"Nanjun? It is very close to Jiangdong, and at this time, our army has suffered such a great loss, how can Nanjun be a safe place!? ”

Cai Mao's face changed greatly, and she shouted fiercely. Jing Xiang was flat and replied softly.

"General Cai, don't be impatient. Nowadays, there are many voices of rebellion against General Cai in Jingzhou, and the big-eared thief has won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and now he has a big advantage, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Jingzhou will fall into the hands of this person. If you don't count the 10,000 troops in Wuling, General Cai only has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left. How can you resist the strength of the big-eared thief? There is a plan to make the people of Jingxiang as safe as Mount Tai, and to protect the name of the general. ”

When Cai Mao heard this, his originally dull eyes burst into bright light, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw in a desperate situation, and hurriedly asked Jing Xiang.

"Will the plan be released? Come on! ”

Jing Xiang bowed his hand and bowed first, and then condensed and said.

"It's better to dedicate the nine counties of Jingxiang to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce will treat the lord seriously! The Sun clan sits in Jiangdong, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, with nearly 200,000 soldiers, and the elite soldiers of various departments have been trained and stored in Jiangdong for a long time. And there are countless fierce generals under the command of the Sun family, such as its lord Sun Bofu, Zhou Youping, Huang Gongfu, Cheng Demou, etc., all of whom have invincible bravery. All the ministers are outstanding people in the world, especially that Zhou Gongjin is known as the world's first wise man by the world, this person is as wise as a demon, and he comes with a strategic strategy, and he has a way to command the army, and he has never been defeated since he entered the command of the Sun family. With this person in charge, we don't have to be afraid of Zhuge Liang's scheme. Moreover, Lu Su, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao are all famous strategists. If the general gets the help of Jiangdong, he will be able to exterminate the evil power of the big-eared thief!! ”

When Cai Mao heard this, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted loudly.

"What is the word!! I was ordered by the ancestor to be alone with me in danger, and now if I ignore the safety of my son, I will flee away, and then give the land of Jingxiang to the hands of others!! This is really a great rebellion!! ”

At this moment, Deng Yi on the side also echoed.

"Jing Zhuangshi's words are yes. There is a general situation in the husband's adversity, and there is a fixed trend in the strength and weakness. Today, there are many big-eared thieves who are like thieves, and many of our soldiers were captured in the previous battle, and with the hypocrisy of the big-eared thieves, I am afraid that these captives will not be long before they are confused by them and surrender to their command. At present, the big-eared thief is powerful, and he has won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and the general refuses to do so, like hitting a stone with an egg, and blocking the car with his mantis arm.

And at this time, Jingzhou was in trouble, and internal worries were made again. Our army has been defeated repeatedly, but when we hear the name of the big-eared thief and Zhuge Liang, the soldiers in the army are afraid to chill before fighting, can An be the enemy with it? “

Cai Mao's face changed continuously, and her eyes couldn't help showing a bit of sadness. He originally sat in the land of Jingzhou, with nearly 140,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but he fell to such a point in a blink of an eye. Cai Mao knew that this was all due to Zhuge Liang's strategy, although Zhuge Liang had not been out of the mountain for a long time, and Cai Mao only had a few battles. But if Cai Mao is the most feared person in his life, it must be this Zhuge Liang. This time, he can be said to have been completely defeated, if he hadn't been able to save the dead many times, he would have died in Jiuquan.

Cai Mao sighed in pain and said slowly.

"The good words of the princes, I don't obey them, but with the cause of the ancestors, once I abandon the Jiangdong Sun family, I am afraid that I will laugh at the ears of the world."

Hearing this, Jing Xiang smiled coldly, his eyes were impressive, and he looked at Cai Mao.

"How did the general expect to be better than the big-eared thief?"

Cai Mao gritted her teeth and forced out three words.

"Nope! As! Also! ”

Jing Xiang spoke sharply, and then said again.

"The big-eared thieves are strong and brave, and Zhuge Liang is resourceful. First defeated Cao Zixiao's 50,000 army, and then repeatedly plotted, attacked the water plan, destroyed the general's 80,000 soldiers and horses in Xinye, and now it has Xiangyang. Its momentum rises and is irresistible. If Wuling is really as I said, it has been taken, how can the general have the power to return to heaven. The strategy of the Sun family in Jiangdong is a long-term strategy. The general must not hesitate to regret it. ”

"Yes, too! I hope the general will not hesitate any longer. Otherwise, once the big-eared thief is built, the world is so big, and the only ones who can match it are Cao, Wen, and Sun! ”

Deng Yi echoed. Cai Mao sighed again in extreme pain.

