Xiangyang City, the state pastoral mansion.

"My lord! Liu Bei brought it back. "Wen Ping hugged his fist.

Liu Biao still looked at the silk letter in his hand, stunned, and didn't say a word.

Wen Ping waved his hand, and the strong man with the halberd pressed Liu Bei up.

At this time, Liu Bei still didn't know what was going on, but from Liu Biao's eyes, he could know that this matter was really a little difficult to do, and Cai Zhong's eyes on the side flashed a trace of cruelty, a kind of cunning.

Liu Bei really didn't guess wrong, this matter has nothing to do with Cai Mao.

"Big-eared thief! Are you guilty!? ”

Cai Mao stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Bei, his eyes were like copper bells, a pair of sword eyebrows rose upside down and went straight to the sky with his sideburns, the anger burst out with the sound of bursting shouts like a volcanic eruption, and the strong man with the halberd obviously felt the anger from Cai Mao's eyes, his arms sank, and the strength of the escort to Liu Bei was even stronger.

At this time, although Liu Bei didn't know what was going on, he was not afraid of shadows, and he would not get angry easily with Cai Mao, a dog that bites people casually, after all, dogs bite people, and people will never bite dogs!

Liu Bei's tiger body was shocked, he broke free from the escort, dusted off his sleeves, raised his head, snorted coldly, and ignored Cai Mao at all!

"You !!"

Cai Mao was furious, no one in Jingzhou had ever dared to ignore him so much, and even Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao needed to be in awe, and now Liu Bei was just temporarily stationed here, and he dared to be so presumptuous, which really violated his majesty.

"Xuande!"

Liu Biao raised his head, sighed, handed the silk letter to Wen Ping, motioned for it to be handed over to Liu Bei, and finally spoke: "How do you explain this?" ”

Wen Ping came to Liu Bei with a silk letter, tore it open to let him see it, and walked up and down with his eyes, Liu Bei was taken aback!

This is a secret letter written by Sun Quan to Liu Bei, in which Sun Quan urged Liu Bei to find out the deployment of troops and the city defense situation in Jiangling and Xiangyang as soon as possible, and promised to avenge the murder of his father. and Liu Bei divided the nine counties of Jingxiang equally.

Judging between the lines, it seems that Liu Bei and Sun Quan have long colluded, and there is even more than one correspondence, such a letter is for Liu Biao. It is undoubtedly like a sharp sword piercing the heart.

Liu Bei knew everything at this time, this was a strategy set up by Cai Mao, and he wanted to completely destroy himself with the help of Liu Biao's hand, how vicious this plan was, it was simply outrageous!

But in Liu Bei's opinion. Can this letter alone kill you? And at this time, Liu Biao was still hesitant, it was obvious that he still had a trace of trust in Liu Bei, as long as Liu Biao still trusted himself, then there was still room for things to turn around.

Liu Bei made up his mind, calmed down his anger, and his thoughts flew wildly in an instant: "Dare to ask the Grand Duke, where did you get this letter?" ”

Liu Bei's surprising composure really surprised Cai Mao, but for Cai Mao, it really didn't change anything. Cai Mao snorted: "This letter was found on the spy caught outside Xiangyang City today. ”

"Oh!? What about the messenger? Liu Bei didn't panic, so he asked.

"Dead!" Cai Mao blurted out without thinking.

"How did you die!?"

"I was beaten to death by my Jingzhou soldiers! This man is not sorry to die, ask him what he has done!? Cai Mao said disdainfully.

Hum! Death without proof!?

Liu Bei laughed: "Since this is the case, then I suspect that this letter was forged by you, Governor Cai Dadu, and the purpose is to frame me." ”

"Justice is at ease in people's hearts! Yes and no, it's not you and me who have the final say, but the facts! Now that the evidence is ironclad, you Liu Bei has thousands of mouths. To no avail! ”

"What an ironclad piece of evidence!" Liu Bei looked up and laughed: "Just by this unknown silk letter, you want my Liu Bei's life?" Governor Cai, your wishful thinking is good! You can use your brain to think about it, if I want to collude with Sun Quan to plot against Jing Xiang, why did I stand up when Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia. Repelling Sun Quan? If I, Liu Bei, colluded with Sun Quan, would you still be able to stand here safely at this time? Well!? ”

Liu Bei's voice became louder and louder, his pitch became higher and higher, his eyes were concentrating, looking at everyone here like a sharp sword, and this chill went straight into people's hearts. It hurts to the bone marrow.

"What a clever mouth!" Cai Mao laughed contemptuously.

"Isn't it?" Liu Bei was still angry and refused to budge.

"Of course not!" Cai Mao said categorically: "It is precisely because you repelled Sun Quan that Sun Quan has no choice but to join forces with you to swallow Jingxiang, if you are defeated by Sun Quan, Sun Quan will naturally sit alone and enjoy Jingzhou, so why share it with you!" ”

Liu Bei was silent, such a reason seemed to be explained.

suddenly realized that today's move by Cai Mao was actually carried out after he had thought about it carefully, and he had already found a corresponding excuse for every reason he had, which was to destroy his rhythm!

