Guan Zhang and other generals with ten thousand enemies under him, and his strength is far better than Cao Hong.  , and I am worried that Liu Jingsheng will try his old trick again and stab us in the back. "

    As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

    Liu Bei came with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Although the soldiers were not elite, they were quite powerful. Not only Liu Bei was very capable of using troops, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also more powerful than Cao Hong.

    This time, if Yan Liang wants to follow the example of defeating Cao Hong last time and defeat Liu Bei with only two thousand troops, it will naturally not be easy.

    "And if Liu Biao sends troops to new areas again, the situation Yan Liang faces may be even more unfavorable than the last time.

    Next to him, Yi Ji also said worriedly: "Last time, the general used surprise troops to burn Deng Sai's food, and then scared Cai Hao away. If Liu Biao attacks again this time, he will definitely be more careful. In this way, Liu Biao's troops alone will be destroyed."  It¡¯s not easy to deal with, let alone Liu Bei.¡±

    Based on Yi Ji¡¯s analysis, it seems that Yan Liang¡¯s situation is getting more serious.

    Yan Liang frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter was extremely disapproving.

    Xu and Yi looked at each other with confused expressions. They couldn't understand how Yan Liang could be so calm and smile so easily in such a situation.

    However, after only being surprised for a moment, Xu You's lips turned into a smile.

    He has followed Yan Liang for so long, and he knows Yan Liang quite well. The more difficult his lord is, the more confident and calm he becomes.

    This unique temperament in Yan Liang is also the reason why Xu You follows him.

    Seeing this, Xu You said happily: "Could it be that the general has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

    "I don't have a good strategy to defeat the enemy yet, but I dare to bet on one thing." Yan Liang suppressed his smile, and his knife-like face showed confidence.

    Everyone was startled, wondering what Yan Liang meant by his words.

    Yan Liang did not try to whet their appetites and said loudly: "I bet this timeLiu Biao will never dare to send troops to invade our new territory again.  "

    "Why did the general say this?"

    Xu You expressed doubts, and Yi Ji on the side had the same expression.

    Yan Liang said calmly: "Although Liu Biao claims to have a hundred thousand armor, he only has two elite troops. One is the Jiangxia Huang Zu Army, and the other is the Jingbei Army stationed in Xinye, Xiangyang. In the first two battles, we defeated the Jingbei Army.  Most of the damage has been done, sir, do you think Liu Biao can still attack Xinye's capital?"

    With a word of awakening, Xu You suddenly realized.

    The number of soldiers and horses currently stationed in Xiangyang is no less than 30,000, of which only 20,000 are capable of fighting. Among these 20,000 soldiers and horses, there are many wounded soldiers and their morale is low. It is likely that morale will not be restored in a short period of time.

    "Last time at Huangjiazhuang, Liu Biao clearly had the opportunity to raise a large army to surround and kill the general, but in the end he only sent 500 people secretly, and they did not dare to wear military uniforms. Mr. Boji has been with Liu Biao for many years.  Sir, tell me, why did Liu Biao do this?"

    Yan Liang said lightly and turned his eyes to Yi Ji.

    Yi Ji¡¯s originally worried expression gradually regained its composure due to Yan Liang¡¯s words.

    After a moment of silence, Yi Ji raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and uttered a meaningful sentence:

    "Liu Biao was frightened by the general's attack."

    Yan Liang smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Yi Ji's words.

    Hearing this, Xu You finally understood that Yan Liang's confidence was not groundless, but because he had deeply seen through Liu Biao's true nature.

    After sighing at Yan Liang's profound vision, Xu You regained his confidence and said with a smile: "It seems that this time we only need to concentrate our forces to defeat Liu Bei."

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, looked eastward, and murmured: "Liu Bei, let me, Yan Liang, see how much you weigh."

    ? ######

    Dust and smoke billowed, and a silent army marched steadily on the avenue, with the big flag with the character "Liu" fluttering in the wind.

    Liu Bei rode his horse forward with a somewhat unfathomable look in his eyes.

    In his field of vision, the terrain ahead became more and more open, and Liu Bei's mind became more cheerful.

    A horse came from Juechen, and it was the counselor Sun Qian.

    "My lord, in another twenty miles we will enter the boundary of Jingzhou." Sun Qian stepped back and said.

    Liu Bei nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "I am sending an order to the whole army to set up camp for the time being and not to cross the state boundary without permission."

    Next to him, Guan Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brother, why don't you rush to Xinye in style and kill Yan Liang to avenge him, but you stop there?"

    When he mentioned Yan Liang, Guan Yu's maroon face was filled with hatred. It was obvious that Baima's defeat made him deeply hate Yan Liang.

    "Yun Chang, your revenge will come when it comes, but Yan Liang is quite capable and should not be underestimated." Liu Bei seemed very cautious.

    Hearing that Liu Bei spoke highly of Yan Liang, a trace of displeasure flashed across Guan Yu's face, but he did not dare to show it too much in front of Liu Bei.

    The order was passed, and the marching soldiers and horses gradually stopped.

    "How does brother plan to deal with Yan Liang?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask.

    "Chang Yun, have you forgotten? My fellow clansman in Jingzhou hates Yan Liang so much that he gnashes his teeth. How can we not make good use of this opportunity?"

    Liu Bei cast his gaze into the distance, a sly smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
