Chapter 114: Liu Biao died

"Yan Lao Er, when will the army set out?" After the horse was happy, he remembered the topic. [With _ dreams]ā』

"Waiting for Lu Bu and Lu Feng to arrive first, the emperor is ready to let him take over your defense to ensure the safety of the army."

"It should be, didn't I say that the master of your family, the Han Emperor is so strong, and he still holds on to his own counties, is he still delusional and wants to compete in the world? A lot of age, and the ambition is not small. ”

"Meng Qi, your brother is now under the command of the emperor, and the Han Emperor is my master. Anyway, Han Sui has a great favor to me after all, and I don't want to speak ill of him behind my back. ”

"That's a puppet who uses you, a hypocrisy."

"Our brother won't talk about him. Meng Qi, you have also prepared early, it is estimated that General Zilong's military order will come soon. ”

"Uh-huh, okay. I'm really looking forward to it, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the few brave generals in the world, I heard that the two of them fought in front of the Tiger Prison, shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods. If I can fight them, tsk, it's exciting. The horse couldn't help but be fascinated.

Liu Biao was in Xiangyang, and when he heard that Jiangdong had lost three counties and that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had been captured, he was nervous, and he didn't know when the Han army would come to Xiangyang City. The Jiangdong army has not broken the friction with itself over the years, Huang Zu shot Sun Jian, the two sides can be regarded as a great hatred, since Sun Ce, he attacked Jiangxia, Huang Zu is worthy of being a veteran of a hundred battles, and the Jiangdong army did not succeed. Now that the threat of Jiangdong has disappeared, a greater threat has arrived, the northern gateway of Xiangyang has been lost, if the Han army captures Jiangdong and attacks Jiangxia, Qi'er doesn't know if it can be stopped? Liu Biao spent every day in torment, worrying excessively, and he didn't feel sick, and he never got up again.

Liu Biao was sick, and Mrs. Cai was in a hurry, so she hurriedly found her eldest brother to discuss, Cai Mao came, and Mrs. Cai hurriedly said: "Jingzhou is sick, it is difficult to be a director, although Liu Cong is the son, but Kuai Yue and others are not convinced, so what can they do?" ”

Although Cai Mao was dismissed from some official positions, the Jingzhou military division lieutenant general was not dismissed, Jingzhou's military power was still firmly in his hands, and when he heard his sister's words, he thought for a while and said: "The army enters the city for a curfew, and the state pastoral government sends many cronies, and it is strictly forbidden to form internal and external alliances." My sister asked the state pastor clearly, first let Liu Cong be the director, supplemented by me, and wait until the state pastor's funeral, Liu Cong will naturally take over Jingzhou. Hmph, just that demented child, Jingzhou will be in the hands of my Cai family sooner or later. ”

Mrs. Cai saw that her brother was confident in what she said, and nodded in agreement.

There was a change in Jingzhou, Liu Bei keenly caught it, and Neiying, who was placed in Liu Biao's mansion, sent accurate news. Liu Bei hurriedly consulted with Pang Tong.

Pang Tong shook the goose feather fan and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "If the lord wants to win Jingzhou, he has three strategies. ”

Liu Beixin said that the phoenix chick is the phoenix chick, and it is really extraordinary, and he said with a smiling face: "I don't know the three strategies, please ask the military advisor to say something." ”

"The military power of Jingzhou has always been in the hands of Cai Mao, and only the soldiers of Jiangxia are in the hands of the prince Liu Qi. The lord can pass the news to the eldest prince, saying that Liu Jingzhou is critically ill, and let the eldest prince lead the army to Xiangyang, and the lord secretly helps and wins the throne of Jingzhou. Liu Qi is cowardly, the wine is colorful, and his life will be difficult for a long time, and when the time comes, the lord will replace him, which is the best policy. Cai Mao and the Jingzhou clan have always been at odds, sending someone to assassinate Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao also, if Cai Mao dies, Xiangyang will be chaotic, the lord as an uncle, assist Liu Cong, stabilize Jingzhou, wait until the overall situation is stable, Yin Jingzhou, this is the middle policy. The next strategy is to sit and watch the various factions in Xiangyang fight, and the lord reaps the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Cai Mao has a lot of followers, and there are many rangers, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate; Sitting and watching the Jingzhou family fight, the military power is now in the hands of Cai Mao, and it is difficult to fight Cai Mao. Now it seems that the best strategy is prudent and the greatest grasp is made. ”

"Congratulations to the lord, Jingzhou will be in the hands of the lord in the near future."

