The summer is scorching, and the cicadas are chirping.

"Shaft! The great mourning of the Son of Heaven is only in March, how dare he risk the disapproval of the world and raise swords in vain, how dare he do this! How dare you do that! ”

In the state pastor's mansion, Liu's face was iron-blue, and he roared angrily, accompanied by the unstoppable trembling of his body.

At this time, it has been more than two months since the death of Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and in these two months, Liu Biao is still undecided, Mingli is busy handling the funeral of the Son of Heaven, and secretly sends envoys to Jiangzuo and Yizhou.

Liu Biao knew that Zhang Liao was strong and had no intention of fighting, so he made two plans, one was peace talks, if Sun Quan and Liu Zhang agreed to form an alliance with him, he would negotiate with Zhang Liao by virtue of the tripartite alliance, and still maintain the current pattern of the world, Jingzhou autonomy, even to pay tribute to Zhang Liao. The other is to return to obedience, if Sun Quan and Liu Zhang do not want him, he will submit to Zhang Liao, but he still believes that he is famous Jingzhou 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if he is obedient, he must wait for Zhang Liao to take the initiative to send an envoy to talk, in order to take the initiative.

Because it takes time to secretly contact Jiangzuo and Yizhou, Liu Biao took the opportunity of the funeral of the Son of Heaven to delay and delay, thinking that he would have a plan, but he did not expect that Zhang Liao's army would once press the border, Chen Bing Nanyang, and let him see the wind and shatter the dream of the rudder.

Liu Biao was furious in his heart, hating Zhang Liao for not remembering the old friendship, and even went to war without giving him a chance to negotiate. As everyone knows, these two months are the last chance given to him by Zhang Liao.

At the beginning, Zhang Liao sent Zhao Wu to lead the troops to help Liu Biao when he entered Jingzhou alone, just to win an ally in the battle of the princes, but he didn't expect that whether it was fighting with Li Guo or fighting with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, Liu Biao, an ally, did not take any action, and always watched the fire from the other side, which alone made Zhang Liao's heart cold. What's more, after Zhang Liao defeated Cao Cao, the general trend of the world has basically been decided, if Liu Biao still can't see the situation clearly at this time and is lucky, then he doesn't have to be polite. He has given Liu Biao two months, waiting for Liu Biao to return to obedience, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of benevolence and righteousness. Since Liu Biao was indifferent, he naturally did not hesitate to send troops to Jingzhou.

At this time, Liu Biao was angry at the seat, and the subordinates were silent, just because they had already expressed their attitude, and in the past two months, Liu Biao had seven or eight meetings in a row, ignoring their suggestions, and now even Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others said that they were not sick.

Liu Biao angrily reprimanded Zhang Liao, and when he saw the indifferent attitude of his subordinates, he was angry and powerless in his heart, snorted, and suddenly said: "The envoy sent to Jiangzuo has returned, and Sun Zhong is willing to form an alliance with Jing Chu to conquer Zhang Liao together." ”

All the subordinates below changed color, don't drive Liu Xian and asked in surprise: "Liu Xuande came to visit this morning, could it be ......?"

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Yes, I have discussed with Liu Xuande on how to resist it." ”

In fact, he just tested Liu Bei's attitude, and the reason why he said this at this time was also to test the attitude of these subordinates again. Unexpectedly, when the subordinates heard what he said, they were still silent, but they didn't know that these subordinates had long been numb to his indecisiveness.

Liu Biao was a little impatient, and turned his head to ask Deng Yi in Zhizhong: "The envoy sent to Yizhou has not returned yet?" ”

Deng Yi replied: "Not yet." ”

"Send someone to ask, don't have an accident......" Liu Biao was just halfway through his words, someone outside walked in quickly, panting and said: "General, it's not good......

Liu Biao stood up suddenly and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Zhang Liao has broken through Nanyang?" ”

The man was stunned: "This ...... The subordinates don't know. ”

Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily: "What's the matter?" Could it be that Changsha Zhang Xian is in chaos again? ”

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. The person who came gasped and said, "General, it's not Changsha, it's Yizhou." ”

When Liu Biao heard Yizhou, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, and his expression was excited: "The envoy of Yizhou has returned?" Hurry up! ”

"Will ...... Checkmate. The person who came hurriedly said: "It's not a messenger, it's the Jin army, the Jin army is coming from Yizhou along the Lujiang River, and it's only a hundred miles away from Jiangling!" ”

Yes!