"The public opinion is very good. I know how to choose! ”

After Cai Mao finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to rush to Nanjun immediately. Although Cai Mao was unwilling to dedicate the nine counties of Jingxiang to the Sun family in Jiangdong. But compared to the monstrous hatred between him and Liu Bei, no matter how unwilling he was, he was willing to do it!!

Cai Mao and the remnants of the defeated army rushed to Nanjun, Cai Mao gritted his teeth stubbornly, his eyes were black and full of endless anger, and he roared loudly in his heart.

"Big-eared thief, Zhuge Kongming!! You have forced me to be so depressed, if I don't kill you and the other two with your own hands!! I, Cai Deqi, swear not to be a !!!! ”

Cai Mao's general trend has been lost, like a lost dog, defeated Nanjun. And as Jing Xiang expected, Wuling has fallen into the hands of Tai Shi Ci, and not far away, Tai Shi Ci has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and is in ambush, waiting for Cai Mao to throw himself into the net!

In a certain mountain range in the realm of Wuling, Tai Shici waited for Cai Mao for a long time, but he still didn't see Cai Mao. Tai Shi Ci remembered Zhuge Liang's previous instructions, his eyes were slightly shocked, and he hurriedly ordered a team to ride forward to investigate. Half an hour later, the pair of fast horsemen returned, and sure enough, they noticed the movement of an army of soldiers and horses several miles away. But suddenly, he changed direction and went in the direction of Nangun. Tai Shi Ci listened, his eyes became slightly solemn, and he said secretly.

It seems that it is indeed as expected by the military advisor, and Cao Cao's people are indeed lurking around Cai Deqi. Now that Cai Deqi has turned to Nanjun, he must be going to ask the Jiangdong Sun family for help! ”

Zhuge Liang is more intelligent than demons, don't you know that Cao Cao suddenly rewarded Liu Bei again, there must be a plan, and later rumors spread in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang has gradually suspected that Cao Cao wants to take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness to make Jingzhou chaos. Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Cao's advisers were all outstanding people, especially Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who should not be underestimated. Cao Cao's move will be more than that. Zhuge Liang probably guessed that Cao Cao should send someone to lurk around Cai Mao and then instigate it.

As Zhuge Liang expected, the Jing Xiang was the meticulous work that Cao Cao arranged to ambush beside Cai Mao. Jing Xiang was originally a native of Qingzhou, and had been fighting with Cao Cao for five or six years, and because of his careful thinking and bravery, he was now in the Tiger Guard Army under Cao Cao, and served as the captain. Jing Xiang was instructed by Guo Jiazhi to come to Jingzhou alone half a year ago, took refuge in Cai Mao, and has been waiting for an opportunity.

At present, the situation is developing as predicted by Guo Jia, Cai Mao was defeated by Liu Bei and has been cornered. Jing Xiang took the opportunity to advise him and asked him to ask for help from the Jiangdong Sun family. Once Sun Ce really takes advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou and sends troops to attack, the situation in Jingzhou will be turned upside down, and it is still unknown who will be the final victor under the mixing of multiple forces. What happens next, but wait and see what happens.

However, it was said that Tai Shici found out that Cai Mao had left Nanjun, and immediately sent someone back to Fancheng to report. At this time, Xiangyang and Wuling had fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's power suddenly soared, and the rising trend was surprisingly fast.

The other side is in Jiangxia County. Before Cai Mao sent troops to Xinye, Liu Qi returned to Xiling City, Jiangxia, escorted by a team of cavalry.

At this time, Han Xuan had just received a secret order from Cai Mao and knew that Jingzhou was about to be in chaos. The secret order issued by Cai Mao was to order Han Xuan to secretly kill Liu Qi if he returned to Jiangxia. Although Han Xuan is vulgar, he is a meticulous person, he knows that Cai Mao is powerful, supports the army and is self-respecting, Liu Biao is seriously ill, and Jingzhou will fall into the hands of the Cai family sooner or later, so he has already secretly surrendered to Cai Mao.

