The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally an extremely beautiful night in the traditional festivals of the Han people.

Just after the scorching heat, the autumn night begins to be bleak. In such a sad season, looking at the withered fallen leaves, it is inevitable that my heart will be a little melancholy. But if the family sits together, eats a round moon cake, smells the autumn chrysanthemum in the courtyard and admires the moon, it is a rare warmth.

In the Three Kingdoms era, there was naturally no tradition of eating moon cakes, but due to the arrival of Ma Chao, driven by a celebrity like him, such a tradition naturally spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

Under the guise of Liu Biao this night, he was sitting and discussing, tasting cakes and admiring the moon. However, when Liu Bei first walked into the county guard, he didn't feel the warmth of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, but felt the ubiquitous killing atmosphere! Although the ribbons fluttered between the pavilions, the servants who came and went were also wearing new autumn clothes. But the group of Jingzhou Tiger Tooth Cavalry patrolled it, all armed, the knife was unsheathed and the bow was wound, especially the killing aura revealed between walking, but it could not be hidden.

Especially for Liu Bei, a troubled man with a strong sense of politics.

He faintly felt that the atmosphere of the entire Xiangyang County Guard Mansion was like a battlefield where the two armies had completed their drums and arrays, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and it only took any little spark to ignite a monstrous flame!

And every step he took after that, his heart could hardly suppress a strong beat. After walking through the palace gate, there is also a large square. This square covers an extremely wide area, and Liu Bei estimated that 3,000 soldiers and horses would be enough to rush and kill here. Fortunately, there is such a long distance, which is enough for Liu Bei to brew and sort out all the things that are full of his heart.

Further on, there is the county guard hall. And just before entering the lobby, when he was ordered to untie the sword, Liu Bei's mood that had finally calmed down fluctuated again, and he felt that he was about to lose his only sense of security. However, the difference between Xiao Xiong and mortals is that when Liu Bei completely untied the sword, he looked at Zhuge Liang's calm eyes behind him, and his heart was completely restored.

Anyway, tonight, there is also Zhang Fei, a fierce general of 10,000 enemies, who is seated with him. Self-preservation, there should be no problem - of course, if possible, Liu Bei naturally hopes that his second brother Guan Yu can also be by his side. It's just that Runan County must be guarded. In his camp, except for Guan Yu, no one can fit that position.

In the lobby, which was already full of guests, Liu Bei still found an inconspicuous place to sit down, carefully observing the expressions of the important people in the lobby.

Liu Qi sat a little stiffly on the lower left, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, as the eldest son, he is indeed qualified to sit in that place. But his pale face and disorganized appearance betrayed the uneasiness in his heart. Liu Bei sighed secretly at this, although Liu Qi was cowardly and unscrupulous, he had also developed a sense of innate crisis in Xiangyang, a circle that looked like a god, for a long time. Such a person is extremely well controlled. It's a pity that in the midst of the wolves, a shivering little white rabbit has only the pitiful fate of being swallowed.

Eleven-year-old Liu Cong was also calm, probably because Cai Mao, who closed his eyes and recuperated on the side, gave him a sense of security. Since childhood, under the favor of Liu Biao and Cai's family, Liu Cong has become smart and intelligent, and has the demeanor of Liu Biao when he was a teenager. However, no matter how smart he is, it is difficult for him to avoid the fate of becoming a puppet. At the age of eleven, it is not enough to enter the troubled waters of politics.

Liu Bei's eyes were mostly on Cai Mao, a figure who held the power of Jingzhou, and recently calmed down all his actions and became dormant. However, it is also possible that he has already set it up, just waiting for tonight's thunderstorm. Perhaps because he felt something, when Liu Bei's gaze stayed on him too much, Cai Mao suddenly opened his eyes, and then nodded and smiled at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also smiled back, the two of them had great contradictions, and everyone in Jingzhou knew about it. But this does not prevent the two from maintaining the most polite and hypocritical etiquette.

The other staff generals were nothing unusual, either chatting and laughing, or inviting each other with wine, and most of them sat in groups that had already been divided. Only the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue sat alone, which made Liu Bei feel a little uneasy: these two people were the biggest contributors to assisting Liu Biao to become the ruler of Jingzhou back then. Kuailiang is the leader of Jingzhou's famous men, and the scholars of Jingzhou's lineage are all looking forward to Kuailiang's horse; And Kuai Yue is a military master, and it was Kuai Yue's idea to set up a banquet to kill the thieves. The death of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian is also not unrelated to him.

