After Zhuge Liang asked this, Liu Bei did not say anything again.

After being entrenched in Xinye for a long time, he has made many friends in Jingzhou in recent years.

Nowadays, many people in Jingzhou even advocate that if he gets Jingzhou, he will definitely be able to conquer the Cao family.

Fortunately, there were Kuai family and Cai family in Jingzhou. These families curbed Liu Bei's power and did not find a chance to replace him yet.

"Mr. Kong Ming is right." Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei from the side: "Brother has issued a strict order and no one is allowed to escape from Xinye. When we leave in the future, as long as we bring these people with us, the Cao family will be afraid of the rat and dare not do anything."

"Talking nonsense! I glared at him fiercely, and Liu Bei said, "The people who escape from their hometown must be lost and die more than at home. I can't bear to suffer the people, so I forced them to escape. When our army evacuated, I really wanted to take the people with me, but just because I was reluctant to leave them, I wanted to do my best to protect them. How could it be like you thought?"

After being scolded by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei did not say anything again.

"The lord is kind and righteous, and he cares about the people." Zhuge Liang said: "The people of Xinye must also be concerned about the lord who cannot bear to separate. It is reasonable to bring them with him at that time."

"Kong Ming understands me." Liu Bei sighed and said, "The people are suffering in troubled times, so how can I bear to give up them?"

"Send the order." Liu Bei said: "I will never abandon them when I tell the people of Xinye. If I really want to leave Xinye, I will definitely take them away with me. With the protection of the army, they will have more chances to survive."

Liu Bei's order was passed into the city, and the people of Xinye, who were already desperate, became even more desperate.

The people were eager for Liu Bei to leave them behind and run for their lives.

If Liu Bei left, the Cao family might not have attacked Xinye, and many people would not have to die in the war.

From the moment of sending troops, Cao Shu knew that this time they entered Jingzhou, their real enemy was not the Jingzhou army.

The Jingzhou army was already scared by him, and the Cao family was advancing with hundreds of thousands of troops on their own. Where did Liu Cong, who took over Jingzhou, become enemies with the Cao family?

Cao Shu led his army to Yingchuan, and Cao Cao's army set out from Yecheng.

Huo Wu, who was dormant in Xinye, heard news that Liu Bei was reluctant to give up the people to suffer and ordered the city gate to be closed and no one was allowed to leave the city without authorization.

Inside the government office of Yingchuan City.

Cao Shu sat in the front seat of the front hall, while Pang Tong and others sat on both sides.

"I really admire Liu Xuande." After hearing Huo Wu's news, Cao Shu grinned and said to everyone sitting there: "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. I obviously planned to use the people as shields, but I just made the reason so high-sounding."

"Liu Xuande is not hypocritical for a day or two." Pang Tong said: "The young master knows a lot about him. Does he still feel strange when he does this?"

"I don't think it's strange." Cao Shuo said: "I just think Liu Xuande's face is too thick. Many people say I'm shameless, but compared with him, I feel that I'm still too pure."

"How can you compare yourself to Liu Xuande?" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Liu Xuande was originally a villain who weaved mats and shoes. He used to deceive hygiene by cheating. If he was not hypocritical, how could he survive in this world?"

"Zhongda is saying," Cao Shu said, "It's just that I have a strange problem. When I meet hypocritical people, I always want to slap them twice. Liu Xuande's hypocrisy has reached the point that makes me want to cut off his head. Is there any way for you to use this battle to pull off his face and take a look?"

"What's the difficulty?" Sima Yi stood up: "Please give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will definitely let Liu Xuande's hypocritical face be revealed."

"What are Zhongda's plans?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Go back to the young master." Sima Yi said: "Liu Xuande has 20,000 or 30,000 troops. Our army only went to 5,000 to build stone throwing cars outside the city. Seeing that our army had few soldiers, he would definitely lead the army out of the city to attack. At that time, I will lead him to lead him, and the young master will allocate another army to Xinye."

Cao Shu nodded: "This idea is a good one."

He then said, "But I didn't plan to take Shinno directly."

"What are the plans of the young master?" Xu Shu asked.

"Since I want to fight, of course I will really fight." Cao Shu said: "I arranged a lot of Huo Wu in Xinye City in advance. When the army arrived, I just built a catapult cart outside the city. Seeing that there were many soldiers in our country, Liu Xuande would definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight. At that time, Huo Wu set a fire in the city and roasted Liu Xuande well."

"Huo Wu set fire in the city, I'm afraid the people of Xinye will..." Xu Shu said with a frown.

"Xinye is occupied by our army, and the people are our people." Cao Shuo said: "The city is still in the hands of Liu Xuande, so he should be responsible for the people. No matter what method our army uses, how many casualties caused by the people have nothing directly to us, and all the blame should be borne by Liu Xuande."

"Young Master is right." Sima Yi said: "Liu Xuande wants to use the people as meat shields. If we throw ourselves into the mouse and avoid being attacked, we will fall into his plan."

"It's not my people, I worry about those things." Cao Ruo smiled coldly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Of course, people will die if they accomplish great things. As long as the people who die are not ours, I will not frown no matter how much they lose. Liu Xuande wanted me to be afraid of the mouse, the best way was to give Xinye to me. Only then would I be responsible to the Xinye people and not give anyone the chance to hurt them."

"Young master is wise!" Sima Yi and others responded one after another.

After making the decision to advance to Xinye, Cao Shu sent a messenger to deliver a letter to Cao Cao who had not arrived in Yingchuan, reporting to him the movements of the army, and he himself led the army into the boundary of Jingzhou.

When Cao Shu entered Jingzhou, there was no resistance in the cities he passed by, and they opened the city to offer surrender.

After advancing to the heart of Jingzhou for more than half a month, he had never even fought a decent battle along the way, and the soldiers felt a little bored.

Following Cao Shu, Lu Bu looked forward and asked, "Young Master, when will you arrive in Xinye?"

"The distance shouldn't be long," Cao Shuo said: "It is expected that the situation will happen when attacking Jingzhou."

"I have heard that the Danyang soldiers under Liu Jingsheng's command are good at fighting." Lu Bu sighed: "I thought I could fight a few times when I came here, but I didn't expect this to happen."

"General Lu, don't be anxious." Cao Shuo said: "When we arrive in Xinye, we have a battle to fight."
