As soon as the Five Tiger Generals came out, the world was shocked. Although Liu Bei's side did not make a big splash, the existing forces in the world soon received news. While shocked by the fact that there were so many powerful generals under Liu Bei, they became deeply alert. Imagine whether his side could withstand the attacks of so many powerful generals if they fought with Liu Bei.

The one who was most worried about was Cao Cao, who was too close to Liu Bei. Once the Five Tiger Generals on Liu Bei were announced, Cao Cao secretly sent a lot of troops to Dongjun and other places. At the same time, he ordered Yu Jin to pay close attention to Liu Bei's movements at all times.

The last assassination of Han Fei failed, almost all the hidden stakes sent to Liu Bei under Cao Cao were destroyed. In this way, many plans had to be re-planned. During this period, Cao Cao's secret accomplice Xi Zhi had discussed for a long time, and then Xi Zhi left Xuchang and disappeared. It was obvious that he was planning a major event against Liu Bei.

The influence of the Five Tiger Generals on Liu Bei's side has not been eliminated, and something happened again! The situation in the world has changed again. This is when Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia. His general Zhou Taizhen killed Jiangxia's prefect Huang Zu. Huang Zu's general Su Fei wanted to avenge the old master, but was killed by Ling Tong who later followed.

This time, the Jiangxia army was in chaos and was defeated by Sun Quan's army. Jiangxia was about to make a move. At the critical moment, Liu Pan brought people to help. His general Huang Zhong fought against the generals under Sun Quan but was undefeated. In addition, Liu Pan led his men to integrate Jiangxia's defeated troops, which made Jiangxia City stable.

Seeing that he could not get any advantage, Sun Quan ordered the troops to withdraw. He took Huang Zu's head to pay tribute to his deceased father Sun Jian. After Sun Quan's army retreated, Liu Pan hurriedly wrote a letter to his uncle Liu Biao. Liu Biao was seriously ill at this moment and fainted immediately after hearing the urgent retribution. Fortunately, he was rescued in a while, so he ordered Liu Pan to take over as the prefect of Jiangxia and told him to guard Jiangxia well and not let Sun Quan have the opportunity to take advantage.

After Liu Pan received the order, he stationed in Jiangxia with his subordinates. At this time, the eldest son Liu Qi was still in Fancheng to defend Cao Cao in the north, and Liu Biao, the governor of Zhongzhou in Xiangyang, had no more soldiers available. Cai Mao felt that the time was coming, so he began to secretly send people to Xuchang to contact Cao Cao, hoping to force confession and surrender to Cao Cao with the nine counties of Jingxiang.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was very happy. So he recruited a confidant adviser to discuss countermeasures. Cheng Yu was the first to speak: "Lord, this is a good opportunity for God. It is time for the lord to take all the land of Jingzhou. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has rarely affected Jingzhou until now, and the troops are in full bloom. If the lord can obtain Jingzhou, our army's military strength will definitely increase greatly, and we will not be afraid of Liu Bei at that time."

Cao Cao nodded immediately after hearing this, "What Zhongde said is exactly what I want, but this Jingzhou is a brilliant person. I may not be able to make contributions!"

"Oh, lord, don't worry too much! Liu Qi's son is just a slandering scholar. Wen Pin is a little capable, but it's tantamount to trying to stop my dignified master from Fancheng. It's like a mantis arm blocking a car without overestimating his ability!" This was Chen Jiao who said this. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile. Obviously, he agreed with Chen Jiao's words very much.

At this time, Xun Yu spoke: "It's the middle of winter, and the weather is cold, and the soldiers are also looking forward to the New Year and will definitely be tired of war! It's better to wait for the spring to bloom before using troops!"

Although Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu was right, he was very proud at the moment. He didn't want to listen to the remarks that poured cold water. He immediately said unhappy: "If Wen should pay more attention to the logistics of people's livelihood, you will not have to worry about when you march!"

This is quite rude, and the meaning is very obvious. Just Xun Yu pays attention to people's livelihood and logistics, so just don't worry about anything else. Xun Yu sighed in his heart when he heard this, why didn't he know why Cao Cao got angry? But everyone has their own persistence in his heart, and even if he is excluded by Cao Cao, he doesn't want to change his position.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, felt unbearable when he was about to speak, and he was about to speak again. "My lord, since the Cai family intends to surrender, they must have a letter of vote. Then Liu Biao's head, the lid, is presented to the lord!" It was Sima Yi who spoke.

After the Battle of Julu City, Sima Yi finally showed his head and feet, and at this moment he was also trained by Cao Cao as a confidant. At this moment, he was eager to show his expression and spoke up as a vicious plan. When Cao Cao heard this, he looked directly at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, if I handed this matter to you, how long will it take to achieve success?"

Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "If the lord is responsible for this matter, there will be a reply in more than a month."

"Okay, you will set off tomorrow. When you arrive in Xiangyang City, someone will be able to accept you. If you make contributions this time, I will not hesitate to reward you!" Cao Cao slapped the table and said.

Sima Yi said excitedly, "I will live up to the lord's entrustedness." When everyone saw Cao Cao decided not to speak at the moment, Guo Jia took the words back. At this moment, Cao Cao had been promoted to the prime minister for a long time, and unconsciously became more and more majestic. He could not tolerate any objection, that is, he could still listen to Guo Jia's words. However, Guo Jia did not want to disobey him in ordinary matters.

It was just said that Sima Yi returned home to pack his luggage and was preparing to go to Jingzhou early tomorrow morning. At this time, the door sounded lightly and someone knocked on the door outside. Sima Yi asked, "Who is it?"

"Third brother is me!"

"Oh, why is this brother?" Sima Yi hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was his eldest brother Sima Lang. Sima Lang also served under Cao Cao and is now the prefect of Hanoi. But how could he come to Xuchang quietly?

"I happened to come to Xuchang to report my duties, and then I will go to Luoyang to be the prefect." It seemed like I was talking, or answering Sima Yi's question, and walked into the house while talking. Sima Yi knew that his elder brother must have something to do here, so he hurriedly closed the door and came to sit next to his elder brother.

At this time, Sima Lang said, "Third brother, I just heard that you volunteered to go to Jingzhou, is there any such incident?"

"But there is this, but..."

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Sima Lang waved his hand and said, "I don't need to know the reason. I just want to remind you, don't forget that you are from the Sima family. You naturally know what my ancestors are, and I won't say much. This time you go to Jingzhou to death, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of death! At that time, how can you complete the mission of my Sima family?"

Sima Yi was silent for a moment and whispered: "I want to support the Cao family first and then replace it. It takes three generations of efforts to achieve success after one generation of our air. For the sake of today, we must first support the Cao family. If the Cao family is not strong, my plan will be impossible to implement."

"It's good if you have arrangements in your mind. Please pay more attention to safety when you go to Jingzhou. If you hold this sign, there are still some people in my Sima family. When you get there, someone will contact you. Remember that the surname left will turn around." Sima Lang handed a iron sign to Sima Yi and left. Sima Yi held the iron sign in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time.