Everyone in the audience was shocked when they inquired, and Liu Biao took two steps forward, grabbed the placket of the person who came at once, and said sharply: "Nonsense! The Jin army is in Nanyang, and An Neng is coming from Yizhou! ”

The person who came hurriedly said: "General, the Jin army is coming with great fanfare, the news will not be wrong!" ”

Kuai Liang, the chief bookkeeper on the side, asked urgently: "How many soldiers and horses?" ”

The person replied: "Back to the main book, the Jin army is divided into two routes, one is the general Xu Rong of Zhengxi, who led 20,000 cavalry from the east by land, and the other is Dian Wei, the general of Zhendong, who led 20,000 tiger foot soldiers along the river. ”

"Xu Rong! Dian Wei! Liu Biao lost his color: "All the fierce generals under Zhang Liao's command, how can they come from Yizhou!" ”

The Yi nationality in the seat said solemnly: "It must be Liu Yizhou who surrendered Zhang Liao, and led the Jin army into Shu from Guanzhong Sanguan, and now the Jin army has arrived, so it is calculated, Xu Rong and Dian Wei have entered Shu when Zhang Liao's troops attacked Cao Cao." ”

"Three months ago!" Liu's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered: "Quickly order Wenpin to rectify the defense and intercept the Jin army!" ”

As soon as Liu Biao's order was issued, there was a report from him: "General, Jingnan is in rebellion, Jiangling is in danger!" Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, was persuaded by Zhao Wu, the general of Zhonglang, to surrender to the king of Jin, and united the troops of Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling counties to attack Jiangling! ”

Liu Biao was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. When he first entered Jingzhou, he relied on Zhao Wu very much, and after Jingzhou settled down in the past two years, he began to guard against Zhao Wu and sent Zhao Wu to Jingnan to quell the chaos, but he didn't expect Zhao Wu to persuade Zhang Xian.

Zhang Liao didn't move, and his movement turned out to be a thunderbolt, and in a blink of an eye, he attacked from three sides, making Jingzhou in danger!

Liu Biao really felt the terrible use of Zhang Liao's troops at this time, no wonder all the princes in the world were swept away by him!

As the so-called disaster does not go alone, Liu Biaozheng was at a loss, and another person hurriedly rushed in: "General, general!" ”

Liu Biao's body shook and said in a trembling voice: "What's the matter?" ”

The person who came said in a panic: "It is rumored that Zhang Xiu surrendered to the Jin army, Liu Situ rushed back to Xinye, and was ambushed by Cai Junshi with three hundred archers on the way, Liu Situ was hit by several arrows, and his life and death are unknown!" ”

"Dejun misunderstood me!" Liu Biao sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and sighed: "Jingzhou is in chaos!" The general trend is gone! ”

The Cai Junshi referred to as Liu Biao's uncle Cai Mao, who was canonized as the general of Zhennan by the imperial court, and Cai Mao was appointed by Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan. Liu Bei was close to his eldest son Liu Qi, and he was always disgusted by Cai Mao, and Liu Biao didn't care, but he didn't expect Cai Mao to dare to lead troops to ambush Liu Bei, which suddenly caused Jingzhou internal and external troubles.

"Quickly pass on Kuai Xenodu and Han Degao, and send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom!" Liu Biao, who came back to his senses after a while, ordered urgently.

In July of the fifth year of Jian'an, just as Liu Biao submitted the surrender table to Zhang Liao, the situation in Jingzhou took a sharp turn for the worse, first Jiangling, Xu Rong and Dian Wei broke Jiangling in one day, Dian Wei went north to attack other counties in Nanjun, and Xu Rong's cavalry turned east to attack Jiangxia.

Followed by Jing Nan, Liu Biao's nephews Liu Pan and Yu Poison were both killed by a young general named Wei Yan, Zhao Wu, Zhang Xian and Xu Rong joined forces to attack Jiangxia by land and water.

The situation in Xiangyang was even more severe, and after Liu Bei was seriously injured and was rescued by Chen Zhi and returned to Xinye, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious and raised troops to attack Xiangyang. However, Zhang Xiu, who was stationed in Wancheng, was persuaded by Jia Xu many years ago, and this time he directly sacrificed Wancheng and became the precursor of the Jin army's attack on Jingzhou.

In mid-July, Xu Rong, Zhao Wu, and Zhang Xian broke through Jiangxia and killed Huang Zu. Dian Wei captured the entire territory of Nanjun and approached Xiangyang. Almost at the same time, Zhang Xiu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei attacked Xiangyang City, Guan Yu beheaded Cai Mao, and Zhang Fei killed Liu Biao.

Jing Chu was terrified, and all the families wrote to invite Zhang Liao, the king of Jin, to enter Jingping Chaos.