Han Xuan was overjoyed when he learned that Liu Qi had returned, thinking that if he eradicated Liu Qi's henchman for Cai Mao, he would be rewarded by Cai Mao. However, Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son after all, and Han Xuan does not dare to blatantly kill him. After Han Xuan made up his mind, he went out of the city to greet him in person. Han Xuan had seen Liu Qi, and after the two of them finished saluting, Han Xuan immediately asked Liu Qi nervously.

"The eldest prince has seen the winner!? How is the lord's condition!? ”

Although Liu Qi is cowardly by nature, his vision of knowing people is not bad, and he already knew that Han Xuan, a traitor, had secretly surrendered to the Cai family. Liu Qi sneered in his heart and said secretly.

"Traitor, let you run rampant for a while, and sooner or later you will be headed!"

After Liu Qi finished thinking about it, he immediately burst into tears and cried to Han Xuan.

"My father is seriously ill and dying, but Cai Deqi has people guarding the outer doors of the house and not letting me see him. Qi asked for no use, and searched for important ministers in the city, but no one paid attention. In despair, Qi had no choice but to return to Jiangxia, hoping to keep this place, so that my father could rest assured and be healthy as soon as possible. ”

"Cai Deqi dares to do this!! Eldest prince, if I don't wait for Jiangxia to raise troops and kill Hanshou, I don't believe that Cai Deqi will stop him more!! ”

When Han Xuan heard this, he pretended to be angry and shouted. Liu Qi knew that he was hypocritical, but he didn't expose it, and shook his head and hurriedly persuaded him.

"General Han is calm for a while. General Cai said, saying that Qi was ordered by his father to guard Jiangxia, and his responsibility was very heavy, and he left his post a few days ago without permission and went to meet him. Qi thought about it carefully, and felt that it was so. The Cai family, merit is like the sea, and Jingzhou can be stable thanks to its strength. General Han must not act rashly and chill Cai's heart. ”

In Liu Qi's eyes, Han Xuan noticed a little fear, and secretly laughed in his heart that Liu Qi was cowardly and useless. The two talked for a while, and Han Xuan led Liu Qi into the city, and Liu Qi and a group of servants all went back to the county government in the city to rest.

After Han Xuan said goodbye to Liu Qi, he immediately sent someone to summon Chen Heng, Jin Xuan, and Gong Zhisan to discuss in the mansion. Chen Hengxian said.

"It's better for the general to set up a banquet in the mansion and invite him to a banquet, ostensibly to catch the wind and wash the dust, but secretly ambush the knife and axeman. We waited for the three generals to lead the army to hide in the mansion, and the general took the cup as a sign. As soon as I heard the sound, I immediately led the army out and cut that Liu Qi into meat sauce! ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Chen Heng, Jin Xuan, and Gong Zhi to make arrangements. At the same time, on the other side, after Liu Qi returned to the county office, he did not rest, but rushed towards Huang Zhong's mansion in the city with several people.

Liu Qi came back to Jiangxia this time, but he acted according to Zhuge Liang's strategy. In Zhuge Liang's strategy, Huang Zhong is a crucial figure. As Liu Qi walked, he remembered the words of Zhuge Liang in the past.

"Huang Hansheng is a loyal and righteous man, although he is nearly fifty years old this year, he has the courage of ten thousand people. And this person is very famous in Jiangxia, deeply loved by the military and civilians, and is known as the Jiangxia barrier. If the eldest prince wants to stabilize Jiangxia, he must say that this person can help, and he will succeed immediately. ”

Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Qi naturally kept it in mind. At that moment, Liu Qi came to Huang Zhong's mansion, and after the report was completed, Huang Zhong rushed out and greeted him.

"The last general Huang Hansheng has seen the eldest son, and he has missed the distance, and I hope that the eldest prince will not be blamed."

Huang Zhong bowed his hand, humble and polite, without any pretense.

Liu Qi was humble to others, and his reputation for cowardice was well known, so the general bureaucrats in Jingzhou had no respect for Liu Qi. Like Huang Zhong, there is absolutely nothing. Liu Qi immediately had a good impression of Huang Zhong, and after talking to Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was about to invite Liu Qi into the house to speak. Suddenly, Huang Zhong's face changed, and a pair of tiger eyes projected a huge brilliance, staring at the person behind Liu Qi.

I saw that the man looked very strange, his burly body was as huge as three men, his arms were like the power of tearing a tiger and a lion, and his eyes were full of a momentum of devouring the sky.
