Chapter 1263: Xiangyang Changed Defenses
Liu Biao looks full of energy today, but Liu Bei is also a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally gradually saw that Liu Biao's steps were a little vain, and the ruddy luster on his face was also the effect of applying a small amount of rouge. And brought Cai's into the table, I'm afraid it's because Cai's body has some kind of medicine to save him...... From this point of view, Liu Biao's body, instead of getting better day by day because of the loss of poison, has reached the point where the oil has run out.
Moreover, Liu Bei also found that Zhuge Liang's eyes not only stared at Liu Biao's complexion, but also deliberately looked at Liu Biao's hand.
Liu Bei also saw that after Liu Biaoqi Yu Xuanang's appearance, he was carrying a sword in his right hand!
A gorgeous and simple sword, the scabbard was also inlaid with green gemstones, which was held in Liu Biao's hand and came slowly......
This detail was quickly discovered by many. As a result, in the lobby, where the atmosphere had become tense and solemn, there was suddenly some frightening taste.
Liu Biao did not squint, and walked the Persian red carpet proudly to his main seat.
Then, holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, he sat down slowly with the sword in his hand.
The whole audience woke up like a dream, and saluted Liu Biao together, congratulating Liu Biao on his physical recovery and Jingzhou Antai. And Liu Biao was expressionless, and raised his hand, which could be regarded as a return of the courtesy - this is an extremely abnormal action for Liu Biao, who has always been modest and polite.
Lile stopped at this moment, and the audience was silent, quietly waiting for Liu Bei's words.
And this Han clan member who has been in Jingzhou Zhenghai for more than ten years, his sharp gaze swept over the audience, and then, the corners of his mouth tugged and smiled softly.
Although he is laughing, this smile is never pleasant!
In the cold smile, there seems to be a hint of mockery!
"As you all know, tonight is not only the beauty of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the day when I announce the successor of Jingzhou. Everyone is here, but in fact, they are restless, right? ”
Liu Biao's words, strictly speaking, can be regarded as a crime. The appointment of the Jingzhou pastor can only be decided by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. But what is interesting is that everyone looked at the hall full of illegal carved beams and paintings and the splendid hall, and they all kept silent, acquiescing to the fact that Liu Biao did not respect the Han family.
After all, Liu Biao's sudden words just now had already made everyone's hearts start beating sharply!
Liu Jingzhou...... Is there going to be a showdown now?
But then Liu Biao turned his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm the same as you!" I've been worrying about this for a long time, but I've been thinking about it for a long time! Speaking of this, Liu Biao suddenly stood up with his long sword!
Many people gasped on the spot!
There are also some advisors who are already pale, even some generals who are fighting on the battlefield, in the face of Liu Xuan's mysterious killing at this moment, they can't help but start to break out in a cold sweat. There are also people who can't help but look towards the side doors on both sides of the lobby, as if they are afraid that the next moment, a group of swords, axes, and armours will rush in outside this side door!
However, only after Liu Biao's playful smile had enough of laughing, he said slowly: "Where is Brother Xuande? ”
Liu Bei was in the crowd, and when he heard Liu Biao calling for himself, he couldn't help but be stunned. But soon it returned to its normal color, and even with a bit of solemnity, he slowly stood on the red carpet in the middle.
"Envoy, prepare here."
"Hmm!" Liu Biao nodded: "Brother Xuandexian, can the matter I ask for be done?" ”
Liu Bei clenched his fists slightly and said generously: "At this moment, Chen Zhidang and General Cai's general Huo Jun will change defenses, and within a stick of incense, they can completely take over the defense of Xiangyang City!" ”
Liu Bei's words fell, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and some officials who were originally far away from Liu Bei also quietly began to move closer to Liu Bei: I learned that Pang Ji shouted that Liu Bei's generals led troops into the city, and they all mistakenly thought that Liu Bei wanted to support the army and seize power, but now after Liu Biao and Liu Bei confirmed it personally, they felt that they were completely defeated.
Although Chen Zhi led into the city, he exchanged city defenses with Xiangyang Wei - it was not to seize the city defense by force at all, and Xiangyang Wei was also willing to change the defense and hand over the control of the city defense, so there must be an order from above.
Xiangyang Wei has always been an elite corps of Gongwei Xiangyang, although it is only 5,000 people, but it is absolutely reliable in terms of equipment and loyalty. Although Huo Jun is young, his reputation for being a lonely city and being stubborn has long been known to everyone in Xiangyang. If he wants his Xiangyang guards to obediently give up the city defense, Chen Zhi under Liu Bei will never be able to hold a talisman alone, and he must have Liu Biao's order in advance!
