Pan Feng thought for a while, and then said.

"My brother was suspicious and speechless. Liu Jingzhou had no intention of reproach. The words of outsiders should not be believed. Xiangyang is not far from here, if you don't go, Liu Jingzhou will be suspicious. ”

"What Wushuang said is true."

"Hey! There is no good feast, there will be no good feast, my brother might as well not go. If Liu Jingsheng dares to use troops against his brother, his brother can take this opportunity to take Jingzhou! ”

Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily. When Liu Bei heard this, he naturally couldn't help but scold Zhang Fei. After that, there was a little silence in the field, and Tai Shici suddenly walked out of the invitation.

"What the two generals Pan and Zhang said is reasonable. There is a compromise. A certain person is willing to lead 500 horses and infantry troops to go with him, and ensure that the lord is fine! ”

"That's very good."

Liu Bei immediately listened to Tai Shici's words, and rushed to Xiangyang with 500 horses and infantry on the same day. Cai Mao went out of Guo to greet her, with thoughtful etiquette and humility. Subsequently, Liu Qi and Liu Cong's two sons led a group of civil and military bureaucrats to greet them. Liu Bei saw that the two sons were there, and he was not suspicious.

On that day, please take a break in the building. Tai Shi Ci led 500 troops around the protection.

Tai Shi Ci wore armor and hung a sword, and sat on the left and right. Liu Qi came to look for Liu Bei, and saw that the building was surrounded by soldiers and horses, and after seeing Liu Bei, he hurriedly comforted him.

"My father was angry. Unable to act, I specially invited my uncle to entertain the guests and persuade the officials who kept the collection everywhere. My father was devoted to my uncle. Don't be suspicious of my uncle.

"The virtuous nephew is too careful. I am so favored by my brother that I dare not make a mistake. ”

Liu Qi was a little relieved when he heard this. After that, the two talked at night before they dispersed.

The next day, people reported that the officials of the 42 counties of the nine counties of Jingzhou had all arrived. Cai Mao secretly searched for a plan.

"Liu Bei is the hero of the world, if he stays here for a long time, he will be harmed in the future, but he can be removed today."

Kuai Yue was shocked when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and refused.

"Uncle Liu Huang has won the hearts of the people, if he is killed unreasonably, I am afraid that he will lose the hope of the people."

"I have secretly received Liu Jingzhou's words here. This is Liu Jingzhou's meaning! Don't hesitate, sir, you have lost a big thing! ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, after groaning for a while, he sighed and replied.

"Since it is the order of the lord, how dare you disobey, but you can prepare in advance."

Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, he wanted to kill Liu Bei three or four times before, but he didn't succeed, this time he deliberately laid a net of heaven and earth, and would never give Liu Bei the slightest chance again!

"Big-eared thief! It's hard for you to fly this time!!! ”

Cai Mao's face was cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly.

"This time, in order to kill the big-eared thief, I have made careful preparations. The east gate of the mountain road, has made my brother Cai He lead the army to guard, the south gate has made Cai Zhong guard, the north gate has made Cai Xun guard. There is no need to guard the west gate. There is a Tanxi River in front of the west of the city, although there are tens of thousands of people, it is also sad! ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, the people guarding the door were all from the Cai clan, his face changed slightly, and he thought that Cai Mao's hatred for Liu Bei was not ordinary. If Liu Biao really ordered Liu Bei to kill Liu Bei this time, most of them also listened to Cai Mao's slander.

"In the twilight of the lord's life, it seems that the power of Jingzhou will fall into the hands of the Cai family in the future. Eh, it seems that I also have to prepare for my future career. ”

After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Kuai Yue intended to help Cai Mao kill Liu Bei in order to win his favor, that is, he said.

"I see that Taishi Ziyi can't sit away from the big-eared thief, Taishi Ziyi has the courage of ten thousand people, if you want to kill the big-eared thief from his side, I'm afraid it's difficult to start. It is better to ambush 500 troops in the city and prepare them. Then ask Wen Ping and Wang Wei to set up another seat in the outer hall to wait for the generals. Please live in Taishi Ziyi first, and then you can act. ”

Cai Mao was overjoyed when she heard this, and she also saw Kuai Yue's heart, so she followed her words and immediately prepared secretly.

On the same day, Cai Mao killed cattle and horses, feasted on a large scale, and invited Jingzhou civil and military. Liu Bei's Luma went to the state ya, and he was ordered to be tied to the back garden. All the officials were in the hall. Liu Bei became the chairman, the two sons sat on both sides, and the rest sat in turn. Tai Shi Ci stood on the side of Xuande with a sword. Wen Ping and Wang Wei invited Tai Shici to the banquet. Tai Shici couldn't refuse. During the dispute between the three, Wen Ping suddenly whispered a few words in Tai Shici's ear. Tai Shi Ci's face changed drastically, and then Liu Bei ordered Tai Shi Ci to sit at the table, and Tai Shi Ci took the opportunity to say a few words in Liu Bei's ear, so he came out at the order.