"Newspaper~"

At this moment, a loud report struck, Cai Zhong broke into the house with his head held high, and said loudly with his fists clenched: "Lord! Got it. ”

Liu Biao took the silk letter and tore it open.

originally thought that Liu Biao would be furious, but at this time, Liu Biao didn't say a word, just snorted coldly, and threw the silk letter at Liu Bei's feet.

"Xuande! See for yourself. ”

In fact, Liu Bei had already thought that this letter must have been forged by Cai Mao, and it was a letter he had received in the past, so that he had completely confirmed the guilt!

Vicious! This trick is really ruthless!

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to the silk letter, but glanced at Cai Mao, Cai Mao's eyes at this time were full of a kind of pride, a kind of pride in planning and deciding, and the pride of being done, revealing a sinister and cunning pride.

"Brother Huang! What if this one is also a forgery? Liu Bei smiled lightly and asked one last question.

Cai Zhong on the side immediately shouted: "Bold Liu Bei!" Dare to quibble here! This silk letter was found in your study, how can it be fake? And Childe Liu Qi was by his side at the time! ”

Liu Bei ignored Cai Zhong and continued: "Brother Huang! I know you won't believe me anymore when I say anything, but I still have to say something! First, I did not collude with Sun Quan; Second, it is born from the same root, so why not be too anxious to fry each other. ”

"Liu Da'er"

"Big-Eared Thief"

Cai Zhong and Cai Mao let out a burst of shouts almost at the same time, their eyes were on fire, like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and they were mad in an instant.

"Xuande!" Liu Biao opened his mouth to stop the two, and said, "How can you let me believe you!?" ”

At this time, Liu Bei saw clearly that Liu Biao had tears in his eyes at this time, it was a kind of helplessness, he couldn't! It is also impossible to gamble the fate of Jingzhou on a relationship that relies entirely on trust.

It is precisely because Liu Bei knows this deeply that Liu Bei is more and more unwilling! He was unwilling to fall into the hands of Cai Mao, a deflated calf!

He must resist! Powerful resistance!

Liu Bei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, endured such unwillingness, and made up his mind: "Brother Huang! I take my family as a hostage, pacify Jiangdong within three months, and destroy Sun Quan! ”

Hahahaha

Everyone present laughed heartily, and the Jiangdong was pacified within three months!? How can it be? It's just a joke.

Coincidentally!

Like Liu Bei, there is one more person who remains calm, and that is Liu Biao!

In fact, Liu Biao didn't feel surprised, let alone that Liu Bei was crazy, because Liu Bei dared to go straight to the rear of Jizhou with more than 1,000 troops, and now he can still say it within three months, so he absolutely dares to put it into practice.

But Liu Biao is a conservative person, a person who doesn't want to cause trouble, just guarding the land and protecting the family. If Liu Bei set out to conquer Eastern Wu at this time, wouldn't he want to borrow troops from Liu Bei? If it is defeated, it will be self-defeating, but if it is defeated, the contradiction between the two families of Sun and Liu will be even better.

Liu Bei seemed to see Liu Biao's worries, and said sonorously: "This time I went to Eastern Wu, I only used 5,000 troops under my command, and I will never be embarrassed by the imperial brother!" ”

Liu Biao must completely extricate himself from the contradiction between the Sun and Liu families, otherwise if Liu Bei is allowed to mess around like this, Jingzhou will inevitably usher in a big disaster.

"What do you think?" Liu Biao sighed lightly.

The generals were silent and silent for a long time, Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao, and said softly: "What do you think of today's events?" ”

Liu Biao's casual question made Liu Bei even more sure that this matter was really planned by him, and Liu Bei suddenly had a cold hatred in his heart, which was so strong for the first time after traveling to the late Han Dynasty.

Cai Mao!! We'll see!

"All matters are up to the Lord's decision."

In Cai Mao's view, Liu Bei's move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, Jiangdong Sun Quan has gone through three generations of precipitation, the soldiers are full of food, and the foundation is stable, especially if you are a little Liu Bei can overthrow, since Liu Bei is looking for death, what does it matter if he fulfills it.

After getting Cai Mao's affirmation, Liu Biao finally made up his mind and said: "From now on, Liu Bei will be arrested by the whole city of Jingzhou on suspicion of colluding with Jiangdong traitors. If there is a person who arrests the traitor Liu Bei, regardless of life or death, he will be rewarded with 100 gold and 100 households. The reward is valid from now on. ”

All the generals in the hall clasped their fists and arched their hands: "The lord is wise!" ”

Liu Bei let out a long breath, no matter what the outcome is, at least at this time, his life has been taken care of, but after leaving the state pastoral mansion, he only has less than two hours left to flee to Jiangxia, and Jiangxia Huangzu is bound to get the news as soon as possible, and there will inevitably be a lot of turmoil in Tianfeng.

But no matter what, he must arrive in Jiangxia safely, and he must succeed in taking Jiangdong, otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Liu Bei didn't know that Sun Qian had become an ant on a hot pot at this time, and all the relationships that could be used were used, but it still didn't work at all.

And at this time, Xu Shu came back from outside Xiangyang City, with a young man who was only twenty years old, pulling a carriage, and returning with a happy smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