However, it is a pity that although Huo Jun is a well-known general in the entire Xiangyang, he is subject to Cai Mao's jurisdiction after all, even if it is not clear that he is Cai Mao's henchman, but has many disputes with Cai Mao. But at this moment, it seems that Liu Biao does not have complete trust in Huo Jun, so he will let Liu Bei's 5,000 cavalry elite take over the city defense of Xiangyang.
Everyone figured this out for a while, but after reacting again, their faces began to become very ugly.
"It's not Liu Bei who seized power?" Pang Ji's eyes were gloomy, he looked at the people in the hall, lowered his voice and said to the side, "Could it be...... The lord wants to ...... Do it? ”
Do it? ……
The hearts of some of the old ministers who followed Liu Biao suddenly rose, and they remembered at the same time: Back then, when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, it was almost exactly the same as today. On that day, he held the holy decree in one hand and a sword in the other, and when the thieves were laughing at Liu Biao's lack of courage, a large group of sword and axe men poured into the hall and slaughtered the leaders of those thieves in an instant......
Tonight, Liu Biao dared to go against the grain and announce the heir of Jingzhou, which would inevitably clear the way for future generations. And the most effective way is, naturally......
This banquet is indeed more dangerous than expected!!
After Liu Biao and Liu Bei finished talking, there was no dialogue. Everyone in the lobby was tormented in silence, and they could only look at the people closest to the center of power: Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers!
Cai Mao was still expressionless, and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also very calm and calm. Especially Kuai Yue, at such an embarrassing time, he also stepped forward to remind Liu Biao: "Lord, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if there is something serious, it is better to announce it later." ”
Liu couldn't see any expression on the surface, and waved his hand lightly: "Everyone take a seat." ”
Everyone sat down in the clouds, mountains, and fog, but they didn't have half of the thoughts of the festival. Pang Ji deliberately sat down at Kuai Yue's head, and while others were not paying attention, he opened his mouth and asked Kuai Yue: "Lord Xeno, what will happen tonight?" ”
"Huh?" Kuai Yue tilted his head and said with a hint of doubt: "What did Master Pang say?" ”
"Naturally, it's a change of guard tonight!" Pang Ji was a little anxious.
Kuai Yue closed his eyes and thought about it, and replied in a very tactful tone: "Master Pang, although I know a little about the military situation in Jingzhou, there are some things that I know as little as possible. As for the sudden change of guard of Xiangyang Wei......" Saying this, Kuai Yue completely looked like an outsider, and calmly analyzed: "Although Xiangyang Wei is in the center and can be regarded as the henchman of the lord, but if he stays in the big dye vat for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be infected with traces of all aspects, and it is inevitable that he will be infiltrated. And tonight ......"
"Tonight, the lord made it clear that he would change Jingzhou to the owner. Liu Bei and the lord are both relatives of the Han family, and tonight they will take over the city defense ......"
"Hmm...... If the lord does not announce it, we must not talk nonsense. Kuai Yue interrupted Pang Ji's conjecture and continued to pull the question back to a discussable category: "Since the lord is going to do such a big thing tonight, he will naturally worry that someone in the hall will not be convinced, especially if that person wants to have contact with Xiangyang Wei, if he makes a mistake, will it lead to a civil strife?" As a result, maybe the lord will simply transfer Xiangyangwei out of the city and transfer Liu Bei, an outsider's personal soldier, to maintain the city defense......"
"So, the lord is in case someone wants to stir up trouble?" Pang Ji thought for a while, frowned, and said: "There is some truth in saying this, but General Huo Jun is famous in Xiangyang, and he is the emerging star of Jingzhou after General Huang......"
"Although Huo Jun is loyal, he is a member of the Huo family after all, and the Huo family is not a small family in Jingzhou......" Kuai Yue sighed slightly, as if he felt a headache for Liu Biao: "Tonight, such a confidential and important matter, the lord must be replaced by the person he trusts the most and has no inclination, or rather, that person tends to be the same as the lord, so that he can feel at ease." ”
At this point, Pang Ji couldn't ask any more questions, and at this moment, there was already a singing and dancing in the lobby. Pang Ji looked at the graceful posture of those dancing girls and the graceful music of silk and bamboo, but he was not in the mood at all. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the wine in the glass, red as blood, as if it indicated that there would be a bloody disaster this night......
