    Xiangyang City, Prefecture Mufu.

    In the lobby, Liu Biao was holding the letter in his hand and looking at it carefully.

    After a while, important civil and military officials such as Kuai Yue and Cai Mao came in one after another.

    "My lord has summoned us urgently. Is there something urgent?"

    Kuai Yue was the most observant. Every time he entered the hall, he could tell that Liu Biaohuai had something on his mind.

    "You should take a look at this letter first." Liu Biao said calmly and handed the letter to his assistant.

    Kuai Yue then circulated it around for viewing. When everyone saw the signature in the letter, they couldn't help but show a bit of strangeness.

    The signature in the letter is none other than Liu Xuande, the uncle of the Han Dynasty Emperor.

    Liu Biao stroked his beard and said slowly: "Liu Xuande's aide Sun Qian arrived in Xiangyang this morning and claimed that Liu Xuande wanted to join forces with me to kill Yan Liang. What do you think of this?"

    There was sudden silence in the lobby.

    Liu Biao originally thought that as soon as his words came out, the hardliners in the hall such as Cai Mao would be very excited and clamor to join forces with Liu Bei, except Yan Liang to avenge his past.

    Liu Biao couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the silence of everyone.

    "What, no one agrees to join forces with Liu Xuande?" Liu Biao asked curiously.

    Kuai Yue coughed a few times and slowly stood up.

    He cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Liu Xuande is a powerful hero. If my subordinates join forces with him, even if they get rid of Yan Liang, they will be able to resist the wolf at the front door and welcome the tiger at the back door. There will be endless troubles."

    With that said, Kuai Yue winked at Cai Hao again.

    Cai Mao said hurriedly: "Although Liu Xuande claims to have over 10,000 troops in Runan and has a huge momentum, he is defeated more with his troops than he is victorious. If we rashly join forces with him, what if we make the same mistake as Cao Hong did before?  Losing a lot.¡±

    When old things were brought up again, a hint of panic flashed across Liu Biao's old face.

    How could Liu Biao forget the pain of two disastrous defeats.

    "You two are right in what you said. It seems that I should have rejected Liu Xuande."

    At this time, Kuai Yue shook his head and smiled, "How can my lord reject Liu Xuande's kindness? My lord should happily agree to it."

    Liu Biao was confused now. He heard Kuai Yue say it was okay for one moment, and then said it shouldn't be for another. The inconsistent meanings made him feel a little dizzy.

    "My lord can agree to Liu Xuande, pretending to send troops to support, but actually sitting on the mountain watching the tiger. If Yan Liang wins, then so be it. If Liu Bei wins, we can take the opportunity to send troops to new areas and reap the benefits of the fishermen."

    Kuai Yue stroked his beard and said with a slight contentment.

    His strategy was similar to the previous one, but this time he changed to not sending troops temporarily. Obviously, the failure last time had caused him to lose his confidence in winning.

    Liu Biao listened and nodded secretly, praising: "This is a great plan. I will write a letter right now and let Liu Xuande and Yan Liang fight to the death."

    "My lord is wise." Kuai Yue complimented him.

    At dusk, as soon as he rode out of Xiangyang City, Sun Qian, who was carrying Liu Biao's alliance letter, took a path around Xinye and headed east and west.

    ? ######

    When Sun Qian set off, an army under the banner of Liu Pi also set out from Xinye, looking at Biyang City.

    Biyang City is the only place that leads from Xinye to Runan County. Its location is right in the middle of Xinye City and Runan Administrative Office Ancheng.

    Because it is a narrower place than Yangyang, the people are poorer, it is quite far away from Xiangyang, and it is not a dangerous place, so it is usually not noticed.

    When Yan Liang invaded Jingzhou, there was no soldier stationed in Biyang City. After occupying Biyang without any bloodshed, he continued to advance westward and defeated Wenpin's army near Xinye.

