My father-in-law Guan Yu, I persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang at the beginn

Chapter 2: Some shocking news, Liu Biao was scared to death!
"Liu Bei was not in Xinye, but in Fancheng. That should have been the 208th year of Jian'an, or AD at the latest."

"By this year, Cao Cao has pacified Hebei and severely defeated the Wuhuan. His worries are gone, and he will march south to conquer Jingzhou."

"Liu Biao is seriously ill. He will probably die of fright upon learning that Cao Cao is heading south. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and others will support Liu Cong as the governor of Jingzhou."

"Those two surrenderists will then force Liu Cong to surrender to Cao and hand over Jingzhou."

"Liu Bei was caught off guard and had no choice but to flee south with his people, where he experienced a near-death experience at Changbanpo."

Xiao He's thoughts raced as he searched the timeline.

There is no need to guess too much, the person in front of me must be Liu Bei without a doubt.

The one with red face and long beard must be Guan Yu, and the one with black face is naturally Zhang Fei.

As for the young scholar with a feather fan and a blue robe, there is no doubt that he must be Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon.

As for the young military commander who saved him, Liu Bei called her Yinping and also called her niece. She was most likely Guan Yinping, the daughter of Guan Yu.

In other words, he was saved by Guan Erye's daughter.

"This young man actually recognizes me, Liu Bei?"

Seeing the other party's surprised look, Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder.

But as soon as this question came out, it felt a bit redundant.

I have been living in Jingzhou for almost ten years, and I am well-known to everyone in Jingzhou. Since this strange young man is from Jingzhou, how could he not know my name?

Xiao He collected his thoughts, quickly got up from the couch, and bowed like Liu Bei:
"Liu Yuzhou's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is known to everyone in the world, so how could I not have heard of it?"

"I just didn't expect to be saved by Miss Guan, and have the honor of seeing Liu Yuzhou's elegance."

The words were so beautiful and elegant, he must be a well-read person.

Liu Bei then lowered his guard again and continued to ask:
"I wonder what your name is, sir."

Xiao He hesitated for a moment before answering:
"My surname is Xiao, my given name is He, and my courtesy name is... Bowen."

As a hardcore history enthusiast, Xiao He naturally knew that when choosing a name, the meaning is an extension of the name.

He means warm, so-called gentle and mild.

So he had an idea and gave himself the courtesy name Bo Wen.

When Liu Bei heard that Xiao He also had a courtesy name, he let down his guard even more.

"Xiao He, so your name is Xiao He."

"Why are you dressed so strangely and wandering around in the mountains alone? Aren't you afraid that a tiger will eat you?"

Guan Yinping asked in a crackling voice, her voice as clear as jade beads falling on a plate.

Liu Bei also looked at Xiao He curiously, eager to know the origin of this strange-looking young man.

Xiao He coughed dryly a few times, pretended to pick up the tea bowl to moisten his mouth, and delayed time, thinking quickly about how to respond.

As for his outfit, it was undoubtedly strange in the late Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have been driven away by Cao's soldiers as a madman.

Looking at the table again, it was piled with flashlights, lighters and other things in the backpack, which must have surprised Liu Bei and the others.

How could Liu Bei not be suspicious?

What's more, he has the extremely intelligent Zhuge Liang by his side.

Confessing that you came from another world is definitely unreliable. Who would believe it?

A reasonable identity must be created.

I am just an illegal resident. What kind of identity background can I make up to hide it from Zhuge Liang's keen eyes?

After thinking for a while, Xiao He's eyes flashed and he had an idea.

"I am actually an orphan. I was adopted by my mentor when I was young and have been practicing in the mountains."

"A few days ago, my mentor told me that I had learned a lot and asked me to go down the mountain to gain experience."

"Speaking of which, Miss Guan laughed at me. I have never left the mountains since I was a child, and I didn't expect to get lost in the forest." "Luckily, I was lucky enough to meet Miss Guan. Otherwise, even if I wasn't eaten by a tiger, I would probably starve to death in the forest."

Xiao He made up a bunch of lies in a self-deprecating tone without blushing or beating his heart.

Since a proper identity couldn't be fabricated, he had to use some vague identity like a hermit or a mountain recluse to fool people.

No matter how skeptical Zhuge Liang was, could he be so bored as to go into the deep mountains and forests to verify the truth?

Liu Bei suddenly understood, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared quietly.

No wonder this man is dressed in strange clothes. It turns out he is a hermit practicing in the mountains. This explains it.

As for a hermit, his dress, speech, and behavior are naturally different from those of ordinary mortals.

"Mr. Xiao's strange things..."

Zhuge Liang picked up the lighter and waved it in front of Xiao He.

"Oh, these are the things my master gave me before he left. They are just ordinary items."

"If this gentleman likes it, I will give it to you."

Xiao He said it casually and generously wanted to send Zhuge Liang off.

Zhuge Liang was startled and exchanged glances with Liu Bei and the others with a strange look.

Wow, this magical object that can spit fire with a slight flick is actually an ordinary object in people’s words?

You said you would give it to me as soon as you could, without any reluctance at all?

"Could this person's mentor really be an immortal from another world?"

The same guess emerged in everyone's mind.

Even Zhuge Liang, who believed in keeping a distance from ghosts and gods, had such thoughts in his mind.

"I never thought there was such a secluded place near Fancheng. I'm so sorry for not visiting it sooner."

"After repelling the Cao thieves, I will definitely go into the mountains in person to visit your respected teacher."

Liu Bei looked fascinated, and it was obvious that he believed the identity Xiao He had fabricated.

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, but then became alert again.

Defeat Cao thieves!

Liu Bei just said to wait until Cao Cao is defeated!
That is to say, it is now confirmed that in the autumn of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao had led his army south.

Doesn’t that mean the fall of Jingzhou is imminent?
When Liu Bei fled south and was caught up by Cao Cao and his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at Changban Slope, he would face the most thrilling moment in his life.

If I had followed Liu Bei at that time, wouldn't I have been in danger of life and death and suffered a lot?
After taking a deep breath, Xiao He asked tentatively:
"Liu Yuzhou, I wonder if Jingzhou Governor Liu Jingsheng is still alive?"

This statement came out.

Liu Bei's face changed and he looked at Xiao He in surprise.

Although Liu Biao was in poor health, he soon summoned him to Xiangyang to discuss how to resist if Cao Cao led his army south, and entrusted him to take care of his son in the future.

Why did Xiao He suddenly question Liu Biao's life or death for no reason?

"Why do you ask this, Mr. Xiao?"

Liu Bei asked back with a suspicious look on his face.

Xiao He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"If my calculations are correct, Liu Biao has already died of fright due to Cao Cao's southward advance."

"Cai Mao and Kuai Yue have secretly supported Liu Cong as the new ruler of Jingzhou!"

As soon as the words came out.

Everyone present was shocked.
