Chapter 89 Liu Biao: I didn’t get any cement, but yellow mud fell all over my crotch!

"Liu Biao, you thief, I will never forgive you!"

After hearing the news, Sun Ce's eyes turned red and he said angrily, "My father had already escaped, and even made it through the dangerous Yuzhou, but at the last moment, he was shot to death by Liu Biao! Why did you kill my father? For the sake of cement, you can just take Zhang San away, why kill my father?"

Zhou Yu also had a gloomy look on his face about this.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Of course it's to keep the secret of 'cement'. Only when everyone except Zhang San dies can we ensure that only Liu Biao gets the 'cement'!"

In the final analysis, he, Jiangdong, is also a traitor.

If Liu Biao could keep it all for himself, he would certainly not be willing to share the cement. Liu Bei, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, would do the same.

Therefore, Jiangdong was certain that it was Liu Biao who killed Sun Jian for cement, without any doubt - in fact, there was nothing to doubt, even if Ji Hao really let him go, Jiangdong could only thank him.

Could it be that we could blame him for not killing Sun Jian outright?
As for the night attack on Yuzhou, take a detour through Jingzhou.

It was Sun Jian who took the initiative, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

Although the person who falls into the pit will blame the person who dug the pit, when he climbs out with great difficulty and is about to escape, he is kicked back by someone and he will definitely hate that person.

And now, Liu Biao is that person, and the hatred is at its peak.

Sun Ce immediately ignored the dissuasion and led his army to fight against Jingzhou. The two brothers also united as one and shared the same hatred for the enemy.

For a time, Jingzhou was defeated step by step.

Even Liu Biao was stunned.

"If we can get the cement, it won't be a loss to go to war with Jiangdong. However, if I tell Sun Ce now that I only led people to shoot and kill his father, and I didn't even see the shadow of 'Zhang San', and he was hidden by Sun Jian, will Sun Ce believe it?" Liu Biao said.

In response to this, Cai Mao looked at him with an uncertain expression on his face.

Cement was a secret, and Liu Biao's relatives brought people there.

Even Cai Mao did not intervene.

Now, let alone Jiangdong, Cai Mao even suspected that Liu Biao had secretly hidden Zhang San and wanted to use cement to play some conspiracy to restrain himself and Zhang Yun.

After all, after Huang Zu's death, the military power of Jingzhou fell into the hands of the two of them.

Liu Biao might not be able to sleep.

"What did Liu Xuande say? Is he willing to send troops to help me resist Jiangdong?" Liu Biao asked again.

"King Kaoshan evaded the offer by claiming that the war in Sizhou was tight!" Zhang Yun said, "He also specifically mentioned that although Chang'an City was high, it might not be able to stop Yuan Shao. His implication... was that the Lord should provide cement, or at least share it with the court!"

After a pause, he added: "Otherwise, we probably can't send troops!"

After these words were spoken, Liu Biao became angry instantly.

He flipped the table in front of him and said angrily, "He doesn't believe me either! We are both relatives of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei doesn't believe me. Who else in this world can believe me?"

Liu Biao really didn't expect that not only did he not get the cement, but he also got a crotch full of yellow mud.

To outsiders, it's just shit!
A big shit pot was placed on my face, and it was sticky all over, and it stinks terribly!

"My lord, is it true that you didn't get the cement?" Cai Mao asked.

This surprised Liu Biao.

He immediately broke down completely, grabbed a roast chicken that had fallen on the ground and threw it directly at Cai Mao's face, angrily saying: "Even you don't believe me? I'm so mad at you, I'm so mad at you!"

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even trust his own subordinates, let alone others?

Now everyone in the world thinks that Liu Biao has already obtained the cement, but he always claims that he didn't get it because he wants to keep it for himself. In fact, he is plotting something bad.

Therefore, not only did Sun Ce attack desperately, but Liu Bei was also unwilling to send troops to rescue.

Liu Da'er is not stupid either.

You want to keep the cement for yourself, and someone came to your door and you still hold on to it, and you want me to send troops to rescue you? There is no such thing as a good thing!
Not to mention that Yuan Shao was eyeing the capital, even if Yuan Shao was not there, he would have to find an excuse not to send troops.

If you don’t bring out the cement, we won’t have any contact. We are not familiar with each other!
"This plan has been completed. No matter what happens in the future, Sun Jian is dead, and Jiangdong's hatred is all on Liu Biao!" In Yuzhou, Guo Jia said to Ji Hao: "Even if Jiangdong finds out that everything was planned by us in the future, they will only feel that they were one step behind, and turn around and continue to hate Liu Biao!"

Why do smart people throughout history like to "kill with a borrowed knife"?
That’s because, even if the person being killed knows that you are the one who “borrowed the knife”, he will only hate the knife and not you, because only a few people can see the essence of the matter.

Sun Jian went to war with Ji Hao and took the initiative to attack, so it was only natural that he was tricked.

Ji Hao didn't kill him.

"But Liu Biao seems to be a bit weak. Facing the attacks of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he was defeated step by step." Ji Hao said: "If the price of getting rid of Sun Jian is to let Dongwu take Jingzhou legitimately, then it would be a loss for us. Dongwu, which occupies Jingzhou and can attack or defend, is still a problem even without Sun Jian and his 80,000 veterans!"

For now, Sun Jian’s death has definitely greatly weakened the Eastern Wu.

At least in the short term, they are absolutely unable to attack Yuzhou again.

Logically speaking, they should not be able to capture Jingzhou.

But due to the butterfly effect, Sun Jian died several years later, and Liu Biao's general Huang Zu was gone, as were Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who had not yet become famous but had always served Liu Biao and guarded a city, also gone.

Only Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were left.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Liu Biao felt like a paper-manpowered person. His 300,000 naval forces could not defeat the tens of thousands of soldiers of Eastern Wu.

To be honest, Ji Hao felt that it was not a navy, but a naval army.

A large number of parallel imports.

Could it be that Cao Cao was defeated at the Battle of Red Cliffs because after he took over these troops, they were unable to exert their full fighting power?

In the original novel, Liu Bei only had a few hundred soldiers, but Zhuge Liang wanted him to take Jingzhou!

"So, we can't let them continue fighting, we have to mediate!" Guo Jia said, taking out an imperial edict sent by Liu Bei from Chang'an in the name of the emperor.

As for the content, it was the same as he had estimated before, ordering the princes to send troops to assist the king.

Resist Yuan Shao.

Ji Hao laughed and said, "Liu Bei didn't send it earlier or later, but sent it at this time. He wants us to mediate, right?"

Those who fight for the world are all cunning and cunning.

Since Liu Biao was unwilling to hand over the cement, Liu Bei did not send troops, nor did he want to risk offending the Eastern Wu by mediating.

But we can't really watch Jingzhou being annexed by Eastern Wu.

Otherwise, if Jiangdong becomes powerful and the Han Dynasty is weakened by one state, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, at the critical moment, he gave Ji Hao a "reason" so that he could mediate with justification.

"So, we can only mediate, not reconcile. We can only suppress temporarily, but we can't really suppress it." Guo Jia said: "My lord, you can come forward and ask them to stop temporarily, and join hands with other princes to deal with Yuan Shao. After taking down Yuan Shao, we will encourage Jiangdong to take revenge and force Liu Bei to garrison Jingzhou, so as to cut off the source of Yuan Shao's territory!"
