Jingzhou, Xiangyang

Cai Mao discussed with Yue Yue and others at home, "I have already sent troops to guard all directions, except for the West Gate, which is blocked by Tanxi, so I didn't send troops to that place." If Liu Bei escapes when he arrives, our soldiers will find out and inform us in time. ”

"At tomorrow's feast, we will look for an opportunity to kill him!"

Yan Yue was a little worried, and said: "But Liu Bei brought a fierce general, that person is beside him, I can't wait to start." ”

Cai Mao said: "What's so difficult about this, let Wang Wei set up a seat in the outer hall tomorrow, as the location of the generals, he has to go, and then I can act." ”

Yue Yue: "Okay, tomorrow we will get rid of thieves in Jingzhou." ”

The next day, the cattle were slaughtered and the horses were slaughtered, and a feast was held. Liu Bei's Lu Ma went to the state office, and Lu Yu was tied in the back garden.

The officials are in the hall, Chairman Xuande, and the two sons sit on both sides. The rest are divided into seats.

Zhou Cang brought a sword beside Liu Bei, and Wang Wei came to invite, "This warrior, please go to another seat, that's where our generals are." ”

Zhou Cangyan said: "I need to protect the Lord as he approaches, and it is difficult to follow." ”

Liu Beiyan: "You can go to Zhoucang, I'm here, it's fine." ”

Zhou Cang should be peaceful, so he had to go with Wang Wei.

Liu Bei said to everyone: "Today, I will pick up all of you for Brother Jingsheng......"

After the third round of drinking, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Everyone, wait, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back in a while." Then he ran to the backyard, rode Lou, and ran out.

Cai Mao didn't see Liu Bei back for a long time, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she immediately asked someone to look for it, and when she learned that Zhou Cang was no longer there, she knew that the other party must have run away.

Yan Yue said: "Liu Bei must have just left, he can't run far, and there are guards at the city gates, I'll go after it quickly." ”

Liu Bei went to the West Gate, and the soldiers on the West Gate Road saw him and asked, "Where is Uncle Huang going!" Liu Bei didn't say anything. The soldiers then told Cai Mao to leave, and Cai Mao learned that Liu Bei was going to the west gate and immediately led 500 soldiers to follow.

"Ximen has Tanxi, he can't get by!"

Liu Bei crashed out of the west gate all the way, and after traveling for several miles, there was a big stream in front of him, blocking the way. The Tanxi River is very tight, several zhang wide, and it is difficult for horses to cross. Liu Bei had no choice but to stop, and when he looked back, he saw Cai Mao and others chasing after him.

Cai Mao led the army to chase after him and shouted: "Where is Liu Yuanjun going!" ”

Liu Bei shouted: "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me!" ”

Cai Mao said: "I don't have this intention, don't listen to people's nonsense." "The speaker took a bow and arrows from behind, intending to shoot them.

Full bow and arrow, an arrow came out, Liu Bei saw it, immediately rode his horse and dodged, Lu reacted very quickly, easily dodged, Cai Mao took another arrow, and then shot and killed.

At this time, I only heard a shout, "Cai Mao, what are you going to do?" ”

Cai Mao looked back and was shocked. "How so?"

Gongzi Liu Qi and Xu Shu and Yi drove horses to chase after them from behind, and what Cai Mao did just now was all seen. Previously, Xu Shu contacted the Yi nationality, and when Liu Bei was not in the banquet, he took his son Liu Qi to lead a team of people to prepare, and chased after Cai Mao's army.

Yi was originally on Liu Bei's side, so he naturally followed. Liu Qi was even more panicked when he learned that Liu Bei was afraid of being harmed by others, and if Liu Bei didn't help him, it would be more difficult for him to deal with Liu Cong's gang, so he immediately led his troops to come.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Cai Mao didn't care much, so he rode away directly, pulled his bow and shot, "Kill you, I'll plan later!" ”

"Stop!" An arrow came from behind, knocking down Cai Mao's bow, Cai Mao looked back, it was Liu Bei's general, Zhou Cang, who rushed towards him with a long knife.

Cai Mao raised his knife to fight, Zhou Cang slashed with a horizontal knife, Cai Mao turned his horse and connected head-on, the two fought, Cai Mao was a general in Jingzhou, and he was naturally not afraid of this nameless person. In the face of Zhou Cang's fierce offensive, Cai Mao was still able to deal with it. Within ten moves of the two, there is no difference between victory and defeat.

