Gangneung City, the temporary residence of Wenpin.

Although Cao Cao took away most of his troops and camped along the river, he could be... Jiangling still left 30,000 steps for Wenpin, most of which are the old department of Wenpin, and the importance of Wenpin... It's not heavy.

It's just that although this gift is heavy, it is difficult for Wen to feel at ease, especially after Liu Cong's death... There has never been a day when Wen Ping has had a good night's sleep.

Late at night, dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is quiet.

The lights of Wenpin's mansion were bright, and just as Wenpin was pondering, he saw the guards guarding the door suddenly walking in quickly.

"General, there are a few people outside the door, claiming to be the general's deceased... Let me pass this on to the general. ”

As he spoke, the guard took out a half-sized jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Wen Ping.

"This..."

took the jade pendant, and when I saw that this jade pendant was red and crystal clear... Wen Ping's expression suddenly changed wildly.

"Go... Invite me to my study! The guards and maidservants in the house... Let them all go down and rest when it's time to rest! Don't go from morning till night... I've been with me. ”

At this time, who is sending someone to Gangneung...?

It's Liu Qi... Still Liu Pan?

Clenching the jade pendant in his hand, Wen Ping's heart fluctuated.

A quarter of an hour later, the study.

"Cai Zhong, Cai He... It's you! ”

Seeing two of them slowly raise their heads, Wen Ping couldn't help but exclaim.

Some time ago, Cai Zhong Cai and the generals of the Cai clan in the army suddenly disappeared from Jiangling, and Wen Ping had to send people to inquire up and down, until after hearing the news of Cai Mao's death, the Cai clan disappeared from Xiangyang City... I withdrew the people who had been scattered, but even so... Wen Ping is still concerned about the whereabouts of the Cai family.

I thought that the Cai family would disappear and disappear from the world, but who would have thought... The two people who used to hide under Cai Mao's wings actually had this kind of single beam and appeared in the heavily guarded Jiangling City.

"General Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Compared with before, after experiencing the death of Cai Mao, shouldering the lives of hundreds of members of the Cai family, Cai Zhong Cai He is undoubtedly much more stable.

"Yes! Wen... I never thought that the two of you would return to Gangneung one day. ”

With a long sigh, Wen Ping's hand holding the jade pendant tightened a little, and his gaze... I couldn't help but glance at the man standing in the middle of Cai Zhongcai and Cai He, with a hat.

With the grievances of the Cai family and Liu Qi and Liu Pan, these two will never take in the Cai family.

So... The origin of this jade pendant!!

"It's... Are you? ”

I don't know how long it took, Wen Ping opened his slightly dry lips and stared at the man... Asked slowly.

"General Wen... It's great to see you again! ”

Facing Wen Ping's complicated gaze, the man paused and lifted his hat... Revealing a hidden face, this person is not Liu Cong... Who could there be?

Now that Cai Mao has died not long ago, according to Zhang Yong's estimate... It won't be long before the Cao clan and the Sun-Liu alliance will start a decisive battle.

At this time... Let Liu Cong come to Nanjun, it is a good opportunity.

"Sure enough! You're really not dead! ”

Looking at the familiar face, Wen Ping's body was shocked, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

After Liu Biao's death, he and Wang Wei made an oath to preserve Liu Biao's bloodline.

But... As Cao Cao led the army south, a series of events happened that were really overwhelming.

After learning the news of Liu Cong's death, Wen Ping was trapped for a long time... Without him, when Liu Qi went to Xiakou, his body and bones were not changing day by day, and he was seriously ill on the couch... I don't know how long I can live, let alone leave a trace of blood for the Liu family!

Fortunately... Liu Cong is not dead!

Wang Wei... It didn't die in vain.

stepped forward to help Wen Ping, Liu Cong's expression... It also gets complicated at this moment.

Zhang Yong is right, even though Wen is hired under the Cao family, but... His loyalty to the Liu family has not changed at all.

This... He could feel it deeply.

If Wen Ping really has different intentions, at the moment when his identity is confirmed... So he took down the three of them.

Although he Liu Cong is no longer a pastor of Jingzhou, in the eyes of Cao Cao, he is only afraid that he is more valuable than when he was a pastor of Jingzhou.

At least... Changing the location of four towns and four flats is still more than wrong.

"Governor! That... What's going on? He... At whose hands did he die? ”

Regarding the attack on Liu Cong, there are different opinions in Jingzhou... I don't know how many versions have been derived.

But in the opinion of Wenpin... There are two kinds of things that are worth scrutinizing, one is a... As the Cao family claimed to the outside world, Liu Cong and his entourage were indeed attacked and killed by robbers or other forces, resulting in Wang Wei's death in battle, and the whereabouts of Liu Cong, Cai's family, and Yu Ban are unknown.

Another... That is, the attack on Liu Cong was directed and acted by Cao Cao... Single-handedly manipulated, Yu Ban was only temporarily hidden by Cao Cao Xue.

"Cao Cao... I want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

"Not long after we crossed the river that day, Yu Ban led the elite cavalry to chase and kill, and General Wang Wei died in the hands of Yu Ban in order to break the queen."

When Cao Cao was mentioned, infinite murderous intent naturally appeared in Liu Cong's eyes.

Yu Ban vs. Zhang Yong... There is still a lot of use.