Liu Bei's face was full of surprise, it turned out that Wen Ping told Tai Shici just now that Cai Mao designed to harm Liu Bei, and there were military horses guarding the eastern, southern, and northern parts of the city. Only Ximen can go, let Liu Bei escape quickly. Tai Shi Ci brought the words, and then told Liu Bei that he first sneaked back to lead the troops, Wen Ping intended to come to the rescue, and later led an army to wait in the back garden.

Liu Bei's brain was spinning, Cai Mao came to invite him again, Liu Bei suppressed his urgency, appeared calm, and followed Cai Mao in. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei suddenly got up to go to the toilet. Cai Mao's eyes narrowed, and he cast a look at some of the soldiers in the banquet, and those soldiers understood and took the order. Liu Bei rushed to the back garden, and Lu Ma, who Wen Ping had brought with him, was guarding him. Liu Bei didn't care to say much, flew on his horse, and was about to escape.

Suddenly, there were bursts of hurried footsteps, rushing towards the back garden. Wen Ping heard this, and hurriedly called out to Liu Bei.

"Cai Mao must have made a move, Uncle Liu Huang will come with me!"

After Wen Yan finished speaking, he patted the horses and galloped towards the back door of the state office, and Liu Bei followed behind. The doorman at the back door saw Wen Ping first, but he was not prepared, and when Wen Ping rushed in, Wen Ping suddenly shot out and hacked all the doormen to death with a sword. Liu Bei looked behind him, and since then he has been convinced of Wenpin.

Liu Bei followed Wen Ping and dozens of horsemen who rushed out of the state office, and the knife and axe men who killed in the back garden looked around and couldn't find Liu Bei, and saw the dead doorman at the back door, guessed that Liu Bei had fled, and hurriedly reported Cai Mao. When Cai Mao heard this, he hurriedly mounted his horse and led the 500 troops to chase after him. Cai Mao led the army to chase after him, and when Wen Ping saw this, he pulled the reins and shouted.

"Uncle Liu Huang, the grace of the past. So-and-so has always been in mind. Uncle Liu Huang is in danger today, and it is the time to repay his kindness. Uncle Liuhuang, go quickly, here is broken by a certain person! ”

After Wen Ping finished speaking, he turned around and led the seven and eight horsemen to rush in a roundabout way. When Liu Bei came back to his senses, Wen Ping had already ridden away from his horse.

"The grace of Zhongye! Prepare for this life must be remembered!! If you and I can escape this time, we will be ready to live up to our business! ”

Liu Bei shouted loudly behind him, and then quickly led him away. Liu Bei galloped all the way, whipped up, crashed out of the West Gate, traveled countless miles, and there was a wide stream in front of him, blocking the way. I saw that the Tan River was several feet wide, the water was leading to the Xiangjiang River, and the waves were very tight. Liu Bei rushed to the stream, saw that he could not cross, Le Ma and then returned, looking at the west of the city Wind and Sand Rising, shouting and killing countless sounds, it turned out to be Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun in the east, south, and north of the city received Cai Mao's order, and learned that Liu Bei fled to the west gate, so they led the troops to kill. Liu Bei saw that the pursuers were coming, and the road was overturned, and the road ahead was blocked by Tanxi.

"My life is at !!"

Liu Bei screamed miserably, and suddenly Lu hissed, and his four hooves flicked, rushing towards Tanxi. Liu Bei was in a hurry, and Lu, who couldn't be restrained, looked back, and the chasing soldiers were approaching. Liu Bei panicked, so Lu who no longer stranded him, whipped and flew.

Cai He, Cai Zhong, Cai Xun and others chased after them, and when they saw Liu Bei actually driving their horses down the river, they all laughed wildly behind. Sure enough, Liu Bei rode his horse without counting a few steps, and the horse's front hooves suddenly collapsed, soaking his robe. Seeing that Liu Bei was about to be buried in Tanxi, Liu Bei whipped angrily, his face was full of unwillingness, and he shouted.

"Lou, Lou! Thou shalt restrain the Lord!? ”

After speaking, Lu didn't know where the strength came from, screamed, suddenly surged up from the water, jumped three feet, and flew onto the west bank. Liu Bei rose from the clouds, like a flying dragon in the sky, and the Cai sergeants were all shocked and stunned when they saw it.

Liu Bei jumped across the west of the river and looked at the east bank. Cai He had led his army to the stream and shouted loudly.

"Why did Uncle Liu Huang run away?"

Liu Bei was so intoxicated that he came back to his senses after listening to Cai He's words, and shouted angrily.

"I have no enmity with your Cai family, why do you want to harm each other?"

"I don't have that in mind. Let the king rest listen to the villain's slander! “

While Cai He was talking, he secretly took his bow and arrows, Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly turned his horse to look southwest. Cai He remembered the scene just now, and he was surprised in his heart, thinking that Liu Bei would have divine help.

"Could it be that this big-eared thief should not be killed!"