The entire Jingzhou can be said to be Liu Biao's fame and Cai Mao's military power, but the actual control is controlled by the Kuai family. The silence of the two at this time made Liu Bei feel a kind of oppression that was about to come. And this kind of oppression can only be seen when the matter comes to an end......

There is no doubt that this night is certain, and Liu Bei immediately made such a conclusion. In fact, everyone in the lobby vaguely knew that Liu Biao was going to take this night to announce the heir of Jingzhou. However, what they didn't know was that before coming here, Liu Bei also accepted an extremely strange order from Liu Biao - and such an order, no matter how you look at it, is beneficial to him Liu Bei.

Just when Liu Bei's train of thought was still wandering, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure ran in a hurry, because he ran too quickly, and even stumbled a little.

This person Liu Bei naturally knows, his name is Pang Ji, and he is also a member of the Jingzhou Shi clan, who served as the chief bookkeeper in Xiangyang, and once accompanied Kuai Yue to persuade the Xiangyang thieves Chen Hu and Zhang Sheng. At this moment, his robes were scattered and his expression was flustered, and after he came in, he went straight towards Kuaiyue. In the meantime, he was out of breath, and even the courtesy of the noble gentlemen and humble saints was left behind.

Then, he exclaimed a sentence that directly shocked the audience!!

"Something big is wrong!! Liu Bei's 5,000 cavalry has entered the city!! At this moment, it is changing the defense with Xiangyang Wei, and the city defense has been taken over by Chen Zhi, the captain of the thief school under Liu Bei, and Xiangyang Wei is being ordered to withdraw from the city military camp and station!! ”

Rumble!!

The news was like a thunderclap, and the audience was in shock!!

Liu Bei's most powerful 5,000 cavalry entered the city?!

As soon as this news was heard, the first reaction in the hearts of many civil ministers and military generals in the hall was: Could it be that Liu Bei wants to seize power??!!

Liu Bei's 20,000 foot cavalry belongs to foreign forces, and if there are no other circumstances, it is impossible to enter Xiangyang City without authorization! Even if foreign troops are sent to Xiangyang, they are generally stationed outside the city. Unless there are special circumstances, such as counterinsurgency, seizure of power, or coup d'état and other major events, foreign troops are never allowed to enter the city for half a step!

Not to mention, Liu Bei's army still doesn't obey Liu Biao's command at all!

Therefore, everyone's first reaction was: Something big happened? Is Liu Bei going to take the power of Jingzhou tonight?

Everyone's eyes stabbed at Liu Bei like a blade for the first time, especially Pang Ji, because he was in a hurry, he didn't see Liu Bei at all, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that the expression on his face was very complicated. There is not only the high panic behind him, but also the resentment of Liu Bei's shameless behavior. His mouth could literally fit an egg, but after a while, he didn't even say a word.

Interestingly, Cai Mao and the Kuai family brothers, none of the three of them have any discoloration. However, Liu Qi and Liu Cong stared at each other, which was quite a bit of irony that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

And under the complicated gaze of everyone, the entire lobby was silent for a while, even if Liu Bei was extremely good at disguise, he felt that his palms were slightly sweaty at this moment. Seeing this, Zhang Fei behind him took a step forward slightly, and was about to open his mouth to drink, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan.

"I asked Xuande to lead the troops into the city to change the defense!" A person behind the hall spoke, and then everyone turned around, and saw Liu Biao wearing a crown of seven crowns and walking out in red Zen clothes. And Liu Biao's side, slowly following a person, is naturally the Cai family who never leaves Liu Biao's side all year round.

In the Han Dynasty, for example, concubines were not allowed to attend such drinking parties. Even if she is a wife, she can only open another seat in the back hall in the end. Today, Liu Biao has a long body, a ruddy complexion, and a hundred times more spirit, obviously coming to do something. In addition, he broke the etiquette and brought Cai's attendance, which made this Mid-Autumn Festival night a little mysterious and confused.

And at this time, Zhuge Liang, who had always been very calm, looked at Liu Biao and couldn't help but let out a low "huh".

"Strategist, why?" Liu Bei, who had lost the attention of everyone, had extremely sharp ears, and immediately asked in a low voice.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly, and after revealing an unfathomable smile, he said lightly: "It's nothing." However, Liu Bei had already seen from Zhuge Liang's previous eyes that something was really wrong with Liu Biao today!