    This time, Yan Liang chose a tactic other than "defending the enemy at the country's gate" and sent Liu Pi to lead his army to Biyang before Liu Bei entered Jingzhou.

    As Liu Pijun entered Biyang, hundreds of civilians also set out from the seven counties of Xinye, traveling day and night to deliver grain and grass to Biyang.

    Five days later, fifteen miles east of Biyang City, the shadow of Liu Beijun finally appeared.

    At dusk, Liu Bei, escorted by more than ten cavalry troops and Guan Yu, approached Biyang City several miles away to observe the enemy's situation.

    Climbing a hill, Liu Bei stood on his horse and looked far away, with a panoramic view of the entire Biyang City.

    Guan Yu pointed at the enemy city from afar and said slowly: "According to the reports from the scouts, there were only a thousand enemy troops entering Biyang City, and the enemy general was Liu Pi, the yellow turban thief. As his brother expected, Yan Liang was really afraid of being copied by Liu Biao.  Most of the troops were left behind in Xinye.

    In Guan Yu's tone, he made no secret of his admiration for Liu Bei's strategy.

    "My lord, take Liu Jing'sThe news of the alliance was deliberately spread to the new country. It would be strange if Yan Liang did not fall into the trap. My lord, this plan is really clever.  "Sun Qian on the other side also praised.

    Liu Bei gently stroked his short beard, his face as calm as water, but in his narrowed eyes, there was a hint of pride inadvertently.

    "As long as Yan Liang is destroyed and the counties of Xinye are captured, if Cao Cao wins the battle of Guandu, I can use Liu Biao to fight against Cao Cao from the north. If Yuan Shao wins, I can take advantage of the situation and use Yuan Shao's power to help me capture Jingzhou in the south. No matter what,  , I can be invincible"

    Liu Bei was thinking about a beautiful blueprint in his heart, and a smile secretly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

    After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei pointed his riding whip at Biyang and said coldly: "Since Yan Liang dare not raise a large army to come, what is the use of Liu Pi? Chief Yun, please pass on the order. Let the whole army be well fed tonight and attack the city early tomorrow morning."

    Liu Bei's tone was full of confidence, as if it was easy to win Biyang.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother, at this time tomorrow, I will ask you to plant your flag at the top of Biyang City.¡±

    Guan Yu accepted the order boldly, and his expression and tone revealed his arrogance of contempt for the world.

    The two brothers looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

    That night, Liu Bei ordered 10,000 troops to march on all sides of the city and surrounded the small Biyang City.

    In order to show his kindness, Liu Bei also ordered hundreds of letters to persuade him to surrender. He asked the archers to shoot into the city first, and persuaded Liu Pi and others not to resist his army with eggs and stones, but to open the city and surrender as soon as possible to avoid the suffering of the war.  .

    When the moon passed in the sky, a body like an iron tower appeared on the top of the city.

    That blade-like gaze looked at the brightly lit Liu Bei camp outside the city, and a trace of strangeness quietly passed over his stern face.

    The sound of footsteps sounded, and Liu Pi hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.

    "General, this is the surrender letter that Liu Bei shot into the city. General, please read it." Liu Pi presented the silk letter with both hands.

    By the light of the torch, Yan Liang glanced at the silk book.

    "Our Uncle Liu Huang is really kind. He keeps saying that he doesn't want all the people in the city to suffer. If you don't attack the city, the people will naturally be spared the suffering of the war."

    Yan Liang sneered, muttering to himself with contempt.

    Liu Pi pointed at the enemy camp outside the city and said with a smile: "Liu Bei forced the city to retreat. It seems that he didn't notice at all. The general's plan is indeed brilliant."

    Liu Pi made no secret of his admiration for Yan Liang in his words.

    Yan Liang smashed the silk book into pieces and threw it into the wind. When his eyes turned to the enemy camp outside the city again, murderous intent was already surging in his eyes.

    "Liu Bei, you provoked me first. Since you came to my door, let me show you my Yan Liang's methods."