Cai He was thinking in his heart, when suddenly a soldier reported urgently, saying that Cai Mao was captured by Wen Ping and Tai Shici. Cai He was shocked and quickly led his troops back to the city to rescue.

said that at that time, Wen Ping resigned Liu Bei and led seven or eight horsemen to block Cai Mao. Cai Mao led the army to come, and as soon as he saw Wen Ping, he knew that he must have helped Liu Bei escape. Cai Mao was furious and quickly ordered the soldiers to besiege and kill Wenpin. Wen hired Wu Yong, danced the spear in his hand impenetrable, and rushed left and right to Cai Mao to kill directly. Cai Mao saw that Wen Ping was getting closer and closer, so he put his bow on the arrow and fired three arrows at Wen Ping. Wen Ping was fighting hard in the army, but he didn't know that the hidden arrows were coming, and when the three arrows were close, Wen Ping had no time to dodge.

Seeing that Wen Ping was about to be pierced by three arrows, suddenly three strong winds struck, and three arrows like lightning hit the three arrows sent by Cai Mao accurately, and they all pierced through.

"Zhongye, don't panic, Taishi Ziyi is here!!"

Immediately, a loud shout sounded, and Wen Ping looked back at Tai Shici, who led the five hundred horse infantry troops to kill. Tai Shi Ci withdrew his big bow, picked up his gun and galloped on his horse, and killed Cai Mao from the left side. Seeing this, Wen Ping fought hard to kill again, but Sergeant Cai Mao was unstoppable and retreated. Cai Mao saw Tai Shici and Wen Ping coming from two ways, and she was anxious and wanted to escape. Tai Shi Ci's eyes were sick, and he swept the gun violently, and after sweeping away the surrounding Cai Mao sergeants, he quickly held down the gun, picked up the big bow, and drank loudly while plucking the bowstring.

"Dog thief!! Where to escape!! ”

Cai Mao was taken aback when she heard Tai Shi Ci shouting angrily, and then she heard the sound of the strings bursting out, flashing in a hurry, but she was too flustered and fell off the horse. Cai Mao's helmet rolled off, his cloak was scattered, and he hurriedly wanted to get back on the horse. At this time, Wen Ping had already made a smash, and rushed quickly, and the sharp blade of the spear stabbed to the ground. Cai Mao saw a cold light in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, he had already noticed that the gun in Wen Ping's hand was against his throat.

"General Wen Wen Wen! Don't act rashly, I don't hurt your heart, you must not miss a good person! ”

Cai Mao was so frightened that she lost her voice and shouted. Wen Ping's eyes were cold, and he shouted.

"Don't tell your soldiers to stop!"

"Yes, yes, yes!! Why don't you stop soon!! ”

At this time, Cai Mao, how could he have the arrogance of the past, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers around. Sergeant Cai Mao listened to the order and stopped one after another. Tai Shi Ci rode over and asked urgently.

"Where is my lord?"

"The king fled from the table, and he didn't know where to go."

"Dog thief, my lord has never had enmity with you, why did you harm him!!?

"Wronged~! Uncle Liu's name of benevolence and righteousness is famous all over the world. How could I have such a heart? ”

"Why did you invite my lord to a banquet, why did you lead the horses after you?

"The bureaucrats of the nine counties and forty-two prefectures and counties are all here, and I am the general, how can I not protect them?"

Tai Shici and Cai Mao asked and answered, and Wen Ping quickly interjected after listening.

"General Taishi Hugh wants to listen to the words of this dog thief. Uncle Liu Huang was fleeing to the West Gate at this time, and I saw Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun all leading troops to chase after him. Just in case, we'll catch this dog thief first, so that his minions can be bogged off! ”

"What General Wen said is very true. Someone, tie up this dog thief! ”

Tai Shi Ci obeyed Wen Ping's words, and then ordered the soldiers to tie up Cai Mao. Cai Mao didn't dare to resist, and only begged for mercy on the side. When the soldiers tied up Cai Mao, Tai Shici and Wen Ping wanted to chase after them at the West Gate. Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun led the three armies to pour in from the West Gate and surrounded them in all directions. Tai Shici and Wen Ping's faces were solemn, and Wen Ping even subconsciously tightened the gun in his hand a little, which frightened Cai Mao for a while.

"Dog thief, don't hurry up and make your Cai soldiers and horses give way!"

Tai Shi Ci roared angrily, and Cai Mao hurriedly shouted to the Cai soldiers and horses surrounding the road in front of him to retreat. Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun rushed over, and when they saw Cai Mao being held up by Wen Ping's gun, they all ordered Wen Ping to let Cai Mao go. Wen Ping's face was cold, and with a gun, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared on Cai Mao's neck. Cai Mao roared in pain, and scolded Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun repeatedly.

"Cai's dog thief, have you hurt my lord!!"

Tai Shici turned to Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun and asked sharply. Cai He, Cai Zhong, and Cai Xun hurriedly said that Liu Bei jumped over Tanxi and fled to the other bank. Tai Shi Ci is a cautious person, and quickly ordered Wen Ping to rush to Tanxi with Cai Mao and five hundred soldiers. Because Cai Mao was in the hands of Wenpin, Cai's soldiers and horses did not dare to make a mistake, so they gave way one after another.