Knowing that Wang Wei died in the hands of Yu Ban, he was trapped in the current situation... He couldn't do it to avenge Wang Wei, so... All hate! All hatred! In the end, it still has to be counted on Cao Cao.

"Sure enough, it's him!!"

Hearing Liu Cong's reply, Wen Ping was silent for a while.

Liu Cong risked revealing his whereabouts today... He Cai Zhongcai and Cai came together, the meaning of it, even if Liu Cong didn't know what to say, he knew it.

It's just that... Now Cao Cao has more than 800,000 soldiers, and the soldiers are full of food and arrogance!

With only the 30,000 cavalry in his hands, what can he do?

Boil the ocean... It's a self-defeating one.

"If you have a question, I hope the state pastor will solve your doubts!"

arched his hand, and Wen Ping's body gradually sank.

"If General Wen has any questions, just say it!"

"Hi wants to know... On that day, how did the state pastor get out of danger? Who saved the state pastor? Yu Ban... Is it life or death? ”

"This matter... Does the general have to ask? ”

Facing Wen Ping's sharp gaze, Liu Cong hesitated slightly.

Before leaving, Zhang Yong confessed... If it is not necessary, don't expose the Zhang family in Hanzhong.

It's just that the posture of the clerk in front of him... I'm afraid it's time to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"You have to ask!"

In the face of Liu Cong's hesitation, Wenpin did not back down in the slightest.

"The state pastor came to Jiangling at this moment, even if the state pastor didn't say it, Wen Ping also knew what the state pastor meant! It's just that this matter is very important, if you can't sort out the context... Venture to be the enemy of the Cao family!

I'd rather send the state pastor to a deep mountain barren forest far away from the war... Live this life in peace. ”

Seeing that Wenpin's attitude was getting tougher, Liu Cong hesitated for a moment, and finally explained the cause and effect.

"It was Zhang Yong, the son of Hanzhong, who saved me and my mother, as for Yu Ban... is still alive, but imprisoned in Hanzhong by Zhang Yong. ”

"Zhang Yong?"

Frowning, Wen Ping's voice was slightly low.

For Zhang Yong, Wen Ping is naturally no stranger, after all, after Zhang Yong arrived in Fangling, the Jingzhou army was defeated many times by him, and many people were broken.

A few months ago, Jingzhou was turbulent, if you talk about "merit", there should be Zhang Yong.

"How did he show up where?"

"Maybe the general can't believe it! But... Before I left Xiangyang, the people of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong came to the door on the order of Zhang Yong and said... Cao Cao wants to kill me, never again!

I didn't believe it either, but... Leaving a back hand for everything is safer after all, so I asked Zhang Yong for help. ”

"As for what happened next, General Wen already knows..."

After answering all the questions of Wenpin in one breath, Liu Cong seemed to be much more relaxed.

At such a young age, I have endured so much... But there is no one worth talking to, and he is really suffocated.

It's good to put it bluntly... At least, he had run out of options.

The rest depends on how Wenpin chooses.

"The state pastor came to Gangneung this time... It was also instructed by Zhang Yong! ”

At this moment, Wenpin's attention to Zhang Yong increased by several levels.

"That's right! Brother Zhang concluded that Cao Cao would be defeated by the Sun-Liu coalition this time, and the Cao army's strength would be greatly reduced,... If I get the help of the general, I will be able to take Nanjun, and then recover Jingxiang and save my people from Jingxiang in fire and water. ”

"Cao Cao will be defeated?"

Regarding Liu Cong's answer, Wen Ping shook his head disdainfully, not for Liu Cong, but for... Zhang Yong standing behind the scenes.

Whether it's troops, warships... Grain and grass, Cao Jun occupies an advantage several times above, and goes south to Jiangdong... In the end, it's just a matter of time.

"Forgive the writing for being rude! Dare to ask! State pastor... Have you ever thought about why Zhang Yong would be so kind? ”

"What General Wen means, Liu Cong understands! In fact... Brother Zhang didn't deliberately hide his intentions in front of me, and saved me in the barren mountain... Support me to recover Jingzhou, from the very beginning, Zhang Yong's eyes were on the seven counties of Jingxiang. ”

If it was before, Liu Cong would definitely rather die than cooperate with Zhang Yong.

But after experiencing Yu Ban's interception and killing, and after learning the true cause of his father Liu Biao's death from Cai Zhong Cai He, power or something... It is no longer important in Liu Cong's heart.

As long as he can take revenge on the Cao family, don't say that Zhang Yong will take it to the seven counties of Jingxiang... Even if he really gave his life, what would it matter?

He... is no longer the second son of the state priest's mansion who is ignorant of the world!

Rather, a man from the line of death... Crawl out of the Avengers.

"Although Zhang Yong's strategy is extraordinary, his words... It's not a golden rule! Did Zhou Mu ever think about what would happen if the Sun-Liu coalition failed? ”

Even if Liu Cong has the support of the Zhang family in Hanzhong, what can he do?

With the land of the two counties of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong, facing the tiger and wolf division of the Cao clan... And what role can it play?

"General Wen rest assured! The matter... I know it! ”

"Before the Cao clan and Sun Liu's coalition forces decide the victory, I will not act rashly! If Cao Cao wins, everything will naturally not be discussed, and I will look for a deep place in the mountains as the general said... Disappear from my mother! ”

"But if Cao Cao is defeated... Liu Cong begged General Wen to look at my father's face and help me! General Wang Wei can't die in vain... My father can't die in vain..."