Liu Bei thought about the bright future, stroked his beard, and smiled smugly.

Liu Bei was defeated in Nanyang, and he kept his head in Xiangyang City and made friends with scholars. Unexpectedly got acquainted with Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, Liu Bei talked with him for three days, and finally Liu Bei couldn't help it, and said to Sima Hui: "Preparing for life is not at the right time, turning upside down and dislodging, so that nothing can be accomplished." Now that Liu Ze has stolen the throne of Luoyang, most of the world has fallen into the bag, and after being the king of Zhongshan Jing, he is really unconvinced. If you want to compete with it for the world and return my Han orthodoxy, please help me. ”

Sima Hui said: "The old man has no intention of becoming famous for a long time. Xuande Gong is in Xiangyang, don't you hear the saying 'Sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, if you have one person, you can win the world'? ”

"Sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, I don't know who it is? Please tell me, sir. ”

"It's a pity that Wolong went to Xiangping to study, and I heard that he was under Liu Ze; The phoenix chick is in Xiangyang. ”

"I don't know Feng Xiaozun's surname, do you still want Sima Gong to tell me?" Liu Bei pleaded.

"Haha, the phoenix is in Xiangyang, Xuande will know as soon as he asks." Sima Hui shook his head, got up and ignored Liu Bei, and went to the backyard.

After Liu Bei came back depressed, he asked when he met people, and soon got the specific address of Feng Xiao, so he came to invite him. How do you know that when you meet, the so-called phoenix chick in Sima Hui's mouth, with five short figures, nostrils facing the sky, and both ears to attract wind, it is ugly enough not to laugh, and when you laugh, the big yellow teeth are missing, it is better not to smile. Liu Bei ninja was disgusted and talked to him. Pang Tongyi opened his mouth, and was stunned by Liu Bei, great talent, absolute talent, what kind of astronomy and geography, using troops to set up formations, controlling people's hearts, speaking of one set of things, Liu Bei was heartbroken, and repeatedly begged Pang Tong to come out of the mountain to help, Pang Tong sold enough passes, and then nodded and agreed. Liu Bei was self-assured, talked in detail day and night, and thought he was like a fish in water. Today, I got Pang Tong's three strategies and quietly sent someone to contact Liu Qi. He recruited the old ministry and prepared secretly.

Liu Biao continued to take medicine every day, his illness did not improve, he knew his own family affairs, knew that he was hollowed out by the beautiful lady beside him, and thought of the future in Jingzhou, so he forced people to call Liu Cong.

When Liu Cong came, Liu Biao waved his hand to rebuke the waiter, and said to Liu Cong: "My father's body is getting heavier day by day, and I don't want to come far away." Are you ready to take charge of Jingzhou? ”

Liu Cong cried: "The child is young and has shallow knowledge, so it is really difficult to control Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao said: "It's hard for you to still be a little self-aware. Now that Jingzhou is turbulent, Cai's push you to be the son of the world, not because you are outstanding, but because you are mediocre and easy to control, Cai's ambition is not small, and he wants to be in Jingzhou for a long time. ”

"What?" Liu Cong almost jumped up, "After the Cai family saw me, they were all respectful, saying that after I was the lord of Jingzhou, they would definitely support me wholeheartedly and help me gain a firm foothold." ”

Liu Biao looked at the innocent son in front of him, and said in his heart that your head is really rusty, "Cong'er, you are kind by nature, and you don't know how unpredictable people are." After my death, Liu Ze will inevitably covet it. In the Han world, Liu Ze has already gained most of it, and Jingzhou will definitely be difficult to protect. If the Han army comes, Cong'er, you will open the city and surrender, and take Liu Ze as a person, and you will not lose the position of marquis. My son is a rich man, and he can do it alone. ”

