This time, the cooperation between Cao Cao and Liu Biao made Liu Bei smell a dangerous atmosphere.

If the two reconcile or even form an alliance, then Liu Bei, who was used by Liu Biao to defend Cao Cao, would have no meaning in existence.

Liu Bei had begun to worry that Liu Biao would sell him out in order to please Cao Cao. Liu Bei was confident that he could still make some money in Cao Cao's mind.

Therefore, Liu Bei was unhappy, very unhappy.

It's already hard to be dependent on someone else, and now I have to worry about whether I will be betrayed.

Liu Bei didn't want to live this kind of life, but he was not strong enough. Both Cao Cao and Liu Biao could easily crush him to death.

However, he still has to rely on Liu Biao to live his life. There is no good way. He is caught between Liu Biao and Cao Cao. His territory is limited and he cannot expand. He cannot expand and his strength cannot be increased.

There has to be a way. Liu Bei secretly thought that he couldn't figure it out, and neither could his men. Although Shen Pei is his number one adviser, he is more interested in military strategy. He has no good solution to Liu Bei's current predicament.

Liu Bei felt more and more that he needed a counselor, a counselor who could help him get out of the predicament.

As a result, Liu Bei began to pay attention to the news about Zhuge Liang that Sun Qian brought back from Youzhou, and the number of spies sent out to search for Zhuge Liang began to increase.

However, Jingzhou is so big that finding one person is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if all Liu Bei's men are sent out, they may not be able to find Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Liu Biao sent someone to invite Liu Bei to the party.

When Liu Bei received the news, he couldn't calm down. The first thought that came to his mind was three words, Hongmen Banquet.

Damn it, is Liu Biao finally having an affair with Cao Cao and preparing to take action on himself?

After Liu Bei received Liu Biao's message, he couldn't sleep at night. He was extremely worried. He couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well. He soon had dark circles under his eyes.

"What do you think?"

Liu Bei finally felt anxious and came down to discuss whether Liu Biao should go to the banquet.

"go!"

The reviewer quickly gave his opinion.

"It may be dangerous if you go."Liu Bei expressed his worries

"Lord, don't worry. Shen

Pei knew what Liu Bei was worried about these days. He smiled slightly and said confidently:"Liu Biao does not dare to attack the lord casually." After all, the lord is also the emperor's uncle. Unless Liu Biao wants to rebel against the court, he will not dare to do anything."

Liu Bei felt a little relieved after hearing the words of the judge. Now he finally felt that his title of imperial uncle was useful.

"But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."

Liu Bei is still worried. Who knows if Liu Biao has reached an agreement with Cao Cao? If Liu Biao is bribed by Cao Cao, let alone the emperor's uncle, in the face of interests, the emperor Liu Biao may be able to do it. Anyway,

Liu Bei feels that he is If you do this, if there are enough benefits, what about the emperor? Kill him first and then talk about it

"If the lord is worried, he can take General Chen Dao and General Fu Tong with him and ask them to bring the lord's bodyguards. With them, even if Liu Biao wants to play any tricks, the lord can escape safely."Jian Pei said.

Chen to Fu Tong are all Liu Bei's generals, commanding Liu Bei's elite white-eared soldiers.

"What's more, if Liu Bei invites the lord, if the lord doesn't go, it may make people unhappy."Shen Pei said.

Liu Bei was depressed. What Shen Pei said was right. Everyone has sent invitations. If he doesn't go, it will only make Liu Biao feel unhappy. Even if Liu Biao doesn't have any objections, Liu Biao's people will have them, especially if they have been Cai Mao was dissatisfied with him.

In Jingzhou, there was a group of Jingzhou guys headed by Cai Mao who had always disliked him and had been very dissatisfied with Liu Biao for handing over the new country to him. If Liu Bei didn't go this time, Cai Mao and others would definitely take advantage of it. , encouraging Liu Biao to take back Xinye.

Liu Bei then felt awe in his heart. He suddenly understood that it was not just Liu Biao, but also some people under Liu Biao hated him and excluded him.

"hateful!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but cursed. It's so depressing to live under someone else's roof.

Although he was very depressed and didn't want to attend Liu Biao's banquet, Liu Bei had to hold his nose.

However, after Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he was warmly received by Liu Biao. Liu Bei's enthusiasm gave Liu Bei a lot of peace of mind. It was still some time before the birthday of Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, so Liu Bei stayed in Xiangyang with peace of mind.

In view of the hostility of people like Cai Mao towards him, Liu Bei took the opportunity to make friends with others.

Although some of Liu Biao's men were hostile Liu Bei, but there are also people who admire Liu Bei very much. Among them, among Liu Biao's subordinates, Yi Ji admires Liu Bei the most. During Liu Bei's days in Xiangyang, Yi Ji often came to visit and talked with Liu Bei very happily.

As for Liu Bei, after Yi Ji's introduction, I got to know many officials under Liu Biao. These people were not from the local families in Jingzhou. They were excluded by the Jingzhou family and had low status under Liu Biao. They were not hostile to Liu Bei. After meeting Liu Bei, they were moved by Liu Bei's crying skills and sweet words. , admired Liu Bei endlessly.

Liu Bei made friends with these low-level officials, but Liu Biao didn't care. Anyway, Liu Bei didn't go to make friends with high-level officials, and it didn't violate the bottom line in his heart, so he let Liu Bei go.

But some people were not satisfied.