Liu Qi was furious, "Cai Mao still doesn't stop!" ”

Cai Mao saw that it was not a way to keep fighting, so he immediately pulled away and stopped attacking, and Zhou Cang did not pursue.

Liu Qiyi came to ask from the horse, "Cai Mao, what do you mean, you dare to murder your uncle!" ”

Cai Mao said: "I was very worried when I saw that the emperor's uncle was not at the banquet, so I led the troops to look for it." ”

"Nonsense, I saw you draw a bow and want to shoot!" Liu Qi was even more angry when he saw him quibbling.

Cai Mao said again: "Son, you misunderstood, I found Uncle Huang and told him to stop, but he kept running." It's Tanxi in front again, I'm afraid that he will fall into it, so I pulled the bow and signaled him not to move, isn't the emperor okay now? ”

Liu Qi was furious: "You are quibbling, is this uncle trying to harm you!" ”

Liu Bei rode his horse and walked slowly, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew misunderstood, what the general did was not wrong, I thought too much about it, and thought that the general was unpredictable to me." If the general had tried to shoot me, I might have been dead. ”

Cai Mao was shocked, Liu Bei actually helped him speak, and now he saved a lot of effort to explain.

Liu Qi said: "Uncle don't be afraid of him, father will make decisions for you." ”

Liu Bei said: "Eh, it's all a misunderstanding. Today's banquet is over, and I have to go back to Xinye and say goodbye. ”

said that he left with Zhou Cang Xu Shu.

After Cai Mao and the others returned to the city, Liu Qi informed Liu Biao of the matter.

Liu Biao naturally didn't believe Cai Mao's rhetoric, and asked, "What do you mean!" ”

Cai Mao knelt down and said, "The lord must not be deceived by Liu Bei's actions!" This person is hypocritical and righteous, and has the heart to seize Jingzhou, if I don't get rid of him today, there will be a big disaster in the future! ”

Liu Biao said angrily: "You hurt my brother! Push it out and cut it! ”

Mrs. Cai immediately rushed out, crying and begging to avoid death, but Liu Biao was still angry.

On the side, Yi said: "If the lord kills General Cai." Uncle Huang is afraid that he will not be able to live here with peace of mind, and Uncle Huang doesn't care about this matter, just to be able to do this. ”

Liu Biao sighed, "The virtuous brother is really benevolent." ”

immediately blamed Cai Mao and asked his eldest son Liu Qi to go to Xuande to ask for guilt.

Shinno

Shi Yue learned what Xu Shu had done, and praised: "Yuan Zhi's plan is really wonderful, one can relieve Liu Biao's doubts about the lord, the second can weaken the prestige of Cai Mao and others in Liu Biao, and the third can help Liu Qi succeed him." ”

Xu Shu said: "It's a small plan, it's an honor to get the military advisor's words. If the military advisor had made a move, he would have done better than me. ”

Liu Bei was happy, "Neither of them has to be humble, it is my luck to have you." ”

Liu Qi was ordered to come to Xinye, Xuande came to meet him, Liu Qi cried when he saw it, and said honestly that he couldn't live with his uncle, Liu Bei set up a banquet to entertain him, and comforted: "Don't worry about the virtuous nephew, don't blame you, I'm talking, I'm fine." ”

Liu Qi saw that Liu Bei was so righteous, and he cried even more, "Stepmother Cai, often harbors the heart of harming me." The nephew has no plan to avoid disaster, and he asks his uncle for advice! ”

Liu Bei carefully persuaded him to be filial, and naturally there was no disaster.

The next day, Liu Qi said goodbye here.

A county in Jingzhou

Kong Ming came here from Longzhong to a house.

The host entertained him, "What are you doing here with me?" I heard the teacher say, you are going to go out of the mountain. ”

Kong Ming smiled, "That's true, but I came here today to invite you out of the mountain." ”

The master laughed softly, "There is already a 'phoenix' there, I won't go, you take care of yourself." ”

Kong Ming said, "Oh, since that's the case, I won't force it, Shiyuan." ”

"Fulong, phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world, and soon you will become Wolong Pan Feng." The man said, sneering, slightly displeased.