"Father, Liu Xuande has been moving constantly recently, is he also coveting Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei Xiaoxiong also came to Jingzhou to take strict precautions against him for his father, but unexpectedly he had wolf ambitions again. You take this," Liu Biao took out an object and handed it to Liu Cong, "This is a talisman." For his father, Su Fei secretly trained 10,000 horses, all of whom were elites, and if Jingzhou was in turmoil, he held this talisman and ordered Su Fei to lead his troops into the city to quell the chaos. ”

The two of them were talking, and one of them said loudly: "Presumptuous, even I dare to stop it?" It was Cai Mao's voice.

The waiter outside the door said cautiously: "Master Commander, the state pastor has explained that no one is allowed to enter without being summoned." ”

Cai Mao drank: "Am I an outsider? I am a dear member of the state pastor. ”

Liu Biao saw Cai Mao so domineering, although he was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't do it anymore, he waved his hand to Liu Cong, Liu Cong understood, came to the door and said to the waiter: "Let Cai Junshi enter." ”

Cai Mao triumphantly came to Liu Biao's sickbed, did not salute Liu Biao, and opened his mouth to say: "The eldest prince Liu Qi led the army to come to Xiangyang, but I sent troops to stop him halfway. ”

Liu Biao said in a weak voice: "Is it wrong for my father to be critically ill and my son to look at him?" ”

"It's just that the eldest prince has brought more people and horses, a full 30,000, if something happens in Jiangxia, how to deal with it? The state pastor cannot serve as a director, and his subordinates should do their best to share the worries of the state pastor. ”

"My son, don't say that you want to lead 30,000 soldiers, even if you lead 50,000 soldiers, it's no problem, does he want to kill his father? Cong'er, go and pass on my order, let your eldest brother bring troops to come, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, you two brothers join forces, which one of my thoughts in Jingzhou dares to disagree? ”

Cai Mao smiled awkwardly, and when she saw that Liu Cong really went out to give orders, she grabbed Liu Cong and said, "The eldest prince came with the troops, obviously competing with you for the position, doesn't the second prince know?" ”

Liu Cong has always been obedient to Cai Mao, and he actually stopped, and when he was suffering from gains and losses, Liu Biao pointed at Liu Cong and said: "Rebel son, I dare not listen to my father's words." ”

Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao was very weak, and said loudly: "The state shepherd is not clear, and he spreads orders indiscriminately, why should the son pay attention to it?" ”

Liu Biao pointed at Cai Mao, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak, his arms were raised for a long time, his eyes were closed, his arms hung down, and he drove the crane west. Liu Cong still has the heart of a son, and when he saw that Liu Biao was dead, he cried in the corpse. When Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao was dead, she was overjoyed in her heart, and she pretended to cry a few times, so that Jingzhou officials gathered in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

After the officials arrived, Cai Mao pulled Liu Cong to the lobby and said loudly: "The state pastor is dead, Jingzhou cannot be left without an owner for a day." The state pastor had set up a son Liu Cong before his death, and today he was first on the throne, and then mourned. ”

Liu Cong was like a puppet, at the mercy of Cai Mao, he saw Su Fei in the middle of the crowd at a glance, remembered his father's words, and took advantage of Cai Mao's lack of attention, he gave Su Fei a look, and exposed the talisman, Su Fei saw it and quietly withdrew from the lobby.

In Luoyang City, Liu Ze said: "Liu Biao is critically ill, and chaos in Xiangyang is about to start." It's just that Jiangdong is not peaceful, and it is difficult to divide the troops. ”

Xun Yu said: "Let General Zang Ba sit and watch the success or failure, Zhang Liao quietly returned from Hanzhong, once the situation in Xiangyang is in chaos, take the opportunity to send troops, and Xiangyang can be broken." Please let the emperor decide. ”

Liu Ze nodded and said: "Okay, immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book to Zhang Liao, and together with Zang Ba and Xu Rong, wait for the opportunity to take Xiangyang." ”
