It would be better if Liu Bei was willing to give up his current rights. Moreover, he had his brother-in-law Zhuge Liang as a guarantee. In addition, Cai Mao knew very well that if he continued to fight, it would be only a matter of time before Jingzhou was annexed by Ye Zhao. Therefore, under Zhuge Liang's lobbying, Cai Mao did not cut off Liu Bei's military power, but asked Liu Bei to continue to station in Deng County.

"Kong Ming, are you sure that Guan Yu will not attack?" Cai Mao looked at his brother-in-law and frowned.

Guan Yu's name put too much pressure on Cai Mao. Now that Guan Yu has entered Xinye, he is stance that he can cross the river to attack at any time, which makes Cai Mao feel like he is stuck in his throat.

"Don't worry, General Liu is in Deng County, Guan Yu will not come to attack. Ye thief transferred Guan Yu here to lure Cao Cao and Sun Ce to attack. The intention was not Jingxiang, but in the Central Plains. This was the opportunity for us to advance north." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Oh?" Cai Mao was a little moved when he heard this. If he didn't say anything else, it would be a great thing for Jingzhou to take over Nanyang, but he hesitated: "Then Guan Yu has the courage to cross the river, so how easy is it to cross the river?"

Although Lu Bu went to Luoyang, Cai Mao had not experienced Lu Bu's power at the beginning. Guan Yu's current reputation is no less than Lu Bu, so he was still a little scared when he asked Cai Mao to deal with Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu is brave, but his temperament is arrogant. Generals can write letters to show weakness to him, and be disrespectful to his heart, and then attack him without preparation, then Guan Yu can be captured!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Cai Mao still felt a little worried when he heard this. Guan Yu was also a famous general, and he had great military achievements. Cai Mao was not a fool and had some ability to command troops. However, if you want to fight with Guan Yu, Cai Mao would be weaker in nature. However, seeing Zhuge Liang's confidence, Cai Mao thought about it and nodded and agreed, just showing weakness. In fact, there was no need to show that he could beat him. He didn't think he could beat him. He said a few soft words, but it seemed nothing, and he finally agreed to Zhuge Liang's request.

...

Let’s not talk about the matter in Jingzhou for now, but if Liu Bei voluntarily gave up his power and attached himself to Cai Mao, Ye Zhao quickly got news. Not to mention that such a thing cannot be hidden, even if Liu Bei and others could conceal it, with the pervasive secret spies under Ye Zhao’s command and the information of Jingzhou, as long as it is not too secret, happening here, you can find out at most two days when you arrive at Ye Zhao.

"Zhuge Kongming?" Putting down the information in his hand, Ye Zhao's eyes were a little complicated. Perhaps in this era, Zhuge Liang's reputation is only limited to the circle of aristocratic families, but for Ye Zhao, whose soul comes from later generations, this name is really too important.

"I heard that Mr. Shui Jing was watching this person two years ago, saying that he could be at peace with the world. This dragon was Zhuge Kongming." Li Ru thought Ye Zhao didn't recognize Zhuge Liang and explained with a smile: "Liu Bei is quite bold."

Ye Zhao nodded. At this time, Liu Bei was willing to give up his rights. It seemed that he had lost the opportunity to dominate the country, but it left people with the feeling that the overall situation was the priority. His connections in Jingzhou would probably be further improved. If Jingzhou could be so stable, Cai Mao, the actual controller, would probably change his ownership in a few years. With Liu Bei's means, he could still do such a thing.

But Ye Zhao felt a little funny, but Zhuge Liang was indeed worth the price to Liu Bei.

"As soon as the two sons in Jingzhou are fighting, it seems that Zhuge Kongming will take action soon." Ye Zhao knocked on the table and said, "And it will be very soon. There are only 10,000 elite soldiers there, and the rest are civilians, but they are bluffing. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and Yunchang may not be able to fight, but..."

In the current situation in the Central Plains, if he urged his troops to support Guan Yu at this moment, it would be equivalent to giving up the opportunity to unify the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Sun Ce had a chance to breathe, not to mention that Liu Bei was among his opponents. Ye Zhao was really not sure whether Guan Yu could take ruthless actions. It was really difficult to quantify and judge things like emotions. He could only be sure that Guan Yu would not betray him, but with Guan Yu's personality of valuing emotions, if the opponent was really Liu Bei, it would probably have some impact.

"Move Guanping to He/Nan Yin, governor of the military and political affairs in Luoyang, and move Zhao Yun to General Zhennan, lead 5,000 troops to guard Nanyang to prevent accidents!" Ye Zhao sighed. Now the main force is here, and this is his troops sweeping across the Central Plains. He cannot move lightly. The only ones that can be drawn are the troops in Luoyang.

"Lord, how about you going to meet Zhuge Kongming?" Fa Zheng, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked up and looked at Ye Zhao.

Since Jizhou stabilized, he was transferred back to his side by Ye Zhao. The governor of Jizhou was appointed by Gong Fang, a new generation in the academy. Now a big battle is imminent, but Ye Zhao is assisted by Guo Jia and Li Ru. Ye Zhao himself is also the top wise man in the world. Fa Zheng stayed here, but there was actually not much room for his performance, so he wanted to go to Nanyang.

Ye Zhao looked at Fa Zheng, thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, but before Xiaozhi takes action, you won't be known to be you!"

After all, Fa Zheng has become famous with Ye Zhao's side, and his methods and tricks are already well known. If he reveals his identity, Zhuge Liang will prescribe the right medicine, but if he is dormant by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and is an aide, he can be a surprise weapon.

In fact, looking at the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was shocking as soon as he was born, but in fact, Zhuge Liang's ability was not necessarily so amazing. In Ye Zhao's opinion, he was just a thorough understanding of Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and others. So at the beginning, Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei almost as powerful as he was. But in the later stage, he went out to Qishan and nine times to attack the Central Plains. It sounded nice, but in fact he was still a loser. That was because Sima Yi, who stood up later than him, had already learned Zhuge Liang thoroughly. Even if he was unable to defeat him, he could prescribe the right medicine based on Zhuge Liang and the problem of Shu.

Therefore, seeing Sima Yi lose to Zhuge Liang, but the one who loses in the end is often Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Ye Zhao made Fa Zheng more alert and not to show his reputation. As long as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun know his existence, it would be fine. In this way, Zhuge Liang was unprepared and attacked him.

"I obey the order!" Fa Zheng was stunned at first, then reacted, bowed to Ye Zhao, and received the official documents and seals with Ye Zhao, and hurried to Nanyang with several guards.
